The hard fought campaign to reclaim Coridan continues in the next chapter of the Earth-Romulan War. Very few victories would come in the battles that Starfleet fought to try to take back control of Coridan and its rich resources, including a vital dilithium mine that Starfleet and its allies had come to rely on. No one would lay eyes on a Romulan soldier and live to tell about it. They took no prisoners, attacking by ship, drones, and remote detonation - and it became quickly clear that they showed no mercy and what they would do to succeed seemingly had no ethical boundaries. Ballistic, even atomic weapons were often used. If the Romulans couldn’t have it, then no one could.

Crewmembers, this is a sandbox style mission; meaning, you have the freedom and are encouraged to create your own small group missions whether by land, sea, or space. Plenty will be happening on board the Unicorn as well, as all of our MACO’s and many Starfleet officers are fresh off of the battlefield from The Landings.

Coridan is a Class-M planet with a primarily cool, dry climate and much of the population centered around the equator. They are ruled by an elected Chancellor. Before the attacks, the people of Coridan were known to be well-advanced in their technology, and their planet home to large shipyards with vessels rumored to be capable of Warp 7 (that’s fast for 2156). It is a planet vastly rich in natural resources, including the dilithium mines.

Sandbox ideas: 1) Missions to reclaim a mine, shipyard, factory with important technology, etc.; 2) A rescue mission of any sort; 3) A search for a Romulan stronghold, base of operation, anything that would provide intelligence; 4) Salvage mission from a temporarily reclaimed location; 5) Recovery in Sickbay with the Doc or a recap with your Counselor; 6) Commiserating with fellow officers; 7) Flight scouting missions and/or air/space combat; 8) + etc…

*Not an exhaustive list. If you have an idea, go with it!

**Note, Romulans will not reveal their faces until TOS era. We could be facing masked marauders like the Breen. Unless you get CO approval, keep this in mind while writing.
