Olympus Bruised but Stable
The office of the commander of Starfleet operations in the Balkora Sector, Vice Admiral Timothy Scott, informed the Federation News Network that Starbase 425, known as Olympus Station, is severely bruised but stable. The admiral credits the gallant efforts of the crew of the USS Pegasus for the ingenuity that saved the starbase from falling out of orbit. A battalion from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers has arrived at the starbase to begin repairs.
Although Starfleet refused to comment on the cause of the disaster, FNN sources in the Balkora Sector indicate that the Bajoran terrorist organization known as the Children of the Prophets is the likely culprit. The Children are linked with various attacks on Starfleet and civilian spacecraft and outposts, and last year they interrupted the beginning of ongoing negotiations between the Federation and the Cardassian Union. Observers have noted changes to Starfleet deployments indicating that the space organization is taking the threat very seriously.
