Week 1
January 1-7
The USS Reuben James leaves Earth for SBT.  The teams on Makra III discover that a splinter group of the Acamarians may be responsible for the cultural advances there.  On board the derelict vessel the Tellarite Captain refuses to turn the ship over to Star Fleet.  Some of the away team is 'detained' by the Tellarites.  On Makra III the team finds an Frigate-type starship armed with photon torpedoes..

Week 2
January 8-14
Marines go through a short training scenario.  On Makra III the Faulkner intercepts the Acamarian ship as it leaves orbit.  The Acamarian base is cleared of all advanced technology and sealed up.  The Faulkner returns to Starbase Tango.  The Reuben James arrives at SBT.  On the derelict vessel, the Tellarites engages the engines.  Some of the 'detainees' escape and begin to free others, but it is discovered that the derelict has moved from it's former position - a distance of approximately 179,000 light years to a neighboring galaxy!  There they locate an ancenstor of the Gorn - who explain that the 'derelict' was sent to our galaxy to do research.  Tribble population once again becomes a problem on board SBT.

Week 3
January 15-21
Dauntless and Gorn'an scientists determine that the crew of the derelict - which was named the Leviathan, abandoned the ship after an accident.  They intended to salvage the ship to colonize a planet, but somehow he engines activated before they could return and the ship was lost.  The former crew was forced to fight to survive, and evolved into the Gorn.  The Dauntless is returned to SBT by the Gorn'an.  Aboard SBT, the Tribbles continue to cause problems - disabling power supplies in several shuttlebays.
