Q1

Londak
Kearsage helped the Caldonians convince the Klingons that their new research colony on Londak was just that, and was not a spy facility. (+25 relations with Caldonia).

Lorissa
Sarek and Miracht, later helped by the Apiata Queenship Unity, saved the lives of close to 50,000 Apiata colonists aboard the colony ship Lorissa, which had suffered a major engineering mishap, damaging the impulse engines. (+20 pp, +10 rp, colony saved, +25 relations with Apiata)

Battle of Oriolis
Polaris was attacked by Dawiar ships after a diplomatic misunderstanding, leading to the loss of the ship. Dryad picked up the survivors, covered by the Caitian Fathership Shrr'harr. Two Caitian swarmers were also lost. The Caitians and Dawiar go to war. (1 O, 1 T casualties. -50 Relations with Dawiar, +25 Relations with Caitians)

Gervanis
While conducting a geological survey of an Class O pelagic world in the 04 Tailor system, USS Sarek was confronted by an unknown cruiser, which demanded they leave the region before warping out. Sarek followed along the circuitous route the cruiser took, arriving at the Lecarre homeworld of Gervanis (aka Oculus V). The Lecarre attempted to plant a spy who'd undergone cosmetic surgery to resemble a Starfleet officer, but were foiled by the Sarek crew.

The Dawiar War
USS Cheron confronted a Dawiar Shakakoun that had destroyed a Caitian freighter in Federation space. The Shakakoun turned to move away; Cheron gave chase, engaging when the Dawiar ship turned back into Federation space and forcing down its shields. The Dawiar agreed to turn over the survivors of the freighter in exchange for safe passage back to Dawiar space. (Gain +15 pp)

Separately, USS Enterprise discovered a very rich seam of duranium on a class D planet in the Fenris System. Fenris IV is very near Dawiar space, making the site politically tricky for the Federation to exploit.

Hadd-Mal
The crew of the USS Miracht rescued the crew of the Gaeni Tech-Cruiser Hadd-Mal from an incipient warp core breach, caused due to an awry component of the warp core. (Gain +10 rp, 25 relations with Gaeni)

Apinae
The USS Courageous went on a diplomatic mission to Apinae to help facilitate negotiations surrounding the Apiata caste system and problems integrating the Apiata into the Federation. After Captain Ajam personally took in a 'defective' worker Apiata (who had a weak link to her Queen and little interest in more), the Apiata and the Federation negotiated terms under which Federation and Apiata relations could continue to develop. (Gain 25 relations with Apiata)

Q4

 * Nash ka'Sharren encounters a temporal anomaly that sends her to meet Thalisar the Last.
 * USS Courageous thwarts attempts at commerce raiding by CDF Parok and the Dawiar ship Thrakashoun, saving the SS Purund.
 * USS Sarek is infiltrated by Lecarre commandos attempting to access the main computer core. They are successfully fought off. Straak: "At times like this I am reminded that geological features usually do not fire upon passer-bys."
 * Caldonian Science Directorate now allies.
 * Saavik promoted to Captain, added to EC Panel; Alexandra Kuznetsova/Anne Usha promoted to Commander.
 * Leonard McCoy, T'Faer, Trinnarv Xursh promoted to Rear Admiral.
