The away team was also able to obtain DNA samples of the orange-skinned humanoids, a race within the Fardon Empire calling itself the 'An'oke.' Moreover, Mr. Rocker was unmasked as a chameleonoid mole planted by the Fardons in the Federation Diplomatic Corps. This matter was referred to SFSECIS (Star Fleet Security & Investigative Services) for a full-blown investigation. | The away team was also able to obtain DNA samples of the orange-skinned humanoids, a race within the Fardon Empire calling itself the 'An'oke.'

In late 2409, the USS Resolution was dispatched to follow-up intelligence reports of a hidden Fardon base in a mature star cluster well within GOLD Fleet's former patrol zones (currently assigned to GREEN). Between sketchy reports from various OSFI assets and claims made by pirates arrested by the SIGMA Patrol Squadron (PATRON-74), there was reason to believe that the Fardons were constructing a hidden base. | |||
That intelligence was corraborated when the USS Panache, a PATRON-74 Wolfe-class vessel on patrol, spotted a superfreighter which they were able to identify as a Fardon vessel from engine signatures. This vessel eluded the Panache and escaped using superior Fardon stealth technology. | That intelligence was corraborated when the USS Panache, a PATRON-74 Wolfe-class vessel on patrol, spotted a superfreighter which they were able to identify as a Fardon vessel from engine signatures.

The USS Resolution proceeded under the guise of a scientific mapping mission, exploring several possible systems. Intelligence from the Resolution's mission suggests a probable location for Fardon space deep within the Beta quadrant. Over the course of the following year, SECIS made several arrests of suspected Fardon agents, most of them chamelenoid, and was able to get one to talk. That prisoner's testimony substantiated what the Resolution had learned. | The USS Resolution proceeded under the guise of a scientific mapping mission, exploring several possible systems.

Several missions were dispatched to find the suspected bases; no more were found. It was as if the Fardons had disappeared for more than two years. In early 2412, USS Ikar, a Tsyklon-class scout was studying gravitic anomalies on the near edge of the Scutum Rift. Without warning six Fardon corvettes attacked and destroyed Ikar with the loss of all hands. The attacking vessels used gravitic propulsion exclusively, gravitic weapons of an unknown design and had armored, spiked hulls made of a substance called kirellium. Stafleet dispatched USS Quasar to the scene; her squadron spent about a year looking for evidence of the Fardons in the area and found nothing. | |||
Some analysts suspect that the recent destruction of the USS Chang Zheng might also be the work of the Fardons. USS Circe found a kirellium-hulled shuttlecraft on Karbella II in the Orestes Sector and traces of kirellium have also been found on Frika, a planet outside Federation space and not far from the Gorn and Romulan borders near DS13. | |||
