Post subject:  Mission Ideas
Just kicking off a thread for future mission ideas etc.

I've been doing a bit of reading on the train about United Earth as it stands during our time and found an interesting article on the Earth-Kzin wars which (like all massive cat aliens) comes from The Animated Series.

It got me thinking about how these guys would be going about their business in 2155(ish). They were demilitarised at the end of the war and left with little to no military power but they seem to be quite relentless as a race and it seems inconceivable that they wouldn't be heard from for 200 years.

I'm thinking of a situation where a supposedly rogue faction tries to engineer a natural disaster on an Earth colony in an attempt to steal an NX ship and restore the glory of the Kzinti people. The idea isn't much more formed than that but you know how I like to scratch the paintwork from time to time.

It's certainly an interesting idea, though I've always trod carefully around anything that's been mentioned in TAS - I've never seen that particular series myself, but it seems to be largely ignored by the other series, and the few things I have read have had some big contradictions in it.

I think the idea is workable, but we'd have to tweak some of the suggested 'facts' about the Earth-Kzin wars. So far, the only timeframe that we have for them is sometime after First Contact with the Vulcans (2063), and 2069 (which is when Sulu apparently said they ended). Since Vulcan isn't mentioned anywhere, it seems a bit of an implausible timeline; Earth would have still be experimenting with warp drive and colonising our own solar system in those six short years. We could probably take Sulu's comment to mean 'about 200 years', in which case we could probably give ourselves a 50-year leeway on it, which would make it far more likely to have occurred, since Earth had been building starships (like the Emmette type, the older cargo ships, and the Conestoga) for a while before the NX class.

Adding to the ideas list, I remember the last time I ran this sim I started looking through a memory alpha article about the producers plans for a season 5, and I remember them talking about a first visit to the floating cloud city of Stratos, and thought that would be a good mission to do at some point, but I never got anywhere in terms of thinking up the content of such a mission

I think we could go through TOS to find a whole sampling of worlds whose origins could be explored.
