Requesting Data Entries

starfarertheta

A data center will be featured in my in progress KDF mission "Phantoms Three". Just like the Memory Alpha map in Cyber, I'd like to fill its databanks with many entries concerning the galaxy at large. These can be anything from random factoids to KDF intelligence reports. This mission will take place just after the Iconian War, so keep that in mind when writing entries. If you have anything you'd like to share please submit it to this very thread.
The deadline for submissions will be whenever I can finish this mission (sometime March or April 2018, maybe sooner if all goes according to plan).

If you want an idea of the kind of stuff I'm willing to accept, but from a KDF point of view:

Do you have a standardized format in mind for these intelligence reports? (I'd like to write one up relating to ECLIPSE, which would tie into my in-progress Total ECLIPSE cross-factional series.)

@paxfederatica,
Hmmm, I haven't given formatting much thought (I'd think it'd depend somewhat on what's being reported on).

I don't want to be restrictive so as to not cramp anyone's style. If a standard reporting structure is to emerge, then I guess you can be the one to set the trend. (I could learn something in the process)


Edit (PS): I plan to write my own intelligence reports but right now I need to build the mission (maps, objectives, critical dialogue). I'm not going to let everyone else have all the fun.

Btw just a quick question, do these "data entries" have to be about canon things (or close enough) or can it include thing invented for the foundry by players?

starfarertheta

@spiritborn,
Yes, I'm especially looking for stuff from the foundry-verse. This is an opportunity for cross-promotion.

Here's the thread I made to get the Memory Alpha data entries featured in Cyber:

Got one!

File submission: intelligence archives
Report to the High Council: Security Chief to Klingon Delegation (Iffar)
Subject tag: The Idiot

The Ambassador was found face down with a bottle of Spring Wine in one hand and a data pad in the other. The Ibi female Kirik was in discussions with was no where to be found. Kirik reported that the negotiations had not produced viable results. I noted a tear at his right sleeve and a mark above his right eye. Ibi security filed a complaint that morning. They say that the Ambassador (dishonorably) gained proprietary information through a Lethean intermediary. The complaint was corroborated by Starfleet Security.

It is my opinion that the ambassador disclosed his (dishonorable) subterfuge to his Ibi companion, whom he could only identify as "Echo," who in turn disclosed the information to the Ibi government. While one may recommend that greater care be taken with members of the local populous, a siege mentality would prevent us making useful discoveries (see. Starfleet Security's close association with the Ibi.) Instead, I recommend that Ambassador Kirik be reassigned. Ambassador to Rura Penthe would seem appropriate.
