« on: January 15, 2011, 03:43:18 PM »14th July 3115 – The TGs arrive at the Sirius JP. BB Div #1 and Cruiser Sqn #1 make a combat assault into the system. Due to a lack of Jump ships the BBs Cymru(Deputy Space Marshal Neued Evance) and Yr Alban(Space Commodore Eyri Iorwerth) were carried through by the BBJ Cymraeg(Space Commodore Morwen Bunyan). The CGs Gweilch(Space Commodore Gavyn Gwatkin) and James Hook(Space Commodore Ffodor Tibbett) were carried through by the CJ Tan(Deputy Space Marshal Drushon Nash). 5 mins after the jump no alien ships are detected and the rest of the fleet jump in. At 12:36, 6 FACs are detected heading inbound. The CGs open fire at 15:43. The CGs fire 5 Arrows at each FAC. The missiles arrive at 15:53 and all 6 FACs are destroyed. Cruiser Sqn #1 moves off the JP and heads towards the 3 remaining enemy warships. At 17:03, another 3 enemy warships are detected (reporting name PRINCE). The CGs continue to close.

15th July 3115 – At 0443, the aliens change formation, assuming that they might have started to fire missiles, the CGs turn back towards the JP. At 0531, 6 size 6 missiles are detected inbound. The CGs go weapons free for point defence and continue to open the range. The CGs are attacked by 23 volleys of missiles in total. The last volley is intercepted well short of the CGs at 12:32. The PRINCE class continue to close whilst the ANTICOSTI (presumably the missile ships) run away.

At 12:53 the CGs fire 10 Arrows at each PRINCE class ship. The missiles hit at 1303 and all of the PRINCE ships are destroyed. The sqn then moves off to chase the ANTICOSTI class ships.
16th July 3115 – At 0003, the CGs are within range and open fire. The missiles run out of endurance short of the targets. The CGs continue to close. At 06:16, the CGs have closed to just over 34 Mkm, so they open fire again. The volley arrives at 0625 and destroys 2 of the enemy ships. The remaining target has 5 further Arrows fired at it. The final ship is destroyed at 06:32. The CGs head back to the JP. The rest of the Task Force returns to Deaer. Survey Sqn #2 returns to the system and links up with the grav survey ships that had fled into deep space. The vector of the alien ships suggest that they were based in the asteroid field that surrounds the system primary. The SC Harlech (Space Commodore Teleri Byther) is sent to have a look around.
20th July 3115 – Harlech finishes scouting the asteroid belt and discovers nothing.
23rd July 3115 – The Gwendi Jone Geology team discovers fresh deposits of Sorium on Daear; the discovery is a complete fluke as the team were in training prior to deploying to one of the moons in system. Now that it appears there may be the opportunity to discover more on the main planets, they are sent to Ogma instead.
26th July 3115 – Despite Harlech’s scouting, the Geo Survey ship Draig Goch 006 (Space Captain Morgana Carrew) detects a small Precursor listening post on Asteroid #55 in the Sirius system. The design of the Conwy class scout is re-evaluated to see if there is anything that could be changed to make the detection of these outpost easier. The class already has the most advanced thermal sensors possible; it appears that there is nothing else that can be done.
28th July 3115 – At 0102, a JP is discovered in the Sirius system. This JP has a new phenomena, a previously constructed alien Jump Gate. The Celts have yet to finish the construction of their first JG. At 0402, another listening post is detected on asteroid #4 in the Sirius system. At 22:32, another JP is detected in the Sirius system.
30th July 3115 – After months of argument, it is decided to land troops on each of the Precursor listening posts and see what can be learnt from capturing them. The 1st Assault Inf Div is loaded aboard the troop ships of the 1st Troop Transport Sqn. Once loaded they will head for the Alpha Centauri system.
1st August 3115 – Survey Sqn #2 arrives at the unknown JP with and alien JG and Waunoer 003 (Space Captain Iola Gwaren)jumps through to discover the Procyon system. The system contains an ideally habitable world. SC Harlech is sent to investigate. The other end of the JP also has an alien JG.
3rd August 3115 – A fifth JP is discovered in the Sirius system by Survey Sqn #2.
4th August 3115 – The Harlech scans the ideal planet in the Procyon system and discovers it is uninhabited.
8th August 3115 – At 0902, Troop Transport Sqn #1 arrives over its first target of Alpha Centauri A-IV. The 1st Assault Inf Bde starts to deploy onto the planet.
13th August 3115 – At 1932, Survey Sqn #2 arrive at the next unexplored JP in the Sirius system and Waunoer 004 is sent through and discovers the Wolf 359 system.
14th August 3115 – At 0232, the last of the 1st Assault Division(Major General Winifred Blayney) arrive on the surface and they commence their assault.
15th August 3115 – At 0230, Survey Sqn #2 arrives at the next explored JP and send Waunoer 003 through to discover Kapteyn’s Star.
17th August 3115 – At 1433, a new Precursor listening post is detected on the planet Sirius B-III. The Precursors appear to have the equivalent of 2 battalions of combat robots on the surface of Alpha Centauri A-IV. In 5 days of fighting they have both been reduced by roughly 50%. In contrast, the Celtic forces have lost very few forces. The troop transport sqn departs to pick up a Garrison Div to free up the Assault troops for further attacks.
20th August 3115 – At 0233, Survey Sqn #2 reaches the last of the unexplored JPs in the Sirius system. Waunoer 004 is sent through and discovers the Luyten 961-1 system.
23rd August 3115 – At 0330, returning home from a squadron party, Space Commander Tangwen Bulkeley is killed in a ground car accident. Prior to his death he had been the CO of Roced F1 045 part of the 5th Fighter Sqn (Fighting Hunters) assigned to the Orbital Fighter Base that was part of Daear’s defences. Another 5 days of fighting on Alpha Centauri A-IV reduces the enemy robots by another 50%.
28th August 3115 – By the end of today the last of the Precursor robots had been destroyed.
29th August 3115 – At 0200, Another JP is discovered in the Sirius system.
4th September 3115 – The 1st Assault Division overruns the Precursor outpost and captures 1 deep space tracking station. Also contained within the outpost are magazines full of Precursor missiles. 89 Caracyn ASMs, 3124 Dervish AMMs and 179 Spiro ASMs. A collier is sent to collect them.

10th September 3115 – At 0503, yet another JP is discovered in the Sirius system by Survey Sqn #2.
11th September 3115 – At 0533, another JP is discovered in the Sirius system by Survey Sqn #2.
14th September 3115 – The gravitational survey of the Sirius system is completed, the system has a total of 8 JPs of which 3 remain to be explored. At 1503, Waunoer 003 transits one of the remaining unexplored JPs and discovers the Giclas 99-49 system.
The system contains an ideal habitable world, so Harlech jumps in and heads in system to investigate.
15th September 3115 – The first Spiro and Dervish missiles are delivered to Daear. Some are broken down and investigated.
17th September 3115 – Harlech investigates the planet and finds it uninhabited.
10th October 3115 – Troop Transport #1 drops the 1st Heavy Assault Div onto Alpha-Centauri A-III Moon 1. The Division began its attack on the listening post immediately.
15th October 3115 – After 5 days of fighting the one Precursor robot battalion is estimated to have taken losses greater than 80%.
18th October 3115 – The robots are overwhelmed by 1st Heavy Assault Div. The Gwendi Jone geology team discovers a deposit of 100 000 tonnes of Tritanium on Ogma.
23rd October 3115 – After occupying the listening post on Alpha-Centauri A-III Moon 1 the Celts discover another stockpile of Precursor missiles.
25th October 3115 – The JG link between Alpha Centauri and Sol is created. A salvage ship is sent to salvage the Precursor wrecks in the system.
12th November 3115 – The first Precursor wreck to be salvaged yields some magnetic confinement fusion drives and, much more importantly, ECM-4 and ECCM-4 systems.
19th November 3115 – The next Precursor wreck yields data on ECCM-2, more engines, ECCM-4, Fire Control and a size 6 missile launcher.
22nd November 3115 – The next wreck yields a magnetic confinement reactor and another ECM-4.
31st November 3115 – The next wreck just yields a magnetic confinement reactor.
12th December 3115 – The first of the Precursor bases in the Alpha Centauri system is salvaged and yield and astonishing 16 magnetic confinement reactors.
19th December 3115 – The final wreck in the Alpha Centauri system is salvaged and 30 Size 1 missile launchers are recovered.
