Boats Against the Current (mission)

Dr. Richard Galen, one of the Federation's most distinguished archeologists, wants to conduct a survey of a pair of planets inside the Klingon Empire. However, relations with the Klingons are strained and they're only willing to offer a limited window of time to conduct the survey - not enough to survey and travel between both planets. The Tempest must work in conjunction with another starship and its captain to conduct Dr. Galen's research and make a discovery that could change the face of the galaxy.
