General

• Andorian Imperial Guard versus Andorian Self-Defense Forces: Timo uses "Andorian Self-Defense Forces" (ASDF) in Guide:Sevaijen article, but also mentions the (canon) Andorian Imperial Guard (AIG), without any discernment. Therefore, to reduce confusion, any mention of the ASDF will be altered to refer to the AIG (or possibly the Starfleet Branch, Andorian Guard).

• Earth Fleet: In Guide:Djartanna and Guide: Vanguard, ships are mentioned as staying with the UESF after the war, or remaining active but not registered to the UFP Starfleet. As there are indications that some ships were completely mono-species well after the war, and the Romulan War was fought by separate but jointly operating nation fleets, it stands to reason that some assets were not transferred to the new Starfleet, but retained for local defense, especially at the beginning of the alliance. Certain older warships and support vessels (as indicated in the Guide and as prudent) will be kept in or near Earth territories, or escorting Earth-specific ventures. And, once the term 'Starfleet' is applied to the UFP, the UE government declares 'Earth Fleet' as the term for the minor forces making up it's defense (until Starfleet formerly takes over all defense for Earth...whenever that is).

Annual Checklist (1988) in progress:

• construction backdate process for DY-100 class

Where I Left Off

• I'm working on several rules aspects:
  • ingest and re-write the Fleet Combat rules (from Spacedock)
  • I'd like to also set up a 'Game Portal', to replace the Phase rules currently located in the Sidebar; this will involve relocating all Rules, Background and possibly Scratchpad articles to a new namespace ("Game" or "RPG")
  • Move orbital zone tables from talk page to Surveys
  • The Tech Level rules are being transcribed from VBAM CMC and need to be adapted to SFC
• The next Guide articles are: Guide:Nelson
  • (need images for Nelson)
  • Note: Guide articles need to have the following completed:
    • Article page created
    • Sidebar completed
    • Text completed
    • Pictures identified/uploaded/cleaned up
    • data-mined for dates & events (incorporated into Year pages)
    • known ships (of all classes) put into the NCC Registry
    • Era gallery picture uploaded

• The next Class article:
  • DY-110 class

• I'm also 'building' the world of 1988: establishing the spaceports and shipyards that would have existed at that time on Earth
• Checklists development: review Purchase and Maintenance Costs
• The main Guide and era pages need to be checked against and updated to the April/May 2016 release of Timo's Guide (last era: xxx).
• Consider adapting Trekipedia's version of the Four Years War to what is incorporated from Timo's Guide.

• Work continues on transcribing the random missions from VBAM's With a Purpose campaign guide.
