A limited engagement… I am dusting off the few episodes of this mini-CJ for your amusement and edification. It may possibly inspire me to go back and add some more once I post them all. In the mean time, beam yourself aboard Beta 6!

Star Trek Outpost Beta 6

Update 1: The Prequel

Things between the Klingons and Federation have never been too cozy. Even when there is a peace treaty, the peace is very fragile. In an effort to create galactic stability and prosperity, the Federation and the Klingon High Council have been meeting at Khitomer to discuss new ways to strengthen the alliance. Since the failed attempt at joint colonization at Nimbus III, both sides have been wary. Now, it falls on the crew of the Enterprise to save the conference from disaster.

OK, it’s up to us to save the galaxy… again. Anyone have any bright ideas?

Logically, we should negotiate a settlement with the Klingons. I calculate the odds of success at 1623.772 to 1.

Blast it, Spock!! I have had it with your blasted Vulcan logic!! Diplomacy’s dead, Jim!

I! have! Got! To! Think! Of! An! Idea!

Perhaps, Captain, we could consider a joint colony on a more hospitable planet, such as Schulmanius Prime.

Isn’t! that! Near! The! Neutral! Zone!?

Then, sir, I recommend Beta 6. It is a Class M planet and is not ruled by a rigid felinocracy, as is Schulmanius Prime.

Make it so!

The proposal was sent to the delegates, who had a lively and spirited discussion.

You dishonorable scum! You must now die at my hand!

You are most illogical, Ambassador. Please read section 8 of my proposal…

I must avenge the Empire! I shall send this proposal to Stovo’Qor!

I will now attempt a mind meld… my mind to your mind…. We are becoming one…. I now know what to do to strike a deal…. Sign now and you will get a freighter full of batleths and a case of fresh goQ.

You are a good negotiator. Not much of a warrior, but, what can you say? Can’t be all things to all people.

Once the deal was struck, each side contacted home to begin preparations.

Star Base 163 to Enterprise: prepare to beam over the colonists and supplies.

Beam ‘em up, Scotty!

Warriors! Today is a good day to colonize! Let’s take over Beta 6 and then Beta 3 and 9. Then, on to 12 and 15 and all of the multiples of 3! For the Empire!!!!!!!!!
