Certainly not while they're at war with each other, and probably not for a while after. Maybe if we're facing an existential threat together again (e.g. Dominion War).

And that's how the Romulans and Klingons ended the war, by joining in as affiliates at the same time.

I don't think we get to make that kind of call, and it's been a long time since the Biophage - a "delayed reward" frankly sounds patronising.
Also, the Romulans and Klingons don't need more resources to go to war from our perspective, and whilst I don't actually remember who the Somtaaw are if they aren't a big group I have concerns regarding information security, considering how valuable this tech is.

Somtaaw are a Romulon Neutral Zone race that we saved from the Biophage. They have been quiet since then, omakes have them as pretty much the only remaining warp capable species home to the neutral zone (the Kaldeshi used to be, but the Biophage ate most of them) and they are enjoying having the room to spread out without the big neighbors (us and the Romulons) nosing around much.

Oh, the Sotaw. Gotcha.
Actually, it might make a decent incentive for the Klingons and Romulans to negotiate a peace.
Yup, the Sotaaw are looking to be the buffer state between the Romulans and the Federation. And possibly also the buffer state between the Klingons and Starfleet, given how close the KBZ is to the RBZ.

You know what's funny is seeing a cardassians reaction to hey, federation and their sphere just booster sr income by about 200 or so.
Great month overall!

We have neither the ability nor the mandate to enforce a peace treaty between the Romulans and the Klingons. The most the Federation could do would be to host talks, but really only if asked; even then that would be FDS rather than Starfleet.

Maryam Ajam and Karen Sarjan continue to be best team.
It uses a special event generation setup, it's almost certainly got a university onboard, and it's also the Kadeshi capital so P checks are being handled directly by their government.
Also almost sure it has shields.
C wise? Probably 20+. Because when you're that big, even a tiny gun-to-mass ratio equals lots of gun.

One of the things different about the Kaldeshi is their lack of shielding technology. They put their faith in thick hulls and quick build times.

Captain's Log, USS Courageous, Stardate 26388.2 - Captain Sabek
We are in orbit around the human colony of Tanner IV, which is reporting a peculiar problem. Apparently there is some microbe or organism that is passing from person to person and inventing memories. We're not sure if it is to an intelligent purpose, or if it is simply drawing from a jumble of existing memories to make new ones.

Captain's Log, USS Sarek, Stardate 26388.8 - Captain Samyr Kanil
A distress call from a team of scientists examining some of the remains of one of the Licori Mentat's macro-organism incubators has us on the move. I am loathe to stretch the Sarek's legs again so soon after refit, but after reviewing such details as were recovered from the Suvek, I am equally loathe to delay on anything related to those creatures.

Captain's Log, USS S'harien, Stardate 26389.2 - Captain T'Rinta
We identified a supply of heavy ores under the surface of a highly compressed moon that had seemingly formed under variable high gravity. In order to crack the tightly bound outer layer, it was necessary to utilise a photon torpedo with a stellocene jacket to irradiate parts of the surface to allow sampling equipment to get through the surface.

Captain's Log, USS Zephyr, Stardate 26389.7
A set of ancient Tkon ruins has been unearthed on a kuiper belt object of Klivvar Proxima. It was far enough out that it was not picked up on a few generations of scanning, which is the only theory that can be brought to mind as to why the Tkon made this installation. We ourselves only discovered it when leaving Klivvar Proxima on a peculiar course trying to intercept a Sydraxian civilian ship.

Captain's Log, USS Pleezirra, Stardate 26390.4
An outbreak of Tellarian Pox on the USS Cloudburst has seen us make an emergency run to render aid. Many crew members have come down with the highly contagious plague which, despite the name, will jump species easily. A hospital ship from Medical Command is en route as well, but I believe the Pleezirra's medical crew have the situation in hand. The Cloudburst has thankfully had no fatalities, though it will be returning to Beta Indi in the care of Starfleet Medical until it is fit to resume service.

Captain's Log, USS Sarek, Stardate 26391.7
After arriving at the former incubation site, we found that the scientists had nearly gotten themselves killed off. An unintentional harmonic wave that shattered much of their living areas. It was only through a stroke of genius by one of the scientists that they were able to identify peculiar properties in the crystalline structures surrounding the incubation area that would allow them to loop an annular confinement beam in a sort of "holding pattern."
We were able to secure the annular confinement beam and get the scientists aboard. As an additional boon, the cracking of the harmonic wave revealed unexpected deposits of rare materials.

Well, for a while there half the crew believed just about anything about the other half of the crew; at least, the non-Vulcan component of the crew. Our Vulcan officers were able to guide a number of confused colleagues and colonists through the ordeal, though resisting the effects of the organism required frequent meditation.
The culprit turned out to be a thin, centimetre long parasite that was able to insert itself subcutaneously into a host and interrupt their nervous system activity. If left unchecked, the end results could be fatal. However, a way to identify and remove the parasites were detected, and by modifying the preferred food of their normal symbiote animals, we have been able to devise a system to keep them away from colonists in future.

I think that only applies to their replicated vessels. I doubt they'd do the same with such an irreplaceable starship.

So both Honiani and Yan-Ros are over 400 now. Ashidi also at 147 now with three rolls left from the push, that will take them to the low 200s, with one more event and one or two good rolls they could hit 300 next year.

Admiral,
Cardassian pressure has eased off considerably over the last couple months. First the Sydraxians give them a very urgent situation to pay attention to, then many of their sources fall silent there and in Amarkia. The Obsidian Order is reeling under the reversals. Naturally, this just makes me paranoid about where they will return. Lecarre activity likewise has been quiet, though I still believe that is down to wariness surrounding the Hishmeri Septs who only recently passed them by.
Our operations with the Voshov and SS Slipper are proceeding smoothly in Sydraxian space. If the environment continues to grow more permissive, I may load up additional assets with the Hummingbird and increase our presence there. The recent budgetary increases to our operations forces are providing me with more ability to deploy forces like this.
Dutifully,
Vice Admiral Scott Linderley, Director
