Dateline: New Avalon Members of the Federated Suns Military Staff Command announced today that the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns (AFFS) have achieved significant victories during the first days of the massive invasion of the Capellan Confederation which began August 20. Right: Assault on Shensi. An Archer belonging to the 1st Davion Guards RCT fights its way into the city of Hwrang-hi. Marshal Stephen Davion reported only scattered opposition from poorly-armed planetary militia. "We've got them on the run everywhere," said Colonel James Bowin, a military instructor at the NAIS. "Too early to tell, yet, but it looks like we caught them sleeping. Lulling them with those Galahad exercises for the past few years really suckered 'em in." Landings have been reported on nine Capellan worlds. Fierce fighting has been reported on Aldebaran, Algol, and St. Andre, but the situation on all three worlds was described as "well in hand." Drops on Liao, Poznan, and Shensi were virtually unopposed, according to officials, while light casualties have been reported in several clashes on Styk, Pleione, and New Hessen.
