June 3028 (Liao, end of turn 3)Hell hath no fury like a Capellan backed into a corner...
In an astounding display of military cunning and strategic flexibility, the CCAF has struck a crippling blow to the Free Worlds League and the FWLM. A total of eleven systems fell to the Chancellors army in a surge of Capellan aggression not seen since the Andurien Wars. The losses to the League include Claybrooke, Mosiro, Kiyev, New Delos, Tsinghai, Oriente and Andurien. These last two regional capitals of the League have caused a wave of unrest to spread through the League's population who wonder if the Confederation Armed Forces can be stopped.
Not satisfied with striking a major blow to the League the Chancellor also consolidated his Periphery presence with the capture or recapture of Carthage, Hellespont, Niops and Canopus IV. THe bitter fighting against League forces on Canopus saw the, already damaged, manufacturing facilities there laid waste entirely.
The Free Worlds League has been left reeling from these brutal assaults and, some analysts predict, will need a small miracle to recover.
