Freighter Sanction
A commercial freighter named Sanction drifts perilously in a failing orbit around the volatile Delos sun, its hull battered by intense solar flares and its systems struggling against orbital decay. The vessel’s distress calls crackle through the USS Enterprise's bridge, fragmented and desperate, as Captain T'Jon and crew face imminent destruction. The freighter’s industrial frame and navigation arrays show signs of critical malfunction under the star’s punishing radiation, rendering it a fragile beacon of human vulnerability amid cosmic chaos. The Enterprise crew fixates on the freighter, balancing risk and urgency to mount a rescue operation before the Sanction burns in the planet's atmosphere.
