	Believing that a war of conquest against the [[Hanseatic League]] was inevitable at some point, Kirov expanded the size of the Imperio's ''[[Imperio Militar del Escorpión|touman]]'' and transferred the Imperio capital from [[Granada]] to [[Valencia]].

Thwarted in their efforts to control Nueva Castile by the Goliath Scorpion conquest, the Hansa's rulers now opposed the Imperio's new settlements, leading to one drawn-out [[Battle of Holdout (3112)|battle]] in [[3112]] on a world subsequently named [[Holdout]].

Scott would continue Kirov's policies and build upon them to successfully lead the [[Hanseatic Crusade|conquest]] of the Hanseatic League a few years later, forming the [[Scorpion Empire]] from the two unified states.<ref name="OTP:HCp19"/><ref>''Operational Turning Points: Hanseatic Crusade'', p. 13</ref> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Operational Turning Points: Hanseatic Crusade]]'' [[Category:Clan Goliath Scorpion Characters|Kirov, Enrico]]
