Space E-war

[dinoman666]

A new batch of spore pods appeared from space around Kepe's Cruiser. Many were vaporized by the ship's shields, but even more simply passed by it. They were coming directly from Klendathu, and spreading the Arachnid infestation even further after they lost contact with the Brain Bug of the jungle planet they had recently taken over. This time, there would be no holding back. The Arachnids would spread across space, hit every planet they could, and kill anything that tried to stop them...

[Anaclagon]

The fleet jumped back out of hyperspace...they wanted to check on the damage. There meeting previously was to dicuss on how to deal with their current situation...they wanted to make sure that nothing was capable of living on the planet.

Revan watched from the main bridge of the Annihilator...the probes there did confirm life. There was discussion to what to deal with them but Revan ordered the simple thing..

After several moments of charging, the main middle Super Laser was unleashed, the super laser slamming into the temple, olblierating the temple and all inside along with decimating the continent entirely.

Deeming the deed done, The Dark Lord of the Sith kept his arms folded...the planet surface was pretty much destroyed, life there was all prehaps gone. However more contacts came back in...probes already on the galaxy had sighted reports of some creature had been attempting to spread across the galaxy...The hundreds of space stations along with the thousands of ships made the area filled with defense..Revan now had to make a move.

[Iceking]

on k-25, the human within the xeno nest woke up, not remembering that he had been impregnated by the facehugger, which now lay dead not far from the chamber. Uknown to him, the xeno embryo inside him was starting to grown. In one hour, the creature would soon emerge from his chest, but he wasn't aware of that.

[dinoman666]

The spores quickly spread across the vacuum of space, all heading in one direction. They would eventually come across a populated planet and completely take it over. The thousands of deadly missiles rocketed along, heading straight for Revan's fleet. Even if they were prepared to fight, they wouldn't be prepared for an invasion of this magnitude.

[Iceking]

The humans on k-25 were both travelers and those form the military. The military personal were here to ensure that travelers were safe as well as keep a stronghold on this planet. They knew of the xenos that lived on the planet, but the creatures hadn't made any recent attacks that they knew of.

[Anaclagon]

"We...really have to get allies..." The Grand Admiral replied as he looked towards missles.

"Take them down...pull back towards the space stations...I have a feeling that were looking towards an invasion that will require every ship avalaible in this system" Revan replied as the Grand Admiral nodded as the fleet then opened fire towards the missles as they began to plot the coordinates for their next jump back towards the main space stations.

"And Admiral...send a message to Harper, double time on the Super Star Destroyer...Brawl" Revan replied as the main head space station recieved the message as the Imperial Fleet fired towards the rockets in defense using its point laser cannons and turbo laser cannons

[dinoman666]

Hundreds of the pods were vaporized instantly, but plenty made it past the optimal range for the space stations and ships. Many were destroyed upon hitting the ships, but the ones that hit the space stations simply plugged themselves into the stations' hulls, releasing their deadly cargo within. The disgorged Warriors immediately attacked any soldier in sight, pulling them down and ripping them apart viciously. More of the pods, especially those containing Hoppers, Tankers, or other specialized Arachnids, went on past, heading for better feeding grounds for such creatures.

[Iceking]

The xeno queen on k-25 had layed another ten eggs that would help expand her hive once hosts were found. however, two of the new eggs had praetorian facehuggers inside them to ensure that the queen would have a daughter to carry on ruling the hive. They had met no other native creature which could match them in numbers or strength, making them the dominant native carnivores on the planet.

[Anaclagon]

The 501st Armada moved in better poistion as every Ship found itself aimed towards the pods as they openeded fire, Turbo Laser batteries, point laser cannons, ion cannons, assualt concussion missles along with the thousands of fighters that were being scrambled. The Annihilator unleashed its payload, withdrawing power from the engines as its combat efficently soared higher, its turbo laser batteries and ion cannons firing more rapidly and doing more damage as its began to wipe out numerous by itself.

The Reaper moved in poistion and began to unleash its massive payload, despite being a "regular" Executor Class Star Destroyer. Any space stations infected fought back using ray shields that blocked off certain corriders or defenses that often included automated turrents dropped them to help combat..

As for the massive planet under the hundreds of space stations as the thousands of fighters and ships battled...there still was Hyperbelocity Guns that fired from the planet surface..

[dinoman666]

Despite these heavy defenses, the pods were simply too small to target effectively once they dispersed, even those holding the larger Arachnids. Though the swarm had been thinned, it was only to be expected, which is why so many had been deployed: there were still plenty to take over the planet. It wasn't long before the swarm had gotten through and hit the planet's surface. The Arachnid spores unleashed their contents, and the vicious creatures spread like a plague.

In the space stations, most of the Arachnids stood little chance, but they were still putting up quite a fight. Many of the crew fell by the mandibles of the Warriors, which were then subsequently cut down by turrets or vaporized by shields.

[Anaclagon]

The AT-AT, the tanks and all other sorts of machines unleashed their massive anti ground payload as their thick armor held as they fired towards the swarm. TIE Fighters and TIE Bombers unleashed their payload as well from the sky...they began to hold their ground as the Troopers took defensive poistions, supported by turrets and AT-AT's and tanks and such unleashed their blasters firing all they could..

Using Gurellia style tactics, certain parts of the space stations where abandoned and then after some time they moved back laying down firing before shutting of the tunnel using ray shields and convering it with defense turrets. Crews that made it out stayed with the troops...the fleet had to take accurate shots to prevent hitting themselves but the Reaper and the Annihilator had no problem at all using their massive ammount of weaponry to attack..

[Legendary Elite]

Kepe had already arrived back with the main Sangheilian fleet. He and the Minor had lived through a hardship and now were in the brig of the Cruiser they were rescued from. Kepe was there and waiting at a table with the Ship Master who was in command of the ship. The Imperial Admiral had wished to talk with the General and so had asked for a meeting. Sure enough, in the middle of the table came a large hologram of the Admiral, Zark'Cotom himself who's appearance was in blue with data surrounding him as it was a hologram. Zark was looking directly at Kepe with his arms folded. Kepe however was not impressed.
"General." Said Zark.
"Admiral, I take it you received my report?" He asked.
"I did."
Now Kepe's voice was growing with irritation.
"Admiral, I truly must ask, what the hell were you thinking of sending me to that forsaken place? Hell, were you even aware by the slightest that that Forerunner structure happened to be a containment facility? Really, what made you think of sending me to that place?"
"General, may I remind you what I told you earlier the reason behind going on this mission?"
"Sending me there to regain my leadership but instead turned out to be a sucidal mission for the diehard! Do you even have any idea what happened down there??? Me and my squad was not just chased by the parasite but also a number of other lifeforms I doubt the Sangheili have ever seen before! Aside from the Imperials who we avoided fighting, these other creatures were just as chaotic as the Flood. First my squad was mainly consumed by the Flood but then came these creatures, these lizardlike monsters and then these insectoids came and masacared my entire group almost. If Ship Master Gera'Quaram had not had his Cruiser in orbit, I would've been a food source for practically everything out there except the humans. Think of if I had not returned!"
The Admiral kept his calm posture and tone however.
"Indeed the Flood was unexpected but we never would've known about these other species otherwise. General, you..."
Suddenly the Admiral's hologram began to flicker.
"Curse you lousy holopanel, I'm sorry Kepe but I must leave you until I can have some Engineers repair this. You are free to go."
Kepe sighed before nodding.
"...Farewell then Admiral..." Said Kepe.
The Admiral's hologram then flickered and disappeared. Gera then spoke up.
"Sir, I know this may be a bad time but on your way back in the Phantom we sent to evacuate you and your subordinate with you, I recieved a message from the High Council. They say for me to pass the message onto you alone and no one else. They say they wish to meet you on Selone."
Kepe suddenly interested looked at the Ship Master.
"What did they say?"
"Simply that they requested your presence as soon as possible. I think they must be very interested to hear from you."
Kepe was dumbstruck almost, though back on High Charity before the uprising, the Generals were the only ones able to report to the Council, Kepe had not been a General, only an Ultra. Still, this was interesting news. Kepe nodded.
"Thank you Ship Master, I will see to this matter immediately."
"Of course General."
Kepe then got up with the Minor and the two of them walked out of the brig. Kepe could only wonder what might the Council want with him...

[dinoman666]

Suddenly, the seemingly mindless attack changed. Arachnids began sneak attacks, Tankers coming from underneath walkers and using their huge bulk to topple them, then fry the armor until it fused into one piece. Hoppers came from behind TIE starships and latched onto the exposed, fragile wings. They slashed through the thin solar panels, exposing vital circuitry and effectively sabotaging them until they fell from the sky to explode as they hit the earth below. Plasma Bug attacks were becoming more accurate, and the sudden barrage from below took out many cruisers and even crippled a few space stations.

[Anaclagon]

"Acclamtor and Tartarns are going down in numberous...sir permission to lead a battle group of Broad Side cruisers and secure the planet surface" A captain replied.

"Permission granted, move at once" Revan commanded as several Broad Side cruisers headed for the surface...their only armanet was missles but they were loaded with them. Proton Torpedos and assualt concussion missles that can punch holes easily through hulls and shields were being armed as the Space Part of the battle seemingly was abotu won.

The Annihilator and The Reaper along with the Brawl whose weapon capablilites were now activated were unleashed, they just needed a commanding officer but they still had weapons as they aided..

As for the ground war...TIE Bombers and Fighters attacked the plasma bugs while anti air turrets played supported the fighters as gunships moved in as a defense taking both air and ground assualts as Imperial Machines and troopers focused on tankers and warriors..

[dinoman666]

The Tankers had gained an advantage over Imperial walkers, and infantry could do little against them, so they turned their attention to the newest threat: the fighters. However, they did not attack them. Instead, they disappeared underground, coming up behind Anti-air turrets and frying them to a crisp. This left the previously grounded Hoppers to take to the skies yet again, causing more trouble for the Imperial air units. Some Plasma Bugs were killed by lucky hits from TIE Bombers, but they ignored the attack and continued their relentless bombardment, causing havoc amongst the fleet in space.

[The Kingpin]

"Sir, the ship's ready for departure" came the voice of the King's assistant from outside the large office he considered a throne room. "Thank you, Zereth. Aragren will be there shortly" responded king Aleron. "I suppose it's time to say goodbye, then" said Serephir as he finished his drink and got up from his chair. Aragren, Serephir's second in command and one of his students, moved away from a book case and put a book on Vardian history down on the table. "Anything in particular you want me to watch out for?" he said. "Well, the few ships we already have out there have been intercepting radio frequencies and decoding them. we have a very few true Space Travellers among us who've roamed space for a while, and what we've gathered is this. One of the major races of conscern are the Kloutians, or Klout as some of them call them. According to what i've been told, they're more or less blueish anthropomorphic wolves" said Aleron. "Anthropomorphic wolves...wolves...where have i heard of them before?" he said. "Most likely the museum. they used to roam this planet before the Ralgons became a dominant species and drove them into extinction" said Serephir as he poured himself another drink and sat back down. "Ah, that's right. anyway, continue, Your majesty" said Aragren. "Well, apparently they're one of the more major races among the ones currently found just outside our galaxy. according to our informants, they don't quite like humans, though that information is still in question, since at least a couple have said they shared good relations with the Kloutian race during their travels" said King Aleron. "Right. so should i take it i am to keep on my guard, but avoid combat as much as possible?" said Aragren. "more or less, yes. however, if you're attacked, don't hesitate to fight back. i'm sure that, in the case of a conflict, they'd understand if you were acting in self defense. they are a highly advanced sentient race, afterall". said Serephir as he took a sip from his drink, before looking at his watch. "3:14 PM. it's time you left. the battleship is waiting. i hope to see you in a few months. take care of them" he said. Aragren nodded and gave him a salute, which Serephir lazily returned. "I like respect, but please Aragren, you're more of a younger brother to me than a subordinate" he said. Aragren chuckled and said "Still. it's part of the code. have to keep to that". Serephir said "Eh. you stick to that part of it if you like, but to me, i don't really care either way". Aragren chuckled and then nodded to Aleron, before giving him a salute. "Good luck Aragren. we hope to hear from you soon" said the King, and with that, Aleron left, heading for one of the Alpha class Battle Frigates. "If the worst comes to the worst, we may need to send an ambassador to smoothen out the relationships between us. i take it that humans out there use the same language as us?" said Aleron. "Yes, surprisingly. i didn't expect it, but apparently we use the same language as them. must be due to origin. but that's so far back in history the information's been lost, so we can't tell where our true origins are. only that we most likely share them with that race. the Maricans, if i remember Kage's words right". "Kage...with his kind of personality one wonders how he doesn't end up with everyone in the Galaxy against him" said Aleron. "Well, i guess some people like his personality. with that sort of attitude, it's not unusual for people to look up to him. the stereotypical tough guy" said Serephir with a chuckle. "Yeah...let's just hope that attitude doesn't get them into trouble" said Aleron. Serephir chuckled and said "Relax. they'll be fine". Aleron grunted and walked over to a chair opposite Serephir's and said "Your move". Serephir grinned and put his drink down on a small table next to him and focused on the board in front of him. Shogi...a varient of Chess. he grinned as he looked at Aleron and reached for one of the pieces...

"Let's get moving you scumbags! we have some travelling to do and i want this big tub airborne!" yelled a large, bald man with a brownish blond beard and a mustache as he walked along the airstrip. the jets of the massive ship roared to life as the last bits of cargo were loaded on board. a light clank behind him marked the arrival of the man he'd been waiting for. "'Bout damned time you got here" he said as he turned around and looked Aragren right in the eyes. "Zip it, Kage. I was busy" replied Aragren as he looked around. "Let's get going" he said. Kage grunted, turning away and walking off, Aragren noticing a tribal flame tattoo along the man's right arm. It's like he can't live without having some tattoo burned into his skin every few months. scrap one and put another in it's place. it's a wonder his skin hasn't burned off yet he thought as the man walked off, yelling orders. within minutes, the engines kicked into full power and the Star Frigate Orion lifted off, heading for space...

[Doc 42]

The arachnids dead body dropped out of the Arrows cargo bay, the ship floating on towards the planet beyond silently...

The Koult cruiser zipped through space, so close to freedom... The Ship that had evaded capture and destruction three times so far, and now the Maricans were on its trail once again. The Koult captain was in the tech bay, stareing at the cube that was the source of all this fighting... That cube... The importance of getting it to the Koult high command dwarfed everything else... The ai cortex of one of the most secretive Super Drones the Marican's possessed...

[Anaclagon]

"Fire" Revan commanded as the Annihilator continued firing its turbo laser batteries and point laser cannons into other spores, further taking out any of the remaing spores with the Super Star Destroyers, Brawl and Reaper as any other ships fell back to avoid being shot down by plasma bugs. As one of the side mini super lasers where unleashed. The super laser was part of a advanded super weapon system.

3 Main super lasers where in the front, used to decimate space stations, capital ships and rip apart continents. The sides where only used to decimate capital ships in one shot...while weaker, they still could rip capital ships apart. Still one of the 6 weak super lasers was fired as the laser ripped towards the surface, frying anything within its range taking out tankers and warriors as the beam crashed into the planet surface leaving a rather large crater..

While the troops where firngTIE bombers unleashed their weaponry as their weapons slammed into plasma bugs resulting in rather large explosions. Gunships attacked hoppers using their laser cannons and beam weapons that slashed their foes with ease..Troops fell back as along with AT-AT laying down supressing fire to get better elevtaion and poistion..

[dinoman666]

The Tankers continued to ambush AT-ATs, knocking them down and destroying them. Hoppers assaulted attacking Gunship,s ripping through the cockpits and throwing the pilots out, before leaping off and letting the ship crash to the ground. Warriors swarmed everywhere, dragging down infantry with their sheer weight of numbers, while the Plasma Bug bombardment barely lessened, pounding capital ships and space stations relentlessly. Much of the fleet above was in ruins as a result: anything that wasn't destroyed was most likely crippled, and the space stations became floating hunks of debris.

[Anaclagon]

"My Lord Victories and Acclamtors have suffered much and we've lost several space stations, others are damaged" The Grand Admiral replied.

"Where is that captain..." Revan demanded as he kept his arms folded in the bridge of the Annihilator.

"Sorry my lord, we've been delayed...but were here now, we had divided up the map, there is a massive ammount of them but we'll slash down the middle, the remaning will be taken out from the groups of tie bombers waiting to be assembled" The captain of the battlegroup replied.

The captain moved his Broadside cruisers in poistion, there targets where the tankers and plasma bugs and each of the numerous cruisers had more then enough missles to unleash hell..

The broadside cruisers then unleashed their weapons firing their assualt concussion missles as the numerous broad side crusiers began to fire swarms of missles that slammed into tankers and plasma bugs, taking out anything along with them..
