Earth's fleet begins blockade of Eskelia

Military action

In response to threats on civilian ships and orbital habitats. The Earth government sends in a fleet of forty one Federal Forces military ships to Eskelia and immediately start a blockade of the planet and force the local government to allow more passenger ships to the surface.

The Earth Government sends in the Federal Forces in an attempt to bring the Eskelian Government, who many on Earth now view as a rogue entity, under control. Forty one ships, many of which designed to planetary combat, are sent through the slipstream gate and rendezvous with private companies on the other side.   These ships take up positions around the planet and force the local government to accept civilian passenger ships. The Federal Ships blockade the station, preventing much needed supplies from reaching the planets surface. This causes tension to rise on the planet, and sentiments toward the Earth Government to sour.
