A War for the Stars

Seeker I, Captain's log, SGY 2405.3 (later):

The other side of the wormhole turned out to be clear. The new system, which showed up on our charts as Loovria, was crawling with the Yakrin. Our scanners picked up four colonies, with a starship in orbit around one of them. Loovria IV, a huge partially colonizable world, was close enough to our entry point to be within reach this tenth, so that's where the Fleet went.

The Yakrin defense satellites were the same missile-launcher model we'd seen before. A flight of bombers from Black Sword III took care of them and cleared the way for invasion. Fyrine I came in and dropped the Assault Regiment, which captured the planet with 4% casulaties - about two platoons' worth. This time we were lucky - the Yakrin were building and launching defense satellites right up to the moment we invaded, and we managed to capture three before they launched them. They're useless against fighters, but they might hold off a Yakrin warship.

We're now headed towards Loovria II, a large, resource-poor, partially colonizable planet. Meanwhile, the Yakrin worker-types back on Loovria IV are putting up a makeshift starport to initiate trade with the rest of the Sector. Our prospects look good.
