Peace or War and Information
June 12, 75216 N.B.E.*
Now with G.R.F.* having a defense strong fleet it was time to make contact with the Cylons after 150 years of Recovery to see if the Cylons have new and better ships that they had 150 years ago. They wanted to see if the Cylons wanted to have Peace and Coexist with Mankind or to go to war with Mankind and try to annihilate mankind that would result in a long bloody horrifying war many deaths to both sides both Human and Cylon. The G.R.F. decided to send a diplomat Fleet made up of single Armonía class Diplomat Ship* and a single Flattop ship with 45 Mark XIX Vipers as fighter support and protection to show to the Cylons that they wanted peace and not war. If the Cylons attack The Diplomat Fleet than the Flattop Ship would provide cover long enough for the diplomat ships to escape and tell the G.R.F. choose war instead of Peace.
They use the latest Radar systems to search for a small Cylon Patrol fleet with a single Cylon basestar. The found a small Patrol fleet and made contact with the Cylons. The Cylon fleet were surprised to see a Colonial fleet(that what the Cylons still call them because they don't know that the Colonial's chance the name of their Galactic Government.) after all these years of searching the Galaxy for Colonial forces that might have survived the destruction of the 12 original Colonies over 150 years ago. As the G.R.F. Diplomat Fleet emerged from the depths of space, the imposing silhouette of a Cylon basestar loomed before them. Tensions crackled through the void as both sides assessed the situation, each calculating their next move.
On the bridge of the Armonía-class Diplomat Ship, Captain Elena Rodriguez* stood firm, her hands poised over the controls as she awaited orders. Beside her, Ambassador Thomas Westwood* watched intently, his expression a mask of diplomacy masking a simmering tension.
"Prepare for contact, we must show them that we come in peace." Captain Rodriguez commanded, her voice steady despite the gravity of the situation.
During time as the colonials were trying to establish contact them The Cylon's patrol fleet crew members held back from making contact with the Colonials diplomatic fleet; They contacted the Cylon Council to tell them that they have made contact the Colonials; After a few minutes they received orders from the Cylon Council to attack the colonial fleet and disable their FTL dives. They them would them have boarding parties and board the ships to get Intel on the Colonial Military force size and were their Colonies where to exterminate mankind bring an end to the Plague of Mankind. The Cylon patrol fleet opened fired on the Diplomat fleet and the 2 fleets and a battle that last long enough for the G.R.F. Fleet to jump to safety.
As they continued to try to establish contact with the Cylons and try to extend the olive branch, the tranquility of space shattered as the Cylon pistol fleet sprang into action. Streams of barrel flashes and projectiles from the Cylon fleet lanced through the void, converging on the Diplomat Fleet with deadly precision. As they projectiles were just going to make contact with the Colonial Fleet, they were surprised to see that their projectile weapons how hit some kind of energy barrier. They have theorized the Colonials have development some type of Energy shield to block their Missile Bombardment attacks; As well their swamps of Cylon raiders. While the Cylons were trying to disable their FTL dives the G.R.F. Flattop Ship, with its complement of Mark XIX Vipers, moved swiftly to intercept, launching a barrage of counter-fire to protect the vulnerable Diplomat Ship. Explosions blossomed in the vacuum as Vipers danced with Cylon raiders in a deadly ballet of steel and fire.
Meanwhile, aboard the basestar, the Cylon commanders observed the unfolding chaos with cold detachment. Orders were issued swiftly as the basestar's primary guns roared to life, unleashing a torrent of destruction upon the colonial fleet. But the G.R.F. was not without its own defenses. Energy shields shimmered into existence, deflecting the worst of the Cylon onslaught as G.R.F. ships retaliated with precision strikes of their own.
Over the next few minutes, the G.R.F. Flattop ship and the Cylon Patrol fleet battled each other; As the Flattop ship began to hammer away at the Cylon Basestar they saw that the Basestar was taking light to moderate damage but not heavy damage from their main Plasma Cannons. After seeing that the Cylon's want war instead of peace and seeing that their Diplomatic ship was ready to jump and they both jumped away from the Cylon Patrol fleet and return to Earth the capital of the G.R.F. unharmed but that their shields took heavy drainage from the Cylon pistol fleet to deliver the news that the Cylon have attacked them and have chosen war instead of Peace.
During their travel back to Earth, the atmosphere aboard the Armonía-class Diplomat Ship was heavy with tension. Captain Rodriguez and Ambassador Westwood convened in the command center, their expressions grave. "Well, it seems the Cylons have made their intentions clear.," Ambassador Westwood remarked bitterly.
"Indeed, War is upon us; We must prepare our defenses and rally our allies. The survival of humanity depends on it." Captain Rodriguez replied, her tone somber.
"And what of our efforts for peace?" Westwood questioned, his voice tinged with disappointment.
"They were noble, Ambassador, but it appears the Cylons have chosen their path. Now, we must face the reality of war." Captain Rodriguez stated firmly.
After the Diplomatic fleet returned to Earth they told the G.R.F. Government the bad news to which G.R.F government responded by saying that their fears have come true; The Cylons have chosen war and the annihilation of the Mankind instead of Peace and coexist with Mankind. Now the G.R.F. has to prepare for all-out war against the Cylon council and their military forces.
The G.R.F. government and Military High command put into effect an extensive conscription(5.0% of the Entire Population) Law 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 41.25% 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 Crewmembers 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. Government ordered their massive shipyards and fighter factories on Earth to go into wartime Production and to begin Producing as many William Adama class carriers and more Vipers as soon as possible take the place of other carriers that were ordered to become part of the G.R.F. attack fleets.(a Massive shipyard at Earth can Produce a William Adama Class Carrier in 9 months(5X's faster).) at Wartime Production instead of 3.75 years for a massive shipyard at normal Production time). The G.R.F. could have a William Adama Class Carriers ready of Service in 4.5 months with both Massive Shipyards producing at wartime Production. They ordered their both their massive sized shipyards and fighter factories on Aleksanter to which from mainly building citizen vessels into wartime Production to produce as many G.R.F. destroyers as Vipers as soon as possible take the place of other G.R.F. destroyers. The G.R.F. could have a G.R.F. Destroyer ready for Service in a month and a little more than 6 days.
They ordered their Moderate Size shipyard(a Moderately sized Shipyard at Wartime Production can Produce a warship 3x's faster that at normal Production time.) at Klaus to go into wartime Production of Flattop ships as support ships for the warships that were ordered to become part of the G.R.F. attack fleets. The G.R.F. could have a G.R.F. Flattop ready for service in 2 months. They ordered the Kaseem colony's massive shipyards to put massive Shipyard into wartime Production to begin building as many Apollo Class Battlestars as soon as possible take the place of other battlestars that were ordered to become part of the G.R.F. attack fleets or to replace ones that were destroyed by the Cylon Basestars or to get their Attack fleets more firepower to fight the Cylon fleets. The G.R.F. could have an Apollo Class Battlstar ready for service in 1.8 months. They ordered the 3 massive Fighter factories at New Caprica into wartime Production to begin Producing massive amounts of Mark IX Vipers and Raptors to Replace Mark IX Vipers and Raptors lost in war against the Cylons.
They government ordered both their massive shipyards and fighter factories on Alessa to go into wartime Production to help in the Production of Pegasus Class Cruisers as soon as possible take the place of other Cruisers that were ordered to become part of the G.R.F. attack fleet or were destroyed by Cylon basestars and their Cylon raiders or to get their Attack fleets more firepower to fight the Cylon fleets. The G.R.F. could have a Pegasus Class cruiser ready for service in 1 1/2 months. The G.R.F government ordered both their medium and Massive sized shipyards and fighter factories on Sandro to go into wartime Production on Producing as many Flattop ships and more Vipers as soon as possible take the place of other flattop ships that were either ordered to become part of the G.R.F. attack fleets or where destroyed by Cylon basestars and their Cylon Raiders or to get their Attack fleets more firepower to fight the Cylon fleets and to have Flattop ships to repair battle damage from engages with a Cylon fleet. The G.R.F. could have a Flattop ship ready for service in 20 days.
The G.R.F. sent small Scout Stealth Fleet made up of a Flattop ship as carrier for a few squadrons of stealth Vipers and Raptors along with their best to pilots and Spies on a 4 month long mission deep into Cylon territory to get the Cylons lasted designs of their ships and find how their New ships were designed and able to take More damage in battling G.R.F. ships and not to just be destroyed easily with their Latest weapons systems. When the G.R.F. stealth Fleet returned to Earth; where G.R.F. Military Command center was to get the lasted reports. However, the Cylon were able to get a Cylon Spy into the G.R.F territory and she made her way to the Earth with the Stealth Fleet to gather the Designs of the G.R.F. latest ships and Vipers along with the Coordinates of their Colonies for the Cylon attack them and to find how their ships were designed. However, the G.R.F. was able to find her with the Cylon Detection System before she was able to transmission the locations of the G.R.F. colonies and designs of the G.R.F. ships and Vipers to the Cylons to find how the G.R.F. ships defense were designed to find away around them.
The G.R.F. stealth fleet was able to get the designs of the Cylon latest warships to find how their new ships were designed to the G.R.F. Military Command Center. The G.R.F. military see that the Cylons have started put Moderate amount of Armor plating of their Basestars but not as thick as their Battlestars armored hulls to last longer in Battles with the G.R.F. Battlestars. The Cylons have begun to pull into their Basestars for the first time 23 Primary guns with systems similar to the old G.R.F. primary gun systems to have to cause more Damage to the G.R.F. ships and draining their defense Shields to destroy them. They saw how the Cylons are begun to pick a few of the colonial ideas. the Cylons decided to use a fighter launching system similar to the G.R.F. Viper launching tube systems. How the Cylon took out their outer hull Raider launch bays to not give the G.R.F. ships easy targets on their Basestar and easier to destroy by targeting their outer Hull Raider Launch bays to cause secondary explosions to make the Basestar weaker and easier to destroy.
The Cylons have redesigned their launch system and their Basestars now have 93 inner launching tubes similar to the G.R.F. design to launch their 464 Cylon Raiders to either attack an enemy or defend against an enemy's fighter support. They see that the Cylon Basestar Radar systems were improved but not as advanced as the G.R.F. radar systems that can scan a 10-light year diameter around their ships to scan for Friendly or Hostile. The Cylon Basetar Radar systems can scan a 2 1/2 light year diameter around the ship to scan for friendly or Hostile Ships. The G.R.F. is begun to see the Cylons develop better defense for their Basestars to have a high survival rate in battling G.R.F. battlestars from the Information that their Stealth Fleet brought back to them.
The G.R.F. Military High command set up 3 attack fleets from take some ships from their Defenses fleet to form the attack fleets. The Attack fleets are under the command of Rear Admiral(Upper half), Admiral Joshua Cain*, his 2nd in command Rear Admiral(Lower Half), Admiral Marcos Adama* and Captain Timothy Daniels* as the command officers of the 3 attack fleets. Each attack fleet is made up of 5 Battlestars, 5 Destroyers, 2 G.R.F. Carriers, 3 Cruisers and 2 Flattop ships with 1,070 Mark XI vipers to be on standby and ready to receive orders to attack a Cylon Fleet.

*The G.R.F. civilian and some military Scientists have a new class of ship: The Armonía class designed and developed in Early-75175. The engineers and construction workers said that it would take 2 years, 4 months and a little more than 23 days to have an Armonía class G.R.F. Diplomatic ship ready for service with normal shipyard production. The Armonía class would have approximately 3,363 crew members to maintain the systems of the ship and could carry 7,567 passengers. The Ships Role would be as a Diplomatic ship to have a mobile Diplomatic negotiation ship. The ship would be 1,666.9395 meters in length, 274.8045 meters in width, and 126.187 meters in height. The armaments of the Armonía class would be 4 Primary Guns, 172 Dual Point-defense turrets and 6 missile tubes. The Defenses of the Armonía class were Traditional Moderate armor plating to protect and adsorb Moderate damage from anti-ship missiles, electronic countermeasures and flak and the latest shield generator. The ship would carry 15 of the latest Vipers with 3 Viper Launch tubes to launch their Vipers, with a Full Raptor Compliment and atmospheric shuttles. The G.R.F. Military engineers and Scientists give the Armonía class to the G.R.F. government to begin massive production of as many Armonía class Diplomatic ships.
