Revision as of 11:30, 15 November 2020

Based out of Devron Fleet Yards on the border to the old Romulan Neutral Zone, Task Force 93 is tasked with providing humanitarian support and protection to struggling regions of the galaxy. While this includes protection from predatory factions, Task Force 93 aids worlds devastated by natural disasters or violence, and treats with local and major powers to coordinate this assistance.

Objectives

Assist the rebuilding of cultures ravaged by natural or political disasters
Protect isolated worlds from predatory factions
Monitor the old Neutral Zone to bring safety and support to abandoned peoples
Preserve the stability of chaotic regions across the Federation border

Overview

For the last decade and a half, Task Force 93 has served as a humanitarian and peacekeeping force along the Romulan border. Following the hypernova of 2387, it was tasked with securing the former Neutral Zone, protecting Federation interests in the Beta Quadrant. Worlds have been abandoned by the Federation and Romulan Factions alike, left to fend for themselves against the ravages of regional dangers, fledgling and weak infrastructures, and natural disasters. With the Fourth Fleet's repurposing with a galactic mandate, it was deemed Task Force 93 take this skill and expertise to all troubled corners of the galaxy.

The past decade and a half have seen many powers withdrawing their support to many regions as they reinforce the borders they can protect. In their wake are worlds vulnerable to regional piracy or exploitation by other powers, worlds forced to rebuild governance and infrastructure from scratch, worlds lacking any support should the worst happen. Be they independent or answering to a higher government, Federation or otherwise, the support that now arrives fastest is from Task Force 93.

This work is more than bringing blankets. It takes engaging with communities to meet their needs, navigating fraught diplomacy with local leaders and their conflicting priorities, providing protection from opportunistic pirates that might see such a world ripe for the taking, or nearby powers that might see them ripe for seizing. Across the galaxy are worlds that have been chewed up and spat out by one government or another. To some, Task Force 93 is a welcome helping hand. To others, a necessary shield.

Task Force Assets and Headquarters

While Task Force 93 is no longer the major Starfleet force supervising the Neutral Zone, it retains its headquarters at Devron Fleet Yards on the border. With the capacity to resupply and maintain ships in the region as well as the Task Force's vessels, the Fleet Yards provides a base of operations from which relief missions can be launched to all quarters of the galaxy.

-In the events following the Romulan Supernova that eradicated [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Romulus Romulus] and [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Remus Remus], the Romulan Star Empire seperated into three major factions viying for control of known Romulan Space; the Romulan Star Empire, the Romulan Free State and the Romulan Republic.The United Federation of Planets has not sided with any major faction and does not actively get involved with internal Romulan politics.

-*The [[Romulan Free State]] is supported by the Tal Shiar and mainly operates from and abandoned Borg cube known locally as 'the Artifact'
-*The [[Romulan Republic]] is set up as a democratic nation, led by former members of the Romulan - Vulcan Reunification movement. They control thier interests with a smaller, more modern faction of the Star Navy
-==Klingon Empire==
-:''Main Articles: [[Klingon Empire]] and [[House of Mo'Kai]]''
-The Klingon Empire, in partnership with Starfleet, has defeated the insurgency known as the [[Sovereignty of Kahless]]. Though the alliance between the Federation and the Klingon Empire remains strong, there are many who recall the era when T'Kuvma united the Klingon Houses in a glorious campaign of conquest. The House of Mo'Kai, increasingly disenchanted with the rulers of the Klingon Empire, sought a return to the old ways. They took in the surviving ships of the Sovereignty and any warrior swayed by their propaganda.
-Mo’Kai intelligence operatives conducted covert attacks against the Empire and the Federation, including cyber operations, assassinations, and terrorist bombings. Its fanatical followers continue to subvert the security of the region. Raids and attacks within Klingon space and on Federation targets near the border are not uncommon, and though credit is rarely taken, there is usually sufficient evidence to attribute responsibility to House Mo’Kai.
-The Klingon Empire acknowledges that Mo’Kai is a problem, but maintains it is an internal problem that they will solve themselves. The Federation and Starfleet are applying pressure to the High Council to solve this quickly and/or accept Starfleet assistance.

Although the change in control, Starfleet still has loyalists. After years of abandonment, Starfleet has decided to return to the sector to help prevent further chaos. A new commander has been assigned to the base to help improve diplomatic relations with the Raeyans and the Marine Corps have returned.

-Following the end of the Dominion War, Task Force 93 operated within Romulan territory at the behest of the new provisional government, charged with providing aid to the Romulan people and supporting the Romulan Star Navy. This opportunity offered Starfleet an inside look at the Romulan Empire and the prospect of building a greater bridge of friendship with the Empire.
-Upon discovery of the pending of the Romulan Super Nova, the Federation offered a grand rescue plan to the Romulans to aid in their rescue and relocation from Romulus and Remus. [[Task Force 93]] was set to play a major part in the co-ordination and support of this effort, specifically starting construction of Devron Fleet Yards to support the relief fleet. Following the attack on Mars in 2385, the Federation removed its support of the evacuation effort, pulled back its forces along the Neutral Zone and focused its efforts on rebuilding.
-While the Klingon Empire faced their own problems that put heavy tension on the Federation-Klingon borders and the Khitomer Accords. The Sovereignty of Kahless rose in an attempt to take control of the Empire reign. The Federation is on heavy alert as 5 vessels have been attacked and some of its personal captured as war prizes.
