Re: State of Emergency

 

On advice from the diplomatic corps (with the exception of Ambassador Drankum), as of 2215 hours Sky Harbor Aegis is declaring a State of Emergency and martial law is in effect. Ambassador Drankum, on behalf of the Ferengi Government, makes claims that the UFP is in violation of the Treaty of Aegis and it is now null and void and has therefore demanded that all personnel vacate the station and that it be turned over to the Ferengi Government. Furthermore, the Ferengi Government has illegally surrounded the station with over 50 ships and has actively fired upon the station, thus endangering the lives of all personnel onboard.

 

Traffic to and from the station is hereby suspended and RED ALERT procedures are also in effect.

 

Communications with the Cardassian government has indicated they consider the actions of the Ferengi Government an invasion of their territory and an act of war. The Cardassian liaison, Kith Ghemor, is in contact with the Cardassian government and has stated that more information from the Cardassian Government will be forthcoming.

 

Sky Harbor Aegis is requesting military assistance in order to assure the continued safety of all personnel and also diplomatic assistance in addition to the corps on Aegis to help resolve this situation. Request this situation be assigned the highest priority and that a response be received with all due haste.

 

Respectfully,

Captain Muon Quark

Commanding Officer

Sky Harbor Aegis
