In the Dark unexplored regions of the Centurion Galaxy. A Dratherian fleet consisting of 10 Macross-class Assault Carriers, 5 Macross Cannons, 20 Warbird-class Stealth Warships, and 20 Intrepid-class Vessels is exploring what was once known to their race before the first coming.

Aboard the USS Macross Raynar stands on his bridge bored.

Captain Raynar: "Conn what is going on out there any signs of previous or current life?"

Conn: "Sir, nothing it appears to be a lot of dead worlds and some ancient debris but not enough to I dentify it."

Raynar: "Alright keep searching there has to be something out here."

Conn: "Yes sir, but sir much of the crew say this is where the last stand was and that some Akuma still are here."

Raynar: "Oh please do you believe that old superstition? The Akuma were sent home licking their wounds otherwise they would have been back. Besides once the new Behemoth Mk. II are finished they won't be able to compete with us."

But as these words were spoken alarms went off throughout the fleet.

Raynar: "What's going on!?"

Conn: "Seventy fold contacts and climbing (http://hyperspace.isnnews.net/shad/shadmoth_lg2.jpg) sir they're arming weapons they appear to be Fold Weapons!"

Raynar: "The Akuma!?"

Suddenly as if every captain in the fleet thought and acted as one all vessels went into battle formation and readiness without a word spoken all weapons charged then suddenly in a flash of light from the enemy ships the entire fleet was gone save on heavily damaged Intrepid-class that managed to fold to Tyr and to send a single phrase to their leaders before they were destroyed. "The Second Dark Wave Is Here." The leaders seemed to know what it meant. But at the same time the damaged ship's communication array mistakingly sent the same message to a seemingly primitave world that picked it up.

On Jagrith President John Mercer Remembers the War
John is one of only a handful of people to have lived during the Great War along with Jedi Master Xeth Cortas and Tuscano but due to certain safety protocols the ones who are left have fragmented memories this safety precaution wiped their memories of sensitive strategic and tactical knowledge.

The war was terrible the Akuma came from a distant galaxy they were large in number and very powerful with strange and advanced technology at first the Dratherians held their own then they came in higher and more dangerous numbers then their military began to fall severely they were soon cut down to a few vessels. They had lost their homeworld and retreated to their last defensive position in the Tyr system where somehow they managed to succeed in destroying what remained of the Akuma in the Centurion Galaxy. In the time the Dratherian had encountered a powerful race of genetically enhanced beings calling themselves Space Marines however the remnants of their society is lost. The battles of the Great War raged on and on with the UWA taking heavy losses they fought as hard as possible. Tuscano leader of the Space Marines was an ally near the end of the war. He was a powerful warrior and nearly unstoppable. However while trying to evacuate his people their retreating colony fleet was heavily damaged and presumed destroyed with all hands aboard.

John had always thought otherwise but after searching for centuries he hadn’t had any luck finding the lost fleet or any signs of where they could have crash-landed.

John remembered the Battle at Shata

Back then he was General John Mercer commander of the 5th fleet, champion of Dratheria, and Jedi Master. He fought alongside Tuscano in a ground battle on Armoria back to back. Unfortunately they lost the battle of Armoria and were forced to retreat. But he remembered the horrific maiming and slaughtering that ensued during the battle. Not even their highly accelerated healing factor could save them from being slaughtered. After returning to space much of the fleet was severely damaged. They continued to fight and pound away at the enemy but they just kept coming back stronger each time.

John didn’t know whether they could win this time around. But he hoped against all odds that Tuscano still lived and that there was still a possibility that they could still rediscover the secrets that helped win the war. However he did have the Dratherian shipyards build a large Space Marines fleet in case Tuscano still lived.

wow do you guys mind if i join if i cant il ltag this )

of course all allies of Dratheria and all members of the Centurion Galaxy are welcome as for others they will need permission. Remember this is a very very dangerous threat to our galaxy.

On the outskirts of of the Hari 4(7) System an Akuma fleet arrives and begins setting up bases and defenses on the worlds in the system. And suddenly something massive appeared dark and ominous and heavily armed.

On the outskirts of the Foshko Quadrant the Akuma arrive in mass numbers. And begin searching for enemies while colonizing worlds.
