Casualties taken while the ship remains intact and mostly combat capable obviously don't typically represent the bodies of the crew being vaporized.
How much memory are we ok with losing? Because the real trick is being able to save transporter states.
High enough.
The syndicate is now reduced, at most, to weighting a couple of sector event tables somewhat differently. Master of Orion is over. We won. The Orion people won. The Syndicate lost.
Perhaps I should say, an additional good reason to push medical research. There are always going to be casualties, sadly enough; it's to be expected when we order people into dangerous circumstances.
ASTF forces will be on a gradual drawdown as the Federation stands down and Orion Union forces stand up. As a practical matter, the Syndicate has collapsed back into being a "mere" criminal entity.
That was only an emergency move in the case of the Cardassians supporting the Celos insurgency.
Yep, the detectives should be the last to go.
Fair enough but still a great feeling after all our hard work. Do we get any large Orion rep boost or something for our efforts?
I know it didn't have a Michael Bayesian finale (despite atmospheric photon torpedo hits on two planets during the climax) but you guys should still be proud! You've redeemed the future of a species that had been doomed to eat itself in perpetuity, and provided the link from dream to reality for those that had hope.
Well done! The first Anti-Syndicate Act was passed in 2309. The start of high-intensity operations began in 2311. Some six years of conflict well spent
A Councillor perished, another maimed. The Kearsage was devastated. Hundreds of Frontier Police have paid it forward in life and limb. Betazoid, Rigellian, Vulcan blood comingled with Orion. Of the Orions themselves, tens of thousands perished on the altar of freedom or more Syndicate oppression. And in Lironh two hundred thousand were martyred.
But in the end it led to something greater than any one person. The ideal of the Federation has won out over tyranny. Good does not always triumph over evil, but you've all made it so this was not one of those times
In which explosions are assigned probabilities instead of just happening? I think this whole project has been working under Michael Bayesianism.
No. Just no. That image is for premature declaration of COIN victory.
Impact was tied principally to the number of actions the Syndicate could generate.
Could their last counter-offensive have worked without our changes to the charter, with the additional detectives?Impact was tied principally to the number of actions the Syndicate could generate.
There is no one factor that caused the Syndicate defeat. However, I would say that most of the elements that led to the defeat either arose from, or became involved in, the trio of Duaba, Lironh, and especially Celos.
Celos was a diversionary attack from Duaba that went disastrously right for the Syndicate. They were in no position to hold territory like that. Even so, they nearly finagled outright victory by bringing in the Cardassians. In the end, however, the arrival of the Aeroknights prevented them from retaining sufficient control of the planet to rouse the Cardassians to defend them, and they ended up getting effectively sold down the river. So in many ways, I suppose the Enterprise succeeding in their mission to hijack the Cardassian comms buoy was the closest thing to a single turning point, since that enabled the Treaty of Celos to be negotiated favourably.
