United Principalities

**United** **Principalities**,(Rou:**Principatele Unite**) was the Romanian Union between Wallachia and Moldavia after getting independence in Russo-Turkish War.

On 22 January (O.S.) (3 February N.S.) 1862, the Principality of Moldavia and the Principality of Wallachia formally united to create the **Romanian United Principalities**, the core of the Romanian nation state.In 1866 a new constitution came into effect, giving the country the name of **Romania**. The new state remained nominally a vassal of the Ottoman Empire. However, it only acknowledged the suzerainty of the Sublime Porte in a formal way. It had its own flag, anthem, and (from 1867) currency, and conducted its own foreign policy.

On 9 May 1877 (O.S.) (21 May N.S.), Romania proclaimed itself fully independent, and on 14 March (O.S.) (26 March N.S.) 1881, it became the Kingdom of Romania. After the First World War, Transylvania and other territories were also included.

## **History**

The aftermath of the Russian Empire's defeat in the Crimean War brought the 1856 Treaty of Paris, which started a period of common tutelage for the Ottomans and a Congress of Great Powers—the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Second French Empire, the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, the Austrian Empire, Prussia, and, though never again fully, Russia. While the Moldavia-Wallachia unionist campaign, which had come to dominate political demands, was accepted with sympathy by the French, Russians, Prussians, and Sardinians, it was rejected by the Austrian Empire, and looked upon with suspicion by Great Britain and the Ottomans.Negotiations amounted to an agreement on a minimal formal union; however, elections for the ad-hoc divans in 1859 profited from an ambiguity in the text of the final agreement, which, while specifying two thrones, did not prevent the same person from occupying both thrones simultaneously and ultimately ushered in the ruling of Alexandru Ioan Cuza as Domnitor (Ruling Prince) over the United Romanian Principalities from 1862 onwards.

Though internationally formally recognized only after the period of Cuza's reign,the Union was cemented by Ioan Cuza's unsanctioned interventions in the text of previous "Organic Law". In addition, the circumstances of his deposition in 1866, together with the rapid election of Prussian Prince Carol of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen(who was backed by the increasingly important Prussia) and the Austro-Prussian War in the same time, made applying measures against the Union actually impossible.

Following the Romanian War of Independencein 1877-78, Romania shook off formal Ottoman rule but eventually clashed with its Russian ally over its demand for the South Bessarabiaregion. Ultimately, Romania was awarded Northern Dobruja in exchange for Southern Bessarabia. The Kingdom of Romania subsequently emerged in 1881 with Prince Carol being crowned as King Carol I of Romania.

Ankara

**Ankara**, Turkey's capital, is situated in the north of the central Anatolian plateau. After **Istanbul**, it is the country's second largest city. With its spacious open areas, wide boulevards, skyscrapers and parks, it has the appearance of a modern city. In the 1920's, **Ankara**used to be a small town, but during the Turkish War of Independence led by **Ataturk**, the city was used as a command centre and began to expand.

When it was declared capital of Turkey in 1923, it slowly began to chang, until it eventually reached its present state. The buildings constructed during these years by local and foreign architects, together with the heavy and imposing facades within the city, are easily recognisable. The **Anitkabir** building complex, where the body of **Mustafa Kemal Ataturk** lies, (he was the founder of the modern Republic of Turkey), was designed by **Emin Onat** and **Orhan Arda**. It was built between the years 1944-1953. Also within his complex, **Misak-i Milli Kulesi** and **Inkilap Kulesi**towers. Exhibited in it are **Ataturk's** personal belongings and gifts which were given to him. between the Mudafa-i Hukuk Kulesi and the Cumhuriyet Kulesi towers, one can view Ataturk's book collection.
Byrd class galactic survey cruiser

The galactic survey cruiser is intended for long-range research and reconnaissance missions into uncharted regions. Note the larger number of lab and shuttle boxes and the addition of cargo spaces. These ships were originally built without a drone rack. In Y153, after Orion scientists developed the probe drone, a type-A drone rack was installed. The type-A drone rack was replaced by a type-G drone rack in Y160.

The galactic survey cruiser is a heavily modified variant of the heavy cruiser. The galactic survey cruiser is designed to be used as a commando carrier, but this was apparently not done prior to Y170.

In peacetime, the shuttles are usually admin types, although most carried one heavy transport shuttle. The ship might replace two admin shuttles with ground assault shuttles in special circumstances, such as a planet with particularly vicious wildlife. Some carried one MRS shuttle, although supplies were limited and galactic survey cruisers did not have a high priority. During wartime, some galactic survey cruisers are used as scouts, light carriers, or are converted into
commando carriers. Those galactic survey cruisers not on duty as light carriers would (after fighters were deployed) usually have two fighters (replacing admins) on board to fly escort for the research shuttles. There are no ready racks for these fighters, and they are armed and rearmed under. The deck crews shown with the fighters, but represent the deck crews having been retrained to be able to service and arm the fighters. The ships carried F-8s initially and later had F-18s. They never carried other fighter types F-4s were carried experimentally by the galactic survey cruiser Discovery which proved the carrier concept, but galactic survey cruisers not operating as light carriers never operated that fighter type].

**Seeking weapons:** Prior Y153, the galactic survey cruiser can control a number of seeking weapons equal to half its sensor rating (F3.211); after Y152 the galactic survey cruiser can control a number of seeking weapons equal to its sensor rating (F3.21). See also (F3.213).

'*Refits:* Prior to Y153 there is no drone rack (BPV is reduced by three points). From Y153 to Y159 the drone rack is a type-A drone rack, which is replaced by a type-G drone rack (no change in BPV) in Y160. The plus refit was available beginning in Y165 and was common by Y171. The AWR refit was available in Y170, and virtually all ships had it by Y174. The ship was equipped to operate two fighters as a casual carrier in Y171. The ship received the drone rack refit in Y175.

Death Duel (SH116)

## Death DuelPart of Seltorian Attacks on the Tholians

The Seltorian Expedition simply did not have the production capacity to crush the Tholians itself (much as they would have liked to). On the other hand, with the basic concept of PFs supplied by the Klingons, the Seltorians were able to build substantial numbers of PFs. The PFs were too short ranged to penetrate deeply into Tholian space, but they could and did replace Klingon PFs in raiding the Tholian forward areas. The Tholians, for their part, were desperately trying to find the Seltorian base. Their earlier battles had demonstrated that the Seltorians did not yet have the strength to truly harm the Holdfast, at least while the Klingons still needed so much of their own strength to fend off the Federation, Kzintis, and Hydrans. The result was a series of grinding PF duels as each side sought to accomplish its own ends while denying the other side its objectives. This one was typical.

## Aftermath

More than one of these battles ended with a single PF returning home, the other 11 having been destroyed.

1st Gorn-Romulan War

The Romulans and Gorns encountered each other in Y33. Relations were tense from the first encounter, with the Romulans regarding the reptilian Gorns as an inferior race.

Morkedia III

Orbiting a G2V star similar to Sol, Morkedia III is a Class M planet with significant mineral wealth. It was colonized by a consortium of Martian and Earth corporations in Y148. By the General War (Y171), it boasted an impressive, if small, mining facility producing dilithium, pergium, and other valuable ores. Occupied by the Romulans in Y173, it was retaken by Federation forces in Y179. Morkedia III is one of the rare examples of an analogue planet. Two worlds nearly identical to Morkedia have been discovered: Vespasia in Romulan space and Kzmarn, a mining planet in the Kzinti Barony. The three planets are virtually indistinguishable in mass, size, composition, climate, and cartography, but none of them have native sentient life. Location: 3414.

Location: Sector 3414.

Ambush! (SL35)

## Ambush!

Not all pirates were Klingon allies. In Y163, the Orion clan operating in Klingon territory planned to destroy the battlecruiser *Conquest*, which was patrolling a remote sector. With the *Conquest* gone, the Orions would have several weeks of free rein in the territory, allowing easier access to certain shipping routes. The usual phony distress call was sufficient to lure the Conquest into a "killzone" surrounded by captor mines.

## Aftermath

The *Conquest* was captured by the Orions.

Deng Mel

A human from Nanjing, China, Deng Mei had served as Prime Minister of United Earth at the height of the General War and was a unifying figure popular throughout the Federation. He presided over Operation Unity and the final defeat of the Andromedans. He concentrated on negotiations with the other major powers that heralded both the so-called “Era of Tranquility” and the Trade Wars. Easily reelected in Y204, his second term was marred by domestic political missteps and economic problems that dramatically reduced his popularity.

Inviolable in Action (SH91)

## Inviolable in Action

As yet another Alliance offensive drove toward the Klingon capital, the Deep Space Fleet frantically sought ships which could be sent into action to halt the onslaught. In a moment of particular desperation, the admirals cast their eye on the unfinished battleship *Inviolable*. The hull was essentially complete, but the shipyard was not finished installing the operating systems. Nevertheless, *Inviolable* cleared the slipways and headed for the first and only combat action by a battleship during the General War.

## Aftermath

The *Inviolable* was so heavily damaged that construction work never resumed.

Last Day Of The Bounty Hunters (SH153)

## The Last Day of the Bounty Hunters

The Klingon ISF *701st PF Flotilla*, aka "the Bounty Hunters”, was the terror of the Kzinti border from Y179 through Y183, when the Kzintis finally managed to put an end to them in the battle presented in this scenario. The Klingons had grown overconfident and jumped a Kzinti convoy only to discover that they had made a terrible mistake.

## Aftermath

Kollos survived the battle, but his flotilla was destroyed, and his next command was a PF flotilla of the WYN Defense Force!

Conflict Resolution (SH119)

## Conflict ResolutionPart of War of Return

The final battle of the Second Kzinti Civil War was a titanic duel, a clash between Space Control Ships. One, the Hegemony, personally commanded by the Usurper, the other the Titan, personally commanded by the Crown Prince. The protagonists had agreed to this duel so that the winner would not have to face the Klingons and Lyrans with a fleet decimated by internecine battles.

## Aftermath

The outcome of this battle remains shrouded in mystery. Historically, it is known that both ships survived, and both needed extensive rebuilding. It is known (or perhaps it is only legend) that the two badly crippled ships docked and the crews fought it out claw-to-claw.

But did the Crown Prince win? Or did the Usurper? Or did they both die and some third party take over? Or (least likely in the eyes of Federation analysts) did the Crown Prince and the Usurper strike some sort of bargain amidst the carnage? In the years to come, the adherents of both sides would claim that it was their leader who sat on the throne and the other who died. (One small group claimed it was actually the Count who sat on the throne, although most believe he died in an earlier battle.) The question became something of a friendly disagreement in social circumstances when members of the two factions engaged in conversation, producing no more bloodshed than the controversy over the best baseball pitcher in the 2017 season on Earth. Kzinti behavior is often beyond the understanding of human scholars.

It is known that the WYN-Kzintis were welcomed back into the Hegemony with (apparently) open arms, although a few returned to the Cluster, and some became pirates (It is also known that some non-WYN Kzintis from both sides of the war and from those who remained neutral also went to the WYN Cluster or became pirates. Why this was so also remains a mystery.)

None of the PFs or fighters of either side survived the battle (although a third of the PF crews and half the fighter pilots were later rescued from their various escape capsules). It is believed by Federation analysts that if the Andromedans had not suddenly become a direct threat to the Hegemony, the Civil War would have flared up again. The Andromedan Invasion gave the Patriarch (whoever he was) time to solidify his hold on the throne and eliminate potential problems so that the Hegemony was again secure by the end of the Andromedan War in Y202.

Red Fur led his convoy into Klingon territory on the most direct route to the WYN Star Cluster. After two weeks of uneventful travel, he was intercepted by the Commander of the Internal Security Force, who had detected the operation and wanted the equipment for himself (as the Deep Space Fleet would not allow the Internal Security Force to have advanced equipment).

Invincible Under Assault (SH180)

## Invincible Under Assault

After the successful mutiny of the D6B Destruction, the Klingon Marine Corps took greater precautions in preventing mutinies and in dealing with them after the fact. What follows is perhaps their most grueling training scenario.

The B10 Invincible, having successfully mutinied, is on its way to the border, and the remaining officers and crew are overcoming the security interlocks and reactivating the ship.

While this scenario was deemed extremely unlikely, it was retained by the War College for several years as a reminder of the “worst case” and to impress into the minds of the non-Klingon Marines the futility of attempted mutiny.

It was updated several times as operational data on the B10 became available and as refits were installed.

## Aftermath

The usual outcome of these contests was the successful recapture of the B10, although sometimes the losses incurred by the Klingon forces were ...
excessive.

Katrina Isenhavel

Born on Luna, Katrina Isenhavel was the daughter of Julius Isenhavel, a prominent industrialist and philanthropist, and Rachel Isenhavel-Steiner, United Earth’s representative on the Federation Council. She spent parts of her childhood on Vulcan, Rigel, and Tellar, and was educated at the best universities on Earth and Andor. Seemingly bred for politics, she first came to prominence as the very youthful Minister of Economics late in the Tankanv administration, then emerged as the key leader of the opposition during the Unionist T’ipal administration She took office after the Federalists handily won the Y84 elections on a platform critiquing the diplomatic bungling and foreign policy failures of T’ipal. In some ways, Isenhavel was the first “modern” chairperson, considering herself a citizen of the Federation rather than Earth. Despite her cosmopolitan views and wide-ranging education, her chairmanship brought mixed results. On the positive side, she negotiated a series of commercial treaties with the Klingon Empire following First Contact with that species in Y85.
She felt that the Klingons were natural allies of the Federation, despite the dictatorial nature of their government, due to the threat posed to both powers by the sentient eating Kzintis. Her internal economic policies also succeeded in boosting domestic growth rates. On the negative side, halting negotiations with the Kzintis (who were well-aware of Isenhavel’s attitudes toward them) failed to resolve tensions, and the Hegemony attacked in Y88. Isenhavel had serious problems holding the Federalist coalition together after the Kzintis struck. Forced from the chairmanship after the Y90 elections, she remained in the
public eye, founding the Foundation for Interstellar Union, a private organization encouraging greater cooperation between member worlds. Her work in this regard gave her broad popularity with the public, and she was elected Federation President in Y107. Her public support for the controversial Federation Defense Act in Y113 helped Chairman Rustvem pass the legislation through the Assembly.

A Clash of Brothers (SH27)

## A Clash of Brothers

The semi-independent (and semi-neutral) Lyan Democratic Republic was not always on good terms with the Lyran Empire. A Lyran frigate was probing the LDR border when challenged by an armed freighter. Both sides sent a PF flotilla to back up their unit.

This battle, while typical of several minor episodes, was important that the success achieved here helped pave the way for Count Zarab to reestablish his family's rule of the Lyran Silver Moon County three years later.

## Aftermath

This was just one of many inconclusive border skirmishes between the LDR and Lyran Empire. The details of its outcome are unclear in the original tapes.

Internal Disorder (SH120)

## Internal Disorder

The Tholian Will had existed as an Empire for centuries. This had much to do with the absolute ruthlessness which they applied in maintaining internal order. Any resistance to the Will was crushed without pity or remorse. This was true even when the resistance was that of a Sector Governor and his followers, intent on reforming the Empire into a more humane system. Such incidents were very rare in the long history of the Will, but like any civil war, they were always bloody affairs.

## Aftermath

The Reformer force was scattered by the web laid by the Will forces and then destroyed. The Governor was taken when his flagship was boarded and captured. The Seltorian ships that had joined his cause were exterminated, as was their home hive. The Will forces lost three ships (*Fighter*, *Reverent*, and *Mountain of Devotion*) and had several other ships damaged.

Fleet Of The Moment (SH61)

## Fleet of the MomentPart of General War

In the early years of the General War, the large number of warships constantly on patrol made it hard for the Orion Pirates to maintain business as usual.

A prime example of this occurred in Y172, when an Orion raiding force of the Lion’s Heart Cartel, returning from Kzinti territory to their base, found themselves between Federation and Klingon squadrons preparing for a battle.

## Aftermath

The battle quickly degenerated into a confused melee, and neither the Klingons nor the Federation were ever sure just whose side the Orions were
on. In any case, all of the freighters eventually vanished in balls of flame, though both of the Slavers escaped. Overall, this rather peculiar battle was a draw, both the Klingon and Federation forces retreating with most of their ships severely damaged.

Insatiable Arbitrator (SH164)

## Insatiable Arbitrator

In Y189, the ISC were conducting patrols on the Klingon/ Federation border. The Concordium deployed the Echelon of Judgment to one sector to counter the presence of the B10S *Insatiable*. At this time, in the face of the growing Andromedan threat, both the Klingon Empire and the Interstellar Concordium were interested in maintaining a truce, the ISC for the specific purpose of allowing them to withdraw their ships, the Klingons in order to allow them to concentrate ships for defense against the suddenly growing threat.

The ISC requested a meeting to discuss terms for the truce. The Klingons accepted. It was determined that both sides would send only their flagships to the meeting. As the B10S *Insatiable* and the CCX *Arbitrator* arrived at the rendezvous, both were stunned to find an Andromedan force already in position to attack

## Aftermath

The Andromedans attacked and brought the full weight of their firepower to bear on the ISC CCX, while the Klingons covered themselves with swarms of drones. Badly damaged, the *Arbitrator* finally withdrew. Most of the *Insatiable's* supporting units were destroyed in the battle, but the Andromedans in turn lost most of their satellite ships before they also fled the scene.

The Usurper finally lost against the Patriarch\*, and barely escaped with a few of his ships. Pursued by the Patriarch’s forces, the Usurper fled toward the certain death of the unexplored WYN Star Cluster. He did so as a final act of defiance, denying the Patriarch the final victory, and sparing himself and his remaining followers the humiliation of capture, public trial, torture, and execution.

## Aftermath

The Rebel ships sustained damage, but all managed to hurl themselves to oblivion in the WYN Radiation Zone, burning virtually all of their remaining fuel in a last acceleration to warp seven as they entered the cloud. Perhaps the Loyalists did not push things as hard as they might seeing the inevitable destruction.

The Usurper was surprised to find he, and most of his remaining followers, survived and that the WYN Radiation Zone was hollow. He fortunately entered near a habitable planet and was able to land his survivors. Unfortunately, both the *Eclipse* and *Shadowchaser* were virtually unsalvageable wrecks, but they did provide the materials necessary to establish a working colony and to make repairs to the *YFF17* and *YFF32* and begin exploring what the Rebels soon found to be an immensely wealthy treasure trove of raw materials.

Outside the WYN Cluster, within the Hegemony, the Patriarch used the damage caused by the civil war to centralize control of the Kzinti Fleet. The Patriarch was able to accomplish this in part by offering to accept into his service the defeated Rebel ships and crews who were unable to escape with the Usurper. Indeed, the birth of the Hegemony’s space fleet as a professional military arm (rather than as enforcers for the various feudal lords) dates to this period, and without the unification of the disparate forces of the Hegemony, the Kzintis would probably have been conquered by the Klingons and Lyrans in the Four Powers War.

Gunfight at the Tholian Web (SL64)

## Enter Name Here

Of all the battles I commanded during my tenure as commodore of the Tholian Frontier Squadron, the memory of this
one (in Y169) still makes my blood run cold. A small Tholian convoy had been halted by the 3rd Frigate Squadron, which was one of my patrols. While I admired the fighting spirit of Threlvis Kren, its commander, there are times I wish he had left well enough alone.

In any event, he halted the convoy by damaging the CPC. The Tholians immediately formed a web and went into pinwheel mode. Commander Kren didn't want to get all three of his ships tied down in the web, and knew that no single ship could stand up to all three of the Tholians. The situation was a standoff - the Tholians couldn't leave, but the 3rd Frigate Squadron couldn't destroy them. The Tholians didn't fire their weapons in the hope that Kren would simply leave, and he probably should have. Kren could have considered damaging a freighter and stopping a convoy as an acceptable harassment incident, but he refused to let the fish off the hook. He sent for my support, and I had to chose between backing up one of my subordinates or cashiering him. Naturally, I backed him up, and of course, the *Rockheads* had also sent for help. Moments after I arrived there were a dozen ships in the area, all fully armed and eyeball-to-eyeball, waiting for the other side to blink. We all hoped that the other side would simply back off, but wiith the convoy "trapped" in its pinwheel, we would have had to retreat first, and that was not going to happen.

## Chapter 7.2

This is part of the **seventh chapter** of the *Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi manga* series.

## Summary

Waking up from his nightmare reassures Keyaruga that he has to get revenge on the Sword and Cannon Heroes. However, he resolves that he will continue things past getting revenge, and only then will he go live happily.

On their way to the lawless city of Rannalita, Keyaruga gathers herbs and mushrooms to make potions which they can make money off of. Upon arriving at an inn, Keyaruga detects poison in a jug of water and concludes the city's water source must be poisoned. After ingesting the water and one of the mushrooms, Keyaruga extracts the antibody produced within him along with the medicinal properties of the herbs to synthesize a healing potion from the jug of water. He tells Freia he doesn't plan on profiting off of the antidote, as he has come up with another way to get money in order to buy slaves.

As the two walk through the slums, Keyaruga saves Freia from being kidnapped by two goons, which provokes the rest of a merchant's gang to confront them. However, Keyaruga manages to avoid conflict by getting him to buy the antidote, earning a plentiful amount of money. Back at the inn, Keyaruga decides to get a demi-human slave; when their level cap is increased, they become much stronger than humans.

Blood Feud (SH41)

## Blood Feud

Relations between the Lyrans and Kzintis were never cordial and were marked by many border skirmishes. This battle was interesting because the terrain (an asteroid field) was disadvantageous to both sides due to their secondary weapons (drones and ESGs). It began when two patrolling frigates met and both summoned help.

## Aftermath

In a brief clash, Lyran firepower finally told over Kzinti drones. Kzinti frigate FF115 was destroyed, and the remaining Kzinti ships withdrew to avoid destruction. It was not all one-sided as both the Lyran destroyer and frigate sustained heavy damage and had to be taken in hand for major repairs.

Democratic Party of Korea (North Korea)

**Ideology** | Pro-Unification
 **Assembly** | 34/97

The **Democratic Party of Korea** (commonly referred to as **DPoK**) is the largest political party in North Korea. It was created by Frederick D. Smith and strives to bring democracy to North Korea.

The party was founded in response to the Workers' Party of Korea's failure during the Second Korean War. Following the party's victory in the 1992 election, the party assumed chairmanship of North Korea.
Lordship of Prilep

The **Lordship of Prilep**, also known as the **Realm of King Marko** (Serbian: **Област краља Марка** ), was one of the successor-states of the Serbian Empire, covering (mainly) the southern regions, corresponding (in modern terms) to western parts of present-day North Macedonia.

Its central region of Pelagonia, with the city of Prilep, was held by lord Vukašin Mrnjavčević, who in 1365 became Serbian king and co-ruler of Serbian emperor Stefan Uroš V (1355-1371).

## **HISTORY**

After king Vukašin died at the Battle of Maritsain 1371,the realm was obtained by his son and designated successor Marko Mrnjavčević, who took the title of Serbian king. At that time, capital cities of the Serbian realm were Skopje and Prizren,but during the following years king Marko lost effective control over those regions, and moved his residence to Prilep. He ruled there until his death in the Battle of Rovine in 1395.By the end of the same year, the Realm of late King Marko was conquered by Ottoman Turks.
Holding Out For A Hero (SH23)

## Holding Our For A HeroPart of Federation-Klingon Front

During a widespread battle on the Klingon frontier in Y183, Admiral Phillip Kosnett received a desperate request for help from the tug *Messier*. Klingon raiders had slipped through into the Federation rear areas and were threatening not only the tug, but also several important supply convoys.

Admiral Kosnett could spare only one ship to clean up the area, but he sent the best ship he had, the battlecruiser *Australia* under command of Captain Richard Dewsnap. His orders were to rescue the *Messier*, but to first eliminate any
Klingon raiders in the rear. The Klingon ships Dewsnap found, however, were not looking for more targets, but were trying to keep the *Australia* from rescuing the tug.

## Aftermath

Dewsnap, by dint of a combination of both careful and reckless maneuvering (switching between the two styles as needed) succeeded in reaching the *Messier* before the ship was totally destroyed. The Klingon ships in his way were all severely damaged but managed to limp back to Klingon space as a result of Dewsnap’s need to escort the crippled *Messier* to safety.

En route to cover a raid by the Red Baron Brothers (who operated a pair of light raiders for Pharoah), Deth O'Kay came across a prize that he could not pass up: a slow moving Klingon convoy escorted by only two small ships. While *Pharoah* was nominally on friendly terms with the Klingons, Deth saw no reason to pass up ill-guarded wealth! Before closing to the attack, Deth called his old friend *Spiker*, captain of the salvage cruiser Spiker's Retreat, to come and pick up the pieces. Unfortunately for Deth, the Klingons had a gribatz up their sleeves!

A Little Disruption (SH258)

## A Little Disruption

In Y183 a Jindarian Caravan in Hydran space launched a series of operations apparently designed to drive Hydran mining operations out of a particularly mineral-rich asteroid field. Such operations by Jindarian caravans were not unusual, and accounted for much of the animosity of the various empires towards the Jindarians.

The initial Jindarian operation had been directed at established mining facilities and local security forces, and had been interrupted by the unexpected arrival of the division control ship *HMS Hydramax*, which had fortuitously (for the Hydrans) been passing nearby on its way to refit.

During the second day of the contest, while the *Hydramax* was engaged by the forces attacking the mining facilities, a Jindarian medium strike cruiser struck at the base ship that was searching for the next rich strike.

Unfortunately for the Jindarians, their earlier operations had alerted the Hydrans and the base ship had defenders.

## Aftermath

The *Rockpounder* was badly damaged, but the *Hraith's Guardian* had to disengage with its own damage in the face of Hydran reinforcements.

Aelastok Kirnad

The Federalists won the Y176 elections handily, forcing Baranov’s retirement from the chairmanship. New Chairman Aelastok Kirnad, seeking political unity, appointed Baranov as Minister Without Portfolio, then supported Baranov’s election to the post of President in Y178. Baranov served as a symbol of unity and hope for the remainder of the war.

Kirnad himself turned out to be an excellent war leader. Like Baranov, the Andorian politician avoided military micromanagement and concentrated on tending the political and diplomatic side of the war. His first order was to launch Operation Wedge, which separated the Klingons and Romulans and turned the war around. Kirnad won reelection by a large margin in Y182, but at that point war weariness began to set in as economic strains and the failure of several Alliance offensives hurt his standing. By the time the Organians reappeared in Y185, the pre-war borders had more or less been re-established, with both sides conducting tedious attrition operations that made any kind of strategic victory impossible.

When Kirnad and the Council accepted the Organian proposal to mediate a ceasefire, a political firestorm exploded. Some conservatives claimed that the millions of dead had been betrayed by the cowardly Kirnad accepting a ceasefire that ended the war with no territorial gains, but most agreed that the Federation had never wanted anything more than status quo antebellum. Some liberals claimed that the warmongering Kirnad administration had dragged the war on for at least three years, and that the ceasefire could have been negotiated much sooner without so much additional loss of life. Faced with the collapse of his position in the Council and Assembly, Kirnad called for early elections.

Old Enemies on the Rocks (SH114)

## Old Enemies on the RocksPart of Seltorian Tribunal attacks on the Tholian Holdfast

One of the first battles between the newly arrived Seltorian forces and the Tholians took place in an asteroid field in the Klingon-Tholian Neutral Zone. The Klingons used the field to launch raids on Tholian territory, and the Tholians periodically swept the area to prevent further attacks. In this incident, a Seltorian force was waiting in the asteroids for the orders to launch the first official raid on Tholian space. The raid was cancelled, but the Seltorians had the opportunity (to kill Tholians) that they sought.

## Aftermath

Both sides sustained significant damage before withdrawing.

Justice Denied (SH77)

## Justice Denied

In Y166, the Kzintis offered a destroyer to the WYN in exchange for computer hardware they knew the WYN had recently captured from the Klingons. The deal was set up outside of WYN space (due to the unusual fact that a ship was being traded instead of the standard supplies), but under the condition that the WYNs have overwhelming firepower present to monitor the trade (from a safe distance).

The destroyer was to be unmanned and left adrift in space while the WYN passed a freighter containing the captured Klingon equipment over to the waiting Kzinti ship. In the meantime, the WYNs would commandeer the destroyer and move it into the Cluster. Other details were also arranged to the mutual satisfaction of both parties.

Unfortunately, Straight-Spike-Tail (one of the prime movers in getting the trade set up on the WYN side) was actually a Kzinti agent. As the WYN *KE4 Justice Denied* was moving into position to transport a skeleton crew to the destroyer, Straight-Spike-Tail detonated explosive charges aboard the *OCR Atonement*, leaving it without the use of one of its warp engines. At that precise moment, the supposedly unmanned Kzinti destroyer brought its engines on-line and began to activate its fire control. The Kzinti *CA Nebula* accelerated to engage the *Justice Denied* and the *Atonement* as they tried to make sense of what was happening.

## Aftermath

The *Justice Denied* was destroyed, and the *Unicorn* was damaged. The *Atonement* managed to get its engine working again while the *Nebula* was reloading its drone racks, and it slipped away into the WYN zone after destroying the freighter in an act of sheer spite. Straight-Spike-Tail was rescued by a Kzinti hit-and-run raid in the last seconds of the battle and escaped whatever fate the WYNs would have selected for him.

Justice was indeed denied.
