     Aivars Terekhov, with the aid of the Montanan authorities, commandeers the Kalokainos Shipping-owned, Solarian-registered freighter Copenhagen to scout the Monica system.

     The Monica system deploys Technodyne-built missile pods for shipyard and system defense.

     The Talbott Constitutional Convention on Spindle passes a draft constitution for the Talbott Cluster preperatory to annexation into the Star Kingdom of Manticore.

     The first of the Monican Indefatigable-class battlecruisers recomissions after undergoing moderate refitting to disguise the ships' previous ownership.

     Responding to dispatches from Captain Terekhov, elements of the Manticoran Home Fleet depart for the Monica system to reinforce Terekhov's ad-hoc squadron.

     The Battle of Monica, where Captain Aivars Terekhov leads a ten-ship ad-hoc squadron against the Monica system. After demanding a stand-down, the RMN units come under missile pod fire. In reply, the RMN units destroy nine battlecruisers in their refit slips at Monica's primary naval construction node at Eroica Station as well as three other newly-recommissioned Indefatigable-class battlecruisers that maneuvered to counter-attack his ships.

     Reinforcements, under the command of Admiral Khumalo, arrive in the Monica system from Spindle, relieving the heavily damaged HMS Hexapuma and its few remaining consorts after its week-long stand-off with the remaining Monica system defenders.

     The Battle of Lovat. A Manticoran deep-raiding force lead by Admiral Alexander-Harrington turns the Republic of Haven Navy ambush against the RN by their first combat-deployment of the new FTL-comm-based long-range missile targeting system, code-named Apollo, which results in long-range hit probabilities being increased by at least an order of magnitude.

     The Battle of Lovat. Javier Giscard loses his entire Republic of Haven Navy ambush force to Honor Harrington's first combat deployment of the long-range targeting system code-named Apollo.

     With initial field repairs complete, HMS Hexapuma departs the Monica system for Manticore in company with HMS Warlock.

     HMS Hexapuma and HMS Warlock arrive at the Lynx Terminus to return to Manticore.

     The First Battle of Manticore where Republican forces strike directly at the heart of the war-fighting capability of the Manticoran Alliance.
     
     Correctly anticipating that fleet-wide deployment of the new long-range targeting system first observed at the Battle of Lovat would doom the Republic to military defeat, the Republic of Haven launches the greatest space-naval attack in human history. Approximately two hundred and fifty capital ships of the RN directly attack Manticore-A with another one hundred capital ships forming a 'mouse-trap' reserve waiting in hyperspace to ambush the expected relief arriving from Trevor's Star.
     
     Fully half of the Manticoran and Republican battle lines are wiped out in an afternoon.

     Jack McBryde, trapped in the Mesan Alignment's Gamma Center research facility, activates several contingency plans for the center: releasing a worm to attack Mesan computer networks and detonating kiloton-range nuclear device beneath Gama Center to act as a distraction while Anton Zilwicki, Victor Caschat and Herlander Simões escape the planet.

     Anton Zilwicki and Victor Cachat detonate their own diversionary nuclear charge, allowing the Mesan authorities to believe they'd been killed before being able to escape from Mesa.

     First New Tuscany. After the sabotage and complete destruction of the primary New Tuscan space station Giselle by Mesan interests, Admiral Josef Byng, SLN, erroneously leaps to the conclusion that Manticore was behind its destruction and orders his battlecruiser-led task force to fire upon and destroy three nearby RMN destroyers in New Tuscany orbit.

     Second New Tuscany. After refusing Adm. Henke's order to stand down his forces in New Tuscany orbit, preparatory to an RMN investigation into the previous New Tuscan Incident, SLNS Jean Bart, Adm. Byng's flagship, is destroyed with all hands while attempting to flee the system, convincing his next-in-command to surrender the SLN task force to the RMN's Tenth Fleet.

     Sir Lyman Carmichael, the Manticoran Ambassador to the Solarian League, delivers official notice of the events of First New Tuscany to League Foreign Minister Marcelito Lorenzo Roelas y Valiente.

     The Battle of Spindle, where Admiral Sandra Crandall, SLN, in direct response to the humiliating defeat of Adm. Josef Byng at Second New Tuscany, attacks the Spindle System with a force of seventy one superdreadnoughts.
     Her demands for a Manticoran surrender unheeded and not believing the preposterous reports of Manticoran military capabilities, she attacks the capital of the Talbot Quadrant: her force is shattered. A third of her ships are totally destroyed or mission-killed in a single salvo launched by a mixed force of RMN cruisers defending the system.
     Her surviving units surrender: only the second time an SLN Admiral has surrendered in its history.

     Oyster Bay, the successful Mesan Alignment strike against the spaceborne heavy military industrial infrastructure of the Star Empire of Manticore and the Protectorate of Grayson.
     The Manticoran Alliance's core shipbuilding, munitions manufacturing and research and development capability is virtually completely destroyed.

     Anton Zilwicki and Victor Cachet arrive in the Haven system with their intelligence bonanza from Mesa.

     Queen Elizabeth addresses the Star Kingdom, confirming reports that the Solarian League has dispatched a force of several hundred superdreadnoughts to directly attack the Manticoran capital in response to the League's defeat at Spindle.

     In a dramatic gesture, President Eloise Pritchart of the Republic of Haven arrives at Trevor's Star aboard Haven One with information critical to the survival of the Star Empire or Manticore.

     Republican President Eloise Pritchart personally delivers to Queen Elizabeth of Manticore information regarding the long-range nature and targets of the Mesan Alignment after unilaterally informing the queen of her unprovable belief that the Republican Secretary of State deliberately altered their pre-war diplomatic notes which lead to the resumption of hostilities.

     Republican President Eloise Pritchart personally offers Queen Elizabeth of Manticore a military alliance against the Solarian League to attempt to defuse the brewing undeclared war and stop the expected SLN attack upon the Manticore System by Admiral Filareta.
     
     The Second Havenite War ends.

     The Second Battle of Manticore where Admiral Massimo Filareta directly attacks the Manticore Binary System with 427 Solarian League Navy superdreadnoughts and is met by the Star Empire of Manticore's Home Fleet and allies.
