Captain's log - Stardate 2261.479
We've entered orbit around the planet. It's huge, far larger than Jupiter with close to a 105,000 kilometer radius. As far as the metal and mineral content is concerned, the long range scans underestimated the wealth to be found here. Spock even believes the sheer amount of metals is preventing us from know that full extent of what lies beneath the surface.
The surface is inhospitable, but scans indicate a large number of underground caverns. We'll send down a geological team in self-contained gear to do the initial surveylance.
