## Overview

The military Solar Watch division is dedicated to watching for Solar flares in all of humanities planetary system and to send out warnings of any flares that will impact a planet that humanity is settled on. Solar Watch command centers are by Sectors and under the same General as Solar Array's to ensure that there is no cross chain problems.

Obviously the Alpha Sector Solar Watch is the most active and critical as Earth is the only planet of humanity that does not met the Planet First guidelines in choosing which planets are settled and Solar Flares are a frequent occurrence.

## Operations

A net of dedicated satellites is positioned around every colony and specialist world in humanities space for Solar Watch's use in determining if any Solar Array staff is in danger from radiation or needs to shut down during a solar storm. Each planet has a dedicated team watching the data that the satellites send them and ensuring that the satellites are working at optimal levels.

Because of the amount of ancient debris in Earth's Solar system and due to the high frequency of activity by the Sun, Earth's Solar Watch often works long hours to analyze the data and ensure that the Solar array is kept function when possible.

### Satellite Net

All satellites are position in pairs so when one needs to be replaced due to either age or damage caused by solar debris, their twin still collects data from that position. Typically, when a satellite needs to be replaced it is delivered near it's final destination and then maneuvers to it's final position, which is a lengthy process. To be able to accurately monitor the sun their final resting place is well within the "drop portal dead zone”.

## 2781 Sequence

When Captain Hansen disrupted and endangered Earth Solar Array in *Array 2781* he was also causing problems for Earth Solar Watch. Captain Hansen caused several delays in sending out replacement satellites for those that naturally aged out or were damaged, when a situation became critical with one of the pairs, he changed the delivery coordinates to be so far out of position that the new satellite was dragged into the orbit of another planet and burned up. For one of the pairs that the senior satellites was no longer functioning due to age, the junior satellite was hit with space debris and knocked out of it's optimal position and it's communications was damaged, this resulted in an ever increasing hole in the net. A mission to bring a new satellite into that position was launched in *Sol 2781*.
