FIRST CONTACT MISSION: Lumas III
Starfleet's First Contact Office is asking Fleet Daedalus Omega to send 1 to 2 Starships to the Delta Volanis Cluster and supervise a First Contact situation with the inhabitants of the planet, Lumas III. Lumas III will be launching their first Warp-Capable spacecraft on Sunday August 22nd.
Starfleet Command has placed this mission as a high priority. The Federation must be the first government to introduce the Lumasicans to the wider galactic community.
MISSION INTEL:
Alien races believed to be on the brink of developing advanced technologies are often observed by Federation specialists in order to better understand the cultures in advance of first contact. These observations are conducted by nearby bases in system, from duck blind posts or by placing surgically-altered observers within the local population.
Lumas System:
8 planets orbiting a middle aged Yellow star.
Sentient Life: 1. Lumasicans
Lumas III:
Lumas III is a Class-M world with 2 orbiting moons.
Orbit: 12,206 km
Atmosphere: Nitrogen, oxygen, argon
Surface: Temperate Climate with 3 continents of various size. Planet's surface is covered by 68% water.
Lumasicans:
The Lumasicans are a humanoid species native to the planet Lumas III. They are on the verge of initiating their first Warp Flight. The Federation has been studying the Lumasicans for 11 years in secret.
(( I will be needing at least one other DGM to help with this mission... possibly a second too.
Only 2 Starships are to be sent on this mission, MAX. Would prefer for only one starship with her Captain and another Fleet Member along for the ride to participate. This is a non-combat RP Event... first of many I hope.))

Physiology
Lumasicans are descended from an Avian/Reptile creature known on their world as a "Jomas".
They have 2 hearts and 3 livers located in their lower abdominal region.
Lumasicans have very strong muscles in their lower extremities. Lumasicans frequently jump from place to place and can reach heights of excess of 30 meters.
History
The Lumasican's history follows very much the same path as Earth's with long periods of war followed by more peaceful times and scientific advancement.
The first Democratic Nation-State on Lumas III was founded 274 years ago on the southern most continent, it is called "Goran". After that, several of their other Nation-States soon followed suit. Goran is still the most powerful Nation-State with a sizable military force and the most developed industry and economy. Goran has paved the way for many of Lumas III many scientific discoveries over the past 200 years. Goran's chief rival is the nation of Krin located on the Western most continent.
Politics
Lumas III is governed by a Planetary League of Nations, consisting of several independent Nation-States allied for the common good. The League is led by an elected President selected from each of it's member nations. The current League President is Hidan Passi of Goran who is also the President of Goran itself.
Next in line of government, is a series of ministers assigned to different divisions of government. A Minister for Internal Security is assigned with all planetary security measures, including those presented by external forces. The current Minister of Internal Security is Minister Povat Lopan of Krin.
Tensions run high in the League Council as Krin officials accuse the Goran government of corruption and "fixing" the elections so a Goran is always elected leader of the League.
Military
The nation of Goran fields the largest military force of all Lumas III's Nation-States. They have millions of soldiers and ground-based forces. Goran also fields a small Space Program and several orbital defense satellites. Goran has the most advanced Aerospace force by far with several different types of advanced fighter craft.
The Krin military consists more of "less advanced" weapon systems and heavily depends on ground combat. Krin Soldiers are highly adept Hand-To-Hand fighters and expert marksmen. All Krin males are trained from birth to fight and serve in their nation's military. Krin males are forced to enlist and serve 6 years once they hit puberty. Krin is Lumas III's only nation with nuclear weapons. Using them in the last war 68 years ago to gain their independence from Goran.
