COLONIZE THE FEDERATION OUTBACK
- Captain Scott Tenhoff, USS California
Beginning on Turn #7 with the Coalition invasion, the Federation should begin setting up Colonies within the 5th Fleet (Gorn Border) area of deployment. The released tug from the 5th Fleet can immediately begin setting up a colony, and additionally the Federation can build a new convoy (at any Strategic Movement Node) which can move to begin setting up a second colony within the 5th Fleet deployment area.
These colonies should be set up as far away from the Romulan border as possible (so up by the xx01-xx05 area) to prevent pre-war Romulan raids from attacking the tug or convoy. Beginning these colonies here prevents any Klingon involvement in their construction, and they will be significantly far away from the Romulans to prevent their attacks.
The Romulans should likewise immediately begin sending SPHs (one) to begin building colonies southeast of their Capital (towards their off-map area) as these areas are not likely to be targeted by Federation or Gorn attacks.
