2297-98
2297.03.17 -- More debris analysis results in more progress on fusion missiles. Meanwhile, as the attack in Spica continues, a few battleships have been detected in the nearby Dalthaana system ...
04.05 -- Ground combat on Paaltor, where there are a few defending armies, begins. On to Salluria, the last of our primary systems to attack, where there is a military station but no ships present. It should be another quick sweep.
04.29 -- Paaltok secured. The Fist of Boojie is already well into it's attack on the spaceport in Salluria.
09.18 -- A couple of far-flung stations in Salluria are delaying matters there. Meanwhile, something new has been discovered while continuing the battle debris work; first minor steps in understanding Devastator Torpedoes. That sounds interesting ...
2298.01.02 -- Extended Combat Algorithms research finished.
02.07 -- Ground combat begins on J'Mideer, a max-size arid planet that is our final target in this war, in Salluria.
02.17 -- J'Mideer has been secured. All that is left is to convince the QSC, which is losing increasingly on both fronts, that further resistance is useless.
From here it's on to Dalthaana for the Fist of Boojie, and after that? Well, whatever it takes.
03.14 -- The fleet jumps into Dalthaana in range of a spaceport, four battleships and a couple other vessels, the military station of course, and a mining station. Definitely a target-rich environment.
03.16 -- Glosch receives word that Dr. Frank Justyce has passed away. His final order will still be accepted in terms of the new direction of Physics, though it will be carried on by another.
03.18 -- More progress on Devastator Torpedoes, and also something called Plasma Accelerators. Don't know what those are.
07.01 -- The battle in Dalthaana, the most epic one in Oncorhynchus's history to date, has come to an end. One battleship was lost and multiple other ships were damaged, but resistance in the system has been obliterated. The Fist of Boojie will hold here for repairs and to give the Qravadox a chance to 'reconsider' their opposition. Aside from numbers, the big difference appeared to be that they were more heavily armored, but had weaker weapons.
It is soon apparent they are not even close to giving up yet. Remind me to never underestimate the potential length of a war.
