I'm kind of interested as to why some Indorians are worried about the Qloathi, Seyek, and Fiiral. Obviously there may be a xenophobia aspect, especially for a people we've known for less than a decade and a half, but militarily we must have a lot of Indorians thinking about the Cardassians. The three races rimward are a crucial part of our defensive strategy for the region. If I were an Indorian I'd want them on board as quickly as possible.

We met some when they were suspecting the Caldonians of spying on them with a telescope array, but that was quite some time ago, maybe 7 years?

Probably infrastructure and economic worries. I'll bet that they're worried they'll be ignored for the new hotness once these other guys sign on.
Given how much trouble the Seyek and Fiiral make for us right now I would say the Indorians are already the quiet ones here.

We've had indications that the Indorians and Apiata were enemies at some point in the past. Perhaps the Indorians were just the black sheep of the neighborhood who didn't get along with any of their neighbors? Though in that case, its odd that we were able to integrate them so quickly and smoothly.

I do wonder about Thirishar. It really is just ... unusually failure-prone.

We also had a friendly encounter with a Klingon science ship a couple years ago, and we've had an active Klingon embassy on Earth that was mentioned during the Treaty of Mars event.
I imagine that in the wake of Khitomer, there's also been a decent amount of trade between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, especially since their need for Federation supplies to recover from the Praxis disaster was one of the reasons for the treaty in the first place. There's got to be plenty of routine contact with the Klingons that we normally don't hear about, and that we WOULD hear about if it suddenly stopped.

Looking over your spreadsheet, you're double counting the Sojourner repair+refit. There should only be a single Excelsior repair+refit in 40E now, with the other in LOCF.
Spreadsheet's also missing the 0.3 annual O/E/T total from the new affiliates of Laio and Ked Paddah.
I'll have to double check the current br/sr/O/E/T later - haven't filled that in my audit spreadsheet yet.

Now I kind of imagine some of the ships sitting around and talking and Excelsior looks over at Thirishar playing by herself off in the corner just in time to watch her fill her mouth with paste yet again and Excelsior just sighs for the hundredth time, "I just don't know about that girl. Something ain't right"
She's the Ralph Wiggum of starships I guess

Oh, nice, Captain's logs, war's ending. Some fun shenanigans going on but nothing too bad.
Sucks about those bad Diplomacy incidents, but it looks like we're making up for them.
Hm, a robot crew-member from the Delta Quadrant? That's pretty cool! I like the whole "last testament" thing. This plot bit is simultaneously solemn and hopeful, so well-played @OneirosTheWriter !
Now, what's this update for the Excelsior?
Welp, time to batten down the hatches and get rolling.

Unsurprising, given that two former enemies were among our founding members.
I was double-counting, but the one in LOCF is the one I deleted. With the plan to put the Ambassadors in UP, I assume we go back to the repairs happening at 40E as originally intended (and as is still listed in the relevant post).
Will add. I am unclear if we actually got +2O/E/T from that last recruiting campaign we did during the Licroi War, right before we switched away from the fortnightly-voting system. Right now I still have it in there.
@OneirosTheWriter can you confirm or deny if that "+2 in every category" recruiting campaign came to fruition?
Also wondering if those 2 1mt repair bays at Ana Font were built, and if so are they permanent?

Huh, that might not be a bad idea. Say, Oneiros, would it be possible to offer those two and maybe the Licori and/or Ked Paddah the chance to contribute so anyone in their populations fearing Federation hegemony would lose ground with solid proof that they contributed, and also as a way of reminding these potential members that bad shit is wandering the universe, and we're stronger together?

I'm not sure why you want the Yan-Ros of all people to help out. Their only military claim to fame is their ground forces, and ground forces are worse than useless against the beast.
The Honiani aren't a bad idea though. Powerful capships with high shields and sensors are probably the best beastslayers.

Well, luckily we have quantum torpedoes now, so if the Biophage infects any more worlds we can.... sterilize them if absolutely needed.
I think it would be very cool if it wasn't a "last testament" at all and we eventually encountered the species. The AI will be around for a long time after all, if we find them in the 2350s+ that's fine.
Sterilizing worlds has never been a problem for us.

We have a bonus for when we start developing quantum torpedoes in 20 years or so. Maybe it will even shave off a couple of years from the approximately 30 years development time.

Yan-Ros also have drone weapons tech at least according to their intro.
And in HW:C drone weapons no-sell infection beams.

Ah, point! If they have drone SHIPS as well then yeah, they could be a lifesaver.

Wait, is this the "captain gets married and the spouse boosts the ship" event? Is there something you aren't telling us, Mbeki?
Does Mipek have a rank? Honorary ensign? I hope he eventually becomes an explorer Corps candidate like Leaniss.

I was mostly the political angle, and they might be able to help with garrisoning home systems while the EC and better warships work on PURGEPURGEPURGE around the RBZ and KBZ.
