OOC: In an effort to reduce clutter in my main Coredian Campaign thread, I must ask all participants to place the space battle here.

IC:
It was nearly ready. Upon arrival onboard the Imperium, Grand Admiral Walter Rommel, Supreme Commander of the Interstellar Defense Force Navy (IDFN), began reading the ready reports of all the ships that would depart Jurai for Earth. It went as follows:

1 Super Star Destroyer, Imperium.
3 Hokage Battleships
3 Elite Star Destroyers: Chimaera, Minotaur, Velociraptor.
5 Artillery Star Destroyers.
5 Shinobi Battlecruisers
5 Dragonstorm Battlecruisers
15 Missile Star Cruisers
25 Advanced Star Destroyer mk III
20 Advanced Star Destroyer mk II
15 Strike Cruisers
20 Nebulon-B2 Frigates
25 Lancer Antistarfighter Cruisers
20 Carrack Light Cruisers
30 Wolfpacks

Secret IC: 5 Stealthkiller Stealth Detection ships

Secret IC:
1 Star Battleship, Duel of the Fates
5 Elite Star Destroyers
10 Lancers
10 Wolfpacks

Planetary Invasion Fleet:
Wolfpacks
5 Victory Star Destroyers
5 Acclamator Heavy Assault Cruisers
Many, Many troop transports.

Army:
3 Army Divisons (1st Army (mixed), 2nd Mech, 3rd Infantry)
2 elite Marine Corps Divisions (5th Marine, 6th Marine)
1 Battle Droid Division (SBDs, Droidekas)
(total compliment to exceed 3 million troops not including the logistics)
500 Jedi
1000 Ninjas

Now Rommel merely needed to wait for the signal to move out...

OOC: Do you want to transfer the other Space battle posts from the other thread, or should we just pick up where we left off in this thread?

OOC: I sure will!

Previous posts:
The attack was soon responded to, starships dropping out of hyperspace just outside of the FTLi Field and proceeding to the Cassiopeians. Here, if it were indeed possible, the Cassiopeian Über Star Destroyer would be downed where it stood. (You deploy something that big and not expect immediate reaction?)

---Near Earth---
The fighters soon realised what was happening, and scrambled for two seperate objectives. A number of fighters attempted to escape the Jamming zone, to call for heavy reinforcements, while others simply hunted the slow moving satellites.

The Hatarian meeting was also not to be ignored, and the scanners watched where the ships were going. If any of them could drop just a single bomb on such a meeting, the entire campaign could be stopped.

Three fighters headed for Hatariopolis.

Before long, there was a response fleet deployed against the Cassiopeians.

Even one of the elusive 'Elite' Battlecruiser pilots had been attracted to this decisive battle.

followed by...

The Hatarian had Detected the enemy Fighters and soon sent the Welcome Mat: 6 Squadrons of Raven Intercepters, a New type of Raven Fighter, these were made to Destroy other Starfighters. Six Repeating Blaster Cannons (Two at the Nose and Two on Each wing.) were the Main Weapons of The intercepter.

The Fighters soon Attacked, all Six Repeating Blasters Fireing at the enemy fighters.

2,367 Starfighters (Raven Intercepters and TIE Phantoms.)

897 Gunboats (T-74 Gunboats and "Firehawk" Class Heavy Gunboats.)

45 Imperial Star Galleons

19 Allegience Class Super Star Destroyers

helped by...

The Cassiopeians soon Attacked, The Fighters attacked first, engageing the enemy fighters, The Allegience Super Star Destroyers and The Star Galleons stayed back, ready to attack.

The Satellites were ready incase of a attack by enemy Fighters, they were Shielded very Heavy.......and armed to the Teeth with Repeating Blasters for defense against fighters. The Satellites fired at the enemy fighters.

The Harukabi were Traped.

and...

The First fleet moved in, with the H.S.S. Nemesis in the rear, towards the enemy fleet and began to unload it's special "Cargo" to earth. Lord Vorman looked out at the holo-map which dicpated the battle between the Hakurbians and the Cassiopeians.

::Let's help our "allies" fight the enemy. Captain, send out the signal to begin Vorman attack pattern delta 4.::

"Delta 4!?"

::Question, captain?:: Vorman leered at the Nemesis's captain.

"No sir. All unit's, begin Vorman Attack Pattern Delta 4."

<Roger that.>

The fleet began to form up. The light ships (the Retrebution and Everquest Cruisers) were to stay infront of the Nemesis, and the heavyer ships were forming up above the Nemesis and below. Forming an alignment something like this:

. . . .
. . . .
. . . .

If the enemy had any idea what they were about to face, they would be trembling in fear by now.

and in comes a good-guy...

After several minor problems that delayed the arrival of the Beta Aurigean fleet the finally burst out of hyperspace into the Sol System. Running in perfect formation the fleet proceeded at full speed to the already pitched space battle.

"Report," called Admiral Larcat to the pit crew.

"I have multiple ship signature broadcasts in the space around Earth sir. It seems that the Hakurabi fleet is under assualt from the combined forces of the Huntaerians and the Cassiopeians. They're holding there own for now but for how much longer I don't know the Huntaerian fleet is more than twice as large as ours."

"Well we'd better go and try to even up the odds," replied Larcat. "Release the fighters and advised the wing commanders that targets are at their descretion until they recieve different orders. Ready the dropships for troop transfer to the planet's surface."

"Aye sir, fighters released."

"Battle group commanders this is Grand Admiral Larcat, Captain Porter you will take the Relentless and half of Battle Group Three and engage the Cassiopeians. Captain Georges you will take command of the rest of Battle Group Three and deposit your troops on the planet. Meanwhile I will take Battle Groups One and Two and engage the Huntaerians," as the other commanders blinked off of the screen, the Aurigean fleet broke up and began it's attack.

"Battle Group One and Two form up around the Sabertooth and initiate attack pattern Delta 7."

"We are in firing range sir," the weapons officer informed him.

"Commence firing," ordered Larcat, "Concentrate on their center with all weapons we need to break throught their line and divide them."

The battle for Coredia was joined.

Let the Battle in Space commence!

OOC: Tag! I'll be putting this in my RP section in "Bookmarks"

As stated in my post on the Thread sign up, I have 1000 ships in each fleet (4 fleets total). The number of fighters in the fleet is determined by the amount of fighters the ships can hold (gonna take a while to get calculated)

Command Ship: H.S.S. Terminator
Commander(s) Emperor Trilkan, Lord Dominkive, Grand Admiral Jurnaka

OOC: Will there be a land assault thread as well?

IC:

The first fleet moved in as ordered, and was headed towards the Hakurabian fleet as well as part of the Coredian fleet.

::SO! We're going to meet the Coredian's in a space battle again? Now, lets fight to the death!:: The Grim Reaper-like lord let out a terrible laugh which filled the ship, ::FIRE ALL WEAPONS!::

The ships in the front of the fleet were the first ones to start firing at the enemies. Bright Orange lasers were shot out of the Advanced Turbolasers, and Advanced Laser Cannons at the enemy ships and fighters.

The Nemesis, however, began to target it's Axiel Super Laser at the nearest enemy capital ship. It's weapon was charging up, and a bright red light can be seen at the tip of the Nemesis.

OOC: Do note that the Axiel super laser carried onboard both the Sovereign and Eclipse SSD's firing distance is ~30km (30,000m). It's the same for these T(owerless)SSD's and any other SSD. So far as I'm aware.

OOC: Does anyone feel that my fleet(s) are a bit godmodish? Just currious.

12 more Starships soon Dropped out of Hyperspace, these were Trilobite Class frigates, The Ships soon Started Fireing on the Harukabi Ships, Turbolasers and Torpedoes fireing at the enemy.

There was the remnants of a battered Advance Fleet in orbit around Terras moon, now they moved out of that cover and clove into any oppponents that were cloe enough, and there were plenty of GA ships nearby for them to go after, the Three Metal Militia class SDns went after SDs 1v1, while lighter Carrier\DNs and Leviathnans tried to get at least 2v1 for the larger SDs, and settled for sending the remaining gunships after the lighter SDs, anything under Imp class in fact.

OOC: Does anyone feel that my fleet(s) are a bit godmodish? Just currious.

OOC: One my fleets show up, with my Worldship, your fleets will be the last thing on anyones mind my friend, I may not have your numbers, but I have just as much firepower in a much smaller shell.

OOC: One my fleets show up, with my Worldship, your fleets will be the last thing on anyones mind my friend, I may not have your numbers, but I have just as much firepower in a much smaller shell.


OOC: Heh. You're opposite of me then. Small, technologically advanced ships.

Me, Large, not-as technologically advanced.
I guess we're technically even.

EDIT:
Cancel that. We're on the same team you know.

IC:
The fleet slowly moved in.

::Fire the Ion Cannons at the nearest starships.::

"Aye my lord. Fire all Ion Cannons."

Then, brilliant bright-blue lasers emmitted from the fleet towards the enemy ships, rendering most of them immobile (actually, Hakarubi and CoreWorlds decides what happens to their fleet).

::Send out the troops.::

"Aye sir!"

Assault shuttles of all sorts carrying ~20 Space Marines each began to fly towards the enemy fleets. They were battle hardened, and knew their stuff. Your next move... Vorman thought to himself.

In a grand and nasty effort to slow down the enemy forces, a lot of Golan IIs and IIIs began to fade into view and opened fire upon the enemy Star Destroyers and other craft. These babies were designed, of course, to fight such capital ships to a standstill, but not quite in those numbers, despite them being quite numerous themselves.

Meanwhile, in places such as islands in the Mon Calamari Archipelagos and near Atlantica, buried under mountains in the Dragon Mtns and hidden in the Demonic Deserts and also ringing the Coredia Lake, giant planetary turbolasers and ion cannons came online and rose out of their hiding placed via giant repulsarlift platforms. They were fed data from powerful sensor stations nearby and then charged up power, drawing in green or blue specks of light before lashing out in giant green blasts of energy or giant blue globs of EMP energy at the enemy forces.

http://www.galacticholonet.com/Weapons/Pics/Planetary_Turbolaser.jpg

http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Tech/Beam/IonCannon.jpg

Smaller but no less potent turbolasers and ion cannons also reached out to take bites out of the enemy, especially the smaller ships.

Turbolasers and Ion Bolts skittered off of Capitol ship shields, creating a brilliant light show, but for now unable to reach the ships within the shields, that would eventually change, but hopefully the KEWs would do their job first.

Every bolt possible was plotted back to its source, and then targeted by a Leviathan KEW launcher, there would be a few less attacks in the next round, as lumps of nickel iron, accelerated to the insane speed of .8c, fell into the atmosphere, at the size of a "modern"(like 06) Tank, they were definitely enough to at least cripple the batteries.

OOC: As far as I can tell, your numbers are fine Huntaer, a bit on the large side but OK. If it becomes necessary, just to even the odds I will bring in my second fleet, which is essentially the same as my first fleet (only 1000 ships though) but they are a little less experienced as they are trained for defensive rather than offensive maneuvers. Oh, and you seem to have forgotten my attack on your forces, it wasn’t that detailed so I’ll elaborate on it in this post before we count up losses.

IC: "Target your superlasers on the command ships," instructed Larcat to the Battle Groups, "If we're lucky when we take the head off the body won't grow a new one and we can better solidify our position. Estimated time to firing?"

"Ten seconds sir."

"Target the Petulant and Assimilator Classes first then work your way down. And if you can manage it, take a few potshots at the command ship just to keep them on their toes."

"Thee seconds sir....Firing."

All of the sudden the space above Earth was alight with the near simultaneous firing of eighty-nine superlaser blasts, seventy-one of which were focused on the Huntaerian Fleet, and the other eighteen focused on the Cassiopeian Fleet. (Insert number of losses here) ships were reduced to dust but and overwhelming ammount still remained.

"Recharge and fire again," ordered Larcat, "Take us in closer and engage them nose to nose we must break their lines."

"Aye sir," replied the ensign.

"Sir! Reading Heavy Turbolaser targets on Earth!"

"Meaning they weren't there before?" Barbious asked.

"Yes sir."

Lord Vorman leaned over the two officers. ::It looks like there's one inside the Dragon MTs. Send some of our troops on the surfface to go and attack it. Have the rest attack and conquer Stony Village and then move onto the Dragon Mts Interstellar Defence Force Base.::

"Yes my lord."

::Have some of the Assimilator's fire their Mini-Axiel Super Lasers fire at the planet's cities. Specifically; Coredia City, Theed, and Corusca City::

OOC: The Mini-Axiel Superlasers can cause massive planetary devistation if there isn't a sufficient shield on the target's. The fire power ranges from 1/4 to 1/2 the power of an Axiel super laser. The fire power can vary between cannons.

OOC: As far as I can tell, your numbers are fine Huntaer, a bit on the large side but OK. If it becomes necessary, just to even the odds I will bring in my second fleet, which is essentially the same as my first fleet (only 1000 ships though) but they are a little less experienced as they are trained for defensive rather than offensive maneuvers. Oh, and you seem to have forgotten my attack on your forces, it wasn’t that detailed so I’ll elaborate on it in this post before we count up losses.

OOC: Sure. Sounds fine.


IC: "Target your superlasers on the command ships," instructed Larcat to the Battle Groups, "If we're lucky when we take the head off the body won't grow a new one and we can better solidify our position. Estimated time to firing?"

"Ten seconds sir."

"Recharge and fire again," ordered Larcat, "Take us in closer and engage them nose to nose we must break their lines."

"Aye sir," replied the ensign.

IC:
The Regenerative Ablative Armor on the Petulants was already raised, deflecting/absorbing the blasts without much significant damage (they're designed to go up against Super Star Destroyers). The Assimilators, however, did take lots of damage. Enough to catch the other fleet's attention.

::Have the ITSD Mk I's attack the enemy fleet. Keep them from destroying the Acclamators. Have the Petulants run into the enemy fleet. They're capable of handling themselfs for days on end,:: Vorman ordered.

"Aye sir. Carrying out orders."

::Target our Axiel Super Laser at the enemy flag ship. Also have all available Ion Cannons from the Petulant's target it as well.::

"As ordered."

The Huntarian Fleet isn't about to let the enemies win this one.

::How soon till the 3rd fleet arrives?::

"Nearly 15 hours sir. They're still mobilizing."

Damn it Aelikes. Where are you when I need you?? ::Make sure the fleet holds here! We shall not retreat. If the situation worsens, we'll crash our ships onto the planet's surfface, causing MAXIMUM DAMAGE to the Coredians!::

Turbolasers and Ion Bolts skittered off of Capitol ship shields, creating a brilliant light show, but for now unable to reach the ships within the shields, that would eventually change, but hopefully the KEWs would do their job first.

Every bolt possible was plotted back to its source, and then targeted by a Leviathan KEW launcher, there would be a few less attacks in the next round, as lumps of nickel iron, accelerated to the insane speed of .8c, fell into the atmosphere, at the size of a "modern"(like 06) Tank, they were definitely enough to at least cripple the batteries.
Shots were launched every ten seconds, much like superlaser shots, only slightly weaker. But the numbers and different types of energy blasts ensured that there would be multiple shots for the enemy, although Huntaer was a higher priority.

The deflector shields of the cannons took most of the lumps of nickel-iron and vaporized them, shuddering the cannons, but two were knocked out of commission reducing the numbers.

"Sir! Reading Heavy Turbolaser targets on Earth!"

"Meaning they weren't there before?" Barbious asked.

"Yes sir."

Lord Vorman leaned over the two officers. ::It looks like there's one inside the Dragon MTs. Send some of our troops on the surfface to go and attack it. Have the rest attack and conquer Stony Village and then move onto the Dragon Mts Interstellar Defence Force Base.::

"Yes my lord."

::Have some of the Assimilator's fire their Mini-Axiel Super Lasers fire at the planet's cities. Specifically; Coredia City, Theed, and Corusca City::

OOC: The Mini-Axiel Superlasers can cause massive planetary devistation if there isn't a sufficient shield on the target's. The fire power ranges from 1/4 to 1/2 the power of an Axiel super laser. The fire power can vary between cannons.
The shields rippled under the axial superlaser blasts, turning the power of several weeks' sustained conventional bombardments to one weeks' sustained conventional bombardments.

In return, the planetary turbolasers and orbitial Golan systems concentrated most of their fire upon the Assimilators, ensuring that at least heavy damage would occur.

::So, they're landing upon the beaches? Send out the Specter Squadron. Have them cause their usual havoc, except send half of them to the planet's surface, and the other half will remain in space.::

"Yes sir."

Specter squadron was soon launched from the Hangar Bays of the Nemesis, and cloaked, rendering the enemy blind.

The fighters were launched as ordered. Though the Coredian Pilots have encountered their tactics before, the rest of the enemy hasn't. Even those who've fought against the terror tactics of Specter Squadron, they're still susceptible to the fear.


::Order the Tie Planetary Bombers to strike both the surfface and the enemy fleets Captain. Render as much chaos as possible.

"Admiral a portion of the enemy fleet is moving to intercept."

"How big a portion," asked Larcat through gritted teeth he was begining to have a newfound respect for the Petulant's armor.

"Big enough sir."

"Very well. This is Larcat to all Battle Groups fall back and reform around the Golans we need to find a more subtle way through them, it seems a direct assault will prove ineffective until we reduce their numbers a little more. Lay down detering fire to have them keep their distance while we regroup. Bring the back up shield generators online and reroute their power into the main generators. That should deflect a superlaser blast or two. Hopefully that buys us enough time."

The Aurigean fleet fell back away from the advancing Huntaerians and began reforming around Golan defense platforms. They only had to keep up a steady destruction of enemy ships until they came up with a new plan.

OOC: I lost about 15 ships during the retreat, I'm figuring out how many of each right now.

OOC: Be sure to deal losses from my planetary turbolasers/ion cannons and Golan systems, Huntaer. Both defense types are designed to fight ISDs and defeat them.

Bump

Corneliu's Naval fleet jumped into orbit around Coredia to find a space battle in progress.

"RED ALERT!" Captain Jamison shouted. "Launch all available fighters and prepare to engage the enemy."

The fleet launched towards the enemy space forces. The fighters arrived at the enemy first and began to engage the enemy fighter forces.

This is Captain Rogers to fighters. Form up by squadrons and engage the enemy forces. We need to keep them away from the planet.

The fighters formed up by squadrons and began to fight off the enemy attack.

A few minutes later, the forward destroyers began to fire at the enemy fleet.

OOC: Forces in battle

1 Super Star Destroyer

20 Destroyers
40 Crusiers
6 spacecraft carriers
16 Battleships

864 carrier planes
288 From the SSD

1000 ripples in the fabric of space and time shook the very edge of the Solar System; the void rending asunder as the ships advanced from the holes in the very tapestry of reality. Warp energy surged forward with them; the roars of daemons desperate for the Material World... The 1000 ships tasted that sweet nectar; as the sharp prows of their mighty vessels cut forth into the void.

"Open communications" That languid voice hissed from his thronbe; reclined amongst flesh, gold, silk; he cared not...So long as it pleased him.

"Communications open, my Lord. Speak"

"I am Remiel, Warmaster of the Chronosian Imperium. I have come here to once and for all purge those known as the Coredians, the Coreworlders....From this very plane. Masaki, your first death was an illusion; the second, shall ensure your soul feeds the Gods. Those of the Central Powers; those who shall crush this filth. We pledge our hand to your alliance."

And with that, the 1000 ships slid forward; intent on crushing all the enemies who stood before them; and ridding the galaxy, once and for all, of the pathetic Coreworlders. No longer would they be thorns in his side; and no longer would his debt to Nightshade exist...He would be rewarded.

The Godulan vessels, already in-system, watched the action begin, and had already begun maneuvers predicate on jumping into the middle of the enemy fleets.

"Allocate thirty Red Rain Torpedoes, target the Huntarian and Mini Miehm fleets, and fire on my mark."

"Allocating Torpedoes, Ready."

Achaedus watched as the Huntarian and Mini Miehm fleets weathered the withering hail of planetary defensive fire, then picked the moment when he suspected the least number of defending fighters would be affected.

"Mark."

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

At first, it seemed like nothing was really occuring at all to the enemy fleets, beyond the ground fire, of course. It was presently just a bit of a slugfest between the space forces and the ground.

But then... shit happened. Red Rain came down all over them.

Thirty massive torpedoes, all 1km in length and about 200m in diameter, materialized over both enemy fleets, and immediately dispersed their truly deadly cargoes, unleashing thousands upon thousands of high-yield fusion missiles on the unsuspecting fleets that targeted vessels at random and launched forward.

The large number of fusion missiles were complimented by a 750 meter ramming wedge which had originally supported the massive armament, and was now just a giant armored, shielded, and self-propelled spearhead that targeted the largest ships in sight and went into overdrive, aiming for fighter bays, primarily, and engine blocks otherwise. Neither Imperial vessel nor Protoss vessel were spared the onslaught.

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

"Torpedoes away."

"Excellent, commence calculations to put us right in their face, set the Slaughterkings on No-Prisoners mode, and lets get ready to rumble."

"Sir, I have the full specifications on the Petulant Class ships. You were right sir, that armor of their's doesn't work forever. Every two hours it needs to be shut down and recharged. When they shut down we can destroy the ships."

"Great work Commander. Have the sensor crews keep a close watch on them, I want to fire on them the second that armor goes down."

"Aye sir."

"Larcat to Relentless, lets see if we can't catch them in a flanking maneuver. Take you battle group around the side and commence attack. I'll send group two through the center to keep them reeling."

Battle Group Three separated from the main force and swung around the side of the attacking Huntaerians letting loose a full barrage torpedoes into the side of the Huntaerian fleet as they closed the gap and opened up with their turbolaser batteries and ion cannons. Meanwhile the second group advanced on the center again, turbolasers and ion cannons flaring to life once more as they targeted the enemy capital ships. Fighters swarmed the enemy ships sending torpedoes and bombs into vital areas of the larger ships as their shields flickered and died under the onslaught from the Aurigean Fleet.

OOC: Huntaer, when you post next can you give a figure of when you need to recharge the armor so I can put in an attack? I didn't want to post that your armor went down because that wouldn't be fair considering that they are your ships. Oh and the force attacking you now is around 1000 ships. I still have group one in reserve (around 475 ships).

1000 ripples in the fabric of space and time shook the very edge of the Solar System; the void rending asunder as the ships advanced from the holes in the very tapestry of reality. Warp energy surged forward with them; the roars of daemons desperate for the Material World... The 1000 ships tasted that sweet nectar; as the sharp prows of their mighty vessels cut forth into the void.

"Open communications" That languid voice hissed from his thronbe; reclined amongst flesh, gold, silk; he cared not...So long as it pleased him.

I smirked as I heard Remiel's voice, and opened channels to the ships out at the orbit of Pluto. "Ah, Warmaster Remiel. How nice of you to join the party! I would have thought to bring the main course, but I figured you wouldn't show. My bad! Here, let me give you something to choke on."

I sent a secure hypersignal to Jurai, to the Imperium fleet, and then I would wait.

----
The Imperium Fleet has reached the Milky Way in a secure location, and now, they wait for the signal from Coredia.

SSD Imperium

"Admiral, we've recieved the signal." Comms reported.

"Very well. All ships, jump immediately!" The Admiral ordered.

The glow of half a thousand ships' engines lit the night sky like stars, and they jumped to Earth. ETA? 1 hour, reverting near Jupiter.

Shots were launched every ten seconds, much like superlaser shots, only slightly weaker. But the numbers and different types of energy blasts ensured that there would be multiple shots for the enemy, although Huntaer was a higher priority.

The deflector shields of the cannons took most of the lumps of nickel-iron and vaporized them, shuddering the cannons, but two were knocked out of commission reducing the numbers.


The shields rippled under the axial superlaser blasts, turning the power of several weeks' sustained conventional bombardments to one weeks' sustained conventional bombardments.

In return, the planetary turbolasers and orbitial Golan systems concentrated most of their fire upon the Assimilators, ensuring that at least heavy damage would occur.

The first Leviathans took hits, losinfg engines and weapoins to ion blasts, or losing chunks of hull plating to turbolaser shots, they were getting hit harder now that they had played their hand, but they were also hittingt back, and that was enough to keep them happy, soon Carrier\Dn PDCs woul;d come into play, and then the real damage to their attackers would begin.

The sky above Coredia was beginning to get hazardous to anyone's health as large metal objects rained down from the sky and giant bolts of green and blue rose in reply. The batteries were going out one by one, but there were enough to keep going for a good while.

the Cassiopeian Star Destroyers and Star Galleons soon Attacked The Coredian ship, The Fighters and frigate also Joined The Battle. The TIE Phantons cloaked and started after the enemy Starfighters.

One of The Allgence Class SSD's attacked the Relentless, The Scorpion Walkers, Cassiopeia's Answer to The Coredian SPAH-T Walkers, Fired at the enemy, The Lasers on the Tails Aimed at the enemy ship's Briage.

Three more Star Destroyers, Imperial Class Star Destroyers soon Dropped out of Hyperspace and attacked the Godulan vessels, Scorpion Walkers Blasting at them.

"Sir the mini miehm fleet is shelling Coredia."

"Target them and open fire with the primary superlaser. Then pull us back to a defensive position. Have the battleships take point and engage."

"Right away captain."

Moments later, the super laser on the SSD fired a devestating blast onto one of the Mini Miehm ships. When the shot was fired, the engines were thrust into reverse to move the ship into a better defensive position.

When the super laser fired, the battleships moved to the forefront and engaged the enemy. Fighters moved towards them firing of a spread of missiles to distract them.

The Godulan vessels, already in-system, watched the action begin, and had already begun maneuvers predicate on jumping into the middle of the enemy fleets.

"Allocate thirty Red Rain Torpedoes, target the Huntarian and Mini Miehm fleets, and fire on my mark."

"Allocating Torpedoes, Ready."

Achaedus watched as the Huntarian and Mini Miehm fleets weathered the withering hail of planetary defensive fire, then picked the moment when he suspected the least number of defending fighters would be affected.

"Mark."

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

At first, it seemed like nothing was really occuring at all to the enemy fleets, beyond the ground fire, of course. It was presently just a bit of a slugfest between the space forces and the ground.

But then... shit happened. Red Rain came down all over them.

Thirty massive torpedoes, all 1km in length and about 200m in diameter, materialized over both enemy fleets, and immediately dispersed their truly deadly cargoes, unleashing thousands upon thousands of high-yield fusion missiles on the unsuspecting fleets that targeted vessels at random and launched forward.

The large number of fusion missiles were complimented by a 750 meter ramming wedge which had originally supported the massive armament, and was now just a giant armored, shielded, and self-propelled spearhead that targeted the largest ships in sight and went into overdrive, aiming for fighter bays, primarily, and engine blocks otherwise. Neither Imperial vessel nor Protoss vessel were spared the onslaught.

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

"Torpedoes away."

"Excellent, commence calculations to put us right in their face, set the Slaughterkings on No-Prisoners mode, and lets get ready to rumble."


Upon the Torpedoes emergence there was an immediate reaction among the Arbiters, Warp Tears opened up, both in front of the torpedoes, and amongf the Godulan fleet, they had decided, very swiftly, that the Godulans should be given their obviously large and expensive toys back, the few not caught in the tears were divided almost evenly between the TD fleet and the Huntarian forces, 3:5, 5 going after the TD fleet, and wreaking untold havoc among the fighter swarms that accompanied every fleet, but most of the attacks were distracted by the fighters, and that kept the Cap-ships safer, though a leviathan was destroyed by one of the rams, and three more were badly damaged, but the last was hit with a yamato cannon shot, enough to vaporise almost anything that was sent against it.

"Sir the mini miehm fleet is shelling Coredia."

"Target them and open fire with the primary superlaser. Then pull us back to a defensive position. Have the battleships take point and engage."

"Right away captain."

Moments later, the super laser on the SSD fired a devestating blast onto one of the Mini Miehm ships. When the shot was fired, the engines were thrust into reverse to move the ship into a better defensive position.

When the super laser fired, the battleships moved to the forefront and engaged the enemy. Fighters moved towards them firing of a spread of missiles to distract them.

OOC: I would like to know something, am I really the juiciest target above the planet right now, cause if I'm worthy of the attentions of an 03, and a pair of 04s, I'm better armed than I thought.

IC:

To deal with the fightes and lighter ships the remnants of the gunships were called off of their current duties, and unleashed on their weaker foes, massive Grav-cannon and Terrawatt lasers, as well as AA guns and lighter gigawatt lasers were all turned against the Corneliu forces that were attacking them.

OOC: I tookmy time wioth this, now I'll post about the SL.

IC:

The green lance of cohertent light skittered against the flaring shields of the massive Master of Puppets, it broke threough the weakened defenses, but had been so attenuated that is only managed to make a very large hole in the left engine pylon, minimal damage for a very impressive shot, now the Master returned fire, unleashing not one, but 5 weapons of its own, YTamato Cannon sent their amber power ripping out towards the offending ship.

OOC: Did I miss something here or can the Scorpion Walkers fly? Last time I looked Walkers usually stayed on the ground. Since the Relentless and its battle group reformed with the rest of the fleet and started a flanking maneuver on Huntaer, I will assume that your SSD followed me and is attacking from behind.

IC:
.One of The Allgence Class SSD's attacked the Relentless, The Scorpion Walkers, Cassiopeia's Answer to The Coredian SPAH-T Walkers, Fired at the enemy, The Lasers on the Tails Aimed at the enemy ship's Briage.

"Captain, we're under fire from one of Cassiopeia's SSD's. It looks like they followed us when we withdrew."

"Just what we need," muttered a scowling Porter as the ship's shields took some more hits from the SSD. Turning to weapons control he snapped, "Continue firing on the Huntaerians. Superlaser Control knock that damn thing out of the sky it's bad enough we're outnumbered in front the last thing we need is aggrevation from behind."

"Aye sir. Target acquired and locked on. Whenever your ready Captain."

"Fire."

OOC: It's your call whether you lose it or not Cassiopeia. It doesn't matter to me if it's destroyed or not so long as it's at least crippled and off my back.

OOC: I would like to know something, am I really the juiciest target above the planet right now, cause if I'm worthy of the attentions of an 03, and a pair of 04s, I'm better armed than I thought.

OOC: No your not really the juiciest target above the planet but you've pretty much done all the attacking so we might as well focus on you while we're able to.

OOC: No your not really the juiciest target above the planet but you've pretty much done all the attacking so we might as well focus on you while we're able to.

OOC: Makes sense.

The SSD was destroyed, but soon something Dropped out of Hyperspace that would end the Relentless, a Ecilpse Class Super Star Destroyer known as The Dark Star.

The Capitan of The Dark Star soon Ordered The Ship to Target the enemy Ship, The Superlaser was powered up, "Fire" the Captian Ordered and the Ship fired the Superlaser that the enemy.

The shielded satellites were responded to promptly - Abuse of the armoured nose of the fighters. Sure, they'd have hell when they got back, but that was better than death, right?

Hardened nose and heavy missile made contact with the hardened satellites, whilst the pilots prayed for the expected reinforcements.

A veritable armada showed up for the party, a little unexpected.

OOC:
---Total Forces---
--Trapped Patrol Fighters--
80 'Timberworlf' Heavy S/A Fighters

--Main Armada--
80 'Faith' Point Defence Frigates (Haven't used these in a while)
Faith frigates are designed specifically to combat missiles and carriers, armed with a total of twelve six-barreled gatling rail cannons, with the ammunition to feed it through an extended battle. Employed most often where large numbers of fighters or other weaker targets are involved, carriers have been known to lose whole fighter complements to small numbers of these.

40 'Broadside' Artillery Battlecruisers
The broadside once relied upon its four three-barreled rapid fire plasma cannons to destroy capital ships at range, but have since switched to using a battery of twenty heavy anti-matter torpedoes. They have a maneuverability approximately equivalent to that of a frigate, by virtue of more compact and more minimalist design.

200 'Timberwolf' Heavy S/A Fighters

8 Logistical Freighters

The 'Millennium' Broadside Battlecruiser (Named after the TA Battleship, not the SW ship.)
'Millennium' is piloted by one RAOS-2830, and is counted among the elite battlecruisers. Having ventured through space for centuries, RAOS has amassed a goodly amount of superior equipment for his ship. Having disposed of his plasma cannons, he now has four fusion rocket pods, and a single spine mounted proton streaming cannon. The anti-matter missile launchers have been retained, however.
The Millennium is also considerable more maneuverable and heavily armoured and shielded than your average battlecruiser.

IC:
“Right! We’ll take down the Allegiances, and the fighters and faiths can swat their fighters and planes. We must thin out their space forces or god help us, none of us will make it out alive.”

The battlecruisers and Millenium turned their broadsides to the Cassiopeian ships, and lobbed a full barrage of 820 Anti-matter missiles, along with a hail of plasma fire. The fighters used the sheer mass of the attack as cover, as they streaked within the great mass.

The slower frigates (but still fast in their own right) spread out into a circular (not spherical) formation, and advanced on the starfighters.

“If we win the battle in space, we can stop the Cassiopeians from sending any further reinforcements.”

When the opening volleys had been fired, some battlecruisers pulled back for reloading, whilst others scattered and pounded on the gunships and star destroyers.

Millenium, however, opened with a hail of fusion rockets as targets for the proton beam were identified. The looming Eclipse was an obvious and ideal target for the weapon.

"Dark Star eh? We'll be seeing about that..."

A proton stream slammed into the side of the eclipse, pouring energy into the craft. The Superlaser was being struck by a weapon of its own breed.

(OOC: The 'elites' comprise only about 60 members, and are inexpendable.)

The SSD was destroyed, but soon something Dropped out of Hyperspace that would end the Relentless, a Ecilpse Class Super Star Destroyer known as The Dark Star.

The Capitan of The Dark Star soon Ordered The Ship to Target the enemy Ship, The Superlaser was powered up, "Fire" the Captian Ordered and the Ship fired the Superlaser that the enemy.

"Admiral, we've lost the Relentless to what appears to be an Eclipse Class Star Destroyer."

"Tell Captain Tanner to take control of the third battle group and use their superlasers to reduce that thing to scrap."

"Aye sir."

Captain Tanner recieved the transmission from Admiral Larcat and began issueing orders, "Superlaser control tagrget that ship and fire, have the Killington and the Muldar target their superlasers as well. Not even an Eclipse can stand up to that. We have the same firepower as they do by ourselves. Add in the Enslavers and we have them outgunned and out powered."

"Ten seconds to firing Captain."

"Five seconds."

"Ready to fire sir."

"This one's for you Porter, fire."

Three superlasers lanced out towards the Eclipse class behemoth it couldn't hope to stand up to that.

Upon the Torpedoes emergence there was an immediate reaction among the Arbiters, Warp Tears opened up, both in front of the torpedoes, and amongf the Godulan fleet, they had decided, very swiftly, that the Godulans should be given their obviously large and expensive toys back, the few not caught in the tears were divided almost evenly between the TD fleet and the Huntarian forces, 3:5, 5 going after the TD fleet, and wreaking untold havoc among the fighter swarms that accompanied every fleet, but most of the attacks were distracted by the fighters, and that kept the Cap-ships safer, though a leviathan was destroyed by one of the rams, and three more were badly damaged, but the last was hit with a yamato cannon shot, enough to vaporise almost anything that was sent against it.

OOC: Hahaha... the woes of trying to deflect self-guided munitions... oh, and those missiles were programmed to focus on capital ships. Fighters are knocked about enough by the shockwaves of each detonation.

The Torpedoes registered this strange alteration in their position as they materialized back into space amongst the still spread out Godulans, and immediately began recalculating for a second iteration. They would KEEP doing this until there were no more torpedoes.

The Fusion missiles in each Red Rain torpedo that were dispersed before getting teleported, roughly a third of the number that had been counter ported, also registered the strange alteration and selected secondary targets to attack before their fuel was exhausted.

This primarily meant the bulk of the Cassiopeian Fleet, as the closest Godulan contingent in the area was located on the Dark Side of the moon, and while the missiles lacked the fuel to return to Old Terra proper, they had more than enough to circumvent a dead rock and plow through the enemy fleet fiddling about on the other side.

As for the ramming wedges in those torpedoes that had been duped, they simply kept their original targets and jumped right back towards the Huntarian and Mini Miehm fleets.

The Imperium Fleet has reverted to realspace, ready to fight and destroy any possible foe. But what's this? Only a portion of the fleet has arrived, in the orbit of Saturn, commanded by Chimaera, Admiral Paelleon's pride and joy. The fleet settled into the orbits of the moons, with the flag at Titan.

"Go to silent mode." The aged Admiral ordered. Quietly, the ships seemed to disappear off of major scopes as they shut down all but the most vital components, and waited...

The rest of the fleet reverted at Jupiter, and they too began to orbit around the moons and go silent, like Terran submarines. The Imperium herself is poised above Ganymede, waiting like a serpent for the enemy...quiet and deadly.

For all intents and purposes, they have become new satellites for the planets...

Hobbeebia has watch the space battle wage on and not getting any better for Coreworlds. Hobbeebian war fleets have been drasticly reduced during its war with Megas and had not yet had time to be rebuilt, only about 500 ships had been rebuilt and they where needed to fight megas. But Hobbeeia was not going to let coreworld down- failure was not an option.

OOC: Does anyone feel that my fleet(s) are a bit godmodish? Just currious.

OOC: Yes

The Harukabi and Beta Aurigae Fleets were now in for a Surprise, The Dark Star had a new Type of Shield, it was more like The Shielding of The Dreaded Yuuzhan Vong of The Vong Galaxy, the "Shield Generator" was a Living thing, The "Shields" were Nothing More then black Holes.

The Shields Sucked The Aurigae Super Laser Blast and The Harukabi Fire, But Failed to Block a Missile that was fired by one of the Godulan ships (OOC to Godular: I thing that was what you met by "This primarily meant the bulk of the Cassiopeian Fleet", I think) The Superlaser was Out, but the other Weapons, The Ion Cannons, Turbolasers and Quad-Lasers, were still working, and the Dark Star also had Fighters, Raven Intercepters, The Fighters soon started heading into Battle.

OOC: Ask CoreWorlds about The Yuuzhan Vong Shield or go to www.starwars.com to find out.

OOC: You'll find that the Dovin Basals of the Yuuzhan Vong can be overloaded by concentrating enough fire into them. The same priciple should work he so the next time you might not be so fortunate Cassiopeia. I'll post an IC response later. I need to go to work now.

OOC: Ah, Someone Read Star Wars: The New Jedi Order Books, I have Four Star Wars Books.

OOC: I read every single one of them books. Kinda 'eh'

And TCG: Ya got about 750 of them Fusion Missiles heading towards ya, not just one or two. The missiles coordinate with each other so that impacts are spread out through the breadth of the targeted fleet, so each vessel in your fleet should have, depending on its size, somewhere around at least three impacts per. I'd say about ten to twenty of them would have locked onto the Eclipse.

They don't do TOO horrendous an amount of damage, as each one is about 5 megaton yield (about the same yield as one of them tri-cobalt torpedos from star trek, right?), but they work to overwhelm enemy forces with the sheer volume of the assault.

As the Red Rain continued its somewhat complicated work of ramming itself down the enemy's throat, still more ships were arriving to bring more and more materiel into the fray. The Godulans called the vessels Proto-Heighliners, and they weren't much more than giant reinforced concrete tubes with an engine and guidance computer attached.

Each of the several Heighliners unloaded some five thousand defensive drones, each about the size of a corvette and carrying four capital-class Flux Cannons, two Tachyon Torpedo tubes, and a single Protium Arc Disintegrator.

OOC: Guess I'll have ta describe the effects of each weapon as I go along in the battle.

For the moment, the drones milled about awaiting further orders.

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

"Ground targets acquired?"

"Maximillian was correct sir, the Kythons have targeting locks on multiple contacts."

"Excellent, commence targeting solution."

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

Over Coredia, fifteen giant ramming wedges, minus the fusion missile payloads, materialized into existence and rocketed down towards the ground on overdrive, targeting what appeared to be Axis Nova, Mini Miehm, and Hatarian troop concentrations along the coastlines and some distance inland.

They would hit like small asteroids, causing quite massive devastation. The impact points had been calculated to keep Allied troop and civilian casualties to a minimum if any such deaths were to occur.

OOC: Axis Nova, TCG/Hataria, and Mini Miehm will need to RP the 'asteroid' strikes in the other thread, as will CW, as he's presently engaged in combat with all four of y'all on the ground.

OOC:
Not to mention it'd have the adverse effect of sucking up your own lasers. None of your weapons would work. Quad and Turbo lasers are both laser-types, and any Ions would still be sucked up anyway. You're trading any potential firepower for a powerful shield.

Your fighters would be sucked in by the black holes, too, as they don't have the equipment to resist the pull.

IC:
The Millenium, realising the Proton beam wasn't going to work yet, switched its fusion rocket batteries to firing on the ship (three of them, as the proton beam is spinal mounted. The other turret would need to shoot through the ship to get to it.), and the rear mounted worked on one of the allegiances.

The Proton stream was continued, for as long as a black hole had to be sustained, their own black hole could be used to destroy their fighters.

The Proton beam raked over the docking systems.

OOC: Since Huntaer hasn't been around, it seems kinda pointless to keep attacking him when he can't post losses. So I'm gonna pull my fleet back and land the rest of my ground units and then rejoin the space battle.

IC:"Admiral, there has been another incursion by the enemy on the planet. Recomend we fall back and deploy the rest of our troops."

"I agree Commander. This is Larcat to all fleet elements fall back to the Golans and begin depositing your troops evenly at all enemy incursion points. The TIE Predators will give you air support once you're in-atmosphere"

Meanwhile Near the Dark Star
"Captain Tanner, they just absorbed our shots with some sort of black hole generators. But from what I can tell, a missle got through and disabled their superlaser."

"We can overload the black holes with concentrated fire Commander. Begin the assault."

"Sir, we are recieving orders to withdraw and land our troops. It appears the ground battle isn't going so well."

"Very well, ensign withdraw immediatly," he ordered. Then turning to the viewscreen that still showed the Dark Star he muttered, "I'll be back to finish this later."

The Aurigean fleet again withdrew from the main battle and began sending down their dropships to aid in the ground battle.

OOC: Ok in a few hours, I'll have all my marines and ground assault stuff on the ground evenly destributed at all incursion points. So just take my original numbers from the OOC thread and divide them by the number of incursion points and you'll get the number of my troops on the ground at certain places give or take the few hundered thousand men I lost so far and the walkers and shit. I would post the actual numbers but I have to be at work again at 5:30 am and I don't have the time right now. I'll probably get them up sometime tomorrow night.

OOC: Yes

OOC: Whoah!!! Huntaer, the premiere supplier of SW fleets, and owner of the Star Forge Storefronts, is GM, but Beta Augire(sp) is not? What the hell is wrong with this picture?

"That got their attention."

"Sir they are moving to engage us."

"Very well. Fire all available weapons at the enemy forces. Lets teach them a lesson that they'll never forget. Have the battleships fire their Explosive beams and notify the cruisers to fire EMP missiles with a follow up of anti-matter warheads."

"Yes sir."

Moments later the ships opened up with the stated weapons.

"This is fleet command to all naval ships, you have full control unless I need you for something else. God Speed and may the force be with you."

He cut the con and turned to the helm officer. "Move 1/4 impulse and fire the heavy guns and Transphasic torpedoes."

"Yes sir." The Armaggedon re-enters the battle firing all that they had.

OOC: Hahaha... the woes of trying to deflect self-guided munitions... oh, and those missiles were programmed to focus on capital ships. Fighters are knocked about enough by the shockwaves of each detonation.

The Torpedoes registered this strange alteration in their position as they materialized back into space amongst the still spread out Godulans, and immediately began recalculating for a second iteration. They would KEEP doing this until there were no more torpedoes.

As for the ramming wedges in those torpedoes that had been duped, they simply kept their original targets and jumped right back towards the Huntarian and Mini Miehm fleets.


Now that they new the attack was coming, they had a counter, the three MM class ships raised their FTLis while the enemy was still either in transit, or hadn't made their jumps yet, now nothing would get through Hyper(or any other FTL travel) to the space around Earth the Torpedoes would be interdicted as they returned piece-meal due to the Warp Tear they had been moved through.

OOC: Oh how I despise FTLi, but you're gonna hate this... I have penetrated FTLi before.

The only problem with THAT, however, was that while it was easy enough to disrupt the entering of transit, there was the simple fact that completion of transit was a completely natural event.

It was the wonderful thing about the Probability drive. You could stop it from starting with the greatest of ease, but stopping it from stopping? That's another issue altogether.

Since the Red Rain Torpedos had been thrown to beyond the orbit of the moon, they were still outside the FTL inhibition field when they commenced calculations to return. And this time, the enemy had crippled their own primary countermeasure.

The torpedoes wre little threat, even if they could return, they could also be stopped, or recalled away again, because the FTLi field was designed to have "holes" made in it, letting things in and out, the holes closed as soon as the "event" was complete though, making it almost impossible to exploit, and when the torpedoes got back, they would be sent packing. Again.

Mini, Are you ignoring me?

Mini, Are you ignoring me?

I don't think so, where's your last post concerning me?

"That got their attention."

"Sir they are moving to engage us."

"Very well. Fire all available weapons at the enemy forces. Lets teach them a lesson that they'll never forget. Have the battleships fire their Explosive beams and notify the cruisers to fire EMP missiles with a follow up of anti-matter warheads."

"Yes sir." The Armaggedon re-enters the battle firing all that they had.

Right here and on this page too as a matter of fact.

OOC: Oh, indeed that is innovative! Once again though... never assume the Godulans don't have backup plans.

"Sir, the Red Rain Torpedos keep getting punted back out. It is quite a specialized little Inhibitor field they are utilizing."

"Reassign Targets. Have the Red Rain focus on the Cassiopeian fleet instead, and prepare the fleet for the main jump. That field will go down soon enough."

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

The massive Red Rain torpedoes made a final jump, centered on the Cassiopeian fleet, established preferred enemy targets, and cut loose.

Those Red Rain torpedoes that still had yet to deploy their Fusion Missile cargo did so now, and the Ramming Wedges that had been stymied before went into overdrive, targeting the largest ships in the enemy fleet.

Right here and on this page too as a matter of fact.

Oh, I saw no reference to the Terran Dominion, or to MM\Mini\Mini Miehm, I wasn't sure who you were attacking.

Before I reply, what's still in comission, I don't want tosay I'm attacking something that's been destroyed or crippled.

OOC: I got the idea from Gronde. It's not my innovation.

IC:

The Red Rains wre no longer a threat to the fleet, now they just had to wait for the final push, and hope that backup arrived in time.

OOC: Now don't go too far without me, I gots work to go to, and I don't want this thing expanding by another two pages when I'm not looking.

Oh, I saw no reference to the Terran Dominion, or to MM\Mini\Mini Miehm, I wasn't sure who you were attacking.

I'm not buying that since it was you that turned around and attacked me.

Before I reply, what's still in comission, I don't want tosay I'm attacking something that's been destroyed or crippled.

I'll go back and re-read your post and get back to ya.

I'm not buying that since it was you that turned around and attacked me.



I'll go back and re-read your post and get back to ya.

OOC: whatever, I messed up, gime a break.

OK.

Well ouside the FTLi, a warp tear formed, then two, ten, one hundred, and through the tears flowed an entire Assault Fleet, twice the size of the fleet that had held off the original Coredian assault, if this, backed by a Metal Militia II class ship, and the Worldship, was not enough to beat the enemies assembling against them, nothig would be.

OOC: whatever, I messed up, gime a break.

An arm or a leg?

OK.

Minus 3 destroyers with 5 more damaged plus 2 cruisers gone and 2 more damaged. All others remain the same.

The Dark Star's Shield were near Overload, but the Ship was now leaveing for Earth, Because something was Coming out of Hyperspace........Something BIG!

The Centurion Ultra Star Destroyer (http://wolfsshipyard.mystarship.com/Drawings/SW/Centaurian%20Class%20Ultra%20Star%20Destroyer.jpg) had Dropped out of Hyperspace, followed by The 10th Republic Warfleet.

One Executor Class Super Star Destroyer (http://www.wolfsshipyard.mystarship.com/Drawings/SW/EXECUTOR.gif) (The Revenge)

23 Imperial Class Star Destroyers

19 Interdictor Class Cruisers

21 Republic Star Galleons

16 Escort Carriers

18 Lancer Class Frigates

20 Trilobite class frigates

2,028 Shaman Class Starfighters

3,176 Raven Bombers.

The Fleet was near Earth and the Centurion was over the area of Coredia, WITH DROPSHIPS POORING OUT OF IT!!!!

This was a Invasion Force!

OOC: I'm going to be gone for about 10 days, so can someone on the Grand Alliance take control of my forces for now?

And Cassiopeia: You're just inviting a massive counterattack...

Not to mention that you've just ignored the fact that there's a huge amount of firepower standing between you and Earth, and the fact that Coreworld's Planetary defences (no doubt complete with a highly efficient anti-landing network) are still intact.

Poor dropships indeed. This really opens your fleet up to all kinds of totally improbable and utterly insane attacks that ignore one or all of the laws of physics. That, and pre-defined damage.

OOC: I'm going to be gone for about 10 days, so can someone on the Grand Alliance take control of my forces for now?

The Imperium Fleet has reverted to realspace, ready to fight and destroy any possible foe. But what's this? Only a portion of the fleet has arrived, in the orbit of Saturn, commanded by Chimaera, Admiral Paelleon's pride and joy. The fleet settled into the orbits of the moons, with the flag at Titan.

"Go to silent mode." The aged Admiral ordered. Quietly, the ships seemed to disappear off of major scopes as they shut down all but the most vital components, and waited...

The rest of the fleet reverted at Jupiter, and they too began to orbit around the moons and go silent, like Terran submarines. The Imperium herself is poised above Ganymede, waiting like a serpent for the enemy...quiet and deadly.

For all intents and purposes, they have become new satellites for the planets...

The great fleet moved from space; uncoiling from its perch about Pluto as it slid through the icy blackness. It's gleaming prows and crackling weapons were like tiny stars against the curtain of night; pinpricks of light showing through the shroud.

"Order all vessels to full stop; silent running; to proceed upon my mark."

"Aye, My Lord"

"Good" Remiel smirked softly, twirling his sword against the ground, its point driven into the deck. "Now; let us consider our options. We advance towards Jupiter; approaching Terra from above and below the Asteroid belt; which we shall utilise to our advantage, to pincer the attacking fleets. I want our way to be clear; deploy sensor probes and homing mines; seismic charges as well. Let us make sure that no surprises lie in wait for us. We cannot assume that the fighting is not spread out through Sol...Besides; a Space Marine must be ever vigilant" He chuckled lightly and rose.

"Engage"

Probes hurtled through the inky blackness, sleek and willing things; theat hunted and sought with insidious equipment; sensor probes, ready to hunt down their enemies. About them, were mines; conventional and seismic; spiked things; marked with the eight pointed star, wreathed in chains and filled with shrapnel....

The great fleet moved from space; uncoiling from its perch about Pluto as it slid through the icy blackness. It's gleaming prows and crackling weapons were like tiny stars against the curtain of night; pinpricks of light showing through the shroud.

"Order all vessels to full stop; silent running; to proceed upon my mark."

"Aye, My Lord"

"Good" Remiel smirked softly, twirling his sword against the ground, its point driven into the deck. "Now; let us consider our options. We advance towards Jupiter; approaching Terra from above and below the Asteroid belt; which we shall utilise to our advantage, to pincer the attacking fleets. I want our way to be clear; deploy sensor probes and homing mines; seismic charges as well. Let us make sure that no surprises lie in wait for us. We cannot assume that the fighting is not spread out through Sol...Besides; a Space Marine must be ever vigilant" He chuckled lightly and rose.

About them, were mines; conventional and seismic; spiked things; marked with the eight pointed star, wreathed in chains and filled with shrapnel....
So, they send their sensor probes. Not unexpected. Admiral Pellaeon smiled as he saw what the passive sensors have detected. Let us give them what they want.

Salted away at the moon Triton (Neptune) was a medium-sized space station. Now before the war, it was a research/mining station to mine frozen methane and tibanna gas from the cold planet. Now, it would be employed in the war. The soldiers there noticed the large number of sensor probes and homing mines, and they obligingly sent out a cloud of probe droids and directed them to send out signals that would simulate a Star Destroyers emissions very well, leading the enemy probes and mines away from the real targets.

Here's hoping that works...

The mines hurtled forward; only a few from the many; the sensor arrays cautious to test their limits; meanwhile expanding in scope. Their waves of decections swept forward, seeking out more targets; as the miones wung towards and around the enemy probes; eventually exploding with colossal; discharge. The sensors had read wrong; mines had passed through the signature...They had been decieved.

Remiel smirked. "Crafty little bastards. Resume search; if not...I'll have the fleet reduce the area to rubble in our passing" Weapons crackled and readied; yet they waited; waited for the scanners to give them accurate topography. Waited for the chance of...fair combat, with their tricky and traitorous Coreworldian prey.

The scanners sensed nothing at Neptune, neither did they sense anything at Uranus. But once they came to Saturn...then they began to spot something. Was it a sensor ghost? Or something more...only a closer look would tell...

Come closer, my pretties. Come to papa... The Admiral thought with some amusement.

"Launch countermeasures."

"Aye sir." The ships rumbled as the great projectiles shot forth; crackling with incandescent energy as they began the rather intricate job of interfering with communications, sensors and other ship facilities; sadly rendering the Chronosian probes obsolete...

Mines hurtled forth madly in the void; hoping they would hit something, as the influence of the vessel spread; before bursting apart; surging forth as the devices detonated; activating around Jupiter.

"Slow advance; silent running...Whatevers there, is impaired..."

The Centurion had Jumped to Hyperspace and left. but The Tenth Fleet was their, Now Attacking the enemy. The ISDs had not only Fighters, but Scorpion Walkers, They were in the Hanger decks and on the Destroyers them selfs, the Walkers fired their Heavy Turbo Lasers at some of the Harukabi Ships.

The Frigates also helped, Fireing Ion Cannons at the enemy Ships, Fighters attacked enemy fighters in a Deadly Dance, this was War, Total War. The largest battle of the war had started.

It was time to show The Grand Alliance that Cassiopeia wasn't going to back down.

Sensors and communications were impaired for a little while, but it would not matter, for the Chronosian fleet was approaching Jupiter, and everyone knew it. In fact, it was just the perfect opportunity...

The Grand Admiral checked his watch against the coming of the enemy fleet, and nodded. It was time...

The Super Star Destroyer shrugged off the impairment and broke comms silence. "Minotaur, Velociraptor, launch the Ion Wave!"

Active sensors then went on full, but more than that, as they suddenly shot forward. Power from other systems were redirected to a special capacitor of the sensor globes. They began crackling with energy, then the energy combined in the airless space between, and built up...

then unleashed...

...a great beam of ion-cannon like energy lashed out for the enemy fleet, lashed out towards the center of the demonic foes, at the largest and/or most powerful ship in the enemy forces. And once it impacted, energy would lash greatly around the ship, blowing out enemy energy generators, collectors and the like...hopefully crippling the ship as if some kind of super-ion-cannon hit it. But it was not over yet, for the energy then lept out at the nearest ships to the target, and did the same, only a bit weaker for each ship that gets hit, dissipating as it went...

Most of their power depleted in the major attack, the two Elite Star Destroyers kicked in reverse thrusters, though much slower, back to the safety of the rest of the fleet, blind, yet with great hope that it worked and with great consternation as they recharged the systems...

"Missile cruisers..." Admiral Rommel ordered. "Fire at will!"

It was their turn. Ten missile cruisers then powered up and sent out a volley of hundreds of missiles each. Hundreds transformed into thousands and the cloud threw themselves out at the Chronosian fleet with abandon...

The blast struck att he heart of the fleet; disabling approximately two heavy battlecruisers and sending shockwaves and damage throughout countless vessels; the missles came next; impacting into hulls; shattering ships; but the majority caught by point defence lazers. The Transcendant Humanity slipped forward through the thronging fleet; charging its main warp cannon in a dancing cavalcade of death; sending the blast hurtling forward through the void; followed by blasts from every othership in the fleet.

Missles and torpedoes seared the void; mines and bombs hurtled forth, great weapons on detah primed and ready; a concentrated missle bombardment hurtled towards the centre of the enemy; IGBM's primed and hurtled towards enemy positions as Remiel sat; watching the joy of war unfold. The abyss was full of missles; lashing blasts of energy; beautiful and seductive war...

Ships were hulled and shields buckled, sending men screaming airlessly into the void, and the blast took out a Star Destroyer in one fell swoop. In reply, Rommel ordered thus. "Artillery Star Destroyers, open fire!"

From the depths of space came five mighty blasts of energy crashing through the vacuum towards the Transcendant Humanity. Individually, they were potent enough, able to cripple ships their own size and larger. But together, their power multiplied to rival that of the Eclipse's Superlaser...

Every ten seconds, staggering their fire so that it came two seconds at a time, the artillery blasts came, until they would either be destroyed or the Transcendant be destroyed. and then they would target other ships and let 'em loose.

The abyss was full of missles; lashing blasts of energy; beautiful and seductive war...
Ships were battered and torn apart by the missile bombardments, although turbolaser cannons took out many of them. Most of the missiles however, were sent harmlessly crashing down towards Jupiter's moons, for the Imperium fleet were partially protected by the large masses that presented bigger inviting targets to the missiles.

In return, long-range heavy turbolaser bombardments began to rain forth, sending sheets of green destruction at the enemy, even as the missile cruisers lashed out with a second volley.

Battle was joined, but no one knows who would win this...

OOC: Whoah!!! Huntaer, the premiere supplier of SW fleets, and owner of the Star Forge Storefronts, is GM, but Beta Augire(sp) is not? What the hell is wrong with this picture?

OOC: Aurigae is the spelling. And my nation is about ten months older than his and I have about 3000 ships in my entire fleet. Something tells me that he has a lot more but doesn't choose to use them here. Also, remeber just because a nation sells ships does not mean that they have huge numbers of them themselves. However, I still feel that Huntaer's fleet is not a GM as I have already stated so the entire conversation is moot.

It was time to show The Grand Alliance that Cassiopeia wasn't going to back down.

"Admiral, all troops have finished landing and the dropships have returned to our hangers. A Cassiopeian Fleet has emerged from hyperspace and has begun firing on the Harukabi."

"Ok, let's take group one to intercept them. Leave groups two and three in reserve."

Battle Group One of the Aurigean Fleet moved off toward the Cassiopieans intent on destroying them.

"We are in firing range sir."

"Let's see if we can draw them away. Focus fire on the SSD nothing really powerful, just enough to get their attention. Meanwhile, have some of the ISD's begin monitoring the sector I want to know the second that Ultra Star Destroyer starts back this way."

"Aye sir."

The space around the Cassiopiean fleet was suddenly alight with green and blue blasts as the Ion Cannons and turbolasers of the Sabertooth opened up on the Revenge trying to draw them away from the Harukabi Fleet.

"I do believe it is time for our pets to feed."

"You mean..."

"The Slaughterkings shall feed well. Allocating the full force of the Kython sub-fleet to the enemy fleet's dissolution, and including several Godulan Makos with their Voidshields set on short range... just in case."

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

In the midst of the battle between the Hakurabi, Aurigean, and Cassiopeian fleets, the sky suddenly opened up with somewhere around a thousand darting discs of hellfury. All targeting reticules focused on the Cassiopeian capitol ships, and the Kython vessels opened up with their primary armament, unleashing a veritable storm of Ion Cannon blasts upon the enemy vessels. Fire was focused on Engine blocks, Command Centers, and major weapons batteries.

Further, as soon as the things materialized, they disgorged their cargo of fightercraft, dozens of razor-edged fighter discs burst from each of the capital vessels, concentrating their efforts on countering any skirmishers presented by the Cassiopeian fleet, as well as distracting the interdictor vessels.

The Kythons had but one purpose: Deactivate and Disassemble the Cassiopeian Fleet.

And throughout the controlled Chaos of the Kython onslaught, twenty Godulan Makos drifted, shunting power to their engines to place an impromptu interdictor effect on selected vessels.

The shields were holding; straining, the hull cracking in places; ventign gas out into the eternal void. Sensors locked on to the sources; and each long range missle of the Imperial fleet opened fire; crashign waves of unholy fire hurtling through the void towards the artillery destroyers, as the fleet continued to advance; their coruscating fire arcing towards their eternal enemies; their timeless foes...

A blast of artillery hurtled away from the humanity; deflected as, strangely, music began to echo...

Fingers played across gitar strigns, cracklign with warp energy; building to roaring crescendos of sound and energy; another swayed and slammed sticks against drum like instruments; the sounds coalescing as two bands seemed almost to duel within the great ship; parading their skill before Remiel himself. The sonic conductors boomed; the warp amps roared; focussing and purifying the roaring and steadily increasing soundwaves. The sonic cannons opened; and the roaring, screaming, Slaanesh tainted sonic blasts hurtled forth towards the energy; the backlash orbing the ship in a crackling wave of sound and fury....

Not wanting to get caught by the missiles, the artillery destroyers made a microjump out to Uranus before turning back. This time, they fired at the other ships, one or two at a time.

The Grand Admiral put on earphones to absorb the screaming music as he watched...incredulously as the artillery blasts were deflected by the enemy's awful cacophony of sounds. He shook his head and ordered a concentrated bombardment on the Humanity, and then called in his trump card...

From Saturn, five more volleys of missiles came roaring out of the void, as three large MAC-sized slugs and five large globs of plasma joined them, aiming for the sterns or bridges of the larger ships. A microjump later, and the sterns of the enemy ships were struck by a broadside of turbolaser and railgun cannons from mk III Star Destroyers and Shinobi battlecruisers. A second microjump, and the Chimera herself entered battle with her personal squadron of mk IIs, flanking the enemy above the orbitial plane as they lashed out with Alpha Strikes and broadsides. A third and final microjump had the rest of the Saturn-placed fleet flanking from "below" the orbitial plane.

The enemy was sundered from all sides...caught in a crossfire of turbolaser, missile, railcannon and plasma against the backdrop of Jupiter...

"That FTL inhibitor field needs to go down... those enemy recall devices are an annoyance at most, but an annoyance that builds up."

"How many vessels do you wish to allocate?"

"All Godulan Makos beyond those engaged in battle against the Cassiopeians, all Strike Drones, and all Starbolts. Spread pattern through the breadth of both the Huntarian and Mini Miehm fleets, but focus power on the Protoss first, the Corneliuans are assisting us here, as well as the Coredian defensive batteries, our presence should be a welcome addition."

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

The order went out, and for a moment, the Godulan vessels turned around, making their way out of the system, then the probability iterations hit, and the Space War above Coredia suddenly became much more crowded. The Godulan fleet had iterated such that it was now saturated all over and within the enemy fleets, waiting merely long enough to get their bearings before opening fire on anything that didn't read as friendly.

Starbolts, the large and surprisingly maneuverable Godulan Fighter craft, bucked and weaved their way between fighters and capital ships, challenging the former with stuttering barrages Flux Cannon fire, and switching to charged shots to hit as hard as a capital ship battery against the larger vessels.

The Strike Drones danced about, unencumbered by a need to be manned in any way, unleashing their salvos on capital ships and any targets of opportunity that presented themselves.

The Makos themselves opened up with everything they had, zipping through the enemy fleets in a manner very much like their namesake. Flux Cannons, Tachyon Torpedos, and Phase Torpedos stormed throughout the area.

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

"The Coredians may appreciate some assistance on their other front. Let us give the Chaos hounds another taste of Red Rain... five torpedoes."

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

Out by Jupiter, in the midst of the strange cacophony and the Coredian flanking maneuvers, Five of the great weapons that had done so much at Thorn now scattered themselves about the Chronosian fleet, dispersing their payloads of fusion missiles and launching the ramming wedges toward the largest vessels in the enemy fleet.

"I do believe it is time for our pets to feed."

"You mean..."

"The Slaughterkings shall feed well. Allocating the full force of the Kython sub-fleet to the enemy fleet's dissolution, and including several Godulan Makos with their Voidshields set on short range... just in case."

And throughout the controlled Chaos of the Kython onslaught, twenty Godulan Makos drifted, shunting power to their engines to place an impromptu interdictor effect on selected vessels.

The Cassiopeian Fleet was being "eaten up" by the enemy...Things.

But the Cassiopeians had their own Ship Eaters. Thousands of Balls were flying out of the Hanger decks, these were a Ship's wrose Nightmare Buzz Droids! and they could cut a Starship, from Fighter to Capital Ship, to Bits.

The Cassiopeian Starfighter were attacking the Kythons, Topedoes and repeating Blaster Cannons fired on the things.

123 Fighters
20 Capital Ships.

An arm or a leg?



Minus 3 destroyers with 5 more damaged plus 2 cruisers gone and 2 more damaged. All others remain the same.


The heavier ships were targeted by the massive MM class units, while the Leviathans and Carrier\DNs went after the lighter Cruisers.

The MM II was sent after the biggest concentration of the enemy fleet, 60 Yamato Cannon would shred the enemy ranks in short order.

OOC: Was wondering when you'll get around to me :D

IC: "Sir, they are now concentrating on us."

"Good good. Now we can close the trap. Fire anti-matter torpedos (Used only in space before you cry hypocracy) at the enemy fleet. Also, have Task force Prime and Task Force Alliance to come around on the enemy's flank."

"very well sir."

The Armaggedon fired off a barrage of anti-matter warheads as the fleets began to engage one another.

"Sir, our super laser is charged again! We can fire it when ready."

"Reduce power by half so we can have multiple shots."

"Very well sir." After a few adjustments the cwo nodded.

"Fire at the nearest enemy capitol ship. Continue main gun barrage and divert auxillary power to shields to maintain shield integrity."

When the order was given, a bright green light flashed out and hit one of the Mini Miehm capitol ships.

The carriers moved back towards the back to keep them out of the damage path even though they are capable fighters themselves.

Four more destroyers were destroyed in the ensuing firefight.

"Sir, Admiral Halsey has arrived."

"Have him jump in on the right flank of the enemy. Lets see how they like having energy ripple through them. That should take care of a few ships."

"Yes sir."

Moments later, Halsey's fleet of 100 warships jumped into the fray with all guns firing.

OOC2: That's including carriers, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers.

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

The Starbolts were intercepted by the few remaining Valkyries, a few hundred Wraiths, and over 600 Scouts and Corsairs, there was little chance that the enemy could get through the fighter screen, and the capships could concentrate on their larger opponents.

The Makos took their toll, but their weapons were relatively ineffective against the shields of the Capships, while the Capship guns returned fire with a vengeance and a will, dozens of Burst Laser batteries and PDCs lashed out with bolts of cobalt and argent lightning, striking at the attackers in their midst.

Indeed, it would have been a sufficient fighter screen had not the sheer number of Starbolts numbered well into the tens of thousands. The Starbolts, Strike Drones, and Makos themselves would pummel the Mini Miehm forces into submission with both sheer firepower and swarm tactics. Each of the enemy fighters inevitably found itself targeted by anywhere between three to seven Starbolts.

As for the Makos, they simply whirled through the length and breadth of the fleet, combining salvos with other ships to one-shot enemy targets when necessary, as Flux Cannons had a wonderful quality of exponentially magnifying their destructive power with each focused weapon. No shields could withstand the fury of Godulan Flux cannons, much less sustained focused fire.

This tack was also taken up by the Strike Drones themselves, which had somewhat more maneuverability on the issue, and could focus fire on noted critical systems.

As for enemy return fire, the Makos were very coordinated in their movements, sweeping to disrupt fields of fire if allied ships seemed to be showing signs of collapsing in the return fire. Several ships had been unlucky, and as a last throw of death, rammed their ships into offending enemy vessels and activating the self destruct mechanism, creating an awesome display of blue flourescence that sapped shields and disintegrated hulls.

OOC: It is important to remember that a Godulan Mako, while a small ship in and of itself, is easily capable of matching an Imperial Star Destroyer blow for blow. Godulan Focus-Fire from a single Mako would be on the same scale as your 'Yamato', not as strong as a superlaser by any means, but still devastatingly effective.

There may have been tens of thousands of enemies, but when compared to the firepower of the Scouts and Corsairs alone, it was an even match, photon cannon and plasma missiles flew out at the encroaching enemy, while invisible Wraiths covered the Valkyries, who had massive missile launchers, capable of shattering a Corellian if they had the chance, now they were targeting much smaller enemies with their Laser-warheads, and the warheads only had to reach 2500 kilometers before they were effective, giving the Valkyries a power out of proportion to their numbers.

The power of thg flux cannon was rather impressive, but the shields could take two hits, and the ships themselves generally took 3-4 more, due to their size, before dieing, and that was just the smaller Carriers, the massive Leviathans took 5 or more to kill, and not a single Metal Militia class ship had fallen so far, they were battered and bleeding atmosphere in places, but their weapons and drives were all at full capability, making them still extremely dangerous in a fight.

The MM II ripple-fired its Yamatos, the last one fired just as the first was ready to fire again, in this way it never stopped its battering on the enemy fleet, and the smaller MM Is, while unable to ripple fire as effectively, still did more than their fair share of damage to the fleets they faced.

Back in the Cassiopeia Galaxy, a Squadron of Star Destroyers were ready to head for Earth, 25 Imperial Class Star Destroyers and a New Type of Super Star Destroyer, The Bellerophon, it was the one of Three of its kind. The Squadron was to attack the Coredian Fleet that was near the 6th Planet of the Sol System.

The Squadron soon Jumped into hyperspace.

OOC: The Bellerophon looks like The Specter Class Star destroyer seen in this link: http://www.wolfsshipyard.mystarship.com/Drawings/SW/StarDestroyers.gif

There may have been tens of thousands of enemies, but when compared to the firepower of the Scouts and Corsairs alone, it was an even match.

OOC: Bull, hunt me down on IM for why, homes.

Big as a house, quick as a mouse,
An armed and armored powerhouse

One Starbolt fighter found himself smirking at the rhyme as he brought an enemy fighter in line for another round of stutterfire from his main cannons. Enemy fire struck his shields, but he shrugged them off in pursuit of his target knowing that his fighter could take a massive beating before the alarms even started up. There were simply too many of the rough and tumble Starbolts to keep track of, but every now and then...

An alarm rang out in his mind, somebody had locked onto him. The response was instinctual: In a display of the Starbolt's inhuman agility, the Starbolt juked up without even tilting its nose, swept around in a surprisingly tight and serpentine barrel roll, charged up its cannons and aimed for the enemy fighter.

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

The Yamato guns were indeed ferocious weapons, but the Makos were simply too fast in most cases to be struck. By the time the weapon could be locked, the Mako would already be ducking behind other Mini Miehm vessels.

This was not just two fleets slugging it out, the Godulan fleet was WITHIN the enemy fleet, slamming firepower into the enemy at nearly point-blank.

Still, there were too many Makos to avoid notice, and while that worked to the general advantage, it still meant that several Makos ended up activating their Plasmatic Pulse Self Destructs and ramming enemy vessels due to their inability to continue the fight. Even with the Godulans' death, they would bring oblivion to those who dared to oppose them.

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

The Strike Drones, unhindered by enemy fire for the most part, continued their onslaught on targets of opportunity, taking aim at anything that looked like it was limping through the fight and combining firepower to match the strength of several Makos at once in crushing simultaneous salvos.

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

And then, something else started entering the fray: more and more, as if in frustration at the annoying shielding being employed by the Mini Miehm forces, strange torpedos began to emerge. They shimmered and crackled as they moved, launched by Makos and Strike Drones alike, and just before they reached enemy vessel shields, they detonated, seemingly leaving nothing behind.

However, these torpedos were specially designed to take shielded ships into account. Each torpedo, on detonation, powered a single blast of Tachyonic radiation that would do nothing to an unshielded target, however, upon incidence with most types of shielding, would be 'de-energized' into a beam of plasma that continued on past the shielding to strike as hard as a heavy turbolaser blast.

OOC: And TCG, your in-system fleet is being eaten by Kythons.

The response was instinctual: In a display of the Starbolt's inhuman agility, the Starbolt juked up without even tilting its nose, swept around in a surprisingly tight and serpentine barrel roll, charged up its cannons and aimed for the enemy fighter.

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

The Yamato guns were indeed ferocious weapons, but the Makos were simply too fast in most cases to be struck. By the time the weapon could be locked, the Mako would already be ducking behind other Mini Miehm vessels.

This was not just two fleets slugging it out, the Godulan fleet was WITHIN the enemy fleet, slamming firepower into the enemy at nearly point-blank.

Still, there were too many Makos to avoid notice, and while that worked to the general advantage, it still meant that several Makos ended up activating their Plasmatic Pulse Self Destructs and ramming enemy vessels due to their inability to continue the fight. Even with the Godulans' death, they would bring oblivion to those who dared to oppose them.

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

The Strike Drones, unhindered by enemy fire for the most part, continued their onslaught on targets of opportunity, taking aim at anything that looked like it was limping through the fight and combining firepower to match the strength of several Makos at once in crushing simultaneous salvos.

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

And then, something else started entering the fray: more and more, as if in frustration at the annoying shielding being employed by the Mini Miehm forces, strange torpedos began to emerge. They shimmered and crackled as they moved, launched by Makos and Strike Drones alike, and just before they reached enemy vessel shields, they detonated, seemingly leaving nothing behind.

However, these torpedos were specially designed to take shielded ships into account. Each torpedo, on detonation, powered a single blast of Tachyonic radiation that would do nothing to an unshielded target, however, upon incidence with most types of shielding, would be 'de-energized' into a beam of plasma that continued on past the shielding to strike as hard as a heavy turbolaser blast.

OOC: And TCG, your in-system fleet is being eaten by Kythons.

OOC: All right, I designed my guys to deal with being outnumbered, not quite by these odds, but those missiles are a big force multiplier.

We'll talk on MSN later.

Until then I'm going to avoid replying until I understand better.

And I noticed your not taking that many casualties either. You can't be absorbing that many hits with little casualties. Not to mention being attacked by 2 navies at once. Your forces would be vastly depleted right now.

You better take more casualties with my new fleet jumping in. Not that it matters, that's not even the entire fleet yet.

"Report."

"The Corneliuans report that they are expecting heavy reinforcements soon, and the Kythons declare their status as 'feeding frenzy'. The Mini Miehm forces are heavily outnumbered and outgunned, but they are putting up a surprisingly valiant fight."

"Indeed."

"Sir, may I make a suggestion?"

"At your leisure."

"The Mini Miehm forces ARE allies of ours, despite their disposition towards the Coredians. We are hellbent on removing them from the campaign--"

"A chance to realize the error of their ways... or at least to tell them to cut it out."

"Yes sir."

"Such measures almost always go ignored unless punctuated by proper prerequisite actions. But the time has come, hasn't it. Let us proceed."

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

In the Battle between the Godulans and the Mini Miehm forces, the fire strangely lessened, with Makos beginning transits into the midst of the Huntarian fleet. Enough firepower remained to continue pummeling shields and keep alarms going off, but only that.

A message went out to the Mini Miehm fleet.

To: Commander, Mini Miehm Forces in Coredian Theatre
From: General Achaedus, Commander, Godulan HomeGuard

"You are recognized as a fellow member of the Alliance of Naggeroth. You have presented us with a conundrum. You are our ally, the Coredians are our brothers in arms and in blood.

You defended against them at Numonica and were victorious, we understand and accept this. Yet you continued, and now attack their shores, their home, and by extension, you have attacked us.

We have you heavily outgunned and outnumbered, the situation here grows more dire for your allies as it progresses.

We are, however, not without mercy. As you are our allies, we shall provide you, and only you, with a singular opportunity. We shall allow all Mini Miehm forces, both Ground- and Space-based, to withdraw from the Coredian theatre peacefully and completely. Egress must initiate immediately, and any attempt to continue the fight will result in immediate resumption of full hostilities.

This message will repeat once. By the end of the second transmission, you will have made your decision."

RE: Withdrawl of forces

We will leave, we have had our restitution.

End Transmission.

Fifty warp Tears opened, and the entire fleet left in an eyeblink, leaving not even wreckage behind for the scavengers in space.

The Squadron of Star Destroyers soon Dropped out of Hyperspace near the Coredian Fleet, The Bellerophon and the others soon sent out their Raven Intercepters to attack the enemy ships and draw out the enemy SSD.

The battle of Jupiter had begun............................

The battle of Jupiter had begun............................
"Admiral, twenty six targets have reverted to realspace and are now attacking us!"

"Very well. Have Minotaur and Velociraptor recovered?" Admiral Rommel asked as the bridge shook under bombardments.

Uh, Yes, sir."

"Very good. Have them attack the enemy fleet immediately with their personal squadrons."

Now, a two or three-on-one advantage in favor of the Cassiopeians will seem like an easy win for them, but not so, for the two Coredian Elite-class Star Destroyers have the power to fight a Super Star Destroyer together, and the personal squadrons are no slouches either.

If worst comes to worst...there was the Duel of the Fates and her fleet waiting for the signal to advance and strike with the superlaser.

-----

"Admiral, we're getting reports from groundside that Mini Miehm forces have left the area for reasons unknown."

"Oh?" Admiral Rommel asked, raising an eyebrow. "Very well..."

As soon as we conclude this battle with Chronosia...we would appear to have gotten the upper hand in space...

The Cassiopeian Sqaudron soon attacked, at Point blank range, the Fighters soon started Hit and run attacks against The Bridge Towers of any Star Destroyer.

The Bellerophon on the other hand was heading for The enemy SSD, going to attack it ship to ship, Point Blank Range. It's Fighters helpping Gaurd the Bridge of the ship.

The Bellephoron would do no such thing, it was about to be interdicted by the returning MM II, and its escorting MM class trinity. 69 Yamato cannon would shatter even an SSD in little time.

"Admiral, the Coredians are outnumbered in the space around Jupiter. They are taking heavy fire."

"Have Battle Group Two help them out. Meanwhile, send word back home for another fleet. Have it wait cloaked outside the system until it is called."

"Aye sir."

The second battle group of the fleet moved away from the main battle toward the one taking place around Jupiter they would be there soon.

"Captain we are within range of the battle."

"Very well, let's get the Cassiopieans off their back. Open a comm to the Coredians."

"Open sir."

"This is Captain Jonathan Greene of the Star Destroyer Right To Rule. You worry about the Chronosians we'll take care of the Cassiopieans."

The Bellerophon's shields were holding, and now it was near the enemy Super Star Destroyer, Imperium. The Admiral of the Fleet, Daal'nala Shal'yua, looked at the enemy ship. "Fire on that ship." She ordered. At Point Blank Range, the Bellerophon Fired Turbolasers, Qruad Lasers, Topedo Launchers and Missile Launchers at the enemy.

The Battle Between The two Super Star Destroyers had Begun.....

"This is Grand Admiral Walter Rommel of the Imperium. We would appreciate it if you got that big bastard of a Super Star Destroyer off our backs!"

"This is Grand Admiral Walter Rommel of the Imperium. We would appreciate it if you got that big bastard of a Super Star Destroyer off our backs!"

"We're on it Admiral," he replied. "Communications, kindly inform the Executive Outcome to target the enemy SSD with their superlaser. Weapons control please do the same."

"Executive Outcome has acknowledged and reports ready to fire sir."

"Ok, send word to the ISD's have them focus all fire on the SSD, we need to overload those nifty little black holes they have. Weapons control co-ordinate with Executive Outcome and fire on my mark."

The Aurigean ISD's began to bombard the enemy ship with everything they had systematically overloading the SSD's most effective defense.

Five minutes of continous bombardment later, Captain Greene gave the order.

"Weapons control, fire."

Achaedus watched the battle in space over Coredia play out, and suddenly realized that there was hardly anything with an enemy tag on it. The Cassiopeian Tenth Fleet was being torn to shreds by Kython Slaughterkings, the Mini Miehm forces had switched sides, the Huntarian forces were afflicted with some form of paralysis, and for the most part, it was just a game of Whack-A-Ship for both the Godulan and Corneliuan fleets.

There was, however, a more critical battle raging out at Jupiter.

Achaedus considered the situation over Coredia, then sent the orders.

The Godulan Fleet split, with a full thousand vessels breaking off from the battle to commence probability iterations, with a new escort of five hundred Kython Slaughterkings.

The remaining forces would be enough to split themselves against the Cassiopeian and Huntarian fleets if and when any help for their respective fleets arrived, and hold their ground until the rest of the Allies came back to clean house.

The fleet went into something resembling formation, then winked out, along with five Red Rain torpedos.

And rematerialized over Jupiter. After taking stock of the situation from their newfound vantage, they entered another iteration, materializing within the Coredian fleet and engaging the Cassiopeian forces point blank with a staggering volume of fire, including Kython Ion Cannons. Once again, additional power from several Makos was shunted into the engines to act as make-shift gravity wells, focused on the Cassiopeian vessels. They weren't getting away from here either.

The Chronosians were not spared onslaught, as the five Red Rain Torpedos had materialized in a random pattern around the enemy fleet, dispersing their payloads as soon as they completed transit. The Godulans were also quick to get the locations of any and all flagships for future bombardments.

The Bellerohpon Shield were Stronger then any other Star Destroyer......well, it was a Super Star Destroyer and they all had Powerful Shields. but at 60%, and a Superlaser about to fire...lets say things were about to get fried.

But Luck was a odd lady as a ISD, a Cassiopeian one, got in the way of the Superlaser while it was attacking one of the enemy ISD's and was Blasted to nothing. The Dark Star also attacked, Powering it's Superlaser.

The Tenth Fleet was lost, but one ship was still around. The Revenge was heading for Jupiter to attack the enemy. now thing were Really Heating up.

OOC: The fact that a single SSD has survived 69 fully charged Yamato Cannon blasts, unharmed, with minimal shield damage, when 3 Yamato blasts are capable of crippling an ISD(and have), is definitely a GM, you are ignored until this is rectified.

OOC: I'm forced to concur with Mini on this one. Not just because of the Yamato Cannons but also because of the fact that you were under the constant bombardment of around 40 ISD's. The combination of both of those forces by themselves would have wiped out my flagship and I can guaratee it has more powerfulshields than an SSD with or without blackhole projectors. Now I don't care that an ISD miraculously blundered into my superlaser but you'll need another one of those to block the second shot from the other Wraith Class SSD, unless of course that ISD can span the entire length of my fleet to block both superlasers. Common sense would dictate that my two SSD's are not side by side during the engagement they would present too juicy a target for the enemy.

OOC: Cassiopeia was talking but your ships, and The ISD was in the way, While trying to attack on of your ISD's

and from what I am seeing, The two SSD's (Cassioepeia's and CW's) are Side by side, that meens your Superlaser blasts would take out CW's SSD also.

OOC: That answers the Beta Aurigae question, now how about answering the Yamato Cannon question?

OOC: Bullshit they do, I'm designed to beat SW, having taken tech and modded it to excel against SW in the power dept, and not even the ship that fired those 60 shots can take that kind of punishment, this isn't SCs Yamato Gun, this is a beefed up, modified, Yamato CANNON.

when 3 Yamato blasts are capable of crippling an ISD(and have)

OOC: There we have a somewhat usefull quantification of the Yamato Cannon firepower, 3 can cripple an ISD. Note you said cripple no destroy thus this is a conservative estimate. Going from the 69 blasts = 40% of shields that puts the shields as equivalent to 58 ISDs. For a command ship that is not a godmod.

OOC:The MM II is my Flagship, against an SSD it is almost garaunteed victory, at over 6 miles long, with ten Yamato cannon evenly dispersed over every mile of the ships length, and hundreds of Burst-laser batteries, it is easily a match for an SSD, maybe not in size, but certainly in Armament and firepower.

I should note that the crippling occurred at long range, and took out the shields of the ship involved before it did any damage to the ship in question, wheres this is at best medium range, which means that the shots are at almost full power, so call it triple the strength of the hits in question, now do the math.

I think it took one more hit for the kill, if that's any help.

EDIT: Actually, you know what, screw it, I'll just bring in the Sixth fleet, complete with the Dark Lord of the Sixth, nothing is gonna stop Helmut on a rampage, especially when he unloads his missile pods, putting over 4,000 missiles into space with one salvo from a single ship.(Towed missile pods are very large, and hold ALOT of missiles, laser warhead missiles actually, that detonate at 25,000 Kilometers from their target, sending alot of lasers in the SSDs general direction, not even an SSD can take that kind of damage.)

OOC: If you're going for 1 shot to cripple an ISD than the other ship should have heavy hull damage.

OOC: If you're going for 1 shot to cripple an ISD than the other ship should have heavy hull damage.

OOC: Call it more like one and a half-one and a quarter, but yes, at that range he should have at least lost his shields and taken minimal damage.

See, the Yamato Cannon has a drawback, it loses power over range, at point blank(less than about 2000 kilometers) it should kill an ISD in one shot, at medium(2,000-about 5,000 kilometers) it should cripple it in one hit, at over 5,000 but less than maximium range it should deal massive damage to shields, with the damage grading downwards as the range increases, up to no damage at over 10,000 kilometers. The fight is occuring at about 3,000 kilometers range for my MM ships. I hope that clears things up.

The Tenth Fleet was lost, but one ship was still around. The Revenge was heading for Jupiter to attack the enemy. now thing were Really Heating up.

Progress was slow however, as the Kython War Machine simply flowed about around it, with several Godulan Makos keeping up the Interdictor effect to prevent it from attempting to jump away.

Thousands of Ion Cannons slapped into the enemy vessel's hull and shields with the sole intent of rendering the ship helpless, before the Kythons initiated their Light Discs and commenced the precise dissection of the massive vessel.

Behind them, Kython Con-Spiders had materialized into existence, grappling onto various pieces left behind by the Kython's crushing assault against the Cassiopeian fleet, and vanishing with their cargo. Soon, nothing remained of the devastated enemy fleet but a few useless corpses floating in the void.

The Godulan vessels that had completed Transit over Jupiter now commenced concentrated assaults throughout the Chronosian fleet, with a Kython contingent accompanying their strike, and a second contingent remaining behind to literally rip into the Cassiopeian fleet, once again with several Mako escorts pumping power into their engines to create interdiction fields against several key vessels.

And through all this, the Kingdom Come and its cohorts continued the concentrated assault on the stranded enemy beachhead on Atlantica island.

Tempeted to use my Imperium Ultra Star Destroyer on Mini Miehm

OOC: Cassiopeia was talking but your ships, and The ISD was in the way, While trying to attack on of your ISD's

and from what I am seeing, The two SSD's (Cassioepeia's and CW's) are Side by side, that meens your Superlaser blasts would take out CW's SSD also.

OOC: First off, I know he was talking about my ships and I completely understood what was happening in the post. Second of all, am I the only one here who doesn't think that in space everything needs to be on the same plane? Did it ever occur to you that my other SSD could have been lower than the Cassiopiean SSD which would mean that I wouldn't take out Coreworlds' ship? And my original statement still stands, how can one ISD block the entire length of a fleet when the ships are spread out at least three times it's length and above and below it by many times it's height. It just doesn't make sense. It's not like I'm engaging them at point blank range where it would be easy for a single ISD to block the fire. If you note my last post, I had just entered my maximum firing range.

The Imperial vessels returned fire; concentrating their volleys of fire on the newly arrived Godulans, even as assaults tore through their ranks. Ships burned in the void, but the Godulans would notice that the damage inflicted was nowhere near as terrible as Thorn. The Chronosians had learned from their mistakes, and the spread out, heavily shielded fleet, did not succumb so easily to the Red Rain bombardments.

"Return fire....now" Remiel hissed

The first barrage surged forth, raw gouts of energy; missles tearing at the voids like leeches destined for their prey, as well as other attacks; torpedoes; mines; bombs; a lancing arcing strike of IGBM's; all destined for the Godulan fleet.

The second was a lashing volley of Graviton weapons.

"Godulan fleet; as you can see, the Imperium can also adapt to your cheap tricks. Tell Maximillian that while the Triad's little attempts are valiant, one victory does not make them greater than the Imperium. In fact, we have some new toys prepared for the enormous child; if you'd be so kind as to relay the message"

Weapons crackled; turbolazers and ion cannons lashed out; lancer fire howled; warp cannons bellowed in the void; waves of energy hurtling towards them; as detonations tore asunder space and time...

OOC: Cassiopeia was talking but your ships, and The ISD was in the way, While trying to attack on of your ISD's

OOC: Actually, no. The two SSDs are NOT broadsiding each other. I've interposed some of my own fleet between yours to cut them off from the Imperium's main fleet. And with my allies in the picture, there's no way in hell you're going to get near my ship without very heavy damage, even for the Black-hole shielded SSD. And if I see nothing less than what I expect, you're no longer a parcipitant in this space battle thread. I tolerate GM to an extent, more than most will tolerate, but enough is enough.

IC:
"The Chronosians are distracted. All ships, bombard the enemy!" The Admiral ordered.

OOC: You know, Remiel can always just take a shuttle full of his best men and head planetside...

Between the Godulans, the Beta Aurigaeans and the Coredian fleet flanking the Chronosians from all sides, Remiel has an extremely tough battle ahead of him, and it would only get tougher as time goes on...

The space battle is turning against the enemy. When President Server realized this, he ordered his entire fleet to move closer to the enemy and to finish them off.

Anti--matter warheads were fired at the Chronosian fleet as well as the other enemy fleets that remain. The rest of the 1st navel fleet jumped in system with their full spread of artillery to further decimate the enemy.

The Imperial vessels returned fire; concentrating their volleys of fire on the newly arrived Godulans, even as assaults tore through their ranks.

Weapons crackled; turbolazers and ion cannons lashed out; lancer fire howled; warp cannons bellowed in the void; waves of energy hurtling towards them; as detonations tore asunder space and time...

The Godulans were quick to react, probability jumping out of the general area, then commencing a strange sort of FTL hopscotch, eventually finishing with the Godulan fleet, once again, materializing deep within the confines of the Chronosian fleet...

A goodly number of vessels were intercepted however, being the case as always that they only need to get lucky once to smack you dead, missiles overwhelmed several Godulan targets, shattering them even before they had the chance to engage the self destruct sequence.

However, the Godulans always... ALWAYS had tricks up their sleeves.

A single message went out to the Chronosian fleet as cannonfire erupted in their midst:

Perhaps you did not hear us right the first time... we ALWAYS have backups.

The fire from each Mako lessened slightly, and the runes shifting about on each vessel gleamed with a strange inner light.

And then it happened. A strange pulse of energy rippled out from each Mako as it dodged and weaved through the enemy fleet, the strange shockwave reaching out towards various ships, seemingly doing no damage.

However, to any and all Chronosian troops within the affected vessels, it would have seemed at first as though a deafening screech, like thousands of chalkboards being rubbed with jagged rocks, had erupted into their minds, followed by colossal surges of primal emotions ranging from fear to hatred to joy to soulshredding awe. Those affected by fear would scratch at their eyes in terror, screaming without pause. Those affected by hatred would lash out at anything and everything, nearly crushing their own bones as they attacked each other and any objects nearby. Those affected by joy would spin around in a daze, laughing without pause, possibly even suffocating from inability to take sufficient breath. And those struck by awe, would simply stand there, dumbstruck.

The Godulans had never made much light of their Psionic powers, although the Balroggans and Coredians new exactly how powerful Baron Skye and his Savants were in the matters of the mind. The captain of every Godulan vessel was an M'Lekk'Torr Psion, trained by Skye's savants and fully aware of what his powers allowed him. Aboard each vessel was an item known as a Psionic Amplification Matrix, which helped the Psion create affects far greater than his mind could possibly allow, utilizing the untapped reservoir of the Mako's Neurosynaptic Circuitry and the vessel's own power sources to strengthen the force of their Confusion field.

To any who managed through some miracle to resist the effects, they could hear only one thing:

Laughter...

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

Oddly enough, if one were to have been watching the Kythons at the time of this massive psionic strike, they would have seen that the Slaughterkings and Slaymasters had become even more frenzied in their movements than they usually were...

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

OOC: And yes, I've had these things for a long time. Just never bothered to use 'em. It won't kill your ships, but chances are there's gonna be some pretty heavy personnel casualties, to say nothing of something like this happening while being attacked from three sides...

Remiel yawned softly as a guardsman ran screamign across the deck, grasping his head, before said head was removed by way of Worldrender. "Psychic tricks, is that really all you have to fall back on, little race?" He spat to one side; his mind thrumming with pent up energy. All across the fleet; the Chronosian psykers counteracted the effects, soul-binding and Psychic Hoods protecting them; their own psychic waves pacifying their herd. Deaths were minor, dozens upon each vessel; an entire ship detonated as insane and desperate crewmen engaged self-destruction; plunging in flames towards the Godulans.

The counterattack came swiftly. FTLi fields engaged; weapons thrummed; crackles of energy hurtling towards their prey at close range; even as more of their fleet was torn aside from within and without, by bombardments and attacks...Remiel smirked; and forced his mind forth, in unity with every psyker and sorceror in the fleet; against the enemy psykers. They had no tricks of emotions or silly pissant little sounds; they went straight for the kill; to destroy each Psion's mind from within....Even as their own fleet continued to fire upon the Godulans.

Other ships turned, bombarding Coreworlders and Corelians with antimatter bombs, warp cannons, gravitational weaponry, and other devices which invoked both fear and awe upon each side.

The Confusion field ended almost as quickly as it began, with the Makos returning to their previous firepower... plus something additional.

The Captain-Psions had their own defense mechanism against external mental incursions, in that their M'Lekk'Torr symbiote would send a wave of more focused psionic energy back to the invader such that instead of driving them insane, would simply overload their minds like a lightning bolt. Protection on both sides simply meant that both sides felt an annoying buzzing sound in their minds...

All it took was for the Godulans to decide on which attack would work best, and their second weapon came almost as swiftly as the first effect parted.

The runes separated themselves from the hull of each vessel, and began interposing themselves between the Godulan and Chronosian vessels. The Godulan vessels began firing through these strange runes, which burst with a strange light each time the Flux Cannon fire went through it. The Captain-Psion was now empowering each strike with additional psychokinetic power, enabling each shot to strike with approximately twice its normal impact.

At the same time, each Mako had sped up slightly and was now releasing full salvos of Phase and Tachyon torpedos at anything within range, creating an incomprehensible cloud of crossfire throughout the fleets.

While this occured, the last wave struck. Piercing through the FTLi, although unable to depart once they arrived, the Godulan Strike Drone Swarm had recognized the Chronosian fleet as the greatest threat at the moment, and now focused the entirety of its firepower on the great Chaos ships.

"Captain, our reinforcements are waiting for your command."

"Good, inform the Grand Admiral immediatly."

Back on the Sabertooth...

"Admiral incoming message from Captain Greene. Our new fleet has just arrived out-system. They are waiting cloaked for your orders."

"Bring them in-system and have them attack the enemies rear guard then we will have them completely surrounded. The battle will be swift and decisive. Then we can bring ourselves to more pressing matters, like the huge enemy incursion near the Demonic Deserts."

"Aye sir, transmitting."

Just outside the Sol System...

The second fleet of Beta Aurigae VII waited like a crouched tiger ready to strike.

"Admiral, we have an incoming transmission from Admiral Larcat. He orders us to attack the enemy rear guard and complete the encirclement."

"Ok let's do it. Move the fleet into position and disengage the cloaking fields on my mark."

The fleet entered the system silently. They slowly came into range of the battle around Jupiter.

"We will be in optimum firing range in ten seconds sir."

"Focus around sector three that seems to be the heaviest concentration of enemy ships."

"Firing range reached sir and all ships report ready."

"Disengage cloaking field and commence firing."

Suddenly the large Aurigean fleet appeared directly behind the enemy all of their weapons blazing catching the enemy by suprise. They used the element of suprise well, targeting the capital ships with superlasers hitting them in the exposed aft sections. Wreaking destruction throughout the enemy formation. The element of suprise wasted, the Aurigeans prepared for the hard slog that would be the coming battle.

OOC: This new fleet is exactly the same as the first one I sent so for numbers just look in the OOC thread.

Tempeted to use my Imperium Ultra Star Destroyer on Mini Miehm

Do it...

I have a response canned for Uber-Ships...

Something along the lines of a DS, slightly smaller(3\4 size), and armed with my Grav-Cannon...

"Mr. President, we're starting to take heavy casualties."

"Thank you Mr. Anderson." Server said as he searched over the battle. "Have the Taskforce Omega come about and engage. Then fire off a full antimatter torpedo spread."

"Yes sir."

"Sir, this is comm. We have just received word that TaskForce Savannah is 20 minutes out."

"Very well. Keep me posted."

"Yes sir."

The torpedoes were fired from the Armaggedon as well as all of the vessels of the Corneliuan Navy.

OOC: I'm limited in computer time do to campus net not working for me. Hopefully in a couple of days, I'll be able to post more.

OOC: So, am I beng ignored, or have I missed something, or what?

(OOC: Well, I'm back.)

The Hakurabi force had been decimated by the extremely large (and mind bogglingly improbable) fleet that had been sent by the Cassiopeians. Few survivors were left, and even those were crippled.

More extreme measures would be required to defeat the improbably powerful shielding employed by the Cassiopeians.

When the carnage had settled, the battle moved to Jupiter, the remaining ships were left to consider their options.

The Millenium was crippled and there were four remaining battlecruisers of the once reasonable navy.

As construction vessels hyperspaced in and patched up the survivors, a different strategy was realised.

Cassiopeian shields employed gravitics.

Hakurabi shields also employed gravitics.

More specifically, Hakurabi's used anti-gravity.


The Anti-Matter missiles were retrofitted to activate anti-gravity devices at the rear of the warheads and detonate when the gravity hit a certain threshold. (OOC: This should be devastating to your ships in paticular, Cassiopeia, as it would lob the warhead at the hypothetical escape velocity of a black hole at your ship.)

However, the unfortunate thinning of the Battlecruiser ranks meant that for now, only a few could be deployed.

--------
Jupiter
--------
The survivors and a number of reinforcements rejoined the battle, moving into the planetary area.

OOC: New Fleet Ranks.
10x Broadsides w/ anti-BHG missiles
Millenium w/ anti-BHG missiles
20x Faiths
2x Logistical Freighters

Their smaller numbers meant that they could only pick and choose their prey, but it was enough.


The fleet split into three groups - two broadside/faith groups escorting the freighters and the Millenium with two Broadsides and four Faiths.

The Dark Star would not be getting away this time.

Whilst the two battlegroups orbited the Bellerophon, the Millenium was intent on finishing the job. A volley of the retrofitted missiles was fired at the ship, and soon followed by a barrage of plasma and rocket fire. The Proton Streamer was to be saved for the moment, for its use required the spinal mounted weapon to be facing the ship.

The battlegroups fired their entire barrages on the Bellerophon and pounded it with plasma fire as the freighters launched little subunits to reload the battlecruisers.

The Bellerophon's Shields wre at 79% but The Bellerophon was already Retreating, unlike The other Ships, The Bellerophon had normal Shield Generators. The Sqaudron was Retreating, but two ships were staying, The Revenge and the Dark Star both about to ram enemy Ships.

The Dark Star was heading for the Millenium, intent on destroying the Ship, while The Revenge was heading for The CoreWorlds SSD. The Squadron had only five ISDs and The Bellerophon and a few Fighters left as it Jumped into Hyperspace.

"Sir, the enemy Super Star Destroyer is heading straight for us!"

"Very well! Send the Voidbringer Squadron after it, support them with the X-wings!" Rommel snapped the orders.

The K-wing reserve heavy bomber wing roared out of the hangar bay of the Imperium and flew towards the enemy ship, followed by a wing of X-wings to keep enemy fighters off. What was special about this bomber wing was that they carried the deadliest weapon in the Coredian arsenal: Gravitic missiles and bombs. These babies can create black holes once detonated, and so, the K-wings were going to destroy or damage the enemy SSD heavily with the missiles...if they survived.

In support of the Coredian assault, Foehammer and his surviving squadron moved in as backup, their misile racks were mostly empty, but they were the heaviest and most agile fighters in the TD fleet, and they had one thing left going for them, their Special Weapons mounts, at Foehammers orders they had been changed in the short time the fleet was gone, now they bore massive Grav-Cannon, they had only 3 shots each, but the shots were each powerful enough to punch through an ISD the long way, this SSD was toast. The only drawback to the Grav-cannon was that they were dead in space for 10 seconds after firing, but there was usuaslly nothing capable of damaging them left after they used the cannon, so it was considered worth the risk, this time it was almost certain that a few would be lost though, since there was little chance that everything would be destroyed when they fired, it was just a risk they'd have to take.

OOC: Oy! The entire time that the Revenge was moving towards the Coredian fleet, it was getting blasted by about 500 Kython Slaughterkings. That sucker ain't heading anywhere... its GONNA be limping...

As the Revenge approached, the Kython Slaughterkings tearing their way through the Cassiopeian fleet already present, maneuvered to engulf the Super Star Destroyer itself, putting up even more of a hurting on the enemy fleet.

At the same time, some 250 Kython vessels from the Earth Defense fleet vanished from the general area, leaving half their number to bolster the Jupiter fleet, and returning to Earth to provide some measure of reinforcement to the Godulan ground forces...

----------------------------EDIT------------------------------------------

OOC: Oh, and I almost forgot...

Meanwhilst, the Makos were having a surprisingly hard time with the Chronosian fleet. But they were certainly giving as good as they were getting. The Chronosians had been remarkably resilient against the Godulan Confusion field, so the Godulans had settled for psionically enhancing their respective vessels' firepower. Right now, the Makos had essentially gotten themselves into a slugfest with a larger and somewhat more suicidal enemy.

However, in a somewhat surprising turn, another ten Red Rain torpedoes had materialized around the Chronosian fleet, dispersing their payloads towards the Chronosian vessels. The Fusion missiles each locked onto specific enemy targets and hurtled forth, leveling another swarm of missiles upon the Chronosian fleet, while the Makos were still in what they called the Melee.

The drawback to spreading themselves out, as the Chronosians were about to find out, was that the Godulans now had the option of being able to concentrate volleys of Red Rain on the fleet, without requiring the Makos to iterate out first. The Makos, as a result of being able to stay somewhat further away from the enemy vessels, would be relatively unharmed by the assault. They might lose some vessels, but not quickly enough to prevent them from dive-bombing the nearest enemy battleship.

OOC: Oy! The entire time that the Revenge was moving towards the Coredian fleet, it was getting blasted by about 500 Kython Slaughterkings. That sucker ain't heading anywhere... its GONNA be limping...

OOC: Something tells me our posts just get ignored Godular, considering that the Cassiopeians have been under attack by my fleet for a few pages now. There was an argument about whether I destroyed Cassiopeias SSD a few pages back. Just because I didn't post attacking him again doesn't mean that I stopped attacking him. And BTW Cassiopeia, you never responded properly to how your ISD managed to block and entire fleet's worth of fire.

In the heat and confusion of battle; Remiel and the main troop transports engaged their warp drives; tearing through the fray and away towards the distant battlefield. Remiel hungered; these impudent wretches were beneath him. He knew what he needed; what he desired. He would bring death and destruction to the world...

Masaki...

Hungering, seething with flames and rage; desiring nothing short of his foes destruction, Remiel's mind hurtled forth. Seeking his foe..

The Chronopsian fleet was riven by the red rain; explosions rocked countless ships; some burst into flames; others tore in half by the psionically enhanced blasts; yet every onslaught, they returned; each attack, they responded too.

Mines and bombs hurtled towards their enemies; missles seeded the ranks of all who would oppose them; along with the vast coruscating blasts of energy based weapons.

They would stand their ground; they would not yield....

OOC: I'm just going to ignore TCG and save myself a few dozen headaches, I no longer acknowledge his presence in this thread, later on, maybe, in this thread, no.

IC:

The fleet headed to engage the Chronosian vessels and act as support to their allies, they would bring the Imperial vessels down under the hammer of their massive guns.

OOC: You're forgetting that the Millenium is also equipped with the retrofitted missiles, and they are only different in that they accelerate massively on contact with a high gravity force... You ignored the fact that the Dark Star was also being pounded by said missiles.

You're not taking note of the fact that you're trying to jump out UNDER DIRECT FIRE. Ships are nearby, and interdicting any easy jump out for this paticular skirmish.

The Millenium and cohorts are smaller, faster and more maneuverable than an ISD.

IC:

The Millenium, having gained the attention of the Dark Star, moved broadside to the ship. The remainder of the volleys (30 missiles) were fired at the hulking vessel, and skirmishing fire passed between the two ships.

The Bellerophon was seized in its jump by the FTLi field already in place by numerous elements of both alliances, as well as both battlegroups. The Bellerophon would need to fight its way out first.

As soon as it was discovered that the Bellerophon was not using the gravitic shields of the Dark Star, the battlegroups took on a new strategy.

One battlegroup continued to pound and harass the vessel, a stream of plasma and a periodic volley of missiles were fired at the ship. The other started to head around to the other side of Jupiter.

Ships ruptured and tore apart by the immense bombardments, but the fleet fought back with a ferocity that matched their foes. Green death poured from the wedge-shapes of Star Destroyers, missiles shot forth from Star Cruisers, railcannons zipped from Shinobi Cruisers, plasma bolts rained from the Dragonstorm Battlecruisers and random large slugs or asteroids were thrown by the Hokage Battleships, all concentrating their firepower on the larger enemy ships then working their way down from there...

"Captain, our reinforcements are waiting for your command."

"Good, inform the Grand Admiral immediatly."

OOC: I was attacking you Chronosia in this post. Sorry, that I didn't direct the post at you to begin with, completely my fault.

The Corneliu Fleet continues to fire at the Chronosia fleet with a barrage of anti-matter torpedoes.

"Keep up the pressure. I want them all eliminated from Coredia space!" Server was shouting.

The fleet continued to pour on the pressure on the Chronosian fleet!

The most powerful ship of the Terran Fleet was the single comissioned MM II, and it was being hammered, even with three layers of independent shields, and armor capable of taking hits from hundreds of Turbolasers, it was a battered juggernaut, but it was a very powerful battered juggernaut, and it lashed the Chronosians with Yamato fire in a ripple, a battered juggernaut was hammering away at the enemy fleets, and it was taking a bit worse than it was giving, but it held on, three guns were gone, anmd it held on, nothing could stop the Dark Lord of the Sixth...

The ships of the 3rd fleet could not hope but notice the teleportation of the egg into the Chronosians ship, they immediately knew something was wrong, and the seven remaining Leviathans opened up every weapon they had onto that single ship, three were at close, 1 was at medium, the other three wre at the far edge of their range, but hopefully they could still kill the enemy with sevn Yamato shits, they didn't have anything else but their lasers, and those were not very powerful, not powerful eough to destroy a ship, but enough to put a hurt on it, and so they did.

OOC: 1) Where do you assume this ship is?

2) How can you dictate exactly where my ships are in relation to yours when you don't even know where my ships are?

OOC: 1) Where do you assume this ship is?

Dunno about MM, but I am presently assuming "Over Coredia, preparing to wig out"

I personally ain't gonna do anything because I've got something in the works that would make for a very interesting battle with yer new 'acquisition' indeed.

OOC: That sounds fun...Btw, since Hobbeebia's valiant knight buggered off, you could throw in Maxi for a while, till Coreworlds gets back from slaying the warp gate :P

OOC: 1) Where do you assume this ship is?

2) How can you dictate exactly where my ships are in relation to yours when you don't even know where my ships are?

I assume it is relatively near the planet.

And I say where I think my ships are in relation to yours, for my ships long range is anything between 5k klicks, and 10k klicks, medium is 2-5k klicks, short is less than 2k klicks.

Dunno about MM, but I am presently assuming "Over Coredia, preparing to wig out"

High above; the egg was still in isolation; stored in a room similar in composition to a Geneseed storage facility; heavily armored and defended against even the most terrible of bombardments. As the ship turned, preparing to return to the warp; the other ships went with it; a defensive wall to protect them until they escaped from this system. They would bring this brave new discovery to the Mechanicus; they would survive....

As the Miehmian attacks rocked the ship; shields holding, hull rent here and there; the other ships opened fire; Remiel's flagship hurling a collosal blast of warp energy towards them, as missles and torpedoes hurtled towards the enemy vessels; the egg transported to the furthest away shift; readying for a warp jump. The fleet maintaining their attacks; the location of the egg unknown by the enemy; the ship they had last detected it on plunged through the formation; all weapons ablaze; as it rammed towards the enemy; ready to sacrifice itself for the greater good of the Emperor's Will.

A leviathan went down under the fire, the rest backed down, they weren't sure where the egg was, and it would be futile to try now, they were all shattered hulks, battered and wrecked, they warped out, in a very different direction from the Chronosians.

Near Jupiter
Space crackled open, creating a bright hyperspace rift as if the angels have torn space-time open themselves. Out of the rift came the Duel of the Fates and its personal Star Destroyer escorts, and they gave a morale boost that went right through the roof, and the entire fleet, if ever was possible, intensifed their firepower.

Admiral Swenson saw that the enemy fleet was still going a bit strong. "Target the nearest enemy battleship, and let 'er rip!"

Energy drew into the barrel of the Star Battleship's primary weapon and pulsed out towards one of Chronosia's ships, followed a few seconds later by a massive volley of the rest of the weapons and escorts' weapons. The tide has turned in favor of the Coredians...

The Bellerophon soon started heading for the enemy ship Duel of The Fates at full Speed, Ramming Speed, it it was going down, it would go down Fighting!.

The Bellerophon soon started heading for the enemy ship Duel of The Fates at full Speed, Ramming Speed, it it was going down, it would go down Fighting!.
The trap was sprung for the enemy flagship, for the Voidbringer Squadron has begun throwing three volleys of one gravitic missile into it, making thirty six missiles being that 12 x 1 x 3 = 36. Each missile will -upon impact- form a small black hole that tore apart space-time, ripping pieces of the ship at a time. While one black hole was small enough for a ship the size of the Bellerophon to possibly survive, 36 was a killer, for it was being torn apart from all sides.

OOC:
They're not true black holes, but more like gravitational hyperspace rifts since we can control their yield almost at will, so it's a misnomer that stuck. They volatile nature of the rift means that even fighters with hyperdrives will be torn apart upon entrance. Larger ships may survive, but the damage would be horrendous.

Whilst the Millenium and cohorts were finishing the Dark Star, The battlegroups saw a unique opportunity to seal the fate of the Bellerophon. A full barrage of the Retrofitted missiles were fired at the Bellerophon, alongside the gravitic missiles, so if by any possibility the ship survived the intense gravitic assault, the triggered missiles would finish it.

(OOC: Is the Dark Star dead or something?)

(OOC: Is the Dark Star dead or something?)

OOC: CoreWorlds already beat you to it

IC: The Bellerophon was Toast as it was ripped apart. The Dark Star was killed also, the Only Ship Left, The Saber was Near Neptune was it Jumped into Hyperspace, leaveing the Sol System.

OOC: I See.

IC:
After the Cassiopeians had been driven from the battlefield, the fleet pulled back a bit to reload their missile payloads and lock onto different targets.

OOC: ...

Maybe I should just deploy land forces?

This looks pretty cool, can i join somehow. I just bought 2000 Huntaerian space fighters and need some use for them, lol. :rolleyes:

Part 2 is pretty much over. But when the OOC thread for Part 3 gets posted, feel free to join... though I would prefer you join the Central Powers, considering how outmatched they are at the moment :)

You could probably join next phase. Part 2 sign-ups are long over.

OOC: I will start The Sign-up Thread for Part Three soon, and also, their will be a Side Story just Before Part Three.
