[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Here goes... Q1a Starfleet�s priorities regarding neutral systems and societies generally begin with providing for continued neutrality. On that note, my task is to intercept and deter undue outside influences, a policy that (wholly incidentally) gives me dibs to any cultural meddling I choose to sanction. My operations will have to begin with classic sector control, involving at least three starships and other assets on monitoring duty and defensive readiness, plus their support forces. Second in priority order will be interaction with the Dorzans, at first limited to rudimentary diplomatic contact and casual intel work. Third comes dealing with the flowers and bees on Semma, an issue for which I have a period-specific approach in mind. Fourth will be the detailed charting of all sector features, in tried and true Starfleet methodology. Q1b Sector control begins with three first-rate starships, of which two are in active duty at any given time. For the sake of possible future intrigue, I assume I mainly get postwar scraps: [i]USS Robuste[/i] (NCC-14677), [i]Excelsior[/i] class [i]USS Elent�ri[/i] (NCC-21321), [i]Hokule�a[/i] class [i]USS Achilles[/i] (NCC-12532), [i]Apollo[/i] class My support forces are slightly more modern. I have two "troubleshooter" lightweights, and one former planetary assault ship that has been reconfigured for tender, depot and repair duties. These vessels generally reside at the starbase: [i]USS Balmoran[/i] (NCC-78212), [i]Sabre[/i] class [i]USS Katana[/i] (NCC-79479), [i]Sabre[/i] class [i]USS Veracruz[/i] (NCC-54911), [i]Steamrunner[/i] class Although rather lightly armed overall, the [i]Veracruz[/i] still embarks a company of ground troops, their vehicles stashed in one corner of her vast holds. At a moment's notice, she can take aboard and arm the usual troop strength, a reinforced batallion - although these troops won't be quite as experienced as the shipboard regulars. For my survey needs, I deploy a versatile if small science vessel: [i]USS Humason[/i] (NCC-81303), [i]Nova[/i] class Q1c The Dorzan question, while of secondary import, warrants a special liaison. It�s not as if Captain Henschel would majorly contribute to my primary efforts with her antique tin can (but don�t tell her I said so); off to Dorza she goes, with the mission of establishing a working UFP consulate there. Starfleet�s young promises coming this way get channeled to her staff. Work on the consulate should also provide an excuse for near-constant starship presence, with my big cruisers helping to haul the furniture. In the meantime, I intend to learn about the neighborhood faster than the Dorzans can. My [i]Sabres[/i] will begin with charting out the Zemch reservate, and deploying a dense yet covert sensor network there. At the same time, my science vessel will launch Operation Not Really Here: a diplomatic mission to Semma consisting solely of holographic envoys. They will provide full transparency, both figurative and literal, acting on Semman terms and avoiding any physical interference with the world. They have the mandate to improvise, to flexibly assume new forms and practices as befits the Semman situation. Their goal is to intermingle with the society along a path of least resistance. As my forces arrive, one of the cruisers and the depot ship will initially remain at the starbase; others will deploy as described above, with one cruiser on patrol in the upper right areas of the sector, and with the [i]Runnymede[/i] in Dorzan orbit.
