The Eternal Struggle: A Sith Trials Story

The Eternal Struggle: A Sith Trials Story  

The year is 150 ABY. The Sith Empire reigns over a large portion of the Galaxy. But all is far from peaceful and in order. The Federation of Democratic Planets is still locked in a hot to cold to hot power struggle with the Empire, vying for multiple systems all over the galaxy. On top of this, Crime syndicates swoop in to claim territories embroiled with conflict. These wars have been given a name by the Sith Troops. The Eternal Struggles.

Among the greatest troops fighting for the glory of the Empire are the First Imperial Special Tactics Battalion, and Albtraum Squad, the Premier Ground and Air/Space units in the Imperial Military, under the overall banner of the “Black Legions”. They are sent to the forefront of every battle. They are not the Sith Masters, fighting in with the mysterious powers of the Force. They do not fight with the Dark Side or the Light. They fight out of a sense of honor and duty, they fight for each other. Patriotism for their great homes. And these are their stories.

The Campaign of the Valc is only one of many across the stars as the Eternal Empire moves to bring peace, security, and justice to the entirety of the galaxy. The men and women of the Imperial Military and Eternal Sith Empire serve and move forward with for the glory and stability of it.

Soldiers, Officers, and Mercenaries on all fronts and Corps will be needed to continue the fight.

As the struggle continues the men and women of the Empire remain vigilant, stalwart, and faithful, every present and marching forward for the will of the Empire and the Dark Council.

Heeding the call to do their duty.

After initial victories on the systems Valc VII and Phaeda, the force the Imperial Sith Empire have pushed on and laid siege to Ankus, their third targeted system as they systematically push into the Federation controlled space. Engaging in a prolonged ground siege campaign that has laid waste to much of the planet’s northern hemisphere. While the system is now under Sith control, key strongholds still pose a threat and hold out with the potential to undo the gains thus far.
