29th January 3118 – Survey Sqn #3 is formed under the command of Space Marshal Treman Walliter and is sent to expand the boundaries of the Celtic Empire.
5th February 3118
Drwysone Hoskins walked out of the research facility and headed for the ground car parking area. This visit seemed to be pretty successful. This had been the weakest performing of the research facilities involved in his armour research programme. He had made the facility director totally aware of how precarious her position was. Any further failures in the testing of the new design of smelting furnace shielding would be result in her being lucky to find work as the designer of home cookers. He smiled to himself as he recalled how shocked she had looked when he had delivered his assessment of both her and the facilities performance. The fact she was his ex-wife made things all the sweeter. As he reached his ground car, the access door swung open smoothly and he climbed into the warm environs of his personal transport. Ogma had been terraformed years ago; however, he was always disappointed in how cold the surface temperature was. Turning the car on, he selected his destination and allowed the autodrive to engage. Settling back in his seat, he lifted the latest research reports form his case and started to read.
Fifteen minutes later, a very confused police trooper was inspecting the mangled remains of a ground car and its occupant. It appeared to have completely missed a corner and driven straight into the side of a cliff at over 100 miles per hour. According to his PDA the vehicle was registered to D Hoskins, a research scientist for the government. This appeared to be a very rare case of autodrive failure. It was unfortunate but not unknown for autodrive systems to go haywire; this Hoskins fellow was doubly unlucky as the failure had occurred at a point that was guaranteed to kill him. Totally engrossed in the scene of destruction in front of him, the trooper failed to notice the ground car that passed behind him. Even if he had, there was no reason to suspect the occupant had been involved in a very sophisticated reprogramming of the autodrive system.
As the second ground car drove away, its occupant open a communications channel and spoke, ‘One to Two, target eliminated.’
5th February 3118 – Scientist Drwysone Hoskins (lead researcher for an armour improvement project) is killed on Ogma in an accident. The project is taken over by Arwel Benjamin.
16th May 3118 – As the size of the Celtic Fleet increases, it is decided to create a 2nd Battle Fleet consisting of BB Div #2, Carrier Group #2, Cruiser Sqns #3 and #4. 2nd Fleet is commanded by the newly promoted Chief Space Marshal Gwilenhin Bebb. The first Battle Fleet will be renamed as Home Fleet.
22nd May 3118 - As a result of the re-organisation, the CinC of Fleet Command Gryphon Isaac, is promoted to the newly created rank of Space Lord.
14th June 3118 – At 0908, a JP is discovered in the Tau Ceti system by Survey Sqn #3 (Space Marshal Margred Wynn).
17th June 3118 – At 0247, a flash of neutrinos heralds the arrival of a Stable Wormhole in the Procyon system. As soon as word of the appearance arrives on Daear, 2nd Fleet is sent to reinforce the defences of the Newydd Cymru colony in the system.

18th June 3118 – At 0808, Waunoer 005 (Space Commander Cadell Lloyd) probes the unexplored JP in the Tau Ceti system and discovers the YZ Ceti system.
22nd July 3118 – Collier Sqn #1 (Space Commander Lacheu Vallant) empty their magazines to create a stockpile of missiles on Newydd Cymru.
27th July 3118 – High King Llewylln resurrects an old tradition when he grants the First Space Lord Gryphon Isaac the title of ‘Defender of Daear’.
11th August 3118 – 1st Assault inf Div (Major General Kendrick Watkiss) is landed on one of the Precursor listening posts in the Sirius system. No robotic defenders are encountered and the base falls in short order.
14th August 3118 – 1st Assault Inf Div (less 4th Assault Inf Bde) is landed on the remaining listening post in the Sirius system and begins an assault on the Precursor facility.
18th August 3118 – The remaining facility is overrun without encountering any resistance. The decision is made to move all of the listening posts to a single site on B-III.
29th January 3118 – Survey Sqn #3 is formed under the command of Space Marshal Treman Walliter and is sent to expand the boundaries of the Celtic Empire.
