RE: Chapter Three (Closure)
(OOC: This is the conclusion of Eric's request. This covers a broad region of influence to include the Isle of Skye.)
Early 3060: Muphrid troops under the command of Duke Kilt join the invasion of New Earth.
Mid 3060: A suicide bomber detonates her bomb in the heart of Administration Complex for the Skye Ranges and Skye Jaegers, the later were deeply involved in the New Earth Invasion. In the after math of the bombing, general support for the invasion on Skye falters. Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner uses his influence to further erode popular support for the invasion as well as support of Duchess Hermione Aten of Skye.
July 3060: Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner calls on all worlds within the Isle of Skye to without their support of what he called an unlawful occupation of an Isle of Skye world. Duke Kilt openly defies the order and increases his troop deployment to New Earth.
August, 3060: After bitter military losses, Lyran Alliance agrees to peace talks. While peace talks being hosted on Skye are being conducted, the world of Lipton breaks ranks with Duke Kelswa-Steiner and allows Lyran ships to use its system to help support the blockade of New Earth.
After heated debates, a weak peace accord was struck between New Earth and the Lyran Alliance. Both sides violate the peace accords within hours of the documents being signed.
After facing stiff popular resistance, the local government of Solaris released the leaders of Hurricane Stables.
As a result of the conflict growing around New Earth, Draconis Combine Peacekeepers under the command of Comstar have grown in numbers across the Lyon’s Thumb.
November, 3060: Thanks to a massive PR blitz by Archon Katrina Steiner-Davion, support for Duke Kelswa-Steiner erodes. New Earth is painted as the aggressor. Tensions on New Earth continue to grow as New Earth’s military under command of General Macko refuse to lift Martial Law. President McGray lacks the political support in the Congress to force General Macko to return power to the civilian government.
Clan Ice Hellion continues its march in to Clan Jade Falcon Occupaton Zone, Ice Hellion’s 200th Attack Cluster finished off the 8th Falcon Regulars on Devin. saKhan Conner Rood promises Jade Falcon forces will be ousted from the Inner Sphere before June 3061. Falcons having suffered massive losses from Tukayyid and from their failed war against the Wolves have left them incapable of halting the Ice Hellion’s march.
December, 3060: After several failed attempts to rally support in New Earth’s Senate, President McGray attempts one on one talks with General Macko. Only an order from the House of Nobility can break the stalemate. Duchess Karen Tetsuhara-Death is still missing from the beginning of the Invasion. Reports surface that she was captured by Lyran forces.
General Macko meets with Terracap Confederation, talks about regional security
January, 3061: The number of worlds within the Isle of Skye break ranks with Duke Kelswa-Steiner as the Archon’s PR blitz continues. Lyran forces continue to another build up in the area. Duke Kelswa-Steiner fires back publicly citing New Earth as the Archon’s own Moby Dick. Raids along the Marik and Circinus boarders cost the Alliance dearly.
Thirty worlds within the Isle of Skye including Muphrid and Lipton all sign a Military Support Deal with Tharkad in Defiance of Skye. Archon Katrina Steiner-Davion’s promises that a strong central Alliance government will prevail against terrorists’ worlds. Her speech was directly aimed at Skye and New Earth.
