Excerpt from the SF Command-level Newsfeed:

 

Atragon-9 returned to Command status

Admiral Atragon-9, former commander of the USS Stargazer and USS Manticore, has emerged from an 8-month review of his command conduct and the Federation Council has returned command status to him. He does not currently have a new assignment and is spending a LOA with his wife, Commander Jami Farrington, on Earth. Further details have been secured and are not publicly available.

 

USS Exeter listed as missing

The USS Exeter, a Cheyenne-class science vessel, has gone three week past its routine check-in mark. They were examining the 9th planet in the Tanemo star system when they made their last report. The fleet will be sending a ship to investigate. Further details can be found at document 399236270/0811

 

NCC-5852 to be eliminated

The USS Manticore, NCC-5852, has been rated as unspaceworthy and will be destroyed. The shipyard crew at SB1 have completed placing the shaped charges and the elimination will proceed within the week. There is no word on why this Rescue and Retrieval vessel is not simply being broken down into components and reused. Further details can be found at document 498734118/0818

 

 

Secureflash to Admiralty-level clearance:

 

USS Exeter crew member does not survive emergency surgery

The crew member, Lt. Harris Snelling, from the USS Exeter lifepod that was found on the outskirts of the Tanemo system has died. Lt. Snelling's lifepod was found just as its systems were failing and Mr. Snelling was suffering massive internal injuries from blunt trauma and external wounds that conform to those made by the Klingon "painstick." He was never conscious to provide any explanations for this situation and the attempts to stabilize his condition at Starfleet Medical were unsuccessful. An autopsy and detailed brainscan has been ordered. Ships near the Tanemo system are on high alert, but have been told to not approach and not engage.
