The purpose of the Simulated Exercise was to provide all departments a venue to test their readiness and currently procedures and policies. While heavy focus was given to tactics and security, enough situations were provided to test the combat readiness of the other departments, including Medical and Engineering.

Only a few personnel were provided with foreknowledge of the drill, the stated intent being to gauge actions under real circumstances as it was felt that if the crew was made aware of the drill before it began, they might not perform to the same level. While the First Officer acknowledges the strategy and thought behind this, she is of the opinion that it might not have been the best of ideas. Reason: A number of casualties were sustained that might not have happened in a situation where it was known that it was a drill. Yes, this fits with the aforementioned assessment that the crew might perform at the same level as a real event. However, the First Officer is of the opinion that injuries sustained during a combat simulation are an unnecessary risk.

'''Analysis of Tactical:''' The First Officer is pleased with the tactical simulation. The ship was engaged by numerous vessels employing pack tactics and was successful in shaking such a tactic and managed to destroy or disable three vessels while testing a prototype program developed for specific use within the Par’tha Expanse and takes advantage of the unique characteristics of the Expanse to detect possible locations of cloaked vessels. The program was able to detect such a vessel, and the subsequent tactics confirmed its location and it was disabled as well.
