   *Primary invasion leadership arrives through the portal/​wormhole,​ one General Monham who notes that there are still some needed preperations before the invasion can truly step off from this base. He orders the scout forces to spread out as he pulls more rifle company sized units through the portal along with as many of his engineering units as he could manage to cram into the prepared area. They'​ll spend the next week clearing trees, laying gravel, and building up the storage infrastructure to support the numerous divisions on the otherside of the gate.\\ \\   *Primary invasion leadership arrives through the portal/​wormhole,​ one General Monham who notes that there are still some needed preperations before the invasion can truly step off from this base.

   *Roughly a month into these efforts a forward motorized recon element happens upon one of the many small homesteads and unlike other encounters in which the residents were captured and sent back... the troops choose to indulge. A girl manages to get away on a small motorcycle and flees to the town of Dorvan Farms, the closest settlement of any sort. The unit is unaware of this.\\ \\   *Roughly a month into these efforts a forward motorized recon element happens upon one of the many small homesteads and unlike other encounters in which the residents were captured and sent back... the troops choose to indulge.

   *A response consisting of law enforcement special response units and regular LEOs arrives within the day with light armored vehicles and a VTOL in support. While superior in technology they lack the heavy weapons of the military scout unit and are driven off with some losses but manage to kill nearly half of the recon unit whom pulls back and communicates their situation back to General Monham. The officers are executed upon their return and Monham is forced to up his time table, sending two regiments of motorized infantry and a armored battalion to take the settlement. \\ \\   *A response consisting of law enforcement special response units and regular LEOs arrives within the day with light armored vehicles and a VTOL in support.

   *Within Dorvan Farms a bit of fear has taken hold, some confusion as to whether or not it was merely a small band of brigands that somehow managed to arrive on the surface without being noticed to some form of invasion. The settlement'​s governor has activited all law enforcement entities under his control as well as the OPSAD garrison battalion technically under his management. Though it is only sixty percent operational when the first air attacks begin during the dawn. \\ \\   *Within Dorvan Farms a bit of fear has taken hold, some confusion as to whether or not it was merely a small band of brigands that somehow managed to arrive on the surface without being noticed to some form of invasion.

   *The IFOR use a strange mixture of propulsion less craft of odd make and propeller craft of odd configurations. While both perform well early in the attack, air defense units belonging to the garrison unit soon begin plucking them from the skies. They soon cease their operations and are replaced with direct tube fired towed artillery. This causes the stream of evacuees to become a torrent, pouring out along the east and west highway routes. The remaining LEOs and the OPSAD battalion have arranged themselves in a line of defense, watching as their allotment of UCAVs display the oncoming force.\\ \\   *The IFOR use a strange mixture of propulsion less craft of odd make and propeller craft of odd configurations.

   *With the costly engagement to his east General Monham decides that now is the time to finally exploit what he realizes is his one major advantage over the forces that resist his efforts, numbers. His previous engagements had been employed assuming some parity between his army and the defenders, Dorvan Farms and the technological treasures within ending this illusion. Some of his advisors claim it could simply be a wealthy hamlet like some of those in the Empire to the north with access to old technologies they could no longer make. The siege of the second settlement silenced them as well. \\ \\ One preplanned operation, the concept of it formed after a mixture of reconnaissance flights (before air defense assets began to pluck them from the sky) and from information gathered from the recently captured //Koles//. It was a simple equation, if he moved fast enough and with overwhelming numbers he may have a chance at establishing a foothold on this world in such a manner that its residents and the power beyond the skies couldn'​t respond quick enough. All of it in the hope he could negotiate something of a ceasefire and a ceding of land and population to his nation. As a result a Corps sized element was dispatched to the north, two reinforced divisions to the east and to the west. He held roughly a division and a half in reserve, having them establish themselves in the hills surrounding the 17th Army's basecamp and their only way home.   *With the costly engagement to his east General Monham decides that now is the time to finally exploit what he realizes is his one major advantage over the forces that resist his efforts, numbers.

 +  *The direction to push with most of his forces was figured by a  mixture of both aerial reconnaissance and intelligence gathered by scrying the minds of those captured as they where cycled through his base on their way to Eideon. A major settlement sat at the confluence of both rivers that hemmed his forces in the east and west, hundreds of thousands and the infrastructure to support them as well as major road, air, and rail all converging in one spot. Of course the scrying also gave hint to a much larger armed presence in the city of Varde as well as further forces nearby. \\ \\ 
 +  *Opting for the one strategy he knew would work, he assembled the majority of his forces into a corps sized formation. Placing it under the command of one of his trusted underlings and sending it north as the underling saw fit. As a result most of the mechanized and armored forces opted for a road march, moving east down the now safe roadway and then turning northward with tank formations at the head. His various motorized infantry divisions opted to move overland, directly northward, their trucks and various craft moving in waves over the fields of Cascadium. ​

 +  *The eastern FEBA had remained static and quiet since the ballistic missile strike, the OPSAD battalion of Del's City having driven farther south and dug in around a small town that served as little more than a weigh station for those going further south. It covered the crossroads for two major colonial highways as well as a bridge that leads further to the east. An additional battalion'​s worth of OPSAD troops have also moved north to reinforce them from settlements further in the south. ​ \\ \\ 
 +  *To their north and to the horror of those troops as they came within view of drones was another enemy formation. An entire division sent to the east by General Monham to force a crossing of the (insert name for eastern river) and push toward the mountains and any settlements within reach. ​
