4048 - 4057
The Aquarian just did not get the ramp up of require mineral in time. Perhaps there is something said about stabilisation of Jump Points, but the Fleet wants a little bit of protection for now.
Calendar Entries of Note
4048, 1 January Reviewing Planets it has been decided that Sigma II give us the best option to mine for minerals. It has resources across the board and they are minable plus ground survey is possible. RA and Candance has been detached from the Battle Fleet, to take out some Surveyors and a small group of defensive forces.
4048, 14 February Commander Dorris Bertholf, may not be spending valentines day with her Boo, however she did the next best thing aboard the SC Betwsyoced. Discovered a new jump point out of Sigma Phoenicis.
4048, 29 May While going through some old sensor logs it was discovered there was an old Earth Outpost on Noviello I, Joint Chiefs were putting together a new unit for checking this old installation. Perhaps some old tech can be rediscovered and help us in the future fights we will encounter. The new unit is call OEA Team, Old Earth Archaeologists.
4048, 13 June The mineral Corundium has run out on Aquaria, leaving the new destroyer Escorts unable to be completed. There is 2643 coming from Aquarii III, but we need a better source.
4048, 5 August The additional upgrades to the Amein Frigate class with the first 4 ships refitted. Upgrade to the Engine and Active and Passive Sensor arrays. Creating a slightly lighter and faster Frigate.

4048, 23 December 7th Bn, 3rd Ranger Regiment landed on Sigma II, a number of automated mines were already hard at work digging minerals. Automated was not quite true there always a presence of a small contingent of engineers and miners, that sheltered in this hostile world. The Atmospshere was not breathable, it was on average -39 degrees Damn Cold. Let hope there mission in protecting the Survey Company did not last forever. Lt Colonel Dante was promoted from the Regular Infantry to now managing a Battalion of Rangers. That how depleted the officer corp was, and she was not great at her job, even she knew this easily confused and flustered any time something went wrong.
4049, 4 April Dr Cathy Vandermolen, completed research into Ceramic Composite Armour. This is a huge upgrade how since we just upgrade our ships, troops it has been shelved until later upgrades. A real shame it was here sooner but with mineral shortage at the moment its not become a priority. However the New River Destroyer Class have not been put in the yard so it will be the first to achieve this also the new Dropship classes will receive the new armour
4049, 6 July The lack of Uridum has paused all ship building tasks and even mainataince stocks have stopped, we do have 1/2 million supplies not sure hwo long that will hold out.
4049, 15 August The Battle Fleet landed 3rd Ranger Regiment mins 7th Battalion and the 1st OEA Company to investigate the outpost on Noviello I, this is a busy system so many asteroids and planets. Brigadier Hollis Wilkins looked out with his Gloomy disposition. He was promoted to Colonel on January 3, 4040 from 5th Ranger Bn. He missed the drop on Cancun IV, and he felt bad like survivors guilt. He was indecisive what to do with the Battle Fleet, however he decided to keep them for a month in orbit above just in case they needed to extract.
4049, 16 October Dr Karol Resch finished working on Thermal Sensor Sensitivity 14, before she could organise labs for commercial reasons Dr Mildord Delph took the labs to work on Active Grav Sensor he has some new idea that could boost the signal.
4050 - 4053 Was just shipping automated mines, and trying to get back to be able to ship build again. Govenor Adaberto Revis was heavily critized for the lack for foresight. Unable to build anything with the lack or Uridum, Corundium and Sorium, This might go on even longer.
4054, 29 January Dr Connie Solano, developed the Far UV laser. This then added some value to point defence however our PD ships were still in dock waiting for more Urium.
4054, 30 July Finally the first Destroyer Escort rolls off the line the DE Carpathian, these will protect the frigates from inbound missile attacks. It a ity there system are now out of date considering we had upgraded the mahority of the sensors and Fire Controls.
4054, 28 October The rest of the destroyer Escorts completed, we have not seem much of the Mobile Imperium, they seemed to have kept away from our system with the Bootis System being a nice buffer.
4055, 14 August Completion of the New Laser Turrets. Our Technology is outstripping our construction ability.
4056, 12 April Dr Karol Resch completed work on the Improved Geo Sensors. More Jump Freighters have been completed to send automated mines out to various planets.
4056, 5 August Dr Milford Deph retired at the age of 63. The man did not even wait around to recieve any great awards although he was deserving. His assistant Dr Karen Livergood has taken over.
4056, 19 September It was decided to go see the Mobile imperium, as we not seen them in some time. We are sending 3 Destroyer Escorts and 4 Frigates to investigate.
4057, 6 February New System Discovered, the third Jump off the Sigma system. The System is tiny, it has 2 Planets and four moons. However one of the planet is Habitable. Average Temperature of -2 , Breathable Atmosphere, gravity of .74 of Earths. Perhaps this place is uninhabited and we can settle a Colony here. The system once again is called Cacun. WHY OH WHY. It now being renamed to the Captain Last name which is Kwiecien
4057, 12 March The Kwiecien planet is occupied. Just my luck. We will need to sen our diplomatic vessel out here.
4057, 22 April Captain Porfiro Sheley, decided to check out the unexplored Jump Gate, that from the Ceti system. Once he entered the new system he was astounded. The system had 11 planet 42 moons and what was crazy 676 asteroids. The Captain decided he done his quick recon and was headed back to Ceti system complete a swing by the Mobile Imperium home world and head back the Aquarian Prime. Maybe the Captain was asking for trouble.
4057, 29 May An Update on the number of ships in the MI Fleet, 23 Destroyers, 5 Cruisers, 4 Light Escort Cruisers and a mass of other ships commercial and civilian. The Planet is defended with a number of Bam and Missile Defensive Bases. There is no one way can go again the Mobile Imperium now or ever.
4057, 4 December The 1st Fleet has returned, the DIP Alantia is on the way to Kwiecien. Nothing is happening at the Outpost, perhaps it requires more OEA Teams. Any though of Payback with the Mobile Imperium is a pipe dream. Atleast they have not tried to invade out systems.
