Nami shook her head. "I'm afraid not. This wormhole is well outside Federation reach." She said. "It is however within Reach of a Fae'Rhal outpost."

"Good enough. Might take a while before they receive the communication given how far we are, but let's send it anyway", he said, activating a communication to be sent towards the outpost in question.
"This is Captain James Howlet, of the Federation starship USS Vanquisher, and Ambassador of the Fae'Rhal Clan Howlet in the Federation. My crew and I are currently about to respond to a distress call at the accompanying coordinates... which led us to a gigantic portal, seemingly stable and permanent according to our scans. We are about to pass through it in order to attempt a rescue mission. All evidence seems to point to this wormhole being safe for passage, but for the sake of being thorough, I am sending you this communication in order to pass the information along to Starfleet should we fail to return for whatever reason", he explained.
"Should our mission proceed smoothly, we will likely be late for our expected arrival at our intended destination, but perhaps we will have saved innocent lives. Otherwise, please ensure to pass along this transmission to inform the Howlet Clan and Starfleet of this wormhole's existence and of this present transmission. The wormhole's massive size and permanent nature might make it a significant discovery for both parties, likely necessitating further study and potentially the establishment of a permanent outpost on location. If our mission is successful, we will send another transmission as soon as possible. Thank you. USS Vanquisher, signing off", he concluded, ending the communication.
He double-checked to make sure the communication had been sent properly, before nodding at his officers.
"Alright. Yellow Alert. Shields up, full power, just to be safe. Get us through that portal, Mr. Hyoudou." 8 in Technology to set up a communication to be sent to the Fae'Rhal outpost.
8 in Statecraft (Persuade, Diplomacy, Starfleet Protocol, Captain) to make said communication, before giving out my orders.

You go through the portal, and arrive in orbit over a lush green and blue world.

"Status report. Where are we?" he asked his crew, observing the planet.

There was a lengthy scan. "I... I don't know." Luna said. "This does not match with any of our star charts."

"So either we are VERY far from known space... VERY far in the past or the future... or in another universe entirely, perhaps", he pondered. "What a fascinating portal. Very well. What about that distress signal? Do we have a precise reading here?"

"We have a lock on the crashed ship." Nami said bringing up an image of it a small city built on and around it.

"Get us there, Lieutenant", he requested to Issei. "Ms. Nami, please attempt to open a channel with the crashed ship, or the colony around it failing that. On screen if we get through."

You watch as the ship descends and lands as an audio only message pops up.
"Did you get our signal?" One asks.

"That is correct. I am captain James Howlet, of the Federation starship USS Vanquisher. We received your distress call through a nearby portal and followed it here. What is the situation? Are your people in need of medical assistance?" he asked.

"We are all alright." They say. "We have managed to make a decent settlement and survival shelter by harnessing the local resources and fauna."

"That is quite reassuring", he said. "Do you nonetheless require assistance of some kind?"

"Yes, we still would like an Evacuation." They say. "That said we'd like to take several of the fauna with us, we've grown quite the bonds with them over the last 8 months."

"How many is 'several' of the fauna, and where do you need to go from here?" he asked. "Did you come from the portal as well?"

"about 218 of these... Pals and another 77 of us." The Piplup explained. "We need to return to Fae'Rhal territory. Once there we can all find rides back to our respective homes."
"Captain." Lunamaria began. "Our sensors are picking up anchient ruins all over the world that seem to be Fae'Rhal in origin."
