DESCRIPTION:-> Phase #4 <-\n# Point of No Return:\n### Hostilities resume b
 etween the renegade Vauzem forces and the Vatali-Odanite Cohort for the fa
 te of Quermia.\n\n-> ![Divider]([asset:pcon_separator221]) <-\n\n#### The 
 Breakdown:\nFires raged throughout the firmament as attack ships burned of
 f of the shoulder of Quermia\, their fractured C-beams glittering in the d
 ark near the Perlemian Gate. When the O.U.S.C. requested an inspection of 
 the Medical Ship flying Vauzem colors during the Life Day Armistice\, unde
 r concerns that the vessel had been acting as a staging point and armament
  transport for the belligerent forces\, the Vauzem Separatists opened fire
  on the Vatali-Odanite Cohort beginning a series of operations to either r
 eclaim or destroy the vessel that had been a source of speculation for wee
 ks.\n\n*This was how the Life Day Armistice ended\, an act of aggression i
 n the wake of perfidy.*\n\nAlong the planet's surface\, the soldiers on ei
 ther side of the conflict had yet to receive word of reignited conflict an
 d many were left in awe of the prismatic detonations of the vessels in the
  night sky\, while other\, veteran\, soldiers prepared for the worst knowi
 ng all too well that once blows started trading at that tonnage\, it wasn'
 t long before flesh and sinew started clashing in the grinder known as war
 fare once more.\n\nThe Life Day Armistice gave many a sense of hope and be
 lief that the Quermian Conflict had de-escalated and peace was within reac
 h\, however\, continued conflict had become unavoidable. As word from Kias
 t had arrived that the Vauzem were no longer a standing entity among the R
 oyal Conclaves\, with the death of two Dukes of the Undelm Domain and the 
 last capitulating their homes to the Crown\, there was no hope for a quiet
  surrender or clemency from the Crown\, and Quermia seemed to become their
  last stand. On the other side of the war\, sustained conflict has taken a
  toll on the Vatali-Odanite Cohort\, even with the brief armistice\, too f
 ew replenishments have reached their front\, in both troops or material ai
 d. While morale is still high\, it comes from the support of the locals an
 d a shared mission to keep the people free and the occasional graffitied "
 REMEMBER NEW TYTHON" sprayed on a bombed-out shelter or similarly damaged 
 structures.\n\n-> ![Divider]([asset:pcon_separator221]) <-\n\n#### The Com
 petition:\n**War is on the Horizon.** While the orders haven't been given 
 on the ground\, the skies are on fire\, and reports of Vauzem and Odanite 
 vessels breaking into open conflict are rampant across the front. Officers
  are scrambling for orders and making plans to ready troops that have been
  on standby for the last two months\, and understand exactly what is going
  on in orbit. What is your place in all of the chaos?\n\n* Entries must de
 tail your place\, or the place of another affiliated NPC\, as the reports 
 of warfare in the skies above breaks loose and how they react to the sudde
 n shift of environment as things go from a seemingly reluctant peace to th
 e potential of\, or direct (if you so choose) conflict.\n* Entries must me
 et a minimum of 500 words for participation.\n* Entries will be graded acc
 ording to the [Fiction Grading Rubric 3.0](https://docs.google.com/spreads
