## History

The Tahnna'Whanna System was first explored on Stardate 200612.04 by *USS Hine-Tu-Whenua* on a scientific mission to observe the Galactic Barrier.

On 201204.23, *USS L'Sek* was directed to perform a survey of the Tahnna'Whanna System with focus on the Class-M fourth planet. *USS L'Sek* completed it's mission on Stardate 201210.25 and returned to Federation space.

Over the next three years, Starfleet Command debated extending its communication and deep space exploration network. On Stardate 201509.21, construction of a Starfleet Outpost on Tahnna'Whanna IV was approved. On Stardate 201603.01. construction was begun on the outpost.

Captain Kaveh Arzie took command of Outpost Phoenix on Stardate 201609.29, just prior to it's commissioning.

On Stardate 201809.07, the crew discovered that an alien structure they had recovered and brought back to the Tahnna'Whanna System was, in fact, an Einstein-Rosen Bridge generator with it's terminus in the Maskawk.  36 hours later, the USS Lexington travelled through the device and encountered a star system within the Maskawk.  Shortly after arriving, a Starfleet IFF signal began transmitting to the Lexington.  The crew followed the signal, which led them to a heavily-damaged and derelict Springfield-Class starship.  Upon investigation, the crew of the Lexington discovered that the starship was the first USS Lothlorien.
