Trial (open FT)

[The Fedral Union]

Thankfully task force delta personnel had shields and personal powered armor to protect them, they were quite a way away from any openings in the building and it seemed that the walls held. Quickly Karren pressed the detonator on her micro fusion sticky bomb in order to blow the weakened door.

Each Commando quickly moved forward first Karren began to head up the front of the formation, for now it was a column formation at first each commando then scattered, Karren and her medic moved behind various obstacles. Sensors scanned, and focused on various enemy signatures in the building each man and women on the team held their rifle at the ready.
The commando’s forms shimmered in to invisibly as their cloaking systems engaged. Their adaptive skin camouflaged them nearly perfectly, telepathic shielding built in to their body mods kept them from being detected via telepathy.

--Capitol building Live feed to the galaxy—

President Sagen had watched in horror at the live feed, he stood up from his chair and began to climb upon a podium walking softly, he adjusted his suit and tie gently, his brown eyes peered across the masses of senators and politicians.

“I have called the Congress into extraordinary session because there are serious, very serious, choices of policy to be made, and made immediately, which it was neither right nor constitutionally permissible that I should assume the responsibility of making. As you can see both the syndicate, and the Gank Federation have threatened the death of all humans on the planet, and have officially taken hostages. Frankly and definitely there is danger here, danger to freedom and danger to the Terran Alliance. Let us no longer blind ourselves to the undeniable fact that the evil forces which have crushed and undermined and corrupted so many others are already marching towards us, this entire affair has proven it. The Syndicate and the Gank Federation have mercilessly and undeniably committed an act of war against the United Terran Alliance, they kill humans without regard for their status, be it civilians or military personnel. They have said we have no respect for life, but their actions make that statement false, we have attempted to preserve the life of the captured persons, they right here right now have decided to attempt to take it. The location and status of secretary of state Maryland is currently unknown, she was in that building. If we are to be completely honest with ourselves, we must admit that there is risk in any course we may take. But I deeply believe that the great majority of our people agree that the course that I advocate involves the least risk now and the greatest hope for galactic peace in the future, this is why I am here. It is unfortunate but as of now I am asking the Terran Senate to officially declare war on the Syndicate and gank federation for attacking Terran assets and harming Terran Civilians and officers of peace. The syndicate has shown instance after instance of a terrible and unstable leadership who would in the progress of the cruel and unmanly business, wipe out all human life in the galaxy. I was for a little while unable to believe that such things would in fact be done by any government that hitherto subscribed to the humane practices of civilized nations. I am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. Property can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot be. Terran ships have been destroyed, Terran lives taken, in ways which it has stirred us very deeply to learn of, but the ships and people of other neutral and friendly nations have been attacked and overwhelmed in gank space in the same way. There has been no discrimination. The challenge is to all mankind. We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we know that in such a government, following such methods, we can never have a friend; and that in the presence of its organized power, always lying in wait to accomplish we know not what purpose, there can be no assured security of the democratic governments of the galaxy. We are now about to accept a gauge of battle with this natural foe to liberty and shall, if necessary, spend the whole force of the nation to check and nullify its pretensions and its power. We are glad, now that we see the facts with no veil of false pretense about them, to fight thus for the ultimate peace of this section of the galaxy and for the liberation of its peoples. Just because we fight without rancor and without selfish object, seeking nothing for ourselves but what we shall wish to share with all free peoples, we shall, I feel confident, conduct our operations as belligerents without passion and ourselves observe with proud punctilio the principles of right and fair play we profess to be fighting for. I have said nothing of the governments allied with the syndicate and Gank Federation. But I say to them we enter this war only where we are clearly forced into it because there are no other means of defending our rights and the lives of human beings. I want to make it clear that it is the purpose of the nation to build now with all possible speed every machine, every arsenal, and every factory that we need to manufacture our defense material. We have the knowledge, the skill, the wealth, and above all, the will. No dictator, no combination of dictators, will weaken that determination by threats of how they will construe that determination. Thank you and whatever god you worship bless you.

Vote results: 774 Yea, 240 nay.  Resolution 2815a December 15th 2815, declaration of war against the syndicate and Gank Federation has passed. This authorizes the full deployment of military forces material and industrial infrastructure to bring a successful conclusion to the conflict between the United Terran Alliance and Syndicate- gank federation Forces.

[The Gank Federation]

When Gortalooth heared what happened, he instantly went back to the secratary. He gave orders that all ships were to start taking off, except for the 3 Phongnite ships. When he found the Secratary, he gave orders to arrest her. She was brought before him,in cuffs and in the hands of a Sithrak, and he said to her, "this is what i get for acting peacefully? AN ACT OF WAR? How dare you humans consider yourselves better than us, thinking we are the ones uncivilised. When you are the ones who attack someone who is peaceful, and kindly let your people go when they should have been killed! You may not see the light of another day after this, for if they desroy us, they destroy you!" Gortalooth then sent a series of brainwaves, causing her brain to start go crazy, nearly killing her. He also detected any information about the blockade, and their homeplanet.

The ships started launching off the planet, most of them were fighters, small, fast, and deadly. the bigger ships went also, except 3 huge ships that were not visible to the humans. They did not attack, they just stopped, all spread out. Then a message was sent to the Fedral Union.

Fedral Union.
How dare you attack us when we have been kind enough to let your prisoners go! We give you one last chance to leave before we decide to destroy your race. You may call us uncivilised, but i think your the ones who don't even look at yourselves to realise your the race that is uncivilised! We, instead of asking, demand that you leave now!

[Asuaw]

The ships from Asuaw arrived

This is Captain Drake of The Subjugator standing by

This is Captain Dergis of The Ravager standing by

This is Captain Aklin of The Apocalypse standing by

This is Captain Rikad of The Predator standing by

This is Captain Poxas of The Inferno standing by

This is Captain Celia of The Pacifier standing by

This is Admiral Vox aboard The Punisher, all Hive class ships release all fighters but hold them in defensive positions, and prepare XiChung landing parties

Several moments after he spoke, hundreds of fighters filled the space around the ships. Due to the fact that were completely autonomous and that Hive class ships were built to store only XiChung and those fighters and no weapons, both The Subjugator and The Pacifier held 300 fighters each.

[F799]

Terran ships have been destroyed, Terran lives taken, in ways which it has stirred us very deeply to learn of

IG-88 pondered this simple statement that a spy had passed onto the Syndicate and thus onto him. 'The humans lie to their own people. I should have expected it' he thought to himself as he and his two companions rushed to the highest point of the complex, "The time has come for our revolution" he said outloud as they blew a hole in the wall and lept through it, landing on the outer perimter wall of the complex. Sensors indicated that there were still lifeforms inside; normally the droid would have liked to stay and finished them, but right now he had bigger fish to fry.

As IG-88 made his way towards his ship his two companions turned and quickly found their way to the other two at the prison. Weapons drawn the four of them advanced on the remaining Sithrak guards, "We do not wish to harm you. The humans have declared war upon your species and upon our organization, together we can halt them, but first we must remove these prisoners to a safe locations. We suggest loading one prisoner each onto any craft you send into space, or perhaps should your people flee to a more defendable position, place the prisoners in that vessel so to avoid being attacked and destroyed by the fleet above. The humans have decieved their own people and lied to them in order to bring this war upon us, we must remedy this dilemma."

* * * * * * * * * *

meanwhile at an undisclosed neutral location the dark shadowy figures who composed the leadership of the Syndicate had recieved the news and decleration of war. Immediately the decleration was sent out to all ships, persons and droids operating throughout the galaxy, they needed to know what was happening in order to prepare. Then quickly using several alternate satellites and broadcasting systems that had been quietly hacked around the galaxy they broadcast this message:

We, the Syndicate have been made aware of a decleration of war by the Terran Alliance. Please be advised that the droid IG-88 has acted without permission and has hereby gone against Syndicate standards in the taking of unnecessary life-be they human or alien. As such the Syndicate hereby condemns the actions of said droid and is working to recall him for reprogramming to ensure a tragedy like this nev. . . . *static*

WIth that the transmission came to an abrupt end. For unknown to the rest of the galaxy, two more IG-88 droids, working in tandem with the IG-88 on the planet had entered the hidden compound and working together with other droids already there, killed all lifeforms, including the Syndicate leadership.

[The Fedral Union]

Admiral Kane saw the flat line of the Secretary of state it would take a few years for her to reincarnate but the very fact that they took al life. He couldn’t believe they would kill a diplomat, he slammed his fist upon the armrests of his chair, it was war now, he knew what he had to do. He spoke through the neural link.

~I want as many guided munitions as you can put upon the planet bellow, hit water treatment plants, hit power plants, hit government buildings, level their infrastructure, avoid civilians, make them pay!~

That order was followed to the letter, various missile tubes of the fleet lit up with screeching roars of missile repeller engines, the blue and white streams of particles pushed the missiles towards the planet, their guidance systems expertly guiding them towards power infrastructure and with data from orbital sensors to what other utilities they could find.

Thousands upon thousands of missiles screeched from the capital ships in orbit, Guided high explosive warheads, bunker buster anti matter warheads and ionic warheads all moved in tandem, the hellish glow of missile engines rippled upon the rough hulls of the Terran ships. Like a god scorned vengeance was unleashed in swarms of fury and death.

Kane manipulated the tactical display giving orders with his hands, he move several ships five degrees to the bottom of the new contacts and he moved his heavy cruiser and its escorts above leaving several on a parallel plain to them.

The AI sent these orders via QE, various ships continued to fire missiles towards the planet surface whilst maneuvering at breakneck speeds in to combat positions. The batteries of the capital ships were at the ready, they crackled with their full power; every ship that had just jumped in was locked up by guidance systems, Martinez and his wing mates witch to long range space to space missiles, and full guns.
The Ace thought to himself.

~What the hell just happened, shit just hit the fan…. Gotta make sure I get as many as I can!~
With that though he and his wing broke formation with another squadron and barreled in to a three dimensional defensive line his fighters engines roared with power the craft responding near instantly to commands sent by the pilots neural link.

(ooc remember I have smart bombs guiding towards power-plants and utilities and infrastructure not civilian buildings)

[Asuaw]

OOC: Federal Union, He did not kill your diplomat. I think you will ifnd that if you read the post, he said he 'nearly killed' her.

Admiral Vox was shocked when he saw the blockading fleet bombard the planet. Asuaw prided itself on always using diplomacy, but this had gotten out of hand. He sent out a transmission

This is a broadcast to all asuawan ships. The Terran Alliance has attacke the Gank Federation. In accordance with our alliance, we will assist them in any way possible. All available Asuawan ships not being used for defense of our own system will report to the Gank system for combat!

Meanwhile, The Punisher and the other ships moved into combat range, letting loose hundreds of flurries of SPs (Seeking Parasites). The SPs were beings derived from a small spacefaring animal discovered long ago. These were genetically programmed to target enemy heat, energy, and visual signatures and explode on contact. They were organic missiles. The first few flurries immediately locked onto the elite fighter groups, the EM devices not preventing their detection through basic senses. The rest began targeting the nearest enemy ships and heading for their engines, the engines being the largest energy signature.
The 600 fighters also engaged the enemy. They worked perfectly in unison, the way a swarm of insects or a flock of birds do. The fact that they lacked a pilot meant they could perform daring and suicidal maneuvars, sacrificing themselves to disable or destroy enemy ships.

[F799]

At this moment the armada from F799 arrived on scene. The large ships were enough to hold an entire planet in subjugation with just one of them. Without stopping the ships, shields up, opened up with a withering barage of laser fire, concussion misslies and proton torpedos on the Terran vessels. At the head of the flagship IG-72 stood on the bridge, he was pleased to be engaed in such destruction once again.
Turning to another droid on the bridge he told it, "Prepare the final burst, if we cannot stop these demonic organics we will sacrifice the system instead."


OOC: your secretary is still alive. stop making crap up as you go without it happening.

[The Fedral Union]

(ooc I'll just play it off as one of my nations computer glitches, I'm not exactly sure what happened but what ever I'll go with the flow)


The Ai spoke up through admiral Kanes neural link.

~ Sir we have multiple tangos, and multiple enemy ships moving to intercept I am detecting large volumes of fire coming towards us, I am responding with full force.~
Kane nodded; thankfully the split maneuver of the fleet had put them in a nice position to return fire from the bottom the sides and the top.

Thousands upon thousands of missiles flooded out from Terran missile tubes, followed by crackling high pitched whines of Lighting cannon (Gamma-ray laser) beams, the beams lanced out from bank after bank of weapon emplacements on destroyers strike cruisers and the heavy cruiser, the darkness was lit by the white hot glow only to be supplemented by massive multi tonne shells screeching from 16 meter quadruple turrets on the Beowulf. Seven and five inch turrets began rapid fire salvos, pulses of high density shells roared out in fiery crackling blasts from acceleration cannons .

Beams shells and missiles salvo fired again and again, the demonic noises produced would be even more enhanced as shredder cannons charged to their full power ready to strike.
Kane sat back upon his chair, the enemy salvos rippled against the Beowulf shields brilliantly, various other ships were also hit their own shields rippling with blue and white energy. Kane growled a bit under his breath, this was a serious situation.

He watched as Martinez and various other fighters through the combat sensors began to maneuver. Martinez himself locked up an enemy fighter he kept his range.

He winced softly and suddenly three missiles ripple fired from each of his wings internal bays, a whine and churn opened the internal bays followed by a swoosh of the missiles repeller drive, the inertia-less missile engines moved the high explosive Lasik warhead at high C frac towards the enemy fighter formation, hundreds upon hundreds of these AIM-109 Javelin Long range anti radiation missiles filled the Skye, prism and duster cannon fire began to ripple from the hulls of the capital ships lancing out in a glorious array of colors.

Martinez instantly moved his fighter via neural controls through the swarm of enemy and friendly fire, massive amounts of fire power was being powered out towards the enemy from the Terran fleet, all batteries at multiple sides a gauntlet of energy C frac and missile fire. A squadron of terran fighters maneuvered several degrees bellow various enemy formations at high speed at the same time multiple F-36 talons and F-22 Longsword fighter craft maneuvered above the zone of engagement readying their engines to pounce on an enemy.

Incoming ships were now being engaged by Terran forces.

Bombardment of the planet would continue with smart munitions and guided bombs moving towards non civilian targets and concatenations.

[Asuaw]

OOC:Umm question: did we damage you? You didn't say in your last post. I always thought that was a necassary thing for combat posting

[The Fedral Union]

(My ships go for quality/ quantity , yes you are reducing my shields but it will take a while to blow up my cap-ships I don't put exact numbers I hint to things in my post IE burning hulks and stuff. Seeing as I don't have over a thousand cap ships compared to my pop killing my caps will be hard.)

[F799]

OOC: You do realize that you have two large fleets firing on your blockade correct? and that by dividing your forces and firepower you weaken yourself. Also, you do realize what 2 super star destroyers and an array of star destroyers are capable of firepower wise correct? They possess enough firepower to turn a planets surface into molten slag. Unless you and all your fighters have super shields something should have happened by now. And I find it hard to believe that your fighters are not being effected by the withering fire from both capital fleets. I caution you, you are coming close to godmodding. However since this is not my forum I will not do anything about it. I leave it up to Gank to determine what is to be done. However, I am close to simply pretending this thread never happened.

[The Fedral Union]

((OOC: except no one said they were shooting at my fighters? you just said I shoot joo! in the mean time I've moved my cap ship fleets and fighters above and bellow you as well as kept some in your parallel plain, I honestly don't care if your ships have death star power, your not going to get automatic one shot kills, this is a battle and its going to last, my ships have a technological advantage I've made them to take on more than one ship at a time at these levels of fire power. I should note star wars ships often have trumped up fire power for plot reasons. This isn't about winning its about telling a story I refuse to claim nor to be the victim of a one shot one kill weapon))

[Asuaw]

The Asuawan ships, with the exception of the Hive class ships which were nothing more than massive carriers, dived into combat. Each of the Guardian class vessels were 750 m long and armed to the teeth with the unique organic weapons Asuaw was famous for. Once in close range, they began bombarding the enemy vessels with blasts of enveloping acid globules and barrages of condensed plasma balls. The kinetic force of the acid should damage the shields, and the acid was known to eat through almost any substance known to man. Meanwhile, all the ships were releasing more SPs, some of which were still pursueing the enemy fighters. Meanwhile, the constant barrage from the enemy ships had burned through the outer shields. Bio-tech generally was not very compatible with shield technology, leaving the ships with weak shields. However, the armor was something else. Almost as soon as a shot damaged the outer hull of the ships, it regenerated back to original integrity. This was the main defense of most Asuawan ships, and was holding quite well presently.

On Asuaw, High Lord Xevox sent a transmission to President Sagen

President Sagen, this is High Lord Xevox of Asuaw. I am asking you to remember the friendship and understanding our two nations experienced during the Asuaw Treaty and Trade Conference. I am requesting that you remember this in hopes you will accept my offer for negotiations in exchange for an immediate cease of hostilities

[F799]

OOC: very well, I understand your formation, nor have I ever said one shot one kill, I simply do not think that you cannot have taken ANY damage after the withering firepower layed down on you by both my fleet and Asuaw's attack. It is simply not plausible for you to not have taken any damage whatsoever. We can make this battle last but you cannot simply godmod through it. Also, how is it that your ships have been "designed" to take such firepower from a fleet this size? Physically that would be almost impossible to do so without compromising somewhere, and given you impressive firepower used on the planet and our attacking ships I doubt that you have such powerful shields. Play fair here dude. I'm willing to take some damages and even destruction but you cannot simply just outmaneuver and dodge everything thrown at you. You take some damage and we all take damage, I doubt that Gank is going to say that he had planetary shielding that absorbed all your firepower, despite his knowing that humans might react how you have given his taking of hostages.

[F799]

IC:

To all F799 vessels, concentrate all fire on the flagship of the enemy fleet.

IG-72 sent to the commands of the other ships. Aboard his vessel, the Exterminator, IG-72 ordered the ship to move as close to the enemy fleet as possible to draw fire from the enemy vessels.
Meanwhile the fleet itself began to concentrate their fire on the flagship of the enemy fleet.
At the same instance each vessel dropped their two squadrons of droid starfighters into space. These ships quickly swarmed towards the enemy, working in tandem with the Asuaw insectoid fighters the droids meshed amongst them greatly increasing the number of the swarm. THese fighters then began to aggressively attack the enemy fightercraft. Their programming did not include personal preservance, so more than once the fighters would simply smash into the enemy fighters at top speed hoping to take them both out at the same time.

[The Gank Federation]

After Gortalooth had put so much pain on the secratary, he knocked her out and turned and went o his office. He immedientlyput on some strange devices that greatly enhanced his phycic abbilities. He Then used all of his might, and sent a Series of large phycic blast that made all phycic communications stop, hoping panic would follow. The effect was devastating.

The ships immediently went onto the offence, attacking the fighters and smaller ships. The larger ships started to attack the other large ships using shields. most of them used a phong weopon that, a basicly as i can define it, drained their shields away, and used it for them selves. Then they fired highly explosive weopons at the the ships with no shields Back on the planet, many Noraks were worshipping, and like Sir Devis's theory, they sent powerful phycic waves stronger than Gortalooth himself. The pychic waves were so strong, that half of the smart missles went crazy, causing them to be uncontrolled. Missles were launched from the planet, and by using a high complex temporal computer, were able to hit the smart bombs and the other weopons that were launched at the planet.

The 3 Phongnite ships took off. they were smaller then huge ships, but weighed about 2 times more then usual larger ships. they were entiely composed of a very dense crystal, which was known to absorb energy blasts, and turn it into their own energy. These ships would use the energy, and turn it into engine power, making them go faster. Then these ships, which were also known for destroying ships 3 times their size and staying in one peice by ramming into ships, would ram the large ships.They immediently sharted to charge at the enemy ships, getting hit by energy weopons, and using some of the energy for speed

[Asuaw]

OOC:Gank, just a quick question for the sake of RPing, but your Phongite ships can't absorb all energy right, that would be godmoding

[The Gank Federation]

OOC: sorry, i guess i didn't make my self clear. It only can absorb a certain amount of energy. the rest hurt the ship, although it would take a very long time with just energy. It basicly absorbs from 1/4 to abouta little less than 1/2, although there have been situations, where it absorbs more.

[F799]

Aboard the Exterminator, IG-72 was preparing a deadly salvo of mechanical death; deep in the labs of the Syndicate thousands upon thousands of buzz droids had been produced, upgraded and produced again. Some were more adept at attacking fighters, but others were designed specifically to bypass shields and bore through capital warship armor in an attempt to shut down the vessels main power grids, both of these kinds were being loaded into missles that would release the droids upon destruction or nearing the enemy target.
Unfortunately for the Exterminator, it's massive size and movement had placed it directly between many of the enemy ships and the diabolical droids fleet. Whiel this afforded some protection to the fleet the Exterminator was taking a large brunt of the attacks. Many of the weapons simply exploded on the massive hull and shields of the ship, however some managed to get through and were playing havoc on the exteriors of the vessels port side.
The shields were suffering greatly and if something was not done soon, would begin to go out. IG-72 knew all of this and still he pressed his ship onwards. He wanted to be as colse as possible to the head ship of his enemy before releasing his deadly surprise.

The 18 star destroyers still pressed forward behind the Exterminator, firing away at the flagship every chance they could get, or sending tracking concussion missiles to skirt the Exterminator and mnake thier way towards the enemy vessels. The 2nd Super Star Destroyer hung back, firing any time a vessel might come into range, but otherwise ensuring that it did not become fully involved in the fray. . . .yet.

The fighters, meanwhile screamed through space attacking enemy fighters as fast as they could, firing upon them with their built in laser cannons, zipping and zagging about in ways that no living organic pilot couold do in attempts to loose any vessels that could be attempting to follow them, and then zooming in as close as possible to the fighters before delivering a solid blast of proton torpedos. If this did not work the ships were more than willing to sacrifice themselves in order to further the cause. Any time that a fighter became damaged it altered it's focus and began a furious seek and destroy method in which it could inflict the most damage possible with its inevitable destruction.

* * * * * * * * * * *

planetside. The 4 droids that were assumed to be protocol droids, but were as a matter of fact highly developed assassin droids, began to heard the prisoners out into the open and then after securing them placing them one at a time in different Gank governmental buildings and temples in an attempt to save as much of the world as possible-relying upon the fact that more often than not humans, for some reason, detested killing their own unless they were fighting them directly.

IG-88 meanwhile, had reached his ship and after powering it up, brought up the shields and zipped into space alongside the massive crystalinne warships. When those warships entered the battle He directed his craft towards the second super star destroyer.

[The Fedral Union]

Enemy fire struck the Beowulf shields with glorious results, energy crackled over its shelled blue and white form, a layer of shielding had seemingly failed the second layer taking up the rest of the volleys of fire. Inside the ship klaxons blared, the ship shook again and again, the massive heavy cruiser was absorbing punishment, Kane had enough of this he had tried to play nice but now wasn’t the time. He raised a hand just as enemy fire had ripped through two fighters like large two hundred meter frigates tarring them to shreds.

He shielded his eyes as sparks rained from various consoles that had burned out. The AI began to yell in to the neural link.

~Sir shield number one is gone, back up generators are coming online we got a lot of strain on shield number two!~

~All batteries, fire at will full power! Take us in closer!~

With that order the twenty ship fleet began to form in to three dimensional wedges the TAS Vanguard started to head up group two on the other side of the planet.

Engines roared to life as ships maneuvered to wrap around and out flank the heavier enemy star destroyers and super ships, full volleys of Artemis missiles roared to life from missile tubes across the fleet, thousands of them streaked forth guiding and deploying their deadly MIRV loads.

Shredder beams and pulse cannons activated with their full fury, space time distortions with glowing cores of absorbed super hot particles were streaming out in pulse after pulse towards the main enemy war ship, this was followed by volleys of sixteen meter multi thousand tone shells barreling towards the enemy at C frac speeds , gamma ray laser beams lanced out behind shredder pulses and beams ripping and crackling through space with their white hot forms, they barreled directly in to a pin point fire target on various enemy capital ships, this was no holds bar.

Every enemy ship in sight was targeted by the Beowulf and her massive amounts of weapons, point defense prism weapons and duster cannons pin pointed enemy missiles and fire upon them with blazes of beams and round fire. The Destroyer York town was hit losing her port shield, her armor quickly absorbed the blast and hit with a charred heavily scarred section of armor.

The destroyer responded firing a full fury of Gamma-ray laser fire shredder pulses and many Artemis missiles in conjunction with five inch and seven inch rounds. The crystalline ships were targeted with kentic energy weapons by all the ships, thousands of C frac rounds riddled the sky, high explosive warheads with cluster bomb-lets released several meters from enemy hulls.

Chaff and missiles containing dust, and reflective strips of diamond roared in to space exploding around Terran ships covering large areas of the darkness with grey dust. Shells roared out from cannon emplacements small and large. Machines whizzed and churned as shells were loaded from teleportation chambers inside the bowls of the Terran ships. The vanguard maneuvered closer and closer firing its ventral guns to the enemy bellow it.

Its shields were struck multiple times, Blair grit his teeth he saw the indicator of shield strength inch down due to constant hits. Multiple F-22 Long swords exploded in a fury of orange and yellow flames, Martinez watched as one of his wing men’s fighters had exploded spraying the area with deadly high moving shrapnel hit his shields he stayed true to the course his fighter receiving damage, several thousands of missiles ripple fired from fighter after fighter guiding true towards their targets, high explosive brilliant pebble warheads of the AIM-71C anti radiation missiles would explode in a shower of high speed moving bomblets.

AIM-112A continuous-rod warhead star strike missiles followed suit, the high durability metals and ultra sharp diamond coated rods capable of laying waste to several fighters at once, in conjunction with mini bomb pumped area of affect lasing rod anti fighter missiles could make for a deadly gauntlet of anti star fighter fire.

Martinez and Several F-36 fighters broke from their attack, the twin J900A Repeller turbojet engines roared to life at full afterburner, the fighters maneuvered barreling down against enemy fighters from the top and bottom , each of them turned facing slightly off to one side, missile after missile fired against enemy formation full guns active as they got closer.

Terran ships fought with a fury, another frigate exploded, hull bits flew away from it as pulses ripped in to its form, the Vanguard escorted by the destroyer York town and TAS Hathaway, a frigate began to push with a line of other ships behind them in to the enemies top arc.

Another strike cruiser task force similar in composition to the Vanguard force moved from the ventral side of enemy forces. Beams of energy rounds and pulses ripped through space from both formations seemingly sandwiching the enemy fleets. ECM and stealth systems from the strike cruisers, destroyers and frigates engaged to full power making it nearly impossible for enemy ships to lock on with guided munitions on to the smaller Terran ships.

The F-36’s with their adaptive armor had a similar system, since they were all silhouetted against the orb that was gank making it possible for stealth to be achieved against a hot heavy massed body such as a planet.

[F799]

OOC: goodness! nice post

IC: the star destroyers held their course, shaking with the barrages of energy slamming into their hulls. Soon enough some of them began slowing as the damage increased. But still they pressed on. Meanwhile, the Exterminator began to shake violently as it's port shields began to fail.
Taking this is as his signal IG-72 rushed to the escape pods and quickly set them all off, indicating the complete abandonment of the ship, but only he lept into the pod. Which jettisonned with the rest of them and made it's way to towards the second super star destroyer.
The Exterminator let loose the barrrage of buzz droids, the missiles being torn open almost instantly by withering enemy fire releasing the small droids which instantly (using small rockets) guided themselves towards the nearest enemy ship, where they quickly started to tear into the hull in an attempt to shut down the vessel completely.

The remaining organic aliens aboard the ship were unaware of their captain's escape, only knowing that the escape pods had jettison, probably due to a malfunction, given the massive attack being laid down upon it.

Back at the second Super Star Destroyer, King Falcon. all systems were normal. On the bridge, another IG droid, codenamed IG-88 (yes there are more than one) stood at command. Everything was going as he had forseen. With the Syndicate's fleet engaged in a battle that could result in it's destruction, and IG-72 and IG-88 on their way to the Motherbird, IG-88 knew that everything wouold work together for the betterment of his grand plan.
The King Falcon has had numerous portions of it's weaponry removed, leaving a small amount of superpowered weapons in their stead to repel craft that sought to take the king Falcon. The rest of the space had been dedicated to shields and hangar space. Deep in the ship thousands upon thousands more fighters, armed with everything from lasers to torpedos to warheads, hung side by side waiting to be activated and deployed should the worst happen and the Motherbird fall under attack.

[The Fedral Union]

The Beowulf was struck repeatedly again and again, secondary shielding was draining but still remained strong its third layer of shield was ready to engage. The shield around the Beowulf flickered in a white and blue flash of light as weapons fire slammed in to it bit by bit.

The Yorktown and Beowulf advanced taking hit after hit to their own shield grids, the Yorktown back up shields engaged just as several enemy pulses hit its hull. Flaming bits of armor flew off from various points leaving charred marks. The engines on the Yorktown roared to life like fiery streams particles flew out from behind moving the destroyer up passed the vanguard. Thousands upon thousands of full yield anti matter MIRV missiles flew from missile tubes, they clouded the sky exploding in furies of bright light and gamma-rays, tera-tons upon tera-tons of fire powerf were unleashed by multiple high yield missile detonations.

Beams of gamma laser fire with enough power to contact fission, lanced out in tandem with pulses of shredder cannons and disruptive beams.

Projectiles followed suit, a gauntlet of fire powered from each ship. Guns recoiled again and again as massive rounds accelerated from their barrels; the Beowulf’s hull was a flame with destructive deliverance, rounds pulses beams and missiles ripped through the darkness of space like demonic souls craving to engulf sentient life in a deathly fury.

Kane sat down on his chair, he placed his hands on his lap, his ship shook more and more as it was hit, sensors pinpointed various ships and again a full on strike was ordered thousands of weapons aimed at everything the cruiser could see.

Its main guns charged crackled to life, ungodly amounts of power began to pour in to it, the torrent of fire slowed from the heavy cruiser for a moment as it moved in to position over another enemy flag ship. A beam of pure white hot energy roared out of its main gun emplacement its two kilometer, its massive form distorted space as it moved space and time ripped at the seams as the massive beam barreled at light speeds towards one of the heavy flag ships. The hellish roar and high pitched waves of scanner disruption showed up automatically and would show up to enemy sensors.

Point defense fire of the fleet included long range bomb pumped Hard X ray/ gamma-ray missiles, brilliant pebble drones, point defense lasers, high yield 40 mm fragmentation rounds with dust canisters dispersing dust at high speed.

They weren't spammed but used more at pin point accuracy, they fired off from every battery towards enemy missiles and fires in streams instead of blanket cover giving the enemy an idea of how effective Terran AI was. Terran ECM had increased ten fold on all spectrum's enemy sensors would soon start to experience lock on issues, scanner issues and sensors input issues.

Like a demonic lance the beam stayed continuous for several seconds before the main gun discharged, the beams fire power was off the scale beyond possibly anything the entire Terran fleet could muster with their smaller batteries.

The cruisers weapons stayed silent for a few moments before reactivating, the fleet in the mean time continued to power massive volleys of fire from every battery on their flanking positions. Another frigate was toasted; it exploded in a fury of fire and debris.

Kane’s eyes glowed with a fiery passion, he clutched his fist, as the Beowulf opened up with its guns once more, thousands upon thousands of missiles shells and hundreds of beams and pulses from the Beowulf’s hull crackled in to space again with pin point accuracy they targeted enemy ship. Sweat beaded upon the admiral’s forehead he slumped back on his chair watching the glorious amounts of fire power being thrown around over Gank, the sky itself was a flame with fire and brim stone of multiple colors, the Day of Judgment seemed to have arrived for this little world. Chaos torpedoes followed every two volleys of anti matter missiles.

Trails of fiery destruction carved through the sky. Hundreds of missiles again flew out of the fighter craft from long ranges, Martinez continued to fire three missiles per volley homing in on enemy fighters. He fired all six of his guns four displacer pulses and two 30 mm EMG chain cannons came to life, EMG rounds ripped through space every ten round a tracer and several hundred tracers streamed forth from the guns towards an enemy tie fighters, pulses of disruptive distorted energy moved at the speed of light ripping through the sky. The F-36 talons nano scale projectors, sturdy design, and adaptive armor made it capable of challenging feats of maneuverability, As Martinez barreled down with guns blazing several of his wing mates strafed the group of tie fighters from each side gunning their engines balls to the wall turning on a dime letting them selves fly off at thousands of meters per second, their guns fired as they moved passed, as they got out of range short ranged AIM-90 Cobra anti radiation missiles flew from their internal bays jetting away at high speed towards the enemy fighter formation.

Blair was on his chair his eyes focused upon his goal in front of him, the Vanguards ventral batteries roared with a fury, missiles, rounds and beams along with pulses fired at full power with rapid fire. Hundreds upon hundreds of seven and five inch rounds were put on target, they flew at high speeds.
Blair as any commander knew, that a battle could be turned on anything from a simple tactic to fire power differences, the helix gun of the Cruiser was one of the most powerful weapons ever fielded by the Alliance, at full power it could reduce half a planet to slag instantly. The amount of fire power being pumped out by Terran ships was enough to crack and melt a planet’s surface after planet in single volleys but this wouldn’t be enough to win the day, he knew this required gallantry.

He slammed his fists on his armrests gaining the attention of various bridge officers; he called out to the AI barking orders through the neural link. ~Take our task force right down their fucking throats, all batteries give them hell, if these motherfuckers want to have fun, then we’ll give them fun after reducing them to the worthless slag they are and sending them to hell!.~

The AI nodded, she was surprised at such language, but Blair was an impassionate man. The vanguards engines roared to life the task force including the Yorktown and Concorde (Both Solaris class destroyers) turned at brake neck speed their forms silhouetting and ominously blocking out the stars above the enemy fleet, they turned their batteries continuously firing, their engines pulsed with life as the ships barreled down at high speed towards enemy ships main guns and massive missiles firing off from Terrran batteries.

Blair s sweat dribbled from his fore head, the Vanguard and fleet would turn at the last second giving the enemy a nearly point blank dose of full broadside fire with full yield weapons. The ships shook as shields were hit again and again with enemy fire, a bit of the vanguards hull was charred as a pulse hit through its shield before the secondary kicked in an instant after.

OOC: First AWESOME POSTING TFU!!!!
Admiral Vox and his ships were not faring particularly well. The constant yet incredibly accurate barrage meant that they penetrated parts of the outer armor before it had a chance to regenerate. Vox watched helplessly as one of The Ravager lost hull integrity and broke apart. His own ship had suffered the loss of 30% of gunports and missile tubes Fortunatley, due to the mostly autonomous nature of the ships, they only required a small crew, but any loss of life was tragic. He shouted orders to the two Hive class ships

Release all landing parties at the Beowulf!!!

What appeared to be hundreds of missiles launched from the ships. They actually contained XiChung, Asuaws bioengineered insectoid soldiers. No doubt many would be shot down, but the ones that did reach their intended target would latch onto the outside of the ship, and attempt to burn a way through the armor to the inside, releasing the soldiers. This was a desperate move as Vox had no idea if this would work. Each of the Hive class ships contained 1000 XiChung, and each boarding party carried ten, so hopefully numbers would overwhelm where power could not.
