Captain Kelvin Ulrik leaned back in the passenger seat of the shuttle he was aboard as it descended through the air to one of the landing pads outside the new palace built by Corpsac which housed the Veredian government and the Corpsacian occupational forces headquarters. He had been called down by Regent Harold Florent and the Corpsacian occupational commander, an old veteran of the numerous Corpsac/Veredia conflicts, and a high ranking officer in the Dark Empire Space Corps. He also doubled as the commander of the Veredian Space Navy, or Veredian Imperial Space Corps as its name had been changed to.

Kelvin knew that this visit wasn't supposed to be for a friendly chat, or new orders. For the past six months Kelvin had been amassing the loyalty of ships' crews and captains, although all the fleet's command ships were commanded by Corpsac puppets, their crews were still loyal to Veredia. The task of converting the air force to Kelvin's secret cause of Veredian liberation had been given to a group of squadron commanders, who, by all reports, had done a fantastic job. As for the land forces, well, their loyalty required virtually no work on Kelvin's part, though the generals and colonels had been replaced by Corpsac puppets, most of the battalion commanders were already plotting an overthrow, and many of the old generals and colonels had gone into hiding, and were waiting to reclaim their old positions once their men got rid off the Corpsac puppets.

Everything had been in place, and then this call to come down to the planet. A certain private in the palace guard division had told Kelvin that he was to be arrested for treason upon landing by a full platoon of marines. Of course, the problem with that plan was that the platoon was a Veredian one, and their loyalty had been secured long ago. The palace guard division's loyalty was Kelvin's as well. All Kelvin had to do was wait.

The shuttle landed, and Kelvin stepped out, the platoon was waiting for him, and putt the handlocks on his wrists behind his back, although they weren't locked on, and Kelvin could throw them off at any moment. The sergeant nodded to Kelvin as they brought him to the palace entrace, where a company of Corpsacian marines stood guard. The platoon stepped inside, and walked through the lobby, down a corridor, and into the council room, where the heads of the government and the occupation waited for them.

The occupational commander had a smirk on his face as he stepped up to Kelvin, "You honestly thought you could get away with your little rebellion? We are already arresting your comrades, and soon the last vestiges of resistance to the empire will be gone, and Veredia will soon have the honour of becoming a full fledged member world of the Dark Empire".

Kelvin didn't say a word, he pulled his hands apart, the locks clattered to the floor, and Kelvin pulled out a pistol that had been tucked into the back of his pants, and fired it at point blank into the Corpsacian's forhead, which exploded in a shower of blood as the energy pulse ripped through the skin and bone, and dispersed amongst the insides of the admiral's head.

The Regent stared in disbelief, as the marine platoon raised their rifles and opened fire, systematically killing everyone in the room, even as mortar rounds could be heard smashing into the steps at the front of the palace, where the Corpsacian company was standing guard.

The mortar was joined by the roar of a full fledged battle as the palace guard division's commander was killed by his personal assistant, and the regimental commanders were beheaded by their battalion commanders and the division opened up on the Corpsacian regiment stationed at the palace. All across Veredia, and its colonies, the Veredian army's commanders were killed, as the old ones came out of hiding and took command, and overhwhelmed the Corpsacian occupational troops through sheer numbers.

*VSS Fury of the fallen*

Aboard the Glorious Heritage class dreadnought, Fleet Admiral Owen Lamar's knuckles were white as he gripped the armrests of his command chair as he heard the latest report. The Veredian fleet was in open revolt, every Corpsacian ship in Veredian space, civilian or military, was being torn to pieces. Even just hearing of the revolt by large numbers of warships had made civilian freighter and transport commanders attack Corpsacian transports. And by all reports, the fleet commanders were being murdered and those who supported the Veredian rebellion were taking charge. Lamar had ordered his personal guard to seal of the bridge of his ship, as he contemplated what to do. He was supposed to be in command of the first Veredian Naval division, 540 warships of the Veredian Imperial Space Corps, and yet, Corpsac had pulled off two regiments, or 216 ships, off of that number to secure the holdings Veredia had conquered since becoming the Dark Empire of Veredia. That, and two hundred and fifty of the warships Lamar still had were in revolt. Lamar's own ship was in revolt as well, the crew trying to cut through the door, while Lamar's guards were setting up a barricade.

Lamar heard an alarm go off on his console as he looked up at the main viewscreen, seeing a hundred and eight jump holes appear as a full naval regiment arrived, Lamar's dreadnought was on lock down, drifting through space alongside 27 Corpsacian warships, the rest of Lamar's ships were drifting as well, as the crews and commanders (and whoever was loyal to them) fought a bitter struggle for control of the ship. Lamar thought the end was coming, as he saw the emerging naval regiment, and then his computer registered the markings as one of the two regiments he had been forced to send off to defend the new holdings.

A glimmer of hope filled Lamar as he though the regiment was his, but it disappeared quickly as the regiment opened fire on the Corpsacian warships, tearing apart the outnumbered ships with ease, although five of the Veredian ships were destroyed.

Lamar looked down at his console as the door blew open, and his guards opened fire. The end was coming, but Lamar smiled as he thought to himself, he quickly entered his command codes into his console, and set the self destruct sequence with a 10 second countdown.

He stood up and looked at the barricade as his last guard fell. One of the shipboard marines raised his rifle and fired, the energy pulse tearing into Lamar's right shoulder, blowing off his arm. He collapsed onto the ground, about to lapse into unconciousness as he listened to the computer voice the last seconds of his ship's life, 3..2..1..

The VSS Fury of the Fallen exploded as the power systems went critical and exploded. The struggle aboard the other ships ended as the commanders were killed, and the crews took control.

Corlon 2

Grand Admiral Valkyrie was sitting in the command and control of the DESC HQ a well lit and bussy room, large with people running from one side to the other. Valkyrie was a tall man well built in his late 40s with a white beard and short gray hair. when news of the Veredian Upriseing came to him he didnt look happy.
"shit....how the hell did this happen?" he snaped
"sir this seemed to have been planed reports from plantary regiments say that alot of heavy fighting is happening...we have not lost complete control of all planets but the Veredian Imperial Space Corps is a different matter" a Rear Admiral replyed "so far we've lost 11 Combat ships and around 22 others"
"contact Rear Admiral Iris get the 3rd Battlegroup ready, have the 3rd High Fleet be on active duties" Valkyrie Ordered "so whats left of the 4th?"
the rear admiral informed him of all the latest news, the admiral was not looking happy. how the fu<k did this happen, how did the Stigmata and the Telapaths not know of this or even have any warning.
"sir Rear Admiral Iris is on Channal 184" a comm officer reported
"i will take it in my room" Valkyrie sead as he walk off to his office, as he sat down a Holo image of Iris pop up.
"admiral" she sead saluting
"Iris, you have been informed of the situation in the Vereida" Valkyrie sead
"yes i...." Valkyrie interupted her
"HOW THE HELL COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN" Valkyrie shouted "General Hixs has informed me that meny of the colonys under his control are putting up alot of resistance, what on earth made you think that allow CorpSac/Veredia war Vets incomand of Veredian Ground troops and the IVSC, if they find the Camps and tell the ESUS we're screwed" he had carmed down but still looked angery at her
"sir, i allowed them to be incommand as the populas looked up to them removeing them from the service could have done marjor harm to our relations. we still have meny Ground forces still under our control still loyal to the Dark empire, the party that was implace is trying to convice the populas that the Rebals are just disgrunted War vets trying to take power, but with the regent dead...its being hard" she sead "i will deal with this i just need the entire 2nd fleet to combat this, we built most of the current IVSC ships with our ocupation but....still they are still no match for our ships they never were" she didnt look to shore about this as some of the newer IVSC ships had Endor armor and ECM armor, this was the only real advantage the CorpSac space core had but now around 30 of there ships had this armor them ships were equal if not better then the DESC ships.
"i dont care how you do it stop this rebalion, and get ride of the camps and destroy any records of them" Valkyrie sead "im sending the rest of the 2nd fleet, this shit you got us in has made me get the 3rd fleet fully combat ready thats all" he saluted at her, she did the same then the image went.

Veredian outer colony

General Hix was in his bunker, across the planet a small band of rebals were attacking the 37th Marine divsion and the 2nd and 4th Mech Regiments.
"General, we got orders to close this camp we have to get ride of all evedance of it" a Major had ran in
"vary well do it fast" he sead standing up opening a fileing cabitent, and unlocking his safe, takeing out lots of files and giveing it to the Privates who ran in with boxs grabing all the files and running out with them. "kill the prisioners dont let a single one escape"
the camps were Death camps or "re-edecation" camps, used for politcal Persioners and others who had spoken out about the empire. on this one planet there was about 6 large camps and 100s of smaller camps, in total in the entire Veredian space was around 1400. this was the worst, rearly did anyone come back from Camp 541 or Hell as others named it. outside was the stnench of death. it was raining that day tho the camp looked lovely from the outside inside was a differnt matter. about 1/4 of the base did look like a normal prision so that when the media came thats what they were shown, the rest was dangerus most prisioners were allowed to beat, kill, rape etc other prisioners and even engureage to do so, reward sometimes with more rations drugs and smokes.
as the troops left leaving the prisioners locked in there cells meny cryed out, after about an hour of file burning and destroying the gaveyard, a group of Valkyrie fighters flew over droping large amounts of napalm on the site.

12 miles away a large city was under fire from the rebals as they were called, mechs romed the streets as gurilla attacks happened. martial law was implaced across the planet, the Defence stations around the planet were still in the control of the DEMC but the bases were under heavy guard. the city was quite but gun fire could be heared, the mechs moved round patroling, tanks set up blockaides in the city with troop surpport, this was happening to all Strongholds still loyal (by choice or force) were being fortifed.

Veredia
the marines at the place were cought off guard as the attack happened, the 2nd Marine Battalion that was there were vets of the CorpSacian/Veredian war. getting out and opening fire, the company at the front were hit hard. the battalion were setting up defenceive bases, down to 3 active companys it was going to be a hard battle as Veredian troops started to storm the place.
"shit shit shit....Sir over there" a marine shouted opening fire as the man next to him head exploded as a round went though it "ssshhhhhiitttt MEDIC"
a medic ran over looked over the gun and draged him away, the Lt of the Battalion was looking round, then grabed to Radio "this is Palace guard to Command, we are under heavy attack, we need an EVAC now i repeat we need EVAC now, air surpport needed at section alpha cords 125 532 across to 114 554" he shouted down the radio
"this is command, dropships on route and Valkyries on route for bombings" the radio blurted out.
Gun fire was heavy as 3 valkyries flew over droping 9 Nalpam bombs as the space infront of them went up in flames, roaring and curling. people out front were burning screaming as them fell to the ground. the marines were goin outside as dropships landed opening fire as they did, just as they did a bunch of Veredian troops opened fire throwing granades at them. each marine that went down another grab him and started to drag him to the dropship, Marines dont leave no one behind. at the front of the palace 3 dropships landed as the 3 Valkyrie fighters turned into Battoid mode opening fire at the troops out front as the dropships opened and let out a Company of troops opening fire. there goal was to get the dead marines and get them to safety.

Infernos Shipyards

Infernos was the 2nd shipyard built for the Veredia new IVSC, the DESC 3rd fleet was gathering there, thankfuly this base was completly control by DESC people as was due to be handed over in just 2 months to the IVSC.
"Rear Admiral the 4th battlegroup will be here in 2 hours" a Captain informed her "the defences are active and the base is on full aleart"
"good, i take it General hix is doing as he has been told?" she asked, her blond hair glisacaned in the light "i want all the camps destroyed and records"
"so far 37% of the camps are destroyed but as long as the Veredia Forces dont find out we should have more time" the captain replyed, he saluted and walked out. Iris looked out of a near by window, stairing out at the planet below and the bases around them, the Barren red planet below was recently colonised by Veredian people, found by the CorpSacian Exploration and only really colonised due to the Advanced CorpSac Biospheres and the recent Terraforming of the planet. but still even with this war she felt bad tho the ocupation was at first to help them it now seemed to turn into a slow genocide. why? why the hell cant we just leave, even if the empire has put billions into helping most of the Veredian people..why do they have to fight, why did we have to fight back...why not let them get it alone...sooner or later someone elce is goin to start fighting sooner or later the Veredian people will get sucked into a civil war as political partys start haveing there way she thought she sat there for the next hour and a half thinking as the jump gate opened and closed. the FTLi was in full action even if there veredians were stupid to attack the base, then would have to jump outside the system befor they could get to the base, even then it was stupid. although the other base was under there control it didnt matter, sooner or later the Dark Empire will take it back she thought and then, then the Veredian will see the full wrath of the Emperor and the DESC.

OOC: Veredia make this an Invite only then the Shivans wont be able to come and cock up a decent RP lol

The Second Naval Regiment of the newly reformed Veredian Space Navy hovered in orbit above the Valyria colony. The Corpsacian division on the ground had been putting up fierce resistance, although with a day having gone by since the beginning of the rebellion, much of the army's presence on Valyria had converted to Veredia's cause, and had laid siege to the corpsacians. However, the colonial militia remained neutral in the conflict, only engaging to protect civilians. The Second Naval Regiment had gathered to end the conflict on Valyria, and the gathered warships locked in the Corpsacians' coordinates into their targeting computers, and fired.

Hundreds of particle beams, directed fusion cannons, and pulse cannons opened up without relent or mercy as the area the enemy division had taken up position in was saturated with devastating amounts of energy, the hills and small mountains the Corpsacians' had fortified were flattened, the lower areas turned into craters as all life in the zone was wiped away by the bombardment of over a hundred ships. The guns finally fell silent, leaving a charred black area where the Corpsacian's had been entrenched, an area visible even from space, although it was little more than a black dot.

The naval regiment took up defensive positions as ground troops began to assert full control over the colony, the colonial militia quickly declaring for Veredia, as the Corpsac threat was removed.

*Veredia*

Captain, now acting Admiral, Kelvin Ulrik stood on the bridge of his ship, the VSS Avenging Fury, while a battalion of warships floated in with it. The other Veredian ships had gone off to secure the rest of the system as best they could, most of the Corpsacian ships having fled to regroup. All told, Kelvin had a good six hundred warships under his command, with the Veredian Imerial Space Corps having fielded 1080 warships, or two full naval divisions, at the onset of the rebellion. Many of the ships, primarily the border fleets, had simply maintained their defensive positions, or patrol routes, to as to ensure no foreign powers tried to take advantage. A rebellion had already sprung up on the recently seized planet Chrysamere, and Veredian troops were being pushed back by the native population their, which meant that Kelvin had to either divert ships and troops to maintain order, or abandon the colony.

He had ordered the colony to be abandoned, so the ships there, a battalion's worth, were coming to link up with Kelvin's personal fleet, who would in turn link up with two full naval regiments and go DESC hunting, seeking out and destroying the Corpsacian warships in Veredian space.

*Baffin Colony*

The Veredian army on Baffin colony had declared for Corpsac from the outset, thinking the rebellion was small and that the DESC would crush it with ease, that and few people even knew it would happen, the stigmata's presence on Baffin had been to high to risk it. However, as rebel forces took control of the fleet, Valyria, and Veredia, the planetary government saw a chance to gain some power in the new Veredian government, and Duke Cutser, placed in charge of Baffin by Corpsac, had switched sides. The army followed him, and now the Corpsacian troops found themselves severely outnumbered, somewhere in the area of ten Veredian army divisions screaming for their blood. The Corpsacians had seized control of the planet's grand cannons, and fortified themselves there, expecting to hold out until DESC ships could evac them.

Duke Cutser looked over the latest report, and saw that his troops were doing less then well against the Corpsacians. The Corpsacian marines were well fortified at the grand cannon, although Cutser had to blame himself for their excellent defences, as he had ordered them built when he first got placed in command of Baffin, although he had never thought he would be fighting Corpsacian troops using the defences. Of course, there was one thing he had that the Corpsacians didn't, and he pressed the little red button on the console he sat in front of.

One of the many silos on the planet opened up, and an immense Hydra-5 missile roared out it on a pillar of flame. The missile was intended for anti-orbital use, but it could just as easily be used against ground targets. The missile veered towards the grand cannon as several more silos opened and fired as well, the missile headed for the fortifications where the Corpsacians were entrenched and it smashed into the defences and exploded, setting off an immense explosion that wiped out countless Corpsacian marines, the other missiles following suit and saturating the area with fire.

Infernos Shipyard

"shit shit shit shit" Iris muttered "god dam it, they are sinking lower then us in this"
"we...[static].....VAC.....[more static]....NOW IRIS...[Massive explodetion and troops shouting]...IRIS GET OF YOUR ARSE AND GET MY MARINES OUT OF THIS" General Hix sead over the comm, his holo image look angery
"fine get your troops to hold out, any thing we cant get out fast destroy it" she ordered, she turned round and open a comm to the 4th battlegroup that had just got to Infernos. "Admiral Solaris your ordered to sweap the outer coloneys and pick up our troops i want fast and effective pull outs...remmber we leave NO ONE behind" she seemed to make this point extreamly clear "do you understand"
Solaris was a tall Vampire, one of the best Admirals out there he turned "i take it will be night ops as well?" he asked with a smooth tone
"on some parts of the planets yes.....make shore that no one is left behind" she replyed turning off the comm link.
a red light was flashing, she had a Code 1 message from Admiral Valkyrie, she sighed he was proberly going to have a go at her...she might even lose Rank over this. she opened the channal Valkyries head pop up on from the desk.
"Rear Admiral Iris, the Veredian Campagin is goine to cost us more then its worth, get our boys and girls and get out of there....destroyed the Infernos base and make shore they dont find them goddam camps" Valkyrie sead
"whos ordering this Sir?" she asked
"the orders come from the Emperor himself, he feels it will do more harm in combating the Veredians then just leave...it may also do more harm in the ESUS senate" he hated poltics, what did poltics know about war he always sead
"sir its goin to be hard, the Veredian homeworld from our reports a large fleet is gathering more then what we have intotal" she sead
"ive ordered them to surrender, hopefully after we pull out the Veredians new goverment will hand them over, if not then we will take them by force if needs be" he sead as he disapeared.
Iris sat there in disbelif, ordered to surrender....what was the Admiral thinking, she didnt like this the Hive on the planet could get out of control or even...Veredians could study them. she turned and open to the Whole fleet, simple orders skim the outskirts of the Veredian empire and slightly deeper so that the DESMC could be picked up. the outskirt colonies near the border of corpsac would be given the choise stay part of the DE or be interpedant, what really ment blockaides.

Baffin Colony

General hix was wounded, tho he didnt stop fighting the missiles had done alot of damage to the fortifations. he didnt like it the Veredians were fighting dirty and this pissed him off.
"contact the MAOG groups, tell them to open fire on ALL Orbital ships and Cities" hix ordered
"sir...did you say cities?" one of the marines asked, with a twisted smile on him face
"you heared me Corporal" hix replyed

out in montin areas, well hidden MAOG moved out, the grate thing about MAOGs is that they moved and were a bitch to attack. massive Plasma Bolters flew into Orbit attacking ships, ion beams also cut though the air and targeted other orbital vessals. others had directed there fire on near by cities and towns. massive Plasma bolts crashed down on the cities burning large chunks to the ground and leave massive crators.

in orbit 2 Ravanos Heavy Cruisers had just Exited hyperspace followed by a Nova Carrier and 5 Lifeless Corvettes. the Nova drop 12 Dropships as the Lifeless's targeted the Mecha Garrisons that belonged to the DEMC destroying the mecha inside. the same thing was happening across the outer colonies and some of the inner colonies of Veredian space, pulling out troops and attacking any Veredian warships some loses were taken but were small.

at one of the inner colonies a larger force entered the area due to its closeness to the Veredian homeworld, the force was the 4th Battlegroup. they were there to pick up a large Force of troops planet side. dropships fell towards the planet, thankfully the Marines still had control on the plantary defences but that would change when they got off world so it had to be a quick op. all the tanks had been destroyed as well as the mechs, fighters flew up to the ships, small dropships that were on the planet were takeing Space port personel off world. stigmata angents would stay behind most would start terror strikes on colonies, but that wouldnt start till after the EVAC.


To:Rear Admiral Iris
From:Admiral Solaris

the EVAC of most of the colonies is going smooth, little restance has been taken. the 4th is station at Colony Alpha Omega 1. we're expecting that the Veredian Fleet will notice us and think us as a good target. if they do decide to jump in we will be out numbered, i request that more ships to be sent just incase. RA Iris i hope to Angelon that we can get out of here alive, most of my ships have weapons targeted on major cities so if the Veredian fleet does attack we will open fire on the colony.

Acting Admiral Kelvin Ulrik looked out the bridge and at the gathered fleet of Veredian ships, a full naval regiment had joined them, brining his fleet's total to about 180 ships. Another naval regiment was on its way, but Kelvin didn't want to wait, one of Corpsac's fleets had been picked up at Dragonstone, or Alpha Omega 1 as Corpsac had designated it, and Ulrik was determined to take out the battlegroup. He transmitted orders to the other naval regiment to head there as well, and his own fleet set course for Dragonstone and entered hyperspace.

Emerging sometime later in close proximity to the enemy fleet, the fleet was leaving orbit, having evacuated all of its personnel in the time it took Ulrik's fleet to travel. The fleet of Veredian warships headed at full speed to the Corpsacian warships and opened fire, the Corpsacian warships doing the same. The Corpsacian ships coordinated their fire onto the smaller ships in the Veredian fleet, as a dozen corvettes and several frigates exploded, the Veredian was doing the same, but with greater numbers, Kelvin was hoping to inflict more damage, and destroy as many Corpsacian ships as he could before they retreated.

"ADMIRAL INCOMEING VEREDIAN SHIPS" the tac officer shouted, just as 4 lifeless covettes exploded around the Echo.
"return fire, god dam it fire 4 6 Gigaton Fussion torpedos, into the center fo there ships" Iris ordered "how long till the god dam transports are clear"
"2 minutes" the tac officer shouted.

the fleet turned opening fire with a volly of torpedos, the 6 gigaton torpedos exploded close to the Veredian ships some being torn apart and other larger ships takeing only minor damage. the rest of the torpdos slamed into ships. fighters swarmed and in between the the 2 fleets was a massive fighter dog fight. the pirate hunters and the Mk X had the advantage but were still out nummbered, Valkyrie fighters were moveing to the veredian fleet, opening fire with torpedos, some turning into Mecha mode and landing on the hull of the smaller ships, opening fire on the hull to make holes and droping fussion charges in.
the last transport had entered hyperspace, and only 42% of the fighters manage to get back, the battle was still rageing on. out numbered and out gunned Iris had to flee angenst all her better jugment she would have to run.
"Weapons....fire a HST torpedo at the planet...and between us and the Veredian fleet" Iris order, you would expect people to ask qustions when ordered to commit genocide of a planet, but corpsacians being corpsacians they never did understand the concept of good and evil.
"torpedos ready to fire mam" the weapons officer reported
"...FIRE" she ordered
as the 2 torpedos flew out, 250 Jump points opened behind the Veredian fleet Iris thought it was Veredian Reinforcements, but was mistaken the 3rd Fleet had just arrived, another 125 jump points opened behind the 4th battlegroup, it was the rest of the 2nd fleet. the total number of corpSacians ships was from 125 to over 900 vessals, all opening fire as they pop out hitting the Veredian fleet hard.

the HST torpedo target for the planet, flew down moveing faster and faster, the sky was blue and on the ground people were celebrateing the liberation from CorpSac rule. the with out warning the torpedo exploded on the surface, the tear opened and the center spot started to clapse apon iit self. at a range of 15Km chunks of Rock were being sucked towards 0 point, the near by city was being pulled apart as the Bioshpere was ripe off. the towers of the city crubbled and got draged towards the center of the tear. after a minute the area was decemated, nothing would have lived if it hadnt been for the fact the tear closed after 60 seconds, the planet would have clapsed apon it slef, the Crator was 15km wide and 90Km deep.
From space looking down on the planet it was as if a Gient red/blue spot had apeared and when it was gone, once were a lush green area from the sky was was now a deep Brown. the cloads were all messed up and the planets weather was starting to get aratic aroudn the area.

the one that detonated in space didnt do much, both fleets new better then to move in while a tear was there. but it gave Iris some time (60 seconds) to re group. now with the joint 2nd and 3rd fleet the veredians were going to have a fight and not a massicur now they were going to know what happened when you rebaled angenst the Dark Empire.

BUMP for veredia

OOC: Uh, Corp, don't you need ships to defend Corpsac, and I thought you were fighting the Shivans lol...anyways, could you give me some way to reach the ESUS?

The planet Dragonstone, one of the first colonies of Veredia, was being destroyed before Kelvin's very eyes. The hyperspace tear had torn through the thirty kilometres of crust, and even sucked up sixty klicks of mantle. Of course, it also physically ripped a hole thirty klicks in radius in the atmosphere, sucking in all the air and ozone, and leaving the mantle exposed to space. The exposed mantle froze instantly in the near absolute freezing temperatures, and with so much atmosphere sucked away into hyperspace, and more simply pouring out into space through the immense hole, the planet was starting to collapse, of course, it would take a couple of weeks, but the planet's climate would completely collapse, and all life would be destroyed.

But, Kelvin had more pressing issues, as in 900 Corpsacian warships that had just gathered and were regrouping, with the obvious intent of destroying Kelvin's fleet, which was devastated. A third of Kelvin's ships had been destroyed by the multi-gigaton fusion weapons.

Kelvin had to retreat, he had no choice, but, if so many of Corpsac's ships were out here, that would mean Corpsac itself was lightly defended. Kelvin quickly had his comms officer send a message to the naval regiment coming to join Kelvin's fleet, and to several other naval regiments that were on his side. By the time the messages were sent, Kelvin's fleet was already in full retreat, shunting power to their hyperdrives and jumping away as fast as they could. Several ships were destroyed before they escaped, and the vessels that had lost hyperspace capability went on a suicide run on the Corpsacian fleet, to little avail.

Kelvin let out a sigh of relief as he looked out across the relative safety of the blood red hyperspace. He looked over the comm messages he had just sent to the ships loyal to him, and went over the ships he sent, roughly 500 warships with enough bugs and zerg to infest and eventually overrun several Corpsacian colonies, or at least do some damage to them. Two hundred other ships were enroute to Veredia to join the ships already gathered there.

Kelvin didn't know if Veredia could win out in a full out war with Corpsac, but he did know that even if Corpsac won, it would cost them more than they could imagine, as both nations were relatively even with each other, although Corpsac was the larger, and wealthier nation, Veredia was close, and could put up a good fight.

In the end however, Kelvin decided that diplomacy was his best option. He started to compose his message to the Corpsacian government, they were reasonable enough, when it came to ensuring they weren't crushed, and they had enough problems of their own, a simple truce offer, a trade agreement, and a non-aggression pact to ensure it all went smoothly would surely be accepted.


To: Corpsacian Emperor
From: Acting regent Admiral Kelvin Ulrik
Subject: Veredian independence
Message:
Dear emperor, as we all know, your occupation and puppet rule of Veredia has ended. The noble houses, corporations, and military, have revolted, with the full support of the people. I have just survived a battle with a large fleet of your warships, and realize that a long, drawn-out war would cause more harm than good. As you surely realize as well, that combined with the fact that you are at war with the Shivans means that a war with us could very well open up Corpsac to attack, and that could very well lead to the destruction both our nations. Needless to say, this must be avoided. I propose a truce, a non-aggression pact between our nations to ensure that our fleets can be put to better use than trying to stir up old hatreds again. Also, to help ensure we can peacefully co-exist, I propose a trade agreement so that goods may freely flow between us, which will be beneficial to both our economies and help keep the peace.

OOC: lol i just noticed i put the wrong number down it should have sead 500 lol not like it matters

IC:

Corlon II

the emperor sat reading the message, he knew that the rain in Veredian had ended, and if the ESUS found out the DE risked being expeled and he didnt want that. he sighed nad looked up faceing Valkyrie, befor he spoke Valkyrie knew what he was going to say.
"well my dear friend, our troops are out and thats all that matters, tell Iris to return and but to send 1 ship to Veredia to destroy the hive there" Horrar sead
"yes my lord, its a shame....but at lest these few days have been hiden from the ESUS" Valkyrie replyed, he saluted and turned away walking off.


you have what you want
emperor Horrar Sith


Veredian

a single Tigerclaw destroyer exited hyperspace close to the planet, right away it fired off 2 6 gigaton fussion warheads at the hive on the planet. it tryed to run for it but was cut down befor it could enter hyperspace.

Dragonstone

the 2nd and the 3rd High fleets entered hyperspace right away, it was over they were to escort the transports back to corpsacian space. Iris looked down at the orders, she gritted her teeth. she knew this was going to put a mark on her near perfect record and she hated that.
"i will have my revenge" she wispered "just watch Admiral Kelvin Ulrik and Valkyrie" as she looked out the window seeing the ships enter hyperspace. hers was one of the last to do so, she looked down at the planet below "i promiss that what Veredia will look like befor i die" she wispered to herself.
