Moving pagan symbol of some kind, I guess?

11.


Bunch of diplomatic news, including Sheliak becoming our friends.


Terrorists strike again. Our homeworld was struck this time, but fortunately the shipyard was inactive. It's matter of rebuilding it.
USS Boston, Miranda-class, completed at Yridia. That's the last of warships queued in that system. Now, few transports and colony ships were ordered for construction. Same at Mizar, so we can colonize Evadne system.
Yridian fleet, except USS Kirkland, has been sent to the Ariannus system, to help RNZ Task Force with it's bombardment.


...Eh, we're in planetary shift season again, it seems.


Week after that, we have scientific breakthrough! Our deepspace Yridian Scouts report that Cardassians have constructed a sturdier ship, a cruiser-type vessel, it seems.


We have cleansed Emilia system from the Cardassians. It shall be terraformed fully and soon, colonized.
It has been decided that Mintaka system shall be the place of our new Intelligence HQ.


Another sabotage. Fortunately it again struck inactive buildings so there's no starvation danger at Sol.

Next week, USS Iroquis, Ambassador, is completed at Yridia.
In the same time, at Sol, the building of Federation Council is at last completed. My seat as well that of Admirals and Ambassadors was at last moved into one place.


Soon afterwards, Sheliak send us affiliation treaty. Of course we accept it.

Next week, two more cruisers: USS Crescent and USS Warakurna, are finished, respectively, in Takara and Yridia.


Our scouts venture into very heart of Cardassian Union, spying upon enemy vessels before retreating.


Next day, we hear that Cardassians and Romulans signed a military alliance.
Miranda-class destroyer, USS Sakai, is completed at Yridia. Sheliak Raider vessels are currently going through our space, possibly toward Ferengi planetary systems. They don't give us any explanation for this.


Just as Ariannus colony is destroyed, our scientists improve our knowledge in Propulsion. RNZ Task Force is returning to Quadra Sigma, whilst Yridian Task Force is going to Romulan system called Kurill. To maintain discipline in the groups, Captain Jarod Cain has been transferred to USS Zarnitza, Ambassador-class starship in Yridian Task Force.
Similarily, Captain Illi Kor was given the seat of command over the fleet at USS Monroe, Ambassador-class in RNZ Task Force.
At Yridian shipyards another Miranda is completed: USS Venice.


And this is Cardassian-Ferengi border. As you can see, Sheliak visit Harod system for reasons unknown, not even interrupting the outpost construction there. Who knows what they're planning!

10.

After Cpt.Dell took command of USS Everett, he was ordered to take USS Brunswick and converge with three destroyers from Takara at Emilia system. If Cardassian Union won't yield, we shall declare war upon this blatant act of invasion.

Next turn, Cardassian scout briefly enters Dimorus system before retreating and USS Madison, Ambassador-class cruiser is completed at Yridia.


Romulans and Cardassians must've formed a war pact against us. This not only allows us to bombard Emilia colony, but the citizenry is with us - the morale have risen amongst our planetary systems.
USS Lachlan, another Miranda is completed at Takara, given new, prolonged designation, NCC-11214.


USS Montreal, en route to Emilia, had to scare away a Cardassian scout.


That certainly doesn't help us, not even a bit.
USS Zarnitza, one of Ambassadors, is completed at Yridia. Along with the USS Madison and two Mirandas, they shall attack Romulan outpost at the border of Yridian space. Also, Sheliak sent us a message, I wonder what kind of insults it is now.


...Oh, don't even mention it!
After briefly consulting with the councils of our member worlds, we've sent a friendship proposal to the Sheliak, who seemingly were assaulted by Cardassian scout or two. They could be valuable allies!


Next week, we learn that Romulans and Cardassians are on a good route to alliance. Ferengi are standing on the side and watching. Quite possibly our northern neighbours are wondering if they should join the conflict, and if they should - on which side.


RNZ Task Force that just returned from Ariannus has been set to intercept the detected destroyers. Hopefully we will destroy them as easily as the outpost.
USS Alacrity, Oberth-class scout is completed at Yridia (to replace our losses), and USS Condamine at Takara. Along with USS Lachlan, the two destroyers were sent to secure Dimorus system.


Romulan destroyers evaded the RNZ Task Force and struck the Altec outpost. The valiant crew managed to down two of Romulan vessels and damage one other before the strike group warped out.


The attack at Romulan outpost goes slightly worse. Whilst said Outpost is destroyed, so is USS Winnipeg, Miranda-class destroyer. The other destroyer, USS Kirkland, got heavily damaged after it's shields collapsed.

Few hours after the battles, we receive a couple of diplomatic news:


The citizenry still believes in Starfleet and Federation as whole, and morale have risen. Sheliak apparently ignored our friendship treaty.
So we've sent another, this time with small gift attached to the letter.
USS Khartoum and USS Cavalier completed at Takara and Yridia. Both are Oberth-class scouts.

Next week, an immeasurable tragedy occurs.


Before we could do anything, Oceanus system has been wiped out by supernova. All that's left is a cloud of planetary debris. There were no survivors. Not only this cripples our economy, as Oceanus was our first and largest colony, but the Internal Security HQ was located there as well, leaving us vulnerable for Romulan and Cardassian saboteurs. Takarans offered to train some agents and build databanks for us.

From shipyard news: USS Andromede, Oberth, Takara, and USS Helmsdale, Miranda, Yridia.

One week mourning has been declared at all member worlds due to Oceanus cataclysm, and our scientists try to estimate and predict any future supernovas.
Supernova research is now our primary concern - Mintaka, Hurada and Dimorus are systems with red giants too. If they will go supernova as well, the short and long-term results would be devastating for the Federation.

Aahahahah, that was brilliant
