2 Imperial war ship's exit the Warp near Secundus.After sending out comm signals to determine if there is any intelligent life in the system,they receive a hail from Secundus.After landing,they are greeted by a Harch admiral named Trench.After the Imperial diplomats learned the Harch's empire included more than just the Harch and Secundus,they immediately tried to assimilate the Harch.But after a very heated argument,the Harch killed the Imperial diplomats.Not going to let this go,The Empire send's in one fleet of warships to the System.

After many days of endless rebellions by the Harch and it's allies,the Empire had enough. Deciding to take action,they fired the composer,a well kept secret that only the highest officials of the Empire used to know about,on a Harch colony world.After that,the Harch and her allies were assimilated into the Empire. The planets that were part of the Harch empire were Secundus Ando,Ashath,Knomo,Driment,Ountepe,and Ingaress. The races are the Harch and the byakhee.

But direct combat assault was for the frigate and destroyer class ships, who would zip around at astonishing speeds to latch onto UEG ships and MAC cannons and deliver the pay load up close and personal, -enabling the direct bypassing of shields and localized destruction. Capable of avoiding the limited scope of the MAC cannons, these lower-grade ships would come leech onto and pester the UEG space command.

Meanwhile, the First and Second Fleet's dreadnoughts re-concentrated their fire on the infamous Infinity's battle group location.

A freighter was caught in the action, it was far too large to escape, as it was 560km long, and had over 3trillion credits worth of valuable materials inside, it collided with a destroyer, and it split in half, trillions worth of cargo was now gone, news spread to the Exodus Empire and they were not take it lightly, they were enraged.

"Dispatch the Fleet of Paticular Justice, as it is currently on border patrol, they need some action" said the T'nar, still aboard his ship in the wolve warzone, then the fleet of paticular justice mobilised for reach, to help destroy the invaders.

(How did one of your freighters end up in the heart of UEG space?)

Reach

Decisive that the Empire has made its point about deploying spy probes, all involved fleets at the Battle of Reach have retreated back into Impervious Space. Orbital defenses as well as other military fleets are prepared for retaliation, but no further offensive actions are planned.

HIGHCOM had learned from this attack and realized they were out of line, and sent the prowler UNSC Circumference to Illium to attempt to reestablish peaceful contact with the Impervious Empire. The 19th Shock Trooper Battalion was placed aboard the ship to ensure its safety.

OOC: I'll keep feelings tense so maybe we can fight again later.

Illium

The UNSC ship that entered into Illium's orbit were met with the up most security. Upon learning of a slip space rupture, the entire planet was placed into lock down mode in fear of a retaliation fleet. As the Empire's species braced themselves in Illium's cities below, thousands of ships locked onto the Prowler's location in orbit above. After realizing only a single ship had come through, the First Fleet's Commander demanded the ship leave Impervious within 15 seconds or face annihilation.

The ship, realizing that the Impervious forces were not bluffing, left the system almost immediately. They reported back to HIGHCOM what had occurred, and that the Impervious had not yet moved on and tensions would remain high.

Illium

Following the battle with the UEG and various military scares, life is slowly returning to normal in Empire space. The Council and Emperor are being praised for handling the situation from a mature stand point, plus the media's toting of an Impervious victory might have boosted the approval rating a couple of points.

Attention has focused back on to the Ihtorians, who, rather unfortunately, came into the Empire at a rather dangerous time. Nevertheless, the Empire has made them to feel welcome. The Ihtorians, already receiving the stereotype as the most polite beings in the galaxy, are being heralded as an excellent addition. Even the Kaminoans are welcoming their arrival, given their low birth rates, civilized nature, and deep understanding of biology. The joint Kaminoan-Ihtorian Terraforming Task Force has continued without incident.

The first Ihtorian Councilor:

Back in Leumas, admiral Samulus was sitting on his throne thinking. He knew that, as a small power, he needed friends. So he sent an envoy to the Shartii Imperium. They would be escorted by 4 Pheonix fighters and brought to Altos in a small transport ship. The task force lifted off from Leumas and headed towards Altos. Just incase, the SSDAOI was on standby, it's ships ready to come to the aid of the envoy's at any moment.

Rumours of 'force wielders' taking refuge, and hiding in the Exodus System were circulating the High Councils chambers, The topic eventually was discussed, and taken as a serious issue, the High Councilors had assembled in the Supreme Chamber to discuss what action should be taken.

"Today we discuss thes 'force users' and what action should be taken towards them, Praetor Prassus shall explain"
"they are connected to the 'force' which flows through all life, it is the basis of neural physics too, but we do not refer to it as 'force' anyway, 'Jedi' are here hunting 'Sith' 'Jedi' use the 'lightside' of the force, 'sith' use the 'dark side' 'lightside' uses no hatred or anger in combat, 'darkside' uses anger and hatred to advantage, we know that they can use telekinesis, and telepathy, they are mostly hiding on Haven III, we suspect the battle on the Assembly Station was them, as somehow an office room detatched from its holdings, and plummetted to Haven III's surface, we know of 4 'Force Users', 'Darth Nihil' 'Darth Daedric' 'Kurt Knight' and 'Master Shen Fi', we could welcome them into our empire, or kill them, we have to choose one side."

The Bakari. A race of grey-colored humanoid aliens that have existed in the south-western end of the Galaxy for several million years. They are a relatively old species still in the fray, compared to the rest of the galaxy, however they have been completely isolated from any galactic events. They emerged from their home planet, now known as Bakari Prime, which had been plagued by back-to-back civil wars for the last 50,000 years. The Bakari were fighting a powerful enemy known as the Altarians. They are another race of alien humanoids genetically related to the Bakari, but they originated from the planet Thanatus. Battle after battle occurred, and casualties mounted. So far, the civil wars have accounted for a total of 1 quintillion casualties, with more than 1 trillion ships destroyed. The Bakari's solar system had been left in ruins, with Thanatus and Bakari Prime in ruins alike. Ever since the founding of the Galactic Senate several thousand years ago, the Bakari has become a member and has made it's presence known in the galaxy. In addition, peace is beginning to ensue across the solar system as Lord Bakarus, the leader of the Bakari for the last 2,000 years, has recently made a peace treaty with the Altarian leadership, which combined their empires into a single faction, known as the Bakari Union. However, the galaxy is once again starting to go down into turmoil. The Bakari and the Altarians alike are starting to disagree with the Chancellor's decisions, and the faction is starting to hate the Senate. Meanwhile, Bakari Prime is beginning to rebuild itself now that the war has ended.

Bakari Prime
High Orbit
A conjoined fleet of Eliminatari-class Destroyers (owned by the Bakari) and Aleutian-class Cruisers (owned by the Altarians), totaling 15,000 ships, would be stationed above the planet, preparing to break it's gravity and head outside of the known solar system. Aboard the capital ship, the Decimator, stood Lord Bakarus, dressed in his red and black robes and wearing his life support mask, and several members of the Altarian leadership. They were preparing to begin an assault on another solar system, something that hadn't been done in thousands of years, in order to gain resources to finish construction of the Doomsday-class Dreadnought, a joint project between the Altarians and the Bakari in order to protect the Union, as well as to reconstruct Bakari Prime and the other planets that were decimated. After everything was set, Bakarus would give the signal, and the fleet would begin jumping into hyperspace one by one.

Illium

Following the Great Race Riots of Illium and the recent turmoil in the Council, the Council has unanimously voted for an intra-galactic Empire patriots day. The goal of which is to dissolve racial tensions and blend feelings of hate into a prideful force the Empire can wield.

Furthermore, the Council has commissioned the Ihotiran-Kaminoan Terraforming Task Force to begin analyzing and preparing for a re-terraforming of the Vorcha home world of Heshtok; which ecologically speaking, lies in ruins from industrialization.

A group of 3 ISO soldiers journey through the crowded cantine in the driveworks™ industrial platform on Haven III, they were in their distinct exoskeletons, which weren't so distinct since exoskeletons were a common sight, just like skycars and star freighters, they made their way towards the bar, and witnessed the Jedi they had to capture, they moved in, he was sat facing the bartender, drinking from a glass of illegal drink, when the 3 soldiers surrounded him "are you Shen?"

OOC: Excuse any spelling mistakes please guys, this post is from my Blackberry 8520...

Claus walked down a corridor within the Alien Station, he was following the glass being that called itself 'Neutrino'.
"We have been conscious for about fourteen million years. We have keeping an eye on you people since the first signs arrived... The lingering signals of the Dawn War. And have learnt much about you, and from you.". Neutrino spoke.
He was quite colloquial, except for an almost obsessive attention to every detail of grammar, articulation and pronunciation. Claus found that he had a very strange voice... Strange not because it sounded different, but strange because it emanated a human voice so well, far better than he would have thought a bunch of glass balls should have been able to.
"This is all well and interesting, but how exactly does it pertain to my and my people's situation?" Claus asked, trying very hard not to sound cocky or unfriendly.
"In an attempt to better and update our information and observation capacity, we built aa wormhole that leads from this star, to your galaxy." Neutrino patiently explained.
Claus understood what he was getting at.
"And we can return to the Milky Way through that wormhole..." He stated, more as a question.
"Yes. But unfortunately it is not that easy. Soon after it had settled enough for ship travel, the wolves made a trap near it. And within the last hundred years, the Conjoined still in the Milky Way, have covered it with a stardam." Neutrino continued.
"What is a stardam?" Claus asked.
"It is basically an assortment of solar ring worlds - worlds built by what the Conjoined call 'The Ancients'. They have mirrors on the inside of their rings that reflect starlight and any light perfectly. By assorting them to form a perfect sphere, you damn up any and all radiation from the star inside, letting it leak out slowly and harmlessly into space.". Neutrino explained.
"Accept this one wasn't built around a star?" Claus asked.
"Correct." Neutrino answered. "This one was built around the one end of the wormhole... So if you went through now, you would bash yourself against the inside of the dam... You need to find a way to inform the Conjoined that you are alive, and ask them to remove the dam so you can pass through. And since the dam stops all light, sending a message through the wormhole won't work.". Neutrino told Claus.
But Claus had another way to contact his brother... Or whom ever governed the Conjoined noe...
The Continuum.

"We have a visual on the temple, requesting orbital strike at Sigma delta two niner." Alex says over the Vox to the ship in orbit. "Firing solution recieved firing for effect." The captain of the ship says as a brilliant yellow beam parts the clouds striking the temple scoring a direct hit. Within a minute the temple explodes in a small mushroom cloud. "Temple destroyed, good work." Alex says as the group returns to their Thunderhawk unaware that the temples they are destroying prevented the ruinous powers from opening a rift where their armies could leave the warp, and attack the galaxy.

"No, you have the wrong man" said the man in a calm, comforting voice "Hmm, so you are not a man with brown hair, blue eyes, wears robes which distinguish himself from everyone else here as a 'Jedi'?" said the soldier sarcastically "no, certainly not" said the man, then the soldier turned him arond, picked him up and slammed him through the wall of the bartender area, and jumped over the bar to continue attacking him, and the other soldiers joined him, they were all greeted by a force push though, and were sent flying into the crowd.

The Jedi walked out of the drinks area, he ignited his golden lightsaber, the crowd of people inside the cantine screamed and ran, the Jedi began using the force to levitate almost every object in the room and throw them at the soldiers, then another soldier walked in, armed with a straight-katana, it was Alec. The Jedi turned to face Alec, and thrown drinks at him, Alec used cybernetics to counter the attack and throw the objects back, the Jedi swiftly dodged, and Alec began engaging in close combat with him, it was a highly acrobatic fight as the two duellers backflipped and flurried, their weapons were moving at extremely fast speeds, as Alec utilised a reverse grip style, the blade would be behind him and when he attacked he would sweep the blade and spin it around in an extremely deadly yet beautiful manner, the Jedi seen this as awfully similar to a lightsaber combat style known as sith shien, so he knew how to counter the attacks. The other soldiers grabbed their railguns and fired upon the Jedi, 2 rounds were force pushed back killing 1 of the soldiers and knocking the other unconcious, the third hit the jedi giving alec enough time to cybernetically(cybernetics are that mass effect thing arent they) levitate the Jedi into the air, throw him into the walls repeatedly and then smash him into the ground, knocking him unconcious.

The conquest of the Ligori, Star Vampire, and Many-Angled Ones was complete, but 1 million of both Ligioiri and Star Vampire went away before the Miri-Voh Shiri where able to completely conquer them, some say that they went to the Auir Republic and Mandalore Sunry decided that it was not worth the hassle to go after unless face by war against the forces they went to. After which the Miri-Voh Shiri have needed the Many-angled Ones to scout out the other dimensions as well as find new pathways to travel faster through.

Clavain willed the observation copula to move. It emerged from the ship's hull like a drop of water emerging from a larger body of water. With the hull of the Nightshade seamlessly closing up behind it. A tug sped towards the copula from the Nightshade's cargo bay. It magnetically clamped onto the copula and began pulling it towards the wreckage of the enemy fleet. Clavain watched the wreckage assume new shapes as the plasma torches of the salvage crew cast a different set of shadows on it every couple of seconds. It somehow managed to make this death, this horror of sentience seem beautiful. But Clavain wasn't here to admire the scenery, he was here to collect samples on what was left of the fleet, to learn what and who these things were, and what they were after. The orchestra of flames continued to strip the wreckage of every ounce of salvageable material as Clavain closed in. He headed for a cave within the wreckage, it had probably been a cargo bay. Once he was within a kilometre of the mouth of the cave, the tug released him and made its way to a waiting orbit around the wreckage, ready to return him to the ship when called for. The momentum the copula had carried it towards one side of the mouth. Seconds before impact the copula extended eight spider-like articulating legs. They absorbed the impact, and the copula began marching into the cave, lighting the way with several lights it had fashioned in the same several seconds as the legs. The inside was just as beaten up as the outside, but resembled a ship more. It wasn't as melted as the skin of the ship, and you could actually make out a strut and a cable here and there, but no crew, no bodies was to be found anywhere. It made Clavain very uneasy. It reminded him way too much of the condition in which most ships that had encountered the Wolves were found. The crew would rarely be found, it they were, they were either half dissolved, or had the black crystalline structures that were the Wolves plunging into their minds through every orifice of their body... Clavain was torn back to the present by a voice popping into his head over tightbeam. [We are entering the cave mouth now, Sire. We will meet you at the rendezvous location in about ten minutes.] It informed him.

Unknown Location, Impervious Space

HFPE

In the background, hundreds of military ships can be seen floating aimlessly, while massive supply ships continue to warp about, supplying the site with kilotons of precious metals.

"I can't believe we're under taking this!" One Kaminoan engineer remarked to another.
"Don't get your hopes up so soon, half of this technology is beyond any of our current understanding," A Human remarked.
"I am currently processing billions of possible solutions, the battery requirements for this project are tremendous," A Synthetic interfaced into the main laboratory responded.
"You three babble like Vorcha," the lead Engineer, an infamously known Yahg who had a habit of brutally bringing in projects before the deadline, grumbled to the three lesser species.
"You have a reputation to uphold, indeed, as do we, but this Crucible project will require ever resource we can muster..."

Build site for the Crucible:

In the system in the no mans land between Auir, and the Imperium the barrier between realspace, and the warp weakens with each temple destroyed. The imperial forces are completely unaware that they were being manipulated by Tzeentch to weaken the barrier enough to allow them to break through, and begin their invasion of the galaxy.

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Tzeentch

Clavain arrived at the far end of the cave, near the other end of the ship. His ladar scanners showed the surface as he came within two hundred metres of it. He extended the copula's eight arms, and halted his motion softly at the wall. He willed the copula to open, and it did. It thinned its hull until it was but a singe Nanite layer thick.
Clavain stepped through it, and was in vacuum within the alien ship. He knew that the Nanites forming this soft, flexible suit could harden in a nano-second to form armour as strong as any other suit's in existence. But he still felt vulnerable. The ritualistic manner with which you had to plate up with armour in the ancient and archaic human space suits, just made you feel so much safer.
Clavain watched as the second copula following him made a safe 'landing'. He made his way to them, slowly edging between the breaks and protrutions of the hull 'beneath' his feet.
The strange, and terrifying thing was that many of the damage to the inside of the ship was old. Some of the struts had multiple layers of damage. It brokered the idea that they didn't care enough about their ships or their own safety to do a decent repair, or even just patch-up. This bit at the most primitive emotive nodes in his mind. The Conjoined loved their ships as people, not just a hunk of metal. This was due to them spending hundreds of years on ships, and because their ships were 'alive', they existed under constant internal change, like a massive organism. When you touched the side of a corridor, you weren't touching metal plates, you were touching billions of tiny nanites, they could deform to soften a fall, fashion a chair or bench at a moment's notice, or reach out and kill any intruders. The conjoined ships had personalities, moods, and the crew loved them dearly...

Rannochian Ships
"This is Admiral Ten'Gho Vas Ikenlen contacted Factory World 033, are you online and responding?"
"Affirmative, Admiral we shall be producing units worthy of the Rannochian Armies soon, once we repair the damage done"
"Excellent" replied the Admiral "Daro'Xen will be issuing a stronger firewall in the Geth systems soon"
"Acknowledged" the Geth unit replied.
Communication Ended
Ten sighed as he looked upon the galaxy, so much was undiscovered.

Requiem
Aristotle rubbed his head
"That was not nice" he commented as he stared at the forerunner construct infront of him, it then beeped and flew away, not giving up the science team followed it, wondering where it would take them.

"prep the stealth shuttle, I want a space extravehicular mech in it" said T'nar "it is already loaded with one, warping you to the launchbay" replied the A.I. as the T'nar was warped to the drop bay, he appeared in the drop bay at the back of the stealth dropship, he then boarded it. The T'nar walked through the mech bay and into the cockpit, he sat in the chair and looked at through the screen in front of him and eventually neurally connected to the ship, his body faded out and now he could feel the ship, he had become one with the ship and willed it to move, it hovered in the air, then the doors below it opened and it dropped out the ship, he then willed it to move to the sight of the wrecked fleet, their was not much leftnas most of it was in crushed in slipspace or crushed by a blackhole, he thought he was close enough to one of the relatively intact ships and disconnected with his stealth shuttle. The T'nar had his body fade back from the ship to his own, he waited 5 seconds for his mind to adjust to his real body, eventually he got back up and headed for his extravehicular mech which was folded up into a micro starfighter, he got in the cockpit and then he activated the holo displays and grabbed the two controls, he was'nt so used to analog control but still managed to control it, he then neurally communicated with the ship to open the bay doors, he then flew out the bay doors into the void of space. The badly damaged ship he was approaching had an aura of fear, yet the T'nar continued, he moved further until he was directly next to the ship and then found a missile impact hole to enter, he then suddenly turned his starfighter into a mech and dropped into the hole with a large clank, he could see the dark, badly wrecked interior, it was a cold sight, everything looked damaged and scathed, he moved his mech forward not knowing what too expect.

Tau Border, Southern Qaudrant

Cutting through the fabric of space a warp gate emerged, and from the tear came a Tau battlefleet, moving to intercept an unknown fleet that had emerged from dark space days before. The Tau in the light of recent Rogue Geth attacks had been on high alert and guarded its borders zealously.

A small fleet laid before them, despite paranoia of another Geth attack, no Cybernetic activity of high enough levels was recorded, although a strong disturbance in the warp was picked up.

The fleet was immediately hailed, the message being set to repeat every 20.12 seconds.
"You are trespassing on sovereign space, leave immediately or face boarding"
This was allowed to play for five minutes before finally a boarding craft was launched, to forcibly force the fleet to leave. Though what the boarding party discovered upon its forced entry to the ship was that the passengers were encased within cryotubes, cryogenically frozen.

The dhows were immediately latched onto by the Gravity hooks of the flagship, and soon tugged back to T'au, in which they would soon be defrosted and questioned. What was learnt was fascinating yet alarming, the Nicassar as they called themselves, had just finished a 4.3 trillion year exodus from their home galaxy, Andromeda. Escaping something that'd been willfully purged from their memory, Being exeptionally powerful Psykers, and potentially powerful weapons, the Nicassar would become the Tau's second biggest secret.

Nicassar:

The Emperor sensing the impending breakthrough departs for the solar system comprised completely of Imperial Army units. The only Astartes on board are grey knights. In his absence the Emperor names Horus the leader of the imperium in his absence. The emperor was about to embark upon a crusade with half of the Imperiums naval forces against the gods of chaos themselves. The emperor had to seize the rare opportunity to enter the realm of the ruinous powers, and destroy them once and for all.
