U.S.S. Ganymede – September 28, 1998

Kris:
The U.S.S. Ganymede is to report to the Federation training outpost Benning for special operations training.

Kris:
Your senior officers will be trained to operate in two separate groups to overtake a small planet-based station. This special training is highly classified and may not be discussed outside of the training group.
