Captain's Log - Stardate 2262.669

I've been given additional details on the Ambassador we'll be transporting to Imperial Headquarters. He is a Cardassian named is Legate Hamon Merovl - I'm told Legate is a rank similar to our Admirals. While I heard of Cardassians during our talks with the Klingons, this will be the first time I've seen one face to face.

According to Commander Paris, our orders have us taking Legate Merovl and his entourage of ten to met with the Emperor. Rumor is that they want the Emperor to formally recognize the Cardassian Empire.
