The most holy Inquisition has begun rounding up people suspected of using Force like abilites and turning from the path of the Imperium and worship of the Eternal Emperor, any who were found were executed publicly by means of beheading, shooting or burning. Roughly about 3,000 people were executed, adults were executed and childrent were sent to holding areas to await transportation, those who are old enough are going to be sent to Imperial Guard training camps or conscript platoons, others were taken by Adeptus Astartes, Fleet Nobility, Legio Titanacus, or Adeptus Mechcanicus units to be trained or reprogrammed to follow the Emperor. Any interference from other nations will not be tolerated and will be met with swift and deadly retribution.

A news broadcast from the Imperium

Today a small group of prisoners managed to overwhelm the few guards that were watching over them and stole a ship, they fled for the border with their families aboard the ship trying to get to Coreworlds territory, the ship was attacked and destroyed by a Imperial Naval crusier patrolling the borders, there were no survivors.

Another imperial, I like those!

Today a total of 700 people were publicly burned and declared heretics. The total body count so far of summary executions is around 3,000

The Chronosian Imperium wishes to send Inquisitorial aid to its ally, the noble Sanguinis. We will help you root out the cankerous evil of heresy.

All the help we can get is appreciated

*A broadcast being sent out to every nation*

*There is a shot of a open room with some people bound in the center of the room, they appear terrified and are struggling to get their bonds off.*

*A voice over begins* "Know this now and forever, unsanctioned use of force or psychic powers is a henieous crime against the imperium and the emperor. All found using their powers while they are unsanctioned are sentenced to death."

*A small metal sphere is placed in the room with the captives, it detonates with a small flash but the captives appear unharmed. They begin coughing and clutching at their throats, their skin takes on a black hue and their eyes roll back in their heads as they fall to the ground dead.*

"This punishment is for the greater good of the Imperium of man. For every enemy without there are a thousand within! These viral weapons are designed to latch onto a specific DNA strand that happens to be unique to forces users and unsanctioned psykers. This is the Emperor's will and we will not change it for anyone."

What is the danger to Psykers? Or Navigators; could you imagine the devestation wrought if this virus was released accidentally; or fell into enemy hands? Surely these unsafe and foolish methods you take, are in themselves heretical.... Do you forget the deep rooted genetic flaws within your own gene seed; Marine?

OoC: Never, EVER question a member of the Adeptus Astartes on the purity of his geneseed. Bad move, very BAD move.

OOC: You think I don't know that? ;)

OOC: You think I don't know that? ;)

OoC: Just try to stay away from my Emperor then, he's touchy on that subject ;)

Oh and Sanguinis, you might wana try using some more inquisitors.

OOC: Ohhh, your a WH40K nation too? :D

OOC: Ohhh, your a WH40K nation too? :D

OoC: The Warp screwed up and sent a Ultramarines battlebarge with accompanying escorts back in time(20.000 years) the craft where landed on an island who Lord Commander Rift named "Dumpsterdam" don't ask why he named it that. He just decided that is was better not to upset the locals with their current tech and just addopt. Therefor I have several spacemarines for RP purposes only and the rest is nicely modern tech.

*sighs*

I'm thread hijacking again am I not?

OOC- its all cool dumpsterdam, p.s. the genetic flaw of the blood angels is kept under wraps, not everyone in the imperium knows about it. Most think that the BA are just really hard fighters



IC- We have developed a new process in which we can genetically "stamp" a code onto the DNA of navigators, astropaths, sanctioned psykers, and librarians, any psyker with out this "stamp" is in danger of the virus. Plus this virus is only to be used as a last resort.

Then we are content for now. The Imperium will assist you in purging heresy from your country. Hopefully a Class A emergency will not present itself...Such uncontrolled power; cannot remain at large

The nations of 0tom and Coreworlds think that they can order the High Lords of Terra around, they are demanding that we stop our "barbaric practices" or purging the unclean. They also demand that we round up these unsanctioned beings and hand them over to them.

"That's right. We may be a Rebellion and slightly broke, but we shall not let innocents die to your blade." Councilor Masaki said in a secret-location press conference. "The blood of many is on your hands, and with the biological weapons, we have deemed you a threat to the peace and security of innocent people. We demand you stop these practices, or else."

That is because they are fools; who seek to bolster their force using ranks. The heretics would be better off in the hands of Chronosia or the Sith; where their talents could be used to...aid the goals of the Imperium and the Galactic Empire.

Tenetia, Occupied Coreworlds

"While we may have our differences with our wayward brother, we happen to agree with him, for once." Bryan Sandler, Chancellor of Coreworlds smoothly said in another press conference. "It's time we dealt with you once and for all."

As a neutral nation, Avu-Akar Oivi will take on any refugees from Sanguinis, up to 8000 in number. If they are found to be plotting against Sanguinis, then we shall deal with them by appropriate punishment.

This is not about plotting against anyone; this is about being unregistered Psykers; who evolve their powers wihtout supervision and can destroy cities; worlds, if their powers grow too great. Too easy is it for beings of Chaos to infiltrate the unwary, un-bonded mind...
You shall take none of them.

The Galactic Empire frowns on this, Because of your blatent disregard for the Galactic order you will be punished. The Super Star Destroyer Palpatine and its escort commanded by the Coreworld Admiral Talerth.

Your will suffer and become a colony of the Empire.

We understand your concern, Chronosia. However, we do not feel that mass executions are the way to deal with these people. It only inspires more hatred from them and their supporters. Training these people to use their power responsibly is a much better option.

OOC: Gulp! Me?

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred. They cannot be saved from themselves. They have no supporters; the only one worthy of Support is the Emperor. Thus; there is no support for those already damned.

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred. They cannot be saved from themselves. They have no supporters; the only one worthy of Support is the Emperor. Thus; there is no support for those already damned.
An open mind is a powerful mind, just waiting to be tapped and unleashed. There is no stopping it, no matter what.

But what would you unlock? The controlled power of a Psyker? Or the rampant daemons of the forces of Chaos? Using him as a pawn to corrupt and destroy? The Galactic Empire will take them into our care and nurture the into Sith warriors. ANd those who offer shelter to them, or those who destroy them; shall be usurped

The Sovereign battleship and a fleet of 10 Star Destroyers was sent to deal with the enemy, having gathered enough information about them.

-----

Admiral Talerth was proud to serve aboard the Palpatine. He would not let Vader down! He paced back and forth, like a tiger, as his fleet zooms through hyperspace.

------

The two different fleets will, oddly enough, simentaneously attack:

Astartes Worlds (Sovereign)
Forge Worlds (Palpatine)

By order of the High Councilor to the Sovereign, any and all method
may be used to defeat the enemy, including the use of the special weapons.

OOC: This is against Sanguinis, right? And Avu?

OOC: Don't hurt me!!!!!!!!!

OOC: What did I ever do???!!!

OOC-good luck getting near a Astartes world, even better luck if actually manage to land men on the surface, a astartes battleship is like 3 kilometers long, forge worlds have entire fleets, a emperor class battleship is 6 kilometers long and has broadsides the size of skyscrapers. If you dont beleive me just ask any 40K player.

OOC: Yes but your a tiny new nation; only one month old so you wont have built most of that stuff

Sanguinis you may yet live; all you need do is surrender the Psykers to us, and willingly join the might of the Galactic Empire. If you do not; then I fear the consequences could be grave.
As a result the Imperium is deploying the tactical wing of Battlefleet Chronosia to accompany the Sith advance on Sanguinis.

OOC: Yes but your a tiny new nation; only one month old so you wont have built most of that stuff


ooc- Astartes chapters are small but powerful, and they maintain their own fleets, so yes i do have several battle barges, i dont run where i need to go to. True you may do better than me in space combat, but youre no match for Space Marines in ground warfare.

IC- It is not my decision to hand over the psykers or not. I was given an order and I am following that order, if you want anything from us, then stop demanding things like you think you own us. Speak to the high lords of Terra if they will even listen to you. The Imperium of Man does not take kindly to threats. The Imperium itself is almost 40,000 years old, we have lived our lives this way for as long as any can remember. We have our laws, you have your laws. We do not take kindly to others telling us how to live our lives. Our Emperor is the only one whom we answer to. Not you or anyone else. As for joining the Galactic Empire, no chance of that happening. We serve the God Emperor of Man, perhaps a treaty can be worked out, but we will not be surrendering to you. If you or anyone else can prove that these new psykers can be used safely without letting the warp go crazy and take them into the hell spawned realms of chaos, then perhaps we will stop. But for the moment we are detaining the psykers, and outfitting them with surpressor hoods. We can detain them only for so long, so I suggest your hurry and find some evidence that force users can be safely trained. and dont bring us jedi and sith warriors as proof.

Inquisitor Lord Hammerfaust
Ordo Hereticus

The psyker is a dangergous individual, their minds can be taken by the warp and the bloodthirsty gods who live there. Their powers can grow to the point where they can destroy cities, do you really want to take on such things? We certainly do not, which is why we do what we do. Make no demands of us until you know everything about us. Until then stay away from our systems. Myself, The Iron Father, the Khan of the White Scars, Lord Marneus Calgar of Ultramar, and Azarel of the Dark Angels have our ships on the borders, we will fire, disable and board you vessels if we see any signs of hostility.

Lord Commander Dante
Chapter Master of the Blood Angels
Lord of Baal

OOC: Hello! WH40K RPer here....I have my own Space Marines; who are most probably better than yours in close combat. That, and theres no way you can hold off the entire Sith Alliance, who've been here for far longer than you. You can, of course fight, but it will do you no good.

IC:
You say we do not know the dangers? We know them full well; but they can be put to a use. We of the Chronosian IMperium need them for the Sith war effort. Your battle barges are no match for the combined might of the Sith alliance....You will die if you oppose us; you will fall and that would be a tragic end for such a brave chapter.
You have been warned...

Very well sith lord. If you want the psykers you can negotiate for them, you can meet with myself and Lord Dante face to face. Keep in mind we do not have a friendly attidtude towards you. We do not like being threatend. So come if you have some honor heretic then you can meet face to face with us.

Inquisitor Lord Hammerfaust
Ordo Hereticus

Heretic! You would call us of the Imperium Heretics?
You will meet with the lord of the Galactic Empire; if it is his will. You will come to understand that honor is not the coin of the realm; power is. And while we draw breath, by the Emperor, we will serve our great allies.

If you are truley a servant of the God Emperor than why do you threaten a member of the most holy Inquisition? Further more why do you threaten one of his sared Astartes Chapters? I will not travel into your territory, I am no fool, you think I trust you? Myself, Lord Dante, and a company of his Blood Angels and a company of the Adetus Soriatis will meet you in neutral territory.

OOC: You Do know that we are not Sith, right? We're only allied with the Sith and the Galactic Empire.

As I said; you will not have to meet us, though we will send a delegate. If the Emperor of the Unified Sith choses to meet you; you may be lucky, but if he does not....I do not know what will become of you. You can join us of your own free will; or face his incalcuable wrath.

On behalf of the high lords of terra

The Imperium is willing to ally with the Sith but we will not bow to them.

Inquisitor Lord Hammefaust
Ordo Hereticus

“Is this damn thing on. Ahhh here it is. Here we are, now lets sort this twat out shall we.” Sub councillor Taleth of the second bureaucratic division was ordered to contact this fool to save further time wasting. “Suppose I really should make this transmission.”

“It has come to our attention that your barbaric practices have continued far beyond what any civilised nation would determine an acceptable time. Therefore we have taken it upon ourselves to correct this….. transgression. We realise that your government claims to have a “vast” fleet however your civilisation is far too small to have even developed hyperdrive. As this is the case I have ordered that the Imperial fleet is to execute a Base Delta Zero strike upon your homeworld. You have one hour to evacuate.”

End Transmission

Orders to Imperial Fleet:- Commence Base Delta Zero strike on Sanguinis immediately, do not leave a single person alive, however if it pleases the command staff authorisation has been given to commence harvesting of the refugee population.

To ally is to serve; join us in the Galactic Empire and together we will toss aside ignorance and heresy. We are the great and sweeping hand of the new order. We shall end the war with the rebels, swiftly, and once it is done; the Galaxy will be remade in our image. The Imperium shall know its greatest strength and all shall reap the spoils. We are all willing servants, and reverred equals in the Galactic Senate.

Andrew Masaki sat aboard the Sovereign, a small smile upon his face. "A Base Delta Zero, eh? That would make Sanguinis piss their pants. I wonder who can initiate the BDZ faster, us or the Sith?"

"Sir, this is not a contest." his aide protested. "You're talking about millions of lives being lost!"

"I know. But there's nothing we can do. Plus, I happen to agree with Palpatine this time. Sanguinis must be punished for their transgressions. The gravity bombs are loaded, right?"

"Yes sir, programmed to consume until a planet is gone, as per your orders."

"Good. I'll be in my stateroom."

OOC-cool, this is the longest thread ive ever started :D


To Chronosia: It seems it is too late for us to make any kind of diplomatic decision as you arrogant heretics have seen fit to simply blast us away, We were ready to hand over the psykers, but now I will order the instant death of them all unless your attack is called off. Call this attack off and we will talk.

Inquisitor Lord Hammerfaust

Meanwhile in space

the last of the battle barges and refugee ship have left Baal, the Blood Angels took with them all their most sacred artifact and are headed for Terra, Lord Dante was furious, "These heretics shall pay one day, in the name of our primarch Sanguinus they will pay! I will rip the Sith Emperors still beating heart from his chest! I will butcher Masakai in front of his family then consume their blood! the Blood Angels will have vengence!" As the ships navigators guided the ships into warp space, astropaths sent word to the Flesh Tearers, Angels Sanguine, Blood Drinkers and Angels Encarmie successor chapters to rally at Terra.

"Base Delta Zero." Admiral Tarath smirked. "So basically, we are free to do whatever we wish."

"Yes, sire." A Sith Knight said. "They should have listened when they had the chance. Now they will be wiped out. All of them."

"We're near the Forge Worlds, sires."

"Good. Prepare for battle."

-----

"Sir, we're coming up on the Astartes Worlds." an aide said to Andrew as he came back from a catnap.

"Very well. Prepare for battle, and ready the superlaser."

"Yes sir."

The superlaser was charged up, and only the Councilor's order would keep it from firing.

OOC: Need a list of your Imperium's worlds.

To Adrew Masaki-From the council of the High Lord of Terra

If you and the sith had been paying attention to the last tranmisson concerning the execution then you would have noticed that we have long ceased the executions and are detaining the psyker and they are unharmed. We are open to a diplomatic solution to this. The Inquisitor who lead the purging has been placed under quarentine, we ask that you do not destroy Baal. Such a large energy focus will draw attention of the chaos legions from within the Eye of Terror, and then a living hell will be unleased and we will all pay with our live, the Imperium, the Sith and you. We also request you leave the Forge worlds and Astartes worlds alone, the astartes have done nothing wrong, they were not involved in the executions, it was the doing of the Inquisition not the Astartes. Those that were killed were not killed with unjust cause, if you wish to exam autopsy reports you can see that they were tainted by the warp and were becoming dangerous, 4 cities were leveled and 444,000 people are dead because of a rouge psyker. Is 3,000 dead dangerous psykers more costly than 444,00 innocents? Will you cause the death of more innocents? We are not barbarians and we do not slaughter without just cause. If you are truly so "enlightned" by your so called force then perhaps you will listen to reason.

"Set a course for Baal."
"Aye my lord."
Technicians moved and scarpered about the deck; preparing for launch. Engines hummed as old imperium ships tore through the warp, and newer; Sith designed ships blasted into hyperspace.
The abyss screamed; white hot with the passing of these monoliths.
Time seemed to stop as space, time, tore itself open near the world of Baal.
The ships prepared for war; existing Imperium ships and shimmering, glistening TIE fighters swarmed from teh fleet; like hungry, ravenous locusts.
"Our hour is come round at last. Begin full bombardment of the planet and any battle barge reinforcements that challenge us. For the Emperor; Purge the Unclean!"
"WE purge with bolter in HIS NAME!"
And with that; the guns charged, the shields raised, and the fateful war on Baal, began.

"'Tainted by the Warp'?"

"Sounds like demon-controlled."

"Ah. No problem for us. We've survived demon attacks before." Andrew said. "A properly trained Jedi can hold off possession for a good while. Don't worry, you guys have me."

Nervous chuckling occured on the bridge.

OOC: I know full well what the Daemons are capable of. In NS, a Greater Daemon would be a godmod unless it's part of the actual storyline. To date, no demon (or daemon, just a matter of spelling to me) has ever taken the life of a Masaki in combat.

The Sovereign fleet has reverted to realspace at the Astartes systems. Oddly enough, they didn't begin firing, but sent a message.

To the High Lords of Terra:

We now see little need for combat against you, if what you say is true. I offer you a truce if you do but one thing: if you find a 'psyker' or related psychic person, you will bring them to us for training. Our Jedi, or 'psykers' as you call them, have the training to resist the demons within and without.

The problem is, the Sith are not likely to be as forgiving as I am. I believe they are attacking your Forge worlds now. Depending on the possibilities, we may aid you.

But if we do find that we are lied to, or the purges continue, then we will attack you, whether or not the Sith are attacking.

That is all.

~Councilor Masaki

-------------

The Palpatine and her fleet has reverted to realspace at the Forge worlds.

In the name of Emperor Palpatine, we order you to submit to us, the Galactic Empire! Surrender now, or risk destruction.

"Fire on my mark." Admiral Tarath ordered.

"Yes sir!"

To Chronosia from Inquisitor Lord Torcquemada, Inquisitor Lord Karazmov, Inquisitor Lord Hammerfaust

In the name of the Imperial Inquisition you are hearby declared diabolus extremeus , excommunicate traitor! You have dared to fire upon the homeworld of one of the most loyal, and noble chapters of the Adeptus Astartes! The deathwatch, grey knights, and sisters of battle will hunt you till the end of your days. There is no forgiveness for you who are damned. Additonal Astartes chapters have been alerted of your treachery and are on the look out for you. You are no servant of the Emperor, you are a heretic and may your tainted soul return to the warp where it belongs.


Meanwhile a black ship of the Inquisition, specifically designed to hold psykers is heading towards the Coreworlds fleet with the unharmed psykers aboard, they had to sneak past the ships of Chronosia through the warp, which was extremely dangerous with all the psykers on board. The captain hailed the vessels of Masaki,

" I am Captain Praetores of the Fleet Nobility, on behalf of the Imperium I bring you the psykers we rounded up, they are unharmed as you asked. We had to to battle with a sith ship that would not leave us alone, we crippled it with out broadsides but no one was killed. Please on behalf of the Imperium cease the attack on Baal! Already we lost Caliban in the Horus Heresy, we cannot lose another Astartes homeworld! the Imperium will do take whatever steps are neccesary to get along with Coreworlds and the Sith alliance, well anything short of surrender. But we have kept our word. The psykers, for you, unharmed."

The Chronosian Fleet ignored the messages. They were an entire Imperium; they would not be talked down to by this rogue chapter. They would purge with bolter and flamer; they would serve the Emperor whole heartedly; they would work for the great alliance. And, as the fire rained down upon the world, they no longer cared; the protests of these fools and heretics rang out into the void; their false doctrines waiting to be erased.
"FOR THE EMPEROR!" Came the war cries.
And as they waited; they prepared their greatest weapon....The Viral Bombardments.

OOC: How many are there? and what age groups? How big is the ship, anyway?

IC:
"I will keep my word, then." Councilor Masaki said. "You can dock with the Sovereign. There's likely enough hangar room for it. If not, we can transfer the people over."

"After that, I will head to Baal, and stop this invasion for you." He promised.

Ending communications, he ordered his Star Destroyers to jump to Baal to stop Chronosia. The Sovereign will jump after loading the people aboard.

----------

Admiral Tarath was ready to begin battle with the Imperium. He waited long enough at the Forge Worlds.

"Fire at will." He said coldly.

The Super Star Destroyer targeted the nearest enemy ship and let loose with a devastating volley of turbolasers and ion cannons, while the smaller Star Destroyer tore through their enemy counterparts. Thus begins the war against the Imperium!

Chronosia launched its viral weaponry at the planet; watching the sickly green cloud of impact; watching it spread; contagin...Wildfire.
They turned.
"My Lord; we have something on sensors; vast energy disturbances."
"Raise the shields; charge the weapons, be ready for anything. We'll take anything Sanguinis can throw at us"

The 50+ Star Destroyers of the Sovereign battlefleet exited hyperspace behind the Chronosia fleet.

"Good! We managed to get behind them. Open fire!" The Admiral of the fleet ordered.

Each Star Destroyer picked a target and opened fire with powerful volleys of turbolasers and ion cannons at the stern section of the Imperium ships.

The ships turned; shields raised as energy slammed into them and through them.
The Sith ships opened fire with bursts of turbolazer fire. Ion cannons sending shockwaves through the infinite void.
The Imperial ships pushed forward; firing slowly with volleys of photon torpedoes and plasma lance fire.

"Heh. We're hurting them. Move in! Spear formation!" Since they outnumber us, fighting at point-blank would actually increase the chances of friendly fire. The captain grinned.

The Star Destroyers moved in closer in a spear formation to pierce the enemy ranks, firing powerful broadsides and Alpha Strikes.

An Imperial ship exploded as energy tore through it; bursting into a thousand particles and shreds of debris; as the fleet entered a loose formation; aiming all weaponry at the spear-like wedge formation headed straight for them
TIE Fighters and fighters of the Imperium streamed forth from the fleet; swarming; billowing, as laser and ion cannon rocked the inky darkness of space...

Suddenly several battle barges began to drop out of the warp and back into real space, the battle barges boar the markings of the Blood Angels and some of the succesor chapters, the lead ship Sword of Sanguinis was the personal flagship of Lord Dante, they opened with a volly from their broadsides into a Chronosian vessel followed by volleys of lance battery fire, the other battle barges began pounding at the larger chronosian ships hoping to at least cause structural damage.

The Sovereign, having finished loading the Force-sensitives into it's belly, then jumped to hyperspace for Baal with it's personal squadron of 10 Star Destroyers.

The battle will soon be turned...

Meanwhile, X-wings and other fighters streamed after the TIEs and 'imperium' fighters. They didn't have a hard time with the huge fighters, but the smaller TIEs caused more trouble.

Losses:
2 Star Destroyers.

The Sword of Sanguinis launched a volley of boarding torpedos at a chronosian vessel, the blood angels aboard the torpedos held on as the torpedo ripped through the hull of a chronosian vessel. the proud warriors of the Blood Angels 6th company led by Brother Captain Dinviseo began trying to take over the ship.

The Chronosian Imperium's finest Space Marines stood ready to meet them; pouring down corridors; they lauinched a blistering offensive, with poweraxe and heavy bolter; with fist and flamer they advanced; reciting the Imperial creed as they struck down the foul heretics.
Their faith would be their armor....Their will would be their weapons.

The Sovereign has reverted to realspace, it's powerful superlaser ready to attack.

"Do you have a firing solution?" Andrew asked.

"Yes sir. The Super Star Destroyer, designated Predation is our main target."

"Very well. Fire at will."

http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Tech/Beam/DeathStar2.jpg
A great beam of green energy lanced out from the tip of the Star Battleship and shot at the Predation...

A flash of emerald energy tore space apart; the Predation turned, almost too late as the great weapon tore down its side. Leave a great trench; leaking oxygen and debris.
"My lord; we are loosing all power...We are still taking on damage..."
"Give the order; all fire concentrated on the Soveriegn and its superweapon; destroy the ship or the weapon. EVERYTHING WE HAVE! FULL SHIELDS, FULL WEAPONS POWER!"

"All ships! Concentrate your firepower on the Super Star Destroyer!" Andrew ordered. "How much time for recharge?"

"5 minutes, sir."

"Ok. Use the regular weapons until then!" He added.

The 60+ Star Destroyers blasted away at the Predation, as the Sovereign tore at the Emperor battleships with it's massive turbolaser fire. The green bolts looked like sheets of energy as it blasted away at the enemy...

Marines loyal to the Emperor poured from the boarding pods, ready to cut down the traitors who side with the Sith in stead of the God Emperor, several of the blood angels cald in powerful terminator armor advanced, their crux terminatus deflecting small arms fire, while firing their stormbolters back. the brave marine captain carved a swath through the traitors with his mighty powersword, his efforts great but not great enough.

Meanwhile outside the Battle Barges have begun focusing all their fire on the Super Star Destroyer, pounding its surface with broadsides and lance battery fire. Lord Dante was about to take the 1st company and his honor guard and preform a very dangerous deepstrike mission onto the super star destroyer, it was a eerie reminder of how the primarch Sanguinis met his fate when he teleported onto the flagship of Horus with the Emperor. Dante sent a encrypted transmission to Adam Masaki

"As soon as the shields of the Super Star destroyer are down let me know, I will send boarding torpedoes with the death company aboard them, we will take the ship, then my men and I will deepstrike onto the bridge and attempt to take it."

"Very well. Do what you will." Andrew answered. The superlaser was recharged by this time, and lanced out at an enemy battleship.
