Editing The Campaign Of Astral Woe (section)

==Turning Point==



At first the combined might of the two Legions made excellent headway. Infernox and his Sons for a time helped with the initial push, being close to the area before being called up elsewhere. The Stelvi worlds were rapidly culled, with their eggs piled and burned to ash leaving behind fresh planets to be colonized. The Technocracy of Rosean and Grand Principality of Devkar united against the Imperial forces, along with many nameless single system factions. The Confederacy however, sided with the Expedition Fleets once their hated enemy the Stelvi had been eradicated. This allowed a swell of troops to assist in the coming war.

Rosean was the first of these mighty empires to fall, progressive and highly advanced they had emerged from the Age of Strife with battle wounds, but little else. Unlike other societies, they had sophisticated weaponry systems which even surpassed the Imperium in terms of firepower. Before the first shot was fired, Tollund used this opportunity to speak to the leaders about the message of the Imperial Truth. His hope was to bring them in peacefully, so everyone could benefit. Alexandri saw an imperative to cut the head off the beast fast, before they could marshal too much strength. The moon of Rosean's primary system was sunk into their mainly aquatic homeworld, destroying the mighty civilization in an instant. Seeing the ruthlessness and cunning of the invaders, all their former sub-states forfeited.

As time moved on, eventually the planets belonging to the Gaggosh were assaulted. The Confederacy immediately switched sides, firing upon the Imperial Fleet with their own ships and causing great bloody clashes to take place on the surface of the Gaggoshi worlds. It turned out the Confederacy were long standing allies of the Gaggosh, who they saw as kindred by this point. Alexandri used the ships he'd put in reserve to level the undefended Confederacy planets. Seeing this, the Principality gave up their hostilities with the Imperium and joined the fight at the Gaggosh systems.
