<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== 2670 ==<br /> <br /> <br /> Fearing a military coup by the Belisarius Group, the Confederation scrambles to reduce its armed forces.<br /> False Colors<br /> <br /> <br /> The Senate requires that the number of fighter squadrons be cut by one-third. Adm. Geoffrey Tolwyn works<br /> around the requirement by raising the number of fighters in an average squadron from ten back to the<br /> pre-war level of sixteen. In response, the Senate demands that the 40-series carriers be scrapped and<br /> that 11,000 military personnel are dropped from active duty.<br /> <br /> <br /> The Terran Confederation military begins a downsizing program. Moonbase Tycho’s complement is reduced<br /> to one quarter of its wartime strength.<br /> <br /> <br /> The Free Republic of the Landreich begins buying surplus warships from the Terran Confederation.<br /> A special team for reviewing and refitting ships as quickly as possible is formed.<br /> Four light cruisers, including the TCS Andromache (FRLS Thermistocles), are purchased – as are three escort carriers,<br /> including the TCS Tarawa (FRLS Independence) and the TCS Saipan (FRLS Arbroath).<br /> The third (second purchased) escort carrier is named FRLS Magna Carta.<br /> The nation also begins recruiting notable Confederation officers.<br /> Adm. Richards ostensibly retires from Terran Confederation Naval Intelligence to serve as part of the core<br /> leadership for President Kruger’s expanding post-war navy.</div>
