Captain Michaels;

 

Upon reviewing your latest reports and utilizing the full services of the Starfleet Intelligence community, we have confirmed a change in government on the Mji Homeworld.  At this time, information is not as reliable as we would like. However, it appears the sickness effecting the Mji has shown signs of spreading amongst their population. This was previously thought to be impossible.

 

Apparently, the spreading of this virus has caused mass panic amongst the general population. Given what many saw as a lack of action by the Mji government, the military terminated all support and led a civilian initiated cue. The nature of this change in power is still not known, nor is it even known who is actually in charge of the government. However, it appears at least 80% of their military has remained unified and organized.

 

Though the Mji are not a large power, they were one of the primary governments the Romulans traded with before they pulled out of this sector of space. Last reports indicated a small fleet of perhaps twenty ships protecting four starsystems. Their technological level is not the highest, but they are a proud people. It had been hoped your mission would forge the beginnings of solid diplomatic relations with these people.

 

At this moment, we believe the three vessels you have encountered at Freedom Station are acting with the permission of what might be the Mji provisional government. What has surprised our intelligence experts is the reaction of the Poy. We do not know much about this planet or it's people. The Romulans have said they seemed to hold the opinion their alliance with the Mji was the first step in an attempt to conquer their world. One can only imagine what made them come to this conclusion since the Romulans aren't giving too many specifics.

 

You are ordered to proceed with extreme caution. All of the facts about this situation seem to be clouded by decades of distrust. The fact the Poy were even willing to assist the Mji was seen as a major diplomatic breakthrough. See what can be done to stabilize the situation and allow this to still take place.
