fist of the empire
LAUNCH DATE: 9 JULY SATURDAY
AN AGE OF STRIFE STORY
THE TION NECESSITY
SHADOWS OF TREACHERY
The Tion Republic remains stalwart in the face of rising Imperial aggression, their efforts to resist The Empire showing resilient success in spite of the loss of a few border worlds on the frontiers of their star cluster. Aided in part by the efforts of the Rebel Alliance in the defense of the sovereign Republic, the core worlds of Tion have yet to be brought beneath the boot of the Empire, though such defiance has not gone unnoticed, and contingencies were activated to bring them under Imperial subjugation once and for all.
Utilizing the assassination of an Imperial ambassador to the Republic as the pretext for hostilities, all perceived efforts on the Empire's behalf for negotiations and settlements have broken down completely, and the narrative within the Empire would shift to one of vengeance for the loss of their own, and the toppling of a regime which encourages the political assassination of foreign dignitaries.
Of course, the circumstances behind the assassination were muddled at best, and though none could prove that the Empire's hand had guided the plot from the start, a sliver of doubt could be inferred with enough digging into the events which led to the ambassador's death. But nonetheless, the die had been cast, and the Empire shifted its strategy from one of restraint, and dedicated the resources necessary for a full-scale invasion of the Tion Cluster at once.
The success of the invasion hinges on the victory of the Empire's primary assault group into the heart of Tion itself, a sizable contingent being dedicated to toppling the government with the subsequent invasion and occupation of its capital planet of New Alderaan, and the city of New Aldera itself.
But the Imperial Navy finds itself deterred from committing to orbital operations in scale, halted in their tracks by the strategic placement of New Aldera Orbital Defense Base on the ground, its sizable array of batteries being fully capable of delivering deadly firepower to the Imperial fleets lingering just out of weapon's range. In response to this dire threat to their operation, the Imperials enact a system-wide blockade centered around New Alderaan as its focus, and deploy several smaller task forces of light escorts and assault vessels to capture New Aldera itself, and render the Orbital Defense Base inoperative through the precision use of the Stormtrooper Corps.
Left with no other options but to fight for their sovereignty or concede to the Empire, the Tion Republic sends a call for assistance to the Galactic Alliance, their communications to the Core being arbitrated by their Rebel Alliance contacts embedded within their military. The Galactic Alliance, forever the shining beacon of democracy and freedom to the galaxy at large, responds favorably to the plight of a Republic on the brink of extinction, bringing together former allies who once fought against the Sith side-by-side, into a conflict long-brewing behind the scenes, simmering through the dogma of geopolitics and ideology, and boiling over into a clash of freedom and order.
OBJ I - IRON STORM
SUGGESTED FOR: Duelists and Warposters
New Aldera is burning.
For weeks now, the once shining capital of the proud Alderaani refugees, has been lit ablaze in a fiery clash between the forces of the Empire and those of the Tion Republic, aided by the Galactic Alliance. Imperial Knights and Stormtroopers lead the ruthless ground offensive into the urban jungle of the city fighting against the valiant defense of Jedi and Alliance Soldiers who have been embedded amidst the people for days. Each claimed inch of concrete counts.
OBJ II - AEGIS OF LIBERTY
SUGGESTED FOR: Special Forces & Intelligence Operatives
The New Aldera Orbital Defense Base is all that stands between New Alderaan and the might of the Imperial Fleet. Realizing its importance, the SIA, along with Jedi, have managed to commandeer its security. As a key strategic asset, one that may very well quickly clinch victory for the Empire, the Imperial High Command has sent its most elite troopers and operatives from the Special Forces and ISB to disable the deterrent that keeps the Navy at bay.
Alarms blare through the platform as the outer perimeter is breached by Imperials and the fight for each inch of the facility begins.
OBJ III - ECLIPSE THE STARS
SUGGESTED FOR: FLEETERS and SPACE ENJOYERS
The Imperial Navy has formed a tight blockade over the world, effectively besieging and isolating it from the rest of the galaxy. With each passing day, the noose around the Tion Cluster's throat tightens. Answering the call for aid from the Tion Republic, the Alliance Navy emerges from hyperspace to relieve the defenders and break the Imperial blockade over the planet. Star Destroyers and Cruisers clash setting the very stars ablaze.
