[QUOTE]Originally posted by Neutrino 123: [QB] Question 6: 1. To answer Minutiaeman�s scenario, it seems that the Klingons are monitoring our colony for some reason since the colonies are a long distance apart. This in itself doesn�t really matter. There should be no secrets in the colony. However, the fact that shots were exchanged indicates a more serious problem. Future scouting parties should be more heavily armed, and ordered to challenge the Klingons verbally to avoid misunderstandings. Meanwhile, the colony�s sensor network should be extended, and scouts send to challenge any groups of Klingons arriving, assuming they venture into the colony�s actual territory . The Klingons should be told not to approach the colony unscheduled except for emergencies. To answer Herbshrump�s scenario, the species should most certainly not be eliminated. However, even a simple sensor network (including seismic sensors) should be able to detect these things before they get to the colony, allowing precautions to be taken. As a temporary measure, the India could probably transport them away whenever they get close. Meanwhile, Starfleet scientists and any biologists on the planet could attempt to come up with a more permanent solution to stop the rampages. 2. Two weeks after Part 1 Wait a minute, exactly how is an Oberth attacking the Klingons proof that the Federation is using raiders against the Klingons... Nevertheless, this certainly isn�t a welcome development. Unless the Klingons have somehow falsified the image (this would be checked), it appears that the Penxi raiders have captured the Nernst. The same thing MAY have happened to the Spanker, though it was probably destroyed trying to protect the Nernst (I suppose there is a small chance it got away). The Klingons should be informed, at any rate, as well as all other vessels in the area. As for the Klingon blustering, the best thing to do would be to let him bluster himself out. Even assuming the Federation was assisting the pirates, sending an Oberth into battle would be an idiotic idea (better used for scouting for targets...). 3. Four days afterward Damn it. There is nothing we can do about the blockade at the present. Fortunately, the agricultural colony should be self sufficient. However, they will begin to run out of very important things such as medical supplies eventually. India is in orbit around the planet, and should be able to look after the colony by itself for awhile. The blockade will need to be dealt with eventually, even if it means a big skirmish. 4. Five days afterward What? Only 25 ships? I�ll settle for no less then 200 ships of balanced sizes! This is what would be needed if both the Klingons and Penxi would need to be dealt with. However, I will be willing to settle for 100 if the Klingons start to become less hostile. Also, how did a commodore get command of 25 ships, including many powerful ships? Even 10 smaller ships would be quite a lot. Starfleet must need more flag officers. The commander of the Neulovimy should be recommended for promotion, having been able to face so many pirates at once (and the ship would join the new fleet). If commodore Hage is entrusted to such a large fleet, she is probably a good officer as well, but before any further promotions are considered, we will see how everyone handles themselves in battle. We will definitely NOT divide our forces. I will transfer my flag to the Endeavor. The Penxi raider base is the clear target. They have done much more damage then the Klingons, and attacking them may cause the Klingons the end their blockade. Partially to give false intelligence to the enemy, the initial course of the fleet will be towards Sobchak�s planet, but not directly towards it. We will pass just outside the Klingon�s blockade, and send a narrow beam message to each ship in their fleet something along the lines of, �We go to attack the Penxi raiders, the true enemy. Join us in battle if you are not cowards.� The fleet shall leave as soon as all ships refit and re-supply from their transit. 5. Two days afterward Damn Klingons. Federation ships will be publicly ordered to pursue pirates into Klingon space in this sector until the Klingons apologize to the neutrals and pay compensation. Meanwhile, the previously stated policy toward the neutrals would be continued. 6. Two hours afterward Crap! Stupid hyper-efficient sector guard. Why did they have 55% of their ships within range of one little area? At least they showed the Klingons that raids into Federation borders will be hotly contested even by little militia ships. We need more ships in this sector to make a show of force against the Klingons. 300 should do the trick. Nevertheless, the previous plan of attacking the Penxi base will continue. We need to make the problem with the Klingons go away, not expand the problem by destroying their forces right next to an even nastier enemy. 7. Three days afterward Poor India. It was due to be decommissioned next Tuesday... Surely this means war against the Penxi. It would be immediately be recommended to the government that they declare war, and I will take the liberty of putting the entire sector under war footing, including the Sector Guard, who will now defend only planet and essential convoys (nonessential transport runs will be prohibited, if legal). Plans for a strike to liberate Sobchak�s Planet will be made. It will be recommended to Starfleet Command that the Klingon border force be restructured as an anti-raiding force (the Klingons will be busy with the Penxi too) and that all newly available ships be sent here. I�ll remind Starfleet that the more forces I have, the fewer casualties we�ll take in the war. Since lives would DEFINITELY be saved by sending more ships, it is surely worth the cost of stripping other POTENTIAL trouble spots of ships. 400 should be sufficient. A strike on Sobshak�s planet should be completed soon if possible. It is possible if the Penxi have divided their ships over the two colonies, and Starfleet ships can approach and attack one group before the other can respond (and then quickly retreat after doing much damage). We don�t have enough ships to liberate the entire planet if the Penxi are concentrated without suffering at least major losses, and that�s assuming the Penxi haven�t send reinforcements, also that they couldn�t just retake the planet quickly due to the weakened Federation fleet�s state. 9. One week afterward Just as I suspected the Klingons are at war with the Penxi, so the border defenses can definitely be reduced. Did they attack civilian targets, or only government and military? 10. Two days afterward Slaughtering civilians? Surely the Federation will accept only the unconditional surrender of the Penxi. This should also force Starfleet to send more ships soon! Liberating Sobchak�s planet should be a priority task of this war. Nevertheless, we may want to strike at the Penxi �protrusion� into Federation territory first, possibly on the way to Sobchak�s planet. It would depend on exactly what the Penxi have in those planets. Destroying the Penxi fleet might be the main objective, but it is also important to destroy any bases they might have near Federation space. 11. One day afterward Ah, about time he showed up. We must coordinate war plans. His forces will be provisioned and fully refitted according to the treaty, and beyond, the moment the Klingons admit their mistake of intruding into Federation territory, violating the treaty, and apologize for destroying all those ships. We cannot let the Klingons get away entirely with such a bad deed, but to lesson the impact of our reasonable demands, we will now declare a full blockade of the Penxi, and offer to sign an agreement allowing our ships to operate and transfer through our territories for the duration of this war. To actually formulate a warplan, I must know of the location of known relevant Penxi facilities and ships, as well as any other useful Penxi-related intelligence. Also, what kinds of reinforcements can I expect, and will the Klingons divulge the strength of their fleets in this area, to better coordinate (the Federation would reciprocate)? If intelligance is lacking in any Penxi-related areas, fast scouts would be sent out on intelligance missions (perhaps the Klingons could help in this regard). [/QB][/QUOTE]
