Template:Kemocite Deception

Monqarg Program
When the Xindi-Primate Councilmen Barga Degra began design the Xindi super-weapon, codenamed the Monqarg Program, intending to use it to destroy whole worlds and knock the neighbouring superpowers into submission and out of a war, Xindi-Reptilian Councilmen Guruk Dolim however thought the projected 5-year completion plan was too long. He instead opted to begin construction on nearly two dozen smaller crafts, prototypes originally designed by Degra in his first testing phase of Monqarg to inflict damage on scales much smaller but still more devastating. This program would be codenamed Ketin. The Council voted in January 2153 to allowed both Monqarg and Ketin to proceed, on the basis of whichever was completed first stage testing and showed the greatest chance of ultimate success, would be approved for final production.

Disappearance of the Ort'ne Sect
Unknown to the Xindi, operatives of the Jo’avwI Order discovered the development of the twin Xindi Planet-Killer project. Quickly deducing that several components used in the construction were of Collector design, the Jo’avwl believed the Xindi were victims of Collector manipulation and sought to destroy the project. At first, two operatives of the Boin Sect were deployed to assassinate the leaders of the two projects (Degra and Dolim), a third was meant to destroy all data so no attempt could be made to replicate the technologies. Yet within one week after arriving on New Xindus all operatives went silent and were presumed dead. A second attempt with an entire team of operatives disappeared after only four days.

In concern the Jo’avwl deployed an operative of the Ort'ne Sect, however contact was lost after only two days. Fearing something was amiss Lady Sarin of Cial Convoy sent the entire Ort’ne Sect with the intent to completely topple the Xindi government by any means. All operatives went dark within hours of arriving. In total thirteen of the top agents of the Jo’avwl had been lost but what was most troubling was that the Xindi government made no notice of the loses.

Kemocite Deception
If a covert effort to remove the program was unachievable, Sarin instead decided an overt method must be used to remove the Xindi. If the Xindi were provoked into using the technology of the Planet-Killer too soon and incited enough fear on a galactic scale, the surrounding races could perform a ‘pile on’ effect and topple the Xindi. It was Sarin's ultimate hope that Klingon Empire, being the strongest of the local powers, would take the reigns of that unification and eventually assume its ancestral role as the core of the Jo'avwI Order.

Sarin took note that the Xindi’s supply of kemocite, critical to both the Ketin and Monqarg Programs, was all supplied via the Xindi-Arboreal colony of Azati Minor Vb or Yergdec. Kemocite was a multiphasic isotope of a radiolytic compound and in both programs, used to build phase focusing fields for the reverse-wave motion device, the primary firing mechanism of the weapon. Sarin arranged for a bomb to be planted along one of the lesser fault lines on Yergdec. When it detonated, the result was an earthquake that knocked out the power systems to the main refineries. This damage reduced production levels to 70%, meaning the colony could not meet the demands needed to supply the weapon on its predetermined time table. As the colony was on charter by the Xindi Council, such an occurrence spelled its doom via financial collapse.

When desperation set in that their charter could be revoked, the Jo’avwl arranged for the Orion Botchok Planetary Congress to sell Yergdec's foreman, Gralik Durr kemocite through Tarlac intermediaries, and not wanting appear weak, Durr would hide the news of their off-world trading.

Now controlling the kemocite production, Jo’avwl enacted the next phase of her plan. They were aware that while the Monqarg Program would take the longest to complete, it would deal the greatest levels of damage in a shorter period of time, whereas Dolim's Ketin Program would be completed the fastest but had the greatest likelihood to leave the victims or survivors still strong enough to fight back. Sarin also believed that whoever's program was a success would be vaulted into a position of power and control in the Xindi government, Degra was considered too logical and emotionally stable to be manipulated for later gains, whereas Dolim's ego and rampant xenophobia was considered easiest to meld for future Jo'avwI needs. The Jo'avwI Grandmaster stubbly encouraged the Tarlac, through the Orions, to pressure Gralik Durr to schedule shipments for Dolim to get priority, thereby moving Dolim's program ahead of Degra's by several weeks.

Unscheduled Launch
Within six-months Dolim's teams were successful in completing 27 prototypes, while Degra's was still four-years off from a tangible model. However the Council surprised Dolim and unknowingly the Jo'avwI when they noted that due to the faulty nature of the Ketin Program were faulty, most likely only good for two or three uses before it overloaded its power production plant and destroyed itself. Because Dolim could not and would not correct the issue, the Council voted to continue Monqarg program and mothball the Ketin Program as a fall back option.

Sarin could not allow this and had her operatives to begin influencing Dolim to make a demonstration of his programs success. It was Sarin's intent that Dolim would most likely use one of the worlds the Xindi had already conquered, such as Malcor III or Illyria Prime, as an example.

However only due to Monarch's minimal indoctrination and the xenophobic and paranoid hallmarked by the Xindi-Reptilians, General Dolim launched the entire fleet of Ketin prototypes, using them to launch a surprise attack on the homeworlds of 25 different empires.
