 Captain's Log, Stardate 240009.26
 Captain Tebrun Lora Kor, Commanding, U.S.S. Coronado

 RECORDING.

 Coronado has been near what is recorded on our charts as the LT-634 system
 for twelve hours now.  We have been monitoring both this system and the
 nearby LT-635 system during this time, and to date, have not been interfered
 with.  Because both systems are now technically inhabited, I have taken the
 liberty of naming both.  Basing my names on Earth mythology, I have named
 the LT-634 system bearing the Orange Type 6 star and the first Traxati gate,
 "Wormwood."  The second system, LT-635, bearing the Red Type 3 star and the
 second Traxati gate, I have christened "Brimstone."  Neither system has
 planets, or in fact any object of mass greater than a few grams, other than
 the system's star and the gates.  Both names conjure up highly negative
 associations in Earth mytholgy, and as such, both names were both highly
 appropriate, and availble.  Nobody wanted to name their home system after
 the fires of Earth hell, apparently.

 The fires of anti-neutronium, still contained in our shuttlebay in a
 14-meter section of  Traxati probe conjure up images of nothing else to this
 officer than those fires of Hell.  As I said, the names are appropriate.

 During the past twelve hours, we have monitored three separate fleets of
 Traxati probes enter the gate in the Wormwood system.  All three fleets
 originated from the gates in the Brimstone system.  In addition, a fourth
 fleet of Traxati probes attacked the gate itself... this was a horrifying
 spectacle.  Neutronium needles, of course, have no effect on the neutronium
 material of the gate itself.  A few dents is all we monitored.

 However, neutronium has no trouble at all slicing through the objects
 attached to the gates, causing tremendous... well... injuries to those
 creatures clinging to the Wormwood gate.  In addition, we detected damage to
 the gravitic drives that the creatures clinging to the Wormwood gates are
 both preventing from operating, and apparently protecting.  The probes
 attacked for six minutes before we were given the shock of our lives...

 TO BE CONTINUED...
