[QUOTE]Originally posted by akb1979: [QB] OK, OK! My answer is here – sorry for the delay, I got bogged down with L-O-A-D-S of work from uni :( <U>[b]A[/b]</U> (In no particular order).  Maintain the existing peace.  Keep an eye on the Cardassians – after the recent war, they will no doubt be interested in expanding their sphere of power.  Check out the purple nebula ASAP.  Perform long-range scans on pink nebula – Cardassians might be hiding ships there.  G’Sall is a pre-warp and un-contacted civilisation – they need to be protected and kept out of sector events.  Zechs and Lucrezia – keep an eye on their residents and be ready to send a diplomatic team(s) in to deal with any misgivings.  Diplomatic efforts to persuade Joval to follow Jovalis’ example.  Bifour IV: Cardassians can’t be trusted. Take nothing they say for granted and watch them constantly. Maybe deploy some sensor drones along the boarder to keep and eye on them and extend sensor range. They have a small taskforce that can cause damage if applied within the sector – find out whether they are building more.  Encourage industrial and economical growth of Jovalis  Assist in the development of Jovalis’ defences  The colony on Lucrezea is in an ideal position to become a staging area/launch site for any future operations in the area near Bifour IV. With this in mind it should be a priority to increase Starfleet's diplomatic presence on the colony. However, this said, the colony is not a full Federation member so this increase should be done gradually and not appear pushy.  Zechs appears to be “occupied”. This might mean that the population is unhappy with the Cardassians ruling them. Perhaps a covert intelligence-gathering mission will uncover the true state of the population’s feelings.  Other intelligence goals should be to determine a) whether Bifour IV has any weapons of mass destruction of any sort, b) monitoring their fleet movements, c) as with Zechs, investigate the contentment level of the population.  Deal with any unsavoury groups – pirates, smugglers, anti-Cardassian groups (who might put their foot in it and start trouble). <U>[b]B[/b]</U> Either option is doable – time is obviously a major factor here. The DS9-style upgrade sounds good, should things go pear-shaped in the sector in the near future. It could also be a good diplomatic move to make the new members feel that we appreciate their previous efforts and want to make use of their station (just think of all those squadrons of Starfury’s!). I’d also go for this option as Starfleet is low on resources and I’d rather have something now rather than too late. <U>[b]C[/b]</U> USS Courageous, NCC-62579 – my command ship, an Excelsior-II (Refit such as the Lokota) Firstly I’d go to Jovalis and Joval to say “hello” and to show the flag. I’d also spend some time talking with Captain Nall before her departure and her crew to gain any insider knowledge and tips. I’d then take the Courageous to the boarder taking a detour past the Purple Nebula (PN) and then past Zechs and finally Lucrezea before turning around for another pass. While in range, I’d do passive scans of Bifour IV and take a peek at what the Cardi’s are up to. Addition ships (after Question 2)  [i]USS Jupiter[/i], [i]Akira[/i]-class, NCC-71267  [i]USS Rabin[/i], [i]Akira[/i]-class, NCC-63293  [i]USS Bristol[/i], [i]Nebula[/i]-class, NCC-68207  [i]USS Sutherland[/i], [i]Nebula[/i]-class, NCC-72015  [i]USS Bellerephon[/i], [i]Intrepid[/i]-class, NCC-74762 – science ship that is fast and easily able to fend off aggressors until help arrives use to keep an eye on Cardassians. The Rigorous will remain in the area around Jovalis & Joval – they obviously have friends there and may very well wish to sat “goodbye” before the ship is decommissioned. <U>[b]D1[/b]</U> I’d keep them all if they wish to stay in the sector. Commander Michael Boston (Human, 12 Years of Service) – Excellent Service Record. Experienced Diplomat. I’d have this officer become the new CO of DS12, as his diplomatic experience will be invaluable. I might have him promoted to captain to give him a little more “umph”. His command experience will make him a good commander for fleet operations as well as the additional planetary liaison duties that I’m gonna dump on him. Tactical: Lt. Laura Kardon (Human, 6 Years of Service) – Good Service Record. A native of Zechs but suffers from little combat experience. I’d ask the lieutenant about Zech and the current mood of the population (assuming her knowledge is current). This will give me a better picture of the situation there. I’d probably assign her to my command ship for now as I’ll be going past her homeworld and she may be useful (I’ll also provide her with an opportunity to go home and stay if she wishes). I’d consider the lieutenant for assignment to DS12 or one of the additional ships where her expertise could be put to good use. Science: Lt. Commander Shezef (Andorian Male, 15 Years of Service) – Excellent Service Record. Expert on the Pink & Purple Nebulae. I’d ask him about the nebulas and whether there is anything we can do to make them “safer”. By safer I mean, more able to defend against possible forces hiding in them or using them to our advantage. I’ll probably assign him to the [i]Intrepid[/i]-class vessel once it arrives or DS12 with the possibility of using runabouts for science surveys. Medical: Commander Taris Tani (Bajoran Female, 20 Years of Service) – Fair Service Record. Married to a Jovalisi diplomat on DS12. I’ll keep this officer and assign her to DS12 as CMO of the station’s medical facilities and to keep her husband and the Jovalisi sweet. Her knowledge of the area and the native species will be of tremendous benefit. Engineering: Lt. Commander Bayl (Betazoid Male, 8 Years of Service) – Good Service Record. I’ll keep this officer and assign him to DS12 to assist with the upgrade and also to assist with any future repair efforts to starships. Helm: Lt. (j.g.) Walter Shumar (Human, 40 years of Service) – Excellent Service Record. A legendary pilot, who has convinced all but one of his commanding officers never to promote him. Oh I definitely have to keep him as his skills may very well be in high demand later on. I’d push for a promotion to a full lieutenant and have him assigned to one of the additional ships. DS12’s CO is Commander Stalek (Vulcan, 20 Years of Service) – Good service record. Known to the Jovalisi, though not terribly popular. Well this officer has experience of the sector so I’d be reluctant to opt for an out-of-sector transfer. I’d probably have the commander help Commander Michael Boston in his integration as DS12’s new CO. Once Boston is in place and the additional ships have arrived, I’d promote Stalek to captain and give him one of the ships, possibly one of the [i]Nebula[/i]’s or the [i]Intrepid[/i]. <U>[b]D2[/b]</U> I’d go with the donation to the museum in the interests of friendship. The ship has done so much for the sector that it’d be a shame for some young militia group to lose it in some stupid raid. However, like MinutiaeMan, I will put in a recommendation to Starfleet Command that they provide Lucrezea with another decommissioned starship should one become available – a [i]Miranda[/i] or similar such starship should suffice. I’d also go along similar lines to Timo – providing the militia group (and Zechs) with training and basic equipment. This might, however, become a problem as it might be considered interference in local politics. How's that? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
