Operation: Ceaseless Night
A large attack started by the Purity of the Stars (PotS) against the Hyperion Federation.
Operation: Ceaseless Night happened on a relatively important HF planet, namely on Tehines. Although Tehines was a well defended shellworld, the PotS managed to make surprisingly strong progress in conquering the planet. The PotS initially started off with a small numbers advantage against the HF defenders in space. Although the defenders advantage is strong, they worked around this through use of unethical technologies the HF wouldn't normally deploy. This includes Negative Entropy warheads, antimatter warheads and Hyper-Taidakic Anti-ship RKMs.
After using RKMs to weaken heavier ships, the PotS deployed a powerful force very rapidly to take advantage of the newly caused hole in the HF forces. After conquering the space battle, they were now free to deploy forces to the planet itself. The HF quickly called reinforcements and found out that the the PotS were not holding back - a new form of super soldier appeared, seemingly being Ukztlakat - Yunkad - Rih'kiel crossbreeds but genetically modified to have much stronger tentacle muscles, unlimited lifespan and very thick skin protecting them from enemy gunfire. They deployed this species of super soldier in the millions.
The HF forces were obviously horrified by the new force, but had to develop a counter. This would partly come in the form of long range flamethrowers. This saw decent success, but the super soldiers have proven relentless in the pursuit of their objective. Now having captured about half the planet, PotS officers started to become overconfident. This coupled with the fact that HF officers are very well trained with often hundreds of years of experience, meant that the HF was able to deploy forces behind their lines a few times. These ambushers found it very difficult to avoid the super soldiers but managed to sabotage enough PotS supplies to make a difference on the war.
