Star Fleet Journal of Research and Studies: Volume One
Welcome to Volume One of the Star Fleet Journal of Research and Studies! The purpose of this Journal is to further the research and therefore potential of Star Fleet and the Federation. Please note that all personal notes by the studies are not necessarily reflected by the Science Institute. Abstracts will be provided to give a brief overview of the articles.

Support Escort Deployment and Tactics: A Feasibility Study
The recent build-down of ‘tactical’ vessels implemented by Star Fleet Command in favour of vessels of exploration such as the Einstein- and Yeager-classes threatens to destabilise the status quo within Federation Space. With Cruisers required to patrol the borders and Frigates and Destroyers assigned to less sensitive areas, Star Fleet lacks rear-area security vessels and short-range scout capability. The Cicero-class, along with its scientific counterpart the Lanthanum-class, designed to provide support to facilities and installations, will provide a cheap and easy-to-build alternative to modern warships; fulfilling convoy escort, rear-area security and short-range scout missions while remaining nonthreatening to the Federation’s neighbours.

Improving Training in Deception Detection Techniques to uncover Deceit in Terran and non-Terran species.
Via studies that increasingly show emotional expressions are similar across the majority of Federation member species, it is argued that deception detection techniques employed by security forces could be used in situ to more reliably uncover attempts at deceit. Furthermore, a case is made for improvement in training of security forces by providing Xenology courses and more advanced deception training to increase reliability of such methods.
