I await Admiral Rarchers' thoughts in anticipation! As do I. And Atolm, JJ, cowboy40, SITZKRIEG and anyone else who is interested in this, chime in. *Scratches head* thoughts on what? LOL

rarcherQuestion for the Forum members: do you want me to work next on the Unity's dealings with the Orions or the Romulans? Gorns and Tholians are too far away, so they'd only get a brief mention in the future. But it's your call. Orions or Romulans? Please let me know. And as always, thank you all in advance. The answer to the above question. Orions or Romulans?

KEPHAN UNITY TIMELINE
Stardate 0/8315
The Congress votes to eliminate Metric measurement use within Kephan space. By an overwhelming majority, the government rejected the Metric System as “another fetid spawn of the French Revolution”. In turn, the more ancient Anglo-Imperial System would replace it “until further notice” according to the Congressional Act.

Take for instance, the case of Deseret, the alternative English alphabet for the Mormons. While heavily promoted (and used emphatically by a certain percentage of the religion), it ultimately came to nothing due to a variety of factors. For instance, the cost of creating typefaces, the time to learn the alphabet, the time to teach the alphabet... And it was all ultimately done in by the railroad and the need for communicating with those outside of the Mormon faith. However, perhaps the Kephan Unity is forward thinking. After all the Metric System is based upon standards of a primarily Earth-based geography. Celcius concerns the boiling and freezing of water (on Earth at sea level) and the meter retconned from a geographical standard to one concerning the distance that light travels. Perhaps the Kephan Unity, being a new civilization, does away with such conventions and forges ahead with new definitions in a bid to attract those who do not feel burdened by what they seem to be as antiquated standards. Something for the Congress to consider in their deliberations.

Howdy. Apologies for the late response. Alas, one of the hallmarks of OCPD is procrastination. Sometimes it goes to extremes and I hate it with a passion.
So please permit me to briefly explain why the Congress voted for this.
You hit the bulls-eye in the center here regarding the Metric conventions. As the Unity's populations grows, it also includes Tellarites, Andorians, Orions and even Klingon and Romulan refugees. Having to subscribe to Terran standards like the Metric System and Celsius temperatures would seem like imposing Federation standards on an anti-Federation star nation. The older Anglo-Imperial System was seen as a temporary stopgap until something better was found.
Also the Unity sees or perceives Metrics and Celsius as stemming from the tyranny of the French Revolution and the philosophies behind it. During the Revolution, the first genocide of the Modern Era (AD 1750 - onward) occurred, especially in the northwest of France called the Vendee. At least 200,000 people -- mostly civilians -- were killed in horrible ways by the armies of the Revolution. They didn't want to renounce their Catholic Faith and loyalty to the King of France. So they were targets for destruction.
That's one of the major reasons why the Star Navy named their dreadnought the Vendee. The Charette heavy cruisers were named after one of the French Counter-Revolution's famous generals.
The late Welsh author Michael Davies (1936-2004) wrote a small book covering this time in European history called "For Altar and Throne: The Rising in the Vendee". He gave a talk years ago on this epoch, it's heroes and villains, battles won and lost and the sad defeat of the Vendeans. The link to Mr. Davies' talk is below.
I hope this will help in explaining why the Congress did what it did, as well as flesh out it's history and philosophy against the Federation. Also thank you very much for your patience with my slow reply to you.
BTW, I'm still working on the Unity's relations with the Romulans. As I suspected, it is a very huge effort to get it done. But it will get done, please God.

The following is not a complete article on Kephan-Romulan relations. But I've been stalled on this for the longest time, so here it is, warts and all. There is always room for improvement on this, so thank you all in advance for your points and suggestions.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
THE ROMULAN EYE ON KEPHA
Few things bound the Klingon and Romulan Empires together other than fighting Federation influence. One was their view of the Kephan Unity. They both thought them stark raving mad.
In the Romulan tongue, they were derided as Narvasam Nohthi or “Nest Of the Crazies”.
Beyond this, the Star Empire saw them as no threat to their Road to the Stars. They were too far away to stand in their way. But dealings with them left the Praetor and Senate scratching their heads in either wonder or confusion.
One major cause was the Federation’s relations with the Unity, which the Empire’s Diplomatic Corps saw as “hypocritical”. They acknowledged the Vulcans as their distant kin. They see the Kephans as “kin” to the Earthlings, but were shocked learning the Federation denied it in public. They guessed they treated the Unity as equal to a “cast-out” from Romulan society. Hence in the Romulan tongue, they are also referenced to as K’manatri Hevai or “Human Outcasts”.
Another area dealt with infants with birth defects. In Romulan culture, child euthanasia was encouraged so as to genetically improve the race. Kephans, like their Earthling cousins used to be, treasured the lives of all children as sacred. The Empire saw this as “child worship”. Kephans saw this as continuing what early Christians did during the era of Imperial Rome. The Romulans thought them trash. The Kephans thought them treasure. They offered to adopt and raise unwanted or imperfect Romulan children on their own expense, appealing to their cultural claim to “save resources”.
So twice a year, a cloaked freighter passed through the “Kephan Corridor”, a narrow passage through the Federation-Romulan Neutral Zone to Cheron, now called New Gideon. It carried infants and one year-olds declared “imperfect” by their standards. From there, they sped through Federation and Orion space to the Unity and their future adoptive parents.
On that same freighter were containers of Romulan ale. The liquor was illegal within Federation and Klingon space but legal within the Unity. In turn, it sped back full of fruit cordials and other foodstuffs as well as literature and documentaries. Much in demand were works on Earth’s Bauhaus and Brutalist schools of architecture and negative criticism of them. Books and tapes on regenerative agriculture also won their approval, as well as works on ancient Roman engineering and construction. The Diplomatic Corps sent a formal “note of appreciation” to Kepha for them, easing potential tensions between the two Powers.

Your latest article on the Romulan-Kephan relationship is exciting. I've been putting off more articles on my own alt-universe for long enough.
A note on your declaration to abolish the metric system to form a new system - I couldn't help but note that, when watching a special on the "Golden Disc" that we sent out with Voyager 1, there were two measurements on there that were deemed universal:
** The transition of a hydrogen atom from one state to another ** The wavelength that the transition produces
Perhaps you can use these measurements in your new system.

Unity Economics And Trade
A friend on another forum asked me this regarding the Kephans' economic policy. Here's his question.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
What is the economy of the Unity, in what is their economy based on? Not so much the system -- Distributism -- but more what is their primary trade good?
Are they primarily a manufacturing based system, making things they sell, a trade based system that works as a go between for the different groups? (Think Venice. They were a tiny nation that exerted great control based on moving goods for the larger powers, especially when the powers were at war.) Or are they more of a financial system, such as say Sweden where they bankroll planets and entire systems? Mostly curious about their focus here due to how it might effect their navy, their interests etc.
If a manufacturing, then home production would be easier and may have an edge there if they sell things more related to space (say, metal production, computers etc). If a trade one, then it will necessitate a large fleet to move the trade goods of others, to move people (like the Genoese, Venetians did), as well as then a navy to defend it all. If a financial based economy, then they will be able to fund their own navy with more ease, may run into the trouble of home production as they will have fewer artisans and manufacturing centers, but could buy easily as your story goes, the scraps and leftovers of other nations and thus buy a navy.
Definitely will be a situation of a variety of all three if not also others (agrarian and such) based on the planet, but curious what is their specialty as a whole, what they focus on as a system or what makes their focus unique compared to any other system when it comes to economic. Kind of like, America is primarily an manufacturing nation. Largest trade good is agriculture, but adding everything up, we primarily make things and then trade it. Thus our ability to pump out anything, be it cars, planes, vessels etc, is extremely good. We do have trading companies that move trade goods of other nations, and we also have a good financial sector (banking and such), however, those pale in comparison to our ability to make stuff.
Thus, curious what the primary economic focus if you will of the Unity is.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
My answer is here.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Ever since the discovery of the Triple Capitol, it has been an increasing characteristic of Unity citizens to put things in threes. So like how the Triple Capitol is balanced, the government would aim to balance their economy between the three types you mentioned -- agriculture, manufacturing and trading. On average, it would be around 30% for each of the three and 10% for everything else. It's not iron-clad but flexible depending on the individual planet's situation.
Or to put it another way, it is to aim to put as many eggs in as many baskets as possible, rather than all the eggs in one basket or crush all the eggs together to make one omelet.

KUSN Naval Tradition
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
When a KUSN starship reaches the end of it's lifespan or returns victorious from a major battle, the crew sings an old Earth sea shanty "Leave Her Johnny" when it approaches the stardock. They salute their "bucket of ol' bolts" that plowed the "sea of stars" through moments both boring and terrifying.
It was said that Fleet Admiral Ektat Rarcher, the victor of the Raid of UC-119, led the crew personally in it when returning to the Triple Capitol with the infamous Charger's Price and Pearl-class mobile repair facility in tow.
With that in mind, here are the mass internet choir The Longest Johns singing this rousing tune. Please enjoy!

WORLDS OF THE KEPHAN UNITY
World Log: RHAE MOLLAIS III
System Name: Michael's Star
Number of Class M Present: 2
Planetary Data Position in System: III Number of Satellites: none Gravity: .9G Size Diameter: 11,700 km Equatorial Circumference: 36,000km Total Surface Area: 459,000,000 sq. km Percent Land Mass: 49% Total Land Area: 224,910,000 sq. km Surface Conditions Length of Day: 23 hours Atmospheric Density: Terrestrial General Climate: Tropical Mineral Content Normal Metals: 58% Radioactives: none Gemstones: 38% Industrial Crystals: none Special Minerals: none
NOTEWORTHY FACTS: The planet (pronounced ray moh-LAYS) is part of a pair of Class M worlds on the far northern border of the Unity. Gideonite explorers for the Unity discovered a treasure trove of gems on the main continent, especially of emeralds and lapis lazuli. The thin ring around it's equator was composed of obsidian, unheard of among astro-geologists. Small mining concerns have been established along with agricultural colonies on the two smaller continents.

System Name: Michael's Star
Number of Class M Present: 2
Planetary Data Position in System: IV Number of Satellites: one Gravity: 1G Size Diameter: 13,000 km Equatorial Circumference: 40,000km Total Surface Area: 510,000,000 sq. km Percent Land Mass: 45% Total Land Area: 229,500,000 sq. km Surface Conditions Length of Day: 24 hours Atmospheric Density: Terrestrial General Climate: Warm Temperature Mineral Content Normal Metals: 88% Radioactives: 33% Gemstones: none Industrial Crystals: none Special Minerals: 59%
NOTEWORTHY FACTS: The planet is the more Earth-like of a pair of Class M worlds on the far northern border of the Unity. The world was chosen for the Romulan Outcast Convoy to establish a colony far from Federation influence or Klingon attack. Gideonite colonists before the Convoy's arrival were building terraced farms on hills within the planet's four small continents. The uninhabited northern continent contained massive deposits of pergium, topaline, uranium and plutonium.
The settlement was named Aennh Oelh (pronounced AY-enn OH-el), translated from Romulan as “sigh of relief”. The pair of worlds were named Rhae Mollais or “new start”, reflecting the Outcasts' gratitude for the chance to stay alive and start new lives. The ships that carried them became part of the KUSN Reserves. A orbital shipyard is planned in the near future.

NOTEWORTHY FACTS: Similar to the arraignment on Sherman's Planet within the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone, the Organians allowed both Major Powers to colonize the planet -- though with one major exception. They demanded the Kephans also have a stake in the colony's future due to it's proximity near the Unity's border. Settlers from all three Powers arrived on the world named in tribute to the German classical music composer Georg Philipp Telemann. As with Sherman's Planet, the colonists will vote to decide whether or not to join the Federation, Empire or Unity or become independent of all three. Their major income producer is tourism, especially for the colony's yearly musical Telemann Festival. Several Orion corporations are vying for bids to build exclusive spaceport facilities. So far, the colonists have refused, playing each company against each other in favor of those from their respective Powers.

brickwall a question that came up in my recent part 2 adventure with the Unity's exploration campaign. During the downtime one of my players wondered what the Unity's stance and relations were like with the Tholians and/or Gorn? After some thought on the matter I said I would toss this question over to you for answers! So could you enlighten us on this please?

After some thought on the matter, I said I would toss this question over to you for answers! So could you enlighten us on this please? No problem. The Gorns and Tholians see the Kephans as too far away for them to take any serious notice. So they are only minimally curious about them.
The Tholians know more about them thanks to their embassy in the First Federation -- the "other federation in the Milky Way", as they are more commonly known. (For reference, look to the TOS episode The Corbomite Maneuver for their appearance.) The Unity and the First Federation are on good terms. However due to distance, there are only minimal trade relations between them. Usually there is a yearly cargo run between Kepha and the First Federation's capitol.
The Gorns only know about them via their sporadic contact with the Tholians and their more frequent base-touching with the Federation. They're somewhat confused by the Kephan's tendency to almost put everything in threes. Otherwise, they are just another set of Humans to them.

Interesting information about the Unitys' relationships with the Tholians and the Gorn. One thing though. As I'm away from my FASA stuff, where does it place the First Federation in relation to those two? I don't see the First Federation on that detailed map I posted elsewhere, with all the FASA worlds from all supplements combined onto one map. On Star Trek Maps (1980), which I used for my FASA games, the First Federation border buoys cut into Federation space between the Gorn border and the Romulan Neutral Zone. But that is where walrusguy put his "Outback" supplement for FASA, detailing worlds outside Federation space between the Gorn and the Romulans. I know, brickwall, you may have it elsewhere, but can anyone tell me where the First Federation is meant to be per FASA?

It is closer to the Tholian's "western border", but there is still a gap between them. Further, that gap is somewhat thicker than the "Outback".

brickwall another question came up last night as my group wrapped up part 2 of the Unity's Exploration campaign i ran (more to come on that front soon in a post!) but at the end we were talking about ideas for 'whats next' and once more one of my buddies looking through source materials inquired about the IKS and so this again prompted them to have me ask you what the Kephan's relationship with the IKS would be? Given they sorta work with the Klingons already we were heatedly debating whether they would do so similarly, or as I theorized would the IKS not want to sully themselves working with federation outcasts given that the home empire does to a degree. Please advise?

But at the end, we were talking about ideas for 'whats next'. And once more, one of my buddies looking through source materials inquired about the IKS. So this again prompted them to have me ask you what the Kephan's relationship with the IKS would be? Given they sorta work with the Klingons already, we were heatedly debating whether they would do so similarly. Or - as I theorized - would the IKS not want to sully themselves working with 'Federation outcasts' given that the home empire does to a degree. Please advise? Hello again! I went to The Klingons: Game Operation Manual, page 38, where it tells about the IKS. From what I've read in the Manual on them, I think the IKS leadership are of two minds about the Unity.
On one hand, they perceive the Kephans as something like themselves. The IKS portray themselves as "flexible and more democratic" than the Empire in their propaganda campaigns. They sense the Kephans doing similar things to the Galactic public opinion. A similar "little guy fights the big guy" scenario as their own. Hence some sympathy for their cause.
On the other hand, they share the overall view with their Imperial rivals that these Kephans are truly "The Insane Ones". From the behind-the-scenes creation of the IEC to the shaping of the warrior's vacation world QahQun to the current "impromptu trade conference" on Botchok, all this left them stunned and amazed. Even a little scared, though they'd never admit it in public to avoid "losing face". So they have an informal hands-off policy towards the Unity.
So you hit the bulls-eye in the center, Rarcher. Hope this helps and many thanks in advance.

brickwall yet another question! I know you had mentioned I thought somewhere that the Unity received several romulan cast off ships/scrap ships/old ships in a convoy with several outcasts of the romulan people. However, I can't seem to find where those ships were placed in the unity's fleet make up? Also for any gutted ships from all sources what remaining parts are usable for ship building for frankenstein ships? Any list you could provide me for this purpose and the others above? Thanks!

Also for any gutted ships from all sources, what remaining parts are usable for ship building for Frankenstein ships? Any list you could provide me for this purpose and the others above? Thanks! Rarcher, the castoffs came from the thread The Salvaging Of The Charger's Price. The freighters would go to Commerce Command. The rest would be classified under Junk Navy status and put in the Reserves on the Romulan Outcasts' new home on Rhae Mollais IV. Any newly received old Romulan ships would go there.
The list for the ships are:
One V-1 Starglider CA One V-2 Hunter CA One V-4 Wing of Vengeance CA One V-43 Skylord CA One T-2 Death Talon DD One S-4 Swift Wing SC One R-2 Bright Star ES Three I-4 Graffler freighters
The V-2 is Type Two, all else are Type Ones.
And all ships parts are reusable as far as Tri-Planetary Command (TPC) is concerned. Compared to their two main rivals, they can't afford to waste anything they get. For a recent example, when building the battleship Jacques Cathelineau, both the warp and impulse engines of the M-39 half of the ship were to be saved for future use. They'd be repaired and gussied-up, ready to be used again.
Hope this helps out! I'm preparing the next entry in the An Armada On The Cheap section soon. Many thanks for being there!

Thanks for that clarification my buddy Brandon wanted to take a shot at a frankenstein ship for the Unity with some of those parts. So just to clarify brickwall you're saying that if a ship traded/obtained has say an R-4m computer core then the unity can reproduce it without too much trouble?

So just to clarify, brickwall , you're saying that if a ship traded/obtained has say an R-4m computer core then the Unity can reproduce it without too much trouble? If it is Federation, Klingon or Orion manufacture, it would be easier since the ships they rescued or bought came from them.
If they are Romulan or even Gorn, they'd have a harder time since they lack familiarity with their ships.
And forget about Tholian or First Federation stuff. They'd be WAAAY out of their league in that area.
