    Very nice intro to Season 7! Can't wait for launch.

    Is the Huxley a Nova or Rhode Island class?

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Brandon,

    Any chance this will allow for the building of the new Romulan homeworld, in the same way we are building stations?

    Also, iam liking the way this story is going. Tau Dewe Sector Block?

    The last sentence sounded like you hadn't heard of Tau Dewa yet. If that isn't the case, I apologize.

    The Embassy system does sort of qualify as "building the new Romulan howeworld in the same way as Fleet projects". And of course there are missions on the surface.

    Naw, it is all good and i had heard of that sector its just that this latest article made it out as if it was something completely outside of the new Romulan area.

    Iam also aware of the Embassy system, however i was kinda of hoping they would allow us to help physically build the new Romulan homeworld.

    Hey, maybe we will. What else would we be doing down there? :)

    Yeah, lets hope that is what it is. For someone like myself that isnt in a fleet and isnt working on a starbase, i would welcome a community project in some way or another. It would be interesting, devs make it so certain buildings and infrastructure has to be created and we the community have the oppertunity to build the new Romulan world.

    That is a good question, as Klingon faction is in yet another limbo and they aren't going to willingly help the Romulans rebuild.

    The unsung tagline of the empire?

    "We fight for the honor and glory of the Empire, but mostly because we need XP."

    Naturally it would sound better in the original Klingon.

    Us klingons do not need backstory we will just destroy all romulans in glory of the empire and if the federation get in the way well lets hope that it is a good day for them to die.

    Ship Log
    Entry 7426
    Mission Day 73
    Current Mission: Plantary Survey of Romulan/Klingon phipery
    I.K.V. Dancer, General Kuiama del Solima commanding

    We spotted a federation science ship, Nova class, to day during third watch which was positivly identified as the U.S.S. Huxley. Sub Commander N'Rel, our liason officer, noted the ship as one of a hand full of federation ships enguaged in resurveying the sector for viable planets for D'Tan's people to relocate to.

    Per orders we did not seek combat and avoided further contact. Our missions orders from the high council and the imperial contacts branch of the K.D.C. are quite clear that our mission goals do not include fighting the federation at this time. Other ships are tasked with discouraging federatioon involment in this region. A contact report was relayed to the nearest fleet command group in the area per standing orders.

    As of yet we havn't found any worlds sutable for a joint Romulan/Reman colonization effort. A reservey of the world of Nerendra III noticed no change in the world, and is over all deemed unsutable for the needs of D'Tan's people. The failed colony sites from the last century under the "World of Galactic Peace" inititive continue to deteriorate. The planets magnetic field continues to weaken and I estimate the the world will loose 70% of its remaining atmosphere to the effects of the system solar wind over the next 50 years. While the planets core rotation could be restarted easily with current technology, it would still be a decades long project and would be uncompletable before the depleation of the planets atmosphere rendered the world unhabitable. The world how ever is deemed sutable for a hostile enviorment mining, extraction, and explotation operation and still holds tremendous reserves of easily gathered heavy metals that are not easily replicated on the industrial scale. I recommend to the high council the the Nerendra system be sceded in toto to D'Tan's people for thier future use.

    The Dancer will be proceeding next to the famed Khitomer region for a full re-survey of its nearby star systems. Khitomer as you know is a storied star system in its own right with a currently independent system government which as hosted numerous diplomatic gatherings over the last 2 centuries. During the last century this area was known as the "Triangle" being a boundry area between the then strong Romulan Empire, the Klingon Empire and the Federation. We expect to have to deal with several independent Orion ships in the area as the few that are not part of the cartel are known to be still operating in this region, along with other independents who for all practical purposes are little more the pirates.

    As the war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire appears to be winding down due to mutual exaustion, and a lack of clear war goals other then fighting for fighting sake, Dancer will continue with her assigned mission. Perhapes we will find a world suitable for D'Tan's people soon. There are hundreds of un surveyed star systems in the region of space. The odds are favorable that one, or several of them will be found to meet the requirements of the Romulan/Reman people and there will be a created a certain level of political stability on the this border of the empire.

    For the Empire
    General Kuiama del Solima, I.K.V. Dancer reporting.

    Dist: KHC, KDC, Contacts Branch, I.I., Black Fleet.

    There, a KDF rebuttle! KDF players get thier own version of these missions the the Feds get to play... They're not quite what I would have wanted... but at least they're missions.. My little story of course has references to both hard canon, and some soft canon from the old FASA star trek RPG.. The missions in the area definatly need "independent operators" that want to continue to see the area as clear of Romulan, Federation, and Klingon influence.. Independent pirate groups, mercenaries, aliens that want nothing to do with any of the great powers.. Numerous soft canon races could be plugged into the area including the Kinshya, and others.

    why for Kahless's sake would KDF search a planet for D'Tan's people?!?

    We (KDF) have no vulcans, thus no interest in reunification movement. Yes, Rommies have given us our cloaking tech, but that was years ago and it wasn't a present from a small civilian party, but a treaty with the RSE government!

    Possible answers, but VERY unrealistic:
    - looking to get another tech from D'Tan's people (but the reman set does not bring it)
    - it is a trade off - they will mine for us
    - something else, but it better be good!

    J'Mpok wants more subjects, so he's willing to invest in the Romulan people, to earn their loyalty. The KDF is no longer just the KDF, as you are all well aware. It's a conglomerate of species, with the KDF ruling over all. They want new surfs.

    The Federation is infested with Undine, and hence there is a war going on between the Empire and the Federation. At the same time, the Fehk'ihri are attacking from places where they cannot be reached. The Borg are ravaging in Klingon space. Technologically vastly superior Iconians have been identified as a cause for some, maybe all of this, and now, the Tholians are assaulting Klingon House Starbases and Klingon space, such as the Nukara sytem (which of course belongs to the Klingon Empire!).

    And those Tholians are also active in Tau Dewa, where a vast amount of Romulans has recently migrated to, building up a new base. Those Romulans have offered the Federation an alliance, but at the same time, have offered it to the Klingons, too.

    Let me be honest with you, General. The war against the Federation is not progressing at all, with all the major distractions. Any small amount of support for the Federation might tip the balance to their favour. If they get the support of those Romulans in Tau Dewa, we might actually loose ground. That must never happen!

    Thus, we must make the Romulans our friends, too, so they will remain neutral. This is very important. It might decide the war. The Klingon Empire counts on you.

    well put!
    thank you :)


    Who always was the aggressor in the KDF/FED war? Isn't it KDF itself? Would it not be easier just make a non-aggression treaty with the feds?

    "It is working just fine now, as our fleets fight side by side against the borg, tholians, ... even on Romulus.. They showed us they valor true heroism too.

    They NEVER started a war with us, even helped us not once, they have found and judged the undine infiltrator, to whom we also would like to speak..

    We do not seek an alliance, merely a non-aggression treaty with clear rules.

    The enemy of my enemy is sometimes my enemy too, and in that case it is wise to face him together!
    "

    under this light the help for Romulans also makes sense..
