[b]A)[/b] Limited choices... Generally, I can see no problems with anything Fabbie's stated. My only question is why worry about farming colonies, because in these days farming is not as essential to self-sufficiency as it once was, but what do I know? [b]B) I HAZ A FLEET.[/b] What's it look like? [list] [*]USS [i]Zhiao Lok[/i] (NCC-25662), [i]Excelsior[/i]-class explorer [*]USS [i]Nsenga[/i] (NCC-60497), <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5HtjQmKMnxcTDVMYnFzcS05X0E/edit?usp=sharing">[i]Rigel[/i]-class light cruiser</A> [*]USS [i]Vermont[/i] (NCC-55151), [i]New Orleans[/i]-class frigate [*]USS [i]Zheng Zhilong[/i] (NCC-33659), <a href="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060519171212/startrek/images/5/5b/CentaurClass.jpg">[i]Lirpa[/i]-class destroyer</A> [*]USS [i]Sumati[/i] (NCC-49890), <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5HtjQmKMnxcQnhEaEJjSFVoQ3M/edit?usp=sharing">[i]Zodiac[/i]-class</a> <a href="http://johneaves.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/goodson.jpg?w=655&h=393">destroyer</A> [*]USS [i]Ee'yun[/i] (NCC-15056), [i]Oberth[/i]-class science ship [*]USS [i]Aaron Satie[/i] (NCC-57622), [i]Olympic[/i]-class hospital ship [*]USS [i]Nionuko[/i] (NCC-23583), <a href="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/Illcadia/Zandura.jpg">[i]Prospero[/i]-class freighter</A> [/list] [b]B.1)[/b] That would be [i]Sumati[/i] being shadowed. Well, the Cardassians have taken no overt actions, so what is there to do? The [i]Hideki[/i] is there probably doing similar area patrols as my ship is (although they're also probably scouting E73 for their own nefarious purposes). I wonder if they're also trying to scan my station as well (now designated Deep Space 3)? I'll need some intel on that as well. PROCTOOOORR!! [b]B.2)[/b] I'll have to send out the welcome wagon. Or starship. Whichever. ...Actually, that's a really good idea. I'm detailing [i]Nsenga[/i] & [i]Vermont[/i] to escort the colonization convoys as the enter the sector & head to their destinations. [i]Nsenga[/i] will head to R047-III (to be named Baro Foro upon settling) & [i]Vermont[/i] to W440-IV (to be named Amanda). As for a recommendation for the 3rd colony , I was considering J123-III; however, I'm not liking the possible flanking maneuver that border negotiations might allow the Cardassians. Therefore, my recommendation is going to be for K484-V. It's essentially a pelagic planet, which affords great research & hydrofarming opportunities. On a defensive note, it's easier to hide things at the bottom of a seafloor than it is on open land. I realize selection of this site leaves sort of a gaping maw of openness should there be an attack through the nebula, but I think I can risk that with classic pincer-style defense actions should this occur. [b]B.3)[/b] Aaaand this is why we have science ships handy! Dispatch [i]Aaron Satie[/i] to Iadara forthwith to assist in medical & personitarian aid. [b]B.4)[/b] Can we say "colonization convoy"? Or more likely, "invasion force"? Why do I have shitty intel from there? Who's running this place? PROCTOOOORR!! Le sigh. Alright, well...[i]Sumati[/i] is already in the area as part of her patrol course; I bet this is why that [i]Hideki[/i] was keeping an eye on her. I'm directing [i]Zhiao Lok[/i] to rendezvous with [i]Sumati[/i], officially to show the flag some & unofficially to collect as much information as they can [i]without being detected.[/i] The how is up to the discretion of [i]Zhiao Lok[/i]'s captain, the senior officer in charge. Don't piss off the neighbors, but get me that information on the force & whatever you can on that planet. For the flag-showing, don't be offensive, but be defensive if the need arises. [b]C)[/b] Here's the thing: I think they're already pissed because we've started laying claim to some two-thirds of the sector. As far as I'm concerned, if there's no strategic or tactical need to System L860, let them have it. Honestly, I'd like to see the line drawn along "our" side of the nebula, along the colony chain I've been establishing, even to the point of conceding E73 to them. That nebula is my primary concern, though: if we give it to them, they can use it for a secret staging area; if we keep it to our selves, they'll say the same thing. My suggestion would be to split the border [i]around [/i] the nebula, making it a neutral buffer area. In the negotiations, include a clause that while vessels from either government can enter enter it, it cannot be utilized for military purposes--scientific research only, & that coming with proper notification of the other. Talk about joint science operations might rile them some...but we might also gain some contacts in that allegedly moribund Cardassian Science Ministry that could be useful in the long term. [b]D)[/b] A small Klingon task group (2 [i]B'Rel[/i]s & a [i]K't'inga[/i]) decloaks outside your base's defense perimeter & requests rest & resupply as reaffirmed per the recent 2nd Khitomer Accords. While the Klingons are making use of the base's facilities you hear word from your staff that they are boasting loudly about an encounter with a Cardassian patrol group some 4 days ago--a patrol group that you have learned from your intelligence briefings has been discovered destroyed by the Cardassian search parties. Explain the ramifications of this information, its potential usefulness and/or detriments, & how you plan to utilize it or not & why. [/QB][/QUOTE]
