Admiral Tolwyn...

What? Did you read Fleet Action?

WORNING MAJOR FLEET ACTION SPOILERS AHEAD!


The Confed was gaining an edge in the war, the Kilrathi didn't have any new carriers coming online because of the raides deep into the Cat teritory by the new escort carriers. They were also runing short on transports, because they were using most of them to construct new super carrier, and thus win the war. But it looked like Confed had at least a few months to use that advantage, and the new Kilrathi Carriers were still not finished. So Baron Jukaga proposed to the Emperor that they should propose peach to the Terrans, wait till they can finish the new carriers and than strike at Earth itself. The navy, and space forces didn't belive them, but the Confed governmet agreed and the cease fire was signed. Later a two escort carriers (Tarawa and the Normandy) flying under the Landreich flag were sent to the Hari space (another race concuerd by Kilrathi long ago) to try and find proof of the super carrier. They found it and sent a report back to Confed. Confed started mobilizing their fleet but it would take few months to get the fleet back to it's full strength. So with 5 fleet carriers (one of them didn't even have a jump drive and was just sent as a diversion to buy some time IIRC) Tolwyn was to stop them.(Tolwyn was in comand of third fleet after most of the generals and admirals including admiral Banbridge were killed in an explosion caused by a Kilrathi spy) The fleet met the Kilrahti few jumps from Earth, but than retreated back to Earth space and the final battle took place there. Big Duke One, the chief of staf after all other chiefs of stuff were killed in that exposion along with many other marines boards the new Kilrathi carriers, set up matter-antimatter mines inside and manage to destroy most of the carriers, and criple the rest. And that's how the Confed fleet pushed back the Kilrathi attack. That's the story of the False Peace.
Wow that was long.

This Baron Jukaga must have been a real hairball. 'Twould be dishonourable to even make such a suggestion. But at least that clears Melek and Thrak.
 
But what he did at the end was realy cool. The Emperor wanted to get rid of him, so he had Thrak put him onto one of the destroyer. That destroyer was sent with some other ones straight for Earth, it was suposed to launch thermo-nuclear bombs or something like that, to make Earth unhabitable just like the Kilrathi did with many worlds on their way to our beautifull homeworld. When they were about to launch Jukaga shot most of the people at the bridge, before he was shot himself. He was lying on the floor still keeping his gun trained on other Kilrathi. Then Tarawa jumped in at a dangerous speed from Landreich and destroyed that destroyer. So basicly he saved Earth. To bad though, I would prefer that he was captured, gave a formal apology on the Confed news, and than comited zu'kara.

It was a cruiser (several cruisers), actually.

One questions whether or not this was to get rid of Jukaga (since the attack wasn't *supposed* to fail), but rather to simply force him into doing something he didn't want to do (drop the warheads).

Furthermore, Jukaga wouldn't have *apologized* for his actions -- he was a patriot, just not one who agreed with Thrakhath and company. He wanted to see Kilrah win the war, but he knew how that should be done differently.

Well Thrak, and the Emperor were talking about geting rid of Jukaga, aranging an acident or something like that. Maybe they thought that after the ship he was on launched the bombs it would be destroyed by any remaining Confed forces.

I know he was a patriot, and that he wouldn't apologize. But I would prefer if he did it that way. And actualy he did apologize to Tolwyn before the Cats nuked Warsaw. SOB's that planet was a colony of my people!

Now I'm confused. So was this Jukaga guy the one who came up with the treacherous, dishonourable plan to break the treaty, or was he an honourable feline? Or was he both, and that's why he commited Zu'kara?
And what didn't he agree with Thrak about?
 
Jukaga was the one who proposed the treaty. Between the snooping in Hari space by Paladin & Co. for the Hakaga construction yards, and bungling (intentional or otherwise is debatable) on the part of the Kilrathi, though, the cover story unraveled faster than the baron had planned, which is why they only had 5 Hakagas available for when they did come.

As for what he and Thrak disagreed on, most everything. According to Jukaga, the Kiranka clan (Thrak, Emporer) don't deserve to rule the empire, unlike the baron's clan, whose name I forget off the top of my head, which were defeated in one of the civil wars in the kats' past.

Quarto- He didn't bring the plan to end the treaty, it was his plan to start the treaty in the first place and than come with an overwhelming force and win without practicly any fight from us. Jukaga was in a way honorbale, he wanted to become the Emperor and even tried to asasinate both the Emperor and Thrak. He hated them for leading the Empire into a war that didn't have an end in sight. He was also the head of spies for the Kilrathi. He studied the humans and knew more about them than any of those other stupid Cats and he didn't agree with the Emperor and Thrak that they were going to kill us. He did respect us, and even admired us in a way. His plan was that they would wait for a year, maybe more, the Confed military would be completly disarmed and they would have to surender when all 12 of the Hakaga class carriers were ready, but he wanted to spare the terrans. And of course he didn't comit zu'kara, he was killed on that cruiser when it was destroyed by the fighters from Tarawa. He did save Earth though, and I think he was a great character.

Ok, I'm starting to understand this now. He wanted to enslave mankind because of the respect he had for us...

Earthworm: Get over it.
 
I can't it's just horible!

He wanted to win, he wanted to be the Emperor, but he didn't want to kill us. He studied us for a long time and he started to identify with some of us. He had respect for us, knew we weren't just prey to be hunted down and exterminated and he wanted to spare humans.

It was Jukaga's idea to create the 'false peace'. He intended from the very beginning to break it, once the Kilrathi had put the Hakagas into service. Thrakhath changed the plan and attacked earlier than anticipated.

Okay, maybe this was mentioned above, but why was Earth bombarded with antimatter torpedoes, but Warsaw and Gilead struck with radiostronium-encased hydrogen bombs?

Perhaps because the Kilrathi like variety in their nukes

Earth was being bombed in the same manner as Gilead, Sirius Prime, Warsaw and others -- the cruisers launching the missiles were destroyed after launching the first wave of anti-matter weapons (to nullify the planet's defense network) but before launching the ecosystem destroying bombs.

Ah, that makes sense. I haven't read Fleet Action since I re-read the entire Wing Commander series at the beginning of the school year. Right now, I'm too into Forstchen's Lost Regiment series to read anything else.
