NTF Rebellion Day 2
Approximately four hours ago, the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance declared war on the infant Neo-Terran Front - An inevitable decree, but one I hoped would never come. Only yesterday, my dream began to shape and form ; as predicted, our "regional domino effect" gutted the GTVA, and the Sixth Fleet's ships all either proclaimed their new allegiance, or suffered mutinies of varying violence. A nearly bloodless turnover. A good thing, too; there will be enough blood to come.
The GTVA has more resources, better technology, and a larger population than the small, isolated Neo-Terran Front. By the commnets, they expect a quick, early victory. The `net is an interesting place to be, now - neither the NTF or the GTVA has sought to sever the link that allows all Terrans and Vasudans, GTVA and NTF, to argue and bicker over ideology, whereas if they met each other face-to-face, they would likely shoot each other without a second thought...The NTF's only advantages are its talented officers and the will to defend the home systems from marauding GTVA forces. I do not know if it will be enough. I have begun research into various technology that may give is a small advantage over our foe, but I feel that it will not be the deciding factor in the coming war...
I have moved the Iceni from its original post near Freedom Shipyards (where it was built) to a station around the nearest node in-system. The GTVA will come soon, spurred on by war fever. We need to show them that we are serious about our secession..
How d'ya like that? It's more a rough draft than anything else, but you can see I've set up the first mission in the last paragraph..
