It was 0400 in the morning when the Rovarran’s entire command staff was summoned from their sleep or off duty rest to the main briefing room of the Admiral of Imperial Outpost 27 where the Rovarran had been docked for the past two weeks to fully refit and train. It was barely less then a week since an imperial announcement to the Empire made news that the Star Empire had reestablished contact with the Federation after events along the Neutral Zone on D’ruh (OOC: December) 26th of 2364. Now on Kri’Brax (January) 1st 2365 by the Imperial Calendar the Imperial Navy had felt a wash of recharge at this news. Some rumors spoke of a coming war perhaps with the Federation and their blighted Klingon ally dogs. But for now as the command crew came to the Admiral’s briefing room they were escorted in by a pair of sub-lieutenant aides. After ensuring the staff had some basic drinks and the like the pair went to their aide position in the room informing the staff that Admiral Tahee would be with them shortly.

Rh’vaurek sipped at his drink, eagerly looking forward to getting the briefing over with so he could go back to bed. Why Admirals insisted upon having briefings at the ungodly hours of the morning was beyond him, but he was here, the Admiral would quite literally have his head if he wasn’t. He wasn’t fully familiar with Admiral Tahee, but knew that when any Admiral tells you to report for a briefing, you attend.

To that end, he gently swirled his glass, trying to not fall asleep in his chair, as that would not look good for his image if the Admiral caught him sleeping. Of course, he probably wouldn’t be getting much more sleep today anyway, as this was in the stead of the contact with the Federation and likely they were being assigned their mission.

Sure enough just as everyone on the staff got settled the Admiral’s office door nearby opened and she came in. Tahee was a slim romulan woman averaging about 5‘11 in height, not the most muscular of sort either. But her strength lied in her well known ability of the sciences a career she had built up over the past 70 odd years to achieved her current position and influence. While Imperial Outpost 27 was not one desired by anyone who wanted more combative or action oriented postings, it was one of the largest outposts in this area of the Empire that hosted any number of scientific endeavors and trials. Given its positioning near a thick nebula and being well away from any normal civilian or mercantile traffic it was a prime location for any number of missions for this purpose. It was also a prime location of expansion into this sector of the galaxy of claimed influence by the Star Empire.

Tahee came striding in without any ramble. Before anyone could really say or do anything she simply said, “..Sit, I have no time to stand on ceremony today..” Whether they had begun to rise to her presence or not. Once everyone had done so or continued to do so she inserted a data chip into the table’s slot. A holo image of a two planetary system came up. “..This is imperial survey system 29 for this sector. ISS-29 has two planets, the first upon long range scans holds many minerals the Empire will claim for future mining operations. The second planet, is inhabitable to life, and does seem to have a highly primitive humanoid population. The Rovarran is to proceed here for arrival in the next four days, survey by scan the 1st planet to confirm the deposits and tag by probe future environmental bubble mines, then land and survey the 2nd planet. Make efforts for now not to reveal yourselves to the natives. Collect samples of the plant and animal life, once done transmit your findings back to this outpost for further orders. Ask any questions now..” She said.
