With the Empire having regained its footing after the sudden rebellion, the Imperial High Command decided it was time to make use of its initiative of reorganizing quicker. They made the first major move deploying multiple fleets and their accompanying Imperial legions towards their first strategic targets...

The first Imperial targets were Tusmilia, an Arxa (citadel-world), Gonides, another Arxa, and Jusnone, a major Industria (Industrial-world). Those targets were of great strategic importance towards the Republican cause, as they were frontline worlds, that, if had been fully garrisoned in time and made full use of would have possibly spelled defeat for the Imperial forces. But fortunately for the Imperials. Tusmilia, Gonides, and Jusnone had only skeleton garrisons currently as the main forces were organizing before making their way to the front.

The three-prong strike began, and it's success was obvious, while naval defenses were stationed to orbit the planet, they were mere destroyers and corvettes in competition against Imperial battleships and cruisers. The Republican garrison navies folded, but, in the case of Tusmilia and Gonides, that was merely the first level of orbital defense. Having recovered from the initial surprise attack. The orbital defense system had calibrated and began targeting the Imperial ships, casting destructive volleys towards the Empire to hold them back.

However Jusnone told a different story, with the garrison fleet gone, the Empire was free to begin strategic orbital bombardments without major planetery fire on important Republican locations before deploying it's first wave of shock forces, Evocinnaires were launched from orbital drop pods down to the surface below.

War has truly begun and the blood spilled here will define the future of Enyode.
