Usage examples of buran.

The Enterprise is ordered diverted immediately to the Buran System, Captain.

The Burani vote to join the Federation was almost evenly split, Captain, and there seem to be a lot of them who feel that it was a bad move.

Some of the more vocal opponents of Federation membership are claiming that the plague came from the Andorians, and they’re screaming for Buran to pull out of the Federation.

If Buran should pull out—or worse, decide to ally itself instead with the Romulans—it would weaken our presence in the sector severely.

As soon as they are in, set a course for the Buran System at maximum warp.

Data, please stand down and review all current files on Buran and prepare a presentation.

The disease is proving to be very difficult to trace for the Burani, and impossible to treat.

What followed was a yearlong debate and then a vote by the Burani on whether their world should join the Federation.

However, the Burani are, as a result of historic predator attacks, an insular and suspicious people.

Though there were evident advantages to be gained from Federation membership, many of the Burani strongly favored isolation instead.

If the plague continues much longer, this group may force a revote and then retract Buran’s membership.

From the video broadcasts that I have scanned, it would appear that many Burani ascribe the plague to the Andorian visit.

Besides, to create a biological weapon, they would need to know a fair amount about Burani biology, more than the Federation records contain.

However, I assume that the Burani would have a record of the vessel and probably a flight path in their logs after it left their world.

On the other hand, if I can play devil’s advocate for a moment, what if the Burani are right?
