Somewhere in the blackness of space lived trouble. A space station, hidden in the
depths of a dead world, hidden with technology.
Gortos was more than a galactic fortress burried deep within the brunt out hulk of a
planet that tore itself apart millennia ago. It was a prision named after the once
vibrant world it was built into. It was hidden by a debris field and by a cloaking
shield.
Feeding it's own brand of darkness were the Kalisara. A bat like race whose ugliness
was only matched by their intelligence and ferosity. The Kalisara were scavengers who
would do anything for a price. If you wanted something hidden, never to be found, at
least until you wanted it to be, then the Kalisara and Gortos were what you wanted.
The Kalisara were widely known, but largely ignored. Seen as a lower class of life
(the dregs of sentient beings), and hardly worth one's time. Gortos, on the other
hand, was what nightmares were made of. No one knew where it was, and only the most
foolish of fools tried to find it. Those unlucky buggers perrished in the most
horrific of ways.
It was at Gortos that an unlucky lot was being held. A pair of Intrepid class
starships, complete with crews, and a baker's dozen of other Starfleet officers. They
had all been there for a while. Some longer than others, some fairly recently
arrived. All, wanted out of the nightmare.
*****
Inside the dark docks of Gortos were the USS Athens and the USS Sparta, both Intrepid
class ships (think Voyager) lost some years ago. Three years for the Sparta, and five
years for the Athens. Their crews were still there, but many had not survived the
imprisionment. There was more than just a pair of Federation Starships, an admiral or
three, several captains, and the odd commander.
*****
Starfleet's great intelligence and specail operations organizations knew of Gorthos,
but not as fact rather as a myth. The few, and I mean seriously few, that thought
that the place actually existed were shunned and ignored. However, with no other hard
leads....
