Attention lesser races,
The Centauri Royal Navy has shown that we will not shrink from the fight, whatever the foe and whatever the cost. This system will be ours and those who oppose the Centauri Republic will be punished.
Even now we are re-grouping our fleets to face the corrupt ISA and their Abbai lapdogs. The Lion of the Galaxy will not be denied. Surrender now and mercy will be shown. Stand to fight and we will burn your fleets down to the last man.

Attention,
Today the Centauri people are saddened at the loss of the brave men of the Royal Navy who died in battle against the corrupt ISA. While fighting to secure our rights to this system the ISA's White Star fleet, with assistance from the fanatical Abbai, massacred the crews of five Centauri warships, continuing to fire even after the Navy vessels ceased hostilities and attempted to withdraw. The brutal Anla-Shok killers went on to destroy the Navy ships even after a surrender and plea for mercy was transmitted.
While we are unsurprised by this savagery we are outraged and vengeance will be ours. Perhaps not now and perhaps not here, but the ISA's murderers will be brought to justice for their crimes. We swear it.

today the ISA took the jump gate into the system to attempt to cease hostilities. the loss of an abbai ship and the anger of the narn crew members towards the centauri in their hunting down of the narn ships in this system sent the whitestar fleet on a vengeful mission of attack resulting in the destruction of all centauri ships and the loss of all hands.
the mission was a call to arms, at 5 point skirmish level. this was obviously the flanking force of the centauris attack on the systems jumpgate.
2 whitestars and 2 abbai tiracas engaged a fast force of dargan, 2 vorchans and a darkner.
as the fleets engaged the 2 whitestars ganged up on and destroyed the enemy dargan before it could even fire (got 4 hits from WS1s nuetron laser) whilst the rest of the centauri fleet fired upon the tiraca Troia exploding it but damaging a vorchan in the same round.
round 2 the fleets attempted to circle with a vorchan and the darkner engaging the Tirfol, the last tiraca whilst the entire ISA fleet turned its attention to the darkner. the damage done to the tirfol was minor allowing this ship to fight on whilst the return fire blew apart the darkner completely, another fireball in space.
round 3 the vorchan damaged by the Troias explosion opens a jumpgate whilst the 2nd vorchan lines up ready to enter hyperspace. with the ISA behind they opened fire on the vorchan opening the JP and again this ship exploded with all hands.
round 4 the last vorchan makes a plea for surrender however the ISA angry at the treatment of the narn in an earlier engagement turned this down, pursuing the vorchan as it put all power to engines. the abbai could not be part of this vengeance however and just slid forward concentrating on repairs and mourning the lost souls on their sister ship. with a highly destructive display of firepower the whitestars comlpetely gutted the remaing vorchan (6/5 crit causing 33 damage to a crippled vorchan) again with all souls left.
every kill in this engagement went to the ISAs fleet flagship the WS1. perhaps the influence of other member races being allowed to send members to train as rangers is 1st being seen in the aggression shown here.

Will any reinforcements purchased have a random crew quality?.
Does a player make reinforcements known on this thread?
Does a player make refits/other duties public on this thread?
Will the gamesmaster be compiling an overall summary on Turn 1 for each facton?, which will include all info? Ships destroyed, crippled, xp dice and rr earned etc?

I've got a summary done; including losses and reinforcements. Ship upgrades aren't listed explicitely - I thought that's not something you'd necessarily find out by recon alone.....besides, it makes for a nice surprise, doesn't it...
Obviously be sure to explain before a game starts what a ship is equipped with.
Still waiting on RR purchases from the EA and Centauri.
The 'fluff' part of the turn summary is already up - and will be replaced by the expanded version in due course.

Locarno - nice work.
I look forward to future udates.
Thanks locarno24 for that entertaining and detailed overview. Can't wait to see the Centauti conquer the galaxy... again... ahem, I mean, I can't wait to see the end of the campaign :wink: .
I hope you all enjoy it... cause I was trying to get Vassal to work and it was just to complicated for me...

The conquest isn't going as well as I'd like. Appalling luck at dice combined with opponents absurdly good luck at dice doesn't make for much empire-building...
Awesome work on the PDF, by the way. Very good of you to put such a neat spin on my catastrophic performance this turn...
