Tensions have been rising in the tiny nation of Numonaica, whose Hatarian-backed government wasn't the choice of the populace. Then the leader of the Popular Opposition in that country is assasinated, reportedly by Hatarian military forces.

This causes a popular uprising in the nation, one that normally would be crushed by the garrison of Hatarian troops, and the Government Police, except for the betrayal of the Numonaican Government of several of its uniformed military commanders, landing a good portion of the Numonaican infrastructure in the rebel hands.

Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, but tensions had been rising between various nations for quite some time - I've been roleplaying a passive resistance to Hataria for a while, though I forget why - and a few nations have taken the side of the rebels in Numonaica, clandestinly sending them funds and equipment.

Also, there exists a natural deposit of Unobtanium, a rare earth metal with amazing properties that usually is very expensive to manufacture, in Numonaica, hence the Hatarian presence.

So, on one side, you have the Central Powers, led by Hataria, who are trying to stabalize the situation in Numonaica. This alliance has been standing for some time between a few nations, but with the recent tensions rising, more nations have been joining.

On the other side is the Grand Alliance, formed of likeminded states who, for various reasons, wants to see Hataria out of Numonaica, and a popular government installed in that nation - for the simple fact of supporting nationalist governments, or to get an open sample of Unobtanium. This alliance doesn't exist at the time of the start of the Numonaica Crisis, but a clear group of nations that have the mutual goal exist.

then came the day that started it all, In Numonaica, The High Duke, Giani Viyo and his Wife were on a Trip though Numonaica in a Car, waveing to a cword when a Person Shot him and his Wife.

This was a Insult to The Imperial Court. The Empress Serena sent a List of Demands to Numonaica, but that Nation refused them.

Hataria soon Declared War.

and the First Nation State War Begun.....

The Dominion looked on, and its merchants began mentally counting the spoils that war would bring them...

The Kraven Corporation makes a Public statement:

The Assassination of The High Duke and his wife will not be tolerated, and the attacks upon Hataria have not gone un-noticed, in response to these attacks the Corporation has been forced to Declare war on Numonaica, and will back up the Hatarian Government indefinatly, to finish... All Kraven Forces have been mobilised.

The full moon shone over the jungle and on the Imperial Palace, a streak of silver found its way through the heavy crimson curtains and into the royal bedroom where the Dictator slept on his golden bed. But what's this!? The sound of army boots running on the marble floor. It can't be, nobody would dare to disturb the Dictator's slumber.

''Have there been any dramatic changes in the interstellar politics, general? Why do you disturb my slumber?'' asked the Dictator lazily.

''Great sire, there seems to be trouble in Numonaica on the planet Earth, one of the Lesser Worlds.''

''How is this a concern to the Empire? Ypu shpuld know general, that if I find that you have disturbed me for nothing you will be beheaded in a most gruesome way!'' the Dictator replied while wiping the sleep out of his eyes.

''The nation is one of Earths largest sources of Unobtanium, a very rare metal with amazing properties...''

''Are we importing Unobtanium, general?'' interrupted the Dictator.

''Not officially...'' answered the general truthfully.

''I see.'' said the Dictator with a faint smile.
''Keep monitoring the situation, if it would develop out of hand you will intervene.''

''Yes, sire.'' said the general and hurried out for he had much to do this morning, first he would convince his comrades in the Special Operatoins Departement On Foreigners that they should aim at resolving the situation peacefully, should there ever be a situation, and if diplomacy fails what weapons could be used against Lesser Worlders.

The day following the declaration of war, in The Mercenary State of Nation of Fortune, a soldier that looked to be about twelve confidently stepped into the commandants office. Cyrus turned around, with his back facing the window that overlooked Madra city and glanced at the young soldiers three stripes and a diamond. "What is it?" he asked the young man.

"SIR! we have word that a massive war has just broken out between Hataria and Numonaica. Their are already many countries siding on both sides, it seems like this war may go on for many years. What are your orders?"

Trilly stood up, walked around to the other side of the desk, and gave the young seargent a deathly stare. The young man gave the cougar no attention.

"Send about fifty cells to keep an eye on the situation for us," he took a step foreward, "also send out word to leaders on both side about our services. The usual message, those who respond first, or with a substantial amount higher will win our elite services."

"Right away sir, and what of the operatives we already have stationed there?"

"Have them extract ASAP. If extraction is not possible, have them join the nearest cells. I'm assuming they were for that assassinationi detail?"

"That is correct sir, I will relay this information to my commanding officer."

The sergeant walked out of the room, leaving Cyrus alone Trilly.

Raining as it were, deft drops of water pouring tenaciously down the soft, but strong windowsills, people whispering in the cold foggy air, as their breath fumed out fogs of warmth, and the icy air prosed a great deal of comfort, on this sun-bearing day, the rays from the omniscious star beating down with utmost brutality on their backs. Yet even nature itself could not return to a place where it had died once.

For inside the bleak, broken wastelands and the infertile soils, the murky, poisoned waters and the ravaged hills and mountains, splintered trees felled by their choppers, deposits of beautiful steel, gold and silver, plentiful without drainage in sight, full of miners, complacent and hard-working, in peaceful demeanor of the outside, in this isolationalist country, as it's eyes watched with interest in far off battles.

However, one certain escapade, a single kind of war that had attracted his insight and appreciation from atop his tower, crafted in stone and metal, from flesh and bone, was a certain war that envoked itself upon many nations that had seen Jenrak in many different views. In some, they were allies to the erstwhile nation, to others Jenrak was yet jsut another monster of grief and terror; for too often that these such tyrants rose, and such tyrants fell. Gleeming across the ocean, listening to radio waves across the sea, watching the everchanging news, Arborgard, ruler of Jenrak, saw with a vicious glare within his eyes, a disturbing uprising that would upheave the fragile world into another war as he knew it. For he was no seer, but he knew how dangerously weak the links of internationalism between all nations was, and he saw that foolish repentance was of somthing unneeded.

Standing still on his tower, he summoned with a stern nobility in his voice, his favourable generals to his heeled side. "Send all the gold and red Patriarchs and Matriarchs to me, now." He ordered, as an obedient voice rang onto the communications;

"Yes, Lord."

With those two words, he waited patiently until the pounding of feet exiting the elevator near him and stood behindh im an orderly fashion, awaiting their orders.

"You have called us, my lord?" The foremost of his warriors spoke, a cunning general who had proclaimed himself as Nahk Territurari, half machine in such terms that he was sustained quite vigoriously on life support, as wires and metal latches were sodered onto his burning face, and armor strapped tightly onto his mechanical arm. "We are here to serve."

"Good, my warriors." Arborgard spoke with such entrailing interest, where his eyes watched all of his special minions stand in order, and awaited his commands. "I want all of the Gold Counts to prepare a red stance in offensive. Place your armies on alert."

"Why, my liege?" Nahk asked as the Gold Patriarchs stood there, unwavering and motionless in their shiny robes, glistening with a fervent gloss and elegant cape.

"Because, dear Nahk," He started, "I wish for us to make a side in this war. I intend to show them how the Jenrakian military functions."

"Would that have bearing on our stature in the world?" Nahk asked his king.

"No, it would not. The tyrannical forces of this world see us as one thing and one thing only: biological weaponry. That is our greatest achievements, and our only achievement to prove ourselves on the international scale. And yet..." he turned around to face the dipping sunny horizon, a look of thought and calculative persona blinking in his eyes for a sheer second, before he spoke, "...we must do more. To destroy, and rebuild." He said, in an awe of his own.

"Yes, Lord." Nahk spoke to his lord, and backed away.

"The lead of this will be the Gold Patriarch Vazanhim." Arborgard consorted to him. "All Gold Patriarchs, ready your armies."

The general, his name was Two-Teeth, had reached an agreement with his fellow members of the SODOF.

''The nation of Hataria has declared war on Numonaica, our primary source of Unobtanium, and we must react swiftly if we are to avoid direct confrontation.''

''Why should we avoid confrontation? Let them wear themselves out against our lines and then have them do our bidding I say.'' said an admiral.

''They are both located on a Lesser World called Earth, we would not be able to wage space wars and thus loose our main advantage.''

Loose our main advantage? Preposterous, we can still bombard them from a geosynchronized orbit.''

No, we cannot. Our missiles aren't failsafe and if even a single one of them is a dud Hataria would be able to duplicate them and turn our own weapons against us, and if we loose even one of our vessels to a Lesser World we would be laughed at by the intergalactic community.''

''But we can still wage war on the ground, general. You haven't forgotten your precious army have you, or the Marine Corps perhaps?''

''We can wage war by Lesser World means, that is true. But it would put a strain on our supply lines if we are going to ship men and materials from here and to Earth. We would probably be able to make it despite that but they still have the advantage of knowing the terrain better than we, and they are defending their homes, not fighting abroad. A war would be costly admiral, trust me.''

''You're growing weak, Two-Teeth!''

''Enough!'' interrupted the head of the council.
''We have heard enough and have decided to prioritize a diplomatic solution. We will send a message to Hataria and tell them to back down from their claims and withdraw from Numonaica.''

****TRANSMISSION FROM RELATIVE LIBERTY****
Greetings Lesser Worlders and nation of Hantaria!
We are the Greater Nation of Relative Liberty, an empire far beyond the realm of your solar system.

****END OF TRANSMISSION****

''Take this and send it to the government of Hantaria.'' said the councilmember and handed a disc to the admiral.
The admiral and Two-Teeth left the chamber, leaving the cyborg council to discuss in private in their lair of lifesupporting machines and equipment that covered the walls of their small odeon-like room.

Lanquassian Government Denounces Hatarian Actions in Numonaica

July 21st, Government House, Imperial City

Just as reports reach Lanquassia of further looting, rioting, and chaos in the formerly orderly nation of Numonaica, and of the massacre of populist Numonaican freedom fightes by Hatarian troops attempting to reinstate the previous regime, President Blake and the full Cabinent, appearing for the first time in one spot since the Restoration, denounced the Hatarian government in a scathing speech.

"Just as we, just before the restoration, were fighting for peace and stability, the people of Numonaica are fighting for the freedom to rule themselves. We were lucky; without any tangible resources such as oil to attract the eye of foreign imperalistic powers. Numonaica was not so lucky, and has been under the heel of a government that is no more but a puppet for Hatarian interests.

"The people of Numonaica are now fighting for the right to decide how to rule themselves, a dream that is being crushed under the booted heel of Hatarian military oppression. Day by day, hour by hour, reports reach my desk stating once again, Numonaican freedom fighters are being shot and killed by Hatarian troops, that hospitals are being bombed, and that even those who just wish to live their lives are being forced to choose.

"This puts Lanquassia in a position, do we turn from the plight of the Numonaican people, or do we remain true to our ideals, our morals, our guiding light that led us through the chaos years? For me, and the Government, this isn't a choice.

"As of this moment, all Hatarian civilians in Lanquassia are expelled, all treaties with Hataria are cancled, and all coporations and industries in Lanquassia are banned from trading with Hataria. The Government is encouraging several other nations to do the same. We are also mobilizing the Second, Third, and Fourth Armies, nearly five million men and women, and placing them on active duty.

"This does not mean we are at war, we do not have the capability or capacity to project these armies away from Lanquassian soil. It is only a sign to show to Hataria, saying, 'The people of Lanquassia see you, acknowledge you, and will not submit to you.'

"Thank you for your time."

The Times has noted that the Second, Third, and Fourth armies are being reactivated, a process that will take some time and hamper the Lanquassian economy.

Similar sentiments are being shown in several countries around the world, and it is assumed by the Times it is these countries that the Government will be going to about the Numonaican Crisis, although it is not known at this time if the Government will approach our traditional allies of Credonia, Camewot, and Vastiva for assistance.

We at the Times, however, are praying that this will all end in peace.

--==| Secret IC letter to all nations on the Grand Alliance listing |==--

To the Governments above; Greetings.

I am John Blake, President of Lanquassia. By now you know of the situation in Numonaica, and the Hatarian response to that situation. What you do not know is that I have deployed several battalions of the Lanquassian Special Forces JOAT and Pathfinder teams to Numonaica to assist the rebels. I have also forwarded them funds and supplies for the fight against Hataria.

We all have our various reasons for seeing Hataria out of Numonaica. Lanquassia's is simple, we wish to see Hataria weakened so that another power may take them out. We have come close to blows before, and it is my deepist wish that I could trade them with Hataria, blow for blow, but my nation is simply too small.

However, I do propose an alliance of sorts between our nations, to help contain and fight Hataria and the Central Powers, should this crisis some to that point.

I do look forward to your response;

John Blake
President, Republic of Lanquassia

--==| War Room, Government House, Imperial City, Lanquassia |==--

"Okay Carol, can you give me an update on the situation?" President Blake asked wearily. It had been a long day since the start of the Numonaican Crisis, and even longer since the assasination, and the President looked like he had been up the entire time.

"Well, first off, we have two full divisions of JOAT and Pathfinder teams, and one understrength Alioth Pathfinder division in Numonaica, assisting the rebel forces. They're well supplied as it is. Aside from that, we've got no assets in Numonaica," the Minister of War said. "We're activating the Second, Third, and Fourth Armies to send over there while the rebels still hold a deepwater port, osteniably to enforce the peace under the Blake doctrine."

Minister of State Stephen Wurtz inserted a question, "Is it possible that one of LSF teams assasinated the Hugh Duke? Giani Viyo had ordered some... disturbing actions, and I wouldn't put it past an LSF team to take the war to them personally..."

General Neela Dumont, head of the Lanquassian Special Forces Command, shook his head sadly, "It is possible. I gave orders to each officer in the LSF to not assasinate any politicals, but they're not supermen, they're human. After what the High Duke ordered... I wouldn't blame them, sir, and no Lanquassian court would."

President Blake nodded, then turned to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. "Charles, what about our allies? Any response yet to this escelation?" He asked quietly. If Lanquassia was to take on Hataria and the Central Powers, they'd need allies - and lots of them.

Minister Aufmann nodded, "Yes. One, so far, but its too early to form a basis. An FT Nation, Relative Liberty, has given an ultimatium, withdraw or we'll delcare war. If they follow through, thats as good as a direct ally."

The President nodded, "Theres not much we can do on the economic or military front, and intel is just getting started... Charles, press our allies hard. I want a formal decleration of the founding of the Grand Alliance to Restore Peace in Numonaica in four hours."

A Grand Alliance - Prelude to War?

Earlier today, we reported that the Government has publically condemed the nation of Hataria for their actions in the nation of Numonaica, and had placed an embargo on that nation. Now, the Government has decided to take a step further.

President John Blake has proclaimed that Lanquassia intends to form and lead a Grand Alliance to Restore Peace in Numonaica. Citing the chaos and lack of rule of law in the nation, President Blake asked for international assistance to 'Restore the peace, soverignity, and popular government of Numonaica.'.

In a related press release, the Government has admitted to plans to deploy the Second and Fourth Armies into Numonaica, to better assist in this endevour.

Does this mean war with Hataria? We at the Times can only hope not.

--==| OOC Info Listing |==--

Breakdown of Lanquassian armies, the Second Army as an example:

2nd Republican Army (General Thomas Kincade)
1,000,000 Regulars in Five Divisions (Standard Lanquassian Infantry)
4th Imperial City, 200,000 Regulars (HQ Battlion Attached)
5th Imperial City, 200,000 Regulars (Engineering Battalion attached)
3rd Bailon, 200,000 Regulars (Engineering Battalion Attached)
7th Ruatha, 200,000 Regulars (Artillery Battalion Attached)
1st Bariton, 'The Ghostkillers', 200,000 Elite Regulars (2nd Pathfinder Battlion Attached)*

*Replace with 200,000 Regulars and an Artillery Battalion in the 3rd and 4th armies

Divisions are broken down further into Battalions, Companies, Squads. Each Division has a specialist battalion attached to it, either HQ (The staff for the General and the entire army), Engineering (Army Corp. Engineers, basically), Artillery (We're talkin' 1960s Korean War era, sadly), or a Armored Cavalry unit (Currently none deployed with the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th armies). Or, alternativly, they may have a Special Forces battalion attached to them, such as the 1st Bariton.

Example of a LSF Battalion

Eighth JOAT Battalion (Major Marvin Rutherford, Detached Duty)
3 Companies of 5 Squads of Seven Men each, Squads on Detached Duty.

Current deployments in Numonaica:

The 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 12th JOAT (Jack of all Trade) Battalions, Companies on detached duty;

The 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 19th Pathfinder (Terrain Specialist) Battalions, Companies on detatched duty;

The 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Tuantican Pathfinder (Jungle/Forest/Wildnerness specialist) Battalions, Squads on detached duty.

The Dictator rose from his seat in the War Room, a circular room in the Imperial Palace dominated by a large round table with several holographic displays, interfaces and communication systems.
''Have the third and second regiment prepare for action and make ready an invasion squadron of the Spacefleet.'' he said with a tone of authority in his voice.
The other officers all went silent and stared at him.
''Sire, we haven't even had any reply from Hantaria and all plans discussed here are merely for...''
''Silence! I have a feeling that Hantaria is not going to cease hostilities.''
The field marshalls and admirals shook their heads, when the Dictator ''had a feeling'' about something he would take whatever precausions he saw fit to prevent something from happening, and obeyed the order.

OOC: My entire Military is in this.

Henry Taylor (As off duty naming standards required) was the team leader of what was to be designated Alpha Command group for this war. The fateful event occured as he and several colleagues were preparing to spend a long holiday on Earth, in a tiny backwater nation.

As luck would have it, this seemingly quiet nation was suddenly the center of attention, and no reinforcements would be available for weeks.

Worse still, the place had drawn the attention of the Cassiopeian Galaxy (They expend two hundred times more on the Military than the Imperial Empire!) and its massive hordes were approaching. Granted, it would take only take a few well entrenched units to destroy the vast bulk of their ground forces, but nevertheless, a problem.

Henry decided the more troops that beat the Cassiopeians to the planet, the better, even if only Battle droids. Battle droids would be preferable, as they had been working on some combat subroutines for Automatons recently.

"This is PSKI-1732, contacting Command."

"This is Command, Acknowleging Military Personnel. Shouldn't you be on holiday?"

"Something came up, and we heard the Cassiopeians were on the way."

"We picked up on the huge warp signatures around their Galaxy."

"Anyway, they're probably going to be able to hold a blockade for a while, so we need as many troops down here as possible within maybe a couple of weeks."

"We could stamp out a couple of thousand of those 'Battle Droid' things, and give them a good battle AI. They're kinda flimsy, but they can hold quite a bit. There's an Artillery battery of about 40 out training nearby, so I'm transferring command of them to you."

"It'll have to do. Send as many as you can along with chain lasers, plasma rockets, Rail rifles, you know, heavy weapons. Bring Plasma Assault rifles too, we might need to recruit from the civilian populace."

"Very good, you're getting the hand of things. We can get a mobile command vehicle down to you with the droids, should keep you in one piece if you don't try to take on a tank with it. We'll send attack vehicles and tanks as soon as we can. Command out."

"<font size=8>Thanks, boss.</font>"

Now there was nothing to do but wait.

Henry and his team sat down for a game of cards. It would be the last they would have for a long time.

OOC: The forces that will be in play by the time the battles begin -

Around 2,500 Improved AI Battle Droids
1 Mobile Command Vehicle with Automated Chainguns
40 Mobile Howitzer Buggies (see post in OOC thread)

A large Ambassadorial Transport docked onto the space station of A.S.S. Martha, fifteen smaller warships surrounding thespace station. The warships were heavily armored with three or four different shield generators around it and hidden weaponry everywhere. Deadly ships for some, but now only used to escort the King to where the Achleonian Grand Monarchy once stepped into the black, deep space...

20-25 red-suited soldiers marched in a strickt line down the corridors, the King in the middle of the group. Civilian populace of the space station couldn't help but wonder why this would be happening. Actually, even the King himself didn't know. The group stopped and let Marcus Anthonius pass into a large, dark room, a table in the middle of it and a platform above the door for the King.
The men around the table jumped up and saluted. "You highness, what a pleasant surprise" the most highly ranked said, taking a step forwards from the others.
"Yes, for you it might be, but why did all my reports just shout at me that I should come here and take a look personally?" Marcus Anthonius said and looked at the men coldly after walking up the stairs and onto his chair. His left hand pressed a button on the armchair and the stairs rolled up, leaving no route up onto the platform.
"Your higness, I don't know what-"
"Do not play games with me, Grand Colonel. I did not grant you that title to give you rights to lie to me"
The Grand colonel sat down, stunned of the King's voice booming in the room. The others followed and a holographic screen popped up on the wall.
"I'm talking about this, grand colonel. I want to know about this sudden obilization of armies in many nations, including ours"
"Your highness... We were only preparing if we would get any attacks. We cannot let those barbarians take the small piece of land that we still have on our ancestral home"
"But why did you not consult me? I have a system out there, waiting for my orders, but I must come here and solve problems on out ancestral home, a land that doesn't even cover 1/10 of this planet"
The room went silent, the holographic screen changed into army listings and history for the last few months on Earth. The king looked at the screen with an interested look on his face.
"Allright, then... I shall stay here and observe how this continues to evolve. If they come into our land, they shall taste their own medicine with a jump of lightyears. Send a message to Grand Admiral and tell him that we need to get transports ready. Ship all our troops from Tellus Achle and bring them here" the King said and pressed a button on the armchair agan, a small hologram of a military officer appearing infront of him.
"Get my SS-regiment into their mobile suits. We're sending them down if any violations are made against our airspace"
"Yes, sire!" The hologram cracled shut and the king leaned back with a smile on his face. This might be his SS-regiment's first tryout. After this... There will be no more Beta versions

A.S.S. = Achleonian Space Station
SS-regiment = Super Soldier regiment

The Tellus Achlean army is large. It has over 20 million troops, highly trained and non-humanoid. Tellus Achleans have strong resemblances towards cat's, ants or bears, the army concisting of those that look like bears. Their combat suits are brown with blood-red symbols on them, the lines on their sleeves usually meaning of their rank in the style of "more the lines, higher the rank".
The highest rank in this army is High Lieuetant, which is basically a General but works in the field.

Ask me about anything if you need to know. I'll add it up at some point. Right now, the army listings aren't really needed on my part as no hostilities have been committed to the Achleonians

the high pretorian Gedarin began rubbing his hands. he had recently recieved word of the escalating troubles on Earth. for some years now Salatoria had been building their military forces in preparation for a war but as of yet the salatorian high command had yet to find excuse for one.

'the Unobtanium is the perfect excuse. considering it is one of our most prised imports we can strive to protect or intrests'

the people of salatoria felt that their nation was on the move towards peacful democracy and while the pretorian had installed his 'new way' programme he had kept himself at the top of the political hyarachy.


the secutary shuffled into the room, nudging his way past the two very large soldiers at the door.


salatoria had emerged 10 years previously from what became know as 'the dark age' this was an era of tumoil where the nation had fought within itself and all government funds had been channeled stright into the building of a vast army. they had made many break-throghs to try and bring their nation on par with those of other worlds surrounding them. but the most notable of these projects had been their super soldier project. this project had produced soldiers who were perfectly suited to war in any enviroment but were highly unstable. it is two of these SS men who blocked the doorway into the office

'secutary take down a message to be set to the Hatarian leader'

'sir'

'we, in the Grand Duchy of Salatoria, are apaulled by the recent assasination of The High Duke and would like to pledge our support agains't the rogue state of Numonaica. we would like to add that if this incident escalates any furthur that it already has, we are fully prepared to aid your efforts in any way including military ones'

the pretorian sat back into his chair and swivled around to look out the large window behind him. from this height you could see the entire capital

'i have a feeling that he is going to take us up on our offer'

a small, dark coated man stepped out from the shadows to the pretorians left 'should i issue a call to arms?'

'yes vassleman i believe you should'

It is inevitable, my tiny nation will be watching the events with interest! Our Governadorcillo Primo de Alcaraz and Prime Minister James Van Gagoh declared neutrality on the event. But is also seeking help in case and will defend our shores just in case ANY MILITARY FORCE ALLIED OR CENTRAL WAS SPOTTED BY OUR RADARS WITHIN 500 KILOMETRES OF OUR OUR BORDERS REGARDLESS OF INTENT.

I request all combatants to send their plans in event that they will seek friendship with this sovereign country. Our Capital City, Gen. Forbes Military City is on high alert status and WILL engage any military force that does not respond within two hours of our notice,via satellite communication.

It is with utmost intent that I have already instructed my Commandants to set up defence barriers and anti-aircraft and seashore batteries to all 25,000 kilometers of sealine and will activate 3 million reserves to active duty starting tomorrow. I have also instructed my Minister for Information Technology to upgrade all other units manned and unmanned.

People working in the Agricultural, Food/Textile/Electronics Manufacturing, and War Materials would still be going to work. And Children under 15 years old shall be employed to the Milking Industry particularly getting fresh milk from cows for our soldiers. Schools will be open only from Monday and Tuesday. And on Thursdays to Saturday, teachers and professors will be working with government and private scientists in doing "social welfare development".

I REPEAT WE ARE NEUTRAL AND WILL OBSERVE THIS WAR WITH CAUTION. TODAYS ENEMIES CAN BE TOMORROWS FRIENDS.

In the Imperial War Room the Dictator and his closest advisors watched the the Hatarian mobilization.
''Mobilize the Spacefleet, the Army and the Marine Corps. Send the prepared invasion squadron to Earth and repeat our ultimatum.'' said the Dictator calmly. The communication officers sent the order to the Relativity station in orbit around Liberty One and the invasion carrier USSRLSC Eagle and its escort of eight destroyers of the Jaguar class and two heavy cruisers of the Juvenile class emerged into hyperspace, bound for Earth and Hataria.

As they emerged just outside the solar system a message was sent, giving Hataria one last chance.

The Cassiopeian Fleet soon Dropped out of Hyperspace just near Earth, Darth Bankai him self was Commanding this Fleet. The Dark Lord of the Sith soon felt a Disturbist in the Force.....another Fleet was here.

"Sir" a Officer said, "enemy Ships outside the System." This was not going to happen "Send a Transmission to the enemy ships to back down."

*******Transmission to Alien Fleet*****************

I am Darth Bankai, Dark Lord of The Sith and Ruler of The Cassiopeian Empire. We come from another Galaxy and we have a Large fleet. Back down now or face the Power of The Dark Side.

**************End Transmission****************************

The communication officers rerouted the message to the Imperial War Room, using an encrypted signal, where it was displayed for the Dictator.
''Have the troops ready to be launched unto Numonaican soil and have the rest of the fleet stand by for deployment.'' ordered the Dictator.
The officers nodded and sent the message to the Eagle, which then sent it to the Cassiopeian fleet, and sent the Dictator's order of third degree mobilization to the Army, the spacefleet and the Marine Corps.

****TRANSMISSION FROM RELATIVE LIBERTY****
Greetings Cassiopeians! We will not back down, we are here to protect the soverignity of Numonaica and to make sure that the peoples wishes are obeyed. If you attack us or our troops we will consider it a declaration of war on the USSRL and will respond with brute force.
****END OF TRANSMISSION****

Aboard the invasion carrier the invasion force were made ready for deployment, the infantry boarded the Hawk class drop ships and the engineers made some final checks on the mechs, tanks and artillery pieces before they were loaded on empty Hawks.
Outside, in space, the escort ships formed a hemisphere around the invasion craft to protect it from Cassiopeian fire.

"This is Bomber wing 8, we are prep'd for go, do we have a green light air command?"

"That is a green light for take off Wing 8"

"Thankyou Air Command"

"Good Luck Wing 8"

the bomber wing taxied onto the run way, their target is Numonica, bombing of military installations and air fields in the hope that they could be caught out in a surprise bombing raid.

the first bomber began to move down the runway, its powerfull engines hammering it into the sky, as its nose gently pulled up lifting the craft away from the tarmac, a few hundered feet in the air and its undercarraige was moved into the storage position...

the other craft followed suit, moving onto the runway and quickly powering down the runway and joining the formation, that was now cruising towards their targets

ETA 6 hours

''Captain, our scanners have detected a large formation of aircraft heading for Numonaica, estimated time of arrival is eh... six or seven hours sir.'' reported a young field intelligence officer aboard the invasion carrier Eagle.

''Be prepared to launch the invasion force on my command, and keep observing the aircrafts. Send a signal to Numonaica to and warn them that they have bogie aircraft going towards their airspace.''

''Yes sir!'' replied the officer and walked out of the Bridge Observation Room and continued to Field Intelligence Departement where he ordred the communication officers to send a warning to Numonaica and a report to the HQ on Liberty One.

30 Vilencian Heavy Troopships exited hyperspace and sped towards the planet

"Attention relative Liberty forces, Cover us while we land on the planet."

****END OF TRANSMISSION****

"We are on your side, and we are attempting To land in Hataria"

30 Vilencian Heavy Troopships exited hyperspace and sped towards the planet

"Attention relative Liberty forces, Cover us while we land on the planet."

the Cassioepeian Fleet soon Sent out the Fighters, The Fleet was now heading for the 30 Troopships, these Fly wouldn't be a match against the Armada.

"Destroy them!" Darth Bankai ordered as the Ships opened Fire, Ion Cannons and Turbolasers Blasting. the Fighters Fired their repeating Blaser Cannons at the troopships.

((OOC: you should know better than to attac kunkown ships))

As soon as the Cassiopeans opened fire, A large Moon exited hyperspace. The MorNova. It immediatly Began firing Its turbolasers and wissle launchers, while charging its main weapon. THe troopships opened up with large amounts of CIWS fire." Relative liberty hold off the cassiopean fleet till the mornova can fire."

The Libertarian ships opened fire on the Cassiopeian and sent a call for help to the headquarters on Liberty One.
Using the battle as a divertion, the invasion carrier sent all of the invasion force to Numonaica whilst alerting the Numonaican people that they had come to aid them in their struggle against oppression.

****TRANSMISSION FROM RELATIVE LIBERTY****
The time has come fro us to openly declare our support for the Numonaican people. We will view any and all attacks on Numonaiaca, or nations trying to help the Numonaican people, as direct attacks on the forces of Relative Liberty and we will react according to this.
We hope that all nations that values peace and prosperity will join us in our fight against the Hatarian oppression.
****END OF TRANSMISSION****

In the War Room the reports of the battle had justed reached the ears of the Dictator when he ordered the fleet to be deployed. Half the fleet was launched from the Relativity station and headed for Earth in hyperspace.

The time had come. The Mor Nova was ready for firing. its outer shell broke off, revealing it to be a Death star (Obvious, Mor is latin for death, and nova is latin for star. well sorta.)) It fired its Superlaser at the nearest Cassiopean ship, as 50 Vilencian ISD's and 60 Vilencian VSD's exited hyperspace, alond with 70 correlian corvettes.

((OOC: you should know better than to attac kunkown ships))

As soon as the Cassiopeans opened fire, A large Moon exited hyperspace. The MorNova. It immediatly Began firing Its turbolasers and wissle launchers, while charging its main weapon. THe troopships opened up with large amounts of CIWS fire." Relative liberty hold off the cassiopean fleet till the mornova can fire."

896 Fighters were heading for the Moonship MorNova to knock out the superweapon, but something else then appeared. It looked like a Moon, but in fact it was no moon, It Was a Space Station! the Death Star that the Cassiopeian had built had come though Hyperspace (OOCI saw Star Wars and read about The Death Star on www.starwars.com ok?)

The Battle Station was now Chargeing up it's Superlaser targeting the enemy Moonship

120 Fighters destroyed.

The Mor Nova/ Death Star 3 Targeted its superlaser on the other death star and charged up. Meanwhile, The vilencian troopship had entered the atmosphere, but were forced to land in Numoniaca. The Vilencian fleet Engaged in combat with the cassiopean fleet.

the bomber wing swung low, the formation being held as they skimmed a hundered meters above the sea, the flew low to avoid radar detection, it was standard procedure,

"how long until we reach target zones?"

"4 hours"

"Good, Keep a watch out for enemy fighters"

"Aye"

"Check the payload, bombardier"

"Ok Captain"

the bombardier headed down into the bay in the fuslage, racks and racks of bombs were stored ready to be disgorged unto an unsuspecting enemy, the bombardier flipped open a pannel and started checking bomb diagnostics, everything checked out green, it was all good, after making sure all was ok, the bombardier headed back up to the flight deck

"Captain, all bombs are green, Ill arm them 2 hours from the drop zone"

"Very good Bombardier"

the wing continued to cruise at this height, powerfull engines sending them to their targets...

The Libertarian drop ships entered the atmosphere and began its decension to Numonaican soil where the troops would construct a temporary base.
A message was sent to Numonaican resistance groups that told them to cooperate.

OOC: What's the general terrain of Numonaica?

((ooc: id say like france.))

The Vilencian troopships were not far behind, and were carrying one fourth of the vilencian Army. In orbit, The Mornova Fired its Superlaser at the Death Star, As The vilencian Command and Controle Eclipse class SSD Charybodis Exited hyperspace.

OOC. Drunken frenchmen, riot police, mountains, lakes and cities.

The dropships circles the LZ, waiting for the rest of the fleet.

The Vilencian Troopships landed and began deploying troops and materials, such as Dark trooper phase 5's , and numerous stormtroopers.IN orbit, the battle was gong farely well.

Deep within the Earth, something slumbered; its age-long rest undisturbed for thousands of years.....

Bel-Shamharoth, Demon-God King of the Eastern Wastes, slept in this cavern for millenia. Saving the outcast factions of Massivetopia from death on the barren plains, it rested after ruling for a thousand years, vowing to rise again and spread the fires of Hell to every corner of the world. Now the land above was governed by the beaurocracy-choked dictatorship, their sacrificial religion maintaining but a whisper of his incredible power.

However, things were about to change.

Unobtanium mining is a messy business; siesmic charges must be planted thousands of feet underground. These man-made tremors had awoken the creature from its eternal slumber. It was time to go to war......

--==|Military Mobolisation and Movement Orders|==--
--==|Second, Third, Fourth Republican Armies|==--
--==|By the Order of the President of Lanquassia|==--

Officers of the Second, Third, and Fourth Republican Armies.

By now, your troops should have all assembled, and you should have started the issueing of equipment, where needed, for combat duty. Here are the orders.

The Second, Third, and Fourth Armies are to embark the Republic of Lanquassia Merchant Marine Fleet, and from there travel to Numonaica at top speed. Exact orders for path and direction are being forwarded to the RLMM commanders. We are also putting what there is of our Navy on the line, including the Pocket-Carrier prototype C6 Manta. We will attempt to provide air support as far long the route as possible, but we can only cover one third the distance with land based aircraft.

Upon reaching Numonaica and debarking, you are to immedialty contact the Interem Populist Government of Numonaica, and inform them that Lanquassian Regulars have arrived to assist in the maintence of order in Numonaica.

If a confrontation with Hatarian and Central Power forces comes about, do not, repeat do not start hostilities. Similar orders are being relayed to the current LSF forces in Numonaica.

Accompying you are our new Light Infantry Vehichles. They're not effective against armored units, but they are useful against infantry. We have two battalions worth being shipped with you; its not much but its our entire supply.

Trust yourselves, trust your squadmates, and trust in our allies, and let us all pray that this doesn't come to a war between alliances.

Signed,
John Blake.
--=||==--

OOC: Unless someone does something to interupt the journy of the Lanquassian military, I will be RPing their arrival in the next post.

the salatorian fleet hovered just out of terran space. the preator drummed his fingers agains't the arm of his command chair.

'have the Hatarians replied yet?'

'no sir, they don't seem to have recieved or communication'

''your telling me that we made the call to arms and travelled several hundred light years before they recieved that communication'

'yes sir'

'fine then, we must decide wether to intervien or not withot premission then'

if the salatorian fleet was to aid in the battle then there could be sevear political reprucussions without having a motive for war

Vassleman stepped again from the pretorians left and whispered in his ear
'sir the Cassioepeians could be a powerful ally, if we aid them agains't that battle station, we could earn their trust.'

it was true, the Cassioepeian fleet was engaging what seemed to be a large battlestation, so large infact that the scanners were fooled into thinking a large moon had moved out of hyperspace. the fighters that they were using didn't seem to be having much of an effect agains't the mighty death star.

'tell the Cassioepeians that we are engaging the battlestation. also please inform them that the Libertarian ships have slipped past them and have begun deploying.'

the fleet deployed into a standard formation of destroyers covering the main battleships which in turn were sheltering a force of blokade runners. the fleet then set its sights at Earth and started to slowly move through space..

The bomber wing began to gain some height as it approached a land mass,

"How long until target zone?"

"2 Hours"

"Good, Start Priming the bombs"

"This is Bomber wing 8 to Air command, we are 2 hours away from target"

"Confirmed Bomber Wing"

in each bomber the bombardiers began priming the bombs, so far no one had attempted to intercept them and the journey had been an easy one, he hoped it would be the same for the journy back.

"War has begun swift notions." Nahk told his legions, as they prepared themselves, under the guise and faintively attempting to gain more oil to further increase their military proficiency. "I highly doubt Jenrak will every involve themselves in this, but I believe we have a standoff of enough chemical weapons." He turned around, and laughed.

The bomber crew reached a new height, 1.5 miles, the optimum bombing height...

"Air Command We are over the Target zones, All bombs are prep'd and ready to go"

"Understood Bomber wing, Commence the Raid"

"Acknowleged Air Command"

the bombardier peered through the scope, below could be seen the houses, factories, roads, railways, cars drove down the streets, people too and fro'd

the bombardier waited...

"500.."

"400.."

"300.."

"Whats that?"

"Distance from target"

"200.."

"100.."

"Bay open.."

the bomber bay doors opened, revealing the 30 500lbs bombs inside, 480 bombs in total, from the entire bombing wing..

"Bombs away"

the first bomber let loose its payload, bombs fell with a frightening whistle, they shreiked through the sky to the unsuspecting facility below, the bombers were targeting a building belived to be a staging point for terrorist activities, and intel had indicated that it may be storage for petrol bombs and other terrorist equipment...

the bombardier watched through the scope as bombs impacted below, he watched the ripple of fire, and the sudden expansion of dust...

480 bombs dropped on the target location, this was no precision bombing, it was simply carpet bombing, they were garanteed to hit something

"Carpet bombing." Nahk spoke, as he watched them pound their foes with a barrage of bombs. "Perhaps they aren't as sophisticated as I thought."

((Ooc: which side ish jenrak?))

OOC: My own. I'm going to see which is more geared towards my views, and then join them. Right now I'm just observing and mobolizing.

OOC: whos controlling, Numonica forces?

OOC: whos controlling, Numonica forces?

OOC:don't know

OOC: I think Hataria is as an instigator. Unless I'm wrong.

From the Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Bonapuerta


Does anyone have the slightest idea who are the allies of Numonica?

And who are the allied forces against Numonica?

And why somebody is asking me if I did sign up...sign up for what?

****End of Communique****

The Cassiopeian Death Star was destroyed, but something escaped, 4,564 Shaman Fighters and 3,213 Black Moon Fighters had escaped the destuction of the Death Star.

Commander Kia'cia Mon'gol of the 123th Fighter Battle Group soon called out to the rest of the Fighters "Head for that Death Star, lets turn it to Trash." The Shah'reek female ordered. Soon the Fighters headed for the enemy Death Star.

The Fleet lost 1 ship but the rest continued the attack against the enemy, Landing ships heading for Numonaica. The Raven Fighters started attacking The enemy Ground Troops.

This was War.

1 Star Destroyer
231 Fighters.

The charybodis fired a massive Scattering ion beam at the new group of enemy fighters, causing heavy casualties to them

"Minister we have sighted a large fleet of Space flying vehicles at about 20,000 feet above sea level and approximately 3 kilometres from the ocean border of our Northeastern portion of the country" General Matimbog told the war council.

"What is the decision?" Minister of War Peralta demands.

"We had already sent them a message asking their intentions in nearly entering our airspace." Is the urgent reply of one of the subordinate JC's present.

"It is massive,with multiple flag markings on their ships must be a coalition of many countries."

"Is it a joint exercise?" Demand the PM.

"No sir, actually they are heading in the directionof Numonaica and Hataria." Matimbog answered.

"Give them a message of welfare to their trip and all the luck they can get, since I do beleive Hataria has Multi-Layer Nuclear Weapons in their arsenal" The PM said.

"We cannot verify that if it's true"

IC:
The Libertarian spacefleet emerged from hyperspace, leaving the distinct tube-like extension of reality which is the trademark of all Libertarian hyperspace generators.
The Star Lord aboard one of the Garithos class battleships gave the cassiopeians one last chance: surrender and cease your hostile actions or we will anihilate you.

the salatorian fleet closed at full speed on earth. the battle qickly came into view. the large battle station loomed over tha vast fleet of ships engaged with it. fighter wings were deployed and gun ports were opened ready to engae this formidable foe. suddenly the station exploded. the shockwave was enough to push even the vast salatorian main battle cruses off course.

the pretorian was astounded, somehow the Cassiopeian deathstar had been destroyed. behind the debris floating in the high atmosphere of earth the MorNova still remained. this was bad, not only had the Vilencians proved their strength but the fleet had lost a potentially powerful ally. but Vassleman wasn't unduely worried. he lent over and reminded the pretorian that the salatorians did have a few tricks of their own.

the fleet pulled back into formation and began their attack run again. it was too late to catch the landing forces but it wasn't too late to gain supremacy over the planet.

the energy signitures of the blokade runners suddenly bloomed, hiding the fleet from a exact scan. it was also the first stage of the salatorian's secret weapon

OOC: Who are you attacking?

ooc: Vilence. i though you had gone down onto the planet

OOC: The first two regiments are on the surface but half of my fleet is still in space and firing at the Cassiopeians and you.

ooc: thanks for the heads up

Deep in Numonaica soil a lady was walking about the capital. She looked as if she had walked about one hundred miles, which was utterly false, it was more like fifty. She had been dropped off near the border with one travelling partner who she would meet up with late at night several miles out of town. She would also meet with an operative that had just finished up a job. She was due for the latter in about twenty minutes in a cafe across the street. She didn't have to recognize him, as any mercenary in NoF knew who she was. She went in and sat down in the cafe.

A man looked at his watch, "3:15." He muttered a single word under his breath, "FUCK." He picked up his pace and headed towards the cafe. He arrived at 3:25, five minutes late. He scanned the room and saw her. He went down and sat next to her.

"You must have just got in," he said looking at her.

"Correct."

"Correct as well. Well, why don't we head on back to my place and have a little fun, babe?"

She bit her tongue, and with much restraint let out a soft giggle and nodded.

They both left and headed for an apartment building three miles away. When they got their it was obvious that it wasn't the best part of town, but they were going for low profile. They stepped into the apartment and no sooner than the door was closed did she have his back pressed up against a wall with a knife to his throat.

She growled, "don't you ever try a stunt like that again, EVER."

"Yes ma'am."

She released him and sat down on a ratty looking couch.

"You have taken care of the weapon, correct?" she said without glancing at him.

"Affirmative, I sold it to a man with connections around here, so if you happen to need anything, I know how to find him."

"Very good, now I am going to take a shower. If I so much as get the feeling that you are trying to peek in on me, I will kill you in the most painfull way possible, and I believe you know that I rather enjoy torturing people to death, even if it isn't my specialty." SHe picked up her bag and headed to the bathroom.

The Clone Troopers soon Got out of the Landers, they were 100 Miles from the enemy Captial city, The Walkers were Prepeared and the Clone Army of the Cassiopeian Empire marched to War.

The Fighters soon were near the enemy Death Star, they were ready to destroy it and then join in the rest of the Battle.

More Cassiopeian Ships droped out of Hyperspace, 2 Eclipse SSD and 10 Imperial Star Destroyers with 23 Triobite Class Frigates escourting them.

237 Fighters
2 Capital Ships
6 Frigates

The Libertarian invasion carriers formed up over Numonaica and the dropships began ferrying the troops to the surface, soon an entire division would have been deployed to protect Numonaican sovereignity, the largest deployment of military forces since the Great Patriotic War.

On the surface the dropships from the previous drops returned to their carrier to resupply, they were no longer needed for air support as ordinary carriers had come.

Back in space the fifteen carriers had deployed their fighter/bomber wings, which where now attacking the enemy fleets, while keeping their boarding craft on third degree security level.
The fifty battlehips formed up as a shield around teh carriers and the smaller crafts formed a sphere around them.
The order was given to fire at will and, as a single entity, the battleships, battlecruisers and heavy cruisers fired.

the blokade runner's energy levels started reaching the required level just as the fleet reached weapons range on the Vilence fleet. sddenly a large brst of light erupted off the port bow of the main battle cruser 'Harbriger' this was the opening barrage of the Libertarian fleet. this was to come as a great shock to the preator and even to Vassleman as they had compleatly neglected to search of any other enemies aside from the enemy battlestation. only one thing could save the fleet now as it had raised its deflector sheilds 100% on the bow of every ship to hold off the enemy main weapon.

the blokade runners wern't exactly as they seemed. they were infact a small fleet of highly experimental displacement generators disguised to look like low risk scout ships.

Vasssleman gave the order to use the secret weapon

the energy patterns of the entire fleet suddenly erupted and they seemed to become transparent for a few seconds, long enough for the enemy energy blasts to pass safly through the fleet. once the barrage passed the ships phased back into realspace.

the fleet had been saved bt it wouldn't be able to attempt a stunt like that again for atleast 24 hours.

'pull the fleet around to meet the Libertarians. the Cassiopeians can handle that battlestation. we need to meet that enemy fleet head on or we will loose this battle.' Vassleman shouted. the pretorian looked dumbfounded - he was a tyrant but a political one, he wasn't cut out for a real war!

OOC: Sorry it took me so long to reply for my first time.


Secret IC:
The Emporer first heard about this during his morning breakfast. It's been going on for a goddamn day and i wasn't informed. What fucking help i have here, He thought to himself. He was swiftly walking down the hall to the Imperial Watchroom. This was a room specifically designed to keep an eye on foreign affairs around the planet. He walked up to the door, grabbed the handle and angrilly pulled open the door. The door swung back around and slammed against the wall in the hallway. Everyone in the room snapped their heads toward the enterance to see Galen enter.

Galen: "What the fuck is going on? Why wasn't i notified about this when it started?"

Jerry: "We didn't think it was that big of a deal at first. An assasination of a leader is a regular occurance in the world. But this time the nation that had their leader killed declared war and others followed."

Galen: "I still should have fucking been informed. Whats the current situtation."

Steve: "Our latest satelite intel reports that the Hatarian Forces have begun mobilization and are currently en route to Numonaica. Space intel shows that a space battle has ensured as troop transport ships are trying to land on the planet. An other small skirmishes have begun."

Galen: "Whats the readiness of the Imperial Marines?"

Tom: "They are all prepared. We have called up around half of the Reserve Units to protect the Holy Empire against anything that trys to land. A total o 20 Million troops are currently active and ready for orders."

Galen walked back and forth as he thought of what would be the Holy Empire's next move. He looked over toward the giant map of earth and then sat down in his plush chair in the center of the room. What the fuck do i do now? Hataria is right in defending himself from these assclowns. Fuck. I wish i didn't have to do this type of thing this early in my career. He then stands up and walks over to Tom, Steve and Jerry.

Galen: "Prepare any and all standing forces that we have. Send a message to Hataria stating our intent to assist him in any way possible."

All 3 men: "Yes, Sir"

The TD Fleet appeared in space well out from the planet and any possible interdiction fields, it was a mishmahs of technologies, Terran and Protoss unitys flew side by side with Zerg and Sliver biologicals, and they were all accompanied by Manticoran ships, heavy on shields and firepower, but low on armor, they could take any blockade around this place, thousands of ships in one place, most of them small, fightrers and Gunships, but some were much larger, SD(p)s and Battlecruisers, CLACs and Carrier Variants, all were here to deal with the Hatarian Empire in a most permanent fashion.

Can't y'all just get along?
You're going to be sorry if I have to separate you kids!

OOC: Mini Miehm, you do realize that Honor Harrington ships are completely incapable of maneuvering in the atmosphere, right? Also, the X-ray laser bomb sats have the same type of warhead as Honor Harrington missiles use (not hard to do), just that they're more along the lines of guided mines than missiles.

**TRANSMISSION**

Axis Nova feels that it's interests would be best served by siding with Hataria in this conflict. As such, we are dispactching a full fifth of our military to attack the nation of Brittonians immediately, and further dispatching an entire fleet of our latest model airships-- including something which we have kept as a bit of a secret (but see no need to hold back) until now. This little "something" will be debuted when it reaches the battle area...


In Axis Nova, hundreds of transports and gigantic airships begin to lift off, their Tesla Turbines roaring as they loft themselves into the air, many headed to Brittonians and many more headed to Hataria to help in the battle area there.

---in space---

As enemy space units begin to enter the Earth's orbit, they recieve a most unpleasent greeting-- Axis Nova's SDI network, fully active and ready to present a warm presentation. While originally intended to engage ICBMs and other satellites, the network's numerous sensor systems has no trouble scanning and locking onto the fast-moving units headed in it's general direction.

Interceptor missiles and SOL laser satellites begin to engage anything they can reach-- while their power output and explosive capacity is somewhat puny compared to the vast firepower being fired back and forth by the gigantic space fleets, unfortunately for their targets, re-entering the atmosphere would likely both weaken any shield systems and require them to take rather predictable paths...

Then, as larger clusters of enemy units begin to enter range, bomb-pumped X-ray laser sats begin detonating, each one sending hundreds of X-ray laser blasts in every direction. Unlike the interceptor missiles and SOL satellites, these were indeed a serious threat-- despite the cruder construction and sensor capability compared to missiles mounting the same warheads, their destructive power would prove to be fearsome-- and there were so many of them, almost as if Axis Nova had been seeding them in orbit for DECADES. (it had ;) )

OOC: Dude, I'm not even moving insystem yet, I'm lightyears outside of Sol 3 orbit.

as laser cannons fired between the massive ships one of the numerious lieutenants in the control room of the flagship Harbriger stepped up to give his report to the preator.

'sir it seems that the landing ships from the enemy fleets have come under fire from orbital weapons platforms - this will delay their ground assult somewhat'

'excellent, this will give us some time to land our own troops - send a comunication to all the nations on that planet, i don't care if they might be allied to the ememy, they all should hear this anyway'

the preator was running on adrenalin now 'Vassleman should be doing this, not me - i'm a politician, not a warrior'

COMUNICATION
RECIEVER: ALL WAVELENGTHS, NO SPECIFIED TARGET

i am the preator of the salitorian grand duchy. we are here to aid the Hatarians in their struggle for peace. any nation that chooses to ally themselfs with Hatarian are our allies. any who choose otherwise prepare for destruction.

COMMUNICATION END

'hopefully that will ensure our landing craft don't suffer the same fate as those enemy ones, we have lost to many already'

--==|A port city in Numonaica|==--

Having arrived, the RLMM Fleet had started debarking its cargo - the three armies sent by Lanquassia to restore order in Numonaica. Their first act is to secure the port, then the entire city, and then fan out to secure other parts of Numonaica, raising the Numonican Populist Flag when they do secure an area.

--==||==--

OOC: Quickie arrival, I said I was arriving in my next post unless someone interacted, so...

And yes, this is after the carpet bombing.

The Planes circled round, looking at the devestation below...

"Air Command, payload has been dropped, returning to base"

"Understood Wing 8"

the planes started to gain height, incase numoncia defense forces had organised some AA on their way out of the combat zone...

A statment was made shortly after the Bomber crews had dropped the payload.

The Raid on Numonica was designed to eliminate a cell of terrorists belived to be operating out of a large warhouse in one of the smaller cities of Numonica, early reports suggest the attack was successfull, but as of yet the Numonican Government has not released an offical statement as to the casualties sustaind during the attack, the Corporation is not affraid to begin more raids, and is not affraid to mobilise its forces and begin the general attack on Numonica, We will not negotiate with terrorists, nor tolerate their illicit activities.

The High Command

OOC: Dude, I'm not even moving insystem yet, I'm lightyears outside of Sol 3 orbit.

OOC: I know. I was just pointing out something about the ships you mentioned-- the attacks arn't aimed at you, just at enemy units attempting to enter the atmosphere.

As the rumble of the landing freighter shook the small apartment, Henry and his colleagues dropped their cards and ran outside to the waiting Mobile Command Vehicle.

It was humongous, but through employment of Grav-plating, a small base had been literally put in to the air.

There were even decks of cards.

As the command center came online the Cassiopeian Armada came to the attention of the Radar operator.

"Looks like we have ourselves a few ducks to shoot."

"Bring the droids online and equip them with Anti-Air Guns."

The droids ran out, each with what appeared to be a rocket launcher with a huge clip on it. As they ran and ducked behind cars and buildings, the first of the Cassiopeian Dropships had begun its descent.

The first, most obvious change in AI was that the droids did not behave like Regulars (I'm referring to the times when gunpowder battles were fought in lines). Their targeting routines had been enhanced, and combined with a powerful telescopic zoom.

The command vehicle, scanning the airspace for disturbances in the atmosphere, 'painted' the descending dropships as thousands of rocket plumes were seen, and the sounds of windows breaking and car alarms being triggered.

The droids then proceeded to run to different locations both to avoid counterfire and to gain a better line of fire to the dropships.

(OOC: They may have smooth landings but I doubt they can turn much in drop, as then they could be swatted from space. And that would be a bad thing.)

The Hatarian Armada soon reached Numonaica, many of the Hatarian Troops wanted to reek Revenge on that Nation and now, they has the Chance.

The Planes soon took off from The Carriers to start the Invasion of Numonaica, they were Armed with the 3R7T Anti-Ship Missile and Napalm Bombs.

"Ok," said the Commander of the planes, "lets fry some Lanquassians." the Planes soon started Droping the Bombs on the enemy Troops.

The Troops were now landing on the Beach, ready to conquer Numonaica.

12 Landing Ships destroyed.

one of the Imperial Class Star Destroyers soon came down to the Earth and was above the enemy Troops, 300 Raven Fighters soon came out of the Fighter deck and attacked the enemy droid, Repeating Blaster Cannons work well against droids.

The Landers that were Landing let out Clone Troopers, they attacked the Hakurabi Forces, Fireing their Blaster Rifles at the enemy droids.

The Cassiopeia Galaxy.

another Fleet was being Readied, this time to attack Hakurabi's Homeworlds. They were to attack The enemy worlds and force them out of the war.

(OOC: I will post the Fleet soon.

OOC: I will post soon, once the space battles and stuff are over.

OOC: Bringing in an ISD is just plain unfair, since it's a capitol ship and therefore this is considered orbital bombardment. At any rate, I'm going to act before the clones move in.

Note that the droids have copies of various experienced AI combatants, and will not simply let themselves be shot. They may be as vulnerable as any human to blaster rounds, but they can carry more. Think of them as troops in kevlar.

At any rate, this is over Earth, and attacking elsewhere just diverts attention from said war. Save the attack for another time. You're also forgetting that I've only sent a miniscule unit.

Note that you're fighting against entrenched troops, and it is improbable that you would be able to land a droppod when they've got anti-air rockets. Seriously, if it were MT would you drop paratroopers on a unit of soldiers?

And would you mind posting how many clones I took down with the anti-air fire? It's kinda pointless swatting landing crafts without knowing if I made a dent in the forces.

The number of droids makes it at least a Brigade in WW2 terms.

IC:
The droids, having downed as many of the landing pods as possible, ran to the command center, returning their rocket launchers to the racks (they're for fighters and dropships mostly) and grabbed chain lasers, repeating plasma RPGs, and various other normally tri-podded weapons.

The clones would be in for a shock.

The RPGs would be used first, and the chain lasers later, but they were not going to fall victim to simple blaster fire.

The Artillery would have to wait, as they were still moving to the command position.

OOc: the location of my homeworlds are secret.

As the dropships entered the atmosphere they were met by AA fire from Axis Nova. The dropships light gravitronic guns tried to lock on the missiles but were unable to shoot all of them before they hit. A quarter of the dropships were shot down by the Axis missiles as the first wave were unprepared, reducing the invasion forces strength to 750 000 men.
The men already on the ground ducked for cover as the shrapnel rained down upon them, fortunately only seventeen were hurt.

In the Imperial War Room:
''Sire, we have had reports that several other nations have joined Hataria in the war, we also know that the division has been decimated to three quarters of their original strength.''

''Increase manpower to wartime standards.'' ordered the Dictator as he thought about the new situation, several nations had join Hataria, Relative Liberty was not strong enough to face them all and the draft would reduce the quality of the troops in the Army.
''Officer, exclude the Marine Corps from the draft and have them stand by for further orders.''

''Yes sir!'' said the officer and sent the necessary messages.

Across the Empire the Drafting Corps searched out physically fit persons and sent them to training facilities where they would be trained to serve the Empire, the training would take two months and then they would be snt to the front.
The Marine Corps on the other hand consisted of genetically altered elite soldiers would receive no reinforcements.

In space the Libertarian escort ships began firing on the remaining Axis satelites in retaliation. The energy carried by the X-Ray beams were much greater than ordinary lasers or even gravitronic technology, and the shields were unable to absorb them all. Some of the beams penetrated the shields and impacted upon the hulls of the Libertarian escort ships. One beam hit the Observation Room of the bridge of the USSRLSF Intrepid, a destroyer of the Jaguar class, and blew a hole in one of the viewing ports. The loss of pressure shattered the rest of the viewing ports and sucked the bridge personell, and amongst them Bridge Sergeant Fire-Eye, out into the cold void beyond. The compartement was quickly sealed by the crew but the ship lacked a captain and thus the crew carried out the last order they had received, firing at the satelites.

(ooc: the X-Ray Lasers would operate as a beam, not as a radiation weapon; basically X-ray lasers are more powerful and more penetrating than a normal one due to utilizing X-rays instead of light)

IC: As the satellites were unable to seriously evade the advanced weapons being deployed against them, they started blowing up at a fairly regular pace. However, knowing their priority, the controllers of the system only attacked the escort ships with interceptor missiles and the remaining SOL satellites-- the X-ray laser bombs continued to attack landing ships instead.

In Axis Nova, vast storehouses are opened and replacement satellites begin to be launched on the opposite side of Earth's orbital plane from Relative Liberty's ships. Unfortunately for Axis Nova, this would mean that it would take a few hours for the new satellites to get into position, and on top of that, if the escort ships managed to clear all the X-ray laser bomb sats away, the coverage would be far thinner... but still, it would be better than nothing.

1st Battlegroup, Kraven Imperial Navy

The Imperial Navy was en route to Numonica, the plan was to attack numonica via the sea, a swift bombardment of the shoreline, followed by a blitzkreig lightening attack, using Chimeras and Elements of the "CF" Sarduakar stormtroopers, once the beach had been secured, the plan was to construct a beachhead, and bring in the Artillery section of the Kraven Military forces, from their they would launch attacks into enemy territory, seizing important facilities, and buildings.

"Good Morning Admiral"

"Hello Captain, good morning yourself"

"Hmm, How I love the fresh sea air"

"haha, Yes you cant beat it, nothing like it"

the Admiral looked out to sea, through his binoculars, nothing... nothing at all.. just clear open ocean for miles..

the flag ship of the Kraven Imperial Navy, The Deviator was a Bismarch class battleship, designed on a very old class of ship,but improved and brought up to date with the latest weapons available and technologies available, other ships in the fleet were smaller cruisers, with 2 other Nimitz class battleships, The Hammer and The Anvil

it would take them another 24 Hours to arrive...

The escort ship of the Libertarian Spacefleet answered by directing 50% of the energy output of the fusion reactors to the shields and the light gravitronic weapons, focusing on shooting down the satelites and the missiles.

In the atmosphere:
The dropships of the second wave were prepared for the satelites and tried as many evasive manouvers as they could, they weren't many and some dropships were hit but the vast majority made it to the surface. This was the most vulnerable part of the landing as the dropships were absolutely still as the ramps were lowered and the two hundred soldiers disembarked and joined their comrades in the temporary base.

Back in space:
The fighter/bombers of the Libertarian Spacefleet, numbering 24 000, were divided into two groups, the first one, numbering 23 900, would stay in space and attack the enemy spacefleets, the other would provide cover for the dropships.
Inside the carriers warning lights began to flash as the order where given to launch all planes, a process that would take at least an hour. The planes already in psace, about a hundred, would from the second group and were already on their way towards the planet.

As the planes entered the atmosphere the pilots switched to jet propulsion and began searching the sky for enemy planes or missiles.

OOC: I know. I was just pointing out something about the ships you mentioned-- the attacks arn't aimed at you, just at enemy units attempting to enter the atmosphere.

OOC: oh, righto, my bad.

IC:

The fleet moved, they knew that there were mines in their path from the emissions they put out, and they had a perfect solution, the protoss carrier variants sent out their interceptor swarms into the minefields, if they were too small to set the mines off, well, all to the good, if not, they could make more, once the interceptors wre done, one way or another, the fleet would advance into orbit and descend upon this pitiful world, and these wasteful fools.

Bump

The Dragonfly shaped Landers (the Troop Landers are Beatle Like) soon started Dropping The Walkers far from the battle, The Walkers were Heading for the Hakurabi Lines, ready to fight.

213 Troops killed

In Space the Star Destroyers attacked the enemy Ships, Ion Cannons aimed at their Bridges. The Fighters were also Blasting at the Bridges of the Libertarian Carriers, repeating Blaster Cannons fired like Fireflies.

312 Fighters destroyed
23 Capital Ships gone

More Cassiopeian Shaman Fighters Drop out of hyperspace.

the battle was preceeding well, by salatorian standereds. roughly half the forward destroyers had been destroyed or eliminated from the fight. broken debris of ships floated in orbit, the ones that still could were firering their rotating batteries through the mass of ships. the battleships were creating a consentrated fire, picking 1 target at a time and decimating it, however this was a time consuming process and had already cost the fleet 20 of their most heavily armed crusers.

the fleet was beginning to loose its ground. they couldn't risk this fleet being broken this early in the conflict.

vassleman had no choice but to send the transports down without cover from the main fleet, hopefully with the enemy engaged the transports could slip past un-noticed.

as if by some mirical the fleet carriers arrived. these ships had been held up by their slower jump engines but they brought with them fresh destroyers who had been serving as escorts.

the top of the massive carriers opened, shaped like a massive saucerm they opened to reveal row upon row of robotic fighters. each ship could releace a swarm of 1000 fighters, true they didn't have the intelect of a human pilot but their nmbers compensated for that.

the fighters filtered into the battle like water between rocks, able to avoannon of the enemy main crusers they could easily change the corse of the battle now

I.-C. Minister of War Submits Neutrality Status to Hatarian Council

Gen. Forbes Military City - A few hours ago, Minister of Foreign Affairs Bonapuerta submitted a Declaration of Neutrality to the Hatarian Delegation on its visit to the OOM galleries today. But as of today no response came up from the Hatarian delegates who were giving strinct confidentiaity on this issue they are facing about. "As Hataria goes to war, it is important to give this statement of neutrality for the good of its citizens" Minister Bonapuerta said.

"We are hopeful that this Declaration will be respected by both belligerents and they will be getting the respect of this tiny nation as long they would reciprocate the respect to our territorial integrity" Said a senior cabinet officer whose name was disclosed.

An Achleonian scout helicopter flew over the main fleet of The Kraven Corporation and stayed hovering above the flagship, unarmed.

A radio conenction crackled up to the ship below the helicopter:
"This is ASH-774. You are off course. You are heading towards Achleonian waters. I repeat, You are off course and are heading towards Achleonian waters. Change your course immediatly!" The pilot said into the radio and kept the small aircraft hovering above the flagship.

"Sire, we're getting a retransmitted radio conversation" the Intelligence officer said from his post on the command deck of the A.N.S. Bulldog. The Admiral turned in his seat and looked over at him.
"Pass it throught. I want to hear it"
"This is ASH-774. You are off course. You are heading towards Achleonian waters. I repeat, You are off course and are heading towards Achleonian waters. Change your course immediatly!"
"ASH-774? isn't that one of our helicopters?"
"Yes, sir"
"Get it's exact location and take new course towards it. We need to greet our international visitors if they decide to geep going"
A fuss started onboard the fleet of the huge Battleship(Flagship), a few cruisers, a carrier, seven destroyers, two frigates and two corvettes, getting into a new formation and heading towards the international waters on full speed. A submarine joined them a few minutes later.
ETA 30 minutes.

(OOC: I'm assuming this is urban combat, okay?)

The command vehicle was able to spot the advancing walkers not only by their towering radar signature, but one could notice them advancing in the distance.

"Incoming Mechs! Lock the RPGs on!"

The droids were noticeably turning to aim their RPGs at the 'waist joints' of the slow moving walkers.

A huge heat reading signified the launching of the RPGs from behind the barricade and various buildings at the crucial joints required to disable the walkers. If they lost even two legs they would go down (Assuming they're four-leggers, otherwise, only one needs to go.)

The soldiers continued to fire RPGs at the mechs as they approached. For safety, the cyclic lasers were within easy reach.

--Back At Upsilon Andromedae--
A second freighter, loaded with proper urban combat infantry (Heavier Armour, Personal Shield Generators, Better movement capabilites), packed into a slightly larger casing.

Also with them were an assortment of other weapons, and 2,500 attachable PSDs for droids already down there. Not to mention food packages in preparation for civilians left without homes that would be inevitable.

'Droids' is probably a poor term, considering they had experienced true AIs.

The freighter materialised near Earth and began to make a run for the surface.

"Hakurabi Freighter requesting cover fire against Cassiopeian fighters. Repeat: Hakurabi Freighter requesting cover fire against Cassiopeian fighters."

The fleet was moving in on earth, Interceptors were swirling in and around the fleet formations, Gravebane, Genesis, and Bloodpath all prepared to deal with those who would oppose the Central Powers, while the heavier Shrikes and Ferrets of the Manticoran LAC wings readied their weapons to engage whatever forces tried to interdict them.

(OOC: Cassiopeian is leting me do this one, to show what the Hatarian Troops *me* are seeing)

The Hatarians heard the noise and marched over a Hill the General, General Uni Kani soon looked at what he was seeing " Holy God....." was all he said

a Large Ship was over the area, below it, some type of Soldiers with Blasters were Blasting at some Aliens and to top it all off, odd Walking Mechas were walking around, attacking the other Aliens.

This was odd.

Hataropoils, Hataria

Empress Serena saw what was happening, a Group of Space Ships were fighting in Space, "It looks like The Cassiopeians and our other Allies will win once Mini Miehm comes." she said

The War was going to be a good one.

The Four Leged Walkers were going down, but the thing with Spider Walkers was this: They have 8 Legs, like any Spider. the repeating Blasters on the head Fired at the enemy while The Clones dug in to fight the enemy.

The Fighters in Space soon started the Attack on the Libys (what the Cassiopeians are calling the Libertarians) and the Salatorians, The robotic fighters may be fast and powerful, but Fighter Piolted by Fresh and Bloods were Better. The Fighters fired at the Robotic Fighters with Repeating Baster Cannons and Torpedoes.

The Frigates attacked the Libies Carriers at Point Blank Range, Turbolasers blasting at full Power.

5 minutes until reinforcements...

25 I-AI Droids injured
5 I-AI Droids dead

The droids scattered, firing rockets at the legs of the spider droids. As the last of the clones moved over to the blockade, it exploded with huge force, the explosives inside detonated by the command vehicle.

The injured droids attempted to continue firing at the legs of the spiders, for if they could take down any four legs the spiders would be too crippled to continue, whilst the still moving droids either fired their RPGs at the heads of the spider droids or used cyclic lasers to mow down thinly armoured units.

The command vehicle retreated with the droids, biding their time.

The Artillery unit was a lot further back, waiting for a target to be painted.

The command would target what was left of the barricade when the Cassiopeians were all there.

Some droids broke away, throwing plasma charges into cars, buildings, and into the occasional manhole.

(ooc: im in the central powers, so i'm wondering who i'm actually fighting, things are starting to get complicated)

the Cassiopeian ships joined the battle

'sir the Cassiopeian ships are here to aid our fight. there appears to be another fleet on the way to earth who is broadcasting communications that would appear to make them friendly'

'excellent, we finally have victory in our grasp' Vassleman said as he walked over to the comm station.

'These ships are Cassiopeian right'

'yessir'

'then why are they shooting at our fighters'

'ummm'

'open a channel to the Cassiopeian fleet and tell them to ceese fire, were fighting for a common goal, unless the pretorian made another political blunder'

"Very good, Prepare the landing craft and prepare for a preliminary bombardment of the shoreline, to allow a forward beach head to be set up"

OOC: can i come join i posted in the sign up but i was lat in seing this thread

The Capitol police silently entered into the landing craft, they were hung from the side of troop ships, as the kraven war machine prepared to flex its physical muscles, each one moved with absolute precision, drills timed perfectly as each trooper decended into the bowls of the transport ships, Reichmarshalls stood watching, as the operation was moving underway, they stood motionless, gazing at the landing craft below, there eyes obscured by the peaks of their caps...

This was the Kraven War Machine

The TD fleet was moving towards Sol 3 orbit, the mines were being handled by the interceptor swarms, and proximity nukes, they jusdt had to wait for the drop call, then they would land on the pathetic alliance like the hammers of hell.

The king sat by his white piano, playing a soft melody with it as an officer came in. "You wanted to see me, sir!" the young officer said and stood at attention. Marcus Anthonius turned around. "Yes, I did. What is the current status?"
"The Kraven Corporation has started it's landing, the space is starting to clear off from vessels and into scrap metal, Our troops have arrived but they can't go down to the battle without pointing out hostilities against anyone"
"Hmm... How about our troops down there? The humans have always been pointed out to be better than the other races. That's how we go the whole system into our control, right?"
"Well... The units down there are small and preoccupied in defence"
"Hmm... How about you gather around our whole fleet in our system and get them here. All weaponry, all takover-ships, everything we have. Even my flagship"
"Yes, sir!"
The officer walked out and soon the piano started playing again and the message was sent out into the space, encrypted in Achleonian.
As soon as the first space station out there got the message, it started to pass it throught and in the matter of a couple of days, the most of Achleonian fleet would be ready to go and jump to hyperspace

The forward shields of the USSRLSF Invulnerable carrier were raised to protect against enemy fire, but this also made it impossible for any fighter/bomber to be launched as they would crash into the shield and be destroyed. One plane did hit the shield, as the pilot hadn't received the warning signal because of a faulty circuit. Nothing remained of the fighter but burned and twisted pieces of metal and plastic and the rocket fuel on the runway had caught fire, it would take at least an hour to put the flames out and clear the runway, it could take two if the runway itself was damaged.

The USSRLSF Conquereor, a jaguar class destroyer, moved into defensive position in front of the carrrier Invincible, and fired a barrage of light gravitronic beams to scare the Cassiopeian fighters away. If that didn't work the gravitronic turrets would be aimed at the fighters.

The order was sent to every fighter in flight and not offering CAS to the forces deployed on the planet's surface, to form into two wings and form ten squadrons in each wing. The wings would then form up on the flanks of the Libertarian fleet in echelon formation to screen of any further attacks by enemy fighters and to flank the enemy if possible.

Inside the Axis Nova Strategic Defense Command center, the controllers and the officer in charge look at the screens, stunned.

"The system's effectiveness has been reduced by over 70% in just thirty minutes... that took years to put up!"

Coming to a decision, the officer gives the controllers an order.

"That's enough-- pull back all remaining assets to geosynchronous orbit over Axis Nova. We can't afford to take much more in the way of losses to the system, so we'll use the rest to defend ourselves, and if some of those starships get through and try a landing here, we'll clean 'em up with the Nibelung System."


In orbit, rockets aboard the remaining parasite bombs, launcher satellites, and laser satellites fire, and their trajectory largely changes to head towards Axis Nova. However, a present is left behind before this happens: a 100 MT doomsday bomb intended to wipe out an entire nation's nuclear force in a single explosion engages it's active stealth defenses (antiradar stuff and OLED camoflauge to make it invisible to the naked eye) and slowly moves so that it can detonate right next to the largest ship it can...

Meanwhile, the air battle group slowly continues towards Hataria to help with repelling the attacks there.

The Libertarian now employed a tactic originally developed by the Old Empire to counter the larger battleships of the rebels of that time, the battleships forme into groups of five behind the protective hemisphere of the escort ships. Then each battleship turned off all shields but one, using the extra energy to increase the power of that shield, the lead ship shifted all power to the front shield, the center ship maintained the upper and lower shields, the ships on the flank directed the power to the starboard and portside shields and the rear ship maintained the rear shield, the shields were merged with each other to form a single large shield around the group. Thus the group were protected by shields up to four times as strong as usual while maintaining the power of their gravitronic beams.
The groups slowly moved out of the hemisphere and fired their superheavy gravitronic guns at the enemy battleships, the heavy gravitronic guns at the enemy carriers and the rest, sixty-eight triple gravitronic medium guns and twelve quad light gravitronic turrets, at the enemy escort ships.

The two wings of fighter/bombers zoomed past the battleships and moved up behind the enemy flanks and closed in one the capital ships, staying close so that the enemy ships and fighters wouldn't be able to fire without risking to hit the capital ships. As soon as they were close enough the fighters broke their echelon formation and formed bombing lines, bombarding the enemy ships with plasma bombs and misssiles.

The escort ships regrouped and formed a new hemisphere, facing the battle rather than just envelope the carriers in orbit. They then jettisoned their Bucaneer boarding craft, carrying 25 soldiers and technicians, in the general direction of the enemy escort ships.

The missile cruisers attempted a jump to hyperpsace which would take them behind the enemy, where they would fire all their missiles before jumping back using their second jump engine.

The groups slowly moved out of the hemisphere and fired their superheavy gravitronic guns at the enemy battleships, the heavy gravitronic guns at the enemy carriers and the rest, sixty-eight triple gravitronic medium guns and twelve quad light gravitronic turrets, at the enemy escort ships.

The two wings of fighter/bombers zoomed past the battleships and moved up behind the enemy flanks and closed in one the capital ships, staying close so that the enemy ships and fighters wouldn't be able to fire without risking to hit the capital ships. As soon as they were close enough the fighters broke their echelon formation and formed bombing lines, bombarding the enemy ships with plasma bombs and misssiles.

The escort ships regrouped and formed a new hemisphere, facing the battle rather than just envelope the carriers in orbit. They then jettisoned their Bucaneer boarding craft, carrying 25 soldiers and technicians, in the general direction of the enemy escort ships.

The missile cruisers attempted a jump to hyperpsace which would take them behind the enemy, where they would fire all their missiles before jumping back using their second jump engine.

321 Fighters
27 Capital Ships

The Cassiopeian Fleet soon started their own tactic, The Fleet Jumped to Hyperspace, going in side the enemy's protective hemisphere of the escort ships. The Fighters were out side still, now attacking the enemy Boarding ships, Repeating Blaster Cannons Blasting at the enemy ships.

The Capital Ships soon started thier attack on the enemy Carriers. Turbolasters and Torpedoes Fireing on the enemy.

the ship was again rocked my a massive explosion

'WHAT WAS THAT!' screamed Vassleman

'sir the enemy seems to have made i highly complex manover that took our battle computers compleatly by supprise'

'how many ships did we loose?'

'15 capital ships, 32 escort destroyers and 2 of our carriers sir'

'do we have enough ships to effectivly fight back?'

'all the readouts wold tell us no'

'then its time to start plan B, contact the remaining carriers and tell them to initiate manover Beta 3 alpha'

the robotic fighters were never expected to have to fly vast distances through hyperspace like ordinary ships, they had carriers to do that for them. however they were equiped with a limited range lightspeed drive. this was inferior to hyperdrives in many ways but the most common problem with them was that they couldn't avoir incomming planets or moons. also this ment that if two ships crossed pathes they were instantly destroyed. also becasue of the lightspeed drive being so volitile while being used the explosions created were quite spectatular.

salatoria in there usual military crudeness had harnessed this power for military uses. they equiped each fighter with a drive then if the situation became too dire, they were ordered to power up their drives and ram themselfs into the enemy vesseles. this was the tactic codenamed as 'manover Beta 3 alpha'.

one by one the remaining fighters lined up infrount of the last of the salatorian fleet. even though they were being shot down with incredible ease their large numbers ment that they kept in formation. in one movement the fighters seemed to dissapear and the frount ships in the enemy fleet were oblitterated.

all along the vissi screen of the flagship an expanding wall of flame shot along the fround of the enemy fleet. when it cleared there was more debris than ships. however this had been a dangerious move considering that the fleet was now again without fighters to cover them.

'well it seems were not going to be getting out of here soon. i want all power diverted from the jump drives and 50% power from the main engines to be diverted to keeping the hull electrified. relay this order to all remaining ships. also see if you can't get some of those PDL's (point defence lasers) back online'

hopefully the electrified hulls would be enouigh to keep those boarding hips off the fleet for long enough for more re-enforcements to arrive from the second fleet. also Vassleman had a feeling that those missle ships weren't destroyed as they appeared to have been.

ooc: my fleet is on the opposite side of the Relative Liberty fleet to the Cassiopeians

The carriers aborted all launches and raised the shields at maximum power, hoping that they would protect them against the barrage of fire laid down upon them. However, many shields were penetrated and carriers lost, amongst them the USSRLSF Exodus and Vindicator, the pride of the Spacefleet and beloved by the Dictator himself.

The escort ships scattered, providing the battleships with clear line of sight. Facening the threat of having the carriers destroyed either by the enemy or his own ships, should some shots miss, the Admiral ordered the battleships to fire their medium guns only. They were not as powerful as the heavy or the superheavy gravitronic guns, but should be able to penetrate the rear armour and find weak spots in the enemy shields.

The escort ships on the other hand, continued to fire at the enemy fighters, the quad gravitronic ball turrets swung around and fired their automatic guns at the small fighters zooming past the reticles and across the radar displays.

The missile cruisers prepared for their second jump when the enemy fighters rammed them in a spectacualr kamikaze manouver that would have made George Lucas drool.
The shields were temporarily down, as to provide the hyperspace generators with enough power, but it wouldn't have mattered really, if enough of those fighters hit the same cruiser the kinetic energy would pile up to more than the shields could handle. As it were the fighters impacted on the weak hull of the Juggernaught missile cruisers and damaged several of them, rendering 25% of them neutralized as the crew struggled to close the compartments where the hull had been compromised and then get the ship to an official Safe Zone where it could be repaired.

Thus the ships that were badly damged raised a white flag and sent a continous message to not attack them. The other ships left the battlefield to regroup and jumped to hyperspace, stopping somewhere in orbit around Neptune.

29 Capital Ships
331 Fighters

the Triobite Frigate soon attacked the Battleships with help from a Eclispe Super Star Destroyer that had jumped out of Hyperspace, followed by a Squadron of Space Rays, Liveing Ships that Fired Plasma at enemy Ships. The Ecilspe Super Star Destroyer, known as The Terror, was Commanded by Warmisstres Hia'ung Cilbola'yunai'jiyie'kuan, a Co'run, 7 feet tail with Black Skin, rare even the the Reptilian Co'rans. "have the Fighters on our ship attack the enemy Flagship." she ordered, her Cobra-like Head looking at the battle.

out of the Terror's Hanger Deck, 4,000 Raven Fighters poored out and attacked, while the Terror Fired on one of the enemy Carriers.

The battleships held their ground and directed their fire towards the new threat, without fear of hitting their own carriers the battleships used their superheavy gravitronic guns, guns that were designed for one purpose only; to dominate ship to ship battle by destroying enemy battleships.

One of the fighter wings also disengaged from the rest of the Cassiopeian fleet and turned to face the ISD.

The boarding craft, having suffered heavu casualties, slowly made their way to the Salatorian fleet.

The escort ships broke the former formation, two groups on the opposite sides of the carriers, and full command of the ship was given to the Bridge Lieutenants and Sergeants. The ships then merged with the carrier group, offering protection as they caught the fire aimed at the carriers and fired back at the enemy ships and fighters.

"Admiral... The Assault boats are ready... your orders?"

"Begin the bombardment... "

"Any specific location?"

"No"

"As you wish Admiral"

the admiral was looking through a pair of viewfinders, they enhanced the image of the shore line... allowing him to see the topography of the land and best judge where the bombardment should be aimed... so far he'd spotted no defenses, he just hoped getting the Capitol police onto the shoreline would be easy..

"Gunner Captain?"

"yes Commander?"

"Prepare for the bombardment"

"This is Gunner Captain, To all Gun Crews, prepare to fire.... Target Commander?"

"Co-ordinates 33, 45 89"

"Understood"

"Gun Crews... Co-ordinates, 33,45,89"

the massive guns on the Deviator, the kravens massive flag ship swung round to the direction of Numonica, the quad barrelled monstrosities began changing the angle of their attack...

Warning claxons started, the crew running below deck, then suddenly, the 4 massive gun turrets fired simultaneously... the ship shuddered by the sudden birthing of massive shells from the barrell of the cannons,

the other battleships followed suit, their gun decks opening fire, hammering the shore line with shells..

The Admiral watched as great plumes of fire and soil were thrown into the sky, the very foundation of numonica shook beneath the might of the Kraven Navy...

the admiral looked on silently as his ships went to work...

Secret IC:
*The Fleet*
Just inside International Waters off the coast of Hataria the USS Shazbot sat preparing all the aircraft for launch. Thid would be a great battle indeed. The HOly Empire was to defend Hataria against any foreign agressors no matter the cost to the Holy Empire. AC-01's were being prepped on the USS Starcher and the USS Wittenburg. The USS Gamble and the USS Shazbot were preparing the AS-02's for launch. The AC-01's were the main troop deployment for the fleet and would deploy all the troops for the task force.

A Deck hand on the USS Shazbot was just finishing attaching 30 Smart Bombs into the holders on a bomber. When he backed away from the aircraft he turned to his supperior. "AC-02 Theta Three Five prepped for launch." He yelled across the flight deck. The AC-02 was then taxied across the flight deck to the edge of the shit where it was to begin it's take-off.

On the deck of the USS Wittenburg, over 20 AC-01's were being preppred for takeoff. Marines were being piled into them. 5 to a bench, there were 10 total troops in each AC-01. Over 400 Marines were to be sent to the shores of Hataria in the initial deployment from both ships. They were to set up base camps and primary defences until the next 400 Marines were to arrive on the shore.

Back at the Imperial Palace in Shaz City, the Emperor was overlooking the operations from his bunker below the building. Secured around 100 feet below the surface, the bunker was made up of titanium and concrete. The shaft that went from the surface to the bunker had over 20 blast doors that would close in case of the Palace being overtaken.

"What is the status of our Armed Forces?" The emporer said as he walked up to the Minister of Defence.

"Well sir, 400 marines are preparing to deploy at the current moment for initial defence deployment on the shroes of Hataria. The fleet is taking a defensive stance. This is Destroyers and Subs in the front, Aircraft Carriers in the middle, and the Hospital ships close to the shore." He said. Then continued, "This will ensure that there will be roughly enough sea defence that our guys will ensure minimal losses."

"Excellent," The emporer said. "Any reply from Hataria about our message?"

"Negative, sir." The Minister of Foreign Affairs stated. "Were still waiting for a reply. As soon as we have a reply, we will send a message to the fleet for imediate deployment of the Marines."

"Thats good." The emperor said. He then went and sat down in his chair in the center of the room. Now to wait, He thought to himself

The mysterious woman had long finished her shower by now, and was getting ready to meet with her travelling mate. She heard an explosion in the distance and realized what was happening.

"Lets go, Jared. Things are going to be getting really heated around here."

"Yes Valerie."

"I need you to go meet up with your man with connections, I have to go meet with up with my travelling partner."

"Ah, Haushinka, I was wondering about her."

"Lets go now, we don't have any time to waste."

She grabbed ehr stuff and headed out of the building, Jared right behind her. No sooner than they stepped out did a shell hit the building across the street. They both booked it away from the building. After they had ran several blocks Jared stopped and said, "This is where I depart. We'll meet up here in half an hour, sound good?"

"Yeah, fine. If he has one try to get me an FNP-90."

"I'll try, but I doubt he has one," they both ran off in their seperate ways.

After about ten minutes Valerie finally made it to where Haushinka was, and was greeted by the cougar with an almost bird sounding meow.

"C'mon girl, we got stuff we need to do," Valerie said as she started off again.

As she started back to the place where she was supposed to meet Jared she ran into a mass of people trying to flee out of the city. One person spotted Haushinka, pointed, and screamed. Havoc ensued as a mas of people ran away from the cougar. Valerie did her best to ignore this and tried to make her way to the rendevouz asap.

with the hyperdrives of the entire fleet taken down to help power some defence agains't the enemy boarding craft, there was no hope of quietly escaping to join the second fleet making its way to earth. right now there was only two options, fight or die. however sucessfull the fighter attack had been the enemy still posessed too many ships for the salatorians to defeat on their own. only the Cassiopeians could save them from their fate now.

most of the cruser captains were in a daze, the salatorians had never faced such a foe before. the ranks of the main fleet had dwindled to a shadow of what departed the homeworld hours before.

thankfuly the ground forces had made planet fall an were beginning to deploy. they were fully aware that with the space battle in progress and the predicted battles thereafter they probably wold never recieve any support from orbit.

the troops had landed on the eastern boarder of Numonica their main aim being to stop any enemy ground forces attacking over the boarder. but becasue only half of the originally planned forces had made it to the planet the plans had to rely on a mobile defence fought mainly by the grenadeirs who possesed the most amoured vehicles.

the fleet spaced itself out so as to not make a larger target of themselfs as was nessesary. hardly any escorts remained now and the battleships and crusers would have to fend for themselfs using only limited light and medium cannon that dotted the hulls of the massive ships, they were by no means more effective than fighters but as of now they would have to do. the last of the carriers were to be placed in the battle too considering that they no longer had any fighters to control. they would be deployed in an anti fighter role for they possesed the most missiles.

however through all the smoke and flame the preator could only think of one thing. he had now consolidated himself to death. he dreamed of heroic ballards being sung on their homeworld comemorating the great battle and the fall of their brave and fearless leader.

The Fleet continued to pound the shore line, it had been a constant barrage for over half an hour now...

"How long until it stops?"

"I dont know, when the Admiral decides to send the troops across I guess"

"heh, yeah we don't want to be shelling our own troops like"

"Nah, I don't think the Admiral cares, this is a vulgar display of power more than anything and way, those freaks the Capitol police, I don't think they'd care they were being shelled by their own side, they'd just continue as ordered, dispite being blown to bits by their own side... to be honest I'm glad I'm on their side, and not the enemy"

"yeah.. I hear you"

"Shut up you two, your doing my head in..."

"Sorry Sgt"

((Ooc: what is the current state of the war?))

(OOC: Big space combat upstairs, that I assume is still going on, several forces have entered numonica to protect it, and the KC is currently shelling the beach head and nearby city in preparation for a beach landing)

((Ooc: time to bring the war home))

Unbekownst to CDA High command, A traitor had given the Cassiopeans the location of the home system.

Miners discovered Uranium deposit near the Tapas Mountain Ranges]
The Bureau of Energy in collaboration with the I.C. Parliament has discovered a Uranium Deposit on the Dangerous Tapas Mountain Ranges. On its slope which is 25,000 above cloud line level a yak nomadic tribe reports of reports that most of their flocks and citizens had died of natural causes when one of the specimens where examined it turned out to be radiation from the mountain itself...The Uranium yield as of this moment is still undisclosed and no information was obtained.

I.C'ians On High Alert

When almost 800 million citizens of many nations are at war as of this moment. The Morphian High Command has declared a state of high readiness in an event of an unexpected takeover by any beligerrent that cross I.C.'ian air space and sea border. It is reported that the outer atmosphere at about 3000 miles from our southeast border the dark of night would lit up with constant bombardment from the combatants. And with the news that Numonaica is now being heavily bombarded with Shatzbodom Forces (as of today it was not confirmed if its them who is now starting the bombardment). As of today with the declaration of neutrality by the Prime Minister, he also unveiled a plan to make I.C. The safest country in the whole world.

(OOC: What about your ground forced, Cassiopeia? Just because my forces are retreating somewhat doesn't mean that yours can automatically claim victory and 'vanish'... Haven't you heard of a tactical retreat? I'd like some losses, please.)

As soon as the troops were far enough from the Cassiopeian Forces, they piled back into the mobile base and moved further inside, with just two remaining behind.

The two droids, one with a pair of binoculars and the other with a sniper rifle, moved out. They each had a bandolier, one with around twenty demolition charges, and the other with spare cartriges.

They climbed up to the top floor (not the roof) of a nearby building whilst the command vehicle sped away, and watched the pursuing Cassiopeians. The whole evacuated slum area had enough explosives in it to practically annihilate it, so its power had to be triggered at the right moment. It was a residential building, so they could simply open a window.

The sniper rifle was not much removed from its Modern Technology Cousin, its only improvement was greater speed and lesser signature. It fired high speed rounds by destabilising a special compound that would create a lot of cold gas in a very short time, also creating almost no sound.

XR-59 watched the advancing Cassiopeians, their fragile bodies moving as if they believed they were invincible. They had killed XR-92, and they would pay. He had to remember the rule - he had two shots, lest he be found. After scanning the battlefield, he noticed that there were no suitable targets, no officers, no nothing. His attention turned to the great floating starship, with its characteristic open viewing port.

The rifle maneuvered until the sight lined up with the forehead of a paticularly confident looking character, and continued to follow it. When the moment was right, he would fall in front of his crew. He flipped the switch for the Air Compressor, and bided his time.

Meanwhile, XR-62 watched the Cassiopeian forces advance slowly through their little trap.

OOC: can i come join i posted in the sign up but i was lat in seing this thread

OOC: Yep, you are on the List

Meanwhile, XR-62 watched the Cassiopeian forces advance slowly through their little trap.

The Cassiopeian Clone Army soon stopped and now waited. The Walkers that were still standing were as still as stone. They were waiting for something.

The Cassiopeia Galaxy

The Cassiopeians were now sending a Droid Army to Earth, a total of 2,786,972 Battle Droids. Most of the droids were Battle Droids, Droid Gunships, Tank Droids, Destroyer Droids, Droid Starfighters and Walker Droids

The Ships were 20 Imperial Star Destroyers, 16 Athena Class Drednutghts and 3,097 Republic Class Star Fighters.

The Small Fleet soon Jumped into Hyperspace.

The shelling stopped...

over half a days worth of shelling and now there was nothing..

but an eery silence, the desolution, the destruction.. while the shelling sounded the city still had a voice... but now nothing... gaunt... quiet...

The Admiral simply nodded, and the captain went scurrying down into the Bridge of the ship...

"Launch the Assault boats"

"Understood Captain"

the silence was broken by powerfull V8 engines roaring into life, dozens of assault boats began to hammer through the waters, making thier way to the shore line, in each assault boat stood 30 Capitol Police troopers, they held GPMG's tight to their chests, stood motionless, their red glowing eyes the only thing giving away that the assault boats contained any form of life

10 minutes passed, the assault boats bouncing across the waves, so far no fire... no machine gun fire, no exploding shells...

the Admiral stood watching

The Bombardment must have worked... caught them off guard...

Because I really don't know whats happening i will remain on the defencive unless otherwise noted

We repeat this message to you. We are just off your shoreline ready to assist you in any way. We will defend you if you need us to.


Over?

(OOC: Awright! I've prodded you into using droids!)

XR-59, remembering the anatomical data they were briefed on before being shipped out, moved his aim to the clearly arrogant captain's heart.

XR-62 noted that almost all of the current Cassiopeian forces were in the 'kill zone'.

XR-59 began to squeeze on the trigger.

XR-62 armed the explosives.

The bullet whistled quietly through the air.

XR-62 pushed the button.


The Captain, in his full triumph, saw his beautiful army being engulfed by an even larger explosion. However, his dismay did not last long, as the bullet shattered the dome and landed with a wet thud in his heart.

The two droids ducked behind a kitchen counter to shield themselves from the blast. They might need to deal with survivors.

(OOC: That should have at least annihiated every last one of the walkers, or at least disabled them. Other than that, all but a few Clones would probably be killed too. Anyone else in the grand alliance might want to note that the Cassiopeia Galaxy should be practically exhausted of any fleet elements...)

When the explosion died down, the HQ vehicle began to organise the battalion into individual hit squads. If Henry knew the Cassiopeians, there would be more coming. A lot more.

OOC: if its mt vs FT with the ground forces and such it would still be a slaughter like independence day when they attacked the mother ship and it has shields

psst psst the majority of my army and people want to join the central powers and that's why I'm on the defensive

Our troops need help, That are ready to attack a bunch of enemy Robots fighting some of our Allies.

Chanecllor waters looks up the world and galaxy map and shivers.

"How can we fight all those robots and spaceships? we only recently launched our first Staellite into orbit and not even motorized Carmanufacturing is finshed for being used. We need allies and technology and fast." "Contact a distant planet or coloy and ask them too trade our uranium for future technolgies." Chancellor Waters sits on her chair, the war is spinning through her mind, new allies, territory but all that isn't even in their reach without suffient military forces. They need an army.

"Yes sir! We will contact the most technology advanced nations what kind of Technology are we aiming for here?"

"Robots, we need a robot army on the double. Perhaps we can take a look at some Mechs, i'm really interested in seeing them in action. Find me a nation that trades in Mech technology and pilots training."

"Yes sir!"

OOC: i'm neutral

*In Orbit*
SpySat 4 moves into position to find the Hatarian troops. It scans the area and finds the location of the troops. Information about troop movement is sent back down to the Holy Empire's naval unit on the ground. Live video feeds were being released all throughout the fleet as it changed course for the location of the droids and Hatarian Troops.

The first assault craft landed on the beach with a thump, a few seconds passed as the ramp slammed down hard onto the wet sand below, the Capitol police stormed out, moving up the beach as quickly as possible, the other landing craft followed suit, slamming into the beach and disgorging Capitol Police troopers.

The Troopers ran up the beach, heading towards a small ridge, as the first trooper arrived he threw himself to the ground and took a look over the ridge, there was nothing, not one soldier to oppose them...

"Command relay, no opposition advise?"

"Hold position, Squad dig in, prepare for a possible counter offensive, await armoured support"

"Understood Command Relay"

from the fleet, several larger assault boats began to head towards shore, carrying elements of the Special Unit, armoured brigade, including Chimeras, Leman russ battle tanks, and Basilisk Mobile artillery...

"High Command, This is the Admiral, Our troops have hit the shore"

"Understood Admiral, proceed with the offensive"


(OOC: Forces on Shore
1000 troops on shore
15 Leman Russ Battle tanks
25 Chimeras
8 Basilisks Mobile artillery)

While the Axis Nova space weapons were relatively crude compared to their more advanced cousins, main battle tanks were another matter entirely-- as the puny droid forces daring to oppose the Central Powers would soon find out.

Having reached the battle area, the airships begin landing and releasing Axis Nova troops, Hound FMBs, Lion IIs, CMGVs, and the gigantic Admiral A-1 superheavy assault tanks. With much shouting and waving of arms by traffic control personnel, each unit is quicky and efficiently organized and moves off to get into formation with the Hatarian units, prepared to assist in the attack on the droid scum. In the meantime, engineers begin constructing field repair stations, logistics soldiers begin organizing supply and ammunition dumps, and medics casualty stations. UAVs buzz back and forth on overwatch, preparing themselves to engage enemy aircraft while the setup takes place.


(OOC list of forces deployed so far

5000 troops
400 Hound FMBs
450 CMGVs of assorted variants (not counting the support and noncombat types)
250 Lion IIs
135 Admiral A-1 Mk IIIs

There's also assorted UAVs and support personnel and AA guns and so forth around but no need to list those for the moment.)

(OOC: Your move, Cassiopeia. Unless you want to fast forward to the next attack on my troops... I'll assume so.)

The troops regrouped, and were now organised into little squads, platoons, and companies. The freighter descended, bearing with it further reinforcements, and specialised equipment. The PSGs increased the survivability of the droids somewhat, affording protection from an extra four blaster rounds. That or maybe a couple of bursts from an assault rifle.

Some were assigned into 'Hit Squads', with a combination of AP Machineguns and grenade launchers.

Others were sorted into Automatics and Rocket companies, with Chainguns and Repeating RPGs respectively.

A few were assigned to recon duty, with plasma assault rifles and gas sniper rifles.

Some worked to create traps and moved vehicles to create barricades and kill-zones.

Several concealed themselves in buildings and under rubble, preparing for ambushes.

There were more that a few Anti-Air squads, their Repeating Anti-Air Missiles primed to go.

Barbed wire, tank traps, and land mines were set around the slum block where there were still entrances.

More than a few spring-loaded dummies were placed amongst the area, interspersed with the real troops.

In all, it was a makeshift fortress.

The Artillery was positioned a ways away, where their speed could be taken advantage of.

The Capitol police moved from their current position, they advanced slowly towards the town, on the beach, leman russ battle tanks rolled up the beach and onto one of the main roads, it cautiously travelled down the main road, the Capitol police trooper sat in the copula of the turret watching as the different buildings slowly passed, behind it was a Chimera, it stopped and the rear door opened disgorging more capitol police troopers, the towns outer perimiter had been secured with no evidence of resistance so far, most of the towns people had fled at the onset of the naval bombardment,

more leman russ tanks rolled onto the tarmac and began making their way deeper into the town, Capitol police troopers and engineers began reinforcing the beach head and mounting assault cannon turrets, as well as other defensive gun mountings.

Capitol police troopers swept from house to house, turning everything over searching for possible terrorists, or weapons storage.

soon a black staff car drove up the beach, inside was a reichmarshal, secret police of the corporation, and behind it a black armoured 8 wheeler APC, inside the feared Kreigsmarines, they were the Corporations black ops, the reichmarshals took pleasure in extracting information from people, and the kreigsmarines took pleasure in hunting down those the Secret police sought after.

"Command relay, this is THX 122.. we have secured the landing beach, and are moving into town... no resistance encountered"

"Understood THX 122, continue as planned, engage any hostiles"

"Acknowleged Command Relay"

with the beach head secured, the Corporation could start moving its artillery and other armoured sections onto the beach, and make one decisive blitzkreig into the heart of Numonica...

(OOC: I was a Bit Busy last night.)

The Clone Army soon started to pull Back, out of range of the enemy Artillery. The Clone Army now waited for the renforcements to come.

34 Walkers downed
231 Clone Troopers dead

The Renforcements soon came, on the Dark Side of the Earth, The Fleet would Orbit the Earth till it was over Numonaica and start Landing the Droid Army.

OOC: ONLY 235 CLONES DEAD? I created a freaking CRATER there! It was a simultaneous demolition of an entire area! Right, you're forgetting that you charged with around 12,000 clones, not including walkers. You realise I have to employ these sorts of tactics in order to effectively destroy units, and it kinda defeats the purpose of that if it only takes a tiny bite out of your forces. Shall I bring in antimatter bombs and see if I can achieve a full thousand?

Or maybe you want me to bring in close to a thousand Jedi so they can sacrifice themselves to take down a full two thousand?

OOC: I don't remember saying "I am sending 12,000 Clones to attack you"

I have to agree. I looked over the thread and didn't see TCG say that he was sending that many clones to attack. I don't know what your smoking

***To the east of Hakurabi's position***
The marines of the Holy Empire of Shazbtodom stepped onto the battle field late. Many were angry that they wern't here for the initial bombardment to take out the enemy troops but they couldn't do anything about it at this moment. The Marines grabbed their BattleRifles, SMG's, Rocket Launchers, Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, and Magnums and broke into their different fire teams. The Holy Empire deployed the 1st Company, 1st through 50th Division into the area. (OOC: Troop Breakdown Web Site (http://thenetwork.95mb.com/Shazbotdom/breakdown.htm). Do math yourself.)

Captain Theodore K. Ronistad was in command of Fire Team 312 of Company 1, Division 1. His group was ordered to rush the right flank. As they ran across the vast terrain of the landing site toward the battle zone, everyone made sure that a bullet was ready in the chamber of the gun and rushed forward. They ran behind rocks and trees to avoid being detected by the enemies. As they neared the enemy position, they stopped to wait for orders from command.

Ronistad: "Command, this is fire team C1D1-312 Over."

Command: "Rodger that."

Ronistad: "Awaiting orders. Do we fire upon these goddamned bastards or not?"

Command: "Orders are as follows. Proceed to firing position. Fire any and all artillary you have upon enemy positions. Fire weapons upon enemy positions. Shoot for the necks if you are able to. Over."

Ronistad: "Rodger that. Over and out."

Ronistad then taps the Marine holding the rocket launcher in his team on the shoulders and points an area. The Marine then takes aim and proceeds to get a locking solution near a large grouping of what appears to be clones. He then fires off a shot and then quicly resets the rocket launcher's second barrel and fires off a second shot. He watches as the rockets blaze toward their target.

The Cassiopeian Renforcements soon were desening to Earth, Garuded by Fighters they soon started Landing. The Gunships flying to the enemy, Weapons ready as The Droid Army was now ready for Battle.

OOC: What happened to the battle between our two fleets?

Coredia City, Coredia, Middle Atlantic, Earth

A young man (a boy, really) rushed down the large hallways of the Imperial Palace to head to the Throne Room. The Empress must be notified of these developments! An invasion by Hataria, drawing in forces like the Cassiopeia Galaxy, one of the Coreworlds' enemies. Even Chronosia is rumored to be building up forces!

The kid nearly barreled over another aide with a stack of papers, and then rushed into the Throne Room, where the Empress was meeting with some Scramball team. The royal guards made for the kid, but the Empress waved them off.

"What is the meaning of this?" She asked sternly.

"My Lady, I'm sorry to interrupt, but turn on your holoscreens. The nation known as Hataria has begun a war of galactic proportions!"

The Empress moved for a remote and clicked on the wall-TV to CNN Breaking News. Stories abounded, from Hataria's declaration of war against Numonaica to a space attack by Cassiopeia forces, and other nations joining for or against Hataria's newly formed Central Powers. An alliance known as the Grand Alliance has formed to stop the invasions and keep Earth free...

"Oh my..." The Empress whispered, then composed herself. "Notify the Jedi Council of this development. We will need their Star Destroyer fleets."

"Aye, Ma'am." The young man replied. "Anything else?"

"Yes, tell the press that I am going to make a statement on this." The Empress rose sharply. "The Imperial Republic of Coredia...is going to war!"

----

Jedi Temple, Jurai

"These are troubling developments." Master Emily Rydo said before her peers. "The Cassiopeia Galaxy was a nation I fought once. It appears they are taking advantage to strike again at Earth."

"Yes. But this time, we shall send someone else to deal with them." Jedi Master Alex Masaki said, turning his head towards Hokage Tsunade (Ninja Master). "I suggest Team Seven. One Jedi Knight, three Jounin Shinobi. The presence alone might deter the enemy forces, but I won't bet on that, even with their reputations."

Tsunade nodded. "And the fleet?"

"The Megalodon's battlefleet has done well against the Huntaeran forces at Earth before. This time, I suggest we send the Tyrannosaurus Battlefleet with it, attaching several Artillery Star Destroyers with them. Knowing the Cassiopeia Galaxy, we'll need some heavy firepower against them." Master Elendil said.

"That's nearly an eighth of our forces." Alex commented, frowning.

"I know that, Alex. But we'll need to make certain that we can win against all enemies of the Central Powers." Elendil said. "Including spacefleets if necessary. We cannot afford to lose Earth to the Dark Side, and you know it."

"Luckily, we've upgraded our fleets to stand up against the enemy..."

"Yes. Let us vote."

It was, unsurprisingly, an unanimous decision by the Council. A Padawan was dispatched to find Team Seven.

In the meantime, the mobilization count for the Megalodon and Tyrannosaurus fleets are as follows:

2 Elite Star Destroyers to act as flagships. They have almost enough power to go toe-to-toe with an Executor SSD together.
4 ISD mk IIIs
3 Missile Star Cruisers
3 ISD mk IIs
6 Strike Cruisers
5 Nebulon-B2 Frigates
8 Lancer antistarfighter cruisers
10 Wolfpacks (1 Corvette, 4 Gunships each)
3 Artillery Star Destroyers (These have specially made SPHA-Ts to bombard enemy ships from afar. Very devastating)
1 Interdictor Cruiser

Planetary Invasion fleet:
2 Victory Star Destroyers
3 Acclaimators

All in all, it was a powerful show of force, necessary for this war. They are to rendzevous at the Coredian Wormhole with the foursome, Daniel Masaki, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura (making up Team Seven). Together, they will head to Earth and defeat all Central Powers forces and free the nation of Numonaica...

---

The Empress has spoken before the people. "I am demanding that Hataria and all her allies withdraw from the innocent nation of Numonaica, and her allies' fleets withdraw from Earth space or suffer the consequences! Your imperialistic ways are a stench upon the planet and we will not stand for it! Therefore, if they do not begin withdrawing withing 12 hours, we will begin battle against you! Choose wisely!"

OOC: Butt out Coreworlds, this is a closed RP, and I don't see your name on the participants list in the OOC thread.

OOC: I've IMed Hataria about joining and he said it's ok. Just think of my post as an over-glorified tag for now.

OOC: 120 Clone Divisions with 23,000 Clone Troopers, 234 All Terrain Ion Cannons, 87 All Terrain Escort Transports and 45 Spider Walkers in each Division

Okay, so it was twice that. Mind you, I didn't quote it. Still, I'm assuming you sent at least two divisions, because you're calling for reinforcements.

Total current forces:
2470 I-AI Prototype Battle Automata (To distinguish from Cassiopeia's)
2000 Battle Automata
1 Rail Cannon (Wheeled Artillery)
1 Mobile Command Vehicle (Grav-Plated)
40 Vindicator High speed Plasma Artillery

Say, Coreworlds, which side are you on?

More importantly, which side are YOU on, Shazbotdom? Is it supposed to be accidental friendly fire?

IC:
The Rail Cannon was finally set up, and the first plasma charge was ready to go.

The Vindicators were pulled back into the fortress, and the last entrance barricaded and mined.

A flurry of missiles from various locations around the city (Outside fortress only for now) headed for the Cassiopeian Dropships.

(And so you don't think I'm ignoring you...) The Shazbotdom marines were yet to be noticed, and the marine that had fired the rocket was an object of confusion among the automata.

Say, Coreworlds, which side are you on?
OOC: Considering that I'm gearing up to fight Cassiopeia Galaxy (yet again), it appears that I'm on your side!

The Droid Fighters, being Droid Fighters soon made a Wall, letting The Missiles hit them, but a few Missiles got though and 12 Dropships were Blasted to nothing.

but now the Droid Gunships were now lose, and heading for the enemy Mobile Command Vehicle and the Rail Gun. Repeating Blaster Cannons and Missiles Fireing at the enemy.

The Dropships soon Landed and the Droid Army soon started to unload.

The Clone Troopers still Waited.

OOC: They're meant to be somewhat concealed in the city... How did you find them? Right, next time you're going to need a good reason to attack a concealed position. The Rail cannon I will not accept to be attacked, as it is in a city and has not yet revealed its position.

Droid gunships? In a city? Wow. I didn't know fighters were THAT powerful...

Maybe I'll pull in some of my own after this wave...

IC:
The chainguns on the command vehicle whirred to life, firing thousands of explosive shells at the swooping droid gunships, whilst the sensors rapidly scanned the craft for military ordinance.

As the ordinance was revealed, a solution presented itself.

The MCV moved to evade as many of the blaster rounds as possible, its thick armour shielding itself against the blaster fire quite well.

The computer banks worked furiously to break into the droid command systems, as around thirty droids rolled out of the back and fired missiles at the gunshipa when they moved to attack.

The Droid Gunships were now being fired on by the enemy, 10.....no wait......14 Droid Gunships were down and more were being shot down. But the Droid Gunships soon showed their Surprize, Sonic Cannons and Anti-armor Missiles (Note: These are the Missiles used against Capital Ships.) The Weapons fired on the enemy.

the Droid Army soon joined up with the Clone Army soon, the Large Force soon Charged at the enemy, Tank Droids Blasting at the Buildings, heading for the enemy.

In Space, Darth Bankai knew that CoreWorlds was demanding the retreat of the Central Powers.....he had his Anwser..........NO.

45 Captial Ships 529 Fighters

The Corporation now had secure control of this town, it was being reinforced, with road blocks and defensive structures, guard towers had been errected.

A light, like the beam of a warships searchlight swept the common, and the assault cannons were ready to follow.

a Command HQ had been set up, the reichmarshal and the admiral were sat drinking and looking over plans.

Flak cannons had also been set up manned by the inhuman Capitol police they tracked the guns across the sky waiting for targets...

"What about air cover?" the reichmarshal asked

"It'll be here, don't worry, the carrier is quite capable of launching Vtol Attack Craft, and is well protected by the fleet"

"That is good then, I don't want to be left out in the open with out any air cover for my troops and tanks"

"Yes, So far the operations has gone well..."

"Yes, lets hope it is like this all the way..."

the admiral laughed and took a drink from his glass

"Ma'am. We got an answer."

NO.

The Empress sighed. "Very well. Is the space fleet here yet?"

"Not yet. We'll know when they are."

"Alright. Tell the Navy to deploy the sea units. If nothing else, we can delay the enemy with them."

"Yes, Ma'am."

The sea fleet:
3 aircraft carriers
2 helicopter carriers
3 battleships
2 battlecruisers
4 AA cruisers
6 ASW destroyers
8 frigates

6 1st Marine Division landing craft
8 supply/oil ships

2 missile subs
5 attack subs

The Padawan that was dispatched to find the Jedi and ninjas to command the fleet took a really long time to find them. As in, an hour long because they were last reported to be training deep into the woods. They just didn't say how deep!

The kid hopped from tree to tree, reaching out to sense the increase in energy that denoted a duel. Then suddenly...

Ka-CRACK! A bolt of lightning struck the tree next to him, exploding in a shower of splinters. The boy yelped and dove away from the sudden electrical blast. That was followed by a blast of wind that knocked him off his feet. Damn! They're really at it today!

Battered and bruised, the Padawan managed to get himself to the clearing where Naruto and Daniel were dueling. They were really at it today, for the boy was awed at the display of lightsaber combat the two possessed. Daniel favored a combination of Makashi (fencing), Soresu (defensive) and Ataro (acrobatic) and was seamlessly switching from one to the other. Naruto however, used Djem So (offense) with elements of Juyo (Efficiency) in his own style. Thus, the two young heroes of Coreworlds were evenly matched.

The earlier freak storm was due to a combination of Naruto's mastery of wind via his Rasengan (which is a ball of chakra energy which has been said to be a storm in a ball, and can crack cliff walls; Chakra is the ninja word for the Force.) and Daniel's mastery over electricity. They must have collided the two energies, causing the sudden blast of lightning and wind energy.

Sasuke and Sakura were on a boulder, watching the battle unfold, Sasuke using his Sharingan to 'see' the quick movements of the two dueling young men and copy them for possible later use. That was where the Padawan went and began speaking to them. They nodded. Sakura then yelled. "Hey, Daniel! Naruto!"

No answer as they were in the thick of the duel, neither one of them wanting to give up.

Sakura grew angry, pulled out a pair of black gloves with metal knuckles, and concentrated all her chakra into her fist and slammed it into the ground. A small earthquake shook, and the ground cracked under the boys' feet. They yelped as the sudden cracking separated them, finally ending the battle.

"Listen up, you two bakas!" The pink haired kunoichi yelled. "We got a mission from the Council! We'd better get back now!"

"Alright! Just a minute!" I yelled back. "Hey, good battle, Naruto. We'll finish it later."

"Yeah." We shook hands. Then we gathered up our stuff and began heading back to the Jedi Temple via tree-hopping, the fastest way to travel if you don't have or want speeders. Just about every Jedi and ninja knows how to do it, even the smallest ones. Anyway, we followed the kid Jedi back to the Temple, where Grandpa and Hokage Tsunade awaited. The Padawan was dismissed.

"Hey Gramps." I hopped to the ground and bowed. "What's up today?"

"Well, as you know, you four have a mission." Alex Masaki said. "Earth is once again under threat."

I groaned. "Can't they just leave that planet alone?"

"I'm afraid not." Tsunade flashed a small smile. "The Cassiopeia Galaxy has gathered allies in the conflict, including several Earthside nations like Hataria. Your task is to rendzevous at the Coredian Wormhole with the Tyrannosaurus and Megalodon fleets and take command of them for the duration of the conflict. You are to defeat the 'Central Powers' (we'll give you a current update of the political situation on your datapads) and restore peace to the planet. Got it?"

"Yeah, we got it, Tsunade-baba." Naruto smirked, seemingly oblivious to the older woman's twitching at that nickname. "You have nothing to worry about, for I'm going to kick their asses back where they come from!"

The rest of us sighed at Naruto's arrogance. But he does have the skills to back up his cockiness, so I guess we can't complain too much.

"Alright. When do we leave?" I asked.

"Now." Gramps replied. "The war will be tipped in the Grand Alliance's favor if you enter the scene quickly enough."

I nodded. "Very well. May the Force be with you, Gramps."

He bowed his head. "And with you."

The four of us zipped off into the hangar bay and took a small hawk-shaped shuttle out into space. We jumped shortly into hyperspace and arrived at the Wormhole. The wormhole was a large blue whirlpool big enough to send fleets through. It was stabilized by hypermatter reactors ringing the area and a medium-sized colony nearby took advantage of the trade boost the wormhole gave and asked for tolls from ALL ships passing through, no matter what type it was. Fair enough.

We landed at the Megalodon's hangar bay and was escorted to the bridge, where Commodore Samantha Lymann awaited in her command chair.

"Commander." The Commodore saluted and I returned it.

"Commodore." I replied. "Is the fleet ready?"

"Yes, it is." She nodded.

"Very well. Move into the wormhole." I ordered.

The fleet started disappearing into the wormhole. Engines brightened as the wormhole took hold and automatically operated the hyperdrives of the ships. Don't ask me how it happens, it just does. The space around it became silent once more, allowing the Wormhole Colony to rest once more for the next batch of ships passing through.

OOC: Anti Cap Ship missiles? Owch. But aren't they designed to be used in space, where there is little to no gravity and friction? On far larger targets?

Right. Just how many did you send?

You also don't know which buildings that my troops are in. Therefore, I would take less losses, as unoccupied buildings would be destroyed as well.

No scanners = less losses. You know the general location of the forces, but not the entrenchments.

12 Proto-Automata down
MCV slightly damaged, 1 of 40 Chainguns destroyed

I'll just bring in my fighters in... say... about 2 posts time.

IC:
The cumbersome anti-capital ship missiles were shredded as they descended by the swifter chainguns, but the sonic cannons were another issue. As the ordinance pods extended, 'sticky bombs' were lobbed into the open crevices, and were detonated.

The improved ordinance meant that the shields needed to be raised, and a shimmer around the vehicle showed as such.

The MCV was now somewhat safe, but also had revealed its position.

Whilst the automatons had yet to open fire, and were simply biding their time, the artillery were not so passive.

A barrage of plasma globes hurtled into the Cassiopeian droid army, while the troops moved around to avoid fire.

The Rail Cannon had come into play, its porcupine defence readied, and powerful High Explosive Plasma Shells (Anti-matter on an inhabited planet is immoral and wrong) rained down on the advancing army.

Further troops were deployed and they moved to conceal themselves.

The Droid Tanks Rolled, Fireing on The Artillery.

Up in Space Darth Bankai soon sent a message to The Homegalaxy to send all the Sith Lords to The Warzone, The Dark Jedis (about 237 of them) were to Stay in the Home Galaxy to protect it.

Darth Bankai was now getting on his own Fighter, heading to earth to led The Cassiopeian Grand Army to Victory.

"Ma'am. We got an answer."



The Empress sighed. "Very well. Is the space fleet here yet?"

"Not yet. We'll know when they are."

"Alright. Tell the Navy to deploy the sea units. If nothing else, we can delay the enemy with them."

8 frigates

6 1st Marine Division landing craft
8 supply/oil ships

The Hatarians were soon sending a Warfleet to stop The CoreWorlds Naval Fleet, since the Hatarians were Powerless against the CoreWorlds Space fleet.

4 Golden Queen Galaxia Class Carriers (with 56 Sivik-88 Intercepters in each Carrier)

The Palace Door slide open with a hiss and a Colonel walks in with a data pad and knocks on the bedroom door "Sir I most Humbly apologize for waking you and the madam but I have most urgent news." "What?!?" come a groggy voice thru the door. "We have an emergency on the Home world Terra and you are needed in the war room ASAP." At that moment a the Dictator comes out of the room dressed in his finest ceremonial clothes Sabbar hanging from his side."We must hurry now Sir." says the edgey colonel. As they walk in the war room the situation on Terra becomes immediatly clear. Without another second the Dictator rounds on the Colonel "I want our 10 Finest Marine Divisions on the 1st Carrier battle Group in 5 Days time and get the 67th Spec ops Group on their immediatly tell them to Prepare for Plan Tangent and Give a replie to President Blake we go to war for the Grand Alliance. I Shall Prepare for the Upcoming struggle and will meet you on the flagships brige in 6 days time." and with not another word we leave the war room.

Satellites over the ocean picked up the ships and relayed their position to the Coredian navy.

"Hmm. We seem to be outnumbered here." The Admiral of the fleet mused. "How long before they get into range of our Sea Tomahawks?"

"Judging by their speed and direction, I'd say about 6 hours."

"Very well. I know they'll have subs, so I want all ASW aircraft in the air asap. After that, launch the fighters. In other words, go to General Quarters!"

-----

Meanwhile, the space fleet has just reverted to realspace inside Mars' orbit...

"Go to Red Alert." I ordered. Klaxons rang out as the crew went to their battlestations. "Commodore, you have the bridge."

"Aye, Commodore has the bridge!" She repeated. "You're going out there?"

"Where else am I going?" I smirked. "C'mon, guys."

The four of us headed down to the hangar bay, even as turbolasers already blasted outwards for the Cassiopeian fleet. Upon entrance to the bay, several fighters have already gone out, and we're the next flight.

I took my XJ3 fighter. "Hey, Rocky. You ready?"

My droid twittered happily in reply. "Alright, let's go!"

Naruto favored an A-wing because it's very fast while still deadly. Sasuke climbed into his E-wing. Sakura chose another A-wing. As soon as we're all ready, we flew out of the hangar bay in a diamond formation and began to engage the enemy in space combat...

the Terror Soon Detected the enemy Fleet. "Send Out The Fighters and Engage them, ALL SHIP PREPEARE FOR BATTLE!" the Commander Ordered.

but Then The Ships were hit by enemy fire, 34 Fighters were Blasted to Scrap and the Captial Ships were getting Damaged.

500 Fighters soon Dropped out of Hyperspace and started Heading for Earth, The Fleet was to make sure the enemy would be Busy fighting them and not the Siths.

"Concentrate firepower upon the flagship." Commodore Lymann ordered.

The Artillery Star Destroyers blasted huge beams of blue-green energy at the Terror, while the other Star Destroyers and Cruisers began to bombard it with their heavy turbolasers and antiship torpedoes, careful not to get in the axial superlaser's arc.

500 Fighters soon Dropped out of Hyperspace and started Heading for Earth, The Fleet was to make sure the enemy would be Busy fighting them and not the Siths.
"Daniel, enemy fighters!" Naruto yelled.

"Right! I need fighter and gunship support, fast!" I ordered as soon as I saw just how many there are. The gunships replied by forming up and sending sweeps of beam lasers into the enemy fighter wings. That was followed up by dozens of fighters, blasting away with their laser cannons and torpedoes. The four of us, however, were to pick off the leaders, and so we did...

The Shields of the Terror were it 60% and Dropping. but The Superlaser was Powered Up and was Targeting one of the Artillery Star Destroyers, while Fighters were Protecting the Command Tower and the Superlaser.

"Fire!" the Commander Ordered and the Superlaser Fired at the enemy Ship.

4 Triobite Frigates were Attacking another enemy ship.

23 Sith Fighters downed
3 Capital Ships gone
328 Fighters Blasted.

The Corporation, so far totally unopposed made a swift blitzkreig into the next town, chimeras sped across open terrain, disgorging capitol police who quickly took up firing positions and laid down covering fire, incase of enemy snipers, leman russ battle tanks, rolled through the cobbled streets, their tanks commanders on the constant look out for enemy tanks...

Corporate artillery moved slowly along the road, troops following ensuring there were now surprise counter attacks...

Engineers moved up with the coloum and once at the town began to place road blocks, and defensive turrets about the place, as well as watch towers...

a Kreigsmarine sniper was placed in the church tower, he was well camoflauged and was on the constant look out for possible attacks, that might appear once the Corporations spear head pushes further into numonica....

The attack was 3 pronged, with 3 spear heads moving out against 3 different towns in the effort to extend the beach head, in each town the same occured, engineers began reinforcing the buildings and setting up road blocks and the usual defensive auto cannons...

the Kraven flag now flew over the the 4 towns captured by the corporation....

the next target was one of the larger cities of Numonica...

The Shields of the Terror were it 60% and Dropping. but The Superlaser was Powered Up and was Targeting one of the Artillery Star Destroyers, while Fighters were Protecting the Command Tower and the Superlaser.

"Fire!" the Commander Ordered and the Superlaser Fired at the enemy Ship.

4 Triobite Frigates were Attacking another enemy ship.

23 Sith Fighters downed
3 Capital Ships gone
328 Fighters Blasted.
The first Artillery SD went down in a bright explosion, but the other two retaliated by concentrating on the bridge itself, while the rest of the fleet continued to bombard the Terror despite increasing losses. The Strike Cruisers moved to fight the Trilobite Frigates and keep them off their larger brethren.

We, however, continued to pick off the Sith Fighters as the gunships came around for another pass, even as one went down and another had to pull out. We will take out as many as possible before we begin to send the troops to the ground...

Losses:
2 Lancers gone
3 gunships lost
1 Artillery ISD gone
1 Neb-B frigate lost.

The Terror's Shields were at 49% and the Superlaser was Powering up, which took a Long time, The Triobites and the Fighters soon Surounded the Terror and Prepeared to Fight the attackers.

The Sith fighters lost 56 of their own and were now in The Atmosphere heading for The Battlefield.

Darth Bankai looked at his Troops, Darth Bankai had ordered a Retreat from The Battle with Harukabi and to prepeare for Battle against The Jedi. The Grand Army of the Empire started their Retreat.

34 Capital Ships blasted to nothing
452 Fighters gone.

It was time, the leman russ battle tanks gunned their engines, awaiting the order for the general attack, the chimeras gunned their engines too, Capitol Police troopers were inside the armoured troop carriers, awaiting the time to go...

"This is Command relay to forward battalion.."

"This is Forward Battalion what are your orders?"

"Begin the general attack"

"Understood"

"This is Command tank Delta, Begin the Blitzkreig"

with the command to go, leman russ battle tanks and chimeras roared away, leaving a trail of dust in their wake, the tanks roared over fields and hedge rows, chimeras followed in their wake...

as the colum advanced, the artillery of the Kraven Corporation began to fire, many many thuds echoed throughout the valley as the corporation's artillery fired a peliminary bombardment, shells raining down miles in front of the coloum, in the distance the gentle rumble of exploding shells could be heard,

The Hatarian War Fleet was 700 Miles from the CoreWorlds Fleet. The Commandore, Yuamiazy Khan, ordered The Missiles, The 573-Gongantha Anti-Ship Missile, to be fired at the enemy ships. The Missiles were Launched 5 at a time from the Giant Black Dragon Class Battleships, one at a Time from the Smaller Ships.

The Planes soon started Takeing off from the Carriers, armed with The Neptune Anti Ship/Aircraft Missiles, The Planes were also Armed with a 55 mm Cannon for fighting enemy Planes.

The Subs also headed out ahead of the Main Fleet, ready for Battle.

The Battle of The Numonaican Sea had started.

The Terror's Shields were at 49% and the Superlaser was Powering up, which took a Long time, The Triobites and the Fighters soon Surounded the Terror and Prepeared to Fight the attackers.
One of the Star Destroyers began to pick off the enemy frigates as fighters began to engage their enemy counterparts in preparation for the attack runs upon the Terror. The Artillery Star Destroyers continued to send giant turbolaser blasts into the ESSD to further weaken the shields, especially on the bridge. Now all that counts is...

"Guys, form up on me." I ordered, and so Team 7, along with dozens of fighters and bombers formed up to begin the attack run upon the enemy Eclipse. It had a choice now. It can either stay, fight and die by our hands. Or it can flee, recover and fight another day.

The Sith fighters lost 56 of their own and were now in The Atmosphere heading for The Battlefield.
The gunships continued to harrass the Sith fighters even as they travelled down the atmosphere. This also signaled the Acclaimators to begin their own descent upon the planet. The gunships will then begin to support the sea units.

Darth Bankai looked at his Troops, Darth Bankai had ordered a Retreat from The Battle with Harukabi and to prepeare for Battle against The Jedi. The Grand Army of the Empire started their Retreat.

34 Capital Ships blasted to nothing
452 Fighters gone.
1 ISD heavily damaged
1 Lancer down
1 Neb-B2 down
30+ fighters killed.

OOC: I guess I'll be drawing out of this, unless Kraven decideds he likes my idea. All of the modern tech posts are kind of being pushed out of the way by all of the FT stuff,at least I think. My posts would only be lost in the statistics. Kraven, if I do make a post it will be for you to find one of my mercs, the one with the guns, and we can do an interrogation scene, that could be fun.

At 1:23 Pacific Standard Time, on August 2, the Holy Empire of the Orthodox Synod, chief religious nation of the Ecclesiastical Coalition officially announces it's support of the Grand Alliance by offering use of it's Holy Priests to bless the combatants in their fight against the Hatarians, who must be defeated for various political and religious reasons.

The Hatarian War Fleet was 700 Miles from the CoreWorlds Fleet. The Commandore, Yuamiazy Khan, ordered The Missiles, The 573-Gongantha Anti-Ship Missile, to be fired at the enemy ships. The Missiles were Launched 5 at a time from the Giant Black Dragon Class Battleships, one at a Time from the Smaller Ships.
"Admiral! Missiles are in the air!"

"Counterattack, then evasive action!" The admiral ordered. Tomahawks roared off from the missile subs, battleships, and battlecruisers towards the enemy carrier and battleship units. The smaller cruisers than began to fire missiles to intercept the enemy missiles before it reached the carriers. "Are all fighters in the air?"

"Yes, sir!"

Suddenly, a missile slammed into one of the cruisers, blowing it up and sinking with all hands. A second missile damaged a second cruiser, blowing up the bow section. A third missile literally disintergrated a destroyer, but all the rest were intercepted or splashed harmlessly, although one managed to attack a battleship, destroying one of the main guns and nearly killing the captain, and the ship began to list to port as water was taken on from a hole.

The Planes soon started Takeing off from the Carriers, armed with The Neptune Anti Ship/Aircraft Missiles, The Planes were also Armed with a 55 mm Cannon for fighting enemy Planes.
Missiles suddenly streaked through the skies towards the enemy planes as Advanced Phoenix Missiles were launched from Searaptors who saw the enemy coming through the AWACS plane in the area. The Advanced Phoenix was an upgraded model of the venerable Phoenix that the F-14 Tomcat once carried, and now, it's descendant was in use.

The Subs also headed out ahead of the Main Fleet, ready for Battle.

The Battle of The Numonaican Sea had started.
ASW aircraft deployed sonobouys and upon detection of the huge number of subs in the area, began to fire torpedoes into the water.

The attack subs waited quietly before they attacked with supercav torpedoes and slinked away to fire more.

At 1:23 Pacific Standard Time, on August 2, the Holy Empire of the Orthodox Synod, chief religious nation of the Ecclesiastical Coalition officially announces it's support of the Grand Alliance by offering use of it's Holy Priests to bless the combatants in their fight against the Hatarians, who must be defeated for various political and religious reasons.
The blessings have granted the Coredian forces a +1 increase in attack power and a +1 increase in defense for the duration of the current sea battle. We thank the Orthodox Church for their help.

Jared ducked out of the alley he was hidden in. He knew he had to meet up with Valerie, but He also knew by now she would be long gone from the randevouz, and out miles in the wilderness. Carrying an SMG is one thing, but why on earth did he even think he could manage carrying two and an m240. He knew that Val would like the gun, but when the capitol police had come he needed to get in deep hiding. Lugging these weapons around on foot was hard enough, but the troops that would kill you without a second glance made it neigh impossible, but still he had to at least go to the rendevouz. He saw his oppurtunity, a 1973 postal jeep, just hop in that thing and it's easy to hotwire. He made a break for it, tossed the weapons in the back, stuck his head under the dash, and had it running in a few seconds. He drove down the street, heading towards the rendevouz.

"Shit, a roadblock....along with........soldiers. Fuck." He drove the vehicle up to the roadblock and came to a complete stop, stepped out of the car, and put his hands on his head.

A capitol police trooper moved over to where the man was standing, GPMG held in the firing position... he was flanked by two others, and by the gate was stood another two holding Corporate Carbines...

"Where have you come from? What are you doing? who are you?" came the mechanical voice...

Meanwhile, two gunships flew low enough to spot the advancing lines of the Kraven tanks and began to send missiles and slicing beamlasers towards them. They were followed by three more, who also began to turn the tanks into sliced cheese. They were the advance scouts for the Acclaimators who would come very soon to add their own considerable firepower to the battle...

One of the tanks exploded in a shower of sparks, a chimera troop transport, the Capitol police troopers poured out of the transport, one was on fire... he casually walked out of the chimera and opened up with his GPMG, the others turned and opened fire on the passing craft...

one of the leman russ tanks took a lazer round to the front of the armour, it was rocked back... the lazer scorching the paint work off the front... the side sponson assault cannons opened fire...

"This is forward Command Tank.. We need Immeadiate Air support"

"Understood Command Tank"

From the carrier on the shoreline, several VTOL attack craft were launched and headed towards the coastline of numonica, to give support to the attacking coloum, the Admiral just hoped the tanks would survive the onslaught...

"A cell from the Mercenary State of Nation of Fortune," was all he said, He continued standing there. He knew he couldn't run five feet before he was so full of lead that he would be more metal than flesh. Even if he had turned around in the jeep they would have tracked him down. He knew the jeep was a rash move, but then again, They had the city locked down enough as to wehre he would have been found sooner or later, all he hoped now was that the legendary Valerie had gotten away.

"Admiral! Missiles are in the air!"

"Counterattack, then evasive action!" The admiral ordered. Tomahawks roared off from the missile subs, battleships, and battlecruisers towards the enemy carrier and battleship units.

The Hatarian Ships Fired Anti-Missile Missiles at the enemy Missiles, but a few got though, one Battleship was Damaged, one of the Missiles hit The Tower of a Carrier, takeing it out of Action. a Destroyer was Blasted To Scrap and another Battleship was Gone for good (It was Blasted.)

32 Planes were shot down, the rest head back to the Fleet as Fast as they could.

12 Subs were hit, but luckly, The Hatarians sent out their ASW Aircraft to look for any enemy Subs. The other Subs stopped and waited

"Hmph. Fools." The lead gunship turned to meet the enemy fighters and sent beamlasers and air-to-air missiles to attack the enemy attack craft, while the others continued to take on the Leman Russ tanks.

One gunship went down in flames when a well-placed missile took down the shields and a second ripped through the engines.

12 Subs were hit, but luckly, The Hatarians sent out their ASW Aircraft to look for any enemy Subs. The other Subs stopped and waited
13 planes went down after the battle ended, but the rest of them went to attack the ASW aircraft. Even so, one sub was sunk by the enemy ASW craft.

OOC: You're going to be chased, you know that?

The Rail Cannon's Shielding was more than capable of deflecting counter battery fire (It's all shrapnel, because of the fact that its indirect, and most SP artillery have this sort of capability), and the mines detonated below the tanks and infantry.

The retreating units did not have an easy time, as the Hakurabi forces were not about to give up.

As soon as it was clear that they were retreating, it was obvious that some greater need had arisen. The army could not be allowed to escape. Besides, the boys back at the lab needed some samples for some new project underway. Something about 'Force Cloaking'.

The missile armed automata moved to ambush and crush the remaining gunships, as the rocketeers and machinegunners hailed fire onto the fleeing troops.

The high speed artillery continued to harass the tanks, although their numbers had been thinned somewhat.

Total Losses:
80 Automata
5 Artillery
MCV has lost 2 chainguns.

ooc: i've not been keeping up for a couple of days so pls bear with me

ic: the fleet had been quietly floating through space abouve earth since the last battle. there had been harvy losses and the second fleet still had not arrived to replenish their ranks.

on the plus side the ground forces hadn't encountered any resistance for there hadn't been any assults made across the boarder, most of the enemy troops were landing on the beaches like the salatorians allies.

Vassleman wiped the dust from the vuescreen, its supprising that even on a ship made of metal there seemed to be dust enough to obscure the holographic map being projected into the centre of the room.

'well from what the remaining scanners are telling us the battle is still raging on this side of the planet', vassleman pointed to the large red dot on the dark side of the planet, 'and if what our readings are telling us are correct then we shold try to steer clear of that battle. the debris floating around us and the deralict ships left should make us look like a junk pile from or last engagement'

'yes yes, thats just perfect but what of our ground troops, surely we can make ourselfs felt on the ground?'

'ofcourse we can but we need to do some planning. more armies have gotten themselfs involved in this than we previously expected so we will need to tred lightly if we are going to follow this course of action.'

'well maybe you should try not blowing up every obstical in your way for a change then' the preatorian was tightly strung and unusually hostile towards his chief of staff, this war had barely begun and he was already showing signs of cracking

'i'll take it into consideration - now this is what i prepose...' the spinning green globe suddenly stopped and zoomed in on the tiny area of land that was the combat area '... as you can see our troops are located along here, they are blue. we have to cross this part of the country to reach the fighting but we don't want to go stepping on any intergalactic forces toes yet, not after what we did earlier today, we are much weaker now than we would hope to be so i don't want anyone putting the homeworld in their crosshairs. i say we concentrate on the less advanced races before we move on. this will free up some space and make the combat area much more accessable for our forces.'

'excellent sir' congratulated one of the generals in the room, all the other officers present nodded their agreement

'its agreed then, our forces move out within the hour, may i take my leave my lord?'

'just go Vassleman'

OOC: I'm assuming you're in the same area as the Hatarian troops and mine are, Shakurabi-- and if you're not, well, my airships have the range to hit you anyways considering how small this nation is *shrug*

As the Hakurabi forces advance, the Axis Nova airships make themselves known. Hundreds of hatches slide open and massive volleys of missiles vomit forth from every single craft, with additional long-ranged support fire being added by the 28cm, 36cm, and 42cm linear gun turrets. Over ten thousand missiles head towards the Hakurabi ground units, along with dozens of gigantic railgun slugs. At the same time, the carriers begin watching their UAVs.

Meanwhile, on the ground, the Axis Nova forces finally finish shaking themselves into shape, and ten thousand men on assorted light, medium and heavy vehicles of all kinds begin rolling forward, headed straight for the enemy. Their coming is presaged by massive barrages from MRLSes, rocket artillery, and large ground-based linear guns. The gigantic Admiral A-1s lead the force, their tough armor and impressive firepower being the best suited for taking the brunt of enemy fire.

OOC: Axis Nova: You are Meen.....I like that :)

Salatoria: I didn't see you on the List on the OOC Thread, So is IGNORE CANNONS AWAY!!!! *Fired 100 Ignore Cannons at Salatoria*

IC: 13 ASW Aircraft were downed. The pthers soon head back to the Main Fleet, which was now heading for the enemy Fleet. The Hatarians soon Fired another Round of Missiles at the enemy Fleet, to make clear to The CoreWorld Fleet that the Battle wasn't over.

A curious shadow passed over the area the airships flew over. It appeared to be triangle or arrow-shaped. It would have been dismissed if not for the barrage of rapid-firing laser cannons (not turbolasers, because they're too powerful for this theatre) from the Acclamator heavy assault ship that has just descended upon the planet! The ground forces have arrived, belching dozens of LAAT gunships to compound the problem the airships will have before landing and deploying the Marines and war machines.

Counterbattery fire took down some of the missiles, but a carrier was hit on the deck, stopping flight operations indefinitely and a battleship took a hit amidships, and a destroyer and two frigates were also killed. A second volley of missiles swarmed the skies, aiming for the carriers.

The Hatarians fired Their own Counterbatteries, but a Few Missiles hit one of the Carriers, Causeing it to sink, another was Damaged lightly, and a Destroyer was hit when it unknownly got between a carrier and 3 Missiles. The Destroyer was sunk.

The Only Carrier left on Damaged sent out it's Planes to take out the enemy Carriers, Followed by The Subs and the Rest of the Fleet.

(OOC: Hah! I KNEW one of you FT guys would enter the atmosphere with a giant ship sooner or later, and fall into my trap! BTW, link to stats on my airships here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=386733) I'm working on putting the rest of my military stuff in that thread too.)


The Axis Nova airships, despite being somewhat technologically inferior to the gigantic ship attacking them, hold the line as laser cannon shots begin gouging chunks out of the armor or (occasionally) blasting off a turret, though several of the smaller frigates and corvettes take heavy damage, pulling out of the line to return for repairs. Massive linear gun shells are salvoed back, along with many, many air to air missiles. In the meantime, secondary guns and point defenses blaze away at the LAATs, matching their energy bolts with a fusillade of guided bullets, micromissiles, and streams of 40mm linear gun slugs. At the same time, Peregrine UAVs that were on CAP begin their attack, salvoing IMP missiles and STAAMs at the cloud of LAATs beginning to descend. The massive destroyers and single Lucifer Class air dreadnaught slowly begin pulling out of formation, clearing the way for something... but what?



However, this was not the real threat to the immense planetary assault ship.

The answer to that question was quickly answered

...as the OLED camoflauge on 13 Merethyn Gunships in formation about five miles away disengages, revealing the small vessels with their cannons and reciever arrays deployed!

While two of the power stations on orbiting natural resource satellites are inoperative, the backup station orignally built on the Moon to test the concept is fully operational... and a laser lock-on beam fires from the Moon, passing through the atmosphere and hitting the reciever array on the Gunship at the center of the formation. The sight is quite spectacular and visible to everyone in the area, even those in space-- a glowing blue-white line stretching between the Moon and Earth.

However, this wasn't the real show. That comes in the form of brilliant light and auroras as the microwave power beam follows the laser down to the center gunship, it's radius easily being large enough to charge the other 12. The two large particle accelerators spin up on each Merethyn, throwing off halos of sparks as the microwave reciever arrays on each ship greedily suck in enough energy to power the US's eastern seaboard for a day.

As the charging process completes, the ships change formation slightly so that they arn't in each other's line of fire, and then each lets loose a massive charged beam, scorching through anything small in it's way, headed straight for the massive planetary assault ship. The incredible energy being released lights up the entire area, and the gunships fire their engines on full to stay in position against the recoil. The radar systems of every nation in the area suddenly just show a white screen, and nothing but static can be heard from radios. One of the damaged frigates accidentially is caught in the leakage from one of the beams, and shocked eyes all over the entire battlefield watch as the entire ship seems to erode away in slow motion as it lurches and accidentially turns right into the beam, leaving not a trace behind of hundreds of tons of armor, firepower, and engines...

The Hatarians fired Their own Counterbatteries, but a Few Missiles hit one of the Carriers, Causeing it to sink, another was Damaged lightly, and a Destroyer was hit when it unknownly got between a carrier and 3 Missiles. The Destroyer was sunk.

The Only Carrier left on Damaged sent out it's Planes to take out the enemy Carriers, Followed by The Subs and the Rest of the Fleet.
"Sir, bogeys incoming!"

"Send out the Interceptors!"

Superhornets and Super Tomcats roared off the decks of the two other carriers and began to engage the enemy planes in the air. Under the sea, sonobouys picked up submarine contacts and the ASW destroyers began to send torpedoes at the contacts, while helicopters flew to aid the destroyers in the search-and-destroy mission. The attack subs maneuvered to flank the enemy subs and let loose with their own torpedoes, all turning the waters between the enemies into a deathtrap.

------
OOC: Very good. It would have worked...except for the shields.

IC:
Numerous LAAT transports were taken down by the massive display of energy firepower, but more managed to get out of the way. It looked as if the Battle of Juria it was going to be destroyed as the impacts shuddered the ship. In reality, the shields absorbed the energy blasts, although the energy bled through and knocked off some of the turrets. In retaliation, the Battle of Juria sundered the enemy airships with such a massive broadside of laserfire and torpedoes that it was suicide to fly through the lights of death. Following up was the fighters from space, raining death and destruction upon the Axis Nova air fleet.

In space, a bomber squadron was dispatched to search and take out the laser station on the moon before it would strike again.

The Grand Army of The Cassiopeian Empire soon Marched and was ready to Battle The CoreWorlds Force, This Plain, the Plain of Le Rova would be the sight of the Battle of The Year.

The Terror had it's Superlaser Powered up. "Fire! The Commander ordered. it was about to Blasted a ISD when it happened.....The Shields were gone........along with the Power to The Weapons.

"All right! Let's finish this! Keep the bastards off our tail!" I ordered as the fighter squadrons charged right for the ESSD. I focused the Force around me, and flew right down the spine of the Terror for the bridge. The four of us executed the Trench Run upon the Exlipse Super Star Destroyer and then popped two missiles each into the bridge before we inverted and descended upon the planet itself with the rest of the ground troops. The fleet can take care of the rest.

One of the Victory Star Destroyers descended to meet the Trilobite frigate and do battle with it, supporting the two Acclamators as they disgorged every LAAT they carried and then landed, turning into giant stationary artillery platforms and headquarters for the ground troops, as well as disembarking the larger artillery pieces and walkers. It was under the umbrella of one of the Acclamators that the four of us landed our fighters and began to confer with the general in charge of the ground forces, talking about tactics around a hologram of the battlefield.

"We can flank them on the left and right with the tank and hover MRLS units, they're faster that way, then drive through the center with the walkers to pound them until they're dust." I suggested, looking at the holomap of the battle.

"There's reports of Dark Jedi on the battlefield, though." The General frowned.

"That's our job." I smirked. "Otherwise, make sure you use sonic cannons or heavy laser cannons on them. They can't block all of that power."

"Alright. You need a command gunship?"

"Yeah, we do." I smiled. A command gunship landed to pick us up and then we sped into the air, watching the battle unfold and waiting for the right time to unleash our own powers upon the Dark Side...

The Command Tower was Blown to bits, the rest of The Crew was not getting into the escape pods. The Ships was now doomed.

Darth Bankai and the Sith Lords were now in the Battlefield, he looked at the enemy...Jedis.

"All Divisions.................ATTACK!!!!!" he Yelled as the Army of The Cassiopeian Empire Attacked, Blasters Fireing and Lightsabers up. The Battle had started.

The Destroyer of Death had Damage, which was bad, The Ship Fought Back, Missiles and Turbolasers Fireing at the enemy Ships in one Last Battle.

OOC: Can everyone tell me where their forces are in numonica, so i can update the map, thanks

OOC: In the general area of where Hataria's forces are; my air units are in the same general area, albiet spread out a bit.

The Command Tower was Blown to bits, the rest of The Crew was not getting into the escape pods. The Ships was now doomed.
"Finish it." The Commodore ordered quietly.

Heavy turbolasers began to sunder the now-doomed ship again and again...

Darth Bankai and the Sith Lords were now in the Battlefield, he looked at the enemy...Jedis.

"All Divisions.................ATTACK!!!!!" he Yelled as the Army of The Cassiopeian Empire Attacked, Blasters Fireing and Lightsabers up. The Battle had started.
True to the plan, the tanks roared forth first, maneuvering into position as the walkers rumbled forward. Turbolasers and missiles from the friendly units were sent upon the enemy in a deadly clash of the titans.

Meanwhile, clouds off the coast started moving in, building up power until they became cumulonimbus clouds. I smiled as I could sense the buildup of electricity in the air, even as battle rages around us. "Perfect..."

"You're going to do it, Daniel?" Naruto smirked.

"Yep." I grinned, and concentrated on the electrical buildup. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled across the sky. Suddenly, lightning bolts crashed to the ground upon the enemy forces as they charged forth, lightning powerful enough to blow up the smaller vehicles.

As I summoned forth the powers that gave me the nickname of the Lightning Master, I sensed in the Force...a Dark Lord of the Sith and his cadre of Dark Jedi...

The Destroyer of Death had Damage, which was bad, The Ship Fought Back, Missiles and Turbolasers Fireing at the enemy Ships in one Last Battle.
The Victory Star Destroyer took the brunt of the attack and held firm, although several fighters went down to the barrage. In return, the Vicstar unleashed its own turbolasers upon the enemy frigate.

Hataropoils, Hataria

General Nadia Le Harvre was Summun to The Golden Imperial Palace. she knew what Serena Wanted, to send her to Numonaica. She reached Serena's Room and she was Surprised from what Serena said.

"You are to take troop transport Ships, all empty of troops, and Take them to Numonaica, escourted by ten Destroyers, The Neherenia and my Ship, the Empress Serena and wait for the Cassiopeians to come when they retreat." Serena said. Nadia know that Serena was planning a recuse Mission, but didn't know who was to be rescued...till now.

rescue Fleet

2,837 Transport ships
10 Pacifica Class Destroyers
1 Neherenia Class Heavy Battleship (the HMS Neherenia)
1 Empress Serena Class Light Battleship (The Royal Flagship Empress Serena)

The Numonaican Sea

The warfleet was now 99 Miles from the enemy Fleet and 18 Subs were sunk. The Subs Fired Torpedoes and Subrocs at the enemy Subs.

The Battle wasn;t over yet

"Finish it." The Commodore ordered quietly.

Heavy turbolasers began to sunder the now-doomed ship again and again...


True to the plan, the tanks roared forth first, maneuvering into position as the walkers rumbled forward. Turbolasers and missiles from the friendly units were sent upon the enemy in a deadly clash of the titans.

Meanwhile, clouds off the coast started moving in, building up power until they became cumulonimbus clouds. I smiled as I could sense the buildup of electricity in the air, even as battle rages around us. "Perfect..."

"You're going to do it, Daniel?" Naruto smirked.

"Yep." I grinned, and concentrated on the electrical buildup. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled across the sky. Suddenly, lightning bolts crashed to the ground upon the enemy forces as they charged forth, lightning powerful enough to blow up the smaller vehicles.

2,183 Droids Destroyed
1,728 Clones Killed
88 Siths Killed
one Frigate Blasted to Bits.

Darth Bankai sensed The Jedi and soon took to the air. He looked and sensed and saw the Leader of the Jedi Army in a gunship, he soon started flying to it, his twin Lightsaber on as he was ready to battle the Jedi.

The Terror soon started Blowing Up. The Cassiopeian Fleet rescued the Crew and then Retreated. they weren't staying to be Blasted to nothing.

The Grand Army's Droid Tanks and one Spider Walker soon Started Fireing against the enemy Mecha, Repeating Blaster Cannons blasting at the enemy.

The Numonaican Sea

The warfleet was now 99 Miles from the enemy Fleet and 18 Subs were sunk. The Subs Fired Torpedoes and Subrocs at the enemy Subs.

The Battle wasn;t over yet
It sure wasn't as several destroyers and a battleship were taken out by the submarine forces, while the ASW choppers sent one last volley of torpedoes into the water before they had to turn back.

Meanwhile, a Wolfpack (from space) descended upon the enemy naval fleet like their namesake animals upon a moose. They roared over the water, sending laserfire and torpedoes into the fleet, hopefully decimating them.

((OOC:Kraven, are you going to take my soldier into custody to interrogate him?))

I sensed the Dark Lord and sent a bolt of lightning crashing down upon him. If nothing else, I could clip his wings and engage him on more even ground...

The Terror soon started Blowing Up. The Cassiopeian Fleet rescued the Crew and then Retreated. they weren't staying to be Blasted to nothing.
The Megalodon's crew cheered as space superiority was achieved, but the commodore was somber as they lost a couple of Star Destroyers to achieve their goals.

The Grand Army's Droid Tanks and one Spider Walker soon Started Fireing against the enemy Mecha, Repeating Blaster Cannons blasting at the enemy.
Several walkers and tanks, as well as a hundred marine infantry were killed in the first volley. But the plan held as artillery batteries began to blast into the enemy forces with hypersonic shells and LAATs 'sniped' the Spider Walker with their beamlasers. It appears that the Coredian forces had the upper hand at the moment...

Darth Bankai was hit and Fell, but soon got back up and used one of his More deadly attacks, The 'Force Fire Blast Wave' Force Lightning turned into a Wave of Fire that would Burn anything or anyone in it's way.

The Spider Walker fell and was down for the count. More Droid Gunships soon started attacking the enemy gunships, Missiles and Repeating Blaster Cannons fired at the enemy.

The Fleet was being blasted from The Sky and Water, a Battleship was hit in the Propelers and was not Moveing, then is was Destroyed by the attacks from Space. More Ships were being hit.

The Subs were haveing a wrose time, Torpedoes Sunk ten more of them, a Counterattack soon started as The Subs Fired more Torpedoes at the enemy Fleet.

The Planes were now engageing The enemy aircraft (The Wolfpack) and Fireing The Cannons at them.

"Dodge it!" I ordered the pilot.

"I'm trying! It's all over us!" The pilot yelled.

The fire smashed against the shields like a tsunami, buckling them and cutting off the engines. It was only by my strong Force skills that we didn't get burnt to a crisp.

"We're going down!" Naruto yelled.

"Brace!" I shouted, and we braced for the impact. The pilot lit the repulsarlifts, and managed to make it a controlled crash, but he was killed by the impact, while we tumbled out of the gunship and ran away from it before it exploded.

Then we quickly met up to get orders. "Naruto, Sakura, lead the armed forces against the Sith army. Sasuke, you're with me to deal with the Sith Lord."

A speeder rolled by to pick up the two ninjas, while Sasuke and I turned to the Sith Lord, red and blue lightsabers ignited respectively.

The Spider Walker fell and was down for the count. More Droid Gunships soon started attacking the enemy gunships, Missiles and Repeating Blaster Cannons fired at the enemy.
More LAATs fell to the enemy fire, but they would not give up and sent AtA missiles and laserfire into any of the enemy that was still fighting.

The Fleet was being blasted from The Sky and Water, a Battleship was hit in the Propelers and was not Moveing, then is was Destroyed by the attacks from Space. More Ships were being hit.
"Begin broadsides!" The Admiral ordered.

The battleships that survived turned to port or starboard and let loose their main 16" cannons upon the enemy ships, especially the large battleships.

The Subs were haveing a wrose time, Torpedoes Sunk ten more of them, a Counterattack soon started as The Subs Fired more Torpedoes at the enemy Fleet.
One of the gunships began target the subs and let loose with a hail of light turbolaser fire.
Meanwhile, a battlecruiser and three frigates were sunk. One carrier began to list to the side by the impact.

The Planes were now engageing The enemy aircraft (The Wolfpack) and Fireing The Cannons at them.
The cannon fire plinked off the shields and a hail of laserfire and torpedoes met the enemy planes as the corvette and three other gunships bombarded the enemy fleet with relative impunity. Unfortunately, one of the gunship's shields flickered to a lucky hit...

The Hatarian Fleet was Fireing everything they had at the enemy, 45 Planes were down, most of the Subs were destroyed and Ships were sinking. The last Carrier sunk and now The Commandore knew waht he had to do....Retreat as Fast as they could.

Nadia's Rescue Fleet soon came to Numonaica. Nadia saw the Warfleet retreating. The Hatarians had lost that Battle of The Numonaician Sea.

Nadia had to wait for the Cassiopeians if they Retreated.

All the destroyers were sunk by the parting shots. Only one carrier, one cruiser, two battleships, one battlecruiser, and four frigates were left in relatively light damage. All the rest were either sunk or damaged heavily. One sub was left alive. It had cost much to achieve this victory.

"We've done it, sir." An aide aboard the only working carrier left smiled to his Admiral.

"Yes we have. Let's go home."

"Uh, Admiral, sir? We got more contacts." Radar reported.

The admiral groaned. "Where? What composition?"

"They're coming from the area of the retreating ships. Sir, there's a hell of a lot of ships..."

"Very well." The Admiral sighed. "Send a missile barrage to cover our retreat. Signal the wolfpack up above to deal with them."

"Aye, sir."

The last of the missiles lit off and were sent towards the enemy newcomers as the Coredian navy slowly steamed back to home to repair after picking up survivors. The Admiral composed a report to the Empress on the victory over the enemy sea forces, but was unable to continue the fight due to heavy losses.

The gunships regrouped and saw the new enemy fleet coming in. Missiles streaked into the sky after the enemy, and the gunships followed, making an attack run upon the fleet.

OOC: Can everyone tell me where their forces are in numonica, so i can update the map, thanks

My forces are sitting tight wherever Hakurabi is located. I don't occupy any land though, i'm just wreaking havoc with his troops.

((OOC:Kraven, are you going to take my soldier into custody to interrogate him?))

(OOC: Yes, mt pc is on the blink at the moment, and I'm using my mates pc who has a weired Japanese/english keyboard, and my massive oversized hands are having difficulty in operating the keyboard, so i apologise in advance for any typos)

The Capitol police troopers stood waiting, ignoring what this man had just said, the Controllers knew what to do and where deciding upon what course of action

then without warning the troopers made their move

"You are to come with us"

the two troopers placed the GPMG's into the holstered position on their back packs and grabbed his two arms, giving him no choice in the matter of their orders.

the man was dragged, the two troopers striding beyond his ability to keep up, it felt like they'd been dragging him for miles before he was thrown at the steps of a numonican government building, from its front hung three banners, each black with the kraven double hammer logo in the middle, the centre banner was longer than the two outer ones, it showed the kraven war machine moved quickly, and made sure anyone near by knew they were in control, Kraven armoured coloums moved around the city, and the presence of the Capitol police was strong...

two different troops appeared to pick him up, they wore full tactical combat armour that made the armour of the CP look like tissue paper, but under neath was a bio containment suit, the visor of this trooper glowed with a faint green, his face obscured, each trooper had two white letters spray painted on the right hand side of the chest plate, these two letters were "CF" the picked him up with minimal fuss and walked him into the building, each trooper held a compact assault cannon, its chain link fed into a large back pack worn by each trooper...

inside officers walked too and fro, carrying documents and other assorted items, more of these new troops were inside, guarding corridors and door ways..

the walked into the building and approached a door... one of the troopers let go and grabbed the door handle, twisting the handle and quickly opening it, inside was a single chair, a table and a lamp...

they threw him inside... tumbling he skidded across the room and hit the back wall pretty hard, these soldiers had some strength...

the door was slammed shut and with a click it was locked.. there were no footsteps signaling that they had left, meaning they were probably guarding outside the door...

There was nothing for this man to do but wait for what ever fate had in store for him...

OOC: So much happened while I was in Texas, with my broken @(*$&%# laptop, that I'm just gonna RP landing my ACS, alright with everybody?

IC:

The pinnaces blazed a path through the atmosphere, blasting the ground in their landing zones with laser fire, while the Shuttles and Dropships, escorted by powerful Grizzly and Legion Gunships, took a more sedate approach, dropping their loads of tanks and walkers in relative peace, inside CP controlled territory, while the Pinnaces had a much hotter drop near the frontlines, guarding the Banshee III shuttles carrying the ACS Battalions to the battlefield.

Map Updated, but i still need to know where Hataria is so i can add the other natiosns

The gunships regrouped and saw the new enemy fleet coming in. Missiles streaked into the sky after the enemy, and the gunships followed, making an attack run upon the fleet.

35 Troop Ships were destroyed with all ten Destroyers, The Neherenia was Damaged. Luckly, the Empress Serena was ok, and Nadia knew that the enemy would blast them all.

"RETREAT!!! ALL SHIPS RETREAT!!!!!" She ordered. The Fleet now headed for La Rochelle, in hopes the Cassiopeians would head for there if they retreated.

Jared said nothing, did nothing, he let them do what they would. He was quite surprised that they didn't search him for weapons, but it didn't matter, even if he could get out. He sat there waiting for whatever they would do.

Laser fire continued to pour into the enemy ships even as they retreated, raining death and destruction from above with impunity.

Darth Bankai soon saw the Jedis coming at him and soon went underground, he wasn;t going to let the Jedi win this Battle. He was going to Kill The Jedi.

The other Sith were being Killed, 321 of them dead, the others were fighting, lightsabers glowing.

The Grand Army on the other hand was getting it wrose of it. The Clones and Droids were getting fewer and fewer.

the end was coming.

The hatarians were going at full Speed, 12 more Ships gone and The two Battleships were now leding the fleet to Hataria...FAST!!!!

Darth Bankai soon saw the Jedis coming at him and soon went underground, he wasn;t going to let the Jedi win this Battle. He was going to Kill The Jedi.
"It's a Doton (Earth technique)! Jump!" Sasuke yelled. I didn't have to hear it twice, and we jumped into a tree that managed to survive the battle to avoid the Dark Lord.

The other Sith were being Killed, 321 of them dead, the others were fighting, lightsabers glowing.
"TAJUU KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!" A loud voice shouted at the top of his lungs. Suddenly, 300 clones of Naruto appeared in a large cloud of smoke. Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is translated as Mutiple Shadow Clone Technique, which creates hundreds of clones that can fight an army such as this. Only problem is that once they are hit, they disappear in a puff of smoke.

One of them then shouted, "CHARGE!!!" And in a mad melee of orange clothing and blond hair, the clones ignited their lightsabers and rushed forward to attack the Sith army.
http://www.leafninja.com/jutsu/TajuuKage.jpg

As for Sakura? She was doing fine locking blades with her enemies then punching them out with nasty blows that could crack rocks.

The Grand Army on the other hand was getting it wrose of it. The Clones and Droids were getting fewer and fewer.

the end was coming.
"Push the advantage!" The General ordered. "Charge and crush the enemy!"

Tanks and walkers surged forward, firing at the enemy as the infantry moved with them to deal with the clones and droids. The battle of the plains was turning into a rout in favor of Alliance forces!

Darth Bankai's POV.

I came up from under the Ground, Lightsaber ready.....only to find the Jedi in a tree. Smart Jedi, I thought, They went up a Tree. I looked behind be to see The Jedis winning, 67 More Sith fell to the Jedi Army and the Grand Army, My own Personal Army! Being blasted away.

I soon desided to Chop down the Jedi in the Tree, I charged at the Tree and Hit it with my Lightsaber.

Normal POV.

The Grand Army was now Retreating, down to 12,000 and all the Walkers gone, The Clones and Droids started Runing for their Lifes.

The ACS troopers were advancing through the tree-line, their pinnaces were overhead, raining death on anything that moved, killing first and asking the corpse what its intentions were.

The Goliath and Hellmaker walkers set up a perimeter around their base camp, while the Arclites set up defensive positions in the center, where their 170mm Shock-Cannon could do the most good.

Daniel:
The tree began to fall and the two of us jumped away, landing on our feet like cats.

"We attack together." I said and Sasuke nodded. Red and green lightsaber hissed to life and we advanced on the Sith Lord...

Normal POV.

The Grand Army was now Retreating, down to 12,000 and all the Walkers gone, The Clones and Droids started Runing for their Lifes.
The Marines have by now seen the rout and called for air support to finish off the enemy forces. A flight of X-wings and two gunships flew low over the battlefield, strafing away with red beams of destruction or an occasional torpedo. After all, we don't let up on the enemy until they surrender.

The ACS troopers were advancing through the tree-line, their pinnaces were overhead, raining death on anything that moved, killing first and asking the corpse what its intentions were.

OOC: Who are you assaulting? I'm confused.

OOC: I'm attacking TKC near Granoble, coming from the northwest to hit their line of advance.

The Leman russ battle tanks returned fire, massive battle cannons lobbing shells at high velocity, heavy bolters opened fire as well... cutting down foliage and spitting equal death at the forces...

one leman russ's turrets exploded, showering the nearby area with metal shrapnel, the side gunners and the driver were unharmed, the autoloader and commander dead or destroyed...

a squadron of VTOL attack craft roared over head, giving covering support, assault cannons flared into life, cannons spinning at insane speeds...

Anything short of bolter shells simply caromed off the armor, and the bolters were less than optimal weapons, shattering the armor they hit in a small area, but not penetrating very well, injuring many, but killing few, while the powerful Grav-guns ripped out lines of DU pellets, their flight looking like so much lightning until they hit something, and their kinetic energy erupted in wracking explosions, devestating the landscape around the blasts.

Each regiment had a total of one company of Grim Reaper Heavy-Weapns suits, a single squad in each Company added up pretty quickly, now they showed their worth, their much larger Grav-Cannon opened up on the V-Tols attacking them, the powerful DU bullets, propelled by their AM charges, ripped out of the barrels at just under .5c, half lightspeed, now thoase bullets were sent against the relativelty light V-TOL attack ships, while the pinnaces engaged the heavy tanks of the Kraven forces with 10cm laszer batteries.

(OOC: Map updated)

The room that the man sat in was cold and felt empty...

then with a click the door opened and from the outside, in strode a reichmarshal... his black uniform in stark contrast to the bland walls of his make shift prison...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v399/HorusGodEmperor/SecretPolice.jpg

http://www.duneart.com/harkonnen.jpg
(The Troopers that were Inside the building, CF Sardaukar)

"I am Reichmarshal Sturvorg... I will ask you some questions... and you shall answer truthfully... You may wonder why we havn't checked you for weapons, well that is because your in the most heavily fortified of Numonicas cities and for you to try and escape will be scuicide... and now I shall begin... Why are you here? Who are you? and what is your mission?"

"I am a mercenary from Nation of Fortune, I was here, and then they ordered me to keep tabs on how the war progressed. If you don't believe that I'm a Nofian agent, then check the tatoo on the back of my neck, no other nation customarily tattoos kill tally on the back of their agents neck. But ultimatly I see a mutually benefital agreement here. As you may or may not know, Nation of Fortune trains the best mercenaries in the world. Working a contract would make my leaders happy, and you would have more troops at your disposal. Although don't expect to get the special forces operatives unless your willing to pay some seriously hefty fee's," Jared waited for a response.

The Reichmarshal thought for a moment, he rubbed his features with his hand.

"You are batering your way out of this predicament, which I have to say I admire most people who face the might of the Corporation generaly cower away like rodents, Ok you have 5 minutes to interest me, tell me every thing..."

"We kidnap all of our soldiers as children as young as three our four. We then train them to perfection doing whatever it takes. If they fuck up we beat them, they waste food break their leg, for major crimes they are electrocuted, etctera. They are stripped of indiviuality and any desire to leave. In turn they become physically fit and stay that way through their entire usefull life. We train them using only the best soldiers in the country so they learn everything they need. After four years of this intense training they are put to the final test. The way the test is designed no more than half of the soldiers to be will walk out alive. The test consists of a survival portion in a forest rigged with traps at just about every corner, a one on one fight to the death, and a written test to determine placement for a specialization. Their are many schools of specialization, I happened to get frontlines, which is general infantry. I know they keep making more, but last I knew the schools of specialty were Scout Sniper, Special Forces, Espionage, Torture, Charm, and Frontlines. Only certain soldiers get into the special forces school, and despite what they rank best in they go to SF regardless. I've only met one of them, and anyone in NoF will know who she is. The word amongst the ranks is that they are genetically modified, but I have no clue. I know that one of the special forces soldiers could take at least ten of the armored soldiers without even getting a scratch, and probably kill at least fifty before they died. As for me I was a slightly different story, I was kidnapped from a different country when I was about thirteen, so I'm no where near as loyal as most of them, but then again I much more disposable. Their isn't much else that I know, although one thing is that alot of the soldiers have an animal trained that will help them somehow or other, beit just to hunt for food on LRP's or take an enemy out in a combat situation. I know nothing else, do with me as you will." He stood firm to the reichmarshal, He had been stripped with his right o live either way, if he ran, he was dead from these soldiers, and even if he did escape, Nofians always confirmed the death of their soldiers, and if they ran, they persued.

OOC: Methinks I'll save your Jared's life, NoF, if I can untangle myself from the Sith Lord and you somehow manage to survive. You'd be a good addition to my ninja ranks. ;)

OOC: Methinks somehow Jared was made to die, and doesn't need saving.

OOC: Rats.

OOC: Rats.
OOC: if you really want him, and that also depends on what Kravens reaction is

The Axis Nova attack practically flattened the automata firing on the Cassiopeians, and they were forced to withdraw. No one had ever briefed them for this. Every one of the troops were pulled back, and the retrievable emplacements were vanishing. No amount of infantry could defeat that much.

Heck, they'd need to call in a battlecruiser to be on even ground with even ONE of those!

At any rate, mines were dug up, demolition charges retrieved, barbed wire wound up, and the rail cannon packed back into a thousand convenient little suitcases.

As the last of the equipment and automata were packed into the command vehicle, A retrieval freighter was called for.

That, and fighters.

---
With the news of Cassiopeia deploying hundreds of Force-Gifted Soldiers (Surprisingly enough, they had a relatively dense Force-Gifted population.), as well as further capital ships, and then the distress call from the ground forces, who had been bombarded by what seemed to be airships and subsequently rooted out.

This was enough to convince the military heads to deploy several wings of fighters.

(OOC:Freshly Deployed forces...
1 x Heavy Freighter (Unarmed, more for rescue effort)
The Carrack class Heavy Freighter was originally designed for shipping goods to worlds that have yet to construct a spaceport. Nearly obsolete now, they have been more heavily armoured and shielded to provide battlefield landings.

44 x "Timberwolf" Heavy S/A Fighter-Bombers
Timberwolves are heavy fighters with the capacity to operate in both Space and Terrestrial Combat. Their fusion engines, when afterburn is engaged, propels them to allow the fighters to catch most fighters and outrun non-specialised missile fire, although when afterburners are engaged it also creates a distinctive stream of burning plasma - both a blessing and a curse. They are fitted with two inner wing mounted 250Gw Pulse Lasers, a rack of forty fusion bombs (low yield), and a veritable arsenal of missiles. Their missile loadout consists twelve Plasma ATA missiles and eight Anti Shipping Missiles as of this mission. And yes, they ARE equipped with shields.

12x "Witchhunter" Experimental S/A Jammer Fighters
The Witchhunter is a curious fighter, sacrificing huge amounts of power to use a singular ability - To jam all use of The Force(tm) within a certain radius in a very crude manner: Simply flushing it out of a said area. Further research is being conducted to conceal the fighter using The Force(tm), but as of yet only the painfully obvious (to those who can detect it) gaping hole. With only a rudimentary shielding device, twin 120mm Chainguns and an array of plasma missiles, this fighter specifically designed to combat those able to manipulate The Force(tm), making them, as they say, only human. The hope is that the shock from a sudden cut back in sensory input will be enough to grant the time to strafe said Force(tm) user before they can regain concentration. The vulnerability of this fighter (until the kinks are worked out) means they are included in groups of 3 with the Heavy Fighter-Bombers, with whom they share a deliberate similarity in appearance for camoflage purposes.)

OOC: A couple of things

Hakurabi:

a) 250 gigawatts? You do realize that one shot releasing that much power would be enough to slag a crater hundreds of miles wide, right? 250 megawatts might be more believable.

b) Coreworlds, didn't notice your response to my airships until now-- but there's no way you can launch LAATs and have the shields up at the same time. Not to mention those airships poured more energy than half a dozen big nukes into that ship. Even by FT standards that's a gigantic amount, at least if you're using Star Wars tech =p

edit: For that matter you're violating the rules by having any gigantic ships in the atmosphere anyways. Right in the first post of the OOC thread it says you can only use fighters and your own ground forces (and presumably the dropships associated with deploying them) :p

(OOC:well, if you don't mind him dying i can have him field executed, or ill allow him to go... or something else,)

The reichmarshal sat thinking, then suddenly got up and left the room, with a click the door was locked leaving jarred to whatever fait awaits him..

Not to mention those airships poured more energy than half a dozen big nukes into that ship. Even by FT standards that's a gigantic amount, at least if you're using Star Wars tech =p
OOC: If you manage a second volley, the Acclamator will be crippled, especially if you hit the repulsarlifts keeping it in the air (I have 3. 2 on the ground deploying troops, the third in the air as a anti-everything artillery platform). Didn't realize just how much energy is poured onto the shields until now. As for the shields: I can selectively turn off a portion of the shields (the hangar bay shields) to deploy the gunships. SW ships don't use all-encompassing shields like some other Sci-fi, they use emitters on different sections of the ship. Of course, it is a risky thing in battle to do that at any rate...

edit: For that matter you're violating the rules by having any gigantic ships in the atmosphere anyways. Right in the first post of the OOC thread it says you can only use fighters and your own ground forces (and presumably the dropships associated with deploying them) :p
OOC: Acclamators are planetary assault ships, the largest ship in my arsenal able to enter atmosphere and land on ground or water, or hover like your airships. Besides, I'd love a broadside duel between two different airships: one using missiles, the other using laser cannons! :D

PS: I notice your airships are almost as big, so quit hypocriting! :p
BTW, what's your MSN?

The reichmarshal soon returned with a second officer, he wore a different uniform to the reichmarshal, but still looked imposing and militaristic...

"We have decided that your more use to us alive than dead" the reichmarshal spoke

The second officer began to talk while opening a brown file and passing it across to Jarred.

"This is Mini Miehm, his sudden attack upon our advancing forces at Grenoble has caused us some problems, we want you or a team of specialist to disrupt his supply lines and has war effort as much as possible"

the file contained pictures of Mini's forces engaging the heavy tanks of the Corporation, and detailed read outs of their advances...

"Im sure you will accept this little offer of ours, as the only alternative is a swift death at the hands of a Kreigsmarine firing squad but as a little incentive so you won't decide to go and blow up our supply lines.... you will be paid very nicely... Do we have a deal?" the officer finished, tenting his fingers and awaiting a response....

OOC: Just a quickie before I go to work

IC:
"As you wish. All I need is some contact with the motherland." He patiently awaited them to bring him to some sort of Comms device.

OOC: Ah, alright then. My MSN is gundamexodes@hotmail.com.

OOC edit: Hey, you FT dudes in the Central Powers? How about some air cover over here-- I can't hold off Coreworlds and Hakurabi forever. Also, Hataria, please be so kind as to scramble some MiGs. They may be antiquated, but they should be sufficient to go after those LAATs :)

IC: Not wanting their opponents to get away so easily, the Axis Nova ground forces are on the Hakurabi forces like stink on a monkey, the fast-attack Hound FMB monocycles zipping through the disarrayed forces with their 20mm linear guns and 12.7mm machineguns blazing. In the meantime, the closing Admiral A-1s begin barraging the enemy positions with their triple 155s and main guns, sending a rain of gigantic shells onto troop concentrations while continuing to advance, with lighter vehicles advancing behind, firing their light weapons at any target of opportunity that presents itself.

As LAATs, bombers, and fighters of various types continue to stream back and forth over the battlefield, another unpleasent suprise is disgorged in addition to the heavy AA fire already coming up from the Axis Nova positions: clouds of SAMs and tracers begin firing upwards from the Admiral A-1s. The SAMs in short order prove to be super high speed kinetic kill types, and the streams of tracers move to and fro with inhuman accuracy as their automated computer control system tags and attacks anything not broadcasting an Axis Nova IFF.

It appeared the Axis Nova military was taking no chances against it's high-tech opponents-- a continuous barrage of firepower heads out towards both the enemy ground and air units.

Meanwhile, the suprised captains of the Merethyns find themselves the recipents of a massive counterstrike from the Coreworlds ship. A full eight of the squat vessels take the brunt of the blasts, shuddering as their armor is pierced through repeatedly, before exploding in a brilliant flash as their fusion reactors go critical. A further two are heavily damaged, and drop out of the line for an emergency landing, smoke pouring from large gaping rents in the hull. The other three, however, manage to re-engage their OLED camoflauge and successfully evade the Coreworlds fighters, slipping away to a new position.

The other Axis Nova Air Navy forces, despite being technologically inferior to their opponent, prove themselves to be no slouches as they make up for the Coreworlds and Hakurabi's quality fire with a vast amount of quantity. Gigantic linear guns continue firing, their thruum-CRACK! firing sounds being heard all over the battlefield, and another horrendously large volley of cruise missiles begins launching, this time headed for the grounded assault transports. At the same time, a truely ridiculous amount of air to air missiles begins to launch, aimed at every enemy air unit in the area. Such is the volume of missiles launched that even the gigantic Lucifer Class Air Dreadnaught (the flagship of the AN forces in the area) is shrouded by exhaust smoke for a brief moment before the missiles accelerate away and begin attacking LAATs, fighters, bombers, the assault carrier still in the air, and the Hakurabi transport coming in from space. These were no ordinary air to air missiles, either-- while there are certainly plenty of the type one might expect to see from a fighter, the larger size of the Axis Nova airships lends them to also carry MUCH larger missiles as well, and amongs the massive storm of missiles are air to air missiles that more resemble Patriots, or missiles that would be intended to heavily damage things such as other airships... Even so, however, the return fire from the Coreworlds ship takes it's toll, and big chunks of armor and engines and other miscellaneous equipment go flying off of assorted airships as the laser fire eats into them. Still, the ships hold the line, continuing to match the assault transport blow for blow, hoping to bring down or overload the shields through sheer weight of fire.

A small swarm of corvettes and frigates begins to close in on the floating assualt transport, headed for the portions of the shields where LAATs are launching, hoping to get through. Along the way, their missile launchers, guns , and point defense weapons blaze away as well, aiming primarily for fighters and LAATs.



Off in another portion of the battlefield, a laser line from the sky again begins heading down, though nothing is immediately obvious there. However, the Coreworlds sensor techs this time know what to look for, and quickly pinpoint yet another Merethyn-class disengaging it's OLED camoflauge as it prepares to charge up it's cannon...

"Missile swarm!" Many a cry rang out as the fighters, bombers and LAATs tried to dodge the fire coming from the super-tanks, but went down in flames. Missiles streaked in the sky to impact the walkers and mission-killed several of them.

But it was not over yet, for countermissile fire in the form of laser bolts downed many of the SAMs that tried to reach the friendly forces. The giant tanks -designated Big Bastards by the Marines- became the primary target of artillery fire from SPHA-T and Hover MRLS systems, as well as air support from low-flying gunships who dove low to avoid the fire. And the walkers who survived the barrage turned towards the tanks to unleash hell upon them using the primary mass-driver weapon on their backsides (All-Terrain Tactical Enforcers, in other words), sending hypersonic shells to them as gifts.

"Damn, they cloaked!"

"Try firing on their next likely positions as they move!" One pilot suggested.

"Right-o!" The fighters moved through the hail of gun- and laserfire to fire at random locations where the enemy may have gone to. If missed, they moved on. If hit, they swarmed the ship like flies on rancid meat.

The missile swarm took its own toll upon the Battle of Juria as the shields were getting overwhelmed by the massive missile barrage of the enemy forces. The massive peppering of the enemy missiles was about the only thing that would damage the shield generators to the point of overload, as any sufficient bombardment can do. One by one, the hull became exposed to weapons fire and turrets were blown off left and right. But the Acclamator was still in the fight as it traded broadsides with the larger enemy airships.

The fighters and gunships did everything they can to keep the corvettes and frigates off the Acclamator, as the point-defense guns added its own considerable firepower to hold them off. But it was not enough, for a corvette managed to blast one of the repulsarlifts holding the ship in the air, crippling it and forcing it to dip lower into the atmosphere. Crew worked frantically to hold the ship in the air, and managed it, but they lost nearly a thousand feet of air in the process, a thousand feet closer to the hard, hard ground.

"Sir! We've got another one of those charge-up things!" A pilot yelled.

"Well let's take it out before it takes us out!" Another one ordered. A flight of X-wings and E-wings rolled to engage the enemy vessal, pouring laserfire and missiles into it...
