The Konstantinov is dispatched to help quell the uprising in the province of Nokgorka, and Skymarshall Urik Antares is ordered to send ground troops into the city of Bahamut over his objections. The skymarshall's concerns prove well-founded, as the Nokgorkan resistance does heavy damage to the invading krawl units.
