<br>
UHS/Yggdrian Encounter;<br>
<br>
<br>
A chance encounter between two exploration fleets leads to first contact between the United Human Systems and the Yggdrasil Contingency, after a brief stand off both sides attempted to contact the other, finding their communication systems incompatible the smaller Yggdrian fleet fled the system. Two Yggdrian Standard Weeks later a much larger fleet equipped with a modified communications system returned to the system, finding no signs of the unknown fleet, after a brief search of the system they found no settlements on the habitable planets but were able to locate some sort of long range satellite. Alerted by the satellite a large UHS fleet entered the system and established contact with the Yggdrians. After a brief standoff both sides agreed to establish diplomatic relations and split their contested border territory in half, giving the north to the UHS and the south to the Yggdrians.<br>
<br>
<br>
Outcome: Trade and Diplomatic relations, border zones split by 50%.<br>
<br>
<br>
Zantan Arrival;<br>
<br>
<br>
After series of dice rolls meant purely to antagonize Glass, the Zantan arrive from beyond the galactic void with minimal incident.<br>
<br>
<br>
Ree/Ashiran Contact War;<br>
<br>
<br>
A Rate patrol encountered an Ashiran scouting flotilla on the fringes of Ree space, after a failed communication attempt by the Ashiran the Rate ships jammed the Ashiran communications and attempted to take the Ashiran ships captive. Determining the Rate to be hostile after their jamming attempt the Ashiran opened fire with long range laser batteries, damaging the outnumbered Rate ships considerably before they were able to close to missile range. Rate missile volleys were rendered largely ineffective by Ashiran Point Defense Systems and caused only minimal damage before the Ashiran destroyed the Rate ships. Ashiran forces have since invaded, pushing Ree forces back and seizing territory in two bordering zones.<br>
<br>
<br>
Outcome: Ongoing war, 50% of Ree territory in two zones lost.</div>

Ree/Ashiran Contact War;<br>
<br>
<br>
As the war drags on Ree forces begin using cheap, Light Frigates with minimal crews as ramming barges, smashing into Ashiran ships and leveling the battle in the stars. On the ground the war turns into a brutal grind as millions of volunteers and conscripts are shunted en mass to contested planets. Both side's attempt to break the stalemate by launching attacks against new zones and both attempts being stalled by reserve forces and guerrillas.<br>
<br>
<br>
Outcome: Ongoing war. Both factions capture 75% territory in a new zone.</div>

Ree/Ashiran Contact War;<br>
<br>
<br>
As the war enters its third year Ree attempts to establish religious dominance over captured Ashiran territory backfire spectacularly, billions of Ashiran citizens rebel across captured space, entire planets are reduced to guerrilla warzones as terror attacks and mass uprisings force Imperial forces to spread far too thinly in order to maintain some semblance of control. Ashiran retaliation forces are able to force the Empire out in a matter of months, enlisting millions of rebels, terrorists and guerrillas into the Church's armed forces, quickly pressing their advantage and opening another invasion front.<br>
<br>
<br>
Ashiran attempts at diplomacy are met with the massacre of the diplomatic flotilla, enraging the Ashiran people and further rallying their forces and populace in support of the war.<br>
<br>
<br>
Outcome: Ongoing war. Ashiran forces reclaim previously lost territory. Ashirans capture 20% territory in new zone, extend control over previously invaded zone to 90%.</div>
