The USS Lenora has altered course toward Veridan III following the detection of a Starfleet distress signal originating somewhere on the planet’s northern hemisphere. Initial analysis indicates the transmission protocol is over eighty years old, predating several modern encryption standards, yet the authentication signatures remain consistent with archived Starfleet emergency beacons.

Long-range scans show intermittent power fluctuations near a mountainous region bordering vast wheat-colored plains beneath the system’s twin moons. Atmospheric conditions are stable, though unusual magnetic interference is preventing a precise lock on the source of the signal.

What troubles me is not merely the age of the transmission… but the fact that it only began repeating three days ago.

No Starfleet vessel has officially reported operations in the Veridan sector for decades.

An away team is being assembled now. Until we know more, yellow alert remains in effect.
