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...
Rivet was walking through the streets of Lombax city together with Clank. She wasn't in the mood "It's a bummer that the two of them are grounded though it can't be helped."
They were both distracted until they suddenly bumped into someone.
Smack.
She fell backwards as a shadow loomed over her.
????: "Are you all right young lady?"
She looked up at the man or rather a Markazian. She looked up in surprise "You are.... Max Apogee?" The man looked startled before smiling "I thought everyone had forgotten about me by now, come on." He helped Rivet to her feet "I think we could have an interesting chat."
In another part of the galaxy, the USS Verity was advancing through warp.

Chu'lak looked at her console "Captain. We have new orders from Starfleet command, we are ordered to rendezvous with the USS Hikaru Sulu at Fastoon to beam Talwyn aboard for our mission."
Rhys looked at the Lombax "The Hikaru Sulu, a sister ship to the USS Verity." Ratchet nodded "There has hardly been a meeting of ships of the same class. The Verity and the Hikaru Sulu, two Odissey class starships in one place will be an incredible sight. Lieutenant Sidney, change course for the Fastoon star system. Warp 9."
Sidney keyed the console "Aye sir."
Fastoon

The Verity came out of warp in front of the planet, Ratchet couldn't help but feel tense. To be back here, on this world abandoned by his race was sad and pitiful.
Nagasaki looked up from his console "Captain, the Hikaru Sulu is in orbit of the planet." Hearing that the Lombax gave the command "On screen."
