Jethanis Incident

[Siirenias]

Stardate 2439.5

Ship capture continues apace, taking no less than two battleships and a number of destroyers with the arrival of two more capture squadrons. Obsolete yet fascinating destroyers are taken apart for analysis, and although organic shipbuilding and armor are currently beyond reach, token levels in medium light ships have been acquired.

After a brief repair period, USHF 1 shall hunt down the weak source of fresh supplies in the system and conquer it, while the capture dreadnoughts and more nimble capture cruisers continue to mop up after the heavy enemy force.

Stardate 2439.8

About half a score of destroyers managed to escape the system on minimal power, but another 16+ destroyers remain in the system.

In addition, a pair of battleships, a few light cruisers, and many destroyers have been taken, and most are slated for the breakers. The economy is in horrifically good shape, so all of them have been designated for scientific analysis.

Along with these, a pair of captured light ships that have been attached to USHF 1 have also been looked at, and refitted to match older USH designs. Some speculation exists to see if the destroyers for harvest are advanced enough to refit for planetary defense.

Stardate 2440.1

It has been concluded that organic shipbuilding and armor are beyond our grasp. Most of the remaining 19 captured vessels shall be retained for defensive duties within the system, protecting the major planetary presence in the system, following the example of the Doruksha Empire, which owns most of the rest of the planets in the system.

With a severely limited presence of Xi'Chung forces in the system, capture ships have been returned to their fleets.

The Jethanis Incident has been concluded.
