CHINA

2019

Population   2089m                   Factories     44          Research     30
Wealth         46K                        Mines          44          Finance       20           Maintenance         34

1 Mil Shipyard -1000t

China continues its development into Nuclear thermal Engine achieving it in July, Since the other factions seem far ahead as some have launched or preparing to launch, it continued development in Gauss research to develop defensive weaponry. September saw the addition of another Ground Force facility as he continued to convert Low tech infantry to Garrison Troops.

2020

China continued it weapon research devoting time to Spinal mount and the production of 50 Fighter factories, they are not even close in developing a fighter but the factories are ready to go if needed. Launching of the Chinese Luhu Survey craft named Ming, was the highlight for the year.  China signed the 1967 Solar System agreement, considering the outcome of the space engagement at Mars in March.


2021

Gauss improvements and completion of the 1st Mobile Infantry Battalion, at this stage the China has the largest Ground Force. September saw the launch of a 10,000 ton Commerical Shipyard, this is for future mining operations in some selected asteriods however the need for around 30000 ton capacity is needed, with expansion underway this goal is for 2025.

CRESCENT STAR UNION

2019

Population    800m                    Factories       0          Research     25
Wealth         16K                        Mines          30          Finance       20           Maintenance         21

Very Early on in the year the CSu developed both a missile and missile firing platform, gains in reactor efficiency also highlighted the research field/ Launching of the Habib, a Hufuf class Survey craft, was a suprise to the other factions. nobody expected the CSU to be the second faction into space, considering there limited research and production capability. The habib maiden voyage surveyed Venus and offloaded two geologist teams. It then at possble Imperium wrath, dropped the teams in mars and its moons for surveying, however the Imperium was quiet on this front.

2020

Asteroids became the focus point for survey missions, after all the inner planets were orbital surveyed.  The CSU signed the 1967 Solar System agreement, considering the outcome of the space engagement at Mars.

2021

This was a big year for the CSU. The continuation of missile development progressed with large warhead capability. A prototype was never developed due to the current treaty. Another boon for the CSU was the development of the Pebble Bed Reactor. CSU could also now produce a 4000 ton space vehicle, this would be the right size for a corvette and leap frog the CSU to the forefront of Military development. With missile design they expect to be able to engage the missiles or fighters at a range of 7.5 million kms. This firepower was enough to destroy the current fighter from the Imperium and OPAB. Retooling for this began at the end of the year.

The CSU launched a Commercial shipyard on the exact same day as the Chinese, once again proving that their leadership and science teams were on the objective for all the current events.

IMPERIUM

2019

Population   1671m                   Factories     40          Research     40
Wealth         33K                        Mines          40          Finance       20           Maintenance         25

The Imperium Udaloy fighter entered production. The Imperial Court believe if it could defend Mars with a space force then the claim would then proceed. OPAB seemed to be the only faction with space fighters available to challenge the Imperium. Boat Bay and hangar facility became a research priority as a Fighter Base on Earth was need to house these fighters. Development of High Density Duranium came after the construction of the fighter class, but would help in the next revolution of fighters.
Survey missions for the Imperium directly aimed at Planets and Moons became the priority this year.
As September came the Imperium agreed to a summit the 1st of March, by February 4 fighter should be complete, the OPAB fighter seemed slow, the Imperium were sure that their technology was ahead of OPAB and would face its 5 fighters and win the battle therefore going to the Summit with an ability to veto the proposal.
Production saw the construction of a research lab, and research fields yield effort into a Pacticle beam, with new improved fire control rating.

2020

Feburary 20th the Imperium announced that there is now a no fly zone over Mars. All faction scientist are to remove themselves from Mars straight away. The Imperium declares Mars and it moons apart of the its territory. The CSU diplomat stall for time knowing the March convention is coming up and explains it take a month or two to get their teams out. The Imperium is ok with this as it still shows that the CSU is showing that Mars is their sovereign territory. OPAB send it's fighter wing to Mars and calls the Imperiums bluff. The Imperium send 3 Udaloy fighter to engage, the 4 fighter was delayed it would not been ready till the 6th of March, but they are confident that they have superior speed and firepower.

See Appendix 1.

The Imperium has no choice but to ratify the 1967 treaty.

2021

The Imperium displayed the new Light Armour and Small Arms of its Mobile infantry unit, at an arms convention, but kept under wraps the main drive into Electronic Warfare and Thermal Reduction in Engine Signature technology. The completion of the new Fighter base at Bordeaux, allowed the 16 craft of Squadron Zapper to be housed it will be a fully compliment of 20 fighters once they are complete.

NEW PAPAL STATES

2019

Population   747m                     Factories     40          Research     40
Wealth         18K                        Mines          16          Finance       20           Maintenance         23

The NPS made improvements in Research Rate, Thermal Sensors, Small Engineering Sections and Gauss technology. It also activated a Espionage team into the Imperium to repay the favour the Imperium tried on it. The Academy was expanded to help provide better scientist as they still had poor quality in a number of fields.

2020

Successfully stealing the Minimum Power of x0.4 from the Imperium was not quite what they hoped, so the team was sent in again however this time it was captured and locked away. The Imperium was keeping quiet probably still from it losses the previous month. A new Mobile infantry Unit rolled down the streets of rome displaying to the world the Vactican could protects its own. But finally the launch of the two Broadsword Survey craft, Arce and Monsanto allowed the NPS to join the space race like everyone else prior.

2021

not  a lot happened for the NPS except the research in to the new Pebble Bed reactor and additional sensor technology. The NPS did not want to be left behind again and was gather as much propulsion technology as possible.


OPAB

2019

Population   1046m                   Factories     61          Research     65
Wealth         29K                        Mines          20          Finance       20           Maintenance           5
Ordnance    10                           Fighter          2          Academy       1           Ground Facility       1     
1 Mil Shipyard -1000t (4)

Research was the key core to this year for the OPAB, reactor improvements, Fuel Consumption improvements, Boat Bay, starts into missile technology and a workable force fields the thing of science fiction and active prototype but two weak to use in any real scenario. Research into Turret tracking technology also made the christmas list.

Launch of its Essex space bound fighters, it first flight was to orbit mars and come back but a slowing of the engine to a cruise rate rather then maximum to not to give away their true tops speed of 1500km/s courtesy of the High Density Duranium.

OPAB ramped up fighter factory construction and had 40 completed before the end of the year. It also saw the start of the the survey craft it would use to do orbital survey of the solar system.

2020

After the February announcement by the Imperium, OPAB was the only one who could stop this attempt to take a major asset int he Solar system. It also had 5 fighter and the quality of leadership was superb. It had to risk stopping the Imperium. The call was to send out the fighter squadron and hold it position on Mars. The Imperium responded with 3 fighters and an engagement occurred.

See appendix 1

The victory enabled pressure onto the Imperium as it had no current space bound assets to defend itself, however the 3 fighter that returned only 2 were space worthy and even so OPAB had grave doubts in using against the Imperium fighters again not without superior numbers the fighters were scrapped.

More technology yields in Gauss and magazine improvements, active sensor technology, warhead technology , and shield research. But the launch of the two survey craft allowed OPAB to explore the solar system fully.

2021

Mining improvements, Hangar Deck and Salvage ability were the only this on note in 2021. It was a slow year for OPAB with nothing of great note achieved.

APPENDIX 1

The Mars Engagement

Imperial Flight 1 hailed the Solar Protection Flight 1 to leave the system, SPF1 ignored the hail and soon active sensors went active. IF1 wanted to hold at it maximum range of 20k and fire from that distance with superior numbers SPF1 wanted to close to 10K, to make each shot count.

Both Flights over shot their makes and were with 6K of each other when the first salvo of shot fired out. With a head on charge there was no chance for manoeuvre or movement. Within 5 secs laser fire was going everywhere. The mission log reports were feedback to mission controls on Earth. This log has been achieve by combining both logs, much of the combat the fighter firing had not idea of the damage caused.

Code: [Select]
Essex 001 scored a hit on Udaloy 001, destroying the engine.
Essex 002 and 003 missing their targets
Udaloy 001 scoring a hit on Essex 003, destroying the engine
Udaloy 002 scoring a hit on Essex 004, destroying beam fire control, sensors and engineering.
Udaloy 003 scoring a hit on Essex 005, rupturing fuel tank and destroying the engine
Essex 004 scoring a hit on Udaloy 003, destroying engineering and sensors
Essex 005 scoring a hit on Udaloy 003, destroying reactor, engine and laser

A 15 sec lull in combat happened as both side recharged but turned and twisted away from each other. The movment at the end of the lull had moved both set of active fighter out of the 20k range, however Essex 001 destroyed the stationary Udaloy 003.

SPF 1 needed to engage Udaloy 002 the only active fighter, however it was taking time to form up, this allowed Uddaoy 002 to move into the 20k range and try pot shots, unfortunately the Essex BFC could not fire back as it was slightly out of range. Udaloy 001 and Essex 005 both dead in space but within range fired at each other with Essex 005 scoring the hit and destroying Udaloy 001.

Udaloy 002 missed again however the return shot five seconds later clipped the ship shaking it but not passing for damage to the interior. Udaloy 002 missed again. Kaptain 1st Class Leia Demidov, was cold uncaring and unimaginative, so she held to her current position know eventually she would get one of the wounded birds, She would then retreat atleast it would save some face for the Imperal Court. Udaloy 002 hit Essex 002, but the engine kept humming even though it must of hit a few pipes and bolts the crew  of Essex 002 breathed in deeply.

SPF1 now formed up attacked Udaloy 002 which did not react in time to move out of the gap. At 10k Essex 001 disabled  Udaloy 002.

Kaptain 1st Class Demidov knew the battle was over, she decide to abandon ship and be picked up by the OPAB fighters, the only survivor from the Imperium.

Essex 003 and 005 needed to abandoned ship as neither could get a full repair happening.

The Combat lasted from initial shots 1minute and 45 secs and claimed 11 Imperium lives and 8 Opab lives. Numbers and good leadership from Captain Aidan Allen, allowed the victory.
