NARRATIVE:
Task force consisting of IKS Daramar, USS Victory, USS Midway, USS San Francisco and USS Mycenae embarked from DS13 to as a response to Tzenkethi incursions into allied space. First location was 5597-Herschelli system, where we detected two Tzenkethi squadrons hiding within an asteroid belt. Tzenkethi turned hostile as soon as they detected our presence and were swiftly dispatched.
USS San Francisco received a distress call from a mining operation in Psi Tromi II system. As we arrived at the mining station, we had to fend off two Tzenkethi squadrons who were trying to destroy the station and the mine on the nearby L-class planet. As the enemy was forced to retreat, squadron sent a sizeable ground force to evacuate surviving miners on the ground. Evacuation was executed without any casualties, however, the orbital station was overrun by Drantzuli (who hatched from the mined minerals) and was destroyed.
After securing all the survivors from the station, we tracked the main Tzenkethi forces to Chi Hadir VI, a neutrals system with and M-class planet. As we arrived, main Tzenkethi force has already left. After taking down two Tzenkethi squadrons, we tracked the main Tzenkethi force heading to Bajor. During our travel USS Midway changed course to DS13 as they sustained heavy damage. Rest of the task force arrived at Bajor, only to see that the Alliance and remaining Tzenkethi ships were fighting swarms of ships that were identified as Hur'q vessels.
Fight was fierce and casualties were mounting (including Deep Space Nine station which was completely cripped at this point), until Dominion fleet arrived and assisted us in driving the Hur'q vessels off.
RECOMMENDATION:
Re-emergence of Hur'q and subsequent Dominion involvement point to a new developments in the Gamma Quadrant, which should be investigated by the Alliance command. All available data on the Hur'q and their servitors (Drantzuli, Fel'khri and other) should be compiled and disseminated to the allies.
