[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] [b]QUESTION TWO[/b] (FOUR PARTS) [i]Additional background[/i]: For those wondering about the Jovali ships and why they’re advanced compared to their apparent level of technology, assume that they are older-tech (but not old) ships that were retrofitted during the Dominion War with modern weapons and shields. That technology was purchased or traded for, mostly from non-Federation sources (including the Ferengi). While they have the firepower of their mentioned counterparts, they do not have the speed or range. However, they are really big, and require crews in the thousands. Also, Starfleet has accepted your recomendations for fleet composition and deployment. The fleet's on its way and will get here in time for the next question. Unfortunately, any manned station outside of the Jovalis zone if you'd ordered the upgrading of DS12 cannot be done. BTW, while Deep Space 12 should technically be relabelled Starbase 592, everyone continues to call it DS12 for sentimental reasons. A) Captain Nall has spent longer as a starship captain than you likely have in your whole career. Over a mug of Raktajino, the two of you amicably debate the differences between the responsibilities of a Captain and an Admiral in Starfleet. One of the key differences is of course the emphasis in tactical or strategic planning, as the case may be. Nall challenges you to flex your smaller-picture mind by asking how you would defend DS12 and an attack on Jovalis. Typically this sort of plan would be for the DS12 CO, but she’d like to see what your thoughts are. Presented thus is a map of the Jovalis Orbital Zone, with all major real estate marked accordingly. The Deyal and Piranti colony groups, and the Piranti construction area are all in LaGrange points around the first major Jovalisi moon (there are eleven more such moons of varying sizes and types, orbiting further out). The Cluster is a group of colonies that was established around a small, resource-rich moon, which has since been broken up and used to create those colonies. Given the resources at hand, determine your response to: 1. up to half of the Cardassian threat forces in the sector, 2. up to twenty smaller vessels as though from a Maquis attack, or 3. just for fun, a Borg sphere entering the system. Assume that beyond your starship resources already there (your fleet has not yet arrived, and DS12 has not been upgraded), you have a number of shuttles and no more than a half-dozen runabout-sized craft, and a dozen or so lightly-armed Jovalisi freighters. Be sure to note what the objectives of the attacking force would nominally be, and thus how to best respond to that situation. B) The following are several situations that occur on your watch. For each scenario, describe what the nearest (or most relevant) starship to that event should be, what that ship should do in response, and how your fleet status could or should change as a result. Describe also any diplomatic efforts your staff should be making. NOTE: Assume that events from one scenario will not directly affect the others. 1. The first Federation delegation arrives in the sector to welcome its new member world. Several of the delegation wish to tour the sector to meet key parties on all the worlds, including a diplomatic mission to Bifour IV at the invitation of their government. Recommend how the delegates should go about their plan, which of your assets should be used, and how the rest of them should be deployed. The delegates arrive aboard the USS [i]Ki[/i], an Intrepid-class starship, and will return to the core systems on another ship. The [i]Ki[/i] is on her way through Bifour space (with their permission) to explore the sectors beyond. 2. Miscalculating a warp equation, one of the Jovali cruisers creates a wormhole and drops itself right in the middle of the Pink Nebula, where it is disabled. The Jovali ask for help; however, Cardassian ships are closer and offer to respond. The Jovali aren’t terribly fond of the Cardassians. 3. The “duck blind” ground station is raided by pirates. They steal the station’s cloaking device, cloak suits (“Insurrection”), and bioneural computer system. The pirate ship escapes, integrating the cloak into their shields. The mission crew cleverly bumps their heads in the right places and are hiding among the population, but need help before they are found out. C) Create another scenario like the ones presented in part (B). Any reasonable military, political or scientific scenario is acceptable. However, DO NOT ANSWER the scenario yourself. Rather, it will be answered by the others as part of Question Three. [i]Additional[/i]: Assume that your fleet has yet to arrive. D) The USS [i]Ki[/i] fails to check in on the far side of Bifour space. She sent a regular report through the DS12 comm network on schedule when she was more than halfway through their space, but they are more than a week late with their scheduled report. All the Bifour Cadassian ships are accounted for, and they report their last contact with the [i]Ki[/i] a couple days after their last check-in. The Cardassians realize that you will want to send someone in to search for them and will let you do so; however whatever you send in will be escorted by one of their Hidekis who will aid in the search. Detail your plans, deployments, and search priorities. [/QB][/QUOTE]
