ISD 16130 - Battle of Cai Shen

With Cai Shen, famed for its Bashang Temple, destroyed by the Cielcin in ISD 16130, House Marlowe became the largest licensed supplier of uranium in the sector.

Since Cai Shen is not in the Veil of Marinus, the attack was evidence that the Cielcin were getting more aggressive in their targeting of Sollan worlds.

“I saw the attack footage myself; the Consortium broadcast the last news packets from Cai Shen along with their visit announcement via the wave. Your father had Alcuin and myself up all night reviewing with the logothetes. It was the Cielcin, no mistake.”

Sir Friedrich Oberlin, the junior logothete who had intervened with Breathnach moments before, cleared his throat. “Nemavand is crucial to the defense of the Centaurine border. Until Hermonassa, the Cielcin had not crossed the gulf in force for nearly four centuries, when they raided as far south as the Sagittarius.” He indicated a belt of systems far closer to Forum and the heart of the Empire. I remembered those raids. They had come when I was just a boy on Delos. One of those attacks had destroyed Cai Shen, a Consortium mining colony, and made my father far wealthier than he had already been. “Since then the bulk of their efforts have been concentrated in the Norman Expanse, we think because they have territory there.”

Hermonassa had not been the first core world attacked. There had been random raids carried out throughout the crusade. Cai Shen had been such a one, and I wonder now if that, too, had not been the work of Syriani Dorayaica. An early effort. Cai Shen had been a key uranium source for the Legions and Consortium alike. Had it been targeted? Had Dorayaica—or a Cielcin very like the Shiomu—found record of the planet in the navigational computer of some captured Imperial vessel?
