A combat patrol of the “1st Combined Arms Flotilla” stationed in Tau-44 sortie into Tau-23 to establish a border of the Harris blockade in the southern hemisphere of the system. Warned that an entire cruiser strike team had gone missing weeks before leading up to the mission. The officers of differing nationalities clashed as they had little familiarity training with each other before the mission. The Bretonians try to take charge and command the stubborn individualist Crayterians. Eventually agreeing to work as 2 separate forces cooperating in a mission. Both determined to prove they were the better soldiers. With command split, and beasts lurking in the wild Taus. It will take more than the allied forces' words to prove their claims of superiority.
Following learning of Crayterian movements, the Dons of Malta had issued an “open season” on Tau-23. Looking to silence any opposition to the Cradimine Cartels, the beating heart of Maltese society. Outcasts looking for easy riches swarm to Cali Base. Expecting only easy prey most work independently, while others still group up looking for bigger prey. Unbeknownst of the return of an age-old predator. Who once threatened half of Sirius. The Dons will not accept weeping words of failure, only heads to roll.
The Royalist movement finds itself at the end of a rope. Most of them consisted of aged veterans who were too entertained by the gallic wars to enter civilian society again. Unable to find support, and the rapidly depleting supplies of Battleship Resurgent. The Royalists are faced with starvation, or worse. A war band of the hopeless, fearless, and courageous launch a raid against the resource abound system of Tau-23 in an attempt at commerce raiding. Hoping to catch the eye of a potential ally for salvation. Even with failure, what is left of a command will deem it an acceptable outcome. Buying all that remain some more time.
