Troubles in the Neutral Zone?

The Romulan Star Empire struggles with an impending supernova threatening Romulus and Remus, exacerbated by a failed response due to an Android Uprising at Mars shipyards. Federation-Romulan tensions escalate over controversial attacks on Klingon ships, blamed on the Federation. Admiral Lance Thomas emphasizes the necessity for diplomacy amid the crisis, acknowledging the attack’s severity.

The Romulan Star Empire faces an existential threat as a supernova looms over Romulus and Remus, their key inhabited worlds. This crisis is deepened by the loss of the anticipated Federation Fleet, previously under construction at the Mars shipyards, which fell victim to a catastrophic Android Uprising. The subsequent refusal of the Federation to deploy a second fleet, despite Admiral Jean Luc Picard’s vehement protests and resignation, has plunged the Empire into a desperate search for alternatives to prevent the impending disaster.

Amidst this backdrop, tensions have flared between the Romulan Star Empire and the United Federation of Planets, reaching unprecedented lows. The crux of the issue lies in the capture and misuse of a Romulan T’liss Class starship to attack Klingon vessels, an act Romulus attributes to Federation-backed terrorism. The evidence, pointing to a Federation Saladin Class starship’s involvement, remains inconclusive due to obscured hull markings and a deactivated transponder, casting a veil of suspicion and ambiguity over the Federation’s role.

Admiral Lance Thomas of Solas Tempus voiced his concern, stating, “The attack on the Romulan vessel is completely unacceptable, especially during a time of crisis for the Romulan people. We are working with the Romulan government to track down the perpetrators.” This sentiment highlights the urgent need for diplomatic efforts and cooperation to address the multifaceted challenges facing the region.

Recommending Reconnaissance Romulan Forces on the Move

Long range sensors have indicated that Romulan forces are moving into an previously unexplored region of space. It is unknown at this time why the task force is on the move. Command is recommending a reconnaissance mission be organized to track the group and investigate possible reasons for the fleet movements.

It is believed the task force consists of 2 Romulan Warbirds and 6 frigates with as many smaller vessels. The vessels were tracked heading out of Romulan space 3 days ago where the group cloaked shortly after passing through the edge of Cardiassian space, the group remained visible through that space passing through the tachyon detection network on the opposite side of Cardassian territory before cloaking.

Projected course puts the group heading out into unexplored space. Command recommends a scout mission be organized to track the group from the point they left Cardassian Space and attempt to locate them undetected.
