11.Up to Turn 110 nothing happens.
At that turn, outpost at Ullia is completed and construction of outpost at Malcoria have begun. Soon we might be able to reach behind Cardassian space.
Not to mention that frequent gifts and talks with Malcorians bring them closer to the Federation with every week.
Next week, USS Khartoum under command of Cpt.Cain sets toward the space between Cardassian and Ferengi territories, whilst the reptile-people send us a demand. It is higher than previously - who knows what might've caused them to grew bold.
Of course, we will rejected their nonsensical requests.
We also decided that more colonies will be needed. Holsberg system presents itself as worthy target - several medium planets with a waterworld included. It is however quite close to Cardassian space, and Starfleet Command decided to host another task force comprised of 2 Oberths and 4 Mirandas. They will be stationed at Holsberg during and after the colony his created.
Celebrations are held across the Federation as the Malcorians join us!
They're just slightly more advanced with us and their technology will surely boost our own research. After the crucial buildings are completed, the Kinetic Laboratory shall be funded, where newest propulsion engines shall be developed.
Malcoria will also serve as the main rally point in case of Cardassian war.
Next week, Cardassians sent us this statement and broke the peace treaty we signed just few weeks ago. This puts us basically in the state of cold war. USS Khartoum has been ordered to spy on the border sectors, whilst reinforcing Malcor and creating our 3rd task force is our priority now.
Outpost has been completed at Malcor, as you can see it.
USS Khartoum has been ordered to spy as much as they can, however Cpt.Cain has been told to be careful.
At Caldonia, we finished the assembly of Miranda-class starship, USS Nautilus.
Week later, Cpt.Cain discovers a new star-faring civilization - the Romulans. After many hours of being asked for information, Khartoum departed further into the space.
Several days later USS Majestic leaves Caldonian shipyard and is sent to Holsberg to join Nautilus there.
Same day we also detect this strike force near Ullia. One can wonder if it's just a bunch of ships doing patrol duty or maybe the Ferengi are preparing to attack our affiliates. Given how poorly we treated the merchant-folk in recent past, they might still be angry.
We don't detect any Cardassian ships so far, besides single colony ship working near Ingraham B system.
Next week we receive a report from Khartoum, which charted a Cardassian-inhabited system near the Cardassian-Romulan border.
The ferengi ships entered Ullia without provocation but they haven't attacked us so far // le what?
USS Martynov, first Oberth of the third task group, is finished at Caldonian yards.
Also, Xerxes system upgraded it's replicators thus turning into new shipyard site, but so far we have no orders for that system.
Next week Cardassians tell us they are aware of USS Khartoum in their territory.
US Sandhusky is completed at Caldonia. Ferengi continue to probe our outer territories with their scout ships.
At Turn 122, Romulans sign a non-aggression treaty with us, which quelled the discontent amongst our citizenry.
USS Miranda, namesake of her class, is finished at Caldonia. Because we need a proper commander at Holsberg system,
Captain Neer Dell is promoted and will control the fleet. He can take personal command of
Nautilus, Majestic, Miranda or the fourth ship that will soon be finished.
Another Cardassian system chartered. However, Khartoum found out that it is being chased by a pair of Cardassian destroyers. Cpt.Cain has been ordered to abandon spying on Cardassians, run a curve through neutral space and rendevous with the fleet at Malcor.
Asking for peace whilst amassing 10 scouts and 3 destroyers right under our nose? No, I don't think so. Khartoum have lost the intercepting destroyers and is now conducting just one more system charter before going straight to Malcor.
USS Brunswick is completed at Caldonia which makes it
fourth vessel that Cpt.Dell can choose from.
And with this we conclude this update
