When the Stars Trembled

The fires of war in Serroco have burned for weeks, sparked when the Children of the Watch launched their crusade to purge Mandalore of pacifist weakness. What began as a Mandalorian civil war has become the proving ground where the galaxy's underworld united to break the chains of so-called lawful authority.

From the first engagements, the pattern was set. The early battles saw Shadow Dominion forces - Son-Tuul Pride legions and their bandit allies like the Skree, Children of the Watch and Guavian Death Gang - shatter Mandalore's patrols with brutal efficiency. Remember well the ambush where Vermin Court saboteurs disabled an entire corvette group, or the day the Knights of Ren cut through Antarian Ranger defenses like a vibroblade through flesh.

Arrayed against us stood Mandalore's Peacekeeper Coalition: the Mandalorian government, Confederacy of Independent Systems, Antarian Rangers, Czerka Corporation, Jawa Offworld Enterprises, Skulls, Muurian Interstellar, and Krath. Yet with each new enemy came new allies to the Shadow Dominion cause - the Zann Consortium defilers, Blackstar Raiders, Pyke Syndicate, Dread, and Sun Guard.

The numbers tell the true story: 472 coalition ships reduced to scrap against 251 Shadow Dominion losses. Seven restricted-tech fighters captured intact, worth more than entire planetary treasuries. Remember the thunder offensive where we broke their Fury-class interceptors? The electronic warfare ambush where we turned their own Rebel tech against them? These were not random skirmishes - they were the hammer blows that forged our victory.

Now, with the Underworld's Void Armada having established unquestioned dominance in open battle, we enter a new phase. No longer constrained by conventional warfare, Shadow Dominion forces have shifted to devastating asymmetric operations across the system. Let the CIS lie about driving us out; we control the void while they cling to their crumbling stations.

Every faction of our united front now applies its unique strengths to this new campaign. The coalition fractures under the strain of bureaucracy and competing interests, while we grow stronger with each passing cycle. The Children of the Watch began this war to remind Mandalore of its warrior soul - in the end, we may remind the entire galaxy who truly controls the darkness between stars.
