Stardate 08111.5

We have been given orders to travel to the Tokara system by Captain Andun Dalium of Colonial Command. The Europa is enroute to the Virginius colony. The colony is in a remote rimward area and has not had any communication with the Federation in the last 18 years. Rumors of a new spacefaring race have prompted Colony Command to send the Europa to check out what's happening.

There are rumors of a species called Gordi who may have taken over the colony. Since the location of Virginius is so far out on the edge of this sector, little is known for sure.

We have come to a planet with planet wide storms with the unusal exception of one area . The Pallanquian delegation is urging me to beam down and away team . My security chief is advising me not to on the word of an alien who from what I've been told sounds like he may be responsible for deaths in the fleet .
