}}The '''Malon''' are an economically-motivated humanoid species of the Delta Quadrant's [[Gradin Belt]]. Technologically advanced, they have prioritised the wealth and infrastructure of the many affluent corporations within the Cooperative over most other personal or interstellar concerns, resulting in a tendency for difficult and dangerous work conditions and practices of interstellar waste dumping.

== Political Structure ==
The '''USS ''Jaxartes''''' is a ''Raven''-class multi-mission light starship.
Not much is known of the Malon's government. Heads and representatives of powerful corporations appear to be the main or sole members of the Cooperative's legislature. With this authority they have jealously guarded their own interests, such as by obstructing the development of cleaner technologies due to the profit in the waste export industry. It is likely the Cooperative has regulated the use of technology and business practices within Malon space, as Malon Prime is considered one of the most beautiful planets in the quadrant. However, working conditions on Malon ships and the unrestricted waste dumping suggests there are areas of business or space where corporations do as they please in pursuit of profit.  


Personal opinions of some Malon suggest there exists opposition to the Cooperative's waste dumping and poor treatment of its workers, but Starfleet does not know how much of a foothold this movement has in politics or society.
=== Missions ===
'''Start-Up Problems''' - '''2393'''


These waste-dumping practices have left them unpopular and isolated within the Gradin Belt, and Malon interstellar policy reflects this. They have demonstrated little interest in engaging with other political powers, though individual Malon ships or corporations may find some profit in business arrangements. In pursuit of waste dumping, Malon infrastructure and presence can be found over vast regions of the Delta Quadrant.  
A new batch of Ensigns gets assigned to the Raven-class vessel named USS Jaxartes. Their mission is to expand further exploration of the Typhon Frontier in areas that Starfleet designates as safe zones. Ensign Praugol, assigned to the USS Jaxartes as its designated Captain, finds itself with a ship half-ready for the long journey. She has to get the crew, the supplies, and the ship working again as Starfleet was on a tied budget when this was approved.


== Society ==
=== Ship's Tour ===
The Malon have a strong sense of civic duty and pride in their people, both of which have resulted in at least unspoken hierarchies within their society. Other species and their ways of life are considered less valuable, as the Malon have at all costs protected the beauty of their homeworld by exporting and dumping the dangerous antimatter waste produced by their technology. While the Malon as a rule attempt to find uninhabited regions for this dumping, this does not always happen and is not always respected by individual ships or corporations; the wellbeing of those people is less important than their profit, or the preservation of their homeworld.  
====Captain's Ready Room====
The Captain's Ready Room, also known as the briefing room, can be found on deck two behind the bridge because the size of the [[Raven Class]] is a relatively small briefing room. In addition, it is located in the middle of the ship, meaning it has no outside view. However, Ensign Valerio installed a holographic window that gives a real-time exterior view. Ensign Valerio gave it as a birthday gift to his Captain. In addition, the ship has some plants that contribute to the liveliness of the room.  


The Malon prize this work so highly that a dangerous job in the waste export industry pays more in one contract than a Malon sculpture could earn in a year. As this risk to life and limb has been considered worthwhile by several Malon, either the waste export industry pays exceptionally well, or the arts are paid particularly poorly - perhaps both. Waste dumping is also considered a far more important civic duty to protect the homeworld, and a professional culture has developed around the work. Waste-dumping ships have their own traditions and even their own superstitions, such as the Vihaar, a mythical monster that wreaks havoc within waste export vessels.  
The Captain's desk stands on the right side against the wall when entering the briefing room. It looks like a handcrafted table with the color of walnut brown, and it has grain patrons onto the wood to give uniqueness to the desk itself. The desk has two side drawers and a center drawer with a built-in holographic keyboard. When the center drawer is pulled out, the keyboard activates.


== Military ==
On the desk, you will find a group picture of Ensign Praugol and her academy class of 2392. Some scientific accessories such as a Vulcan Dust Globe, a planet mug that shows Federation Founders' planets, and when heated, it offers more astronomic details of those planets. On the side, a Newton Cradle Balance stands that keeps ticking. On the wall, you will find the screen and on its sides two posters that can be changed to any galaxy or star system. Most of the accessories on the desk are there as presents for Sazra, though in her fair opinion, they should have a function, or they shouldn't belong on the desk at all.
There have been no encounters between Starfleet and a formal Malon military. As their freighters have to cover vast distances and may face opposition to their operations, they appear to be well-armed and well-protected for vessels of commerce, and are commanded by a captain with the title 'Waste Controller.' They are particularly well-shielded against anti-matter radiation and have been known to weaponise their waste against enemies. It is possible there exists no formal Malon armed forces, with security and border protection the purview of Malon corporations.

In the middle of the table, you will find a holographic 3D device that can project any ship, planet, or astronomical object shown during a mission briefing.
* The Malon are not aggressive as a rule, but they have little interest in or value for non-Malons. They will not hesitate to steal their technology under these salvage claims if they deem it worth their while. Similarly, several accidents have occurred in the Gradin Belt where the Malon fled accidents aboard their own ships, the resulting antimatter explosions causing massive damage to any nearby while the Malon crews saved themselves.

The USS Jaxartes is a Raven-class multi-mission light starship.

Missions

Start-Up Problems - 2393

A new batch of Ensigns gets assigned to the Raven-class vessel named USS Jaxartes. Their mission is to expand further exploration of the Typhon Frontier in areas that Starfleet designates as safe zones. Ensign Praugol, assigned to the USS Jaxartes as its designated Captain, finds itself with a ship half-ready for the long journey. She has to get the crew, the supplies, and the ship working again as Starfleet was on a tied budget when this was approved.

Ship's Tour

Captain's Ready Room

The Captain's Ready Room, also known as the briefing room, can be found on deck two behind the bridge because the size of the Raven Class is a relatively small briefing room. In addition, it is located in the middle of the ship, meaning it has no outside view. However, Ensign Valerio installed a holographic window that gives a real-time exterior view. Ensign Valerio gave it as a birthday gift to his Captain. In addition, the ship has some plants that contribute to the liveliness of the room.

The Captain's desk stands on the right side against the wall when entering the briefing room. It looks like a handcrafted table with the color of walnut brown, and it has grain patrons onto the wood to give uniqueness to the desk itself. The desk has two side drawers and a center drawer with a built-in holographic keyboard. When the center drawer is pulled out, the keyboard activates.

On the desk, you will find a group picture of Ensign Praugol and her academy class of 2392. Some scientific accessories such as a Vulcan Dust Globe, a planet mug that shows Federation Founders' planets, and when heated, it offers more astronomic details of those planets. On the side, a Newton Cradle Balance stands that keeps ticking. On the wall, you will find the screen and on its sides two posters that can be changed to any galaxy or star system. Most of the accessories on the desk are there as presents for Sazra, though in her fair opinion, they should have a function, or they shouldn't belong on the desk at all.

Praugol receives guests in the Briefing Room on her brown couch. She will sit most of the time in her desk chair and turns around to the guest to begin their conversation. A small round table between them can be used for drinks or for placing some PADDs.

The Observation Lounge

At the back of the ship, you will find the Observation Lounge on deck 2. When entering through a small door on the far right side (when coming from the bridge), you will see a long light-brown oak table on the left side, shaped in a stretch-out circle. The chairs are custom designed to those you will find in most Starfleet vessels. However, these chairs are also the same soft color as the table. In the middle of the table, you will find a holographic 3D device that can project any ship, planet, or astronomical object shown during a mission briefing.

On the wall, there are paintings of various famous exploration ships. One of those is the USS Enterprise. On the other side, you will find big windows that show the back of the ship and a great view of space itself. It is said that Ensign T'path was mostly found here, as it brought her calmness while practicing her Vulcan meditation. While on the floor before the window, you will find a classic earth-designed carpet with that dark red color.

Back at the entree on the right, you will find a corner for one person to sit and relax. Dr. Ruslanovna has the hobby of creating something of every mission in the form of a beautiful painting. It is in this corner that these small paintings are hanging.

Main Engineering

From deck 1 to 3 you will find in the middle of the ship the heart of all its power, the main engineering. When entering the engineering, you will hear the humming and buzzing sound of the warp-core, like a purring little kitty. Within the engineering, you will find various tools and monitoring console to keep the flow of energy in control. Most of the ship had to be rebuilt, and the engineering was no exception from it, so even thought it is an aged ship that has seen quite a bit it has newer equipment.
