Warp Core explosions do not tend to leave much - and the self destruct usually artificially triggers one of those.

The remaining fragments will have a noticeable initial velocity in various directions away from the where the warp core was.

10 million years of stellar drift added on for what ever is left ....

Oh hey, if the toxin in his blood doesn't break down his cellular structure entirely, we can study the corpse to get better at detecting Lecarre. That's nice.

Incidentally, I'm getting very, very tired of the Lecarre murdering our people.
 
I'd really like to spend an intel report on the Lecarre the next few times, to get an idea of where their planets are, what kind of ships they have, etc. We know far too little about them to form a coherent response to things they do.

The Comet might be a better fit for the Member Fleets who use the Swarm/Wolf Pack Doctrines, specifically the Catians and Sydraxians. The Apita prefer 0-Officer frigates and I wouldn't trust the Yrillians with Starfleet gear just yet.

Way of the Flood
0 / 25 Quantity is Quality (+2 to Escort Research, -1 Qtr to Escort build times)

Building the Den
0 / 25 Streamlined Assembly (Reduce Target ship build times by 25%, to a maximum of 2 Qtr)

So, the Comet, if built by the Catians or Sydraxians, could be completed in 1.75 Years, or 7 Quarters.

"I've also never heard of these Picard and Janeway people they're talking about, so I'm pretty sure they've been read in. If they haven't, you have bigger problems. Now, why do those damn yellow Nazi aliens keep busting in on my office? Seriously, just because I keep a phaser in my desk drawer doesn't mean you boys should be slacking off on the job!"

They have one planet and no warships. Their hat is espionage, not war.

A counter-intel report would be nice. But how would you word the report request? I mean, the main problem with the Lecarre is that they're better than us at espionage a lot of the time.

Honestly the Comet will compete most with the Rennie-A... Which will handle response just as well but is a significantly better combatant and benefits more from doctrine. +2CH +1L is significant.

It only costs a bit more. If we are having trouble affording Comets, we can scrap Mirandas to get some crew and resources to subsidize them.
 
Getting close to two decades; I think we first met the Lecarre during Straak's first tour as captain of the Sarek, early in the mission.

Also, we don't know that they have no warships, just that Sarek didn't encounter any, which might just indicate that at the time the Lecarre had no warships they thought were worth spit when up against an Excelsior. Plus, as noted, that was a long time ago; even if their planetary income is pretty small, they've had time to build up a fairly nasty defense force by now. I bet they could give, say, a task forced sized formation of ours a big, unpleasant surprise if they wanted to.

Besides, if they didn't have a navy, the Ittick-ka or the Hishmeri would have rolled over them by now. It's kind of a tough neighborhood down there even if most of the competition is relatively penny-ante by great power standards.
 
Lecarre first mention in logs - 2308.Q3

They had at least one cruiser scale vessel at the time, as we followed it back to their home system after it 'jumped' our explorer to give a 'Go Away' message.
 
We do have our tactics reports on a possible war, which all agree any conflict with the Lecarre is likely to be special forces and espionage rather than conventional combat. Plus we know the Cardassians had to vector some ships their way to protect them from the Hishmeri. So I think it's safe to assume what ships the Lecarre may have could easily be dealt with by member fleets like the Caitians, Andorians, or the STO, rather than requiring significant Starfleet presence.

That was at least 10 years ago.

Yes, what Simon Jester said.

It would at least be nice to have a rough idea what they have and if they've established any bases or fortifications beyond their home system.
 
Don't our treaty with the Cardassians, like, forbid Lecarre Infiltrators, or somesuch? With penalty clauses or something.

Anyway.

Is there anything preventing the Cardassians from killing the Councillors and replacing them with Lecarre Infiltrators while they're there in Cardassian space or somesuch?
