Followers of the recent actions of the FrE remind us that when Captain-General Ja Operation Dagger on October 1, the Duchy of Andurien refused to take part. Although this thrust against the Isle of Skye netted the worlds of Poulsbo, Timbiqui, Launum, Phecda, and Hilton, Dame Katherine Humphreys argued that it was against the wrong enemy, that the time was now auspicious to attack the Capellan Confederation. On December 2, a hospital on Scarborough treating Capellan wounded was bombed. A Capellan tank regiment on planet for refitting rioted seeing upon so many friends killed. The regiment attacked a local police station, killing everyone there.

Andurien Prepares

This was all the Anduriens needed to fuel their long-held fear of the Capellans. The Fourth Andurien Defenders were heavy-handed in their supression of the attack. Dame Katherine declared war on the Capellan Confederation. Within the week Andurien troops had taken the Capellan world of Palladaine and invaded several others. Captain-General Marik is said to be mediating between the combatants.
