@Gorzill: I'm sorry if this sounds a bit rough (it reaaly osn't my intention), but I don't want the persans to archieve victory after victory against the Imperium of War. It happened once already against the Troodontids and I have really bad memories of that.

Yes the Imperium will seem score victory after victory against the Enlightenment forces in the early-mid stages of the last years of the Cinflict because they are at the height of their power but please remeber that the Conflicts will end with their collapse.

Another reason why the Persans can't end the Second Coalition War with a strategic advantage is that the Imperium end up being the strongest power in Mirus at it's end - heck they almost become as strong (raw power-wise) as the Tyranny for a short while. When they break out of their territories to begin their Berserker Onslaught against Enlightenment space you don't want to be in a forward position against them - as the Waptoria will find out much to their horror.

The Imperium of War hinges on the skill of the Imperator, true. Caligustus begun quite incompetent, true. But the shock of the Tyranny's defeat has changed him, and he has become much more dangerous. He has willingly kept the Imperium's stigma of an incompetent rogue state to avert direction from what they really have been doing - gathering TyrannyTech in absolute secrecy to user in a true unending war in Mirus - and based on how all of you still vieuw the Imperium, it has worked. So I'm not angry about it, quite on the contrary XD

'''Just. as. planned.''' Tzeenchface.

It's just that the Imperium is now capable of taking on the whole Enlightenment Alliance if they want to (and nothing more) - and they will. The Persan alone won't be able to hold their ground. But, I hope, after all, that this will make the final victory against the Imperium all the more satisfying.

All in all, I hope if there can be one last battle in which the Imperium manages to push the Persans away from their borders - at the cost of the Imperium being forced to devastate some of their own border planets. And then the Berserker Onslaught can begin in earnest.
