Launch Order: The Commonwealth AeroSpace Force in the First War was a written work, authored by Refarra Tels and published by Donegal Martial Books, in 2890.[1]
Overview[edit]
This work provided a history of the Lyran Commonwealth's aerospace forces during the First Succession War.
It included an account of a successful Free Worlds League raid on the Commonwealth's Bolson Shipyards in the New Kyoto system during February 2787, which ended when a Colonel Thompson disabled the FWLS Rasalas via a kamikaze suicide attack, only for the out of control ship to plunge into the shipyards he was trying to protect. Thompson's wife and fellow Lyran pilot Rebecca Thompson, whose presumed death earlier in the raid Refarra Tels speculated inspired the suicide run, was noted to have actually survived and to have gone on to have a distinguished career later in the war.[1]
