 Up to this point in the Starfist series there have been no portrayals of space Naval battles, but this omission is now rectified.The Marines and Confederation Navy drive the Skinks off world and push them back to the planet "Quagmire" where they used its natives as slaves and used the planet as a staging area to invade Kingdom.The 26th and 34th Fist Marines then go to Quagmire and Kill most of the Skinks there, with the help of the Natives.
