Niven is a star system in the Enigma Sector. The TCS Concordia visited that system during the Enigma Campaign where it was joined by TCS William Tell as a replacement for TCS Beowulf. Their purpose was to determine if the Kilrathi wer preparing for an assault there.[1] the Kilrathi moved through the system to Ghorah Khar.[2]
Pilots of the Concordia flew several mission while in that system.
- Maverick flew a A-17D Broadsword to scan jump trails of Capital ships and engaged Jalkehis and Grikaths. Meanwhile Spirit led a patrol wing to investigate, and Banzai patrolled quadrant 7.[1]
In that mission, two P-64C Ferrets tagged Viper 1 and 2 are seen flying around Concordia and William Tell. It is not clear if these ships are piloted by Spirit and/or Banzai.
- Because of sunspot activity, the Concordia lost contact with Niven, and Maverick flew a Ferret with a comm packet from Geoffrey Tolwyn to the Chief Officer at Niven and engaged a wing of Sarthas. Meanwhile on the Concordia, a traitor killed McGuffin while transmitting the ship's location to the Kilrathi.[3]
- As Maverick returned to the Concordia, he was ordered by General Snell to escort {{class|Free Trader]] transports TCS Bhomis and TCS Excalibur carrying medical supplies for the outpost at Argarrio 2, to the jump point. Meanwhile Downtown escorted a food transport from Niven to Ghorah Khar.[4]
- Reconnaissance near Niven indicated that the Kilrathi's target was Ghorah Khar and the Concordia prepared to follow. In a Ferret, Maverick flew scout to the Concordia's port side. He encountered phantom fighters but upon his return his flight recorder was stolen and could not prove it.[2] Concordia then jumped to Ghorah Khar.[5]
