Summary
The crew of the USS HERACLES succesfully completed the shakedown mission. We were orderd to investigate, and destroy if possible, a pirate base at Cacoon's border.
Marcus Lorenzo, Lt. O'Donnell's arch enemy escaped from Mars Penal colony. The base was discovered, cloaked from view with an ancient Klingon cloaking device, and hidden from our sensors by the intense electromagnetic and gravitational forces. Two shuttles were sent to investigate. They discovered the base, and were taken hostage.
They managed to overtake the pirates, which were discovered to be the Shadows. Marcus Lorenzo was recaptured, and is now in custody, along with thirteen other pirates that seeked refuge after the destruction of the base. They will be taken to SB OMEGA where they will be handled by the authorities.
Investigation of the the pirate base revealed a great amount of stolen data, including the partial retrieval of information regarding the Genesis device. It is unknown what data the Shadows still have.
The base was destroyed before any further information was retrieved.
