Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Second Artifact

During the first year of it's mission, the Earth vessel Enterprise, NX-01, discovered that Beta Aurigae VII was the home world of the Zalkat Union. The Zalkatian artifacts found on the planet included a box that once belonged to Malkus the Mighty. Inside the box, the crew found a record written after Malkus was overthrown and information on the four devices he had used to rule the union for a thousand years.

The second artifact was found in 2370...

Two years after the end of the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, the terrorist known only as Orta and his followers are coming home. A new farming colony is being formed on Bajor's second moon, and Orta's people have agreed to be the farmers for the new colony. With the help of Captain Declan Keogh and the crew of the Starship Odyssey, Major Kira Nerys and Science Officer Jadzia Dax implement their plan to turn cooled lava into arable soil.

As the Odyssey carried supplies to the New Bajor colony in the Gamma Quadrant, Orta found the Malkus Artifact, and formed a plan bring about Akwar's Ninth Prophecy two hundred years too early. Upon the Odyssey's return from the Gamma Quadrant, Commanders Joseph Shabalala and Benjamin Sisko have to work together to stop the terrorist from destroying Bajor's second moon, and save their fellow officers...
