Yes, Saru. A strange, yet familiar energy emanates from the far reaches of the Alpha Quadrant. My attempts to scan these sites for information have been brief, yet informative.

Commander, preliminary scans of the system detect the warp trails of several Starfleet vessels. They appear to be using this location as an entry point to the Klingon battlegrounds.

That is not all. There is… something else. My scans have also detected a vast number of powerful energy pulses of unknown origin.

This area of the galaxy was once the site of a myriad of bloody battles fought during the Klingon War and, as such, has remained dormant for decades – or so we thought.

Starfleet have been investigating the origin of an unknown energy pulse emitting from this area of the galaxy. We have reason to believe they are retrieving samples of whatever is out there.

Just as I suspected. We don’t have a moment to lose – the Empire needs to immediately establish a foothold in this area of the galaxy.

However, it is in our interest to avoid an open provocation of war. It would be wise of us to employ an envoy in this matter. I may have just the right candidates.

The Suliban are a faction who retain and ferociously protect their alliance with the Empire. I am certain that we can rely on them to undertake this operation.

On the other hand, the Corvallen and their desire to secure their place as allies of the Empire also present an ample opportunity to capitalize on their military prowess.

I will defer the decision of which faction will assist us in this matter to you, Independent. You will oversee the chosen faction in the retrieval of one of these samples from Starfleet custody.
