Surface Tension

"Sphere of Influence" is a cross-faction mission in the game Star Trek Online. It is the ninth and final mission in the "Solanae Dyson Sphere" episode.

Description[]

Mission text: Recent events have underscored the threat posed by the Undine.; The native species of fluidic space, these aliens have infiltrated galactic powers, including the Federation, by using their shapeshifting and telepathic abilities. In an attempt to form a united front against this threat, I have called for a summit to discuss the means by which the various governments of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants can detect and neutralize the Undine presence.; The location for the talks will be the Jenolan Dyson sphere. Control of this site is currently under dispute by the Federation, the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Republic. However, I believe that access to the sphere should be a secondary concern to that of the threat of the Undine.; Your experiences in the field may prove to provide a valuable perspective, as well as a moderating influence. Please attend as a representative of the Federation.
