To Boldly Go... (a Starfleet quest)

2324.Q1



Member World Coordination Division Report

Admiral,

Most of our efforts in the past year have related to the ongoing Federalisation efforts, but you would already be aware of most of those developments. As a result, I will try to focus on the other issues that have continued to progress through the year.

The Amarkians have finally wound down their excess spending. However, with a number of Gabriel mining sites coming on-line, the resulting values are only modestly reduced, if coming from a great deal more locations. The various additional colony sites, arriving as they did well after the initial thread was done, were allowed to run at normal capacity to begin with, so the result of returning to peacetime spending was less than feared. The Amarkians were largely able to harness their industrial capacity and then carefully grow and expand into it.

News of new or planned refits is common, with the Rigellians in particular planning ambitious survivability improvements for their already famously sturdy starships. The Megatoirtoise in particular may be the sturdiest ship in known space after this. In addition, our newest members are preparing for fleet structure renewal. The Ked Paddah are to prepare extensive modernisation refits for the Aggadah-class battleships, while an Orah refit, and a next-generation battleship, lie on the horizon.

The Accession of these two new fleets nets us ten additional capital ships, if somewhat older models, generating no small amount of excitement in the office. When the Basilica of Lakhept was added to the registry officially and given its number, Lieutenant T'Finar performed a traditional Vulcan dance atop the desk.

Yours Dutifully,
Captain Charles Boucher, Chief of Staff (on behalf of Director, MWCD, Commodore Leaniss)

Current Fleets

[ ][PRIORITY] Pick Up to four Member World Priorities to change
[ ][PRIORITY] Change nothing [Weighted 1.5x]
Suggested possible priorities can be things such as:
Focus on building a particular ship type/class
Focus on more cargo shipping
Focus on increasing resources/recruitment
Set a target for Combat or Defence
Start designing a new ship
Prepare a refit of a ship

(There is a build sheet available for access on request in pm/discord that includes build schedules for all Fed members and affiliates - priority changes can also be allowed to change these build schedules)


Caldonia
The Caldonians are deeply concerned by their security team taking multiple fatalities in Muupolis, and recognise that even their Prefects have no capacity for this sort of operation. They are asking to cross-train with SFI to create a force they can deploy in small teams on ships called up to service to cover eventualities like this.

[ ][TOL] Train with Special Projects (Caldonian spec ops teams will have C6 S5 H4 P2 N8)
[ ][TOL] Train with Irregular Ops (Caldonian spec ops teams will have C5 S5 H4 P3 N8)
[ ][TOL] Train with Field Intel (Caldonian spec ops teams will have C4 S5 H4 P4 N8)

Now that Starfleet is planning to retire the Constitution-B, several navies have expressed interest in the design. It is not top-of-the-line, but it is available now, which often counts for a lot. Including member-fleet Constitution-B cruisers, there are currently ten available for transfer; USS Valiant has already been slated for reassignment to Starfleet Historical Command's Active Fleet.

[ ][CONNIE] Transfer one to the Orion Union Navy. Will require temporary transfer of 3.5 points of Technician crew, to come from federalized member fleets. (-2 pp to set up the transfer program)
[ ][CONNIE] Transfer two to the Confederacy of Amarkia Navy
[ ][CONNIE] Transfer two to the Magen Chalal of the Ked Paddah
[ ][CONNIE] Transfer one to the Tauni Space Gate Command (-3 pp, +5 relations with Tauni)
[ ][CONNIE] Transfer one to the Yrillian navy (-5 pp, +8 relations with Yrillia)
[ ][CONNIE] Transfer one to a consortium of independent Yrillian work-gangs (+50 br, +40 sr, -15 pp, +27 relations with Yrillia, -20 rp to facilitate conversion to haul cargo)
[ ][CONNIE] Transfer one to the Preservation Coalition Space Bureau of the OSA (-10 pp, +16 relations with Outer Space Alliance)
[ ][CONNIE] Transfer one to House Rithe of the Arcadian Empire (+50 br, +40 sr, -20 pp, +29 relations with Licori, +21 on [Horizon Influence] tag on Licori, -75 relations with OSA)
[ ][CONNIE] Transfer one to the Space Probe Agency of the Vermillion Connectivity (-9 pp, +19 on [Obsolete Technology] tag on Vermillion Connectivity; -35 rp for technical assistance)
[ ][CONNIE] Convert one to a Starfleet Escape Entertainment Ship (-15 rp to facilitate conversion into a SEES, +5 pp, +0.02 OET throughput annually)

Vote for any number of these options. Any that get at least half of the votes will be approved, provided that there are cruisers to transfer; if there are not enough cruisers to transfer, cruisers will be transferred in order from the most-voted option to the least until there are none left. If there is still a tie, member fleets will be prioritized over allies, who will be prioritized over affiliates, who will be prioritized over non-affiliates.

A novel proposal has been circulating through the Ship Design Bureau: a conversion of the Constitution-B class cruiser into a light tender design. The Apiata have expressed interest in this design, but would require significant technical assistance to turn this proposal into reality.

[ ][BEE] Support a conversion program (-100 rp, Constitution-C refit design developed in one year (refit cost 35 br/30 sr; new statline C5 S3 H3 L4 P3 D6; new crew cost O2 E6 T4; may support two Stingers or JAF frigates), two Constitution-B cruisers will be transferred to Apiata in 2325Q1 and will immediately go into refit)
[ ][BEE] Do not support the conversion program

If nine or ten Constitution-B cruisers have already been allocated for transfer elsewhere and the conversion program is approved, then it will replace the lowest-voted transfer option (or options), so long as it received more votes (or tied, if the lowest-voted option was not a member fleet).

Relief Aid
Starfleet has been asked to support Sophontitarian relief supply development to ensure compatibility across the many new species discovered over the last decade, including more portable protein resequencers, providing resources for development of Gaeni replicator techs, and even developing new prepared foodstuffs.
[ ][RELIEF] Approve the program (-200 rp, +40 pp)
[ ][RELIEF] Do not approve the program

Maiden of Dawn
The Orion Union has requested assistance with the repair of Maiden of Dawn. The AI-controlled ship is too badly damaged to move, and effectively requires a massive rebuild. Starfleet support has been requested for this operation.
[ ][MAIDEN] Build a new cruiser around Maiden of Dawn's computer for the Orion Union Navy. (-100 rp, -35 br, -25 sr, Orion Union Navy gains a new custom cruiser (statline C3 S5 H2 L3 P3 D4, crew cost 2/3/3) in 2327.Q1), Maiden of Dawn acts as new research colony while operational (base of 5 rp/year)
[ ][MAIDEN] Do not provide Starfleet support for this project.

New Odanner
The Laian Unity intends to build a new Odanner, superior to the original. The Outer Space Alliance has offered technical assistance; however, the Unity requests additional support, as well as Starfleet input on the design of their new explorer.
[ ][LAIO] Provide technical support in adapting the OSA's Ray-class design to Laian needs and capabilities. (-50 rp each year for two years; -20 pp to reserve Honiani 4mt berth in 2326.Q1 for construction of the new Odanner; gain intelligence report on the Ray; Laio will build a 2mt berth at Laian starting in 2326.Q1)
[ ][LAIO] Transfer the technical design package for the Excelsior-A design to the Laio. (-75 rp; -25 pp to reserve Honiani 4mt berth in 2325.Q1 for construction of the new Odanner; Laio will build a 2.5mt berth at Laian starting in 2327.Q1)

Vermillions
The Vermillion Connectivity is interested in upgrading its Space Probe Agency, and desires a new training ship to help its personnel adapt to 24th century technology. The Gaeni are retiring two Tech-Frigates. Perhaps a deal could be arranged?
[ ][OCTO] Arrange for the transfer of two Tech-Frigates to the Vermillion Connectivity (-10 rp to ensure the safety of the Tech-Frigates' warp cores, +5 on [Obsolete Technology] tag on Vermillion Connectivity)
[ ][OCTO] Do not arrange the transfer. (Gaen scraps the two Tech-Frigates)
