SUBMITTED:
Stardate 94492.9
FILED BY:
CAPT Desimone, S.
SECURITY:
Level 2 - Confidential


LOCATION: High orbit over Defara

MISSION: Planetary Defense.

OUTCOME: Total destruction of Hur'q aggressors

KEY PERSONNEL:

CAPT Desimone (USS Axiom)
CAPT Quint (USS Victory)
CMDR Nimitz (USS Akagi)


NARRATIVE: While standing by at Deep Space Nine, Akagi, Victory, and Axiom were deployed to Defara to intercept and subdue a Hur'q attack fleet picked up on long range sensors. Our vessels arrived minutes ahead of the attacking swarm and got into position over a trio of orbital platforms containing Defara personnel who, for reasons as yet undetermined, were unable to evacuate.

Axiom's small craft formed a screen between the three platforms and the ships defending them. Axiom also deployed Polaris to work closely alongside Akagi, as well as to harry any Hur'q trying to work around our forces back into our weapons range.

Vessels analogous to 6 cruisers and 15 frigates escorted a heavy dreadnought analogue into a head-on engagement. Our losses were well within projected margins. The only noteworthy damage suffered was by Victory, when one of the Hur'q "frigates" turned out to be little more than a shell for a cloud of swarmers. Appearing crippled, it managed to drift near enough to Victory that the suddenness of the ambush managed to overcome her point defense systems, and one of them impacted the rear torpedo launchers, rendering it inoperative.

Other than this and the loss of a total of 4 small craft, all three ships remain fully combat ready. No Hur'q forces survived.

RECOMMENDATION: It is my recommendation that no further disruption to the vessels or standard operations of Task Force Argo should be necessary, and all the reinforcing ships already in the Alpha Quadrant are more than up to the task of defending against any further Hur'q incursion.
