Unlike the previous [[Frontier Wars]], the [[Fifth Frontier War|fifth]] started as a well-organized and planned offensive by the [[Zhodani]] and the [[Outward Coalition]], which consisted of the [[Vargr]] and the [[Sword Worlds]]. The Zhodani plan called for the secret shipment of [[Weapon|military weapons]] and [[armour]] to dissident guerilla units on select [[world]]s within the Imperium. These [[Ine Givar|elite Zhodani rebel forces]] planned surprise uprisings against targeted [[Base|Imperial military base]]s. This would divert major groups of Imperial troops, and [[starship]]s, as  well as the attention of the Imperium, as the Zhodani steadily increased their military forces in the [[Spinward Marches]]. Following the surprise uprisings, the Zhodani would launch their primary offensive against weakened and unprotected [[Imperial Space|Imperial territories]].

Description (Specifications)

Unlike the previous Frontier Wars, the fifth started as a well-organized and planned offensive by the Zhodani and the Outward Coalition, which consisted of the Vargr and the Sword Worlds. The Zhodani plan called for the secret shipment of military weapons and armour to dissident guerilla units on select worlds within the Imperium. These elite Zhodani rebel forces planned surprise uprisings against targeted Imperial military bases. This would divert major groups of Imperial troops, and starships, as well as the attention of the Imperium, as the Zhodani steadily increased their military forces in the Spinward Marches. Following the surprise uprisings, the Zhodani would launch their primary offensive against weakened and unprotected Imperial territories.

The Zhodani conspirators planned to smuggle arms to the dissident forces within Imperial borders with the help of Regina Subsector chief executive of the Sharurshid Megacorporation, Konrad Kiefer. Kiefer, unsuspectingly, planned the shipments using Sharurshid's facilities and resources, as well as his own contacts with black market smugglers, criminals, and interstellar pirates. The Zhodani no doubt made lofty promises of power and wealth to Kiefer to turn him against the Imperium.

Fortunately, Sharurshid's leading authorities already suspected Kiefer was illegally trading, embezzling corporate funds and forging company records. Lenara Raclor, a special agent from Transom, Sharurshid's intelligence agency, was assigned to investigate Kiefer's activities. She soon uncovered the Zhodani plot and found records of shipment dates and locations of secret arms deliveries. With the help of several ex-military travellers, Raclor obtained the holographic data and accompanying decoding keys and...

Now it's your turn to write history! You control the five ex-military travellers as they set out to thwart the Zhodani conspiracy and capture traitorous Konrad Kiefer.

The fate of the Imperium rests in your hands. How will the Fifth Frontier War unfold? Your actions will determine the outcome and change history forever! [1]
