Star Trek: Starfleet Academy--Lost Contact #4 Cover A (Espuna)

Things are looking bad for the cadets: They’re stranded on a desolate planet with low oxygen reserves, a hostile civilization, and a force field that’s cutting off their comms to the U.S.S. Athena.

Then, through the silence, comes a clang. Pop. The aliens are back to finish what they started.
Meanwhile, Chancellor Nahla forms a plan to reach her stranded students! There has to be some way through the storm…
