5-Terran Imperium

Terran Imperium invades the Kingdom of Solaria, meeting no resistance whatsoever.  Upon reaching Solaria, they announce the annexation of the Kingdom.  The Queen informs them that they only had to ask and spare themselves the expense of major fleet operations.

Monsos forces black out all communications from the Eastern Frontier to Centadi, striking Vaga Pacum, Solaria, and Trantonos simultaneously. The ships are of a type never encountered before, and the Imperial Fleet struggles to discover just who, and what they are. Fleet Admiral Adex, facing them at Solaria, dubs them "assault carriers" due to their high speed, heavy weapons, and fighter capacity. Meanwhile, Fleet Command on Terra has no idea anything is even happening.

The forward Fleet Supply Depot at Lucania falls in the first attack. Fleet Admiral Adex sends couriers to the last known positions of Imperial forces in an attempt to coordinate a defense.  Scattered units falling back send confused reports back to Fleet Command once out of jamming range.  Fleet Command assumes it is increased pirate activity and that the ships are simply over reacting.

The fleet facility used for the modification of the Leviathan Class Fleetship is attacked, the personnel escaping on the barely functioning L-666 "Lucifer."  Fleet Admiral Adex catches up with them at Centauria as he tries to reach Centadi to warn them of what is coming.

The Imperial Fleet discovers Monsos possesses wormhole technology when Monsos opens a wormhole behind their battle line and throws in 140 assault carriers in a single, simutaneous transit. Bablos houses the largest shipyards in the Imperium, and is responsible for the construction of Leviathan Class Fleetships.

Theodosius IV dies on Terra, and the Admiralty immediately launches a coup against Prince Regent Constantius. Lord High Admiral Hollister is named High Lord and Protector of the Imperium, while Constantius is crowned Emperor on the command ship Imperator in orbit of Campania. Emperor Constantius names Anthony Adex Grand Admiral.

Monsos forces pursue Adex to Centadi, chasing him into the planetary defenses which they were unaware had been substantially reinforced. Now outside of the jamming, Adex confers with the sluggish Fleet Command, who finally realizes what is actually happening.

Fleet Admiral Scholz defeats Hollister in the Battle of Saturn, but is killed in the battle.

Monsos targets and destroys the reactor repair and refueling station at Io.

Emperor Constantius sends a diplomatic message to Monsos, stating "I will not let the galaxy burn again just as it has started to heal.  Come to Terra in five days and fight us face to face, one on one, to the death, and let us be done with this."

Admiral Otto Rauschning of Special Operations deposes Constantius and declares himself Emperor.  Constantius secretly escapes to Remus.

A military pact is formed between Monsos, Mansos, and the minor successor state of Lezinaf.

The obsolete, first generation cruisers readily available to the Remian Republic are no match for the Imperial 10th Fleet, spearheaded by "disposable" Leviathan Class Fleetships.

Imperial 14th Fleet is decimated by the Remian 1st Fleet, which unexpectedly pursues and targets the Imperial supply depot at Silinia.

The Remian 1st Fleet appears at the Terra jump beacon, only destroying a small number of defense satellites before jumping away.  Emperor Rauschning is enraged and presonally assumes command of the fleet from Imperator and heads to the front in person.

While covertly assisting the Remian Republic with R&D, Mark Thomason successfully hacks the Mykentian planetary defense network, gaining full control of the system.

A delegation from the Triad including Andrew Thomason arrives on Mykentia. As the Triad never responded to the surrender of the Second Republic, the representatives of the Triad offer their surrender "to the Legion of Mykentos of the Mykentian Republic." The Legion informs them that as they formally withdrew from the Republic, the members of the Triad are considered foreign powers, and as such cannot surrender to the Legion, only to the Republic.  They reveal that there are representatives of the member Sanctuaries of the Restoration Republic meeting secretly in a nearby system, and offer to summon them.  The Triad reluctantly agrees.

With the Capital of the Republic unsuitable for negotiatons, a treaty is negotiated aboard Leviathan-1 to recognize the independence of the Remian Republic from the Terran Imperium.  Upon signing the treaty, Emperor Rauschning immediately states that the one responsible for the militant crackdowns and conditions that led to the conflict was Prime Minister Black.  He immediately charges Black with a long list of crimes, including multiple counts of high treason and genocide, and condemns him to death by spacing.  The sentence is carried out immediately in front of the shocked delegates.

Under the leadership of the Mykentian Republic, the Free Republic of Sonderia, Freehold of Carpathia, and Zafkarn Alliance form the Council of Non-Aligned powers and declare their neutrality in any conflict.

Clinia, Arago, Atlantia, and Sparta sectors all fall to the Monsos advance within 2 days.

Backed by Monsos Assault Carriers, the Zifarq Military Alliance occupies the Alania, Albion, and Kredos sectors, and push deep into the Recanan Republic.
