If you are assigning her you probably should also list reassignments of some of the ships there taking effect in Q1 (Kearsage and/or one of the Mirandas?), possible places to reinforce would be Tellar, or they could join the Yukikaze. Rigellian ratification probably won't be for a few more months and the Klingon Romulan war hasn't started yet. Those, the Vega Starbase and the Centaur-A finishing refit at the end of Q1 probably require another round or two of shuffling later next year anyway.

Persian instead of Japanese, but maybe everybody's mixed-race in the future. A guy named Jean-luc Picard, after-all, had a British Accent.
Alternatively:
One riot, one scrutineer? I mean, the hat's different, but I wouldn't be surprised if the badges were made from old coins.
Less clear about where costuming gets the Caitan outfits from, but I do love should boards and piping in my forces.

She has a Maori last name, A Russian first name and a Japanese middle name. Mixed-race is pretty much a given.

This is a problem. In fact, this was the heart of the problem faced by the United States during the Vietnam War.
That one ended with us abandoning the folks we had been backing.
The Syndicate has to go; the trick will be to find points of commonality with the individuals who would otherwise find themselves joining the Syndicate, thus compromising the gangster's ability to maintain and grow their organization.
I wonder if the Federation could open up their own corporation within the Orion Union, using that to undercut the more corrupt business enterprises. The idea of predatory pricing as a heroic action is one I find intriguing...

Swap Kumari in to either Ferasia or Amarkia sectors for that extra P.

I know! I was asking for a pic of time-appropriate admiral apparel. Preferably a close-up.
...something I could use as reference.
Oh. Oh yeah, I could make this work :3
except the rank insignia should look more like this:
For some reason I had the impression the last name was Japanese. I guess I was primed by the obviously Japanese middle name.
I'm not too familiar with Maori names, but that mak s a lot more sense. Thanks.
I decline. The Cardassians are quiet right now, but that is still a critical frontier, protecting a vast swathe of our affiliates. That fleet is basically also garrisoning Apinae sector. I want to keep our blooded Excelsior on it.

The total is
edit: 2309 already had -10pp/year
Ah, so that's why it was 6 influence. 9 used from last year, leaving 1 remaining, and an additional 5 for this amendment.
That's quite the understatement. By the time Kahurangi retires, Federation territory will have practically doubled in size, and all the lost influence and cuts of Starfleet have been more than reversed. She'll be known as the Admiral that restored Starfleet.
Right, so I know someone was wanting to write Vulcan noir, but a Betazoid noir with this character sounds even better!
Well, that's a lofty hope. Unless she's implying that such breaking bread can take the form of militarily humbling said enemy into submission
Hmm, this statement bothers me a bit. Civil disobedience, revolutions, and rebellions are all fundamentally revolts against the law.
I think a better statement would be that the Syndicate is a revolt against the concept of law itself.
Just to clarify, does this mean the 10 additional impact and the 10 resilience don't apply for this year?
Oh that's good. Does this mean that we shouldn't request any Syndicate intel reports in the Q2 steering committees?

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say :X
That's right.
I'll be ear-marking one of them as Starfleet Intel puts more resources to the Syndicate, and it will become your progress report.
Yes, this is just the change caused by the amendment.

[X][FLEET] Plan Syndicate Sectors Charm Offensive
Only change from the tentative plan is shifting Dryad (the Miranda) from Amarkia to help Yukikaze instead of to Sol sector. Which is sensible. We unfortunately don't have much more garrison room to spare for the effort until next year.
Huh, Kahurangi looks rather sad there. Would've expected her to be more tired and resigned...

I was going for "exhausted."
That is not what I was expecting from the Rixx Scrutineers, but very welcome.

I'm not sure what "informational push" means, but the rest all look like they would be responsible for reducing the Syndicate's own resilience to our impact rather than improving our own resilience.
Does this "informational push" the same thing as the aforementioned "Council, the Diplomatic Service, and the media" approach? That's something that should directly improve our resilience against Syndicate cost.
Also, I think this is the first major cross-Federation action for Rigel. Already proving to be useful Federation members
I guess there are limits to stick figure art emotions
edit: I think it's the large frown. Exhaustion is all in the eyes rather than the mouth (unless you're yawning).

I guess you've had the same idea that I had > : V
(I was picturing like of of those portraits of high ranking people that you see of like a President or other high ranking people, with a Federation flag in background)
Remember that Kuharangi's uniform is real fancy, look at "Bill" from ST VI. There is gold Starburst thing on the chest for instance
As far as looks go, I pictured her as dusky and steel haired yes, and as far as ethnicity goes, she leans towards the solid features of a Maori, but is also more generally just "Pacific-ish" If someone today we're trying to place her origin.
Or she will be known for the woman under whose leadership the Federation expansions exceeded its ability to cope with them, which lead to a deadlock in internal politics as myriad of antagonistic factions constantly vie for power and influence. Starfleet, led by a cabal of officers originating from our appointments who have long since started to view themselves as the only ones capable of defending the Federation, steps into that void as the only powerful actor left and in a few years, perhaps after particular difficult crisis/war, officially takes control of the Federation as a military junta (for the good of people, of course). After that is only a short while till the elites of Starfleet decide to fully formalise their takeover and announce the birth of the Galactic Empire, with Kahurangi being made into it's mystical founder/saint.

Awwwww, I missed another two votes I had easy time understanding
On the other hand, the Pacifist option results went over better than I expected. Shows the cynic what he knows, that.
On that note, I gotta say, when I read latest Ratification update, my immediate reaction was "Hmmm, everyone suspects the overworked, shifty guy, therefore the real criminal will be his, chirpy, friendly colleague."
...I'm turning into a human Garak, aren't I?
