On the prosperous world of Varstagg (your world Luft) a new governor has been appointed (considering all the others were dead) the new governor has a lot on his plate, as Ork raiding parties have become bolder and deadlier.

The Governor immediately decides to deploy the national guard. If the orcs want to play, then the governor has to show that he means business. The national guard are ordered to leave no survivors.

The national guard are able to purge some camps, the Orks make a successful counterattack on a small mining town named Coalsburg, the poor survivors won't last long.

As the ogres attack, the national guard are ordered to attack the town. The idea is to attack the distracted orcs from behind. Hopefully such an assault will kill the orcs at the small expense of a handful of miners.

The assault goes smashingly, and over half of their number is lost, some minor casualties have been inflicted on the PDF but nothing major, the Orks attempt to regroup with a larger camp near by, and assault the town once more.

The National Guard doesn't care about the town and attacks the camp instead when a good chunk of the orc army is gone.

This raiding party is almost completely destroyed, with few survivors, despite this being only one of the camps, this provides a significant boost to morale around the troops, and the citizens are confident in Varstaggian supremacy. Your advisors advise you to invest more on science, as your scientists are close to a breakthrough. Meanwhile, on the world of Taurus, a civil war has erupted, the main reason being the corruptness of the government.

Funds are taken and invested into science. The scientists are told to produce something worthwhile to the government.

No scientific gains have been made yet (this will last for about a year) On Taurus the government is losing badly, and the opportunity for a new governor is ripe. The war is going good against the Orks, but the Orks have been getting reinforcements from somewhere.

Investigations are launched to figure out where the orcs are from. The Governor also wants to construct a space laser to reduce military operation casualties.

It seems that the works have been flying in from the planet Lunia, a small world near Varstagg, it seems it could be blocked off quite easy, as the navy is capable. Lunia seems like it could be a neat resource colony. (Space laser? Would you mind specifying?)

A report is requested about the planet. (Administration wants to know who owns it, what resources are present and of course is there a nice place to...attack)

"There doesn't seem to be any reports on this planet Mr.Governor, the Imperial Expedition Service must have missed it" your main aide reports, "would you like me to send a expedition?"
---------------
The Space Laser project is going well, and satellites have seen a large Ork camp in a mountainous area of Varstagg.

"Yes send an expedition."

"It will be done" Advisor Malthus assures you.
--------
"The space laser is finished, sir." Your highest general, John Green informs you. "The war against the green skins is doing well, and the men are encouraged."

"Perhaps we should use the encouragement and rid ourselves of the Orcs once and for all."

"Yes sir, we have reports" the general hands you a data slate "of an Ork stronghold in the mountains. It is possible that one of the tribal leaders is operating from this location."

The expedition force returns a couple months later, or whats left of it. The captain of the expeditions ship hands you a data slate. The slate outlines losses and potential resource gains. The planet seems to be a rich ore planet. The slate also mentions that this is a Orkish home world.

The governor turns to his advisers "what shall we do about our orc problem?"

"I suggest an orbital bombardment, followed with infantry assaults." The general replies "they seem to be dug in well, but that's what the bombardment is for."

"How advanced are they in terms of technology? And what is their space fleet size?"

"Fleet size sir? If our scouts are any indication, the fleet is practically nonexistant, most of the vessels they use are normal ore barges. The technology may be a problem, they have comm units somehow, and their weapons are only slightly less advanced than our own. They are undisciplined, however, and they are prone to near suicidal attacks."

"Well then, we will rely on arial attacks. Create some propaganda around us having to prevent further innocent lives taken by ogres and get the fleet ready. Once we control their atmosphere we want to bring the space laser and try to eliminate their leaders to cause ridicules amount of confusion."

(To clarify this is the world that you are trying to colonize, yes?) "sir, propaganda is hardly nessicary, everyone hates them, I'll inform the troops" the General says.

(yes)

"Propaganda is always necessary. What do you think will happen once the orcs are gone? Then people will find a new threat and it better not be the government!"
