[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] A) The priorities of a Starfleet presence in the Alpha sector, in order of precidence, are: 1) to maintain the Prime Directive. 2) to foster peace and understanding among the three inhabited worlds of the sector, and between each of them and the Federation. 3) to attempt to initiate peaceful contact with the mysterious aliens. This will only be done after all defensive measures have been implemented, and then will be done in a totally non-invasive way, i.e. sending an automated message to the edge of their space announcing our presence and intentions. 4) to explore unknown regions of the sector. B) As the presence of a starbase should foster the above goals, it should not be placed in any inhabited system, lest we discourage contact with one race by appearing to favor another. We should not place the starbase near the border, to avoid any appearance of hostile intent. I propose that the starbase be constructed at a point half-way between Tekanan III and Kestu IX. This allows the starbase to be placed on a potential trade route, in addition to being a central location in the sector. C) My proposed fleet will have the following primary directives: 1) to defend the starbase against attack. 2) to defend trade routes against piracy 3) to implement a scanning and communication infrastructure 4) To explore the sector Secondary directives: 1) There will be at least two ships stationed along the border at all times, with the tasks of infrastructure implementation, front-line defense, and possible first-contact duties. 2) There will be at least two vessels patroling inter-system trade routes at all times. 3) There will be at least two vessel at or near the starbase at all times. 4) There will be at least one vessel stationed near the Tekanan and Lysarra systems at all times. 5) All vessels will, when at or conveniently near an appropriate location, offload an unmanned communications relay/sensor post. Implementation: The trade route patrols will be handled by three Intrepid-class starships, with two on duty at all times. The third will be either at starbase, or relieving an Excelsior at the border. The border patrols will be handled by by two Excelsior-class starships in a two-on, one-off rotation pattern. Their relief will be one of the Intrepid-class vessels. The localized trade patrols will be handled by two Nebula-class starships in a two-on, one off- rotation pattern. Their relief will be the Ambassador-class vessel. The fleet will thus consist of the following: Three Intrepid-class vessels. Two Excelsior-class vessels. Two Nebula-class starships. One Ambassador-class starship. This ship will be the sector flagship. In the event that a full diplomatic team is required in any location, they will travel aboard this ship. It will also serve to transport flag officers, or other VIPs. Otherwise, it will remain stationed at or near the starbase, or act as relief for one of the Nebulas in their near-system trade patrols. One large, multi-function transport ship. This will originally be used for placing sub-space relays/sensor pods in appropriate locations, in conjuction with the rest of the fleet. After that task is complete, it will be used for mass evacuations of planetary colonies, the transport of cargo, etc. It is to carry two Danube-class runabouts, for transportation and, if necessary, defense. One science vessel (Nova class). This ship will be assigned to explore first the uninhabited system southeast of Kestu IX, then the binary star south of it, and finally the RBN, before returning to base for refit and further orders.
