==Plot summary==
The [[Age of War]] isn’t looking good for the Duke of [[Andurien]].  The psychotic [[Kalvin Liao]] now reigns as Capellan Chancellor, and he’s taken a fancy to Mesillia Allard, the Duke's daughter.  Since she wouldn't come to Sian of her own accord, he's sent his forces to collect her, and has been blasting a path through the [[Defenders of Andurien]] – which are now fighting a desperate holding action on worlds across the Duchy.

The 2nd Defenders of Andurien were battling the Capellans on [[Sadurni]], but its Bravo Company, under Captain Neal Haddon, has been recalled to guard the fair Mesillia.  Prior to the Capellan assault on Jojoken, the CCAF commander, Colonel Liu, makes a final demand that Mesillia be turned over, and then presents evidence that the 2nd Defenders were wiped out on Sadurni.  Meanwhile, Duke Allard confirms that the 1st Defenders are falling back across Andurien in the face of two Capellan ‘Mech regiments, and that the world will likely fall within two weeks.  However, unless the Capellan artillery now bombarding Jojoken is stopped soon, the palace and capital will be flattened much earlier.
