The Tressaurian Intersection

"The Tressaurian Intersection'" was the third episode of Star Trek: The New Voyages Season 1. 
==Plot==
Starbase 16 is destroyed and Captain Branson's old ship, the USS Kongo, is missing. On a hunt for the perpetrators, the Enterprise encounters a strange ghost out of Branson's past -- the Tressaurians: a savage race responsible for stranding Branson on planet Tangaro as a young cadet. Now, the Tressuarians are tampering with deadly new technology. Can the crew of the Enterprise uncover its secrets in time, or will this discovery lead to an even greater threat?

INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The crew are all at their stations as Commander Ivanova is sitting in the Captain's chair, the turbo-lift doors opened and Captain Branson walks onto the bridge.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Captain's on the bridge.
And the young Yeoman checks herself and then walks over to the Captain and Commander. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Report?
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: We're on course for Corith IV so far no contact from the Kongo or Starbase I took the ship to yellow alert.
Captain Branson sits in the Captain's chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: That's odd.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Ensign?
ENS. RICHARDS: Corith IV is homed to 1,2378 colonists.
CAPT. BRANSON: Thank you Ensign?
ENS. RICHARDS: Vani Richards sir.
She extended her hand and Captain Branson hands her the PADD. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: She transferred from Starbase 12 I've appointed her as your personal assistant sir.
Before he speaks Lieutenant Mitchell reports.
LTJG. MITCHELL: We're approaching Corith system now sir.
Captain Branson gets up from the Captain's chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: Julia open a channel.
LTJG. SMITH: Aye, sir no response sir not even from the USS Kongo.
LTJG. MASON: Sir, picking up debris from both Starfleet and a hull configuration I can't ID yet.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: So it could be Klingon, Romulans, Tressaurians.
John tenses up at that name.
CAPT. BRANSON: Captain Kosnett is in command of the Kongo.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Yes he is but why would he take on whoever attacked without back up if he knew we were on our way?
CAPT. BRANSON: I don't know but unless he had no choice.
On the viewer they see the planet and debris field floating around the ship.
LTJG. MASON: My god what happened to the planet?
LTJG. T'LAR: Unknown at the moment.
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm going down there Jack, T'Lar, Ensign Richards you're with me Z you've got the bridge.
The group enters the lift.

The landing party materialized.
CAPT. BRANSON: Hmm, that's weird the last time I was here it was sunny.
The landing party moves out as they're walking up a hill John helps T'Lar up as they see the starbase and colony destroyed. 
LTJG. MASON: My god what happened to the colony?
T'Lar is examining her tricorder.
LTJG. T'LAR: Unknown.
Captain Branson gets out his communicator and flips it open as it beeps.
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Branson to Enterprise Starbase 16 is gone is there any other vessels in the sector?
LTCMDR. IVANOVA (com voice): No, sir sensors are still being blocked by the interference
Ensign Richards sees something and heads towards what she sees and screams as the others run towards her and they see the saucer section of the Kongo. 
LTJG. MASON: My god its the Kongo.
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Z we found what's left of the Kongo sir just her saucer section my guess is she separated and her stardrive is somewhere out there, we're heading into the colony to search for survivors.
EXT-CORITH IV COLONY
The landing party are searching for survivors but find none as John is figuring out who did this.
CAPT. BRANSON: No it can't be that's impossible.
He gets out his communicator.
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Branson to Enterprise no survivors sir I repeat no survivors it looks like whoever did this didn't want any witnesses we're ready to be beamed up.
