NARRATIVE A review of documents relevant to the investigation have been obtained, reviewed, and outlined below.

A-001

A-001 • After Action Report - Gartan II

---

After action report filed by the officer in overall command of the mission. Local, pre-warp species had been under observation prior to 38th Fleet forces. Also prior to their arrival, a probe from this research team impacted a satellite in orbit, causing several dozen casualties.

Contact with the FCO on the planet informed us that a thruster malfunction on one of the Federation’s probes in orbit had caused the probe to collide with a Gartan satellite; debris from the probe and shuttle had re-entered orbit and caused fifty Gartan fatalities.

The native species were able to ascertain alien origin of debris and claimed they were under attack by alien invaders. From this point, the focus of the mission shifted to recovering Federation personnel on the ground.

A-002

A-002 • Admiralty Office Report - Restricted

---

Internal report authored by LCDR Valore. The report was requested by the admiralty to aid in their decision making process, and was quite thorough. This report was also the first indication of a violation of General Order Two.

Following argumentation by the civilian observers, Captain Mirazuni proceeded to threaten them with sedative gas. This is a particular detail that some personnel seem to have selective memory over, and vague probative questions were required to elicit information from some personnel.

As mentioned above, these details are omitted in the original AAR. Due to the lack or official reports from other officers, these details would likely have been missed if not for LCDR Valore’s investigation.

A-003

A-003 • Ship Logs - USS Endeavour

---

Security logs from the USS Endeavour provide critical context to the reports above. There are several conflicting pieces of information regarding the unity of the bridge crew and visiting officers. Ship logs show little, if any, opposition to plans proposed by CAPT Mirazuni. There appears to be a general sense of confusion among the junior officers. The situation is changing rapidly and information is sparse.

Also highlighted is the interaction between Starfleet personnel and civilian researchers. Interactions are minimal, and the civilians appear agitated during critical decision loops for Starfleet personnel.

RECOMMENDATION Following review of the above documents, investigating officer plans to schedule a deposition with Captain Mirazuni.
