The time is star date 2/10.

The Kush convoy is a regular convoy run through The Triangle by the Romulan Navy. It is intended to allow the safe passage of ships under the protection of escort vessels. Recently the regular escort vessel has been replaced by a new R-4 Mularr (Type 5) escort. These units are specifically intended for this type of work.

In recognition of the potential danger along this convoy route, a second R-4 escort has been added to the convoy. This will be the first time a second R-4 will accompany the convoy.
