Campaign Name: First Encounters
Dates: 2025-03-01 - 2025-03-31
Description: As the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet began to enter First Order controlled territory they were met by a series of First Order patrols. These ships were protecting the Gasriese System which was home to a fuel depot around the massive gas giant, Zephyron.

Neither side expected to encounter the other, indeed to the First Order the Emperor’s Hammer is a rogue Imperial Remnant faction and in their initial communication attempted to order the Emperor’s Hammer to submit to its authority, something that the forces of the EH refused, setting the scene for Imperial Storm VII.

Over the course of a month the TIE Corps eliminated the First Order forces in the Gasriese System and captured its Fuel Depot at the edge of First Order territory.
