Detailed Frontier Timeline – FY61.234 to FY61.264

  • Background
  • Setting Material

This month sees the conclusion of the Beyond the Frontier series of modules (SFKH2-4) with UPF forces driving out the sathar from the FS30 system which is named Liberty. They also destroy a sathar starship construction center which will cripple the sathar efforts in the Frontier in the coming conflict, the wheels of which are already turning.

Also this month, the HSS History’s Hope makes it back to Frontier space for some much needed maintenance and starts back out to hopefully completely their voyage of discovery and the Saurians begin to set up an initial settlement on Clarion in the White Light system.

The last day of the month sees additional sathar ships arriving at their forward posts in preparation for the coming conflict. Next month with see the sathar forces set in motion and the opening shots of the Second Sathar War. If you want to follow along as events unfold, remember that I post the daily updates on Twitter. These posts are just the monthly summaries. As the battles play out, I’ll be doing posts on the day they occur as I described in my State of the Frontier post a couple of days ago. You can see a sneak peek (if you haven’t already) of these battle posts in the Battle of Stenmar post from a couple of weeks ago. That battle actually occurs on day FY61.281 but I provided it early to get feedback on the format.

Here are the most recent events in the timeline.

Date (FY)Events
61.234– Investigating the wreckage of the ships that attacked the HSS History’s Hope points to the involvement of the Family of One but the evidence is inconclusive.  The ships repair what damage they can and resume preparations for the jump to OFS224.

– On-board preparations complete, the first shuttle loads of materials for their new settlement depart the 7th saurian Ark Ship for the surface of Clarion.

– Within hours of their landing, protesters arrive at the saurian settlement site and attempt to disrupt the operations.  However, the Clarion Royal Constabulary, already on-site to maintain order, quickly gets the situation under control.
61.235The HSS History’s Hope jumps to the OFS224 system on high alert.  However, there is no indication of hostile forces and they begin preparation for the jump to Scree Fron.
61.236– Two destroyers, slated to join Strike Force Meteor, are completed in the Hentz (Araks) shipyards.  They begin a shakedown cruise to Prenglar via the Gruna Garu system.

– Strike Force Nova jumps into the White Light System and begins decelerating toward Clarion.

– The UPF ships under Command Reider in the FS30 system initiate Operation Cracker to attack and draw off the sathar ships from the occupied Mhemne L4 station.

– The ensuing battle of Operation Cracker manages to destroy many the remaining sathar fighters in the system which seemed to have very poor pilots.  The sathar LC and AC retreat to the strong defenses of the planet’s moon.

– Simultaneous with Operation Cracker, the CMS Osprey, UPFS Eleanor Moraes and the two captured sathar shuttles lift off from the surface of Snowball and approach the L4 station. 

– Gaining access to the L4 station, the UPF/Mhemne forces wage a running battle with the sathar forces occupying the station in an attempt to capture it before the sathar can destroy the station and kill the inhabitants.

– Having successfully captured the L4 station, the UPF and Mhemne forces brace for a sathar counterattack.

– Instead of attacking, the sathar abandon their positions on Snowball’s moon, the planet’s surface, and head to the L5 station.  All sathar installations are destroyed by nuclear blast.  Surprisingly, the Mhemne installations and cities are not destroyed.

– After collecting fighters at the L5 station, the remaining ships begin accelerating for a jump out of the system. As they leave L5 station, the sathar ships under construction at the L5 station are destroyed by explosions.

– After waiting to ensure the sathar don’t double back, Commander Reider pursues the sathar vessels as they continue to accelerate.  The sathar send their inexperienced fighters after the UPF ships which are destroyed in the ensuing fight.  The UPF remain safely out of range of the sathar ships’ heavier weapons as they trail them out of the system.

– Sathar SCC#4 (OFS111) completes a frigate
61.237After a week of additional patrols in the FS26 system, PG Meteor begins acceleration for a jump back to the Theseus system.
61.238Due to the scrutiny after the rubies deliver, Obar Enterprises takes some lower profile cargos for the next few runs on their secret jump route between Truane’s Star and Cassidine.  While not as profitable as the last few runs, they still gross 1.365 million credits.
61.239News of the events in the FS30 system leak to the public on Gran Quivera (Prenglar).  The Frontier Peace Organization stage a protest outside the Council of Worlds building demanding a cease of hostilities against the sathar and a stop to Spacefleet expansion.
61.240– The HSS History’s Hope and her remaining escorts jump in the Scree Fron system and begin decelerating to Hakosaur.

– The sathar HC and AC from FS30 jump into the OFS179 system, they maintain their high velocity and begin calculations for a jump to the OFS 168 system.  Commander Reider turns his ships around to return to the inner system.
61.241Responding to the activities of the Frontier Peace Organization, the Anti-Satharian League stage a counter protest demanding even greater Spacefleet and Star Law funding.  The two groups clash and the Port Loren police have to intervene to stop the fighting.
61.242– The commanders of the Strike Force Nova vessels meet with their saurian counterparts.  Over the next 6 days, they host each other on the various ships and stations and trade intelligence on the sathar.

– While most of the information on the sathar flows from the saurians to the UPF, the recent experiences of the Discovery Squadron provide some information to flow the other direction
61.243After months of negotiations, the Consolidated Nebula Energy Group has signed on all the independent power distributors on Groth (Fromeltar) and many distributors on Terledrom (Fromeltar) and Inner Reach (Dramune).  They continue to recruit others and begin sending delegates to other systems as well.
