Domus Diaspora: A Halo Story - 2362 - C# 2.5.1 - Background/setup

[SpaceMarine (OP)]

Domus Diaspora

                                                                         

Prologue

The year is 2362, for the last two centuries humanity has colonised the solar system under a unified government, now it prepares for a new chapter in its history as fifty years of planning have culminated in the start of what will become known as the Domus Diaspora. The first human vessels prepare to leave the confines of the solar system with the goal being the settling of new worlds in the face of overpopulation across humanities colonies. This effort has been mandated by the Unified Earth Government, and to see this goal succeed it has established two new institutions the Colonial Administration Authority to oversee colonisation, and the newly created Colonial Military Authority which has been given the mission of ensuring the security of these new colonies. The CAA Carl Sagan under command of Captain Wilmer Rahimi is to be the first ship and crew in history to transit to another star system, its goal, locate the first habitable world for colonisation outside of Sol and usher in a new era of expansion and discovery.

The CAA - Carl Sagan in orbit of Mars: Six hours from interstellar slipspace transit

The CAA Carl Sagan is in orbit of Mars with the 2nd interstellar expeditionary group, this new taskforce will follow the Carl Sagan to the system of Epsilon Eridani and has been authorised to initiate immediate colonisation of the system if it is within the expected parameters. This colonisation will not begin without the Carl Sagans safe transit and confirmation of the systems usefulness, Epsilon Eridani is believed to have a higher than average number of habitable worlds and all efforts are currently planned for the colonisation of the system. This awesome responsibility has been given to Captain Wilmer  Rahimi, a former UNSC Captain he is widely regarded as one of the best captains in naval history.

The chatter of the helmsmen and bridge crew permeate throughout the command deck as the final preparations for slipspace entry have begun, the heavy titanium doors of the bridge begin to open as the Marine guards step aside the acting bridge officer yells  "Captain on Deck". Captain Rahimi clad in dress uniform enters the bridge climbing the stairs up to the command deck, on the command deck the ships executive officer and science officer were in the middle of a discussion, realising the captain had arrived they stood to attention saluting

"Captain Rahimi, Sir" -Executive Officer Sumaya

"What is the status of the slipspace engine, are we on schedule?" The captain responded after returning the salute.

"Yes sir, all is proceeding as planned and the last personnel have arrived including the new AI" - Executive Officer Sumaya

 the command table began to glow as a small avatar of a human man appeared,

"Identification: Gareth, Captain I have already begun integrating with the ship and I will be operational for the planned departure" - AI "Gareth"

"Very good, I am sure you will work well for our mission, continue the preparations we cannot afford to disappoint history"- Captain Rahimi

"Aye aye sir" rings out across the command deck of the bridge


Five hours and Fifty five minutes later 80mkm from Jupiter...



"Prepare for immediate jump... all systems are green and authorisation approved... on your order captain" The executive officer turns towards the captain "Its time, sir".

 "Very well" The captain pushes a button on a nearby terminal, "Listen well, our ship and our crew are about to make history, we do not know what we will find but I have faith in each and every one of you to fulfil your role. You are the best of the best and we will complete our mission and meet the responsibility we have to humanity, lets not disappoint them."

Captain Rahimi steps forward "Commence Slipspace transit, engage the translight engine".

orange lights reflect throughout the bridge as the ship begins to shake, thirty seconds later the CAA  Carl Sagan disappears from the solar system.


One month later...

Epsilon Eridani System

Slipspace opens up and the Carl Sagan passes through the opening. Gareth Appears on the command table

"Captain, we have arrived"-AI "Gareth"

"At long last, begin immediate long range scans, XO inform Douglass to prepare the expeditionary team, we will have a need for them soon enough" -Captain Rahimi

both Gareth and the XO nod and go off to begin their work. Musing to himself the captain remarks "Finally, Epsilon Eridani the hope of a new age."

The Carl Sagan would set out to begin its work in assessing the system for viability and inform the UEG of their findings, it would take years to fully survey the system but at first glance it appears the system was true to the claims. A new age was on the horizon and the first steps to it had been achieved.


OOC Notes:

This is the start of a new Halo based AAR, I have previously done Halo universe AARs, this one however has a different focus and is set 200 years later, it will be following Halos lore more closely but changes will of course occur. I plan to write the AAR as both a report and also a set of stories which follow the Domus Diaspora, a period of history in the halo universe that was also known as the colonial era, this era of colonisation was the golden age of humanity before the war with the covenant, to be clear there will be threats but the main goal of the AAR will be the rapid expansion and colonisation of the galaxy by humanity, the covenant do exist out in space and the discovery of them could come at any time, just like in the actual halo timeline they will be an existential threat. More information on the scenario and details for how its all setup will be detailed in futures posts within this thread. I hope you enjoyed the short story to set things up and set more specifically the tone and difference between this AAR and my previous Halo ones.

Campaign Setup

Campagin Information: This is an AAR centered around the colonial era known as Domus Diaspora that in halo lore saw humanity expand to 800 colonies, the UEG in the AAR will contend with multiple threats, from within and without, the covenant, flood and insurrection are all things which will make an appearance once certain requirements are met, however the goal will be the establishment of a large human state which unlike many of my previous games will fight wars, deal with conflicts and more on a much larger scale, while telling a story that wasnt really told in Halo Canon.


Starting Conditions:

• Modified Transnewtonian Start (With a significant increase in RP to ensure lore consistency)
     
  Humanity holds colonies within the solar system already to represent colonisation
     
  Build points were largely ignored to provide enough forces for the factions needs
     
  Ship designs are 1/5th to 1/20th the size of lore halo ships but follow the doctrine and ideas that humanity in halo used
     
  There is a split between two distinctive military factions like in Halo lore, that being the CMA and UNSC, these factions control their own fleets and ground forces
  that are used for different purposes, a rivalry may occur and conflict can arise
     
  Research Rate is 40%, Survey Rate is 25%, Terraforming Rate is 100% - This is to ensure generations of ships and longer term survey operations
  
  1 NPR and no chance to generate other NPRs
  
  Not Known Systems
  
  

Replacement Weapons:

• Spinal Lasers are replaced by MACs - Early MACs are using lasers not particle lances to represent different level of tech
     
  Gauss are replaced by Point Defense guns
     
  Railguns are replaced by coilguns
       
  Missile pods = missile launchers

Inhabited Worlds of the UEG - 2362

Sol System:
Earth (1 billion Pop) - The home-world, economic and cultural centre of the UEG, with primary naval headquarters stationed, all UNSC forces are headquartered out of Earth and it is their duty to protect it.
    Luna(25 million Pop) - Earths only moon, colonised early on in the late 21st century it is home to a large population, it has a long history as a mining colony with its exports making up a significant portion of mineral production across the system
Mars (50 million Pop) - The Second most populated world in the system after earth, it was terraformed a century ago and is the home of the Colonial Military Authority and its academies, it has a significant industrial presence and is considered the gateway to the outer solar system.
Europa (3 million Pop) and Ganymede (2 million Pop - Research outposts both, they have seen the terraforming process applied and are still undergoing it, their primary contribution is scientific study and only small populations reside on the moons.

Note: The population ingame is a fraction of the actual population, this is to ensure internal balance, assume the other fractions are the other sectors of work and as such are not reported in aurora itself.

Naval Forces of the UEG

- The State of Humanities Naval Forces -

As of 2362, there exists two distinct branches of the UEGs military arm that control military warships, that is the UNSC and the new Colonial Military Authority. The UNSC is the predominant force, existing for over two hundred years it is tasked with the defense of the state, with a primary focus being on internal threats and peacekeeping, since the end of the interplanetary war the military forces of the UNSC have seen a serious reduction in operational capability as spending is no longer deemed to be important as threats to humanity that require such capability have dissappeared. UNSC forces have been further degraded with the establishment of the CMA, as the UEG reallocated ships and personnel to the new organisation as it set its sights outside of the sol system, this reallocation has introduced an interservice rivalry as the CMA and UNSC fight over the limited budget provided to them.

The Colonial Military authority was created for the sole purpose of defending humanities colonies from all threats and to prepare itself to do so for extrasolar colonies, its budget has increased relative to the UNSC as more resources are provided for the extrasolar colonial mission. Despite the relatively peaceful last two hundred years humanity still deals with internal security threats, disagreements and revolts within the solar system, overpopulation has been a significant factor in the unrest.

Distribution of forces between the two branches in terms of military warships favours the UNSC however its expected more UNSC ships will be reallocated and more ships will be created to meet demand in the future colonies.


Naval Doctrine:

Naval Doctrine has developed at a snails pace, as open warfare has not occured in over two hundred years, the need for military forces has continued to be questioned, as such doctrine has moved on little from the interplanetary war and both the CMA and UNSC use the same basic tactics, that being the belief that to destroy an enemy naval force the most important thing is the mass deployment of missiles in what is known as an alpha strike, after such a deployment carrier based fighters finish the enemy force off while also protecting the friendly force from retribution.

This basic doctrine has not changed however the distribution of forces has, with the CMA coming into existence forces began to be spread out across the colonies and plans drawn up for colonial protection when the new colonies are established in extrasolar territories. The UNSC meanwhile has returned to the Earth-Lunar orbit and is satisified with its role of protecting Earth and the Moon.

Naval Organisation





Military Ship Designs and Ship Numbers

Listed below are the designs and classifications for all currently operating naval ships, currently no difference exists between the UNSC and CMA when it comes to the military ships they operate. humanity used to operate, destroyers, cruisers and larger vessels however these vessels were scrapped during the 23rd century. 

Classifications

Naval Commercial Forces of the UEG

The Organisation of the Commercial Navy:

The United Earth Government makes use of dozens of support vessels which are allocated to the constituent branches, those being the UNSC, Colonial Military Authority and The Civilian Administration Authority, both the UNSC and CMA make use of tankers, supply ships, stations and colliers who's crews contain civilian crewmen. In recent times the CAA has initiated a construction effort of cargo and colony ships for the planned disapora, remaining capacity is private with the UEG pushing for more private operations in space and in the planned colonisation efforts.

Ground Forces of the UEG

Colonial Military Authority Army and Marine Corps

The Colonial Military Authority maintains a standing ground force its purpose is the ground defense of colonies, employing over 150,000 Frontline personnel it is the largest force of its type in the solar system. The force is organised into Army Corps for a total of five Army Corps each of these have a personnel strength of over 25,000 dedicated to the protection of a planet and any of its moons. The primary mission for the CMAA is peacekeeping and engaging insurrection forces in former insurrection strong points such as Ganymede, they are however still equipped to engage in large scale conventional warfare.

In addition to the CMA Army, the CMA also maintains a small marine corps who provide security for CMA ships  and are important in daily tasks such as security checks and commerce regulation.

United Nations Marine Corps

The UNMC has its roots in the interplanetary war and works closely with the UNSC Navy, its primary role is to defend the Moon and Earth, with a secondary role to respond to insurrection in the colonies, while only 20,000  frontline personnel serve within the branch it has higher training standards  and it is equipped specifically for Low gravity environments. The force is organised into Marine Expeditionary Forces, thanks to their smaller size these units are flexible allowing rapid response to new threats.

Ground Doctrine:

The doctrine of both the CMAA and UNMC is rather similar, with organisation of forces based around the former United States Military, these forces focus on the use of combined arms tactics and close coordination with naval assets to ensure victory. the UNMC advocates for quick aggressive assaults, often used by the UEG to crush uprisings, while the CMAA focuses on a defensive posture using its numbers to garrison and maintain general peace and security, CMAA forces rely more heavily on armour while as of 2362 the UNMC has no tank forces due to their maintenance costs and as such conflicting with their primary mission.





Note: Organisation is based off the US Militarys Force 2030 organisation
