What if... Ratchet instead of ending up on Solaris ends up being raised by human parents in the Federation.
Follow the voyage of Ratchet, the first Lombax to join Starfleet. Rivet, a Lombax raised instead of Ratchet on Veldin and the heroine of Pola...
The Verity advanced to warp 9 as Ratchet entered the command room followed by Talwyn, Rivet, Zephyr and Cronk.
Ratchet adjusted his uniform as Rhys stepped away from the chair denting himself in his first officer's position "Captain."
"Situation number one." Ratchet sat at his post as captain while Rivet sat at the other one. Talwyn was off to the side standing. Rhys looked serious "We have made contact with Starfleet, a force of Federation and Klingon ships. Most of the pirates were captured and transferred to PDF forces."
The Odissey class ship warp out and welcomed by a combined Federation and Klingon Empire fleet armada.
Ratchet smiled as he saw among the ships a Sovereign class. Not just any ship. It was the legendary Federation flagship.
The USS Enterprise.

Chu'lak turned "the Enterprise is hailing us."
Ratchet smiled "On screen."
The screen showed the bridge of the Enterprise E followed by a Klingon with the Empire ambassador's outfit. "Ratchet."
"Worf." The Lombax chuckled "It's good to see you." The Klingon nodded "I see you finally have your own starship."
"Thank you Ambassador." Ratchet smiled before looking serious "Worf, you know why we are here. don't you?" He nodded "Of course, let's meet in the surface."
He nodded "I'll be there shortly. Verity out." The channel ended as Ratchet stood, Number One, Rivet, Talwyn, and our robotic companions. Let's head to the transporter room."
Pirate treasury room.
The group beamed in front of the room where they saw several Klingon warriors and members of Starfleet helping to collect the treasuries to the ships and return them to their owners.
Ratchet walked as he noticed the ambassador standing at the end of the hallway. He smiled "Worf."
"Ratchet."
The Lombax began to speak in a language that the Rhys and Clank recognized except Rivet, Talwyn, Cronk and Zephyr.
Ratchet: "yIghoSDi' QaQ, yIghoSQo' " (It's good to see you again).
Worf smiled "rap. tlhIHvaD ngem DabochmoHlaH." (Same . Young warrior, I congratulate you on having your first ship in command.)
Ratchet nodded as he looked at the group "Allow me to present you Ambassador Worf. From the Klingon Empire and a friend of my adoptive parents. They served together on the Enterprise under Picard's command as the security chief."
"A pleasure to meet you all." The Klingon nodded respectfully. "Please." He pointed to the entrance as he walked to it followed by the group which came to a room filled with gold and valuable objects of Polaris.
