Looking back through the last couple of updates, I can see stuff from July to December 2099...
The dates do jump around somewhat between posts as you discuss different areas, so it's not unusual to have been mixed up, it's not particularly important if you miss a details anyway.

I have added the details on Lacaille 8760 to the last update. As it seems I didn't miss anything then I should have everything going forward. Not sure where my notes on the state of things in 2300 ended up by I may just make a 2310 update and not worry about it...current game date is 2306. Unfortunately, as can be seen it mostly logistics going on right now. Major training of forces is the focus of the Navy.

BIC Operations in AD Leonis

A further typical year for Forge's traffic control as BIC supports the development of 4 colonies outward from AD Leonis. FHG IV and VI make Forge orbit on July 26 to add to the Farm and give their crews leave until September 8. During the middle of August the standard dance occurs as the 5th Squadron takes over the Wolf Watch from the 6th Squadron. 6th Squadron departs for Sol on August 28. ICG VI arrives on August 13 and departs on August 27. ICG V arrives on August 17 and departs on September 8. On September 26 both ICG VII and Heavy Lift Group IV make Forge orbit. ICG VIII departs on October 6, while Heavy Lift Group IV departs a week later. Heavy Lift Group II is present at Forge between November 3 and November 16. That same day FHG III and V return to Forge will loaded tanks and crews eager to go ashore. Heavy Lift Group IV returns to Forge on November 25 and departs on December 5. FHG III and V are back harvesting on December 29. Heavy Lift Group III spends the short time between March 29 and April 4 in Forge orbit. FHG XII return to Forge to add to the Farm on April 29 reuming harvesting operations on June 6. ICG VIII makes orbit on May 14 and departs on May 28 starting the longer leg of their journey to Poesidean. ICG VII arrives on May 23 and after shore leave for the crews departs on June 5. During the month of June 5th and 6th Squadrons pass through as they exchange the Wolver Watch Duty, their respective support ships visiting Forge to refuel from the farm. Heavy Lift Group IV makes orbit on June 13 and departs on June 25.


BIC Operations in Alpha Centauri

Faewald's industrial park produces enough lifesupport and housing for 3 million people but experiences several periods where insufficient duranium existed to meet the demand. BIC decides to improve the situation by ensuring that more mines are in operation and to make the attempt to enhance tranfer of heavy equipment from Earth. Eventually due to the slowly growing deficit in what the colony can support and the population they settle on a balance between fabrication tools and heavy mining equipment. More lift is clearly the only solution to the issue, but it also makes it hard to see how they can utilize the industrial capacity of Faewald for development on the Alpha Centauri system when so much of it must be tied up solely to produce life support equipment.

FHG II arrives to expand the Farm and give its crew shore leave on July 22, departs on September 2 and is again harvesting Doineann's sorium September 11. On September 8 ICG II arrives, they depart for Sol on October 1. ICG I arrives on November 2 departing later that month for Sol. FHG X arrives from Doineann on November 21 and is again harvesting on January 4. ICG III arrives on December 13, having transfered the minerals collected by the teleoperated machinery on Banshee to Faewald, the group breaks orbit on January 29 with a substantial amount of processed TN minerals for Earths factories. FHG I arrives to add to the Farm on January 1, the crews are done with shore leave on Febuary 20 and the ships are again harvesting on Febuary 28. The LTR formation is dropped on Febuary 5. ICG I arrives back at Faewald on March 2 and leaves for Sol 3 weeks later on March 24. Heavy Lift Group I arrives on April 13 and breaks orbit on April 28.

The 1st Geosurvey team completes its survey of B IV mood 20 finding the moon has a substantial reserve of Uridium. Though not all bodies in Alpha Centauri have had a surface survey the teams mission is considered complete and the Upton heads for the Sol jump point. It will have to wait there for some two weeks before it can hitch a ride with a jump group. The Upton bids farewell to the jump ship on November 2 heading for Earth and some R&R.

2301 (September 18) The 1st Geosurvey Team has completed its surface-based geological survey of Alpha Centauri-B IV - Moon 20, finding a deposit of 550 564 tons of Uridium (Accessibility 0.8 )


BIC Operations in FL Virginis

Biforst's Industrial park produces enough housing and lifesupport to expaned the colonies capacity by 0.52 m people plus assembles a Tranquility U3 class point defence base near the primary landing field on June 30. FHG VII finishes shore leave on August 2 and is back harvesting the next day. ICG VI arrives on December 12 and departs on December 22 denying its crew a chance to spend Christmas on the colony. FHG VIII's crew arriving on December 23 are more lucky and they spend both the holidays and the time until Febuary 4 off their ships, they are back harvesting on Febuary 5.


BIC Operations in Gl 493.1

The colony on Poesidean continues to grow with its industrial park occupied with making the heavy machinery for a new teleoperated mine. ICG VIII arrives on September 9 and the ships depart for Sol on October 6. FHG XI arrives to refill the Farm on March 14, with the ships breaking orbit on April 22 and harvesting again the next day.


BIC Operations in Gliese 408

The Industrial Park on Arboria produces enough airconditioning and housing for a further 0.53 m new arrivals and then starts production of heavy mining machinery using minerals from Forge's mines.


BIC Operations in Gliese 526

Rosetta's industrial park produces enough new housing and lifesupport for a further 0.36 m people while the terraformers continue their efforts to produce a fully breathable atmosphere. On March 26 FHG IX makes orbit and remains there until May 14 when they break orbit and are again harvesting on May 20. Heavy Lift Group II arrives on April 30 and departs on the same day as FHG IX. ICG VI arrives on May 8 and departs on May 28. Heavy Lift Group II picks up Mercasium, Maintenance Facilities and part of the alien research lab for return to Earth. ICG VI picks up the fighter factory and further reasearch lab components to return to Earth.

Outsystem Survey Operations

Sol

There are still a few unsurveyed comets in Sol and one of them has been steadily approaching the inner system. When it crosses the orbit of Jupiter IS II is sent to conduct a survey of the mineral wealth of the comet. The results are very positive as the comet has sufficient minerals to attract investment in their extraction.

2302 (June 30) Minerals Discovered on Crommelin: Duranium 47 400 (0.9), Corbomite 3855 (0.7), Tritanium 5645 (0.7), Vendarite 5004 (0.8 ), Sorium 12   063 (0.8 ), Uridium 224 (0.9)

Sol/Lalande 21185

Upton hitches a ride back into Sol on November 2, making Earth orbit on November 17. The crew of the Upton completes shore leave on December 28 and escorted by IS I leaves for Lalande 21185. The ships jump through on January 9 and then split. Upton heads for the sole planet arrving there on January 11 and 1st Geosurvey team starts their ground survey. IS I heads for the jump point to AD Leonis arriving there on January 13. The survey ships will use the time for deep astronomical observations as they await the Upton.

AD 2302 (July) to 2302 (December) Catching Breath Part II

The NCN puts the priority on the upgrading of the point defence systems on the forts on Earth, developing the new Churchill Class PDC, which mounts 6 turrets with the classified atmospher penetrating energy weapon system. A new base is under construction near Churchill and the NCN's command node there. The NCN is also concentrating on training missions plus replacing older vessels. The Old Norfolk Naval Yard is being expanded to handle the Fallen Class Light Cruiser.

BIC has established a fairly firm schedule for its various transports:
ICG I, II, III, IV are on the Earth-Faewald route. Currently they carry a mix of heavy mining equipment, fabrication machinery and colonial lifesupport and housing prefabs. The number of colonlists has been cut down to half the transports capacity in most cases.
ICG V is dedicated to the Earth-Arborea route. Currently the standard lift package is a mix of heavy mining equipment, fabrication machinery and colonial housing prefabs and air conditioning plants. The transport is fully loaded.
ICG VI and VII are on the Earth-Biforst run. The exact cargo depends on the current situation at Biforst. To assist in recovery of the alien finds in Rosetta these two ICGs after they drop of the materials for Biforst do a loop out to Rosetta. The total route then ends up: Earth-Forge-Biforst-Rosetta-Biforst-Forge-Earth. The transport is fully loaded.
ICG VIII is on the Earth-Poesidean route. The ships carry heavy equipment fo rmines or fabrication machinery or a combination. The transport is fully loaed with colonists.
Heavy Lift Group I is on the Earth-Faewald route. It carries usually a combination of heavy mining machinery, fabrication tools and colonial lifesupport and housing prefabs. The number of colonists that the transport carries has been reduced to half its capacity. The population transport is lifesupport neutral but the situation on Faewald is still not good with the population rising faster than the local industrial park can accomadate.
Heavy Lift Group II is on the Earth-Rosetta route. There is no real set cargo for this run since the 1st NC Construction Bn has begun to bring the alien machinery back into operation. Primarily the run brings with it population and brings back recovered Alien equipment.
Heavy Lift Group III is on the Earth-Poesidean route. It delivers only populaton to the fledgling colony.
Heavy Lift Group IV in on the Earth-Arboria route. It delivers population and prefabricated housing and air conditioning systems to the growing world.

Due to the short distance between Forge and Arborea the route is: Earth-Arborea-Forge; Forge-Earth. The various ships refuel on the way back at Forge and give their crew shore leave at that point.

This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes

This is an update of the Colossus (EE) class with the most advanced commercial jump drive that can hold the portal open for 3 ships; removing a lot of tedious ferry actions that were necessary before. The ship is larger than the Colossus (EE) and has 2 engines giving it both higher speed and redudancy on long voyages against engine failure. The single engines of the EE class were always viewed with a certain concern as a failure could strand a ship in deep space for several months.

BIC Operations in AD Leonis

This six month period sees Forge's Traffic Control doing its usual job of dealing with ships in orbit for R&R and refueling. FHG IV and VI arrive on September 8, the shore leave ends on October 19 and the next day they are back harvesting at Deeper Sky. Heavy Lift Group II arrives on October 27 and breaks orbit on November 16. FHG III makes orbit on December 7, its crews getting enjoy the holiday off their ships. FHG V slips into orbit on December 23, its crews also able to enjoy the festive seaon off their ships.


BIC Operations in Alpha Centauri

Faewald's industrial park churns out lifesupport and housing for 1.6 m people in these six months without any stopage due to lack of duranium. This is still below demand and Govenor House is again beset with requests to improve the situation. BIC is struggling to get the production above the use so that aborted production will not be an issue in the future and to increase the capacity of the park.

ICG IV arrives on August 21 and departs for Sol on September 19. Taking a break from modifying Calheme's atmosphere to be breathable Interstellar Terraforming Mission III arrives at Faewald on September 7, and departs for Calheme on November 21 arriving on station on December 2 to resume removing Oxygen from the atmsophere. FHG II arrrves on September 15, departs after shoreleave on October 25 and is harvesting again five days later. FHG X arrives on November 26 and its crews are able to enjoy the holidays on Faewald.


BIC Operations in FL Virginis

Biforst's industrial park turns out sufficient housing and lifesupport for 0.4 m colonists, but this is mothballed against future need as the colonies population is still well below what it is capable of sustaining. FHG VII arrives in Biforst orbit on August 4 and completes all leaves on September 19 and is back harvesting at Valhalla on September 21. ICG VII arrives on September 19 departing in late October for Rosetta to pick up alien technology for transfer to Earth.

BIC Operations in Gl 493.1

Poesidean's industrial park, such as it is, continues manufacturing heavy teleoperated mining machinery. Heavy Lift Group III arrives with 50,000 new colonists on September 10 and departs for Forge on September 29.


BIC Operations in Gliese 408

Arboria continues to work on heavy machinery to expand its mines. The Elizabeth I makes orbit to bring the LTR battalion to the colony on July 19 and departs on August 20.


BIC Operations in Gliese 526

Rosetta's industrial park continues to produce housing prefabs manufacturing sufficient for 0.2 m colonists. It is a quiet time otherwise as no ships arrive or depart from the colony. The terraformers are hard at work modifying the atmosphere to be more appropriate for humans.

2302 (July 12) 1st NC Construction Bde has recovered an abandoned Terraforming Installation which is put to immediate use even though it is a considerable stress on the local labour market.
2302 (September 29) 1st NC Construction Bde has recovered 180 points of abandoned infrastructure

Outsystem Survey Operations

Lalande 21185/AD Leonis

The Upton misson continues in Lalande 21185. Relatively quickly the 1st Geosurvey Team confirms that the orbital survey was not in error and no TN minerals can be found on the system's sole planet. After spending an extra week to ensure this is so the Upton heads for the Jump Point to AD Leonis. The George Vancouver opens a jump portal for her to AD Leonis and then heads back to Sol with the Pathfinder arriving at Earth on October 8. Upton herself makes Forge orbit on September 12 and the next day 1st Geosurvey team starts their ground based survey of the planet while the Upton's crew enjoys the fleshpots of liberty lane.

2302 (September 1) The 1st Geosurvey Team has completed its surface-based geological survey of Lalande 21185-A I
2302 (September 12) 1st Geosurvey Team dropped off on Forge

AD 2303 (January to December) Refits, Refits and YET MORE REFITS

The NCN is focused on updating the primary defence forts at Earth and refitting their existing fleet with the latest technology.

In January Rear Admiral GlippiR Broddison retires as head of the NCN. He was promoted to Lt. Commander in 2263. He served his first years leading the Public affairs office from 2264-68. He was then given command of the FT Amber on the Faewald run with BIC. In 2269 he was promoted to Commander and transfered to BuSurvey and took command of the Amundson class Survey Ship the John Franklin. After one year he transfered to the command the JT Edmonton and commanded her until 2274. From 2274 to 2280 he transfered to Fortress Command and held various commands within it until in 2279 he was promoted to Captain. In 2280 he took command of the Tribal Class Destroyer Alqonquin and then in 2281 was given command of the Frigate Bloodhound as squadron commander until he transfered his flag to the Frigate Beagle from 2284 to 2285. He transfered back to Fortress Command in 2285 and commanded various forts until 2288. That year he took command of BIC and servered as its commanding officer for 2 years. He was promoted to Commadore in 2289. From 2290-2292 he again was in Fortress command and held various CO positions. In 2292 he was promoted to Rear Admiral and became the CO of the Norther Coalition Naval Command. A post that he has held for 11 years. He was instrumental in the FRP, and has tireless worked on modernization of the Navy. He had over his service been in all three branches: BIC, BuSurvey, the NCN. Plus had commanded ships and forts with equal skill. His farewell party was well attended and he spoke to the graduating officer cadet class about the value of all branches of the Navy.

2303 (January 21) Commodore Leon Barlow has been promoted to Rear Admiral, another primarily Fortress command officer as has been typical.
2303 (January 26) Captain Lucas Benson has been promoted to Commodore
2303 (February 3) Commander Eleanor Bradley has been promoted to Captain

In February the first parts of the alien research facitly arrives on Earth and is assembled but operation will not be possible for a few years. It is intended to add the two alien research facilities to the CoE for Energy Weapon Research and the CoE for Missile Developments.

The newest version of the Kingston class with an improved jump engine that can hold the portal open long enough for 3 ships to transit. An oversight in the design process led to the ship being slightly smaller then the Kingston (EE) class and thus creating problems transiting through the Whiskey class consorts currently in use.

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes

The latest NCN military vessel. Catagorized as a light cruiser it is more appropriately considered a Destroyer Leader. It mounts the standard package of 6 Buckler CM launchers plus 2 Goaltender turrets for long and close ranger missile defence. Its offensive power is 4 Arbalist missile launchers coupled with for the first time high power ship killing lasers mounted in bow barbettes. The range of the bow chasers is limited by the targeting system to half its maximium theoretical range. It also mounts for the first time a lower resolution sensor system intended to detect Wolver ships as far as possible from the ship. It still uses the aging fire control systems for missile control as so far the NCN has seen no need to update them.

BIC Operations in AD Leonis

Forge Traffic Control has another busy year. FHG III finishes its shore leave and is back harvesting at Deeper Sky on January 21. ICG V arrives on January 9 and departs for Earth on January 26. ICG VI arrives in Forge orbit on January 26 and departs on Febuary 10. ICG VIII arrives on January 29 and departs for Poesidean on Febuary 10. FHG V, in orbit since last year, loads crews on Febuary 3 and is back harvesting Deeper Sky on the next day. Heavy Lift Group IV arrives on Febuary 18 and departs on March 3 for Earth. The next day Heavy Lift Group III arrives from Poisedean and leaves later for Sol. FHG XII arrives on April 24, completes crew leaves on June 3 and is back harvesting that very day. Heavy Lift Group II makes orbit on May 6 and departs for Rosetta on May 18. ICG VII arrives on September 25 and departs on October 15. ICG VI arrives on September 30 and departs on November 7 for Sol. ICG V arrives after offloading on Arborea on October 18 and departs for Earth on November 1. FHG IV and VI arrives to add to the Farm on October 21, their crews are done with their shore leave on December 1 and the next day the groups are harvesting again. Heavy Lift Group III arrives on November 11 and departs for Poesidean on November 16.

On the miltary side 5th and 6th squadrons again exchange responsibilities for the Wolver watch during the month of March. 6th Squadron is back in Sol on April 13. Troop Transport Mission I makes forge orbit on December 18 for shore leave before heading for Earth.

The 1st Geosurvey team completes their survey of Forge on November 1 and the news is very welcome when it arrives back at Earth. The proven deposits of high availability duranium have increased by more than a factor 7 and three additional TN were found. This makes mining Forge even more economical and makes the colony valuable as more than a central fuel storage facitilty and place for shore leaves. The team spends a week to make sure they haven't missed anything in their anlysis of their results and then heads to Planet III arriving there on November 7. They will again have to use the Upton as an orbiting habitate while they conduct their ground surveys of the univinting rock ball.

2303 (November 1) The 1st Geosurvey Team has completed its surface-based geological survey of Forge
2303 (November 1) A deposit of 9 778 129 tonnes of Sorium (Accessibility 0.1) has been found on Forge
2303 (November 1) A deposit of 7 689 529 tonnes of Vendarite (Accessibility 0.1) has been found on Forge
2303 (November 1) A deposit of 22 838 841 tonnes of Mercassium (Accessibility 0.3) has been found on Forge
2303 (November 1) Additional deposits of Duranium have been found on Forge. The total amount available has increased from 2 010 308 to 15 379 058 tonnes.
2303 (November 7) 1st Geosurvey Team dropped off on AD Leonis-A III

BIC Operations in Alpha Centauri

Faewald's industrial park produces life support and housing for 2 m colonists infrastructure x600 without any interuptions due to lack of duranium, but this number falls below demand. Based on messages sent between Governor House and BIC on Earth the decision is made to halt colonist transfers from Sol and fix the loads of ICG I, II, IV to lifesupport and housing, heavy mining machinery and fabrication machines. ICG III would carry only lifesupport and housing plus heavy mining machinery. Heavy Lift group I would carry two loads of heavy mining machinery and one load of fabrication machines the remaining space would be used by lifesupport and housing. This will ensure that minerals are available and increase the size of the industrial park.

FHG X departs Faewald on January 2 and is back at Doinean on January 8. ICG II arrives on January 26, the ships depart for Earth on Febuary 17. FHG I arrives Faewald orbit on February 12, has crews back from shore leave on March 25 and is back harvesting Doinean on April 4.     Heavy Lift group I arrives on April 7 and breaks orbit heading for Sol on April 18. ICG III arrives on May 22 after picking up the stored minerals on Banshee. The ships of ICG III depart for Sol on June 15 with cargo holds loaded with valuable TN minerals. ICG I arrives on July 25 and departs for Earth on August 14. FHG II arrives at Faewald filling the Farm and dropping its crews off for shore leave, departs for Doinean on December 16 and is harvesting again a week later. FHG X makes Faewald orbit on December 6 and the crews will enjoy the holiday on world this year. Terraforming of Calheme's atmospher to reduce its oxygen level continues.

BIC Operations in FL Virginis

Biforst's Industrial park churns out more lifesupport and housing prefabs for 0.44 m colonists infrastructure x88 eventual use. Demand is lower than supply as the colony has consistantly invested to produce these elements based on the experience from Faewald. It is a rather slow year for Biforst as the ships that usually stop here are now only pausing off loading their cargo and then heading on to Rosetta to pick up Alien technology for transport back to Earth. FHG VIII arrives at Biforst on Febuary 5, recovers the last of the crew on March 18 and is back harvesting on March 20. FHG VII arrives in Biforst orbit on September 22, the crew is finished with shore leave on November 1 and is back harvesting the day after.

BIC Operations in Gl 493.1

Poesidean continues to grow, though it is clearly now lagging behind Arborea for all that it was established earlier. It's industrial park continues to work on the teleoeprated heavy mining machinery needed to expand the mine delivering Duranium and Corrundium to the planet via mass driver. FHG XI arrives on April 9, the ships break orbit on May 18 and are back harvesting on the next day. ICG VIII arrives on September 18 and departs for Forge on October 10.


BIC Operations in Gliese 526

Over the year the industrial park on Rosetta produces enough extra lifesupport and prefabricated housing for 0.26 m people Infastructure x52 which is mothballed against future need. The industrial park is largely of alien manufacture at this point as are a significant portion of the mine machinery. FHG IX arrives in Rosetta orbit on May 24 and on June 30 the ships break orbit arriving on station at the gas giant (planet VI) on July 7. Troop Transport Mission 1 arrives on July 18 with the Brigades LTR Bn and departs on August 25. Heavy Lift Group II arrives on November 2 and departs for Forge fully loaded with alien technology and more of the alien research facilities on November 16.

2303 (April 7) 1st NC Construction Bde has recovered 1x Geological Survey Sensors
2303 (June 20) 1st NC Construction Bde has recovered an abandoned automated mine
2303 (September 15) 1st NC Construction Bde has attempted to recover an alien installation on Rosetta but the installation was beyond repair
2303 (September 29) 1st NC Construction Bde has recovered 19x 90 EP Ion Drives this discovery is an astounding find as the NCC has just begun research into Ion Drives and having 19 examples of a working drive to study will speed up the process.
2303 (November 16) 1st NC Construction Bde has recovered an abandoned automated mine
2303 (November 21) 1st NC Construction Bde has recovered an abandoned Genetic Modification Centre. This discovery is greeted by shock and horror. It is clear by the discovery of this abomination and the terraformers that the aliens had modified the environment of Rosetta plus tinkered with the lifeforms there. This pretty much ends the constant low level protest about the plans to remove the Methane from the atmosphere once news reaches Earth. A few dire hard environmental groups still continue to protest this action but for most this discovery ends the debate. Interesting enough the summer afterwards the facility is featured in no less than 3 summer blockbuster films.

AD 2304 (January) to (December) Major Step Forward

By this point the NCC is quite happy with the state of things in Sol. Venus and Ganymede have overcrowding issues but they have BIC and BICSol doing their best to relieve the pressure on Venus by using it as the pick up point for extra solar colonization. The sole exception is the runs to Alpha C where the colonists are just moved to Mars. A better solution requires development of orbital infrastructure, the technology for that is in the planning pipeline but will be several years before practical relization is possible. Stockpiles of minearls on Earth in a good state with Gallicite over 10 000 tonnes, Boronide and Venderite are more critical but still the production is inexcess of the demand for both minearls. Corundium use is set to provide the machinery for 5 teleoperated and 10 manned mines per year, which still keeps use under production. The NCCFB is able to keep the farm at Earth at a nominal 10 m litres by purchase from the civillian harvesters at Jupiter coupled with controlled use of the refineries. The outsystem colonies now all have significant stockpiles of fuel in their farms. Minerals are flowing into Earth from Faewald but now also Biforst where the stockpiles are skimmed off on a semi regular basis. Faewald is an issue that simply requires more lift to solve and there are the beginings of discussions on increasing the size of BICs merchant fleet, plus creating more terraformer ships as the Boronide levels are now steadily increasing.

Terraforming of Mars and the Jovan moons is proceeding well. The NCC begins to plan for the production of more terraforming engines for each site.
2304 (April 27) Addition of Nitrogen to the atmosphere of Mars has been halted and the release of oxygen to bring the atmospheric content up to Earth normal (0.2 atm) begins.
2304 (August 25) Addition of Nitrogen to the atmosphere of Ganymede has been halted and the release of oxygen to bring its value up to about half a breathable level begins.

A wonderful astronomical even occurs this year. The comet Machholz passes through the Jovan moons on its way outsystem. The three inhabited moons are thankfully on the other side of jupiter as the comet flashes through the mini-jupiter system and its closest approach is a few million km from the tiny moon of Paxidike. This gives a wonderful chance for the astronomers on Ganymede to acquire detailed pictures of the comet itself.

The NCN under its new leader is also looking at the state of things. The Navy has successfully completed the Frigate Replacement Program leaving it with 4 Squadrons of Heavy Frigates. Two squadrons are tasked with defending Sol and are turn and turn about on the Jump Point to Wolf 359. The two squadron have to work up their formation through training as well. 3rd Squadron is primarily engaged in training manuevers. 4th Squadron's Support Group is on close patrol of the Jump Point to Wolf 359 while the Battlegroup is engaged in formation training. It is clear that the training time for the 4th Squadron will come to and end soon and the ships are currently refit to the most modern standards. Rear Admiral Barlow re-starts the planning for the oft delayed "Operation Ivanhoe" setting the scope of the operation to be a Recon-In-Force. Staff planning begins for the operation and tenative date of summer 2305 is chosen for the start of the operation.

Rear Admiral Barlow faces the administrative issue that the number of officers in the NCN is swelling and the number of command slots is relatively static. He also sets up a new Task Group once the first of the Fallen class light cruisers becomes available. Assigning it to 7th Squadron of Task Group 3.

More high level leaders are promoted expanding the senior officer pool this year:

2304 (February 15) Commander Renato Bottom has been promoted to Captain
2304 (April 27) Commander Olivia Fuller has been promoted to Captain
2304 (February 20) Captain Veronika Zweig has been promoted to Commodore

This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes

This class was hurriedly introduced to correct the design oversight of the EJ class, but with the rapid development of the Ion Drive system was to be equally quickly replaced by a design utilizing ion drives so only a limited number of Kingstons would end up being refit or rebuilt to this class.

This update to the Scout class focuses primarially on updating its electronics package. The more efficient engines increase its range from 38.5 b km to 45.5 b km, and improved armour reduces the ships mass increasing its maximum velocity slightly. The ships heart and sould remains the phased array it uses to sniff out electronic emmissions.

Spaceframe Renewal Program

One of the foci for this year is the ships of BuSurvey and the Arkangleski Design Bureau is busy scrapping and rebuilding the ships of the Scout class. It finishes the last two of the George Vancouver class so that all the survey command ships are now fully modernized. Modernization of the BIC freighter fleet also proceeds with 3 Colossus class ships modernized and a start on modernizing the Kingstons. One early issue that was found and resulted in the Kingston (U) was that the original (EJ) was to small by a few hundred tonnes to allow passage of the Whiskey consorts. This lead to an adjustment of the deployment with Heavy Lift Group I retaining a Kingston (EE) class and the orginal two Whiskey's but gaining an extra Whiskey from Heavy Lift Group II, where in this case the two ships remaining were sent in to be paid off and then to be rebuilt while a more modern (EJ) class Kingston was assigned to Heavy Lift Group II. The development of Ion Drive technology also puts the long term planning that had been made assuming some few more years till new engines into the garbage. The Program managers have to adjust to meet the changing circumstances and then smooth out the plan afterwards.

BIC Operations in AD Leonis

Forge Traffic Control sees no drop in traffic this year. FHG III arrives on January 21 in Forge orbit, the ships crews finish with Liberty row on March 6 and they are back refining at Deeper Sky that same day. FHG V makes Forge orbit on February 6, and after giving the crews their shore leave is back refining on March 18. Heavy Lift Group IV arrives at Forge on April 10 after offloading new colonists to Arboria and departs for Sol on April 21. FHG XII arrives on April 21, the crews are finished shore leave on May 30 but a beurocratic snafu leaves them in Forge orbit until June 6 when they resume havesting operations. Heavy Lift Group II on the way to Earth with cargo holds stuffed with Alien Technology arrives on April 28 and breaks orbit heading for Earth on May 17. ICG VII returning from Poesidean enters orbit at Forge on May 18 and departs on the final leg of their trip to Earth on June 15. ICG VII arrives outbound from Earth on July 5 and departs for Biforst on July 20. ICG V arrives after having dropped off colonists and colony assets on August 6 departing for Earth on August 25. Heavy lift Group III arrives from Poesidean on October 17 and breaks orbit heading for Earth on November 13. Heavy Lift Group IV enters Forge orbit on November 1 after offloading colonists on Arborea, the Fergus heads for Earth on November 6. On December 4 both FHG IV and VI arrive to add to the farm and give their crews shore leave. Heavy Lift Group II arrives on December 21 from Earth.

On the miltary side Troop Transport Mission I departs Forge on January 5 heading home. In January 6th Squadron is present in system as it relieves 5th Squadron who depart for Sol at the end of the Month. 5th Squadron does its side of this now familier dance during late Novemeber and December.

The 1st Geosurvey Team sucessfully completes its survey of the 3rd body in this star system on Febuary 25 and finds deposits of Tritanium and Corundium that were missed in the orbital survey. This is exceptional news and makes the system more valuable. It also means that a ready supply of all minerals necessary for colony expansion (Duranium, Vendarite, Tritanium, and Corundium) are present in AD Leonis and Gliese 408 making the colony on Arborea more self sufficient once regular freight service (based around the Polestar class) is established. The Upton picks up the team returns to Forge and waits for a passing freighter group to open a jump point for them to transit, in this case Heavy Lift Group IV which delays its transit to Gliese 408 on March 21 to wait on the arrival of the Upton.

2304 (February 25) The 1st Geosurvey Team has completed its surface-based geological survey of AD Leonis-A III
2304 (February 25) A deposit of 116 964 tonnes of Corundium (Accessibility 0.6) has been found on AD Leonis-A III

Faewald's Industrial Park again works the full year with no interuption due to lack fo Duranium and the stockpile is slowly growing. It churns out another 2 million new colonists worth of housing and lifesupport Infrastructure x600 for the growing population but again this is below demand. With the breaktrhough in engine technology it is hoped that the overall number of trips per year will soon increase bringing in more machinery for both the factories and the mines that feed them.

ICG IV makes Faewald orbit on January 6 and set sail for Earth on January 30. FHG X whoes crews had the chance to spend the holidays on shore, breaks orbit on January 15 and is back at Doinean harvesting on January 22. Heavy Lift Group I arrrives on March 23 and departs dead head for Earth on April 10. Interstellar Terraforming mission III takes a break from modifying the atmosphere of Calheme arriving back at Faewald on March 23; the group completes crew R&R on May 17 and is back at Calheme reducing Oxygen content on May 25. FHG I arrives to fill the farm on March 30, completes their crew break on May 12 and is onstation harvesting again on May 17. ICG II arrives from Earth on June 7, the crew finishes liberty on July 2 breaking orbit heading for Sol. ICG III arrives on November 17 at Faewald having swung by Banshee and picked up its stockpiled TN minerals; the group finishes shore leave on December 4 and after loading the substantial amount of non-duranium TN minearls on hand departs Faewald for Earth. FHG II and X arrive on December 21 and two days later ICG I arrives. All these ships crews will be able to spend the holiday seaons with their friendds.

Biforst crosses the 3 million colonist mark this year. Local industries begin to show up but without access to the shipping companies back in Sol it is largely consumed internally. Biforst's industrial park prodcues nearly sufficient lifesupport and housing prefabs for 0.5 m people Infrastructure x96 this value being above the growth of demand so most of it is warehoused against the future. FHG arrives on March 19, finishes with crew leaves on May 5 and is back harvesting on May 7. ICG VI arrives on October 30 and departs on December 10.   This is a very slow year for Biforst Traffic Control.

Poesidean continues to grow steadily at this point with a population over 1 million the dominant force is the interal poplulaton growth and no longer population transfers. Its local industrial park completes the machinery for a tele-operated mine in April and starts working to expand the colonies existing manned mines. The tele-operated mine will be moved to the moon mining site when ICG VIII arrives. Heavy Lift Group III arrives on April 22 with 50 000 new colonists and the Fergus departs for Forge on May 12. FHG XI arrives to fill up the farm on May 13, the rested ships break orbit on June 27 and are back harvesting 2 days later.

Arborea is growing well, now slightly ahead of the population on Poesidean. On March 23 the 1st Geosurvey Team arrives onboard the Upton and they begin the long interupted ground survey of the world. The colonies industrial park completes the heavy machiner for a new mine using minerals from Forge.

Rosetta is growing well with a population over 2 m inhabitants. The colony builds enough housing and life support for 0.28 m people Infrastructure x56 but this is largely warehoused as current population is below the demand. Of vital importance to the colony is that on September 21 the target concentatration of Nitrogen has been achieved and the terraformers switch their efforts to removing the Methane from the atmosphere. This will result in the extinction of most life on the planet but will enable the atmosphere to be reseeded with Oxygen. The protests on Rosetta and Earth are much muted from what was expected due to the fact that most people accept that the Aliens had modified the planet before and it is not a case of despoiling the virgin wilderness. FHG IX arrives in orbit on September 6 filling the farms tanks and sending the crew down for shore leave; the ships break orbit on October 22 and are back harvesting a week later.

AD 2305 (January 1) to (September 9) Pre-OP Ivanhoe

As the new ion drive engines become available the NCC is facing a tough challenge. The refit to the new drives is going to cost a lot of gallacite. The current stockpile is around 13K tonnes and mining of the mineral is in excess of 2000 tonnes per year. Unfortunately most freighters will take 300 tonnes to convert and warships will be higher, plus the number of Falcon Counter Missiles is 5000 in service plus a further 900 Arrow Anti-ship missiles. This means building up a comparable stock of the new missile version will require a significant investment in Gallacite. The NCC cautions that fully refitting the existing ships plus any new builds and building up a stock of modern missiles will have to be done in stages. The priority will be given to ships that either are very new or else are already a part of the SRP. Further complicating the issue is reports that the availablity of Gallicite on Faewald is slowly starting to drop which will reduce the amount of the mineral in the short to mid-term.

The NCN brings the planning for OP Ivanhoe to a successful conclusion. The exact date for the start of the operation shifts during the year but finally settles at September 10. At this point 1st, 2nd and 3rd Squadrons will be available to secure both sides of the Sol-Wolf 359 jump point. Additionally a stockpile of both the Falcon II and Arrow II missiles will be available to arm the 4th Squadron and the second CL will have completed its acceptance trials allowing the 7th Squadron to bolster the defences of the jump point. Commadore Zwieg is happy with the state of readiness of the 4th Squadron and has had ample time to get acquainted with her new command. The decision is made to not delay to refit the ships with ion drives as the ships will still be slow compared to the Wolvers. The NCNs also doesn't see a need for make substantive efforts to ensure as in Hattrick that all ships have completed leaves and are fully fueled as the overall time of the operation is viewed to be less than 3 weeks should all go well. The Publicity over the operation is muted as the mission is a Recon and no one is sure what will be found, the only thing that is known is that clearing the Wolver infestation out of that system would be a huge boost to the exploration and colonization effort. Rear Admiral Barlow obtains approval from the Government in July, but gives a private briefing to the Privy Council where he presents the NCN view that the mission is by definition risky as they don't know enough about Wolver capabilities to make rigourous estimates of outcomes. He stresses that the ships are refitted to the most advanced systems the NCN has, and if they are faced with the same situation that confronted the previous ships of the 4th squadron they will certainly outperform them. The NCN has decided to not commit the Heavy Frigates in support of 4th Squadron as it probes the system as they are considerable more fragile than the destroyers but to retain them at the jump point using them to secure either side to prevent a repeat of the Wolver Incursion. However, as the days approach the start of the operation the large number of unknowns weigh heavily on the senior staff of the NCN. But the prize for success is just too tempting.

This missile like the Falcon II reduced the space allocated to engines to use it for increasing the missiles endurance and slightly improving the avionics package. The speed is considered acceptable for engaging Wolver targets and weapon is matched to the maximum detection range of the current ship borne sensor systems. The extra range can't really be used by ships but the forts on Earth can take advantage of it and Fortress command gets approval for an even longer range missile to be produced. Like the Falcon II this missile represents what the NCN was looking for in the new series of missiles and while clearly there is significant room for improvement when one compares the performance of the Wolver ship killers the Review Board is happy to sign off on the missile based on its test performance.

The Jump Ship Consort to the Fallen class the Altair class is a significant improvement over the Enchanter class in terms of defensive systems as each ship mounts the Buckler Counter Missile tubes standard for the NCN. It is somewhat too underarmed to accompany the Fallen class but will not require that a Gargoyle Escort be assigned to protect them. The ship also has berths and hospital facilities to allow it function as a recovery ship.

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes

The ion drive varient of the Oberon is more than twice as fast as the previous class. This should result in a near factor of 2 reduction in survey times, as the time to move from survey point to survey point defines the total time required. The massive range increase is also welcomed. It will also be the fastest BuSurvey ship currently operated.

Spaceframe Renewal Program

The Colussus class is nearly all modernized but the refits to the IU varient will take some time. The Spaceframe renewel Program recommends the construction of a second large commercial construction facility to enable speedier conversion of the fuel harvesters and terraforming ships as well as expansion of the Litton-Ingalls yard capacity to 3 slips. Once the Colussus class is finished work can begin on the Bauxite class rebuilds. For the military ships several are slotted for scrapping due to their age.

BIC Operations in AD Leonis

Typical for Forge Traffic Control the first 9 months of the year are busy. Heavy Lift Group II, reduced to a single Kingston completes its crew R&R and departs on January 4. FHG IV and VI complete their leave periods on January 16, breaking orbit for Deeper Sky, arriving on the same day. FHG III and V, coincidentally, makes Forge orbit that same day; the group's crew are ashore until Febuary 25 gaining an extra 5 days due to waiting for the ships from FHG III. On Febuary 27 ICG VIII arrives from Earth and departs for Poesidean on March 10. ICG VI arrives on March 24 and departs of Biforst and Rosetta on April 6. Heavy Lift Group arrives in Forge orbit on April 17 on its way to Poesidean departing on April 27. FHG XII makes orbit that same day and its crew is on leave until June 5, the group is back harvesting on June 6. Heavy Lift Group IV makes Forge orbit having landed new colonists and housing on Arboria on May 4 then departs for Earth on June 16. On May 28 ICG V also arrives at Forge having delivered its cargo and new colonists to Arboria, the group departs for Earth at the same time as Heavy Lift Group IV.


BIC Operations in Alpha Centauri

Faewald continues to prosper but the situation with housing is clearly now a case of demand outstripping production. The industrial park works at full capacity and churns out housing and lifesupport for 1.4 m colonists Infrastructure x420 without any issue due to lack of Duranium. The park can produce at most enough for 2.4 m people per year Industrial Production: 1440 , yet growth is estimated at more than that due to the continual increase in the difference between the population and the capacity of the existing housing and life support systems. As the amount of Duranium is slowly growing the mines are keeping up with demand as well. The hope is that when the conversion to ion drives is complete that the significant speed increase of the ICGs will enable the transfer of more machine and fabrication tools to the colony and to get ahead of the gap.

ICG I completes their shore leave and starts the journey for Earth on January 21. FHG X completes their crew leave on January 30, and sets off for Doinean arriving on Febuary 8 to resume harvesting. FHG II completes their leave period on Febuary 5 and is back harvesting on Febuary 14. Heavy Lift Group I reinforced by an extra Whiskey Class freighter arrives with the tools for two more factories and the machinery for two mines plus some housing and lifesupport on April 1, the ships depart for Earth on April 16. FHG I arrives on May 2, spends until June 5 in orbit and is back harvesting on June 11. ICG IV makes Faewald orbit on June 4, and begins the return journey to Earth on June 29.


BIC Operations in FL Virginis

BIC is keeping its eyes on Biforst attempting to ensure that a repeat of the Faewald situation does not occur. Its industrial park fabricates more housing and lifesupport for its stockpile, enough for 0.32 m people Infrastructure x64. It is a fairly quiet time for the traffic control with only FHG VIII arriving in Biforst orbit on May 3, remaining there after tranfering fuel to the farm until June 16 and is back at Valhalla harvesting the next day. On August 5 ICG VII arrives from Sol.


BIC Operations in Gl 493.1

Poesidean is also growing, with its self growth of around 180 000 people per year exceeding the 80 000 immigrating from Sol. The colonies small industrial park is working on heavy machinery for new mines still. FHG XI arrives on June 18 and departs after R&R on July 25, resuming harvesting on July 27. The colony is doing well, only the long transit time and the lack of lift hampering its expansion.


BIC Operations in Gliese 408

Arboria is now at 1.7 million inhabitants. Its industrial park produces additional housing and air conditioning fabricating enough for 0.69 million people Infrastructure x20 and then switches to fabrication of heavy mining machinery. On July 12 the 1st Geosurvey team completes their ground survey and has extremely good news for the Govenor, Duranium and Neutronium plus additional Gallicite reserves. These finds remove the real issue to colonizing the planet in the first place and are huge boost to the local economy. The Upton transports the team to the innermost world of Gliese 408 to start the survey of that world. Everyone in the colony is hoping the team finds more resources, but the single find of high availablity duranium is simply wonderful news for the NC.

2305 (July 12) The 1st Geosurvey Team has completed its surface-based geological survey of Arboria
2305 (July 12) A deposit of 24 444 032 tonnes of Duranium (Accessibility 1) has been found on Arboria by the 1st Geosurvey Team
2305 (July 12) A deposit of 6 290 064 tonnes of Neutronium (Accessibility 0.1) has been found on Arboria by the 1st Geosurvey Team
2305 (July 12) Additional deposits of Gallicite have been found on Arboria by the 1st Geosurvey Team. The total amount available has increased from 1 9430 460 to 42 719 296 tonnes.
2305 (July 17) 1st Geosurvey Team dropped off on Gliese 408-A I


BIC Operations in Gliese 526

Rosetta is moving towards full habitibility as the amount of Methane in the atmosphere slowly falls. The local industrial park churns out housing prefabs and lifesupport for 0.18 million Infrastructure x36, but likely in under a decade this will be unnecessary and will be available to be transported elsewhere. Heavy Lift Group II arrives with 54 000 immigrants on June 16 and on June 29 picks up as much alien technology as its very limited holds allows departing for Sol via Forge. The recovery operations of the 1s NC Construction Bde are in full swing.

Yes...sorry I am writting up OP Ivanhoe, but it took a while to sort out the messed up combat damage logs. I will do my best to get OP Ivanhoe (which is likely to be 3 parts due to post length restrictions) and the starfire turn by friday.

Messed up damage logs... now I'm really interested to see just what sort of trouble the NC of gotten themselves into.

Paul M · « **Reply #310 on:** July 30, 2015, 02:16:11 AM »

Well I managed part 1 and the bulk of the starfire turn by now, hopefully can get the rest. Looking at the loadouts they have to be wrong I suspect the ships had full loadouts of Arrow II's intiially but the Quiver's had only Arrow's for reloads. I may add in some pictures when I'm done with all parts. Also some minor details may change as I do the other parts but to deal with withdrawl I'll release this version as a draft as it where.

Operation Ivanhoe's start date was fast approaching and the Sol-Wolf 359 Jump Point was getting to be a busy place as the entiretly of TG1 and elements of TG2 and TG3 assembled at the point in Sol where dark matter concentration allowed the opening of a jump point. 1st SQN Battlegroup was on station at WAYPOINT 1, a million km away from the jump point itself. 4th Squadron Support Group is providing close watch on the jump point itself. The Jump Point was circled by some 30 mines and monitored by 2 sensor buoys. On September 7 3rd Squadron Battlegroup arrives fresh from overhaul and the ships split appart into a command element and two detached ships. On September 8, 7th Squadron Battlegroup (-) arrives with 2 light cruisers who take up station opposite the command element of 3rd SQN. Any arriving Wolver ship will now be in heavy laser range of at least one NCN vessel. On September 10, 4th Squadron BG arrives and re-organizes with the support group to form two assault elements each composed of 2 Tribals and a Quiver with an Enchanter class to open the jump point for transit.


September 10 (0800) Sol-Wolf 359 Jump Point

The ships of 4th Squadron manuvered into their pre-jump positions, shields ramping up on the ships.   Cpt. Kubo has detached the Enchanter and Sorcerer to join the split Battlegroup. The command detachment of the Support group (Hippogriff and Wizard) would transit through with ships from 2nd Squadron after the all clear was given. Onboard the Sorcerer and Enchanter the engineers were finishing the final pre-jump checks. At 0803, the spindel's of both jump ships were aligned and dark energy was flowing through the rapidly spining emmitter rods as the universes attempt to prevent a rupture in space time was countered by rotational inertia.

"Squadron, Command. All ships will execute combat transit in 30 seconds." Commadore Zweig sent as the squadron data net sycronized. "Guns, weapon are free."
The count down timer ticked down as the bridge crew completed the last checks on the Cherokee's systems. Before the four ships, reality twisted until two points in space time coincided, a circular hole in space leading to Wolf 359. The computer systems confirmed that the point was stable and the four ships engines fired to bring the assault section through the centre of the opening. Bad things happened to ships that got caught in the interface regions which were glowing with the energy released by the occcasional hydrogen molecule being torn appart showing up on the ships limited science suits. As the four ships passed through the point the jump engine stopped transmitting its focused gravitino beam and the gentlest of braking forces was applied to the spindel to return its revolutions down to standby. All ships were halloed in the space equivelent of St. Elmo's fire as they adjusted to the local space potential, but more critically for the ships gravitational sensors they were also ajusting their relative gravitational potential energy caused by their movement with respect to the galaxy's and the two systems relative positions and gravity wells. Their active sensors were kept off line and their passives were functioning at a much degraded sensititivy.

"Transit complete, star fix updating." "Targeting systems offline." "Thermal Sensors show clear." Commadore Zweig listened to the chorous of voices and status reports as the computer built a picture of the near space of the jump point environ.
"Sensors, give a 30 second ping when the system is stabill."
"Communications, send to Squadron. Rendevous on Cherokee, Formation 1, best time."
"Communications, send to jump ships. Standbye."
"Sensor system online Ma'am. 30 second Ping...active...Now." Active sensors swept space around the Cherokee searching for a gravitational footprint larger than 3000 tonnes out to 16 m km from the ship. "Ma'am no return."
"Communications, send to jump ships. Status: insertion complete. Bring the 2nd squadron accross."

The ships of the 4th Squadron Support Group brought the 2nd Squadron's BG through over the next few minutes as the 4th Squadron reformed and shook itself into a line abreast formation covered by the two trailling combat colliers. Between the 2nd Squadron BG and the 4th Squadron SG 8 ships now guarded the Wolf 359 side of the jump point. 4th Squadron proceeded insystem at half its maximum cruising velocity heading for Way Point 2 deep in the Wolf 359 just outside the orbit of planet VII.


September 13 (2339) DD Cherokee

The buzzing of the cabins communication panel work Commadore Zwieg out of her sleep. "Captain...go." Her eyes were still closed as she brought up the combat lights, having only fumbled the contact twice before her questing finger got it right.
"Thermal Contact Ma'am. Strength is consistant with a Wolver Tone class ship." That was the Wolvers sensor platform.
"No active sensor detected?"
"None, Ma'am. It is near the last known location of the Tone that was blinded though."
"Bring the squadron to action stations. Have helm plot an interception course and bring us up to maximum boost. I'll be there in 5." If it was the same ship, it was blind. Time to find out if the Tone's were some sort of X-ship carrier as was speculated.
"Action stations all ships. Intercept target. Maximium Boost. Aye, Aye Ma'am."
When she arrived on the bridge the ships habitation section was slowing down and she strapped in. "Communications, send to squadron. All ships go active in 30 seconds. All Tribals to launch their pinnaces for SEW."

23:39:11   Contact Update for Tone 003. Thermal Signature Detected! Strength 1800

September 14 (0000) DD Cherokee

'Annnddnow...' Thought Zweig as the range drop. "Active return Captain!" "Tenative ID is Tone 3." That had been the designation given before. The target had no active sensors but had been closing with the Squadron on an interception course.

00:00:41   Hostile Ship Contact! Contact ID: Tone 003    Class ID: Tone    Race ID: Wolvers    TCS 179 Thermal: 1800 (Existing)

The range had dropped to 15 million km, the target was inside the outermost envelope of the new anti-ship missiles.
"Guns, weapon are free. Enage target, Anti-ship missiles, Time-on-target fire."
"Aye Aye Ma'am." A short pause. "Targeting systems unable to lock due to enemy fire confusion effect."
"Understood Guns."

September 14 (0009) DD Cherokee

At the closing speed of nearly 15 000 km/s the range dropped quickly as the two forces converged.
"Hard Lock Ma'am."
"Thank you Guns. Commence bombardment."
"Aye Aye Ma'am." Clearly just waiting for the chance given the duration of the pause between the command's acknowledgement and the start of the faint shuddering caused by the mass drivers accelerating two 15 tonne Arrow II missiles down the launch tracks.
"Birds in Flight. Profile is Green. Boost is Green. Target is Green." The missiles had launched, acquired and were accelerating to their maximium velocity.


September 14 (0012)

The range was now 8.1 million km and the squadron launched their second set of missiles. 16 Arrow II missiles were now inbound on the fast approaching Tone 3.

Septebmber 14 (0017) DD Cherokee

The marker for the first 8 inbound Arrow II missiles merged with the target marker on Zweig's tactical display. The target was under 5 m km from the ships of 4th squadron, she would know in 17 seconds what had happened.
"Spectroscopy! Predominantely Duranium Lines." How many missile had hit was not always clear until later analysis but judging from the line intensity there had been more than one strike on the ships armour belt.
"Good work Guns. Keep it up."
"Thank you Ma'am. Next Salvo in 15 seconds. Launch range will be 4.1 m km."

September 14 (0018)

The next salvo merged with the onrushing Wolver ship to dissapointing results for the observers on board the NCN vessels. The chance to sucessfully maneuver to a range where the target was caught by the expanding plasma shock front formed from the warhead and the missile itself was not high enough that random factors could not sway the results. The first strike had been exceptional and this one was only average.

The range between the NCN BG and the Wolver vessel was now 2.3m km and the four destroyers launched another salvo of 8 anti-ship missiles. 35 seconds later the 3rd salvo intercepted the Tone and luck favors the Wolver with only a single missile managing to manuever sufficiently close to the vessel.

September 14 (0021) DD Cherokee

Commadore Zweig noted the range was now 1.4m km. Accounting for fire confusion the CM fire controls could lock up the Wolver. "Guns, switch the Buckler's to Anti-shippng mode. Full squadron time on target launch."
"Aye aye Ma'am. Falcon's in Anti-shipping mode. We have hardlock all ships. Launching." The ship shudders as the port and starboard defensive launcher salvo 3 missile each. In total 24 Falcon II's boost on an intercept course. Thirty seconds later with the range now at slightly over 1m km the launcher have cycled and a further 24 Falcon II's race downrange at their targer.
"Guns. Hold fire Bucklers."
"Aye Aye Ma'am. Check fire all Bucklers set."
She nodded, counter missiles in anti-shipping mode were extremely inefficient and she didn't want to waste them in case they had to defend against a further Wolver Ship Killer threat. Two salvo's would fulfill her requirement to test the missiles.


September 14 (0022) Tone 3

The Wolver vessel was at 0.9m km from the NCN warship when the last salvo of Arrow II's approached and began their attack runs. This time the ship's luck failed as multiple missile reached detonation range and the plasma penetrated gaps in the ships thick armour belt striking one of its drive system rendering it into slag. Twenty five seconds later the slowed ship was caught by the first of the Falcon II salvos. Thirty seconds after that the second salvo entered terminal attack. Both salvos of Falcon II scored 9 hits apiece on the alien ship. One of the warheads must have been close to section of badly damaged armour as another engine is disabled

On board the Cherokee the sensor operator reports the sudden downshift of the vessels velocity and thermal output to a muted cheer from the bridge crew.
"Guns, Arbalist Anti-ship strike, time-on-target. All ships." The velocity reduction would improve things significantly and stronger warhead could find gaps in the targets armour easier then the smaller counter missiles.
The second reduction brings the targets velocity down signficantly. The range is down to 0.6m km when the destroyers launch.

The Wolver ship is now travelling at 5027 km/s only half of its original velocity when the Arrow II begin their terminal attack maneuvers. Five of the missiles are on target and seconds later the spectroscopic analysis shows mainly armour strikes, any internal damage not affecting the ships performance.

September 14 (0024) DD Cherokee

Commadore Zweig adjusted the zoom level of her display the range was now below 300k km. This was still outside the range of the anti-shipping lasers the London's and Fallen class mounted and well outside her forces Duel Purpose Point Defence arrays maximum range of 30k km. She watched the maneuvering of the Tone and her pinnace screen. 'What was it doing?' it seemed to be vectoring in on the lead pinnace. She recalled the behaviour of at least one of the Wolver ships...it had rammed lifepods and then a crippled Tribal.

"Communications, send to pinnaces. Command, all pinnaces withdraw behind our formation to Waypoint 4."
"Communications, send to squadron. All ships maneuver for rake. Minimum seperation 5000 km. Laser Arrays are free."
"Guns, Helm. Rake attack."

The human ships maneuvered to bring their laser arrays into play. The closing velocity was still nearly 9000 km/s and as they found out the Wolvers ECM was not only potent against missile fire controls but also their laser arrays. The ship's Helmmen struggled to keep the suddenly extremely short ranged laser systems in range, the pinnaces maneuvered away form the Wolver who seemed facinated by them. At times the ships flipped end for end reversing course. But continously deep within the ships the laser chambers of the Goaltenders converted power from the fast reactors into bursts of coherent light that boiled and shattered the target struck by them. Unlike the past the SuperCap's used in the weapon mounts were extremely fast charging and fire was determined only if the targeting system could find a useful solution.

After a minute of fire the Wolver ship was significantly reduced in maximum velocity. Further, one of the laser shots must have done something but even as the Gunnary officer started to say so, the lack of fire confusion let the Snapshot fire controls work as intended and the Wolver was transfixed by multiple light pulses from the NCN ships. The Goaltender arrays were able to hold target locks and the lasers burned through the armor into internal components and thermal shock waves set off as the structuarl material transitioned abruptly from solid to vapour caused further damage. Then it was over as the Wolver ship came appart rupturing into several sections and an expanding field of lesser debries.

AD 2305 (September 10) to (September 15) OPERATION IVANHOE (PART II)

September 14 (0100) Wolf 359

After re-munitioning from the two colliers 4th Squadron resumes course for Waypoint 2, the 4 pinnaces leading the way. All ships remain in active sensor mode, clearly at this point there is little reason to be stealthy. In a remote participation conference with her subordinate commanders Commadore Zweig decides to make use of the lucky close position of the systems outer LaGrange point on the orbit of Planet V to the Way Point the squadron is heading for. This will jump the squadron deep into the inner system, unfortunately essentially on the opposite side of the sun from her target Planet II, a terran world with a near Earth normal atmosphere and several tantalizing debrie fields in orbit. However, the angle of approach will allow her sensors plenty of time to collect information and it may throw off any Wolver response which may be heading outward along her currently projected path.

The speculation that the Tone class may serve as a mother ship to the suspected Wolver X-craft seems to be disproved. It is also clear that the Tone class is a pure sensor platform, and speed boat. The ship also possess a thick armour belt.

September 14 (1623) DD Cherokee

The squadron makes use of the weakness in spacetime to transport themselves to the LaGrange point trailing the gas giant planet IV. They are now approximately 150m km from planet II of the system. After shaking themselves back into their cruise formation the NCN ships set course for planet II.

September 15 (0657) DD Cherokee

"MA'AM! VAMPIRE! MULTIPLE INBOUNDS!" The sensor watch's voice cut across the bridge. At the same time the two tone alarm went off with Bitching Betty's computerized voice following: "ACTION STATIONS! ALL PERSONEL TO ACTION STATIONS!" Commadore Zweig, hit the cancel button and the report she was reading vanished replaced by her tactical overlay.
"Reaction Launch! Quiver and Magazine! Birds in flight."
"Sensors talk to me. Communications, send to squardon. Weapons Free. Standbye for orders."
"Vampires inbound, range is 480k km. Warbook suggests Wolver type M. Estimated 6 contacts."
'Oh schieß frakking Magics.' Commadore Zweig was not pleased as the only effective response was to batten down the hatches and endure the storm. But at least they were seeing them outside of instant attack range.
"Guns, Squadron net all Goaltenders." Time to see if the improvements in the ships DPPAs would pay off.

Barely 5 seconds later the first casualty of the action was Pinnance 007. Six Wolver missiles bracketed the small craft and only shattered wrekage remained after the plasma expanded sufficiently for sensor observation.

"VAMPIRE! MULTIPLE CONTACTS!" As the estimate showed up on Commadore Zweig's display she understood why the operators voice has been so shocked. Too many for a good read the best guess was more than 30 missile in the salvo.
"Guns take the Bucklers off automatic." No sense wasting missiles that would never hit their targets due to the Magic missile high speed that in effect teleported the missiles the last 250k km of their attack run. Still her blood ran cold at the estimate of the number of missiles. That number made a mockery of her ships active close in defences and would overwhlem any one ships passive protetion systems in a few salvos. The real question was how many salvo's could the Wolvers launch and how often?

Pinnace 002 followed her sister into oblvion five seconds later struck by 6 Magics and reduced to an expanding debrie field.

The last of the Early Warning pinnaces is blotted from the battle leaving the destroyers reliant on their internal missile detection sensors and costing them consdirable early warning. Pinnace 008 is hit with the same tremendous overkill 006 was subjected to and is also blotted out of the battle with the ease of a person swatting a buzzing fly. The Wolvers target the Mohican the ship closest to the world they are approaching. It is at the extreme right side of the line abreast formation. Still the ship and her consorts's DPPAs attempt to engage the inbounds to no avial. Six wolver missiles bracket the ship and her magnetic shielding is degraded as coils are shunted into quench due to the counter current induced in her hull mounted superconducting coils.

"Mohican is target! Multiple Strikes! No Shield Penetration."
"Sensors...where is the targeting sensor?" Commadore Zweig could not understand why the attack had not be forwarned by detection of the search sensor being used to localize the target for fire control system.
"No active emmissions detected Ma'am."
"Sensors, Confirm."
"Aye Ma'am. No active emmisons detected." Commadore Zweig shook her head...if they survived this would have to be sorted out...and survival rested on the enemy running out of missiles and only on that. They could not run and they could not fight...they had to just survive. The Tribal was tough but that was a smeg load of inbounds....

"Intercepts!" Two inbound missiles were vapourized by the Haida and Mohican's PDDAs. Both ships suffered loss of magnetic shield strength as coil's quenched, helium vapour trailing the ship as the engineers struggled to bring the coils back up. But this marked the first time a Magic had been intercepted by the human defensive weapons. The trouble was it wasn't going to happen regularily and the effect of occasional intercepts would not matter against the Super Salvo.

September 15 (0658) DD Cherokee

"Damage report from Mohican, one engine off line."
"Communications, Send to Mohican to come to take station at these coordinates immediately."
Commodore Zweig sent a location that tucked the damaged ship in behind the others in the squadron bringing all ships DPPAs into play. The Wolvers switched targets to the Haida and battered her shields into tatters in short order. Then they swapped back to the Mohican and a lucky strike took one of her DPPAs off line even though most of her armour belt remained intact. Missiles continued to sleet in on the NCN warships who try to weave a tight defence with their lasers but the missiles are moving too fast and there are too many of them. The Haida's armour belt takes hits rocking the ship as she has lost her outer layer of defences. Swapping targets costs part of the Cherokee's magnetic shielding as well as the Apache's. The Haida gets hit by several volleys which result in minor internal damage to her engine spaces. The Wolvers fire switches back to the Mohican and two Super Salvos strike the ship one right after the other. Her armour belt is ablated and her structure warps and twists under the relentless pounding as missile after missile detonates near her. The ship starts tumbling and then her spine breaks as she comes appart spewing life pods, bodies and what is left of her battered compartments in a chaotic spiral.

This is a continuation of the previous post due to posting size limits. It is also the last time I'll post up the full nitty gritty details...I don't imagine it is that interesting to anyone to read. I'll get part III out over the weekend and tighten up the story and see what I can dig up for screenshots.

AD 2503 (September 10) to (September 15) OPERATION IVANHOE (PART III)

September 15 (0059) DD Cherokee

In less than ten seconds the Mohican had gone from "damaged" to "destroyed" leaving Commadore Zweig grinding her teeth to contain several expletives. What was maddening was the ships were working exactly as they had been intended to work. The new systems were functioning as designed and had they faced the threat level anticipated: four volleys of 3 missiles, the situation would be something else. No one had imagined the Super Salvo and it was rendering all the carefull planning and development efforts of the NCN null and void. Without an outer engagement envelope the point defences of her ships would be in-effective against a missile density like this even if they worked flawlessly.
"Communications, send to Quiver and Magazine. Launch pinnaces for recovery of the Mohican's life pods. No active emmissions." How they were being targeted she didn't know but the thermal emmisson of the pinnaces was minimal.
She has barely given the order when the Haida's marker started to blink then flashed yellow. Appache's changed to indicate armour damage. Tactical indicated another doubt serving of the Super Salvo had gotten the Haida. The ship had been pounded hard and then its engineering spaces had been ripped appart by multiple shocks. The fractured wreckage now surrounded by a cloud of lifepods. A salvo of 6 missiles ensures Apache's magentic shielding remains down. Then the blood blinking icon of the next Super Salvo flashed into existance on her tactical monitor.

"All Hands Brace for IMPACT! BRACE! BRACE! BRACE!" Cherokee's DPPA's fired on the incoming mass of missiles and stopped none. The ship rocked and twisted as its shielding was stripped away and then plasma hit bare armour. The ship twisted and shuddered as its momentary lost stability as its thrusters were overwhelmed by the ablated hull metal. So many missiles hit that even though it was unlikely some damage got through and both her DPPA's went offline as the armoured turrets were breached as well as connectiong crew areas.

"GUNS! Bucklers Free...launch Falcon's..." It was a desperate move...but no sense going down with missiles on the racks. Possibly if the distances worked out the missiles might engage.

Magazine takes the smaller salvo leaving her magnetic protection still intact and Appache takes the Super Size one. Internal compartments onboard the Apache are turned into twisted wreckage with damage control and rescue teams unable to move due to the chaotic motion of the ship. The next Super Salvo returns to the Cherokee, and though the questing lasers of her consorts bring down one inbound the remaining missiles slam into the ship still most are absorbed by the ships armour.

"Multiple hull breaches!" "Engines offline!"   The Cherokee had weather the first storm but she was a bleeding cripple when the next hit.   The Magazine had lost most of her remaining magnetics at the same time.

The next salov turned the status board red: "Loss of containment!" One of Cherokee's engines overloads and the blast finishes off what was left of her engineering spaces.
"ALL HANDS GET TO THE LIFEPODS." Commadore Zweig voice cuts through all channels using command override.
The Cherokee was coming appart around her as the bridge crew makes it to their lifepod. The engine detotanation had shattered the rear of the ship and one habitation module was drifting away from the main core, the ship twisted and multiple breaches showed her interior to be a tangle of metal and interior fittings.

A smaller volley strikes the Magazine as the Squadron command devolves to Cmdr Skardison on the damaged Apache. The next Super Salvo targets Apache and the ship comes out of the multiple fireballs bleeding fuel and with many compartments open to space and one of her DPPA's destroyed along with an Engine. The Quiver is targetted to start removing her magnetic shielding.    The next Super Salvo slams into the Apache and Cmdr Skardison leads his bridge crew to the lifepods as detonation after detonation takes system after system out with the final straw being a massive explosion deep in the Apache's still full magazine that rips the ship appart leaving it as an wreched engine room and the tumbling mission section. The two Colliers are all that remain. Their pinnaces have sorted out the situation and are on course to recover all lifepods. Quiver is hit by the smaller salvo of six missiles and looses more of her shielding.

Again six missiles hit Quiver and her magnetic protection is lost while the Super Salvo hits the Magazine opening compartments to space and taking out two engines. Five seconds later the missiles repeat. Quivers armour belt takes minor damage while the Magazine takes multiple strikes to her engineering space and two more engines go offline one of which explodes but the damage is absorbed by the other engines without going offline. Lt. Cmdr Jachmann can barely find time to communicate with Lt. Cmdr Schulmberger on the Quiver as she tries to coordinate damge control.

September 15 (0700) Wolf 359

Quiver is the only ship capable of engaging the inbounds by now. Magazine is egulfed in fireballs, one of which reduces the ships bridge to rubble and the crew to vapour. The Magazine's crew scramble for life pods as pinnace 16 recovers 92 survivors from the Mohican. Lt. Cmdr. Schlumberger gets fifteen seconds to try and get some systems back on line before the next Super Salvo strikes his ship and tracking is showing him 3 more on the way. His DPPA stops a missile in the first one and most of their fury is expended on his ships armour belt. The next one strikes and the Quiver is slowed as her interior spaces are wrecked. At the same time pinnace 15 recoveres 91 surivors plus Commadore Zweig from the wreck of the Cherokee. Lt. Cmdr Schlumberger is killed in the next strike as the bridge wall explodes inward from thermal shock the spalls slice most of the bridge crew into chunks or ribbons of flesh. The next salvo finishes off the by now limping ship, her surviving crew escaping into life pods.

September 15 (0701-0705) Wolf 359

The two pinnaces are busy recovering the lifepods of the suriviving crew. It overloads the life support capacity of the two small craft but the journey back to the waiting jump ships won't be that long and they don't want to leave anyone behind.

Their rescue mission accomplished the two pinnaces set course for the LaGrange point to reverse the jump to the outer system and then head for the waiting ships at the Jump Point. They had been on course for some 6 minutes with no active emmissons when first Pinnace 016 was struck and crippled by a volley of 6 magic missiles that caught the small flight crew totally unaware. The crew abandoned the wrecked small craft. Nearly a minute later the Super Salvo struck Pinnace 015...surely anyones definition of overkill blotting it from the universe along with most of the rescued survivors.

September 15 (0715) JS Wizard [Wolf 359-Sol Jump Point]

Cpt. Bart Kubo slammed his hand on his armrest. "Communications, Send to Enchanter. We are jumping to Sol to contact high comand. You have command." "Helm, transit course Sol." "Engineering, Spindle the drive." So far as he could tell what he had watched unfold in the tactical tank should have been impossible. At no time in the engagement had a single active sensor been detected.

September 15 (0745)   JS Wizard [Wolf 359-Sol Jump Point]

Cpt. Bart Kubo looked at the flight crew infront of him, all his ships pinnace crew had volunteered for a single shot at recovering any survivors from the wrecked pinnaces. "We have authorization for a single attempt. You go in sensors down, pick up what you can and then out. Quick and quiet." "Sir do we go in slow?" Kubo, tapped his desk, "Honestly maybe going in slow is the best idea but the emmisons from your engines are shrouded." He shakes his head, "Naval command said go it fast...less time to be noticed." "Aye Aye Sir." "God Speed all of you."

It takes less time for the faster pinnace to travel the distances and on the Wizard Cpt. Kubo is present when the volunteer crew is anihilated by a Super Salvo. Though the crews offer to try one more time going in slow he won't authorize another attempt. The Wolvers should not have been able to detect that pinnaces engine emmissions and how slow would they have to go to be safe? The NCN had lost enough people.

The NCN ships remained at the Jump Point until the life support on the lifepods was exhausted and then jumped home.

OPERATION IVANHOE is declared officially over at 04:31 on October 4, 2305. The NCN had learned much from the operation but had paid for that intellegence with the loss of over 1200 crew and 6 of its most modern and largest warships.

Well that was a pretty brutal end to a very long build up. Those large waves of size 1 missiles are pretty hard to deal with and certainly pretty frustrating when it comes to knocking one of them out. Very odd that you didn't pick up the sensor emissions, I wonder if it was an issue with jumping straight into detection range from the LP.

I guess at least you now know what you will need on the next iteration of vessels to deal with them.
