And The Emperor Cometh
The intel reports were flying in like mad. Desk workers, agents, military officials all ran around like frightened rats trying to get a hold on the situation.
No matter the confusion, the message was simple:
Santa Babara has abondoned Mars.
This was the change the Emperor was waiting for and he took it. He ordered three fleets to Mars. They would carry enough men to secure half of what Santa Babara left behind.
OOC: Sorry about the shrortness, I was in a hurry when I typed this. More will come later.
ooc: I think you should make a note however, that there is also a Tyranid invasion going on in Mars. Specifically on Santa Noachia soil. It's being RP'd on a separate forum, so you'll have to ask someone else about the current status of it. In short, I don't think its going to be as easy as planting a flag and claiming it as your own ^_~
OOC: Oh, i'm perfectly ready to start taking lives if anyone attacks me ;)
The fleets hovered over the planet in geosyncronys orbit. They carefully watched the scene below them unfold.
They were careful not to appear hostile. They were not there to intimidate, there were there to occupy open land.
The admiral of the fleets soon decided waiting may be in vein. The troops would land and set up a single base in the old Santa Babara territory. They relized this was a zone of fighting but they had to take the chance.
On Mars
A total of 100,000 Battle Droids along with 100,000 Heavy/Light Desert troopers and 100,000 engineers and some artillery to fortify the base. They stayed in a small area and began using their supplies to build a fort.
They were constantly being watched over by Largentian fighters in the sky. They were to only attack if attacked. The rules of engagement were strict as well.
The troopers surveyed the area around them. The found that they were in a generally flat area. They knew a Santa Babarian city was directly to the north. They did not know it Santa Babara was still here or not. They would have to find out soon.
Within several hours the for was completed. The guns were installed and jobs were given. The fort was to be called Fort Necessity.
Martian Space
The Largentian fleet just received an urgent message. Tyrandis occupied Santa Barbara's land.
They had to tell ground forces to be on high alert or they would be in the middle of a slaughter house.
Mars
Fort Necessity was just receiving the message. They also were informed that many more ground forces from Largent would be arriving. They totaled around one million ground forces.
