OOC: Invite only

The huge lumbering mass of the Wither faded into truespace with only a slight shimmer. One might expect a tiny probe to do the scouting, but not now. Time was of the essence. The 7km long ship activated its large amount of sensors and cruised towards the lonely planet.

Beep...beep...beep..beep..beep.beep.beep.beep

Satellites noted a large ship heading towards the 5,000 population colony of Tenant. Defending it was twelve Tantive gunships (150 meters; 4 quad laser cannons , 3 light turbolaser batteries) and 3 Squadrons of X-wings, not to mention planetary laser cannons and 6 antifighter satellites.

"This is Admiral Sevaris of the Wither Dreadship. We have small group of enemy forces within sensor range. Antimatter torpedos are prepped."
"Commence the baptism of flames, Admiral."

The slow moving Wither was not alone for long. The entire battlegroup entered truespace, a total of 4,800 Ghost Maker class heavy fighters. The small ships quickly outpaced the large command ship.
"This is Sevaris to legions 1-48. Fire at will."
All 4,800 of the fighters unleashed their massive neutron beams, showering Tenant with a green beams.
The wither itself launched 24 antimatter torpedoes at each of the gunship sized vessels.

"Damn!" Lieutenant Commander Walker cursed as the fighters arrived. "Evasive action! Take them to hell with us!"

One of the gunships blew up to the antimatter torpedos, while the other 11 and the 36 X-wings charged into the wall of enemy fighters, firing everything they had.

Tenant was showered with the beams, even as laser cannons lit the sky. Massive fires were started, but the brave firefighters fought them hard with the help of rain.

The enemy fighters were suprisingly agile, but there was not much that could save them against such overwhelming numbers.
3,000 of the fighters, entering range of the 11 remaining gunships, each activated their 4 Electron Flux Whips. The whips were designed for one purpose and one purpose alone; To cut apart shields and armor at close range.
The other fighters began dogfighting with the CoreWorld fighters.

14 fighters fell to enemy fire mainly because of the fact that there was nowhere to go.

The fighters went down one by one to the overwhelming numbers. The last fighter tried to make a run for it, but was gunned down by a thousand weapons. It is up to the defense satellites now...

The gunships fell too, but they lasted a bit longer than the last fighter. The whole battle lasted about 15-20 minutes, but it seriously felt like an eternity.

A probe droid watches the whole thing on the edge of the system, letting the Emperor know the fleet numbers and abilities of the enemy fighters and captial ships.

With the the enemies forces growing thinner, fighters began spreading out in a net over the world, intercepting any escape pods and escorting them to the Wither. A few thousand fighters targeted the remaining satellites, utilizing all their weapons at once.

Upon destruction of of the satellites and collection of civilians the planet will be cut apart.

The satellites winked out one by one, and the people huddled in fear for whatever would happen to them next.

From the spine of the wither hundreds of small ships began their descent towards the planet. They would find and enslave as many on the planet as possible. Resistance would be left alone and then glassed from orbit.

People tried to run, but the ships scooped them up in various ways. The children cried as they were torn from their parents, and huddled together in fear and despair. What's left of the people was very few, as they managed to escape into caves and deep forests.

Those remaining wondered how they were ever going to rebuild the colony...

"This is Admiral Sevaris to STAS HQ. We have the majority of civilians imprisoned on the Wither. Requesting permission to glass the remaining resistance."
"This is STAS... All green."

Each of the 4,800 fighters let loose their heavy neutron beams on the planet, along with antimatter torpedoes launched from the Wither. After 10 minutes of this, the large fleet exited truespace.

Tenant was left a dead ball, with massive fires destroying all the forests and trees, and all complex life forms dead. It will take years for terraforming droids to restore the planet, but many people would not want to come back, and so, Tenant was left alone forever...

Andila, CoreWorld space

It had taken merely 2 hours for the battlegroup to enter range of it's next target, Andila. Shadow Tech's entrance to the universal powers and deployment of its scouting groups recognized this planet in ST's short intergalactic history. This planet had been the site of one of the planets glassed by the renowned Shivans. Now, sensors showed the planet almost as new, like the attack had never happened. The wonder of terraforming had shown it's uses. This planet, however, had not seen the last of war. Andila would be stained with blood within hours.

The Wither and its 4,800 strong fighter escort entered truespace nearer to the planet then procedure would have normally allowed. Sensors immediately showed multiple CoreWorld capital ships, along with respectable escorts. It would be the perfect time for the arrival of those which are known among information circles as the "Untouchables."

Meanwhile, the POWs taken from Tenant were being treated exceptionally well for their circumstances. Normally prisoners would have been handed off to crude slaveing ships to be transported back to Prime but not in this situation. There was no time for such inconsequential affairs.

Twenty five fighters gleamed white instead of the normal black of the other 4,800 which surrounded them.

"Not again..." The commander of the Andila Defense Fleet moaned. "Launch all fighters! Fire at will!"

The four Star Destroyers, 5 Lancer strike cruisers and 10 gunships opened fire as the fighters attacked. Dozens of fighters (X-wings, A-Wings, E-wings) poured out of the ships and offplanet to meet the enemy. This time, they were ready for the numbers and began to use stutter-fire, a tactic used long ago against the Vong. This makes the laser cannons and turbolasers slightly weaker, but rapid-fire and better able to track the fighters, a good trade-off for numerically superior enemies. The fighters were still outnumbered, though.

Secret IC:
Juria
Emperor Masaki meditated. Hmm. The enemy will come here soon. They come in large fighter numbers...yes. I shall order all available antifighter defenses to come here. They will come to Juria, we will roll out the red carpet and they will leave as corpses.

The Emperor finished his mediation, smiled, and ordered his plan to be carried out. Juria is to look as empty as possible, with holographic technology cloaking the planetary defense satellites, and the antifighter fleet will trap them with an Interdictor cruiser once the signal is issued.

The Wither all to much recognized the lancer frigates as the main threat immediately, emptying hundreds of .50 antimatter warheads on them. The fighters began to engage enemy fighters, noticing the change in their weaopns. The 25 white fighters hung back for now, waiting for the battle to stabilize more before showing their power.

OOC: You there, with the anti-matter rockets! Are your ships constructed of matter? Positively charged matter? Cuz your rockets would be impossible to use. If you are mad eof anti-matter, then your rockets would be fine. But would be weak...

"Gaah!" The Lancers were damaged by the antimatter missiles, and 2 were destroyed. The Star Destroyers took up the slack, and interposed themselves between the planet and the fleet. One of the captains ordered his ship forward, through the fighter screen, as he aimed for the enemy flagship, long range turbolasers shooting at it. Planetary and orbitial defenses came online and started blasting away at any fighter that got too close. This would be a harder battle than at Tenant, that's for sure.

OOC: They're probably in magnetic bottles, you know.

Even so, a single gram of anit-matter has a 5 Kiloton explosive force.

A rocket made of anti-matter (i.e. couple 1000 pounds) would blow up half the friggin' galaxy.
