The Yellow Typhoon
and the Final Waltz
Blurb:
The Imperium's Fourth Chevauchee into the Confederacy of Independent Planets has ended in unmitigated disaster. The Imperium, trapped in a bubble of byzantine squabbling, scrambles to reorganize what remains of its theater forces in the face of an impending counteroffensive, though incompetent civilian-military leadership plagues the Confederacy all the same.
Emperor Mikhail of Barbossa has appointed his most trusty military commander, Jonathan Churchill the Black Prince, to lead a diversion using the mobile asteroid fortress Zeta to bide time for the Imperium.
The Black Prince succeeds in dropping an orbital colony on the Confederate planet of Ben Nevis, and makes a mad dash to capitalize on his true objective: the penetration of the Confederacy's halo Maginot Line protecting the Confederacy's planet-capital of Galland!
Confederate high command acts swiftly assembling a strike team ahead of the main naval force gathering at Maginot Line Point Farragaig. One such member is Victoria Schwarzenberger, a Mobile Trooper ace pilot who is a Neo Sapiens: a next step in humanity's evolution exhibiting sharp spatial awareness.
As Victoria and her team race against time to the unfolding flashpoint, the stage is set for the beginning of the end of the hundred-and-fifty-year galactic war between the two entities.
