Story:Star Trek: Evolution/To The Slaughter

After the rescue of the O'arh, the crew stumble upon a massive crime ring.

Summary
The Challenger was in orbit only minutes until coordinates were acquired from the pirates, sending us deeper into unknown space. The mEn'dai spoke of answering to higher powers and refused to give any more information but where we were going.

The crew became greatly unnerved upon reaching our destination, a veritable interstellar dead-zone. One great red star bordered on supernova, dragging its planets slowly but surely towards itself. None of the planets had any signs of life: they had all been incinerated when the planets' orbits suddenly shifted as they were dragged towards the dying star. Spatial anomalies made communication out of the system almost impossible.
