System: Beta Mensae V

[3039] Operation Orochi, Kanrei Theodore Kurita’s counter-assault during the War of 3039 began in July, forcing Hanse Davion to delay any further attacks whilst the incursion was dealt with.

General Goran Yuu, commanding the task force consisting of the First Crucis Lancers and the First Albion Cadre, received orders to “hold” three days into a recharge layover in the Altdorf system, though a technical glitch prevented those orders from being readable. By the time those orders could be resent by Field Marshal Sortek’s staff, Yuu and his strike force were already in the Beta Mensae system, but had not yet begun their burn in to the world. They sat at the nadir jump point for almost a month, watching the world’s defenders nervously build up their defenses the best they could, before orders came for them to return to the Federated Suns.

Rather than route them back through Capra, however, Field Marshal Sortek sent them to raid Kaznejov in an effort to distract the DCMS from continued attacks into the Draconis March.
