The Manticore is at Statiak Prime, soon to be a Federation member. 
Because of Council suspicions, A9 was ordered to investigate the 
people in advance of the induction.  The ship arrived under cloak 
while A9 and two covert away teams beamed down to investigate. 
Statiak has an annual "Purification," 12 hours when the gov't allows 
violence by the entire population.  The Manticore teams, with the 
help of a Purification resistance group, has disabled the shield 
generator that had been blocking communication and transport with 
Manticore.  Half of the team beam out, but the group underground 
at the Resistance safehouse cannot beam out due to an unknown 
metal in the surface in the ground around them - and A9 thinks he 
knows why.
