Phase #5

Declaration:

Hostilities continue between the renegade Vauzem forces and the Vatali-Odanite Cohort for the fate of Quermia.

The Breakdown:

The war wages its fiercest as many believe it is nearing its end. Support for the Vauzem separatists has waned, with no formal support from the Sephi on Kiast and the arrival of further O.U.S.C. Naval support to blockade the Perlemian Trade Route, which effectively cut off Hyperspace travel into and out of the system. The toll of the war has weighed heavily on the people of Quermia, as well, as it disrupted their everyday lives and incited chaos and panic across a once pacifistic people. As the first year's anniversary of the conflict quickly approaches, the Quermian people have chosen a side, backing the support their governors reached for. They now fight alongside the Odanite contingent which aims to return Quermia to normalcy.

The Competition:

Vauzem officers, proud Imperialist Sephi who stood against the so-called 'illegitimate' rule of Empress Kaltani Anasaye and her kin were fielding a mix of like-minded Sephi and mercenaries, trained and sold as soldiers to their cause by an unknown supplier. These forces had been the primary basis of the O.U.S.C. and the Acolyte of Urr's threat level assessment, unaware that they had the keys to activating the Droid Manufactories left behind on Quermia after the CIS occupation decades prior. These manufactories would later serve to create over two-thirds of the Vauzem forces.

Now B1 and B2 Battle-Droids flood the forests and cities of Quermia, facing a unified opposition, who are measuring their successes in <Clusters of Fire> as they deter the ever-advancing droid menace. Join the fight on the ground and gather as many Clusters as possible.
