The upstart Insadran Illparanrek, the so-called Second Empire has committed the first act of aggression against the provisional government of Cardassia and against the Hebetian Democratic Government of Elim Garak with an explosive assualt on the formal Senate house on Cardassia Prime killing 4 members of the Cardassian Guard and killing Legate Gann Gloral, Fleet Commander for the Cardassian Guard.
The Insadran Illparanrek (Cardassian for Cloaked Terrorist), using the symbol II and calling for a Second Empire of Cardassia under the Cardassian Military and not the Hebetian Provisional Government of Elim Garak has been in hiding for months but appears now ready to make their presence known.
The Insadran Illparanrek may also be responsible for the kidnapping of Commander Thua'ra Varno, another Star Fleet Cardassian Officer from the Sigma Division Research Vessel, the USS Nova Horizon.
With the Union in such disarray, this may be a time for the coup to be gaining momentum. The USS / CGV Tanmesad continues to serve in a peacekeeping role on its mission, Cardassian Civil Conflict near the Cardassian (formerly Maquis) Badlands.
The Tanmesad has been unfairly linked to an attack on the CGV Ataraved near the Badlands and has dispatched its Chief Diplomatic Officer, Lt. Ashley Annoi to meet with the Cardassian Advisory Council on the homeworld.
The command staff of the USS / CGV Tanmesad offers its sincere condolences to the Cardassian Guard for the tragic loss of Legate Gloral.
