The Final Act

Cuts Marked in the March of Man:

In the waning days of conflict, the holdouts rage at the dying of the night while hope of a peaceful day washes across the lands.

The Breakdown:

They say war is written by the victorious, but what of the disenfranchised?

For a year, Quermia has suffered as history was rewritten and attacked by the children of those who were left behind in the wake of Operation Vanguard, the disenfranchised youths whose futures were driven by the nobles who drove Undelm under the Tibana-rich clouds of Kiast when the Vatali demonized anyone and everyone in the vicinity, service, or related to those who once schemed against the crown, regardless of their views at the time. Wounds long left to fester have finally begun to heal in the wake of new injuries and the loss of many lives beyond the initial conflict.

But who tells the history of today? The Quermians whose world was nearly razed as a byproduct of someone else's war and walked away, the Vatali Empress, who unjustly silenced her critics with the threat of violence while justly waging war against those who would seek to depose her and overthrow the Quermians, or the Jedi, the keepers of peace who were once again drawn into conflict?

As the conflict begins to draw to a close, the final battlefields are chosen, and the combatants wage war for their ideals and their pride, as well as the heart of Quermia.

The Competition:

As the O.U.S.C. Forces push back against the Vauzem separatists and drive them from the densely inhabited regions of Quermia, the threat moves to the Eastern Front where the Droids Manufactories continue to drive more B1-and-2 droids than the Odanite Forces can counteract. Various forces, both civilian and armed forces, look out over the conflicts anticipating the worst.
