A quiet system since it was colonized, the space near Flaum began to show a surge of traders traffick since the planets declared its independency from the Taurian concordat during the Jihad, especially since the Flaum central goverment enacted some new mesures to attrack more commerce. But today things got "busy" when several jump signatures began to appear in Flaum`s Sun`s Zenith Point. Several Jumpships, prudly carrying the Taurian concordat crest appeared in the jump point, fully loaded with dropship, and almost inmediatly after jump, began to deploy fighters.
"People of Flaum, i am Comptroller Ivan Plowsky of the Taurian Guard. Today we have come to Flaum to despose a criminal goverment that supports terrorist that have hurt the Taurian people, your people, and bring Taurian peace and stability to this system" After this brief message, the Taurian dropship began to deattach and burn into the system.

After a month and a half of grueling fighting, the last Flaum Regime partisans are flushed out of the hiding places and exterminated by Taurian 'Mechs and Battle Armor, backed up by fighters sortieing from the orbiting carriers. A few days later, the ragged remnants of Flaum's breakaway government "come down from the mountains" to offer unconditional surrender to the Taurian Guards.
