Editing Gorn (section)

=='''Current Status'''==
Slowly, the Gorn are rebuilding their infrastructure and getting their shipyards back into place, but the progress is slow due to constant pirate activity and incursions from less than friendly powers intent on gaining a foothold. Famine is still rampant, as are diseases that are untreatable due to lack of medical transportation. The Gorn know that invasion is inevitable, but they do not know when and it has left the Hegemony on edge.

At the suggestion of the Klingon Chancellor during the transfer of vessels from the Empire to the Hegemony, Ambassador Zogozin has been attempting to open negotiations with Admiral LoDona of the 52nd fleet. The Klingons praise LaDona as an honorable warrior and competent leader, the sort that the Gorn could potentially ally with in the event that invasion plans move forward. To that end, Dr. Serixs Ssarumon, having left the Gorn Navy after the battle of Sobek, was reactivated from the reserves and enrolled into Starfleet Academy to a Science Major and ensured assignment with the 52nd. It is the Gorn's hope that having one of their own serving on board a Federation vessel would help convince the Admiral to hear them.

Threat from the Federation is not the only worry the Gorn have at this time. The loss of shipping routes and the inability for the government to properly maintain order has led to many factions within the Gorn Hegemony to splinter. The actionists, lead by the very same Gorn that planned the attack on Cestus III, has once again begun overtures for open warfare and combat with the Federation, Romulans, and Klingons. The monarchy, believing cooler heads will prevail, know that in the Hegemony's current state, it would not survive such an action. However, the negotiations between the factions are starting to crumble and civil war is becoming more and more likely. The Gathering and those Gorn loyal to the restoration of the Gorn Hegemony are unsure how long they can keep the actionists from open combat with the other major powers.
