Recovery
Farpoint is attacked by a small force from Malphuus's fleet. However, this proves to be a diversion, while a cloaked ship boards the Orbital Facility and captures Nemhain. The attackers escape with the research frigate.

Nick Fel orders that the ship must not fall into the wrong hands. Unknown to the rest of the unit, Nemhain has been working on a project for New Republic Intelligence, searching for a lost Imperial research project.

Mike Burn identifies the leak, a systems engineer who is able to locate the ship for them.
 

Recovery
A recovery force follows the ship to a naval base built into a small moon and launches an assault on the defenses, while troops break their way into the facility. Republica is delayed due to sabotage onboard, but manages to join the battle late.

Troops manage to board Nemhain, but are captured by a third party made up of both Imperials and Goa'uld apparently trying to steal the frigate. On seeing the Nick Fel and Skyline Essential land their starfighters in the bay and join forces with researchers trapped on the frigate when it was initially captured.

The ship is retaken, but a Goa'uld manages to escape with the vital intelligence onboard.
 

Talon Adventures
Talon Squadron barely survives a pirate attack on a routine escort mission.
 

Project Starthrust
Andru Clayton manages to recover destroyed data from Nemhain, pinpointing the location of a lost Imperial prototype for a hyperdrive engine which far surpassed current technology.
 

Project Starthrust
A force is assembled to scout the planet and try to find the vessel.
 

Project Starthrust
Under cloak, Kinesis deploys the ground forces, which set up camp and begin to explore the icy surface of U1977. Pinpointing an gravetic anomaly, they soon find a structure hidden under the ice and a team sneaks into it.

Inside, they find the gutted remains of the original Starthrust prototype, and a Deity Star Destroyer on which it has been installed. Under heavy fire, they slip onboard the vessel.

Meanwhile, enemy forces manage to locate and attack the transport craft.

Onboard the Star Destroyer, the team is able to take control and launch the ship. They find the drive utilises a black hole powered by a Sith artefact known as the Force Harvester. The device seems to work by absorbing the life force of native slaves.

Fighting off Triumvirate forces attempting to recapture the ship, the team is able to safely shut down the drive and evacuate the ship before destroying it.
 

Schism
Rogue Squadron learns Malphuus's forces are planning to wipe out Triumvirate the in one blow. Feeling the Triumvirate are an important distraction, Rogue Squadron departs to defend them.
 

Schism
Mere minutes into the battle, various personnel onboard Hunter are inexplicably transported onto an enemy Star Destroyer, including Nick Fel, Corry Vrecken, Ilexa Thorn and Andru Clayton.

They discover a captive Nqei, who has been forced to build targeted transportation technology for Malphuus. The Nqei had managed to take over a small part of the Star Destroyer and transport the group to help him.

Meanwhile, a series of inexplicable accidents happen onboard Hunter and evidence is found of sabotage onboard.

With the help of New Republic troops, the missing officers are able to return to their ship and the Triumvirate is able to escape following the destruction of the Imperial Union's Interdictor.
 

Schism
On returning to Farpoint, Andru Clayton is stabbed and left in a critical condition by an unknown assailant.
