Space Empires V After Action Reports
I am going to try my hand agian at crafting a story from the current game I am playing, it is full tech, three homeworlds, and only colonize breathable atmospheres.
Introduction
It has been over 300 years since humanities forced exodus from Earth, forced out by the Great War, after over a century of searching the survivors of the Great War found the Dussellet system. The small fleet of ship colonized three of the habitable planets in the system; New Terra, Terra Nova, and Terra Prime and together built a new civilization, The Terran Commonwealth.

Captains log, T.C.S. Discovery Captain Taneth recording. The time has finally come, with the colonization of Dussellet III and V as well as the completion of the Dussellet II Asteroid field fleet yards; we are finally taking our first steps outside our solar system. With the Delaware cruiser now completed my crew and I, the first humans to venture out into the unknown for two centuries, have received our orders to proceed through the sole warp point.
2401.1
After surveying the Rukbat system, which turned out to be nothing more than a blackhole system, we returned back through the warp point to Dussellet to await the completion of the T.C.S. Enterprise. When I expressed dissatisfaction of only finding a blackhole to Admiral Barrack she simply smiled and said that the science ministry had plans for that blackhole.
After months of waiting the Enterprise was completed and we returned to the Rukbat system, each on of us heading for one of the two unexplored warp points. As we approached the warp point our sensors detected another vessel, of unknown configuration. When we investigated we discovered that it was a colony ship from a race who called themselves the Sithrak Dominion.
2401.5
In the past four months we have meet four other races; The Eee Consortium, Norak Consortium, Cue Cappa Commonwealth, and the Jraenar Imperium. Unfortunately, and as I expected when an Sithrak colony ship attacked us a couple months ago, the Sithrak Dominion has declared war.
As a result our, as well as the Discovery’s, exploration mission has been put on hold. Instead we are to drive the Sithrak colonies from the Melmac system for when our colony ships arrive. Meanwhile the Discovery is to do the same in the Ekolis system. The hope is that this will force the Sithrak to reconsider this war, and if not to give the fleet yards enough time to complete the three Virginia class dreadnoughts currently under construction.
2401.8
With the Melmac system has been cleared of enemy colonies, though I suspect there are others hiding deeper in the system, the Enterprise is holding position at the warp point. I have received word that the colony ships have been delayed, it appears that the warp point to the Rukbat system disabled the colony ships engines.
A repair ship has been dispatched, and after repairing its own engines from the transit, has begun to repair the colony ship, I only hope that they will be on their way before they get pulled into the blackhole. I have also recived news of the Discovery, while they were able to wipe out the colonies in the Ekolis system; they encountered a Sithrak cruiser and were destroyed. My crew and I mourn for those lost, and wait for the day when we can repay the Sithrak in kind.

T.C.S. Avenger, Captain Morgan commanding, with last months destruction of the Enterprise fleet command has given me the go ahead to commence an attack on the enemy forces still in the Ekolis system. By the end of next month we should be joined by the T.C.S. Revenge and T.C.S. Terminator.
