Just some general information on the events before and after the construction of the GTDc DeusDI. All they are, are ideas.

0SC(Sol Charon)Charon Built, Sol Military defeated.

70SC Vega Defence grid started, consisting of minefields, thousands of small Mini-beam sentries. Asteroid emplacements complete with Mission Racks and Meson Beams. Beam sentries are scattered around the grid in formations. 45 Asteroids are converted into Hangers. Large Charon type installion built at the site of the former node, with specialised power production facilities. An Iris is built into it and its also Heavily defended, to defeat anything comming from Capella. A special Meson bomb is created to collapse the node in case of disaster.

75SC Vega Defend grid finished, Sol's economic power grows rapidly due to mining ventures gained through the construction of Charon type devices.

80SC Vega Defence Grid expanded.

120SC Capella node reopened..Shivans found in highly radioactive nebula. The 14th Battlegroup is sent to counter Shivans. Sathanas found in Nebula, 3 GTD Goliaths destroy it. 70 odd Sathanas make for Vega. Suicidal attacks destroy 4, but the 14,15 and 12th Battlegroups are destroyed utterly. The node cannot be closed in time, Entire GTVA Armada makes a stand behind the Vega Defence Grid.
The Juggernoughts arrive and one by one they are destroyed, unable to warn the other Juggernaughts each Sathanas meets its fate. 69 of the once power craft litter the battlefield, but the Vega Defence Grids main structures are seriously damaged. Reports indicate the GTVA Vega Defence Grid was a total success, but due to resources constraints it cannot be expanded any further. Sathanas are stilled classed as a danger to mankind as should they enter from any other node without a defence grid, our fleets would be wiped out.

121SC Vega/Capalle Iris closed and information on the system is classfied at the maximum level. Rumours circulate about possible discoveries in Capella.

125SC New mineral desposits discovered. AI advancement accelerates and the GTF Predatorz is completed. The first fully function AI fighter.

130SC GTD DDI development begins.

140SC GTD DDI Construction Begins

165SC GTD DDI construction complete and loaded with over 240+ Fighter and Bomber Wings.

170SC Rumours of Taskforce to Capella persist.

175SC Vasudans start to reset the Terrans building of the Vega Defence Grid and Charon devices.

180SC Rogue Vasudan fleets blockades Sol node destroying the Charon but they take serious losses and pull back to Deneb. GTD DDI enters the fray for its first Military engagement. 12 Vasudan Capital ships are lost, destroyed by the 70th Blue Lions, the Screaming Banshee's and other Bomber Squadrons.

182SC Taskforce sent to Vega- Present Day.

Wow - I'm impressed, dude - you only mentioned hangars or fighter squadrons twice!  

Seriously, that's a really neat outline - I really like it.   BTW, here are some excerpts from the FS1 SHIPS.TBL that may be of interest concerning past Goliath's:

 

From the Hermes Escape Pod entry:
The Hermes Escape pod has been used since the destruction of the GTD Goliath over 12 years ago. They are used by the crews of destroyers and installations to escape destruction. It is always best to be prepared.

 

From the PVF Anubis entry:
The Anubis is the weakest fighter in the Vasudan Navy.  However, they are extremely cheap to manufacture, and are often used in swarm situations to try to overwhelm the opponent with numbers.  A few radical Vasudans have been known to load the ship with explosives and attempt to steer themselves into GTA capital ships.  The first occurrence of this was the battle of Rexias 4, where the GTD Goliath was destroyed by a squadron of kamikaze pilots.

Yeah, im going to build the Goliath, the Sentries, the asteroids and i'll have to get the Charon when it comes out. Im not going to add any more to it unless i actually did the campaign but anyone else can use this(with credit) and add to it. I might refine the years a little though.

There was also a Shivan Cain cruiser called the SC Goliath.
