I am aware of the Vulcan and Human Excelsior-A builds, however those two Excelsiors are not available this deployment, as ships completing in Q4 are available for deployment in Q1. They will definitely be appreciated next year.
The task force will take time. Time that we have now, but won't have in a couple years. If we manage to ally the Dreamers in that time, we can short-circuit Breen aggression before it even happens. This is part of the strategy of "deal with problems before they become problems" that I was going on about before the Cardassians invaded Chrystovia.
We can not wait for the Breen to come out of their isolationist consolidation. Now is the time to take advantage of their consolidatory period, while it is happening, not later after it is over.
Don't let problems pile up because they aren't emergencies. THAT was the essential lesson of the last year, as a whole.
We have been explicitly told that the Breen have entered into a period of isolationist consolidation. They won't be a problem for a couple years.
