Bureau of Conservation

The Bureau of Conservation was an agency within the United Federation of Planets who were responsible for investigating illegal hunting and any other factors that may endanger the well-being of indigenous species across Federation space. In 2368, they received a tip from a confidential source which informed that a group of criminals had begun to offer hunters who did not possess well developed moral scruples the chance to hunt a race of dragons in a cloud cluster that was surrounded by beta tachyons. A year later, Castor Nayfack infiltrated the hunting ring and enlisted the aid of the USS Enterprise-D to stop the criminal activity. (TNG novel: Here There Be Dragons)
