Interstellar Wars

2410

The Terran Federation now occupy 26 planets spanning the same three star systems. Also, thanks to treaties with other races, especially their closest allies the Darris Empire, the humans now possess technology on par with that of the Ukra Tak.

The Ukra, however, have set their eyes on expanding into the borders of the Darris Empire as well as the Terran Federation.

2410.7

The Ukra Tak have declared war on the Darris Empire. The Darris are a race set on staying in their system and not interfering with anyone. The Ukra quickly overwhelm the Darris outer defenses and are pushing towards their homeworld.

The Terran Federation, who has a Republican govenment and believes in freedom and civil liberties see the Ukra as being vicious especially for a civilisation claiming to be peaceful.

The Terrans immdiately demand that the Ukra leave Darris territory or else all relations between the Ukra Tak Collective and the Teran Federation will be called off.

2410.9

The Ukra refuse to call off their attack on the Darris and also are so bold as to create a colony in Terran territory.

This immediately causes the Terrans to break their treaty with the Ukra Tak Collective.

2411

The Terrans know that the Ukra have become angry. Also with the Ukra having over 120 planets in at least 15 systems, a fleet of well over two hundred ships and bases, the Terrans have to strike first and quickly. The Humans, without declaring war, immediately attack all warships and colonies the Ukra have set up in Federation territory. The Humans quickly win all these battles.

2411.4

The Ukra have declared war on the Terrand Federation

2411.8

The War is not going good for the Terran Federation. Given the overwhelming number of ships, resources and territories of the Ukra, they have overwhelmed all outer defenses of the Terrans and are invading their territory.

The battle for the Xanthar system (Terran Territory) is fierce. The Ukra have sent 40 organic destroyers and 15 light cruisers i hope of overwhelming and destroying the Terrans in one swoop. Why worry about a small bug like the humans who do not have the half the ships or resources of the Ukra Collective. Should be a short military campaign with more territory for the Ukra.

2412

The Ukra have reached Saturna (Terran Planet). 40 organic destroyers and 15 light cruisers smash a Terran fleet of 6 destroyers and 4 light cruisers as well as 5 satellites. Saturna is there for the taking.

Then a miracle happens. The Ukra do not open fire on the planet but instead are leaving the Xanthar system.

2412

The Terrans are confused. Was it an act of mercy? Was it that the Ukra called off the war? It was none of this.

Instead Terrans sensors indicate that the Ukra fleet ran out of supplies are heading back to a resupply base over three systems away to resupply. WHAT LUCK!!! I think all religious leaders on that day had their packed congregations.

The Terran military leaders realise that they must take quick advantage of this situation. As the Ukra ships are out of supplies, they are moving extremely slow. With a fleet of 10 destroyers and 5 light cruisers, the humans lay seige to the Ukra fleet.

2415

The Ukra Tak Collective are in shock. What should have have been a short military campaign as turned out into an all out INTERSTELLAR WAR with the humans hoding their own. The war is no longer being fought on Terran systems but in the Ukra Tal systems.

The Terrans, to this point have captured three Ukra Tak star systems and are pushibg into the heavily fortified Gretok system (Ukra Territory).

The problem the Ukra are having is that the Human ships are using shielding technology while the Ukra shps do not have shields.

2418

Battle in the Gretok system has turned into a dogfight. The Ukra know that if the Terran Federation captures Gretok, it will give the Federation a chance to launch attacks into heavily populated and industrialised Ukra systems.

The Ukra have created a massive defense network in Gretok with at least 10 space stations, 60 sattelites and numerous ships spread throughout Gretok. If they can hold the Humans and inflict heavy looses, the humans will either lose interest in the war or be unable to attack anymore. Here, the Ukra couldlaunch a massive counterattack.

2418.9

The Terrans started the Gretok campaign with 20 ships (10 frigates, 7 destroyers and 3 light cruisers). Their mission is simple, destroy as much of the defense network as possibe till reinforcements arrive.

2419.9

Of the 20 original ships sent by the Terrans, only five remain (3 destroyers and two frigates). Most ships were lost when the Terrans tried to cpature a heavily fortified planet that contained three organic space stations, 12 organic destroyers and 5 satellites.

Luckily reinforcements are on the way. Also, the Terrans have introduced a new gerneration of ships with the latest technologies and the latest battle class ship called the Cruiser.

2421

Finally, the Gretok system has fallen to the Terran Federation. The Terrans have lost well over fifty ships while the Ukra have lost close to one hundred ships, six sattelites and 7 space stations.

The next campaign will be in the Olantra and Organtrix systems. However, the Terrans need to rebuild a fleet for these campaigns and sadly, while they wait. the Ukra are bulding their defenses in these systems.

(To be continued)

2425.8

The Olantra System (Ukra Territory) has fallen. Resistance was heavy again but the Terrans managed to capture the entire system with the lost of just 15 ships. The Ukra lost 3 space stations, 40 satellites and at least 60 ships.

This was a heavily populated and industrial sector. It is no doubt affecting both the economy and resources of the Ukra.

2426

The Ukra Tal Collective knows that the Gretok system is crucial because as the humans have captured it, they can now launch offensives into star systems on three fronts. The situation is now dire for the Ukra. If the Terrans are not stopped, not only will they cause more havoc, the Ukra inner colonies will be open to invasion and eventually the homeworld itself.

2426.9

The Ukra have launched forces into the Gretok system again. The fleet consists of 10 destroyers, 5 light cruisers and 5 carriers. Also, for the first time in the war, the Ukra organic ships have shields.

Currently, the Terrans have 18 ships (3 cruisers, 5 light cruisers, 6 destroyers, 6 frigates) holding the system.

2427.6

The battles between two fleets seems to have settled the issue for the Gretok system. The Terrans have managed to win the battle but only after 5 dogfight battles.

The Carriers of the Ukra were filled with fighters that continually harassed and badly damaged many of the Terran ships. Strangely, the Terrans never used fighters or carriers in their fleets. The story behind this is that back in 2409 when the Terran Government had to make decisions in spending research money into the military, they left out fighters because they saw them as too small to have any decisive impact in battles.

Anyway, the ending result is that after the five battles, the Ukra lost all their ships while the Terrans only had two cruisers and one frigate remaining.

With this, the Terrans have established a military base in the Gretok system and are getting ready to invade both the Noloom, Organtrix and Atull systems. The Ukra Collective have refused all calls by the Terrans to surrender or make peace.

The Terrans have also now introduced the Battleship into their fleet's arsenal are panning to use it to full effect in future campaigns.
