Mission Log: USS Indefatigable

Stardate XYZ123.6 Mission casualties: 1 Collateral damage: 2 shuttle craft, 2 discount androids, a small amount of trilexium fuel, ALL OF OUR TINFOIL
We sent a shuttlecraft into the magnetic field and lost contact immediately upon entry. Reports from crewmen Starchild and Cassiopeia, as well as Dr. Solly describe the situation as follows: an ancient race of beings has determined this planet to be a prison for a race of beings they called Dextromethazoids or Democraticons. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that these creatures were determined to be too agressively evolved for the universe at large, and thus have been confined to this planet by means of a strong electromagnetic field that disables all electronic devices that come in contact with it. 

Our first shuttle craft crashed on the surface, and the survivors attempted to disable the field from there. Meanwhile, aboard the ship, our scans detected the location of field emitters at the north and south poles, but before we could deal with them, a Cromulan Warbird approached and claimed this area of space as Cromulan territory. I told them that no such official claim had been made of their behalf. They did not agree, and we were at a stalemate.

When the Cromulans were not looking, we constructed a makeshift explosive device with the intention of dropping it and a large amount of heavy matter from orbit onto the north emitter. Unfortunately, the shuttle craft carrying the device was piloted by our two worst androids, and got too close to the field and was lost.  
Soon after, our away team successfully disrupted the field long enough for us to teleport them away, at which time they gave their report. It is the opinion of this captain that the planet is of no use to the Confederation, but that the Cromulan Empiracy may seek to use methods similar to our own to dismantle the planet’s defenses and bring the Dexterwhatsits under their control. A Confederate patrol is thus recommended for the area.
