Campaign Timeline

Nightshade 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21
    Born no later than 1053.
    Knows something about larians and the brothers. The do each other favors. Has not been to Leander, but has been close.
    Member of Eagle's Nest on Regina, sponsored to membership by Delphine, Duchess of Mora; Norris, Duke of Regina; and Ricardo, Duke of Adabicci, therefore joined before 1111.
    Naval base in Regina has order to cooperate with him as much as possible, order dated 1073.
    Had dinner at Eagle's Nest on 120-1122 with Nightshade crew. Had been on Regina for a month or two. Was interested in the statuette. Knew all about the Wonstar incident, Alien Space Bats. Shark gave him the indentification of the agent on Ferle who set them up the bomb, and an Imperial tech level scan of Trow's statuette.
    Quote from log: On the basis of Shark's extensive information and description, Arken comes up with a probable ID for the person. He is clearly Imperial Navy Intelligence; there should not be a permanent station there. He has a 60% likely ID -- while that's far from conclusive, if it is the person, he is on record as being on a classified mission, but there are no orders placing him in that status. Apparently he was just reclassified as being on a classified mission, with no corresponding orders. Someone clearly has access to the Imperial Navy Intelligence system. That information alone is enough for Arken to set some serious investigation going.
    Knows that Mora planetary defense use was unauthorized.
    Recognized Baron on sight.
    Looks for interesting knowledge, not much dangerous these days. Not very interested much in things before Fourth Frontier War.
    Does not play golf.
    Knows what's going on in INI chain of command. Knows about the Wonstar project, might arrange tour for Marquis Marc in about five years (1127).
    Does not know any details of Marquis Marc's SEH.
    Knows Nightshade is an invisible ship, and that they got it on Zett.
    Crew told Marquis Marc about Sir Arken on 194-1122.

    Will look into who declared Zett a Red Zone (from 120-1122).
    Planned to head in general direction of Leander, not specifically there.
    Headed for Mora from 120-1122. Had not arrived by 194-1122.
    Expects to deal with the brothers in a couple of years (1124-ish)

Trin (Artur Milhelm) and Rhylanor (Harlo Erghal & Sara), ex-Admiral Rikk Bainoi (Count of Fulacin)

Nightshade 19, 20, 21, 22
    Trin was told something about Sir Arken by Nakege. Didn't know him before.
    Nightshade crew were supposed to investigate which side Adabicci is on.
    Have heard the full conversation with Darya Krelft.
    (more)

Aramis, Nexine

Aramis never turned up at Rhylanor. He's aware of Santanocheev's moves and has promised not to interfere.

Santanocheev, Glisten

Crusader 5, 6, 7
Moving on Mora. Fleet movements already determined (under INI direction) are as follows, all in Karin on 043-1123.

Raweh fleet in Karin on 043-1123, on patrol, ready to leave.
Wonstar fleet in Karin on 043-1123, in 72 hours (046-1123) to Iderati, refuel and move on to secure Faldor. (both Jump-4).
Jone fleet in Karin on 043-1123, in 3 weeks jump to Iderati, to Faldor, then secure Dawnworld. Dawnworld is uninhabited except for starport, so not long needed.

Main fleets:

Llanamith battle group at Iderati (regular commander Admiral West, just short of making Grand Admiral and doesn't want to wreck his career)
Five Sisters sector fleets at Iderati
Iderati at Iderati
Emape at Iderati
Mirriam at Iderati

    Main plan is for full Five Sisters fleets to combine with extra Glisten (which is already prepared, Duke on Santanocheev side) and move unassailable force to Mora. Diversionary fleets go through Adabicci and Lunion, Glisten diversionary take Edenelt and Katarulu.
    To coreward, Lanth and Rhylanor hold to block Regina and as insurance against Aramis (in case they break neutrality). Lanth add fleet to Lunion diversion, Rhylanor move into Mora from coreward coordinated with rimward force.

    Archduke Santanocheev will take legitimate command of Deneb sector forces, and message will be clear that this is as far as the action goes. Diplomatic action will resolve Spinward Marches conflict with as little military action as possible for popular support.
    INISO operatives will add presence to all main forces, issue orders to deal with the black ship threat. Black ship is to be captured if possible, but destroyed is a fine option.
