Beginning of the Arboris Campaign
Arboris kicked everyone off their planet and left behind 9 regiments of farmers-turned-infantry. The world had pro-Liao and pro-FedCom units with mechs and vees, and the locals kicked them both off.
In the last few years of going it alone, Arboris has been subjected to raids and such. (In real life, Arboris will choose to join the Blake Protectorate voluntarily without a shot being fired. We’ll make it a little harder than that). Arboris has one of the most anti-Great House streaks in the entire area.
As the number of independent worlds in the Chaos March has steadily dwindled, there have been fewer and fewer places for bandits and pirates to use as a base for raiding. It was originally places like Bryant, Fletcher, Acamar, as well as many others. As we’ve captured some worlds, we’ve forced the bandits into smaller and smaller options.
Some worlds that were recently free, such as Keid and New Home, are horrible choices for bandits due to the previous presence of Lyran Guard. Caph was too small (and too far away) so Carver V/Liberty and Arboris were used as homeworlds.
So it’s time to take Arboris. The locals are a lot more willing to treat with us than with a Great House.
Chief Ingrid Foster believes we have between four and five pirate groups using Arboris as a foundation for raids against nearby worlds. Our goal is to arrive in the Arboris system, either destroy or drive out those five groups, and then assist the government of Arboris as needed to regain supplies and control of some regions of the planet. Roughly 50% of Arboris is three major continents, so there is a lot of place for hiding.
We don’t expect massive numbers of resistance. Metal Battalion from Epsilon Regiment should be enough mech-age. We also send some major naval and aerospace assets, in case we come across DropShips and JumpShips in space.
In order to help win the battle, we have the Vengeance with its 40 fighters, all of our assault DropShips, and some of our JumpShips to help us out, led by our WarShip. This small stuff is fine.
