    Turn 134 - Nobody’s Side


    Both Strike Fleet and Expeditionary Fleet immediately begin aggressive scouting operations against the Black Steel. There have already been multiple reports of major skirmishes with light Black Steel units which are quite rapidly growing in intensity. Casualties so far are relatively minor, although several light units have been lost. You aren’t facing anything heavier than Black Steel destroyers and corvettes, but at the same time they so far haven’t found anything all that major, just a few mining stations which have been destroyed.

    So far you’ve lost a single Algerie-class heavy cruiser, along with several light cruisers and destroyers as well as a number of parasites. One of your oldest remaining De Grasse-class light cruisers was lost in an apparent misjump accident.

    Your forces aren’t taking the time or effort to make proper surveys, they are simply looking for Black Steel installations and hitting them as quickly as possible. So far you have been quite fortunate that your forces are able to jump out before any Black Steel reinforcements arrive, although the margins at times have been rather narrow.

    The Olympics continue to go quite well, with a large number of ‘familiar’ events taking place which are generally adding to the Team Griffon medal count. There is a surprising amount of high quality competition in motorsports from several of the minor powers, preventing the Bourbons, NRI and NRR from medalling in any of those events. You’ve still swept the top of the podium, but it is clear that your motorsports teams are going to have to up their game to maintain their place at the zenith.

    You do appear to be on track to win around 25 or so gold medals this year, which is a pretty good haul considering the total number of events and the level of competition.

    You receive several reports from your anti-piracy patrols detailing strikes against pirate strongholds as well as more scattered reports of the same Aegis-class cruiser that identifies itself as from the Federated Commonwealth, although the latter reports are third hand at best. You also receive reports of an unusual warship painted all white, that somewhat resembles a slimmer version of the ancient Sylvester-class transports, that has been providing minor humanitarian aid in the most remote reaches of the cluster.

    Regardless, it is time for your annual budget meeting.

    Amaunet is in her usual position, looking as smug as a grifftiger can look without being the Eldest. “Padrone, I’ll leave all the reports and requests to the service chiefs, but I must commend the Aerospace Force for getting their admin section stood up and operational in a relatively short amount of time. General?”

    The stocky and fiery Italian takes the podium. “Your Majesty, we’re ending the SLEP process and resuming ordinary procurement. As it stands, the Army is in solid defensive shape, but would be utterly unable to handle any sort of offensive or counter-offensive operation. Since we’re getting nibbles from the Inner Sphere, this is a situation that cannot stand.”

        • 2 Pathfinder Divisions
        • 4 Regimental Combat Team Divisions

    General Perkins then takes over. “We’ll be focusing a bit more on training assets this year, Your Majesty. Otherwise the Aerospace Force will be continuing to focus on recovering losses and hopefully getting ahead of the curve as quickly as possible.”

    While Admiral Fisher is still attending these meetings, alongside the rest of his senior staff, Admiral Savić is the one handling the meat of the briefing.

    “Your Majesty,” the still young looking woman begins. “Your Navy is in excellent shape across the board. In the near future we will be proposing some expansions to Training Command, but for now it is more than adequate for our current needs. We have surveyed the oldest Oasis II stations, and the ten oldest ones are in need of replacement in the very near future, as they have become functionally obsolete without significant refitting that is not at all cost-efficient. We are continuing work on replacements for the White Tower and Silver Tower but have determined that the Black Tower is in no need of replacement at this time. We hope to have the detail design work on the new Arx defense station completed by next year.”

    She looks over her notes, then brings up the display and starts going through the complicated naval procurement requests with you, slide by slide, in her characteristically professional manner.

    Elizabeth Lee is up next. “Your Majesty, we’ve got bored DoME teams, we’ve got excited economics teams, and we’ve got survey crews itching to get to work.” She smiles cheerfully. “So let’s begin, yes?”

    “To start with, DoME. We’ll be recommending three terraforming projects as well as providing additional logistics support for the military by creating a pair of logistics hubs.”

    “Last, but certainly not least, we have basic system information for the quartet of systems directly between us and the cluster of minor powers to our northeast. It would likely be wise to secure control of these systems as a gateway to trade and relations with our neighbors.”
    • Survey
      • GX-C38
        • A blue supergiant with no terrestrial planets, there are some gas giants in the system but it is unknown just how economically feasible it may be to mine them.
      • GX-C39
        • A somewhat bright red dwarf star is the main feature of this system, improving recharge rates here over other stars of its class. It is known that there are rocky planets in the system, but no survey work has been done here.
      • GX-C40
        • A somewhat variable main-sequence orange star with a number of massive super-jupiter gas giants and dense asteroid belts. Some of the moons may be habitable.
      • GX-B40
        • A yellow main-sequence star a bit smaller than that of Griffon. There are planets here, but the system is very poorly surveyed due to most traffic bypassing it completely.

    Your Foreign Minister is off on Nova Roma representing the Empire at the Olympics, but she has sent you a memo recommending that you hold a Japanese Cultural Festival this year, since the German one was so successful last year.

    None of your other advisors are present this year, as all are either assisting your foreign minister off in the NRI or are working hard overseeing R&D projects. Their assistants all report that they have no outstanding budget requests this year.

    --- Olympics [-]
    -- Production Contract [->?][134,370,000,000]

    -------------------------------------------​

    The Olympics have been quite successful, both overall and for Team Griffon. In the end your team came back with 23 gold medals and managed to medal in all but a handful of sports, occasionally, it should be noted, almost by default since in some of the odder ones nobody but the originating state knew what in creation they were doing.

    Still, 23 golds is a solid haul and what’s more the increase in trade and mercantile activity is quite welcome. Your survey teams do come back with detailed reports on the four systems they’ve been looking at.

    As expected the blue supergiant at GX-C38 is completely uninhabitable, although it does make for a very nice recharge point thus it is valuable in its own way. Your astrophysicists almost cause you a heart attack when they start drooling over neutron flux numbers and proclaim that this star will ‘soon’ go supernova, before explaining that ‘soon’ means in ‘hundreds of millions of years rather than billions’. You feel that you are extremely patient and understanding in that you only have them tossed out of the official Tyler Lee Window Of Defenestration.

    The survey crews working at GX-C39 report back that the red dwarf in question is indeed rather bright for the class, although unfortunately the mineral deposits are somewhat lacking. There is a habitable terrestrial planet in the system, which is mostly shallow seas featuring enormous mats of lichens and fungi. The surveyors have dubbed the place Cần Thơ mới, or New Cantho. Which apparently is a reference to a city in the Mekong Delta back on old Earth.

    The somewhat variable orange star at GX-C40 has spectacular gas giants and enormously wealthy asteroid belts, unfortunately there are no readily habitable terrestrial planets or moons in the system. However there are ideal locations for emplacing a Core Complex, and the mineral wealth makes that a very profitable proposition.

    The survey teams didn’t have much to go with before heading to GX-B40, but were extremely pleasantly surprised by what they found. Two habitable planets, both of which were already teaming with life. One has signs of being an abandoned colony, due to the presence of large numbers of feral dogs, cattle, sheep, and such, but there are no people and no sign of what happened to them. Archaeological investigation dates the disappearance to over two centuries ago. The ruins that have been discovered collapsed solely due to age, there are no signs of a struggle, no signs of a disease outbreak, just that there are no people and haven’t been for at least 225 years. The other has roaming herds of megafauna, which has the resident Grifftiger population just a bit excited. There are ample minerals available, both on the planets and in the asteroid belts, and the place is surprisingly pleasant. The survey crews have dubbed the system Bukoliczny.

    Expansion of the civil service runs into a minor series of snafus, generally due to the sheer number of applicants than anything else, but things are sorted out in the end and, more importantly, on time and on budget.

    Also finishing on-time and budget are the latest expansion work for the various orbital shipyards, warship yards, and repair yards across the empire. The oldest Oasis IIs have been decommissioned and replaced with the new Fortress stations. Admiral von Koester also has forwarded to you the data regarding the pending replacement for both the Silver Tower and the White Tower stations which will begin production next year, just in time for any colonial expansion.

    The admiral notes that the new design combines the core functions of both the Silver Tower and the White Tower in a single platform, simplifying logistics.

    You make a point of being present for the commissioning ceremony for the last Jean Bart-class battlecruiser to be built, appropriately named after the lead ship which had been lost over a decade ago in battle. It’s a somewhat bittersweet moment, in some ways.

    Overall new construction is going very well indeed, with the yards reporting no issues with materials or such. In addition, unlike last year, there is relatively little drama with procurement in general, with many new formations coming online with minimal issues. It’s rather nice, in many ways.

    Do we have the slots/capability to emplace more than one system's worth of the Sensor Shell?
    Click to expand...
    In terms of money? 100%. We could probably afford to put one in every system immediately if we wanted to.

    In terms of slots? Bit more complicated. Stations are currently part of "procurement," which takes up no actions, but is pretty much entirely dependent on QM goodwill for that, and there's some expectations of "reasonableness" in there. For this reason, I generally just accept advisor's recommendations, as I'm not entirely sure what caveats may exist limiting stations. (Also, fell behind in my already-too-complicated station tracker a long time ago)

    Per Sunhawk in discord, we're limited to 1 sensor shell per turn.

    Turn 135 - Tradition


    Skirmishes with the Black Steel continue as your light units probe their defenses, striking at mining stations in various systems. Casualties continue to be light, with the worst being the loss of a squadron of old Lyr-class corvettes to a Black Steel ambush. So far encounters with heavier units have been sparse and limited to extreme range sparring although you have managed to destroy at least one Black Steel battleship in those exchanges. You’ve lost a few ships, you’ve destroyed a few ships, but all in all the exchange rate has been trending positively.

    Not that it helps you feel better about the casualties, but in a way that is a good thing.

    In general the tactics used seem to have caught the Black Steel a bit on the back foot and there are signs that they are having to scramble to adjust their operations. Your forces have destroyed several dozen mining stations, two small yard complexes, and what appears to have been a munitions dump considering how energetic the secondary detonations were.

    Your forces aren’t even trying to hold on to these systems, hitting and running, striking hard and fast then getting out of Dodge as fast as you can before the sheriff, or in this case the Black Steel, can call up the posse.

    The heavy pace of operations is revealing some minor weaknesses in your logistics, especially in terms of fast transports. The ten Consultant-class vessels are very efficient and effective, but there aren’t enough of them available for the pace of operations. The Navy is working on the issue. Currently there is a bit of a debate over whether or not they should reopen the Consultant production line, or divert Sacramento-class vessels to the job. The Consultant is a well-armed fast transport, after all, and thus can generally take care of itself in combat zones, while the Sacramento is far more vulnerable despite having the same thrust profile while being a far more capable transport.

    Last year’s Olympics were such a significant success that they overshadowed the Japanese Cultural Festival that you sponsored. The festival was still quite successful at the local level, but didn’t quite have the impact you’d usually expect simply because it was having to compete with a wildly successful Games.

    Early economic indicators show a bit of a ‘hangover’, so to speak, after last year's furious growth, with most economic numbers pointing to at least a slowdown, although not a recession. There are some analysts who are going out on a limb to predict a bear market, and some who remain optimistic for the running of the bulls, but the general consensus from those analysts who you’ve found to be reliable and insightful is that things will simply settle around the equilibrium for a while.

    There is, however, one piece of tragedy. Your science advisor, Grace Rivas, who always refused to allow anybody to refer to her as ‘Dr Rivas’ despite her many doctorates, suffered a severe stroke and passed away in her sleep. Fortunately she left behind a very functional and smoothly operating operation, but you still are going to need to replace her on an emergency basis.

    Her current deputy is Dr Steven Byrne, a physicist who has been an administrator for the R&D department for the past fifteen years. Prior to becoming Grace’s deputy he’d been overseeing weapons development projects as part of the Weapon’s Development Board. You’ve met Dr Byrne and he’s… forgettable. He’s sat in for his boss a few times and all you can really recall of him is that he’s efficient and bland.

    Dr Abigail Grois is the current head of the Weapon’s Development Board, with a history of working on various missile systems. She’s considered a bit eccentric by some of her colleagues and has clashed regularly with the Navy over their refusal to mount more missile systems on their ships.

    Dr Grois’ nemesis, of sorts, is Admiral Edward Watts, the head of the navy's design bureau who is one of the premier naval architects behind Admiral Fisher’s building of the Navy. He is personally responsible for most of the work on your latest generation of warships and has a superb reputation for integrity, although he also is known to be rather stubborn and a firm partisan of Admiral Fisher’s.

    Dr Sarah Buchner is a very highly regarded biochemist and medical doctor with a career both in administration and research which has seen her involved in many highly successful projects. Her work includes advances in the treatment of various cancers, especially in pediatric patients, and she currently chairs the genetic engineering ethics oversight board.

    Unlike any of the other potential candidates, Dace Perkins doesn’t have any doctoral degrees nor is he a researcher himself. Rather, he’s an administrator who’s spent his entire career corralling scientists and engineers and getting them to actually work together on the same project. He’s spent the last decade making sure that the mad scientists involved in theoretical KF physics research refrain from blowing up entire star systems.

    **He's not gonna play favorites like the others probably will. The roll is chiefly about administration which he does extremely well. Dace Perkins is also excellent in admin and would be my second choice, but I feel we need him right where he is.

    A full on science administrator with experience getting people to work together? After some of the friction we've had in our council, a peacekeeper would be nice.
