The away team, under Commander Crusher, beams down to the Power generator on the planet, controlling the missile platforms, while the Highlander sits waiting under cloak. After a short battle, the destruction of the Generator, creates an EM shockwave emanating from the surface. Using the wave to their advantage, the fleet engages the enemy, in hit and run tactics, while the wave closes down on the unsuspecting. At the last possible moment the Fleet breaks off and warps out at maximum speed, leaving the Jem Hedar and Cardassian warships to be crushed in the wake. With the Planet, now once again under Federation control, The Highlander returns to DS 9 for a debrief and running repairs.
