Pyres of Remembrance New London Atmosphere
Siege Event
OVERVIEW
A week of fierce fighting has left both fleets in orbit of New London battered and broken. Gallia, despite sustaining heavy losses, has punched a hole through the Bretonian blockade.
On the home front, the combined Council fleet consisting of the La Fierte, De Grasse, and Pamiers battlegroups, now marches on Gallia's core worlds. With nearly every available resource having been expended on their conquest of Sirius, the situation for the Crown is grim. Though a token defensive force gathers in orbit of New Paris, it seems unlikely that they will be able to hold against the tide of revolution.
For the Royalists, the war seems sure to be lost, and Triumph-class destroyers have entered New London's atmosphere in a last ditch effort to break Bretonia's back. These ships are now poised to bombard cities, military installations, and government facilities, including the Buckingham Palace, residence of Queen Carina and the Bretonian Royal Family.
The MacDuff has taken up position in low orbit of New London, desperately scrambling fighter and bomber wings to engage Gallia's planet killers. The Dax has followed suit, deploying her own fighter compliment to defend the warships as they complete their work, lancing the Bretonian Capital world with their plasma beams.
The final battle for New London has come.

NOTES
The Triumphs will be static, destructible bases. In order to deal damage to them, the allies will need to bring bombers with Scorchers. Only Scorchers will be capable of dealing substantial damage to the Triumph solars. SNACs, Coronas, Novas, and Hellfire Rocket pods will not be effective.
The atmosphere contains varying levels of drag, which will cause ships to become more sluggish as they approach the hard deck. Contact with the hard deck will result in catastrophic decompression consistent with unassisted atmospheric entry. Further instructions will be given on site by staff members during the event.
The Dax & MacDuff will be positioned to serve as bases for easy access to atmospheric entry points.
There are no plans to add additional IDs to either side during this event.
