[QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [QB] Hah. Right after the deadline, like the good student I am: [b]QUESTION ONE[/b] [b]Part A[/b] As per the Treaty, the focus of the colonization of Sobchak's Planet will be sustainability, efficiency and self-reliance. Therefore, initially there would be an agricultural settlement, possibly later extended with mining or industrial facilities, depending on the environment. The colony will not be placed anywhere near the Klingons, and preferably at least a continent away. Per Treaty though, the Klingons will probably insist in coming 'on shore leave'. So obviously, with the Klingons and the Penxi nearby, this colony will need self-defense. But on the other hand, I will also make sure Starfleet will get the oppertunity to go on shore leave at the Klingon camp. A Starfleet police force will be detached to the colony, as will a small fleet of shuttlecraft. Which brings me to the next part of the question. [b]Part B[/b] As for bringing in the supplies for setting up the colony, I would rather let the specialists at the Bureau of Colonization and Transport Command deal with the specifics. I can only guess that about 4-5 [i]Giant[/i] or equivalent transports would be needed, plus a variety of [i]Independence[/i], [i]Starmaster[/i] and other smaller transports. Any regular supplies (or trade) will be handled through Deep Space K-10 via available (medium to small) transports. The current patrol force is apparently sufficient to secure the existing trade routes coming in and out of K-10. I assume that the nearby Federation members have their local system defense sorted out, so there is no immediate need for active patrolling in their space. For additional support for the colony, I request the USS [i]Resurgent[/i] (NCC-1240), a [i]Coventry[/i]-class frigate (as per SotSF, [i]Resurgent[/i] has an extended shuttlebay and more advanced anti-ship defense than the baseline [i]Coventry[/i]). The [i]Resurgent[/i] will deliver a force of shuttlecraft (2 [URL=http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/interdictionbombr_vigilante.jpg][i]Vigilantes[/i][/URL], 1 [URL=http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/recongunship_comanche.jpg][i]Comanche[/i][/URL], 1 [URL=http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/shuttle_galileo2.jpg][i]Galileo 5[/i] type[/URL]) to the surface of the planet. After this, [i]Resurgent[/i] will be tasked to deploy some orbital spy sattelites (these need not be much bigger than a baseball). Overall, [i]Resurgent[/i] primary mission is focused on the protection of the colony and surveying the perimeter of the Ul'Chek Nebula. To beef up the overall strength of the fleet, I would also request USS [i]Lucifer[/i] (NCC-521) and USS [i]Molock[/i] (NCC-522), two of the new [i]Siva[/i] class destroyers*. Both of these modern destroyers will join the current destroyer force. [b]Part C[/b] Should the contact turn out to be a hostile, [i]Resurgent[/i] (on deployment near the colony at the moment) should be able to react to any hostile actions. It could return to the colony, or set course towards the Nebula, depending on the nature of the contact. [b]Part D[/b] Increased pirate activity would first of all have an effect on the patrol routes of the fleet. I would redirect the [i]Molock[/i] and [i]Lucifer[/i] to patrol the trade routes most affected, and escort high-risk transports. In addition, I want a large Class 1 transport ([URL=http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/cargoxporttug_kepler.jpg][i]Kepler[/i][/URL] class), which has enough firepower to act as a detterent to pirates. * [i]Siva[/i] as seen on the Federation Recognition Chart: A 'refit'-style destroyer (launched 2274) with two nacelles above the saucer, and a torpedo pod between those nacelles. Can't find an online picture of the Chart silhouette. So, in conclusion, the material I require: [list] [*]USS [i]Resurgent[/i] (NCC-1240), [i]Coventry[/i]-class frigate [*]USS [i]Lucifer[/i] (NCC-521), [i]Siva[/i]-class destroyer [*]USS [i]Molock[/i] (NCC-522), [i]Siva[/i]-class destroyer [*]USS [i]Deslandres[/i] (NCC-3820), [i]Kepler[/i]-class transport/tug (assuming Part D wasn't hypothetical) [*]NCC-1240/19 [i]Blue Sky VI[/i], [i]Vigilante[/i]-class heavy tactical shuttle [*]NCC-1240/20 [i]T'Sharaa[/i], [i]Vigilante[/i]-class heavy tactical shuttle [*]NCC-1976/7 [i]Paladin[/i], [i]Comanche[/i] reconnaisance shuttle [*]NCC-K10/8 [i]Xzer[/i], Class F3 shuttle [/list] [/QB][/QUOTE]
