[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] [i]Boy HOWdy, didn't we have fun the last time with the Prime Directive? I wonder if there's an overriding element in this one, too? Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not gonna say. Since Monsieur de Minutiae is otherwise occupied by other elements, I've gone ahead with the next episode of YTA!. It's the Sobchak Sector & it's a doozy.[/i] The map key, rules, & disclaimer:<UL> [*]Each sector is approximately 20 cubic ly. At warp nine, a starship will take approximately five days to traverse a side. [*]Each unnamed dot/circle represents a main-sequence star with little interesting about it unless noted. Some may be inhabited or habitable but are not one serious note. [*]Each planet is in a star system, and except where noted is class-M. Circle sizes are not relevant. [*]Blue circles denote major Federation-affiliated systems and installations. [*]Red circles denote major Klingon-affiliated systems and installations. [*]Yellow circles denote primary systems of interest. [*]Purple circles denote home systems of non-aligned governments. [*]The space in the adjoining sectors is essentially devoid of anything interesting or valuable. Borders extend in staight lines beyond that which is noted. [*]Unless noted, all inhabited planets are occupied by humanoid species with a variety of bumpy heads.</UL> Timeline: 2275. That means that yes, you're still wearing those silly pajamas from TMP. But no more wrist communicators at least. <center><A href="http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/343/sobchak-big.png">[IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/343/sobchak.png[/IMG] [b]Sobchak Sector[/b]</A> <small>(click above for larger picture)</small></center> As you can see this is a complicated area. it is located somewhat "below" the normal galactic plane; Organia would be a bit above it, but a few sectors away. Federation space is in blue. Klingon space is red. the space of the Penxi Optimus, a non-aligned nation, is in purple. Dashed lines indicate the "hidden" borders. Notice how the spaces wrap around each other; there is overlap:<uL> [*]The red/purple area to the right is a border between the Klingons & the Penxi; from the map view angle, the Penxi are "in front." [*]The blue/purple area to the left center is a border between the Federation & the Penxi; from the map view angle, the Federation is "in front." Not the element that juts out. [*]The red/blue area to the top center is a border between the Klingons & the Federation; from the map view angle, the Federation is "in front." [*]The green area in the center is the Ul'Chek nebula, and overalps some small bit of space of all three territories.</UL>As you can see, this is an area of heavy stellar population. There are three Klingon worlds of note: Rosek II, Voltok III, & Ke'GencH VII. The Oblerk Military Base also sits near your the border & the nebula. Your office is aboard Deep Space Station K-10, situated near the Klingon border in free space. It serves as an administrative site for Federation policy, a starbase for fleet coordination, & acts as a major trade & transit point in the sector. There are five major Federation worlds in the sector: [b]<U>Repka</U>[/b]<UL> [*]Star type: Binary system, A3V (system primary), K6V [*]Number of planets: 6 planets, 30 dwarf planets [*]Classes (inner to outer orbits): N, M (3 small moons), L, asteroid belt, D, J, wide asteroid belt, J [*]Member world: Repka II [*]Population: 1.8 million [*]Government: Competency-based anarchy (the more you know & the better you do, the more widely regarded you are held) [*]Type: Industrial/agricultural colony [*]Notes: Originally an Earth colony founded 2182</ul>[b]<U>Yvel</U>[/b]<UL> [*]Star type: Binary system, F3V (system primary), white dwarf [*]Number of planets: 6 planets, 10 dwarf planets [*]Classes (inner to outer orbits): B, D, G, M, asteroid belt, Q, J [*]Member world: Yvel IV [*]Population: 4.1 billion [*]Government: Learned oligarchy (only the learned hold power; the more you know, the more power you have) [*]Type: Species homeworld [*]Notes: A well-known place of study for scholars of all fields</ul> [b]<U>Ogul</U>[/b]<UL> [*]Star type: Binary system, O1III, G4V (system primary) [*]Number of planets: 7 planets [*]Classes (inner to outer orbits): D, D, H, F, G, M, asteroid belt, T (81 moons) [*]Member world: Ogul VI [*]Population: 11.3 billion [*]Government: Participatory republic (the people vote directly--no rerpresentatives) [*]Type: Species homeworld [*]Notes: Ogul VII is a class-T ultragiant that is effectively a failed star. Of its 81 moons, 6 are class-M, 2 are class-L, & 12 are class-K. Most of these have been colonized lightly or greatly in some measure by the Ogul & by other Federation citizens. Many of the rockier class-D moons have been colonized much like Luna as well.</ul>[b]<U>Espejo</U>[/b]<UL> [*]Star type: Single system, G2V [*]Number of planets: 8 planets, 4 dwarf planets [*]Classes (inner to outer orbits): Y, E, N, O, M, K, J, J [*]Member world: Espejo V [*]Population: 5.3 billion [*]Government: Benevolent fascism [*]Type: Federation colony [*]Notes: Founded 2197. Espejo IV is a class-O pelagic world that has several oceanographic research stations in its seas.</ul>[b]<U>Safko</U>[/b]<UL> [*]Star type: Single system, B1Ib [*]Number of planets: 4 planets [*]Classes (inner to outer orbits): M, D, C, C [*]Member world: Safko I [*]Population: 985,000 [*]Government: Theocratic democracy [*]Type: Dissident religious colony [*]Notes: Originally an Earth colony founded 2093. The outer worlds are a major source of minerals & heavy metals.</ul>There is also a non-aligned state, the Penxi Optimus:<UL> [*]Number of inhabited star systems: 10 [*]Population: 185.3 billion [*]Government: Despotic autocracy [*]Technology: Equivalent to Federation ca. 2225-2235 [*]Defense: 4 heavy warships (<A href="http://starfleet-museum.org/siegfried.htm">[i]Siegfried[/i]-class</A> equivalent); 9 warships (<A href="http://starfleet-museum.org/lancaster.htm">[i]Lancaster[/i]-class</A> equivalent); 350 assorted smaller ships (frigates, destroyers, raider craft) [*]Notes: First contact in 2203 by USS [i]Vilnius[/i]. Known for raiding parties into both Federation & Klingon space. Known refuge for Orion & other pirates, renegade Klingons, & other assorted galactic scum.</ul>The Ul'Chek Nebula which sits in the center of the sector is kinda biggish & somewhat unknown. It's a fairly standard nebula causing midlevel sensor interference to ships that pass through it, which is why it's used as a smokescreen by pirates & raiders; pursuers find their quarry quite difficult to track. it is unknown if there are any stars of planets contained within; at the moment, it is being charted & surveyed by an [i]Oberth[/i]-class research vessel, USS [i]Nernst[/i] (NCC-893). There is a small standing patrol force homeported at K-10 that makes its rounds in the sector. It is as follows: [*]USS [i]India[/i] (NCC-1479), <A href="http://starfleet-museum.org/lancaster.htm">[i]Lancaster[/i]</A>-class [*]USS [i]Skua[/i] (NCC-1396), <A href="http://starfleet-museum.org/kestrel.htm">[i]Kestrel[/i]</A>-class [*]USS [i]Dazzler[/i] (NCC-1567) & USS [i]Reporter[/i] (NCC-1787), <A href="http://starfleet-museum.org/avenger-predator.htm">[i]Avenger[/i]</A>-class [*]USS [i]Buccaneer[/i] (NCC-1686) & USS [i]Spanker[/i] (NCC-1842), <A href="http://starfleet-museum.org/avenger-predator.htm">[i]Predator[/i]</A>-class <center>[b]<U>QUESTION ONE (four parts)</U>[/b]</center><UL> [*]The yellow circle in the center of the map is Sobchak's Planet, a newly charted class-M world orbiting as the fourth world out from a relatively boring G1V star. It is unknown if the Organian Peace Treaty extends to this area of space, but to be certain, Sobchak's Planet has been placed under its auspice. That means both the Federation & the Klingons are going to be placing a colony on its surface. As per the treaty terms, whichever government's colony sufficiently develops well enough is awarded oversight of the whole system. As admiral for this sector, it is up to you to recommend the general elements of the Federation colony. What kind will it be: industrial? Agricultural? Mining? Residential? A combination of one or more? Will it be placed near the Klingons' site? Away from them? Explain the reasons for your choices. [*]Based on your decision on the type of colony to be founded, outline what you wish to request from Starfleet in terms of support. Will you need freighters for machinery or livestock? Transports for colonists? How many? Will you require escorts? If so, how many & of what type? (Please note that due to their need elsewhere, there are no [i]Constitution[/i]-, <A href="http://starfleet-museum.org/pyotr-velikiy.htm">[i]Pyotr Velikiy[/i]</A>-, or the 2 new <a href="http://www.kitsune.addr.com/SF-Conversions/Rifts-Trek-Ships/Federation_USS_Belknap.htm">[i]Belknap[/i]</A>-class large cruisers available.) [*]The survey vessel in the Ul'Chek Nebula has reported unusual sensor oddities as it probes deeper. There is no further explanation as the crew has none to report. It might be Klingons, it might be Penxi, it might be swap gas reflecting off the hull. Ruminate upon possible courses of action, but do NOT act upon them. [*]The reports of pircay from commercial craft both large & small are beginning to rise. How will you address it? Does it affect your plans from questions 1A & 1B; if so, how?</UL> <center>[b]********************************************[/b]</center> [i]A moment to step out of character here. I realize that the TMP era is sketchy on shippy canon, so I've allowed for some leeway, even if most of it DOES irk my sense of sequential hull numbers. That being said, I will allow for ships from the following non-canon sources (class inclusions or exceptions as noted): [*][b]FJ Tech Manual:[/b] All except [/i]Federation[i] [*][b]ASDB:[/b] <A href="http://www.trekships.org/antares.htm">[/i]Antares[i]</A> [*][b]TAS:[/b] [/i]Huron[i] [*][b]Ships Of The Star Fleet:[/b] Any vessel commissioned between 2235 & 2275 with the aforementioned exception of [/i]Decatur[i] & [/i]Belknap[i] (which by my notes should be the only 2 in service at that time) [*][b]FASA:[/b] Any vessel commissioned between 2235 & 2275 . You will of course need to figure out the conversion dates yourself. [*]<a href="http://starfleet-museum.org/">[b]Starfleet Museum:[/b]</A> [/i]Lancaster[i], [/i]Kestrel[i], [/i]Valley Forge[i], [/i]Avenger[i], [/i]Predator[i], [/i]Belleau Wood[i], [/i]Siegfried[i], [/i]Ocean[i], [/i]Giant[i], [/i]Constellation[i] (his freighter, not the canon one), [/i]Starmaster[i], "small transport", [/i]Sahara[i]. (I will also accept [/i]Pyotr Velikiy[i] if the situation arises where one is needed. That situation is not here at the moment) If you use any non-canon ship, please include a link to it for those of us who are unaware of it--[b]NO EXCEPTIONS.[/b] Also, whether any of these ships are refitted to movie-style standards is entirely up to you. They can be movie, they can be TOS, they can be mix & match. It's not a problem.[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
