Operation BLITZKRIEG - Hamilton, ON, September 14

Operation Blitzkrieg   
Callison, Republic Remnant
December 31, 3145

In December 3145 the Wolf Empire launched Operation BLITZKRIEG, an attack into the Republic Remnant space aimed at seizing the 5 worlds controlled by the Remnant and eliminating the thorn in their side once and for all. Beta Galaxy surged across the border in force striking at the Remnant and driving them from those worlds they protected.  Remnant forces began falling back to Callison, setting the stage for a large engagement. The wolves believed a quick strike at the Remnant command assets on Callison would end the battle quickly. However the Remnant had spent months preparing their defenses on Callison for just such a strike.
