[Suicide Junkie]

The Vikings continue to outmanouever the Terran defense fleets.

While the Terran main fleet was busy at Tudran VII, two smaller assault fleets proceeded to attack Tudran IV and VI.
Fresh raiders have been spotted on Tudran IV, and a large Viking fleet is blockading the spaceports.

Tudran VI is particularily hard hit, as they have just recently completed their Legacy Infrastructure project, and construction materials are scarce.
Although outnumbered, and with little capability to arm militia forces, the capital city refuses to surrender, for the defense fleets are on their way.



2409.3:
The last of the orbital industry in Tudran has been completely destroyed by Viking raids. The terran defense fleet has managed to catch and destroy the Viking fleet blockading Tudran IV, but the Vikings have struck Tudran VII again, and completely wiped out the reinforcements gathering there.

Another defeat was suffered to the south in Fetid against a minor Viking world; troops were dropped, but before they could capture the planet, the planetary militia had crippled the small assault fleet.
Although the fighters no longer had a base of operations to return to, they were able to destroy all but one carrier in hit and run attacks during the next few days.

The only good news lately, is that the vikings seem to be losing the war by attrition.
Minor skirmishes between the small defense fleets of the outlying military bases and small viking reinforcement convoys has been hampering their ability to replace their casualties in Tudran. And although few ships have actually been destroyed, many of the viking forces have been forced to retreat.
