Srsly. Another planetary shift. In the same day, Ferenginar is re-colonized by our settlers. As Admiral Nix's fleet joined the fleet of Admiral Hostergaard Jr., the bombardment of Ceti Alpha has been restarted. Few turns and it should be done.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As I said, it was fast. The fleets moved to the last Ferengi system, Berentalia, and will proceed with bombardment.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

At Turn 502, Ferengi Alliance has fallen. System will be resettled immediatelly. Federation Council passed a resolution that says we won't bombard any more systems to ensure peace. Klingons and Cardassians might be our enemies, but there was enough bloodshed of innocents. Besides, the Starfleet is almost invulnerable now. As Destruction of Ferengi Alliance has happened, our two Admirals have been redirected to other systems - Admiral Hostergaard Jr. is en route to Betazed for a long needed stay, whilst Admiral Nix will return to Sol System, paying a quick visit to Klingon space as well.
Cpt.Ivan 9th crashed a small strike group of Klingon ships at Stakoron system. Cpt.Euchre Jack is tasked to visit Cardassia - for obvious reasons. And, last but not least, Cpt.Jarod Cain has been appointed as Commander of Conquered Regions, placing Romulan and Ferengi territories in his jurisdiction.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Wow, that came out of nowhere. We sent Zakdornian leaders our profound apologize with a large gift to show we're truly sorry for this incident.

What follows next is string of colonizations. Both Cardassians and Klingons shape up for war, but their limited resources aren't going to help. They attempt random strikes at our starbases, but they fail miserably.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oooh, that happens at Turn 527. Dunno what it does, though. We're now on tech level 11 across all six branches of science. Quite possibly it just gives a multiplier on our score when the game ends, like in Civilization games.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Look who visited Beltane system 10 turns later! Cpt.Jarod has been called to deal with this threat. Hopefully we will suffer no further losses.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Calamarain was destroyed by Starbase at Benzar. Cpt.Jarod expressed his dissappointment in lack of action. What to say, he has peaceful sector to maintain. However, Admiral Hostergaard and his fleet were called to Hurkos. Cardassians are amassing forces near their 'western' border, and intelligence reports indicate seven ships already, including two battleships.
Due to Cardassian and Klingon intrusions into our space, Starfleet Command ordered construction of eight Defiant-class starships. They will be sent in pairs, two pairs per neighbour, to intercept enemy vessels.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Just after our Defiants were deployed, our spies managed to steal Cardassian warship - and not just a mere destroyer, no, a Galor-class Battleship! It was take nto Trill system, where it will be evaluated and researched. I wonder if Cpt.Euchre Jack has anything against a Cardassian warship in his fleet!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turn 561



AT LAST!



After so many years of trials and tribulations, the dream has finally became reality.

We have many voices, but we have a common goal.

We are many worlds, but we stand united, in the cause of peace.

It is only the matter of time now, before our neighbours see the light, and join our great Federation.

We will welcome them, as we always welcomed new members; with open arms, and open minds.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And so we have won Star Trek: Birth of the Federation as the United Federation of Planets. More than 500 glorious turns of challenges and victories. We endured huge, endless wars with other races, united the scattered minor civilizations, defeated the Borg - twice! - and then conquered two of four galactic empires. During this LP, I made 335 screenshots, and due to random technical or my own faults, there should be kinda 10 or so more. Well, happens ;p

Although Cardassians and Klingons remained, their fleets are no match for us. In time, we will broker non-aggression with them, and after that, peace, that will unite this galaxy for decades to come.

Thanks all who were watching, especially the captains and admirals. Without you, the LP would be bland because I wouldn't feel so obligated to get us through all this.

Of course, special thanks to ivanthe8th for sharing his knowledge and experience in this game. Without him I would be propably still struggling over petty, easy things.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! ^_^

Cya around guys! And Qapla'! *wink wink nudge nudge* ;3

Harpe&Dylan:

At the Ready Room, there were two people. First Officer who was standing beside a desk, and Captain, sitting at it; she had her head bandaged. After briefly examining the two pilots, she nodded curtly at the chairs in front of the desk.

As you can see, even some Ferengi are on our side. Whilst valuable, their research logs won't really help us as we already achieved everything possible.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Damnation. It seems that Cardassians knew of our intents about Ledonia system. USS Glasgow has been ordered to return to Cpt.Euchre's fleet, while the colonization group has been redirected to one of empty systems in our space.

What follows is 8 turns of boredom.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

At Turn 435 our Constellations intercept pair of Klingon destroyers that were entering our space. That's all.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One of four that were scheduled to be created. At Emila, Ennan, Galen and Korris systems.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

With the construction of the deep space starbase, Cpt.Hostergaard Jr. has been ordered to visit Fereginar, defeat Ferengi fleet and send some quantum gifts to our large-eared friends.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

First, he meets a supply convoy.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

At Ferenginar, few destroyers, a war cruiser, and more supply ships.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Then, he began the bombardment, but the amount of orbital platforms was a bit too much, and USS Iroquis B has been lost during the battle. Starfleet Command therefore decided to promote Captain Hostergaard Jr. to the rank of Admiral, bringing him to equality with Admiral Nix.

In my eyes, a well earned promotion. His father would be surely proud.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ferenginar is no more at Turn 461. Admirals Nix and Hostergaard Jr. has been ordered to pulverize remaining three Ferengi worlds, and then they will be re-colonized by us.

Our path to victory, superiority and ultimately, peace, is clear, and it's finish, coming at us in great leaps.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As you can see, however, Ferengi decided to inflict as much damage as they can with their ships. We lost USS Wichita A, USS Isis B, and USS Cervera A, the previous flagship of Admiral Hostergaard Jr. and one of the last starships that have seen the Second Battle with Borg. As far as rumors go, even Klingons are impressed.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

At Beltane, Admiral Nix reported casualties as well. USS Monroe A, USS Fury A, and, sadly, USS Iroquis A have been lost during the initial bombardment.
These losses, as well as bombardments overall, caused the citizenry to formulate their protests across few systems. Nothing of major, internal conflict seems to appear, but this doesn't bode well for our close future. We will see how it goes.

In the meanwhile, Utopia Planitia has been queued with production of fourth Sovereign-class vessels to compensate the losses of our Admirals' fleets.

At Turn 474, our batch of new Sovereign-class Dreadnoughts is complete. USS Roosevelt and USS Essex shall join Admiral Hostergaard Jr., while USS Marshall and USS Colossus were ordered to join Admiral Nix.

At Turn 484, Beltane is clear of Ferengi. However, people of Chalna are loudly speaking of injustice and terrible crimes we have done. Several other planetary systems are disgruntled with our methods. Admiral Hostergaard has been ordered to cease bombardment of Ceti Alpha for now. In the meanwhile, Cpt.Euchre Jack has been ordered to investigate our intelligence reports about three battleships in orbit of Cardassia.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They returned fire! For first time ever, if I recall correctly! USS Glasgow received minor damage after it's shields collapsed, but ultimately, two Battleships and a cruiser accompanying them were destroyed. Intelligence reports that there are several other ships in the sector, third Battleship included. For now, Cpt.Euchre Jack has been ordered to return to the Trill system.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Welp. Have a random shift of Mercury for end of this update.
I think that next update will propably be the finish of this LP. We have 40 or so colonies, and after we re-colonize Ferengi worlds, it will push us over needed 75%.

Up to Turn 400, there's nothing special happening. We sent non-aggression proposals to both Klingons and Cardassians. They've seen how we decimated Romulans so hopefully they will be willing to listen to us.

They both refuse, but Cardassians shown indication that our offer was simply not good enough, not because they hate us that much. Klingons' refusal was more of the lines 'no, fuck you', so Cpt.Ivan 9th, with his fleet has been sent to show our superiority to the hairy brutes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

But honestly what's with all those planetary shifts lately.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

En route to that unexplored system, USS Sybil has deteced a small build-up of ships at the border. Our Constellations were ordered to intercept.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They moved the Battleship there in that short period between Sybil's pass and Constellations' arrival. Our destroyers retreated safely but for now none of our fleets - except Ivan's, who is busy with Klingons - are able to reach that system. As we will be making a colony soon at Kataan and Altec, Admiral Nix and his fleet were ordered to secure the region.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Another of Ivan's visits at Exo system - another Klingon convoy destroyed. Do they never learn...?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

First of last six scientific breakthroughs.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ivan's fleet managed to ambush and destroy small Klingon starship group, consisting of a scout, two destroyers and K'tinga cruiser.

USS Sybil completes his almost suicidal mission of chartering Ferenginar system. He was ordered to Andor. We know our enemies better now.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ohhh, that's some military force! Whilst still far inferior to Admiral's fleet, it is a potential threat for Federation. And everyone knows what to do with potential threats. As soon as Starbase at Kataan system is complete, Admiral will attack the system. It might be interesting fight!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Another space tree approaching. As soon as it will be in range of Cpt.Euchre's fleet, it shal be intercepted and destroyed.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As you can see, Kataan was colonized ahead of schedule. I'm actually slightly worried about the forces amassing in Alpha Cygnus, so the colony will deviate from standard construction plans to afford buying a scanner. As soon as teh Starbase is completed, Admiral Nix will be sent to the system to investigate and destroy the Cardassian forces.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Second and third of last six breakthroughs.
Admiral's fleet ventured to Alpha Cygnus and... found a single Cardassian colony ship. No trace of any cruisers, battleship or transports. The enemy fleet went away during settlement of Kataan, it seems. Admiral has been ordered to go to Altec and oversee the construction of colony there.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Another Crystal Entity destroyed, albeit during the fight, Cpt.Euchre Jack lost one of his ships, Galaxy-X cruiser, USS Memphis A, his previous flagship.
As you can see, fourth Level 10 breakthrough in sciences allowed us to modernize Sovereign-class dreadnoughts.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Few more turns and skirmishes later, we get last two upgrades. Defiant Heavy Escorts are beasts. Powerful, super fast starships.
In an effort to cut Cardassians from several systems on their 'right', Cpt.Euchre Jack sent USS Glasgow with colonization group to Ledonia system, to establish a base here.
And, to reach Ferenginar, Cpt.Hostergaard will depart with construction ships to construct a deep space base, which will allow our ships to reach Ferengi space either via Benzar or Andor systems.

As a bonus of this lengthy update, have a galaxy map for yourselves :3

To: Harpe, Novice Pilot
From: Sergei Romanov, First Officer

Due to my recent conversation with Captain, after reviewing your performance, we decided to nominate You as the official squad leader of Scylla's suits. Please report to Captain's ready room immediately.

That was the whole message.

Harpe:

Just as she laid on the bed, her wall computer began beeping quietly. She had a message, and given the red color of the announcement, it came straight from captain. Or first officer.

Kira:

This time, there was no nightmares. There was no dreams at all.

Few more skirmishes with Ferengi occur. Won't be mentioning them again until something 'large' happens.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This boosts Acamar population to 410 millions.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Why it is always the Charge Collectors? Dammit, had to take off Isolinear Scanner off to power up private farms and replicator.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One turn later, Admiral Nix receives Emerald and Berwick. After short discussion with the captains, USS Champlin B and USS Harding B will be sent to Angosia.
Next turn, Cpt.Euchre Jack receives his Galaxy-X cruisers as well. At Sol system, USS Huntington leaves Utopia Planitia shipyards and together with USS Belfast, warped out toward Andor, where Cpt.Jarod Cain is currently stationed with his fleet.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh hello there, sentient starship. That is Gomtuu, quite possibly the only 'genuinely friendly' roaming game entity in BotF. As long as you don't attack it, it just warps away peacefully.
Next turn, we have several skirmishes with Romulans, Klingons and Ferengi. 8 or so scout/destroyer ships were eliminated.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

At last. Of course, membership proposal followed shortly afterwards. [Ivan's method worked on first time. Derp!]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It has been done. Romulan Star Empire is no more. Admiral and his fleet have been ordered to Betazed, for a well-earned leave. Of course, all other fleets were helpful too. With Romulans gone, we can concentrate on other primary threat - the Ferengi. Colony convoys are being built at Acamar, so our people can settle down on ruins of Romulan cities.

Their lacks will be quickly fixed. We have Andorian mega system. Yeeeeeeesss c:

Everyone:

"Warning. Night shift begins. All non-essential personnel is advised to take a rest." The intercom shouted in all corridors and rooms.

Dylan:

"Novice pilot Dylan Bowmen, please report to the Captain's ready room." The computer spoke the message right above Dylan's head.

Kira:

Unfortunately, Kira's mind preferred to dream against her wishes. She was in large hangar, with no one else but late Tsuchi. He was standing and just staring into the front of them, and in front of them, there was a mecha. Green, rather smooth and curvy. Rather familiar sight.

The mecha lifted it's hand and swung it at Tsuchi, who didn't moved an inch. Kira couldn't move, barely breathing was possible for her. Just as the fist smashed her teammate against the floor, there was a thunderous explosion and suddenly Kira was again in her quarters, staring at the dark ceiling.

We start off with a fight. Hostergaard's fleet prevented a cruiser and transport from reaching Benzar planets.
Cpt.Jarod was ordered to warp to Andor. The official reason is to keep watch for Ferengi intruders. The unofficial reason is in an encrypted datapad which is allowed to be opened on a signal from Starfleet Command.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Six Galaxy-X cruisers have been ordered at Utopia Planitia. Two pairs will be sent to captains Jarod Cain and Euchre Jack to strengthen their fleet. The last pair will join Admiral Nix's fleet. His fleet, whilst being veterans of many battles, including the second battle with Borg, is comprised mostly of Ambassador-class cruisers. It is time that Admiral receives better firepower and new technological advances. As his fleet already have 9 starships, most propably a pair of Ambassadors will be sent to Angosia to enhance their defense fleet.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Few turns later we get a sensor report. Apparently Cardassians built a Battleship. Our spies confirmed that it is indeed a powerful warship. While still it is no match for a Sovereign-class Federation starship, it does prove that Cardassians are making tremendous progress in research.
They are certainly funded by Ferengi... one can guess how vast are Ferenginar treasure vaults.

Nevertheless, Cpt.Euchre Jack was sent with his fleet to Cardassia to disrupt the fleet construction whilst it's still weak and tiny.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh and that appeared near Hoek system. Cpt.Ivan 9th has been sent to deal with the intruder.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Battleship has been destroyed. In the meanwhile, Husnock Raider ship warps to Pelleus and destroys the local outpost. Admiral Nix finished 'puryfying' Kentanna system and is moving to Altec system, the last native Romulan system.
Andorians still refuse our bribes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Husnock Raider intercepted and destroyed. Sadly in the same time earthquake ravages one of Angosian planets.

Next turn, USS Berwick A, Galaxy-X cruiser is completed. Together with USS Emerald, they were sent to Admiral Nix's fleet at Altec system.

Few next turns are filled with one-sided skirmishes with random Ferengi starships which get obliterated rather easily.

At turn 385, USS Kwon Do is completed at Utopia Planitia. With USS Glasgow, they were sent to Trill, with orders to join the fleet of Cpt.Euchre Jack.

That's all for now. Nothing super interesting this turn, expect maybe that Husnock intrusion.

29383
The old poll was a tie: 3 votes for wiping our Romulans, then colonization, and 3 votes for killing everything :P

New poll. Just for example thing, in my previous game, I had Zakdorn refuse my bribes for 100+ turns before they abandoned Ferengi and switched sides. Cast your votes and ultimately decide what to do with the Andorians!

Andorian minor race bonus: Academy which basically works like Starfleet/Zakdorn Academy. Not to mention we don't have to get that 550 million people + infrastructure to rebuild.
