[hider= Gali Capital siege broken] Two days ago Under strike commander Var'gas The Gali Siege was broken. For several week the City and planet were under siege, under the command of the Gali High Marshal Marka Ilos The Gali forces of 35,000 Regular army units with 50,000 "Citizen soliders" supported by 100 Shan special forces held out against over 2,000,000 Krall soliders. One of our reporters was present during the siege and was able to catch this footage:
*the ruins of an urban center building a squad of Gali soldiers rest, The sounds of heavy shelling and gun fire can be heard reality close by.*
GNN Reporter: What is your name trooper?
Gali Infantryman: "Vekt Calis 173rd Rifle division" 
*The infantry man looks exhausted as he sits on what used to be part of the ceiling The occasional rumble of artillery hitting nearby shakes dust from the ceiling. 
GNN Reporter: "What do you think of the situation? do you think victory is possible?"
*The infantry man sighs as he places his face in his hands*
Gali Infantryman: "I Know the Krall were cruel...but Gods above....those monsters....They ate the wounded... I don..."
*Before the Soldier can finish a group of three Shan walk in, dressed in their fully outfitted armor with a urban camo scheme. one was a female armed with a sniper rifle the other two are male armed with a spec ops version of the standard assault rifle* 
Shan Leader: "Calta set up over there make sure you take out the pack leaders and the officers...Vas with me.. Listen up my Gali comrades we got word of incoming wave of Krall pr.."
*suddenly a loud shriek can be heard. The reporter moves to get a shot of what made that sound. looking out from the building a massive pack of Krall are charging towards their location. in the midst of them stands a significantly taller one  with a far more regal look and Red crimson tunic like body glove over a Black with gold and red secondary colored Full body armor.The helmet was crafted in a similar styling of Corinthian of old earth Dressed in a full from head to toe armored with a flowing cape and armed with a wrist mounted ranged weapon and a deadly looking close combat blade.As the Camera settles on his a crack rings out as a round impacts on the krall's head causing him to stumble back, The Krall rights itself and lets out a shriek as it points at the position of the squad.
Shan Soldier: Its a Commander! quick all fire on it now!
Gali Soldier: A what!? why!? What in the name of Gates is it so important.
Shan soldier: Think walking tank with the speed that outmatches most others and with a mind that is trained in tactics, strategy, and huge knowledge of breaking an enemy.
*Footage ends*
The footage was taken only days before Shan forces broke the siege. The Ground forces ground the Krall to halt causing over 80,000 casualties. There is still information pouring in as news is released by the Gali and Shan military. You will be informed as soon as possible.
