In the void of a galaxy on the very borders of the universe a vast fleet of Amend Class Ships and Guardian Class Ships filled the void in a formation that spanned beyond the eyes of any could see. This was just one of hundreds of fleets of other fleets ravaging and conquering the galaxy. They had already enslaved or destroyed nearly all the galaxies sentient species.

There seemed to be no hope for this galaxy on the edge of the universe. If no aide came soon surely this galaxy would fall to the Dark Eternal Empire. To what remained of the native species of the galaxy that could still resist the Dark Eternal there seemed to be no hope as darkness and shadow covered their galaxy.

This galaxy would soon be part of an empire that spanned a million galaxies and trillion of worlds. To feed the war machine of this vast empire was feed by tens of thousands of factory systems and thousands of factory systems. The subject species of the Dark Eternal Empire were completely and utterly loyal to their Dark Eternal overlords and would serve them without hesitation for that was the only life they know and the only thing they knew to be true.

OCC: There is light part of my species they are just called the Eternals. This thread is also open to everyone FT.

The Removal Event the Ascendancy conducted as a reason for it's allowance (besides the fact the Ascendants liked the Gaians..,) it was due to the fact the Ascendants had for years been trying to stave the advance of the Dark Eternals, and were losing a war they had started when Dark Eternal forces attacked their last remaining home galaxy, in the Omicron Supercluster, over a trillion light-years away from the Central Ultracluster that the Virgo and Archonis Superclusters resided.

The vast war beyond imagination was one the Ascendants were loosing, mostly due to their belief they alone could save the universe from this travesty.

They were beginning to believe they were wrong.

When the latest Dark Eternal invasion came of the Sdra`trha Galaxy, they mobilized once more for a battlefield spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years. The Ascendants tried to match the size of the Dark Eternal Fleets, with technological capabilities far outstripping their enemies.

But against a ratio of over 1,000 to 1, the odds were only starting to get worse. As was the battles in the galaxy as they began to progress, as three seperate Ascendant Fleet Cores Folded in from Ascendance Space, and hit the central thrusts of the invasion hard. They could win battles..

..but the overall war was all but a rout. Worse, if the Ascendants failed, then the whole of the Inner Core Ultracusters of the Alpha Universe lay bare.

Millions of galaxies subjugated, could turn into hundreds of millions.

Still the Ascendants tried. They also began to reconsider their need for their own allies. When wars over entire Local Galactic Groups took only mere decades to be resolved in all that was ill, then one 'had' to reconsider one's own egos.

The Dark Eternals ahd began to reveal their full technological capablitlties as they had begin to use devices that reflected their own powers that were alot lesser, but they altered the very universe around them and used it agianst their enemies. With the sheer amount of weapons and arms avaible to them they could wage war with untold numbers and power.

The Dark Eternals began to muster the warrior slaves to reiforce the war against the Ascendants. The Dark Eternals were on a crusade to destroy the Ascendants and their allies entirely.

The Ascendants fought hard, their gleaming mutli-jeweled and phasic shaped craft of large varieties and vast scales, while had been able to win most engagements they conducted, had been unable in number to hold back the Dark Etneral tide.

In a shockingly short three weeks, the Ascendants, even with their millions in numbers, were driven out of the galaxy. The Sdra`trha Galaxy fell a week later. The pleas for help were fall on the deaf and entopic ears of death alone.

It was here that the Ascendants in a secret council meeting, declared they could no longer conduct the war on their own.

*White Diamond/Sapphire and System*

The calm of the normal day of commerce and military traffic was shattered with a large Ascendant Warship Fleet Core Folded, as literally hundreds of thousands of kilometers long vessels of carved jewel and diamond made station all about the Capital System of the Ascendancy.

---

*The Eternal Homeworld*

A small contingent of ten vessels of same make and large size also Folded here, as here the Ascendants came to find help in the war they were losing.

---

In the case of the Gaians, it was recruitment to a larger scale of war than they ever expected to enter.

It was the price of the Guardianship over the Archonis Supercluster the Ascendants allowed.

The Dark Eternals relentless with their war amassed their forces to invade the nearby galaxies. A fraction of the infinite armies and fleets of the Dark Eternal Empire had began to assemble to lead the new assualt on the Ascendants and the Gaians.
__________
(The Eternal Homeworld)

The Ascendants were welcomed to their homeworld as old friends.

bump

Lord Hatatus of the Avian Holy Council, a Lord that was essentially the actual leader of the Avian race, took a single teleport beam down to the surface, and the Palace Tree.

He was welcomed by a throe of Avian Lords who, of one, Lord Ackronus met and with terse discorse, led Hatatus to the Council chamber.

--

Lady Shiru this time was the messenger that came in her own shuttle to the supposedly 'dark' surface of the planet. She emerged from the landed craft, with weariness in her eyes.

--

A Voidspace DeepStation Sensor Station at the 100 million light-year mark from the Ascendancy Sphere borders picked up the first signs of the new build up.

This was transmitted on priority to the Ascendancy FACAF High Command.

A Eternal welcomed Lady Shiru and said," I know why you have come. You have come to seek our aide in the war which we will not aide you in now for that will be breaking our highest law against kinslaying until our Eldest One decicdes to revoke that law and the time to show the full might of the Eternals has not yet come."

The Eternal continued," Do not worry for we shall come to your aide during the hour we are needed the most, but in the end even our help may not be enough to win the war."

Lady Shiru responded back "~ We do not come to ask you to fight the Dark Eternals, rather find a way to disuade them from their course, and fight back their slaves and allies rather. It is through them we have found our majority of defeat from.

If they could be removed, then the oppression that the Dark Eternals call their own, could be reversed. As it stands, not even your clositered isolation will protect you for much longer.

But we ourselves have allies to call upon, ones that are very powerful, and not as stoic in the old ways as we both have become.

My advice is to use others to fight a war we are no longer able. Use them, and then give them the right to the spoils we once held as our own. At that time, we can then remove ourselves from the forefront, and not worry about having to guard over all Reality.

We have come as a plea, not as equals. We cannot fight a war like this anymore. We need help. ~"

It pained the supremely ancient being to say this all.

The Eternal answered,' Then it is time you know how they became so powerful. The Dark Eternals a billion decided to no longer obey the natural order and challenged the bery Gods they Gods themsleves were cast down and broken by the Dark Eternals. The Dark Eternals feed off the power left by the Gods and grew powerful beyond the measure of mortals, but our Eldest One they feared for he was the pinnacle of the power that Eternals can achieve the only one that is even capable of fighting him on a near equal levek who is his brother who now leads the Dark Eternals and the most powerul amongst the Eternals except for the Eldest One."

(OOC: Tag.)

OCC: If any wants to join please leave an rp. You can describe your entrance into the war. But, please tell wether you are on the Dark Eternals side or the Ascendants side.

((I don't like playing a planet-nation that has hundreds of thousands of capital ships, shipyards, and planets... like some of the other people do. But to join this I would have too...))

OCC: You don't have to rp for all your planets just make your fleet yp to a number able to fight in this war. If you do not want to do that I believe you rp as Jedi and such warriors will be needed in this kind of war.

(I might join later, I should finish another RP first, and see if I feel there's more to be explored with the group I'm using there.)

((Ok, for this rp I'll just do the whole I have huge battlefleets and stuff...))

~A Kepesk Class Destroyer materialized on the border of the Gaian's main system, somehow bypassing the almost nonexistant patrols (seeing as how most of Gaian's ships are probably being assembled for the coming fight). It sent out a message that would warm the hearts of the desperate.~

"We pledge our assistance to the light..."

~Small fleets were reported poping up all over Gaian space, reinforcing the naval power along the border.~

OCC: So you are reinforments for the Gaians alright, but still the total strength is less then that of the Dark Eternals, but you have provided with the means to hold some planets and strongpoints on the battle line temporaly. Does that sound descent?

The Dark Eternals detected the Darconic Order's fleet coming to the aide of the Ascendants. The Dark Eternals were not dismayed by this and only hardened their resolve.

The Deatharon military sends a message to the Dark Eternals: Are we needed to deal with our enemies?

Message sent in reponse to the Deatharon mesage:

The war has come upon us, plunder and rewards await those who join us, now is time to fufill your alliance with us.

The Imperial Republic Military recieved the Dark Eternals message. The Emperor Mavis still trying to prove he was superior to his Brother saw his chance by destroying th Gaians. He could then prove that he should have ruled the Imperial Republic of Deatharon not that weakling Emperor Akarth. The Emperor Mavis orders his alien slaves who see him as a god to start a crusade agiasnt the evil Gaian gods. Thousands of Sakkra and Mrrshan and Grendal warriors are put into transport ships to invade the Ascendancy's worlds. The Pride Snowleopard Warfleet would invade the Ascendancy.

5 Marine Command Cruisers.
20 Marine Heavy Battleships
30 Marine Destroyers
50 Titan Class Transport ships
800,000 Gaurda class fighter automated

holding:
25,000 Mrrshan Commando
30,000 Sakkra infantry
20,000 Ogre mutants infantry
500 Imperial Walkers
500 Predator Attack Tanks

The Dark Eternals looking on this small fleet, but realized this must be but a small sending force of the full might of Deatharon.

The Dark Eternals were right this pitful fleet was to test the Gaians and give Deatharon a certain measure of deniablity should the Gaians beat this fleet back.

OOC: Standard invasion tatic send a small warfleet if successful send more in if not prepare for enemy retaiation.

OCC: I agree, but I think this tatic is better implymented for FT nations.

The Dark Eternals hoped that more would come, but for now these slaves would be put onto the first wave of the assualt with the Dark Eternals rookie slave warriors to gain experince, wear down the enemy, and to get rid of the weaker slaves.

IC: The Warfleet cloaks and tries to stay behind the Dark Eternals Many slave species. The goal avoid being in the front untill the last minute, They want to save as much as possiable of the warfleet.

OOC: The Deatharon Military does not view itself as slaves of the Dark Eternals and if told they our slaves they will stab them in the back. That is the nature of the Imperial Republic of Deatharon

Full War with the Gaians at this moment dose not appeal to us. However we are willing to send supplies to Deatharon and aid in the defence of Deatharon Home Terrtory if need be. Do note any Gaian attack on Deatharon home terrtory can be met with 2,800 warships in a matter of moments.

The Dominion readyed it self if Deatharon took its offer. Convoys of supplies to fuel their war could start with in a week. Also they could allow the Use of Dominion ship yards. If they asked that is

The Imperial Republic of Deatharon looked over the offer of the Dominion it would go agaisnt the Republic and would be hard to cover up thanks to the inconvient laws of having non Republic ships in Republic space. The Deatharon military sends a secret message:

Secret IC: Agreed, just do not let the Republic know your there.
Thank you.

Secret IC: The Convoys would be cloaked at all times. Even the Escorts. Their would be less then a 10% chance of detection. With in a week our first convoys will start their runs.

OCC: Sending a little aid to the war effort to Deatharon in our war against the Gaians well all help is apperciated.

OCC: I wasn't referring to them as my slaves, but just as slaves, but your point us made they are not to be regarded as slaves.

The Dark Eternals' fleets began to cross the void in order to reach their next traget Ascendant galaxy. Untold numbers of soldiers, figthers, and ships were in the inumberable armada that spanned beyond the reach of the most keened eyes. Within the center of the fleet was the command ship that was eighteen hundred miles long(1.6 km equal about one mile).
_______________________________________________________________________________

The Dark Eternals sent a secret message to the rulers of Neo Zeta:

"Are you abosultely sure that you do not want to enter the war fully?"

OCC: I am not trying to imply I know that you are sending convoys, but just trying to imply that the Dark Eternals are noticing an unsual increase in the number of Neo Zetan products in Deatharon.

Hiei himself answered the message from the The Dark Eternals

" I soon will deal with the Gaian leader. This sould be help enough. With him dead i will lead a invasion force my self. I will breing 90% of the Dominion Fleet and kill every last council member and every last friend of his. And his wives will be my prize alone"

The message was sent and uncoded. Hiei wanted the Gaians to know if he killed their leader then all hope died.

The Emperor of the Dark Eternals answered the mssage from Neo Zeta:

"Their are more powerful beings needed to be dealt with first, but when the Gaian homeworld is conquered you yourself will be allowed to kill the Gaian leader, but the Council must be captuered in order to dismorale the Gaians and extract as much infromation from them as possible. When all this is done you will be allowed to kill 3/4 of them the rest will be become slaves for us in order to better control the Gaians and these Council members will be in their slavery be powerless figure heads."

" The Gaian leader will come to me. I have seen it. He wishs to defeat me. I am one of the most powerful Sith Lords to ever live and he thinks he can beat me. He can not feel the force and there for he can not be a threat to me. With him dead we will attack. And if we are the first to reach the Gaian capital i assure you 3/4th of the population will be killed by our Jem'Hadar Death Squads. We will insure they never agian pose a threat to The Dominion."

"We would prefer that only those nesscary be killed, but that must be done as to show the lengths that we will go to destroy the Gaians and to totally deafeat the Ascendants."

General Message: Alehp is willing to aid our alliance by supplying our specially bred shocktroopers and regular ground troops

Coded transmission: Due to a lack of a space fleet transportation for the troops will be needed if our aid is requested. 10 million regulars are available, with 2 million Shocktroopers ready at all times for combat.

" We have been working on a little somthing to take the Ascendants out for good. A little Plague we have been working on for some time."


Secret IC to Alehp: If you wish we can build you a Ship Yard in orbit of your homeworld. We can give you designs for Basic Transports and Science Vessles. We can also give you Military Designs if you are unable to design your own or we can sell you weapons to use in the Designs you make.

Alehp Recalls it's small fleet of ships capable of deep space flight and begins refiting them for troop transport. At the same time it doubles the number of combat ships currently being grown.





Coded Reply to Neo Zeta: Thank you we have recently compleated an orbital ship yard, but are lacking in certan technologies such as advance sublight drives and energy sheilding. Sadly I fear our technology might be incapatable due to our use of crystalline based tech. how ever we would like to see your designs so that we might make an effort to make ours cross compatiable. We curently have a small fleet that uses a space folding drive for intergalactic travel but again our sublight drives are lacking and once we reached a system it would take at lest months to reach it's inner planets

Secret IC: Then we will soon put forword a project for allience. The Fold Gate Sytem. We use fold drive allowing us to travel across great distences in short time. These gates sould link location and allow ships with out Fold drive to go to another gate at the same speed. For now you do not need to worry about a War with the Gaians. We may have some time left for you to ready your self. As for Designs we can give you the Designs of our old Skeith Class Battle Cruiser.

All help is welcome in this war.

OCC: Gaians pleasre respond.

The Dark Eternal fleet reached the Ascendant galaxy, arraied for battle, and waited for the Gaians to make the first move.

Three Deatharon warships cloak and go ahead looking to get intel on Gaian positions.

OOC: I think the Gaians are on a RP break tho i hope he returns soon.

Message for Neo Zeta:

When are you going to enter the war?

Heavly coded message: Soon we will wrap up our War with the Untied Mankind first. Then settle a new border with the Abh once this done we will ready our forces to enter the war.

Everything had been recorded and scrutinized. It was clear that a coordinated effort was in place to begin to tear down the Guardianship and assert the destructive modes clear across the cosmos.

It was also clear that the Ascendancy was going to be attacked no matter what they did, so they did the most logical course in their minds.

Preemptive strike.

They instead took in hand the now fully integrated Ascendant Fleet into their own. The Ascendants had become stagnant and incapable of flexible levels of warfare, enough to break out of the mold the Dark Eternals had read of them.

The Gaians were replete in out of the box thinking, and with over fifteen hundred Ascendant Fleet Groups to call upon, the Ascendancy reacted by not playing the patsy to anyone elses agenda. Not in the mere slightest.

They started by systematically sending mixed Ascendancy Sphere and Ascendant rading fleets DEEP into Dark Eternal held space, and in a series of hundreds of major raids, began targeting all supply and support, as well as secondary and teriary command and control functions of any kind, to begin distrupting and drawing attention far behind the lines.

The Ascendancy was striking up to several million light-years into subjugated Superclusters, to strike the Dark Eternal links to their allied forces they controlled.

Second, the Main Fleet Legions built together around an Ascendancy Class A-SSD, was sent out with no advance warning, to four major Dark Eternal Fleet centers, and outright began the war on the Ascendancy's own terms. They started by using every clas of weaponry, including Spatial Schsim Rift torpeodes, and Foundation Layer Schsim weapons, targeted at Fleet Docks, military centers and any form or function of usable offensive power or support.

Over a thousand FACAF and allied ground forces units were sent to the surface of each world and luna in the subject systems, and systematically struck beyond vicious concept, intent on keeping the Dark Eternals off guard and incapable of mounting coordinated defenses. They attacked so hard in forty-eight hours, that morale was as hoped and expected.

Abject shock and confusion.

Moreover, The four liberated Systems, as well as in the raided ones, brought back countless souls that would give intellegence one way or another, to the total picture of what the Ascendancy faced. The odds did not worry the Ascendancy, it was the makeup of their enemy. With the information added that the Eternals had relayed to the Ascendants, and likewise to the Ascendancy, the Gaians had a good idea of what they faced.

Their first 'true' challenge to the Guardianship. The Ascendancy intended to lead this one to total victory. They started out the call soon after the start of the war against the Dark Eternals, for all nations that valued justice and freedom, against forces even 'worse' than what the Ascendancy was accused of, to stand and win the great victory against a darkness that even the foolish Zetans did not comprehend.

They also 'sweetened' the deal. For each ally in the war to defeat the Dark Etnerals that participated, they were promissed the right to an entire spiral type galaxy of equal size to the Milky Way Core galaxy, as their own subject territory, with the Ascendancy and the Ascendants giving full recognition of this claim at the literal moment the Dark Etnerals were defeated.

The Gaians weren't stupid. They knew the enemy they faced were worse than the Deatharons, Zetans, Dominion, Chronosians, GE, Republic, Woodians, and all else combined.

Lines in battle cared little to the Ascendancy, except against ones that extended power too far into dischord. If needed, the Gaians were already willing to wipe the slate clean and ask of enemies to become allies outright. As such, the last part was also enacted.

Four days after the Dark Eternal war began, Aleaic took a single vessel, or his own power, of his own being, and alone began the journey into the Dominion, and to face Lord Hiei directly.

Alone.

In mere hours, the shape of the destiny of the Universe was about to change forever.

And Aleiac's marriage promise would be kept.

Hiei would be forced to look Aleaic in the eye, and see if his Sith powers were enough to save him from a foe that saw The Force as a mere cog in the greater scheme of powers and realms of gods.

Aleaic's XGP Cruiser Folds out of Ascendancy space, with all eyes knowing what was about to happen next.

Utter retribution for Hiei causing the near death of Aleaic's wife Tsunami. Hiei was a dead man.

((OC- Seperate topic about to start NZ. =^^= ))

A message was sent to the Ascendants by the grand commander of the Dark Eternal Armada:

My force my be defeated but this only but a sending force of the true might of the Dark Eternal empire.

____________________________________________________________________________
Across the nearby galaxies of the Dark Eternals fleeys of ships with new strength that woud multiply the size of the entire Dark Eternal Armada and they called upon races of slave warriors that should never have existed as they had been genetically altered and breed to such a point as a point as to make them many times large and more powerful.

With these reinforcements the Dark Eternal Armada luached a coubter offensive against the Gaians and hoped to overwhelmed them quickly and efficently.

bump

The Ascendancy was quickly to become the most determined enemy the Dark Eternals had ever faced. Moreso because they were equipped with the knowledge of the Dark Eternal's powerbase, and with their celestial and Elder 'resources'.

As the Dark Eternal counterattack, long expected to come, finally reached Ascendancy Sphere space, the scores of enslaved 'allies' were met on each world and System by allied forces of Angelic, Ascendant and Ascendancy combined forces, ones that used are more finesse in battle than the brute force the Dark Eternals could compensate.

The very borders of the Archonis Supercluster along a million light-year front, was a total blaze of Ascendancy Sphere forces meeting the Dark Eternals in far greater numbers than they expected. More, the thickly places System defenses, and the Fold Defense Network, kept too many entire Dark Eternal Fleet Groups at bay, by sending hundreds of thousands of Fold Generator Focusing Disks around the fleets and Folding them enmasse back out into the empty Void.

The Ascendancy then a few days later, countered by sending several Droid-Kushan fleets to harassh brutally, the Dark Eternal Supply chain, starting with many of the staging points the enemy used.

The battles were costly, but the Ascendancy at the moment held it's own. With genetic refabrication and celestial scores to call upon, the Ascendancy was indeed in it's own, and in a war they 'did' have no reservation about.

War at this vast scale was nothing but glory.

---

Ascendant Reponse:

":: ~ And know that the war to end Dark Eternal subjugation of the literal Universe is at an end as of this moment. Your forces are no more infinite, and 'far' less unified than our own.

Pity you for the end you have wrought upon yourselves. ~ ::"

--

This was also the start of the propaganda campaign, where over the coming years, the Ascendants would seed dischord into the enslaved ranks of the Dark Etnernals false empire.

A Dark Eternal message was sent in response:

"You think that the slaves will rebel, they think of us Gods our close friends as for most of the enslaved races we slowly subjated them at first brining them gifts and then we sent in Grand Fleets above them to show them our might and granduer and then we asked them if they wanted to join in which 90% of them agreeded and the rest were entirely enslaved or the other third of those were entirely exterminated. We have other precautions as well which we will not tell you."

________________________________________________________________________________

For the first time in a billion years the Dark Eternals themselves showed up in a war against another advanced race. The host of the Dark Eternals marched foward agianst them, using untold powers against the their foes and neither might of arms or ships could stop their might. With such might and splendour did the actual Dark Eternals came only the bravest could look upon them and not flee. The Dark Eternals themselves learned how to conter the Fold Generator Focusing Disks by using a strange device that stopped the disks from affecting the ships of the Dark Eternals.

Setbacks are always learned from.

The Ascendancy was indeed suprised by the arrival of the Dark Eternals themselves, and lost in a two week span, thrity seven Systems before the Sphere Allies recovered.

Several front line forces were pulled out and thrice the number of reserves put in to stem the enemy 'allied' advance. The counter to the fear the Dark Eternals themsevles simply were, was the instillment of angelic essence in each warrior on the frontline. The Ascendants were far less affected due to their trans-ascendence state, so the majority of the essence was instilled in the more mortal counterparts.

The power of the Dark Eternals was less able to be countered, so the Ascendancy simply began to focus attacks on the allies in focus, intending to drive a wedge in the 'slaves'. Many prisoners taken were then reintegrated over a few weeks into the Ascendancy side.

Still, the war was tilted in the Dark Eternals favor by sheer power. Until the Excellency returned from his mission, the Ascendancy was held to dealing with the stolen immortal powers by simple military tactics.

They gave territory for time. They still had plenty of time to counter the Dark Eternals, but a sense of anger at the powers of the Dark Eternals fueled attempts by high angelic beings and other lofty powers, to strike down the Dark Eternals in battle whenever the chance on the battlefields came.

---

Second Ascendant Response:

":: ~ We ensure that very soon, your own slaves will rise to free themselves of this tyrrany. No oppressive power of 'any' kind can win out over the greater cosmos.

Already your reach is too thin, and even Gods have their limits, especially false gods. These messages are sent to your enslaved as we speak, and know that great battles take place that will end your impure rule of the stars. ~ ::"

OOC: So what galaxy is the Ascendency in?

((OC- In another Supercluster over 700 million light-years from the Milky Way Galaxy. You missed I presume, the Jedi Rebellion thread where the Ascendancy tried to stand up against the GE and in the end moved their entire nation of thousands of Systems to the Archonis Supercluster, going into hiding for five years shortly after.

If you're going to god mod, do it with style, rather than the noob nuke method. =^^=

But that's moi.))

Learning to what that the Ascendants were doing to the slaves the Dark Eternals developed and injected into every slave a chemical which the carrier's death vaporized the remains to entirely destroy the remains.

A message was sent to the Asecendants:

"Think not that the Dark Eternals powers are stolen alone in no way could only the powers of Gods suplly us our true power we were born with or homed to be what they are. The power taken from the 'Gods' only supplements our power and without I admit we would be diminshed, but still we would be amongst the strongest brings in the universe."

____________________________________________________________________________

The emperor of the Dark Eternals sent the strongest and most ancient of the
Dark Eternals to the front lines and took command of the war effort and all of them were fablous commanders and many times stronger than most Dark Etermals.

OOC: What?

And with that I now need:

An Excuse!

((OOC- Back on task please, I do stories, not lectures..))

---

This was the state of the war into the first five months. The Ascendancy Sphere Allies had drawn the ire of the Dark Eternals themselves, and drawn them fully 'away' from their deepest territories.

Sixteen Fleet Legions were dispatched to liberate thirty galaxies from Dark Eternal enslavement while the Dark Eternals focused on the Ascendancy itself. Meanwhile, the Ascendancy funally called on the Angelic Accords in full, and the first actual hosts were dispatched to keep in check the strongest of the Dark Eternal forces. Full hosts of Steel Angels, Angelic Warriors and celestials of all makes began to lend more to the background defense by keeping up the homeguard and supply defense, while frontline and reserves kept the Dark Eternals at a standstill.

They still lost another thirty, and the fear and power was barely held in check, but the Ascendancy Sphere was 'holding'. Meanwhile the deep strikes and additional raids kept applying pressure to the far deep rear of the Dark Eternals. The Ascendancy was now operating in several Superclusters at once, trying to disrupt the link between the enslaved and the enslavers.

The news of what the Dark Eternals were doing to their own troops was another cog of hatred that fueled the defense, even against such staggering odds.

--

Third Ascendant Response:

":: ~ Then by all means, gloat over your powers.

For the more indignant the height, the more devestating the fall. ~ ::"

OOC: What?

And with that I now need:

An Excuse!

((OC- Then be creative. =^^= I'm an open minded kind of guy.))

OOC: I need an excuse to travel to another galaxy. How the heck am i gonna pull that off?

A message was sent to the slaves of the Dark Eternal slave warriors:
"Though your bodies and lives will not last, your memory and glory shall live forever."

Upon hearing this message were not disheatened any longer by the propect of their bodies being destroyed after their death. Instead they were taught that the Asecendants and Gaians resurecting the dead was heresey. Upon this the Dark Eternals warriors ferocity increased and the entire Dark Eternal onslaught became an acutal crusade against these 'heretics' in the eyes of the warrior slaves of the Dark Eternals.
_______________________________________________________________________________

The Eternals (not the Dark Eternals) sent a message to the Ascendants:

"The Dark Eternals are about to release a power greater then we know they had save their emperor against you we only this, but we know not what it is our it's full capabltities."

((OC- Then be creative. =^^= I'm an open minded kind of guy.))

Well, "I think we'll just send some ships to another galaxy for no reason, hope tha natives don't think it'a an act of hostility, and even then we can kick their butt." it just doesn't seem plausible.

OCC: You can travel to one of the Dark Eternals galaxies.

OCC: You can travel to one of the Dark Eternals galaxies.

OOC: I'm afraid I don't see why

OCC: Alright if you want you can also travel to the other branch of their people who practice along the path of the light. But, not their homeworld of their orgin, but you can go to a world for the Eternals.

bump

The Ascendant Fourth Message was rather stern, and pleading at the same time.

":: ~ If you fear it so, and you wish not to see the destruction of an ally, then we plead beyond measure that you assit us at least in holding back the Dark Eternals, as well as helping us gather allies to free the slaves of the Dark Eternals once and for all.

Or watch as all becomes enslaved under an enemy apparently only you know full well how to combat. We are expansive as a force, but can be more powerful as allies one and all, rather than see us all consumed piecemeal against this darkness.

And waiting for the crest of tragdy before reacting is no excuse here now. We 'need' you by all eternities. ~ ::"

The Ascendancy meanwhile continued to raid and gather tactical and strategic information. They were searching for the Dark Eternals homeworlds, and was rather open about as well, trying to get the enemy to react beyond their means.

They also began to fall back in certain sectors in an attempt to draw the emotional enemy into certain strategic sectors near Boson JumpChulip Stations, as well as keep them wholly focused on this single front, light-years in expanse nevertheless.

The Ascendancy ws ready to deploy their newest assets, ones very much unseen.

OOC: What would going to an Eternal homeworld do?

The Dark Eternals fired a strange weapon at the heart of a Ascendant fleet and witihn seconds of stopping it exploded destroying the entire fleet witohut so much as leavig a trace. These weapons were just minor versions of a far more tiny weapon being prepare that would be launched at Ascendant Galaxies and destroy them entirely.

A message was sent to the Ascendants saying:

"The time has not yet come for us to go to war or has the law agianst kingslaying been revoked as of yet by the Eldest, but do not worry for we shall nto abandon you and in your darkest hour we shall come to your aid."

The Ascendant response was scathing.

":: ~ Then you 'are' going to wait till everything seems to be at an end. If this is the case, then we cannot rely on you as an ally. You are as old as us, but apparently wisdom is veiled over by fear.

Eternals, you are unreliable and not trusted until we are shown otherwise. If this is how you help others, then apparently we are left one ally short.

The eternal mirror you look in better be worth the price of what you have done. ~ ::"

The Ascendancy retaliated by launching several Foundation Layer Torpedoes in a mass cluster into a Dark Eternal Fleet Group, causing a spatial schisim that no vessel within could escape from.

The Ascendancy refused to back down, even with entire galaxies under threat.

OOC: Why should I go to an Eternal world for this RP?

OCC: Let me find the other thread I made.

The Dark Eternals in retaltion sent a captured Ascendant ship through with the device to an lightly colonized Ascendnant galaxy and form their it exploded and destroyed everything with a may lightyears, but it also had one more affect in the wake of the explosing range a mass fireballd bascially grew out ot hurling masses of fire acroos the galaxy and destroying all within a great distance.

After this attack the Dark Eternals with renwed might charged with unknown might and broke the Ascendnat lines and tired to destroy all who survied the charge.

OOC: So going there will get me enlisted to help the Eternals?

OCC: Just to be clear you want to be on the Light side (not the force) in this war and enter the war with the Eternals.

OOC: I'm afraid I have no clue about the situation and who's Light or whatever.

The Small Deatharon warfleet moved slowly and tried to avoid the Ascendancy forces the Deatharon ships did not even open fire. The Ships were givening the order not to fire unless fired first.

The Ascendancy lines broke twice in this period, as several more Systems fell. The attacks by the Dark Eternals were becoming harder and harder to hold back. Several of the major thrusts were hit in the flanks with attacks on barely controlled Systems the Dark Eternals held.

Worse, the captured Systems suddenly began to seriously strike back and rise up against their conquerers, using entire storehouses of FACAF-Brian Caches to call upon.

And then a week into the latest thrust, the Ascendancy suddenly unleashed their Dimensional Fortresses. Three were dispatched to the nearby Supercluster and a massive counter invasion was begun, intent on capturing several galaxies within a few months. The ones even deeper in were apparently being ignored, and the Ascendancy raced to liberate more and more Systems behind the lines, creating great intergalactic pockets to operate from. With each Fortress brimming with the armaments of several Fleet Legions, as well as an apparent lack of major defense, verses the offense they were using up on the Archonis Supercluster front.

The liberated Systems were suddenly subject to Ascendancy kindness. The kind that saw humanitarian aid and freedoms the former subjugated souls within had been forced under. The 'programming' the Dark Eternals were forcing on the vast populace was slowly removed by simple human acts.

After all, how could heathens act otherwise, unless they had been told lies in the first place.

((The dark eternals made a ship/bomb capable of destroying thousands of light years? Ok... I'm out of this rp, its stupid now.))

((OC- How do you think 'I' feel? I'm trying to make this an allied effort thread, rather than a 'my empire lies in ruins before the Eternals come in and save the day.

I 'would' like my empire to survive somewhat in one piece, and have other nations join in. My imagination is pretty much at the limit, trying 'not' to say god-mod in kind.

It's like my realm 'has' to die before the Eternals enter the war. Not exactly fair you know. Let's have a 'little' realistic leeway if were going to have a war this large. =--= ))

((I'll do that...))

OCC: Sorry then I'll change it to make onyl a few lightyears.

OOC: What's going on exactly?

((OC- Basically, before this current war, the Ascendants and Dark Eternals had been fighting a large scale background war of the past ten NS years or so over several major Galactic Local Groups, the Ascendants slowly losing despite winning many battles, due to the sheer size of the Dark Eternal enemy.

As a result, the Ascendants turned to the Gaians for direct help, and after finding out the Dark Eternals, current goverments of Neo Zeta and Deatharon were going to attack anyway, and despite severe odds against the Ascendancy, preemptively struck at the Dark Eternals and started what has been so far, a several NS month long war of total viciousness, and extending over several border galaxies over a hundred million light-year expanse along the Archonis Supercluster after the Dark Eternals attacked in full enmasse.

The war is slowly and obviously growing out of control. The nature of the war is simple.

If the Ascendancy falls, then then entire Inner Universal Core where the Virgo Supercluster and the Milky Way Galaxy resides, is at severe risk. When the Ascendancy said they were guardians, that is 'what' they are doing.

That's our version of the summary in a nutshell. =^^= ))

OOC: I am quite tempted to side against the Eternals.

OCC: Bascially a war spanning untold vastness of space and galaxies where the Ascendants (good guys) and the Dark Eternals (bad guys) are waging a war in which one of these Universal superpowers ends up being destroyed.

The Dark Eternals have suffered a flow in their strategy decided to concreate on the three Dimensional Fortresses. To counter this great weapons the Dark Eternals unleashed one of their great weapons (remeber this is just the tip of the ice berge between these great forces) the Makrina vessals of great power and strength that could challeage even the Dimensional Fortrsses, but they would have to hunt them in paris to destroy them though.

Anyone who wishes to go to war against each other and other regions may do so by downloading :sniper: Halo:combat evolved at (download.com) this game is not only free but it enables you to play multiplayer and team mode.

((OC- Can we get a Mod to delete that last post? Not to mention delete the account for outright spam?

As for the rest, I'm actually not going too much farther than I am now, to keep things realistic enough, so the Fortresses for the moment are it. The catch is that they are Dimensional subpockets that exist outside the normal Mortal Plane in literal bubbles of space-time of tremendous size, though they are far different than simply the Abh Space-Time Orbs, by the fact that they are essentially tiny universes of their own regard, able to bridge the gape between entire realities if needed.

A fortress if filled with large numbers of Type M planets orbiting a single supermassive star that governs the gravity and other critical elements to the Fortress. This allows a huge amount of area for bases, assets, and everything for a pure interdimensional base of operations in war.

The largest so far is about the size of a typical Solar System. Future sizes should include thrice this level. Good luck in destroying them outright...))

OCC: Okay so the Makrina vessals are basically also troop transports that can carry billions fo soldiers and other arms. So they have to be boarded and destroyed from with then?

((OC- Basically a battle for an oversized star system with hundreds of planets within it.))

---

The Ascendancy starts to prepare to react to a large scale push by the enemy with a massive thrust into a deep flank curve. This will be a huge offensive attempting to make the Dark Eternals fight over the same systems they recently took, ones with heavy resistance fermenting upon them.

The reserves and nicoming reiforcements were dispatched to aide the defenders of thayt region. With these fresh fighters on the front the Dark Eternal forces were enheartened and rallied to face the incoming Ascendnat fleet with great strength, valour, and courage.

The Ascendancy still pushed hard, with the support of several major Star-Wings of Omnifighters making deep strike raids and supply drops to occupied planets to local resitance.

The main thrust hit two days later and targeted a swath of six Systems at the base of the largest Dark Eternal thrust, in an attempt to cut it off from behind. The still managed three Systems before being held cold by the large numbers.

Meanwhile, the aim of the enemy was drawing more clear, as a new defensive line was established alone an entire arm of the Portresh Galaxy Sector. Hundreds of Ascendancy Regiments and Legions waited for the next move by the Dark Eternals.

The Dark Eternals predicating this tatic of trying to encircle Dark Eternal forces as the Asecendanrs had tried to do earlier in the war they began to pull back not taking that chance and resbalished the line closer to the main lines. As they had done soon a rock planet the size of Jupiter, but with gravity only three times that of Earth the Dark Eternals prepared for the First Calamtic ground battles of the war.

The Ascendancy complies a week later as they send seventy major regiments with no less than six Emperor Command Mechs, in an attempt to dislodge the enemy.

At the same time a heavy background assault begins to cutoff external support, capturing several supply convoys of Dark Eternal slave vessel transports. Even with nor troops actually captured, thanks to the 'tinkering' the enemy has done, the information gathered shows more of a picture.

The ground forces arrive, deploying gravity compensators to deal with the gravity, and attack in the flanks constantly to draw the enemy to the ground of the Ascendancy's choosing. They were 'still' fighting on Ascendancy soil after all.

Upon the planet decend a mighty and great host of Dark Eternals and accompnaying them are countless slave warriors that are of the most vicious and strongest breeds of the Dark Eternals slave species. Also in ther host are great warmachines that easily are a match for the mechs.

*Tramas III*

A system with only three worlds, all ultra large rock planets with thin atmospheres. the largest the site of the monolithic battlefield. Neither side was ready to back down, and the Ascendancy Sphere began the battle as previously said, sending forces to probe and draw attacks where the Ascendancy wanted them.

The large numbers still was a problem to the Ascendancy, and they had to conduct rapid-raid assaults constantly to avoid protracted battles. The space above meanwhile was as hotly contested, as scores of Sphere Allies warships thrusted to cut the planet off from orbital support. The Ascendancy also had little compunction about close in orbital battery support, firing even Naval PPCs very close to Ascendancy Mechs as they engaged the Dark Eternal versions.

Then to drive back the Dark Eteranls sent two more fleets of equal size and surronded the Ascendanats making them no longer able to support their forces of the planet with space support and to force them to fight on all fronts at once.

..and the Ascendancy responds by pouring equal numbers to try and break through, to establish the supply line. Independant Supply Pods are dumped through automatic Fold jumps (same as the StarJel and other Fold weapons..) to maintain a strong supply stream. Starjel missles are sent at the same time to blind the enemy both visually and sensor wise as the drops are made.

One the ground, the Emperors use even their huge Gravity Mass Cannons to tear titanic swaths into the enemy.

Still, the entire battle is drawing too many resources of the Ascendancy to hold this battle for much longer. The Ascendancy's hard drives are getting costly, and even the vaunted genetic refabs are having trouble keeping up.

The Ascendants intridyced into their weapons a chemical that stopped the process gentic refabs by vaporzing the remains of the victim of the blast.

Stattic pulse fire kept streaming across the dead planetscape as thick as rain, as hundreds of Mechs continued to pour heavy amounts of concentrated fire into several specific points of the Dark Eternal line, intending on rupturing and forcing them to reset over and over again.

Fighters continued to scream in and dump plasma bomblet payload after payload, as scores kept dying, crashing into the enemy line, many times slamming into enemy positions as they died.

The battle on the ground was a microcosim of the battle in space, but no where near as fluid. The FACAF deliberatly held a rigid attack pattern to give the enemy no quarter.

From space, the supply pods kept shooting down to impact points where dumps were established, and the dead, even the infected ones, were sent back up to low orbit Medical ships that Folded in for a few moments with heavy capital ship cover. The enmy penchant for keeping the dead, dead, was going to be cracked like a bad egg in short order.

---

Meanwhile, the enemy was slowly pushing the Ascendancy fleet away from the System, and indications were that a seperate thrust was threatening to rupture the Sphere Allies line.

The Ascendancy began to race to counter yet another major threat.

The Dark Eternal host themselves assialed the lines of that the mechs were holding and crushed all ressitance given to them. At the same time the Dark Eternal space forces charged on all sides and tried to destroy the Ascendant forces in one mighty stroke of the hammer. The sheer numbers of the Dark Eternals forces allowed them to sacfrice great nimbers of ships and warriors in order to destroy the enemy forces.

The small Deatharon warfleet watches in surpise of all the weapons and destruction going around them. The Imperial Galactic Republic of Deatharon had given the orders to attack and see if more ships were needed. The Warfleet knew a lot more ship would be needed and sent signals back to Naval command for more support before they start there attack on the Gaians.

OOC: Any suggestion on how to get involved?

OOC: You could have a scouting fleet of ships run into this big intergalactic mess.

OCC: You could use the same thread that the Gaians and Deatharon used and here it is: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=419219.

OOC: Alright I'll try my hand at scouting.

OCC: Alright then just follow the thread and use only that for now please.

The Ascendancy 'knew' the Dark Eternals were not endless, but the numbers simply were not on their side. In the end, the Battle of Tramas III was sheer, and unelegant brutality over the Ascendancy's vast technology.

But they had only begun to falter when the final assault came, that word came that the far flank in the U`irath Galaxy had suddenly caved in. The flank didn't have forces properly deployed due to the main Dark Eternal thrust, and only piecemeal forces were capable of mounting a response in time.

The road to the Ascendancy Core Galaxies was open. only 126 million light-years distant.

The Deatharon Warfleet advances deeper into the Ascendancy's territories towards there core Galaxies. They do not attack unless fired on first, The Military commander of the fleet feels his forces are insignfiance to fight on this kind of scale. The Main Deatharon warfleet of 2,600 ships is heading towards the battlefield they have just departed from the Neios system in the Antaries Galaxy they are being lead by Grand Adrimal Dylan Hunt.

Both the Dark Eternals space and ground force made a massive thrust which either destroyed or routed the remaining Ascendant forces. In this victory the Dark Eternals were greatly please and the warrrior slave races were enheartened even more by this, but they believe they had surely won the war. Yet the Dark Eternals knew that this war truly had not reached ot's climax yet.

A Grander fleet mgither tha any aramanent assebleb by the Dark Eternals yet in the war and within a few weeks of the fall of that syestem the Dark Eternals departed. This time the Dark Eternals would assail the Core Galaxies of the Ascendantcy and then fight their way to their captal galaxy.

((OC- Lets get the first phase done with today.))

---

The Ascendancy was not losing so much of territory, as simply time. They finally managed a strong defensive line over a 54 million light-year expanse just outside the boundry of the Inner Mid-Sector, as a organized counteroffensive finally held in check the massive advance. But they still didn't have the forces to hold this many enemies back for very long.

The Gaians were getting sick of being beaten in battles everwhere they went, so they finally enacted Plan Fourteen of their own deep assault operations.

Two entire assault Fleet Legions, centered on several SSDs and scores of Ascendant crystal warships, mixed with ISDs and VSDs, were sent out to attack the Dark Eternal secondary capital system. They struck just as hard as they had done in the first days of the war, and took the System by complete suprise.

Their objective was simple. Find the coordinates of the Dark Eternal homeworlds.

The main defense of the Ascendancy Sphere however was still stretched thin. Even though less than seven percent of the Ascendancy Sphere was under enemy control, and over four percent was still in resistance, the enemy was still within aim of the Core Galaxies themselves.

If the last defense fell, only the native defenses of the Core Worlds would be in the way to stop the enemy.

OCC: Okay, but the Dark Eternals are really spread out govermentalorily wsie and won't damage their resolve.

The Dark Eternals rallied a vast and treible defense fleet made of ships being sent to the front. The fleet far exceeded the Gaians and their Ascendant allies offensive fleet. They would surely prevent the Ascendants from taking thwe planet and they would drive them vbacka at all costs. The Dark Eternal sent his own son one of the mightest and stronegst of the Dark Eternals to take command of the Main Armada of that was assialing the Ascendants.

The Main Armada finally reached the main Battlefield they attempt to meet up with the smaller fleet and get the data on what is going on and what positions to target.

About 18 hours before the enemy reinforcements arrived to retake their system, the Ascendancy gathered enough data, as well as damaged enough inplace assets to the withdraw and head to the nearest Ascendany held system in Dark Eternal held territory.

The fleet then struck at a major enemy troop processing center in a heavily guarded system to keep catching the enemy off guard.. They would then do this two more times from different held systems to lead the enemy on a wild goose chase, keeping the enemy from using it's fleet to reinforce their main line in the Ascendancy.

Each raid ended up revealing enough information that would come in 'real' handy come the next phases of the war.

Meanwhile, the homefront was getting worse and worse.

The 2,600 ship mobelize towards the Gaian inner territories weapons were armed and ready. The Grand Adrimal Dylan Hunt orders an attack on the nearest Ascendancy forces.

The Dark Eternal fleet caught up to the Ascendants and lauched a sudden attack of the Ascendant fleet and would not allow them to continue as htier were reinforcement on theii way right at that instant. The Dark Eternals main armada on the other hand achieved a glorious victoru over the Ascendants and only moved a little further forth before the Ascendants reformed and struck back, but the Dark Eternals held there ground agianst the Ascendants. There only had been temporaly effective, but this helped raise the morale but this was enough to lauch great attacks agianst the Ascendants. These attacks disheartened and lowered the morale of their enemy.

FACAF ilCommand finally recieves word of the Deatharon fleet within it's space, and also word that the assault fleet had been caught. It however returned at sixty percent strength, and was merged into the Core Galaxys defense line.

Meanwhile, one Ascendant Fleet Legion was dispatched to hunt down the Deatharon enemy in the Tarmishad Star System where the enemy was closest.

Over 2,100 crystaline shaped warships of sizes no less diverse than the Gaian StarFleet, was sent to resolve the situation quickly, and return attention to the real enemy.

The one almost ready to breach the last defense Inner-Rim lines.

The Grand Armada of the Dark Eternals broke the Ascendant defensive lines and their a ships poured through the breach and sucefully seperated the suriving fleets of the Ascendants. The Dark Eternals fleets drove towards the inner galaxies of the Ascendants.

__________________________________________________________________________
(The Eternals)

The Eternals were grivied by this news and they began the assembling of thier might and arms and they would not let the Gaian Ascendancy fall without even the Eternals aide in the end.

The 2,600 Warships along with the smaller fleet move into position they attempt to form an assualt on the incomeing enemy fleet. The Alpha warhead missile volleys are released litterly hundreds of these missiles head striaght towards the Gaian ships. The Point Singularity cannons start racking the Gaian Capital ships while the Imperial Interceptors attempt to attack the Gaian positions.

The Ascendant vessels are shown to be even more frighteningly flexible under Gaian command than the effects of the Deatharon War had shown. As the first missles and heavy fire reaches the crystal vessels, scores of 'fighter' crystal vessels suddenly appear in laqrge clusters throughout the Deatharon fleet formation and fire nothing less than full power Dimensional Gravity Blast Cannons, and advanced Subspace Sesmic Charges, along with the standard StarJel and regular Seismic Charges.

The Ascendancy fleet, after months of continuous warfare was a lethal, efficent and merciless war machine. The Deatharons had no inkling of what they got themselves into as the battle started.

The Ascendancy was in a bloodlust of war.

--

The morale may have dropped, but the fury of the fighting was no less, even as the last elements of entire Fleet Legions finally broke under the strain of the constant fighting. The Ascendancy needed a badly needed 'pause' to recover, and was obviously not getting it.

As a result, the last broken line was soon followed with the following message.

:: ~ This is Defense Line Twenty-Four, the enemy has broken through and at this time, the Core Galaxy Inner Territories is breached. Repeat, breached!

All remaining forces are to prepare for final defense of the Inner Galaxies starting at the Glory Gold and Sandrathal Galaxies!

Repeat, we are at Code Red-One defense emergency! ~ ::

This meant that the entire civilian populace of the Ascendancy Sphere was to halt normal activities, and assume full milita status. That meant literally trillions of souls in the Core Galaxies would possibly die against the Dark Eternal horde.

The Ascendancy did not panic, but stood tall to the end against the enemy of everything the Gaians stood against. Even if the end 'actually' came.

The Deatharon warfleet was hit hard by the surpiseing aggression of the Ascendancy. The problem was Grand Adrimal Hunt was giveing the order to defeat them. The Gaians had now opened a can of worms. The Imperial Republic Space Navy had been fighting countless enemies in there quest to rule the Antaries Galaxy. The Grand Adrimal orders Massive Omega Class missiles on the Gaian Capital Ships. These missiles constanely fired went through a wormhole and made a massive explosion agaisnt the Gaian Capital ships. The Beta Class missiles were released with there Phase Shift warheads. (think the Tolan device that phased through the Iris.) These were employed agiasnt the Gaian fighters. The Imperial Interceptors launched another attack run on the Ascendancy's capital ships. The Slph fighters defended the Deatharon warships while the Rail Cannons racked the Gaian fighters that got to close.

The Dark Eternals drive their ways towards the Ascendant capital galaxy os very effective as the pound their way through anty resistance given to them. There after fighting so bravely and hard the Dark Eternals Armada stops right at the edge of the Ascendant capital galaxy. Then after planning on how to invade if for a period of time they then assial the galaxy from miltiple invasion points and overun and destroy all resistance given to them. There appears to be no hope save for the Eternals who have yet to show themsevles in the war.

The pause was a mistake, and it gave the Ascendancy the time needed to prepare, race against time to apparently prepare another defense line. Then came the turning point in the war.

...the massacre of Ormus.

There had already been brutalites on the war, but this one outstripped the others, as it was learned a Dark Eternal assault, had struck a nearly defenseless world, populated by millions of refugees. For a world that had only a few regiments to hold the planet, the civilian populace, not capable of effective fighting on their own was essentially a civilian tent planet, not of any military worth.

So when an Ascendant strike force managed to actually kill a Dark Eternal that was in command of the invasion fleet, the response was over a week period, the bloody purge of over 90,000,000 Gaian and allied citizen souls by the Dark Eternals. The news was only learned when an orphanage ship filled with nothing but children, that managed to escape the system, but was under attack by Dark Eternal allied vessels, and then was saved by a timely Ascendancy flotilla, then informed of the massacre on Ormus Prime.

Given the probability of the same in the thickly populated Core Worlds Republic, where trillions still remain, the morale of the Ascendancy went in two seperate directions at the same moment..

...deep anguish upon fear...

...and the vengance of a brutalized civilization.

They only needed some kind of light of hope to give them their chance at redemption, and give their enemy their first true major defeat. They only lacked the assets to apparently conduct such a response.

Their moment of obliteration seemed to have finally come.

The Deatharon Warfleet now advances on the Gaian Fleet in attempt to take the system by force. The Warfleet constanely fires Phasers, Missiles, Attack Drones, and Distergrator cannons agaisnt the Gaians.

The Dark Eternals periced through what little remained of the Ascendant forces and fought their way through the galaxy enslaving and destroying all on their way. Then they finally had reached the very center of Ascendant and Gaian goverment and their culture. The Dark Eternal would destroy them now in a might hammer stroke at the capital syestem of the Ascendancy. But, yet hope would soon be rekinled by the coming of the Eternals...

The seperate Deatharon battle was at the moment a standstill, and the end had come. The Ascendancy was about to be finished in soul. That is when they mustered up the last strength for their 'own' final offensive. They refused to go down on the defensive as the very Core Galaxy came under attack.

And at this moment, his Excellency returned from his Vengance Duel and began to rally the Ascendancy.

...he also waited for the obvious to come at last.

OOC: Last post untill end of work.

IC: The Grand Adrimal Hunt is debating on opening a Black hole in the middle of the Gaian Fleet. Deatharon honor was at stake could he afford to use a weapon of mass destruction here?

The Eternals still had not come for they were going to fufill the prohecy 'In your darkest hour the Eternal shall come to your aide.' In the meantime the Dark Eternal came upon the Ascendants capital planet/Gaian homeworld. There their number were so great as to make the entire planet darkened by the Grand Dark Eternal Armada nealy all sunlight. Then the Dark Eternal fired continusally for five minuted with all ships bombaridng very specifly only the miltary targets and also about 98% of the fire blew up before hitting the planer as they were more as fireworks that were designed to dismoral the Gaians and their allies for prepartion for the invasion. From the sky came countless tranpsorts bearing many Dark Eternals and billions of slaves warrriors.

((OC- Ahem... ))

---

The seemingly demoralized Gaians, apparently alone, and 'still' refusing to back down. They turned to their Excellency, commanding the entire remainder of the A-SSD Fleet, as he himself watched such overwhelming odds with a level eye.

He then hits his holo-comm for a Ascendancy wide message. He hoped his words would finally dislodge the certain 'help' that had been promissed by the Ascendants all along. After having met the Half-Eternals, he had saw the first lessons of the larger universe that was existing and at stake.

He then starts..

:: ~ My brave and glorious people.

We stand at the darkest hour, the time where we see all our works undone and the breaking of our world and existence. It is here that we have fought for everything we believe in, and bleed ourselves white for the hope that the light and the life will continue on as a free entity amid the dark Void, no matter what odds stood against us. Even against the very Entropy we fight to prevent, and here is the test before us.

If we must become extinct, know that history and the Universal Memory will not avail us as lost, for there will always be those that speak of what we were, and by that, we will never truly die. But here, the physical presence may come to an end.

But by that end, the enemy will suffer such a price, that they will continue to bleed in their very memories for ages to come. Never against another will they find comfort of the easy victory, when in the end, they must base it against one that cost them so dear against us.

My brave and glorious people, you have all made me proud. I stand as your citizen soul, more than just a leader. If we die, I die, and together the next age will see more like us return to continue the great fight for the life and the light.

This realm will never die, for where there is good and destiny, we will live on in another! For if another civilization becomes our our destony, then the great work and the great Dream will 'never' die!

But that time is not here, and still we live! We stand at the cusp, but we are not over it! We are still the greatest threat the Dark Eternals will ever face, for we BELIEVE we still can win! No darkness lasts forever, and by this belief we fight!

For everything we are we FIGHT! For everything we believe in the rest of the cosmos, in every nation, and ever ally and soul that longs for what we fight for, we still FIGHT!

So let this be the battle call that shatters the fabric and sunders reality past it's logic. We are the Ascendancy, and the FIGHT is how we will either live or DIE!

We are ALL here the Knighthood of the Guardianship! Let the universe break still before US first!!!!!! ~ ::

Here the Gaians as one face the fury of the Dark Eternals with NO fear. Death is only a doorway, and this day, many doors will be opened.

--

((OC2 - ...shall we...?))

Then the Herald of the Eternals went forth with the banner of the Eternals and said in the high tongue of the Eternals and said," Aver asmenad rasmr Gainmian reaslaka ruiena mozara yeavena rajakan bendia wetras heaorian."

Then he said in the Gaian tongue," Halt these people are under the protection of the Eternals and they are friends and allies or face our wrath."

The Dark Eternal halted and one of the Dark Eternals said,' What shall the Eternal do? You hold no power over us and if you do posses any strength then make us."

The Eternal sounded his horn and unvailed the banner of the Eternals and above finally came the host of Eternals with such might, splendour, and glory that even the Dark Eternals tremble in sight of it. The Eternals struck with the strength of Eldest One who had removed the law agianst kinsalying that inplied for the Dark Eternals and upon each of his servants and people he had indowed some of his infinite might and grace.

It had only been a matter of a hour since Hieis fall. But a Dominion Fleet had been readyed fast.

A message as sent to the Gaian line Our nations once held a Allience. Today it was been reforged you will not stand alone in your war. Your Fate is our fate. Now let us show them the power of the light. Where do you want us? The Fleet was lead by Admiral Rubedo.

Aleaic was just as elated by the sudden intervention by two seperate forces, and then the actions taken in the mere moments between extinction and salvation.

Aleaic then ordered over comm:

:: ~ My compliments on both of your forces and entities impeccable timing. If possible Eternals, save your fellow kind first, before detroying them. To the Dominion fleet, send your forces to drive the left flank of the Dark Eternal assault, and the Eternals can take their brethern head on.

We will begin by reclaiming what we had taken away. All forces begin Operation Sapphire Light. ~ ::

At that, the Gaians let the Eternals take their counterparts on, and concentrated on the allied 'slaves', coordinating with the Dominion rather effectively.

The first phase of the war had finally turned.

The Dominion fleet approched the left flank of The Dark Eternal assult forces.

Rubedo smiled " And so it begians. All forces fire at will"

The Fleet begian to fire their long range weapons as A Yorktown Class SSD carrier sent out over half its fighters with mobile suits to intercept incomeing enemy forces.

This was the same story as more Dominion fleets entered the system in a attempt to attack the enemy flank.

The Eternals with such might they charged and broke the Dark Eternals forces in half, but yet out of the void of space came greater forces then those assialing the planet and they came upon the Eternals and drove them back nearly but the light of their homeworld was within them and they did not waver in front of these reiforcements.

The Scellian fleet arrived, barely in time to make a difference in the battle, but as long as the Gaians existed the help that the Arcturus had pledged would fight on.

From beyond the Dimensions the ships arrived, the only warning a brief ripple in spacetime as they breached the gap between this dimension and interdimensional space. Like a whale breaching the fleet emerged, massive in numbers and in size directly interposed between the Gaians and the Dark Eternals.

The interesting thing about advanced Dimensional weaponry is how it doesn't go away after a few moments, or even minutes. The power of the weapon is so great that the resulting section of spacetime within the sights of the weapon is destroyed for a period measured in centuries. It literally requires hundreds of years for the rents made by these awful weapons to repair themselves, the fabric of reality gone. Any matter attempting to enter these spheres would simply cease to exist, as would all matter within them at their inception. Only civilizations advacned enough to understand the basis of reality at its most basic level could even build ships that might withstand the effects of these terrifying blasts.

Even as the promised fleet arrived they disappeared, raising Dimensional Shields along with field type shields. Dimensional shields create a subdimension, allowing the ship to exist within the original Dimension but not within realspace. The process is nearly identical to that used in hyperspace, barring the ability of anything real to affect it including gravity. Only by piercing the veil created by the shields can anything physical affect the ship, and only civiliations whose technology can touch these shields can even hope to hurt the Scellian ships

Gaians, we have come to defend you from your unthinking agressors. Tell us where you need us most, and we will be there.

OOC: I believe I've seen both of you use weaponry that could touch the shields, I won't comment on penetration power because that varies by ship, but these ships are merely hard to get at. Hope I'm not too late :)

The Dark Eternal sent in the Imperial Ship that bore the Imperial Prince that was three times the size of Jupiter. This ship would literally consume the Ascendant planet and ffed uon it and all that was in the Ascendant syestem. It's weapons wre also strong enough to oblilerate a every star withi light years also it's armanent revealed any starship nearly.

Aleaic watched the conflict blossom into a brutal painting. The arrival of the super warship was taken with a grain of salt.

"Even 'we' don't need things that large."

He then orders into the area, several events. First, the Dimensional Fortresses begin attacking their opposite numbers, as well as the deep interior of the Dark Eternal held space, liberating hundreds of occupied worlds at the same time one huge upheval of a uprising takes place on 'every' occupied world.

Second, the Journey Sar`'Nors are deployed, as six of the 10,000 kilometer sized Ascendant BaseCores arrive and immediately deploy their immense Dimensional Superlasers. As this occurs, Aleaic then uses his powers of the Hikari to reach into the oversized vessel, breaching the shields with immense numbers of Angelhawk Wing blades that stretch for kilometers, and once this is done, the vessel's besieged power core is held by a 'grip', as if his mind was squeezing a star.

That much assailment upon the immense warship causes great damage before it even gets near the Homeworld.

Meanwhile he orders the Scellian Fleet to attack the right flank of the entire Dark Eternal line of attack, as the Dominion sent tremendous pressure on the left, and helped the Eternals in their forward assault.

The Gaians knew that after 'this' much time at war, the Dark Eternals 'had' to have had a limit.

With the 'entire' Dark Eternal front was assaulted anew, the held back counterattack forces finally attacked themselves in the deep rear of the entire advance, as well as the thrust that had stopped at the massive rock world. It was the intergalactic version of the Kursk double pincer the Soviets used to destroy the Kursk pocket and an entire German Army Group.

This time the Gaians 'knew' they had the upper hand and kept harking to push the Dark Eternals all the way back out of the Archonis Supercluster. Such a defeat would devestate the morale of an enemy that apparently never tasted defeat on such a scale.

What that would do to the enslaved population in terms of belief in their 'masters' was only barely considered. First things first.

The Gaians wanted their worlds back before the inital 'break' came.

Another Dark power watched the battle from afare. The power that had made the human race unstable hundrads of years befor and nearly brought it to its end.

A man with long hair set on his flag ship Childs Blood.

He smiled and spoke to his first officer " As i close my eyes i feel it sliping away the chance of the Dark ones victory. Hiei failed me and now these little pawns will fail me as well. We will indeed have to find another power to do our bidding.

It took such effort to get these Gaians to move to this super cluster and go to war with them. Humans make me sick in their will to go on and fight the naturle order."

The massive black ship did not fold or cloak but it did vanish befor any sensor picked it up.

Meanwhile The Dominion Push was slowing but not stoped massive loses were taken but just as many were being given out to the enemy as a new goal was sent

" Break threw and meet with allied forces on the right flank pench off the enemy forces fighting on the front line!!"

This would be easyer said then done but with the order the offensive picked up anew.

With many many slave warriors killed so much so that the lines were undermanned in some place the Dark Eternals summoned more slave warrirors of a breed darker and more horrific to look at and theywere the 'Urkuraia' they came as they were the strongest breeds that the Dark Eternal had naturally breed. These came with great numbers and greart powers into the war.

When this new information was sent to ilCommand, the response was...

"Space Orcs? Super 'Space' Orcs? What is this, The Middle-Earth of outer space?!?!" ...ya'll get the pic.

The new arrivals made for simply one more vector to take into account, and the Ascendancy countered by ordering Angel Gods and the Dominion Jem`Hadar to begin directly attacking these 'things' head on whenever they saw them. The rest were handled by the vast numbers standard troops.

Ones that were able to be gen-refabed once more, due to the chemicals the DE were using to keep the dead, dead, being defeated by new genetic medicines that allowed the body to offer enough genetic material for recovery.

That meant 'both' the Allied and Dark Eternal dead were now recoverable once more. In one week of overworked Med-Tech Centers and Mobile Med-Centers, over 500,000 beings were sent back into the front. With additional behind the lines support, over 30 percent of the Ascendancy alliance ground and conventional star forces were brought back into the fight. With the technology now extended to the Dominion, Zetans, Scellia and the liberated slaves they were able to capture and convert properly once more, 'this' gave the Allies the push they needed to fight with total abandon on all fronts.

A new fleet arived lead by Yusuke.

Hope i didnt miss the fighting. Sorryfor being late.

The fleet was heavy in Reman Shock troops and Jem'Hadar Battleships

The fleet would be the tip of the spear as the 6th fleet needed to fall back for repairs.

The fleets now switched out with reinforceing fleets all over the front.

The Jem'Hadar and Remans could handle these space orcs.

As a group New Reman Warbird II had arived they fired while cloaked on enemy command ships. They also used the new Thalaron Radation Torpedos.

The Dark Eternal wouldn't allow their own warriors and slaves to be turned agiasnt them and introduced the polocy of adding a inactive virus in the dead that would mutant uder the vaccine so even if they resurrected them immediely the vius would attack the brian and begin to destroy the DNA also they improved upn the orginal vaccine by doubling the doage the slave would be even further vaproized and an added affect would be that up to ((% of their surving DNA would be destroyed or beyond repair. Also all slaves that were converted and sent to the Dark Eternal world and began to covene secreltly were to be killed and the Dark Etternal labeled these freed slaves to be heretics that needed to be killed on sight of which many of the Dark Eternals slaves were eager to earn their masters' prasies by killing them.

...in essence, Gaian citizens were being sent back and killed on the spot. When word of this reached the Ascendancy, that turned the swithc like nothing else could. Added to the atrocities of the Ormus massecre, Aleaic finally was fed up and had enough.

:: ~ This is no mistake or drill. As due to the information of our own citizens being treated beyond inhuman bounds, I am declaring our first Holy Jihad against the Dark Eternals.

Our allies may conduct themselves as needed, as for us, to hell with the rules. Any Dark Eternal cornered is to be killed on sight, unless an Eternal is present.

The Dark Eternals actions are being relayed to all nations on all HPG frequencies, as proof of what now is no excuse beyond measure of the Dark Eternal's own intentions. As a result, no quarter or rest is to be given. Remove compassion from your hearts my brave souls, for now the enemy has none left to be given.

If another atrocity is uncovered by the Dark Eternals, then we may be justified in an Extermination in additiion to Jihad.

OUR CITIZENS WILL BE TREATED FAIRLY, OR THE WAR WILL ONLY END IN THE ERADICATION OF THE DARK ETERNALS!!!!

Enact Plan Sven my eternal forces!!! ~ ::

This was it, no matter 'what' the Dark Eternals sent, the Ascendancy was comitted to punishing the enemy beyond an utter amount of logical reason.

In repsonse of the to this messsage the Dark Eternals sent the Gaians to a fsir prsion world where they woudl be given supplies as medical, but there they would not be tocuhed by the war or killed by the Dark Eternals also the Dark Eternals sent this message to them:
"Your people from now on that are our prisoners shall be treated fairly and humanily, but the slaves that we see in our territiories are under our judgement and laws."

Hearing this Rubedo smiles " We are relesed from our morals. Fire the Weapons deep into their ranks"

Countless Reman Warbirds ready to fire their Thalaron Radation deep into the enemy flank.

With in a matter of moments they fire. Their beams in many ships. The Dark Eternals were advanced but not even their tech could save them from this weapon. Anything organic the beam touched would suffer a horrible death.

With the beams fired any ship found a drift would be towed away for studying.

The Ascendancy response was simple. ":: ~ Keep them however you please, but know they will be liberated in the end, as well as your remaining enslaved populace.

We have gone past the bounds of civilized war here, and 'we' will decide when the bill has been paid here. We 'are' without remorse for the present time, the same as you have treated our own.

..and as such, will need to be convinced beyond reason that our citizens are being treated well before we rescind our Jihad. Trust has no meaning between us, and only the Eternals themselves can inform us that such occurs before we believe now. ~ ::"

Meanwhile, the new offensives were close to pushing the Dark Eternals back out from the Inner Core Galaxies, and back into the Mid-Rim Sector. The rest of the front was starting to shrink as well.

As for that little tid bit with the DNA mutation introduced, another reason for not trusting the Dark Eternals actions, that was soon combatted by introducing nano-droids that could detect abberations in standard DNA, of any kind of such measure.

And in a forward, very proactive action, the original celestial energy infused in Ascendancy troops was upped to nigh-angelic status. This essentially made Gaians nearly immune to almost every kind of non-natural disease, congenative, or malmedy that could be conconcted. The nano-machines were also made evolving, meaning that any further disease, bio-weapon, and chem-weapon would be countered within a hundred cases of death from an outside agent.

The Gaians went all out to defeat the enemy on the unconventional front as well.

Meanwhile, Aleaic decided it was time to meet his counterpart leading the Eternals and learn about their saviors. A signal was sent to have a short meeting in a place of the Eternal's choosing.

The Scellian fleet sweeps into the Dark Eternal flank, leaving entire light seconds of space inpenetrable black abyss' and smashing into the side of the DE battleforce. Systems with no Gaian presence no longer exist, the stars themselves consumed by the ravenous guns of the Taskforce. Entire DE ships were swallowed by the awesome might of the Scellian guns, the fleet pushed forward into relentlessly with overwhelming numbers. Without any major opposition it was possible for the Scellian fleet to roll up that side of the battle and hit the rear of the main DE force.

However the most important battle was to be fought with the Command Dreadnought, which moved to intercept the smaller DE Imperial Ship, they would not allow its weapons to come within reach of any Gaian planet.

It was perhaps the ground combat that the Scellians were most effective, even if the forces they used were cute and fuzzy. Dimensional rifts opened on planet after planet and spewed forth hundreds of kittens, it their lethality wasn't realized until a kitten burrowed through the nearest enemy Mech. Attack kittens cut bloody furrows through the enemy ranks, nearing infantry apart with little effort. Even if someone hit the supersonic weapons of death only antitank or antimech weapons seemed to hurt the kittens. Armies could fall while Mechs looked on helpless either unable to hit the kittens due to their speed and agility or the shear number of friendlys that surrounded them. The worst perhaps was that the kittens didn't need to stop for food or supplies, they eat their enemies, Mech and all.

OOC: Scandinvans, we need to RP a confrontation where my fleet hits some part of yours as it tries to flank you, where is your choice. Be aware that unless you face the fleet with all your forces you will be outnumbered and outgunned.

When the Ascendancy learns how the Scellia Elder allies are conducting their war, they send a calm message to their allies asking that they remove the enemy, but leave behind the Systems since they 'are' Ascendancy territory.

The Ascendancy 'would' like something govern over and repair once the conflict was ended. Call it a vice of the Gaians, since they care for the planets they control in the Supercluster.

..seeing them as living beings in their own regard.

The do call it the living universe for a 'reason' in the end.

Hearing the request to stop completely destorying systems without Gaian presence a limit is put on the amount of mass that can be removed in a fight for a system, only 50% of the planetary mass and leave enough fuel for the star to continue to burn for at least a few more centuries.

This is why the Ascendancy leader wants to meet with the other elder leaders, to understand each other better. In anycase, they begin allowing select dead systems to allow the Scelian Elders to feed themselves upon.

They however begin to plan, even this early for the counterinvasion of Dark Eternal space, with the needs of their allies in mind.

((OC- Last post for tonight.))

The Momment the Dominion had entered the fight on the side of the Gaians was the moment the main Attack fleet stoped and pulled out of Gaian territory. The Fleet knew they were vulenerable at this moment but if the Gaians attack at this point. The second attack fleet would be called up to retailate and this time W.M.D. would be used.

A message was sent to Deatharon

Our allies we ask you join us and the Gaians agianst the Dark Eternals. They can not be trusted they plan to turn you into another slave race after the war. I know we both have some issues to work out with The Gaians but that can be worked out. These people will turn on you once the war is over. Their is much more to gain by sideing with the Gaians in this case.

Meanwhile the first convoys and supplie lines were starting to run

Also two transports sent a message to Gaian HQ for the war

We wish to be able to set up a command center to controle our fleets from. To work togather on the war and share our resources to beat our enemy.

The Deatharon military responds in actions not words. The Second Attack fleet of about 2,500 Warships launches there assualt agaisnt the Dark Eternals. The Dominion requested it and Deatharon needs the Dominions supplies.

The Dark Eternals sent a large fleet to counter Scellia threat to their fleet, but the Eternals were by far the greater meance. The Impireal ship was boarded by the Dark Eternals and won the day and captured one of the many sons of the emperor. Then a grand ship greater then any seen yet in the great wars bore the Eldest One of the Eternal race upon. There the Dark Eternal prince was brought and aboard and then and there did homage and asked for pardon for himself.

Then the Eternals routed a third of the Dark Eternal fleet while the other ones began to flee. The Eternals then sent this message to the Ascendants:
"We will met in your palace if that is apporaite with you?"

The DE had a had choice, who to fight when either choice made the other fatal. Once having chose to fight the Eternals with the might of their fleets what few forces sent to fight the Scellian ships died quickly and painfully. Often there were few to know survivors of the encounters when outnumbered and outgunned DE ships faced the technologically superior Scellian forces.

The DE flank crumbled within hours and the Scellian fleet cut the DE forces in half, connecting with the Gaian forces on the other flank. Then the Scellian forces turned back toward the Gaian lines, leaving the Dark Eternals behind for the Eternals to deal with. Half the remaining Dark Eternals were now caught in a vise between the massive Scellian armada and the Gaians own defenses.

The Ascendancy began to allow areas for the Dominion to setup their own assets to create close in stations to command and fight from. Seeing the Deatharon Fleet turn on the word of the Dominion was an interesting sign, and allowed the Dominion conduct to steer the Deatharons, rather than try to do so themselves.

Aleaic meanwhile began to commune with the Ascendant leaders for the first time, and it was agreed that a large conference would be established on the System of Edo, rather than have a quick meeting, hence done after the Dark Eternals were driven out of the Archonis Supercluster.

Conduct of the alles at least given a bare minimum attention despite the Jihad, that the enemy enslaved that were captured would be treated humanely, as eventually, the enslaved would be a free series of civilizations to extend relations to.

The Dark Eternals were an Eternal matter alone.

And then, the Ascendancy struck hard at the weakening enemy lines, and began futher supply line raids in the nearby Supercluster across the Void.

A single message came from the The Scellian fleet to the Ascendancy High Command...

You be the anvil, we will be the hammer.

The Dominion set up its command center near the Gaian command. There the war would be controled.

The Dominion fleet after a long fight at last made the first contact with allied forces comeing from the Right flank

The front of the Dark Eternals seemed to be falling apart. The Dominion Fleet commanders urged Dominion High Command to allow them to start a attack on the Dark Eternals home worlds.

They wanted to use the Quickening Virus on them. A Virus that would slowly destroy the DNA with out hope of cure. But it was risky if they used biogenic weapons then so might the Dark Eternals.

The Dominion Fleets kept up the push but no offensive would be allowed untell Dominion High Command had more information on systems of importence.

Then the Dark Eternl dispatached a great host of warriors to a planet to enage un the active ground defence of the planet. The Dark Eternals readied a massive force in defence of their empire if so the Eternals and their allies fought them that far back into their own territories.

OCC: Neo Zeta also the Dark Eternals are immune to all unnatural and natural diseseas anjd can only be slain by an extremly great force.

The Ascendancy disagreed on the simple principle that the Ascendancy still wasn't totally certain of the location of the DE homeworlds. Plus, after months of constant fighting, the Ascendancy seriously needed a blasted break, with time to recover. Even with the 'recycling' of forces back to the lines, the Ascendancy was still weary and stretched from having fought alone for so long.

As for the bio-weapons, the response was simple.

":: ~ There is no glory or statues in the use of weapons that do not allow you to kill an enemy in the eye. Or at least where they 'know' they see you. The final victory should be done by these terms.

This is the Clan way of warfare. ~ ::"

..the use of bio-weapons would only be reserved for a unique way, once the homeworlds were found, and after the council meeting of allies, once the Archonis Supercluster had been reclaimed.

Meanwhile, the Ascendancy began to shift several Fleet legions to become the anvil the allies wanted, and relished the chance to have the enemy driven to them, to finally equal the measue of Ormus. Iver fifty Fleet Legions and a hundred Clusters and Regiments respectively were established on the original invasion line the DE had taken, and there the invasion would be ended.

The original sixteen that fell.

The Eternals launched a massive attack against the Dark Eternals and fought to break them with all the might the Eternals possesed. Many of the captred
Dark Eternals were brought before the Eldest One of the Eternal race and there they did homage to him and begged for pardon as he was held to be the greatest of their race amongst all Eternals even the Dark Eternals. Their his eyes glowing as if they were stars would perice into their very souldss and the would judge fairly and wisely their fate.

The last pocket of DE froces would soon be crushed, the massive weight of metal brought by the Dominion and Empire forces would tear into the rear of the DE warships. Surrounded on all sides by fleets of the Dominion, Empire and Ascendancy soon over half the DE forces engaged in the Archonis Supercluster would be destoryed.

As the fleets swept forward messages went out, asking the DE fleet if was willing to surrender. If it wasn't it was unlikely that the Gaians, Dominion or Empire would allow anyone to escape. Even with the huge number of forces availible to the Dark Eternals a loss that size would hurt any nation, and could shorten the war by months if not years.

Within the systems conquered by the Empire of Scellia something strange, to one not in contact with the Gaians, starts to happen. Systems begin to disappear, and black hole mysteriously appear and then vanish. The Arcturus has begun to harvest the resources nessesary to extend the war on the part of the Empire, for as long as there are systems unoccupied the war machine of Arcturus will have resources to produce the ships of the Empire.

The Deatharon second fleet attempts to attack the Dark Eternals outer systems.

The Ascendancy finds their redemption on one central planet, as the rock world that the Dark Eternals essentially defeated them upon is once more assaulted anew.

..and the suprise of the war so far, as about thirty-four percent of the original ground forces still survive, centered upon two surviving Emperor Assault Mechs. With the massed assaults elsewhere breaking the Dark Eternals from their grip of Ascednant Ascendancy galaxies, this one victory gives great confidence for the formerly demoralized FACAF.

On top of this, the Ascendancy begins to amass tremendous amounts od Dark Eternal technology. The Ascendancy left the Dark Eternals still to the Eternals themselves. But the technology and the large numbers of slaves captured and slowly recovered are a tremendous source of information and knowledge for the allies here. The information is spread evenly to the conventional allies for the weaknesses and strengths learned.

Save one bit of information, one left to be revealed once the end of the retaking of Ascendancy territory completes, at the meeting to come.

The Eternals send a message to the Ascendants:
"The Dark Eternals only leave wreakage of their fleets, we know not what they are but that they posses and use far more terrible and powerful technologies in maintiang their empire."

_____________________________________________________________________

The Dark Eternals mysteriously withdraw bringing with all their remaining ships, techonlogies, and also all their slaves including huge amounts of the the caputered ones leaving vasr amounts of subjated worlds entirely deviod of sentinet life and only leave this message:
"The captured peoples are not entirely dead and mostly are alive, but they are ours' now and they have been brought with us to join our glorious empire of the Dark Eternals."

In a word, no. Thats a blatant godmod and I'll ignore if you don't change it. Godmodding has been played with pretty free and loose here with your massacring the Ascendancy but that was agreed on. I keep on giving you a chance to RP your fleet fighting mine, but you simply ignore my forces advancing so I assume that they succeed. If you don't try and RP it they will continue to win, but that is your choice.

However all your forces mystically disappearing and reappearing within your borders is a blatant godmod, you didn't even RP it. My forces along with the Dominion and the Ascendancy have yours trapped, you may withdraw the forces that aren't trapped but at least half your forces CAN'T withdraw. The captured are beyond your touch, and so are all the planets that are within the trapped area.

The Ascendancy stood suprised that the enemy had withdrawn enmasse. But the taking of Gaian citizens was a horrid mistake that ensured that the Ascendancy Jihad would continue until the Dark Eternals were utterly defeated.

Meanwhile, with the withdrawl, the Ascendancy controlled their entire territories once more. It would take a good deal of time to recover, and this was when the Ascendancy Sphere called a 'break' in the war, one meant to finally give them time to recover and rebuild.

...and prepare for the conflict down the road.

In the end, the entire war in it's first phase, was now a victory of the Ascendancy and it's allies. The Dark Eternals had been driven back and defeated enmasse for the first time. The Gaians knew who to thank and promised a true thanks for all parties involved.

A few weeks of recovery later, and study of 'all' technology included as well as all other forms of recovery now begun, that the Ascendancy called for it's first alliance council, to be conducted on the city-planet world of Clan Home.

The date was set for a week after the reciept of the message by all parties.

In a word, no. Thats a blatant godmod and I'll ignore if you don't change it. Godmodding has been played with pretty free and loose here with your massacring the Ascendancy but that was agreed on. I keep on giving you a chance to RP your fleet fighting mine, but you simply ignore my forces advancing so I assume that they succeed. If you don't try and RP it they will continue to win, but that is your choice.

However all your forces mystically disappearing and reappearing within your borders is a blatant godmod, you didn't even RP it. My forces along with the Dominion and the Ascendancy have yours trapped, you may withdraw the forces that aren't trapped but at least half your forces CAN'T withdraw. The captured are beyond your touch, and so are all the planets that are within the trapped area.

((OC- Nay, let it happen. In the end, if it was really detailed out, hundreds of millions on both sides have been killed in this war already, and the pullout just gives incentive to invade the Dark Eternals own grounds in the near future.

But I do admit that the godmod bit is overdone here, and should be addressed before the next 'round' of the war begins. *looks at Scand..* ))

The Deatharon fleet was surpised to find the Dark Eternals missing. So they advance deeper into there territory to destroy them.

OCC: Alright let me parahrase that more properly the technologies are not nown to the Eternals as they are biological nothing like bio weapons that kill people on the cell level, but they are more like creatures that aren't invincible but more crearure of terror and great weapons that are fairly powerful and they will be more like FT version of the Nazgul mounts (the flying dragon things). Also looking back the taking of all the former Gaian citzens is a great god mod and thinking of the Gaians post I will nake it taking huge amounts of them back as slaves. There also to be a few things in suprise and also in my opinion the ship that destroys an entire fleet byu arriving is God mod instead just have it have a great abiltiy like firing a giant beam that it can reuse after a period of time it can refire and the beam cna destroy great amounts of ships.

The Eternals halt and say," The Dark Eternals for now have been routed we all most have a deal of time to recontruct our force and/or reorganize them as we all have suffered from hurts in this war and we must prepare for the upcoming times."

The Eternals had lost literally hundres of billions of slaves in their war and also a third of their Armada of the war which was a great fleet in their reckoning they were diminshed in the border areas of theur empires but not destroyed or entirelt disheartened.

((OC- I think it's almost time for my wedding thread. The alliance meeting can occur afterwards, and I intend to want to try and drag.. er.. draw in nations from even the GE, Republic, and other powerful realms into the conflict, and create one immense alliance intent on defeating the Dark Eternals.

And 'then' in the middle of this war I drop in the Dark Ascendancy finally. But I think a thread for a week or so promoting a peaceful period is about due. ))

OCC: Alright I agree as I need time to plan and think the newer thread/war through more and develop it in my mind.

OOC: You guys are lucky. I am starting a civil war in Deatharon.

((OC- Lucky!? You call a war with billions of NPCs dead on bo9th sides lucky?

..well, it was fun, if a bit bruising to my ego early on. =^^= ))

OOC: No I meant with the peace and wedding. You probally will have cake and ice cream while my men are killing each other so one of the Von Antheron brothers can rule.

I've never had a chance to even describe how much damage my weapons, I've never even posted losses. I mention vaguely massive amounts of damage incurred to the surrounding systems by battles, but that is as far as it goes. You have your anchor field things that provide shields against my weapons. The Arcturus arriving didn't kill the ships, it was the massive fleet that came with it and the guns on the Arcturus, while it isn't a military ship it huge. I use the word cease to exist because that is the effect of my weapons, which you have fields that act as shields for.

Whatever, if GA is willing to accept this so am I, I suggest that for the next thread each battle is RPed instead of the confusion that has been going on for in this thread for the last little bit.

((OC- And by the time you're done with your war Death, my own will suddenly get fired up again. And the problem with rping entire battles, is that they are so huge in scale, it's going to draw everything out too much if we do it that way.

My suggesstion is to create invasion versions of threads, which encompass entire intergalactic Superclusters, which become 'fronts' by the various nations in their own seperate conduct of the war, which is what the Ascendancy will want.. (i.e. a Republic front, a GE front, Chronosian, allied Ascendancy, so on and so forth..)

What needs to be addressed, is grammar. I need to see a bit longer posts and better spelling, so that this entire war gets the respect it deserves in this forum.

As for my own thread, it'll start sometime tomorrow and last a few days, giving everyone a real break from war. (except Deatharon of course.) Time to rp romance for once, gawd dang it all. =><= ))

OOC: You better not be talking about me :p

I doubt that you will get this that widespread, the GE and Republic are concentrating on each other right now. I think that a solution might be to post individual battle threads, each with a tag that identifies it as part of the main thread. Then to speed RPing along each side argues about which side wins and what losses are taken, then those numbers are used in the main thread and the battle is RPed out from there. That way you can both speed and quality without spending insane amounts of time on the forums.

OCC: Okay everyone stop their war machines and also Scellia alright got it. And also everyone except a few people here proably have seemded to be godmodding at least in my opionion. But, on the other hand this war is like a war of gods in some way so the only thing that needs to be fixed is more specfic rps.

I definately agree with that statement, and don't exclude myself. What do you think of my idea for the more detailed threads?

OCC: Yeah genrally it would get a little extreme let's not rp every battle, but a good battle rps are also very good so let's do that and also describe the effects of some of the super weapons or effectas of ships etc. so that there is less confusion.

((OC- Then I think things are settled. As for the GE and Republic, don't be so certain, as I can probably persuade them to participate, at the same time they have 'nothing' to do with each other, since their seperate fronts would be rediculously far apart.

The Ascendancy objective, I will say now, is to establish control of the Guardianship over some 20 Superclusters and command the largest known empire of light ever known.

but not really 'advertising' it all as such, since the Ascendancy is nothing more than the uber-scale version of the Old Republic before the Empire took over. (woth far less concentration on economy btw...) ))

OOC: dont worry Deatharon you will have The Dominion to aid one side not sure whitch you need to TG me on that.
