Figurspel/Spartan Games/Firestorm Armada/Terran Alliance

The councillors of the Terran Alliance and the current President of the Satellite Charter Umar Sallandro have one main concern: the protection of the Hub systems. This region includes Houghton, Cook’s World, Mal’s Folly and the systems between. To the councillors of the Charter all else is expendable, and with the limitations of Fold Space Drives they are reliant on the Dindrenzi overreaching themselves as they pass through the Storm Zone.

The commanders of the Navy of the Terran Satellite Charter (NTSC) are fortunately dedicated to the protection of the systems within Fathoms Reach and in the Charter itself. They have their best Terran warShips deployed at the front in the Terran Storm Fleet (TSF), with the assistance of the Terran Allied Fleet (TAV), which includes battle groups of Sorylian and Aquan warships.

They hope to call on reinforcements in the form of the Kurak Hub Fleet (KHB), the Fortress Fleet (FF) and various scratch formations made up of converted merchant vessels commanded by colonists. The outlying worlds of the Charter are assembling whatever resources they can muster, while Fleet Command, led by Commander Ramsey Slade, attempts to stem the Dindrenzi tide as it surges into the Storm Zone.

The Dindrenzi War is one fought by the Terrans, Aquans and Sorylians against the Dindrenzi, but there were earlier wars and conflicts that were not so simple. In recent centuries there have been several short-lived wars between the Terrans and their present allies. They were caused by territorial disputes brought about by Terran colonists primarily, without the authority of the Charter, and resolved with bloody confrontations.

These wars are kept a secret where possible, as the Alliance, Prime and Collective would all rather avoid similar conflicts or the trouble that public knowledge of them might cause. Some of these colonists have even been disowned by the Alliance, and as a consequence their systems have become independent and formed some of the Raider Sectors. These Raider Sectors are mostly situated below Fathoms Reach among barren planetary systems, where they survive through a mixture of limited industrial productivity and banditry.

TACTICS
The Terrans have a similar history of design to the Dindrenzi, though the superstructures of their Ships are much more varied. They have no single doctrine for commissioning Ships and use many different manufacturers, so Terran fleets from the Hub and the Storm Zone can look radically different.

In general though, the function of each Terran class of Ship is often similar to that of the Dindrenzi. The Terrans use mass drivers with limited arcs of fire that are inferior to Dindrenzi rail guns. They make up for this deficiency with large Broadside batteries.

The Terrans have the best Shield technology among the fleets of the Kurak Alliance, due to their negotiations with the Saurians. This makes up for a relative deficit in Point Defence (PD) systems and inferior engine systems, though the Terrans already have a construction program in process to update and improve their fleet. They are currently in talks with the Saurians to make further exchanges of technology and enlist their support against the Dindrenzi.

STANDARD BATTLEGROUP
The normal building block of a naval formation is the Battlegroup and the Terran Battlegroup that is supplied in a Starter Fleet consists of:

1 x Razorthorn Class Battleship
3 x Sentinel Class Cruisers
6 x Pilgrim Class Frigates (split into 2 Squadrons of 3 Ships each)
