Pacification of Dependent Worlds
The Pacification of Dependent Worlds is a historical event that has occurred in Uncharted Space.
- This campaign was an example of how they developed tactical methods which could exploit their strengths and diminish the abilities of their enemies.
- The Righteous Hand is the newly christened name for the Unity of Sed naval forces.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Righteous Hand has been looking for ways to please its' gracious overmind. His will had deemed that more souls should be brought into contact with his expanding consciousness. As a result a series of military operations were launched into territory coreward of the existing Unity of Sed territory. The main prize were the advanced technologies and capacious shipyards of Entremis (Halcyon 1204 A766878-B). The Harbor class Orbital Station and the Gunsan class Orbital Dockyards would allow the fleet to expand at an alarming rate, far faster than The Last Line can keep pace. These operations are what paved the way for the Entremis class Military Transports and the mighty Sutherland class Ship of the Line.
The remainder of the strikes were a feign to obscure the actual goals. The Dependent Worlds were unaware at first what the intentions and disposition of the fleet of The Righteous Hand, as was intended. A series of natural disasters, normally ignored by the Sedist Movement, suddenly inspired an out poring of aid convoys and relief columns. Once the turmoil settled, further "assistance" programs extended the relief forces' stay, until it became apparent they had no intention of leaving.
By the time armed resistance was attempted, the initiative had been lost and The Righteous Hand could dictate the tempo of operations in the area of battle. Forward deployed Unity class Scouts kept the admiralty inside the decision loop of their foes. Two flotillas of Penedur class Destroyers were kept busy running sorties against local shipping trying to support resistance cells. Their small marine platoons made several critical orbital insertions using their drop capsules to take less advanced enemies unaware. They captured and re-flagged many free traders and merchants. Particularly hard hit were the vulnerable Valiant Conveyor class Liberty Ships. These were turned to military uses and used as Trojan horses to launch surprise attacks. The use of psionically talented commandos were instrumental in these operations. Psionically subjugated civilians were turned into implanted throngs of human assault waves. Defenders hesitated to fire on their former colleagues. Unsustainable in the long run these strikes were enough to tip the scales until main line assault marine units equipped with Unity of Sed 3T Grav Tanks and Unity of Sed 6T G-Carriers could make further resistance pointless. The Sedulan class Transports were used to deliver the elite units for targeted strikes.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Experts agrees that future military campaigns will expand as ship building capacity increased to facilitate follow-on expansion which will continue unless checked by outside main fleet elements.
