User:114PA/Skirmish of the Verecilles Mountains

The Skirmish of the Verecilles Mountains was another invasion by the Jiralhanae Empire on the UGA-colony, Terra Domus.

Summary
On March 20th on the world of Terra Domus, a squad of marines on a training exercise in the Verecilles Mountains discovered activity in the nearby valleys, a Jiralhanae construction site. Excavation was also taking place and a multitude of Forerunner ruins were unearthed. After reporting the activity over a transmission, the marines monitored the aliens from a distance.

Unfortunately, Kig-yar rangers spotted them. The marines were forced to hold the hillside for 15 minutes before allied forces arrived. Ospreys bombarded the construction site reducing what little stood to rubble. Surviving JE forces took refuge inside of the large ruins but were quickly hunted down and killed. The marines managed to capture one Jackal in the process.
