==Planning the Mission==

Significant mission planning was needed due to the scale of the disruption of the population on Beta Aquillia IV. Some fighting between loyalist and Veil military forces was underway, and Salid saw that the Rosenante would need to be ready to support refugees in addition to the operations to recover Federation personnel.

To those ends, plans were put underway to prepare refugee camps, where housing, basic nutritional needs, medical needs, and security could be secured. Uncertain of the number of potential refugees they could face, the Rosenante teams were ordered to rig the ship for maximum evacuation operations. 

Plans were being established to set up operational command centers on the [[planet]] for the purpose of coordinating all ground operations there. Ideally the primary center would be established at [[Atlantis Station]] which was owned and operated by a Federation citizen, [[Niambh McNulty]], as it was most centrally located and most easily defended.

In addition the fact that several freighters were captured by the Veil immediately after their coup and were subsequently being refit with weapons, created a military threat to the Rosenante, her crew and her mission. As such, a plan to neutralize those threats was developed, whereby the [[Klingon]] fighter, [[maQmIgh]] piloted by [[Lanista]] would deploy special [[nanite]]-based weapons programmed by newly commissioned [[Rank|Ensign]] [[Andrew Elliot Maddox]]. The purpose would be to launch the weaponized nanites against the freighters in an apparently unsuccessful attack. The nannies would then insinuate themselves into the communication and control systems of those ships allowing the Rosenante to eavesdrop on their communications and to neutralize critical systems should it be needed.

With little time and many preparations required, the crew began the complex task of preparing for disaster relief on a war torn world.
