Although the inquiry into the loss of the USS Miracht has published their findings, based on my analysis of evidence presented, the inquiry is almost certain to clear Captain Mbeki, thus I have included him in this list.

I am pretty sure that is meant to be something like "Although the inquiry into the loss of the USS Miracht has not yet published their findings," since if the inquiry was finished he would already be cleared (or not).

Mhm...

T'Lorel stares down the raindrops.

Nash dances between the raindrops, then seduces the local news channel's weather reporter.

Eaton sensibly stays inside, sipping tea, then comes out and appreciates the fogginess as a homey reminder of Jolly Old England.

Saavik lurches in out of the rain, somehow having managed to soak up more than her own body weight in water, but the mission got done. Somehow.

And Straak?

Straak brought an umbrella. It was the logical thing to do, you see.

Saavik disrobed, and kept her uniform dry with her body. She is soaked, but once she drys off, she will be fine.

Similarly, Meyer's aggression is too low and his rule abiding too high for a sector that's likely to see action. I prefer Thuir's abilities there even if he may end up being aggressive.

Which is why I voted to send the overall best candidate Crogan to Ferasa. Mbeki may not be quite as good overall, but personally the extra point of nerves over Crogan seems useful enough to make up for only medium diplomacy, which may not be great but should be functional at least. Low politics shouldn't matter too much for a border posting.

I wouldn't assume that rule-abidingness is automatically a bad thing for a command that is likely to see action. It's not like you want every cop likely to make arrests to be Dirty Harry. If the rules themselves are written sensibly, then a highly rule-abiding person can be a very effective commander.

Saavik could give you an earful about the advantages of keeping your shields up when approaching Federation ships that don't answer hails, for instance. ;)

Low aggression is potentially a handicap, but as repeatedly noted, the Ferasa Sector commander only actually runs one or two ships. Any crisis for which their aggressiveness is actually needed, is going to be one where we can probably put someone else in charge of something.
 
Another point is that Chekov has eternal bad luck and his life is, on some level, suffering.

Giving him a Tellarite flag captain aboard the Endurance is a perfect fit. ;)

[He didn't become a temporal agent for normal reasons. He became a temporal agent because the far-future Federation figured out how to weaponize bad luck. They probably have some kind of giant temporal obliterator cannon powered by Harry Kim's pickup lines or something, too.]

Mostly because that way there is less chance of somebody putting Thuir back into an explorer...

Did a revised fleet distribution plan based on the idea that we only have two Mirandas in refit at a time, thus allowing more combat power to be pushed to the most dangerous fronts. Bottom line:
CBZ = 1 Excelsior, 1 Connie-B, 2 escorts, 1 starbase
SBZ = 1 Excelsior, 1 Connie-B, 2 escorts, 1 starbase
GBZ = 1 Excelsior, 2 Connie-B, 2 escorts

If we can't hold the frontiers with that, it's a full scale war. Also, no sector is left with only a single ship, allowing them to rescue each other as required.

My only concern is the Extra Outposts bonus in the Apinae sector. I know we built a few there when it was the CBZ but with all the new Apiata and Indorian colonies to protect, I'm not confident that we'd get +5 from those. Maybe consider moving the T'Kumbra/Shield from the GBZ to the Apinae Sector? Having three ships there would make me a bit less concerned about raids slipping through the CBZ.
