Hinay / Urnian / Foreven
Imperials Again Attack Protectorate Capital, Again
Defeated
In a treacherous violation of the terms after the last invasion of the
Capital of the Hinay Protectorate, on 229-1122 the same Imperial battle
group returned to launched another unprovoked attack. This time
the Imperials came in with a new ferocity, indiscriminantly using
nuclear weapons against the defenders. Fortunately the
Protectorate Navy was already on heightened alert, and responded
quickly and effectively.
This time the fighting was concentrated around the gas giant which the
mainworld itself orbits, threatening to spread from a purely military
action to involve civilian targets. The Protectorate forces,
however, defended fiercely and were able to keep the action close to
the gas giant itself.
Casualties were heavy on both sides, as the Protectorate Navy fought
the more advanced Imperials to a standstill. Finally the
defenders broke through the escort screen and pressed an attack against
the flagship dreadnought Llannamith itself. With the
Imperial flagship heavily damaged and their ships running out of fuel,
the Protectorate offered an armistice to head off the possibility of
the invaders attacking the mainworld in desperation. The offer
was accepted.
The Hinay Protectorate and the Imperium are still in a state of
war. Hostilities have ceased with the armistice, but Protectorate
officials have stated that the Imperials have proved untrustworthy
already and any action other than total compliance will result in
further action against the so-called superpower. Imperial
influence and incursions are no longer acceptable in Yonder.
Today the Imperial battle group left, generously refuelled and in a
state of partial repair, sufficient to return to their native
empire. They will be escorted through Sterrit, and from
there jump out of Yonder.
