A large number of JumpShips appeared at the nadir jump point and began flushing DropShips that accelerated towards the planet below.
"This is General H.R. McMaster of the Commonwealth Guards. We're here to retake this world for the Republic in which it was so recently severed from. All foreign troops will withdraw or face our guns."
You definitely picked the right tact on this one. CSA forces will be moving through on HTM.
10.5 FP of mixed jumpers, droppers, and fighters escorting several ground clusters.

"General McMaster, this is General Carter of the Star League Defense Force. This world is under the protection of the Star League Defense Force. You are hereby ordered to recharge and depart this system."
If you know both yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.

(I need to see if these guys even leave Halifax first, actually. Once I get an init roll and that situation is determined, I'll hit this thread back and we can go from there.)
SLDF Init

(What SLDF forces are in space? - the Cats engage them with all forces avaiable)
No SLDF naval forces.
Clan Spirit Cat Warships that were on naval engagement switch to orbital bombardment and start bombarding the SLDF troops on the planet
OOC - Need to get a faction player opinion on this.
General Wei Lang considered his options. A Clan naval star was preparing to bombard the planet, and erase the SLDF presence on Hinckley, and he doubted there was anything that could be done about it. He considered attempting to issue a trial, but he wasn't versed well enough in the Clan ways to try it. He turned to his communications officer.
"Get me a link to the Clan fleet. I'll not have our boys die without defending themselves."
"Clan flagship, this is General Wei Lang, Capellan Empire 5th Imperial Reserve Cavalry, flying SLDF colors. I have no desire to be bombed from orbit, unable to defend myself. We will surrender, under the condition that you allow us to leave unmolested. I am willing to Trial for the right to leave. I await your response."
His Com officer stared at him in disbelief.
"Sir, arn't you worried about what the SLDF commander is going to say about this? We could be tried for desertion!"
"We'll worry about that when it happens Lieutenant. I've faith that Zhan will support my decision, he won't look down on us for preserving our strength. What would be gained by staying and being glassed from orbit? We wouldn't be doing anyone any good, except for giving the Clanners some target practice. Better to run and live to fight another day. Have the men prepare their machines, for either eventuality."
"General Wei Lang of the Capellan Empire 5th Imperial Reserve Cavalry. This is Star Admiral Katrin Leroux onboard the Remembrance.
We accept your offer of surrender under the following conditions:
First: All Wargear will change to Clan Spirit Cat posession. This includes every machine above five tons in weight, ammonition, mech parts, Battlearmor suits and fuel.
All personal Wargear like firearms, body armor and personal equipment remains in posession of your unit, will be confiscated and returned to you when you are droped off.
Second: All Personell will be picked up by Clan Spirit Cat vessels and transported to the Free Worlds League as soon as Possible. There you will be released and a save passage back to the Capellan Empire will be organized by Clan Spirit Cat."
a short pause
"Are theese conditions acceptable for you, quiaff?"
"Star Admiral Leroux, I would prefer to keep my force intact, men and machines. Might I propose a Trial for the equipment? If we win, we will be allowed to leave with our surviving machines, and leave all salvage to your troops. If we loose, we leave our remaining equipment to you. In either event, the remainder of your offer is acceptable."
RWR forces never arrived at Hinckley.
"Well bargained and done.
As I do not field any ground forces in my fleet, I challenge you to a 'trial' of chess to be played on the bridge of my flagship. Do you accept?"
"I do. My forces will stand down."
OOC: General Wei Lang transmits his position to the orbiting fleet, and boards a dropship bound for the Clan flagship

OOC: Either approach is fine, though I for one think an actual chess game would be 100% pure awesomesauce.
