Prelude

Summary
After taking aboard supplies and replacement crew at Deep Space 9, the Klingon warship, IKS K'Tang, begins a scientific mission in the Gamma Quadrant.

After visiting several planets including Keltari and Caldonia III, Commander Krek learns of the legends surrounding vessels which disappear in an area in Sector G17 known as "the Abyss". With a desire for battle and glory, Krek takes the K'Tang into "the Abyss" and is attacked by a Cardassian Galor-class warship commanded by Gul Marel.

With the K'Tang 's weapons systems disabled she is soon overpowered and destroyed by the Cardassian vessel. Fortunately, the K'Tang was able to launch a message buoy to warn of the attack.
