Candidates for the campaign's "Big Bad"/"Man Behind the Curtain":

• Tal Shiar
  
• True Way
  
• Tzenkethi
  
• someone else
  
• no one; it's a local matter
  

Important Note: Most of the NPCs in the campaign will be "indigenous aliens". If this campaign will take place on a Romulan colony, then most of the NPCs should be Romulan civilians or militia. If this mission takes place on Elbonia, then most of the NPCs will be Elbonian civilians and militia, even if the Big Bad is the True Way.

The only suggestion I will reject outright is a Starfleet coup or other internal conspiracy. I also don't want any shape-shifters involved. With that said, this campaign could be an underhanded attempt to keep a world from seceding from the Federation, or to prevent another Tukana IV. Gray morality is okay.
