Captain Ra remains in the Katana's sickbay, in a comatose state. Dr. Bra'an and Dr. Thamen were able to stabilize her condition, but nothing more. LtCmdr Lacey Sherman, has been recalled to Starbase Omega to take command of the USS CAMELOT, so command of the Katana has fallen onto Thelek for the time being.

The attacker was a Naussican, and is believed to be an assassin working for the Klingon empire. As a result, Careth was hospitalized on the Starbase, and will not be accompanying the ship on her next mission. LTCMDR Lex has been given temporary command of the XERXES, until such time as Careth can make a full recovery. Lt. Norda, a Starfleet combat advisor, has joined the crew for this mission.

It has rejected all of the federation repairs to its hull, opening parts of the station to space, as it grows an organic hull -- or perhaps regrows. The station has been evacuated. Most of the crew of DS 101 are on the HIKARU, with the overflow on the CURIE -- DS 101's CO, FO, and 2O/CSO remain to try and save the last civilain aboard and find out what is happening to the station. About 100 people, mostly civilians, were killed on shuttles, pleasure cruisers, or runabouts by the station. There were also casualties on a Hetgarot frieghter that was the last one loading. Observations from the USS CURIE reported that the station fired on the nebula and the Nebula fired back. All ships were ordered by the CURIE CO, highest ranking officer in comm range, to evacuate the area. The ships did so, while Galia Bitzalel, FO of the CURIE said that the CURIE would have to return, as they were needed to aid the station. T'Sara, former SF officer turned bookstore owner, offered to lead the 2/3 of the civies on the Curie that could not be squezzed on freighters to M'Sagro three. The offer was accepted and the group is on their way. Meanwhile, the command crew of DS 101 are cut off from outside communications, but are making discoveries about the nature of the changes in the station. *** USS CURIE See DS101 Sit Rep. *** USS HERACLES No report submitted. ******* Viper Squadron: Commodore Davis Dal Starian --- USS DURHAM The Durham has is currently conducting repairs on one of the 4 freighters that it is escorting.

Deep Space 101 is investigating the incident. A ceasefire has been established with the Na'Chem. The Juun response has been unexpectedly reserved. Talks have resolved the recent 'pirate' problems in the Irimida Sector Klingon Situation Report for Starfleet - Commander Inhoff: Communications between the Federation and The Cocoon have been terminated by a Klingon task force striking from an unknown base. Reports and communications to the Federation are currently being carried by escort vessels to the vital conveys that supply the Cocoon. Rumours of a Klingon attack on The Cocoon are circulating within the Federation. The tenth fleet is being sent to provide backup should the rumours be true. A communication from an unknown reliable source has provided The Cocoon Fleet with more solid information and a defense fleet is massing at SB OMEGA to repel the Klingon assault. The USS HORIZON is leading a task force of 12 starships, including the USS GRYPHON in a pre-emptive strike against the 600+ strong Klingon assault fleet. SFSec continue to investigate the apparent assasination of the Klingon Ambassador on Arkanis by the former CinC of Starfleet, who was killed later by the Klingons. The USS SAGAN is currently on it's way to retreive the SFSec team and complete the mission in hopes of stopping the Klingon assault on The Cocoon.
