Counter Attack
November 23, 75220 N.B.E.*
It has been 4.35 years every sense the 1st G.R.F-Cylon war began and it has been 2 years and 11 months sense the Battle of Primal Point 012 in Early 75,218. The G.R.F.* government and Military High command have concluded that the Cylon have been for the last nearly 3 years been Transferring more and more Cylon basestars and War material among the G.R.F.'s Narrowly Galaxy wide Corridor and have been able to narrow down a wide probable front nearly they Planets ranging from 1,000 Light-years to over 6,000 light years away from their Planets. The G.R.F. Military High command have called war from Mid 75,216 to Early 75,218 the 1st Phase of the 1st G.R.F.-Cylon war. They called the war Phase From Early-75,218 to now the Intermission Phase between the Next Phase of the war with the Cylons. During the Intermission time the G.R.F. strike fleets was able to not let the Cylons learn the Locations of their remaining planets. Their Galactic Fleet lost 12 Apollo class Battlestars, 10 William Adama class Supercarriers, 9 Laura Roslin class destroyers, 11 Pegasus class Cruisers, 31 Flattop Ships along with 6,267 Mk XIII Vipers sense 1st G.R.F.-Cylon War began. they have lost 3/4 of their remaining attack fleets ships on the attacking of the Cylon fleets and keep them guesting on were their remaining planets and production facilities are. they were able to destroy over 48 Cylon Basestars and over 22,272 Cylon raiders in their attacks on the cylcon fleets. However with their Attack fleets heavy loss it forced the G.R.F. military High command to pull ships from their planetary defense fleets to replace the ships that were lost in their attacks on the cylon fleets.
They have completed construction of the massive Battlestar shipyards at Alekanteri and another massive cruiser shipyard at Atlanta and they have been operational for over a year to busy in producing warships to fight the Cylon forces. The G.R.F. government and Military high command have been using the time that the Cylons were going them to Produce more and more warships across their galactic territory with their Shipyards and have produced 23 Andromeda class Battlestars, 23 Kara Thrace Class Destroyers; 19 Aaron Kelly Class Cruisers, 6 Aleksanteri class Carriers and 52 Anastasia Bulla Class Flattop ships along with 7,750 of the Latest Vipers to defense their fleets with all their War Production Shipyards and Fighter factories.
In Early-June with the 1st G.R.F.-Cylon dragging on with increase amounts of the number of Casualties* in the war and with increasing size of their Fleets; The G.R.F. government and Military High command put into effect an Moderate Military Service by Requirement conscription Law(8.333% of the entire population) to recruit more manpower to help fight in a war with the Cylons; Within a few weeks the Military high command was able to recruit recruits into the Military. They send 33.125% of their Recruits into their Ground forces(Air force, Marines, Army) to become troops to defend the G.R.F. planets from possible Cylon Planetary invasions. They send the remainder of their Recruits into their Galactic Navy to become New Crew-members or Replaces for new galactic warship their shipyard would begin to production to defend the G.R.F. planets from possible Cylon Space Invasions. The G.R.F. are 1/3 of all their Civilian factories and Production facilities to switch from making Civilian equipment and become making Military Equipment from their ground forces to use to fight a possible Cylon Attack.
The G.R.F. military high command divided their new warships into 6 attack fleets and 13 Planetary defense fleets to defend their Galactic Territory. The G.R.F. Ground forces have a total of 276,288(included the ground force reserves of personnel) group troops, 2,763(Including the reserves of Advanced tanks and their crews personnel) advanced tanks and 1,842 advanced artillery pieces to defend their G.R.F. Planets from possible Cylon Planetary invasions. Each attack fleets would have an Admiral or Captain in charge of the fleet and would have under their command 1 to 2 Andromeda Class Battlestars, An Aleksanter Class carrier, 1 to 2 Kara Thrace Class destroyers; 3 to 4 Aaron Kelly class Cruisers and 5 Anastasia Bulla Class Flattop ships along with 680-1,075 of the latest Vipers to defend Each attack fleet.
Each Planetary Defense fleet would have an Admiral or Captain in charge of the fleet and would have under their command 2 to 3 Apollo Class and a single Andromeda Battlestar(s), 1 to 2 William Adama Class carrier(s) in some of their Defensive fleets; 4 to 5 Laura Roslin class and a single Kara Thrace Destroyer(s) in some of their Defensive fleets; 3 to 4 Pegasus Class Cruisers, 1 to 2 Flattop Ships along with 1 to 2 Anastasia class Flattop ships along 2,750-2,860 of the Latest vipers(including Planetary Defense forces of each planet.) to protect each Planet from a Cylon fleet. Each of the G.R.F. planets have a defensive army of roughly 21,252 group troops, 212 to 213 advanced tanks and 141 to 142 advanced artillery pieces to defend their Planet from possible Cylon Planetary invasions. The remaining Ships were assigned to different Defense fleet that were protection their Home worlds from a cylon attack.
The G.R.F. high command decided that it was time to make a decisive strike against the Cylons. they military Intelligence section has been hard at work for them to search for Importance Cylons targets that could halt the cylons search for their Planets or on attacking their fleets. the G.R.F. Military high command concluded that with the Cylons to be so close their Planets that they might have a lot of Cylon Resurrection ships or Clone ships close by for them to replenish their losses from the battles their forces lost, so they ordered their Intelligence section to focus on searching for Cylon Resurrection ships.
It took the G.R.F. intelligence section over a year and searching and of deep digging from their Intelligence agents have finding found information on the Cylon resurrection ships be it cost a lot of Agents lives to get the importance because the cylons closely guarded the secret of their resurrection ships especially of the ones closet to the G.R.F. Territory to replenish their losses from the battles their forces lost. They have found out that there are 25 cylon Resurrection ships spread across the Galaxy and the coordinates of 5 of the nearly Cylon resurrection ships within a 3 hour(Roughly 5,600 Light years away from their Planets) of travel(with their more Advance FTL dive systems them their Cylon FLT systems counter-parts. The Cylon FLT drive system is roughly 11.666 times slower meaning that Cylon could make a 60 Light-year Jump.) from each of their Planets producing Cylons replacement to replenish their losses for their nearly fleets. the Intelligence agents also brought information of the cylon defense fleet protecting each resurrection ship from attack. the G.R.F. Military high command have gather from their Intelligence section agents that each Cylon resurrection ship in protected by 7 Cylon basestars along with 3,248 Cylon raiders to defend each Cylon resurrection ship from an enemy attack.
The G.R.F. military high command decided to attack all the cylon resurrection ships within 6 hour of travel by their 6 attack fleets into 6 strike groups each made up all of the Andromeda Class Battlestars in their attack fleets(6 strike groups have 1-2 Andromeda class Battlestars), all their Aleksanteri class supercarriers(all strike groups would have a single Aleksanteri class carrier) 3 to 4 Kara Thrace class destroyers, 3 to 4 Aaron Kelly class cruisers and 5 Anastasia Bulla Class flattop ships and between 680-1,075 of the Latest Vipers to attack the Cylon Resurrection ships. Each strike force had their own attack plan on how to attack the cylon resurrection ships and their defense fleet protecting it from enemy attack. one basic thing that each Admiral or Captain had in his or her plans was to have a group of Stealth Vipers to go in undetected under Cylon radar before they began their main attack to knock out the resurrection ships FTL dives to not let it escape destruction from the coming G.R.F. strike group forces.
Over the course of 2 1/2 days the G.R.F. strike groups completed their missions in destroying the cylon Resurrection ships. some of the battles between the Strike forces nearly ended with the Strike group force being destroyed. In total strike groups lost 3 Kara Thrace class Destroyers, 4 Aaron Kelly class Criusers and 4 Anastasia Class flattop ships along 325 XIV Vipers. 2 Kara Thrace Class destroyers being moderate Damage and 2 Aleksanteri class carriers receiving light damage, after the battle with the Cylon Resurrection fleets with the Flattop ships began to repair battle damage from the battles with the Cylon Resurrection fleets along their journey back to G.R.F. Galactic Territory.
A few days after the G.R.E. strikes they saw the Cylons begin to withdraw their fleet forces that were able 3 hours away from any of the G.R.F. planets because their fleets were to far away from the nearly cylon resurrection ships to be reborn and replacement their fleets losses in the battles that they had with the G.R.F. For the G.R.F. they began to felt a sense of Relief sense they have Destruction the nearly Cylon Resurrection ships that now they would not be attacked every 2 1/2 days by the cylons, however the War between the Cylons and the G.R.F. is far from over.
*N.B.E. stands for New Beginning Era.
*G.R.F. stands for the Galactic Republic Federation.
* The Casualties of the 1st G.R.F.-Cylon war has mount to roughly 469,234 Casualties both Military(58,239) and Civilian(410,995) in the 1st G.R.F.-Cylon war so far.
