Star Trek Online: Can You Solve the Conundrum?

Star Trek Online fans have challenges ahead of them with a new weekly feature on the official site. Situations will be presented and forum-ites will be asked to provide solutions to these difficult scenarios. This week's is called "Kobayashi Maru Vol. 1". See what's involved below:

Today marks the first in a new weekly feature where we ask our community to use their creativity and ingenuity in answering a nearly impossible scenario. Our first one is a bit tricky. Do you have the solution?

You have been assigned to take refugees to Starbase 187 when you receive a distress signal from a medical ship ferrying critical supplies to Pacfica, which has been struck by a plague of unknown origin. When you reach the medical ship, you find that the ship is surrounded by two Gorn Cruisers and five Gorn frigates. The medical supplies must reach Pacifica, but not only are you carrying innocent civilians on your ship; you limited weapons capability.

Will you assist the medical ship that has medicine on board that may save thousands, or ensure the safety of your passengers? Choose quickly or all is lost!

How would you solve this scenario? Can you save both?

If you think you have the answer, head to the official STO forums and submit it!
