Shades of Green

Tendi learns that her sister D'Erika is pregnant, a secret D'Erika kept so that Tendi would not feel obliged to leave Starfleet. When the Orion Pirate Queen orders the feud between House Tendi and the blue-skinned House Azure settled by a sailship race through a nebula, with the loser forfeiting its wealth, Tendi grows protective of her sister. During the race she boards the rival ship and engineers a tie, but the Queen declares both houses losers. Meanwhile the Cerritos helps Targalus IX, a new Federation member, dismantle its capitalist economy. Boimler and Mariner swap their usual roles as bosses until former elites kidnap their ensigns, who escape with help from Boimler's borrowed alternate-universe tips. On the ship, T'Lyn realises what the shuttle repairs mean to Rutherford and takes the craft apart again so the work can continue. In the end the planet's discarded riches go to House Tendi, and Tendi returns to the Cerritos.
