[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [QB] Righto, sorry for the delay (again). I'm finishing my thesis this week for an early May deadline, so please excuse my tardiness. Ok, where were we? A) I'll go for Shik then. I can't see anything wrong with the questions you've asked, nor with the choice to expand 'Southwards', which helps define Fed space as the right hand side of the board, good for drawing a boarder. Your colony placement is clever, exhibiting a note of caution but at the same time allowing for possible explanation, contraction or defence, as you see fit. I also like the idea of a medical ship, that's a nice touch and will probably be useful. B.1) Starfleet command has given me six ships in addition to the Renown which I arrived with: * USS RENOWN (Excelsior class, Explorer) NCC-2543 * USS WELLINGTON (Niagara Class, Light Cruiser) NCC-33821 * USS HOKKAIDO (New Orleans Class, Frigate) NCC-65492 * USS ROTHERHAM (Yorkshire Class, Transport) NCC 54923 * USS OUAGADOUGO (Istanbul Class, Heavy Transport) NCC-38531 * USS WALKER (Ranger Class, Light Scout) NCC-7112 * USS MOORE (Oberth Class, Science Vessel) NCC-619 The Renown has reported a shadow. We don't know their intent, but if they are a Hideki class, then they are out gunned by the Renown and likely know it. They may also be on a patrol, but why follow our patrol? They are probably just being deliberate twats, trying us on to see what we do. I'll order the Renown to drop passive sentry probes to determine the fleet and if they are scanning us. Hopefully they won't notice. B.2) Colonising has begun on H57 VI and J123 III. J123 III is being assisted by the Ouagadougou, H57 VI by the Rotherham and Hokkaido. The Governor of H57 VI reports that by a popular vote the name of the planet is Shawaddywaddy. J123 III has not reported any name yet. Renown shall continue to patrol SW, around systems E73 and J123, with Hokkaido taking up a Minos Korva - H57 patrol after helping establish the colony. Moore can keep an eye on G38, which (mostly to create a boarder this side of the Nebula) I am suggesting for the next colony. Wellington can fly the flag 'up north' while Walker can explore K484 for colony suitability. B.3) Dispatch war rocket Ajax, to bring back his body. Or Wellington to assist with aid, whatever is needed. B.4) That's cool with me, I thought they'd want that system and they can. The one that worries me is T512, which is too close to Iadara for comfort but might be well suited climatically to the Cardassians. What I do want to know is the size of the force, so the Renown can alter it's patrol to scan them at the longest range they can get useful reconnaissance at. No point in getting into a fight yet... C) It worries me that they want the North of the sector, as it brings them very close to us. I foresee a meandering boarder that will encompass R186, T512, T814, R047 & the nebula, plus perhaps G40 and even G52. Taking the nebula could give them a huge tactical advantage with the nebula acting as a staging area for incursions, or simply drawing our attention because of our fears and leaving us vulnerable elsewhere. I suspect if we attempt to take it by force it could be an excuse for a fight, or even a war. Taking the mentioned systems could make it difficult for us to move around the sector freely, especially if they take G40 and G52, which I suggest we secure first. I suggest should we need to bargain, we offer them R73, which might make us loose face, but cold buy up peace. They are unlikely to want to colonise K484, but it might make strategic sense for them to do so. I anticipate a grab on W440, which might cut our direct lines between H57 and e73. D) Reports (second hand via traders) suggest that Cardassians have been transporting 'political prisoners' into the region. However it is likely that these are in fact slave labourers brought in to help colonise L860. We have no direct evidence, but there are indications that the Xepolites are aware of this and turning a blind eye to the captains of these transports docking at their station, and may even be permitting the trading of slaves. What potential ramifications does this information have on your relations with the Xepolites, and how (if at all) will you act upon it? [/QB][/QUOTE]
