[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] [QUOTE]Objectively critique one of the other participants’ answers to part (E) of the previous question. Point out any strengths or weaknesses in their strategy, and feel free to examine the underlying political or philosophical assumptions of that strategy.[/QUOTE]Federation law and Starfleet regulations require providing assistance to a ship in distress; this situation certainly appears to require a response. Further, swift, forceful action now may appease both sides to the point where a war between both sides might be avoided. [QUOTE]The first convoy has its own escort (two New Orleans-class frigates), but Starfleet has ordered you to redeploy your fleet to protect future convoys. The ships will be entering the sector from the “eastern” border, near system Z436. Although the Nillavi will contribute to the escort, they can only spare two of their patrol cruisers, and they’d prefer to keep them as close to their own territory as possible. Describe how you will reassign your ships to protect this new shipping route.[/QUOTE]With the Tzenkethi relatively quiet, and sensor beacons fully placed on the sector's border, I will deploy [i]Arcturus[/i] and [i]Towson[/i] from their current patrol to convoy duty [QUOTE]It’s time to start picking up the pieces. Following the recent confrontations, two of the largest nation-states on Qorn have decided to form an alliance with the T’g’nari. Although the T’g’nari aren’t exactly turning into expansionists, they’re not very happy with the Federation or the Nillavi, and see this alliance as a necessary evil. Two T’g’nari warships are sent to patrol in the Qorn system, and a handful of trade ships are seen traveling the route between the two planets. React to this shift in the political landscape, and describe how you will redeploy your fleet, if necessary.[/QUOTE]I am going to move the [i]Maryland[/i] to Senec, where she and the [i]Aba-Kur[/i] can provide a response force in case the T'g'nari and the Qorn team up or something... [QUOTE]Your research team studying the proto-saurians on Oasis files their report. The species in question is not sentient, and though their evolution definitely seems to be taking them in that direction, it’ll likely take a few million years. Though the decision is not up to you, your report will likely influence the decision makers. Do you believe this qualifies Oasis for Prime Directive protection? If so, outline a plan to “de-colonize” the planet. Assume that the report has not yet been made public, and that it may not be popular with all the settlers. If you don’t believe the Prime Directive applies, explain why not.[/QUOTE]My report will outline the situation and I will ask my staff to identify similar situations which have occurred in the past so that they can be referenced; my feeling is that, at a minimum, the Federation should restrict the colony's growth. [QUOTE]It’s time to move on. Starfleet has decided to send you on to a new sector, and to replace you with a fresh Admiral to continue your work. As your last duty in this sector, you are to brief the new guy about what you’ve done. Read over your responses to all the previous questions. Define what Starfleet’s priorities should be in this sector, and your recommendations to your replacement as to what he or she should concentrate on.[/QUOTE]Priorities are: 1.) Ensure the defense of the sector against the Tzenkethi 2.) Ensure that the conflict between the T'g'nari and Qorn, Nillavi, and the Federation do not explode into open warfare; promote harmony and understanding between these races. 3.) Continue to oversee the Federation's assistance to the Nillavi; if successful, this mission may strongly influence the Nillavi to join the Federation. [QUOTE]It's been quite a while since I did a scenario like this (last time was over at the SCN forums in 2004, I think). I didn't go into this planning any overarching agenda, things kinda developed as they went. What did you guys like, or not like? I dunno if we have enough people for another round-- I'll give it a few weeks to let Fabrux and Omega catch up if they want, and see if I get any inspiration for a new scenario.[/QUOTE]I was not expecting the Tzenkethi to be such a red herring! I would have enjoyed if more of the scenarios had been expanded on in later questions -- what WAS the convoy to Nillavi? I assume it was cargo ... all in all, I really enjoyed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
