Operation Beanbag

Operation Beanbag was an joint task force operation conducted by ESRO and Deniksol Starfleet to hunt down and destroy Romulan Star Empire warbirds. It used data stolen during Operation Renegade to locate ships, scan the area and force them to decloak. Over 700 romulan ships were destroyed during the JTFO and it severely damaged the romulan’s ability to defend themselves.
== Location Alpha ==
The first target was the Arretium system, in which a fleet of ships were guarding an agricultural colony. The ships moved in a pincer movement around the ships, and destroyed them with no problem at all and then moved on to location beta, the G’derik System.
== Location Beta ==
The fleet arrived at the G’derik System and began firing on the fleet that was stationed there to defend the shipyard there. The fleet put up more of a fight, however, and destroyed 4 ships, and damaged the Aotearoa with a lucky shot that hit the engines when they were about to do a rolling manoeuvre. However, the romulan fleet was destroyed and the fleet moved to the next location, the T’liss System.
== Location Gamma ==
The next location was the T’liss System, which contained a major shipyard and a scimitar dreadnought. 6 SBIC ships were destroyed when the dreadnought fires a thalaron pulse at them, but the the losses were quickly avenged when all the ships focused fire on the dreadnought, which brought about it’s quick demise. The battle went on and a single SBIC ship was disabled and then finished off, but the fleet and shipyard there was eventually destroyed. Afterwards, the Aotearoa reunited with the fleet after finishing repairs, and the fleet headed to the next system, the T’varo System.
== Location Delta ==
The fleet then headed to the next location, the T’varo System, where a small shipyard was based. There was a small fleet here that was quickly taken out by the larger force that had arrived there. The shipyard was also destroyed, and a work-in-progress scimitar was quickly destroyed too.
== Aftermath ==
The attacks had proved fatal to the romulans- they had lost two of their 3 remaining shipyards, and they lost a huge portion of their fleet. They were now down to less than 1000 ships, and without their shipyards, they would never be able to grow their fleet again.
