Upper nova territory claimed

The Northern Nova campaign was the series of military actions orchestrated by the Nebulon order against the starlon alliance. The campaign was launched seven months following the **Re-militarization act**which saw a rapid growth of the once weakened korgonoid military. Through a combined effort of shear strength and strategy, the Starlon alliance was sub-dude into surrender, eventually; concluding the campaign and giving nebulon a strong toehold over the galaxy.

## Background

### North Nova expeditionary:

The Nova corps [No'rvha Korph gruup] Was the expeditionary force built up for the campaign, of Ground infantry, armour, mobilized infantry and aerial infantry with the support of artillery. The nova corps was the first major expeditionary force deployed. The military force was less equipped with weaponry, munition and naval forces but still overcame starlon with Nebulon's general strategy, and infantry number and other technology, especially with the utilization of Aerial and space combat craft and strategic bombing.

* **Munition:**The force was less equipped in munition on the field which caused multiple drawbacks in battles but with Nebulons fire discipline These drawbacks were in most cases minor. Munition was low due to the previous loss of Nebulons former Munition centre. Capsules were usually in mildly low supply with each riflemen having only 20 capsules per ammo cartridge instead of the required 50 capsules. Grenades were also in low stock most infantry went without any grenades; Grenades were in such low supply as Nebulons original grenades where near useless and usually didnt detonate or the fuse would run faster then normal and etc. Munition would only stay limited until Nebulon liberated the upper Nova rim which held many supply's: such as ammunition and explosives which would be Reverse engineered into later model grenades.
* **Armour:**The force was full of armour such as tanks, mobile artillery and Rams. Tanks within the force consisted of the large: **LFT-MKl** [Gr'œhnt Forhte'sten Meirk iem] or the land fortress mark one was a beast that insued fear within the enemy on the field. The land fortress tank was large and was only deployed against starlon cause thier lack of bombers to retaliate the large vehicle. The tank which was 40 metres in length has a powerful dual '15" heavy field cannon as the main weapon which slowed the tank down to a max speed of 45 Units per hour. The heavy cannon is the same cannon that is mounted on many light frigates. The tank also carry's 5 rapid cannons, 2 frontal anti personnel laser casters and 1 '5" heavy plasma cannon. The other armour used was the  **QS-TMkl**[Qu'shahn Acsh'efause meirke iem] or the Quasar stormer Tank mark one is the standard and much smaller but swifter and generally more conventional tank. The tank was simpler armed with a "125' medium cannon and 2 Rapid cannons. The tank was also the swiftest.
* **Aerial support:**The aerial superiority would ultimately win the campaign for Nebulon. Starlon unlike the zorgian federation, had much less aerial craft. Nebulon bombers had a heavy influence on the field and starlon had less of an aerial force but had other mechanisms to combat against Nebulon bombers. Nebulon had three main bombers and two main fighters. The types of bomber are the **Q-HT Fortress Bomber**and the **Q-NT Sweep bomber**and **Q-AP Utility bomber**. The QHT fortress bomber is the heavy version of the Fortress bomber, the bomber was used for mainly general strategic. The Q-NT sweep bomber was a sweep bomber tasked for Sweep/Carpet bombing. The QAP Utility bomber was like its name, a utility bomber which meant that it was a bomber for any bombing task and could be loaded with most ATG bombs. Bombers and fighters alike were vital to the field and its operations and taught starlon to develop their own bombers.

### Nova armada:

The Nova armada was one of the most largest naval forces assembled with an naval aviation of 400 Bombers, 2500 fighters and a total of 448 vessels. At the end only 50 bombers and 800 fighters ended up surviving, the amount of vessels that survived was only 87 vessels with all others being either destroyed or putout of action. The armada had over 20% of that current naval ships from the Nebulon navy was enlisted into this naval Expeditionary force.

* **Early Naval engagement:**The Navy engaged against Starlon outer territory and planets. Barrage was fired at Abandoned or Militia occupied worlds for target practice. Many worlds were shown the wrath of nebulon weaponry which worried Starlon and the criminals who occupied the planets. The Navy engaged the crime syndicate: The Metal Enforcers. The metal Enforcers were one of the many syndicates that were assaulted by Nebulon naval bombardment. Unlike other groups the metal enforcers retaliated by firing back and this became known as the **Metal war**, A 28 rotation length engagement between Metal enforcement vessels and Nebulon bombardment. The metal war took place in a single star-system with nebulon fleets chasing the smaller and harder to hit Metal enforcer Vessels.
* **Recon:**After the, Vessels advanced until they reached the outskirts of starlon detection devices and scanner range. These vessels searched for perfect entry into the board. Recon ships located different key systems and assets that could be targeted, Nebulons presence was obvious to starlon, but starlon commanders still kept a low profile while slowly building up defence on the GATE. A small Starlon Nebulon engagement did commence in a single system, This battle known as **Sylict incident**, where a Nebulon ship collided with a neutral space station which alarmed a nearby starlon fleet causing them to open fire. Nebulon claimed that aggression was started by the local fleet, therefore sanctions were risen/

### Location:

The campaign was located in the Nova Rim, the Nova rim is a large field of star systems that extends across the East board of the Nova Arm. The Rim is a very important asset of territory that holds the starlon Nova defence station and Nova capital city. The location also located lots of matérial such as munition, and outposts or fortresses.

   The rim over looked the Nexus arm on the east and bordered the nova arm at the west of the Rim. The Nova rim also borders east on the Rim cloud which was held by Militias and was used for a forwards hideout for starlon.

The Nova rim has three primary Regions:

* Norvan field: The norvan field is a western field that extends up the western rim, The norvan field is a large field with thousands of points that protrudes off of the field. The norvan field extends at the bottom of the Rim and features two defence lines: The 40' line and the Iron line. The 40' [ qu'artiun ly'hht dehre lein (40 Light years Line) ] Line was a 40 light year defensive line. The line had 40 lightyears with 10 forts per light year. The Iron line is a 3 light year wall that overlooks the Iron warp route.
* Rylon area: The rylon area connects the lower and upper rim and also has the most warp routes. Rylon starts at the 20th parallel and ends at the 50th parallel. The area has many fortresses that safe guard the abundant warp routes. The Rylon area has no defensive lines.
* Capitalius bulge: The capitalius bulge is a large field at the top of the Rim. The Bulge starts at the 50th parallel and ends at the 70th parallel, The region is the most important, containing the defence capital and the GATE. The gate extends across the capitalius bulge completely.

### Ty'sche plan:

The Ty'sche plan was the Grand plan that the campaign was to complete. The plan generally followed the idea that an attack on sensitive military assets would cause a retreat in till they finally retreat too far weakening the feared GATE, after the gate the defence station would be destroyed which would in turn collapse (the weakened from the previous war) Starlon infrastructure. The plan was created by the Ty'sche Flag board. The plan was broken up into five phases.

* **1st phase *Landings*:**The first phase of the plan was the multiple landings. The first phase of the Ty'sche plan was for the landings of the four army's (Army group frontal, rear and wing) of the expeditionary force at Point 40. These four army's would siege the 40' lines outposts forcing retreats and giving Nebulon territory. The 40' lines sudden siege would take Starlon by surprise causing a major retreat so that they could Re-form.
* **2nd phase *Rear flank*:**The Retreats of Starlon previously were calculated at a retreat all the way to the 35th parallel which is over optimistic. With a retreat and Three army's chasing Starlon The 4th Nebulon army would rear flank the retreating army at the 32nd point which was near the 38th parallel. With a rear flank the 1st Starlon force would presumably surrender leaving only the second and third forces to defend themselves until reinforcements arrive, but surrender wouldn't happen.
* **3rd phase *Offensives*:**Offensives were planned for the Fortius warp passage, with the capture of this warp passage reinforcements would be delayed longer and warp passages could be opened to the Gate, but the passages capture would be failed. The offensive would take over the rylon route pushing Starlon back to the GATE.
* **4th phase *Gate annihilation*:**The 4th phase would have Nebulon lining against the Gate for a major naval and ground attack, the attack would have 5 different fleets striking points, 4 fleets would attack the 3rd, 7th, 20th and 40th posts of the GATE and the 5th fleet attacking the frontal main gate. The plan is for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd fleets penetrating the GATE and advancing forwards, the 4th fleet and 5th fleet would stay to capture the gate and then reinforce the final phase, but in reality Reinforcements arrived which kept the 4th and 5th fleets occupied and unable to reinforce the assault.
* **5th phase *Final assaults*:**The final assaults would be the 5th phase which would have the three fleets targeting three main targets, the first fleet Invading the Nova defence station, The second fleet invading the Nuon city and the 3rd fleet invading the Iriban docking station.

## Landing operations

Following the breakout battles in uron against the Zorgian federation Ty'sche was appointed as Supreme commander of Admiralty and Army with the assistance of der'lust as supreme Armour commander. Landing operations were required to clear out a hole in the 40' defense line so that the navy can enter and cause a retreat. Army grouo wing made up of four forces which landed at the Rim on the lower board of the rim at four different key points.

### Cape tysse:

Cape tysse was lead by ac'toss and his force made up of; The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Infantry corps with the 3rd and 4th fleets of the 1st army group. Assisting forces included the 5th and 6th artillery battalions and the 9th, 12th, 13th, 15th and 20th armour corps of the 1st army group. This oriental force was known as

The 3rd fleet would be the first fleet to deliver the infantry force. The first infantry force to land would be the 1st Infantry corp establishing a landing point while exchanging fire with the nearby fortress, the establishment of the lowly garrisoned area to pierce in the 2nd corp as a following force. The 2nd force would then attack the planet: sykoss. Sykoss was a major battle which spanned one month of grueling warfare in the Sykoss system. The Sykoss is an Swampland planet with multiple bunkers and Weaponry nests scattered around the planet. The Planet would be the first battle to include a specialized infantry group, The 2nd mud division. battle had Nebulon landing In the sea of mud and advancing through the mud towards the **Mu'dden riekel**[muddy ridge]. Which had the Mud bunker. The bunker was seiged and taken which would cause the remaining garrison to surrender. The planet was seized and evacuated except for one small garrison of 400 troops.

After the capture of the Sykoss a Starlon retreat would happen. Following the battle the 1st corp covered the 2nd corp with fire at the next system of Lytuctus at the planet of Lytuct. Lytuct was the next battle of the 2nd corp. The 2nd corp landed and seiged the planet and its refinery in 12 rotations. Lytuct is a magma based planet. The planet is covered with fields of rock and seas and lakes of magma covered with a thick orange sky. The planet had a magma refinery that was heavily defended. The refinery was lined with a large wall with large towers scattered across the wall. The refinery was located inside a large crater filled with magma creeks and streams. Nebulon troops landed at the outskirts of the crater, the crater plains were where the Nebulon infantry landed and charged against the refinery wall breaking out into minor trench warfare. After the wall was seiged, the infantry pushed the defenders back metre by metre across each ridge and through each building intill they retreated, The push past the wall and guard towers took the longest of time. While this woarld was taken a warp route was opened.

After The Starlon cape tysse retreat Nebulon took thier time to take over abandoned worlds to collect resources which took over 4 months to conclude. Little did Nebulon know starlon used this four months to prepare a defensive line across cape tysse known as the Tysse line. The Tysse line was an thougrally thought out defensive wall. The Tysse line extended around the edge of the Cape.

The Tysse line assault would now start. The first assault on the line would first start in the South of the point. The assault on the Ryene field. The ryene field has 5 systems within it, the assault here went on for 2 months and was the longest assault in cape ty'sse. The most climactic battle in the Ryene was the Battle for Ri'ekke post

   .[Alternatively named: The battle of rains lake.] The planetary battle took place on planet Ri'ekke at the outpost of the same name. The outpost of Riekke was situated on a large black and muddy plain. The outpost was in the centre of this muddy plain just under a large plateu. The large plateu and plain overlooked a muddy lake. The battle lasted for one day. Though short, the battle would still weaken the Ty'sse wall, destroy valuble Starlon resources, and deplete the areas artillery. The battle started with Nebulon landings at 5am local, then an march across the plains at 7am local, than finaly fighting at 9am when the Nebulon troops and armour reached the viewing range of the Outpost. But a meteorological event would happen restricting the battles armour and lengthening the battle generally; it started to rain which turned the vast fields between Nebulon and Starlon muddy, the rain would also create fog limiting armour, aerial support, and artillery from both sides, this made the battle a troops only battle. Eventually the rain would cease at 1pm local time which was about time when Nebulon could have aerial support, finally giving them a boost. By 4pm nebulon support arrived which gave nebulon another boost and by 5pm Nebulon went from 700 metres away to 120 metres away from the outpost. And when 8pm Starlons outpost was taken and starlon was pushed up the plateu. Finally 4 Starlon divisions surrendered at 10pm and the battle concluded.

Another assault would then happen up more in the north. In the north an assault would start again at the Fyr'os Gap. The fyr'os gap is a large void, with a single starsystem in the center, this central starsystem was known as Fyr'os tunn. A primary battle would commence in this system as Nebulon forces clashed with a Heavy Starlon patrol force.

Nebulon had plans to attack the Starlon defensive world: serdosse. Serdosses' defensive outpost. The outpost was situated in the centre of a dense forest at the edge of a hill known as: "Hill surdosse". The battle started with the landing of the Nebulon troops who advanced through the dense forest with minor fire fights. The Nebulon troops advanced up the Surdose hill and established a high ground up on the hill and fire was exchanged between the outpost and hill. Starlon forces then with a surprise attack, destroyed the attacking force with artillery causing a Nebulon retreat. This retreat delayed the outposts attack, Nebulons retreat gave starlon a chance to push Nebulon off the planet. Nebulon was on the run untill Nebulon dug in at de'iot depression. Nebulon was able to hold off at the depression long enough for reinforcements to arrive.

After this battle, the remainder of the patrol force ethier surrendered or was eliminated while in retreation; starlon retreated out of the system back to the line. The line was weakened and gave Nebulon an excellent forward operation base. The two other assaults have softened and weakened the Defensive line, a final penatrating assault would take place. This final assault would happen at the planet: De'sund. De'sund is a ocean planet with large shipping docks and bases littered around the planet. Three main targets were **Base 4'*,****Base 8 **and** Base '***docking bay**.

The Base docking bay was the establishing assault on the planet that took place at Desund atoll, which featured multiple mountains and dense forest. The atoll was infamous for its multiple mines scattered within the many forests. Nebulon had many skirmishes and firefights between the forests and brush. Nebulon made pushes up the atoll intill the climactic battle; The seige of the atoll. The seige had Nebulon soldiers assaulting the docking bay which had a large landing dock and bay. The atolls battle started with a beach head assault. The assault had Nebulon craft landing out deep within the ocean. Nebulon troops waded through the water and charged up the beach. The beach that was assaulted was known as Red beach. Red beach had many defenses such as gun emplacements and bunkers. The assault had waves of men thrown at the beach to wear out the enemy's munition, with a third wave capturing the worn out the defending bunkers. The fighting lasted longer than expected as the bunkers had massive munition reserves, after around 4 hours the battle stopped and Nebulon made a push eventually taking the outpost that guarded the landing bay. Finally an 3 hour assault through the woods pushed starlon to the point of surrender giving Nebulon the docking bay and the atoll. Following the attacks on the atoll Nebulon took the fo'lus cay and fo'llun island. The planet saw wide evacuation...after the Ty'sse offensive, Nebulon could make a clear advance towards the east to reinforce the le'konn points army.

### Le'konn point:

Le'konn point is a point that extends east of cape tysse. Le'konn is much smaller and denser, and in-turn more defended. Le'konn is very critically important to the campaign as it connects the Tysse oriental force, with the Lyss'ut oriental force. The Le'konn point bridged the two primary armed forces, which was required for the liberation of the **Norvan field**. The offensive would also use tanks, and other vehicles, regularly. The point is only twelve lightunits in length and nine lightunits in width.
The invading force that was sent to Le'konn Was around 3 corps and 2 fleets known as the wing corps. The Le'konn point was made up of seven primary strongholds. These strongholds each had around twenty divisions each. The entire defending force is around 5 corps.
Le'konn point's first assault would be the battle of  '*Hr'gect'*system. The main planet in this system, would be the Hrgect alpha.  Hrgect alpha, is a massive desert planet. The assault on **Desert Y54**. The battle had an abundance of vehicles and troops who ran across units of dunes and sand plains. Troops were exchanging fire behind dunes, only metres away from each other. Troops combat went on for hours eventually coming to a conclusion following the infantry assault on Desert outpost 443, which remained atop a plateau.
Final offensives would happen.
The offensive on the vk'omn blockade. The vk'omn blockade was one of the largest naval engagements, (not including the Gate offensive), The blockade offensive had a mix of 19 battleships, and destroyers. The 19 Nebulon vessels fought against 23 starlon dreadnoughts, and other vessels. The leader of the battle; supreme admiral ac'ton, representing nebulon, and ordinance naval admiral cyan.  The blockade protected jyro station, which was a non orbit, space station. The space station was being blockaded after it was attacked by system local mercenary. Nebulon scouts discovered the station. The station contained many ship yards. The main objective of the Nebulon fleet, was to capture starlons project jox, which was a starlon super dreadnought project. The blockade surrounded the station, with the flagship at front. The fleet remained employed in a line position, with two wing flanks. The nebulon fleet used an intimidation/ramming tactic by sending in a dreadnought head on, blanketed by destroyers to cover, and return fire. This ramming technique was unexpected and caused the left flank the fall in covering the flagship flotilla. Fighters flew through the left flanks previous location to take the starlon fleet from the rear. Starlon than made another flank maneuver where left flank flotilla, went to attack nebulon left wing group, while starlon right wing's frigates provided anti aviation defense for the flagship flotilla. The flagship flotilla then fell back to its final position near the station, with right wing covering the retreat, and left wing securing the space stations rear. Flagship group then had a sudden victory pushing Nebulon to a retreat. The naval battle then devolved into a small ground engagement, in till nebulon established air superiority. The final battle of the station, happened just off the moon, with Nebulon forcing an eventual surrender. The station was taken, yet the starlon super destroyer escaped, making the battle pointless. After this deviation from the main achievement,

The Nebulon Lekkon army went east to capture the system known as dgy'cvok system, which connected the lower area of lekkon, via sub passages The system would be the most key in the offensive, as two warp routes that connected tysse, Lekkon and lyssut together, ran straight through the system. A ground battle on the 4th planet, known as planet Hygar. Hygar is a bluish grassed planet, covered in an abundance of snow, plantations and brush. The most major engagement on Hygar would be up hyatt mountain line, in incendiary gully, (Named after the numerous fires). Incendiary gully, artillery spur, and tank plains. Incendiary gully was a large gully that climbed up the ridge. The gully was 3 units in length, and 1 units in width. The gully was like an ocean of fires, caused by the multiple tank fuel, explosions. Artillery spur; was a large hill which held many artillery cannons, who were em-placed to stop the motorized enemy effort. Tank plains was the plains that the Nebulon tanks crossed before reaching the gully. The battle started with the East starlon snow division, who began digging in to the planet after enemy transmissions were decoded by the signalers. After 2 local rotations of preparations Nebulon vehicles landed and began a pushing advance up the 'tank plains' followed with Nebulon infantry,

    eventually clashing with the snow corp. The two groups clashed head on at incendiary gully. 80 percent of tanks were destroyed in the gully spreading major fires, which caused both party's to retreat. In till the Nebulon infantry made a push up the hill, once again, but got flanked shortly after, In the qup plains. The battle ended 4 days later after the capture of trosst, which was a nearby settlement, where starlon dug in.

The final battle in the offensive would commence for planet Saorn. Saorn, which was a vast, humid, tropical planet, very similar to De'sund, which happened earlier, in the tysse offensive. Saorn was quite different,

Saorn had a dark black sand, with black water. The planet also rained very occasionally. Saorns battle would be for; Mud ocean. Mud ocean is a large pool of mud, which sat in between a Canyon. Mud ocean had mud three metres deep, which caused many to drown. Fighting was very difficult in the environment, and infantry had to use vehicles or wade through the mud, The battle also included The 2nd mud division of the Mud troop , which was a specializing infantry Division. The mud division and Nebulon standard infantry would battle against starlons highly trained Mud legion. The Nebulon 2nd Infantry, and 4th Infantry division each landed respectively; at shell hole hill and Devils peak. The Mud corp landed near snipers hill, which had to be taken from a small sentry party at snipers hill, where mud infantry climbed up the hill, against a pafty of snipers. Snipers hill was near grave gully. Nebulons plan was for Nebulon infantry and armour to sweep in through the south of the Grave hill. Grave hill was swiftly attacked, with nebulon taking grave hill. Starlon predictably retreated to grave gully, where they dug in at Outpost tau 2259. Outpost tau was built into the side of the clift, of the gully, and over looked the gully, Nebulon lead artillery strikes to weaken the defenses before sending in Infantry which followed armour. The armour punched holes into the stronghold, which let Nebulon troops flood in. Starlons first force surrendered within the depths of the bunker. Nebulon troops slaughtered the Remaining starlon troops, at oca'ct village, where they retreated. Finally Starlon constructed the "ocan defense line" A defensive wall made up of dried mud and clay. The wall was lined with artillery and gun emplacments. A mix of Nebulon and Mud corp Infantry combated the wall, and its defenses for hours intill tanks arrived and could assist them. Starlon put up resistance and was able to hold off the 1st and 2nd waves, but by the 3rd wave, Starlon was overan. After mud ocean was taken other minor battles happeed mord down the canyon. But the planet was liberated. After the liberation his planet Starlon had no choice but to travel the warp route to help defend the lyssuct defense corps. After Nebulon fought they finally liberated the dgy'cvok system which connected the Tysse, Lekkon, and Lysuct forces together. Starlon eventualy surrendered the Lysuct point to Nebulon, so that Starlon could retreat and reform for one last stand in the lytuct spur.

### Re-formation:

After the liberation of tysse and the connection of Lysuct and Lekkon, Nebulon were able to strengthen their other, more vital armies, and so they did. 4 divisions from tysse were sent to lytuct, and 4 more divisions from the Lekkon point would reinforce the current 6 other divisions of the Lytuct army. The remaining 2 divisions respectively were to stay and scout/Vanguard just encase a starlon counter attack happens (which one does, much later on). And finally the final push on the lower point, which would cause the presumed; great retreat.

### Ly'ssuct spur landings:

As the other forces landed at thier respective targets, Lyssuct showed struggle for the Nebulon invaders.
The lysuct spur, expands off the Norvan field. By this point in time, of which 5 months have passed, the local Nebulon attacking force, only managed to liberate only a dozen of systems. Ly'ssuct was much different to the other areas. Ly'ssuct only had a single warp route, which was deep within the Starlon lines, and was completely van-guarded. Nebulons plan was for the 8 divisions from the other areas, to follow up the warp route, meet in Lyssuct, and make a push down to the edge, where the original 6 left over divisions were fighting.

The 8 foreign division's, which was named the exodus force. The first task was to secure a perimeter around the route exit. The exodus force first assaulted the nearby planet, which overwtached the route exit. The planet yodor. Yodor was temperate, and sandy in most places. The 1st reof the
