"Common Ground"
Ship: USS Paris
Class: Excelsior

screenshot Your assignment is to meet a Federation ambassador, serve as his attache and help the Astareans with any problems that may arise. And you know there'll be problems, so be sure to head to the damage control and energy allocation screens and prepare for battle.

Warp to Astarea III, Find Missing Ships, Search Hashapur System: When you reach Astarea III you'll find that the Klingon, Romuland, and Gorn ships are not on the scene. Ambassador Varo explains that they vanished near the Hashapur system, and asks you to go there and scan for them.

Search Divan System, Search Well of Discord: Your next search location is a little more lively: When you reach the Divan system you'll find the freighter Mother's Pride being attacked by a Venturi pirate. Destroy the Venturi (a simple task) then head for the Well of Discord. There you'll find all of the missing ships. Do not go to red alert - if you do that when you arrive they'll attack you en masse.

After talking to a few of the captains you learn they all seem to want peace. Make sure your shields are down. Hail the Venturi ship (you'll have to scroll down the list of ships using your down arrow key, or you can go to the communications station and click on the Venturi ship then click "Hail"). He's much more talkative then the rest and will reveal that he's being controlled by some type of life form. As soon as he ends the conversation, stay at green alert and head directly for the Venturi ship. When you get to within 6000 meters (or even a bit sooner) go to red alert and open fire on the Venturi with all you've got. The other ships will try to engage you, but it should only take one pass to destroy him - and when that happens all the other ships will stop firing on you and will follow you back to the peace conference. Mission accomplished.
