Senior Staff departs Starbase 418
Starbase 418 - 22 March 2386 - Moments ago, the USS Formidable departed Starbase 418 with the entire senior staff aboard, including recently reinstated Commanding Officer, Captain Lujan Serege. Though it is unclear if he is commanding the ship since the USS Formidable already has a Commanding Officer, one Captain Elissa Dimytrik -- who has just been appointed the station's Executive Officer. This appointment, including Captain Serege's appointment as Sector Commander, means both officers will be extremely busy and some are wondering if they can handle so many responsibilities. However, most believe they can.
The purpose of the USS Formidable's immediate departure is still sketchy because of the quickness of it. For the most part, though, it seems to be a defensive mission to the planet Janera; a planet within Federation space, but is not a member world. The Klingons believe that an arms smuggling ring, among other illegal activities, has been supplying their own world, Tolok, with weapons and other supplies to mount a revolution of sorts. This "revolution" wouldn't be by other Klingons, but by Tolok's native inhabitants with whom the Klingons conquered approximately 250 years ago.
After the Klingons ordered the Janeran government to arrest and send those responsible for the smuggling to Tolok, the Janeran government was fearful of the Klingons. When the Janerans were unable to find any evidence of such an organization, the Klingons sent ships to Janera. Fearing what the Klingons would do when they got there, they contacted the Federation for help. The Federation, in turn, contacted Captain Serege since he was the closest.
