I think these are the same guys who sent that probe in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. “Really? I’ve said ‘Wee Wah’ before, and nothing shut down.” “Sir, I think it was that alien transmission that shut everything down.” “I knew I shouldn’t have hired those Yridian contractors to redo my office! They’re going to hear from my lawyer!” The President slammed his fist on his desk. How may I help you?”Īll of a sudden, everything in the President’s office shut down. The secretary punched a few buttons on her PADD.

“A mysterious alien vessel, eh? Okay, patch it through.” “Sir, there’s a transmission coming in for you from a mysterious alien vessel that just appeared in Earth orbit. Just then, the President’s secretary walked in. “Well, I suppose I could fire Braxton for you.” Being a disembodied floating head, there’s not really that much I can do except float and, uh, be disembodied.”

“I’m telling you, sir, if I have to listen to another one of Braxton’s inane ramblings, I’m going to do something desperate!”

Picard was ranting his head off, which was rather remarkable, considering he only had a head. The Vulcans could all just go home and lock their doors and that would delay the Romulans far too long to be able to take over before Federation reinforcements show up.In the city of Paris, the Federation President was meeting with the disembodied head of Admiral Picard. The Federation at that point has also had decades of being able to pick up individual ships with success and cloaked ships would've kicked off sensors for lightyears around, particularly since there's no way the Federation wouldn't have reverse-engineered the Dominion tech that let them detect cloak and the Federation, in light of lots of experience with the Romulans at this point, would absolutely have some secret countermeasures/sensors for just that eventuality.Īnd three ships versus Vulcan? What the fuck? That's a non-starter zero-sense plan right there, that a founding Federation homeworld doesn't have a protective force that can handle a few ships. Especially Vulcan space, who would be even more concerned about it and have some fancy stuff not even shared with the Federation yet. Yeah, I don't even watch Discovery and I'm sitting here wondering how the fuck the Romulans cloaked anything into major Federation space without getting detected fifty times along the way. Or just have one Starfleet ship shadowing every Romulan warbird with weapons hot to shoot them if they cloak (which requires dropping shields). Or setup a mine field like they did at the Wormhole. Kind of hard to blockade a system once your opponent has cloaking tech and can ship supplies back and forth under your nose.Įxcept the Federation can setup a net like they did during the Klingon Civil War to stop the Romulans from getting through despite the cloaks. Combined with a "we withdraw from the Federation to be with our new Romulan BFFs" and try for a Fait Accompli.

The three vanguard ships where supposed to use the element of surprise to gain control of the planetary defenses and then the real army of occupation would de-cloak and beam down. You saw how quickly one de-cloaked and destroyed the vanguard ships. I was under the impression that a fleet of Cloaked Romulan Warbirds where following the transports. Starfleet: Aaaahhhh! Shut up and let me think! Romulan: No, shoot him, he is the Romulan. The plan was the ol' evil twin standoff maneuver. And the Federation is never going to accept peace terms that don't include returning control of Vulcan, so their only options are a fight to the death or giving up their gains. So they're down to a regular shooting war like they would have had without Sela's plan, except part of their forces are entrenched in the middle of Federation space, cut off from supplies or reinforcements, and I would expect encircled and besieged so unable to move, so they're actually worse off than they would have been without Sela's plan. A major one, sure, but still just one out of hundreds in the Federation. then what? They are in an open shooting war with the Federation (and the Klingons), and used up the element of surprise to take over just one planet. Even if their plan worked perfectly and they took over and fortified Vulcan. My biggest question from that episode is what the hell was Step 2 of their plan.
