Silence was something most races and galactic governments hoped would remain of Imperial space. It had been over a century since The Grand Shadow Imperium had made any form of diplomatic relations with outsiders. This was about to change rather dramatically.


The silence was broken in the Yothran System, This small insignificant system on the edge of Imperial space had just been violated by a single Deatharonian Mother-ship. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/Xharnia/Deatharonian_mothership.jpg) The Imperial mother ship headed towards the only inhabited in the system Yothran III.


This small earth like planet had for years been area that was just outside of Imperial authority. It was believed by the government of the Yothran system that The Shadow Imperium had collapsed and the dark days of paying tribute to the hated Deatharonians was over the Yothranians would soon learn differently as the Deatharonian warship orbited the planet.


The mother-ship held its position. It's massive Molecular Disintegration Cannon locked on to the nearest city and fired a massive disintegration beam straight at the city's center. The purple beam completely turned the city and all its inhabitants into particle dust. This was used to get the rest of the planet's attention.

The people of Yothran III, foolishly tried to used their planetary defense forces against the massive warship. The mother-ship fired it's missiles in response as hundreds of small interceptor like point defense missiles intercepted enemy fighters and surface to space missiles. The shields easily held against the pathetic laser batteries on the surface of the planet. The Deatharonian warship unleashed several low yield nuclear missiles at these defenses. In a matter of a few hours the Yothran system was totally defenseless.


The people of Yothran III were now frightened the loss of their defenses and the death of thousands of people was always disturbing to newly conquered peoples. This was no exception as the Mothership started to beam down hundreds of Shadow Templars (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/Xharnia/Deatharonian_templars.jpg) down to the planet.

These were not common slave humans or alien mercenary warriors. These were pure Deatharonians genetically engineered humans that were enhanced with super-strength, increased intelligence, and increase Psychic ability. The Deatharonian warriors fought the same way that forged their Imperium. They fought without mercy and without compassion. They heartless killed and vaporized any that resisted their occupation of the planet. The smart ones that surrender were immediately enslaved and became human slaves to the Grand Shadow Imperium.



The Shadow Templar Legion launched a massive invasion on the planet attacking major population centers and vital countryside where food was grown. The planet fell after a mere solar day of the planet.

This planet was the first to fall to the Shadow Crusade. Inside Imperial Space more of these ships are gearing up and mobilizing along with thousands of Shadow Templars preparing to launch an larger assault upon the rest of the Galaxy. The problem was to find a suitable target to unleash the mighty legions of Deatharon…
