Description: The Klingon Empire is occupying a planet for unknown reasons. You are sent to investigate. What you discover will alter your perception of the cosmos, its past, and its present.

Mission Title: Vulcan Love Slave #9
Faction: Federation, Any LVL
Description: The death of a Starfleet Admiral at Prell’s Gentlemen’s Club requires an investigation. What you discover may have far-reaching consequences for Federation law and the rights of many artificial life forms.
Author’s notes: I made this mission a few months back, but I haven’t advertised it much. I’m proud of it, so it’s sad that it’s one of my least played missions. It was also an ambitious attempt to resolve lingering and unanswered cliff-hangers of Cryptic’s official “path to 2409.” Because I’m now convinced that certain parts of the path will never be addressed or completed, I decided to do so myself.
I hope that you enjoy it. Please leave feedback. Thanks!

Stats
STO Foundry author Nagorak weighs in with his research about ship scaling for NPCs (non-player characters).
Using the STO Foundry, “I managed to determine the ship scaling for the Foundry ship groups up to five (5) players*. What I’ve discovered is that the NPC actors always remain the same type of ship, but which ships spawn varies depending on the number of players (and it’s not as simple as spawning in order of the actor list).”
“There is also some variation in hull strength (and maybe damage output) of the ships to further balance the groups. So, for example, one battleship may have more hull than another in that group or a different group. That difference in strength explains why there are some identical spawns with different actors. (For example, with the battleship group, you get a battleship and dreadnought both with 4 and 5 players, but the 5 player spawns are stronger.)”
“I believe the information is accurate, but I had to record a lot of different groups, so it’s not outside the realm of possibility that I made a mistake. If there is a mistake, then it will only be in the exact mix of ships at each player amount. The exact type of ship each actor is (which is the most important info) should be correct.”
Mission: The Needs of the Few
ST-HMXXUBCKU
Faction: Federation
Level: All
Description: A newly warp-capable species is in the process of applying to join the Federation. You are tasked with exploring their world and making a recommendation to the Federation Council.
Author notes: This is my second diplomacy mission. There is no combat and plenty of reading involved. In some ways, it is very similar to “The Return to Terra Nova,” as far as mission mechanics go. However, my goal was to center the mission around a choice, which I was unable to do in “The Return to Terra Nova.”
This mission is also my most issue-oriented story, meant to generate heated debates about relevant social issues of the past, present, and future. Please give it a try, and let me know what you think.
Also, please let me know if you spot typos. I’m still polishing the text, and I need help.
The conclusion to the Unholy Alliances Triology. I have developed a teaser trailer to help encourage people to play the mission. It’s for Federation players level 41+.
Synopsis: We have obtained the algorithm to unlock the Claw database we recovered. It’s still being analyzed. However, we do know that the Claw is being supplied with designs for advanced holographic technology, while a holographic virus is granting artificial sentience to holograms all over the quadrant.
It originates from an mining facility in the Otha VIII planetary system. Go to the Otha system in Eta Eridani to investigate and stop the Claw.
MISSION REVIEW : The Floods at Home. Part 1
AUTHOR : Woody_Valley
MISSION STAGE : FINAL DRAFT – Holodeck
PROJECTID:(Pt1)ST-HN9CS9IDR(Pt2)ST-HMVKDJ2ZS
ALLEGIANCE : Starfleet
LEVEL : Any Level
DESCRIPTION : From the 23rd of December 2010 to 16 of January 2011, the State of Queensland, Australia saw some of the worst flooding in its history. 60% of the state was flooded from this Natural Disaster.
This Foundry mission was based on some of the events that happened, but with Starfleet playing the role of the Australian Defence Force. For a better understanding of what happened during that time, I have linked a Youtube 7 part series on the floods.

I have published the final chapter in my Unholy Alliances triology. If you have not played the other missions in the series – why not? Go do it now. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions on my mission. Thank you.
I am pleased to announce that I have released the 4th episode of my Spawn of Medusa story Arc. This episode leads the build up into the series finale. It is a very story heavy episode with Diplomatic requirements and very little combat, but the story’s plot twist will lead the player to a discovery of epic proportions and indeed send them to a place where no man has gone before. Story Leads off where Part III ends.
Spawn of Medusa IV – The Awakening: “As you prepare for a scientific commission to join you on Julip Prime to study the ruins recently discovered, you are hailed by Admiral Fedrikson and ordered to immediately divert to the newly rebuilt Argus Array. It has been monitoring the Medusik’s fleet movements and has stopped transmitting. Who and what you find will lead you on an unexpected adventure to solve one of Earth’s greatest mysteries and prepare you for the final showdown with a new ally against the evil Medusa Frow and her remaining 5 daughters.”

Times are some what difficult in the Federation. The Federation is at war with the Klingons, the neutral zone is in chaos, The True Way is making trouble for the new Cardassian civil government. Yet somehow things stay the same. Scientific discovery is still one of the core tenants of Starfleet but what happens when the persuit of scientific discovery clashes with the necessities of war something has to give. This was not an option for Captain Thl’ryk (pronounced Thool’rike) of the U.S.S. Toledo a man whom duty and honour meant alot and sought to find a solution to this problem.
Queue your intrepid captain, while it may seem a rather boring routine task it is still important and one of the few non-military tasks that Starfleet performs. You are tasked with ferrying what seems to be an innocuous unknown substance from the backwater JFS47 system in the Hromi Sector of the Pi Canis sector block back to Memory Alpha. Things don’t stay so innocuous for long when the U.S.S. Toledo’s warp core goes critical. So now not only do you have to investigate what happened to the U.S.S. Toledo but also prevent it from happening to the ship under your command as well. How can something seemingly so innocuous be so deadly? Find out in this non-combat Science mission today! Available on Holodeck!
Summary: One of Starfleet’s many missions is making navigational charts of explored space. Survey duty isn’t generally the most exciting in the universe unless you find something unexpected… and this unexpected discovery becomes an unusual relief mission. Diplomacy is the order of the day, especially considering the people you meet…
