The Stakoron Incident

The Stakoron are a peaceful people. After two centuries of Dominion occupation, Stakoron II was abandoned by the Dominion. Stakoron technology had been entirely dependent on the Dominion's supply of sarvinium, which was required to operate the power grid. Federation assistance was required to secure a new supply, and conversion of the Stakoron power grid to standard deuterium power sources is under way.
