Graal-Dronavi War Grand Campaign [/u][/center] Belligerents: Graal Hegemony vs Dronav Holdworlds
Backstory: With the end of the Esharan Protection Treaty (3122-3125), the Dronavi are left with no allies. The decision not to renew the treaty by both Esharan and Dronavi officials is one that garnered mixed emotions; as many Dronavi felt disenfranchised by the idea of "Esharan protection" when they thought no such protection was needed. On the other hand, many Esharans wanted the deal to continue as corruption grew and Dronavi credits filled their pockets. The Graal Hegemony, it's bloodthirst spilling over into Dronavi and Esharan shipping has now sent it's armed forces into the fray after the Dronavi have declined the request to become a vassal of the Graal Hegemony.
Points of Interest: Grand Campaign: This is the thread for the movement of forces, diplomacy and negotiations. Only those allotted may post in this thread. DURING WAR TIME. ALL INVOLVED CIVILIZATION PURCHASES GO HERE AND THE PURCHASE THREAD. Cycles: One full post (All Belligerents, ModMark) is THREE MONTHS. During a war, every full CYCLE (year), a new turn is allotted. This is to ensure the other civilizations don't go churning ahead while the civilizations at war are left behind. Actions: Every post will use the following format: Purchases, Movement, Diplomacy. Role Play takes place during battles.
Forces: Graal Hegemony: -- 5 Destroyers (1 at 30% Health) (Graal Space) -- 3 Frigates (Graal Space) -- 4 Infantry Armies (Gruul) -- 1 Artillery Army (Gruul) -- 1 Planetary Conscripts (Sorguth Prime)

Battle over High Hroth Result: Graal Victory Background: Two months after declaring war, the Graal Second Fleet mustered with a sizeable invasion force entow and pushed into Dronavi space. The target of the armada was the Dronav world of High Hroth, where a hastily mustered force of Dronavi ships were amassed to meet them. The outcome will decide if the Graal can be beaten back and High Hroth spared from invasion. If the Dronavi fleet is defeated, it will mean that the Graal will control the orbit of the planet and will be free to begin landing troops to begin a land campaign. Aftermath: After putting up fierce and desperate resistance, the Dronavi Defense Fleet was overwhelmbed by the more experienced and better armed Graal ships. The DDF was scattered but not without inflicting losses on the Graal Fleet. The Battle for High Hroth's orbit is over. The Battle for High Hroth proper is set to begin as the Graal prepare to descend onto the harsh surface below.

Battle of Kalmar Result: Graal Victory Background: Following the defeat of the Dronavi Fleet over High Hroth, the Graal have begun landing hundreds of thousands of troops outside the small surface city of Kalmar. The city itself sits on Highway 162, which leads down into the Dronavi underbelly to where the bulk of Dronavi industry and most civilians are located. By capturing Kalmar and the road it sits on, it will provide the Graal with the most direct route to the Dronavi capital. Unfortunately for the Graal, Dronavi troops were able to correctly assume where the bulk of the Graal forces would land and are waiting for them behind hastily constructed fixed defenses. The Graal will have to fight through them in order to reach Kalmar and capture the city (which has for the most part been evacuated). The Graal have massed in three landing zones called Sword, Mothgrog, and Krush. Meanwhile, Dronavi ships have moved into Graal space successfully and have begun small hit and run raids on Graal shipping. It will take time however for this to effect current Graal supply lines. Aftermath:The Graal overwhelmed the defense line, though not without taking heavy casualties. The Graal Third Army has been severely depleted in terms of supplies, troops, and most of its officer corp is dead. Meanwhile, the Dronavi have retreated down Highway 161 to the capital to begin the last stand. Tactical Situatian:The Dronavi are in a rather desperate situatian now, with only the small hab of Verruchtsburg in the Graal's wake before they reach the capital. The Dronav now face several choices. OPTION ONE:Evacuate the capital of all government leadership to other parts of the planet. This will lower the morale of the troops left to defend the capital but increase the odds of a successful Dronav insurgency. OPTION TWO:Halt the evacuation of Verruchtsburg and expose it to Plantar spores. This will sacrifice the over five million Dronav citizens in the city but give the capital a barrier against the Graal. Of course, there is a HIGH probability that the Plantar would also attack Dronav soldiers and make moves towards infecting the capital but in the interim this threat could be contained. OPTION THREE: Stand and fight. The government remains in place, every street and building will be turned into a fortress, the Dronav Army will make its stand and will fight to the death.

Treaty of Linnuwug: 1. The complete and unconditional surrender of the Dronav Armed Forces, including but not limited to the Dronav Home Fleet and the Dronav Defense Forces.
2. The release of all military prisoners of war.
3. The complete removal of all political leaders and thinkers from High Hroth to be moved to Fundin'Garn.
4. The acceptance of the Dronav Holdworlds as a Vassal-World to the Graal Hegemony which may maintain it's own Defense Force of 200,000 and 5 Ships under the stipulation of a Defensive Treaty with the Graal Hegemony and a 20% yearly taxation of all Planetary Income.
