Admiral Agamemnon, Xavier I., Stardate 2267.44 - Personal log entry :--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been an entire year since our fleet has deployed in Sagittarius. I faintly remember the times when we were mere lieutenants, tasked with patrolling our home system, Cassiopeia.
It had been easier on us because we could see our friends and family when we returned to our base for de-briefing and R&R. Now, being deployed in the distant and war-torn cluster of Sagittarius, where we are attacked almost routinely, it has been hard upon our morale and confidence. Compounding our difficulties is the grief of losing able and dear ones to the purl of war.
Even so, we had never even dreamed about needing to worry about aliens.
A few months ago, Victor Montoya, captain of the C.S.S Aether and my best friend, was attacked while escorting a dreadnought. His cruiser was heavily damaged, and he was mortally wounded while trying to escape. Presently, he is in the military hospitals on Exathra. I pray he regains his strength, friendliness and optimism towards life.
When taking rests, I sometimes remember our training days. Our days together in boot camp, when he would try to take on several drone opponents alone, and crash into a flag pole trying to escape the accurate shots of the training lasers.
My Second-In-Command, Grand Admiral Alucard has been pressing on me to let my grief go away, and move on. I wish he understood the pain, which makes it hard to let go some times...
I cannot see my days in Sagittarius as anything more meaningful than a time of struggle and perseverance. We have been battling for the Kaus Borealis for months now, working without tirelessly, to establish our dominion there so that we can strike back at UGTO and K'Luth, who have been hunting our scout ships whenever I send them off for reconnaissance duties.
The last time we lost a crewmember was 3 months ago, a successful consequence of my decision to make the smaller ships unmanned so that we would stop losing our loved pilots. Ships can be built again and again, but able and courageous pilots are difficult to replace.
Two months ago, a marauding K'Luth strike force assaulted my flagship, the C.S.S Achilles. Their intent was solid and lethal, to the point where they ripped apart many portions from the center of the Achilles. As of now it has been in the local space dock for five weeks. Engineers report that it has a broken hull, with many gun ports missing. It can take over 4 months to repair it.
For now, I am in command of my old ship, the C.S.S Athena. My chief engineer requisitioned a few upgrades for it, and now he deems it fit to take down just about anything, as long as we don't get any surprises along the way hopefully.
Although with the K'Luth lurking around it hard to tell when they strike again.
I have a very good feeling about this. Being in my old ship has brought back a stash of my treasured memories - for one, I remember when I was assigned to fleet 'Starwolves' in Rogen's Rift, when it was a recently-constructed Border Cruiser.
Those pirates were always fun to joke about. We saw them as a bunch of drunken ships swerving left and right, although at times they did present a good fight.
There was a lack of the UGTO in the Rift, but we did have the occasional visit from the K'Luth. Every now and then, Marshal Darkmaster would request a bit of help while dealing with the K'Luth and pirates at the same time, and we rush in and trounce both handily, with no visible scratches on our armor plates.
Today, I feel that luck now runs through my veins now that I'm in my old ship again.

Earlier today, we were invaded by a recently deployed Trade Federation fleet. We lost control of two planets - Kona and Sto-vok. Our counter-attack resulted in their recapture by the end of the day, thanks to the help provided by the nearby Fatal Squadron and Faster Than Light outposts. The above success comes at the price of us losing 3 ships - the C.S.S Cronus, the C.S.S Themis and the C.S.S Iapetus - tasked with holding off the UGTO warships.
Deep in my heart, I truly wish it was not my responsibility to write the grim letters of demise to the family and kin of the soldiers maimed in war. Many a times, I feel as if I haven't proclaimed and praised the valiant efforts put forth by my deceased comrades, in the letters addressed to the families desperately waiting in Cassiopeia.
The good news is that our combined retaliatory force dealt a substantial loss to the Trade Navy, destroying some of the 6 ships of the invasion force and causing terminal damage to the rest.
Oddly, today my mind has been swarmed by thoughts about how I got into this messy area, so I feel it would be best for me to add it in my personal log.
I was born in the southern Industrial Belt of Exathra on Stardate 2235.25, before the consolidation of the Interstellar Cultural Confederation. I have never visited Earth. I have been to Sol for winning a lottery prize, and saw the planet from afar, but I never landed on it's surface.
When the Confederate Intelligence Division found out about bio weapon tests performed by the UGTO and reports of our planets being bombed and invaded, I decided to join the Navy to drive away the egoistic Trade commanders. In 2249, I graduated as a 1st Lieutenant, soon after which a "tragic accident" regarding covert transportation of bio weapons near Tar-Nak took place.
In 2252, I was given command of an old destroyer, the C.S.S Hyperion, and assigned to the brazen Starwolves fleet, operating in the Rift. Sometimes I wonder if it is still operating.
In 2256 I was promoted to 1st Rear Admiral for commendable performance in repelling the pirate attacks, and awarded command of the newly commissioned C.S.S Athena when it was a Border Cruiser.
In 2260 I earned the title of Vice Admiral, and was granted command of my own squadron of warships, tasked with patrolling the borders and jump gates of Cassiopeia for enemy raiders. We were also assigned to the first line of defence of Minuete and Exathra, my home planet.
Later, my squadron and I were deployed to Sagittarius in 2266. While preparing for our departure, I heard some of my crew calling it the "Mexican stand off". I was well-acquainted with the origin of the term, and decided to join the conversation to lighten the mood. They were all good men and women, for whom I hoped that they would survive the Mexican stand off, that is, Sagittarius.

2267.47 ---
The local outposts of Faster Than Light, Fatal Squadron, and my own Exathra Alliance Fleet, mounted an assault on Cincinnati to deliver a bitter reminder to the UGTO that they are not the only ones capable of capturing planets. The assault was partially successful, as we blockaded half of the system before meeting heavy opposition. We held them off for some time, while also running supply vessels to tend to the wounded, and later retreated to our Base of Operations for preparing defenses.
2267.48 ---
When I launched the Athena from the Kona Shipyard, I received a distress message from the C.S.S Jetstorm, commanded by Commander Xavier Lee. Invasion forces of the Trade Federation had upheld their routine by capturing 3 planets in Dres-Kona. With the assistance of Commander Lee, we re-captured the planets after working for hours.
When I have time to spare, I think about the skills employed by the veterans of Sagittarius. The Renegade Space Marines specialize in dreadnought fleets. Whatever measure of skill they possess, is dwarfed by the strength of their ships. But when I think about it, I notice the strategic maneuvers they utilize to block our paths and deliver payloads of destructive torpedoes, while taking minimal damage.
Much of the K'Luth fleet employs hit-and-run techniques, but the "Pitch Black" fleet has sharpened this tactic, by using a line of dreads to uncloak near our ships and vaporize them before they are noticed. Many a dread and station have been destroyed in their wake.
Fatal Squadron and Faster Then Light have the funniest captains I have known. Their primary battle plan involves using only cruisers and destroyers for offense and defense. With the right mix of Rear Admirals and Captains, they can devastate an entire fleet.
When my fleet is operating together, we use the element of surprise, combined with cruisers and destroyers sometimes even Dreadnoughts to take out the opposition.
One person who comes to mind when thinking about guerrilla is Marshal Defiance, known for his knack for making fleets retreat when using a wolf pack of destroyers and heavy cruisers. Then there is Captain Lee who prefers to use his Combat Dreadnought as an oversized cruiser. He likes to use hit and run tactics, where he assaults and weakens 3 ships, then runs to the nearby planet for repairs, then jumps back in to finish the job.
2268.49 ---
We began a massive assault on our opposition, taking the R33 system and holding it against both UGTO insurgents and K'Luth marauders. We lost 10 ships, but thanks to the help of the other fleets, for every ship we lost the UGTO and K'Luth lost 2 or more.
The C.S.S Athena has fared out pretty well against the UGTO and K'Luth warships, both big and small. It has an edge in speed and agility than most other ships in our navy, because of it's history as a Border Cruiser, but the armor plating and the weaponry adds more weight than I anticipated. Nevertheless, it has proved it's worth as a flag ship.
I've been informed that an Assault Dreadnought is being built as an addition for my small garage of flagships; and the C.S.S Achilles, my Combat Dreadnought, has been mostly repaired. Waves upon waves of good news elevate my optimism to new heights.

MI...scary contraptions, I must say. No more than hours ago were we attacked by a small group of them while we are patrolling the neighboring stars. One after one did the enormous machines jumped near us, and smoothly knocked out life support, defenses and communications in minutes. Desperately struggling engineers luckily improvised the mechanisms and got the life support up, barely. Soon we had communications operational as well, and sent out a distress signal for repair vessels. A mishap of fate led a K'Luth attack cruiser to us, which had also received the signal from our squadron, and tried to earn an easy kill. We defended ourselves while the nearby supply vessels warped to us and immediately began repairing our jump drives.
We got out in the nick of time, when a K'Luth dreadnought jumped into our shattered battlegroup. It prioritized the supplier and grazed it with torpedoes. The supply drones had repaired our jump drives, and we bailed out for Kona. After docking, de-briefing reports informed us of the horrendous damage sustained by the warships. A large hole was present where the reactor compartments and ammunition storage of the C.S.S Athena were present. I was happy because the ships were salvageable, and the Athena held together even after the punitive assault from the MI.
Sooner or later, we would need to do something about the machine menace...whoever or whatever they are.
2267.51
Today's assignment briefing yet again bestowed the patrol duty through Kaus Borealis for the morning shift. After most of the sections were scanned thoroughly, we detected a skirmish between the UGTO and the K'Luth. Reconnaissance revealed that the UGTO had deployed a number of Harrier Frigates and an orbital station, whereas the K'Luth were utilizing locally available destroyers and a few dreadnoughts. We quickly drew assault plans, and waited for the two sides to weaken each other. Soon enough, my Tac-officer gave the signal and our warships jumped both sides.
The K'Luth did not take their assailants lightly, and counter-attacked my dreadnought in a 3 vs 1 chase. Admiral Roadrunner had also been informed about our strike, and jumped in with his dreadnought for my aid. In the end, the Trade Federation received a fleeing and battered battlegroup, and the various K'Luth tribes would not be able to use 2 of their dreadnoughts for a long time.
We returned to Kona after Borealis was fully scanned and secured. My schedule for the upcoming week is full of training flights, lectures and resource audits for the new Lieutenants who have been put under my charge. While it may seem abysmal to others, I take joy in being able to drink and chat with my colleagues longer, on the surface.
2267.52
We were attacked yet again by the vengeful K'Luth on our day's patrol. Their tribe leaders were truly displeased with yesterday's havoc, and sent an elite warrior battlegroup in our pursuit. Organic weapons and antimatter weapons destroyed most of the patrollers, including 2 dreadnoughts. Us escapees sent distresses to Tau Ceti, and soon we were joined by reinforcements which helped us fight the aliens and pushed them Back. We lost many officers and warships in that battle, and my concerns regarding shortage of people begins to haunt me again.
Reconnaissance ships patrolling enemy systems reported an unknown UGTO signal containing scrambled information, originating from somewhere within ICC space, but investigators reported that no ship was found in the area. Curiosity must have found me, for I assigned two Commanders to full-time monitoring of the intel regarding this rogue signal.
2267.53-59
My Base of Operations at Argrea received encrypted orders from the ICC High Command's Intel division, stationed in orbit of Exesgar, to begin searching for clues regarding any potential covert Trade Federation operations in Dres-Kona. After a short discussion with my colleagues and commanders, I determined that my search should begin from the backwater planets in R33-8710 and Cincinnati. My ride today would be a small mercantile transport ship to avoid any unwanted attention from patrol ships of both UGTO and ICC borders.
Perhaps curiosity had truly found me. A mere few hours browsing through the restaurants and bars near the Haven Shipyard, and I bumped into a drunk UGTO Captain who was traveling without any escorts. Another couple of minutes proved to be enough for extracting every bit of information about a covert operation involving a temporary base in orbit of Psc-120 in Dres-Kona. The smooth sailing of my day prompted me to personally command a Recon scout tomorrow.
I set out for Psc-120 in the C.S.S Bumblebee, an able recon scout with a short but proud history of performance. Slowly approaching the gaseous body. The radiation blocked most of the scanner feeds, but after getting closer we could detect an ST-64 Command Station in orbit, and it's companion warships on approaching closer. The flagship of the fleet was a dreadnought with a Trojan war era helmet insignia on it's side, trademark of RSM Achilles.
The last time I engaged his dreadnought and escort in combat ended in a draw. I had severely battered both of them, and disabled the Battle Cruiser's main weapons. Had it not been for Achilles almost ramming my cruiser, and somehow distracting me from his crippled ally, I would have emerged victorious in that skirmish. However, they managed to escape, and Achilles sent a Battlegroup to destroy my dread. I escaped with minimal damage taken.
Curiosity was making my day, as I ordered my officers at Kona to launch their warships and prepare mine as well. After collecting some more intel about the composition of platforms and support ships in the area, I made my way back to the repaired and operational C.S.S Athena. We made formation and drew up sketchy battle plans, then everyone jumped to Psc-120 at my mark.
Achilles' dreadnought was orbiting the station, so we made it a priority to destroy him first. He reacted simply by using ranged weaponry and basic evasive maneuvers. Such odd behavior was noticed by everyone, and instantly explained when a Tac-officer literally screamed that the station was charging a wormhole drive. A general command was sent throughout the ship for closing in on and firing at the dread.
Had curiosity left me?
The sleek off-white dreadnought began approaching me at full speed with guns blazing, and disabled the forward gun-ports with a decisive flux wave burst. Athena turned around and slowed down to counter-fire using rear guns, but Achilles was already making his way towards the station. Not moments later could the characteristic humming of a wormhole be heard throughout space, and many of the ships disappeared into the abyss.
The remaining Trade ships were heading towards their escape route, but my squadron hit the ST-64's reactor and it exploded. The immediate collapse of the wormhole, accompanied by a local paramilitary M-235I Interdictor Cruiser jumping into the battlezone broke the stranded commander's morale. They hesitantly, yet unanimously, decided to surrender themselves. We escorted them to the Prison facilities at Farstay for interrogation and imprisonment, and had their ships scrapped of useful data and sent to the Fargo Rock scrapyards to be melted down and re-used for new ICC warships.
We were lucky not to lose any ships in a battle which could have become potentially large-scale. I feel its about time that we secure our own backyards and prevent the future amassing of covert operatives, for the next time Curiosity may not be as helpful.

2267.61-66
It has been awhile since I recorded my last log. I had accumulated some off-duty leave, which I gladly redeemed, and went to Exathra for a while.
It looks marginally different from the last time I came here. Some new cities have emerged, and the power grid was expanded as well. My beloved city in which I was born has also been extending it's boundaries into the nearby coast. It feels nice to be home.
After the few hours of reminiscence, I proceeded as determined pay Victor a visit in his hospital room. Mere glances reveal that he has not yet emerged from his painfully silent coma. A single tear fell from my eyes onto the synthetic wool blanket.
I briskly walked from the local magnetomotive rail station to see my dear parents. Both of them gave me a warm and firm hug, they were amiably thankful to see that I am alive, as well as deprived of having company of their son. It is hard to think about returning to the border and risk death with every conflict. Whenever among the stars, I wish that I'll make it out alive in the end.
We talked about the old times, specifically my childhood. Everything seems nice, everything seam simple as children, which gives them their unwavering optimism.
Next day, I went to see some of my old acquaintances who didn't join the Naval Academy with me. When they told me they work in the local ship yards, I asked them about their completed ship projects.
Almost shockingly, I hear that they had built the C.S.S Athena - My C.S.S Athena. I updated them regarding the present ownership of that rugged war cruiser, and we all laughed about it and i told of adventures from the front lines. Nearing the evening, we had a few beers and talked about the good old days.
It was my last day off duty, so I bitterly told them that I was due to leave for the border. It was time to pack up, and continue to fight till the unforeseen end came, be it my own or my foe's.
At 0830 hours sharp, I was back on the Dres-Kona Forward Operations Station. I shared the knowledge of the manufacturers who built the Athena among my officers. They beamed with greater hopes of surviving this deadly war.
Also, I found a letter regarding two new lieutenants - Admiral Taito and Admiral Medusa - who have been assigned to my crew during my absence. I wish for their long and meaningful life.
2267.67-73
We have been doing wolf pack strikes and guerrilla attacks in Borealis, but not as frequently as we used to. I have been stretching my luck a lot, using the MI as our ban-hammers to destroy, divide and distract UGTO and K'Luth insurgent fleets.
A memorable favorite incident was when a UGTO dreadnought jumped my cruiser, and then a giant Longhead jumped me as well. By a twist of fate, the machine decides to leave me for good and target the dreadnought. I heard a distinct roar of laughter in the lower decks when that happened.
We haven't been under any large scale attack lately, and hope this status quo continues till we get the wounded away from Dres-Kona and into the safer havens.

Admiral Agamemnon, Xavier I., Stardate 2268.18 - Personal log entry:--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2267.73-2268.01
Taking a deep breath of recycled air, I begin my long-pending log.
With the debriefing of my last battle, I was recalled to Fleet Command Headquarters, Exathra, to audit, propose and negotiate decisions, with the Joint Chiefs along with select Fleet Commanders, about men, warships, planetary economy & resources, and several other news with our forces in Cassiopeia, Rogen’s Rift and especially Sagittarius constellations.
Allied border patrols in Cassiopeia were met with problems presented by pirates in Cassiopeia deep space. My fleet was summoned to Cassiopeia to take care of the problem till the end of the year.
The pirates begun with attacks on the outer colonies, and planned to work their way inward towards the hub star systems. When we assaulted them with our full force, they hastily chose to flee, as is almost customary of them to do when they start losing battles over and over again.
We followed them to their stronghold, where they had built their makeshift base of operations, in Thypho. They had amassed there nearly 15 support ships, 5 cruisers and 3 stolen ICC dreadnoughts. When we begun our insurgency, the pirate support ships tried their best to defend the capital dreadnoughts but they were no match for our advanced support ships.
They were wiped out efficiently in the first 15 minutes of battle. The cruisers put up a fight, but soon enough, 2 of them were destroyed and the rest were disabled and captured. The dreadnought that was being fired upon put up a fight, but lost by first being disabled then boarded. Then the other that I ordered ships to fire on begun to twist up like putty, then imploded like a fire cracker.
The flag ship was directly to the fore of my ship. It was successfully disabled by our support ships, so I decided to lead the boarding party and left the command to my second-in-command Admiral Alucard for the invasion of Thypho.
We boarded the stolen dreadnought. The interior of the ship has been significantly damaged - there were wires and broken glass everywhere.
I had 60 assault troops at my disposal. I sent 20 down to the engine room, 20 to go to the Weapon and Control center, and the remaining to follow me to the bridge.
On our course, we forced our path through pirate rookies who were trying to defend parts of the corridors to the bridge, but we soon made it there at the "acceptable" loss of some troops along the way. The remnants of the pirate gunmen were trying to escape via atmospheric personnel drop pods, but were intercepted and were mowed down by my troops.
Before we entered the main bridge, I retreated to a safe spot to check in with the other teams. Both had accomplished their objective and were holding their position. They had sustained a few pirate attacks who tried to reclaim and fortify some of the areas, but were killed or forced into surrender. I instructed them to hold their position and try getting the engines back online, before we start degrading orbit and collide with the planet.
After dispensing orders to my other two deployments, I ordered the troops to storm the bridge. When we got in a few steps of the bridge, I saw the few remaining pirates leering at us, but not shooting. Assuming it to be a notion of diplomacy, I walked in to meet the leaders of this rag-tag operation.
One of the pirates came forth and spoke to me. He told me his name was Captain Casey Deadbones, and proudly claimed that I will die here today, whilst drawing a sword from his side. I instinctively drew mine. The other pirates broke under tension, and futilely attempted to attack my troops but were put down with ease. One of my troops poised his weapon, pointed at the captain, but I firmly told them to hold their fire, for this was a challenge to a duel.
The two of us went out on the deck, I readying my reflexes to face him. He first started at my right and I deflected him. Then he tried the left. I met him at easy then he launched swift consecutive attacks. I executed deft blocks, then hit him with the hilt of my sword. He fell back and staggered trying to keep his balance.
Sensing inevitable defeat, he sprinted towards the escape pods, and cried out in anger, that I will rue this day and he will be back. then i drew my pistol and tried to shoot at him, with no amiable success.
When I checked in with the other teams, they notified me that the engines were too severely damaged, and that abandoning the ship would be wise. Affirmatively, I passed the instruction for abandon ship to all troops. We made it to the flight bays in time before the ship begun to fall apart. I grabbed the last functional shuttle off the dreadnought, then flew back to my ship. While in transit i watch as the ship fell apart and explode into several parts.
When i got back to the ship I asked the first mate if they found the pirate's pod. He told me that they couldn't find any trace of Captain Casey escape pod. Then I hailed Alucard for progress of the ongoing invasion. He briefed me that he was rounding up the last of the pirates. With the battle over we waited for the Confederate prison transports to ferry the captured pirates to prison facilities. I’m so mad about letting that pirate get away. But I bet I will see him again and I shall definitely kill and get rid of that pirate boss.
2268.01-2268.18
After the brief New Year's celebrations, we were redeployed in Sagittarius. When the fleet jumped in, the systems were on a high alert, courtesy of constant attacks by the K'Luth forces. In our efforts at defending, we lost a number of planets and war assets, including my recently acquired Support Station, to the persistent attacks of 4 K'Luth dreadnoughts. As the fight progressed on we received reinforcements and pushed back the invaders to their home galaxy. Admirals Rogue Avenger, Arachno, Phellan, and the new recruits to the ICC navy that joined my fleet, Maximus and Grimaldus. I give them my best regards for helping in the recapture Dres-Kona.
With the Battle of Dres-Kona won, I pondered about the status of UGTO forces - whether they were beaten back by the K'Luth advances or is having internal problems with reinforcement. I cannot afford time to think, for the recent attack severely disrupted the economy of important Dres-Kona trade hubs, and we must make haste with the rebuilding processes. I’ve lost a lot of good people, and I will surely avenge the death of the masses of people lost to this war.

Grand Admiral Agamemnon, Xavier I., Stardate 2268.25 - Personal log entry:--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I forced the worse thoughts out of my head and ordered formation with EAFS Bokuzen, Lonewolf, User, and Perihelion of the FS who came with to help to retake our planets in our home system. We launched the assault with bombing strikes, and taking the planets that supported active shipyards. We skillfully moved from the enduring Boonie cluster to the garrisoned Faobian cluster.
When we pushed on to Ambrosia, a pair of huge Hives materialized out of nowhere. They refused to retreat, forced us out of our positions, and then they started to recapture the system. Retreating, repairing and conjuring new battle plans, the next day we held our ground in Ross 248 and then we made our push while the K'Luth were asleep. We bombed their shipyards and took back our homeland.
We haphazardly relocated most of the POWs - we didn't care much and decided to put prison transports to use - and relocated them to Zo, an inferno planet. On the dark side of the planet everything is dark and quiet, but when it turns to day nothing can survive the devastating radiation.
Even after the successful assault it wasn't convincing to me, that we left the survivors on an Inferno. I wanted to make the K'Luth pay back dearly for what they have done. I am tormented with desperation and agony, feelings which are surmounted by the hope that I will be able to get back at them in the future, for trying to take our home system. However I will not let this get the best of me.
2268.21-2268.22
The Joint Chiefs contacted me, and told me to plan an attack on the K'Luth's home system. My consciousness theorizes that they sense my anger, and want me to harness it...channel it...manipulate it...gain it's strength and rain hell on my enemy in the battlefield with deadly efficiency and cold rage.
I led my fleet and jumped into deep space. [FS]Perihelion came along with to augment our force in the attack. We had to navigate around and refuel a lot, to find the perfect planet to start at.
My tacticians and navigators brought us to Iragus. Iragus in the Groombridge system. On the edge of the Andromeda galaxy. We manage to sneak our way there, and conquered Iragus in a swift attack then took the other companion planets around it. [FS]Perihelion, "user", and [EAFS]Bokuzen captured the planets while my group rebuilt them. There were a handful of attacks by local K'Luth patrols, but they were destroyed with efficient ease. We continued onto the other clusters and captured the system, when suddenly an urgent distress transmission arrived from Dres-Kona.
So we gathered up all the troops and shut down the entire Groombridge's planet production and left. We were put up with a spot of fight before we left, for the sake of making it appear that we weren't retreating due to sudden urgency, because the main K'Luth forces begun to take back the system.
2268.23
Back on the front-lines, we had witnessed several fights between UGTO and K'Luth forces. It seemed that the return of RSM had made it harder to keep control of Kaus. We managed to hold Uolme Septavus at least; it was rather hard to hold because it is located in between the MI stronghold and the R33-8710 gate.
Lately, it seems we keep getting into this combat loop, where we are assaulted by UGTO heavy warships, and the victor is snuck upon by Terrorizing K'Luth strike forces. Another loop I've noticed is that K'Luth attack the garrisons of UGTO while we lay waste to K'Luth from their rear lines. I must figure out a way so we don't continue jumping onto each other like this.

I guess i could, although the mention of bio weapons.... i'm sure after the first incident of their use they were never touched again by ICC or UGTO , a nasty plague that was (Not enough time to describe) but yes i can proof read if you wish.
EDIT:
Ok , before i forget if you do pm me the writing for proof reading please state if you use English(US) or English(UK) as that may cause problems for me.

I guess i could, although the mention of bio weapons.... i'm sure after the first incident of their use they were never touched again by ICC or UGTO , a nasty plague that was (Not enough time to describe) but yes i can proof read if you wish.
EDIT:
Ok , before i forget if you do pm me the writing for proof reading please state if you use English(US) or English(UK) as that may cause problems for me.

When the Confederate Intelligence Division found out about bio weapon tests performed by the UGTO and reports of our planets being bombed and invaded, I decided to join the Navy to drive away the egoistic Trade commanders. In 2249, I graduated as a 1st Lieutenant, soon after which a "tragic accident" regarding covert transportation of bio weapons near Tar-Nak took place.

Gd luck to you.
I was happy to get out of the army after spending a couple of years in it. Civilian life is so much better, IMO.
