Daily Campaign Log: Year of the Snake
Title: Day 5 — The Jungle Has Fangs
Date: January 5, 2026
Location: Sector 4 (The Emerald Canopy), Tygerian Isles Surface
By: Captain Hedges
The Ground War Begins
The "Constriction" has moved from the stars to the soil. After the aerial chaos of Sunday, the Ophidian drop-pods have slammed into the dense jungles surrounding the Tygerian Capital. They are trying to establish a beachhead to deploy their heavy siege engines.
But the Tygerian Isles are not passive terrain. They are alive.
At 06:00 hours, I authorized the deployment of the Green Tiger Battalions. These bio-engineered apex predators, ridden by Nomad Beast-Masters, are the perfect counter to the Ophidian advance. The snakes might thrive in the cold vacuum of space, but in the humid, dense heat of the jungle, the Tiger Force rules.
Tactical Report: Claws vs. Scales
The Ophidians have deployed "Python" Heavy Grapplers—massive, genetically bulked shock-troopers designed to crush opposition.
The Skirmish: Gideon Thorne’s "Aether-Lances" are seeing their first heavy combat here. The Nomad riders use the lances to pierce the Python armor while their Green Tigers tear through the Ophidian flank.
The Environment: The Ophidians are trying to terraform the jungle, spewing toxic mist to kill the foliage and create a "Dead Zone" for their troops.
Captain’s Status: My immunity to poison and acid is the tactical edge here. While the rest of the squad has to flank the toxic clouds, I can charge straight through them to reset the perimeter beacons. Even as I fight off this fever back in the Shreveport Cabin, on the field, I am leading the charge from the back of a ferocious Alpha Green Tiger named "Thunder-Paw."
