Alpha Lyrae System Chronicles
Earth Year 2231
The Dilgar first became aware of this system as their fleets ramapaged across the League of Non-Aligned worlds. While the Dilgar War Council were reluctant initially to commit forces to the conquest of a non starfaring system with no major industries they were persuaded by war leader Ke’Purh that it would be an inexpensive conquest of a useful communications nexus.
It has been speculated that the systems co ordinates had been revealed to the Warmaster by the Narn, given what occurred next this is entirely likely.
Even as the initial Dilgar fleet secured the Modern, Vree constructed jumpgate their scouts reported a Centauri fleet doing the same at the ancient Jumpgate located in an EM distortion field.
Both sides proceeded to occupy planets within the system, including a Vree built military training post and an Abbai Diplomatic station.
It became apparent to the Dilgar that the Centauri effort was purely instigated and funded by House Ballado, a weak house within the Centaurum looking to increase it’s power, prestige and resources by adding this new system. Thus reassured that drving the Centauri from the System would not bring down the might of their whole Republic the Dilgar gave the Centauri an ultimatum to leave or else, feeling confident in the new ships that control of half the system had funded.
In reply the Centauri broke off communications, the Dilgar, as was their wont, planned a surprise attack on the diplomatic station, which, in order to keep Earth Alliance neutral they were taking note of.
The Centauri struck first launching a small fleet at the Dilgar held Jump gate in an effort to control that area of space and deny the gate to the ferocious agressors.
As you may have guessed this is the background to my Latest ACTA campaign, Dilgar vs Centauri. After the last campaign, where I commanded the ISA, lead to a complete Centauri rout we decided on a change of pace; so it was a standard 10pt Battle campaign for control of a single system.
