Editing Gorn (section)

=='''Aid from an Ally?'''==
Due to the wrecked state of the Gorn, the Hegemony was forced to turn to the Federation for aid in repairing and rebuilding its decimated fleet and restoring the infrastructure that was needed to provide aid to its people. Zogozin, Gorn ambassador to the Federation sought the help of Admiral Doenitz, now the leader of the Federation. Doenitz agreed to take the matter under advisement and then asked the Ambassador to leave. All further efforts to seek aid from the Federation were stone-walled by various elements and Zogozin could do nothing more than return to the Hegemony and await the inevitable call to surrender. After some time, Admiral Doenitz agreed to provide the Hegemony with a Galaxy Class vessel for the purposes of study. When the Gorn arrived at the Rendezvous point, however, all they were supplied with was a Saucer module with the weapons stripped and the computer core mostly blanked. This level of deception hurt relations between the two powers even further and bolstered the Actionists' influence among the people. Ambassador Zogozin, having been made a fool by the Federation, quietly resigned as Ambassador.

It was during this time that a member of the Federation Admiralty, an old friend of Zogozin's, secretly relayed highly disturbing information to the Gorn. Federation Marines were conducting exercises to train against Gorn Shock troops. Likewise, many scenarios were created to train for planetary incursion and occupation. Effectively, the Federation was in the early planning stages to invade the Hegemony and take it by force, though apparently in a highly quiet manner.
