RE: Mission Orders

Commander,

The USS HYDRA, while returning from a two year exploration mission to map
parts of the outside of the Cocoon, picked up signals from inside the isolated
Gazebo Star Cluster that might be of sentinent origin, possibly Klingon.

You are to investigate into the matter. Avoid a confrontation.

Intelligence Report, Cmdr. Tulok:

The Gazebo cluster is an area of space outside and about 350 LY from the
entrance to the Cocoon and consists of about 240 young stars that are unlikely
to be able to support any native lifeforms yet. It would, however, be a perfect
place to install subspace surveillance equipment to observe all traffic between
Bajor and the Cocoon, as well as to secretly construct ships from the easily
available minerals. Since the cluster is remote and no traffic to it has been
observed despite our own close surveillance for the aforementioned reasons, it
is logical that only a power with cloakable ships may have gone there, for
whatever purpose. Caution is clearly advised.
