I almost wonder if this was intentional. it would be really out of character for them not to be checking up on prior inflictor sites. Maybe somone needed to see how the federations acts to believe it?

Look behind you, Nash.
Whew! Always nerve-wracking when an event goes down on our Romulan border. Glad our relations appear to be increasingly stable.
Honiani relations were at 80, so I do believe that puts them over 100. Yay! Hopefully no bars to affiliate status.
Damn. Sounds like the response DC was very high, and even at +8 with Lone Ranger we couldn't quite make it.

It was a Tal Shiar plot! You can't prove it wasn't!
Or alternately, they're marshaling all available ships to prepare for war with the Klingons.

I think we just go an affiliate there, unfortunately Kumari seemed to fail their roll
Well, those are worrying when taken together.
Going with the TV show conceit, the Biophage showing up for a two-parter wouldn't be entirely impossible.

Probably has to do with how they're posturing on the Klingon border as a prelude to war. All their other sectors will be more lightly garrisoned.

god, can you imagine the coup it would be to eventually get the romulans to join the federation?
The genocide has happened quite some time ago... there was more than enough time for them to check those sites in depth and any periodic rechecking is easy to miss.
On the other hand they have a conflict with the Klingons to prepare for and the Federation borderzone is probably the safest place to take ships away from if they are aware of our troubles with the Cardassians and the Sydraxians.

Not going to happen. Their society is far too paranoid and xenophobic to get beyond allies of convenience. To get to the point of joining the Federation would require basically everything that makes them Romulans to change.
While it would probably be great for our military/industrial capabilities I have my doubts the addition of the Romulans (provided they don't change drastically) would be very beneficial to our political system/society. In fact I see a lot of potential problems coming from such a massive new voting block with ideals that to a large degree run counter to what the Federation stands for and tries to encourage in its new members.
The yearly intelligence reports normally update us on Romulan border zone forces, so it'll be interesting to see what we're told this time around.

They would have to be a Romulan Republic first.

Arguably the process was underway by TNG. Also, something very important happened here.
The Romulans just told us they were leaving our border with them uncovered.
No Romulan ships were in position to respond to an incident near the Neutral Zone, on their side of the border, but one of ours was. If they had any ships on the border at all, they must have been near the extreme opposite end. The Romulans admitted that they had a massive gaping hole in their defenses which we could drive our Excelsior fleet and the Pride of Kadesh through if we wanted.
They thought it was safe enough to admit this that the potential cost of doing so was less than maybe losing their colony.
EDIT: I suppose there's an argument for "convoluted plot" to be made, but the only real outcome of the Federation going for the vulnerability is a war that the Klingons will jump into and the Romulans really don't want to fight us both at once.

So some highlights here, Holiani have at least one Explorer class ship that goes exploring. That is a tentative positive sign that they would fit into the Federation. Also as a religious race they would possibly be a good ambassador to the Bajorans and similar races down the line.
We also gained an affiliate out beyond Rigel that is coreward, excellent for our continued growth and uniting species.
Another thing is we gained 20pp this log. Something we need since I imagine we will be around 70 to 80 cost end of year if not more.
Finally we saw a bit of how the Kadesh expedition will work and it has paid some early dividends

Sounds like a waste of resources, just like those cloaks.
Not at all! We need to construct fittings for our ships anyways-things like interior walls, doors, furniture, windows, the bits that make them more than a box of components and actually livable for crews. Now, the Starfleet Aesthetic is perhaps not as ornate as the Honiani prefer their work to be-but I think we can learn from them and show respect for their beliefs about the use of resources in a way that respects the universe by adding to them.

We're the Federation, wasting resources on pomp and prettiness because we have enough for everyone and then some is sort of the point.
It would be just as bad. We haven't really made large leaps, just incremental gains. e: We might suffer fewer casualties in the major battles
