			==The Salvo Method==
			:Turn -> Phase -> Stage
			*Turns are the largest time unit in the salvo method. They are the time scale in which ships move, aircraft are reloaded and make strategic moves, etc. As a general rule, ships move one range bracket per turn. Repairs and Damcon are done in turns.
			*Phases are the time units in which weapons fire happens and aircraft make tactical moves. As a general rule, aircraft and missiles move one range bracket per phase and weapons fire (or cycle) once.
			*Stages are the smallest time unit and are the steps taken to resolve actions.

			There are at least three phases per turn; given speed differences there could be upwards of 20 but as air units are broadly non-loitering it can be assumed that a turn includes 'empty' phases.


			Single Turn
			***Damage Control: Roll what needs to be rolled for damage control.
			***Search Roll: Roll to detect enemy force(s). Several (2? 3?) stages of quality of detection. Bonus if you can get a launch off undetected.
			***Move ships
			**Extreme bracket
			***Acquisition Roll: Roll to acquire inbound strike package. If this fails, defender may not fire. Once each package is acquired, it is tracked and does not to be rolled against again.
			***Intercept Roll: Roll weapons capable of extreme-range intercept
			***Move Air units: Reduce range by 1 bracket
			***Gunnery: Roll ship gunnery vs other ships
			**Long bracket
			***Acquisition Roll
			***Intercept Roll
			***Move Air units
			***Gunnery
			**Mid bracket
			***Acquisition Roll
			***Intercept Roll
			***Move Air units
			***Gunnery
			**Short bracket
			***Intercept Roll Roll weapons capable of short-range intercept or better
			***Selection Roll Roll to determine what weapons are going for what targets
			***CIWS Roll Roll CIWS to defend against inbound missiles before they hit
			***Missile Attack Roll Roll weapon to-hit
			***Gunnery Roll ship gunnery vs other ships
			New Turn


			Attack options:
			*Raid All-out attack. This is performed by a squadron; defending against one uses one full unit of missiles.
			Sweep This is a small action, using no more than a squadron. Defensively a ship does not expend a unit of missiles to fight a Sweep
			*Salvo This is a ship firing a full unit of offensive missiles. Like a Raid, defending against it requires one full unit of SAMs
			*Strike A strike is the ship equivalent of a Sweep, firing a small number of missiles (or even just one). This does not expend a unit of missiles, nor does a ship expend a unit to defend
			*Bombardment Using direct fire (gun) systems until one side is crippled or retreats. Cannot be hard killed.


			Glossary
			*Missile Unit: One 'magazine' of missiles, comparable to the armament of a squadron of aircraft. In practical terms, typically 30-40 SAMs or a somewhat smaller number of offensive weapons.
			*SAM: Defensive missile, can be used against planes or missiles
			*ASM: Anti-ship missile
			*LAM: Land attack missile
			*CIWS: Point defense systems; guns, very small missiles, etc. Functionally unlimited ammunition.
			*Gun: A gun system, which may be more than one actual gun or turret. Functionally unlimited ammunition.
			*Big Gun: A very large gun system, battleship caliber. Incapable of defensive fire. Functionally unlimited ammunition
			*Hard Kill: Shooting things down with SAMs or guns.
			*Soft Kill: Making things miss via electronics warfare, decoys, etc.
			*ACM: Air Combat Maneuvers - 'dogfighting'
			*ASW: Anti-sub warfare. Technically dropping umbral charges and the like so it should be AUW, but who's counting.
			*Strike Package An offensive action, from a single missile (see 'strike' attack) to a large raid of planes and missiles.

			Unit types (Air)
			*Dogfighter: Lightweight air-superiority craft; Mustangs, Spitfires, X-Wings, Starfuries, MiG-21s, F-5s, etc
			*Striker: Light attack craft; Stukas, Devastators, Y-Wings, Predator drones, Super Tucanos.
			*Medium Bomber: Small semi-strategic aircraft. Can be tough, but clumsy compared to a fighter-type. Cheap (ie, numerous) anti-surface. B-17s
			*Super Dog: Heavyweight, high-powered air-superiority craft with a strong dogfight emphasis that can also perform strike missions; Macross Valkyries
			*Heavy Bomber: Large strategic air, often bristling with (defensive) guns. Extremely long range. Tu-95, B-52s.
			*Multirole Fighter: 4th/5th gen-style 'modern' fighter, full of expensive electronics. Not as good as a super dog at ACM, but has long range missiles and well-rounded ewar.
			*Fast Bomber :High speed strategic air, loaded with a combination of speed and stealth. B-1s, Backfires.
			*Vertol: Space-helicopters. Mostly built for utility, but can be easily converted to their most common support role of ASW.

			==Iteration III==
			All dates ending in X are approximate

			*204x - Discovery of the Jovian Polar Structure
			*205x (late) - Manned travel to Jovian subsystem, unmanned exploration of the Jovian Polar Structure (JPS) by the Zeus Program
			*206x - Xeno-craft from the JPS recovered. Human travel to the JPS feasible.
			*206x (late) - JPS moved into Jovian orbit.
			*207x - First interstellar ship launched using extant hardware from the JPS. Copies are soon made.
			*207x (late) - First Urenbeck Gate opened between Sol and Alpha Centauri AB
			*208x-210x - Solar Gate Network constructed centered on the Jovian Nexus; multiple research colonies founded in nearby star systems.
			*2080s to 2120s - Golden years of human augmentation
			*211x - Great Gate opened between the Jovian Nexus and the distant Hypergrid. Wonderland Mission launched. First contact with the 'Greys'. First footsteps on a human-compatible, non-artificial biosphere (Terranova).
			*211x-213x - Discovery of the Jewels, 'Greybuster squads' stood up, UN-mandated colonization begins.
			*213x-217x - Iron Age of human augmentation.
			*213x-2230x - 'Earth Grid' colonizing continues under national auspices, crude terraforming efforts becoming far more effective as technology and artifacts are recovered from the Hypergrid. Prestige for everyone!
			*214x - First contact with the TTK; First Contact War (little more than a skirmish), human forces totally defeated. Secondary colonies start to spring up.
			*214x-218x - Tertiary colonization down back routes such as the Erebus Drift and the Rainbow Bridge.
			*215x-220x - Diamond Age of human augmentation.
			*218x - Second Contact War, round 2 against the TTK. Humans still get their foolish faces beat in.
			*221x - Third Contact War. Humans beat up the Lizards and set up a UN Mandate.
			*221x-224x - Brushfires wars in tertiary colonies.
			*224x (late) - Great Gate malfunctions. Crap.
			*225x - Homebound Mission launches carrying duplicate spares to repair the Great Gate.
			*227x - Hemisphere War on Elysium.
			*228x - The Snake and the Mantis.
			*231x - Homebound Mission finally reach Earthspace.
