On reference stardate 2/0208, the Alesia was part of a small detachment of destroyers that was sent into an uncontrolled area near the Romulan Neutral Zone. When Starfleet failed to establish contact with the task force they dispatched a rescue fleet to the region but was unable to locate anything but a damaged warp nacelle belonging to the Alesia. Although Starfleet believed the Romulans were responsible, no action was taken. (FASA RPG module: Federation Ship Recognition Manual)
