Nova United System

The Astaterians were under attack by pirates and rebels over the last ten years, but, usually, the Astaterians held them off, but now it was different. The Rebels managed to get hold of the latest weapons and now the Astaterian navy was being pounded back to their home system. After a few months though, the defenses collapsed and the Astaterian navy was driven back again to three homeworlds. The Rebels seized the nearby habitable planets and begun planning for the next assault. The rebels struck hard, but were suddenly beaten back by the latest ship developed by the Astaterian navy. It was much bigger then a Super destroyer, something called the "Anti-Super Destroyer". The new ship was around 20 kilometers long, which was bigger then the rebel fleet combined. the rebels were routed and the Astaterians won. All that remained of the Asataterian navy was 4 ships, 1 massive ship, and three cruisers.

The rebels were preparing for another assault, this time with everything they had. The Astaterian navy knew that they would collapse if the rebels sent in everything. A message, in all languages, was sent out to the surrounding systems and the universe.

The Astaterians were calling for aid.

The light cruiser Naru was on patrol with her four escorts, the destroyers Tolga, Tynset, Alvdal, and Folldal when they recieved the message.

"Captain, we're recieving a request for aid. I think it's from some backwater planet's government." reported the Naru's comms officer.

"Just what seems to be the problem?" asked Captain Sven.

"I'm not sure. Probably pirates or Allaneans or some other godless plague. It doesn't say." conjectured the comms officer.

"...Very well. Radio the Trondheims and set course for the location of the signal." relented the skipper. These little rescue missions were becoming all too frequent. He was begining to think that it might be a better idea to just annex all of the little independent nations that couldn't properly defend themselves rather than keep running his ship all over the place to save the day.


Heralded by a bright white flash, the five Shanderan ships appeared in the Nova United system. Their blue hulls shone in the light from the system's star. Shortly after arrival, Captain Sven sent out a message.


This is the Bryn Shanderan cruiser Naru. We've recieved a vague request for aid. What is the nature of your emergency?

The War-fortress Osiris was on a search and destroy mission, searching for the last remnants of the Dark Misstreses suporters, when it recived an emergancy message.
"Looks like someone needs our help" Said High Admaral Haigh (comander of the ship) "Trace that signal and set a course, maximum transwarp."
"Ayte sir" chorused several crew members.

A few minutes later the Transwarp drive humed into life, a green transwarp window opened and the Osiris sped off towards its destination.

After 30 minutes it dropped out of transwarp and began broadcasting on all frequencys "To the senders of the distress message transmited from these co-ordinates, this is High Admaral Haigh aboard the D.E.S. Osiris, we have sent a transmition to the ISIS HQ requesting reinforcements (http://www.freewebs.com/isisalliance/forums.htm?forumID=2057198&page=1&topicID=1106287)and are here to provide suport. Please respond."

"Ship master," started the operator. "We have a transmission from a race requesting help against rebels,"

Ship master Kennedy looked around the bridge and ordered a transmission to be sent throughout the 16 Assault cruisers and 9 transport cruiser's to set course for the Nova United System.

After a hyper jump.

Kennedy sent out a message.

To: Nova United
From: Union Warship Destroyer

We hear your cry for help and we'll answer the call with the 32nd Assault Fleet, 10th Lynion Hunters Division, 4th Armoured Division and the 14th and 12th Regular's Division.

We are Lynion origin. Standby, help is on the way.

ooc: forgive any n00bishness i am new but have some experiance

The kewen with the data sent back from the KSS indomitable(see A Journey to the stars( open FC FT) for more details) and the discovery of many alien races with powerful warships the kewen stepped up production of what was hoped to be their main warship the Deliverance design (see http://homeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Hiigaran_Destroyer just the pic ignore everything else) a massive 1,3km is lenght the biggest warship kewen has constructed to this day pinicle of kewen technology. its mission thesame of its breatheren armed with a smaller pulse they were to map out the futherest reigions of what was to be kewen space


The ship made the transition to realspace pretty easily the kinks of FTL mostly worked out when the recived the distress message
"how far?"Chirrped Aza the second kewen to recive a name
"three systems away Ship leader, do we engage and go there?"
"yes we shall".
with a shudder the KSS Pride phazed into the sub-verse and moments later appearing into the system its weapons system online and standby and fighter squadrons ready( i will make a fact book asap)

responding to the SOS Aza said in halting english
"Kewen we are of the KSS Pride, helping you how do we?"

"Ah, some requests? For aid no less. Freeloaders." The Lesser Admiral Yuji frowned and shouted over the ship wide comm.
"Get the freaking lead out! Set warp to those co-ordinates, and put something good on, that shit ain't fighting music!" Blue Danube cut out for a moment, replaced with She Builds Quick Machines. "Much better, now go!" The battlegroup jumped into hyperspace.

Astaterians, this is the VTN Raven (http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z107/Kain1235/sona-battleship.jpg) and the 3rd battlegroup. The Raven, Crow, Falcon and Hawk (http://www.pbem-portal.com/trek/borderlands/cromwell/discovery.jpg) are en route to the co-ordinates. Sit tight.

In the depths of the warp, something laughed.
And so the mortals call for aid. Whispered a voice through the dust of the immaterium. And we will send it to them. It laughed again. They are weakened, we must wait for the moment to strike, and then it will tumble down.

Space weakened slightly, and it wobbled as it's material barriers were being teared down. The area was being prepared, for the entrace to the mortal realm.

*bump* i want this to live!

*ties thread up to lightning rod*
Live! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!

Give it some time, it's only been a day.

> Signal analysis indicates possible opportunity for symbiotic relationship.
> Changing course to investigate.

The DarkStar Sphere opens a wormhole to the Astaterian system and goes through.

It was that which had called them there. The Librarians of the Grey knights had ordained it centuries before. Many would forget these things however Justicar Tigrus had found this prophecy deep in the Librarium Daemonicum on Tepis. It was what had lead him to the Astaterian system aboard the Strike Cruiser Hunter Brother-Captain Huron had sent him and his squad to hunt the Enemy in this system.

He turned and his gunmetal armor glinted in the light of the system's sun, hefting his Nemesis Halberd he walked to the central dais and examined the star charts and auspex readings. He looked around at his men and smiled knowing they were in for a fight.

*space bump*

OOC: Post up tomorrow night, I'm very busy with work. Just assume I responded and told you guys about the rebels.

ooc: i would do that but you see kewen isnt human we be a race of 1.6 meter high brightish to dull blue spiders :P so i wanna know your reation to me and my bad english :P oh yhea

*bump*

The Corpse-Lord sends his best, the Ordo Malleus' lapdogs, the Astartes, the Grey Knights.

It wont be a problem.

But master-

They are but an obstacle in my great schemes. Leave them to me, they are but a pawn in my game.

On a planet of Change, deep within the warp, where the continents changed shape constantly and the atmosphere turned poisonous to containing high levels of nitrogen in a moment, a Greater Daemon of Chaos pondered over it's realm as it stood on a mountain of Tzeentchian monuments. Looking over it's planet, Fatecarver continued it's thoughts in silent contemplation. The Grey Knights were pests at best to it's thoughts, but long had they hounded the Great Daemon of Undivided Chaos. Yes they had been sucsessful once, sending him back to the warp for a thousand years and a day. Not that it cared, time was nothing to an immortal. As it looked over the many forming volcanoes over the horizen, it heard the constant screams of his Khornate followers through the winds. Rustling it's many multicoloured feathers, Fatecarver slunk back to the top of the mountain where his great throne was. It was made of flesh and blood, and it resonated slowly with the power of the warp.
Send me your champions to the last man, Emperor, that I may grind them to dust! It screamed in unison with the choirs of the Khornate bloodletters as the planet's seas turned to blood.

*bump* ooc: i think this is dead :(

"Admiral, lots of ships are in our system."

"Send them the message."

"Our situation is desperate, rebels have seized planets and aim to destroy the Republic forever."

The Massive Astaterian ship went out to meet the visitors.

To: The Republic of Astater

The Phenixican Empire if you please will send 15 Battlecruisers along with 30 Patrol Ship to the Republic to Aid your efforts.

The Empire asked that afterwards we hold talks about a Alliance between our two nations, As the Empire is always striving to find new Allies in this Conflicted Universe of which we live.

The Empire can activate it's Warpgates and send the Fleet directly to your Star system, aslong as you supply Coordinates to which we can align it too.

From: John Krusi of the Imperial Senate

"Captain?"
"Yes, Etch'vaar?"
"I am picking up a signal. My interpreters have classed it as an SOS."
"Play it back."
The captain of the Venerable One, the most heavily armed battleship in all of outpost 829304 of the Omega Matrix, listened to the cry for help and silently contemplated his options.
"Etch'vaar? I think I will request help from the Overlord."

The captain had made his decision. He would ask for troops from the Omega Matrix itself. These rebels wouldn't know what hit them.

"...This isn't an attack by pirates or Allaneans." stated the captain.

"Is it really our business to be interfering with their internal affairs, sir?" questioned one of the lesser officers on the bridge.

"We're the goddamned Vascilian League. Everything is our business if we so deem it to be our business. Besides, they requested help." came the skipper's swift reply.


A message was broadcast from the Naru.

We understand that you have been having issues with rebels. It has been decided that this ship will remain in system to aid in the defense of your planet until a more official arrangement can be made. The Captain has requested a meeting with your government for a proper briefing.

The even larger Osiris stoped infront of the aproaching ship "We copy that , we will anhialate the rebles before they even reach you." they transmited.

ooc: To give you an idea of how large the war-fortresses are think the lenght of an imperial ssd, much deeper than one and not aswide. It has 6 sets of dual mega guns, 4 mega dense transphasic missile launchers, 2 super cannons and 4 repeating blaster cannons (AC). On top of that it has 400 turbolasers, 450 lasers and 300 turbo ion cannons.

ooc: with the amout of help that has arrived........... the rebels have NO CHANCE....i mean you got a warfotress 30 srusiers coming etc what can the rebels have to match that?

when the kewen heard of their plight they were confused they had never suffered from a "rebellion" before pledging their support trying to lernmore about this kewen sent two messages

Closed channel to Astater Ship
"helping you might we,rebel size is?"

open channel to all ships
"We Are the Kewen,Exploration is our mission meeting withothers is our goal."

OOC: On a side note, these Bloodletters I speak of are the newer models version (the ones being released 10th of may).

The mortals must be stopped, the rebels must achieve their goal! Whispered Fatecarver through the Warp. We attack now!

The weakened area of space bulged as the Legions of the Chaos Gods tried to tear themselves into the mortal realm. The Daemons did not have any ships, they would have to do with Fatecarvers powers of teleportation. With a final push, space teared open, and in a moment it had closed up. It looked like nothing had got through, but it's amazing how fast Daemons can be.

Spinebreaker, Bloodletter Champion and Bloodbather of Khorne slowly turned his huge horned head to and fro. It was always strange to move into the mortal realm, and he stomped his hooves in frustration that he had been given a mission of sabotage and not full on attack. His long tongue slithered out of his fanged mouth, and he looked around for some prey to kill. None, he noted with disapointment. One of the bloodletters; Deathbringer, snarled in bloodlust.
"We have been given a quest for Nurglings. We are the Soldiers of the Blood God! We do not hide like cowards!"
"Hold your tongue weakling! You will get your Blood, you just need to be patient." Spinebreaker growled, and stomped over to a nearby wall. In faded black letters there were the words

The Osiris, Lowest Deck

Spinebreaker hefted his greatsword onto his shoulder, and pointed with his claw into the dimly lit corridors next to his warriors.
"Move out Bloodletters, we strike at the heart. Then you will get your blood." The Bloodletters shouted as loudly as they dared in fanatic worship to their god, and marched on, their greatswords hungering for blood.

ooC: the gods of the warp fyi my ship corridos are about 1.7 meters high and seeing as chaos creatures and soilders are bulking monstrocities its going to be hard squeezing into my ships

Not all Chaos Daemons are super tall, anyway, it's not like they can't duck slightly.

With a bright green flash, the Raven and her entourage dropped out of warp and sent a localized breach hail.
"This is the VTN Raven and the 3rd battlegroup answering the distress call. How may we be of assistance?" On board, weapons and marines were being prepared, in case of a trap or even just arriving late.

The struggle of the Astaterians was not unheard in the chaos of this universe. Help comes from many strange places, and with the arrival of Chaos, it would appear that they would need more help than ever, though they do not know of the threat that festers deep within the heart of one of their rescuers. However, help was on its way from the Galactic Defense Initiative. A bustling nation of humans who have, in recent years, defeated a powerful internal foe, and come back from being utterly defeated and losing almost all of the Second Fleet to the Balroggans in the GE attack on Jurai. However, in the years since then, the GDI received aid from the Dornalians in the form of technology to give them a boost in their capabilities, and with the Home Reclamation and Home Defense efforts nearly finishing, the GDI were ready to help abroad once more. And what better place to start than in a nation struggling to defend itself from rebellion.

The GDI felt their pain; having to deal with the Brotherhood of Nod had nearly destroyed them, several times, and the Chiefs of Staff deemed it necessary to send aid. Knowing that several nations were probably already on their war, they were not going to need to send much aid. So it was that a single GDI Hades-class Heavy Cruiser, the GDIS Talon, captained by a one Jane Clark. It was enough and reinforcements were on call, in case things got bad, which was going to be prudent in the following minutes...

The ships there would since a flickering of spatial disturbance and then pseudo-motion as they saw the strange sight, except in the case of the ships from Bryn Shander, of a ship phasing into existence within two seconds. One second, it was but a wisp of illusion, the next it was here, armor, weapons, and all. Jane stood up and clasped her hands behind her back. "Open a channel to the Republic, Samantha."

"Yes, ma'am." The EVA A.I. set to work, and a channel was quickly opening. Coughing to clear her throat, she began to speak.

"Greetings to the Astaterian Republic from the Galactic Defense Initiative. I am Captain Clark of the GDIS Heavy Cruiser Talon. We have intercepted your distress call and have sent a ship to aid in your defense against the rebels. Where would you like to have me?"

The Initiative had come, and added another layer to this already complex puzzle...

OOC: Hey Bryn Shander, been a long time since I've rped with you.

Justicar Tigrus listened intently as his Navigator informed him of the incursion by the forces of Chaos. He looked to Listros as he hefted his Incinerator, "Prepare for a teleport we need to deal with these forces quickly and efficiently. Also be prepared because I just received a report that Lord Vagabond was sighted in the area, and you know how he wishes to prove his might." Justicar Tigrus looked to his men as they finished their prayer of battle. The seven of them had been with him loyally for years he almost smiled as he saw the Osiris before their cloaked Strike Cruiser.

A few minutes later they were on the teleporter and they began the sacred rites to use the teleporter. The smell of incense reached the Justicar's nose before he smelt the burning ozone indicative of the teleporter.

Moments later they were aboard the Osiris the Shrouding hiding them from all forms of detection. Stepping forward Justicar Tigrus had to shrink down as he entered the corridor from a cargo bay. He called out to his squad, "Listros take point." Listros keenly eyed him and gave a brisk nod manuveuring around him. Slowly the squad began down the corridor to hunt down the Chaos threat.

OOC: Uh... Why is everyone gunning for the Osiris?

ooc: the choas reason for hitting the osiris is they wanna help said rebels the biggest ship is astarts and and he used it to beat back the rebels now, the choas have no idea what ship astars uses so they assume its the biggest one from Astars transmission. NOW you said your ship was larger or signifigantly larger then Astars big shippie and the choas think " Hey is that theirs? yup! leets get it!"

and thats why everyone is gunning for the osiris coz you brough a huge ass ship.

p.s sorry for the misspelling of astar or what ever

OOC: The funny part is that the Naru is probably the most powerful ship present even being AFAIK the smallest at 650m.

Also: y helo thar telros

OOC: I say I run a close second. ^^ The GDI build their ships to take lots of ships to kill, or some very specialized technology, but I digress. Now, can we move on with the thread. With people fighting the chaos and the rebels coming. I'd like this NOT to turn into a clusterfuck, as its in danger of becoming.

OOC: I say I run a close second. ^^ The GDI build their ships to take lots of ships to kill, or some very specialized technology, but I digress. Now, can we move on with the thread. With people fighting the chaos and the rebels coming. I'd like this NOT to turn into a clusterfuck, as its in danger of becoming.

OOC: I'd agree with that. The thing about my ships is that they're actually one step up from what they're labled. IE: The Naru is actually more along the lines of a heavy cruiser but called a light cruiser. Not to mention that the general rule for fleets is 1000/billion and I only have 985 ships...

But on that note, I don't understand what's actually happening in this thread anymore.

ooc: this turned into a clusterfuck on the 3rd page which is what were on now go back to the second page to find out where we left off

We understand that you have been having issues with rebels. It has been decided that this ship will remain in system to aid in the defense of your planet until a more official arrangement can be made. The Captain has requested a meeting with your government for a proper briefing.

Admiral Maklos will meet with your captain on the planet.

"Greetings to the Astaterian Republic from the Galactic Defense Initiative. I am Captain Clark of the GDIS Heavy Cruiser Talon. We have intercepted your distress call and have sent a ship to aid in your defense against the rebels. Where would you like to have me?"

Currently we would like your ship to be placed to the right of our largest warship, because the ship can be easily attacked on the flank.

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


The rebels were displeased with the appearance of the foreign ships, very displeased. They vowed to destroy them all, meanwhile, the one thousand ship rebel fleet was being prepared, not that they would have to worry about logistics, the fleet was in for a suicidal mission.

OOC: I know, I use the same system. Odd, ain't it? And yeah, I could have 1867, but I have 156. :/ And I just realized I posted with the wrong account. *sigh*

Also, Kewen, my child, you have not seen the things I have seen. This is on the cusp of being a cluster fuck, but I've seen ones where the amount of nations exceeded the fingers on both hands. My food for thought today.

IC:

"I understand and am moving to the appropriate vector. May God watch over us all. Talon out."

Clark turned to Samantha. "Get us there, and keep an eye out for these rebels. I want us ready and locked on to them when they come in-system. Let's chase these bastards straight back into the void."

"Yes, ma'am." The A.I. turned and began to work, it's eyes half-lidded to show it was busy getting them moving. The engines grew bright as power was shunted to them, and the ship smoothly turned to bank to the right and moved with great precision and skill to the right of the Astaterians largest warship, so as to prevent any flanking maneuvers the rebels might managed to pull off. Then, they sat down and waited for the enemy to come. The area quieted down, until they could hear the soft beeping of the consoles, the tapping of keys, the humming of the machines. It was the deep breath before the plunge....and soon, it would turn into all out chaos and destruction. Clark sighed. But then, battle was always like that. You can't have your cake and eat it too, you had to sacrifice something to get something, something called equivalent exchange by some people.

She shrugged and turned his eyes back to the sensors, waiting for the first signs of contacts.

"Empire of Astaters, kewen we being authorised to be helping you in as many ways possible without endagering ships ours, littling we know of the rebels anything you can telling us about them Capabilities?,Size?,stregnht alsoing whereing would you like us to be?" Aza sent the message to the large Astaters warship

on the inside of the vessel its hundreds of fighters began preparing for lift off already its compliment of 20 Rockrats had taken off and began scouring the system for anything.

suddenly cases of seisures and crewmembers in pain began appearing over the ship they subsided quickly but something was not right the ships doctors determined the cause to be phsic in nature

"track it don it possible" Ordered Aza
"Point of origin is the large ship over there" said a command drone indicating to the osiris
"open a channel to it"
"channel open ship leader"
"Alien ship you have been tainted" was all that was sent

"Lock all weapons on the ship NOW" order Aza the ships guns came to power glowing with mysterious green arcane energies.

Meanwhile, Naru simply sat there, completely uninvolved with the growing crowd of foreign warships.

The Osiris, Lowest Deck
Spinebreaker hefted his greatsword onto his shoulder, and pointed with his claw into the dimly lit corridors next to his warriors.
"Move out Bloodletters, we strike at the heart. Then you will get your blood." The Bloodletters shouted as loudly as they dared in fanatic worship to their god, and marched on, their greatswords hungering for blood.


Moments later they were aboard the Osiris the Shrouding hiding them from all forms of detection. Stepping forward Justicar Tigrus had to shrink down as he entered the corridor from a cargo bay. He called out to his squad, "Listros take point." Listros keenly eyed him and gave a brisk nod manuveuring around him. Slowly the squad began down the corridor to hunt down the Chaos threat.

OOC: Ah dont worry VT. What thewy don't know is that war fortresses have some 2 million troops aboard, there are only about 7 thousand people who are actuly classed as crew. Also the amount of internal sensors would mean the chaos forces would be instantly detected and set upon by 8000 attack drones (scaled down for interior use). Baisicly they be dead assoon as they got in there, some how.

IC: mariens instantly swarmed all entrance points to the lower deck, sealing it with the EPS forcefields and flooding it with poisenous gas. Instantly the ship was in emergancy lockdown and the 8000 attack drones activated, using thier multi phasic scanners to root out any intruders.

Using astartes battle-sign Tigrus ordered his men to take up defensive positions down the corridors. Their power armor had been sealed long ago against the environ and they watched as the crew tried fruitlessly to find them their psychic powers rendering them invisible to even the sight of a soldier. Tigrus signalled to his men as they came up on the position of the Bloodletters and ordered his men to take up defensive fighting positions with Listros to the fore.

Spinebreaker stopped, and held up his claw for the other Daemons to do the same. There was a sound of hissing, and the air seemed to be changing colour slightly. After a moment, Spinebreaker started to laugh, and then the others joined in one by one.
"These mortals have never heard of us before it apears. They never truly do before it's too late." He said, and turned around to carry on. Suddenly, he heard something, a clunk, like a boot hitting a surface, insanely quiet, but not quiet enough for a Daemon. He didn't turn around, he sensed the others had heard it too, and he kept walking. It apppeared the enemy had come. There were shouts up ahead, for the first time in a while, Spinebreaker was impressed by Mortal technology. Not that he cared, he lived in the Warp, and living in the warp for so many millenia really made all things in the mortal realm quite unamazing. The Daemons were in the middle of a pincer movement, but the "People" behind them could be used to their advantage.

OOC: my transphasic scanners can see into subspace, fek phycic wards lol. an btw, i dont have troops on the lower level, all the coridors are brightly light and there are some 800 attack drones around the corner from you (gods of the warp).
Belive me, chaos lord, phyker or what ever the total fire power of *mutters to self*(100x 8 =800x 4 =1,600) 1,600 repeting lasers say your skrewed ether way.

BTW, i know where your phykeres are, i have some too, you didn't think id leave 2,007,000 people that vulnerable did you. only problem for the drones is where 2 look.

IC: The 800 attack drones rounded the corner in a pincer movement, taking aim for a brief seconed and unleashing a continuos volly of laserfire at the chaos forces.

Near the stealthed troops, the 20 strong drone groupes searching the coridors were nearing the intruders.

OOC Read up on the Shrouding and you'll understand. Trust me fighting these guys is my Grey Knights' bread and butter.

Also how big are your corridors?

IC
Tigrus watched as the Bloodletters moved cautiously he did not care for the Xenos filth aboard the craft and as such held no special quarter for them. In battle-sign Tigrus ordered his men to steel themselves for the coming battle and began to chanted the Rites of Exorcism. Signaling with a swift chop Brother Listros filled the corridor full of holy flame. Shortly after a flurry of psycannon rounds punched through the flame and down the corridor, the trained fire of the Grey Knights surpassing any normal Space Marine. Holy fire licked at the daemons and psychic rounds pounded at them. The mere presence of an undefended Grey Knight was utterly anathema to a daemon but eight fully capable and well-defended Grey Knights were here fighting the Bloodletters chances of success were now severely lessened.

ooc: the lower coridors are quite thin but after you get top about the middle they dubble in size, oh the curses of having a sloping hull. can't really see there being any tactical value in the lowest deck thoe, its got like 5 coridors and a cargo bay, thats prety much it lol.

IC: The drone groupe looked up, detecting the incantations and fireing in thier general direction. Then the grey knights opened fire on the chaos force (am i right here, im a little confusled), alerting the drones to thier proximity to the origional intruders and they swarmed off,to engage them

Spinebreaker sweeped round in a roar the moment the flames billowed out of the mortal's weapon. Screaming in bloodlust, the Daemon charged as the Grey Knights pushed their bolter-carriers to the fore. Using his powerful hind legs, Spinebreaker leapt up into the air just as the hall filled with bolts. Sailing over his kin, he crashed into one of the Grey Knights, and screamed.
"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!"

The Daemons howled, and as one they all jumped up towards the Grey Knights. But rather than crash into them, they swung over them, and landed right behind the Knights themselves. Now the drones would have to go through the Knights to get to the Daemons.

As Spinebreaker landed on the Justicar knocking him to the ground the Justicar laughed, "Wow you are a cocky son of a bitch aren't you? Well I've got something to fix that." He wrestled with the daemon as he reached for something. The claws of the daemon raking divets into his armor as he pulled free a black obsidian rod. Grabbing the bloodletter by the throat with his free arm he and his men began to speak the Canticle of Absolution.

Praise the Emperor for his sacrifice,
as He endures so shall we.
We who are Hunters of Daemons,
shall strive in his name eternally.

As he spoke the words his armor glowed with the protective wards built into it to burn at the daemon's flesh. Listros pulled two vortex grenades free and tapped their buttons twice hurling them down either side of the corridor. Massive warp vortexes opened up acting as both a shield and a mighty destructive force.

Meanwhile Justicar Tigrus wrestled with the creature slamming the rod firmly against the daemon's midsection he squeezed unleashing punishing bolts of anti-psyker energy. His vox crackled as the words issued forth, "Even you can't stand up to this kind of attack. Good luck staying established in this realm with this in your gut. You fugging piece of shit." They continued chanting,

We the Order of the Hammer,
shall delve into the Dark Shadows.
We shall seek out the Tainted,
we shall pursue the Vilest Evil.

It is we who stand guard,
our Eternal Watch shall not fail.
For we are the Ordo Malleus!

We Grey Knights are the Hammers,
we slay the Darkness without fear.
Founded in great mystery we were,
Chapter six hundred and sixty six.

As the Knights continued to battle the bloodletters in their midst they felt a disturbance in the Warp approaching......

OOC: I need an update.....

OOC: Wrong account but a bit pressed for time. We are all gathered at your system, waiting to fight the rebels. Warp guy wants you to be weakened, so he sent some of his people to sabotage the biggest ship there, on the assumption that it is the strongest. He is inside and trying to wreak havoc, but has activated all kinds of defense systems, and Drath is in there, with his Grey Knights, to stop them. They got into a brawl. So basically, as the ships wait to fight, there is a fight inside the big ship.

ooc: yep pretty much sums it up, thoe we are waaaaaay off topic. just send in the rebles an then i can actuly fire my heavy guns:)

IC: the vortex bombs blew a hole in the side of the ship, the eps system deployed momenterily before it was shut down abgain, decompresing the lower deck.

One thousand rebels ships, ranging from super-destroyers to cruisers to corvettes, were approaching the Republic planet. The Astaterians prepared for their last stand with everything they had. All merchant ships were converted to shoot a weapon. At least the allied ships might help just a bit.

"Incoming tachyon burst. Looks like a fleet coming in. It must be the rebels that we were told about." came the urgent report from the sensors officer.

Begin preparations for combat. Launch fighters and signal general quarters. I want the atmosphere vented in five minutes, and make sure that the destroyers follow suit. Begin broadcasting Minovsky Particles as soon as the destroyers are informed." barked the captain.


Throughout the Naru, crewmen scrambled to their battlestations in their armored space suits. On the flightdecks, the ground crews worked quickly to get fighter after fighter armed and onto the catapults and off the deck. One by one the Shanderan fighters were launched into space packing 80 megaton anti-ship torpedoes. On another flight deck, mobile suits were armed and launched as well. The same process was taking place on the destroyers as well, though on a much smaller scale.

The first formations were buzzing around the Shanderan task force when the atmosphere began to vent. This was to prevent explosive decompression in the event of a hull breech and to discourage boarding by any suicidal enemies at the same time.

Meanwhile, the Shanderan ships began to spread Minovsky Particles, a type of electrically neutral particle that naturally formed a tight lattice known as an I-field. The I-field blocked most forms of electromagnetic radiation within the area of effect, completely disabling radio, radar, and just about anything that relied on something aside from visual light. While the Shanderans would also be affected by the disabling I-field, they were used to fighting in these conditions and suffered no handicap.

ooc : i be assuming the rebels have arrived?

"All fighters launch Rock rats transmit targeting data for the kinetic guns all weapons lock on a prepar to fire when we get to a closer range" ordered Aza the ship springing to action, all of its weapon ports opn revealing a very large quantity of weaponry quite missleading to its usually shapes fighters were launched from weel concealed bays and asssumed a escort position around the ship.

"Targeting data aqquired ship leader" a commanded drone interjected
"Open fire!" Orded Aza with what could be no doubt a smile on his face that is... if he could smile he was rewarded with the heavy tumping sounds of the ships heavy Kinetic guns firing at the rebel ships the projectiles speeding off towards the neaest ships the Lancer weaponry onboard glowed with a sickly green preparing too cut any ship that came to close to shreads and the fusion missles were bing loaded.

"ALl fighters launched Ship leader" said the hanaged command drone over the comms as the last fighter shot out
"Close all hanger bays seal the ship and activate the bio-feild" orded Aza
the out side of the ship glowed briefly green for a second before a very faint green feild appeared around the ship.

The Osiris began to turn, fireing a broadside volly from its 4 dual heavy guns on the port side. As it lined its super weapons at the closest reble ship it launched its first wave of (600) transphasic misiles and some 2,000 Venerable and Vintage fighters began thier aproach.

OOC: YAY pwnage time. just so you know, the super weapons are super heavy cannons. to give you an idea of thier fire power, one of my most advanced cruisers (the thunderchild class) can be destroyed with a single (well technicly dubble as they fire in pairs) blast.

OOC: sorry for arriving late

The Lynion Fleet came out of hyperspace as they entered the system. There was 10 Assault Carriers, 20 Cruisers, 10 Frigates, 15 Corvettes, 8 Transport cruisers and 2 Fighter Jet Carriers.


Astater System was in sight.

"This is the Lynion Guardian Fleet to any Astater Forces and allied ships in the area. We've just come out of hyperspace and will be coming to your side," briefed King Ranakin into the radio.

"Sir, incoming Rebel fighter jets," briefed an operator.

"Transport Cruisers are to land at Astater. Rest of the fleet, follow me and form up with the allied warships. Sky Commander Kennedy, take charge of fighter squadrons," ordered King Lanakan.

Port side of the Fighter Carrier

"Copy that cire," replied Kennedy. "Sky Marshall Jian, take the Dingo's and Hunter's Squadrons and bring up the guard. All Sonic Ace Fighter Jet's, follow me and prepare to engage Rebel fighters,"

Kennedy lead the Sonic Fighter Squadron into a dog fight above Astater. They sped past a squadron of Rebel Fighter Jets before suddenly turning a sharpe turn around. They engaged the squadron while the Hunter's and Dingo Squadron's formed up with the Allied Forces above Astater.

'The fight that will unite us even stronger,' Kennedy thought to himself.

ooc: i e thinking rebels have NO chance if people be usuing supermassive shippie :P well who knows maybe they have something new? or maybe ol'e chaos over there throws ships into the fight.

OOC: a thousand Rebel ships to around 500ish? we are gravely out numbered and they can really out smart us.

ooc: Not neceserily, think about it, i have 2 million troops for boarding an stuff, enugh weapons to besighe a planet on my hull alone and two uber weqapons
dunno bout the rest of you but im safe, unless GOTW godmods and miraculusly survives being hurtled into space thrugh a jagged hole in the side a ship and smashing into debris.

OOC: Ih8wannakillu, my cruiser can assault planets. It has enough guns, given about maybe half an hour, to turn a planet into mush. The top at least. So, size isn't everything, and I'm sure some of us here *cough*Bryn Shander*cough* can do more than I can. And just having a big cruiser does not mean you are safe. Astater said in one of his posts that they had the latest weapons, so we should respect him and at least be worried about this. Especially since some of us, like me, only have one ship. It's tough, but not invincible. As such, let's not be like LAWLZ WE PWNZORZ, but actually try to be worried. A thousand ships are a LOT of ships, and with only five hundred ish, with planets to protect, thats a lot to worry about.

Also, we have no where close to even one HUNDRED ships, my friend. I don't know where you got 500 friend. So yeah, we're kinda in a fight for our lives here.

IC:

"Ma'am, we have contact. An armada of ships heading for us." The Captain, who had been looking through her log, checking the latest news from Command, glanced up and pressed the key to shut down the pad. Standing up, she walked up to the railing and grasped it firmly, before gazing down at the officer who had spoken. Her eyes narrowed in their pre-battle tension. She was mentally preparing herself before she got herself ready to begin.

"Alright, Ensign, what is the situation?"

The officer let his hands fly over the keys as the information came rolling in, supplied by Samantha. "Well, ma'am, it's going to be a long haul. It would appear the enemy has over 1000 ships. We have...maybe less than fifty, maybe into the sixties if we get lucky. Shall I call for help, ma'am?" Jane pushed her weight down onto her arms as she thought quickly. A thousand ships? And the nation they were supporting had a paltry eight. One was a powerful ship, yes, but even that would go down even if a couple hundred focused fire on it. Yes, they were going to need reinforcements.

"Send the message to the Third Fleet at Hades; the gates to the Underworld are open."

The Ensign grimly smiled at those words. "Aye, ma'an." He turned and began to input the commands to send the message, but the captain knew they would have to hold on till the fleet arrived. The fleet would be able to move quickly, since they had gathered it before hand, in case of a situation like this. But it would take time even for their incredibly fast FTL-4 drives to get them here. So for now, they would have to hold the line. Jane smirked as she turned to face the A.I. Samantha, who had just appeared. Holding the line was something GDI did best.

"Samantha, have all railgun batteries deploy, all missile pods ready and waiting with their payloads, and the Ion Blasters better be nice and hot for our new friends."

The A.I. looked down and scuffed the floor shyly. "Ma'am...while you are calling for the fleet, I already prepared the weapons, the point defense system, and the shields. We are only waiting for the rebel ships to come within enough range for the first salvo to do any damage worth the effort."

Jane gazed at her, surprised, and then smiled. "Good job, Samantha. You'll be getting a good report to Command, if we survive all this." The A.I. blushed, as much as it could, and then nodded, vanishing. It now focused on the enemy and prepared the weapons for battle. With its vast Ion lancer point defense system, the GDI had no need for fighters; it had enough cover to protect from every angle. The GDI had researched the gains and losses of having no fighters, and the gains were higher, especially in human life.

Now, they only had to wait for the enemy to come to them and they would be ready, with energy and kinetic, determination and wit, to defend these people from the ravages of the rebellion.

"Sir, we're counting a thousand ships!"
"A single thousand? Then the odds are even." The admiral leaned forward and slammed his fist onto his arm rest. "Burn their mongrel hides!" The group of ships turned to face the rebel fleet, then opened fire with their side disruptors. Alone, the shots would do nothing but rapidly deplete shields. But then the Raven turned, presenting the front of it to the enemy. The four front spikes glowed green for a moment, before a concentrated beam of red energy shot* towards the group, sweeping between them.

*OOC: The beam is a thing called a Icarus phaser. Its run off this fictional crystal unique to Void Templar, and essentially when its atoms are cracked, instead of making a really big boom like nuclear bombs, the energy it produces is harmless until mixed with water, whereupon it takes the water particles and attaches the atoms of the crystal to it, so it forms a liquid, which can then go boom. However, when that is mixed with dusty plasma's, it becomes a superheated, viscous fluid which can be concentrated and fired, cutting through shields and most medium hulls like butter. Problem is, the amount of heat it takes to fire this cannon means its extremely dangerous to use and once used has an cooldown timer of 30 minutes, even though it can only be fired for 10 seconds at a time. The cooldown is overideable but only via the onboard OSADAI defense AI, and doing so usually results in a rather spectacular fireworks display. *wink wink nudge nudge hackers* Oh, and sorry for rambling. Damn, the OOC is longer than the IC!

The Grey Knights were different their power armor allowed them to stay aboard the ship. Even though the whole deck was decompressed the Grey Knights lived on. Justicar Tigrus spoke through the vox of their sealed suits, "Ready for immediate teleport out of here. Activate teleport homers. Wherever those daemon bastards went to they may well still be alive. We must continue searching for them in the system."

Examining his armor he saw the may divets and battle scars on it's once pristine surface. Picking up his halberd he readied for the teleport out of the suddenly very hostile ship. Looking around he tried to see signs of the daemons all he knew was that no exposure to the void would kill a bloodletter. It was the nature of the Enemy. Moments later they were aboard the Strike Cruiser Hunter and beginning their scans anew for the Great Enemy.

ooc: good point, huge ships dont mean everything, still they DO pwn :D

IC: The super cannons fired in rapid sucesion, sending two bursts of pure blue energy at the closest reble vessle. The fighters began to swarm towards a section of the reble fleet, clearing a path for 300 sarush bombers.

The turbolasers and turbo-ion cannons aboard the Osiris opened fire momenterily after the super cannons, unleashing a volly of blue and orange energy.

OOC2: Void templar should know aboaut what i called project arcturas. baisicly the super cannons are refined versions of that (no it isn't the same as the SGA project arcturas, not entirely atleast).

Also, just a quick update, my turbo lasers are useualy blue or green but iv begun upgradeing them, they are now sub-magna cannons.

ooc: to tell everyone Comms are offline for everyone who uses normal comms so is radar and tracking systems THANKS TO THE PERSON WHO DEPLOYED THAT FEILD !?!?!?!?! he left us all with no ability to track. barr me i have ways around it,hehehehh and i communicate via a hive mind so yhea... you guys have no COmms calling for help cannot be done tracking cannot be done.

IC:
"Sir one of the ships has deployed a feild of somesort tracking systems offline radar barly functional Shipleader" reported a command ddrone

"is the pulse ready?" asked Aza worridly
"Yes ship leader it is"
"Deploy it and get a drone up here with signifigant experiance in the Hivemind we can target with that have one of our fighters go to the ship who shot the pulse and try to get them tp remove it" pausing he continued " otherwise we have to retreat."

at the rear of the kewen ship a lage green spear began to take shape and green balls of light forming at the two tips
"Engage the pulse" aza ordered
the green light discharge with a flash disipating into harmless radiation while it spread across the system

OOC: Hey, kid. Ya know, I have been around for some time. I know what the bloody I-field is. I have ways around it, I have sensors and comms that AREN'T AFFECTED BY IT. I asked BS about it BEFORE I POSTED. So yeah, I have ways to do both.

Next time, don't assume things about my nation. It's irritating.

Twenty thousand fighters came out of the rebel ships and approached the allied fleets. One hundred rebel ships were destroyed. The rest of the rebel ships fired their anti-matter missiles then they fired their few Superlasers

OOC: I have star wars weaponry.

The Naru's hundred and forty four fighters and seventy two mobile suits were clearly outnumbered. Unlike the rebels, however, their pilots were perfectly adapt at flying without the sensors that the I-field disabled. They dodged and weaved through the enemy formation with expert precision and skill, showing fantastic teamwork to bag enemy after enemy.

Naru's point defense guns filled the sky with flak, as did the PD guns of her destroyers. The main guns of the Shanderan battlegroup all targeted the largest ship in the rebel fleet and fired several times. The Shanderan cruiser was designed to go toe to toe with the best battleships that anyone could put forth, and this battle was exactly why.

ooc: i wasnt assuming anything just these things : 1. why did you deploy the I-feild you could of left me or someone defense less and i would of have to had retreated 2. i didnt assume you couldnt get past it just saying i doubt everyone here who RP'd can just negate the effects but i dunno you could ?

IC:

With the pulse spreading a means of targeting and radar were established again the Kinetic guns began firing again followed by thw wissh of the Fusion torpedos the lancers releasing the deadly green charge as the Rebel ships near...on the other hand the kewen fighters did not fare to well the rockrats got caught in crisscrosing fire and were annialated while the Angel interceptors were told to stay out of the main fighter bash and fire missles into it and pick of any stragglers

OOC: Because I can fight with the I-field up and the enemy probably cannot. The rest of the 'coalition' is irrelevant.

ooc: still that leaves US vulnerable thats if we couldnt get past that..... which most nations would find problematic or in worst case scenario reason for war alos that leaves you heavily out numbered 1000 to your number of ship...

OOC: 1000 blind enemies against 5 ships that aren't is much better odds than 1000 enemies that can see against 50 allies that can see.

Also, you're missing the point that my captain doesn't give a flying fuck about the survival of any of the ships that aren't under his command.

The Lynion's sent out a signal but realise something was blocking them for the moment.

"This is the Lynion Guardian Fleet. We're here to help you," said King Lanakan over the radio.

The Lynion Fleet formed up alongside the Allied Forces and awaited for the Rebels to come slightly closer.

ooc: I am so lost. So there is some sort of dampening filed that renders every thing in the area blind? exept a few ships? why would somene bother to deploy that when they have so many ships to crush an enimy with?

Belive me numbers would masacer us even if we were the most advanced race in existance. because of the I field (which iv never encountered) youv lost the huge bulwark of my weaponry, be wary of stray shots cause i now cant see the enimy (thank god for black hulls, they shouldn't be able to see me:P), supose ill start boarding procediures thoe, send in a couple of Huthrivurs and deploy a few thousand troops on the ship to shut the I field down :P

IC: "Sir our sensors are being jammed, I cant get a lock on anything!"
"Cease fire, try to find away around it, shut all power to the shileds untill you suceed." All fire from the Osiris stoped, its shields flashing as a few stray shots hit them and power was shunted into them.

"Launch the first Huthrivur wave, try to find the source of the dampening field with subspace probes"

OOC2: ill need someone to tell me if subspace probes would work cause, like iv said, i havent encountered an I field before.

"Sir, it seems we are not the only ones who were affected by the mysterious signal the large ship has stopped all firing"
"hmmm have we found the soure?"
"Yes Ship Leader its this one" a command drone said pointing to the naru
"send a Message through the hive to any thing that can recvie tell them that the ship we are lighting up is blocking all signals that are radio."

one of the angel interceptors broke of from the fight and flew at the Naru impacting on its sheilds erupting into a large green blast

The huthrivur transports (http://www.ghull.com/art/reloaded/reloaded_09.php)launched moments before the Naru was light up and, feeling it was proboly a good place to start boarding operations, began to speed towards it, trying to be as inconspicus as posable.

The mortals are pushing Spinebreaker back from the ship master, and the rebels are assaulting the enemy.

Good.Although the rebels are not making it easy for us, they charge into the enemy like fools, what can they expect to acomplish but a quick death? These mortals intrigue me, but their lives are insanely short, theres no point in teaching them anything. Fatecarver laughed. I forsee the Astartes becoming a large problem, the rebels are a secondary priority for now. Send in Y'rlith'sogothfullC'thulikmu'l'osoth. The second phase begins.

Loregiver watched the Grey Knight's ship, as it floated in space. He dared not go near it, as he could feel the wards built inside the cruiser. He was not as foolish as Spinebreaker, running into the mortals face-on. The Ordo Mallleus was designed to kill his type of Daemon; fools who were careless, let themselves be found out. Khornate warriors disgusted Loregiver, they had no style, they had no real skill. The Grey Knights would be teleporting back any moment now, just as Fatecarver intended. After a moment or two, Loregiver sensed the teleportation device being activated, and as the mortals were transported through space to their cruiser, Loregiver joined them.

Loregiver left the teleporting mortals, and found he had dropped himself off inside a small generator room. Smiling as well as a Daemon could, Loregiver waited in the shadows.

"We've been hit!" announced one of the crewmen on the bridge as the ship was slightly jarred by the impact.

"The rebels?" asked the captain, surprised that they would be able to hit blind at this range.

"No, sir. We were just kamikaze'd by one of the 'friendly' fighters. The shields absorbed the impact completely." came the reply.

"We have another incoming bogy on an attack vector. This one is coming from the oversized sack of shit."

"Take it out and instruct the destroyers to break off attacks on the rebel fleet. Tell them to focus on taking out incoming strike craft instead. I don't want another foreign fighter, torpedo boat, or shuttle coming within twenty kilometers of this ship."


The Naru's #3 turret rotated to meet the Huthrivur and tracked the transport for a second or so before firing its mega particle cannons. The golden beam shot through space, and would surely lance the target like a plasma torch through butter. At the same time, Naru's signal lamps began flashing brightly.

OOC: I did fire weapons, from my ship and no one is damaged?

ooc: ...... give us time we will do it also Astater are you going to RP your ships? on our side?

also you are tracking a small shuttle with large guns and no radar somehow i find that difficult even if you are used to it so i say the shuttles live fyi >.> <.<

IC:

"Ship leader we have a confirmed lock on the enemy lancers firing!"
said a command drone as beams of bright green energy arced towards the rebel fleet catching a fighter along the way

Aza was flung from his chair as the ship was struck bio-feilds dropping to95% "pulse batteries open up" ordered Aza as small turrets around the hull whirled to life spitting out green bolts of death at anything that approched

"Ship leader we are going to have to pull out if we are going to continually be blinded we cannot risk it"
"Target the ship deploying the feild"
"SHIP LEADER, the ship and its escorts have stopped shooting at the enemy they are desotrying our fighters and things near them"
"thats it move the ship out of here retreat move to the edge of the system hopefully the effect will be deaded"

The KSS pride began slowly edgeing away from the battle still firing at the rebels with its Kinetic guns and Fusion missles its Lancer turrets swiling to get a lock on the large ship

ooc: im sorry but if the I-feild stays i go, well i am going but i will stay for a bit longer i am not willing to lose a vessel thanks to some overcompenent selfish asshole....... who blinded just about everyone sorry Astater but things are not looking good for you... if i were you i'd think about how your nation will be if rebels are in charge and if your defense fails blame Bryn.

The Knights had decided to take some time to complete their rituals while the adepts searched for the Great Enemy. Justicar Tigrus was walking the ship in deep thought and prayer. Things weren't adding up here the prophecy spoke of a greater daemon rising here with a great daemon army. It was an odd sight to the crew of the ship seeing the Justicar walking the lower decks in deep thought. He was stripped to the waist in fatigues, multiple tattoos depicting anti-daemonic wards were spread across his upper torso. Hanging on his belt was a bolt pistol and a combat knife. Walking almost mindlessly he found himself in the engine room the constant hum of the plasma reactor and the whoosh sound of other machinery at work made an interesting cacophony. Lost in the sight of the deep blue glow coming from the plasma reactor he thought on the myriad of things that were occuring around him.

Thinking mortal? Asked Loregiver as the Grey Knigt walked into the room. Having second-thoughts about your faith?

Tigrus looked around as he heard the daemonic voice enter his head. Immediately he drew his bolt pistol and held his combat knife at the ready. As the daemon spoke he strengthened his psychic shield replying, Where are you foul daemon? Show yourself!

OOC: Alright, Kewen. Don't go blaming BS because something turned against you. One, he is rping as his nation would by being in character. It's as simple as that; this is standard procedure for them. Also, think outside the box, the I-field only hampers EM stuff, radio, heat, etc (hint hint). Also, don't go blaming him if the battle goes ill. It isn't his fault that you can't handle an rp when things go against you. Instead of raising hell about it, just rp through it.

Also, ih8, yes that works. Case in point here, Kewen, he found a way around, you can too. And attacking allies is not going to make this battle go any better, FYI.


IC:

"Ma'am, we have incoming. They're within range now."

"Allied forces have opened fire, Captain. They will be impacting in three...two...one..." They watched as a series of bright explosions flared all across space, but the fireworks weren't over. Even as the cloud of fighters emptied from the allied ships, the enemy fighters came crashing in like a howling blizzard. The response from the allied fighters and their PD systems filled space like a fireworks display. But the enemy kept on pushing them, unloading a mass of torpedoes and firing several large laser beams at them. Jane stood up, gazing suspiciously at the beams and torpedoes.

"Get me readings on those weapons." The A.I. popped up and waved a hand, showing the data.

"It would appear that they are launching anti-matter torpedoes and firing superlasers similar to those of the Deathstar, although much weaker since they do not have the power supplied by a battle station like the Death Star."

Jane nodded. "Very well, then keep an eye on that, and dodge when able. Unlock all forward torpedo tubes and open up with a salvo of missiles and torpedoes. Follow that with the railgun batteries and keep alternating until they come within range our of Ion Blasters. Then, open up."

"Aye, ma'am." The Heavy Cruiser shifted slightly to get into position and proceeded to send a cloud of missiles and torpedoes at the enemy. Both carried a special weapon inside; the missiles had liquid Tiberium cores, so as to provide a bigger explosion for their buck, and the torpedoes held antimatter and dense matter, allowing them to do a lot of damage when they came together. This was followed up by a salvo of railgun shells that were going high fractions of .c, and you had a lot of pain ready to do some damage. They aimed for the ships that fired the superlasers, to remove that threat from the battle. Any fighters which came into range would find it near impossible to not die, much more attack the ship, since they had a mix of Ion Lancer beam weapons, which scoured the space around them in sweeping arcs to consume the fighters, and it had small rocket pods, which unloaded tiny, tracking missiles which added to the pain felt by fighters. The GDI were a fortress in space and it was showing.

The shots from the rebels rippled across the groups shields.
"Damage?"
"All ships shields down to 90%, no hull damage."
"Good, now we can return fi-" "Sir!"
"What?"
"Some of the allies have opened up on each other!"
The admiral sighed, rested his chin on his hand and muttered, "Let me guess... Dragonans?"

ooc: ..... if the battle fails it IS his fault he blinded some of us so we found away around it what if we didnt? >.> <.< thats what i am mainly pissed about even though this is standard proceedures shouldnt having a bunch of aliens around defending a planet from over 1000 ships nessistate a change?

IC:
The Pride stood at the edge of the allied fleet still firing at the oncoming rebels
the Pride was rocked by more fire from the rebels its sheilds dropping to 60% from the latest volley

"Everything within twenty kilometers has been sanitized, Sir." reported one of the men on the bridge as the four destroyers fragged anything that wasn't Shanderan. It wasn't too difficult at this point, since the compact size of Naru and her escorts made them much less of targets than the oversized and underpowered warships of the other, more primitive spacefaring civilizations that had also shown up.

With the destroyers on picket duty, Naru herself was free for more offensive work. Her twenty guns all swung to port and began firing on individual rebel ships in unison. Anything smaller than a battleship surely would have a hard time withstanding more than two salvos from the cruiser's full broadside. The Naru's point defense guns also began to work offensively; each of the twenty four twin mounts on the port side switched ammunition to the heavier 15kt atomic shells and began to create a near solid wall of nuclear fire within the heart of the enemy fleet. Each of the forty eight 120mm guns on the port side fired at 180 rounds per minute, giving the atomic broadside a weight of almost nine thousand shells and covering an area of almost two hundred thousand kilometers with fire.


OOC: If your ships suck to the point where they're rendered completely useless under the effects of an I-field, you'd have been useless even without it in place.

Oh, I forgot to mention one other fun part about the I-field. The Minovsky particle also interferes with the operations of electronic circuitry and destroys unprotected circuits due to the particles' high electrical charge which act like a continuous electromagnetic pulse on metal objects.

"Order the warships to leave 20 kilometres from this zone. Keep ourselves cloak at this time," ordered King Lanakan.

Ranakin gazed around at the warships as they started to get away from the I Field.

The Astaterian massive warship jumped into the rebel fleet and opened up its 70,000 blasters at the nearest rebel ships. Astaterian fighters numbered only 5,000, but they did the best they could against 20,000 rebel fighters. 1000 rebel ships were damaged and destroyed as the rebel battleships hit the flanks of the allied fleets.
