The Maranos Conflict – End of Phase 3

Extract from “The Maranos Conflict – A History”

Phase 3 of the conflict was more about changing positions than engaging in battle. The UNA gained Sector A as the Karman forces seemingly withdrew from the campaign. ONI forces advanced against the Cogs in the south, but dug in at the spaceport. The Red Blok also held their positions in sectors B and C. The expected Therian attack failed to materialise and they withdrew from the campaign as did the Cogs. In a totally unexpected move the Cogs abandoned their strong positions and left Maranos to pursue other endeavours elsewhere in the galaxy. The Karman forces then returned to Maranos and set up their headquarters in the former Cog positions on the Red Blok left flank. They moved forward and took sectors E and F.

Now with only four powers involved the campaign entered a fourth phase.
