The Tholians have made a new enemy in the form of the Talarian Republic, the Talarians realize that was is now not only unavoidable, it's also inevitable. What most don't know is that this is the start of the Federation-Tholian War, but it starts with a whimper and not a bang as many had expected.
Mission 131: Civil Defense
Post Count: 0The Federation needs to organize its allies and protectorates into a cohesive group, all working together on the same page.
There will be several meetings held to facilitate this, and one of these meetings will be held on Starbase Vanguard to organize a cohesive defence should the Taurus Reach become attacked.
There are many who oppose this as several independent human colonies resist the idea of working with others and need to be brought on board, lest the Tholian's do it for them.
Mission 132: Maneuvers
Post Count: 0The Starfleet forces in the Taurus Reach has to go provide extra protection for the colonies they set up, those were easy enough but its the independent colonies who must decide how much help they want and who to see about it, will they set up their own defenses or look to Starfleet to protect them? and what role will the Tholians play in all of this?
