Fade In peeps,

Earth and the two breakaway colonies for most part have played nicely. The Proxima Treaty provided both Earth and Brightstar an avenue to explore other systems, by allowing no government sponsored colonies to be established in the Proxima Centuari sytem. This could be seen as a step in the right direction.

Earth is plowing ahead rediscovering geo data it had lost and gate building on the Lacialle 9352 system. The loss of two engineer brigades were a low point in Earth new governing body but the quick recapture the planet and restored public opinion.

Brightstar and Grisson faced strong public pressure for the lack of defence on their Earth colonies, so Earth gave each colony a PDC with ICBM ability. The fineprint stated that missiles cannot be loaded into the silo, but majority of the public are unaware and now the public uproar has quietened down.

But Earth has had its own trouble with it lack of mineral to expand and maintain its fleet. This crisis has allowed Brightstar and Grisson not to be concerned with it neighbour and press ahead with their own geo surveys and hopefully soon colonise other systems.

Grisson although feeling vulnerable had grabbed a mutual defence pact with Earth now, in case of Brightstar aggression. Brightstar moving of research lab is it last connections to Earth but with the lack on transport civilian or with Brightstar own fleet it will take a long time to move the 30 centres.

We will monitor the situation, but for now all seems quiet with each bloc happy to hold its own above water.

Till we fade.

17 August 2153		Earth sells the DD Pius Antonis to BrightStar for 7000 ton Neutroium, this now will see the immediate end to the mineral crisis
10 September 2153		The population of Argonis rejoices as Grisson survey team find a 200,000 Duraium deposit, this will fix their dwindling stocks
25 October 2153		Grisson announces has found some alien ruins on Lacialle 8760 and exploring them
4 June 2154		Brightstar announces their new active sensor technology has been stolen by unnamed parties
8 August 2154		Grisson stocks take a sharp increase as they announce they have start exploring new worlds
1 February 2155		29 day Battle with guardians on Barnwell
20 March 2155		Grisson lost its only construction ship to a blackhole system

Fade in,

Each of the three states, have continued to grow and peacefully at this stage, the main reason is each is incapable of a prolonged war, although Earth is now regaining it Fleet prowess now. Grisson had a promising start investigating 3 new systems unfortunately a black hole system swallowed up their only construction ship, it will take time to shift production for a new one.

Brightstar's Eternal Class is proving to be a good class as already 6 have rolled of the shipyard line. They now have the largest civilian fleet which is helping the transfer of the research modules.

Their has been a number of battles on Barnwell, the politicians have not send any colonist here, only military. The 1st Marine Regiment arrived to help lighten the load, for most parts the alien defence systems are reduced pretty quickly, occasionally they get a few lucky penetration and casualties. But for the most part their technology is not as good as Earth ground forces.

The Military encryption protocols are fairly high at the moment, so we have unable to provide any scoops or personal logs. But you would find most of them quite boring since the main focus of the states is regaining there feet.

Fade Out.

$#....2157.9.21

24 March 2156		Earth launches the Science Vessel, Belknap. The Belknap Class purpose is the discovery of new systems
3 July 2156		SV Belknap find aliens in the newly explored LHS 471 system
5 August 2156		Earth discontinues communication attempts stopped for alien species, as they have not replied to any of our signals
11 August 2156		SV Belknap finds Arae aliens in EG45 system and is lucky to escape with enemy combat vessels closing in on it
21 August 2156		Earth discover Grisson has a combat vessels via an Earth trading captain
21 September 2157		1st Battle of the EG45 system

Fade in,

Here is a real scoop, we just received news that the Border Fleet was involved in a battle in the EG 45 system, this is the first battle with these ships since the Lacialle 8760 battles. Earth who fleet has recently been restored but still short on missiles, sent two Belgium class missile destroyers, two crusader light carriers and two missile frigates and a destroyer into EG45. THe gate builder had been building a path, as soon as SV Belknap had made contact.

We at ORK have intercepted the battle logs that been filter back to Earth, these logs are a day old.
