Conquest of Zakuul
With the acception of the Order of the Outsider into their ranks, the Void Serpents now stand poised to take control of Zakuul. Though it is, in many ways, backwards, it presents a fine staging ground for the Void Serpents to begin their invasion of the rest of Wild Space and the Unknown Regions. Apophe KeYahm, Imperatrix of the Void Serpents, is personally leading the vanguard forces of the Serpents in order to ensure their victory. Should the Serpents win, they plan to loot the planet and enslave the populace while swelling their ranks with willing and suitable applicants.
Primal Scream
The first stages of the assault on Zakuul begin as the Void Serpents make planetfall and move to establish a basecamp. The location has been expertly picked to provide the the Serpents the best location to strike out at the rest of the planet from. However, there is one small problem - the location is presently inhabited by a local village, whose locals are less than amenable to the idea of giving up their homes so that otherworldly conquerors can stage operations there. The objective of the advance team is to take the village and ensure that the Serpents can claim this spot.

The Hammer
Now that the Void Serpents have a base camp, they are able to make their march to take their first city. Yet it won’t just be as easy as marching in. The natives of Zakuul have marshalled a proper force to meet the Serpents, hoping to give them the fight of their lives. It’s up to the officers to lead from the front and smash this resistance so that they can take the city and deal a deadly blow to the morale of the people of Zakuul, bringing them that much closer to capitulation.

Eye of the Storm
While the people of Zakuul are a mismatched group of settlers, smugglers and tradesmen, there's a group upon Zakuul who are more familiar. The Order of the Outsider. Having assimilated their creed into the Serpents, Eris speaks that their Order to have once been much larger, and old alliances are able to be called on. It makes no sense not to use them, and use them we have. Sending charismatic members into hostile communities to rally these ages connections, but several have been killed by an organized force... End them, or find a way to turn this to our advantage.

The people of Zakuul do not present a united front. There are those that stand to benefit from a change in status quo and have enough power behind them to help turn the tide of the Serpents' conquest entirely in their favour. However, these parties are not acting out of the goodness of their heart or respect for the Serpents' might, but because they think to stand to benefit from the change in power. They're not going to give over the men and power willingly, and that means that the negotiator will have to be crafty, using a mixture of intimidation and smooth-talking to ensure that things go to plan. With the native support, the Void Serpents can take Zakuul that much quicker.
