There are scorch marks present on the hull linings of each ship. Looks like disruptor weapons to me. I’m reading some residual antiprotons.

Antiprotons? But that would mean…

Romulans.

We are entering into dangerous territory, Michael. We cannot allow the Romulans to learn of our existence here.

Relax, Saru. If the Romulans were here, they’re long gone now. We still need to examine the surface of the planet. Commander, take us in for a closer look.

I am beginning analysis of the residue now, Commander. This may take some time.

The surface of the planet has been rendered utterly uninhabitable. It appears that the attackers utilized some sort of extremely high temperature energy weapon.

This is a considerable amount of effort for a civilian colony. What sort of strategic value could this attack have had?

Dialogue
This isn't a strategy, Saru. This is… rage. They didn’t just destroy the defensive fleet, they immolated the population. They didn’t just steal the planet’s resources, they obliterated it.

Commander, I’ve taken the liberty of collecting samples of explosive weapons residue from the planet’s surface. We should return to our Station.

The devastation is… unbelievable. I’m picking up over a dozen ships out there. All of them just… annihilated. Who could have done this? The Klingons?

Unlikely. The Klingons would not risk an open attack this far into Federation space.

We need to get a closer look at the wreckage, Commander. Maybe we can figure out something about who did this.

Commander, we’re picking up a distress signal from a civilian colony in Federation space.

We can’t ignore a call for help from civilians either, Saru. We took an oath when we joined Starfleet to help those in need.

Very well. Commander, set a course for the civilian colony.
