Card 5: Borg (NPC) no actions
Card 6: Romulan (@Assussanni)
Romulan Build Phase
Colonise Son’a Prime (-1 ship, -1c).
Build Research Node on Son’a Prime (-1p, -2r).
Build Culture Node on Thonolan IV (-1p, -2c).
Commit research to Imperial Science Initiative (-1r).
Build 3 ships at Romulus and form into Science Fleet #1 (-3p).
End build phase. 0p, 0r, 2c.
Romulan Command Phase
Command 1: ship at Trill (already at warp) moves to Thonolan IV.
Commands 2,3&4: Science Fleet #1 enters warp, adds a warp token, then moves Romulus → Thonolan IV → explore heading 5 o’clock-ish.
(2 commands remaining)
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Space lane: d3+1: 2
System: Capella (PPC-3)
Exploration: Diplomatic Exchange (exchange up to 2 Resources of any type with the same number of another single type.)
(Which isn’t much use to you unless you want to downgrade your Culture tokens into something else.)
@Assussanni asked for a die roll:
I think I’ll keep my culture tokens, thanks!
Commands 5&6: Science Fleet #1 enters warp and explores. I’ll probably ask for some rearranging of the map when I see what the space lane length is (and unless I’m mistaken I can roll for length [8.6.1.2], freely rotate Capella, then place the space lane [8.6.1.3] which anchors Capella in place). Space lane length: d3+1: 4
Yup. That could get you to Rog, if Rog weren’t limited to one space lane. I think Goralis would be achievable too. But you did say “Explore”, so:
System: Indri VIII (RC-3)
Exploration: Transwarp Beacon (move the nearest Borg Cube here, or spawn one if no Cube is in play.)

Fun times. Explore is what I had in mind. If Capella moves so that it is up near Excaliba and Deneb V does a space lane of length 4 + a system fit approximately southwards?
Edit: if not, I guess just fit it as best you can, with Capella as far towards 3 o’clock as possible.
Actually, is it possible to position Capella such that a 2 length space lane could connect to Goralis in future? If not, then what you’ve got is fine (and exactly what I asked for to begin with… sorry!).
I think that’s the end of my turn, and mercifully the Borg have already acted this round. Phew.
Just about, yes. Done.
Final turn this round:

Diplomatic Cable
To All Polities,
the Federation Council is alarmed by the news that the Borg have arrived. We will be forming several battle fleets in order to combat this universal threat.
We stand together against this menace.

Build: 1 research on Labor Camps card. Colonize Izar. Build a production and research node on Izar. Then build 1 ship on Cardassia Prime.
End of build: 0p 0r 2c
C1/2: ship at Bajor in/out warps to Izar.
The build looks good. But getting a ship from Bajor to Izar will take three commands: in, add warp token, out.
Sorry, I mean straight there through a new space lane.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
OK, that might well work. Let’s see.
d3+1: 3
