36.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.
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.
At Turn 435 our Constellations intercept pair of Klingon destroyers that were entering our space. That's all.
One of four that were scheduled to be created. At Emila, Ennan, Galen and Korris systems.
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.
First, he meets a supply convoy.
At Ferenginar, few destroyers, a war cruiser, and more supply ships.
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.
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.
Lost an image about Ceti Alpha siege :v
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.
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.
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.
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%.
