Prepare for the Imperial Invasion

Shadow WarChief · Post by **Shadow WarChief** » 2002-07-12 06:12pm

You have recently been appointed President of the Federation and you know that in 1 year, the Imperials will rush through the as of yet undiscovered worm-hole.

What do you do to prepare to fight the imperials as best as possible and minimize losses.

Surrendering as the first Star Destroyer comes through is not an option.

How did I find out?

Begin developing any and all technology - let section 31 go wild.

Start making alliances.

Search for the wormholes.

Prep ships for combat and crank out as many warships as possible.

Recall all ships to federation space.

PS Have I got that sweet post endgame Voyager tech?

Try and find a TOS Connie.

lol yeah a few grams of the antimatter they carry can rip the atmosphere off a plannet.

25 grams of TOS antimatter is equivalent to 3,000,000,000,000,000 TJ.

Take that Imps

And this was my 400 post Or rather it was

Eh how the posts fly by

Don't surrender per se, ask for vassalship, or if the Empire wants complete control, ask to be allowed to join. That oughta work.

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2002-07-12 07:25pm

Surredner ask to join bascily the same thing(Just no fighting involved in one)

Surrender starmaps, intelligence data, and a few planets that were too far from Earth anyway in exchange for vassalship, aim the Imperials at your pesky neighbours.

Don't forget to give them the prefix code of ships like the Enterprise; you can't risk having them ruining everything with some half assed subspace bomb of doom or similar BS.

I'd invite the Borg over to have a look at all the new tech the Imps have.

Acutal I make sure Picard was off his ship a week before they are supposed to Arrive
And give him a spiffy new Red-shirt for his Birthday

yeah If I was the leader of the feds I'd let all the people go on holidays
& not have to go to work & not have to pay bills etc.

TheDarkling · Post by **TheDarkling** » 2002-07-12 10:17pm

he IMP might be able to take over the Feds (I think they would take some losses if fought but that all depends on which numbers are in use) but could they keep control - they couldnt hold onto their own space why would the Feds be different.

Hey, if the FedCitizens will live in an amoral communist nation, they'll live in a amoral empire. The biggest difference will be easier access to better consumer goods.

Or, I could send Timothy Jones to an ISD, and the Imperials would assume that the Federation Galaxy contains no intelligent life forms. But that might make the Feds look like easier prey. The only option would be to transform to an alternate dimension where the rules of combat are akin to a Trekkie Newsgroup Fantasy.

SirNitram: Amoral?????? Have you ever heard Picard speak.
Also as for the consumer goods - Replicator.

Darth Yoshi · Post by **Darth Yoshi** » 2002-07-12 10:44pm

Replicator, shmeplicator. If no one makes it, you replicate it. After all, you do need something to replicate.

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2002-07-12 10:48pm

Also Remener replicators are not perfect and they have an error factor(Why Repilcated foods don't taste as good as made foods and thus why they still have Chiefs around)

So Say
Replicate Pentium XXXIV and Motherboard for it!
Might not exactly work

Though it should work for stuffed animals and the like
The cheap gifts become cheaper

TheDarkling · Post by **TheDarkling** » 2002-07-12 10:49pm

Well when you put it that way I would be happy to surrender my freedom for slightly better food.

I've heard Picard speak. I've also heard Tarkin speak. They both sound real good if it's what you want to hear, but how about watching what they do?

Picard allows entire civilizations to die, because of a petty 'Prime Directive' and a moronic Slippery Slope fallacy in his head. Tarkin is only slightly worse, slaying billions, many of them probably innocent of any wrong against the Empire, for interrogation and demonstration.

Yes, the Federation is amoral. Deal with it.

As for consumer goods, Replicators repeatedly show themselves incapable of replicating things, from blood to rainwater. Besides, with your precious replicators, civilians still can't own ships. One KDY-owned shipyard in the new Imperial-run UFP and people will be able to their own custom, luxury rides that outrun even Borg vessels.
