Starfleet Directive 012

Subject: Minimum Necessary Force

To: All Starfleet Personnel

In situations where Starfleet personnel are engaged in combat with an unknown alien species, it is the policy of the United Federation of Planets to use minimum necessary force to resolve the situation.

All Starfleet personnel are to adhere to the following procedures:

1. Use all available means of communication, including universal translators and diplomatic protocols, to establish a dialogue and avoid misunderstandings.
2. Use non-lethal means of force, such as stun settings and forcefields, whenever possible.
3. Only use lethal force as a last resort, when all attempts at peaceful resolution and non-lethal force have failed and there is a clear and immediate threat to the safety of Starfleet personnel or assets.
4. After any conflict, Starfleet personnel are to make all attempts to initiate dialogue and seek peaceful resolution with the alien species.

Failure to adhere to these procedures will result in disciplinary action, up to and including court-martial proceedings.

Rank

In military and civilian service organizations of many intelligent cultures, **rank** (sometimes denoted by rank insignia on uniforms) is how the jobs of different personnel are organized in a hierarchy of authority.

## Military ranks

In the history of several humanoid cultures, ranks have been used in naval organizations and other fighting forces. The ranking systems of Starfleet strongly resembles the United States military of the 21st century with some of the rank pips and badges successors to United States military ranks. Other cultures have a variety of different titles and ranks, based on different languages and social characteristics.

* Praetor (Romulan Star Empire / Romulan Republic)
* Prefect
* President
* Prince
* Proconsul
* Queen

* Pri'Nam
* Ranjen (Bajor)
* Vedek (Bajor)
Chief operations officer

The **Chief Operations Officer** had the primary responsibility of ensuring that ship functioned, such as the use of the lateral sensor array, do not interfere with one and another. They must prioritize resource allocations, so that the most critical activities could have every chance of success. If so required, they could curtail shipboard functions if they thinks they will interfere with the ship's current mission or routine operations. The Chief Operations Officer oversaw the Operations department, and was a member of the senior staff aboard a starship.
Yeoman

**Yeoman** was a Starfleet title used during the 23rd century. They functioned as personal assistants, performing various tasks, such as carrying a Starfleet tricorder and retrieving information for a starship's captain, announcing one's arrival with a boatswain's whistle, or bringing them meals. Throughout the 2260s and 2270s, yeomen were typically – but not exclusively – young women; there were also male yeomen during the 2250s and the 2290s.

Some yeomen, such as Janice Rand, were enlisted personnel during their time in this position. There were different rates of yeoman, all the way down to "third class." Seventeen-year-old Tina Lawton carried this rate in 2266.

Yeomen could also have held the rank of a junior officer, as seen with a yeoman assigned to the USS *Enterprise*-A, who wore an officer's uniform with the rank of lieutenant junior grade.
Flight controller

The **flight controller** (also referred to as **conn**) is a crewperson serving aboard a Federation starship and is assigned the duty of piloting the vessel. During the 23rd century, the flight controllers were referred to as helmsmen. Some of the duties assigned to 24th century flight controllers had formerly been performed by navigators.

Faerani

## Physical characteristics

The Faerani are a humanoid species known for their unique physical attributes. They have a slender build and an average height of 5'8". Their skin has a faint iridescent sheen, resembling the delicate shimmer of butterfly wings. Their hair is typically dark brown or black, and they often style it in intricate braids or patterns. Faerani have normal-sized eyes, but their irises have the remarkable ability to change color depending on their emotions, which adds to their expressive nature. While pre-pubescent Faerani are unable to control their emotions, often experiencing unregulated emotions, as they undergo their equivalent of puberty, a'lethis, they gain control over their emotions and unlock the ability to change the color of their irises, ability to manipulate energy, and the ability to use their empathic and telepathic abilities.

### Abilities

Faerani possess a natural affinity for energy manipulation, allowing them to channel and control various forms of energy, such as electricity, heat, and light. They can use this ability for a variety of purposes, including offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as powering technological devices. Faerani are also known for their acute senses, particularly their enhanced hearing and perception, which make them adept at detecting subtle changes in their environment. Furthermore, Faerani also have the unique ability to control the color of their irises which fluctuate depending on their emotions. They also have telepathic abilities, which requires contact with an individual, although they are more skilled at empathy.

### Limitations on power

In their history, the Faerani often fought vicious wars using their energy manipulation, telepathy, and empathy in a weaponized fashion. When the great peace maker, known to the Faerani as the Almighty One, create peace on Faerani, he imposed certain regulations governing their powers.

## Society and culture

The Faerani culture is deeply rooted in their connection with energy and nature. They have a strong bond with their home planet, which is rich in energy reserves and natural wonders. Faerani society is organized around communal living, with a deep respect for the environment and the balance of energy within it. They value creativity, innovation, and self-expression, and their society encourages artistic pursuits and technological advancements. The Faerani royal family holds a significant role in their society, with the Princess serving as a respected and revered figurehead.

## Notes

It is rumored that the Kwejian peoples are decedents of the Faerani.
Vanguard Command

**Vanguard Command** is a unit which operates under Starfleet Command. It was created in early 2412 with the launch of the USS *Musashi*, USS *Cabot*, and the USS *Patchouli*.

Unlike sector commands, Vanguard Command had three Starfleet task forces, a brigade of Starfleet marines, and a wing of aerospace forces, under its command.

These task forces were named after the *Yorktown*-class starship that served as it's flagship. Task Force Cabot, Task Force Musashi, and Task Force Patchouli.

Assault Group

An **assault group** was a unit used by the Khitomer Alliance to indicate a group of assault cruisers Like any group, an assault group was commanded by a senior captain.

## Sub-units

An assault group was composed of three (3) assault squadrons and one carrier. As such it had a total of thirteen starships (four per each assault squadron).

* Assault Squadron

Dreadnought

The term **dreadnought** is a starship classification that is applied to describe a type of starship that is usually built solely for combat, with the best weapons and the strongest defenses. Starfleet's first dreadnoughts, the *Federation*-class, were developed in the 2250s and 2260s in response to the growing Klingon threat. The Klingons themselves developed many dreadnoughts in response.

## History

During raids by multiple parties on a Borg Collective unimatrix for reassimilation, three dreadnoughts engaged one another: a Borg octhedron controlled by the Borg Queen, a Voth *Citadel*-class dreadnought deployed from the Voth Fortress Ship, and an Undine *Tethys*-class. The Borg Cooperative leading an Alpha Quadrant Alliance task force from Seven of Nine's sphere, recognized this as their change to target and destroy all three dreadnoughts within minutes.

Starfleet Directive 010

Starfleet Directive 010

Subject: First Contact Procedures

To: All Starfleet Personnel

It is the policy of the United Federation of Planets to seek peaceful resolution and diplomatic contact with all alien species, whenever possible. In the event of a potential hostile encounter, all Starfleet personnel are to adhere to the following procedures:

1. Make all attempts at peaceful communication and establish contact with the alien species before engaging in any form of military action.
2. Use all available means of communication, including universal translators and diplomatic protocols, to establish a dialogue and avoid misunderstandings.
3. If necessary, use defensive measures to protect the safety of Starfleet personnel and assets, but only if all attempts at peaceful resolution have failed.
4. When military action is unavoidable, use the minimum amount of force necessary to achieve the objectives.
5. After any conflict, Starfleet personnel are to make all attempts to initiate dialogue and seek peaceful resolution with the alien species.

Failure to adhere to these procedures will result in disciplinary action, up to and including court-martial proceedings.

Orbit

**Orbit** is a term which is used to describe the flightpath of an object in space which has repetitive motion and a distinct center with respect to its flight path.

The term is used to define a planet's flight path in its own solar system, and to describe a starship's relative position above an object.

There are several different forms of orbit, some of which are commonly referred to as "standard orbit" or "high orbit" by Starfleet personnel:

* **Synchronous orbit**: This form of orbit is used by a starship to maintain its position towards a specific point on the objects surface. In this circumstances, the starship's rotational velocity will be equal to the object it is orbiting. (*TNG* episode & novelization: *Relics*)
* **High orbit**: This form of orbit means that a starship maintains a large distance from an objects surface for safety reasons, but would still allow the use of transporters. (*VOY* episodes: "Ex Post Facto", "The Omega Directive")
* **Geostationary orbit**: This form of orbit is where a starship remains stationary above a certain point of the object it is orbiting. During the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, Terok Nor was positioned in geostationary orbit of Bajor.

The unusually wide elliptical orbit of Bajor's outermost moon, Baraddo, only brought it into view of Bajor every five years. (*DS9* novel: *Devil in the Sky*)
Altonian brain teaser

The **Altonian brain teaser** was a puzzle that responded to neural theta waves.

The game consisted of an iridescent sphere, which the player attempted to turn into a solid color. To do so required complete clarity of the mind, and the player needed focus entirely on the task at hand, and no physical contact was involved. If one's mind was not focused the sphere itself would disappear.

Ambassador

An **ambassador** was the official envoy of one government or political entity to another, or to an organization of political entities. Ambassadors also functioned as the heads of embassies. Customarily in the United Federation of Planets, ambassadors represented the Federation to non-member worlds, and sometimes member worlds had ambassadors to represent their worlds to the Federation itself. They had the power to file a diplomatic protest.

As high-ranking official representatives, Federation ambassadors have powers to issue orders and special instructions to Starfleet starship commanders.

When protocol does not call for a representative of full ambassador rank, a liaison officer drawn from a government's military or civil service corps may instead serve the same duties.
Admiral

**Admiral** is a rank of flag officer in naval services and space forces, such as Starfleet and the Romulan Star Navy. In the most basic officer rank schemes, admirals are a grade higher than a captain and are the highest possible grades in most rank structures, although some organizations will use the rank of commodore in between captains and admirals, which is also used as a title for lower ranking commanders who are nominally in charge of others of the same rank. The admiral rank is roughly equivalent with the authority of a general of military forces. The Klingon Defense Force has an admiral rank, referred to as ***'aj*** in Klingonese. In the Cardassian Union, legate is a Cardassian flag officer rank title which, in translation to Federation Standard, is approximately equivalent to senior admirals.

In military parlance, it is often acceptable and normal to refer to any grade of admiral simply as "admiral" in most forms of address. In order to establish a hierarchy of command, numerous grades exist in various different systems to distinguish admirals from each other.

## Grades of Admiral

* five star admiral, fleet admiral, grand admiral, superadmiral
* four star admiral, **admiral**
* three star admiral, vice admiral
* two star admiral, rear admiral
* one star admiral, rear admiral lower half, commodore
Prometheus class

The ***Prometheus*-class** was a Federation advanced escort starship developed for tactical operations in deep space. The *Prometheus*-class entered service in 2374. Its main feature was the multi-vector assault mode, which allowed a *Prometheus*-class escort to split into three warp-capable, combat ready sections designated Alpha, Beta, and Gamma
Combadge

A **Combadge** is a small personnel communications device integrated into an insignia badge of organizations such as the United Federation of Planets Starfleet and the Bajoran Militia.

Combadges are used for communications from individuals to other persons, starships, planetary locations and anywhere else within the range of the device. They also function as a locator device for transporter beams and have integrated universal translators.

## History

Starfleet first began using combadges in the late 23rd century to the early 24th century. The combadge replaced the earlier communicator. Starfleet combadges are worn by officers, enlisted personnel, Starfleet Academy cadets, and other personnel attached to Starfleet. Starfleet combadges are worn on an individual's left breast.

Academy cadets were not allowed to use the combadges during off hours for communications without emergency contact authorization by a Starfleet officer.

By the mid 24th century Klingons had also replaced their communicators with combadges which were worn on their arms.

The Bajoran Militia also used combadges which functioned similarly to the Starfleet combadge; however, it was worn on an individual's right breast.

Starfleet Board of the Admiralty

The Admiralty Board is the principal decision-making entity within Starfleet. They have the authority to issue orders to all branches, divisions, departments, starship and Starfleet installations.

## Organization

The Starfleet Board of the Admiralty contained fifteen admirals who served the primary duty of making the day-to-day operations of Starfleet. This board was chaired by the Starfleet Commander.
Milky Way Galaxy

The **Milky Way** is a spiral galaxy in which most of recorded history takes place. The name "The Milky Way" comes from Earth; the galaxy is also known as the "home galaxy" to many races.

## History and specifics

The Milky Way is approximately thirteen billion years old and 100,000 light-years across, 15,000 light-years deep at the galactic core and contains approximately 200 billion stars which orbit the galactic core over a period of around 220 million years. Somewhat unusually, the Galaxy is enveloped in an energy field known as the galactic barrier. A similar field, the Great Barrier, encloses much of the Galactic Core. Both fields were created by the Q Continuum to protect the galaxy from, respectively, 0 and The One. These fields had the effect of making the Milky Way a safe haven from both natural phenomena and any malicious entities, such as the beings described above. Several races, such as the Caeliar, were unwilling to leave the Milky Way, as they would then lose the protection offered by the Great and Galactic Barriers.

In addition to the main body of the Milky Way, the galaxy has a number of smaller companion bodies, most notably the smaller and larger Magellanic Clouds. The galaxy is also in the process of absorbing a dwarf Galaxy SagDEG. The Milky Way's nearest large neighbor is the Andromeda Galaxy, some 2.2 million light-years away.

The Galaxy is naturally subdivided into a number of "arms", with the Federation and its neighbors mostly occupying the Orion Arm. However, for the sake of standardized navigation the Federation and most other galactic powers divide the Galaxy into four equal segments: the Quadrants.

Given the huge size of the Galaxy and the limited velocities available at warp speed a number of races use networks of subspace pathways to navigate the galaxy. Some are natural such as those formally controlled by the Vaadwaur, whereas others are artificial constructs such as the Borg Transwarp, Iconian Gateway and the Caeliar subspace tunnel networks or the Bajoran wormhole.

## Galactic arms

* 3 KPC Arm (the Shapley Center)
* Norma Arm
* Crux Arm
* Carina Arm

Way of Shadow

Monks of the Way of Shadow follow a tradition that values stealth and subterfuge. These monks might be called ninjas or shadowdancers, and they serve as spies and assassins. Sometimes the members of a ninja monastery are family members, forming a clan sworn to secrecy about their arts and missions. Other monasteries are more like thieves' guilds, hiring out their services to nobles, rich merchants, or anyone else who can pay their fees. Regardless of their methods, the heads of these monasteries expect the unquestioning obedience of their students.

#### Shadow Arts

You can use your ki to duplicate the effects of certain spells. As an action, you can spend 2 ki points to cast darkness, darkvision, pass without trace, or silence, without providing material components. Additionally, you gain the minor illusion cantrip if you don't already know it.

#### Shadow Step

You gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. You then have advantage on the first melee attack you make before the end of the turn.

#### Cloak of Shadows

By 11th level, you have learned to become one with the shadows. When you are in an area of dim light or darkness, you can use your action to become invisible. You remain invisible until you make an attack, cast a spell, or are in an area of bright light.

#### Opportunist

At 17th level, you can exploit a creature's momentary distraction when it is hit by an attack. Whenever a creature within 5 feet of you is hit by an attack made by a creature other than you, you can use your reaction to make a melee attack against that creature.
Dimensions

**Dimension** refers to a quality of measurement, specifically how many coordinates are required to locate something at a specific place in space. Normal locations require three dimensions to be defined, in addition to the requirement of knowing at what point in time a given location is being observed. Scientific theory and mathematics have posited additional dimensions which exist as extensions of the space-time continuum, with additional parameters of measuring those dimensions that do not exist in the universe, giving them qualities of separate universes.

It has been proven that continuums can connect through using means to transcend additional dimensions.

Dimensional feedback is an energy phenomenon which can affect objects that travel outside of a normal timestream or dimensional space. This effect can interfere with the proper navigation of certain types of time travel technology.
Department of Defense

The **Federation Department of Defense (DoD)** was an executive agency of the Federation government charged with defending the United Federation of Planets, as well as its worlds and outposts from foreign aggression and domestic threats.

The Federation Department of Defense was headed by the Federation Secretary of Defense, a cabinet-level head who reported directly to the President of the United Federation of Planets. Beneath the Department of Defense were two subordinate military department: the Federation Army and the Federation Starfleet.

## Organizational structure

The secretary of defense, appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Federation Council, is by law the head of the department of defense.

The Department of Defense is composed of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Joint Staff, the Office of the Inspector General, the Combatant Commands, and the Military Departments (Department of the Army, and Department of Starfleet).

### Office of the Secretary of Defense

The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) is the secretary and their deputy's civilian staff.

OSD is the principal staff element of the secretary of defense in the exercise of policy development, planning, re
Alejandro Rodriguez

Overall, Captain Rodriguez is a highly respected and effective captain who inspires confidence and loyalty in those around him.
Cybernetics

**Cybernetics** is a discipline of science that deals with the study of communication of information in systems, either in the life processes of lifeforms and their interactions or in the programming and operation of technology. Since both life and technology are evaluated, this study can also apply to combinations of technology with living things.

By order of Starfleet Command
Starfleet Command

**Starfleet Command** (or **Starfleet Central**) was the operating authority of Starfleet, the exploratory, scientific, and military department of United Earth before being integrated into the United Federation of Planets in 2161. The organization's primary management center was located at Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco, Earth.

## Departments and agencies

Starfleet Command had jurisdiction over several agencies, as well as the entirety of the Federation Starfleet.

* Starfleet Board of the Admiralty
* Starfleet Bureau of Information
* Starfleet Bureau of Standards
* Starfleet Casualty Notification
* Starfleet Command Appeals Board
* Starfleet Humanoid Resources
* Starfleet Internal Mail System
* Starfleet Occupational Health and Safety
* Starfleet Records
* Starfleet Regulatory Agency
Sentience

The term **sentience** has shared several meanings across the centuries. During the 21st century, for example, it meant the ability to feel or perceive, which may or may not have included being intelligent or self-aware. A separate concept in use at the time was the term **sapient**, which meant the ability to act with intelligence. So, for example, a plant could be "sentient", and a computer "sapient" with neither having to have the attributes of the other. Intelligent life was therefore called "sapient".

That changed sometime prior to the 22nd century. At that point intelligent life was referred to as sentient. The concepts of perception and intelligence had been combined such that the word now meant an intelligent, self-aware, conscious entity deserving of rights, respect, and freedom.

In the 23rd century the word "sentient" again meant what it had in centuries past: the ability to feel or perceive. Intelligent life was therefore generally called *sapient* rather than sentient.

The tide turned again in the 24th century and intelligent life was referred to as it was in the 22nd: as *sentient*. There was, however, no commonly understood definition of the term. Despite centuries of consideration and linguistic changes, how one determined whether a lifeform or machine was sentient, and the legal and moral implications of being sentient, were neither fully understood nor agreed upon.

Cyberneticist Bruce Maddox gave three soft requirements during a 2365 hearing:

* Intelligence: the ability to learn, understand, and cope with new situations
* Self-awareness: being conscious of one's existence and actions or aware of one's self and one's ego
* Consciousness

He was unable to truly argue, however, using these, that Data was not sentient while Jean-Luc Picard was.

When the James Moriarty hologram was accidentally created with the gift of sentience, he initially described the sensation as though he consciously "*felt like a new man.*" Moriarty later elaborated, "*my mind is crowded with images. Thoughts I do not understand yet cannot purge. They plague me. You and your associate look and act so oddly, yet though I have never met nor seen the like of either of you I am familiar with you both. It's very confusing. I have felt new realities at the edge of my consciousness, readying to break through.*"
Nudity

**Nudity** refers to the state of not wearing any clothes. Most sentient species remove their garments to become **naked** when they have sexual relations. Some cultures - such as Humans and Vulcans - considered nudity to be somewhat risqué and titillating. However, other cultures - such as the Edo - considered nudity a normal part of everyday life.
Military

A **military** is an organization that has been designed to defend its governmental body from enemies both internal and external to the nation. A military can be made up of volunteers who have come together to serve, or it can be a conscripted fighting force that is a requirement of all citizens of a government.

Starfleet of the United Federation of Planets is an example of a military unit defending a large governmental body; whereas the Bajoran Militia is an example of a unit defending a single government, in this case the Republic of Bajor.

Ensign

**Ensign** is a rank of officer in many naval services and space forces, most notably Earth Starfleet and its Federation counterpart.

## Standing

An ensign is the most basic officer rank, a grade above than any enlisted person or non-commissioned officer, and a grade below lieutenant junior grade in most rank structures, although some organizations will advance to another lieutenant rank. The Federation also has used ranks below and above ensign, ensign junior grade and ensign first class. The ensign rank is roughly equivalent with the authority of a second lieutenant of military forces and service organizations. The Romulan Star Empire has two ranks, antecenturion (*erein* in the Romulan language) and equitoriam, that are analogous to an ensign's standing. In the Cardassian language, *gil* is a Cardassian officer rank title which, in translation to Federation Standard, is approximately equivalent to an ensign. In Klingonese, an ensign is referred to as ***lagh***
Radiation

**Radiation** (or **particle radiation**) is present in various amounts throughout the known universe, originating as the emission of energy in the form of subatomic particles. Different types of materials and substances that naturally process or emit radiation are referred to as **radioactive**. Many lifeforms have evolved to absorb specific radiations in their environment to facilitate their survival, although changes in that balance could have negative effects, such as radiation poisoning occurring in environments where too much (or the wrong kinds of) radiation is present.

Many humanoid life forms have evolved dependency on the various types of heat radiation present on their homeworlds and nearby planets in the star system around their native star, however, without shielding, would be killed by different levels of radiation in nearby space.

## Types of radiation

* antimatter radiation
* berthold ray
* chion particle radiation
* chroniton radiation
* delta ray
* gamma ray
* Hawking radiation
* hypersonic radiation
* ionizing radiation
* metaphasic radiation
* meteron radiation
* mu radiation
* omicron radiation
* nadion radiation
* pyritic radiation
* sigma radiation
* spiroid epsilon ray
* stellar radiation
* subnucleonic radiation
* subspece radiation
* tachyon radiation
* thalaron radiation
* theta radiation
* ultraviolet radiation
* x-ray
* ybakra radiation
* zeton radiation
Moon

A **moon** is a natural satellite that orbits a planet.

## History and specifics

Moons vary in size across the galaxy, from asteroid size to nearly the size of a planet themselves. As a result, their gravitational fields can have differing effects on the planets they orbit. Luna's gravitational pull, for example, effects the tides of Earth.

Such tidal effects would be recognizable even if the moon were cloaked.

Like planets, moons can vary in their appearance and make-up. Jeraddo orbiting Bajor had a Class M environment that was capable of supporting life, while Luna was a desolate rock, until colonies were established in the 21st century and humans began adapting the landscape.
Antimatter

**Antimatter** was a generalized term that was used to describe a state of matter which is in some way different from another form of matter. The term is often used to describe:

* a subatomic particle of matter which has an opposite charge of another particle of matter
* a subatomic particle of matter that is a variant of another particle, albeit with different qualities

Genetic engineering

**Genetic engineering**, **genetic programming**, or **genetic manipulation** was a process in which the DNA of an organism was selectively altered through artificial means. Genetic engineering was often used to produce "custom" organisms, such as for agricultural or medical purposes, as well as to produce biogenic weapons. The most common application of genetic engineering on intelligent beings in the Federation was corrective DNA resequencing for genetic disorders. A far more dubious application of genetic engineering was the genetic enhancement of individuals to produce improved senses, strength, intelligence, etc.
Faeran Spiced Rice

## Ingredients

* 2 cups of Faeran rice
* 1 tablespoon of ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil
* 1 onion, finely chopped
* 2 cloves of garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
* 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
* 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom
* 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
* 1 carrot, diced
* 1 red bell pepper, diced
* 1/2 cup frozen peas
* 1/4 raisins
* Salt to taste
* Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

## Instructions

* Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain and set aside.
* In a large skillet or pot, melt the ghee or heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it turns translucent.
* Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
* Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, and cayenne pepper. Cook for a minute to allow the spices to release their flavors.
* Add the diced carrot, red bell pepper, frozen peas, and raisins to the skillet. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
* Add the soaked and drained basmati rice to the skillet, stirring gently to coat the grains with the spice mixture.
* Pour in 4 cups of water and season with salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
* Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
* Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve hot.
