Aslan invasions of Domain of Deneb.

The Vargr are the Vikings.

This would be volkerwanderung.

Everything is its own thing; analogies are always inexact, but it is a way of explaining. If you want to draw a straight, explicit, line to Space Vikings, then of course it has to be Sword Worlders.

Danes.

There's an inherent instability in Vikings, as they tend to bite and hold when they do try a land grab.

Usually, they need to integrate with the conquered populace, in order to make it take.

 

[Sigtrygg]

The Sword Worlders are a bunch of anachronistic cos playing viking wanabees, the Vargr were raiding the Ziru Sirka properly.

Have gamed out the Vargr incursion into Corridor during the Rebellion era using T4/Imperial Squadrons+Pocket Empires (i.e. tweaked Fifth Frontier War boardgame rules with added crunch). It is a lot more doable than I imagine the Aslan incursions to be. Of course, the key point is that Imperial Corridor Fleet has departed for Core, so only local forces remain on the Imperial side.

I haven't gamed out the Aslan incursion. For starters, it is hard to know what sort of counter to give an Ihatei fleet.
