The commander of the Tirithian forces, General sought to join forces with Orcgrubad to protect their planet, though the young Serindia lord felt nothing for a cooperation with orcs.

Ramashe rose from her chair as Ramjon’s transmission became blurry, the Hutters had arrived within the Ramalivua System. Her voice was one of determination and resolve. As the transmission fell away, Ramashe eyes narrowed in anger. Once again someone dared to challenge the might of, though months earlier she declared a less militaristic road while on ''-station, it seemed galactic events demanded otherwise.

At the 17th of January, the princess in exile, the adventurous  walked the balustrade of the Orcgrubad arena, deep in though after her recent visit to creepy and abandoned  city Creckabad, she found nothing but an empty ghostly city.

Her thoughts were rudely interrupted by someone blocking her path, she had grown accustomed to the rude and brutal orcs and their contempt of humanoids, but the creature in front of her was something different. Narrowing her eyes she politely asked if she might pass, keeping her courteously in mind that always seemed to please the orcs. To her surprise the green reptilian simply smiled and readied his axe-weapon. Finduliaë froze at her place, did her brother finally located her, the one true threat to his might and rule? Before she could reply a large shadow appeared behind her, a massive brown orc with a sickening smile and awful stench.
 * Finduliaë: "W-what do you want from me stranger?"
 * Gaitonius: "Greetings your highness, I bring warm words of your broth, Prince ."


 * Bolgrash: "So this is the sister of our Prince? You are coming with us girl, before my green brothers are starting to ask questions."

Before Finduliaë could react, she was knocked at her back head by Bolgrash and her world went dark when her knees fell underneath her. Bolgrash threw the young Sinleri princess over his should and together with Gaitonius they made their way out of the city and were transported to Gaitonius D-5 cruiser that was landed miles away. At the cruiser, the two warlords were unhappily surprised by the news the crew had for them.

Ramashe was surprised and as anticipated complied. The Serindia Empress agreed with any chance and opportunity to improve the relations with the, partly of course to his own dark influence over her as well. Chodecra did not aid the Rambo efforts at out of the goodness and concern over the people of Ramalivua, the intelligence gathered over the last few weeks about the, indicated that their new leader, a  by the name of  was in search of his sister, who appeared to be hiding at Ramalivua. If he could secure her for the Emperor, the Empire would have a powerful asset or bargain against the Kingdom. The captain looked with disgust at the Inquisitor, her first mission and it was under an Inquisitor of the Empire. None the less she nodded and began issuing orders for the task force to ready themselves.
 * Chi Chodecra: "Captain, scan the area for Hutter activity, an attack is imminent with our arrival in the system, signal the carriers to deploy their troops near Ramalivua Tirith."
