2025-2027 Syoans take a risk
« on: January 10, 2016, 06:21:50 AM »
OVERVIEW

Earth is quickly running out of it resources, by the end of 2027 there is only Duranium, Nuetonium, Tritanium, Boronide left. However much the  factions have now Freighters and are populating Auto Mines on different Celestial bodies. Syoan needed something to kick start its industry and research, before the humans over took them in many areas. There were ruins on 21 Arietis, this laid between Earth and the Syoan system, much of their development was to get ready to explore those ruins.



CHINA

2025
China drive for the next three years again laid towards industry and commerical shipping. There was a long term aim to include a 10,000 ton destroyer in the arsenal, but with its advantage in number in ground force defence there was no need for concern over the factions military build up elsewhere. The five additional research facilities that were built helped the completion of the Nuclear Pulse Engine research and other energy weapon research to keep a small pace in this field.

2026
China continued shipping mines to Mars, however surveyed a Asteroid Wolf, which had a good chunk of minerals that were not longer available on Earth. China decided to subsidise a shipping line
and put out into the civilian sector contract, to transport Automated mines to the asteroid. this contract was the first of its kind on Earth.

2027
Shipyards, expansions, slipways. By the end of 2027 China had four shipyards: 11,0000 Naval yard (2), 1000 Naval yard (4), 40,000 Commercial yard, 30,000 Commercial yard. The serious depletion of Sorium on earth force many of the factions including China to build a Fuel Harvester. Towards the end of 2027 China received new of Syoans plight and graciously accepted the Jump Point Theory, but at this stage are reluctant to help the Syoans, knowing a) China is not at a military capacity to help b) China goals do not line up with Syoan survival, but jumping to other systems will establish more commercial opportunities later.

CRESCENT STAR UNION

2025
The CSU focus much of 2025 on sensor upgrades to later deploy on it corvettes. the Commercial slipway is expanded, and the CSU continue to pump out a number of Freighters. The Freighter goals are to put 100 automated mines on Mars.

2026
The CSU have enough member now to activated a Spy cell. They select the OPAB, due to a number of advances they saw the previous year such as a PDC and the engagement on Mars. There own research is more sensor and Logic technologies, such as Cargo handling Cryogenic Transport, Fuel Storage. Also they strength their ground units.

2027
The CSU spy tem captured plans for a new OPAB missile. Firstly the missile itself is well designed, with a size 5 warhead it could serious damage or cripple the CSU corvette, also it range and speed is only slightly less than the CSU King Cobra Anti Missile. The CSU thought they would be further along than OPAB or anyone else in missile technology. The CSU underestimated the OPAB or overestimated it own research. It was only when the OPAB launched 10 small vessels that the CSU understood that this must be some type of fast missile boat.

IMPERIUM

2025
The focus of the Imperium was developing their Kiev Frigate.

Code: [Select]
Kiev class Frigate    5 750 tons     160 Crew     854.4 BP      TCS 115  TH 120  EM 0

ECCM-1 (1)         ECM 10

The freighter that would ship automated mines, but not to Mars, but to a Comet called Neujim, which had a good amount of Corbomite and Vendarite, and very accessible. Much of 2025 research aimed at logical things like Troop Transport, Cryogenic Transport, Cargo Handling and also some energy weapon improvements.

2026
A small error by the Geo Survey craft left them stranded without fuel. The freighters were able to divert and provide refueling but quickly the imperium drew up plans for a tanker and tug. This would be later bumped for a fuel harvester. Another project that was later bumped was a escort for the Beam Frigate. The Imperium understood the risk of the Beam Frigate from long range bomber or missile attack, but for now would have to delay for more industry requirements. The focus on energy weapons over missile is the lack of scientist in this field, and the exceptional scientist in the energy field. For now the Imperium would focus on energy based attacks and defence.

2027
The Imperium lacked anything important in 2027, many of the Military directions need to be changed for more logistic and industry based needs. At the end of 2027 after receiving jump point theory, the Imperium switch research into Grav sensor, Jump gates. The goal was two fold. 1) Support the Syoans 2) Expand into other systems

NEW PAPAL STATES

2025
The poor showing in research in the last three years were streamlined into what the NPS could do well. Also focusing on the goal of automated mines on Mars. The were able to quickly achieve these goals and make great strides in logistics.

2026
More logical research completed and a touch into Railgun technology for defence and future offense. Plans at the end of the year to build a corvette had to be put aside to focus on a Fuel harvester.

2027
Other then a bump in Mining Production, the NPS had  a very quiet 2027. Other then Grav Sensor research the NPS is not able at this stage to take advantage of the new Jump Point Theory.

OPAB

2025
The year started of quiet well the Espionage team in the Imperium able to grab the design specs of the Kiev Frigate under construction was a huge boon to the strategic propeller heads. The one thing noted that could of been a big surprise if they come up against the Imperium again was the ECM and ECCM packages. A Strategic Bomber was quickly put on the design board to destroy this threat.

The Ballarat Salvager was launched this was able to recover the debris from the engagement at Mars. The Imperium made a huge fuss over thee recovery of its fighters, however the technology proved to be well out of date to be any use. Other than minerals, nothing was really learnt. Personal effects were returned to the Imperium.

2026
The OPAB activated a Spy Team inside the CSU. The CSU was selected as they seemed second or first in launches or important events. Also having the large warship in space also provided another good reason. The OPAB had it own freighter built and started sending Automated Mines to Stephan-Omertis, there was not much choice of Veradite in the system the lowest resource on the OPAB list of soon to depleted resources. However this comet was a good find and survey that the other factions might have missed.



2027
The newly activated Spy Team steals -80% Magazine Feed System from the CSU, this is a bonus and cause for alarm. this means the CSu must be still ahead in missile technology at the very least. Not long after this success the sad new of the Imperium located agents were killed.

The OPAB but together a Strategic bomber wing that would consist of four bomber craft and one AWACS. These started to quickly populate the OPAB defences.

The OPAB was in the best position to accept the Syoans proposal and news. Research heavily in Grav sensors, Jumpgates were well underway. The only issue the OPAB has is the do not have a large enough shipyard to launch a larger Military vessel from. This mean any Earth Help could be at least four years away.

SYOANS

2025
The human rapid progress, continue to alarm the Syoans. they had research in certain areas that were well established but many other area the Humans were now ahead. The Syoans had know the system in between Earth and Syoan, 21 Arietis had a come old wreck and some ruins. This could if they were able to launch troopships and construction brigades could quickly speed the current industry on Syo. This quickly became the only focus of research and production.

2026
Saw continuation of the above goals, as a troopship was designed and was well underway in being built. Also a Construction Brigade was under way being built.

 2027
With the troopship going to be ready by  the end of the year Syoans decided to investigate further 21 Arietis.

After reaching the four planet of the system, a New Race was discovered. The Syoans being peaceful held there marker between the 3rd and 4th planet and initiating contact.

Several months went by whether the alien race refused to communicate or the Syoans could not find a way nothing was happening. The Third planet was coming close to the Marker on it orbit around. The unspeakable happened a surprise attack. Three attack vessel launched quick and fired damaging the two Syoan Jump Destroyers. The crew inexperience and a lax attitude toward the now enemy ships were large factor to the death of near 300 Syoans and two ships.

The Syoan council quickly convened, they had no Battle Fleet and even building two ship would take several years, the proposal was put on the table to alert the humans. If this alien species knew Jump Point theory they could jump into the Syoans system and wiped them out. After much deliberation the Syo Administrator Negan Muhuli who cautious and unforgiving nature. Declare the hostile race more of a risk then human expansion, and share the knowledge with the humans about Jump Point Theory.

This might not be the wisest decision but what else can the Syoans do, at the very least the Human have displayed a willingness to communicate, as all their faction have diplomacy teams aimed at present a good friend to the Syoans.
