36 min

Storyline

Massive swarms of insects are attacking the surface of planets in the Outer Rim. The crew has been called in to investigate and put a stop to the swarms.

Exanis is under attack from one of the swarms. On arrival, the crew discovers that the insects are actually GAL-Delilah's that are harvesting natural resources from the planet's surface. The crew will work in teams to determine the size of the swarm and to construct a trap that is large enough and strong enough to hold the GALs.
