[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] 1) [i]Given the answers in Part (4) of the previous question, answer any TWO of the situations presented.[/i] Well, it was never said that I can't review my own scenario, so... :D i) [i]The Kestu have attacked and destroyed a Lyssaran transport. They claim that the captain of the ship who attacked the freighter was acting against policy, and is now acting as a rogue. The Lyssarans, who do not believe this, are threatening to cut off all trade with the Kestu unless the captain, ship, and crew are all turned over to them. The Kestu say that this is not a possibility under any circumstances.[/i] The Excelsior and one of the Intrepids will have their patrol schedules adjusted so that they will search the trade lanes for the location of the raider. Leave for the other Intrepids and the Nebulas will be canceled until such time as the situation is resolved. I have full confidence that either the Intrepid or the Excelsior could easily outrun or outgun a single Kestu ship. Their orders will be to disable and capture the vessel, and return it to the starbase, where its officers will be held for trial. The crew will be allowed to return home if they chose. With both the Kestu and the Lyssarians asking for the rogue, I would propose a compromise: three legal experts from each of Lysara, Kestu, and Tekanan will be chosen at random to form a jury, with a Starfleet judge presiding over the trial. The trial will be held on the starbase, that being neutral territory. All the worlds must agree to abide by the decision of the jury, or the prisoners will be removed from the sector and tried by a Federation court elsewhere. This will be their only chance to take part in the judgement, and I believe that they will take it. If successful, it will help form a closer judicial tie between the three worlds, as well as bringing a just conclusion to the incident. ii) [i]The Kestu government is facing a revolution. With the Kestu people witnessing the prosperity of the Federation and the other two worlds, many on Kestu want change. A civil war is likely to break out and the Kestu officials are blaming the recent Federation activity in the area. It is threatening to break off trade if the Federation continues to keep so many ships in the sector on patrol, which the Kestu government is comparing to imperialism. What do you do?[/i] Diplomacy is the only option. I will offer my assistance in mediating negotiations between the factions, and I will not allow the conflict to spread to other systems or to interrupt trade. If it becomes necessary, I will cut off all trade with Kestu until the war is settled. Kestu will see that their only hope of survival is through trade, and that their only hope of trade is through peace. They will start negotaitions, which may lead to a more diplomatic government for the Ketsu. [i]2) In rapid succession, two events occur: first is the collapse of the monarchy on Lysara, with the Monarch being assassinated without a clear heir. Economic and social unrest erupt planetwide. Then, one week later, the Kestu Fleet mentioned previously take up positions in orbit of the planet and commence beaming troops and personel to one country on Lysara, which has announced that it has sought their help to guard their borders from the other countries. As this happens, two other countries on that planet ask for the smae thing, and two more ask for Federation assistance. a) Detail what your fleet movement would have been when you first heard of the assassination, and how that deployment may change once the Kestu fleet showed up.[/i] I would deploy the my Excelsior flagship to Lysara. All leave for the Intrepids and Nebulas would be canceled. Patrols would be shifted nearer to Lysara. If the Kestu fleet showed up, they would NOT be allowed to land troops on the planet under any circumstances. Interference is unacceptable. One Nebula would be divirted to trade patrol duty, and two Intrepids would be divirted to back up the flagship. [i]b) What would your recomendations be to Starfleet in the report you will send to them? What investigations, if any, would you perform first? If you feel the need to ask for help, what form of help would you request?[/i] My recommendation would be that no interference in the fracturing of Lyssaran society be allowed under any circumstances. I would request the return of my Ambassador and second Excelsior to suppliment my fleet. [i]c) If the events in this question were reversed - that is, the Kestu fleet arrived in orbit first, and then the Lysaran monarch was assassinated, how would your answer in part (a) change?[/i] Difficult. How would the Lysaran fleet respond to an uninvited Kestan fleet's presence? [i]3) With the events on the other two planets, the Tekanans are even more nervous and have stepped up their program to rapidly build warp-capable warships of their own. They have asked for Starfleet assistance - assume that they can build anything up to, say, something equivalent to an Excelsior-class ship, and will have five ships of any kind ready within the next year. What would you recommend the Tekanans do with their fleet, and how would you redeploy your fleet to match, avoid, or complement this new force?[/i] I would suggest that they build an Excelsior-equivalint, three Intrepid-equivalents, and a Nova-equivalent. I would propose that they use an Intrepid to help patrol the border in conjunction with my Nebulas. I would further suggest that they use their Excelsior to perform local patrols of their system and the surrounding area in conjunction with one of my Intrepids. The remaining Intrepids would escort convoys and doing general route patrols. The remaining Nova could be sent to rendezvous with mine, to assist with scientific surveys and provide training for possible assimilation into Starfleet upon approval of their entry petitoin. Assuming that none of the other situations are occuring at the same time as this one, I would remove one of my Nebulas from border patrol and assign it to patrol the area around Lysara. I would assign one of the Intrepids to patrol the area around Kestu. One of the remaining Intrepids would be sent to assist and train the Tekanan Excelsior in its local patrols. As usual, at least one ship stationed at starbase at all times, and with regular leave rotation. The extra ships provided by the friendly Tekanan fleet would relieve the strain caused by the removal of my Ambassador and Excelsior in Scenario 2, and allow me to return to my original fleet dispersal plans. It would also help prepare for the possible assimilation of the Tekanan fleet, and lead to stronger ties between us. [/QB][/QUOTE]
