Auros: A symbol of Triumph turned to one of Defeat

2240AD/ 3 A.S/A.B

(S)"Hmmph, would you look at this, the nice view of Auros, im glad they had decided to surrender, else we were more than capable of turning it into a pile of debris through orbital bombardment...now now, let us rename this capital, Eritis, it suits it way better"

(Kl) "Fleet Admiral sir, im sure the council would approve of the renaming of the capital...yet what about the planet? do you think we should rename it?"

(S)"Well Klark, I think the council would agree that we keep it the same, the legion still exists as a mere remnant, let Auros be a reminder of their failiure and defeat, what do you say?"

(Kl)"Ok Fleet Admiral sir, roger that"

Klark leaves the room to contact the council discretely

(S) Opens the comm to Captain Kendra Kent of the "EL Derinius", a Toro class Battlecruiser

(K) "Fleet Admiral sir, what matters have arisen?"

(S)"None from my side Captain, anything on your side? any legion remnants trying to take back Auros? Regarding the legion, does anyone know where they have warped to?"

(K)"No remnants present here Fleet Admiral, none jumping in nor out, no one knows where they have jumped to...unfortunately..."

(S)"Dont worry Captain, this just makes things a lot more fun...I always found their defiance and covert nature entertaining"

(K)"Well sir, I guess youd be correct, am I required for anything else right now?"

(S)"Nothing new captain, just keep your orbital plane clear of any hostiles, legion or non legion, if you detect any hostile signatures while im down here order the fleet to warp nearby, engage with all weapons, dont hold back, thats all for now, await further instruction until im back up, any reports from the lunar fleet?"

(K)"Negative Fleet Admiral sir, no hostile signatures nor jump signatures detected."

(S)"Alright, Fleet Admiral Shellion out, good luck Captain"

Comm cuts

-Fleet Admiral Shellion Davis after defeating the Auros Defence fleet, resulting in the surrender of Auros, observing the Auron Architecture and attending to some other matters

Auros, originally terraformed by the former Helian Empire, was once the great lush Capital of the Auros Legion, for about 3 years until the Ernitares League finally captured it after the 42nd Attempt (Hence Fleet Admiral Shellion saying he finds their Defiance entertaining) in the Great Annexing of Auros, due to the prescence of a Warmonger class vessel and the defence fleet being weakened by 2 previous attempts (and 1 random attack from some outlaws...which didnt do much) from different factions which had taken place several days prior. The Auros Legion during the Siege had realised theyd statistically lose, hence leading to most Hab Governers making the decision of installing good condition warpdrives from heavily damaged ships, onto the hab city, in order to jump away to avoid the Legions Extinction and to ensure revenge on the Enitares League for taking Auros.

Lore

The Auros Legion was a Faction which began pretty lucky after the Shattering. Leaders of the legion had decided that itd be best to not be a militaristic expansionist faction, yet rather just try to survive the chaos, since the Legion didnt want to risk mining operations within the nearby asteroid belt being destroyed by rivalling militaristic factions, putting them on a chopping block. Fortunately, the legion did have a stable economy since in the days of the Helian Empire, Auros was the tourism center of System 1-C (formerly the Grinifrin system) and was still gaining quite the attention due to its beauty and due to the fact that the Legion had negotiated a Ceasefire with the Helian Remnants successfully (they tried diplomatic negotiations with many factions, especially the Enitares league, yet...none of those were successful), not just by those who were plotting espionage operations (most have been discovered and the people responsible were dealt with), yet by those wanting to live better lives and refugees from many star systems. Unfortunately, many sought to claim as much as they could and the Auros Legion became a target, primarily by the militaristic and dominant Enitares league, due to them having Warmonger class vessels stationed on their Capital like many. This has lead to many attacks on Auros and its asteroid moon Helianar after war was declared on 26th May 2 A.B/A.S (After Burst/After Shattering, 2 A.B/A.S=2239AD). A total of 42 attempts have followed since war was declared by the league, with the moon of Helianar, having all facilities destroyed on the 40th attempt on January 2nd 3 A.B/A.S, thanks to a strike from the planet Ernitar itself using its Heavy missile facilities. With Helianar gone, Capital warship and Warmonger captains of the league could breathe a sigh of relief, which indicated that the legion didnt have much time until Auros was taken...Hence the final siege of Auros was successful 5 months later with the legion surrendering due to them not wanting Orbital bombardment to occur.
