Cronulla VI

Description of Site
The gas giant Cronulla VI is inhabited by an intelligent lifeform well within the cloud layer, just hovering along above the liquid ammonia layer of the planet. It made first contact with the Odyssey in 2314.Q4.M3 by sending energy pulses through the atmosphere to signal the ship. (Note the lifeform had made prior attempts to communicate by signaling a passing cargo ship back in 2313, which the Odyssesy was following up on.) The Odyssey was about to reciprocate some primitive exchanges by sending pulses indicating basic electrical principles, plus leaning on our telepathic ship's counsellor. Since then communication efforts have continued via an orbiting station.

Other Notes
As part of an effort to better secure the coreward region, a Starfleet Outpost was built in the system. The lifeform has been reticent to make direct contact, but has demonstrated a knowledge of the galaxy beyond its gas giant home that raises a number of questions.
