In an unexpected move the Cardassian Union pulled out all its ground forces and its fleet vacated the Trill home world system. It is reported that only the signs of battle have been left behind scarring a once beautiful world. Reports indicate that a number of cardassian ships experienced explosions aboard there vessels, again this is a mystery as to how this could happen but as the Cardassian Fleet left some of them were badly damaged. As the Trill defense initiative warped into the system and began securing the system the home world was once again claimed by the Trill Commonwealth. Commander Hunt was welcomed as a hero but was said to be devastated at the state of the trill home world, the cardassian had stripped it of all its structures save the bare essentials. Many are predicting this double edges blessing will set the Commonwealth back many years as they begin rebuilding and counting the cost in lives for defying the might of the Cardassian Union.
The Gorn intelligence division known as 'The Inspectorate' have managed to stop the release of a deadly virus upon one of the Gorn home systems. The virus is said to be not natural and tailored to affect Gorn physiology alone and while not deadly is apparently meant to slow down the Gorn metabolism, reducing them to shambling around and reducing there mobility to a fraction of there fearsome speed. Work by Gorn scientists have begun to unravel the secrets of this deadly man made plague and they hope that one day they will be able to find a cure in case it should get into the main stream population of the Hegemony.

Reports indicate the Klingons vessels are falling back in disarray before the might of two Vulcan cruisers and smaller supporting vessels. Just as all seemed lost a fleet of Gorn vessels lead by Crown prince xrathis himself warped into the system joining the fight against the Vulcan vessels much to both sides surprise. Coordinating tactics the combined Klingon and Gorn vessels broke through the Vulcan defenses and engaged the Cruisers directly and for some time the battle hung in the balance, then slowly ships began falling, Gorn and Klingon vessels drifted lifeless, smashed and venting plasma, the last of the light vulcan vessels joining them. A mighty explosion signaled the destruction of a Vulcan cruiser as the combined fleet swept over one of the Cruisers and the last remaining Gorn and Klingon vessel crippled and systems failing began there last run against the remaining Vulcan cruiser as fleeing was not an option against the long range firepower of the Surak Class Cruiser. Space chatter was exchanged between the the lone Gorn and Klingon vessels and they turned to face the monstrous Vulcan vessel full power to front shields. It is reported no shots were fired by either Gorn or Klingon vessel as they sped towards the listing Vulcan cruiser as they dodged incoming fire and shooting down photon torpedoes with the last remnants of energy in their disruptor banks... slammed into the Vulcan cruiser and were consumed in a cataclysmic explosion...
