With a flash of light several jumpships arrived.
Quickly they dispached Dropships who started their burn towards the planet
A pre-recorded Message was aired by the dropship:
"Warriors of Clan Goliath Scorpion. Followers of the true Path.
You know best how it is to follow a vision. We share a common trait - a forseeing skill.
One month ago, our clan did commit a rite that has given us insight into the future since the days of the founders... a 'Rebirth of Souls' rite.
We saw brave men standing against the darkness, fighting for their survival... and failing.
They were slain, one by one and all hope was fuitile untill a massive beast saved them. It was a Chimera! A beast with a cats body and a scorpions tail.
You, as well as we, must see this sign.
We know that our both clans have a troubled history, especially in the last years.
While many still regard us as traitors, the Scorpions are believed to be in bed with the Dark.
We feel that only your leadership was tainted, as was the leadership of the burrocks before!
Warriors, techs, laborers of the GoliathScorpion clan! This is our destiny. Look deep into yourself, seek a necrosia inducted vision, if you have not already and follow it.
You will see the Chimera as well!
I have sent volunteers of the most prized Galaxies of our clan to issue trials of harvest.
We do not come in numbers and we will leave if you refuse.
Still, look inside you and you will KNOW that this is the RIGHT path to walk!
I am Khan Nathan West and all of those Clusters act on my command!"
With that message a second one was radioed:
"This is the Nova Star Keshik of Clan Spirit Cats Alpha Galaxy. We hereby issue a trial of harvest against this world, all men and personell and all troops garisoning it. Furthermore we request safcon as we have not brought any air units.
Clan Goliath Scorpion. What is your answer?"

"Director," spoke weapons tech senior grade Dylan, "it appears the Spirit Cats have overrun our decoy force. Orders?"
Senior Director Thomas Bohr considered the holotank with concern, "Nothing that we could have done, really. Implement case Omega."
"Aff, Director. Fire control switching to orbital support mode now..."
Trial Zone
Planet New Kerensky
Star Command Zigfried flinched as his thermal warning sensor flashed bright red. Glancing left and right, he could not locate the source of the attack then... he looked up just in time to see the cascading fire of a naval PPC bolt tear a hole through the clouds and reduce his Shadow Cat to embers.

what happens here?
is my force destroyed?
instructions plz
I'd issue a scatter command...
OOC: Hugin was right, how about scattering?
Also, if scattering must not apply, are the Scorps gone for good then?
And it was Beta Galaxies Honor Keshik, not Alpha Galaxy.
The Cat forces did not have time to scatter as the Scientists had led them into a trap. All Scorpions are gone the planet will listed as contested on the map.
Ok. Do you know the name of the Cats saKhan? Cuz that should have been him here.
