The Fall Of An Empire And The Begining Of An Infestation RP
PART 1

Data Entry:
Time: 12:12 A.M
Place: Research Station 13

Lately the Zerg have been restless. They have been multiplying and even massing in certian areas. Hive activity has also tripled in the last hour or so. Something is going on down thare but nothing serios, not like those things have the intelligence to do anything. END.

Data Entry:
Time: 2:36
Place: Research Station 13

Jesus Christ its only been two and a half damn hours and the hole planet is blenkted with the zerg. We should be thankfull its just a moon and not important to us. I realy hope those boys in the white coats can keep those things under controll, last thing we need is one of the Psi Fields to break and we could all be in some deep sh*t. END.

Data Entry:
Time: 3:36
Place: Research Station 13

One of the psi fields is down. The Zerg are pouring threw like water and are all seem to be directed towards our home Stromata. The Royal Space Fleet is on its way but I dont think they will make it in time. What the hell why are the alarms going off? Hey whats going......oh my god.......NO PLEASE!!!! TRANSMISSION CUT

"We recieved this not to long ago Sire. "It seems we have lost contact with just about every god damn space station we have, its only time before they are here we must prepare the forces and call for our allies before all is lost!". McSirus said while trying to controll himself. "Damn it how did this happen and what happend to the Royal Space Fleet that was sent out? I want answers damn it!" Emperor Jake barked but was then intrupted. *A soldier ran into the room with a message for the two* "Excuse me sirs but you must see this we just recieved this before our last sateliet whent down" The soldier said as he played the screen.

*They were all silent and filled with horror*
"My....my....my god....the hole planet is surrounded...." Emperor Jake whisperd. "Not just this Sir but look" The soldier said as he switched the screen image.

"They have landed Sir....they have all ready destroyed/infested 13 of our major Military bases....thares just to many....they were overwhelmed and butcherd in minutes. But thats not all Sir, we have also lost contact with several cities. Scouts report a massive swarm of Zergs moving towards the capitol....they are coming here Sir.." The soldier said with fear. "God damn send these images to all our allies and ask them for reinforcements A.S.A.P because otherwise......we are done for...." Emperor Jake said slowly tralling off into a whisper.

HNSC Spirit of the Revolution

Admiral Zaitsev's fleet had been tracking the Zerg for days. They had passed through Hattian space and had not responded to their hails. Standard operating procedure dictated that they follow and either make contact or destroy them. Zaitsev had been restless since they had started following the Zerg, he really needed a shave. The Zerg fleet was much larger than his, but his ships dwarfed anything that the Zerg had and Zaitsev inteneded to make use of that. 2 Hours ago they had picked up a distress call from Stromata. They had entered hyperspace and were nearing their target

15 minutes later

Zaitsev's fleet appeared very close behind the Zerg fleet that had surrounded the planet. Zaitsev stared dumbfounded at the radar. "Oh...." He shook his head and began to shout orders. "Battle formation, we will take out the capital ships while our fighters deal with the smaller ones." The weapons officer turned around, "Ion cannons charged sir, orders?" Zaitsev looked through the enemy ships, "The big one in front of us, concentrate all fire on it." The ships shook slightly as the Nemisis class battleship released all of its weapons. The ion cannon lanced through the enemy ship and cut it in half. The smaller Karl Marx and Alexandrov also began firing and releasing their fighters. Zaitsev picked up his radio, "Stromata, this is Admiral Zaitsev of the Union of Socialist Republics of Hattia, we picked up your distress call and responded. What is your status on the ground?"

The Emperor quickly ran to the communitcation screen and responded to the message while trying not to lose controll of himself. "God damn am I glad to another human voice out thare, we are pinnd down here realy bad, acording to our radrs and computers at least 45% of the damn planet has been coverd or infested by the Zerg. We are holding out but we are slowly being mowed down and thier numbers are endless, I dont think we can hold them off much longer as more and more zerg seem to be landing by the minute." Emperor jake stopped to catch his breath but whent on. "We are truely within your debt for comming to our aid but I dont believe thaes any way we can save the planet, If thier forces get any larger down here then they all ready are then Im afriad we are going to have to evacuate imediatly and "The empror was interupted by an incoming message. "Sir we need to get out of here we have just lost communication to several more bases and cities, we cant hold out any longer we have to evac now! We also have reports of a large force of them marching straight towards your position in the capitol, Sir you must evac the planet imidiatly or else...Oh god....NO THEY ARE HERE.....EVERY ONE GET THE" The message was cut off and the Emperor staired at the blank screen. "Send that message to the fleet up above and tell them we are evacuating the damn planet" The Emperor barked as every one scurried about.

Admiral Zaitsev listened to the message, "All ships, we are going to break through and get those people out of there!" He looked over at the weapons officer, "Vladimir, are the ion cannons charged yet?" the man looked at his console, "No, it will take another 3 minutes. The anti-ship nukes are ready though!" Zaitsev grinned, "Manuever port, 40 degrees, then fire the nukes at that battleship that has been attacking the Marx. Once we break through, send a message to the people on the ground that we will send dropships..."

HNSC Karl Marx

Captain Sergei Lenin stood in the center of the bridge. "Concentrate all fire on the fighters, we must keep them off of the Spirit. The ship rocked slightly, "What was that?" "It seems that we have breaches on levels 4-7." one of the officers replied. Lenin stomped his foot on the floor, "Computer, show me levels 4-7 around the breaches" 3 holograms popped up in front of Lenin, On all 3 of them it showed rather hideous creatures rushing out of the breaches. "Damn!" Lenin activated the intercom, "Alert, boarders on levels 4-7, all Marines to levels 4-7!"

HNSC Haton

Captain Shurygin stared at the damage reports, his small Lancer class frigate had taken serious damage from one of the Zerg capital ships, "All personnel, to the escape pods!" Shurygin and the bridge personnel ran down the hall and went into one of the escape pods, Shurygin, a former pilot sat in the front seat and activated the radio, "Stromata, this is Captain Shurygin, we have had to abandon ship, we need a place to land!"

Meanwhile else ware on Stromata,

"Sir these things are every ware we keep killing them but they keep comming!" A panicing marine shouted at his commander."Sun snap out of it and kep firing we mus'nt let them break threw, we must hold off as many as possible" General McSirus Shouted as he also continued to bark orders." "Get more men in those towers, you infintry to the walls, get the wounded inside and raid the dead of anything ammo. For godsakes medics take cover but help only those who are in serios conditions, try to conserve your ammo we dont have unlimited you know!" The men continued to fight like the dogs of war they were. "Sir Ultralisk comming in...but its not like the other ones, our bullets seem to have little effect on this thing!" A gunner shouts. "Calm down and shoot between the joints look for soft spots these damn things arnt invincible" McSirus roared but as he turned around it happend, a large "Flying Zerg or Mutalist" swept torn and tore the good general in two with its razor sharp projectile. The men continued to fight like rapid dogs but in the end none would leave to speak thier tales.

Back at the capitol,

"Sir word has recieved several more bases have fallen, our support in the space is getting attack and may not be able to help us. Also still all attempts to stop or halt the incoming Zerg forze that marches to our capitol has failed and worst of all....still no word from General McSirsu and his men." The man sat back down at his computer side and continued to work. "Damn it what in gods name is going on how can this of happend, we had those monsters locked up tightly, thares no way the could of broken out....WHY IS THARE SO MANY!" Emperor Jake roared hsi questions in hopes of answers. But before any one could speak the transmission screen turned on but It was no human to inform them of any news.....but instead...Zerg.

http://www.angelfire.com/wa3/nylcon/overmind.jpg

"You pathetic humans amuse me so much, running and scuring about trying to save what has all ready been lost. KNow this fragile ones, as of today this empire now belonds to the swarm. I the Overmind shall rulse this planet and any of you who may recieve my mercy to become infected. Good Emperor Jake I would like to thank you and your father for this, for had your father never created me you still may be living your worthless lives worshiping your materials and other useless things. I must say I do look forward to my swarm devouring you and your pathetic race." The creature or the OverMind finished speaking and the screen shut off. "Damn that alien son of a bitch! I want a copy of that transmission sent up to our space suport so they know whats going on, tell them if they do not act fast they may have to retreate....and let us die with honor..." The Emperor said as he trailed off into a whisper....

The anti-ship nuclear missile worked, they had finally broken through the blockade, Captain Zaitsev stood on the bridge, "Helmsman, bring us through that hole!" The Spirit and the Karl Marx sped through the hole they created. Zaitsev walked over to his map of the surface, "I want the dropships to go here, which is where the crew from the Alexandrov landed, and here, which is where our allie's last transmission came from.

The dropships blasted out of the hanger and flew off towards the planet...

HNSC Karl Marx

Captain Lenin had went with the marines to help fend off the boarders. As he sheltered behind a barricade, a little lightbulb appeared over his head (metaphorically, of course) he radioed the bridge, "Someone there, when we get out of the area, close off levels 4-7 and flush the atmosphere out!" he stood up, "Come on, we have to get out of here!"

On Stromata

The escape pods had landed near each other, and they were in deep shit. Captain Shurygin had gathered all of the crew that he found alive, about 65. They didn't know where they were, all they knew, was that they were coming. "HERE THEY COME!" the things rushed over the hill, and were met by a barrage of gunfire, "We have to hold out, they must have sent dropships, just hold on!" Shurygin hefted his rifle and began firing.

OOC: my god, i LOVED THAT GAME !!! I hated that damn Zerg Eye though, that was freeky.
Premier Valkaday reeled with horror as he saw the pictures.
'Zerg..' He murmured slowly.
'Da comrade Premier, they are infesting Stromatan planets.'
'I see. The Grand Peoples Fleet maybe small, but this infestation cannot be let go. Send the 1st Fleet and some regiments to assist Stromata.'
'Da comrade'

ComIntern Space
"This is "Power of the People, launching"
"This is Red Republic, launching"
"This is Patriotic, launching"
"This is central command, you are all cleared for launch to space"
The three "Murky" Class cruisers (OOC: Ill get stats later, ok ?) fired off their engines and flew into space.

On board "Patriotic", hull
The marines were touchy. They had never encountered Zerg before, and most thought their inferior weapons and armour would be ripped through like so much rice paper. Most of them were right. Of the eighteen thousand troops on board the three "Murky" class cruisers, none would survive.

Hundreds of cloaked scouts roamed the sector, avoiding overlords and anything else that could possibly detect them. Several sat and watched the invasion of Stromata from a distance, while the rest searched for the locations of the Overmind and its various cerebrates.

One such scout detected a planet with massive Zerg forces. Thousands of mutalisks, devourers, and of course, overlords, protected the space around that planet, preventing the scout from getting closer. So it initiated a long-range scan, and after a while, found what might possibly be a cerebrate.

A number of the Zerg in orbit of the planet began stirring, the long-range scan apparently tipping the sensitive overlords off to the presence of the cloaked scout. Several dozen Zerg began moving toward the general direction of the scout, which quickly turned and flew away before any overlords could pinpoint its location.

***

"Admiral," an officer greeted as he approached his superior and saluted.

"Major?" the admiral asked.

"A scout has reported detecting a possible cerebrate signature at these coordinates," the major handed the other man a PADD. "It had to retreat when it was nearly detected by a massive swarm, and could not get better readings."

The admiral nodded. "Divert more scouts to that region. Dismissed."

Saluting again, the major left to do as ordered.

Facing the rest of the bridge, the admiral said, "Have the fleet set course for the given coordinates. If we're lucky, we'll have a cerebrate to bring home."

Drop Ship Location

"Cover each other and get in the damn ships! Leave no one behind except the dead, MOVE MOVE MOVE!" One of the marine captains shouted orders while he emptied his rifle at the wave of zerg. The last of the men rushed aboard the dropships and quickly lifting off but sadly two dropshits were shot down although the remaing ones escaped.

Stromata Capitol

"What in gods name...." The emperor whisperd to himself as he moved towards his window that overlooked the capitol. Before him was a massive wave of the vile creatures known as Zerg. The swarm was stampeding towards the capitol and would reach it in a matter of 27 minutes. Time was short even though many zerg were destroyed it was only a matter of time before the hole damn planet would be consumed.

END OF PART 1

BEGGING OF PART 2: The Furry Of The Swarm

Time was running short for each side, every man wemon and child able to wield a gun was sent to the city walls to ingage the swarm on arrival. Every ware was empty not a house or shack was seen to not house a single person. Even the emperor was at the city wall with his people ready to fight and even die for his empire and people. "Brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, fathers and mother....today is our day...today shall be a day written down in history! Today you do not fight for me, not for yourselves, and not for our nation....BUT FOR HUMANITY! In excactly 23 minutes the zerg shall be upon us, when they arive

Crash site

The men were losing hope. They were being closed in on all sides. "Fix Bayonets!" was heard over the din of battle. The men backed up and formed a ring of steel.

Dropship Squadron Alpha

"Roger that, LZ is hot, charge up the guns!" The dropships approached the crash site...

Dropship Squadron Beta

"Hold on back there, this is gonna be rough!" the dropships, after picking up who they could had headed back to the ships, unfortunately they were going to have to fly through a bunch of fighters...

HSF-3 Squadron Omega (HSF-3=Hattian Space Fighter Model 3)

"Omega Squadron, this is Omega 1, dropships inbound. Protect at all costs!"

HNSC Spirit of the Revolution

"We've got their positions Admiral!" The Admiral looked out at the planet, "Begin the bombardment, we must keep the Zerg away from their capital."

The ship shuddered as the massive planetary bombardment cannons blasted the Zerg approaching the Stromata capital..

The meeting hall in the capital of the Dominion was its normal, dim self. Reports were coming in from the Third Armada about Zerg infestations and the now confirmed cerebrate sighting.

"They'll be dropping out of hyperspace in thirty minutes. Threat assessment, tactical deployment, and sublight travel should take another twenty minutes. If all goes well, the attack could begin within the hour," Admiral Varel said in her usual, even voice.

"This planet looks heavily defended," the Founder commented, glancing through the reports.

Varel nodded. "It is. However, the Third Armada is capable of breaking through the defenses and hold the Zerg reinforcements off while the infantry lands and incapacitate the cerebrate. Without the guidance of the cerebrate, the Zerg forces will become submissive and will be easily subdued."

"I assume there'll be losses?" asked the Founder.

Another nod. "Yes."

General Avrek interjected, "But the losses would be acceptable, sir. It's a small price to pay for the acquisition of a cerebrate."

The Founder glanced through more of the reports, and pointed at something that caught his eye. "What's this?" He tapped the key on his console that would bring that report up on the others' screens.

"Stromata is under attack, Founder," answered General Korell. "The Zerg are overwhelming them; they're not expected to survive - even with the aid of two foreign fleets."

A moment of silence passed as the Founder thought over this. Finally, he said with a decisive edge, "This isn't the time to begin a frontal war with the Zerg. The cerebrate will be left alone. For now." He looked squarely into the eyes of his military advisors, stifling the objections that were bound to arise. "The Third Armada is closer to Stromata anyway. Have them alter course and give aid to the retreating forces."

"Will all due respect, sir," said General Avrek, "what could we possibly gain by helping them?"

"Maybe not much now," the Founder said. "But it is only proper to give a helping hand. And...we'll just have to make sure Stromata never forgets what we did for them."

A fleet of black ships burst out of hyperspace travel and instantly disappeared as they engaged their cloaking devices. The hidden fleet moved toward the invaded world at sublight speeds as multiple scans were made to determine without doubt the enemy strengths and weaknesses. The forces in orbit of this Stromata planet was certainly not as large as that protecting the cerebrate's world, but it was large nonetheless. The hole in the Zerg forces that the Hattian fleet made was quickly being closed as new mutalisks, devourers, and scourges swept in, cutting off the Hattian fleet's escape route.

Admiral Lothen stood at the bridge of his flagship of the Third Armada, watching the approach. "Prepare a message. Tell Stromata and the others we're here to help." A brief pause, then, "Send in the d'veraz's."

Dozens of relatively small ships decloaked and launched hundreds of long-range torpedoes at the mass of Zerg units. While not having the payload of the larger, closer-range torpedoes, these ones were still strong enough to blast apart the carapaces and fleshy interiors of the swarm, softening them up before the Third Armada actually engaged their biological foes.

A trio of LRR ships hyperspace in not far above the blockaded planet. A destroyer and a pair of torpedo boats drop out of hyperspace, bloated to strange dimensions with the extra layers of armor bolted onto their hulls. They had been tracking the Zerg for days, picking off any ships that fell behind. They were some of the only LRR combat ships that could be spared from the anti-dozle operations to hunt the zerg.

"Ah-ha! We've found them at last! And there's the Rhinaran fleet!"
"Get some torpedos locked onto the closest Zerg ships. We're gonna try and get through the blockade and join up with the Hattian ships on the surface."
"Ok....torpedos locked! Boats report that they are also locked and loaded!"
"Launch the corvettes!"
"Corvettes launching!"
"FIRE!!!!"

A swarm of torpedos heads towards the Zerg fleet. Hiding among the torpedos are four LRR corvettes, loaded with a total of 100 naval infantrymen. As the torpedos distract the ships, the corvettes slip into cloak and sneak through the blockade.

The orbital bombardment eraticated a good portion of the incoming zerg but what was left was still a massive swarm that the Stromats did not stand a chance against. The swarm charged towards them, thier shreeks filled the air fallowed by the thunderess sound of thier stamped. Every Stromat ready thier selves and only waited on the Emperors command. Jake eyed the battlefield and knew they would mostlikely not live to see the sun rise again. "On my mark hit them with everything you can!....ONE......TWO....THREE.....FIRE FIRE FIRE!" The Emperor yelled as open fired into the large swarm. Ever man wemon and child emptied clip after clip of ammo into the swarm, the bodies were piling but the zerg contine to rush forward like a river.

Fifteen Minutes into the battle,

Every one was scatterd, the wave of zerg had breached the wall and were pouring into the city. Many climb to the roof tops ware they continued to rain down streams of bullets and rockets into the zerg. Others were seen running in terror and hiding while the rest were slaughterd behind them. Among all the chaose the Emperor was no ware to be found.

Back in space at the blockade with the two foriegn star fleets.

The battle up above was looking grim, as they fought threw the zerg blockade they found themselves to only be greeted by more. Hope was dieing and it was only a matter of time before every one would be consumed. The dropships were on thier way back to thier mother ships but with how things looked they would fall prey to the zerg blockade. But not all was lost, as things were getting intense the blokcade was suddleny smashed apart. The zerg blockade was being scatterd and destroyed.

http://ew2.lysator.liu.se/zone/g/o/gomes/fleet2.jpg

It was Stromatas Royal Fleet which was reported missing 17 hours before the zerg attacked. All 13 battleships, 6 gunboats 5 cruisers and all 6241 fighters intact and battleing the zerg nemis. A message was sent to the foriegn star fleet leaders. "Greetings brotheren glad to see another human face out here, I am Admiral Zukove and we were ambushed a few days ago by the zerg, we have only noy just recieved news of this tragedy. Please you must act quickly we shall ocupy the zerg for as long as we can but you MUST get our people out of thare. God spead with you friends and I wish you the best of luck Admiral Zukove out" The message ended and the Stromata fleet continued to blast the zerg fighters and keep them away form the dropships.

Once the rest of the fleet had closed in enough, they too decloaked and the d'veraz-class vessels dropped back. Hundreds of black fighters appeared out of carriers and zoomed forward inbetween the huge lances of disruptor blasts coming from the larger Rhinaran ships.

Cloaking was pointless when the entire area was filled with overlords, capable of sensing through nearly all cloaking devices, and so every ship channeled the extra power to shields and weaponry.

The first squadron of fighters met the first wave of mutalisks. Laser met carapace, burning through the tough exterior. In return, the mutalisks shot out glave wurms, the acidic parasites ramming into the fighters' shields and rebounding off to wreck more havoc elsewhere. Energy beams shredded the leathery membrane of the mutalisk wings, but the creatures kept moving through the airless void as their locomotion through space did not require the wings. As the shielding on some of the fighters began wearing down, the glave wurms got through and splatted against the vessel itself, boring through the metal and transparent aluminum with its acid excretions.

Then came the scourges. The tiny creatures rammed into any non-Zerg ship they could, producing explosive yields big enough to take out the shielding on the fighters. Then a second scourge would come along, do a kamikaze dive for a shieldless fighter, and the entire thing would erupt into a ball of fire.

As well as the pilots could maneuver the fighters, there was simply too many Zerg to completely escape harm. That was the Zerg tactic, after all. Strength through numbers. And they still had the devourers and guardians to deal with...

29-01-2004, 06:13

While the fighters kept the new opening clear, half of the fleet moved in to reach the planet. Disruptors blazed, incinerating anything that got in their path. Once past the blockade, they immediately began atmospheric descent, but the Zerg flyers gave chase. Several of the smaller classes of ships as well as a number of the fighters doubled back to re-engage the Zerg trailing after the fleet. Big, purple globs of acid spewed from the hulking devourers, but their slow rate of attack gave the fighters ample time to blast them to pieces.

While aerial resistance existed within the atmosphere, it was nothing like the blockade in orbit. The half of the fleet that went in saw that the landed masses beneath them were covered in some kind of organic sludge. Spore colonies, sticking up from the ground like spires shot green spores at the Rhinaran ships and hydralisks blasted needles out of their backs, but the Rhinarans were still out of range of both Zerg attacks.

Orbital bombardments were decimating the horde of zerglings rushing toward the capital of Stromata, but more of the hopping beasts kept coming. Black transports dropped out of the larger Rhinaran vessels and flew down to the dying city. Any mutalisks that attempted to impede the transports were quickly torn to pieces by the fighter escorts. Soon enough, the transports hovered low over rooftops to pick up any Stromat survivors.

Part 2: END
Part 3: The Betrayer and A Fight For Survival.

The survivors were quickly swept up and flown off with the dropships and with one last look back every one could watch as the planet of Stromata was flooded with Zerg. The planet was lost and any attempt to take it back now would be suicide. Meanwhile back inspace the Royal Stromata Star Fleet was battling the zerg and holding them off at bay. While the survivors were transported to the Stromata Fleet a message had been sent to the Admirals.

http://www.angelfire.com/wa3/nylcon/overmind.jpg

"Haha you pathetic humans,. your effort to stop us has failed and with it the infestation of this planet is all ready underway. Take one last look at this once great Empire of yours and know that soon the rest of your kind will bow down before the swarm. Had you surrenderd peacefully we would of spared your worthless lives and infested you with the rest. May this be a day marked in history for all as the begging of the end of the human race and the rise of the Zerg" The Overminds message ended and the shut off.

Something was wrong. The Zerg stopped attacking and in minutes were gone, they had all retreated down to thier new home of Stromata. After several minutes of confuesed silence another message was sent but this time from Admiral Zukove to the other two Admirals and thier fleets. No picture could be seen on the screen but static but the audio was loud and clear. "This...this is Admiral....Zukove...under attack...breaches in several....levels...several survivors....infested....a trap....butcherd...many of us still fighting...losing power...."The voice of Admiral Zukove disapeared and a new voice. "Hahaha fools since the begging I have been working for the OverMind, he would contact me in my sleep. So finaly one day I went to him and let him make me one of his kind. Since then we have been plotting, plotting to overthrow you all. This race, the Zerg are more powerfull then fragile humans and you have witness the proof. Now all thats left of our great plan is to kill off every living Stromata survivor so that no one may ever speak of this dead. Interfeare and you shall be slaughterd with the rest of you. But before you go I will gladly acknowledge you as of why we will spare you and simply its because....haha who will believe you? Unless you can find a survivor from the incodent you will be cast aside and called mad! Haha so I take my leave now of you for I have much work to do" The message ended and every one knew who the voice was. It was the former Emperor Jake Cacoolix, now only known as The Betrayer to his race and people. No matter what the attempts no contact could be made with the Stromata Fleet. It was only a matter of time before the ships fell to the swarm....

The entire ship rocked as multiple kamikazes rammed into the outer shields. The ship had already taken a beating and its shields were getting ready to collapse. "Damn, what is our current shield strength?" a man spun around in his seat "39%, we can't take much more." Zaitsev grimaced. "Take all power out of the engines and take life support down to a minimum, divert it into the shields and guns!" The lights flickered and went off. Zaitsev peered at the radar, hundreds of dots were closing in, "Well, it seems like we are done for... What the hell? They are running away!" Cheers went up throughout the ship, "I don't like this, what is going on?" Zaitsev activated the intercom, "Everyone, get some rest before they come back!"

Admiral Lothen stood, hands clasped behind his back, as the message came in over the comm. When the voice died away, he took in a deep breath of air and shook his head. "Despicable. Betraying one's own people over to these monstrosities." In his authoritative voice, "Make backups of the recording. Make sure the dropships' interior recordings are saved as well."

"Sir, incoming message from the LRRSV Columbia," someone said.

The admiral listened to the LRR question, then opened comms on tightbeam to the Columbia and the Spirit. "This is Admiral Lothen of the Rhinaran Third Armada. Target and destroy the Stromat fleet except for their fighters. The larger vessels may be lost to the Zerg, but no infected personnel could have gotten onto the fighters. If the fighters retaliate, you are free to destroy them. Quickly now, before the infected personnel can take control of the capital ships."

He nodded at the comms officer to indicate the end of the hail before giving his next orders, "Have the d'veraz's stay under cloak and flank the Stromata fleet, then wait. Tell the rest of the fleet to engage on my mark. Open general hailing frequencies to the Stromat fighter ships and inquire about their allegiance."

If anyone was still alive on the larger Stromat ships, then this would be an errand of mercy for them. Better for them to die quickly in the explosion than slowly by the Zerg.

Admiral Zaitsev listened to the recording. "Manuever the ship 30 degrees port, charge up the ion cannon..."

Open Frequency Message

All Stromat fighters, your capital ships have been infected by the Zerg, do not land in them, you are advised to land in the Leningrad.

On The small Planet of Kelawan the Cho Ja Hives scremed in outrage.
The Cho Ja had a small fleet in the area of Stromata and when the ships had been attacked by the Zerg the Queen of the Fleet had sent the Images back to the Kelawan Queens sendig outrage thorghout the Hive mind. The Cho Ja where complicated even for the Saura who inhabited the underground with them. The Humans witch they sheared the planet with had Long ago united to form the Empire of Lessr Tsurani. They only went underground to ask for help in solders. Exsept for that lovely woman Lessa And the man who all on Kelawan belived destioned for great things. Even the North men or Druchii as they where called.
They all agreed that he was going to do something they just didn't know what.

OOC don't worry he isn't going to defet the Zerg. I have something else planed for him.

The Hogsweatian ships warped into Stromatan space, but not quick enough. To Admiral Zervay's assumption, Stromata had been evacuated, and Rhinaran, Hattian, Stromatan, and LLR ships were fighting off the Zerg.
"Ensign, open up a comm channel with the Stromatan Capital ship."
Seconds later a flickering screen came down, and Admiral Zervay waited for the Stromatan response...

Stromatan Space

The Patriotic and Power Of The People turned their bulky mass to bear as a Zerg fleet group bore down on them.
Commodore Biksav saw the incoming Guardians, and noted them to his Ensign.
"Ensign, arm Archer missile pods A through D."
"Armed, SIR!"
"Fire at will"
Round the front of Patriotic, four archer missiles pods, each armed with eight 'Archer' Class missile bays, swivvelled to face the oncoming Zerg.
The twelve Guardians were in range, whereas the Patriotic was not. They unleashed their payloads, moving ever closer.
"Fire!" As the word came, the archers locked on and fired. They blew apart many of the oncoming Guardians, but some still persevered. The crab like entities banked upwards, flying over the Patriotic.
"Ensign, forget the Archers, activate point defense for the upper hull."
The autocannons popped up, just in time to catch the Guardians. The heavymachineguns chattered, the 30MM rounds splintering the shells of the Guardians. However, there was still many more Zerg to come...

"Admiral Ziatsev this is Squadron leader six we hear you lowd and clear. Ok boys The emperor has gone wacked spread into formation and hit them hard do not ingage the other fleets or any of our fighters unless fired upon. We must take down those ships at all cost, remember boys as horrible as it seems we are giving our people mercy and fraggin the zerg. All right boys break and attack" The squadrons were in formation and ingaging the enemy. The battle was fierce and long but after several loses on all the sides the grand Stromata Royal Space Fleet was smashed to bits and all non-infected surviors docked with the other fleets to recieve a heros and survivors welcome.

Several dropships docked with the fleets and the survivors were imediatly tested for any infections wich came as negative. One marine stepped forward and moved his visor up "Howy boys the names Montana, General Gui Montana and as of right not im the highest ranking civilian and militia of Stromata. Hell dont worry Im not one to be barkin orders considerin you saved our asses but hot damn is it good to be some ware safe for once. Well hell me and my boys will unload and we will make sure the civilians all get some ware to rest the marines and I dont mind guard duty....hehe as long as thares no more zerg to blast." The general shook hands with a couple of the men, one of the marines peered out a window into space only to scream in horror.

The planet of Stromata had turned into a dead volcanic wasteland with hours after the infestation but something else terrified the men. "Jesus Christ! Thats Reaserch Station 13, they were the first to fall to the zerg when the field fell. quick some one send word to the boys piloting this thing that we gota blow that to bits before they can send a swarm more of zerg after us!" General Montana orderd.

As several messengers went to tell the message, the station became active and the zerg began to empty out and like a swarm of locus they were on a one way course to attack the fleets.

F'lar was speechless. Not since the Great Tyranid war witch was before man was even having a animal to ride or eat had a race been Dared attack a Cho Ja hive. These Zerg where reckless to say the least as they had directly opposed the Cho Ja. The destroyers of the Tyrranid inffestation. They had reduced in number greatly since then But the abilaty to hae info sent from one side of the galexy to the other at the time it is happening was a great abilyaty. This was going to be a longe war.

While Patriotic and Red Republic where busy, Power of the People had changed its course.
"What the hell is that ensign!"
Admiral Huryan chewed on his pipe.
"It appears to be some kind of research centre.. infected definetly sir."
"I see. Put the power from the engines into the MAC cannon, double power to the shields. Turn us on a course to face that thing.
As the ensign completed those orders, the Admiral remembered that his onboard AI was missing.
"Ensign Survaya"
The ensign turned from his post to the admiral.
"Take control of point Defense"
"But sir, navigation.."
"We wont neeed that for a while."
The gunnery ensign spoke again.
"MAC cannons on 99%.. ready to fire."
"fire"

The blue beam, powerful enough to rip through a whole ship, in several shots, fired directly at Research Station 13.

Admiral Lothen watched the explosion of the last infected Stromat ship on the viewscreen and swiveled on a heel to face the rest of his bridge. "Casualty report."

The reports came in, and the Stromat fighters began heading toward the currently allied fleets.

"Direct those fighters to dock in the Hattian ships, since the Hattians so gracefully offered such services. Make sure none of them land in a Dominion vessel." To another of his officers, "Retrieve our fighters and have the fleet prepare for departure. Stromata is lost; there is little else we can do here."

"Sir, another fleet has appeared, and they're engaging the Zerg."

Lothen frowned, then looked at the sensor readouts of the Hogsweat fleet. "If they wish to fight a worthless cause, then let them. Without a larger fleet, the Zerg cannot be completely eradicated from this world."

"Zerg swarm approaching from the infested orbital station," another crewman stated. "One of the new arrivals is attacking the station."

"Open general hailing frequencies," the admiral ordered. "This is Admiral Lothen. Our combined forces are inadequate for purging Stromata of the Zerg infestation. Any attempt to do so right now would result in massive losses on our forces, whereas the Zerg would simply regrow to their current strength within days, if not hours. I suggest a retreat for the time being, and perhaps return later with a larger force to completely eradicate the Zerg. Lothen out."

With that, the Rhinaran fleet cloaked and departed.

Part 3 end.
Final Part: ESCAPE!

As one fleet battled the zerg and the infested station the others retreated. But as the retreate began all the radars were filled with bleeping dots/zerg. The entire blockade that was once surrounding Stromata had returned and it had trippled. The swarm was on its way towards the fleets and only ine thing on thier mind. Destruction.

Hattia

Admiral Zaitsev watched as hundreds, if not thousands of dots appeared on the radar screen, "D*mn!" he opened up a comm channel with Space Command over Earth...

Message

Space Command, this is Admiral Zaitsev of Fleet 5 over Stromata. We have taken heavy damage and need reiforcements.

Space Command: Roger that Admiral, Fleets 2, 3, and 4 are on their way!

The sensor display began showing new arrivals. Numerous, countless, massive amounts of new arrivals. Warning alarms went off on the bridge.

"Report," Admiral Lothen ordered.

"Detecting massive Zerg swarm on the approach," replied a crewman. "Much larger than that of the one blockading the planet earlier."

"Our fleet can easily outrun them and enter hyperspace," suggested the XO.

The admiral nodded his agreement. "Stay on course," he said. "And send all collected data back to Command."

"Sir," a comms officer spoke up. "The Hattian fleet has sent a distress signal requesting for backup."

"Fools," the XO commented. "They're staying to fight."

"Perhaps their engines are too damaged for them to retreat before the swarm overwhelms them," Lothen said. "Hail the Hattian command vessel. Tell them that we will distract the Zerg should they choose to attempt escape. If, however, they intend to stay and fight, then they will be on their own."
