3rd January 1999 A lone enemy scout/survey ship enters Gliese 674 and are picked up by the small sensor post. Information is sent to New Earth in the neighbour system of Proxima Centauri 1 jump from SOL system and Terra itself.
The empire is stunned, Gliese 674 has been surveyed some 80 years ago and deemed safe inside the empires borders and the reserve fleet is sent to Gliese 674 and a new survey of the system by 30 survey ships finds a "closed" warp point, following that chain its only 5 jumps away from Terra and almost 40% faster than the 8 jumps we were planning to attack from. Most of the modern fleet units are mobilized and sent to the system next to Area 41, Reserve fleet is back at Terra in case of something goes wrong.
9th of May 1999, at 11:59:45
The invasion of Area 41 is about to commence.
The Assault Group led by the 2 mighty Monitors enter at 12:00:00 Supported by the 2 Battleship groups as well as several escort cruisers and 5 Groups of Heavy missile destroyers
All crews are at their battlestations.
12:00:00
Entering wormhole
Anticlimax, nothing waits on the other side...
In total 2 Monitors, 16 Battleships/Dreadnaughts, 6 Large escort cruisers and 62 heavy destroyers have nothing to engage
1 minute after the rest of the combat ships enters the system about the same time the large sensors on the monitors starts getting informations about enemy ships, some 880 Mkm away. Nothing is closer...
Last time we lost a lot of good ships, now its time to invade the Bug Empire.
