Storyline

Mission Story
Ishka Issues Nog's grandmother, Ishka, has been kidnapped by a band of Kazon! Help Nog rescue her before she comes to harm.
We were able to catch Ishka's abductors and free her safely, but who are they working for and how did they get to her?
Not Without A Fight We have have successfully defeated the Kazon both on land and in space, rescuing Nog's grandmother Ishka from an attempted kidnapping. I am certain Nog wishes to offer us his thanks.
A Kazon Scorned We have rescued a Ferengi civilian transport from the vengeance of Jal Haron, who feels disrespected and slighted by the Alliance. What will he do next?
Common Ground Jal Haron has returned to demand surrender from the Ferengi Alliance for their crimes against him. Help mend diplomatic relations between them.
We were able to calm Jal Haron's temper and find some common ground between his sect and the Ferengi Alliance.
Deadly Disruptions Theives have stolen a fortune from Quark, including an old stash of Klingon disruptors. Recover them before they fall into the wrong hands.
We cornered the thieves with their ill-gotten gains, but the person they were bringing them to was... Quark. A puzzling turn of events. We'll have to see what he offers up for an explanation.
Self Control Quark's future and past selves seem unwilling of resolving their differences without outside assistance. Act as arbitrator in their dispute.
Despite their constant scheming, we prevented the Quarks from putting one over on us, or each other. All that remains is to deliver our verdict in this arbitration.
Mutual Assured Destruction We have successfully disarmed both Kazon-manned ships which refused to accept a bloodless end to the conflict between the two Quarks. Now we must find out what that end is...
Arms Race Our attack has delayed Jal Culluh's attempts to attack the Ferengi Alliance, but he's managed to escape capture. We must speak to Captain Janeway and Doctor Reyga to plan for another inevitable attack.
Fan Club We have defeated a zealous Ferengi crew intent on defending their idol, Jal Culluh. We cannot afford any more delays - we must hurry to stop him before he reaches his target.
Trial by Fire Jal Culluh is en route to Ferenginar to bombard it with highly unstable weapons. Stop him before he destroys the planet, or worse!
Thanks to our intervention the isolytic torpedoes now float harmlessly in space and Jal Culluh's warp core is returning to stable readings. He doesn't seem all that pleased about it.
He Means Well We have disabled a Ferengi ship captained by Rom, who hoped to strike against the Alliance (led by his future self). His brother Quark surely has more to say on this subject.
