Gurgork's Battle Group

The sudden and unexpected loss of Defense Outpost 317 has left a hole in the front line along the left flank in this sector. Long range scans have shown that a Star Fleet force is moving through this hole and is headed for the star system known as Krak's Folly. If this system, and specifically Krak's Folly VI, should fall, the Federation forces will be able to easily reach some of the sector's major supply routes. Such a result will be disastrous for Klingon forces.

Gurgork's Battle Group has been formed to defend Krak's Folly from the expected assault of Federation forces. The battle group includes the newest version of the L-13 Fat Man type of battleship.

Orders. The battle group is to proceed to Krak's Folly at maximum speed. There it will defend the system to the death! The loss of the entire force is authorized provided that the planet is not taken by Star Fleet and that the assaulting enemy fleet is not in a position to exploit its position in the system.

Intelligence. Soon after the group's arrival in Krak's Folly the expected Star Fleet force appeared.
