The Summerside Report: Ninth House, Second Chance – Stardate 240001.23
When someone killed her family, Vaxa Ral was in exile. The legal heir to the Ninth House of Betazed – stripped of her home by her vindictive and manipulative parents and removed of her rights by the combined might of six other Houses – could do nothing but watch from afar as Dominion-led attacks destroyed her family home, along with all who dwelled there.

Andorians continue walking on thin ice as geothermal energy restrictions begin – Stardate 240001.25

Attempts to shield the moon from further warming included significant shielding of the surface from solar rays, and researchers are falling back on more intrusive methods.
