After getting the input from everyone, the final plan based on the overwhelming majority of others supporting the idea, is talking it out!
Given that the negotiations team realizes their role is to attempt to speak with the Caducans in an attempt to end the conflict peacefully, the proposed plan is to meet face to face and talk things out with them in a diplomatic meeting. Despite the fact that peace seems unlikely and fighting is unavoidable, a team of volunteer diplomats will be escorted over to the Caducan ship. Since the ship will be scanned prior to boarding, the group will have the technology available to them thanks to Tony Stark to know the layout of the ship (as a just in case measure). The group will travel over with a treaty that has been written by Alexander Hamilton, hoping to convince the others to seek peace by appealing to their sense of logic in the fact that what happened was an accident and the crew of the Moira helped with evacuations then and are more than willing to help now. Reparations will be offered, as well as assistance in helping the Caducans move on and start anew. Niko will be with this group and will also attempt to share stories about the people on the Moira, and reason with them. Someone can also bring up the memorial located in the Moira'sgardens and read the words on the plaque. The glass may reflect images of the past and future. This will be in an attempt to help influence everyone to look to the future and sign the peace treaty, and to show that the Moirans do not take the loss of so much life without regret and remembrance. If the goal of peace cannot be obtained, the diplomats will firmly state that the Moira is equally armed and filled with people who are willing and ready to fight and will attempt to deter any fighting that way.
Since Tony will also have let others know the weapons analysis of the other ship turns out with a result that matches the Moira and that the Caducans are only interested in wiping out everyone on the ship in an act of revenge, the negotiations group will be aware that if this meeting is unsuccessful, their purpose becomes buying time for those on the Moira to prepare to fight. The diplomats and their escorts that go over will be aware that ensuring their survival and safe return is not a priority and they must fight to return on their own. Loki will be present to help make an emergency exit of as many people as possible.
At its best, this plan will ensure a peaceful resolution with minimal crew exposure to the Caducans. At it's worst, they will get nowhere and the enemy will attack and the negotiations will serve as a stalling tactic so those on the Moira can prepare for a fight. This plan will leave room for diplomatic individuals to volunteer, and people who are interested in guarding to accompany them. The others on the ship will be making preparations while the negotiation team is buying time and doing their thing, defense and offense teams getting everyone into place. Everyone will be able to have a part in the preparations, but due to the nature of negotiations only a smallish team (I'd say between 5-10 people) and a few guards would actually be able to go over to negotiate. If the negotiations fail, everyone would be able to participate in both offensive and defensive capabilities.
