SNA Whatever Should Be Done Must Be Done, Act 1: "Performance Evaluation"
As the crew of the USS Challenger embarks on the final chapter of the starter campaign, Commander Xanthus th’Raviq faces a difficult test. Admiral Robert April personally conducts a debriefing, questioning whether this crew is truly suited to continue the hunt for the fugitive Dr. Urotoxa.
With the Admiral’s reluctant blessing, the Challenger sets course for Federation Starbase 323, a glittering hub of trade and diplomacy at a crucial junction of interstellar commerce. The starbase’s interlocking rings hum with life, hosting everything from sleek Starfleet vessels to worn freighters. At its heart, the Galactic Galleria bursts with color and sound: vendors hawking alien delicacies, merchants bartering over rare artifacts, and travelers swapping tales in a dozen languages.
But beneath the bustle of business and culture lies a web of secrets. And somewhere among the traders and travelers, someone holds the next piece of Urotoxa’s trail.
The chase resumes… and the Challenger’s next steps may decide whether Admiral April’s doubts were justified — or if this crew truly deserves Starfleet’s trust.
