Hostilities At The Wormhole

We had two ships arrive at the Barzan Wormhole today. The first was a Yridian scout vessel that wanted to pass through to the Gamma Quadrant. We had to turn them away since we are merely securing the wormhole for Federation administration, and do not yet have the infrastructure or commercial policies in place to allow non-claim transit.

The second vessel was a Son’a combat vessel. They demanded the right to access the wormhole, and refused to accept both the Federation claim, and our need to turn ships away until Deep Space 5 arrives. They became hostile, and were forced away by a few of our fighter squadrons. I would not be surprised if they return with more ships. The Son’a homeworld is roughly ten light years from the Barzan System.

News of this stable wormhole is starting to inspire curiosity, and will likely lead to additional vessels seeking access to the distant Gamma Quadrant.
