The Battle
The ISC had entered orbit first in Taloraan, which alerted the United Rebellion forces to mobilize their meager space navy while the Calistans began organizing the ground defense under General James Denuram.

The space battle was a one sided massacre once the Orion Empire and ISC brought in Monarch-class battleships to the scene. As billions of transports took to the skies of Taloraan, the ISC dropped in their new weapon, battle walkers. Better known to the rebels as walking weapons platforms, they were armed with a phaser that was moved across to destroy rank and file formations as they marched into battle. The battle walker also carried twin pulse phaser miniguns to shred aircraft. Meanwhile, almost trillions of soldiers landed on the planet to engage the hard placed defenses by the rebels, which included several captured battleship guns that were re-fitted onto some buildings as well as artillery placemens and a garrison of 20 Billion Calistan and Rebel soldiers. These soldiers fought bravely against the nearly invincible front of Orion Empire and ISC soldiers and armor.

The garrison began fighting around the key city of Harntum, holding onto various positions for weeks against the unceasing waves of ISC warriors, who couldn't get a good grip on the well placed positions until armored units arrived to reinforce them. The Calistans fared badly around Yanramta, unable to keep their own garrison for long, falling back as they were surrounded, General Denuram being injured by a piece of shrapnel flying into his leg.

The battle itself ended in a fourteen-second defeat on the Calistan side, as after days of planetary warfare, the ISC decided to detonate the nearby Neutron Star of Taloraa, and destroyed the entire starsystem in the first fourteen seconds the bomb went off.
