11th September 3117 – At 1555, Waunoer 002 (Space Captain Garnock de Langham) probes the unexplored JP in the Wolf 359 system and discovers a new JP in the previously discovered DX Canceri system.
20th September 3117 – At 0925, news of the aliens in the Gliese 1 system reaches Daear. BB Div #1(Deputy Space Marshal Neued Evance), Cruiser Sqn #1 (Deputy Space Marshal Druson Nash), Carrier Group #1 (Deputy Space Marshal Isolde Pearce) and FF Sqn #1(Space Captain Cynbal Gullam) are sent to investigate under the overall command of CinC Home Fleet Chief Space Marshal Trahaym Mille. Carrier Group #1 is reinforced by the newly built carrier Penyrheol and its recently completed fighter group.
4th October 3117 – At 2026, BB Div #1, Cruiser Sqn #1 and FF Sqn #1 jump into the Gliese 1 system. The JP is clear, so Carrier Group #1 jumps in. With all of his ships now in the Gliese 1 system, CSM Mille directs them to head in-system.
6th October 3117 At 0550, the previously detected aliens appear on an inbound course at a range of 96M km. The alien ships also have a speed of 10 000 km/s and. All of the fighters are launched with orders to close to weapons range. If the aliens haven’t even attempted to respond by the time the fighters reach weapons range they will be ordered to open fire.

At 0627, the fighters reach a range of 20M km and nothing has been heard in response to the hails of the fleet apart from a bizarre buzzing noise that permeates all comms frequencies. At 0628, the fighters open fire.

The missiles arrive at 0630 and 31 of the alien ships are destroyed. Strangely, none of the ships are observed to stream atmosphere when hit. Rather they stream a viscous liquid. The remaining ship continues to press home against the fleet.
At 0631, Cymru fires 5 Arrows at the remaining alien ship. The missiles hit the target at 0641 and destroy it. The fleet turn towards the 60 000 tonne behemoth they have detected further in system.

7th October 3117 – At 0056, the large alien contact is detected moving towards the fleet. At 1401, a massive alpha strike consisting of Arrows and Bolts is fired at the alien behemoth. The fire sensors on the Roceds cannot lock on due to ECM, so they close on the target. At 1406, the first missiles arrive reducing the behemoth’s shields by a third. Another 20 of the 800 tonne alien ships are released from the behemoth. The CGs and BBs start firing arrows at them. At 1411, the behemoth succumbs to the avalanche of Bolt missiles from the fighters and is destroyed.

The last of the 800 tonne targets is destroyed at 1416. The fleet moves towards the remaining aliens. At 1537, the last of the aliens is destroyed. The aliens don’t leave any normal wreckage behind, rather they leave some sort of biological residue behind. Some of the residue is collected for analysis and the fleet turns for home.
1st November 3117 – Analysis of the residue from the aliens in the Gliese system has been completed. Combined with a detailed study of the behaviour of their behaviour, it is deduced that the aliens are some kind of space dwelling species. There appears to be no way to communicate with them. The 800 tonne creatures appear to be a form of soldier, the 6000 tonne creatures appear to be some form of worker that harvest minerals and the 60000 creature appears to be some kind of brood queen. They are given the reporting names of SOLDIER, WORKER and BEHEMOTH respectively. The press quickly dub the creatures ‘The Star Swarm’.
