"Symbiosis" brings the Enterprise to the Delos system where their intent is to observe magnetic field changes. When there they come across the freighter ship Sanction and save it's crew just before the ship explodes. Dr. Crusher then discovers that the cargo aboard the ship is an addictive drug called felicium. Picard negotiates a settlement between the two planets Brekka and Ornara

Again I'm trying to come up with odd affiliation combinations for these non-affiliation specific missions. In fact the Klingons can put together a two-personnel crew to complete this mission: Ch'Pok and Yeto. The Dominion and Bajorans aren't too far behind either with plenty of these skills to go around. My sumary above basically explains the requirements of this mission: Stellar Cartography to do the initial stellar magnetic fluctuation observation, Transporter Skill to rescue the crew of the Sanction, Biology to identify the narcotic nature of felicium and it's effects on the Brekkans, and Diplomacy to negotiate a settlement between the two civilizations. 35 points is pretty good for a few commonly found skills and the Klingons have a chance to up that a little with AMS (though not much.) I feel that I've repeated myself a lot in this article from the summary to the lore to the explanation. What a perfect introduction to the next article: We'll Always Have Always Have Always Have Paris. ;)
