The Long, Twilight Struggle

Posted on October 18, 1995July 15, 2023 by theLogBook.com

Londo has been recalled to Centauri Prime for consultations on the war effort. Current plans call for allowing the Narn to direct their entire fleet toward the Centauri supply planet as the bulk of the Centauri fleet converges on the Narn homeworld – and Refa expects Londo to deploy his “associates” to defend the Centauri supply world. In the meantime, Sheridan and Delenn are contacted by Draal, the Minbari who took over custodianship of the buried technological treasures of Epsilon 3. He wishes to pledge his allegiance to Sheridan in the coming war, even though Sheridan himself is still uncertain what role he will play in that conflict. The Narn fleet, led by G’Kar’s uncle, attacks the Centauri supply base only to be wiped out by the Shadows, who appear to be gaining more strength with each appearance. In the meantime, a Centauri fleet – one of whose ships carries Londo as a first-hand observer – begins bombarding Narn with mass drivers, laying the entire planet to waste. The nation of Narn again falls to its knees at the whim of the Centauri Republic.

Stardate not given: Dal and his crew are discovering the wonder that is the Protostar’s transporter system when a distress call is picked up. The signal comes from a Ferengi ship claiming to be carrying orphans – a claim Dal finds familiar. Sure enough, the Ferengi ship is commanded by DaiMon Nandi, who gave Dal shelter growing up. When Dal claims to have stolen the Protostar, Nandi asks him to use the Protostar – and the Federation – as a front to obtain a valuable crystal from a developing species, contact with whom would normally be forbidden by the Prime Directive. The species has the ability to shape matter with sound and harmonics, and Nandi is unimpressed when she presents a (worthless) gift and receives only a song in return. She snatches a crystal and runs, leaving Dal and the Protostar crew to find their own escape route. Dal confronts his old friend, and discovers while fighting to recover and return the crystal that he wasn’t kidnapped by the Diviner…he was sold to him. And Nandi will gladly sell him out again.

Cast: Brett Gray (Dal R’El), Ella Purnell (Gwyn), Jason Mantzoukas (Jankom Pog), Angus Imrie (Zero), Rylee Alazraqui (Rok-Tahk), Dee Bradley Baker (Murf), Jimmi Simpson (Drednok), John Noble (Diviner), Kate Mulgrew (Hologram Janeway), Robert Beltran (Captain Chakotay), Grey Griffin (Nandi), Melissa Villasenor (Nandi / Frail Woman)

Notes: If Nandi has been a DaiMon of a Ferengi ship for much of Dal’s early life, she either hid her gender or perhaps more reform has been underway on Ferenginar than episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine might have led us to believe.
