<p>Captain's Defense Log, <br>
</p>
<p>the destroyer <i>Electra</i>.<br>
</p>
<p> Feb, Y175.</p>
<p>These Magnesium Nanotubes are taking forever to transship. We've
had to go perilously close to the Vudar border, which is probably
why the whole squadron was assigned as escort duty. It's odd that
the Vudar haven't attacked us except against minor, unprotected
targets. I hear they don't have much for heavy units, so would
like an opportunity the tighten up the crew's training with a
raid. <br>
</p>
<p>The <i>Lesath</i> caught up with us last week. They brought news
of the <i>Farud</i> squadron. They processed a group of refugees
that claimed to have come from a colony that was attacked by the
Andromedans. So far the Andromedans haven't been very bold in
Tholian space, thank the almighty.</p>
<p>There is still a constant back-and-forth with our Klingon
neighbors. Last month we were able to see an important colony of
theirs get destroyed by a Space Eel. Their retaliatory strike was
against an undefended mining planet. I wonder what the Holdfast
will have us do, when it is our turn on the Klingon border?</p>
