There's also a Cardassian-populated system right behind Ferengi territory.
@EuchreJack: If anything, you will be Admiral
after we deal with localized Borg threat
===
27.The two Borg Cubes dissappeared from our radars. They haven't went up or left or down, so the only other explanation is that they went inside Romulan Empire, or rather what's left of it.
USS Nebula, namesake of it's class, has been finished at Takara whilst two destroyers, Newport B and Somali B, were constructed almost on the same moment. Newport B is also ninth ship in the local fleet, and thus said fleet was sent toward Morikin system to rendevous with other ships.
Next week, still no sign of Borg Cubes at Romulan Space. However, one of Designation 238 was replaced with 237, which means they are warping over several tiles per game turn just to get to inhabited system.
From shipyard news, we got USS Velasco (Ambassador) and USS L'Aventure B (Miranda), from Sol and Yridia respectively.
And then we notice this:
Deneb had 240+ million population just five turns ago.
The Borg are in Ferengi space. I've sent Yridians there just to make sure that the Cube there has a familiar designation.
One week later, Admiral Cain decided to dispatch USS Martynov into Romulan territory to try and find where the Cubes went. Cardassia, capital system of the Union, has fallen to Borg.
Another pair of Mirandas: Winnipeg B and Kirkland B - Shelia and Yridia.
Week later, we got another pair of destroyers ready (Montreal/Lachlan B) managed to sort our facts and knowledge:
There's for sure one Borg Cube in Deneb (Ferengi) system, and another in Galvin (Cardassians) system, as populations there drop rapidly.
One Cube is in the already decimated Adelphous system, and
Other Cube is in deep space roughly in middle between Cardassian and Romulan space.
The latter two are 238 and 237, so we're missing 235 and another 238. Hopefull they are in the aforementioned systems.
Wait no, that's bad if they're in Deneb! The combined fleets have been moved closer to Ferengi space.
Fuck. It's Cube 238 that got to Delta Vega.
Deneb system is besieged by Cube 235. The Cube at Galvin and, now as well, Tarchannen (Romulans) systems are yet of unknown designations.
Admiral Cain was directed to Delta Vega. He has 42 ships now, but the newly formed fleet from Shelia and Takara in on their way, so in the eve of battle, 51 Federation starships will be with him. There's also new fleet (8 ships) from Sol/Yridia, but they won't get there in time.
Condamine B, Jasmine A, Bato A - Miranda, Nebula, Oberth ships were finished this turn. We're on negative income now, but we saved 5500 credits, so we can continue building ships for a while.
One turn later, Yridian Scout confirms presence of the second Cube 238 in Galvin. With 238 in Delta Vega and 235 still in Deneb, it means that Cube 237 is in Tarchannen.
Or at least I hope it's 237.
This turn we got a scout and destroyer: USS Manitee A and USS Helmsdale B.
Fuck you, Husnock, I almost had heart attack when I've saw the monster icon in there, geez.
Turn later, we get USS Boston B at Shelia, and turn after that, Galaxy-cruiser and Oberth-scout: USS Tikuma and USS Sybil.
AND NEXT TURN WE FIGHT!
AND WE WIN!
We lost 15 ships again: 3 Oberths (Sandhusky, Moray, Narwhal) and 12 Mirandas (Miranda A and B, Majestic A, Helmsdale A, Brittain/Lantree/Tian An Men/Sitak A, Saratoga/Reliant A, Covington B ShirKahr B).
Sorry Hyo :v
The Cube left Deneb and went straight into Ferenginar. Ferengi beg us for affilliation treaty, and thus, for our help. To preserve the balance of the forces in that quarter of the Galaxy, we agree and Admiral Cain was tasked with helping the midgets. USS Hurutaka, Galaxy-class, and USS Sakai B, Miranda-class, are completed at Takara and Shelia. As soon as we assemble a fleet there, it will go and join Admiral Cain in Ferengi territory.
