First Report

Ship's Log; 139th day on assignment:

My ship has been patrolling the edge of the Neutral Zone for several months now, guarding against activity from the Federation. Operatives and long range scans of Federation space for the past year have seen a marked increase in fleet deployments and apparent disappearances. Additionally, many operatives that had been thought safe in their new identities have gone silent. The soldier in me screams that this is a prelude to invasion. Is Starfleet massing somewhere, unseen, ready for another war? To the best of anyone's knowledge, Starfleet still has not discovered a means of penetrating the cloaking devices installed on most of the ships in the Imperial fleet. That will continue to give us the tactical advantage we need if this is the case.

On another note, sensors have detected a large object undetermined mass, origin or exact dimensions on course for the Neutral Zone at low warp speed. I have given orders that myself and the nearest vessel converge on the point on our side of the Zone where this unidentified mass will intrude. If it is a ship, we will likely have to destroy it.
