INTRODUCTION
After the Empire's fall from its set of power on Coruscant, and the following Rebel take-over, many individuals struck out on their own, determined to carve their own little niche of power in the Galaxy.
One such person was the pirate, and now self-proclaimed Warlord-Admiral, Darius. His piratical activites gave him some measure of succes: continous attacks on shipping lanes and merchant ships enabled him to build a considerable Fleet, which has come to be known as the Goliath Fleet. His activities had no effect on the workings of the Emperor's Hammer, and had thus far been ignored.
His recent activities however have changed this. Recent encroachments
into EH territories and minor skirmished with border patrols have convinced EH
Command that Darius was a threat that needed to be dealt with, swiftly. Imperial
Agents and Probe droids were dispatched to investigate his Fleet, and they made
a worrying discovery: The Goliath Fleet was far larger than had been previously
thought, with several large warships of different types, and dozens of fighter
squadrons and support vessels. Left to his own devices, the Warlord-Admiral
could soon prove a major threat to the stability of the Emperor's
Hammer.
The Fleet Commander, Grand Admiral Ronin, has ordered the entire
Aggressor Strike Force into action: We are to find Darius, and destroy him and
his fleet of warships!
Operation: Dark Hammer is a Project: Faithful based strategy Wargame for the ASF. PF originally conceived by Vice Admiral IQpierce (ret). Operation Dark Hammer maintained and run by Admiral Priyum, ASF Battlegroup Commander.
