Romulan Scout/Landing Craft (Crashed on Galorndon Core)

A small Romulan atmospheric insertion craft wrecked on Galorndon Core: its compact hull is scorched, buckled, and sheared open by catastrophic forces, with blackened composite plating, exposed ribs, and charred avionics. Storm-driven soil partly buries the wreck around a scorched crater; an intermittent distress beacon and stuttering emergency lights are present. Forensic traces (including ultritium contamination) and visible Romulan sigils make the site a diplomatic and investigatory focal point. The wreck yields a single gravely injured Romulan who is recovered by the away team, prompting triage and tense custody/security disputes.

Significance

Serves as the inciting physical clue: its wreckage produces the wounded Romulan whose rescue sparks medical urgency, security custody battles, and diplomatic leverage that escalates tensions (provoking Tomalak and exposing command moral choices).
