Triona System Outpost

Lieutenant Rocha's prior posting before Relay Station 47, the Triona System outpost stands as a remote frontier station vulnerable to undetected biological threats. Beverly Crusher theorizes the coalescent organism absorbed Rocha here during his service, its microscopic form mimicking cellular structures amid the isolation of deep space. Harsh conditions and sparse oversight mark this outpost, where routine patrols turned deadly, seeding the entity that later assaulted the relay station crew.
