Personal Log Stardate 58291.98. We have been met by a friendly contingent of the Dominion who have wished us luck on our journey and are now set to begin our preliminary scans of the Rakahr System. We are due to be in orbit of the M-Class Planet Rhakar in just under an hour. It has been some time since contact with the planet has been made and we hope to be able to start forming some sort of diplomatic relationship since the planet is no longer subject to the oppression that was the old Dominion. We are hoping that Rakhar may be open to receiving federation citizens and to allow us to have our first planetary envoy in this sector.
