After facing a long and drawn out siege of the Minex System, the Surakari have changed their tactics for crippling this fortified system. The neighboring Micena system provides many of the raw materials for the Minex's industrial base and it is ripe for the taking. Capturing or destroying the mining facilities here will effectively render the factories of Minex Five useless.

An all out offensive has been launched and several new classes of Surakari warships have joined in the assault. Standing in the way of the alien invaders is Captain Ela-t-ski and he brings the Heragul Anti-Aircraft Frigates and Sabre Heavy Bombers to the front line.

The Admiral Rules Pack requires Legends of Kalidasia: Rise of the Surakari for game play and expands on the base set with new warships, new weapons, a new scenario, and enhanced destruction rules. Experience the true violent nature of the Kalidasia Universe with this expansion.

Since the earliest days of the Heragul Empire, the Exterion Fleets have explored beyond the boundaries of known space. It was the Exterion Fleets which first encountered the Krylan, the Thaylex, and likely the Surakari. However, an encounter with a Krylan speaking alien race calling themselves 'The Colayth Guard' will prove to be the greatest diplomatic challenge to the Empire yet.

Legends of Kalidasia: The Exterion Fleets introduces the third combatant race into the Kalidasia universe. The Colayth Guard carry some of the heaviest firepower of the Kalidasia warships, but lack the advanced active armor system. For the first time ever, command a fighter carrier as the flagship of your fleet. Unleash new warships, new weapons, and unique special abilities as you defend your territory against Heragul aggression.

With this product, Kalidasia Media Productions LLC is branching out into selling terrain for tabletop space combat games. The first such product is the standard star field map. Available in two sizes - 6 feet by 4 feet and 3 feet by 3 feet, this felt gaming map is covered with a hand painted star field. Its size is perfect for use with Legends of Kalidasia Rise of the Surakari.

Being hand painted, the star pattern on purchased maps will be different from the pattern shown in the images on this page and the exact size may vary by about an inch in either direction. Only the felt map is included. Figures and asteroids are shown for scale and are not included.

Since I had received several comments about people having difficulties reading the weapon charts on the warship stat cards, I have produced a large and easy to read chart. This chart can be downloaded here.

On a related note, the Fleet Packs have updated cards which make the sensor and reactor system easier to read. All future print runs of the Kalidasia product line will be updated to use the Fleet Pack style of cards.

As the Surakari descend on the planet of Silex Four, Sargentic Abbi-Sian, her squad, and a Krylan named Zyrecon must find a way to survive against the overwhelming invaders.

As the first commercial short story set in the Legends of Kalidasia Universe, Silex Road presents a view of the battlefield that the tabletop game does not: Ground Combat. Explore the weapons and tactics of both of the Surakari and Heragul, get a first look at the cryptic Krylan, and discover that every planet holds secrets.

Legends of Kalidasia is available on The Amazon Kindle and The Barnes and Noble Nook.

Here is a short sample from the story: "From behind the Heragul line, a reassuring rumble to the Heragul muffled the plasma fire and screams. Before the Hunter fighters even raced into view, Gatling gun reports reverberated through the canyon. Hundreds of glowing orange shells streaked towards the remaining Surakari drop ship. The drop ship's hover evolved to a drunken swagger as armor chunks ripped from the hull. Flames scorched silver plating to a charred black. Explosions tore apart the internals of the engine. Shards of razor sharp metal cut into the ground, spitting dust and dirt into the sky. With its nose pointed to the sky, the back of the drop ship fought against the rocky hard ground. Crumpling metal scraped into the desert propping up the nose of the craft until gravity won out, smashing the cockpit into the dirt. The Heragul Hunters then strafed the Surakari infantry, fracturing boulders and digging crevices."

With Surakari forces overwhelming the Heragul defenders, Abbi-Sian and her squad must find a way to survive until friendly reinforcements arrive. However, an internal power struggle brews over the role of the Krylan named Zyrecon and this conflict threatens to destroy them all.

The short story is the second book in the Battle for Silex series. It continues the story started in Silex Road and is about three times the length. Find this story of the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes and Noble Nook for $0.99.
