Introduction
It had not been the first time.
Every person on Auraxis rembembered the First Alliance.
The First Alliance was signed by the Terran Republic and Vanu Sovereingty. The NC were kicked back on five continents. The three that they connected to were just barely holding on, maybe controlling the closest facility to the NC Warp Gate.
The Vanu Sovereignty had been developing naval craft since the war began. It had been close to a year. As of August 12, they had two types, kept in secret: A destroyer and landing craft boats.
The destroyers had multiple Magrider guns and 75mm guns. The landing crafts had two Flux Cannons. There were only five destroyers but enough landing craft for half of the entire Vanu army.
Negotiations then began, in secret, for a Terran-Vanu alliance against the New Conglomerate. Landing craft production was stepped up, so that by August 12, enough landing crafts existed for one entire faction. They were split in two, and on August 12, at 6:00 NC Sanctuary time, the two factions allied.
Not an hour later, the invasion of the New Conglomerate Sanctuary took place.
Invasion by normal means was impossible, of course. The warpgates to the NC Sanctuary respond only to NC soldiers. HART pods cannot drop there. The only way was by coastal invasion.
And so it was done.
Half of the Terran Republic's force and half of the Vanu Sovereignty's force were loaded up onto landing craft, which were then connected to the destroyers, which had significantly increased in number.
The main city in the NC Sanctuary is between the second and third warp gates, so they would be starting a bit far from the objective. However, it was estimated that a swift victory would occur.

The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.
