Yaaay, I'm already changing my sleep schedule!

From 8:30am I managed to wake up as early as 7:40am

Just few more days and I should be able to wake up at 7.

The Council decided to break the treaty with Cardassians. Public be damned. We won't be fighting for Cardassians while they just sit and do nothing.


Week later, Pakleds agree to our trade agreement and we get their homeworld location as well - it's somewhat far from all other civilizations.
Chalna yards finish USS Ning Hai, our first Galaxy-class cruiser. It will rendevous with USS Barracuda, an Oberth-class scout, which just left shipyard at Xerxes system.


Next week we receive this image taken from Cortes-1 probe.
May the brave crew of the ship rest in peace.


Cardassians declare war on us next week. Our spies and sensor officers completed this picture of strategic deployment of Cardassian vessels:


10 cruisers and few barely defended ships like scouts and transports. Both fleets stationed at Malcor shall enter Ingraham system as a first attack in this campaign. Cardassians might respond by tossing their forces there, but we will be prepared.


Next week battle at Ingraham leads to victory - the outpost have been destroyed with just minimal damage on our side with no ships lost.
However we paid dearly for it - we assume it was the Cardassians who destroyed the civilian ship. Their cruiser force are on the move so our fleets will retreat to Malcor.
Second Galaxy cruiser, USS Trieste is completed at Chalna after we buy components from private institutions.


Next week Klingons agree to a non-aggression treaty, and Ferengi send us a piece of advice - suprisingly, without asking for a price. They seem to be serious!


Another sensor sweep of Cardassian space reveals this. We've counted approximately 15 cruisers and 8 smaller ships, manuevering between Ingraham, Kataan and the sector of space above Malcor. Because they can reach Holsberg, Caldonian Defense Group have been sent to reinforce that system; destroyers as separate group because their engines are faster and thus they can get there quicker.

We might have kicked the beehive, one could say. (Where the hell they got all those cruisers from!?)

3.5/5

3.4 of that is for being yourself~

Q

Fortune teller C:

Damn manipulative Cardassians.  Captain Jak wanted to kill, kill, kill!

The thing is, they are at peace with Romulans, but we are not

I think I will break the affiliation treaty with Cards (morale loss might be large...) so they won't be roaming around our space.

How's Captain Hanzoku doing? I assume at this point he's commanding a Destroyer at least.

USS Stratford, Miranda-class destroyer. Next time check the Captain's List in first post

Security becomes a concern for Starfleet. The Romulans are easily getting research leeched out of our computers thanks to their powerful spy networks. Databanks upgrade have been scheduled ahead of any other infrastructure.


USS Cortes sent us a priority one report next week.
What you seen is a flottilla of 27 ships - destroyers mixed with cruisers + few scouts providing tactical knowledge. This fleet this conquered Terosa Prime, one of Cardassian colonies.
Starfleet Command is discussing the matter with the Federation Council. We must speed up production of new vessels, lest Romulans will gain upper hand.


Romulan saboteurs destroyed our science building in remote part of Federation. The same week, we get this:


Federation Council members and Starfleet Command had several heated discussions. Few Chalna representatives got irritated not to mention Malcorians threatening us. After prolonged voting, we have decided.


We're going into a war.

As a preparation, Chalna and Xerxes systems will begin construction of Ambassador and Galaxy class cruisers. Caldonia shall be tasked with construction of Miranda destroyers and Oberth scouts.
Databank arrays are upgraded at Tarsas and Tarsus systems, whilst Thelka is making sure that our scientists will get best equipment they can.

We're pulling Caldonian Guard Fleet from Caldonia to Malcor, and Holsberg system will be reinforced too.
 
Captain Jak Euchre will take command of Caldonian fleet and his new command ship will be USS Iroquis, Ambassador-class cruiser. Captain Jarod Cain will take his two destroyers and reinforce said fleet at Malcor.
Secondly, USS Zarnitza will be new command post of Captain Neer Dell who shall take command of Holsberg Fleet.
Thirdly, Captain Burnt Pies shall take command of USS Monroe as commander of Malcor Fleet.

Week later, editorials strongly criticize our move.
Fortunately it doesn't really drop our morale that much. We will begin talks with Cardassians so they allow us free passage through their territory. We will also attempt to create an outpost at Delta Vega so we can reach Romulan space without trespassing Cardassian territory.
Also, USS Newport is finished at Caldonia.


Next week USS Cortes sends us a report about first contact with species called the Pakleds. They are apparently scavengers, living in Romulan territory, but suprisingly they're not in league with them. At Xerxes, we buy necessary supplies to upgrade our replicators so construction of starships can start at last.


Two weeks later we receive the answer from Cardassians - it's a 'NO'. We shall build an outpost near Delta Vega system.
In the same time, we will colonize Risa system to get another dilithium source for our shipbuilding operations.


Week after that, USS Somali leaves Caldonian yards, just when we receive the news that Klingon government have changed.


At week 183, we accepted affiliation proposal from the Cardassians. We will be able to attack Romulan systems, but Starfleet and the Council decided that our first task will be with liberating the Cardassian colonies currently occupied by Romulans. USS Stingray is constructed at Caldonia yards.


Just as we signed affiliation treaty, Cardassians go "WE'RE NO LONGER AT WAR WITH ROMULANS, YAY PEACE =D"
*eyetwitch*


Week later, USS Hawkesbury is completed at Caldonia, Eden system is colonized, and with this we finish the update.

Goddamit Cardassians!
