"First Impressions"

Following events with Doctor Nemi and the Mirror Universe invaders, Captain Talos found herself leaving the ship on medical leave – only to later be discharged from the fleet on medical grounds. A new captain took her place; a Cardassian named Rejema Khassid. The crew immediately found themselves at odds with the woman who was horridly strict and by the book, content to tell off the officers for even the most minor of issues.

With their new captain settled, The Phoenix was dispatched to the world of Saltana in order to establish first contact with the ministers there. They found that the planet was very peaceful and more than willing to co-operate with the Federation. They had been forced to flee their original homeworld due to the waters of the planet becoming toxic, and were eager to accept any help that the Federation could bring.
