==Strange New Worlds==

While the away teams were conducting geochemical and climactic studies on the surface of the [[Rogue Planet]], the stellar Cartography teams aboard the [[USS Rosenante]] were conducting studies and surveys of their own.

They had mapped out the rough trajectory of the rogue planet and had determined that it would pass through a [[Binary stars|Binary star system]] within [[Sector 6309]].

This system appeared to have a single planet orbiting it. That planet appeared to be inhabited. It appeared that the planet's inhabitants, the [[Asrai]], were at a technological stage of development that was similar to the pre-industrial age of [[Earth]]. However, refinement of the trajectory data for the rogue planet indicated that the rogue would significantly disrupt the orbit of the [[planet]], [[Asrai Prime]]. Due to their apparent technological development, the planet fell firmly into the confines of the [[Prime Directive]]. Unless the crew of the Rosenante could prove that the Asrai were already aware of life beyond their world, that they possessed advanced technology akin to warp drive, or that the rogue planet had been purposely deflected on this destructive path through artificial means, the crew would be forced to watch as the planet, and all it's inhabitants were destroyed.

[[Rank|Captain]] [[Ahmed Ibn Salid|Salid]] asked for volunteers to lead an away mission to [[Asrai Prime]] with the hopes of collecting evidence that the [[Prime Directive]] did not apply, and that the Rosenante could therefore intervene. A good many of the ship's senior company joined the away team. They were [[Ahmed Ibn Salid]], [[Ben Soma]]. [[Sanok]], [[Viskhard]], [[Steven Wade Matrix]], [[Eian O'Neill]], [[Jessica Signos]], [[Jennifer Caskie]], [[Mike Rosenbauer]], [[Tayla Fraiser]], [[Parker Davis]], and [[David Michael Tamblyn]].

The Rosenante, under the command of [[T'Larah Sullivan]] and [[Chance Raschen]] would continue to conduct studies of the Rogue planet in the hopes of uncovering some useful information about the small planetoid.
