Start position as At StarDate 3197.001 (i.e. before the war starts)
One of the more conflict ridden parts of human space is Quadrant 7.
The worlds here are in a variety of levels of development, but all of those colonised are valuable.
The main human political groupings have staked their various claims over the last century, but political control has proved uncertain - and the military situation difficult.
None of the colony worlds yet have proper shipyard facilities, the most they can do is manufacture low-performance shuttles, interplanetary cargo ships and the like. High specification military ships have to be brought out from the Home Systems, and are therefore mostly FTL capable.
The fleets listed in the briefing below, are those available in Quadrant 7 at present.
FTL speeds are, as you know, constant at 1 parsec per day. Hyperspace message bubbles transmit at a speed of 2 parsecs per day (but require a working HSD to create and intercept).
All colonies have a communications HS generator in orbit around the star - outside the M25 Limit (the safety zone for operating a Hyperspace generator near a gravity well). Each colonial star system has at least 2 HS Transmission stations.
As the Colonial Authority for Quadrant 7, your task is to plan for the defence of the colonies under your protection.
You must agree on plans for the following:
1. Deployment of the fleets/ships.
2. Standing Orders for ships and fleets (remember the communication delays).
3. Recommendations for additional resources to be sent from home world - with a justification for the additional forces.
