So I reread the S'harien hijacking incident, and noticed something interesting.
Inspection Log, USS S'harien, Stardate 23808.9
Inspection Log, USS S'harien, Stardate 23809.7
Inspection Log, USS S'harien, Stardate 23810.1
Inspection Log, USS S'harien, Stardate 23810.6
Inspecton Log, USS S'harien, Stardate 23811.9
Captain's Log, USS S'harien, Stardate 23812.5

I was imagining the hijacking taking place over a day, with the rest of the quarter devoted to the refit going on before said hijack, and dealing with the consequences after said hijack. But it looks like this lasted for 4+ days. Saavik and 3 other officers had to hold the fort and slowly defeat the 20 infiltrators over this time. They were even split up into two teams, and so had to hide and guard each other when they had to sleep.

Either that, or Oneiros is playing loose with stardates again :p

Speaking of which, with the monthly reports going on, @OneirosTheWriter, have you thought about splitting up the Captain's Log into monthly reports as well? Captain's Logs are growing in size, and the increasing number of concurrent events is starting to make them look a bit scatterbrained. It might be a good idea to cut that quarterly report in thirds - same amount of content and rewards/penalties in total - and cutting down on the number of concurrent events going on at once within the same Captain's Logs post.

Hey that's not a bad idea...

Edit: Especially since with Stargazer we'll have six FYMs. Two per, very neat.

Nah, an SSD ala Fed would have zero mil cost? Why? Because the main battery would consist of 50-odd turreted deflector dishes firing negative space wedgies. Game mechanically it would have much higher S than C and an ability that lets it boost it's effective C score by a percentage of it's S and penalizes low S enemies.

Reading this a few days late, but...

Behold! The pride of the Federation! The greatest scientific and defensive instrument in known space!


The DEF STAR!!

I'm not sorry.
 
Duaba Planetary News

Violence in the form of Security Service Division brutality has rocked the city of Porqin for the seventh successive day. While conducting cordon and sweep moves through the middle-class Torquan district, SSD police used disruptors to kill fifteen people, including a family of five. SSD media releases state that all killed during today's operation were either Syndicate members or working for the Syndicate. To support their claim they have released holo-footage taken from officer recorders, purporting to show Syndicate agents resisting arrest. However, community leaders have loudly condemned the operation, saying many innocents have been summarily executed, and present footage and testimony of their own that these are extrajudicial killings, and called for the SSD officers involved to be suspended and prosecuted.

On the other side of the city, a plasma explosive destroyed a three story building that was undergoing a routine sweep by the SSD and Planetary Police Unit 2 personnel. Twelve SSD personnel and five PPU officers have been slain in the bombing, plus thirty bystanders. This brings the death toll of the current violence to 31 SSD officers, and 27 PPU, plus over two hundred civilians, of whom it is believed half were Syndicate.

Planetary leaders are calling on authorities in Alukk to call off these violent crackdowns on traditional community groups.

OMG, 6 Cost for 1 Impact. This is what we get from the native Orion Union SSD. Maybe the SSD should consider "Stun" setting.

Anti-Slavery Task Force Progress Report

There has been another uptick in violence throughout Orion Union space as SSD units move to try to lessen Syndicate influence over the key world of Duaba. Media reporting has not been friendly or positive on that world, as the Syndicate has very deep roots there. Uprooting them will be painful. Disproportionately high losses have made those units trigger-happy as well, which is worsening the situation. [+6 Cost, +1 Impact]

And it's hard to tell how much is even pro-Syndicate propaganda versus how much they're actually screwing up. I mean "traditional community groups" indeed.

Starfleet Medical Command Report
Mortuary Report

Lieutenant John Maggio, Starfleet Intelligence, Office 8, Killed by Disruptor Fire, Bradia
Petty Office Colshyk ch'Harthyk, USS Dryad, Engineering - Aero-car Accident, Bradia

Was that a genuine aero-car accident?
 
That news coverage is why I wanted reporters on our side, though the pacifists have been good to us, no argument.
Maybe next time?
 
If you believe in accidents on the planet with extreme-level syndicate-corruption I have bridges to sell.


"It was a total accident, poor guy, such a sad and tragic coincidence."

Win some, lose some. We were always going to have bad press on Syndicate-friendly worlds. I'll admit the Pacifists have been really showing their use, too, despite how little I trust them and how much I want to have literally anyone else in charge of the Council >_>
 
Well, yeah. But it would be nice not to let it go uncontested.

I wonder if we picked a bad world to start on.

Who do you mean by "we"? As near as I can tell, the plan as that (public) Federation forces are being deployed at Bradia (a small outward colony with Extreme Syndicate corruption) to roll up Syndicate forces there, while the Orion Union is having a go at the world of Duaba (population 7 major world; Extreme corruption). Duaba is where the bad press is coming from.

EDIT: The other world with Extreme corruption is Alukk itself.

Who's to say it wasn't? I mean, accidents happen even on Earth. Two people beam to Enterprise, fail to connect, get sent back scrambled. The Holodeck gets locked on and Moriarty comes to life and wants to match wits with you. Accidents happen-someone could shoot themselves with their own phaser or have a power-cell breach because of a manufacturing error 15 years before it was assigned to them. Getting hit by a car is, while rare, a thing that will happen, especially on a planet without reliable traffic control.

Well, we made it through month 3 so Eaton should have the Zephyr bolstering her anti-Syndicate squadron to 4 ships. That's probably it for this year, barring momentous events. Hope she uses them well.

Where do Starfleet engineering and medical ships come from, anyway? Are we supposed to be building those? They've never been given as an option.

Now? Our 50PP that went to the Development Political Faction.
You'll thank me in the long run, because I was about to throw this stuff at your main shipbuilding infrastructure. Including Starfleet Medical's next generation of hospital ships. :D

Their previous generations had been holding up. You were soon to be hit up with orders for replacement ships for Starfleet Medical. Starfleet Engineering will still keep for a while.

Starfleet Engineering: Do not worry Admiral! We still have plenty of technobabble and duct tape to keep these girls running for a century or two!

They're all NX-classes that the engineers have been custom modding for the last hundred sixty years.

The Gaeni envy them.
