History and specifications
On stardate 32641.2, the Billings visited planet Arali Prime, at the invitation of the native Adegeda. Second officer Lieutenant Commander Janeway received the honor to lead an away team. The science officer brought Lieutenant junior grade Tuvok, Ensigns, Ayana, and an Arcadian science officer along aboard Shuttle 03.

Shuttle 03 touched down on Arali Prime, and the team met with the Adegeda ambassador and their entourage. Due to the trans-dimensional nature of the planet's environment, the team began shifting between different locales, suffering from attacks by Adegeda airships and a volcanic eruptions. When returning to the Adegeda's presence, Janeway resolved the intercultural misunderstanding and gained agreement with the ambassador to depart and return later. Janeway and Tuvok piloted the shuttle back to the Billings. The three ensigns were worse for the wear, with Probert tired, Anaya injured and missing her left entire sleeve, and the Arcadian officer overwhelmed.
