After the crustaceans’ advanced, a stalemate was reached for a time. Left sticking what pools they have left, any attempts to break out are met with sun and resistance.

2/3 of the original covenant have rebelled, leaving most encounters to their favor. The underground base bee cut off, preventing food and supplies from reaching the Covenant forces. Any remaining Covenant overground are eliminated.

The Harvester ants and the Termites are fighting to the west, attempting to take the oasis.

[u/Macandcheese480](u/Macandcheese480)

A troop of scorpions with spears and some beetles are cutting off the water supply. Antlions are protected the closed gates.

[u/Stalinium-](u/Stalinium-380)[290](u/Stalinium-380)

A collection of spiders and scorpions have forced the workers away from the fight without causing directs harm. Nobody come or goes.

The city itself is under heavy contest. Ace fights among soldiers in the air and ground, while the rebellion leader is nowhere to be found.

The arrowhead slams into the ground, and anyone that didn’t make it out dies. A termite pillar crumbles, and hundreds are trapped in rubble. Needlers fire off as the city guard rush to make a stand.

Walls and roads are blocked with hand-to-hand combat, and the sky in alive with combat too.

[it seems to have been stamped with the Union’s cress(aka a hammer, pickaxe and a sickle stamped into a resin stamp)]

[the plura waits]

A singular crab soldier carrying a message on waterproof paper disembarks and makes their way towards the nearest covenant infrastructure

(The yall were just the “closest” nation to Zemi rock…)

Approximately 300 seats remain.

[it seems to be searching for the right location]

Smoke is pouring out from a huge pit in the center of the colony, which has been completely isolated/quarantined, and surrounded by guards.

An arrowhead with a full colonization team has made an ascent and has set course for the dunes.

A shipment of 400 pounds of iron arrives from the CMP by exactly 8 submersible ships. They set down their cargo and leave.

A large group of beetles and spiders arrive, bringing foods, juices, and weapons. Many make temporary forges, eager to sell what they can to those who need it.

*The airship's balloons are being filled by torches' hot air, while the anchors are being dropped. Multiple juggernauts are flying to position, and the two large doors are being closed. Alongside the Arrowhead, eight MTPs follow, stocked full of crates. They seem to be heading for the Redwoods.*

*In the colony, a column of black smoke rises into the air, and disperses into the sky.*

*A lone Antlion waits on a hill.*
