22nd August 2129 | | Battle for 41 Arae outpost |
Fade In peeps,
Whether our government has intentionally deceived us, or they did not know themselves, will be investigated further but I will try and relate the truth of what we now know.
Battle for 41 Arae OutpostEarth Fleet 2 arrived the invasion staging point on the 22nd of August, to deal with the 41 Arae threat, it included acomplement of the new Tallboy missiles, which we now know is a Multi Warhead Missile system, designed to saturate the enemies missile defenses, with decoy and real missiles. This idea had been formed by a BrightStar think-tank headed by Cameron Saffer, based on the numerous contact we have had.
Two Alien vessels, or missile platforms, remained in orbit over their colony. On previous encounters, these ships have been know to have an impressive array of missiles. Earth Fleet 2 consisted of EUFS Afghanistan (DDG), EUFS Abyssinia (DDG), EUFS Albania (DDG), EUFS Pius Antorius (DD), EUFS Glasgow (FFG), EUFS Falkland (FFG), EUFS Amarda (CVL).
The Tallboy missiles launched first and were a complete failure, the missile separate very early in its launch and ran out of fuel before reaching it destination. A complete redesign of the missiles electronic system was needed and a fair few software engineers lost their job out of that debacle.
Nevertheless, Earth Fleet 2 continued on it course using the older GSlam 2 missiles, not a single missile was intercepted or fired back in response from the enemy, even if the bases used the missile stocks from its last fight, it had been almost three years since the last assault on these facilities, senior officers were confused but pressed on.
The two enemy vessels were rocked with explosion after explosion before both critically fell apart. It was at this point the veil of the enemy has been revealed.
The enemy we have fear for all this time, is dead. Not dead by our superior technology, dead for a millennium maybe more.
Once Earth Fleet 2, hovered over the Arae planet, they looked down on a dead world with a ruined outpost. The ships we have been fighting are nothing more then AI construct left over to defend these dead planets.
The revenge we been looking for, to avenge our lives lost have vanished. A hollow pit has remained in everyone stomach, as we now found that space is booby trapped. To explore and expand we will have to face these booby traps and defuse them one by one.
Till we Fade
