In the blind eye of the Core, at the fringes of the galaxy, the unrest in the Outer Rim has reached its boiling point.

Distress calls announce the terror of war.

Four star systems have come under attack by invaders demanding total surrender. Four different systems, four different aggressors. Open warfare burns across each planet, but the invaders use all available tools to achieve domination: subterfuge, coercion, and bribery. The destruction is only a taste of what will happen should each planet refuse.

Distress calls go out to every corner of the galaxy, pleas for aid to anyone listening. The fate of these worlds hangs by a thread – will the galaxy’s factions intervene to protect these worlds, or leverage the chaos to take control?

Systems

The four invaded systems are as follows.

Build Categories

Category A

Each planet is blockaded by the enemy force, but shuttles and landers can run the blockades and drop ground teams on the surface. Depict your Faction’s ground forces doing battle against the invaders. Size Requirement: 32×32x32 Minimum

Category B

Air and Space superiority is key to victory. The blockades keep necessary supplies from reaching the planet’s citizens. Depict your Faction’s fleets engaging the enemy. Depict at least two starships; one from your faction and one from the Invader. Anything else, including scale, is up to the builder.

Category C

In times of war, nothing is more important than strong leadership. Depict the command bridge of one of your Factions’ capital ships.
