“As I recall Captain, I remember reading something about the nebula being home to smugglers and other sorts of outside the law people.” Threwn stated, pulling up the computer database to confirm his memory.

The only history on the Bretaka Nebula showed that it was mainly traversed by the Klingons and the Cardassians. With the incident of the Raknal V incident the only other incident in recent history was during the Dominion War when the Dominion used the cover of the Nebula to create a base to make ketracel white.

OOC: I think your thinking of the Briar Patch. It was used as cover by many races of raiders. The Patch is on the opposite side of the quadrant.

“Plenty of Cardassians and Klingons, but between them and the hazards the sorts that inhabit this kind of area aren’t about to be taken lightly.” Dante looked for that report in amongst his data to put up on the screen alongside the medical information.

The greatest danger in the Nebula was the various radiation if the ship got too close to any of the phenomena or the gavimetric distortions. Of course there could always be hiding Cardassian/Klingon ships. :)

Sinclair spoke up and said “Captain, if I may… why the Saracen? Surely a Science vessel would be better equipped to investigate an area like that.”

“I’ll call up all the reported traffic in the nebula, their sensor reports, correlate them, then account for stellar drift, gravemetric effects as well as subspace eddies and try to come up with a reasonable map of what to expect both materially and navigation wise.

Graham.

“What kinds of navigational threats might this Nebula pose to the Saracen?” Gavain spoke up. “And can we pinpoint what frequencies of EM radiation are being emitted specifically by the new signals, perhaps by comparing the spectrum before and after they showed up?”

Gavain, COO

Doing his part, Colter called up information on any hostile forces in the area, as well as any recent acts of agression or violence that may be associated with the area.

Colter (CIO)

The records showed that there was a high probability of Cardassian and Klingon presence in the nebula as both claimed the territory.

GM Nosferatu

Sha had been listening and offered up an opinion about them versus the science vessels. “My guess is, with the high Klingon and Cardassian presence, a science vessel may not have the defensive, or offensive, capabilities. And my guess is, with the compliment on this ship, we are best equipped for contact ‘and’ information gathering of the six ships within a week of the given location.” She looked up from the PADD in her hand and glanced around the room with a wonder if she had, perhaps, spoken up out of turn. Her own curiosity had gotten the best of her when folks started asking ‘why us?’.

“I’m just glad they did,” He turned to the captain, “We can scan with the best of them sir, there is nothing a science ship can do that we can’t.”

Graham

“Captain, with both the Cardassians and Klingons claiming the territory of the nebula, one of them may be attempting to tip the scale in their favor. Have we gotten any information from either or those factions. Though, I wouldn’t necessarily trust anything the the Cardassians report, anyway.”

Colter (CIO)

OOC: I asked the GM a question a little while back, not sure if you saw?: “What kinds of navigational threats might this Nebula pose to the Saracen, and can we pinpoint what frequencies of EM radiation are being emitted specifically by the new signals, perhaps by comparing the spectrum before and after they showed up”

OOC: Sorry I did answer this but it must have gotten lost in the all posts. I will repost it here.

IC: The nebula as a T Cluster which meant that it was full of dark matter, stellar nurseries, and extreme gavimetric distortions. There were also Class 4 Pulsars. Given all these factors there was a large amount of electromagnetic radiation, radio waves, visible light, xrays, and gamma radiation. As to your abilities to pinpoint the EM radiation, certainly you should be able too. The various radiations are coming from all of the above phenomenon. If you wish too have more in depth information of each of the stellar phenomenon mentioned above you can either ask or give a read on Wiki. That is where I have gotten the majority of my info on them.
