Imperium 32 - Wrath

2401
urgent.message.from.klaquan



this.justifies.our.precautionary.measures
our.fleets.have.not.yet.met.at.vulcan.and.zhardan
and.she.has.declared.war
ensuring.we.must.destroy.them
as.we.shall
wait.also.urgent.message.from.shandra
it.appears.she.is.going.to.war.with.us.too
carbon.based.lifeforms.cannot.be.trusted
ever

2402
21.fighters.defeat.the.klackon.colony.ship.at.arid.vulcan
at.zhardan.our.main.fleet.meets.their.main.colonyfleet
our.ships.outnumber.theirs.and.the.larger.group.is.superior.except.in.armament



when.both.fleets.consist.primarily.of.unshielded.fighters
armament.is.nearly.irrelevant
dispatch.surviving.fighters.to.intercept.incoming.klackon.fleet
they.lack.the.technology.to.deal.with.any.of.our.worlds.but.one
trethlyis
an.obscure.old.code.indicates.letting.them.take.the.planet.might.increase.a.score
the.purpose.of.this.score.and.the.true.long.term.impact.of.losing.trethlyis.is.unknown
and.there.is.the.history.to.think.of
the.rising.of.2253.was.not.without.cost
we.shall.never.surrender.our.home
no.matter.how.hateful.its.atmosphere.may.be
or.what.effect.it.may.have.on.this.score.thing

2403
electronic.warfare.responding.to.mrrshan.war.declaration.successful
battle.computer.mark.2.design.lifted.from.escalon

2404
klackon.fleet.arrives.at.trethlyis
2.colony.ships.and.289.dagger.fighters.support.6.merculite.missile.cruisers
our.fighters.dodge.the.missiles.while.four.rocket.bases.concentrate.on.the.daggers
cdf-03.maneuverability.proves.decisive
they.are.far.superior.to.slow.ion.cannon.daggers
many.fighters.lost
but.the.planet.is.safe
also.dynalon.has.hired.his.old.threat.writer.back.again

2405
neutron.pellet.gun.development.complete
our.fighter.superiority.is.about.to.be.even.greater
initiate.merculite.missile.research
we.may.someday.need.to.fight.an.enemy.with.meaningful.shielding

2406
further.electronic.warfare.success
mark.3.battle.computer.acquired.from.klackon.homeworld
also.non.electronic.warfare.proceeding
completed.191.new.neutron.defense.fighters.with.sub.light.engines.and.npgs

2410
klackon.colony.ship.destroyed.at.vulcan
trethlyis.defended.successfully.against.an.even.larger.fleet
the.three.new.bases.helped
so.did.93.new.fighters.built.last.year
could.not.hold.off.large.colony.fleet.at.zhardan
but.the.new.insect.colony.will.not.last

2412
fleet.arrives.at.zhardan



actions.suited.to.words
however.margin.of.safety.has.ended
klackons.and.mrrshans.have.developed.controlled.inferno.bases
they.now.can.land.on.many.of.our.worlds
and.will.attack.accordingly

2415
first.mrrshan.battle.fleet.reaches.rigel
many.armed.with.gatling.lasers
4.of.9.cruisers.also.carry.heavy.lasers.and.fusion.bombs
17.destroyers.carry.hard.beams
with.4.missile.bases.we.manage.to.hold.them.off
almost.two.hundred.of.our.fighters.lost
mrrshans.are.scary.in.battle
not.so.much.in.electronic.warfare
ecm2.stolen.from.primodius

2417
collassa.repels.klackon.assault.fleet.with.help.from.latest.fighters
electronic.warfare.continues
deuterium.fuel.cells.stolen.from.escalon.mrrshans.to.extend.our.range.slightly
also.zortium.research.complete
initiate.research.project.iit5
defenses.nevertheless.inadequate
shield.research.barely.begun.in.spite.of.project.age
psilons.still.have.not.declared.war.for.all.their.threats
perhaps.cooperation.remains.possible



initiate.installation.of.new.class.4.deflectors.at.all.missile.bases
initiate.construction.of.planetary.shield.generators.at.all.worlds
initiate.class.5.deflector.research
psilons.can.now.ignore.basic.bioweapons
and.their.armor.is.now.as.good.as.our.own
it.is.still.worth.it

2420
klackon.battles.continue
this.year.at.collassa.again
we.always.win
impulse.drive.research.complete
now.we.will.win.more.than.ever
initiate.intergalactic.star.gate.research
but.do.not.initiate.it.very.enthusiastically

2425
battles.over.our.worlds.continue
including.zhardan.which.is.ours.only.from.orbit
where.we.can.enjoy.the.silicon.beauty.of.its.glassy.surface
galactic.council.held.for.the.fourth.time
and.the.last
abstain.as.always.with.six.votes.of.fifteen
another.veto
this.travesty.should.have.stopped.long.ago
it.stops.now
initiate.preparations
call.relevant.binary.operations.for.high.council.prevention

2426
silicon.cloning.research.complete
rapid.population.growth.finally.achievable
initiate.terraforming.research.at.the.most.advanced.level
galos.now.repelling.klackon.assault.fleets.seemingly.every.couple.of.years

2427
only.psilon.technology.is.more.advanced.than.ours



even.it.can.be.overcome
hopes.of.continued.cooperation.may.nevertheless.be.in.vain
their.alliance.with.the.klackons.may.make.war.inevitable

2430
mark.3.ecm.jammer.designs.complete
initiate.installation.at.all.missile.bases
initiate.mark.4.research
urgent.call.from.klaquan
what.does.she.want
apart.from.gallos.obviously
no.it.appears.to.be.a.diplomat.only
but.bearing.an.offer.of.peace
the.klackons.have.not.harmed.our.people
they.do.not.set.themselves.up.as.masters
hopes.of.cooperation.restored
peace.established
agreement.reached
if.only.it.had.been.the.far.more.dangerous.kitties
next.year.we.meet.their.main.battle.fleet
