* The patrionius began to charge up the planet imolator cannon - blue arcs of plasma appearing in its maw as it targetted the warp gate as the star sized capital ship began to charge up.
Surrounding the capital ships the royal guard escourts - 100meter long interceptors - began to engage to arriving eldar - orange streeks of plasmabeing fire at once from all 13 hitting a target individually before the guard cluster targeted a new ship. 500,000 swarm ships where released into the oncomming eldar fighters activing as suicide attackers they slammed into oncomming fighters covering them with bioacid and plasma as they died. At the back of the hive fleet 14 nodes swarmed out towards planets within grond systems each guarded by 13 royal guard ships. The huge capital ships moved away as their plasma cannons charged up - green, orange, yellow, purple and blue arcs of lightning could be seen as the great planet sized ships charged up their weapons to fire at the newcommers. At the reare of the fleet 4 mon sized Norn queens and a planet sized hive queen turned to greet the newcommers to the fight - 1million swarm ships raced out to great them as 65 royal guard each engaged the large ships in groups of 13 firing their orange plasma into the ships.
Huge capital ships began moving through gronde space with plasma cannons fully charged preparing to attack anything that got in their way.

comms from Royal guard @ Eldar:
We are the hive, we are perfection. Return to your homeworld this does not concern you!

The royal guard streeked through the eldar ships lasors flickering off their armour the refractive carapacing protecting them. A Stray projectile shard from an exploding fighter cought the tale ship tearing it in half.

cooms from Hive @ CorpSac and TFU ally's:<wetware> (ooc: wetware is hive comunication technology - to hack it you have to be organically strapped into part of the hive - thus making you hive - it cannot be hacked - ie-secret ic ;) )
We are the hive we are perfection. The invasion has begun - prepared to well jump as planned - co-ordinates will be supplied - join the protean invasion fleet and infest gronde's systems for the good of the hive.

The nodes moved towards heavily populated planets and began to broadcaste heavy signal beacons for the hive.

The swarm ships released from the large carriers moved to intercept the incomming missiles erroding them with bioacids or slamming themselfs into the missles to prevent them reaching their targets.

lossses:

Minor damage to 4 norn queens
minor damage to 2 hive queens
royal guard destroyed 4
Swarm ships destroyed 5,487
Hive Queen infected with poison 1 - current status - symbiotic shutdown and regenertation - moving away from conflict to regenerate by forced well jumping to the centre of the invasion fleet.

ooc> Gaaah, there you go with the cannot be hacked stuff. lol :P Anyways, keep in mind that if The Ulthwe Craftworld are eldar then theyhave been around as long as you and have phycic powers as strong as yours. Meaning, they may have a way to listen in. Im not sure, he/she never shares his/her tech with me. lol Some alliance member.

To: Corpsac Leadership
From: Master Kalgar
The fight between you and my nation is over. Please respect our ceasefire, let the greed of the Hive destroy them.
[/code:1:096fc487a5]

The 1st Space Marine chapter, to keep pressure on the Hive forces attacking the Gateway, sent their main fleet through the gate behind the Eldar forces. At the home sytem, the missiles neared their targets. Several hive ships moved in to intercept them. Luckily, Kalgar had considered this. A Wing of Deathsting fighters decloaked right behind the missiles and fired their anti-matter missiles to keep the missiles safe.

Meanwhile from the astroid fields, a corp of Firestorm Space mechs arrived in the fight and fired into the hive fleet with their 2 twin autocannons, 12 missile pods, and 4 gatling photon cannons each.

ooc> I have to leave now, I don't have enough time to determine my casulties. i will do it when I get back. I got a TG from Ulthwe, he is haveing some problem with his internet so prolly wontbe able to handle the forum server. Im not sure what XNaggaroth is going to do. (I never do) lol

OOC: Lol, no, I have the best grammar here :D

IC:

Prime Minister Tasini had just received a report stating that his son's armada had engaged the combined Vered/Mayne fleet. He was waiting for Captain McCauley to return with the next report when one of his aides came up to him with a report concerning Gronde and the AoN.

The Hive had attacked Gronde's home system with the intent of infesting it. The Prime Minister leaned back in his chair and looked to the aide, who was waiting for a response.

"Tell Gronde we wish them luck, and redeploy some more ships to the Gronde border. Order all production facitlies to step up production if at all possible, and order the engineering teams at Valyria to hurry up with the shipyards. However, inform Gronde that we regretably can not assist them. I have no wish to get involved with the Hive" the Prime Minister ordered as he went back to waiting for the next report concerning his son.

ooc- Veredia: It would be a good idea to help us. You have a good ammount of capital investement in Antiga III that would be lost if we lose the war. (which we wont :wink: )

ic- The fire cast fleet and the air caste fleet attacked from two sides against the Hive fleet. The carriers launched 2 corps of space mechs. The rest of Air Caste the fleet launched a barrage of anti-matter torpedos at the hive queen. The Fire Caste fleet swooped in on the hive ships from the other side, firing pulse lasers and partical cannons at the hive fleet.

The hive flet was so vast that it was more than capable of fighting on more than one front. The hive split into 200million strong mini fleets and began to target their respective attackors.
The hive queen that was dying received its killing blow from the antimatter missiles it was tournappart as it died. Its royal guard no longer had a target to protect and went into a frenzied overkill at their failure to protect their queen. The royal guard well jumped behind the attacking Aircaste fleet and began to systimatically rake the large ships with orange plasma.

ooc> Imodius, just keep in mind that it is very difficult to well jump within the system. You can do it, and it would be a little easier than the long range jump, but I would assume that XNaggaroth would be able to react before geting covered in plasma. :lol:
Damn, I should have one more ally comming. Grrrr, where is he.

ic> The remaining missiles had reached their destination. They split into 5 groups of 25 and each group hit either a hive queen or a norn queen. However, in their quest to protect the missiles, the entire fighter wing had been destroyed. The 1st Space Marine Chapter fleet continued to push out of the gateway behind the eldar.

Meanwhile, on the last side of the hive fleet that was not being attacked, a lone battlecruiser decloaked. It immediatly flew headlong into the hive fleet and detonated its huge stock of anti-matter explosives.

ooc> Losses:
1 Titan Battle Barge
2 Empire Class Battlecuisers
19 Corvettes
12 Frigates
432 Tac Fighters
45 Firestorm Mechs

ooc: Gronde, I got your TG. Sorry I'm late; I was away for a few days. :?
Don't worry, I know the plan.

ic: On the other side of Gronde's main system, the area still untouched by the fighting, was a secret gateway that had just been completed. The Fenrisiax Space Marine Navy and the Royal Navy arrived through it and immediatly set out to engage the Hive fleet.

Uppon arriving at the battle, the fleets immediatly opened fire with a barrage of torpedos filled with poisan that Gronde have given them. The carriers launched a huge payload of drone fighters that began to swarm parts of the hive fleet.(ooc> Small parts. Imagine that, the hive is getting swarmed. Lol)

Elsewhere in the system, huge contruction crews were putting up new defences to complement what the Forgeworld was already producing.

ooc: Total ships:
8 Titan Class Battle Barges
10 Empire Class Battleships
10 Leviathin Class Dreadnaughts
12 Behemoth Class Carriers
14 Empire Class Battlecuisers
16 Hero Class Battlecruisers
22 Hunter Destroyers
24 Vengeance class Cruises
24 Nova Class Super Frigates
28 Missile Frigates
28 Torpedo Firgates
46 Paranna Class Corvettes
60 Cobra Class Patrol Ships
4920 Drone Fighters

As the ship detonated the larger hive ships well jumped but the for the smaller ships it was tolate and they where oblitorated by the antimatter blast. The hive patronius had charged its planetimolator cannon to full power and launched a surge of deep blue plasma into the warp gate - the ball of plasma was well over the size of a planet as the star sized ship rotated in orbit arund the warp gate - the huge surge of heat vaporised all the the swarm fighters and the royal guard that had been engaging the ships exiting the warp gate.

The missled impacted into various diffent hive ships and the poison was spread over their outer surface of the hive and norn queens. Immediatly they jetioned their complimet of swarm fighters.

1million from hive queen
500,000 from each of the norn queens
total - 2.5 million fighters.

losses:
547,872 swarm ships
15 royal guard
1 hive queen
1 norn queen
1 hive queen poisoned and severly damaged
3 norn queen 's poisoned and severly damaged

9 royal guard escourt of hive node - hive node scared. The hive node expaned providing a target for well jumping.
2.5 million hive infestors had arrived at the edge of the TI sheilding - they moved accros the sheilding and they well jumped into the system arriving at the node - 100,000 spored errupted from the lead ship and began to power through the atmosphere that was gronde's home world.

ooc> The intensity of the patronius's cannon is similar to that of a small star. It has been charging up over 2 posts and you had more than enough time to stop the thing. The fact that it killed all of my ships that where engaged with your would imply that it is one of the most powerful weapons in my arsenal and does indeed have the ability to oblitorate a planet and its surrounding moons.

ah ha, the patrinous's mass prevents its own well jumping, large masses prevent FTL. thereby it stops itself Well jumping.

ooc> don't suppose it has occured to you that an organic creature the size of a star shouldn't exist and so ttherefore why should somthing that by human physics comply to the normal laws of physics? thus i am ignoring your comment - this is an rp not a science lesson.

ooc> Well, I like it when science says its possible. Just because something is too large to be covered in human science doesn't meen that it can break every other rule as well. That is the biggest bull shit excuse I have ever read. And you keep well jumping within my system. Its even harder to well jump while in my network than it is to welljump into the system from the outside. You would get stuck for a minute or two before you could get anywhere. meaning, your ships wouldn't have gotten out in time to escape the anti-matter explosion. Ill just assume that they somehow flew out of the way. Anyways, the most important point I need to make is this: You can't welljump within my sytem any easier than you could while outside of my system. In fact, you would need twice as much energy because you would have to break the network twice. Not that it matters, the perimeter of my disruption network is surrounded by defencive platforms. So you wouldn't have been able to get those 2.5 million infestors anywhere near my home planet. I'm not ignoring you, but I am not going to respond to your post until you make them possible and reasonable. :| :|

ok - so let me get this right the network exists internally of your system not just on the perimiter ? - fine - as your power source is your sun its time to economise your system.

ic> An altered ship coverd in mechanical outcrops well jumped into the system it was surrounded by a protection fleet over 20million strong - as it his the network the fleet stops and the outer waves where sporadically blown away by the defensive turrets - suddenly it broke through and enerd the system arriving near the systems star - it opened up firing a nova bomb into the star while preping a second.

ooc> novabombs and zealot hive queen; care of the torontonian alliance.

ooc> Its not a solid block of energy, its more of a web, if you would. And you would still get stuck in the "web" as long as the network is online. Meaning I still have a minute or two. BTW, I can detect you while you are trying to get through.

ic> The secret weapon, the last resort and one of the last chances for the system to survive, was ready. kalgar was waiting until he knew he was going to be overpowered by the hive. When he detected another huge cluster of hive ships trying to get through the network. He innitiated the final system wide defcon level. What happened next took less than 30 seconds.

1.) The disruption network was deactivated.
2.) All Alliance of Naggaroth Ships and defencive unit in the sytem teleported away from the system
3.) Over 6 million mines were warped in from the warp intermingled with the Hive Ships.
4.) All mines exploded with a huge anti-matter explosion

Afterwards, as soon as the smoke/steam/goo/etc.. cleared, all units were teleported back to their former location.

oooh, painful, but well executed, i applaud you.

ooc> radius of each mine please and btw - that wont stop the nova bomb,

ic> The nova bomd plunged into the star hitting the core and causing it to go critical. The star exploded just as Grone's fleet reappeared in the system.
GHuge hive ships began to well jump as the network went down attempting to get out of the system as the nova bomb was launced - as they did so the mines exploded ripping huge chunks out of the fleet.
The Patronius did not waver its huge plasma ripped into the warp gate tearing it appart as the huge ship was ripped into by the moines - then the supoernova wave hit the patronius destroying it before washing over and oblitorating the warp gate and anything surrounding it.

ooc> dont ignore and action or it will become so.

losses: (assuming radius of mine explosion is 1 mile)
65% of hive fleet.

350,000,000 ships remain

losses from super nova
20%

280,000,000 hive ships remain.

total losses - critical
Hive reaction - pulling out of system

The hive fleet well jumped into their own safe systems before entering cool down

eta on reperations 5NS years till full capacity at present rate.
Solution:
Final solution.

wetware comms @ TFU and CorpSac
We are the hive. The hive requires human subject to rebuild - please begin cloning of human subjects the hive will pay for your work with raw uncut diamonds to be used at your whim.
We are the hive, we are perfection

wetware comms @ Torontonias:
We are the hive, We require immediate supply of neulclear matterials.

ooc> I can detect any ships trying to get into the system as soon as they hit the network. I would have had a minute before the new ships even got into the system completely. And they wouldn't be able shoot the nova bomb until they were completely through. Assuming it took Kalgar 30 seconds to respond (he actually responded faster than that seeing as how the button is right on his desk) and the whole process took less than 30 seconds, the mines would have gone off JUST as the new ships arrived. Keep in mind that it normally takes 3-4 minutes to get through, so I accounted for the fact that the new ship was able to break through faster. Meaning you really wouldn't be able to shoot off the nova bomb. Not to worry, Ill go with it--sort of. I have a way to explain it and its results in my ic post. :D
BTW, you shouldn't have said when the star exploded when you don't even know what kind of star it is. (It's a blue super giant. Look it up if you don't know. It is as large a red super giant but as dense as a blue star, very dense.)

ic> The plan was extreamly effective. It caused massive damage to the hive fleet. Unfortunately, the new arrival was not killed in time to prevent their launching of the Nova Bomb. The launch was detected, Kalgar knew what would happen if it hit, but there was nothing he could do. Suddenly, a lone Shining Spear Fighter emerged from the warp. It was Xon, the best fighter pilot in the empire. His upgraded fighter sped towards the nova bomb at an amazing speed. He quickly fired off a round of Anti-matter torpedos at the bomb. The hit just in time, destroying the bomb. Unfortunatly, the bomb was so close to the star that the back lash from the bomb combined with the anti-matter quickly destablized the the highly dense blue star. The star developed a huge solar flare which covered nearly 20% of the star. (ooc> similar damage effect as what you posted, except the star isn't completely dead) The AoN fleet that was within the damamge radius was warped out again nearly as soon as they arrived with the help of the mass teleporters, which were now completely burnt out. The star itself would take years to stablize totaly, but was still alive. The AoN fleet warped in again after about an hour once their power cores had recovered.

Meanwhile, the Antiga III forces were patrolling the sytem as contruction crews finished up the defences with the help of large ammounts of supplies pouring in from their allies. The Hive didn't and never would have any claim to this system.

200million spores enterd the system moving at sublight speeds. The small bacterium had no problem entering the system as they where totally undetectable and would be picked up as space dust. With the explosuion of the star there was so much dust that it would be impossible to tell the difference without serious lab experimentation.

The spores moved through the web undetected before scattering out and slowly moving across gronde's system.

The hive had activated synaptic restructuring.
Of the 200 million hive ships that where unaffected by the war - 50million where norn queens. These immediatly began reproducing off spring using nuclear waste supply dumps. The hive also collected 250million tons of nuclear materials from sources paying dearly for the materials. The fleet would be back at full capacity in 1 ns week.

ooc> My creatures feed off radioactive material. Yea it cost me 1billion USD and a whole shyte load of resurch to get that much material but i also had stockpiles of nuclear waste from my ally's and from people who can not dispose of it for themselves.

ooc> Um, rebuilding that many ships would cost a whole hell of a lot more than 1 billion USD. If I followed your economic RPing, then I would have over a billion ships right now. It would cost much more than 1 billion USD.
Second, my star didn't explode, it had one very, very large solor flare. Besides that, my scanners would have no problem telling the difference between inorganic space dust and living spores. We have good scanners. Not to mention anythuing trying to get through while surrounded by altered space would fried by the network if it were that small. If they tried to get in through the outside of my sytem normally, they would be shot to peices by the outer defences. You should never assume that you stuff if unstoppable, indestructable, and now in this case, undetectable. To be frank, its getting very annoying.

ooc: Sorry, my comp has been offline for a few days. Gronde, I got your TG.
And Imodius, you didn't think I would let you get away that easily, did you?

ic: After escapting the massive solor flare by going into the Webway, the Eldar forces locked on to the phycic signal of the hive fleet. As soon as the Hive discontinued their well jump, the Great Farseer activated a mass teleportation of 2 million anti-matter mines via the Warp. They arrived right on top of the bulk of the hive fleet, exploding as soon as they arrived. Within 10 seconds after, the eldar fleet emerged from the Webway next to the hive fleet. They immediatly opened fire on the hive ships with their anti-matter weapons. Their arrival was soon followed by no less than the entire Ulthwe craftworld. The planet sized ship launched its entire fleet of 200 cruisers and destroyers and fired on the largest hive ship in the fleet with its planet killer heavy anti-matter cannon.

The ships fired on the eldar - space time stopped and all that could be seen from the eldar ships was brilliant white light as the plasma rolled through them.

ooc> And does this Hive "Collective" have a nation(s) that controlls it? If so, then tell them to RP their own forces or else they can't be used. If not, then they don't exist. If there is, then they had better have a combined pop of over1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,

For the last F*** time, just because you have hive in your name does not make you immune to the rules of RPing. Do you honestly want me to to play the way you do? Hence forth, I am ignoring you completely. For all RPs. Until I decide to stop.

ooc> the fact that you repelled nearl 1 billion invaders dosnt strike u as godmodding? yea - great.

ooc> Dude, the fact that you HAD over 1 billion invaders(which is more than your pop) doesn't strike you as godmodding? I repeled them by being creative. It was a perfectly lagitamate and reasonably strategy. What you are doing is godmodding. In other words *IGNORE* I am also ennacting a region wide ignore of your nation as well. The vote will be taking place presently.

wait a minuite, this has been bugging me for a while (pun intended), hive ships are larger than norn queens, and i am going to reaserch the larger "ships".

no, norn queens are larger, but as large as 'nids get. they have a dozen norn queens per hive fleet, loads of hive ships, lots of cruiser sized, LOADS of drone ships. norn queens are around 20 km in diameter, not even close to the size of a moon.

ooc> I AM not PURE TYRANID base. I am a mix of Zerg, Nids and evolution. I have bigger ships as a result of radiation feeding and pure evolution. I have had ships the size of a moon since my creation. People keep hiting me with nukes so my ships mutates and evolve. As for food sources i eat radioative materials.

sorry about spelling - bit drunk will edidt tomorrow is i can be arsed.

then how can you claim to be a hive fleet?
