Bait and Switch

With Task Group Belvedere deploying a sensor net along a line from Gavara across New Risa to Altair, the crew of the Black Hawk, along with two other ships, work to set a trap near Nebula G71-2B. Sensors are unable to penetrate the nebula, leaving the crew to think that it’s a good place for someone to hide.

The trap, a convoy assembled from Gamma Command’s two Defiant class escorts and two of their Wallenburg transports, is dispatched from Gavara to New Risa. The Black Hawk and its escorts attempt to mask their warp signatures as they follow the convoy, ready to jump in within seconds once (if) their mysterious attackers reveal themselves.
