As the Second D’Sev War rages, the D’Sev’s Allied Tribal Army has launched an ambitious campaign against our trade ports, outposts, and allied tribes.

The D’Sev Holy Imperium has proved itself to be a shockingly efficient enemy. Despite having landed on Foregone less than 30 years ago, they’ve carved out wide swaths of land across the continents, dominated the nomadic firryans through mind control, negotiation, and trade ties, and have even amassed an army of 200,000 highly motivated firryan warriors, with at least 10,000 D’Sev.

Though this isn’t a single army of 200,000, it’s split up into dozens of smaller, local regiments, all of whom heavily outnumber whatever garrisons we have for each port.

Foregone City is still a reliable Protectorate ally, and through them we dominate the north-eastern continent. For all the progress the Imperium has made, Foregone is simply too big a target to capture in the short term. We have two legions on the planet. The 22nd Legion is split around the northeastern continent and has some troops garrisoning the ports, while the 23rd Legion is stationed in Foregone City.

However, with the D’Sev’s interstellar blockade, these two legions are all the planet will get.

The Protectorate only has 32 ports on the wild continents compared to the D’Sev’s 76. Theirs are far more developed than ours, and the largest of our ports is only garrisoned by a single brigade of 1,000 peldak troops. Superior though our soldiers may be, there is a limit to how many numbers we can overcome.

If the Hetmen reinforce the outposts, they must contend with the D’Sev’s mighty seaborn navy. Foregone City’s ports are docked with fishing vessels, trade ships, and luxury liners, with only a handful of warships designed for patrol and coastguard duties. The D’Sev navy certainly outclasses ours.
