[edit] Mission Briefing
The Borg have invaded the Regula Badlands and colonized a world there. In response, Starfleet has dispatched the Enterprise to the Badlands with orders to both eliminate the Borg presence and determine how the Borg got so deep in the Alpha Quadrant without being detected.
[edit] Mission Start
Before you can achieve any of the below objectives you must first set up your base defences and resource gathering. You should have sufficient time to construct a mining facility and extra dilithium freighters before the Borg send out scouting parties.
It would be prudent to build your dilithium mining facilities to the west of the dilithium moons, so they are closer to your base's defences. After you have built the mining facilities immediately build 4 extra dilithium freighters (2 to each moon, 3 in total). Soon you will have plenty of resources to build up a strong defensive fleet and Pulse Turrets. Place a turret (or two) to the north east of your mining facilities, this will help in thwarting of any enemy incursion into your base.
The Borg will send out scouts to probe for any weakness in your defensive perimeter. You will not need to take any offensive action as your base's defences that you have set up will cope with the threat.
Placing a Venture Class Scout in orbit around Regula II will give you a early warning system against any enemy ships approaching your base. Setting the Venture Class Scout to a passive mode should mean the Borg will not identify it as a threat and pass it by.
[edit] Objectives
[edit] Build Orbital Processing Facility to provide Metal
Orbital Processing Facility
Once you have set up your dilithium mining facilities and base defences you will then need to build a Orbital Processing Facility around the Class D planet to the north of your base. You may wish to place a small fleet there to protect the construction ship whilst the station is being constructed. After it is completed you should place at least 1 Pulse Turret there and be prepared to send ships there in case of enemy attacks.
[edit] Build a Research Facility to allow construction of Akira Class and Colony ships
Before the construction of the Research Facility can proceed you will need to gather enough metal from the Orbital Processing Facility. When you have enough metal build the Research Station close to your Starbase, this will provide heavy fire power against any enemy ships that penetrate your outer defences.
Note: No technology will be able to be researched until later missions.
[edit] Colonize planet Regula II
You will not be able to construct a Colony Ship until you have enough Metal. When you have built your Colony Ship proceed north east until you come across Regula II, then send down colonists to colonise the Class L planet.
Note: A Planetary Shield is not required around the planet as the Borg in this sector do not have any ships large enough to attack your colony.
[edit] Eliminate all Borg in Regula Badlands
There are 3 regions of space that the Borg are present in.
First of all proceed east with a fleet of about 16 ships (Defiant and Akira Class). You will find 2 turrets protecting a Dilithium Refinery near a Class D Planet and further east you will find 2 turrets protecting a Borg Assembly Matrix. Resistance will be minimal and your fleet should easily defeat the Borg in this sector.
You will now need to reinforce your fleet with a much stronger force. Three fleets (Defiant and Akira Class) should be sufficient. From the south east sector proceed north, you will enter a gravitational field of a black hole that Borg presence. Now regroup your ships and slowly proceed, try and locate the Borg Starbase which is located east of the Borg Colony in-between a Borg Modification Centre and a Dilithium Refinery. Concentrate all of your force on will prevent your ships from going to warp, continue north until you detect a that starbase until it is destroyed, then continue with the destruction of the surrounding stations and ships. To the north of the Borg Colony you will find a Borg Assembly Matrix, once you have destroyed this set up a defensive perimeter around the Borg Colony and bring your battleships in to destroy the colony. The Borg will send Assembler's to rebuild their forces in this sector, make sure they do not regain a foothold.
Note: Your Galaxy and Sovereign Class battleships are your only vessels capable of planetary bombardment.
Once the enemy in the north sector has been eliminated head west. You will pass around or through a large metaphasic nebula before you reach a Class H planet. To the west of the planet you will find a Dilithium Refinery and close to that a Borg Starbase. Once again you must concentrate all of your firepower on the starbase before you deal with the remaining Borg forces.
After you have eliminated the Borg forces in the north west sector you will need to proceed south east until you find a Class J Planet. Close to that planet will be the last remnants of the Borg in this sector - a Dilithium Refinery protected by 3 Energy Cannons. After they have been destroyed set your ships to 'Search & Destroy' to find any remaining Borg ships.
[edit] The Enterprise must survive
The Borg will do their utmost to destroy the USS Enterprise, either leave the USS Enterprise at the Federation base or accompany it with a strong fleet. If the USS Enterprise is destroyed the mission will be over.
