The Siege of Jgenik
The Conflict
Prelude
As the War For Atalan was beginning to get more and more destructive, the Walren just having destroyed several Tortilian planets in retaliation for their betrayal, Saurian fleets uncloaked in the orbit of the Sibrian Union capitol of Jgenik.
Deployment
Battlefleet Hammerfall began to bombard the capitol city from orbit, rapidly depleting the inferior Sibrian force shields protecting the settlement. Meanwhile, elements of the Saurian Swords teleported into the inner areas of the Sibrian palace, rapidly scouring the building and doing battle with any Sibrian Royal Guards they came across.
The Engagement
Sibrian ships were frantically dispatched to face the Saurian war fleets. Alas, the Sibrians’ largest ships were bombers only, not even so much as a destroyer amongst their number, and almost all of them were destroyed in a matter of minutes, inflicting no casualties on the vastly superior Saurian vessels. Meanwhile, down on the the planet in the capitol, the Saurian Swords had located King Nerov and dispatched his personal guards at the expense of one of their own, quickly withdrawing back to their orbiting vessels via teleport.
Outcome
King Nerov was captured and the defending Sibrian fleet was nearly wiped out.
Aftermath
After the Walren stand-down, Saurian forces left and King Nerov was returned (albeit with, unbeknownst to him, a surgically implanted listening device). Then, as the Saurian quarrel was with the Walren and they had no real issue with the Sibrians, the Saurian Empire even generously donated upgraded planetary defense shields (though old technology by Saurian standards) to the Sibrians to help better defend their planet in the future.
