Star Trek super science strikes again, the good news is that nothing caused time to flow backwards or spawn space demons.
We are going to befriend the shit out of them!

If this was the Licori? Well, I'm going to be pushing for informing the Licori that their options are accepting the Ked Paddah demands with joint UFP/Ked Paddah monitoring, or getting the shit kicked out of them by Starfleet, then accepting the demands after the option to say no has been removed by total annihilation of their fleets.
If they're doing things to stars that kill cap ships with no warning, and not establishing very clear warning systems, they're de facto at war with everyone.

Given that their society is so heavily Mentat based, we're going to basically have to end the current Licori culture if this is them.

I wonder how the Romulans feel about having these lunatics as neighbors.

I think the Romulans haven't been hit yet. Evidence: The Licori are still an independent faction, rather than vassals of the Romulans or Ked Paddah (after the Romulans burned the orbitals clear, then left).

If the Romulans had any fucking idea how dangerous they are they would have rolled in decades ago and used the Mentats to build new weapons and shit.
It can safely be assumed that if the Romulans know of the Licori, or at least enough about them, they would have invaded to seize the Licori stockpiles of Mad Science decades ago.

Reminder that the Ked Paddah have captured Mentats in their employ. We have much better relations with the Licori, so if I were them I'd be worried about the Federation defending the Licori. We're friends with the Gaeni, after all. If they thought manufacturing an incident was the best way to get us to side with them over the Licori they might just do it.

Somehow I doubt the Ked Paddah are running false flags involving induced stellar catastrophes.

Even if Shields and Hull were as effective as each other in combat, Shields would still be the way to go - it increases the level of threat required to do any damage to a ship at all.

We don't really have time at the moment to actually REMOVE MENTAT but we are definitely writing new regs regarding suspected Mentat situations, starting with "Any suspected mentat operation near a Federation ship or in Federation space may be fired upon without warning at the discretion of the commanding officer."

You know while I get that it's canon and all, or at least Voyager canon, I never really got how a supernova can threaten a starship with the tech level of the Federation. From what I can tell even massive supernovae peak at something like 25% the speed of light. Given that we're talking about ships with warp drives and FTL sensors there is no way a supernova could threaten them unless they were right next to the star when it went off.
Even if you say a collapsing star disrupts warp fields the Enterprise-A was able to hit between 30% and 50% the speed of light at full impulse in TMP. More then enough to out run a supernova.
