[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] First, let's note the additions to my previously assembled fleet: [list] [*]USS [i]Zhiao Lok[/i] (NCC-25662), [i]Excelsior[/i]-class explorer [*]USS [i]Nsenga[/i] (NCC-60497), [i]Rigel[/i]-class light cruiser [*]USS [i]Vermont[/i] (NCC-55151), [i]New Orleans[/i]-class frigate [*]USS [i]Zheng Zhilong[/i] (NCC-33659), [i]Lirpa[/i]-class destroyer [*]USS [i]Sumati[/i] (NCC-49890), [i]Zodiac[/i]-class destroyer [*]USS [i]Ee'yun[/i] (NCC-15056), [i]Oberth[/i]-class science ship [*]USS [i]Aaron Satie[/i] (NCC-57622), [i]Olympic[/i]-class hospital ship [*]USS [i]Nionuko[/i] (NCC-23583), [i]Prospero[/i]-class freighter [/list] New additions: [list] [*]USS [i]Sermiligaaq[/i] (NCC-51390), [i]Steamrunner[/i]-class frigate [*]USS [i]Vikramaditya[/i] (NCC-60005), [i]New Orleans[/i]-class frigate [/list] Now, then... [b]A)[/b] So, essentially, they've just invaded Federation territory. That's brilliant. [i]Nsenga[/i] was in the region, so it would've been her spoofed by the [i]Galor[/i]. After-action reports say she disabled it enough to go after the [i]Hideki[/i], but that vessel left before [i]Nsenga[/i] could intercept. Ass. Since I have the two new ships, I'm posting [i]Sermiligaaq[/i] to blockade duty in the system itself, closer to Baro Foro & Te Kerav but not planet-bound. [i]Nsenga[/i] will take the outer picket on that duty, patrolling out past the heliosphere. Good thing I hadn't yet sent [i]Ee'yun[/i] to Te Kerav like I'd wanted, though. In the meantime, the haggis is in the fire for sure, & it's time to update the higher-ups about this...& maybe vent my rage a little. They are SO lucky I didn't order a hit on Kavnoor or Simperia! [b]B)[/b] I'd previously selected K484-V, & my choice stands. Why keep it, or select it in the first place? Simply put, a pelagic planet is a wonderful place for not just oceanographic research & hydroponic farming, but covert operations including but not limited to military research bases & intelligence gatrhering outposts, all to be hidden under the sea. In fact, plans for a listening post directed towards the Cardassian Union have already been underway; an intelligence collating station & various possible military science facilities have already been proposed once the colony is settled. The name agreed upon & filed with the Bureau of Colonization is Haiyang Long ( 海洋龙), translating as "ocean dragon". [b]C.1)[/b] Alright, do it. But be discreet. DISCREET, Sarah! I mean it! No heavy operations, no shootouts, nothing I'm going to have to explain away after the fact to either of the Commands, Central OR Starfleet. Get your information, extrract him if need be...but be discreet. [b]C.2)[/b] When you say "moving about", are they moving generally in the direction of our sector? Or is this perhaps preparation for an invasion elsewhere? What I want to know is, are we the target or is this incidental & we're on the fringe? ....You're sure they're not just putting down a rebellion? ...You don't think so. Grand. Alright, find out what you can. Use third-party assets if need be, but I want confirmed information, Commander, not hearsay, fluff, & unconfirmed rumors. [b]C.3)[/b] "An undetermined system". Damn. The only unclaimed worlds are now deep within what's been made Federation territory by dint of colonial expansion. So either we'll have an armed Cardassian colonization convoy strolling through Federation space...or they'll make a move on an already settled world. Fuck. Y'know what? Maybe...just MAYBE...there's a way out of this without military skirmishing. Contact Starfleet, & get me the Quadrant Commander as well as a high-level rep from the Diplomatic Corps. Maybe we can take a page from the old Organian treaty 85 years ago & set up a joint settlement on whatever world they're planning to head for. If we can get in touch with the Central Command soon enough, maybe they'll go for it in order to keep the local peace some. [b]C.4)[/b] No, it's a good idea. Just to make sure. But background checks only, & nothing so deep that they'll be noticed. If anything funny shows up, we'll decided where to go from there. This is a fucking powder keg, Sarah, & I'm full well certain that we'll be in the scrum soon enough. Let's try to avoid it as much a s possible, though. [b]D)[/b] This will be a two-segment exercise, to be held in the T614 system; its lack of life-bearing worlds will help deter placement of spying eyes. The first segment is divided into two parts. The first part will involved two of your smaller patrol-type ships defending against an incoming assault force comprised of a large cruiser, a smaller patrol-type ship, & several transports types. This will test reaction to an invasion fleet & help the Blue Team crew's practice combat when tied to a gravity well due to the need for staying near a planet, as well as allow the Red Team to develop its skills at commanding an invasion & having to shepherd a sizable slower landing convoy. The second part will switch the scenario: the formerly defending patrol vessels will now be attempting to escort the transport-type ships away from the planet, past a blockade by the cruiser/patrol pair. This tests the ability of the patrol vessels to look after their charges and engage the enemy in necessary combat, while the blockade force witll practice methods of ensure complete containment of the planetary population. Two weeks after these exercises, a task force comprising your two largest and two smallest line starships will spearhead a mock planetary assault against a defending force in order to gain valuable experience in these tactics. In Segment 1, both teams will practice again known Cardassian methods & techniques. In part 1A, the invasion force will operate along Cardassian methodologies until achievement of objective, whereupon it will be run again with the defenders utilizing those techniques. This will continue for part 1B, with the blockaders first playing the Cardassians, followed during the second runthrough by the blockade runners. The transport vessels for Segment 1 may be provided by temporary commandeering & use of local civilian ships. Defense of the planet in Segment 2 will be provided by automated defense drones running Cardassian battle strategies & tactics utilizing highly adaptive computer control. [/QB][/QUOTE]
