Invasion of the Isle of Man

In the year 12258HE, flying Invictus Illuminati ships arrived from Ireland and loudspeakers urged people to drop weapons or be assumed combatative and killed.

Raider mechwarriors on two legs -- manned types and also un-manned types -- were dropped to supervise proceedings and enforced co-operation. Captain George surveyed the scene in person, wearing a purple leather cloak and a military hat.

People were given a matter of hours to decide whether to stay or go. Those who left had to grab what they could carry, and were herded 1000-per-ship, and in a few hours were ferried to the mainland where they were dumped to start life new.
