[QUOTE]Originally posted by Fabrux: [QB] I'd like to join in, but running a little short for time at the moment so I'll just answer question one for now. This'll give Shik something to critique. ;) [b]Question One[/b] [b]A)[/b] It seems as though current policy is to enable the establishment of colonies for all those colonists wanting to make a fresh start. Therefore, I believe that Starfleet's mandate for this area should be to facilitate the colonization of desireable planets for the colonists and provide support for the first 18 months of settlement. This will hopefully stabilize the spotty border presently established with the Cardassian Union and maybe hold back their expansion into UFP interests. As mentioned by my colleague Admiral Shik, there are many gaps in provided information thus far. What are Cardassian expectations for a border? Do they want some kind of buffer between the UFP and their interests? A sort of zone with no armaments? ;) If at all possible, I would like to ascertain what the Cardassian intentions are for this area. Are they building up forces in the Omekla system? Hiding a fleet in the nebula? Planting mines in the nebula? [b]B)[/b] Going from past experience with similar postings, I have reservations about establishing land based Starfleet facilities in "new" sectors as there is always a risk of discovering sentient beings under Prime Directive protection. Also, in the interest of keeping a closer eye on Cardassian activities and hopefully not having the McAllister Nebula serve as a sensor blind, I would like to place my outpost on the moon orbiting E73-VII. [b]C)[/b]My recommendations for first-in-line locations for colonies would be H57-IV, due to potential for large crop yields, and J123-III for the same reasons. We are more interested in establishment of self-sustaining colonies than exploiting mineral resources. These planets also seem to be less likely targets for Cardassian colonization. [b]D)[/b] In addition to the Excelsior I rode in on, I would like to request: -Two Renaissance-class light cruisers (ASDB-style) -Two Freedom-class destroyers -One Istanbul-class transport -One Olympic-class multi-purpose vessel -One Oberth-class scout I would like to place the Renaissance-class ships in a support role for the two new colonies. They will patrol the immediate area and offer assistance to the colonists as required. The Freedom-class ships will be on general picket duty in the sector, each covering roughly half of current UFP claimed areas. The Excelsior will run a patrol through the three existing colonies and the new outpost, as well as be on hand to support the Oberth, which will be running scans of the nebula. The Istanbul-class ships will assist in the colonization efforts of the new colonies as well as transport goods and food stuffs from and between the existing colonies in the sector. The Olympic will act as a mobile hospital for the sector until a proper Starfleet-grade hospital can be established either on one of the colony worlds or the outpost. The Olympic I have in mind, however, will not be solely a hospital ship; I would like it to also have a modern sensor suite and stellar cartography setup to act as a recipient for data coming from the Oberth.
