BATTLE FOR VENICE
Terran Intelligence reports that the Kilrathi High Command is directing war efforts from the Venice System. Reconnaissance patrols identify Kilrathi ships and boldly give chase, uncovering an Imperial starbase. The Terran patrols are lost, but not before relaying their coordinates back to HQ.

A small Terran fleet of elite fighters is dispatched aboard the Tiger's Claw to attack the Imperial starbase. The Kilrathi resist strongly against the attack, but are eventually overpowered. Badly beaten, the Kilrathi move their central military command back to their homeworld of Kilrah.

GODDARD DESTROYED
Shortly after intelligence reports indicate that the Kilrathi have developed a new weapon for use against inhabited planets, all contact is lost with the Goddard colony. The Confederation fleet arrives at Goddard only to find that the quarter-million colonists were all killed when the Kilrathi bombarded the colony with their new weapon.

GODDARD AVENGED
Deeply angered by the Goddard tragedy, the Confederation carrier Tiger's Claw pursues the Kilrathi strike force into enemy territory, where it overcomes an ambush by a captured Confederation Exeter-class ship. Reconnaissance ships eventually locate the KIS Sivar, the dreadnought ship suspected of carrying the prototype weapon. The Tiger's Claw follows, and in a stunning display of deep space logistics and fighting skill, eliminates the dreadnought.

BATTLE FOR FIREKKA
In 2653, the Confederation pledges to protect a newly discovered bird-like race called the Firekkans, who plan to ally with the Confederation.

In the interim, a huge Kilrathi battle fleet commanded by Prince Thrakhath and his Drakhrai Imperial Guard moves into the Firekkan System. The fleet's intent is unknown until the Kilrathi defector Ralgha nar Hhallas exposes a plan to use Firekka for a religious ritual in which warriors rededicate themselves to Sivar, the Kilrathi god of war. The Confederation decides to disrupt the religious ceremony in hopes of breaking enemy morale. Marine troopships jump into the system and stage an assault on the Kilrathi priestesses.

The mission is successful, and the Tiger's Claw retreats to Terran-controlled space under heavy Kilrathi pursuit. In short order, Firekkan natives revolt and force the remaining Kilrathi forces to withdraw.

FIRST ENIGMA CAMPAIGN
Confederation forces attempt to remove the Kilrathi from Enigma sector, where strategic jump nodes lead directly to human core colonies. The campaign ends in failure when an attack on the Kilrathi Enigma sector headquarter at K'Tithrak Mang fails, and the renowned Tiger's Claw ambushed and destroyed by Kilrathi stealth fighters.
