Mission Summary

The Romulan Star supernova has caused significant shifts in gravitational fields and general orbital patterns for a vast area of space - far beyond the areas obviously impacted by the supernova. Starfleet has been discovering various space debris of scientific value drifting from Romulan territory into Federation Space. Included among the debris there have been various cargo containers, and even loose items of archeological and anthropological interest, and most of what has been located does not appear to be Romulan in origin. Theories are that these are from a race that predated the Romulans moving into the system, and there is speculation about whether members of this race may still exist today.

Recently an abandoned ship has been discovered, believed to have belonged to this same civilization.

Commander Johansen and Commander Lorut had an unfortunate encounter with one of these artifacts in the week leading up to launch. Science Officer, Lieutenant T’lenn was the first Starfleet Officer to make any headway on deciphering the hieroglyphs found on the artifacts. There still is not enough data for the Universal Translator to work fluently, though her work has sped up the progress.

The Astrea is being dispatched to investigate under the Command of Acting Captain, First Officer Remira Johansen. The abandoned ship is currently dead in space without power. The crew is tasked with trying to restore power, access communications, and learn more about this unknown civilization.
