After their defeat at the hands of the Shasvatii rear guard, the PanOceanian forces of the 57th Regiment returned to Orbit aboard their ship, data lost.
We have received new orders from High Command, a bridge hand spoke out. After securing control of the Cameliard Guard Post, Yu Jing forces are making their way into the Reliquary. A squadron belonging to the Azure Dragons appears to be leading the charge.
The Azure Dragons. Berithh had heard of them before. A Yu Jing regiment that operated primarily in Mountainous regions.
We'll deploy our Military Orders assets, bring the Seraph online, it will lead the charge into the Reliquary. Berithh ordered.
Winning the roll off, the Yu Jing forces opt to deploy second, and secure the (relative to the angle the picture is taken) right side of the board. The PanOceanian force opts to take first turn.
The Seraph advances up the side of the board, where it is engaged upon by a hidden deployment Hundun. The Hundun's Rocket kills the Seraph's Auxbot, but the Seraph is unscathed from the blast.
In retaliation, the Teutonic Missile launcher opens fire at the Hundun, killing it in the blast.
The Seraph advances further, where it barely remains outside of the range of a deployed repeater. Opening fire, the Seraph is able to render the enemy Beasthunter unconcious. Short on orders, the Seraph ceases it's advance, and returns to safety.
In the other pool of orders, the EVO bot gives Assisted Fire to the Total Reaciton Bot, and the Raveneye moves towards the AC2, deploying an addition mine and taking up a position of suppressing fire.
The turn begins with the Monk haris, lead by Laing Kai, beginning their advance up the right flank. Without MSV, the monks are able to advance up the PanOceanian forces unhindered. Through several orders, they are able to reach the location of the Fireteam Core of Knights and Crosiers. The link descends upon the Knight of Santiago. In the scuffle, Laing Kai kills the Knight with his B3 EXP CCW, but before she dies, the Knight of Santiago kills a monk. While this is happening, the Teutonic Knight armed with a missile switches to his side arm, and is able to shoot and kill an approaching Shaloin monk, leaving Kai Lang alone in the PanOceanian deployment zone.
On the other side of the field, a Camo marker moves forward, revealing itself as a Guilang. The Guilang throws down a repeater within range of the Seraph, which allows the Zhanshi hackers to isolate and spotlight the Seraph.
With the final orders of the Yu Jing turn, the Fireteam core advances forward. The paramedic in the link revives the Beasthunter.
With the first orders of the turn, the PanOceanian Total Reaction bot repositions and opens fire Laing Kai. Suffering one damage from the barrage of HMG fire, Kai Laing enters the NWI state, and guts moves back out of line of sight of the Total Reaction Bot. The Teutonic missile launcher finishes the job, killing Laing Kai.
Further up the board on the same side, the Trinitarian reveals itself, and opens fire at the enemy repeater, destroying it. This allows the Machinist's Palbot to advance and fix the Seraph's isolation & spotlit states.
The Seraph moves forwad, killing the Guilang, before returning to a safer vantage point.
The link team begins to advance, but enters range of a repeater that had been forgotten about. The link leader, the Missile Launcher, becomes isolated, breaking the link.
With his final orders, the Teutonic LT performs a strategic withdraw.
The Zhanshi fireteam advances up the right flank, first destroying the PanOceanian Total Reaction Bot, before continuing on and opening fire on the remnants of the Teutonic / Crosier core. After some time, the PanOceanian team is eliminated by the Shang Ji.
Turning it's sights, the Shang Ji is able to open fire on the Seraph, which is eventually put down after several rounds of combat.
The Teutonic LT charges forward, and enters close combat with the Shang Ji. Failing his attack roll, the Teutonic falls to the oncoming shots.
On the far side of the board, the Trinitarian moves forwards in the camo state, before arriving at the AC2. Revealing himself, the Trinitarian is assailed by the templates of a Shock Mine, the Beast Hunter, and a Guilang, while slapping a D-Charge on the AC2. The AC2 unfortunately passes all of it's saves, while the Trinitarian goes down to the Shock Mine.
The Zhanshi link team advances down the right hand flank of the board. The Shang Ji leads the charge, eliminating both the Curator & Raveneye officer, before charging forward and triggering 2x E/M mines.
Chief Jeong arrives to the AC2, and places D charges on it, removing 2 wounds from the AC2.
The game is then called, with Yu Jing achieving victory!
A large portion of the 57th Regiment had been crushed by the Azure Dragons, with only REMs remaining on the battle field, their remote pilots abandoning them.
From Orbit, Berithh watched the battle unfolding on the ground beneath them. Prepare additional forces, we'll reinforce those that are fighting with Yu Jing forces on the ground.
Sir, we've just received word, there appear to be Combined Army moving in on the territory...
We'll, as much as I don't want to see the Reliquary fall to Yu Jing, we must do something about these Aliens moving in...

Amazing report, well detailed, even better to see the State Empire emerge victorious!
