Two definite mining colonies and two possible research colonies in one system. Multiple other sites in that system.

And it's the Sydraxian frontier.

This looks like an EXCELLENT place for a starbase.

Now if we could devise some kind of Iron Hail alike so the starbase could cover the whole system we'd be gold. There's really no reason a starbase scale platform shouldn't be able to mount LR photon torps without mentat shenanigans, just use a booster stage.

Umm no. Miele 10 is one system. Miele 41 is another. The sector is amazing and Miele 10 is one hell of a colony, but it isn't all in one system.
 
Two M class planets in the same system means that the colony will be a significant strategic location further on down the road so I am all for building a Starbase and a shipyard in the system when and if we get the chance.

2316.Q2 - The Snakepit
  • Threadmarks
    • QM/N: Should write more but blargh, tired and sore.

    Admiral Sulu: Allows an Intelligence Op interrupt on all major crises.
    Admiral Chen: Ships that have already attended an event, may roll to attend an event that would otherwise have no responders, but at half modifier
    Vice Admiral Eaton: +3 to Sensor research, +2 to all Capital research
    Vice Admiral Uhura: +1 to all non-EC diplomacy rolls, +2 to Xenopsychology research
    Vice Admiral Sirvk: -1Qtr to build times of all Capital grade ships
    Vice Admiral Pathriss: +2 to all Doctrine research

    2316.Q2

    "The esteemed Admiral Hikaru Sulu," comes a voice from behind you.

    You turn about to see who has called you, and immediately give your respects. "The esteemed Councillor Jorlyth sh'Arrath," you reply smoothly.

    Around the pair of you the inevitable pile-up of aides from both sides begins immediately.

    "You know, I have heard from some intelligence agencies that this is simply a formalisation of a role you have more or less filled in some capacity for over a decade," muses the former President of the Federation.

    Old Spock would have been proud of the cocked eyebrow you give the politician. "I assure you, Councillor, that the published comments of the Romulans or Cardassians should not be well regarded on these matters."

    "Oh, I agree, but this was Vulcan High Command and the Federation Diplomatic Service talking," says the old Andorian battleaxe with a snort.

    At that you bite your tongue.

    "Relax, Admiral, it's only in jest," says Jorlyth. "Though they did say that."

    The most crucial item to come out of the Council deliberations for you is that a date has been set for the Gaeni to join as full Federation members. The ratification ceremony will be held late in the year, during Q4.

    -

    Elections to the Council were held in the three Caitian member worlds of Ferasa, Merfara, and Ollasa IV this year. The closest result was that of Councillor P'Shirri, who nearly last his seat due to a very determined campaign from the Development party. However, in the end, all three incumbent Councillors were returned for a second term, including President Arsharra N'Gir.

    This election was predicted to be a form of litmus test for the public's reaction to the Federation-Arcadian War, and it appears that the public was convinced of the necessity of the war, as well as the competency of its prosecution.

    [ ][COUNCIL] Submit a plan to the Council
    (You may select any number of options, as long as you can pay the Political Will cost. You currently have four-hundred and forty-one (441) Political Will to spend.

    [NB: After 2315.Q2 Snakepit, work is underway to establish a Warp Core Assembly Facility in the Amarkian system that handles Starfleet pattern warp cores. Other infrastructure will be added to reduce the chance of sneak attacks generating bottlenecks]

    • I'm thinking Indoria Starbase, Intel Gathering, RP, SR, and two BR colonies, Academy Expansion, maybe a tech team.

    Ship people, are we ready to start Kepler work yet?
     
    How many Engineering options can we take before we start straining their ability to complete things on time?

    No.

    We are waiting on survey sensors and modules.

    I'm convinced we can squeeze another Shield out of the design with either.

    Edit: There's debate on if we should go with the planned and pre-approved date, or start now so we can rush an escort.

    That is a topic of a great deal of debate in the SDB. We can hit our base statline now yes, to a degree. If we want until the planned start date (2 years) we will likely end up with a better ship and survey sensors.
