2040-2042 The World goes to crap
« on: February 04, 2016, 01:55:31 AM »
OVERVIEW



The beginning of this period started promising for the Earth factions more ships being launched, minerals now following for all faction from the comets. New factions explore the universe as the primary explorers of the OPAB and NPS build jump gates to allow ships to pass. Then it goes to crap by 2041 Christmas Eve an Alien race build on the moon, there was no warning no explanation. Factions stalled for time but not all felt the new alien species was friendly, this was sinister.

CHINA
2040

China is well on the road of recovery as it laid down new combat vessel, to replace the last Luda class destroyed. I gathering a lot of minerals from it comet colonies.

Mars - 112 AutoMines              - Mercassium 4.5m (0.9), Corundium 1.6m (0.1), Gallicite 11m (0.1)
Wolf - 96 Auto Mines                - Corundium 32k (0.8), Sorium 13K (0.7), Gallicite 20k (0.5)
Reinmuth - 43 AutoMines         - Duraniium 28k (1), Corbomite 10k (0.6), Mercassium 22k (0.5)

2041
Steals some plans on current known systems from OPAB, and plans to build the OPAB gateway construction ship. It decides to make an exact copy and build this to save time.

2042

The new alien race that appears out of nowhere and build on the moon, china gets frustrated by the lack of communication and no knowledge why they are near earth. The other factions seem to be unable or unwilling to take action, China is the only faction to have a single troop transport ship that can land up to brigade of troops. China took it upon itselves to remove the alien colony, it would break the Moon treaty agreement but hopefully this would be over in a couple of months and they could return to Earth as saviours and the other factions would thanks them. This was a threat China was unwilling to ignore.

The landings of 80th Mobile Brigade went smoothly and they were able to group without an attack on the landing zones. The commander of 80th Shao Jiang - Cai Xiu Jian, had been around a long time in the officer corp, wanted to get stuck into her objective and clear the colony. But upon contact the alien species now known as the Republic of Hamir, a bipedal species not too dissimilar to Humans were technology capable in the field. Although the numbers were similar that were able to inflict heavily losses onto the 80th over a month of fighting, only after a month the 80th registered it first tactical win taking a small objective. The request for reinforcements were sent.

The 92nd Assault Brigade landed bring fresh troops and started to turn the tide of the battle into China favour, but the progress was slow another month of action was grinding the enemy down China then sent in the 93rd Assault Brigade and with it a new primary commander Shao Jiang - Ga Xia Long, Jian had already done the heavy lifting but it as Long that got the credit for the final take over of the Hamir Colony.

A month after taking the colony a Hamir fleet enter the Sol system, a security council is convened and President Lu Qiang Xian now highly concerned since it only had one laser destroyer used his diplomacy and xenophobia speech to galvanise Earth support for his faction. He used the concern a nuke on China not only affect china dialogue that al the factions agreed to except the CSU. Any Hamir missile near Earth would become hostile to those factions.

The twenty 18,500 ton vessels orbited over the moon. China was hopefully it their extract any remaining forces, so China single ship stayed Dock at Earth. The rest of Earth factions were poised.

The ships were infact colony ships and made 22 separate colonies over the moon, china relayed back they were troop transports and engaged each of the undefended colonies, one captured they would execute all the aliens, or destroy their infrastructure and let the aliens die. China now knowing ships were colony ships engaged the defenceless ships with their sole destroyer destroying all but two so the aliens would know not to return. The Chinese took aboard prisoner and returned to earth, most would be used for medical experiments later.

July 2042 Combat Vessel  of the Hamir entered the system, these were faster and when reaching 110m km from Earth active sensor were detected. Once again the factions launched ready for a missile attack on China, but did not engage. The first lot of vessels engaged the Chinese civilian freighter with what appear to be laser fire, and destroyed two of them.

It took over five  minutes to destroy the freighters this gave the Chinese some tactical insight. Firstly engaged at a range that was similar to the Chinese lasers. The three combat ships firepower were as powerful combined as the single Chinese vessel. China gave the order to engage the now designated Hamir Laser Frigates.

The Taizhou fought the three vessels of similar size with tenacity, the laser firing from it four twin turrets, but the enemy vessels had more powerful laser not as fast firing but the damage over time crippled the destroyer. China only combat capable vessel was destroyed, Da Xaio - Sun Jiao last broadcast before the final hit, was for the world not to see China in ruins. Emergency meeting were held, at this stage china was at the mercy not of the enemy but other nations on earth.



By November the last civilian settlement was cleared out by the Chinese Military

CRESCENT STAR UNION
2040

The CSU steals Geo data from OPAB about Sol, allowing it survey vessel to return and sit idle without using fuel.   CSU launched a Science vessel and entered in the Proxima Centauri, it continued it exploration as Alpha Centauri was discovered by the end of the year, this had a liveable planet except it was very old at -30 so some infrastructure would be needed. Water would be a problem as it had no water on the planet. No sooner had they moved into the system to survey they detected a new race. The CSU decide to communicate with the new alien race, with full communications established, they soon found out the race was the Republic of Hamir, but the CSU did not want to disturb the new alien race and went back to Sol, They did not pass this information along to the other factions.

2041

At the end of 2041 the Republic of Hamir land a base on the moon, the CSU could not tell the other factions as would need explain why they had not warned them of a new alien species. The CSu still felt the Hamir were peaceful and tried to tone down the rhetoric, especially China's. But they came to nought when china launched an attack on the moon colony.


2042
CSU is Neutral to Hamir, as the other nations are hostile. It was not until the Imperium's PDC which had not attacked the Hamir was attack that CSU that it found it fatal flaw in the logic. The new alien race did not understand Human politics and factions and had lumped all faction into the same basket. The CSU used it Missile corvette used all it stocks, although the AMM did not a lot of damage it was able to do damage on armour that was stripped away and give the inbound enemy some long distance concerns.

IMPERIUM
2040

The stolen plans of the Steal Cobra AMM from OPAB, was all to convenient for the Imperiums. Firstly is was a CSU missile design, and it was was not dealt any extra police presence on it spy team perhaps this was more of a secret gift to the Imperium. Either way the Imperium did not look the gift horse in the mouth.

2041

2042
The Imperium was one of the first to gain effective communication with the Republic of Hamir, but was not getting much headway with it diplomatic protest on the colony of the moon. The Imperium felt China had jumped the gun but could understand all there concerns, which was the same as the Imperium.

The Imperium did not interact with any of China assault or provide material support it was not until the Bordeaux PDC  was hit by laser fire that the Imperium responded. The Kiev and Commerce de Marseille gave chase with their particle beam cutting into the Hamir laser frigates. The Kiev bridge was hit and destroyed, however the commander survived and fought on the OPAB, NPS and CSU now joined in the fight. As the OPAB fighter overtook the Kiev, the fire from the Hamir shift focus onto the fighters, the Hamir ships were way too fast, but the two Imperium frigates were still able to cause damage. The NPS ship had good range as well and was able to engage at the Hamir desired range.

The Imperium fighter group was left behind it was too old and has such a slow pace it was was not going to provide any support, it head back to Earth for missile protection duties.

Two of the Hamir laser frigates were destroyed by the combined firepower of the NPR and CSU, however the Kiev was lost, the crippled Hamir ship escaped back to it own system.



The Calin group of four ships came in about 4 hours after the frigates, after seeing the destruction of the OPAB fighter force the Mutli faction fleet turned around and head back to Earth still engaged with the Hamir vessels.

Closer the Earth the factions felt safer, the Hamir which target back to the Imperium PDC while the Imperium and NPS fired at the ships, this was a sound tactic as the PDC was well armoured. The attacked lasted 10 minutes then the Imperium PDC was reduced to rubble, however by the time the Combined Faction Fleet had done the damage with only one ship left when they turned it attention onto the OPAB PDC. The NPC was able to get a lucky hit and knock out the hamir sensors, and the Imperium slow fighters were allowed the final dignity in destroying the Hamir 15,000 ton laser ship.

27th of July, Earth suffered a massive attack on the planet and one it was not prepared for over 900 missiles headed to Earth which were launched well out it own offence range, the CSU fired with it three  corvettes the NPS with its gauss cannon eliminated as much as it could but short range dependant of the last sensor point before the guns tracked 5 seconds from earth. Earth suffered as missile got through the defence aimed mainly at the OPAB PDC. but much hit other points or cause destruction elsewhere.

It was not until after the battle that the Imperium identified the twisted remains of it shipyards. The Imperium realised it going to be a long road back to space, and this attack would not be soon forgotten.

NEW PAPAL STATES
2040

Active Grav data on Sol stolen from Imperium, which was totally unneeded. A new Jump Point entered from the Luke System once again into an empty star, however scientists were happy as they now discovered a rare Y class Brown Dwarf Star something they were not able to study before. The new system was named James, or commonly know as the James Star as it was a devoid system.
Research progressed with the Gen 5 Gauss complete.

2041
2042

The NPS was one of the first factions to notice the 23 ships heading for the moon, it seemed to the NPS considering a sneak colony was completed this could be a full invasion of the Sol System. However the NPS was unwilling to take the lead on this they did not feel they were the most superior when it came to military technology.

Later the NPS became to realise without its crusader fleet and it 15cm railguns it saved the day against the first wave of Hamir ships and then again with it high speed gauss canons it was able to destroy 60% of the inbound missiles. The NPS felt pride in their fleet and were one of the few nations not to be impacted as much by the end of July 27th.


OPAB
2040

Combat Drop Module - Battalion stolen from china, and old hebron class survey ship from the CSU started out an otherwise uneventful new Year. The Struve 398 system discovery another binary system, 5 and eight planets circulate around 2 red dwarves. Nothing easily livable though the OPAB still could not find that Earth-like planet to colonise.

2041

The aim in 2041 was  Indominable and Survey crafts to be upgraded to the new ID engines. The ships orbited earth waiting intern to receive the refits. More system discovery with the entry into Kruger 60-A a binary system with  red red dwarf circling red giant, with a number of planets circling most but none perfect for colonisation. The OPAB also discovered via other means of Alpha Centarui, a promising system but with Ross 228 developed the OPAB did not plan to expand into a different wing and would have to leave that to the other factions.

2042

When the Chinese attacked the new alien race, the OPAB quickly decided to make it own troop transport. Identifying it was  helpless to either help or attack the aliens, a position it did not like. With what china described as troopships being deployed then destroyed by the chinese, the OPAB needed some quick defencive measures and made some quick designs involving missile satellites.

OPAB in the early hours of the 25th called the Imperium and NPS and let them know if the Hamir were to attack China fleet above Earth it would engage and hoped it would count on the support of the Imperium and NPS, which they agreed. This however never relayed to the Chinese so not to give them the excuse to start an attack.

The Hamir bombarding the Imperium PDC, was a surprise it the OPAB launched it fighters and chased the Hamir laser frigates. The OPAB fighter were the fastest ship on Earth currently but could not catch the Hamir ships  that started to knock out one by one. The OPAb pulled back in behind the Imperium and NPS ships and when these ships sufficiently damaged the engines of the Hamir the OPAB flew in an made quick work o the frigates.

The Calin group came in about 4 hours after the frigates, the CSU put them under a hail of missile fire however there AAM were not designed as ship killers, seem to be only scratching the surface. They seem to be headed to Luna orbit instead of Earth, the OPAB took this as a sign these much be troop transports and intercepted the ships, however they turned out to be 15,000 ton but still very fast. Although they hit an individual Calin point blank with 15  fighters they could not penetrate more then 3 layers of armour. they did break the formation of the Calin, little did they know this was not a success but a trap, as The Fighter group tried to return to Earth the Calin were faster and obliterated the group.

The 27th was a black day as it was the final bombardment of the planet, and the Earth suffered the amount of background radiation kicked up and the planetary dust kicks Earth temperature down to 5 degrees. Radiation sat around 800 which would cause many probably to come. Not to say the wreck on 90% of the shipping sitting in the Earth orbit.
