Space E-war

[Anaclagon]

"Identify yourselves, speak quicken or else you will be fired upon" A voice responded to GEA lead ship. The Acclamator class cruiser knew it was outnumbered and even the commanding officer of the vessel knew this was not a good situation. The cruiser was on its way towards Manaan, trying to provide valuable reinforcements on the ground. The cruiser boasted heavy weaponry but right now, they had to try to keep things civil at the moment..

"We're taking heavy assaults in sector 7!" One of the crew responded. The commanding officer walked over, watching live viewing. Hundreds, if not thousands of Vong Soldiers marched up, seeking to take an Imperial fortress by sheer numbers. Soldiers on the walls and turrets rained weaponry not at the enemy but this was not enough as the fortress took heavy damage.

"This just in! Another Vong Fleet! Destination unknown!"
"Notify the other Imperial Fleets and have them prepare for immediate attack at once. And damn it, send another request to Courscant, where is the 501st!" The commanding officer demanded. The battle's intensity had only increased..

[Doc 42]

The operator, already reviewing data coming in from the unmanned recon drones, replied shortly "Roger. Please hold."
"Check, please verify craft numbers and classes." He filtered through the data being fed to him and transmitted the crucial parts back to the Koultian Contact division, who had the authority to actually make descisions on what to do about the alien fleet.


A few of Eden-4's deck guns opened fire, point defence lasers and flak cannons firing desperately at the oncoming torpedo. The missile ploughed right through the gunfire as if it were rain, and streaked towards the ship. At the last moment, Eden finally caved, drawing all power into it's nano and effector shields, forming a wall of red between itself and the missile. The blast was devestating. The missile intially penetrated the shield, but was detonated by the nano bots within it, regardless, the explosion tore into the side of the ship, throwing it off course, down towards the planet. It's engines pulsed, and then died, whimpering out. The ship, so soon after a jump and under so much stress, had used it's last reserves of energy to block the attack, and was now helpless to save itself from the planet's hungry gravity. It still orbited around the planet, but it was only a matter of time before it crashed into the atmosphere and plunged into the watery depths below.

The voice soon returned, slightly more impatient this time: "Six ships. One Assault Carrier-class, one Battleship-class, two Battlecruiser-class, and two Corvette-class." The Covenant Fleet Master involved with the operation doubted that anything he had just said would have any relevance, but he wasn't about to freely give away the stats of all his ships...

[TyrannoTitan]

A reply was sent from Courscant, in response to the calls for aid: "All ship squadrons are currently occupied. Please download this chart of all last-reported fleet locations. Contact your nearest allies for support."

The Tyranid forces suddenly split, the Hive Tyrant taking a small band of creatures with it in a seperate tunnel, while the majority of the Tyranid forces, now severely lacking in gaunts, spearheaded an attack deeper in the hive. This larger force would draw the natives toward them, while the Hive Tyrant and its elite band would move deeper into the hive, to neutralize its leadership...

[Anaclagon]

"Officer stand down!" The commanding officer stated from the 422nd. "Courscant isnt ours anymore do not open anything from them, that is a direct order!" The officer continued.

"What! No way, what of the 501st and the rest of the Home Fleet?" The captain responded in complete confusion.

"They've been re-disputed throughout the Empire. The outer rim was the last to know of the Sacking of Courscant but Command had something in mind. This order is from Revan himself. End all communications with them and leave that to the higher ups. The 501st will arrive with Revan soon enough but as for now, focus on holding Manaan until they do, dont worry about Courscant." The commanding officer from the 422nd responded.
The puzzled Captain at the base did as he was told...the thought of losing their home planet just seemed impossible. As the captain trailed in thought a massive blast slammed into the shield that protected the massive land fortress, finally snapping the captain back into reality.

"Alright sir, your up" The commander of the 422nd stated, giving his report to Grand Admiral Thrawn who nodded. A message was beamed back to Courcant. "Who is this..." The Grand Admiral questioned..

[dinoman666]

A tiny, mosquito-like Recon Bug followed the smaller contingent of Tyranids, staying at a safe distance, and sending out telepathic messages to the brain Bugs deeper in the hive...

Soon enough, another small counterattack was made on the larger Tyranid force, several dozen Arachnid Warriors charging their foes from both ends of the tunnel...

[SniperSaurus]

This world was dying. Banatra new it. The plants had stopped flowering, and there where almost no animals left. "All we have left now is char." he said as he turned to face the massive overlord Yag'drissl. By the vibrations Yag'drissl was giving him, he new the titanic Overlord agreed. "Alright," he clicked to the other Bane'Lesh, "lets load up and get moveing, I'm hungry!" The other Bane'lesh chittered and clicked happily, as they climbed into the Overlords ventral sacs to leave this dying world.

[UndeadRaptor]

The captain soon replied through the intercom, saying, "G.E.A armed supply fleet. Fleet designation number 887293-084, supplies needed for G.E.A forces fighting somewhere near this area. Please stand by, as we are sending soldiers and supplies down to help them. Some type of creatures called the Vong down there." Soon, thousands of landing boats came out of the holding bays of the ships, while hundreds of soldiers erupted from cover, firing upon the Vong forces below the mountain they hid upon. A remaining tank among the army fired a napalm canister into the army on the ground, incinerating a small number of them.

[TyrannoTitan]

"Your better." another message read...

The Recon Bug's messages were disrupted by the Hive Mind's will, which emanated powerfully from the Hive Tyrant as well as the synapse creatures around it. The Recon Bug too small to be detected, the Tyranids continued on through the tunnel, the Mawloc ahead of them waiting to breach the final layer.

A barrage of devourer fire connected with the first wave of warriors, blowing apart limbs and other body parts. Barbed stranglers were fired over the warriors, turning the charging arachnids into a frenzied mess of limbs, tangled in the projectiles...

[SniperSaurus]

Banatra sat in the largest ventral sac, prepareing his drop cacoon.

"Yag'drissl," he chittered "The very next planet you find with life, send us down, or we may need to retreat to Char and resupply."

The massive Overlord replied with a short, yet high-pitched click, "Very well, but you best get sleeping, I've already found one."

"Perfect," Thought Banantra as he nestled down in his cacoon and closed the protective shell.

[dinoman666]

As the Arachnids crashed into the wall of fire, the ground beneath the Tyranids opened up, TIger Bugs spilling out into the midst of the beasts, their mandibles and claws tearing through the Tyranids viciously...

The Recon Bug decided to resort to a more primitive method of communication: pheromones. The Tyranids may pick up the slight scent, but it was just as likely they wouldn't, and even if they did, there was no way to stop it, and it would be difficult to track it to such a small target...

[SniperSaurus]

Banatra was awoken by Yag'drissl's voice

"Bane'Lesh, wake up you fools, everyone of you, now!"

Banatra was suddenly stricken with fear, Yag'drissl had to have a bad reason for wakeing him and his hivemates.

The overlord spoke again "Im going to drop you on the browner arae on this jungle world, Ive been hit on the left flank, it feels like a metal rod exploded into my side, I think one of the ventral sacs collapsed, luckily no one was in there, but I will not make it to another planet, im dying."

Banatra couldnt belive what he hear, but he couldnt argue with Yag'drissl, he was still in his cacoon. He knew what would come next. Yag'drissl would deploy him and his hivemates from orbit, this would not be a fun trip, however they would survive. Well most of them would, the cacoons where almost impenitrable, all you had to do was keep your cacoon from flipping upside down, exposeing the weaker side, wich was eaiser said then done.

"Banatra," Chittered Yag'drissl for the last time, "I've contacted char and told them you need a recovery, I'm trusting you with all these younglings, good luck, and dont let them all die."

And with that, Yag'drissl's vemntral sacs filled with pressure building gasses. After a few moments, he released the sacs, sending the cocoons hurtling towards the planet as he drifted of into space to die.

[Doc 42]

The Koult operator replied "Roger, please hold position. We would like to request an envoy to be sent to the moon kaka-10, co-ordinates to follow. We can discuss your requests there."

Eden-4 frantically calculated it's trajectory through the planet, firing missile like probes down into the atmosphere to test its composition as well as launching several sattelites, to cover it from the sky after the inevitible crash.

[dinoman666]

"Very well," Fleet Master Luro 'Taralumee replied. Soon enough, when the task force had gotten closer to Kaka-10, the Assault Carrier released a single Phantom Dropship from its cavernous hangar bay, which headed towards the Koult outpost...

[Anaclagon]

"Interesting choice of words... how's Courscant?" Grand Admiral Thrawn responded with curiosity, hoping the voice would continue its communications.

Suddenly out of nowhere a massive swarm of Vong starcraft known as Yorik-Et. Upon closing in, the swarm of ships unleashed their devastating weapons.. firing searing magma rocks into the GEA warships, pounding them with the devastating weaponry. The Imperial warship struggled to evade, firing its anti aircraft weaponry while trying to maneuver into the planet below, trying to drop off the reinforcements. The Vong continued to pound at the Imperial forces and the newly arrived GEA units..Manaan was in serious damage.

[TyrannoTitan]

"Gone." another message was sent before the sender severed the connection, its trap having failed.

Warriors armed with rending claws were the first to meet the arachnids in the midst them, the patrolling Raveners having sensed the incoming attack soon enough to move the more vulnerable Tyranids out of the way. A mawloc, appearing out of the holes made by the Tiger Bugs, crushed one with a bladed limb before snatching another in its jaws, diving back into the ground with the struggling arachnid. The barbed stranglers continue to fire, creating a wall of arachnids, alive and dead, around them...

[SniperSaurus]

Banatra's cacoon hit the ground, throwing him around inside. He quickly broke the top open, but to his dismay, he had gone about ten feet down in the mud.

"Great, now what?" He muttered to himself as he felt the shock go through the ground as his swarmlings landed.

[dinoman666]

Dozens of Tiger Bugs continued to emerge in the center of the Tyranid formation, proving to be more than a match for any single Warrior. The Warriors' charge began to slacken, but the Tiger Bug swarm didn't seem to let up...

[TyrannoTitan]

The already weakened ground near where the Tiger Bugs were emerging from soon gave way into a large tunnel, exposing the passage the Tiger Bugs were using. The collapsing ground took some Tiger Bugs with it, causing them to fall back down the straight shaft, while the Warriors fighting began to push their opponents down. Shifting formation, ranged Tyranids began to fire down the hole, killing and dismembering approaching Tiger Bugs as they tried to emerge. Inside, the Mawloc continually shot out of the sides of the shaft, crushing and consuming Tiger Bugs climbing its walls...

[dinoman666]

The Tiger Bugs scattered as they took enemy fire, retreating back into the tunnel system. One brave individual, however, landed on the Mawloc as it emerged, clamping its powerful mandibles around the Tyranid's head...
