## History

-0177

The Empire plans to send the science starship *Valkyrie* and a scientific team to explore uncharted space for new worlds. The expedition is to be commanded by Midon Arym Gamelial Selket.

-0175

*Valkyrie arrives in the Dion system*
Empire ship *Valkyrie* (captained by Tor Aram Balek Jershon Orr (ee), but under the overall command of Kroman Midon Arym Duncan Merek Garill Mansyn Erik Chisholm).

-0174

*The Valkyrie is damaged by the system defenses.*
Empire ship *Valkyrie* discovers Glish habitation on Dion 1 (Dyon). They work from the *Valkyrie* until Tor Gareth Zorokothor’s team of civil engineers set up a base (The Base or Main Base) deep in The Land of Ice.
The *Valkyrie* is damaged by the ancient weapons platforms as she explores. The Keshatria tows the *Valkyrie* to safety and recovers all but one of the escape pods launched. Most of the personnel are transferred to the Main Base while engineering works on damage control.

-0171

Bamiya Meritneith (De) first accesses the Astral Plane.
Tor Gareth Zorokothor’s team of civil engineers build a storage facility which later becomes Durholm. At this time it merely holds freight containers brought down from the *Valkyrie* and has no power. The number and frequency of the shuttle flights expend alot of fuel and keep the shuttle pilots Odwar Merikhet Anyankha Moran (De) and her husband, Odwar Tomas Jared Grigg Moran to busy to work on their ideas for a powered aircraft to supplement the four ground transports and two "flitters" in transporting the scientists to places they want to study. It was originally thought that the **Valkyrie**'s six shuttle craft would be available for the task, but they are tasked with liaison with the *Valkyrie* and the Keshatria.

-0140

Odwor Sara Anethyna Ruby Arylren with nothing on the **Valkyrie** to repair spends most of her free time with her half sister, Odwor Sara Andoriana Lee Arylren, and her husband, Ishaden Arym Keltan Amhotep Noristan Arylren, the Intelligence Officer for the *Valkyrie'*s marines learning how to prepare marine bodyguard detachments for planet side missions.

-0011

*Valkyrie Destroyed*
Mentotians come close to the system. *Valkyrie* leaves all non-ship combat personnel on the planet and goes off to fight with the Mentotians. Both the Mentotians’ cruiser and *Valkyrie* are destroyed in the battle. All the Shalok agents are among the *Valkyrie*’s crew. The badly damaged Keshatria and many of the fighters and small in systems ships survive the battle. Tar Ronal Garan Dragoin leads them in a search of the wreckage, but finds no survivors. 6,000 (?) survivors left on-planet (including Humans and Shalash). None of the surviving ships are capable of reaching another system let alone returning to the Empire.
Midon Sara Glorianna Selket-Athyr is deep in the jungle with a small party including Odwar Asfur Nefesh Karain (De) *Valkyrie*’s life support officer, when the alert is signaled and is unable to get back to a transport in time to join the *Valkyrie*. Isodwar Aram Jas Amenkhare, Sara Glorianna Selket-Athyr’s pilot, is also left since he waits for her to get to him.
