Lightstorm
A Federation colony on Gakora, in the Gamma Quadrant, is
destroyed by alien vessels. The A'vwi, still under command
of Kol ("Hearts and Minds" [DS9 mini-series]), is on patrol
in the Gamma Quadrant when a distress call is intercepted.
Arriving at Gakora, Kol, Koleth, and Katha, an Imperial
Adjunct assigned to the ship by Gowron, find a single
survivor whom they take to DS9 for medical attention. Sisko
insists on returning to Gakora with Kol. Koleth takes time
to have a drink with Bashir, whom he owes a life debt. In
the Gamma Quadrant, the A'vwi is attacked by an alien
fleet, but their leader allows the Klingon vessel to travel
to their homeworld. On Myvock, Malek, leader of the alien
world, welcomes the Klingons, but condemns Sisko and Dax to
death. He believes humans have defiled Gakora, a planet
held sacred by his people. Back at DS9, the lone survivor
recovers enough to tell Bashir that it was Lursa and B'Etor
(Redemption, Part I [TNG]) who led the alien
attack on Gakora. Bashir and O'Brien travel to Gakora
looking for evidence only to be captured by the Klingon
sisters and turned over to Malek. Kol and Katha transport
the Starfleet officers from their gallows and kidnap Malek,
taking him to Gakora to show him the truth. Malek's chief
military commander betrays his leader and attacks the
landing party. Koleth gives his life to protect Bashir, but
Lursa and B'Etor escape. Malek ends his war on humans and
Bashir mourns his friend. Morn escorts Katha to dinner.
