Preparations
Captain-General Jessica Marik sent out "invitations" to potential military allies to join the campaign to ultimately take former FWL capital world of Atreus from Regulan Fiefs.[1] The campaign was design in two phases. The first phase is taking the worlds of Ionus and Alterf, then in second phase converging on Atreus itself. Creating a bridge between two halves of the former League which leaves Atreus in middle. The Alternate plan is to leap frog Ionus and Alterf and take Atreus head on.[2]
