3062 Continued
Mar 13, 3062 - Duke Essex meets with Chief Foster and Major Zhen to discuss the ongoing unrest in the Federated Commonwealth worlds. It's clear that this will all come to a head. He begins to make military plans, and moves up the timetable to strike at the potential target he has been working with Word of Blake on. Meanwhile they begin to build up battle plans for nearby systems, planets, invasions, defenses, and more. Ammo, extra armor, extra weapons and more are beginning to stockpile. They invest in more defenses, more intelligence, more infantry.
Meanwhile he begins to increase overtures to local governments diplomatically and economically to build better relations. His first overtures to nearby FedCom worlds Ruchbah, Errai, Nanking, Woodstock, Kawich and Zurich are warmly received by some areas.
Archon-Princess Katrina has been quelling minor rebellions, squabbles, and the press in nasty fashion, and there are ripples that can be felt in many places. War is coming.
Apr 1, 3062 – By today, we’ve restored around 12 mechs from battlefield salvage where I had most of the pieces. That includes a Hunchback, Javelin, Enforcer, Goliath, Commando, and so forth. Often we’re missing a CT unit, so we just need to but that, buy the engine and gyro (if unsalvaged) and then rebuild the mech.
Apr 13, 3062 – After beginning continued investment in the Essex Academy begun more than 2 years ago, we have finished expanding it fully. We now have the mechs and ability to have larger classes, and we will create a unit from seniors this year as well.
Apr 15, 3062 – A counter-offensive by St. Ives Compact in the ongoing St.Ives/Capellan war has been very successful over the last few months, although everyone knows it’s just a matter of time.
