Torak-Navy War

The Torak-Navy War is a direct continuation of the Shaula Affair. It began on 3 PHD and is ongoing.

Shortly after the capture of the Shaula star system, the Atria I left the now Space Elf Navy system of Shaula to go towards the Torak system Thuban. The Theta Pax I, under the command of the Navy, departed from Arided, coordinated to meet the Atria I as it arrives at Thuban.

TeckFudge, knowing that Thuban would be lost, left a small force behind, which had little hope of evacuation, to try to damage the enemy as much as possible before Thuban's eventual fall.

The Sheliak I, which had left Thuban to collect more of TeckFudge's forces before its fall, changed course toward Erided. With a force of 136 vessels, TeckFudge easily captured the system, which had no defenders. Shortly after this, Bharani and Mahasim fell to the Rebels forces.

After taking Thuban, the Colonel send a small number of ships to Errai, easily capturing it. Errai had relatively minor worth for TeckFudge, but it was very valuable as a staging area for the Navy.

Escalation
On 4 PHD, the Space Elf Rebels moved to take Bharani and Mahasim from Clan Torak, citing a need to secure its borders. It is widely believed that this is a purely a move to further their position, as the Space Elf Navy had no fleets on the move to take the systems.

In a gesture of of goodwill, the Rebels offered the Torak clan its advanced scanning technology, otherwise for free, if it was agreed that a war did not break out between the two. TeckFudge gladly accepted this, as the idea of fighting another enemy, with a fresh ship supply, was out of the realm of achieving victory.

Recapture
Thuban was the top priority for TeckFudge, as it was within warp range of a many of his other Star systems. Although Errai had many fewer vessels protecting it, Thuban was the gateway from which more enemy carriers could arrive, and so had to be retaken first.
