ADDENDUM
With matters of diplomacy largely covered by the officers of the UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS, the tactical situation of this species should be addressed.
The vessel encountered by the involved officers was woefully outdated. Indeed, many of the systems analyzed are comparable to vessels utilized prior to the Earth-Romulan War. That is concerning for one singular reason:
The species possesses powerful telepathic acumen that seems to span entire lightyears of distance. Considering Nausicaan pirates were troubling this species’ vessel, knowledge of this species is likely to become more common as time progresses. Species of this nature have historically been exploited by hostile parties such as the Regime on Rator III. That exploitation could endanger citizens of this alien civilization, our allies in the Federation, and citizens of the Republic.
Once official channels between the this species are established for the ROMULAN REPUBLIC and UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS; the RRF (insofar as resources can be spared) should provide protection to these efforts. Further, channels of communication should be carefully monitored to identify hostile parties exploiting this situation.
