I have a terrible feeling that the series of posts about the new Excelsior's construction is going to end with Cardassian sabotage and the death of the protagonist.

I am fairly sure that Nash is planning on dying at the helm of the Enterprise. That, or being immortal and unkillable and laughing in the face of death.

Literally Pre-FTL according to the Rihannsu series, the Romulans spent about two centuries in real time (Like fifty subjective) slowboating their way to Rihan, though they did burn out a number of psychics who were accelerating the colony ships, which is one of the explanations for why the Romulans have few psychics. The Vulcans were apparently fairly old as a civilization but they kept stone aging themselves until Surak took charge. (I really should do that let's read at some point > : | )
Mrr'Shan has command of one of the new Centaurs and is not on the Exploration panel, which miffs her a little, but she's too professional to let that bug her. I doubt that Nash will ever move on, she is going to take Kirk's advice and will try to never leave the Enterprise bridge willingly.

It turns out that Star Trek Death is the same as DC Death, and Nash seduces her along with every other attractive woman she's ever met.

Looking it up, the fall of the Orions seems to more or less coincide with the beginning of the age of Surak and the nuclear war which ended the previous Vulcanoid civilization.

Yes, than again the Explorer Panel page hasn't been updated for a while. For Instance Saavik is still awaiting assignment and Ajam is still alive... ;_; 7

Yeah, I'll be juggling the Explorer Panel soon, since you'll need to assign a new one next turn.
I'm just not sure if it should be a new FYM, or just finish off the rest of the year and then get out up for reassignment. I'm inclined to the former to spread the votes out a bit.
Actually, @AKuz, I'll need to bug you about where your other officers end up after this year ends.

Yes, spread them out. Voting for one or two new captains is less of a mess than voting for three was last time, when which captains we wanted got mixed up with what ship to assign a particular captain to.

Is that politically tenable though? A member of a brand new member species as captain of the flagship?
TBH when Enterprise comes up, I hope we find ourselves another Kirk-alike. The bonuses are just too good.
I agree with a new 5YM (well, maybe more of a 4.75 YM). You don't appoint an Explorer captain to warm the seat for 9 months. Fresh start for the Courageous.

It's not the flagship (there is no flag officer it could be the flagship of, and the weirdness of a "flagship" of the entire Federation is a TNG thing), and the Caitians have been affiliates for a long time.

Okie-dokie, I'll shoot you a PM
To expand on this: In my completely personal timeline (based on some stuff in STO and Enterprise), the Orions and the Gorn were basically THE major powers of the AQ from roughly 0CE to 1500CE, at which point some calamity happened which shattered their empires. It could be a war between the two powers that mutually devastated them; it could also have been the Hurq who devastated the Klingons, or perhaps Klingons themselves for a more Fall of Rome versus Mongol Invasion flavor.
This is based on the fact in STO that the Gorn are mentioned as once having much larger territories 'thousands' of years ago from 2409, which some still view as theirs. For the Orions, it's based on some Beta Canon stuff and that mention in TOS or Enterprise that some guy found a cure to a horrible disease by sifting through Orion ruins. That suggests A) a pretty advanced culture who B ) somehow has ruins with forgotten information.
Basically what I'm saying is: CBS, Orion Indiana Jones when?
A few Beta sources, including the Duane books, have them under Orion occupation/assault at some point in the past. Memory Alpha (via Enterprise) says the Time of Awakening is in the 4th century, and they hadn't fully recovered until the 19th. This is bearing in mind they had an interstellar colony on P'Jem in 1000BCE. Overall I get the impression they didn't really play a major role in intergalactic affairs -- before the Time of Awakening they were probably expanding and contracting due to frequent- possibly nuclear - warfare on Vulcan, and after the Time of Awakening they were simply too exhausted and devastated (also possibly occupied by the Orions) to do much.
In my continued headcanons, a lot of the psionic weaponry they developed and later used to horrible effect (Stone of Gol etc) might have been developed in response to the Orion occupation, which would put it sometime before the Time of Awakening. Later they turned the weapons on each other.

To comment on Q's lesson, because I didn't see any discussion of it, I think basically what she's saying is that if you're only benevolent when circumstances allow, it's a slippery slope to deciding you can never afford to be benevolent. Something to keep in mind. There are consequences to going "Let's get dangerous" and cracking down on the opposition, even if it is the most effective strategy.

It's, interestingly enough, a large contrast with TNG's aesop, which was something along the lines of human arrogance and complacence meaning they weren't really ready to face the dangerous boogeymen who would soon be knocking at their door.
Yes, actually! I don't know if you need to keep track of the entire crew -- I think the main three would be Chad, Abigail, and with the focus on the Syndicate stuff, Lieutenant Holena.
In fact I might yoink Lt. Holena for an Omake but it's not close to being written yet so I'll send you a PM when it's time.
EDIT: OH and Lieutenant Solen, aka "Bro Vulcan." He's very professional, just also very committed to understanding and enriching the shipboard traditions.

Okay, I've highlighted those three in anon_user's db. If you get the chance, shoot me a PM with where you'd like them to aim for future career moves and I'll see to it they get processed in Rat Race turns.
I really don't mind tracking them, gives me something to fill up the slots so I don't have half the categories showing "None"

No, because by time the Snakepit rolled around something or other happened and you only had four active at the time

2310.Q1
Not one but two Excelsiors roll out of the Shipyards this week.
Valentina Sousa and her officers are just about dancing down the corridors in glee. With three more Starfleet Excelsiors in the pipeline, plus two Member World Excelsiors under production and this place is hopping. Combine that with the enormous slate of Constitution-B class ships that have been laid down over the past year.
You're pretty sure you saw Sousa guiding her HQ staff in rousing drinking songs, actually.
Of course, these builds are all happening for a reason. Sydraxians, Orion pirates, Cardassians, Yrillian raiders, you have no shortage of threats presenting themselves. Of course, the end of the Caitian-Dawiar War has ended one major headache, and just before waves of shipbuilding completed on both sides, which would have no doubt heated the war up substantially.
