Fiction:Skirmish At New Selvath

Amongst the galaxies shortest wars the Selvath-GFSP conflict lasted only six days, though hostilities lasted minutes, while many consider it not to be a war as there wwere only two battles the GFSP did declare war, so it is documented as such.

Ambush at New Selvath
At the recently rebuilt settlement of Kalia, reffered to as New Selvath an ambassador from the FictionGFSP was requested by the duke of Selvath, Lord Bradth, the recent leader of a military coup that took place mere days prior. Bradth wished to kill the ambassador to prove to the Conqrix that Selvath was prepared to fight and kill their enemies, as Bradth wished to secure an alliance with the Conqirx. A GFSP ambassador arrived along with four guards soon after. They were ambushed by members of the Selvath Militia, and were all promptly killed. The Selvath Militia had two men recieve minor wounds but were otherwise unscathed.

Skirmish at New Selvath
Shortly thereafter, the GFSP congress ratified a decision to invade New Selvath and depose the current regime, at this time the diplomat Lilhath of the Conqrix Empire arrived at New Selvath with two guards to begin negotiations with Lord Bradth. Bradth had disabled New Selvath's sommunications sytem, isolating them from the rest of the galaxy, however, this move ultimately worked to their advantage, as the GFSP was not allowed to invade a nation unless it was made known to them, Bradth had assumed this would happen so he chose to do this. However, Bradth's lieutenant chose to flee Selvath, while onboard his escape ship he was hailed by major Cerra of the GFSP military, informing him of the invasion, now making the invasion of New Selvath legal.

Lilhath and his guards as well as the Selvath Militia prepared for battle as the GFSP landed just outside the city using two Sentinel class gunships. They advanced on the city hoping to take the city without violence and thus did not mobilize the gunships. The defenders began firing at the GFSP forces, however, they were forced to retreat into the center of the city after the two gunships began firing at the walls. The GFSP soldiers flooded the city, however, the density of the buildings rendered their formations ineffective and the capabilities of the gunships reduced. The Selvath Militia and the Conqrix made their stand at the clearing outside the spaceport when Bradth's lieutenant arrived, having a change of heart after recieving major Cerra's transmission. Bradth was killed by his lieutenant who wished to see Selvath spared. Shortly thereafter the Selvath Militia surrendered.

Results
Lilhath, the Conqrix diplomat, was executed and major Cerra and Bradth's lieutenant signed the short treaty of New Selvath, and priest Sovain addressed the GFSP's wounded. The GFSP forces left New Selvath a week later, with the mission of deposing Bradth's regime accomplished.
