Apollo returned to the Republic with the “first” shift. But unlike the rest of them he didn’t pack off to his quarters. Instead he went to Science Lab 3 to some work.

 

He sighed as he sat down in his chair. He felt that they should at least catalog all of the people they met in this future time-line; although that would be a violation of the temporal prime directive. That really didn’t matter now did it.

 

He brought up the blank cultural assessment forum and started to fill in the information. He had spent most of his time gathering information directly from the people and had been running various scans of the atmosphere, soil composition, and anything else he could get his hands on. These cultural assessments were tedious to do; but normally worth it.

 

After an hour or so he completed the assessment and looked over his work. He smiled pleased with it and sent it out to all Dept. Heads, the XOs and the Rear Admiral.

 

Then he sighed, and headed to his quarters to get a few hours sleep.

CUTURAL ASSESMENT—Rogresh

Lt. (Jg.) Apollo Link

Acting CSCI USS Republic

Stardate 0403.014

 

>Begin Report<

 

 

Race: Rogreshian

Home world: Rogresh

Race Classification: Humanoid

SD of Last Survey: First

 

Technological Level: 8

 

The Rogresh are a pre-warp civilization past industrial revolution, and are in period similar to earth circa 1970’s. It can be expected that their technological advancement well be at least temporarily impeded as they deal with the aftermath of the missile impact.

 

Socio-cultural Level: 5

 

The Rogresh are a patriarchal society with men filling most of the positions of government. The people of Rogresh are not yet a completely united people, the far Northern Continent ‘Teul’ and the Western Continent of ‘Diconte’ have yet to join the Planetary Alliance government which controls the rest of the planet’s population. Diconte and Teul, however, currently maintain peaceful relations with the Planetary Alliance.

 

The Rogresh are, with few exceptions, a polytheistic people. However, they do have a hierarchy of gods with the God Sony’ea and the Goddess Nintindus at the top. And unlike many relgions, they maintain that they are not alone in the galaxy, sighting a passage of ancient scripture claiming their ‘brothers’ the Xbocka were also allowed to live in the system. This is interesting because a humanoid culture inhabits the second planet in the system, Rexxar. Proof of any such relations, however, remains to be seen.

 

Additional Notes:

 

Rogresh is the fourth world in the ‘Republica’ system. It has one in habited moon. It is a Class-M world, similar to Earth in climate and is roughly the same size as Mars.

 

The planet was struck by several thermonuclear devices launched from neighboring Rexxar as a reaction to the accidental spotting of the USS REPUBLIC on Stardate 0402.03. It can be assumed that the planet will undergo significant changes in both their socioeconomic and cultural levels over the next few years.
