"Do you see brothers? Do you see my sisters? See how those that impose their order on the universe are so willing to slaughter those that would stand against it? See how far they are willing to sink to strengthen their hold on us all? Throw off your shackles, and join us, in liberating us all, from the age of the Empires."
"Enter the new Age"
{wide-burst transmission sourced from Tau Volaris}
Tau Volaris is an industrial and mining world that provides valuable mineral resources, engineering, and serves as a way-station in the Golden Expanse for various nations. this is the "first stop" on a hyperspace/warp tunnel route that allows safe navigation into the deep core of Ancerious. While sparely populated, the natives are a hearty, no-nonsense people, strong and industrious. They would have to be: the atmosphere of the planet is lethal to oxygen-breathers, and all mining and habitation facilities are constructed under massive energy domes, strong enough to keep out both the caustic atmosphere and fight against orbital bombardment from all but the heaviest caliber weapons. In addition, the planet’s atmosphere is a state of perennial overcast, wracked with energy storms and lighting bursts that can scramble and affect incoming projectiles.
Several weeks ago, contact with planetary security forces, who are required to make regular reports to the central commands of the nations who have a stake in the mining resources, was lost. an investigation team that was sent in managed to transmit that they were under attack from what appeared to be an improvised fleet before contact was lost.
shortly thereafter, a transmission to the member nations was made by the formerly non-violence group calling itself "the Dispossessed"
these people, hailing from nations across the galaxy, have declared a state of no-tolerance for the ongoing war. For several months, members of this organization have traveled among the warring nations they are able to access, peacefully protesting the war outside embassies, barracks and arsenals. For the most part, these actions remained peaceful, and no thought was given to the movement.
This sudden change of tactic, from non-violence to action, has caught the galactic powers off-guard, and the Group has effectively cut off access to the planet.
More worrisome is the fact that a number of military groups from various nations, including Sparta, the Union, Tenebrae and others, have suddenly defected from their nations and joined the rebels, bringing a large number and variety of weapons to the rebel’s aid. The mining facilities and cites on the planet have quickly become fortifications, as have the orbital facilities and asteroid belts in the system.
ordinarily, orbital bombardment would solve this problem, but their weapons, the need to retain the facilities on the planet on operating condition, and the on-planet shield Generators and constant storm-conditions make accurate targeting of the facilities impossible. As long as the rebels retain control of the planet, passage to the Deep core along any reliable route is liekwise impossible.
Tenebrae has also passed along information that this faction may have been corrupted by the energies of the Phasic Vortex…
