"Rescue the Perishing" (originally titled "Merciful") is a vignette, set in the Star Trek: Shadowstar Station timeline. It was written by Rahadyan Sastrowardoyo and published in the Starfleet International Fan Association publication, Hypospray, in March, 2025.
Shortly after the Federation-Klingon War, two starships and a hospital ship travel to the Klingon border to treat the inhabitants of a non-aligned world infected by a previously unknown virus.
Background information[]
The vignette's title is taken from that of the 1869 American hymn of the same name, written by Fanny Crosby.
