    Stardate 2435.1

    From: Starfleet Command            To: Captain M.McDonald, SS Gallant

    Starfleet Intelligence has discovered that the Xanton Empire has
    established three new bases in Quadrant 34G and several other
    disturbances have been noted in that vicinity, undoubtedly the work
    of the Xantons. Counter measures are under way, but Gallant is
    the closest starship to that quadrant. Your mission, Captain, is to
    begin the expulsion of the Xanton threat until Starfleet
    reinforcements arrive.

    Starbase 19 is nearby for resupply and repairs.

    Waypoints have been programmed into the Gallant's computer to aid
    navigation:

    1:     Starbase 19

    2:     Rogue asteroid, set on course for Alpha Eridani

    3,4,5: Xanton outposts

    6,7,8: Derelict Xanton cruisers, emitting lethal radiation


                            Good luck, Captain.
