[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] OK, gents, as I said, this is going to make up for lost time here. Please take notice of the time compression notations in bold contained within, yeh? Cheers. <center>[b]<U>QUESTION SIX (eleven parts)</u>[/b]</center> [*]Respond to [b]TWO[/b] (2) of the player-written scenarios posted in Q5, part 5. Your answers will have minimal bearing on the long-term nature of the rest of this course. [*][b]Two weeks after Part 1,[/b] raiders attack a Klingon outpost world and escape through the Ul'Chek Nebula. In his usual after-action bluster, General Plis'Qen again accuses the Federation of using the raiders to circumvent the Organian sanction on direct hostilities. This time, however, he has what he declares is incontrovertable proof: an image of USS [i]Nernst[/i] firing upon & destroying a [i]B'rel[/i]. [*][b]Four days after[/b] Plis'qen's angry communique, the Klingon force at Sobchak's Planet <a href="http://flare.solareclipse.net/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/1843/3.html#000038">as detailed in Q2</A> initiates a blockade of the planet. Planetary operations are unaffected (that is to say, the UFP colony is left alone), but no Federation vessel will be allowed to leave or enter the local space. [*]Starfleet Command has finally listened to your constant gripes & prompted by the blockade (which has not been challenged yet), a fleet of 25 starships makes starfall at K-10 [b]five days[/b] after the blockade begins. Task Force 614 is made up of the following vessels: <list> [*]USS [i]Essex[/i] (NCC-1697) & USS [i]Endeavour[/i] (NCC-1895), [i]Constitution[/i]-class heavy cruisers [*]USS [i]Niakenchiis[/i] (NCC-1755) & USS [i]Giap[/i] (NCC-1789), <A href="http://starfleet-museum.org/pyotr-velikiy.htm">[i]Pyotr Velikiy[/i]-class</A> heavy cruisers [*]USS [i]Artemis[/i] (NCC-1630), USS [i]Ganesa[/i] (NCC-1674), & USS [i]Anaconda[/i] (NCC-1714), <a href="http://starfleet-museum.org/valleyforge.htm">[i]Valley Forge[/i]-class</A> heavy cruisers [*]USS [i]Spectre[/i] (NCC-1727), USS [i]Menander[/i] (NCC-1782), USS [i]Khufu[/i] (NCC-1838) & USS [i]Culloden[/i] (NCC-1866), [i]Miranda[/i]-class frigates [*]USS [i]Scheveningen[/i] (NCC-1800) & USS [i]Stettin[/i] (NCC-1928), <A href="http://www.pixelsagas.com/ststcs/federation/chandley/chandley.html">[i]Chandley[/i]-class</A> frigates [*]USS [i]Balkan[/i] (NCC-1752), USS [i]Narcis[/i] (NCC-1770), & USS [i]Sachsen[/i] (NCC-1873), <a href="http://www.pixelsagas.com/ststcs/federation/loknar/loknar.html">[i]Loknar[/i]-class</A> frigates [*]USS [i]Takao[/i] (NCC-1768), USS [i]Cybele[/i] (NCC-1801), & USS [i]Asp[/i] (NCC-1880), <a href="http://www.pixelsagas.com/ststcs/federation/larson/larson.html">[i]Larson[/i]-class</A> destroyers [*]USS [i]Spinner[/i] (NCC-1685), USS [i]Trumpeter[/i] (NCC-1814), & USS [i]Forester[/i] (NCC-1859), <a href="http://starfleet-museum.org/avenger-predator.htm">[i]Avenger[/i]-class</A> destroyers [*]USS [i]Growler[/i] (NCC-1632), USS [i]Marauder[/i] (NCC-1790), & USS [i]Ravager[/i] (NCC-1896), <a href="http://starfleet-museum.org/avenger-predator.htm">[i]Predator[/i]-class</A> destroyers</LIST> TF 614 is commanded by Commodore Ayla Hage, commanding [i]Essex[/i]. She reports to your office on K-10 & the two of you confer along with your respective staffs as to the current state of affairs. The general assesment is that the combined forces could go after the raider base noted in Q5, pt. 1 and the Klingon blockade simultaneously but that a consecutive full-fleet appraoch would be better for victory than a concurrent partail-fleet action. So what's first: the raider base or the blockade? Explain your reasons and any possible complications that may arise from a plan you might put together. Assume that all vessels have been refitted to TMP-era cosmetics & standards. Also, USS [i]Neulovimy[/i] (NCC-1945) from Q5, pt. 1 has completed repairs & may be drafted into your local fleet temporarily. [*][b]Two days[/b] after TF 614's arrival, a small Klingon force comprised of 3 [i]B'rel[/i]-class birds-of-prey and a single <a href="http://www.pixelsagas.com/ststcs/klingons/D-10/D-10.html">D-10 cruiser</A> attack a small trade fleet retuning from Penxi space. The small convoy belongs to the lesser race that opened ties with the Penxi Optimus in <A href="http://flare.solareclipse.net/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/1843/8.html#000108">Q4, pt. 4</A>. The Klingons disable the vessels, board them, & seize the cargos along with any information on the Penxi contained within the computers. While the race involved is not a Federation member, the raid was conducted in what generally ammounts to Federation space. [*][b]Two hours[/b] after the raid, Sector Guard vessels responding to the distress call sent by the aliens encounter & engage the Klingon party. They incur substantial losses, enough where approximately 55% of the Guard's entire force is now decimated. [*][b]Three days[/b] after the attack, the Penxi Optimus launches an all-out attack against Sobchak's Planet. Three of their <A href="http://starfleet-museum.org/lancaster.htm">[i]Lancaster[/i]</A> equivalent vessels, one of the <a href="http://starfleet-museum.org/siegfried.htm">[i]Siegfried[/i]</A> equivalents, and 75 of the smaller ships conduct the attack. The Klingon blockade force in orbit takes up the defense of the entire planet (if you have any vessels in orbit, assume that they, too, joined in) but is quickly overwhelmed by the fierceness of the Penxi strike. Several ships are destroyed, most are crippled, and Penxi troops begin ladning in both Klingon & Federation settlements. [*]Communications with Sobchak's Planet go dark a few hours after the attack. [b]One week[/b] after the strike & occupation, no word has been received from either Governors Qiao or Valg. [*]About the same time (that 1-week span), the large Klingon force spotted in Q5, pt. 4 decloaks around the Penxi Optimus homeworld [i](I'll leave the potential jokes open here)[/i] and begins orbitally bombarding it. Small raider-types effect a vigorous defense of the planet and bloody the Klingons' nose; 3 vessels are destroyed, 5 are crippled. [*][b]Two days[/b] after the Klingon retaliation, a smuggled report from the Federation colony on Sobchak's Planet reaches you. Short & urgent, the sender states that the Penxi are stripping the colony & planet of all natural resources. The populace is being utilized as slave labor regardless of age, gender, or infirmity, & there have been several deaths from overwork or punishment already. Among the first deaths was DSU Qiao, who was shot in the head point blank by a blaster-wielding trooper afater an indigant & blustery protest of treatment. There is no word as to how the Klingon settlement is faring. [*][b]One day[/b] after the report is received, the large Klingon force decloaks off K-10 & hails the station. General Plis'Qen is embarked aboard one of the [i]K't'inga[/i]s & he formally requests repair, resupply, & rest at the station as per his rights under the Organian Peace Treaty. He also asks for a moment of YOUR time, alone. Told you it was going to be big. [/QB][/QUOTE]
