The Fall of a Republic (IC)

[Foledonia]

Space
Foledonian Adroz Colonial Sector
New Royal Planetary Colony
The Cradle

The second and ninth fleet exited the Warp, their ships re-materializing in the physical world from single points of light. Admiral Yako felt a wave of disembodied dread wash over him, as if he had experienced a nightmare while still fully awake. He remembered Leviathans and acid and pain beyond measure. He felt as if someone had hijacked his mind and forced him to do things and experience events that would never have happened. Odd. He chalked it up to combat stress. Admiral Takova beamed on screen before him, her previously disheveled appearance remedied. He noticed she had applied her makeup once more.

"Admiral," she said plainly, "I doubt we have much time before the Taigawan fleet arrives. Our refit should be swift. I just received a communique announcing that the fourth and fifth fleets will be joining us to supplement our losses."

Admiral Yako nodded, a wave of relief washing over him. With the extra fleets, there very well could be a chance that Foledonia would survive the next attack. But if a single Planet Breaker could cause so much damage, then there was no telling what a whole fleet would reap. If a victory graced them, it would be pyrrhic, no doubt. Regardless, Yako made preparations to refit the fleet. The Cradle drifted in the distance, orbiting the planetary colony of New Royal. The massive superstructure was capable of rearming and repairing even the biggest of ships in under eight hours. With three hundred docks, it could service an entire fleet and then some simultaneously.

He looked back at Takova, a worried look on her face. "Make ready for battle admiral, it might be our last."

Tavoka shook her head and said, "That's what I'm worried about Yako."

Space
Yul System
Thessia
Imperial Naval Construction facility

In the facility a new Forerunner ship was being built to replace Sylvia's destroyed flagship. These large stations were where Planet-Breakers, Keyships, and Guardians were constructed. The regular, non-Forerunner ships of the Ecumene were built in dedicated surface facilities on the Ecumene's many colony-worlds. While the Fleet of Holy Reconciliation was approaching their destination, a surprise was sent ahead without Sylvia knowing...and it would arrive before the Thessian fleet. That construct was a Guardian....a Forerunner construct used to police entire star systems and enforce the Mantle of Responsibility. However, it's target was not the planet, and it would deactivate upon arrival in case the enemy got there first. As news of the unprovoked attack and decimation of the local Tier 3 Civilization reached Thessia, spread in part by Forerunner ancilia, the Ecumene itself braced for war. Thessia's multi-layered orbital defenses and surface-based Ion cannons were put on a stage of alert in case the enemy found the homeworld.

Disputed Planet

Sylvia herself was alerted as a Jumpspace Rupture opened to release a Guardian.....which immediately deactivated in high orbit of the planet, keeping enough cohesion to reactivate upon the arrival of the fleet. If that was here, she knew her fleet was not far behind. Sylvia used her Contact Essance to repeat her plea for the in-atnosphere enemy to surrender to her. Meanwile, the remaing Forerunner Promeatheans regrouped and landed on the moon, along with the many thousands of sentinels that had survived. Sylvia herself was prepared to retreat into Jumpspace if the enemy attacked again before her forces could arrive.

[Peclopilis]

Arthur Cirk sat on a rock watching the rubble when he saw a boat appear out of the sea it was full of Ministers and soldiers alike [although more ministers than soldiers] He saw it was bearing the proud flag of peclopilis beaming with delight he ran to them and said ''let's get out before we get killed.''
''sorry sir no can do.''replied the Minister of Internet''We lost fuel halfway there, we used dreadful coal to come for the rest of the trip.''
''COAL COAL YOU USED COAL'' The voice ringed across the rubble''well then let's just find the bodies in the rubble and give them a funeral.''
and so they started searching the rubble

When the Forerunner Prometheans landed on Earth's moon, they found themselves on a cliff standing above a base with several exoatmospheric shuttles. It was Sputnik City Spaceport, the spaceport of Sputnik City, one of the many Treskovian settlements on the moon.

[The Interstellar Federation]

Byzanthia Space
The 1000th Expeditionary Fleet "Odyssey" warped into the orbit of the nation known as Great Byzanthia. It had reportedly fallen into turmoil as various factions have warred for control over it's territory. The Odyssey Fleet consisted of one Absolution Class Destroyer, IFS One Inch Punch, five Ragnarok Class Destroyers and multiple Cruisers and Frigates. "Alright, here's the situation: we got a massive f*ck up down there and we've gotta solve it." "Any plans sir?" "Not at the moment. We need to survey the situation and severity." "Yes sir." "Tell all personnel to prepare for orbital insertion at 0500 hours." "Roger."
