FROM: JAMES DAVIS, EXECUTIVE OFFICER, STARBASE 146
SUBJ: INCIDENT REPORT REPORT 20160701-01
CC: FLEET COMMANDER, 146TH FLEET; COMMANDER, STARBASE 146; COMMANDER, DEEP SPACE NINE
1) On today's date, the Terran Empire vessel I.S.S. Rommel approached Starbase 146 and stated intentions to defect.
2) Starbase 146 was placed on Red Alert and mobilized all available ships to respond to this situation.
3) Communication was established with Terran Commander Stevenson [No first name given], who was ordered to power down weapons and stand by for instructions. CMDR Stevenson complied.
4) After a risk assesment was conducted, it was determined to send an away team via shuttle to negotiate with CMDR Stevenson.
5) During negotiations, Terran crewmen engaged the shuttle and its occupants, killing CMDR Stevenson. The shuttle was ordered to withdraw, and came under fire during its retreat. All Starfleet vessels were ordered to engage the I.S.S. Rommel.
6) The I.S.S. Rommel attempted to ram Starbase 146, and was destroyed in the process.
7) The away team returned successfully, and managed to recover a PADD containing the current communications codes for the Terran Empire forces in the area.
8) It is likely that CMDR Stevenson's request for defection was genuine, however members of his crew were opposed, leading to a mutiny onboard the I.S.S. Rommel.
9) The communications codes retrieved by the away team have been given to Fleet Intelligence for analysis.
10) The investigation is ongoing, however I do not believe that any further information will be able to be obtained. Wreckage from the I.S.S. Rommel is being collected and will be sent to Starfleet Corps of Engineers on the next available secure transport.
