While they had noted the telltale signs of a vessel dropping from FTL hours prior, the Raddok was an old vessel, her captain lax in procedure. Mere light-minutes away, orbiting the gas giant they called Nukvarn, the HVC Raddok, a batarian scouting frigate, was surveying the moons for valuable resources. A dense, rocky world with an atmosphere similar to that of Irune, the starship-weary crew took the rare opportunity to disembark from their far-flung vessel. Scouring Dabo’s Knot for possible mining prospects, the independent volus mining vessel USG Ishi Mura noted the world of Bumi within the Shuoma System. The initial contact on the world of Bumi led to a formal relationship between the Hegemony of Khar'shan and the Vol Protectorate, a mainly mercantile affair that would continue even after both species were later discovered by the Citadel Council. Batarian robo-mining operations on the moons of Bumiīatarian/Volus First Contact was a historical event in which the batarian species first encountered the volus species, both of which had never met another civilization before.
