Aucdet Nine

Aucdet Nine burns beneath Enterprise's sensor array as both sanctuary and death-trap, its plague-stricken surface blotched with desperate quarantine strobes. This colony world pulses with lethal urgency - Federation medical stations orbit like mechanical sentinels while surface facilities leak hemorrhagic terror into vacuum. The planet serves dual masters: source of salvation specimens racing toward containment systems, and ticking clock driving every bridge decision. Ghost-blue atmospheric swirls hide thousands dying in isolation beneath, while surgical-sterile orbital platforms await Enterprise's cargo of carefully packaged apocalypse. Every sensor sweep reveals new horrors: empty vessels where crews vanished into fever shadows, medical equipment abandoned mid-procedure, entire settlements sealed behind biohazard forcefields like urns waiting for cremation.
