The Ninth Rule

"The Ninth Rule" is a cross-faction mission in the Star Trek Online video game. It is the seventh mission of the "J'Ula's Discovery" episode.

Description[]

There's a Starfleet distress signal coming from the Kinjer system. The U.S.S. Birmingham was investigating pirate activity in the area while on patrol.

There's a large concentration of spore colonies in that system. If pirates are in the spore business now, we have a new problem to deal with. We'd better see what's going on there.

Pirates. It's Harry Mudd all over again...
