Chapter 3a

Captain Hussien of U.S.S. Baghdad Pre-Dilgar War Columbus class Heavy Cruiser, rubbed her eyes. "Well, I looked forward to see my grandson's wedding and finally retired after 36 years of served U.S. Navy."

Her task-force is made of Pre-Dilgar War 3 Heavy Cruisers, 5 Frigates, 7 Destroyers, and 10 Corvettes. Her mission is guard the new colony of New Delphi System. She heard of failed First Contact with Minbari. Sensor operator replied "Contact! 35 Minbari warships on way to us. Hyperspace!"

She shouted "Battlestation!" as her crews rushed to their stations.

Computer voice spoke "Warning Jump-point projection. Taskforce!"

Captain speak "Engaged the Star-drive,"

25 Earth warships bolted from former place of taskforce which Suddenly full by Minbari warships. Sensor Operator replied Minbari gunport is power up."

She growled "All ships target lead Minbari warship and fire!"

Combines fires are too much for lead Minbari and vaporized. 34 Minbari warships paused like they can't believe of accurate shots destroy Minbari warship. That give Earth warships time to pressure on Minbari warships. Four Minbari warships was destroyed before Minbari Warriors overcome shocked Brief but bloody battle leave 17 Minbari warships and one Earth heavy cruiser remained.

"Captain, our weapons are disabled!" Weapons officer replied.

She claim replied "Set course for near Minbari warship. And rammed speed!"

Seventeen Minbari warship tried to destroyed heavy damaged U.S.S. Baghdad but not before she completed her final mission.

Admiral Hauge signed as finish read Several reports. He mused This war has started because of fucking Safeguard Software. Make it worse, we just fire on Grey Council ship That leader Duhkut was killed. Warrior and Worker Castes Satais agrees to commit genocide on Earthmans. Three religious Satais was injured. Now We just lost the four new colonies to Minbari orbital bombardment. Pulse side we cam lock on Minbari Warships on 4 battles resulted on 72 Minbari Warships loss. "Thank god for hyperspace sensor and Star-drive."

Star-drive is slow than Hyperspace, speed is depend on mass. Higher mass mean low speed, lower mass mean high speed. But can fit in from fighters to Capital Ships.So Star-drive is use for tactical movement and Interplanetary movement. Hyperspace sensor are result of Mankind tried to improved vary type of mankind's sensor to navigate the hyperspace. By combined vary type of sensors, Mankind able to navigate the hyperspace with 95 accurateness. Side-effect of hyperspace sensors are able to spot ships at 12 light-minutes whether they are at real space or hyperspace from hyperspace or real space. Earth sensor are immune to Minbari's stealth system. Drawback is it required much of tune to make sure hyperspace sensor 100, otherwise Earth ship will lost in hyperspace. It don't have much margin of errors.

Admiral Hauge sighed "AI Macleod, report me about Minbari weapons."

AI replied "Several type of Minbari are Fusion Beam, Neutron Beam, Electro-Pulse gun, and Antimatter Cannon."

Hague look impressed and appall "We begin to test on two prototype antimatter weapons. Heavy Pulse Antimatter and Antimatter Laser. But that Neutron Beam is useless!"

Antimatters are use as Antimatter Mark V torpedoes and Antimatter reactor. Earth reactor is more small, more efficient, and more safe than Centauri Antimatter reactor.

Macleod nodded "Minbari armor are made of polycrystalline armor. It is strong against weak particle weapon and low coherent plasma bolts, but it is weak against Kinetic energy weapons, high coherent plasma bolts,and powerful particle weapons."

Hauge raise eyebrow. "Interesting, MAC, torpedoes, fusion missiles, Heavy Pulse Fusion, old Earth Pulse Plasma, and Fusion laser can hurt Minbari ships."

"Yes, Centauri and league can't hurt Minbari ship" Macleod stated

"Warning, Warning. 85 Minbari ships, 30 Sharlin class War-Cruiser and 55 Tinashi class War-frigate, are on way to Jericho system." computer-voice spoke

Admiral Hauge sighed "Thanks God for Hyperspace sensor, It gave us a warning."

Macleod grinned "It also us captured several Anla-shok ships, but several other Anla-shok ship barely avoid captured by us."

"Yes, but Anla-shok's ships is not Standard Minbari ship." Hauge disgust replied

"It fit with what we know about Anla-shok."

Hauge nodded"Sure, We like to learn more about Anla-shok, but Battle of Jericho is about start."
