Hehe. As we all do.

Traders, prospectors, governors, and explorers have in the last few days been
mulling over the meaning of a strange transmission that gives the only clue
to the end of the independent prospecting ship James Urqhardt. That ship
vanished somewhere in Delta Quadrant, along the galactic rim, with barely a
signal to mark its passing, and no known survivors to tell its tale. James
Urqhardt is not the first ship to vanish in the general vicinity of (-3,7)
but it is the first to give any indication of its fate.
However, despite what appears to all accounts as an active and efficient
attempt to block transmissions from the prospector, a few grainy images have
made it back to the more populous regions of the Galaxy. They hint at some
kind of large military force or empire existing somewhere on the Rim, and one
that does not take kindly to trespassing miners at any rate.
The clearest of the images returned is shown here.

Who these ships--estimated to be “really big” by definitively Scientific™
methods--belong to, and what their purpose is in the Galaxy is unknown.
Likewise, the range and extent of their peregrinations is also uncertain,
although no suspicious disappearances beyond normal levels have taken place
outside (-3,7), and therefore extreme caution must be urged to any free agent
entering that region.
More information will be provided as the news reaches us.

REPLY FROM USC CIVILIAN DEPARTMENT, ARBOR 9, ARBOR SECTOR
FROM: HIGH TEMPLAR FIONA PLAT
REGARDING: POSSIBLE HOSTILES
USC Intel has been scanning this area since this message has been recieved.
However, Intel has not been able to recieve anything, not even a signal. USC
forces have been activated along the borders of each of our sectors. Shall
these forces try to attack, the Genocide Fleet will be called in.
REPLY FROM USC INTEL, SARACEN STATION, MARMA SECTOR
FROM: STRATÈGE ANDREW GATES, USC INTEL LEADER
REGARDING: INTEL OF POSSIBLE HOSTILES
As the High Templar has stated, USC Intel has tried to scan this area, but scans
came up negative. We were not even able to recieve any image of this area, thus
there must be some kind of blocking device. I have prepared some agents to
travel there, but they are undergoing naval training at this time. The USC will
work with the governments of the region surrounding (-3,7) to become more aware
of this possible threat. Intel, out.
