Detailed Frontier Timeline – FY61.081 to FY61.111

  • Background
  • Setting Material

I really struggled this past month in getting the updates out on a daily basis. They came out eventually, but often in bunches instead of one or two a day. As I’m writing this blog post, I’m a week behind on posting. I’ll try to get those caught up soon. As always, you can follow the @StarFrontiers twitter account for the daily updates, this is just a summary from the past month.

This month, the UPF and some of the militias begin to increase their ship rosters, the first Saurian Ark Ship headed toward the Frontier departs, the Gullwind continues its flight from Dramune, and the HSS History’s Hope gets lost once again via a misjump.

Date (FY)Events
61.081Construction of the CMS Swallow complete at the Minotaur (Theseus) shipyards.  The ship begins its maiden voyage to its home system of White Light.
61.082– Construction begins on two assault scouts for Strike Force Meteor at the Streel shipyards (Pale, Truane’s Star).

– The HSS History’s Hope successfully jumps back to the YS02 system completing the YS02-YS03 jump route.  They begin decelerating and plotting the jump back to YS03 to begin the next leg of their journey.
61.083The seventh Saurian ark ship is completed and begins its shakedown cruise.  
61.084Garulus Tylappar discovers Chukkas, a protected and beloved species of Inner Reach (Dramune), in shipping crates marked as “Foodstuffs” he was contracted to deliver to Malco Enterprises on Darkworld Station (Outer Reach, Dramune). (SFKH1)
61.085Worried about being discovered with the new knowledge and unwilling to turn the lovable chukkas over to the Malthar, Garulus takes his ship, the Gullwind, and makes a fast jump to the Cassidine system.
61.086The UPFS Eleanor Moraes completes its shakedown cruise.  With its crew fully assembled, it is tasked with exploring the region beyond Theseus. With over 20 days until the exploration module is complete, the ship will jump to White Light and back to verify that everything is in working order. Calculations begin for a jump to the White Light system.
61.087The CMS Flitter arrives at Clarion Station (White Light). After a final inspection, it is added to the Clarion Royal Marine roster and enters official service.
61.088Initial calculations complete, the UPFS Elanor Moraes begins accelerating for the jump to the White Light system.
61.089After a couple of weeks of discussions the CDC delegates reach an agreement with the new Consolidated Nebula Energy Group to supply resources to the new company’s power plants.
61.090The Gullwind, having not slowed down upon entering the Cassidine system, completes its astrogation calculations and makes the jump to the Madderly’s Star system.  It doesn’t slow down here either.
61.091The CMS Swallow arrives at Clarion Station (White Light). After a final inspection, it is added to the Clarion Royal Marine roster and enters official service.
61.092The HSS History’s Hope successfully returns to the YS03. While the engineers work on the drives, the astrogators begin plotting the jump to the next system, a white dwarf-M star binary 11 ly away.  This will be the longest uncharted jump yet of the trip.
61.093A Flight patrol in the outer Kazak system stumble upon the patrolling sathar cutters.  One of the cutters is destroyed but the other escapes.  One of the Flight assault scouts was also destroyed.
61.094With reports from agents in the Frontier that Strike Force Nova has recently left Truane’s Star to return to Prenglar, the sathar decided to stand down in OFS019 and start preparing for a major push on the Frontier.
61.095The newest Saurian ark ship completes its shakedown cruise and begins loading passengers and supplies for its journey into the unknown.
61.096Having left the remains of Patrol Group Virgo in Truane’s Star, Strike Force Nova arrives back at Morgaine’s World (Prenglar).
61.097– The UPFS Eleanor Moraes arrives safely at Clarion Station (White Light).  After a full checkup of the ship, they begin the jump back to Minotaur (Theseus).

– The surviving sathar cutter in the Kazak system makes the jump back to the OFS019 system.
61.098After double checking the jump calculations, the HSS History’s Hope begins acceleration to jump speed.  Their destination is designated YS05.
61.099After an extensive debrief of the crews, Strike Force Nova stands down for maintenance.  Almost all of the ships enter the PGC SCC at the same time. Several civilian ships are removed from the shipyard to make room, upsetting their owners.
61.100– After completing overhauls on the ship’s engines, the Gullwind departs the Madderly’s Star system for White Light.

– Repairs at the PGC shipyard (Gran Quivera, Prenglar) restore capacity to 95%.
61.101Owners of ships ejected from the PGC shipyards lodge a formal complaint with Starfleet and the Council of Worlds.  However, the UPF charter grants Spacefleet this power during “times of crisis” which the CoW has invoked after receiving the reports of SF Nova and the sathar buildup in OFS019.
61.102Encouraged by their reception by CDC, the Consolidated Nebula Energy Group (Groth, Fromeltar) send delegates to Terledrom (Fromeltar) and Inner Reach (Dramune) to meet with energy suppliers there.
61.103– The HSS History Hope attempts to jump to YS05. Unfortunately, the calculations were off and the ship misjumps to an unknown star system with a small M dwarf instead of the binary system they were aiming for.

– They designate the system YS06 and start working on figuring out where they are at.
61.104The ship bearing the Consolidated Nebula Energy Group delegates headed to Terledrom (Fromeltar) suffers an in-flight explosion, three of the four delegates are killed. No other passengers are injured but the ship is disabled. Rescue ships from Terledrom dispatched immediately.
61.105Repairs of the Triad Starship Construction Center (Cassidine) bring it up to 95% capacity.
61.106Sathar begin what they expect to be a final push on the Sauria system.  A massive fleet, dwarfing anything seen since the attack on Truane’s Star 60+ years ago, leaves the SCC at OFS228 and heads to Tischen via OFS177.
61.107The UPFS Eleanor Moraes arrives back at Minotaur Station (Theseus).  All systems working flawlessly.  The crew takes three days of leave while waiting for the exploration module to be completed.
61.108Investigation of the damaged starliner reveals that the damage was deliberate sabotage and not an accident.  Star Law takes over the investigation.
61.109– The Gullwind departs the White Light system for it’s final destination at Minotaur Station (Theseus)

– After six days of around the clock work, the astrogators on the HSS History’s Hope determine their location.  They overshot their target by nearly 8 light years.  The good news is that this system was to be the next one on their trip.  The bad news is that they have two uncharted jumps back to a known system.
61.110The UPFS Eleanor Moraes’s extended exploration module is complete at the Minotaur starship construction center (Theseus). The ship’s crew docks with the exploration module and pull it into a holding orbit as they begin final preparations for their first jump.
