Earth Expeditionary Force, Krish System

Captains, I know your reassignments to this task force were sudden but time is of the essence. Nine days ago, a Dilgar fleet was spotted departing into hyperspace. One of our scouts managed to follow them to a previously unknown jumpgate in a system called Krish.

According to our allies, everything in the system was wiped out in a war a thousand years ago and there was no indication of a jumpgate even being active there until less than a month ago. If the Dilgar have found it, we cannot allow them to capitalize on that find. We have them on the ropes and a forward base this close to Earth could tie up Earthforce for months, possibly even a year, giving them time to regroup and renew offensives against several of our allies. We cannot let that happen and I have been tasked with just that mission. I have chosen you three because you are some of the most aggressive and successful captains we have out there and this is too important to have anyone but the best. If we fail, Earth herself will be in danger.

Captain Kallis, your battlegroup is as follows:

Nova Dreadnought – EAS Chronus
Hyperion Cruiser - EAS Delhi
Hyperion Cruiser - EAS Veracruz
Hyperion Assault Cruiser - EAS Houseman
Olympus Gunship – OLC-65G
Oracle Scout Cruiser – OSC-36
Tethys Missile Boat – TLP-532M
Tethys Laser Boat – TLP-387L

Captain Gonzalez, your battlegroup is as follows:

Nova Dreadnought – EAS Charybdis
Hyperion Cruiser - EAS Richmond
Hyperion Cruiser - EAS Khartoum
Hyperion Assault Cruiser – EAS Guan Yu
Olympus Gunship – OLC-62G
Oracle Scout Cruiser – OSC-56
Tethys Missile Boat – TLP-396M
Tethys Laser Boat – TLP-404L


You will both be the hunting arms of the fleet. Your jobs will be to find and engage the enemy and to harass them until the main body of the fleet can arrive to deliver the knockout blow.

Captain Cargano, your battlegroup is as follows:

Avenger Heavy Carrier – EAS Mitchell
Nova Dreadnought – EAS Poseidon
Hyperion Assault Cruiser - EAS Vostok
Hyperion Assault Cruiser - EAS Erinyes
Artemis Escort Frigate – AHF44-E
Artemis Escort Frigate – AHF76-E
Olympus Gunship – OLC-21G
Oracle Scout Cruiser – OSC-89
Sagittarius Cruiser - SSM-67
Sagittarius Cruiser - SSM-114
Sagittarius Cruiser - SSM-186
Sagittarius Cruiser - SSM-221
Tethys Missile Boat – TLP-217M
Tethys Missile Boat – TLP-323M
Tethys Laser Boat – TLP-441L
Tethys Laser Boat – TLP-632L
Hermes Transport – HTR-388
Hermes Transport – HTR-521
2 Nova Fury Wings (5 Flights each)

You will have the main body of the fleet and you will be tasked with coordinating with Kallis and Gonzalez to bring the Dilgar to heel. Preliminary intel on the system indicates there are currently several habitable worlds so have to assume that they will attempt to fortify at least one if not more. Your experience with planetary invasions will most likely be tested, Cargano.

I and my ship (Orestes Battleship – EAS Winfield Scott) will rendezvous with you all at the predetermined position in four days at the predetermined time. Until then, godspeed and good hunting.

Adm. James Carstairs
