Action 2: Annexation of Zelkor
With the economy of the city devastated and the Zelkori population on the brink of riot, the 12th Legion, stationed on the Imperial/Zelkori border, crosses the frontier and quick-marches on the city. The Imperial agents in Zelkor are to open the city gates for the legion and kill certain military officers, while the Imperial Navy and Marines enter Zelkor's harbor in support. The objective is to seize the city with a minimum of bloodshed. If all goes well, the city government will be replaced by Imperial bureaucrats, who will be able to restore order. The army and the agents are charged with capturing the exiled Vizinian nobility and certain prominent Zelkori figures.
Determinant: Military Force, Size
Mods: + Zelkor's economy is collapsing

***
Result: +2 +4 + (-1 +1 +1 0)= +7 Legendary Success
Sugestion: Yow! The Cedonian military bloodlessly reoccupies the Imperial City. A large minority of the populace actually wlecomes the return of the Cedonians as opposed to the recent chaos. The remainder of the population remains quiet out of fear.
