[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] QUESTION THREE (three parts) [QUOTE][b]Starships assigned to Sector Alpha:[/b] USS [i]Fredrickson[/i], [i]Excelsior[/i]-class, NCC-42111 USS [i]Agincourt[/i], [i]New Orleans[/i]-class, NCC-65183 USS [i]Thomas Paine[/i], [i]New Orleans[/i]-class, NCC-65530 USS [i]Champion[/i], [i]New Orleans[/i]-class, NCC-57476 USS [i]Delaware[/i], [i]Cheyenne[/i]-class, NCC-71019 USS [i]T'sao Chan[/i], [i]Springfield[/i]-class, NCC-57284 USS [i]Asimov[/i], [i]Springfield[/i]-class, NCC-57311 [URL=http://www.st-minutiae.com/temporary/admiral-1-2.jpg]Current Fleet Deployment, Version 1[/URL] [/QUOTE][b]1) Given the answers in Part (4) of the previous question, answer any TWO of the situations presented.[/b] [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]David Templar[/b]: 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.[/QUOTE]Simple. I tell the Lysarans that there's no cause for a full-fleet alert, and tell them to send their ships back on to commerce patrol duty. Just to keep them happy, though, I send the [i]Delaware[/i] and the [i]Thomas Paine[/i] out to keep an eye on the nebula for a week or two. [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]Harry[/b]: Kestan resistance groups, controlling a few countries on the planet, have united and now call themselves the Freedom Alliance and demand recognition and humanitarian aide by the Federation. The totalitarian regime warns the Federation that they will not tolerate any interference in what they call 'internal affairs' and threaten to attack Tekanan if necessary. Still, the rebels seem to have strong support networks around the Kestran globe.[/QUOTE]Hmm, this is a difficult decision. However, the Prime Directive must remain paramount -- this qualifies as a planetary civil war, and is by definition an internal affair. I won't get involved directly... but I WILL put some diplomatic pressure on the Kestu government to initiate some reforms, and acknowledge the democratic movements. [b]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.[/b] [URL=http://www.st-minutiae.com/temporary/admiral-1-3a.jpg]Current Fleet Deployment, Version 2[/URL] [URL=http://www.st-minutiae.com/temporary/admiral-1-3b.jpg]Current Fleet Deployment, Version 3[/URL] First, I'd call the Kestu on the fact that they just told the Federation to keep out of THEIR civil war, but now they're getting involved in the Lysaran's... The [i]Delaware[/i] and the [i]Fredrickson[/i] would be diverted to Lysara. (The [i]Thomas Paine[/i] is already in the vicinity.) However, their orders would not be to provide assistance to the Lysaran countries... but instead to prevent the Kestu from providing theirs. Should that be impossible, ONLY then would they provide support to the Lysarans. However, they are to make all attempts to avoid a direct confrontation with the Kestu. [b]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?[/b] I don't feel the need to ask for help... at this point, the conflicts are largely internal. I have no intention of fighting the Kestu, and I don't think they have any intention of fighting me. I WOULD check to see if the Kestu had any involvement in the assassination of the Lysaran monarch. [b]c) If the events in this question were reversed - that is, the Kestu fleet arrived in orbit first, and [i]then[/i] the Lysaran monarch was assassinated, how would your answer in part (a) change?[/b] If that were the case, then I would conclude that the Kestu had attacked a Federation ally. And then, I would use offensive measures to drive them away from Lysara, and do all I could to maintain order there. [b]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?[/b] I'd recommend that the Tekanan should gear their ships towards patrol and defense. They don't need to pack heavy offensive weaponry, but they need good defensive staying power and a fast warp drive. Five [i]Excelsior[/i]-equivalents would certainly be a welcome addition. It would free up my forces to perform more border sweeps, perhaps even send a ship to explore the northern frontier. [/QB][/QUOTE]
