Mission Summary

The U.S.S. Victory departs from SB900 on a mission of exploration taking the ship and crew into a region of space known as the Khrelan Expanse only recently opened for Federation exploration.

Long range sensors detect a star system which is host to 6 worlds, one of which is identified as Class-G, no indication of advanced civilization present. (ie There are no satellites in orbit, no radio transmissions, no subspace transmissions, etc.)

Six planets, three of which were Class C with no atmosphere and inactive cores. Two were Class D, borderline at that and perhaps better described as astonishingly large asteroids.. and one was Class G. Fourth in orbital progression, the class G world was estimated to be approximately 5 billion years old. It's atmosphere was a breathable mix of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen, with 1% methane which meant the planet surface likedly reeked of rotten eggs. Lovely world, with simple lifeforms consistant with insects, smaller reptilian life and aquatic life detected in it's oceans.

Oddly enough, though Class G worlds were not typically considered to be capable of hosting more advanced life forms, there was clear evidence of structures on the surface too regular and uniform in shape and layout to be natural in orgin. There were no energy readings however from the surface, nor transmissions of any sort detected across the communication band spectrum.

And most intriguing of all..

There was something orbiting the planet in a geosynchronous orbit above the planetary equator. And here.. there were very low levels of energy being detected. No life signs, just a large object 550 meters in length, with an estimated mass of 3 million metric tons.
