Shedai carrier wave

The Shedai carrier wave was a low frequency artificial signal emanating from within the Taurus Reach in 2265. It affected sensitive equipment in its path such as computer interfaces, sensor arrays and communication networks aboard Starfleet Starbase 47-Vanguard, the USS Lovell and the Orion merchant ship Omari-Ekon.

Starfleet officers, Lieutenants Mahmud al-Khaled and Isaiah Farber discovered that the signal was cyclical, repeating itself every 24 minutes. They likened it to a warning beacon or hail. With Captain Daniel Okagawa's approval, Lieutenant T'Laen responded to the signal, successfully terminating it and preventing further adverse affects to their systems.
