Mikko was hurting.
They had lost a friend. They had lost a Father. They had lost a guide. Death comes for all - but in its wake there is always a void. No amount of sorrow can ever fill the gaping hole left behind...but the people responded as people do. They filled the abyss with their anger. They filled the abyss with their fear. And soon, the grief-stricken world had turned against itself.
The Emperor was a guiding light to his people. By his hand did the planet remain neutral, despite the expansion of the border Confederacy and Empire. By his hand did the people remain confident that they could weather any storm. But in the wake of his death, two camps rose to replace him. Both were championed by a son. Both were upheld by claims of being the rightful heir. Both had come to terms with the fact that neutrality would not be an option for long...and so the youngest cast his lot in support of the Empire while the eldest made his plea to the Confederacy.
And whilst the the youngest's forces occupied the Mikko capital, expelling the elder from their home, his cries were answered. In but an instant, the heavens shuddered as Storm Fleet roared into realspace.
The Confederacy had come to Mikko.
The Civil War was at an end.
Objectives:
Seize and Maintain Superiority over Mikko's airspace: Armed forces supporting the Young Heir have effectively blockaded Mikko's upper atmosphere via local capital ships and ground side AA weaponry. Break their hold on the skies and keep our path forward clear.
Free the Capital: The Royal Palace and Imperial City have been overrun with forces loyal to the Young Heir. A curfew has been installed along with martial law. Expel the enemy from the city and take back the capital.
By this Rite: To be coronated, the True Heir requires the blessing of the ancestral spirits located within the capital city. Confront this obstacle by guiding the spirits to his location and naming him Emperor of Mikko.
