ADDENDUM This addendum serves to catalog the findings of the U.S.S. Cassini’s long range sensor sweep in the aftermath of the above incident, in an attempt to fulfill the original mission parameters of probing for and locating anything of note across Tholian space. Preliminary scans revealed an anomaly in the Janus sector, on the far side of Tholian space. At first, the anomaly presented as a dip in activity surrounded by evenly distributed activity. Initial assessments stated that the lack of signatures could potentially be a large black hole.

Officers on the bridge at the time then attempted to confirm this hypothesis by cross-referencing older star charts to analyze the movement of stars around the area, in an attempt to discern a pattern that would be consistent with the presence of a black hole. Additionally, officers conducted readings for plasma flares, scanned the next sector, and accessed Nukara Task Force databases to check for anything related to the Janus Sector.

While follow-on scans could not confirm nor deny the presence of a black hole, it did confirm that there was not a single Tholian vessel in the Janus Sector, with captured knowledge by the Nukara Task Force revealing that there was a parsec-radius exclusion zone put in place by the Tholians since the late 2200s.

Future courses of action: Orient the Amargosa Subspace Telescope Array to the Janus Sector, or train optical sensors on the Janus Sector from any position 150 light-years away. For the time being, there is no confirmation of what lies in the Janus Sector.
