Running a little bit late today getting this up due to the long weekend and being completely swamped. This month sees the launch of the exploration project by the Yazira Heritage Foundation in an attempt to plot a route to the start suspected to be Yazira, the yazirian home world. We also see the sathar probing the Frontier, and the Spire Dragons finally reach the summit of Mt. Spire.
Date (FY) | Events |
60.207 | After weeks of debate, an initial charter for the Frontier Expeditionary Force is approved. A young Spacefleet commander, Space Commodore Karl “Rough” Rider (SFKH3), is given command of the operation and assigned the task of building the project. |
60.208 | Three days out from Hargut (Gruna Garu), the UPFS Nexus, Strike Force Nova’s communications ship, detects signals from the direction of the vast expanse that match the profile previously reported. Strike Force Nova aborts the jump to Araks and begins return to Hargut while monitoring the signals. |
60.209 | Discovery Squadron arrives at Faire in the Capella system. It will spend a week here meeting with Rim Coalition representatives to attempt to recruit a few members of The Flight to make the mission a joint UPF-Rim operation. |
60.210 | Assault scouts from the Fromeltar and K’aken-Kar system arrive at Zit-Kit (Kizk-Kar) and begin sweeping the system. |
60.211 | – The CDCSS Nightwind arrives in the Kizk-Kar system with an assault scout escort delivering a shipment of security robots to CDC operations on Zit-Kit. – The CDCSS Nightwind is set upon by the sathar ships and a running battle ensues as the freighter tries to escape and its escort uses its superior maneuverability to fend off the attackers. A distress call goes out and the two militia ships happen to be less than an hour away. – The CDC assault scout, having damaged the sathar destroyer considerably, is destroyed by the sathar vessels just as the militia assault scouts arrive. The militia assault scouts join the battle fresh and defeat both damaged sathar vessels. |
60.212 | Shakedown cruise of the second saurian Ark ship is complete. Refugees begin shuttling up to the ship. |
60.213 | Construction of the first of the TransTravel escort vessels, a Streel Red Thunder class Corvette, begins in the shipyards in Prenglar. |
60.214 | Strike Force Nova arrives back at Hargut (Gruna Garu). Collection and analysis of the signals continue. They seem to be coming from OFS200, and the signal is often masked by emissions from the pulsar at OFS203 making observation difficult. |
60.215 | Construction of a pair of TransTravel Assault Scouts begin at the Triad shipyards |
60.216 | Sathar starship construction center near Fromeltar (SCC#4) completes a light cruiser. |
60.217 | HSS History’s Hope departs Histran (Scree Fron) on the first leg of what will most likely be a multi-year endeavor to attempt to chart a series of jumps to the star that he Yaziria Heritage Foundations now believes to be original yazirian home system. The first step will be an 8 ly jump to the OFS 224 system. |
60.218 | After just over a week of discussion, Discovery Squadron continues on its mission leaving the Capella system and headed toward Osak. While the Rim generally supports the mission, they are hesitant to officially contribute ships for fear of increasing sathar ire if problems arise. |
60.219 | Landing Day celebration held on Hentz (Athor) celebrating the anniversary of the Yazirian Exodus arriving in the Frontier region. |
60.220 | Having identified and isolated the transmissions, Strike Force Nova departs Hargut (Gruna Garu) to head to the Araks system, continuing its tour and looking to attempt to identify the signals in other systems. |
60.221 | With the ending of the winter season on Alcazzar, a CDC freighter, the CDCSS Trucker XIV, departs Triad (Cassidine) with crew and equipment to establish mining compound on Alcazzar (Rhianna) (SF4) |
60.222 | A new cutter is completed at the sathar starship construction center near Zebulon. |
60.223 | Loading complete, the second saurian ark ship departs into interstellar space. |
60.224 | Construction of another corvette for TransTravel begins at the Fromeltar shipyard. |
60.225 | The HSS History’s Hope arrives in the OFS 224 system, successfully plotting the outward segment of the jump. The crew will spend a few days observing the system while the astrogation team calculates the return jump. |
60.226 | A new destroyer is completed at the sathar starship construction center in the Liberty system. |
60.227 | Discovery Squadron arrives is the Osak system, where they will spend a two-day layover before continuing on to Kazak. |
60.228 | Spire Dragons begin their final ascent of Mt. Spire. Over 20 beings, with representatives from all seven major Frontier and Rim species, take part in this final ascent which is expected to take four days to reach the summit. |
60.229 | As Discovery Squadron is about to depart the Osak system, they are joined by two Humma-crewed vessels from Hum (Fockhrik). One is the equivalent of an assault scout, while the other is a small exploration vessel. Having heard of the mission, the humma are more than willing to take the fight to the sathar. |
60.230 | Strike Force Nova arrives at Hentz (Araks). No signals from OFS200 were detected on the inbound leg of the trip. The Strike Force will remain in the system for 14 days searching for signals from the system and conducting drills. |
60.231 | – Repairs at the CDC starship construction center bring capacity up to 75%. – A sudden and serious storm swirls around the summit of Mt. Spire requiring the Spire Dragons expedition to hunker down less than 1000m from the summit to wait out the storm. They dig in but are very exposed near the mountain’s peak |
60.232 | With repairs of the CDC starship construction center well underway and progressing, work on the CDCSS Mystic resumes |
60.233 | – After two days, the storm atop Mt. Spire finally clears. Four expedition members were lost during the storm, their shelters having blown away, presumably carrying them with it. The remaining team makes the final ascent reaching the summit about two hours after noon. – The team reaching the summit consisted of members of all seven Frontier and Rim races, although there was only one Osakar as the other two Osakar that were part of the summit team were lost in the storm. With another storm rapidly approaching, they take pictures and quickly begin their descent. |
60.234 | Construction of an assault scout for Trans Travel begins in the Minotaur (Theseus) shipyards |
60.235 | The CSCSS Trucker XIV arrives at Alcazzar (Rhianna) and begins shuttling crew and equipment to the surface. Cold conditions slow the initial construction while crews wait for slightly warmer weather. |
60.236 | The HSS History’s Hope successfully completes the return jump to the Scree Fron system fully charting the route to that system. They dock at Histran station to resupply and report the jump to the UPF. The proceeds from the jump registration will be used to help fund the mission. |
60.237 | The Spire Dragon summit team makes it safely back to their high-altitude base camp just hours before the new storm hits. |
