Geoffrey Alberding smiled once again his team were now legends, most of Brighstar facilities on Earth had been compromised. They knew it but there was nothing that Brightstar security could do. His team just acquired the design for their new asteroid miner vessel. Which he made a point to his superiors, only just started work in the shipyard.

Brigitta was please to get renewed funding and praise from the CEO. The CEO stated that her contribution to Grisson Industries was the jewel in it crown. In a few years she will see the fruits of her labour. Grission planned on producing stealth craft, that would surprise any would be attacker.

“While working on a project in the field of laser technology, Marta Thorsen had sadly died in an accident. There will be a state funeral service this week and unveiling of a statue in her honour in the academy of sciences. She will be remembered.” CEO Katarina Axelsson could not add the real truth. That her body was vaporised while working on Strength 9 beam technology. She was standing in front on the weapon calibrating when the beam discharged prematurely. Unfortunately she was a top weapons expert, probably the finest amongst the colonies, and Grisson had no one to replace her.

“Commander, the SV Seeker is two weeks over due from checking in. The last system they were to review was GJ 1175” reported the duty officer of the day. Anna twisted her mouth into a knot, another missing Science vessel, Brightstar wasn’t having a good track record with these ships. “Send Delta fleet 1 to investigate, but make sure they have Escorts Group 1 in tow“ responded Anna.
2169.10.9, Delta Prime
Samantha Ward was bubbling with excitement, they finally made contact with the alien species. They were not that alien to humans, they looked very similar. This would give the xeno guys something to think about. The reason they had not made contact for so long, was actually quite simple "they were not sure they wanted to". There language patterns were very similar to Russian. The people were called Gwyr and their empire the Gwyr Dominion which was not hard to forget. She needed to get this report to Sophia, Sam couldn’t be happier.
2169.11.4, Hershel 5173, Planet IV
1st Armoured Regiment and 4th Infantry Regiment hit the ground, the landing did not come under fire, so far all was well.
2169.11.15, Hershel 5173, 4th Infantry Regiment HQ
Brigadier General Shura Makarov sat in her atmosphere sealed tent reviewing the lines. So far the enemy had taken a battering. 1st Armour was taking most the credit but her 4th Infantry Regiment was also contributing. Outside her tent was the commnet centre, with 15-20 technicians sending and receiving intel reports. The net was abuzz with activity, more than usual. She walked to the entrance flap and listened in. It seemed 2nd Battalion was taking a battering and some fast moving infantry carriers had broken through the lines, the panic was rising in the tent as they were just behind 2nd Battalion lines. She quickly grabbed her helmet off the rack and slipped it on, the hiss of air followed by a green light showing the suit was functioning.
“Right men grab your rifles and I want a defensive line just below that ridge.” She quickly moved around the compound as soldiers were rushing left and right, to get to their assigned units. No sooner had she made it the low ridge herself before incoming fire were pounding the lines for their right flank. The enemy carriers had a heavy duty pulse cannon and was raking fire across the line. The soldier dispersed to find protected positions. Standing she was instruction troops left and right to pour fire into the vehicles when a Anti Tank missile launched she traced it with her eyes until impact against the now shattered carrier. Another carrier had fired a pulse cannon close to her position when a explosion happened no more than 2 feet in front of her sending her on an arc, slamming her back into the ground. She felt blood trickle from the mouth, as she slow faded out of consciences.
2169.11.25, Gliese 652, SV Searcher
No sooner had the SV entered the system, before their sensors detected a wrecked Arae’s Harbringer. SV Searcher decided it would leave the system and report the wreck back to command. An ideal planet for terraforming was in the system so they could see Brightstar management being interested.
2169.12.7, HD 146835, SV Searcher
The crew of the SV Searcher could sparely believe their eyes. 1 planet that need no terraforming, but had no water on it surface, and 2 possible candidates for terraforming. They need to do a mineral scan but they was possibly a jackpot system. Especially the one planet without a need for terraforming a colony could start right away.
2169.12.13, HD 146835, SV Searcher
SV Seeker only just started the mineral scans when four Arae's vessels appeared on thermals. The crew wasted no time in heading for the jump gate, they had a good lead and hoped they would make it.
2169.12.20, Hershel 5173, 4th Infantry Regiment
Brigadier General Shura Makarov was proud as she marched her troops into the captured colony, the aliens hid, with only a few peeking out their windows. There was a small reception at what she suspected was the town hall steps, where the leader of the aliens and a few other waited. More then likely scared out of there wits for their fate.
Earth preferred to hold them as hostages for now, and let hopes they don’t want to play the resistance role. 1st Division commander Major General Hugo Schweizer would not take kindly to it. Her troops were to secure the colony, 1st Armour and Divisional HQ were heading to Barnwell. The colony was to have a new name, Kirilov after Rear Admiral Kirilov of the Arae 41 war. Some way fitting to have military name to a captured colony.
