NARRATIVE: On Stardate 94684.1, I received an encrypted message from a Rihannsu officer, requesting our assistance, as the Ockham was the closest ship available. After changing course, the Ockham made it to the Ba'aja sector in order to search for this reportedly stolen ship.
The information we were given was that the ship in question was a derelict, stolen from a junkyard within the remnants of the Star Empire. However, those aboard managed to get it up and running again (obviously), and were using it to destroy Federation assets--mostly probes and other unmanned scientific observational equipment--within the sector.
We deployed a series of probes to set up a tachyon grid of our own to detect cloaked ships, while Ensign Niraj scanned old Imperial frequencies, searching for ones we'd broken already. The combined efforts revealed a ship watching our movements not far away. Their external communications revealed that they intended to try and stop us from doing some unnamed action.
We fired a warning shot, and they opened fire. The battle was brief, but intense. The Ockham will require some repairs before resuming its exploratory mission. Unfortunately, a lucky shot their reactor set of a chain reaction which spawned an overload and resultant implosion. We were able to beam 42 survivors off the Warbird before it was destroyed. Some had wounds too severe from either the battle or the overload to survive the experience.
Medical now has the remaining survivors, or they are in the brig if they are walking wounded. They will be questioned and a second report will be attached once that has been completed. Not all of the saboteurs are Rihannsu, they come from a variety of species, although the majority are.
RECOMMENDATION: Report to the Republic that the saboteurs were apprehended and put out of commission. Further information should be restricted depending on what the questioning provides.
OOC: Another report will be attached after the interrogation takes place.
This was a U.S.S. William Ockham mission. Thank you to all of those who attended and if I made any mistakes in my report, that is entirely on me and I'd be happy to correct them if you let me know.
