[QUOTE]Originally posted by Fabrux: [QB] [b]Question One[/b] A: Starfleet's priorities in this sector should be to support the well-being of all inhabitants and encourage co-operation between all political entities. To that end, diplomatic envoys should be sent to the Nillavi and the T'g'nar to inform them of our intent to set up a starbase in the sector. Determining their claims in the sector will be key in future relations, as well as informing them of the current galacto-political events. Should the Tzenkethi send envoys to the T'g'nar and/or Nillavi, we could have some interesting events forthcoming. Thorough patrols of all the uninhabited systems in the sector should be a routine in the event that the Tzenkethi decide the sector is appealing to them and try to set up a raiding base. The Great Drift appears to be relatively lacking in information and warrants a detailed look. May also be a good hiding spot for Tzenkethi or perhaps rogue spatial/temporal anomalies (hey, you never know). The relationship with Qorn is a bit of a grey area. They are pre-warp but have already been contacted by the Senac. Further information on how to handle this situation would be desirable, but trading in foodstuffs may be possible. Certainly no technology. Support for the colonists on Oasis and bringing the Senac up to date with the current Federation average technological level is also high on the priority list. B: I would like to park the Kedmar Starbase in the same system as Oasis. Not necessarily in orbit of Oasis, one of the other planets may be suitable depending on their disposition. Placing the starbase in a non-inhabited system would unnecessarily distance Starfleet resources from Oasis and Senac and may infringe on territorial claims by the Nillavi or the T'g'nari. C: My transport to this system is the USS [i]Zutshi[/i] NCC-62546. I would request the following ships from SF Command for efforts in this sector: USS [i]Hollander[/i] NCC-59817, Oberth class USS [i]Ellyson[/i] NCC-59841, Oberth class These two ships will survey The Great Drift as well as updated surveys of the uninhabited systems. USS [i]Kaamil[/i] NCC-69737, Freedom class USS [i]Beresford[/i] NCC-70136, Freedom class USS [i]Atieno[/i] NCC-70211, Freedom class USS [i]Mayette[/i] NCC-70329, Freedom class These four ships will patrol the sector, split into quadrants. Each ship will be assigned a 5x5 region based on the provided map, taking care not to infringe on T'g'nari or Nillavi sovereign claims: -USS [i]Kaamil[/i] in the upper left quadrant, home port Oasis; -USS [i]Beresford[/i] in the upper right, home port Oasis; -USS [i]Atieno[/i] in the lower right, home port Senac, and; -USS [i]Mayette[/i] in the lower left. home port Senac. The [i]Beresford[/i] will also provide support to the [i]Hollander[/i] and [i]Ellyson[/i] in their investigations of The Great Drift. USS [i]Kaamil[/i] will also provide escort and interdiction duties for traffic traveling to/from Oasis. USS [i]Atieno[/i] will also be responsible for monitoring trade traffic with the Qorn. USS [i]Mayette[/i] will have the most difficult patrol, keeping a wide berth around the T'g'nari. Additional vessels include: USS [i]Franjo[/i] NCC-69518, Istanbul class USS [i]Kaifeng[/i] NCC-69764, Istanbul class (see ASDB for design) These two ships will provide transport duties for goods within the sector as well as deploy sensor buoys on the trade routes between Oasis-Nillavi, Oasis-Senac, Nillavi-Senac, Senac-Qorn, and in the general vicinity of a route between Senac-T'g'nar. USS [i]Marc Antony[/i] NCC-56611, New Orleans class USS [i]Aarchun[/i] NCC-59322, Korolev class (also see ASDB) These two will be the heavy hitters and showing the flag in the sector, divvying up the sector roughly in half between them. They will also be available for fast-response to any trouble spots that might come up. I plan on transferring my command to the [i]Marc Antony[/i], leaving the [i]Zutshi[/i] to be attached to the diplomatic envoy team. [b]Question Two[/b] I'll be criticising Snay's response for part A. A.a) I applaud further exploration of The Big Drift, however I'm a little leery of the suggestion of profiling the Nillavi society. I think we should be a bit more open minded with the approach to their potential membership and answer any concerns they may have about joining the UFP. Meeting with the governments of all sovereign states in the sector is indeed a key priority, however deailing with the T'g'nari may not go well. I believe that any meetings arranged with the governments of these nations should be done through the Senac, who seem to be the default go-betweens of the sector. The T'g'nar wish to be left alone, but I would be hesitant to say they have no interest in the sector. They may decide to expand their sphere of influence without notice or justification, something that should certainly be monitored. A.b) Can't really argue with the logic of placing the starbase in the Oasis system. Although, given the delicate situation we find ourselves in this sector, I think the management and outfitting of this starbase should be less SB375 and more DSK7. A.c) Only using one ship to chart The Big Drift seems like it may prolong the mission unnecessarily and invite shenanigans to a lone science vessel. B: Due to the skirmish, the [i]Marc Antony[/i] and the [i]Atieno[/i] have been delayed. My command will remain on the [i]Zutshi[/i] while the [i]Aarchun[/i] will handle the diplomatic envoy team. The [i]Zutshi[/i] will handle the [i]Atieno[/i]'s patrol in the lower right quadrant. C: Starbase is in the Oasis system, everyone is happy. (By my reckoning, Oasis is at least 3-4 ly from Nillavi claims). D.1) I take the [i]Zutshi[/i] over to Senac to ask how things are going with the Qorn and if they need any assistance. D.2) The [i]Mayette[/i] sends a message to both the distressed T'g'nari warship as well as the T'g'nari homeworld asking if they may be of assistance, all the while heading towards the stricken warship on yellow alert. D.3) Freedom class sensors aren't necessarily the best equipped for identifying weapons testing. I divert the [i]Ellyson[/i] to within scanning range of the area identified by [i]Beresford[/i], all the while sending the [i]Beresford[/i]'s sensor logs to Kedmar 'Base for further analysis. E) While scanning The Great Drift, your vessel detects what appears to be an old spaceship, dating approximately from the time of the initial colonization of the Nillavi cluster. Despite all efforts to keep this information under wraps until further analysis can be performed, both the Senac and the Nillavi find out about this vessel and lay claim to it as a lost exploration vessel. How do you handle these claims? [/QB][/QUOTE]
