Units involved: TIE Corps
Description:

Phoenix glanced up at the map projected over Plif's desk, the ever changing collage of colours was a testament to how the TIE Corps was advancing into what had once been Kilji space, liberating systems as they went. It hadn't all been plain sailing by any stretch though.

Even now the TIE Corps forces were heading into the denser parts of the Rift, where Kilji forces were preparing their defences...

Round Two Instructions

During Imperial Storm the TIE Corps battled The Kilji Illumine (a religious empire that sought to spread their religion across the Unknown Regions and the rest of the Galaxy) to a standstill at the Tkon Rift. The Kilji were seeking to advance through the rift and attack the worlds on the far side of it, where the Emperor's Hammer fleet was located. Imperial Storm ended in a strategic victory in that we stopped that from happening, although a tactical stalemate in that the majority of worlds in the Tkon Rift fell to the enemy.

Squadron ReMobilization saw the TIE Corps fall back on the friendly worlds on this side of the Rift, where we effected repairs and regenerated our forces, ready to heed the Fleet Commander's call to move on into the Unknown Regions, once we've taken care of liberating those worlds that fell during Imperial Storm.
