Syr Darya Crisis

Viral invasion of Syr Darya (Deneb 1810) in 1156 and subsequent clearance operations 1156-1160.

Description (Specifications)

A very large fleet of mixed Imperial and Vargr military ships, controlled by a pair of Alliance Builder strain Viruses, penetrated the Regency frontier shortly after Holiday 1156, and seized Syr Darya in a lightning attack.

History & Background (Dossier)

The fleet grounded a massive 100,000 ton bulk carrier they had somehow managed to secure, and began to dismantle it and the large base facilities it was carrying, burying the pieces in a large underground warren near the downport. The first Regency counterattack was beaten back with heavy losses, and it took a full planetary invasion, complete with large ground force contingents, before the Vampires were defeated and the world was reclaimed. The attack weakened the Frontier border enough to permit another Vampire Hive to invade Antra Subsector, in what is now known as the War of the Antra Pocket.
