[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] A couple of orders of business first: Shik, you get naming rights for the first two planets; W440 and R047. :) For the interests of consistency and clarity, these names will be "canonical" going forward for all players, and if/when there's need for a new map, the names will be included too. Also, I realized that I completely forgot to include this extra bit of supplemental information in the background info. It’s (maybe) pretty important when picking which planets to settle. My bad! —Shik, if you want to revise your systems based on this info, please go ahead! <h2>Supplementary Supplemental Info</h2><dl><dt>System R102</dt><dd>Planet II: Class L, notable variety of plant life, thin atmosphere</dd><dt>System T512</dt><dd>Planet IV: Class M, habitable but with an eccentric orbit, experiences more extreme seasonal climate changes</dd> <dt>System R047</dt><dd>Planet III: Class M, promising indications of valuable mineral resources</dd><dt>System G38</dt><dd>Planet IV: Class M, warmer than average with thick but habitable atmosphere</dd><dt>System J123</dt><dd>Planet III: Class M, temperate and stable climate, long growing season</dd><dd>Planet IV: Class M, cold but habitable</dd><dt>System E73</dt><dd>Planet VII: Class L moon orbiting Class J giant, possible outpost to support asteroid mining</dd><dt>System W440</dt><dd>Planet IV: Class M, negligible large fauna, local star experiences periodic flare cycles (planet is habitable with technological defenses and precautions)</dd><dt>System H57</dt><dd>Planet IV: Class M, temperate and stable climate, long growing season</dd><dt>System K484</dt><dd>Planet V: Class M, 85% ocean coverage, strong seasonal storms</dd><dt>System L860</dt><dd>Planet III: Class M, no useful details available, surveyed by long-range scan only</dd></dl><h2>Question Two</h2><ol style="list-style-type: upper-alpha;"> [*] Objectively critique one of the other participants’ answers to question one. Point out what you believe are the strengths and/or weaknesses in how the answer differs from yours. You may critique another answer which has already been critiqued. [*] The fleet you requested from Starfleet Command has been granted in full. All ships have arrived in the sector and are fully functional, and the station has been towed into position in your chosen location. The following scenarios develop during your first month in the Valten Sector. For each scenario, describe the nearest or most relevant starship(s), what your ships will do in response, and how your fleet deployment might change in response. Describe any diplomatic efforts your staff would undertake as well.[list=1] [*] Your starship on patrol closest to System E73 detects what at first appears to be a sensor glitch, then is determined to be a Cardassian [i]Hideki[/i]-class scout shadowing it. It seems to take no offensive action, but is believed to have been following your starship for at least three days. [*] The first two colony ships are entering the sector, and will be setting up shop on the planets based on your recommendation in the previous question. The Federation Colonization Bureau requests your recommendation for the location of the next colony, which will be set up in the coming months. Also, describe how the establishing of this new colony would or would not affect your current fleet deployment and strategy. [*] There’s a mining accident on Iadara. An equipment malfunction releases a cloud of industrial gases into the atmosphere, suffocating 23 miners who were in a nearby tunnel and forcing everyone nearby to take shelter indoors. Unfortunately, the cloud isn’t dissipating very quickly because the mine is located in a steep valley. The local authorities ask for immediate help with the cleanup. [*] Long-range sensors detect a number of ships, probably Cardassian, heading from Omekla to System L860. Telemetry is spotty but indicates several transport ships, and probably a [i]Galor[/i] cruiser as escort. [/list] </li> [*] Starfleet Command informs you that preliminary negotiations with the Cardassians have begun concerning the definition of the border with the Federation. Currently the negotiations are focused on much more populated sectors to the north; there’s been no discussions about the region near the Valten Sector. However, Starfleet would like your input; your recommendation will be included in a strategic report sent to the ambassadors involved in the negotiations. Describe where you think the border should lie, anticipating possible claims by the Cardassians, and justify your thoughts. [*] Create your own 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 other participants as part of the next set of questions.</ol> [/QB][/QUOTE]
