    Default The Invasion of Gumpalt

    Throughout the system of Gumpalt, claxons begin to wail as sensor screens and proximity alerts light up. An expeditionary fleet from Solaris has just breached the sector's sovereign borders. Long anticipated and feared, war had finally arrived. While an inquest from the Lord Justicar had cleared the Gumpalt System of any wrongdoing in relation to the bombing of the Golden Patriarch trade centre, House Altaine appeared to disagree. Transmissions were sent to House Varsens of Durdane to notify them of the development.

    Leading from the bridge of the AFV Aquisition, Lord Eligio Altaine addressed the system laying before him. "The people of Solaris have called out for justice for the last three years - justice for those murdered during an attack orchestrated by the Lords of Gumpalt. The findings of the Lord Justicar are null and void - the Altaine do not recognising their results; they are flawed and incorrect. Attacks on our border since then sealed your fate. The High Lords and government of Gumpalt are to surrender themselves to Altaine custody, or a state of total war will exist between our nations. You have one hour to comply."

    The mercenary forces of Shield Security Services, Escort Services and Spacelane Management spread out in a wide picket chevron ahead of the main fleet. They were to break up and contain any inbound defenders, so main fleet elements could deploy to destroy them by detail. It was not a coincidence that this would leave the Altaine auxiliary forces bearing the brunt of any initial casualties.

    Advancing in two prongs towards Gumpalt Prime, the fleets of the Aquisition and Patriarch prepared to envelope and obliterate all that stood before them. Heavy cruisers matched speed with the lumbering battleships, while screen ships buzzed around their larger charges like a swarm of Insects. The next hour would determine whether they were to be accepted as occupiers or opposed as conquerors.
