Overview[]
Location: Sol System
Book: All These Worlds
Date: April 2257
Enemy: The Others
Bobs: Several task groups of Bobs (only some of their names are given)
Casualties: Dozens of Bobs, who could later be restored from backup; and the entire Others fleet
Summary[]
As The Others approach the system, the Bobs begin a series of attacks, each less effective than planned. Meanwhile Herschel and Neil are trying to evacuate the entire human population from Earth using The Bellerophon. The Bobs are forced to fall back several times, until the Earth is in range of the Death Asteroids. Hannibal’s task group, The Jokers, intends on delivering the coup de grace via sneak attack, but is detected by a SUDDAR mega-ping. The Others deploy enough assets to win the battle, but at the last minute, Bill improvises an attack that disables the remaining Others’ ships and wins the battle for the Bobs… and humanity.
