week 4 of the Civil War (day 1 of the siege of site-01 With the fall of Tarsak Prime, the Monarchists shifted their attention to Site-Alpha—the Commonwealth’s most fortified military research complex, located deep within a fractured asteroid world. Believed to hold pre-Voidgate data, prototypes, and empire-level command archives, Site-Alpha is too valuable to be lost. Ultrafedalist forces, understanding its importance, throw everything into its defense. Fortified with trench lines, anti-orbital cannons, drone hives, and shield towers, Site-Alpha becomes the next flashpoint. The Monarchists, fresh off their Tarsak victory, besiege the site with orbital artillery, mobile fortress tanks, and elite storm commandos. Dogfights and capital ship duels erupt above the asteroid belt. The Siege of Site-Alpha has begun. It is expected to determine the future direction of the war—or possibly even the fate of the Commonwealth's deeper secrets. week 5 of the civil war (week one of the siege ) The space above Site-Alpha turns into a graveyard of burning wreckage. The Monarchist fleet, composed of retrofitted imperial war cruisers and fast-strike corvettes trained by GCC naval advisors, makes an initial push into orbit. But they are unprepared for the layered orbital defenses of the Ultrafedalists—drone swarms, stealth satellites, and auto-targeting torpedo silos. Monarchist ships are picked off. One by one. Until their commanders are forced into retreat positions, unable to secure air dominance. While the Monarchists have quality, elite strike divisions trained in advanced tactics, they now face ten-to-one odds. Ultrafedalist reinforcements—fresh troops, armored convoys, mobile artillery, and air cavalry—have poured into Site-Alpha’s defense line. The Monarchist strategy to overwhelm the fortress now fails. Every advance is met with concentrated counterfire, minefields, orbital bombardments from friendly Ultrafedalist-controlled space platforms, and trenches lined with flame drones and laser turrets. Entire Monarchist battalions are decimated trying to breach the outer ring. The Ultrafedalists begin a counter-siege, trapping Monarchist forces between the Alpha defense wall and Ultrafedalist encirclement lines. Now, it is the Monarchists who are in danger of annihilation. (week 5 of the civil war )Day 35: The Turning Point At 0700 hours, Ultrafedalist General Kars Vultann unleashes Operation Starwall—a massive pincer movement of mecha divisions and heavy tanks to cut off the Monarchist rear positions. Simultaneously, Ultrafedalist jet strikers swarm the skies, downing dozens of Monarchist transports. Smoke chokes the air. Chemical storms kick up across the asteroid’s fractured plains. Artillery rips craters into Monarchist positions. The Monarchists dig in, but they’re outgunned, surrounded, and now hemorrhaging morale. By nightfall, Ultrafedalist banners are flying over the Monarchist forward base known as Outpost St. Helian—the symbolic center of their push on Site-Alpha. (week 6 the end of the civil war) Site-Alpha burned under twin suns and relentless artillery. The once-glorious Monarchist offensive shattered completely. Outnumbered, outgunned, and cut off from supply routes, the elite units trained by the GCC crumbled under the sheer volume of Ultrafedalist firepower. At Hill 919, the last Monarchist mechanized division—the Order of St. Veitran—was annihilated in a desperate attempt to break through the encirclement. Their last tank fired a single round before being consumed by incendiary gel from Ultrafedalist air-strikers. By midday on Day 37, Monarchist Commandant Orlus Vexhart was killed in an orbital strike that obliterated his command bunker. With his death, chain-of-command fell into chaos. The remaining Monarchist officers initiated a disorganized retreat—but there was nowhere left to run. Ultrafedalist forces advanced through Monarchist lines, capturing vast weapon caches and data terminals hidden beneath Site-Alpha. Cities loyal to the Crown fell one by one—Altoras, Vydar-Sigma, and Sovak-III were all pacified by Ultrafedalist mecha-walkers and Death Corps regiments. A few Monarchist fleets attempted to escape into deep space, but were intercepted and destroyed by Ultrafedalist gunships or left to rot in orbit, their fuel supplies sabotaged.
This time the ultrafedalists outnumbered the monarchist's fleet 10-1
