General Communications
2/2504.21	•	From: High Command To: Massavid on Irresistible Force    What is going on out there in the Triangle Sector? Is Ker'chuck the only fighting warrior present? Why are your fleets sitting at their bases? Explain yourselves?
2/2504.21	•	From: Massavid on Irresistible Force To: High Command    Why are you wasting my time with these silly questions? We have been preparing for four special attack operations, the first of which is beginning even as I waste time with this message. My plans will, when successful, be the beginning of the end for the Federation in The Triangle. When these four operations are complete, the heavy repair capability of the Federation in The Triangle will have been reduced by more than 75%, and our capability will have been notably increased. We will then be able to operate much more freely, as Star Fleet will not be able to repair battle damage effectively should they be so foolish as to engage us in combat.    Operation Rochambeau is being executed by Admiral Ghoval. Ghoval's fleet has been reinforced with the equivalent of a second battle group. He is tasked with attacking and destroying Federation Outpost 1.    Operation Snatch is to be executed by Admirals Massavid and Krraa'zi. They will assault the Mantiev system in the Mantiev Colonial Association. There they will destroy the system's defenses to allow Operation Grab to occur.    Operation Grab will occur when Operation Snatch is successful. When the Mantiev system has been cleared of resistance, the repair facility located there will be boarded and captured. It will then be brought under tow to Starbase 2 to increase our repair capabilities.    Operation Hammer will include four battle groups. The battle groups of Massavid, Ghoval, Vul'ture, and Krraa'zi will converge simultaneously on Federation Star Base 10. The objective of the attack will be to destroy the facility and its protectors.
2/2504.21	•	From: Massavid on Irresistible Force To: High Command    In the current conflict we are finding that we will be limited in our ability to capture systems within The Triangle due to a lack of assault ships. With the need to garrison each system, we require more of these ships to transport the troops to the combat area. We need the immediate assignment of eight (8) T-3A Mover class assault ships    We also need three (3) G-3A Tugboat class transports assigned to this sector to help in the removal of battle casualties and other booty.
2/2504.21	•	From: Massavid on Irresistible Force To: Ker'chuck on Smiling Death    You are required to move your force to Outpost 1 to arrive on or before 2/2504.45. Operation Hammer will be in progress at this time, and a battle group is needed to defend Outpost 1 in case Star Fleet decides to try to attack our most exposed position. All other forces in The Triangle sector will be committed to Operation Hammer. Reply as to your ability to complete this task.
2/2504.23	•	From: Ker'chuck on Smiling Death To: Massavid on Irresistible Force    I will arrive at the required time, even though I have grave doubts about leaving the center of The Triangle and Starbase 1 with no real defense. I am even more concerned because I do not have any information about this Operation Hammer that gives me any reason to want to support it!
Battle Group Ghoval
2/2504.21	•	For Operation Rochambeau, Admiral Ghoval is authorized by Admiral Massavid to organize "an attached battle group". This unit will be known as "Battle Force Crusk'kin". The following units now at Outpost 1 are assigned to Battle Force Crusk'Kin: Golden Balkev (L-22A Glory Seeker, battleship) Singing Sword (L-13E Fat Man, battleship) Brown Ox (G-5A Tugboat, transport/tug) Korgak's Squadron Dernlak's Squadron Kracker's Squadron Lanard's Squadron Rathman's Support Squadron is ordered to remain at Outpost 1.
	•	Rathman's Support Squadron is detached from Battle Group Ghoval and ordered to remain at Outpost 1.
	•	Battle Group Ghoval and Battle Force Crusk'kin depart Outpost 1 for Federation Outpost 1 at warp 6 to arrive on 2/2504.24. Operation Rochambeau has begun!
2/2504.24	•	Battle Group Ghoval and Battle Force Crusk'kin arrive at Federation Outpost 1. They detect two Size C, three Size B, and five Size A Federation warp signatures. The battle group immediately closes and attacks. As they do, Admiral Ghoval encouraged his troops;    "We will Engage the weak willed old women that transgressed on to our bounderys. And crush them under our lead filled boots."
		About three hours after entering the vicinity and heading for the outpost, sensors detect a massive explosion. The Star Fleet ships immediately leave the area headed "northeast" at warp 5. When the battle group arrives at the outpost they find only an expanding cloud of debris. The Federation has abandoned Outpost 1 and destroyed it themselves.
2/2504.25	•	Having seen the destruction of the outpost and the retreat of the garrison, Admiral Ghoval sits at the site waiting to see if anything happens.
Battle Group Ker'chuck
2/2504.21	•	Ships of the battle group go under repair of the two outposts, and the three repair tenders in the group. The most optimistic estimates indicate that it will take fifteen days to complete all of the required repairs.
	•	A total of 509 new crew members and 427 marines are transferred from the pool at the Starbase to the ships of the battle group over the course of the repairs. This brings all of the ships back up to their full crew and marine compliments.
2/2504.24	•	The scout Bird Of Prey (K-22A Bird Of Prey) completes repairs.
	•	The cruiser Funeral Maker (D-20D Death Rite) completes repairs.
	•	The destroyer Eagle (D-18B Gull) completes repairs.
		Krager's Squadron (two D-18 destroyers) is ordered to take the captured Star Fleet cruiser Minsk under tow, and to proceed to the capital. Admiral Ker'chuck intends to present it to the high council as a gift (he is sucking up). He includes the following presentation message:   "I am sending you this fine but battle scared Enterprise class warship that we captured from the Federation worms at the glorious battle for Farkin. My hope is that you will display this trophy so that all of our people can see how we smashed the Federation fleet as if they were children! This will show the people back home that our war efforts are going as planned and we should be home soon with wondrous stories of Federation defeats and vast territories added to the empire."
2/2504.29	•	The scout Star Of Destruction (K-22A Bird Of Prey) completes repairs.
	•	Kumran's cruiser squadron arrives at Starbase 1 and joins Battle Group Ker'chuck.
Battle Group Krraa'zi
2/2504.23	•	Battle Group Krraa'zi departs Verianne heading for the Mantiev system as part of Operation Snatch. The group will move at warp 6 for just less than 5 days. Then they will drop to warp 3 with all the cloakable ships activating their cloaks. The battle group will arrive on 2/2505.01.
Battle Group Massavid
2/2504.21	•	The assault ship Power Shifter is ordered from the garrison at Starbase 2 into Battle Group Massavid.
