OK, because this wouldn't leave me alone I've tried to fill out the timeline somewhat between Serenity-Con and Boskone Prime. It's mostly made up of things that would be 'newsworthy'.
Feel free to give any suggestions.
Timeline
August 22, 2013 (Thursday, Con Day 1) – Serenity-Con starts on Ganymede. Chief subjects include creating the Space Patrol and a presentation from Stellvia Corporation already rumoured to be a technological advance.
August 24, 2013 (Saturday, Con Day 3) – In between Panel sessions, Haruhi Suzumiya and A.C. Peters meet in person for the first time. The following discussion quickly takes on mythical proportions when Haruhi visibly recoils in fright as A.C. shuts her out of the conversation. The rest of the SOS-Dan suffer a scare from an idle comment by A.C. as she leaves.
August 25, 2013 (Sunday, Con Day 4) – The cutting of off-moon communications signals the start of the Boskonian attack to capture the Whole Fenspace Catalogue and eliminate the Fen leadership. Only a quick response from Fen currently in their ships (or were/are their ships) prevents missile swarms from destroying the capacity to fight back. Fighting in the docking bays delays further launches before the first true fleet engagement in Human history takes place.
After four hours of fighting Fen reinforcements arrive and finally rout the Boskonians.
August 26, 2013 (Monday, Con Day 5) – Arguments continue as to how to prosecute what was now considered a war of survival. When forensic investigation of Boskonian wreckage lead to the source point of the enemy fleet (Boskone 1, codenamed ‘The Farm’ due to being a transfer hub)[1], the Factions decided to endorse the Space Patrol.
August 27, 2013 (Tuesday, Con Day 6) – Frantic overnight discussions and preparations lead to the Convention charter being distributed that day, with voting scheduled for Wednesday.
August 28, 2013 (Wednesday, Con Day 7) – The Space Patrol is inaugurated as a Convention organisation. Operation: Great Justice restructured and its flag moved to Arisia Station.
Fleet Operation Attila is assembled and authorised.
Final convention business and announcements are concluded, and the convention ends.
September 1, 2013 (Sunday) – Fleet Operation Attila launched against Boskone 1. Special Forces are inserted under cloak, allowing the Fen to secure Boskone prisoners, memory cores, and major docks after simultaneously disabling the asteroid’s sensors and coms. The main fleet comes in and uses the established beachhead to capture Boskone 1 with minimal casualties.
September 17, 2013 (Tuesday) – Boskone 2 is assaulted, crippling the Boskone ship supply.
September 18, 2013 (Wednesday) – An international force strikes the Earth-side Boskone shipyard code-named “Skull Cove”.
October 5, 2013 (Saturday) – The Space Patrol deploy their first FESWAT team to assist Crystal Tokyo Metropolitan Police in shutting down Thionite production in the Venus system. The central source of the mutated terraforming bacteria (called Boskone 3 after the fact) is captured.
October 31, 2013 (Thursday) – A Boskonian infiltration team successfully kidnap The Professor, and make off with equipment from the Sol Bianca.
November 11, 2013 (Monday) – The attack on Boskone 4 begins. Due to the ‘Briar Patch’ around the central asteroid it is slow going while trying to maintain an englobement.
November 12, 2013 (Tuesday) – Casualty numbers continue to climb on both sides as Great Justice forces carefully sweep the rock cloud. First recorded instance of ‘Chaos Marines’.
November 13, 2013 (Wednesday) – Great Justice forces finally breach the main asteroid. Casualties mount as they encounter dug in Boskonian positions. First Berserkers encountered. First Warbeasts encountered.
November 14, 2013 (Thursday) – Thirty Seven hours after breaching the main asteroid combat ceases. Dealing with the casualties and what was found during the assault will take another two weeks.
December 3, 2013 (Tuesday) – Due to the lack of other ground forces after Boskone 4, Space Patrol FESWAT teams lead the assault on Boskone 5.
December 16, 2013 (Monday) – The final records from Boskone 5 are cracked, revealing the existence of the fall-back point Boskone Prime.
December 19, 2013 (Thursday) – Surveillance begins on ‘the Dark Tower’.
January 3, 2014 (Friday) – Beacon established at ‘the White Tower’, 3990 Heimdal. This would be used as a fleet staging area for the assault on Boskone Prime.
January 11, 2014 (Saturday) – A Troubleshooter raid on a Boskonian base on Mars recovers The Professor. He had been kept awake for weeks at a time and forced to work for the Boskonians.
January 13, 2014 (Monday) – The Professor awakens after his rescue, and informs the authorities of the Boskonian’s ‘Scorched Earth’ plan.
January 14, 2014 (Tuesday) – The Great Justice fleet attacks Boskone Prime. A quickly thrown together defensive force barely stops the ‘Scorched Earth’ plan in Earth orbit. The first practicable particle beam weapon is used in anger against Boskone Prime. The first recorded death of an AI in cybercombat occus. Boskone Prime falls to the Fenspace Convention.
January 15, 2014 (Wednesday) – Victory celebrations at Port Phobos become a brawl. For the next two days a free for all occurs using every non-lethal weapon in the Fen arsenal. This leads to the founding of the Port Phobos Invitational.
[1]Delivered in spectacular fashion by a crowd of Fen lead by A.C. Peters of the Forensic team.
