Hah, so the FDS did wake up and smell the coffee!
@OneirosTheWriter random question-- we know Kadeshi ships don't have shields due to SR cost and their fabrication techniques not really being suited to the work. Could we, say, had a tech team do a project to have combined Starfleet engineering (using the engineering ship) and Kadeshi build basic shields for their ships?

@OneirosTheWriter we ought to have an Academy Steering Committee meeting this quarter, right? I believe it's been four years since the last one.

Wouldn't that be 'interfering in another races's development.'?

Huh, I was reasonably certain that they had gotten their hands on some basic designs already... Was I misremembering?

Not necessarily. New construction and repair of either Excelsiors or ships that can replace them creates an outlet for sending one plus one or adding an Excelsior and subtracting one to move it elsewhere.
It's a drip rather than a faucet but it's what we have.
It's rather nice how all the "cool" coreward races are coreward of Federation space (the Honiani, the Yan-Ros, and now the Laio) while all the lame, troublesome races (the Ked Peddah and the Licori) are corewards of Romulan space. Have fun with those guys, Romulans. Really. We'll be over here with our cool new friends.

Do you think something might happen when the Romulans and Klingons are playing with each other and are kind of distracted?
Hey now! What do the Romulans get to look at during these negotiations? *pokes at the ship building spreadsheet*
That'd be up to three Excelsiors, two Miranda Refits and the Renaissance, depending on where the windows are for the conference room. The Romulans are going to get seats that look out a window at some of these little wonders, yes? I mean, maybe put a tarp over the Rennie, but still.

I don't think the Heavy Warbird entered orbit without sensors, that would be dangerous.

If the Romulans are here to sign a treaty, that can only mean that their war drums are about to beat...

It's also worth noting that given our event response issues seem to be focused elsewhere than Sol, it's really tempting to move the Rennie proto to someplace that's being held down by a single ship. Tellar maybe. Or move it to Feresa and release the Stalwart for Tellar.
Or that they believe the Klingons' are going to. While the Romulans are very much "it is better to give than to receive", circumstances and screwups mean they may not be able to.

... there might be something about humanitarian (whatever the politically correct term is in a multi-racial federation) help in that pact.
WE got reports about Romulan ship status, and we don't have a T'al Shiar.

Why assume the Romulans don't already have pics of the new class at least already?
I wouldn't be surprised if they already have a rough guess of the stats lying around. After all we already know what their new Warbirb looks like.

No? Prime Directive doesn't cover things like this. They're FTL-capable.

It's the Tal'Shiar, I'm pretty sure they already know the capabilities of the Rennie. We're probably only going to hide it if we hide it at all from Klingon Intelligence and maybe the Obsidian Order. (But only because they've had almost no time to develop networks in Federation space and the lack of normalized relations is a real bitch for spying.)
My plan would be to move it to Ferasa and get the sweet anti-Syndicate Impact train rolling again with the Renaissance's Presence 4.
When making plans, you assume the enemy knows everything. When keeping secrets, you assume they know nothing.

Starfleet Academy - Steering Meeting
Well, this is a new experience. You can't say that you have been that focused on Starfleet Academy. Though you made many allies there that have lasted you through to the present day, the school system itself had little appeal to you. You wanted to get out and do and act. There are so many more interesting things than classrooms in this wide galaxy of adventure and terror. So the Academy itself was of relatively little interest. But today, well, you have to focus on the needs of the system that provides you with recruits.
That nasty brutish business that gives you bodies to fill your starships with. Well, that's unkind to Certunn Guk, the Rear Admiral who serves as the Commandant of the Starfleet Academy here in San Francisco, the chief institute of the Academy network.
Kahurangi left no instructions for this particular matter and, indeed, you have seen little need to involve yourself in it thus far. But it doesn't seem so difficult to come to terms with.

There is a major science convention underway in the old Sol III city of New York at present. Although most of your attention is on San Francisco at the moment, you have not ignored the rest of the galaxy. The long awaited debate on adopting a new prospective warp factor system that made everything from Warp 9 up to Warp "10" a logarithmic equation. It would keep everything in use a single digit warp factor, if you ignore the decimal places anyway.
At the same time, voices within the Ship Design Bureau and Starfleet Tactical are talking about sweeping underlying changes in how you refer to your ship weight classes. A move away from the accepted "Explorer", "Cruiser", "Escort" system that has stood for decades. Instead they propose "Frigate", "Cruiser", and "Capital Ship". There is quite the debate in progress throughout Starfleet's brass, though you wonder if they shouldn't have more important matters to go on with!

Sector Commander's Log, Gabriel BZ, Stardate 25332.7 - Rear Admiral Ainsworth
We are pulling away from the Cardassian sectors after chasing away their scouting parties. It is time to rely on the industrial power of the Federation, rather than its combat power. We have lost the services of a Miranda-A, a Connie-B, and an Excelsior thus far this year, and still have them out. It is time to take advantage of our newly secured position to build up.
Credit Commodore Suarez with the impassioned argument that led to this. We are still sending prospectors into subsector 2e, and expect to have results next month. The mining colony at Collie will be finished next week, I have the freighters I need to rush build a major defensive project, or even a colony at Collie. It looks like consolidating our position is in order.

So far she's been doing a really good job out there. Let's see how she handles the defensive preparations.

She does know when to stop if someone hints strongly enough. Good on her.

Damnit, another new target for diplomacy. Oh well. I suppose they'll be lower priority than some of the others like the Gretarians, Ked-Paddah, and maybe the Ittick-ka.
