Man I really hate this new log-in.
Anyway the mercenaries in "the Gambit" were a group of people who ran around stealing stuff. I'm not sure if that is what you want. The Orion Syndicate would be better, but they do not have ships of their own.

***Secret Transmission***
To: United Federation of Planets
From: Romulan Star Empire
Regarding: Previous Proposal
Text: The Romulan Star Empire shall not discuss the scrapping of the Treaty of Algeron, which the Federation signed in good faith. Your Starfleet already possesses one vessel with the ability to cloak. One is more than enough.
***End Secret Transmission***
OOC:
Floyd, just so you know, Akiras, Sovereigns, Steamrunners, Sabres, Norways, and Defiants are not in production at this time. Except for the first Defiant, none of them exist outside the design stage, and there is only one Defiant in Federation service around this time. (I am assuming that this is is about the time that the Dominion ships destroyed the Odyssey. If you place it any earlier, the Defiant won't even be in service.)

I'm going to post my military lists. Tell me if anything is out of wack.
Armed Forces of the Maquis Rebellion
First Fleet
1 Nebula-class starship
15 Maquis Raiders
3 Danube-class shuttlecraft (Runabouts)
Second Fleet
1 Cardassian Freighter (modified with extra photon torpedo launcher)
10 Maquis Raiders
4 Bajoran Impusle Ships
Third Fleet
2 Bajoran Assult Vessel
15 Maquis Raiders
Ground Forces
10 units of Colonial Militia
Intelligence
10 to 15 personnel at Starfleet *secret*
By the way, the Marquis Raiders are the small Maquis fighters.
Declaration of Independance
The colonists in the Demilitarized Zone have seceded from the Federation due to lack of interest in protecting their rights from the Cardassians. On public channels they declared that active resistance to any Cardassian attack is now the prime perogative of the rebels, known as Maquis. Many in Starfleet feel swayed by the Maquis cause and defect.
Industrialization in the Demilitarized Zone
Maquis leaders are stepping up production of Raw Materials for ships on their colony worlds. Maquis leaders feel that this will allow the Maquis to defend themselves.
Maquis Raid Cardassian Outpost
Citing an poisioning incident believed to be the work of Cardassian agents, Maquis raiders have made a daring attack on a unmanned Cardassian outpost. There is still no news of the outcome. (How do you handle military conflicts?)
Maquis draws blueprints for new Attack Vessel
Maquis High Command has recieved a blueprint for a new Attack Ship. Dubbed to Intruder class, these warships will have a size of about half that of a Nebula class starship and are armed with 4 phaser banks and 2 photon torpedo launchers. They are expected to enter service within 2 years.
**To the Klingon Empire**
We of the Maquis offer an alliance against your hated enemies the Cardassians. We will offer your warships docking at our Starbases and in turn, expect military support. Please respond...
**To the Federation**
We extend ther hand of friendship to our breathren. We have no quarrel with you, our quarrel is with the Caradassians. Please accept our graceous offer.
**To the Bajoran people** (is this possible?)
We offer an alliance to counter that actions of our mutual enemy, the Cardassians.

Grr...after I so carefully balanced my fleet, Scott comes along and interferes. Oh well, edited. I still think I should have Akiras at this stage, but I'll concede the point, I at least control the wormhole and good luck getting me to share... 
BTW, Scott, 36 D'Dederidex class ships would be like me building 36 Galaxy class ships. Not complaining, just pointing out...

PROJECT DEFIANT RESTARTED
After being shut down a few years ago, Project Defiant, the Starfleet project to create a powerful Borg-fighting warship, has been restarted with the goal of beginning mass production of Defiant-class warships within 1 to 1.5 years.
NEW CRUISER CLASS PROPOSED
A team of specialists commissioned to design a new multi-purpose heavy duty cruiser to replace the aging Excelsior today came up with their proposal:
Name: Valiant Class
Size: A little larger than Excelsiors
Armament: 6 phaser banks, 2 streaming phaser banks, 3 torpedo tubes (2 conventional, 1 quantum torpedos)
Shielding: Double-shielding - when one shield is damaged, a second shield replaces it while the first shield is repaired. Powered by several large fusion reactors.
Laboratories: 4 Full-scale labs for scientific research of all kinds
R&D Time: 2 years
***MESSAGE TO ROMULAN STAR EMPIRE (RSE)***
Would the Romulans consider a trade? If you allow the Federation to withdraw from the Treaty of Algeron, we will allow the RSE access to the Gamma Quadrant through a stable wormhole discovered somewhere in our space, along with a safe passage corridor through Federation space.

OOC:
The Romulans only have three known warship classes in this period. Warbirds, scouts, and science ships. I only added strike cruisers (warbirds specialized for planetary bombardment) and destroyers (fast, well armed, good at raiding). With the Romulans being so militant, it makes sense to possess a large fleet. Admittedly, a warbird is superior to a Galaxy class ship, but I have little else to go on.

STARFLEET HQ, SAN FRANCISCO, EARTH
The new group known as the Maquis have created quite a fuss within Starfleet. After a good amount of debate, it has been decided that Starfleet will, from time to time, covertly equip the Maquis with equipment. However, this will only be carried out through third parties, giving Starfleet and the Federation plausible deniability.

On the far side of the wormhole a powerful empire was in existence. Known as the Dominion it was the scourge of the galaxy. The elusive shapeshifters known as the Founders ruled the Dominion with an iron fist. With their legions of Jem'Hadar warriors and Vorta lackeys the Founders ruled most of the Gamma Quadrant. Revered and feared the Founders held "solids" in the lowest of opinion. Now that the Gamma Quadrant had been discovered and the solids from the Alpha Quadrant were moving in, it was time to take action.

4 Nebula Class (Federation)
1 D'Deridex Class (Romulan)
5 D'Dredar Class (Romulan)
10 Fighter Warship Type (Dominion, captured-original crew not piloting the vessel due to great loyalty of Jem'Hadar)
3 Galor Class (Cardassian)
5 K'vort Class (Klingon)
1 Vor'cha Class (Klingon)
Is this fleet too big? I'll write a story to back up how these vessels came together if I get approval of this fleet.

I forgot to say but all Klingon ships can cloak.( not in game, but in movies and stuff) I thought i had said that, but i guess i didnt.
22 Vor'Cha Class Warships
48 K'Vort Class Cruisers
141 MAY'DUJ Class Battle Cruisers( note: the May'Duj fleet though numerous covers a wide age range. Some are brand spanking new with all the perks of modern kligon war science. Some are old scows that are there just to lob as much firepower as possible, and to distract from the better ships)
FIRST CONQUEST FLEET:
6 Vor'Cha Class Warships
12 K'Vort Class Cruisers
36 May'Duj Class Battle Cruisers
SECOND CONQUEST FLEET:
6 Vor'Cha Class Warships
12 K'Vort Class Cruisers
35 May'Duj Class Battle Cruisers
THRID CONQUEST FLEET:
5 Vor'Cha Class Warships
12 K'Vort Class Cruisers
35 May'Duj Class Battle Cruisers
FOURTH CONQUEST FLEET:
5 Vor'Cha Class Warships
12 K'Vort Class Cruisers
35 May'Duj Class Battle Cruisers
Each fleet is divided into 4 task forces
the Klingon Fleet also has a large Marine divison and troop transport section capable of massive conquest.
All these ships are availble because around 65% of the Klingon Budget is devoted to the military. Social sevices are reduced, but then again the Klingons dont want social services.

Head of Cousel Haw'Tu sat in deep thought. With new potential targets of conquest everywhere the fleet seemed to small to fit the task. He needed more ships and stronger ships as well. Some of the May'Duj's were older than he was and would give in under heavy attack. They must be either upgraded or replaced. Also more Vor'Cha and K'Vorts were needed. The Romulan Star Empire was growing and if the lesson at Kitomir taught the Empire anything was that those dishonorable cowards were more that willing to use espionage and sabotuers(sp) to accomplish their goals. The Empire security was not large enough to protect entirely against such dishonorable acts. It all came down to resources. The Empire needed to grow, but if it got caught in a war it may be defeated. Oh it would be a glorious defeat and would shatter the enemy as well, but it would be a defeat none the less. The only answer would be a small target. With plenty of resources, yet a small, or out of date military. Couseler Haw'Tu stalked over to a terminal and pulled up a gallatic map. Cross refrencing both military size and wealth three systems bordering the empire came up. One was Nex'Cha a neutral with one class M planet and several polar, but with no population it would take to long to exploit. Another was Frei a rich Ferangi colony with only 4 orbital batterys, a weak planetary shild and a warcruiser owned by a native who used it to escort his freight. The final was Yento, the people were primital and in there first industrial revolution. However much of the resources were buryed far below the planets surface and would take to long to mine. He made a choice. He called the cousel together and stated that the Empire needed to expand, and the best way to do that woudl be to attack Frei. The cousuel voted its approval and Conquest Fleet three and a large marine division were sent to seize the prize.

The Voth were a saurian species of the Delta Quadrant. Proud and surrounded by historical lore. Their ancient code of Doctrine guided them. Led by the Ministry of Elders the Voth held a speical place of hatred in their hearts for mammalian speices. After one of their scientists by the name of Gegen attempted to question Doctrine by suggesting that they were from Earth, Voth society underwent little change. Chief Elder Odala was too blind to accept the truth and those who followed her. However one Minister by the name of Pral had stumbeled across Gegen's work. Now the winds of change were sweeping across Voth society and it was only a matter of time until things erupted into chaos.

A Voth scout ship has stumbeled across the borders into the Alpha Quadrant. It's transwarp drive malfunctioned and stranded them. With only impulse power the Voth ship stumbeled into contact with a Maquis vessel in the badlands. After disabling the ship and killing the mammalian crew the Voth came across the Federation comm band. Communication between the Voth and United Federation of Planets has now been opened.
To Federation: We have reason to believe that you are a mammalian race. This sickens us, however since we are lightyears from our home and families we are open to negotiation with your species.

...It had been years since the last war...Peace apparently reigned in the Alpha Quadrant. But there were some in the quadrant who did not want peace. They were natural warriors of the Old Order...and order as old as the galaxy itself...shrouded in secrecy it is the Order of War. Many times have they revolted against the governments of the galaxy, but all have failed. Now they join together, to unite, for the first time in history, the Order of War has been united in the galaxy. They come from all species. The Old Order was a race long before form was united in the galaxy, before the definite could be established. They were all, they were none. They lived in many places in the Alpha Quadrant, but when order came to the galaxy, their homeworlds split and formed many different worlds. Life sprouted on these worlds, and some of the life was directly decended by those from the Old Order. These people formed their clans, their own clans, and was left alone for a time. But then soon other peoples became more powerful and the Old Order was scattered in their worlds. That was then...now the Order has found each other again...a special link between them all...not known to any...but there...
They have found each other. They all come from different walks of life, different species, but they all have a bond, a calling, and they have found each other and made their own clans.
From the Klingdon Empire, the G'nar Family, a long-line of honorable warriors, petitioned the Council for their own fleet and an autonomous mission...severing ties from the Empire indefinitely. The Council, long trusting of the G'nar, agreed, and has given them a fleet of warships and wished them well. High General Va'chak commands the fleet of 8 vessels as well as 7 cloaking devices.
From the Federation, the Thompson family...warriors of the European continent. Fighting for the British empire while others fought for American and Canada and other European nation-states. That was a long time ago. Now, they have an admiral in Starfleet. Admiral Jonathan Thompson, a distinguished man. He rounded up all his clan and asked Starfleet for command of a Nebula-class starship fleet. His family could crew two vessels. The third was from a Vulcan clan, the V'cha. Admiral Thompson commands the fleet.
From the Romulan Empire...two families from ages ago...They have now formed into their own lobby in the empire. The Y'chu and the Gh'nu clans have been granted access to a fleet of 7 vessels for their own autonomous patrols. The patriarch of the Y'chu, one Galius Romai, commands the fleet.
From the Cardassians, the Order of Boran, an old family in the empire. A family with little power, but great skill, manipulative skill. They manipulated the shipyards on Cardassia for 3 new vessels. The patriarch of the Boran, Gildron, leads this fleet.
The commanders were all driven to do this by some force, some unknown, and instinctively moved all their forces into one location, the same location, in the Neutral Zone. There, Va'chak gave his new allies, the Federation and Cardassian ships, cloaking devices...somehow he knew how many to get and why...but he had another one...not knowing why...they would keep it in storage.
That was 5 years ago...since then, the fleet has been moving around, their instincts weakening...working as a mercenary until the Old Order sends them new instructions. They go under cloak around the galaxy...never knowing...They are...The Order
