A War for the Stars

[Erax]

Seeker I, Captain's log, SGY 2404.8:

The assault on Aram I's defense network was a complete success. Our long range scans had detected more than twenty defense satellites in orbit, but we didn't know if there were any ground-to-space defenses to back them up. Our carriers began releasing TIE fighters at long range while the Fleet approached slowly.

At this shorter range, we determined that the Yakrin mainworld had no ground-based wepons and that its defense satellites were the same model that our fighters had taken care of at the wormhole to Gandle Ott. After that, it was just a matter of releasing fighters outside missile range and letting them shoot the defenseless satellites.

We detected an enemy ship, another satellite layer, leaving the planet just before we arrived. After the region around Aram I was secured, we sent a flight of six TIE fighters after it. They caught and destroyed it just outside the Gandle Ott wormhole.

Aram I is now blockaded, nothing comes in or goes out. The Yakrin refuse to answer our signals, but this will soon change. Two Alliance carriers are coming this way, with five Yakrin frigates hot in pursuit. There is another Alliance vessel entering the system - a destroyer that is twice as large as one of our carriers. Now we'll see what the Yakrin prefer - to be invaded by us or bombarded by the Alliance.
