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

The CAA - Carl Sagan in orbit of Mars: Six hours from interstellar slipspace transit
The CAA Carl Sagan is in orbit of Mars with the 2nd interstellar expeditionary group, this new taskforce will follow the Carl Sagan to the system of Epsilon Eridani and has been authorised to initiate immediate colonisation of the system if it is within the expected parameters. This colonisation will not begin without the Carl Sagans safe transit and confirmation of the systems usefulness, Epsilon Eridani is believed to have a higher than average number of habitable worlds and all efforts are currently planned for the colonisation of the system. This awesome responsibility has been given to Captain Wilmer Rahimi, a former UNSC Captain he is widely regarded as one of the best captains in naval history.
The chatter of the helmsmen and bridge crew permeate throughout the command deck as the final preparations for slipspace entry have begun, the heavy titanium doors of the bridge begin to open as the Marine guards step aside the acting bridge officer yells "Captain on Deck". Captain Rahimi clad in dress uniform enters the bridge climbing the stairs up to the command deck, on the command deck the ships executive officer and science officer were in the middle of a discussion, realising the captain had arrived they stood to attention saluting
"Captain Rahimi, Sir" -Executive Officer Sumaya
"What is the status of the slipspace engine, are we on schedule?" The captain responded after returning the salute.
"Yes sir, all is proceeding as planned and the last personnel have arrived including the new AI" - Executive Officer Sumaya
the command table began to glow as a small avatar of a human man appeared,
"Identification: Gareth, Captain I have already begun integrating with the ship and I will be operational for the planned departure" - AI "Gareth"
"Very good, I am sure you will work well for our mission, continue the preparations we cannot afford to disappoint history"- Captain Rahimi
"Aye aye sir" rings out across the command deck of the bridge
Five hours and Fifty five minutes later 80mkm from Jupiter...
"Prepare for immediate jump... all systems are green and authorisation approved... on your order captain" The executive officer turns towards the captain "Its time, sir".
"Very well" The captain pushes a button on a nearby terminal, "Listen well, our ship and our crew are about to make history, we do not know what we will find but I have faith in each and every one of you to fulfil your role. You are the best of the best and we will complete our mission and meet the responsibility we have to humanity, lets not disappoint them."
Captain Rahimi steps forward "Commence Slipspace transit, engage the translight engine".
orange lights reflect throughout the bridge as the ship begins to shake, thirty seconds later the CAA Carl Sagan disappears from the solar system.
One month later...

Epsilon Eridani System
Slipspace opens up and the Carl Sagan passes through the opening. Gareth Appears on the command table
"Captain, we have arrived"-AI "Gareth"
"At long last, begin immediate long range scans, XO inform Douglass to prepare the expeditionary team, we will have a need for them soon enough" -Captain Rahimi
both Gareth and the XO nod and go off to begin their work. Musing to himself the captain remarks "Finally, Epsilon Eridani the hope of a new age."
The Carl Sagan would set out to begin its work in assessing the system for viability and inform the UEG of their findings, it would take years to fully survey the system but at first glance it appears the system was true to the claims. A new age was on the horizon and the first steps to it had been achieved.
OOC Notes:
This is the start of a new Halo based AAR, I have previously done Halo universe AARs, this one however has a different focus and is set 200 years later, it will be following Halos lore more closely but changes will of course occur. I plan to write the AAR as both a report and also a set of stories which follow the Domus Diaspora, a period of history in the halo universe that was also known as the colonial era, this era of colonisation was the golden age of humanity before the war with the covenant, to be clear there will be threats but the main goal of the AAR will be the rapid expansion and colonisation of the galaxy by humanity, the covenant do exist out in space and the discovery of them could come at any time, just like in the actual halo timeline they will be an existential threat. More information on the scenario and details for how its all setup will be detailed in futures posts within this thread. I hope you enjoyed the short story to set things up and set more specifically the tone and difference between this AAR and my previous Halo ones.
Naval Forces of the UEG
- The State of Humanities Naval Forces -
As of 2362, there exists two distinct branches of the UEGs military arm that control military warships, that is the UNSC and the new Colonial Military Authority. The UNSC is the predominant force, existing for over two hundred years it is tasked with the defense of the state, with a primary focus being on internal threats and peacekeeping, since the end of the interplanetary war the military forces of the UNSC have seen a serious reduction in operational capability as spending is no longer deemed to be important as threats to humanity that require such capability have dissappeared. UNSC forces have been further degraded with the establishment of the CMA, as the UEG reallocated ships and personnel to the new organisation as it set its sights outside of the sol system, this reallocation has introduced an interservice rivalry as the CMA and UNSC fight over the limited budget provided to them.
The Colonial Military authority was created for the sole purpose of defending humanities colonies from all threats and to prepare itself to do so for extrasolar colonies, its budget has increased relative to the UNSC as more resources are provided for the extrasolar colonial mission. Despite the relatively peaceful last two hundred years humanity still deals with internal security threats, disagreements and revolts within the solar system, overpopulation has been a significant factor in the unrest.
Distribution of forces between the two branches in terms of military warships favours the UNSC however its expected more UNSC ships will be reallocated and more ships will be created to meet demand in the future colonies.
Naval Doctrine:
Naval Doctrine has developed at a snails pace, as open warfare has not occured in over two hundred years, the need for military forces has continued to be questioned, as such doctrine has moved on little from the interplanetary war and both the CMA and UNSC use the same basic tactics, that being the belief that to destroy an enemy naval force the most important thing is the mass deployment of missiles in what is known as an alpha strike, after such a deployment carrier based fighters finish the enemy force off while also protecting the friendly force from retribution.
This basic doctrine has not changed however the distribution of forces has, with the CMA coming into existence forces began to be spread out across the colonies and plans drawn up for colonial protection when the new colonies are established in extrasolar territories. The UNSC meanwhile has returned to the Earth-Lunar orbit and is satisified with its role of protecting Earth and the Moon.

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

Ground Forces of the UEG
Colonial Military Authority Army and Marine Corps
The Colonial Military Authority maintains a standing ground force its purpose is the ground defense of colonies, employing over 150,000 Frontline personnel it is the largest force of its type in the solar system. The force is organised into Army Corps for a total of five Army Corps each of these have a personnel strength of over 25,000 dedicated to the protection of a planet and any of its moons. The primary mission for the CMAA is peacekeeping and engaging insurrection forces in former insurrection strong points such as Ganymede, they are however still equipped to engage in large scale conventional warfare.
In addition to the CMA Army, the CMA also maintains a small marine corps who provide security for CMA ships and are important in daily tasks such as security checks and commerce regulation.
United Nations Marine Corps
The UNMC has its roots in the interplanetary war and works closely with the UNSC Navy, its primary role is to defend the Moon and Earth, with a secondary role to respond to insurrection in the colonies, while only 20,000 frontline personnel serve within the branch it has higher training standards and it is equipped specifically for Low gravity environments. The force is organised into Marine Expeditionary Forces, thanks to their smaller size these units are flexible allowing rapid response to new threats.
Ground Doctrine:
The doctrine of both the CMAA and UNMC is rather similar, with organisation of forces based around the former United States Military, these forces focus on the use of combined arms tactics and close coordination with naval assets to ensure victory. the UNMC advocates for quick aggressive assaults, often used by the UEG to crush uprisings, while the CMAA focuses on a defensive posture using its numbers to garrison and maintain general peace and security, CMAA forces rely more heavily on armour while as of 2362 the UNMC has no tank forces due to their maintenance costs and as such conflicting with their primary mission.
