The last outer world colony to be established was on Saturn's moon Titan. Titan was colonized in 2060 by three companies looking to secure mining rights in the Saturn system.

The IF and the PRM strike a deal over asteroid supply. The first spaceship is made by PRM with EC help.

One year after the disappearance of the Gilderstein L5 lab, intelligence about the disappearance has been confirmed. Plans are made for the Verenigde Rimwaartse Compagnie VRC.

The IF and PAU clash in north-east Africa over water rights. The EC sponsor a peace initiative backed by a threat of force.

The PRM takes many new colonists from the IF displaced by war and water shortages. The PRM starts to promote immigration. Many leave the poverty of earth for the mothering arms of the PRM's socialist policies.

Advances in materials technologies and design combine to make the GEV the quietest vehicle on the modern battlefield.

The UTT is reorganized into the Inter-stellar Trade, Transport, and Telecommunicaitons (ITTT). The Mimas Shipyard is opened.

With with the advent of FTL travel, interest in colonizing the rest of the solar system waned. Although mining complex hydrocarbon compounds on Titan became a profitable industry, Titan never gained enough colonists or resources to become fully self-sufficient. Because of this, Titan depends heavily on trade with Earth, the other colonies in the solar system, and the colony worlds.

PRM ships destroy the private mining platform "Julie's Daughter" in the belt. The platform was registered by the AF, this provokes a short inconclusive war.

The VRC is formed. Its initial charter is to be a deepspace exploration company which will exploit any valuable mineral, metal and biological resources it can find.

ITTT contracts with the AF and EC to provide exclusive trans-stellar transport of people and goods to the new AF and EC colonies. Exception clauses for governmental and military transportation and weapons). This forms the basis for all future ITTT contracts.

IAS participate with the UN in exploration of near space. IAS claim two small planets, Adelie and Bellinghausen, and start colonisation efforts.

EC survey team discovers habitable planet orbitting Kappa Fornacis and names the world Harzweld. They also discover the marginally habitable moon orbiting the innermost gas giant in the system and name this Gryphon.

VRC's first mining operations have started in a remote system. Investments are high, but profitability is expected within 5 years.

The EAU launches its first FTL ship and renames itself the Eurasian Solar Union (ESU).

[RH] Joseph I abdicates in favour of his son, Peter, expressing a desire to travel amongst the stars.

A small research post is established by the EC on Harzweld. Star systems CD-26'828 and CD-23'693 are surveyed.

EC/AC agreement allowing the colonization of Harzweld by deported Central American colonists and ex-military Anglian volunteers. The colony is officially administered by the EC, but most local officials are AC.

The LLAR launch their first FTL craft, as does the IC.

The AC launch the first true combat starship, the HMS Thunderer, from the Lunar orbit shipyard on 07.10.2076.

A converted PRM ore hauler becomes the first PRM ship to make a hyperspace jump. PRM ships begin the search for a "New Motherland" that can supply PRM with the things Mars can not provide.

[RH] Joseph Nikolaevich Romanov, formerly Joseph I, is the first man to explore the star system which he names Rodina. The second planet is discovered to be a garden world which he names Duma.

A wave of colonists seeking independence from the AC Crown from the region formerly known as the southern United States (mostly Virginia and the Carolinas) immigrates to Harzweld (EC).

By this date most governments and independant colonies have followed the example of the AF and EC and signed exclusive inter-stellar transport contracts with ITTT.

First VRC owned FTL ship is launched as company diretors decide that dependence on ITTT is a potential risk to the stability and profitability of the company.

NBC helps to rebuild the North American communications net.

ITTT expands into the area of trans-stellar communications relays. Using a combination of unmanned FTL couriers and a network of communications hubs, ITTT begins to provide express communication between major colony worlds.

Joseph returns to Duma and founds the first RH colony.

Wolf 424's innermost planet settled as a dumping ground for Ukrainians unwilling to accept either Chinese or a Russian master

NBC employees Swiss mercenaries to invade the PAU to liberate Boers that were "suffering under an oppressive government that is digging up old hatreds."

[RH] Joseph dies on Duma. He is the first Tsar not to be buried, as his body is sent into the star, Rodina, in compliance with his last request.

Romania, disgusted at French domination of the EC signals the beginning of its end by withdrawing from the EC and petitioning the RH for membership.

System G1 511.2 is surveyed and planet PB 511.4 is discovered by the VRC. Planet has potential, but will need some terraforming.

The PAU strikes back at FOC by attacking thier space-based assessets. In response the FOC form the FOC High Fleet Command.

IAS purchase a few old naval ships from various powers to protect shipping from privateer raids.

Free Ukraine Confederation (FU) declare independance from the ESU.

FOC settles its second colony at Nue Durban.

A large wave of German colonists fleeing unrest and conflict in the Franco-German border states arrives at Harzweld (EC).

Very soon, border incidents between the NSL and FSE about territorial claims on Earth and the other settled worlds intensify into open warfare. Initially the war goes well for the FSE as they overrun the NSL Inner Colony settlements of Trelleborg and Flensberg, followed by the taking of the Outworld colonies of Wittenberge, Kecel and Lienz after brave resistance from their colonial militias. On Earth Baden Wurttemberg, Bayern and parts of the Rhineland swiftly fall to FSE armoured thrusts.

AE delcares independance from the EU and fends off an attempt to "subdue the rebellion".

The FOC aligns itself with the FSE against the NSL.

The RH remains officially neutral during the FSE-NSL wars that follow, but is widely perceived as being more than just sympathetic to the NSL.

Immigration to Harzweld (EC) slows considerably after the final separation of the EC into the NSL and FSE. Harzweld falls under NSL administration, though there is a sizeable proportion of the population agitating for independence.

Further FSE advances into Germany falter as NSL forces under General Janos Matthias halt the FSE armour at the battle of Breznice. An attempted counter-thrust by NSL units is a bit of a non-event, only succeeding in regaining territory up to the Danube.

The Krigsraumflotte, the space force of the NSL is officially established with a handful of primitive ships from the dividing of the European Space Force. This new force consisted of a very few newly-built FTL-capable vessels and a number of in-system ships.

In late 2102 the Netherlands [RDC] (which had been at best an unwilling "associate member" of the FSE since the UFE's collapse) breaks all ties with the FSE; refusing an offer of alliance from the NSL, the RDC reassert their independence and eject all FSE influences from their homeland and colonial possesions.

FSE battlegroup captures the AE world of New Lisbon. The occupation ends when the anti-matter plant in New Lisbon City detonates destroying the city and several ESU warships. The small AE navy is able to chase the remaining FSE ships out system.

The FSE/NSL war on Earth eventually makes its way to Mars. Pro-NSL forces clash with pro-FSE factions within the PRM colony. The PRM army moves in to keep the peace. The weaker NSL factions welcome the move, but FSE forces resist.

System GJ 1165 is surveyed by the VRC. It contains one habitable but harsh planet(PB 1165.1). Terraforming is again recommended.

Habitable moons discovered in the CD-36°B013940 system (a binary named Naveh and Miksam Shav – Oasis and Mirage) by NI explorers. Orbiting the gas giant Goliat, the two colony worlds are named Metzada (a forest world) and Yafo (an ocean world) respectively. Gehenem, an Io-like world in close orbit around Goliat, is rich in resources, but hazardous to exploit.

The FSE send a battle-worn and half repaired fleet to "liberate" the oppressed pro-FSE peoples in the PRM. The PRM Red Banner Fleet easily defeat this half-hearted attempt. After this the last pockets of pro-FSE resistance in the PRM colony are crushed.

NSL signs an agreement with the PRM for the supply of asteroids, part of the agreement specifies that the PRM will not supply asteroids to the FSE.

The AC launches the Dominator class Battleship. This is the first warship to include grav-equipped warship.

The Scots Republic (SR) is founded as secessionists of Scottish descent leave the AC.

A colony, mostly made up of English-speaking people from Harzweld (NSL), is founded on the inhabitable planet in system CD-26'828. The world is named Neuwich.

The AC jumps an asteroid from Albion to Earth.{Official, PRM, TBA}

Calls for increased UN defence spending, by the independant colonies, fall on deaf ears of the major powers.

The NSL launch thier first designed warship, the KRS Wien. This design served the NSL well until the late 2130's.

New Minsk, the third planet of the Rodina System is the scene of the RH's first attempt at Terraforming.

Increasing numbers of asteroids are jumped from outside the Solar System to Earth. Its quicker to jump the rocks via hyperspace from another star to Earth than it is to drive them conventionally from the belt to Earth. {PRM, TBA}

The three companies operating on Titan and among the moons or Saturn merged to form the Titan Corporate Collective (TCC) in 2110, the fiftieth anniversary of Titan's colonization (fueling a renewal of the rumor that the colonization of Titan was the result of a competition between three wealthy investors). The population on RM began to grow very quickly, prompting an increase in terraforming and the construction of new and larger colony domes. Cargo ships transporting ice from the asteroid belt and Jovian system arrived at RM weekly, and RM supplied those colonies with food from engineered crops and all manner of equipment, from household goods to airlocks (which, in many colonies, were almost household goods themselves).

A PRM attempt to jump an asteroid in system ends in disaster, the jump is mis-calculated and the rock appears only 200km from the moon. This is too close for Earth defence stations to do anything about. Due to the close proximity of a large mass the warp exit point distorts ripping the rock in to fragments, this doesn't stop the debris wrecking the FSE "De Gaul" research station and killing over a hundred FSE workers. The disaster precipitates a brief war, for a short time the FSE controls Novo Moskava until the FSE fleet is beaten off by PRM reinforcements. The UN De Gaul treaty is signed by all members of the UN. It "prohibits the transportation or redirection of asteroids or comets for commercial or military purposes." Asteroid mining returns to the traditional practice of "in place" mining.

The PRM's declining economy prompts a huge exploration and cataloguing mission to survey the entire belt in search of rare minerals that Earth's nations will be prepared to buy, year long wait or not. This is supplemented by a push to explore as many worlds as possible looking for new mining opportunities. The PRM also starts to sell its mining expertise to other nations notably the NSL and IF.

Czech colonists from the NSL begin to arrive on Harzweld and Neuwich (NSL). The NSL encourages this emmigration as it appears to relieve political tensions at home. This wave of colonization is larger than the previous ones and lasts until 2124.

IAS produces the first of thier "Modular Merchantmen" ships.

System LTT 4772 is surveyed by the VRC. Two planets discovered in the same orbit and seem perfect, as no terraforming is deemed necessary. Scientists conclude that these planets have already been terraformed and placed in this orbit, which information is quickly made top secret.

First reported hiring of FU ground troups was to counter the Islamic Federation offensive in the New Sicily system (Ross 128)

PRM breaks diplomatic relations with the ESU in protest to its "attacks" on the IF. Part of the diplomatic settlement preventing all out war is the offer of transportation of Indian Muslims to the fledgling PRM colonies.

During the confusion and posturing associated with the secession of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia from the NSL, Harzweld and Neuwich (which changes its name to the Anglicized Newich) declare themselves independent from the NSL. The two worlds form the Far Stars Union (FSU) and lay claim to system CD-23'693 (a system also claimed by the FSE).

In a move necessitated more by the exigencies of local politics than the moral or strategic situation, the FSU pushes its claim on CD-23'693 and plants a significant colony on the system's second planet, naming the world Neu Pilzen. Many of the Czech-speaking inhabitants of Newich move to the new colony. The FSE responds by mounting a punishment expedition against Harzweld, blockading the planet. This response galvanizes the FSU, which declares war on the FSE. Raids by FSU-flagged vessels and privateers (in addition to worries over a possible NSL response) draw off sufficient forces to make the FSE blockade ineffective.

One hundred years after the effective destruction of Israel by Arab terrorist groups, the Jewish government on the colony of NI renews the pledge of never-ending war against the anti-Zionists. To date this  war  has largely been the province of NI Intelligence and Special Forces, but Rabbi Avraham Yoffe's public statement that the Jewish state would each and every opportunity to avenge the destruction of their homeland actually marked the start of Operation Jericho, during which NI Interface and Airborne units assaulted and destroyed several IF bases on the Inner Colonies.

The IF and PAU clash over spheres of influence in space. The FSE enforces a peaceful solution.

AE squadrons raid PAU installations, attack shipping, and provide information to the IF.

Mega corporation SETAG slaughters 156 IASian navigators, engineers and scientists in the name of corporate trading.

In a remarkable commando action, the FSU manages to steal a carrier from FSE dockyards.

The FSE/FSU conflict sputters to an inconclusive end. The ESU sponsors a treaty which both belligerants sign. The FSU purchases ownership of Neu Pilzen from the FSE, pays for the stolen carrier, and purchases another carrier.

Brief but viscous war over a world named "Mao" by the PRM and "New Sussex" by the AC, the PRM's small fleet is forced off by the much larger AC fleet.

The AC renames itself the New Anglian Confederation (NAC) and revises its Constitution to include all related colonies as independent members.

ESU forces invade NAC settlements on Salzburg, but are repelled with heavy losses after fierce fighting. The important NAC Outworld base on Lancelot is taken by an ESU Naval Infantry Assault Division, and an inconclusive skirmish between NAC and ESU space units off Grendel signals the start of major Naval offensives by both sides.

IF and NI forces skirmish along trade routes that skirt war zones. Both NI and IF mercenaries are hired by various groups, but having learned the lesson, never by the same group.

FOC and SC remains neutral in the First Solar War.

During this period the Independent State of Ceres (ISC) began to consolidate its power, bringing other belt colonies into a loose organization. This was despite claims that ISC was covertly supporting pirate groups; in fact, almost all of the colonies in the asteroid belt were covertly supporting pirate groups, typically by providing supplies or shelter. However, the belt colonies were careful to only support pirates who preyed on non-colony shipping.

The NAC launch Operation Jester, a counter-thrust against the ESU; ESU possessions on Mariana and Trelleborg fall rapidly, but an attempt to take the major colony of Chiang is beaten back. An attempt to retake Lancelot also fails with heavy losses to the NAC 2nd Drop Cavalry.

A year after the start of the First Solar War, the charter of the VRC is changed to include the discovery of remote planets and the resettlement of people to these planets.
Terraforming of planet PB 511.4 is started after the necessary technology is quietly acquired by the VRC. Main base is being moved to System G1 511.2, and a shipyard is started. Biotech and other research programs are started to achieve an independent knowledge base for future terraforming projects. Work begins on the creation of a spiderweb of dummy corporations and front offices to obfuscate the real economic and military assets of the VRC.

Rumors surface regarding a NI supership under construction in a secret location. Its purpose is unknown, though sometimes it is associated with the name "Shilum" (retribution). Sources differ - some deny its existence, some swear they have seen the construction facility, others believe it is a false lead away from other secret projects, and still others believe it is a disinformation campaign designed by enemies of the state to stir up distrust of NI.

[RH] Tsarina Catherine III dies of natural causes after a long, relatively peaceful and prosperous reign.

Construction of warships in the SC slowed at the end of the war in 2142, and came to a standstill with the formation of the UNSC. Although at first hardly able to enforce the prohibition against space conflict in the Core systems, the Sol colonies were eager to avoid conflict with UNSC forces. The colonies were also willing to let someone else deal with the pirate attacks.

ITTT leases the base and shipyard on Mimas to the UNSC.

ITTT leases the base and shipyard on Mimas to the UNSC.

LTT 12352 explored by a UN survey mission.

Tsar Michael I gains the dubious honour of being the first Head of State to disappear in a misjump from Rodina to Terra.

FOC is drawn into the Second Solar War due to ties with the FSE. FOC is brought to bear primarilly against the NSL, ironically often in conjuction with the PAU.

NI stays out, but supplies mercenaries to various parties. Indecisive conflicts with IF ships are commonplace. Despite these frequent military clashes, NI sees a dramatic increase in imigration from Earth and the Inner Colonies during the war.

SC declares neutrality.

Combined population of all PRM worlds exceeds one million. The population is growing rapidly but there is still a huge job surplus in the PRM economy. Many PRM ships are running on half or less crews.

The Ceres Hegemony (CH) is formed, with the pirate fleets being quietly incorporated into the CH navy

The Jovian colonies formed the Jovian Alliance. (JA).

Terra-forming of the fourth planet in the Rodina system (RH), Bodkin, begins.

Terraforming of planet PB 1165.1 by the VRC is started. First large scale immigration to the still harsh planet PB 511.4.

With the formal unification of the Jovian and Ceres colonies, the government of RM began to consider the prospect of a more informal unification of the SC as a whole. The TCC began to push for such an organization; although rarely threatened, they believed that it was only a matter of time before a power bloc attempted to capture Titan, despite UNSC protection. Mars proposed the alliance in 2150; years of heated debate followed. However, the debates focused on the terms of the alliance rather than the idea, or necessity, of an alliance.

The constant warfare of the past eight years proved compelling enough to convince the SC to form a loose alliance. As the Lunar colonies declined to join, the alliance came to be known unofficially as the Trans-Belt Alliance (TBA). As no more acceptable name was proposed, the name became official when the CH, Republic of Mars (RM), JA, and the TCC signed the documents of alliance in 2154.

Taking advantage of the losses of the NAC in the Second Solar War the PRM re-takes "Mao". The small indigenous population is removed and scattered around other colonies for "political re-education".

Alexander IV (RH) dies from a virus that swept through the population of Stolypin, the second moon of Duma, whilst he was on an official visit. Analysis by the Okrana reveals that the virus was, surprisingly, a natural mutation. 30% of Stolypin's population die before antibodies are found. The virus finds its way to miners of the Redemption asteroid field and both settlements are put under strict quarantine until a vaccine for the Stolypin Plague, as the media named it, is discovered late in the year. Mass distribution of the vaccine is helped by UNSC hospital ships. ITTT, in a goodwill gesture, provides free transport for shipments of the Stolypin vaccine and medical volunteers.

Following long negotiations, the Second Solar War is finally ended with the treaty of Khorramshahr.

The FOC becomes the Free Orange Republic FOR.

PAU was not able to realize its dream of a corridor between earth and it colonies. The war left the PAU nearly broke and its government in turmoil. PAU was left split as part of its colonies formed the Commonwealth of African States (CAS). The government falls at the end of the year.

The year began with a vote of no confidence (in the CAS)for the new government after 90 days of failures and civil unrest growing each day a new government is formed. By the end of the year the government has stabilize.

Pirate Yoffim harass IF shipping and colonies, working to destabilize IF economies and politics. Unconfirmed rumors within NI hint that the outlaws receive secret funds and materiel through NI intelligence.

PRM becomes one of the first nations to recognise FCT, though relations sour quickly once ideological differences become apparent.

Large scale immigration to VRC's planet PB 1165.1 starts.

IAS launches first dedicated warship of its own design.

NAC retakes "New Sussex" from the PRM in a lightening campaign.

While the CAS colonies recovered in short order the real problems were centered close to home. A cargo ship carrying a plant virus cashed near the city of Bamenda in the state of Cameroon causing an ecological disaster. As the virus spread people began leaving their farms and small villages in search of food. When warehouses began running low on food, rioting broke out all over western Africa requiring the PAU army, whose loyalty was in question, to be called out to restore order. To save lives, thousands of people had to be uprooted and moved to the colonies. CAS accepts 500,000 refugees.

During the IntraArabian war a small IF colony on CD-37°B015492, populated mainly by the descendents of the displaced Jordanian population, breaks away from the IF and renames itself New Jordan (NJ). NJ becomes an economic, and sometimes political ally of NI. In following years, NI military vessels are seen in joint maneuvers with the NJ defense force.

An attempt to recapture NJ is defeated. The IF force sent expecting to encounter a small local defense fleet, is instead decimated by a combined NJ/NI defending force. The victory is credited to advanced intelligence gathered by NI's Mossad.

The FSU declares its neutrality and orders the NSL to remove its forces from FSU space. The NSL grudgingly complies, but begins creation of a secret supply facility in a nearby uninhabited system.

The CAS takes its place on the Council of State with ten delegates representing CAS takes their seats as parliament open its session. Third Solar War begins; PAU declares itself to be neutral, but places the army on general alert.

FOR attempts to stay out of the Third Solar War, but have a number of clashes with the NSL.

The start of the Third Solar War starts the move within the VRC to create a second major base of operations in System LTT 4772. Massive resources are required so mining operations and immigration are stepped up significantly.

PRM takes advantage of the NAC's entanglement in the Third Solar War to re-take "Mao". Although not a major front the PRM are a constant drain on NAC forces for the next 2 years.

NSL Ships, based at a secret supply base near FSU space, launch raids into FSE space.

Blaming the FSU for attcks by NSL vessels, the FSE launches limited reprisals against FSU shipping. A FSU scoutship finds the NSL supply base. After much deliberation, this information is transmitted to the FSE. A FSE assault on the supply base is defeated by the NSL, which was apparently tipped off by FSU informants. The FSE blames the FSU and threatens to declare war. The FSU forestalls FSE action by declaring war on the NSL. A surprise strike by FSU ships severly damages the NSL base. NSL forces temporarily evacuate the area.

A similar insurrection in Compville fails.

PRM signs a secret peace agreement with the NAC ceding "Mao" and a couple of other colonies to the PRM. The PRM then launches a surprise attack on the very lightly defended FSE colonies on its border.

PRM starts is "integration" policy, captured colonists from the NAC worlds are transported to ex FSE worlds and visa versa. The PRM throws its self open to refugees from the war using such people to dilute the NAC and FSE contingents. The large military garrisons required in the border areas contain this highly explosive mixture.

A series of border raids, against the CAS beginning in 2170, were first attributed to IF forces, which had been quietly masking troops along the CAS / PAU borders. By 2179 PAU was having second thoughts about who was causing the raids. The raids were well organized and timed which did not suit the IF usual methods as raiders. Efforts to find a diplomatic solution were frustrated by the IF’s refusing to meet with the PAU or any government. Local militias are place on standby; a general alert is issued to all colonial governments.

The war enters a relatively quiet phase, with most protagonists involved in little but minor skirmishing and diplomatic posturing. The major powers use the next few years to consolidate and rebuild their depleted forces, and an uneasy state of "peace within war" ensues.

A copmbined FSE/FSU fleet forces the withdrawal of NSL ships from around Neu Pilzen. This allows the FSU to add additional heavy ground units from Harzweld to the fray. A few months later, a strengthened NSL fleet enters the system. Surprisingly, instead of landing additional forces, the fleet retrieves the Shutzen Regiment and withdraws. While FSU and FSE attention has been focused on Neu Pilzen, the NSL has established a network of hidden supply bases between the FSE and FSU. Vessels operating from these bases conduct an intensive anti-shipping campaign.

2173.02.18 Fundamentalist controlled and unified IF launches an assault against NI with the sole goal of rendering the planet Gan uninhabitable. The IF force is turned back at the cost of 2/3 of the NI fleet. Not a single ortillery shell or enemy landing craft makes planetfall on NI. The tide of the battle is ultimately turned when the Yoffim, not seen for over five years, jump in and open a new battle line to the flank and rear of the attackers. The hulking Shilum makes its first and only appearance in combat, being destroyed in the final melee. A series of unclaimed assassinations of IF leaders associated with the attack follow over the next year. NI recalls most mercenary units, and calls in political and military ‘favors’ in an effort to rebuild its defenses quickly. NI policy towards IF now focuses on denying the IF the ability to make war on NI, classifying most IF FTL capable tugs and all FTL military ships of Destroyer class and higher as imminent security threats.

With interstellar trade severly restricted due to NSL raids, the FSU sues for peace. Conflict with the FSE had never been popular, as most of the population has more ties tro the NSL and NAC than the FSE. Angered, the FSE refuses to withdraw its forces from FSU space and several minor clashes occur. The FSU declares war on the FSE and invites the NSL back into its space. FSU forces sieze the damages FSE battleship "Resistance".

A major accident didn't happen in a high security VRC xenobiology lab which didn't exist. In order to limit the non-existing, damage, the lab wasn't destroyed by an anti-matter bomb, which is technology the VRC don't possess either.

Three small worlds - New Caledonia, Ulster Prime, and Dalriada, are freed from NAC rule by Charter in 2178 to form the Confederation of Celtic States (CCS). By Charter the CCS is responsible for all-things domestic, but must provide a set number of millitary units to NAC High Command each year, or pay NAC taxes. They are allowed to maintain a small defense force, of NAC approved warships. What the NAC and the CCS define as a "small defense force" differs and has caused some misunderstandings.

Tsar Michael II (RH) abdicates in favour of his son, Joseph, no reason is made public. Within two weeks of his abdication, the death of former Tsar, Michael II, is announced to a shocked Hegemony.

ESU attacks the RWC world of New Virginia. RWC breaks off all trade with ESU.

A half-hearted offensive by FSU/NSL forces against FSE colonies is turned back when the obsolete FSE dreadnought "Beneficeince" and its escorts surprise the fleet's supply and maintenance squadron and either capture or destroy all but one support vessel.

On Kayleigh, NSL and NAC armoured forces are defeated by LLAR mercenary units; General Heinrich Vortsheimer, leading the Allied troops, is relieved of his command following this ignominious reverse.

The ESU lands Khalifate mercenaries on Tsitsihar to reinforce their offensive against RH units in the colony.
