Imperial Storm V

Imperial Storm V launches in just under 12 hours time, with the initial moves from team captains.
The plotline will also be fleshed out at that point.

Suffice to say at this point in time, the forces of the TIE Corps are launching an attack on the Ishtari, the insectoid race that bedeviled us in Raise the Flag 22. We have discerned the location of their home star cluster, the Assurian Halo and later today will begin our all out assault on their space, seeking to liberate the subjugated worlds of the cluster before pushing on into their home star systems later in the month.

What this means practically, for those new to Imperial Storm is that the Team Captains - Stryker, Genie and JetMech will be relaying daily orders to me to move their fleets around the map (see below) seeking to free the worlds marked in red whilst battling the Ishtari fleet (commanded by our own FA La'an).

When the two opposing fleets meet, we will have a battle. During a 48 hour window we will count all Legions of Combat and Legions of Skirmish that a team wracks up alongside scores in a designated Free Mission. How the TC team does or does not perform will also dictate the result of the Ishtari fleet and ultimately the outcome of the individual skirmishes.

Over the initial 14 days we will be running a fiction bonus competition, who's scores will act as a bonus during the final assault on the Ishtari homeworlds.
