Participants: SEAL's Empire Versus New Soviet Union

Setting: Setting: Sol Planetary System, Milky Way Galaxy, Universe, Multiverse, Reality.

Story: In light of recent news, It has been decided by SEAL's High Command that certain actions by the New Soviet Union is unlawful. Mere words will not be enough to parry the New Soviet Union's transgression against other nations of Earth. As such, extreme actions must be taken to ensure that the New Soviet Union knows its place. Participants are unanimously within the same setting, making this attack legal.

Space can be relatively uneventful. Sure, there's galaxies colliding, supernovae, or a black dude becoming president, but those are few and far in between. But what isn't so uneventful is a small, water-logged rocky planet, Ee-arth, about 8.31666667 lightminutes from its star. The largest state in terms of landmass, the New Soviet Union, had been reported as repeatedly making moves to enact some sort of military conquest in anger against another state or possibly continent; quite possibly North America. The SEAL's Empire, the entity which controls Earth among other locations, are of the mindset that this action about to be undertaken by the New Soviet Union must not be followed through. It is this reason that a SEAL's Task Force has been deployed in order to force the New Soviet Union to reconsider their path of actions. This task force is capable of bombarding the Ee-arth from distances of lightminutes away, as the planet's movement is, and has been, predictable for centuries, barring some sort of device that ports the planet away. As such, it is expected that the coming strikes against vital locations within the New Soviet Union will make contact with the targets.

The SEAL's Task Force consists of the Pelligrino-Zebrowski-class Orbital Bombard Craft SFAS Iga Strozyna, among other craft. It was built to serve one purpose, and its designation makes that note pretty obvious. In case it's not, and you're just unusually dense and stupid, it was constructed to strike against planet-bound, usually immobile targets such as buildings, compounds, or the rare sea-born fortress. Since it does not have a purpose as a fighting craft, it has no propulsion thrusters, and relies on it's jump drive to get it from location to location. In order to aim, it possesses two reaction control systems. One is in the form of control moment gyros, that allow the craft to maintain precision attitude keeping. The other are maneuvering thruster units consisting of rockets, giving the craft the ability to translate as well as rotate. Making up the craft's spine is a railgun system that runs about 95% percent of the entire length of the craft. Since the craft uses kinetic energy projectiles, those projectiles can have quite some range, due to inertia. Using that reasoning, it is quite logical to infer that the Orbital Bombardment craft doesn't have to be in orbit around the object it's bombarding. Escorting the Strozyna, are forty other space craft, consisting of fifteen 207 Alaska-type Heavy Cruisers, and twenty-five Mercain-class Light Destroyers.

It was this 41 craft-strong task force that appeared with bright yellow flashes about two and a half light minutes away from Ee-arth's star. The task force was directly in line with both planet and star; albeit about 120000 kilometers above the former's orbital plane. As such, the task force was about 5.8 lightminutes away from the planet, and the Strozyna had a clear shot at the planet. The missile drones were being kept close to the Strozyna for now. The Beschultzen is about thirty kilometers behind the Strozyna. 50000 Dart's spread out in a sperical pattern in four about 100 layers, with the first layer about 1500km from the task force and each following layer about 10000 kilometers from the next. 20000 Darts jumped to the planet Ee-arth, with about a third entering orbit around the planet in geosynchronous orbits. The other two thirds entered into eccentric elliptical orbits of varying planar degrees and distances; the perihelion and aphelion of the closest and farthest away orbits respectively was 8000 km and 30000km; and 25000km and 75600km. The last 30000 Dart's spread out equally to the Ee-arth's five Lagrange Points to orbit there and see if the New Soviet Union had any sneaky craft hanging around those points. The Laser's and Assault Cruisers were hanging around outside the system about a lightyear above the plane of the Solar System, along with the other twenty-nine Pelligrino-Zebrowski-class's; should they be needed, they'll be called in. The Task Force was in a staggered formation in such a away so as to allow all craft line of sight to Ee-arth. The following is a table that shows the directional and distance data for all forty escort craft. It assumes that the Iga Strozyna is the center, and all angles and distances are calibrated from the Strozyna's center of mass. HC is the Heavy Cruisers, and LD is the Light Destroyer. "H" is the horizontal angle in degrees, and "V" is the vertical angle in degrees. "D" is distance in kilometers. Zero Degrees is calibrated at to being to the fore of the Strozyna.



About three minutes after jumping into the Solar System, all craft began extending their heat radiator arrays. These arrays rotated until their surfaces were perpendicular to the star behind them. All craft confirmed their position within the formation, and entered Action Stations. The Artificial Intelligence inboard the Iga Strozyna's computer systems waited until it received the go to fire from the Fleet Admiral. To pass the wait, it used information from the Darts' nano-wave scanners to calculate the position of Earth relative to the Strozyna's. After accounting for lightspeed lag, rotation of the earth, and probability error, it spun the multiple control moment gyro systems inboard so as to rotate and aim the Electromagnetothermorocket Accelerator Cannon at the first target somewhere in eastern Russia. Once it was sure it had the correct attitude relative to the target, the AI allowed a microscopically small amount of angular momentum to remain; leading the target, as it were. Then, it sent out a text communique to the captains of the Mercain element to start charging the capacitors that were used to supply power to the two twin-gun Mark 45's. Then, the Intelligence began it's own charging sequence of the fifteen and a half banks of hypercapacitors that allowed the beast of a railgun that made up the spine of the Strozyna to fire. It estimated that it would take somewhere around twenty minutes to charge all 77,500 hypercapacitors inboard the Iga Strozyna.

On board the Aufpasser, in the bridge, standing in front of the forward viewscreens, with his hands clasps behind his back, was the Commander of the SEAL's Star Fleet. He's been maintaining this pose for about thirty minutes now. But, he wasn't doing nothing; instead, he was combing through the various information reports that the Dart's had sent back to the Aufpasser and the AI's had compiled into something Brendan could understand. So far, he could see that the forces of the enemy he was about to strike had noticed to the Task Force that had jumped in only mere lightminutes away, or if they had, chose not to give any indication. Brendan could also see millions of small starcraft along with many orbital installations above the planet. But one that caught his attention was a large orbital installation that quite frankly defied the laws of physics (they were only 200 kilometers (well within the thermosphere) above the surface of the planet, but were riding along without showing signs of being slowed by friction nor did they appear to be losing altitude due to the mass); a series of 3000 kilometer long orbital installations that appeared to be a construction facility for spacecraft for the enemy. It would take an effort to destroy them all, but Brendan was confident the task would be easy. The primary objective would be to destroy the three installations as highlighted on the map of the country Brendan was looking at now. Two were fully above ground, but the last one contained an underground section detected by the seismic geomappers underground from when Russia was in SEAL hands that wouldn't be so easily obliterated as the first two. Brendan figured three shots from the EMTRAC would do the trick. However, that would mean the Iga Strozyna I would have to be taken out of action for the time being, but that was okay; the Iga Strozyna's II through XXIX would be more than up to the task of taking over for the Strozyna I. Brendan wanted to target Moscow, but was told no. For now, he contented himself with imagining the levels of destruction the EMTRAC projectile would wreak upon the Russian landscape. After forty-five minutes of holding his stance, he allowed himself to loosen, and walked to sit down in the command chair. There, he sat back, legs out, and waited.
