Late May, 2076
Nearly two days later the Magellan jumps out of the Solar System through the innermost jump point. The ship appears in the Luyten 726-8 system, a binary red dwarf system. The primary star has three planets, a gas giant orbiting very close, and two more Earth-like planets orbiting further out. The middle planet has a trace of atmosphere and would require approximately the same level of infrastructure as Mars had. The secondary star had a single Venus-like planet orbiting it. After taking a brief look around the Magellan jumped out and set its course for the Solar System’s third jump point.
Nine days later the Raleigh jumps out through the second jump point, appearing in the system named Teegarden’s Star, a red dwarf system containing three rocky planets, five gas giants, and numerous moons and asteroids. None of the planets or moons appears to be particularly hospitable. The Raleigh jumps out after a short time.
Two days later, on the 27th of May, the Magellan jumps out of the Solar System into a system it identifies as Epsilon Indi. Epsilon Indi is a trinary system with a K5-V Orange star primary with two brown dwarf stars orbiting it. The primary has a gas giant and two rocky planets orbiting it, one of which has liquid water and a thin atmosphere, while the two brown dwarfs have no planets.
June, 2076
The Magellan jumps out of the Solar System through the fifth jump point, appearing in the Barnard’s Star system. The system primary is a red dwarf star and it is orbited by three rocky planets and a super Jovian gas giant.
Four days later the Raleigh jumps out through jump point #4, appearing in the Procyon system. Procyon is an F5 sub-giant white star with four rocky planets, two gas giants, and numerous moons. One of the rocky inner planets has an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere much like Earth’s, although it is present only at 21% of the pressure of Earth’s atmosphere. The Raleigh jumps back to the Solar System to report its find, and then jumps back to Procyon to give a close look to the Earth-like planet. The round trip is estimated to take just over sixteen days.
July, 2076
The Raleigh returns to the Solar System and reports that the planet is uninhabited. The ship is then ordered to the Luyten 726-8 system to begin a jump point survey.
The President of the Federation announces the existence of the interstellar exploration program in a momentous speech on the 12th of this month. As per the speech, the reason for the interstellar exploration program is to discover new worlds for humanity to live on. No mention is made about the feared shortage of TN resources.
On July 12th, the Magellan jumps out of the Solar System through the sixth, and last, jump point. The survey ship appears in the Struve 2398 system. This system is a binary system with two red dwarf stars. The system primary is orbited by two rocky planets and a super Jovian gas giant, while the companion star is orbited by four rocky planets, four gas giants, and numerous moons. Two of the inner rocky planets have atmospheres, and one of them has oxygen, although it is a rather thin atmosphere. The Magellan jumps out, headed for the Teegarden’s Star system to perform a gravitic survey.
Aug., 2076
The Federation Council, in a secret meeting, decides to authorize expansion into the other systems. This expansion will be limited to targeted systems, and to maintain control the Council decides that instead of utilizing jump-capable ships they will build jump gates at jump points to systems that they decided should be colonized. Research teams are re-tasked immediately to develop the technology necessary to build jump gates. In addition, the Council decides to build a space navy capable of controlling the colonies they intend to place in other systems. Construction will be started immediately on three additional naval shipyards to support this new navy.
December, 2076
The Federation launches its first jump-capable geo-survey ship from the Martian yards. The Henry Hudson is ordered to the Luyten 726-8 system to survey the planets there.

April, 2077
The gravitic survey of Teegarden’s Star system is complete. The system has a total of five jump points. Following SOP, the Magellan sets its course for the jump point to the Solar System to report the results of its survey, after which it will probe the four new jump points.
May, 2077
The Magellan jumps through the innermost of the jump points in the Teegarden’s Star system, discovering the 40 Eridani system. The 40 Eridani system is a trinary system with an orange star primary orbited by a brown dwarf and a red star. Both the secondary and the tertiary star have a very distant orbit putting them out of range for the Magellan. The system primary is orbited by three rocky planets and a super Jovian gas giant. One of the rocky planets has an atmosphere that would almost be breathable if it had just a little bit more oxygen in it. Unfortunately the planet’s average temperature was -94.4 degrees, making the lack of oxygen the smallest problem. The red star secondary is also orbited by three rocky planets and a gas giant. Shortly after jumping in the Magellan’s sensors confirmed the presence of a population on the third planet. Following SOP the Magellan reported its findings to the Hudson in the Teegarden’s Star system then jumped back to 40 Eridani learn more about the civilization on the third planet.
Meanwhile, in the Luyten 726-8 system, the Raleigh completes its survey of the system, finding one additional jump point. After reporting the results of its survey it will probe the new jump point.
The Magellan, on approach to the third planet of 40 Eridani, detects three objects 353 million kilometers from its current position. All three objects have a thermal signature twice that of the Magellan itself. The Magellan is currently just 13.8 mkm’s from planet #3. After a short observation period it becomes clear that the objects are moving towards the Magellan at 6,655 kps, more than twice the Magellan’s maximum speed. The Magellan’s captain, Commander Montaluo, orders his ship to retreat at maximum speed while attempting to establish contact with the alien ships. Twelve hours later it becomes clear that the aliens are chasing the Magellan. Eight hours after that the aliens have closed to within 100 mkm’s of the Magellan and have refused to communicate. It is clear to Commander Montaluo that the aliens will be able to chase down his ship long before he can reach the jump point, but he orders his ship to continue on. Strangely enough, once they have interposed themselves in between the Magellan and the planet the alien ships stop advancing, allowing the Magellan to leave unmolested.
Four days later the Magellan was still running towards the warp point at maximum speed. The three alien ships were still positioned in between the Magellan and Planet #3. The Magellan’s science team had been working non-stop to establish communications with the aliens, with little success. Visuals of the aliens had been obtained, but little information had been gleaned. All aliens visible within the transmissions were wearing red armor that covered them from head to toe. Efforts continued as the Magellan retreated.
June, 2077
The Magellan continues to make attempts to establish contact with the aliens, without success.
In mid-month the Raleigh jumps out of the Luyten 726-8 system through its second jump point. The Raleigh appeared in a G8-V system quickly identified as Tau Ceti. The system proved to be planet-less and the Raleigh jumped back out, headed for home to refuel and give its crew shore-leave.
August, 2077
The Magellan’s captain reluctantly concludes that the aliens are too different and that communications might never be possible. The Magellan jumps out shortly thereafter, headed for the jump point home.
Four days later the Magellan jumps into the home system and sends off their report. Most of the details are already known to the high command as the Hudson has been relaying reports from the Magellan as needed. The High Command orders the Magellan to continue probing the warp points in the Teegarden’s system.
In mid-month the Magellan jumps out of the Teegarden’s Star system and into a binary system composed of two red dwarf stars identified as Groombridge 34. The system primary has three rocky planets, four gas giants, and numerous moons and asteroids. The secondary star is orbited by two rocky planets, two gas giants, and numerous moons and asteroids. None of the planets or moons has an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere. After a short time spent studying the system the Magellan jumps out.
One week later the Magellan jumps out of the Teegarden’s Star system through its fourth jump point, and appeared in yet another binary red dwarf star system. As with the Groombridge system both stars were orbited by rocky and gas giant planets, along with numerous moons and asteroids. The Magellan jumped out and headed for the fifth and last jump point in the Teegarden’s Star system.
Sept., 2077
The Magellan jumps out of the Teegarden’s Star system through its last unexplored jump point on the first day of this month. The ship reappears in the Epsilon Eridani system. The system primary is a K2-V orange star orbited by four rocky planets. Three of the planets have an atmosphere. The second planet is Venus-like, with a very dense atmosphere. The third planet has a very thin atmosphere composed primarily of methane. The fourth planet has a thin oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere. The Magellan’s captain orders his ship back to Teegarden’s Star and beams a report off to the Hudson before jumping back to Epsilon Eridani to probe the fourth planet.
The trip to the planet takes 18 days, and upon close approach the Magellan verifies that there are no advanced races present. Captain Montaluo orders his ship home for rest and refit.
Dec. 26, 2077
The terraforming of Mars is complete. The total atmospheric pressure is now 33.68% of a standard Earth atmosphere, and the average surface temperature is 15.41 degrees Celsius, making it warmer than Earth, which is still recovering from nuclear winter. There are celebrations across Mars, but resentment is growing on Earth due to the lingering radiation. BuReLoc orders its freighters to begin transferring infrastructure from Mars to Luna. In addition, the terraformer fleet is ordered to Luna as well. While the Moon has no TN resources, it is the next most habitable body in the system, and thus a good target to relocate Earth’s population away from the beleaguered planet.
The Federation Council decides that Luna will be colonized by the leadership of the Federation, and their assistants and servants. Ultimately, the Council intends that Luna will be the financial and scientific hub of the Solar System.
Jan., 2078
The Conference of Rio: Federation Council members and leading corporation CEO’s meet in Rio to discuss the aliens found in the 40 Eridani system. The tone taken during the conference is one of concern. While the aliens have not been overtly hostile, their standoffishness is concerning, especially in light of the non-existence of Federation defenses. The Council is reluctant to commit to a military buildup, as most of the Council members are of the generation that only remembers the military as a boogey man from Mankind’s past, but the corporate leaders are more decisive. They have their eyes not only on the inevitable military contracts, but on the severe resource shortages they see coming within the next decade or so. Gaining access, one way or another, to another race’s resources would go a long ways to alleviating the Federation’s resource crunch.
July, 2078
The Magellan jumps out of the Struve 2398 system through its single unexplored jump point and discovers that the jump point connects with the Luyten 726-8 system. This is both intriguing and disturbing, as the Luyten 726-8 system had been surveyed and only one additional jump point had been discovering connecting the system to Tau Ceti. The fact that this jump point went undiscovered had disturbing implication for the other known systems.
Sept., 2078
While surveying the planets and moons of the Kruger 60 system for resources, the Henry Hudson suddenly detects twenty-seven objects while en route to Kruger 60-B VI. The contacts are 41 mkm’s away, out-system from the Hudson, and each contact has a thermal signature one quarter that of the Hudson. The Hudson’s CO, Commander Kelley Furbee, orders her ship to come to a halt and turns all sensors on the new contacts. It soon becomes clear that the alien ships are much faster than the Hudson, as they are headed directly towards the Hudson at 10,000 kps. Commander Furbee orders her ship to retreat to the jump point at maximum speed. Eighty minutes later the alien ships had closed to near point blank range, and had refused the increasingly frantic attempts by the Hudson’s crew to communicate. Suddenly, without warning, the Hudson was smashed by a barrage of weapons fire that passed through its armor as if it wasn’t there. The hapless ship was severely damaged by the first barrage, and then crippled by the second ten seconds later. The third barrage destroyed the ship. As there were no other Federation ships in the system the Hudson’s loss wouldn’t be noticed for another sixty-five days, which was the date for her next check-in.
The Federation’s first jump gate construction ships are launched on September 17th. The first ship is dispatched the jump point to Teegarden’s Star, while the second is sent to the jump point to the Struve 2398 system.
November, 2078
The Magellan jumps out of the Barnard’s Star system and appears in the Alpha Centauri system. The Alpha Centauri system is a binary system with a yellow G2-V primary and an orange secondary star. The system primary is orbited by a lone gas giant and numerous asteroids, while the secondary star is orbited by four rocky planets and a gas giant. None of the planets have oxygen-nitrogen atmospheres, but, oddly enough, the system is connected to the Barnard’s star system via a set of jump gates. There is no other sign of civilization. After a short time the Magellan begins to survey the Alpha Centauri system while its sister ship returns to the Solar System to report.
December, 2078
The Federation Space Command has reported to the Council that the Henry Hudson has failed to report in after its survey of the Kruger 60 system. While she could be merely late, given the fact that at least one alien race exists which refuses to talk to humanity, nothing can be ruled out. Unfortunately, the Federation’s first warships are still months from being laid down. The Council orders the Teegarden’s Star system and all of the systems beyond it to be off limits until a navy can be built to determine the reason for the disappearance of the Hudson.
The Magellan is dispatched to the Kruger 60 system. Space command is concerned about losing the Magellan as well, so the CO’s orders are to jump into the system and remain at the jump point. The Magellan is specifically ordered not to leave the area around the jump point unless positive contact is established with the Hudson and no threat exists.
Jan., 2079
The Federation Naval Yards orbiting Earth begin construction of the Belknap, the flagship for the Federation’s new fleet. The Belknap is 26,000 tons, mounts a jump engine, and is massively armored. Current plans call for the Belknap class to be accompanied by the Oliver Hazard Perry class battlecruisers. These ships are also 26,000 tons, but they do not have jump engines and thus are able to devote that mass to offensive weapons. In addition, work has begun converting the smaller yards over Mars to build the 10,000 ton Portland class patrol cruiser. This ship is lightly armored, and mounts anti-missile missile launchers and two dual-purpose laser turrets. Finally, the yards over Earth begin producing the Forrestal class gunboats. These tiny ships are very fast, with a maximum speed of 12,000 kps, and mount 20 or 25 box launchers for ASM’s, depending on the design.

The Magellan reports that it did not find any sign of the Hudson. Having made no contact or detected any sign of the Hudson the Magellan didn’t leave the immediate area around the jump point. The ship is officially listed as missing and the Kruger 60 system is declared off-limits by the Council.
April, 2079
The Federation’s first two warships are launched. The Forrestal class gunboats maiden voyage is from Mars to Earth, where they will load their ordnance.

August, 2079
The Federations first jump gate pair, connecting the Solar System to the Struve system and the Teegarden’s Star system, is complete. The Struve system boasts a planet with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere and TN resource deposits, as well as a number of other attractive mining locations. Teegarden’s Star system also had very good mining sites, however, until the alien threats can be neutralized no colonization will be allowed.
February, 2080
The flagship of the Federation Fleet, the 26,000 ton jump battle cruiser Belknap, is launched from the Martian yards.
May, 2080
The terraforming of the Moon is declared complete. The terraforming fleet is ordered to move to Struve B-II. The trip will take nearly six months.
June, 2080
The Federation Council authorizes the establishment of the Federation’s first extra-solar colony, a mining outpost on Struve A-I.
April, 2081
The three Federation gravitic survey ships complete their survey of the Procyon system, finding no new jump points. This has become a serious situation. Now that Procyon has been surveyed, there are only three systems that haven’t been surveyed to date, and two of them are beyond Teegarden’s Star and thus off limits. The gravitic survey ships set out for Tau Ceti, beyond Luyten 726-8, to begin their survey. If the system has no new jump points then humanity will have no other route of expansion except through Teegarden’s Star.
October, 2081
The 1st Gravitic Survey Group, its three survey ships fresh from an overhaul, returns to the Tau Ceti system. Tau Ceti is the last un-surveyed system open to Federation ships, at least until the Navy manages to clear the systems beyond Teegarden’s Star. If Tau Ceti has no open jump points then the Federation will have no route for expansion except through Teegarden’s Star.
April, 2082
The 1st Gravitic Survey Group completes its survey of the Tau Ceti system, finding two additional jump points. The Vasco de Gama is dispatched back to the Solar System to report in, while the other two ships probe the two new jump points.
On the 29th the Raleigh jumps out of the Tau Ceti system and materializes in the Van Maanen’s Star system, a white dwarf star with no planets. The Raleigh jumps back to Tau Ceti after a short period of time.
On May 16th, the Raleigh jumps out of Tau Ceti through the second unexplored jump point, appearing in the EV Lacertae system. This system has a red dwarf star primary, and no planets. After a short time the Raleigh jumps back and informs the Magellan, which is closing on the jump point. The EV Lacertae system will be their next survey target.
August, 2082
The Federation 1st Fleet as completed its training maneuvers and is declared ready for duty. The training level of the ships is uneven, but the Council is eager for them to begin clearing the systems beyond Teegarden’s Star. The 1st Fleet is composed of the following ships:
BCJ Belknap (Flagship, Rear Admiral Maurais)(Belknap Mod 2)
BCJ Josepus Daniels (Belknap Mod 2)
BC’s Oliver H. Perry, Clark, Duncan, McInerney, and Wadsworth
CP’s Bejing, Moskva, Portland, Seattle, Yorkshire
FSC (Fleet Scout) Arleigh Burke (10xForrestal Gunboats)
The fleet sets its course for the 40 Eridani system, with an ETA of ten days and fourteen hours.

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
The Burke class was originally intended to carry fewer gunboats and a larger sensor suite, thus justifying the Fleet Scout designation. The design underwent a number of changes just prior to production, and the gunboat complement was drastically increased forcing capabilities in nearly every other area to be reduced.
