[QUOTE]Originally posted by Neutrino 123: [QB] Question 7: I�m glad a treaty prevented a full scale war. The spirited defense by the Federation will hopefully serve to prevent future incidents, as well as strengthen the alliance with the Klingons. Apparently the Superb failed to make contact with the Zemch. The captain clearly needs a refresher first contact course (being a combat captain, he/she/it probably just tried to use regular subspace channels�grumble grumble�no subtlety), which will go on the permanent record� Nevertheless, this allows first contact to be made in a friendlier setting. I don�t see why the Semmans shouldn�t be allowed to participate. They have gathered information on the Zemch, which should actually improve the first contact situation. Since the Zemch have subspace communications, a subspace message (or another message if that fails) could be sent asking for a meeting, which as admiral, I should personally attend. If we can�t seem to get through to them fairly quickly, then we�ll just land a runabout near their warp facility. Scientists should be less scared then other citizens, especially warp scientists. As another note on the Zemch, since they were able to achieve warp drive so quickly after the subspace breakthrough, they must be a very united people, and their desire for exploration seems to indicate that they have similar principles to the Federation. Formal negotiations with the Semmans should be a benefit for the entire sector. If their interests are indeed similar to the Federation, a sector defense alliance may be possible, or even incorporation of them into the Federation over the long term. The Gorn now have a permanent presence in this sector, but what kind of presence will it be? If they are just making a colony, then it is not much of a threat. However, if the Gorn also (or perhaps just) build a military base, defense preparations will have to be stepped up. At any rate, an increase in readiness and defenses will need to be made all along the Gorn border, as they have proven themselves to be blatantly aggressive. The Dorzans have slaughtered their own citizens, and almost killed Federation citizens along with them. I would think that if the Semmans evacuated them, this would be detected (they would need some kind of ship), thus allowing the Runnymede and Sofia to stand aside, preventing direct conflict with the Dorzans. Nevertheless, this will mean a certain rejection of Dorzan Federation membership. Diplomatic relations will be maintained, of course, but they will be very cool, similar to Federation-Cardassian relations during the occupation of Bajor. This will no doubt restrict trade with them. Furthermore, the is no longer any need to preserve additional colonization areas for the Dorzans, and the other stars in the area that are part of Federation territory can be colonized at leisure. Finally, the Dorzans must continue to be monitored closely. They are extremely unstable, and may stupidly attack someone in this area with hardly any provocation. Recommendations: Military presence should be stepped up in this sector with a Defiant (the Superb can remain) and a patrol ship (roughly Sabre-equivalent in capability) to patrol the Gorn border. The Runnymede can remain to cover the rest of the sector (and perhaps parts of adjacent sectors). They Oberth and Istanbul can remain, though the new job of the Istanbul will be to transport things to the Zemch that they request (I would think that after first contact, the Federation must have some program to bring the new race up to standards in technology before admittance to the Federation). The Oberth will assist in Zemch and Federation colonization efforts. Materials for construction of embassies should be delivered for Semma and Zemch Prime (the Semman embassy constructed in careful consultation with the Semmans). There should also be plenty of defense equipment delivered and the response time for delivering additional forces to this sector decreased (as with all Gorn border sectors). Finally, the starbase should be moved closer to the Zemch and Semmans, preferably in Zemch territory with their permission. I certainly would want to stay in this sector in the near future. There are many things to do before I would want to leave: 1. There may still be hope for the Dorzans. They were quick to attack, and may be just as quick to condemn that action. This could even be the beginning of rather fast social chance. 2. Diplomatic relations need to be established with the Semmans � carefully! 3. First contact with the Zemch needs to be prepared. 4. Defenses need to be prepared. As well as other possibilities that I mentioned above. Good game! [/QB][/QUOTE]
