Legia IX Diplomatic Envoy

Briefing:

Approximately 1 year ago, first contact was initiated with a species calling themselves Olelian. As a relatively advanced warp capable civilization, the Olelian's were welcomed by the Federation and they quickly expressed interest in membership.

Whilst the Olelian's application for membership to the Federation is being considered, 38th Argo has been tasked with sending a diplomatic envoy to Legia IX - home of the Olelian people - to establish a firmer relationship and learn more about them.

Stardate: 92575Report Submitted: Cmdr Se'lai, KeelahDelivered to: 38th\Command

Team 1 AAR - Score: 18 - Rank: Consul

On approximately Stardate 92574.4, we dispatched the first diplomatic envoy to the Legia System. This initial group consisted of myself, Captain Konieczko, Commander Rallir & Subcommander Davin. The envoy proceed to Legia IX on schedule, where upon arrival our services were quickly called into action to provide aid to a number of Olelian orbital stations. Following a string of successful interchanges, the envoy continued through Olelian customs to be greeted by First Assistant J'Fojofae who was most welcomed. J'Fojofae also presented the envoy with an ideal opportunity to carry out local reconnaissance as she had other matters requiring her attention prior to our meeting with the Ambassador.

The envoy seized this opportunity and split into two groups in order to cover more ground around the vast capital city. Captain Konieczko and myself made steady progress with a number of the local inhabitants who were very forthcoming and happy to share information. We also a strong sense of religion within the Olelian people which seemed focus around a hierarchical structure of multiple deities - not dissimilar to the ancient Greek or Roman mythologies found on Earth. Elsewhere, Commander Rallir & Subcommander Davin made the rather fortunate observation that the statues adorning the local plaza bore a remarkable similarity to those seen in ruins on New Romulus - they were Iconian. This revelation leads to the distinct possibility that the Olelian deities credited with once saving their race by uprooting them from another planet in the system and settling them on the outer planet of Legia IX were in fact Iconians. The approximated timeline of solar events within the Legia system would seem to support this theory, placing the expansion of the Legia star somewhere in the later centuries of the Iconian, prior to their demise.

Later in the day our envoy met with Ambassador K'Taum, where no mention of our discoveries about their heritage was made. The Ambassador was very grateful for our efforts during our visit and was in all very positive, however he observed that we were clearly Starfleet / Republic officers first and diplomats second - expressing concern at the Federation's commitment to the the Olelian membership application if no better diplomatic representation could be demonstrated.

It is this officer's opinion that further excursions to the Legia system are merited in order to better our standing with the Olelian people, and perhaps gather further intelligence about the Olelian people to aid in the Federation's decision making.
