[b]Briggs Fortress[/b]
As the Roa'marii approached they got a greater glimsp of brigs. The Fortress it self seemed to be built into the sides of two different mountains, in fact it was built into a mountain pass. Soldiers dotted the blackened metal walls as they watched the Roa'marii approach, giant guns hung around, pointed up into space. Approaching them was a rather tall imposing figure, who when they got closer was clearly a woman. The men who had come to get the Roa'marii immediately stopped and saluted. Her hair was blonde and her eyes blue, her uniform was a thick longcoat like many of the Brigg's men wore, with the pin and name on it indicating her as the General.

"Greetings Roa'marii, I am General Oliva Armstrong of Briggs Fortress. This pass here is a important for strategic and logistical reasons, so Briggs was built here to hold it incase of Ground Invasion. We also play host to one of the Space Marine Legions, and they are much more tough then the Bellator. I expect if you are into friendly sparring matches, you will enjoy them." said Oliva, in a rather deep voice for a woman.

Emperor Apollo Callisto took a short bow to Nox, before speaking.

"It is excellent to meet you Nox, you may simply refer to me as Apollo. Our Empires seem to share a lot in common, and it seems you would be interested in a alliance. I would also like to discuss the matter of our recently discovered magica..." said the Emperor before a Roman came charging in from the teleporters. He took a short bow before speaking.

"Sorry to interrupt Emperor, but it is urgent." spoke the newly arrived Roman, handing Apollo a piece of paper. As Apollo read his face instantly went red in anger. He approached Nox, speaking in a angered tone.

"We do not know what you think of it, but the Abh, as we have come to learn their names are just mercilessly slaughtered a entire planet of 100 million Roman Civilians. They did nothing. To us to kill civilians in warfare is the most vile, dishonorable, and horrible thing one can do. I shall see the heads of their government roll for this!" stated Apollo, clearly thinking of what to do next.

The Admiral leading the combined fleet took a moment and sat back in his chair, observing the holographic map. A few frigates had been lost in the assualt, but otherwise the Roman Fleet had held strong. Taking a moment and zooming in on the map, he found the Knightmares. Their kill counts were quite high as they headed back to the fleet, boarding a troop carrier that would soon be landing to begin the first stages of the invasion. As the Admiral setup the blockade another battlegroup arrived, however the Battleship had been painted with the symbol of the Emperor. The Admiral transmitted a message to the battlegroup.

"Who are you? And why is the symbol of the Emperor emblazoned on your ship?"

"I am Princess Aurora vi Italia, I have a file with the Emperor's official encryption confirming this." transmitted Aurora, sending the file to the Admiral.

"I see... Why are you here then?"

"I have come to manage this invasion, as well estiblish the government on this planet."

"It is under your control then Princess."

With that Aurora ordered the second stage of her invasion plan for the Abh World. The Romans began a bombing campaign from orbit, however they only targeted military bases and other defenses, and even then only those that were nowhere near civilian settlements. With the conclusion of the bombing campaign the Romans landed several troop carriers outside the largest city on the planet, with the Knightmares moving in first, floating so they could take out air and ground alike. Their antiproton beams shredded through Abh Forces, as hordes of the Imperial Guard, the Legions, and a few divisions of Space Marines charged and began fighting. The older mechs of the Imperial Guard and Armed Forces assisted, as gunships moved in and dealt with air forces as well as ground units. Hulking Emperor tanks charged to handle the Abh's heavy vehicles, as the massive clash between Abh and Roman forces begun.
