In "Legacy", the Enterprise must rescue two crewmen held on the colony of Turkana IV.
If an ISD were placed in the same situation, how would it resolve the situation?

Re: Turkana IV hostage situation
Depends on the government in charge of the ISD. Imperial captain would threaten to BDZ the planet, then start taking it apart one grid at a time. NR captain would possibly send in a commando raid to retrieve their crewmen.Uraniun235 wrote:In "Legacy", the Enterprise must rescue two crewmen held on the colony of Turkana IV.

For once? You mean when I said the Empire would defeat the Federation through superior FTL, greater numbers, and more powerful ships, I was wrong?RayCav of ASVS wrote:I'd have to say, Alesyka's right for once.Alyeska wrote:Depends on the government in charge of the ISD.

Either the ISD captain would say screw them and just leave them behind, or just in case they give up valuable information, just slag the planet and all that remain.

If that's the episode with Yar's sister, I don't think that situation would have happened.Uraniun235 wrote:In "Legacy", the Enterprise must rescue two crewmen held on the colony of Turkana IV.

Once the government started to lose control of the population, an Imperial garrison would have come in to restore order. Unlike SF which was unable to go in.
