Counterstrike

The Iron Lady has met her match.Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Hanson and the CSV Margaret Thatcher welcome reinforcements to the Orion Spur. Though it's not a heavy-hitting battlegroup, the light carriers and support vessels sailing through the wormhole are sufficient firepower to handle what's left of the terrorists.But overconfidence is their undoing.League-made heavy battle cruisers strike without warning and decimate the new arrivals, obliterating an unarmed hospital ship in the surprise attack. Arthur isn't the only one who sees red as horrific losses pile up, the enemy seeming to anticipate their every FTL jump. With President Robbins refusing to send overwhelming force to end the conflict quickly, desperation drives Arthur to use any means necessary to gain intel from their war captive.And threats of mutiny once again gain steam.Intelligence collected under duress proves ineffective, while looming court martial brings Arthur to the breaking point. But it will take more than a crisis of conscience to see the conflict through to the bitter end against a dominating force.It will take an iron will.
