As the crews of the two mighty vessels work to find a cure and locate the artifact, two brave captains must bring order to Proxima before it’s too late! One hundred years after that, Commander Benjamin Sisko of Station Deep Space 9� enlists the aid of Captain Declan Keogh of the *U.S.S. Odyssey* to help construct a farming colony on Bajor’s second moon — but the colony is placed in jeopardy when the Bajoran terrorist Orta discovers the second artifact and threatens destruction on a massive scale!
