The Invasion of Sol System
"Strategic battles usually occurred in orbit, not ship to ship battles like in naval fights, but planned and expertly executed orbital combat. The usage of intelligent and guided projectiles and orbital mechanics to an advantage was paramount. Human fighters and dropships where more accomplished in certain atmospheres and planetary based conditions, whereas orbital drones and autonomous combat machines were employed heavily many other places. Nuclear weapons and retrofitted terraforming technology that had been used to make several planets habitable like earth were acquired and adapted for combat. Geologic survey and alteration nuclear charges, orbital lasers for climate control and daytime lighting, fusion-antimatter reactors and other massive, peacetime technologies were organized into the war effort. The aliens seemed very capable of surviving and continuing combat operations after or during these sorts of attacks, but strategies to largely cripple their efforts were refined for efficiency by the end of the war. At the Battle of Olympus Mons for example, the invasion force had begun construction on a massive fortification and mining complex that would have effectively claimed their forces the entity of Mars. The human warships Vengeance Spoken, Justice Commanded and Executor Ordained all focused a targeted orbital assault on the construction, ending in a 40 charge nuclear detonation which vaporized over 500 kilometers of Martian surface. The alien invaders were devastatingly dealt a serious blow, at the cost of severe damage to the human ships. It is generally agreed that this battle stopped what would have become a war ending invasion of Earth by the aliens." - A Common Record and Remembrance of the Invasion of 2400
The Post War Solar System
“As of now, in the Post-Invasion System, humanity and its alien invaders are still frigid with the cold of war. Human colonization past the asteroid belt is primarily stranded and rarely supported by Earth, Mars or Venus, prompting secessionist movements across Jovian and Saturnian moons. Earth, Mars and Venus remain powerful planetary holders and continue to produce arms, patrol their space and monitor the aliens. The aliens themselves, all known twenty six (26) combat types, are still unresponsive to human contact. Partially occupying forces on Mars, Vesta 3, Europa, Rhea and Pluto are either turning stranded and crashed warships into seemingly permanent settlements (or more rather, fortresses) or launching fortifying efforts in territory they’ve acquired. Mining stations, combat holds and ship transport orbits frequented by the aliens, commonly dubbed The Invaders are relentlessly policed and watched from afar by human space commands. As of yet, no major reinforcement operations from distant worlds have appeared.” - Common Guide and Remembrance of the Invasion of 2400
Humanity remains vanguard, always.
Excerpt from the Intergalactic: Unrest on the Frontier
In an interview with the Intergalactic, David Randal (photographed above in his Exo-Multiplatform Unit, or EMU) expressed the viewpoints common amongst spacers in these trying times. “It’s hard work, work that can kill or maim with even the greatest in safety tech. And out here, on the frontier? We’re undersupplied, practically forgotten about. Now rumors of war, whispers of aggressive aliens? The Company has practically abandoned us to the Deep Black.”
Tensions continue to mount as protests Galaxywide have spread to nearly five hundred systems now. We reached out to Haven-Uros-Iln Industries for commentary, and respectfully received none.
