~Military Council, Winchester, Newtdom. Monday, 11:43 A.M.~
The Emperor studied the map presented to him by his Military Council. The map was essentially the same as it would be any other day, except for the uncolonized border islands circled in red. The briefing was coming to an end, and the talk of the invasion had been concluded for some time, but it still lingered in the Emperor's subconscious. He thought of the men or material that may be lost, but clearly the benefits of securing these islands exceeded the possible cost. So it had been decided, and the troops were already being mobilized.

~Monday 5:30 P.M.~
The first wave of the invasion began. It would consist of the entire 1st Army, commanded by Field Marshall Lord William Wolfe himself. In order to ensure a smooth invasion the 83rd and 101st Airborne Corps. were already en route, Supported by a large detachment of the Newtdom Royal Air Force. As the Airborne jets flew over their various deployment locations thousands of parachutes could be seen by any observer. With any luck, the invasion would be quick and painless, but the Empire would take no chances.

~Port St. George, Tuesday 5:55 A.M.~

The stern invasion commander, Admiral Bernard Goya stood on the deck on the NRS Chamberlain, watching the completion of the mobilization. The men were running a tight shift, airborne units were already en route, and the invasion had to have been timed perfectly for a quick, decisive victory. The Navy would deploy its 1st Invasion Fleet, a massive armada designed and trained for this very purpose. Admiral Goya was quite secure in his belief of a quick victory, and this armada would help complete it.

~Tuesday 6:45 A.M.~
The 1st Invasion Fleet took to sea, the Islands would be less than a day's sail due to their proximity, and the quick Juka and Juken Battlecruisers would be able to support the Airborne troops by 1 P.M. today.

OOC: Sorry for the crappy post...I'll think of a better one soon

IC: The Newtdom forces hadn't done well in disguising their movement, and the Dominion surveillance units were quick to pull up the massive deployment. Military recon units stayed far out, keeping an eye on progression.

OOC: Lol, we weren't planning on disguising...we were just gonna do it...

The initial deployment had went well. The 83rd and 101st landed uncontested. Their primary missions went almost unhitched. Beachheads were essentially secure, as were key bridges and territory. All seemed to be going well for the invasion force.

Meanwhile, the 1st Invasion Fleet was half way to the furthest island. The plan was simple, deploy and protect the force from any attacker. The armada was begining to split apart into various task forces in order to maintain adequate protection for the invasion force.

~ NRS Chamberlain, Wednesday 3:45 A.M.~

Field Marshall Lord Wolfe watched the many screens that showed his invasion force began to depart for the various shores. He thought to himself It will soon be over, the Emperor shall be pleased . Thousands of amphibious landing craft headed towards the many islands in the soon to be conquered border islands.

OOC: Basically, if noone is going to contest it...then I think this will end it...

ICCD wonders if you would like to have some joint security for the water between ICCDs offshore island and your island chain and mainland proper. ICCD does maintain a trade and security fleet based out of the island, perhaps we can get a trade route going between the offshore colony and newtdom?
