What if the fed space lane was moved due north?
Yeah, that’s the “Z” shape, something like this (rough sketch only):
The “И” shape would be something like this:
Very helpful, thanks. Let’s go with the second of those.
(Is the plan to block the Klingons in 
?)
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
System: Son’a Prime (PR-3)
Exploration: Neutronic Wave Front (Either exhaust a Command to place all Ships in Warp, or all ships face H4.)
You don’t have a Command to exhaust, but I think the Science Fleet bonus applies.
Ship lost on 4+: d6: 4
One ship lost; Science Fleet disperses.
You are in a position to talk trade with both Federation and Vulcan.
Lovely. @Canadian_Errant Greetings star ship of the United Federation of Planets. Can we of the Romulan Star Empire interest you in an exchange of 3 production trade agreements?
If yes, then read this one.
Recall 2p and 3p TAs. Exchange 3p for 3p with the Federation. Offer 2p for 1c TA with the Vulcans.
If no, then read this one.
A shame. Perhaps you would accept an exchange of 1 production trade agreements? Regardless, we’ll accept the the 1c TA from the Vulcans without recalling the 3p TA and just recall the 2 TA from the Klingons, ready to offer it again if they make contact on their turn.
Ah, well then that one’s on me.
I believe my 3P trade agreement is still available in which case, yes, I believe that we can come to a mutually acceptable agreement with the Romulans.
I’ll have to find another route to Dakala.
(Ferengi gain 2 production)
Ace. @Delwayne can I interest you in a 2p for 1c trade agreement? (Netting @RossM ‘s freeloading Ferengi another two production if so.)

Don’t give the Klingons a straight line like that.
to Romulan? yes, your 2p for my 1c is okay.
(Ferengi gain two production) (again)
And finally card 9: Klingon (@Marx).
@Marx asked for a die roll:
Huh. Well. The galaxy is certainly… something… to Klingons. Such is life.
Build Phase
- Colonize Yuri (1 Ship and 1 Culture)
- Culture Node on Yuri (1P + 2C)
- Science Node on Yuri (2R + 1P)
- Science Node on Prexnax (2R + 1P)… reminder that my total Research is actually 4, not 3
- 3 Ships at Kronos
Final Resources: 2P, 0R, 0C
Command Phase
- Ship at Kronos enters Warp
- Ship at Kronos exits Warp and arrives at Black Hole. What the hey, I have ships and no Research, so worth the risk.
– Ship survives on a 1 or a 2:d6: 1
Hey, first time for everything. 1 Research on “Militarized Industry”, please.
- Command 3/6: Ship at Kronos enters Warp.
- Command 4/6: Ship at Kronos gains 1 Warp Token.
- Command 5/6: Ship at Kronos travels Kronos → Prexnax → Temporal Anomaly. Ideally, I’d like to stop just short of the anomaly so I don’t have to Brave it, but if I have to enter the system I’ll do so.
I’ll let @RogerBW roll the length and connect the two systems.
- Command 6/6: Ship at Kronos enters Warp.
Oh, and add the last ship I built at Kronos to the fleet there (I think I can do that for free), to put it back to the maximum 6. Thanks!
That’s turn for me.
