[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [QB] Hi everybody. Sorry to join the party late, but here goes. A. I think that SF needs to shore up the established presence in the area to possibly put off potential Cardassian expansion / aggression but also to be prepared to take possession of all nearby resources in case things get hot here. We need to find out what the Cardassians have in mind for the region, and especially how far they think their influence extends for when a boarder is drawn formally. We want don’t want to look like a walkover, but we also don’t want to be aggressive to a potentially hostile race. I don’t know what the boarder situation is and if SF are expecting me to help establish one if none formally exists. I also don’t know how far SF want me to prod the Cardassians – are we looking for weaknesses or are we really just encouraging new colonies in this region. I doubt the new Khitomer accords will have any bearing on the situation here, but I don’t know. The Xepolites might be useful intermediaries or sources of information, but then again might be allied to the Cardassians, we don’t know. We also don’t know anything about the Nebula, and there are always interesting gas pockets to hide a potential first strike fleet in… B. A space station is likely to be more suited to this region, given the likelihood the boarder might change at any point soon – we can move (or destroy) it faster than a land base and it also means we can site it around non class M sites. I propose placing it in orbit of E73 VII, ostensibly to promote mining in the system (and in the process denying anyone else from grabbing it). The Cardassians will probably call it as they see it, but it will allow me to watch them from as near as I dare tread. C. H57 IV looks nice as a southern extension of our influence and should provide a nice agricultural based community, which usually do well and can help boost trade with the Xepolites. K484 is a bit close to them and offers little to me other than a runny nose. I also suggest a colony on J123 III which also should be fairly easy to successfully establish a successful colony that will be self-sufficient, as well as offering potential expansion to IV as well at a later date. We can also monitor the nebula and the corridor between it and Minos Korva. It is my hope that by not grabbing R047 the Cardassians will not accuse us of resource grabbing, but it still is within reach if we want to. The southward expansion puts us in a (hopefully) good negotiating position for making a boarder claim, but also spreads out targets in the region and helps justify the placing of a Starbase in System E73. D. My Excelsior can patrol the regions around E73, H57, Minos Korva and J123/G38. My additional fleet requests are a light cruiser and two frigates (e.g.Wellington class and New Orleans class) for colony protection and support, two larger transports (e.g Yorkshire or Istanbul) a small scout (e.g. upgraded Ranger) and a science vessel (e.g. Oberth) for recon and system examination. They might also be useful in monitoring / exploring the nebula should we suspect any goings on in there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
