Romulan Surface

Data traces the Romulan subspace transmission—carrying coded sequence 1400—to this planetary surface, pinpointing it as the origin relayed to the Barolian vessel near Galorndon Core. Picard orders an immediate beam-down with Data to probe the site, tying the signal to Proconsul Neral's announcement and exposing Romulan intelligence maneuvers. The surface conceals covert operations fueling invasion fears, its alien terrain demanding direct Federation incursion amid fragile Klingon-Federation tensions.
