Hmm, I'm not sure why we should be so concerned that the Bene have the edge. The faster the war of succession wraps up, the faster we can bring things to a close. That said I suppose there's risk they're up to something heinous, but it seems more likely to me that they had a hand in the Emperor's sortie and were prepared to capitalize.
If the romulans are going to make them a client state through the Bene I would like to know, or if there is a third party aiding them. It would be important to know for negotiations as well.

Guys, guys, guys, guys.

We literally fought them to not mess with this shit in inhabited areas. Why LITERALLY DO THE EXACT SAME THING.

THE SYSTEM IS INHABITED. FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Just let these dogs lie.

I'm going with the QMs comments here.

Us=Maybe Kill Billions in an oops?
Poking theoretically dangerous things is a grand starfleet tradition.

Part of our clean up operation, I really don't want to smash the big houses and have a small one actually do what we were afraid of

[X][KED] Allow the Ked Paddah to destroy the research station debris.

Holy shit peeps. Let's not fuck around in major inhabited systems.

[x][MISC] Linderley's team on Morshadd could be the nucleus of a useful asset if you can reinforce them.

I like the idea of having proper assets in place.

[x][MISC] Start a discreet program of tachyon tracking devices along the main routes between Arcadian star systems, like in Orion space.

I have a "Hunch" that this will come in handy soon.

Oneiros has all ready stated that the chance of something bad happening is very low, and it would be another roll to determine how bad. I feel that you're overreacting a bit.
 
Okay for those voting to poke the research stations what do you expect to happen with we roll a failure and something bad happens in the three following cases:
Vulcan ship goes by
Somewhere in between
System goes by

Sure, but rolling those dice at all in an inhabited system is a huge dick move.

Exactly the same result as if one of our Explorer's pokes something interesting and gets a confirmed natural '1'.

It may well be that when we fully understand why the Bene are doing so well, we will approve and want to subscribe to their newsletter refrain from interference.

Nevertheless, we should understand what is going on. The Bene have a better than even chance of being the dominant governmental feature of the post-war Licori species. We should make sure to have the measure of them.

Guys, guys, guys, guys.

Because bringing our most rational, controlled dudes to carefully dissect the exotic Licori technologies under controlled circumstances is our best chance to understand what these things do, what is required to make them operate, and (if applicable) how to stop them.

We can't possibly know that we've got every copy of the blueprints for any dreadful secret weapons House Ixira may have developed. We can't assume that there are no 'strategic redoubt' areas left to that House, or to the Licori in general, where one of those weapons could be rebuilt. It would be unwise for us to just straight-up burn the only copies of this technology in our control, without even trying to investigate it. I trust the Vulcans not to fuck this up, even if in theory there is some chance of them doing so.
 
@OneirosTheWriter are there any benefits to
[ ][KED] Have the Vulcan Survey Corps research cruiser head out to investigate (large chance of +rp, minute chance of catastrophic ka-boom)
beyond the RP gain or is it just a chance to gain RP?
 
I'm going to miss Thunderhead and Blizzard though. For whatever reason, I think the ships in TBG I'm most attached to are the hapless little Mirandas. If you guys end up making a New Orleans analogue, those ship names are getting revived.

Just what it says in the option.

New Orleans is on the to-do list, especially with the changes to how science works in combat making a science 2-3 general purpose frigate about as good combat wise as a miranda, even if it's twice as expensive.
