The sun glinted off of the star ships freshly cleaned hull, the planets space telescopes picked up its arrival and transmitted around the planet. There was a general feeling of elation amongst the population that they had been rediscovered, for years they had believed themselves the only survivors in the universe.
Aboard the ship a group of uniformed explorers prepared to beam down to the planets surface, it was their first mission and they were all apprehensive. All except their leader a lazy grin was fixed to his face he motioned for the others to join him on the transporter pad, within moments a series of blue lights appeared as the explorers disappeared.
On the planets surface the president of the colonies stepped forward to greet the new commers in the name of peace and prosperity. He never got the chance the leader of the arrivals stepped forward and raised a phaser in one fluid movement he shot and dissintegrated him.
“We are from the Federation” He shouted loudly as brandished the weapon “This planet is now under Federation rule”
As if to punctuate the point the ship in orbit opened fire, raining death down over half the planet. Laughing Master Chief Petty Officer Jeffery Jefferson holstered his weapons.
“Take what you want boys” He motioned with his empty hand for the rest of his team to move on.
High in orbit the ship rotated slowly finally showing the name that was shown to the people below.
USS Ronald Reagan
