Log Entries[]

• Captain's Log, Stardate 43201.8.

  We have reached Cassiopeia Delta Seven-- Also known as Serafin's Planet-- After receiving a distress call from the planet's Federation colony.
  The Cause of the distress call us painfully obvious now. Internal stresses are tearing this world apart, creating all manner of natural disasters on its surface.
  It is remarkable that there are any survivors among the colonists, given the advanced state of the planet's self-destruction. But perhaps I should not be surprised...
  After all, this is a most unusual colony.
