Von Kane trapped by Utrek

Von Kane was caught in a trap by the Utrek but managed to escape. His ship was operating covertly in the DMZ acting on information from Utrek dissidents about an illegal Utrek base. A small base was found on an asteroid which appeared to be out of use. A team was dispatched in a SROPS to investigate. In the base they were attacked by a robot sentry and a dampening field raised preventing teleports. Several Utrek warships decloaked around Von Kane's Velocity destroyer. The Velocity was cloaked however retrieving the trapped away team would mean dropping the cloak and thus putting the ship at risk to attack.

The away team were instructed to set up the source of the dampening field using their hand-held scanners and then set up a datalink to the Velocity's weapons. The ship then decloaked, launched a pin-point attack on the field generator, teleported out the team to safety and then got away all in a split second. The Utrek gave chase but gave up after one Molentic Tuul was destroyed.

Afterwards Von Kane was able to return to retrieve the SROPS and destroy the base.
