December 31, 3065 – We launch off Quentin, after taking the last of the mechs Independence made this month.
January 4, 3066 – We arrive back in our space, and our flotilla and troops from Nanking head back there.
What did we get, mech-wise,?
8 Atlas AS7-K
8 Tai-Sho
4 Marauder II 4K
8 Akuma
8 Naginata
8 Gunslinger
8 Victor 9K
8 Hatamato-Chi
8 Shugenja
12 Chimera
12 Tessen
12 Excalibur CS
12 Ninja-To
4 JagerMech
That’s 130 mechs we made from the factory. Now, we purchased them at a 12.5% discount, and we immediately help to pay for them by having the Coalition pick up the bill for a lot of them and move them to various militia we are trying to build up. Meanwhile we move many of these mechs to our garrison.
January 29, 3066 – The four hulks arrive in the Terra System just a few days after Duke Essex does. He meets with local Blake representatives.
They are going to repair the Fredasa, York and Congress WarShips for us, for free-ish. We give them the fourth hulk that was damaged too much, and they can fix it up here in Terra. Their specialists tell me it’ll cost less than the Combine estimated. So they get a WarShip added to their roster. Meanwhile we turn over all of the salvage and pieces and armor and weapons from that battle to help pay for stuff.
We also sell them some of the Mechs we produced at Quentin for market price, and made some of the cash back that way.
Meanwhile, we use that cash to purchase two Assault Triumph DropShips from them. They have been refitting Triumph DropShips here with all due speed. We agreed, a while ago, to be able to buy their DropShips and JumpShips coming off their lines because we had neither.
So, total pluses and minuses were strong.
This was a very good campaign, because we doubled our WarShips, Blake will fix them up (they like having a nearby ally with WarShips) and we gave them one of the hulks for them to use, so they increase their fleet (something they are doing madly.). Plus we sent them some mechs, and gave them a bunch of salvage, worth a lot of money, and including parts of DropShips, fighters, and more. Thousands of tons of the stuff. That helps Blake to defray their costs considerably as well.
Plus, we left a happy Quentin behind. IW thought we were oddly nice in dealing with them, and the planet became very pro-Coalition in it’s feelings, after we helped them in a few ways, while also being very honorable and relaxing with the laws. You never know what kind of benefit that might sow down the road. Either the enhanced relations with IW or with the people of Quentin.
End of the Quentin Campaign
