Commendation Recommendation Brief

Review Officer: Cmdr. T’Vel Avaris
Division: Starfleet Operations Command, Liaison Office
Subject: Mission Debrief – S01E06 “Storming the Castle”
Ship: USS Rhea NCC-80111
Mission Stardate: 81334.9–81335.2

Following full review of mission logs, field performance, and supporting telemetry, the following commendation recommendations are submitted for record and evaluation:

1. Lt. JG Berza Vanel – Commendation for Analytical Excellence

Classification: High-Difficulty Data Operations (D3, C3)
Citation:
Lt. JG Berza Vanel demonstrated exceptional resilience and cognitive adaptability in isolating and neutralizing false telemetry injected via Romulan data corruption protocols. Working in tandem with Lt. Aze, Berza contributed significantly to the recovery of vital intelligence during a time-critical analysis window. The Romulan interference strategy relied heavily on high-frequency signal injection, masking true data with plausible decoys—a method designed to paralyze rapid field assessment. Berza’s discernment, combined with cooperative algorithmic filtering and pattern inversion, ensured the success of the operation.
Recommendation: Commendation for Excellence in Data Analysis (Joint Recommendation with Lt. Aze for Assist Support).

2. Lt. Cmdr Shris Sosalis – Commendation for Exemplary Leadership in Combat

Classification: Command Presence / Tactical Field Command
Citation:
Lt. Cmdr Shris Sosalis displayed superior command ethos by taking personal point during an active field assault on a fortified Romulan outpost. Disregarding personal risk, Sosalis led the charge through a mine-saturated kill zone, initiating the wall breach phase while under direct fire. The decisive neutralization of an elevated guard during ascent—via close-quarters engagement—was executed without compromise to the broader mission timetable. His leadership ensured momentum and morale remained intact during a moment of maximum vulnerability.
Recommendation: Commendation for Leadership in Forward Engagement and Field Valor.

3. Lt. JG Lon Taril – Commendation for Diplomatic Outreach and Strategic Infrastructure Facilitation

Classification: “Heart of Starfleet” – Federation Values in Action
Citation:
While assigned to logistical rear operations, Lt. JG Lon Taril took initiative in stabilizing local civilian operations on Lucifer’s Ring. Through strategic persuasion, he successfully negotiated long-term investment from a local Ferengi entrepreneur, securing commitments in essential infrastructure: water systems, energy flow networks, and subspace communication relays. This act of diplomacy was neither assigned nor expected, yet it exemplified the Federation’s core ideals—fostering peace, stability, and cooperation through non-coercive means. The outcome will provide both immediate benefit to Starfleet’s operational footprint and long-term trust capital with the region’s stakeholders.
Recommendation: “Heart of Starfleet” Commendation for Civilian Engagement and Federation Advocacy.
