Battle for Talmar
Precursors
The Emerald Legion had spent decades researching Talmar and intervening in subtle ways to weaken the planet to their tactics. They planted Legionnaires in various positions on the planet, from everyday workers keeping tabs on the populace to political assistants nudging officials in desired directions. Other times they abducted native Talmarians to implant a chip in their brains that could be used to manipulate that person's behavior. These innocents became unwilling sleeper agents for the Legion. The Legion's goal was keep the planet isolated and out of the Protectorate Alliance. In doing so, the planet remained TL2, with primitive weaponry and without allies to call upon. Ryker Derrix's rise to power in the Unchained Armada disrupted this, as he armed his mercenaries with TL4 gear acquired off-planet. The Legion countered this by feeding tensions with the local Yellow Jackets militia. In pointing the two groups at each other, neither could prepare for what was to come. In addition to Talmar being an easy target, it was also home to a pre-human alien planetary defense cannon. The Legion's goal was a swift takeover and immediate control of this cannon - housed in a location locals called The Hive - to fully entrench themselves on the planet. The alien data disk they acquired from Geotera was all they needed to use it for their own purposes.Information

I don't usually build Sci Fi worlds but this is really cool. I love the lead up to the actual battle and then the consequences after as well. I struggled with this prompt in the Summer Camp challenge so well done :)
Thank you! I also struggled, so it's really encouraging to hear that you liked it :)
