Ulith III Biophage Crisis 2303.Q4.M2

Federation News Service, Breaking News, 2303.Q4.M2
The Biophage crisis continues to develop in the Romulan Border Zone, after Starfleet confirms it has destroyed the cargo ship SS Immaculate, which had become consumed by the disease. It had a registered crew of twelve. If this attempt to slip through the quarantine at Indi Beta had succeeded, it could have led to mass destruction on any colony it reached. No other contacts have been reported on the Federation side of the border this month. On the Romulan side, however, the Biophage attacked a vulnerable evacuation fleet, in an attack that slaughtered well over ten thousand.
The fate of many refugees in that convoy is sure to be keenly in the minds of the many colonists who live in the threatened areas, who Starfleet would like to see evacuated.
Meanwhile, the forces mustered in response to the emergency continues to expand, drawing in talented Tellarite engineers and demolitionists, as well as a contribution from the Vulcan Science Academy.
Meanwhile, a group of Betazoid empaths have reportedly arrived in the Federation as a good-will gesture from Betazed. They will arrive in the Romulan Border Zone to help assist fleets search for signs of the Biophage.
End Report

State of Emergency, 2303.Q4.M2 (Turn 2 of State of Emergency)
Current Level of Federation Mobilisation: Limited [Up to 12 teams allowed]
You are currently operating in a State of Emergency.
This entails an increased operational tempo (you shift to three month-long mini-turns per Quarter), and an increase to available assets.
These assets usually will require no additional resources from Starfleet, as you are directing the resources of a Federation that does not embrace money. Any additional requirements will be noted on the actions themselves.
This State of Emergency will endure until such time as the cause of the crisis is resolved. In this case, until the Ulith III Biophage no longer poses a threat to the Federation.

You may assign teams to task that match their specialty. A multi-turn task will continue until complete. Some tasks will involve dice rolls behind the scenes, some tasks will be automatic-successes.
At present you have a small portion of the full assets of the United Federation of Planets, mainly your quick response Starfleet assets, and nearby Andorian ready assets. You may recruit more teams via Internal Diplomacy, which is effectively requisitioning units. The Federation Emergency Council has arbitrary authority, and any mobilisation it makes will be automatically successful.
Some assets have sub-types, such as Medical Command, which has a Medical Sub-type to its Civil Engineering function. Some actions, such as Researching a Disease, requires a relevant sub-type, such as Medical. They may also alter the manner in which an action is carried out.
