IC: Distress Call Received

November 23, 2428 Starfleet Headquarters has received a distress call from the Starship Enterprise while she was investigating an Attack on Betazed on the anniversary of the Dominion invasion. The ship has lost power following an accident involving its Coaxial Drive and has been set adrift in the Minos Korva Sector.

According to reports the starships Pegasus and Resolute have been dispatched to offer assistance to the Enterprise. The remainder of Battle Group Omega will continue their investigation into the attack and try to find the source under the leadership of the Starship Phoenix under Admiral Greg Coulson.

Efforts continue to rescue the survivors of the attack on Sentok Nor. The attack caused significant damage to the station; however, emergency teams dispatched from the Orville Wright were able to stabilize her orbit. Casualties have been light due to many of the station’s population being on the surface for the ceremony honoring the sacrifices of the Betazoids during the Dominion war. At this time the continued viability of the station is in question; however, Starfleet will be devoting all available resources to defend Betazed in the meantime and bring the perpetrator to justice.

Because of the attacks on Betazed, President Gruzy and the Federation Council met with the leadership of New Vulcan to place a temporary hold on the christening ceremony until early 2429. The Federation News Network will continue to monitor and report on this developing situation.
