Task Force Commander's Log, Commodore Alejandro Suarez
Suffice to say, the Saratoga did not get away cleanly. The entire port principal radial EPS trunk has shattered and blown out at ... what is this, four, five, six ... nine nodes. There is a hole clear through the saucer section. I don't know how the bridge module survived. The starboard impulse engine, the main deflector dish mounting ring is cracked. Two of the plasma coolant loops have shattered. I'm actually preparing a report for Commodore Leslie at Warp Core Fabrication to try to figure out how this core didn't go up in a ball of inglorious antimatter.
I've attached my final repair estimates to this report. For a repair plan, the A Berth at the Hive of the Irrizizza has been authorised to receive the Saratoga.
[Repair Time: 4 turns (12 months), 40br, 20sr, O-2, E-1, T-3 - Repairing at Berth A, Hive of the Irizizza, Irizizza Colony, Apiata]

Captain's Log, USS Hood, Stardate 25208.4 - Captain Angela Curtis
The Diplomatic Service has arranged for a meeting with a number of Licori Houses at a minor Betazoid colony on Piara IV. It's not quite the verdant garden world that Betazed is, but I know the crew is looking forward to the visit. The locals won't need telepathy to figure that one out.
For those of us with a little more responsibility on our plates are going to have to prepare to meet nobility. The idea of dealing with people arbitrarily being designated by dint of birth as supreme is so archaic I can't understand how it coexists with spaceflight. The Diplomatic Service won't like that opinion, but it does not behoove a Starfleet officer to shy from the truth.

Captain's Log, USS S'harien, Stardate 25208.9 - Capatain Saavik
We have arrived at the Yel'urulausu system to conduct a routine check of the research facility there. However, I have encountered immediate hostility from the new administrator. I am unsure as to what may be the cause...
-
Captain's Log, USS Gale, Stardate 25209.5 - Captain Gorth th'Hashok
Starbase 11 is reporting unusual sensor contacts. We're not sure exactly what to expect here because it is outside the normal anomalies that Yrillian infiltrators attempt to access, and they're coming from the wrong angle. The USS Suvek is nearby as well, and they are going to join us on this intercept.
-
Captain's Log, USS Suvek, Stardate 25209.8
Our sensors have isolated the warp signature of the interloper. It's a Honiani signature, but not very refined. I believe it is a civilian vessel, not one of their heavy starships.
-
Captain's Log, USS Vigour, Stardate 25210.4
The IGS Fadath-Toir put out a distress call after suffering a cascade failure of ship systems. We responded with emergency warp factors and managed to get there in time to supply replacement plasma coolant loops to the failing ships. After taking off a number of non-critical ship's crew, my Chief Engineer helped get the Tech-Frigate back in operation.

Captain's Log, USS S'harien, Stardate 25210.8
By querying other Vulcan staff at the facility, it appears that it is my heritage that is creating the difficulty I am currently experiencing. The administrator believes it is antithetical to have a half-Romulan in a place facility like this.
I confess I am taken aback by this. With the recent improvement of Federation-Romulan interactions since the conclusion of the Biophage Crisis, I have not encountered any such resentment of my heritage. It appears that my fellow Vulcans have longer memories. I am unsure how to proceed.
-
Captain's Log, USS Gale, Stardate 25211.4
Although the identification of a Honiani civilian ship was correct, the passengers aboard was a Yan-Ros ranger team. It appears someone has been attempting to smuggle some of the more vicious creatures off of the Vail deathworld, and they are preparing to eliminate the creatures before they can have a chance to cause broader harm.
We have agreed to aid them on their mission, and beamed the team aboard. We are off on a chase!
[To be concluded next month]

Captain's Log, USS Hood, Stardate 25212.7
An unexpected coronal ejection threatens to strip the atmosphere from the Piara IV, and we are having to hustle in order to find a way to save it. The orbital station's shield will protect the intrasystem craft, while the Betazoid cargo ship in orbit can escape in time at warp easily enough. But there's too many colonists to evacuate, and, well, sacrificing half the planet's atmosphere sounds like a terrible idea.
We are working with the Mentat Agyre Diriv and we may just have an idea. It's a long shot though... I suppose I should expect that from a mentat.
-
Captain's Log, USS S'harien, Stardate 25212.9
Following on from the advice of my first officer, I have sat the Administrator down and had a discussion. When it proved difficult to get the Administrator to agree to meet me, I borrowed a procedure I knew had been employed to great effect by Commodore T'Lorel.
After the Administrator had been beamed into my conference room, he was much more amenable to frank discussion after an additional hour to calm down.

Captain's Log, USS Hood, Stardate 25213.1
Using the main deflector dish, we've heavily amplified the magnetic field of the planet to successful diffuse the incoming storm by sending high energy pulses of polaron radiation. I'm told that from the ground it was perhaps the most amazing lights display even seen by sapients. Hopefully someone has a recording!
[Gain +10pp, +10 with Licori]

Ambassador's Log, Morshadd, Ambassador Elisa Bairn, Stardate 25213.4
I can report that we are learning more about the events that led up to the commencement of war between the Arcadian Empire and the Ked Paddah.
We have had reported to us by a number of sources that there was an ultimatum issued to the Licori that creation of Mentats be limited to a half of the current rate, and Ked Paddah inspectors allowed into labs. This would never fly within the politics in the Empire, and it led to a sharp deterioration towards war.
There is a growing movement within the Diplomatic Service to push for a drawdown on the GBZ to prepare to potentially intervene.

Sector Commander's Log, Gabriel BZ, Rear Admiral Rachel Ainsworth
With the arrival of the Avandar, Commodore Rivers took her task force and aided High Queen Nerzizza forcing back the Cardassian scouting force. They withdrew rather than further contest. After that, Rivers pulled back to Collie station to avoid exposing our logistics train.
I have been contacted by the Amarkian fleet command, and can say that they are preparing to dedicate a Riala, a Hebrinda, and four escorts. I am attempting to get them to join Task Force 1 instead of just working independently but have not as of yet been successful. [Ainsworth Low Diplomacy prevents getting Amarkian fleet on board]
