Order of Ganymede Investigation

Year: 313 CE - tba

The Galactic Observation Society's monitoring division discovered that the Order of Ganymede had begun monitoring the rest of the Alpha Sol System rather than being completely insular, prompting the CSIS to send ships to investigate only for them to be relentlessly bombarded if they crossed within 1 million kilometres of Jupiter, with the firing stopping if they exited this radius, prompting the CSIS to send cloaked spy-drones instead which allowed them to see the new monitoring system and the OOG's fleet in Jupiter's upper atmosphere.

The CSIS kept inching close to Jupiter and ending up attacked, so it contacted the Order of Ganymede demanding access to Jupiter and to know why it kept them away, which the OOG received but initially ignored before clarifying that it wanted nothing to do with the CSIS and would not respond to further communication attempts as it isolated itself. A CSIS battleship infiltrated OOG space and was promptly fired upon once it entered their 'kill zone' which it survived due to using Ablative armour and powerful shields before leaving the radius. 100 CSIS ships and many spy satellites were placed around the killzone which the OOG considered to be a 'nuisance'. The CSIS sent a small stealth shuttle into the killzone which remained undetected for some time until the OOG's monitoring satellites seemed to be able to detect it after 20 minutes, so it turned off to make them stop paying attention but as it didn't move they kept looking at it. With the satellites turning their equipment towards the shuttle, it reactivated and launched missiles at the monitoring array before warping out of the killzone. CSIS' own monitoring equipment managed to observe a variety of crude structures without a clear purpose built onto Io, Callisto, Ganymede, Europa, and Amalthea alongside scans suggesting that the OOG was also active in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. Another stealth frigate was sent to get better scans, managing to notice something metallic in Jupiter's atmosphere as the satellites gradually noticed it and began blinking with a red light, leading to missiles from Europa being fired once the blinking was set to a pure unchanging red. CSIS kept sending frigates into OOG space which kept being caught faster and faster as the satellites learned how to detect CSIS cloaking devices, with fighters being sent in from deeper in the killzone to destroy them as the satellites had learned enough to detect the incoming frigates within 3 minutes. Whenever a frigate or shuttle decloaked to fire missiles at satellites, main OOG ships quickly detected them and opened fire, leading to very minimal details being recovered beyond the fact that the OOG had a few thousand vessels, especially as an attempt at capturing a monitoring satellite failed due to OOG ships hitting and destroying it. A OMM drone also began exploiting the situation, landing discretely on a monitoring satellite and using it as a position to scan for more details without causing turmoil. The CSIS on the other hand had different plans and summoned the Protoss Empire alongside its fleet, prompting the OOG to finally speak again via 'Io Communication Center 2-B' demanding an immediate cease of hostilities as it saw the tensions as completely unnecessary and didn't want to 'waste resources destroying the CSIS'. The CSIS and Protoss ignored this as the Protoss began sending its own tiny advanced drones into OOG space, which took ~30 minutes to begin being detected due to the monitoring network already being on high alert. Hoping to avoid another war, the OMM provided the CSIS with its own gathered information revealing that the monitoring satellites used telescopes and electromagnetic signal/signature detection systems directed by somekind of complex hardware or software, leading to the CSIS and Protoss reluctantly leaving the kill zone and returning to faraway scanning, which didn't reveal much new as it still appeared that visible major structures (such as communications systems and turrets) were only really on the 4 Galilean moons and Amalthea aside from some kind of levitating (with thrusters) spaceport in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. Despite largely withdrawing their military forces (aside from far-away surveillance systems), this atmospheric station caught CSIS attention, so they began surveilling the area with little success due to cloud coverage. The CSIS noticed that not much was changing other than increased internal communications within OOG Space, which the CSIS tried to decrypt with its AI systems with little success due to its very incoherent and choppy encryption method, with the only thing to be figured out first being that they were discussing the ongoing crisis. The CSIS placed a sputnik-like satellite in the killzone, which was shot once it was detected, only for it to actually be a hologram. A few words were decrypted; "Delay.... Situation......... End.......", though this also didn't lead far for now. While the OMM was sending more satellites disguised as asteroids to attach to more satellites, the CSIS first sent in a golf-ball and then a golden ball with a very simple circuit inside to intercept communications which managed to recover a OOG Callsign sent by a 1.6km -long destroyer in Callisto's orbit communicating with a on-surface structure on Ganymede. The CSIS tried one more time to tap into OOG communications, managing to decrypt one low-quality image of the inner Alpha Sool System from a monitoring satellite before the golden ball was found and destroyed.
