[QUOTE]Originally posted by Neutrino 123: [QB] Damn aggressive Gorn. We were supposed to fire first after they entered Federation territory and then instantly warp out. I suppose this plan was the only thing that saved the Hornet, but the Battleaxe and Quasar are now floating wrecks. Such nicely named ships too� what a pity� Now, though, the Federation and Gorn are at war! The Gorn and all other neighbors must realize that the Federation will defend every bit of its territory with an iron will (which is hopefully true, and will prevent additional wars and skirmishes). The current forces are sufficient for a delaying action, but if the starbase is to be held in the long-term, major reinforcements must, of course, be sent to this sector. With my plan I would think that the forces fired simultaneously (unless the Federation fleet was waiting outside Federation territory, in which case a staff officer�s head will roll), so the Gorn transport is hopefully disabled. At any rate, it was never expected that the Gorn could be prevented from entering the Zemch area if they wanted to, so the previous plans will be implemented. I will clarify one point, though. The mines are not scattered willy-nilly over space. They are deployed near important planets (though not the Zemch homeworld, which is considered their territory) and possibly other strategically valuable zones, if they exist. I thought this was obvious, but rereading my post, it wasn�t extremely clear (was too sleepy�). The mines are mobile, since fixed mines even near a planet would be unlikely to hit anything. It seems that the Semmans are still observing. Since repeated hails obviously aren�t being answered, they are not yet a factor in this battle. First contact should definitely be made with the Zemch. They deserve to know what�s going on, as the Gorn may seek to absorb them too. The Superb is already in the system, and will send an appropriate message: �Attention: Zemch vessel. We are not hostile to your species. However, we must inform you of an immediate threat to your world and people. The Gorn Empire is coming; our defenses are crumbling. You may be in immediate danger. Please respond.� The precise actions that follow depend on the exact situation on Zemch Prime. If they seem to have a stable government, basic weapons and other useful technology could be provided if it looks like the Gorn are heading there. Hopefully, though the Gorn will stay away from the Zemch. Critique of Timo�s Answer: Are you crazy? You just attacked Gorn ships in neutral space, starting a war! That�s probably why the Gorn entered your territory�hehe� Lots of ententes bluster and posture, but that is no excuse to attack, only to step up war preparations. The could be many instances where conflict is averted, after a buildup on the border. In this case, you properly read Gorn intentions, but nevertheless, in the eyes of Federations citizens, you committed an act of aggression, starting the war! [/QB][/QUOTE]
