[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] OK...here we go... [b]1a)[/b] (From Timo) [i]Let's say the Klingons want to open trade with the Kestu, too, and have exactly what they want to buy: cheap weaponry of 24th century standard. The Klingons are cheapskates, though, and trade through the existing spacelanes, using Lysaran assets. Lysarans know their citizens do their share of gunrunning, but insist it's an internal matter. When you inspect a few ships, the Lysaran privateers start to sail outside the 'lanes. It also seems they are using cloaking devices now. The Tekanans insist that the smuggling be stopped, and the Kestu escalation ended. If the Feds won't do it, they'll ask somebody else - say, the Romulans might like to have their share of the Tekanan resources AND foil the Klingon plans. Who do you hit and how, to stop the crisis from escalating? How can you stop cloaked smugglers?[/i] [b]1b)[/b] (From David Templar) [i]The redistribution of naval forces in the sector has left the trade routes all but unprotected. Despite the increased tension, races like the Lysaraian still maintain a good deal of trade to support their economy. That trade is now being threatened like never before. The Lysaraian Monarch is faced with the tough choice of either guarding the nebula-facing region, or the trade routes. He chooses the nebula. As a result, the powerful trade guilds of Lysara began actively challanging the Monarch. Civil unrest ensues, and there is much division inside the Monarch's court. All in all, the government of Lysara effectly grinds to a halt. Fearful of negative opinion from the Federation and the reprecussion from the trade guilds of using force to quell the unrest, the Monarch has asked for your help.[/i] [b]2)[/b] [i]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. [/i] All of this seems to be linked together. [b](A)[/b] Recall [i]Laxness[/i] from the border to a point just outside Lysaran space where she'll run scan ops with [i]Lagos[/i], who's been recalled from convoy duty (since there's no more convoys) & whose captain is familiar with the Lysaran trade guilds & politics. The remaning scout, [i]Schwegel[/i], will conduct intel gathering, feeding the info through [i]Lagos[/i]. Until we can determine exactly what's going on, who killed what, who's behind what, we can't take more than this posture. [b](B)[/b] [i]Ashburnipal[/i] to the Kestu spacelanes to investigate claims of smuggling. Given the Kestu involvement in Lysaran politics now & the Klingon claims, there's something hinky here. Why would they want to undermine the region, though? It's not like a Federation presence would bother them, esepcially given post-Dominion War relations. Is it really the Empire or just a couple of houses? As for stopping cloaked smugglers, I'd like to see if there's any way to get at some of the captured Jem'Hadar anticloak technology or anything reverse-engineered from that. As regards investigation & help, I'd request a special envoy from our friends over in the Ferengi Alliance to be dispatched to examine the poltico-economic situation at hand; they might be able to see something we can't, a nuance we'd never pick up on. [b]C)[/b] Blockade of Kestu. Simple as that. [b]3)[/b] I'd prefer to have the Tekanan fleet complement mine, but they seem to be of the antsy nature. I'd guide them, but not give them access to current tech levels; nothing past 2320s-era technologies. In guiding them, I'd also like to see if I can steer them away from the warship road & more towards the explorer path. This would not only allow them to defend themselves, but be able to take a place in exploiting the resources & information of the region & perhaps over the border as well. [/QB][/QUOTE]
