2nd Giamonios 3134 – Battle Cruiser Sqn #1 discovers the 107 Piscium system. The system contains 4 planets on of which is terrestrial, but with a temperature of -90 and a methane atmosphere, it is unlikely to the alien’s home world. The one of the JPs in this system must lead further towards the alien system. Frigate Sqn #5 is set to reinforce them.
12th Giamonios 3134 – The Grav survey of the Archangelsk system is completed; the system has a total of 4 jump points. Survey work is now refocused in the 107 Piscium system.
20th Giamonios 3134 – A thermal contact is detected in the 107 Piscum system. The contact appears to be from the hostile aliens. Battle Cruiser Sqn moves away from the JP to engage. The contact has a thermal strength of 1200 at a range of 656.4M kms and a bearing of 336 from the JP. The target is assigned the reporting name NISHANK. The CO of BC Sqn #1, Space Marshal Winifred Thomas, decides to close to just inside the maximum range of the Arrow Mk3 missile and launch at a range of 70M km. The detection occurred at 04:42. It will take up to 19hrs to close to firing range. The target appears to be moving at 4347 km/s revising the launch time to 14hrs. At 10:57, the aliens make a strange manoeuvre possibly in an attempt to triangulate the sensor of the Cedar Close an Improved Penyrheol fleet scout with BC Sqn #1. At 11:32, a further 2 alien ships are detected at 656.4 M KM again on a bearing of 336. These ships have a thermal signature of 1200 and are designated as the MYSORE class. Space Marshal Thomas decides that she should be able to defeat the aliens in detail before they can rendezvous. The MYSORE Class also has a speed of 4347 km/s. At 13:17 the NISHANK is determined to have a mass of 13800 tonnes. At 16:37 the 2 missile armed BCs (Ymosodiad Class) open fire and 20 Arrow Mk3’s streak towards their target. At 16:51, the salvo intercepts the target and after 3 missiles are destroyed by point blank PD, the next 12 are sufficient to kill the target. Secondary power and magazine explosions are detected. BC Sqn #1 head to collect the lifepods that escaped the destruction of the enemy ship. The squadron will the head towards the remaining 2 alien ships and engage them. The Cedar Close fires an active drone that will head towards a WP that intersects with the course of the alien ships. 10secs after the destruction of the alien ship the thermal contacts from the other alien ships disappear. The squadron heads towards their last known location. Interesting that the active drone dose not detect them. At 2009, 477 survivors are rescued and interrogated. A second drone arrives at the WP but no ships are detected with 14M km. At 23:34, a new alien class with a thermal signature of 600 is detected at a range of 329.6M km. The new class is designated the GOMATI class.
21st Giamonios 3134 – At 02:34, the alien ship turns away and starts to run. The TG has obviously been detected; unfortunately for the aliens BC Sqn#1 is twice as fast as them. At 04:54 the GPOMATI class is determined to have a mass of 6 900 tonnes. At 13:59, the GOMATI is within range and 10 Arrow Mk3s are launched at it at a range of 70.52 M kms. The alien ship outruns the missiles as they were fired too far out from a receding target. As a result the TG closes to 50M kms. At 15:15 a second salvo of 10 Arrows is launched. At 15:26 the salvo hits the target and the GOMATI is destroyed. It appears that only 5 missiles are required to kill this class. Also 2 large magazine explosions are detected implying that this was some kind of missile ship. The TG heads to recover the life pods and then it will turn back to the JP. Another 147 survivors are recovered. Following the interrogations, the only information that can be determined is that this aggressive race calls itself the Duchy of Garn Singh. Realising that some of the survey ships are heading towards the threat axis that then alien ships have appeared on, BC Sqn#1 changes course and heads towards the outer system to support the survey ships.
24th Giamonios 3134 – A new JP is detected in the 107 Piscium system. The JP is the opposite direction to that the aliens ships that had been detected heading from. This JP will be left alone until the entire system has been explored.
27th Giamonios 3134 – A third JP is discovered in the 107 Piscium system on exactly the same bearing as the destroyed alien ships had been following. As BB Div#3 and Carrier Group #3 have now arrived in the system, BC Sqn #1 is ordered to go and take a look.
28th Giamonios 3134 – At 10:32, BC Sqn#1 enters the JP and appears in the Gliese 87 system emerging through an alien built JP. The system is unremarkable and contains an M-class star and 4 gas giants. This system is not inhabitable either, so BC Sqn #1 send back a report and stands sentry on the JP.
30th Giamonios 3134 – A fourth JP is discovered in the 107 Piscium system. The non-survey elements of 1st (Grav) Survey Sqn are called forward from the Arkhangelsk system to explore the 2 remaining JPs.
