The combined Covenant armada left its rally point in Covenant space and came out of warp just outside the Dark Jedi galaxy, but they were still in intergalactic space. The Covenant had amassed a truly gigantic invasion force, consisting of hundreds of fleets and flotillas that amounted to 5,000,000 ships. The Covenant was throwing an incredible amount of resources into this invasion. The invasion force consisted of various types of ships, including everything from small corvettes to massive dreadnoughts, and it also included many supply ships which would keep the fleets fully supplied during their campaigns. Billions of Covenant Military personnel from all over the Cho'Dosan galaxy would be participating in the invasion, and for many of them, it would be their first time fighting a major war. They were all eager to begin the war, and most of them naively believed that they would quickly crush the Dark Jedi forces. For many high-ranking admirals and commanders, this would be their opportunity to test new strategies and tactics in the war.

Supreme Admiral Jaina Niam watched from the bridge of her dreadnought as the last ships arrived out of warp. Even she was amazed at the size of the armada, as it was a sight no one had ever seen before. However, she planned to use this armada carefully, as the war could easily start to go bad for the Covenant. She ordered Admiral Nikita Veshren to dispatch his section of the armada to Cyphia, a Republic listening post on the edge of their galaxy, in order to establish a forward operating base there. Veshren complied and his ships broke off from the armada and jumped into warp.

Cyphia

The 15,000 ships under Admiral Veshren's command jumped out of warp, scattered across the solar system the planet Cyphia was in. Veshren ordered the ships that were not close to Cyphia to form up and hunt for any enemy ships, while he ordered the ships near the planet to begin an orbital bombardment of the surface in order to take out its defenses. He also ordered them to move quickly, as they could not mess around. The Republic could send in reinforcements at any moment.

The ships used their cannons and missiles to attempt an orbital bombardment of the surface of Cyphia, but they did not know that Cyphia had a planetary shield....

The Grand Moff lied back, on his Gauntlet, looking back at his intelligence report of the woman, which was wirelessly provided to him by the ARC Trooper Captain, he looked up before replying to the Prince "My Engian Friend, i mean you no offense at all, but you should be lucky you are not dealing with a Vortukian High Admiral, they would glass a planet at a moments notice if they did not get what they want, trust me friend, i am trying to achieve this diplomatically instead of militaristically, but the Woman is going to be handed to the Vortukians, it may not be me, but eventually, the Vortukians will put their efforts into getting the woman, i am trying to achieve this as bloodless as possible." The Grand Moff replied.

The Prince looked at the general coldly. This man threatens to use a power he does not wield. He is wreckless.
"You speak for a party not here. If the Vortukian Civilization desired to have their men thrown at the confederation I think they would like to say it themselves. They can speak for themselves too. This female is a human. Under the Engian Confederation all sentient lifeforms. If anything the female should decide her path in life. I do take your comment to offense. We may not be a galaxy but we have powerful fiends. Those that do not threaten to strike us for being a third party in negotiations. Bringing up the subject of war is abominable. How do you know about this female? There are no records of her. She is a life form with rights. Don't speak of war, you bring shame up on your tongue."

On the barren world of Cyphia, where dozens of Ouposts belonging to the Republic, the Communist Reich, and even the Mandalorian Enclave were stationed on, only one of these Outposts was a Listening Outpost, Outpost 0521-3, owned executively by the Dark Jedi Republic, and also a underground transit to all the Outposts on the Planet, allowing Officers to go from one outpost to the other, the Outpost was overseen by a Clone Commando by the name of 'Gate Knight', his name serving him well as the protector of the 'Gates' or the Transit levels, willing to destroy them rather then allow any unauthorized forces gain access to it.

As Gate Knight would sit in his quarters, polishing his weaponry, fitting it with upgraded attachments he had just recently gotten from a Stockpile delivery from the Dark Jedi Republic, just about finished with his weapon right before the Alarm started blaring, a autonomous voice stoically stating "Planetary Invasion in progress, not a drill, Planetary Invasion imminent." The Voice stating. RC-7151 would let out a sigh, a short and subtle one, quickly rising grabbing his trusty Blaster Rifle, slinging it as he rushed to the Observation Deck of the Station.

Reaching the Observation Dome within mere minutes, Gate Knight would notice a huge volley of energy weapons falling towards the planet, quickly being repelled by the Planetary Shield, the Generator within the Listening Post remaining active, the sheer amount of Bombardment causing pulsations along the shell of the Planetary Shield, a Clone Sergeant "Mixer" looking up at awe "Mixer..." Gate Knight said, turning towards the Sergeant "Deactivate the 'Gates', and be sure to advise the Reich and Mandalorians on other Stations to set their Stations on Self Destruct and sent their people here by the Gate System, i have a feeling that the Covenant is really meaning this invasion." Gate Knight stated.

Thrawn sighed in apparent annoyance, the Prince was misunderstanding the concept, Thrawn was not threatening them with war, but was telling them that the Vortukians were somewhat relentless in what things they desired, they were a Galactic Superpower even beyond that of the Republic's expectations, and were centralized around War, just War, this is what Thrawn was somewhat weary about, there was almost no focus on art in Vortukia, seeing their way somewhat bland, Thrawn still respected them for their cunning and ruthlessness, replying carefully, Thrawn stated.

"My friend, in no way did i threaten you in war, the Vortukians are a centralized Government based in nothing but War, and they would go to extreme lengths for something that was a matter of their National Security, something that the Woman has been listed as, an importance of Vortukian National Security, they tried retrieving the woman before even the Engians, but for reasons unknown, they were unable to, so we went in, hoping to retrieve the asset, which we had no idea what it was, but we knew one thing, that the asset could be moved, so we made some assumptions, not knowing the asset was a woman before we arrived." Thrawn steadily replied.

City Prime
Malfunctioning Proto-Hive Mind

The proto-hive mind had finished construction of his vehicle and had quickly left the city, quickly taking to the skies to get to the other side of this small, rocky planet. He got there very quickly actually and had launched spores into the landing area. Within a couple of hours, he had created himself a bunker, cutting himself off from the Dominion and began rapidly pumping out constructs in his new underground base. He was also doing some simulations with atoms to make a new, flexible and super durable nano material of the likes nobody had ever seen before. Why he was doing this? It is unknown. Something had seriously messed with his programming. He was also working on a few other projects too. Though those would be a surprise.

City Prime
The Dominion

It didn't take long for the Hive Mind to realize something was wrong. One of his proto-hive minds just got up and left and then lost connection. He didn't know he did it himself or the poor bastard got caught in a storm and ended up getting destroyed. Those were the only two possibilities in the Hive Minds eyes. Either way, he would deal with it later. What mattered right now was figuring out this technology left behind for them, figuring out what to do with this 'Omnium' stuff and hopefully establishing a military force just in case of foreign threats. Of course, space was some time away. At least until they figure out this technology. Or he or one of the proto-hive minds figure it out first.

Cyphia

Admiral Veshren was watching the bombardment aboard the bridge of his customized starcruiser, which had more durable armor, better weaponry, and a superlaser that was strong enough to split a large ship in half, or just destroy it completely. He and the other ship crews had begun to notice that the bolts and missiles appeared to bounce of of Cyphia's atmosphere. Veshren now knew that this was going to be harder than he originally though.

"I want all ships to cease fire," he ordered. All of the ships complied, and their batteries fell silent.

"The Republic has a planetary shield installed on this planet, and it is keeping us from bombarding the surface," Veshren stated. "I want all capable ships to use their shield crackers to weaken and dissipate the shield. As for how strong the shield is, I am currently unsure, so you will have to guesstimate how many shield crackers are necessary." Some of the ships responded and immediately began to use their shield crackers on the planetary shield.

The "shield crackers" Veshren was referring to were EMP weapons specifically made to fry planetary shields, and these weapons were only carried by certain types of ships.

While the bombardment continued, transports full of Covenant soldiers and marines headed towards the surface of Cyphia. Their goal was to secure the Republic's listening post on the planet, so that it would not be triggered and keep the Republic from knowing that the invasion had occurred.

She did not know what the Doctor was saying, or even if he was medically oriented. But instinct told her to touch him. So she rapidly jolted and grabbed a part of his flesh, or external tissue. Immediately her physiology went to work and things flashed into her mind. Memories, experiences, everything the Engian had committed to memory was there. It did not hurt him, so she thought. It all happened in a flash of electrical energy firing off in his synapse. Most importantly, Engian language now transferred to her memory. She let go just as quickly.

"That would be nice. Doctor." It was eerily situational given the fact she had lunged and grabbed him only to let him go. Then all of a sudden she spoke perfect Engian without even a hint of a foreign accent? Her voice was honey sweet and enticing, but not a hint of malevolence would be nestled therein.

The language of English was not known to Zaleria, so she did not understand. But the Ambassador did know the language enough to be conversational and negotiate in it.

"Greetings." replied the Ambassador. Zaleria eyed the Cho'Dosian, taking in his stock. She stepped forward as if the Cho'Dosian where an inquisitive object. She raised a finger and pressed it against the Cho'Dosians chest with the intent of pushing him back.

This was an old Imperian (as in Imperia the Throneworld) method used by elders to test youngsters. If the Cho'Dosian backed up rapidly or showed any signs of cowardice, then that was not good. If the Cho'Dosian did not resist but backed away in a calm manner, it was a sign of respect to be reciprocated. If the Cho'Dosian resisted it was a sign of rudeness and brash attitude.

Then again, unknown to the Cho'Dosian the expression on Zaleria's face was one of amusement. She was curious, she'd never met a Cho'Dosian before.

The ambassador frowned as Zaleria approached him and pressed her finger against his chest. Such a custom did not exist in Cho'Dosan culture, and thus, he did not know what she was doing. However, the ambassador did not back up or show any signs of cowardice, as Cho'Dosans were known for not being easily intimidated.

The guards and the ambassador looked on, not sure if Zaleria could even understand what the ambassador was saying.

"Can you understand me?" the ambassador finally asked, breaking the tense silence.

The transports began landing several squads of Covenant marines and soldiers on the landing pad close to the listening post. The infantry then began to slice the blast door open so that they could bust their way inside.

As for the weapons they were using, the standard Covenant infantry weapon that was used was called a phaser- it was an automatic gun that fired bursts of highly-energized plasma that would essentially burn a hole through the enemy soldier that was targeted, often killing them instantly. Phasers had multiple power settings which increased the lethality of the weapon, but also used up more ammunition, made the gun more susceptible to overheating, and the gun had a shorter range. On the maximum setting, a phaser was capable of completely vaporizing an enemy soldier, but it would use up almost all of the ammo and the gun would take a long time to cool down. Other weapons used were automatic laser shotguns (which were meant to take down enemies at close range), laser pistols, sniper variants of phasers, plasma/fragmentation/EMP grenades and mines, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and various types of machine guns. .

Meanwhile, the orbital bombardment continued to batter and weaken the shield around the planet.

Zaleria removed her finger from the Cho'Dosians chest and said, "Ve." The Ambassador scuttled forward and spoke in Emperian to Zaleria very quickly. Zaleria also replied in kind, the Emperian language no doubt being lost on the Cho'Dosians.

"Commodore Zaleria was simply intrigued and wanted to see into your character. She does not speak your language, and thus I will have to mediate for her whenever a message from her needs to be conveyed." The Ambassador nodded to Zaleria who stepped back with a smile like something humorous had just happened.

The Ambassador spoke again, "Well, shall we get this underway?"

Up above, it was chaos within the Listening Outpost, Clone Troopers were scattering and entering the Armory, loading up on weaponry, RPG's, even Machine Guns, while outside 'Gate Knight' was standing on the landing platform outside, he was lucky that the listening post was on a steep cliff, or the Covenant would have had relative ease in taking this Listening Post.

As he stood, he stared at the Covenant Transports coming down to the planet, eying them, sensing the upcoming battle determining the fate of the Listening Post, "Gate Knight" would begin walking back into the Listening Post, watching as the Clone Troopers, Mandalorians, and Reichians were in the Central Command Center, waiting for Gate Knight to speak, as he walked up the steps "Initiate Lockdown of the Facility, deactivate the Tram Systems."

Gate Knight then turned to the Reichans and Mandalorians "Have your facilities been placed on Self Destruct?" Gate Knight would ask, the Mandalorians and the Reichians either saying "Yes Sir" or Saluting "Take up defensive positions around the entrance, fortify them with whatever you have, this facility must not fall, by any means necessary, we need someone to prepare to deactivate the beacon on my mark, we need to make sure the Republic is aware of the situation, move out!" Gate Knight shouted, the Clone Troopers, Mandalorians, and Reichians preparing themselves.

The transports began landing several squads of Covenant marines and soldiers on the landing pad close to the listening post. The infantry then began to slice the blast door open so that they could bust their way inside.

As for the weapons they were using, the standard Covenant infantry weapon that was used was called a phaser- it was an automatic gun that fired bursts of highly-energized plasma that would essentially burn a hole through the enemy soldier that was targeted, often killing them instantly. Phasers had multiple power settings which increased the lethality of the weapon, but also used up more ammunition, made the gun more susceptible to overheating, and the gun had a shorter range. On the maximum setting, a phaser was capable of completely vaporizing an enemy soldier, but it would use up almost all of the ammo and the gun would take a long time to cool down. Other weapons used were automatic laser shotguns (which were meant to take down enemies at close range), laser pistols, sniper variants of phasers, plasma/fragmentation/EMP grenades and mines, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and various types of machine guns. .

Meanwhile, the orbital bombardment continued to batter and weaken the shield around the planet.

Within the Main Hall that would lead to the Command Center, multiple Mandalorians, Reichians, and Clone Troopers hid along the walls of the hall, keeping hidden from any Covenant Soldiers who might move in, while in the Last Spines of the Hall, or the dividers that kept the troops hidden, Clone Troopers with Blaster Machine Guns hid, waiting for the right moment to attack "Gate Knight, prepare to route all power to the Shield Generator." A Clone Captain stated, keeping hidden along with his Clone Brothers "They're slicing into the Control Panel, get ready everyone!" A Reich Soldier exclaimed, all of the Troops readying their Weapons, hiding behind the Spines of the Main Hallway.

Inside the Command Center, RC-7151 was reconfiguring the setting of the station, realizing that when the Covenant had begun slicing into the Control Panel on the outside, it jammed the process of disabling the All Clear Beacon, The Commando let out a sigh as he begun disabling almost all of the power inside the Listening Post itself, isolating most of the Primary Power to the Planetary Shield Generator within the Station, and routing Emergency Power to the Security Systems, before entering the Executive Override Code to prevent the Covenant from changing these protocols.

As the bombardment continued, Admiral Veshren continued to watch as the shield crackers impacted with the planet's shield. Then, one of the members of the bridge crew turned towards Veshren and said,"Sir, it appears that they are increasing the power of the shield. Our bombardment is not going to be sufficient enough, unless we drastically increase it."

The admiral pounded his fist on the armrest of his chair. "Damn it!" he exclaimed. "We are going to have to do this the old fashioned way." Veshren then activated his com-link and began to give orders.

"I want all ships to cease fire again. This isn't working," he said. Once again, all batteries on the ships fell silent. "To the soldiers on the ground: you are going to have to find the shield generator and destroy it, preferably as quickly as possible so that we can give you support."

Back on the ground, the infantry received the order. While they continued to slice into the control panel, a platoon leader would say,"You all heard the admiral. We are going to have to search the listening post for the shield generator. I suspect it will be a tough job, as the listening post is full of enemy Republicans."

"Yeah, you think?" a marine retorted. "We are deep in enemy territory. What did you think they were going to do? Kiss our asses?"

"Watch your tone, marine," the platoon leader said sternly. The marine simply rolled his eyes and turned around. After several agonizingly long minutes, the door had finally been sliced.

"Prepare to break the door down and throw in grenades on my mark!" the platoon leader yelled. All of the soldiers backed away from the door and had a grenade ready. "Light them up!" the platoon leader yelled, as he and other soldiers quickly pushed the doors down and threw in plasma and fragmentation grenades before quickly retreating out of sight. The grenades went off, unleashing huge explosions in the main hallway.

As the grenades exploded, the soldiers saw rockets being fired from the Gate Night in the hall. For some of the soldiers, it would be the last thing they ever saw. The rockets exploded right outside the Covenant positions, shredding several soldiers to pieced and blowing others backwards. The platoon leader himself was blown backward, but he survived.

"We've got men down!" a soldier shouted as he rushed to retrieve the weapon that had been blown out of his hands. One of the shuttles had also taken a direct hit by the missiles, and it was severely damaged- it likely would not be able to fly again.

The platoon leader looked at the dead soldiers, who had become the first casualties in what would be a long, bloody struggle against the Dark Jedi Republic and its allied. He simply sighed and ordered,"I want everyone to put on their vision enhancers so that we can see." Everyone did so, and now, they would be able to clearly see inside of the hallway, and thus could respond better to an ambush.

The soldiers, having no other option, began to slowly move into the main hallway, stopping every few feet to look for enemies.

Operation Prosperous
"An operation meant to contact all mechanical beings, unknown to the Korosian Nation in order to unify a robotic state, enlarge the Korosian Nation, and eliminate any hostiles with the use of Obliterators and any large weapon."
-Korosian Archives, Era of X-5

Korosian Command Center, Marcadia, Koros
The atmosphere of the Command Center was cautious, as Korosian officials, mainly military prepared to establish a newer Korosian Nation, prepared for an enlarged war machine and the destruction of any possible enemy in the near-future. President Shockwave arrives with others to the circular-shaped room, made up of seats and holograms, bringing in a tense sense. He sits in the Presidential Seat, stationed in the middle of the room.
" Fellow brothers and comrades, today we will expand our state through several means. This of which include the contact of states partially or fully composed of sentient machines, the expansion of our armed forces, and the testing of military weapons, including of the Obliterators, and of Vortukian technology. The Vortukians will be explained thoroughly of this as well as other Prinarch Pact members. We, however will not include of the point explaining our contact of robotic states..." Shockwave stated.

"Traitor! We must destroy the Vortukians and pillage their technology! Then we will become great!" An official stated. Shockwave looked at the official and as if disappointed gestured for Medium Units to take him away.
"Let me go! This is a democracy you fools!" He stated as he was pulled away. A gunshot was heard outside of the room in which everyone else became silent.
"Anyone else?" Shockwave stated as he sat down and through the holograms each gave the officials instructions on the operation.
"The operation will commence as of now, dismissed." Shockwave stated as he walked out of the room with several Medium Units, with the former official still lying on the floor.

OPERATION; VALKYRIE

Archangel Standard Combat Gear

Many of the squads on the rooftop of the senate building finished setting up breaching charges, while other soldiers set up rappel hooks attaching them to large spikes drove into the rooftop. The squads circled around the charges and the anticipated hole, they were armed in standard gear, and using the basic issue Avenger Assault Rifle, which would pack a hard punch with it's heavy Tungsten Rounds accelerated by Gauss Mass Reduction technology.

The Archangel would spot the man in white, his AI scanning every inch of him before he vanished, he watched the residual atomic structure of the person using the AI in his mind to see where he exactly moved off to, be it teleportation or movement. The Archangel himself would be as if a absence in space time, non-existent. His being seemed to shimmer as the cloak of his armor took place and he used his blink drive to move to the center of the rooftop.

The frontal entrance would see around two squads of about eight marines each formed up in columns, the frontal soldiers waited for the command to move in that came only seconds later. Throughout every marines head communication system they heard ''Move in'' coming from the senior officer watching from a rooftop not far away.

The rooftop was erupted in a loud bang as many of the breaching charges detonated downwards creating a hole big enough for several soldiers to begin to rappel down, where others took cover at the top of the rooftop looking down the holes in a prone position with marksman rifles. Each soldier would find the nearest senator most as risk from a hostile trooper and fire at them. If they could not get a clear shot at their body mass of their chest, they would fire a kill shot. Sanji was grabbed by a unseen force that turned to be a Archangel pushing him out of his way as he moved to drive his blade into the scarred trooper. Seeking to immobilize, not kill.

The front saw the two squads moving in, one breaking off to the power generators, the other breaking off to link up with the main senate chamber.

THE MEETING

The man was in his armor, when he walked his seemingly fabric but also metallic coat swayed to reveal he was in fact armed with some strange pistol attached to his hip. He moved to sit down after taking his trench coat off and laying over the back of the chair, the view of his armor without the coat seemed to be that of one that was of some sort of body armor protecting major parts wile having softer more flexible armor on the area's that needed to be. When he sat down, he looked at the diplomat.

His voice seemed to be slightly electronic from the helmet, it's pitch slightly deepened but the voice other than that was surprisingly...normal. "You have brought me here to speak to me. Now that I am here, what is it you wish to converse?"

As the Explosives on the roof went off, metallic chunks started falling from the sky, how explosives were able to breach through Heavy Metal on the Senate's roof was incomprehensible to say the least. This provided the Emperor with the perfect opportunity to get away from his captor, but would be pushed aside by a Unknown Force, his eyes somewhat unable to detect the thing that pushed him out the way, but Sanji would jump off the Command Pod, slicing two Rouge Mandalorians in his wake, his presence would be accompanied by a Phantom Stryker Guard, who held two lightsabers in his hands, moving at unimaginable speeds, slicing Rouge Reichians and Rouge Mandalorians alike.

The Scarred Man would know that at the last second, when the roof blew off, his plan was at risk, but he would quickly notice a blur coming at him with insane speeds, quickly deactivating his Jetpack, attempting to escape from the Archangel, but the sword would quickly impale him through the right side of his chest, but he would chuckle, allowing gravity to attempt bringing him down to the Senate Floor, two stories down from the Command Pod, barely feeling the pain as the sword would begin to slice up his chest.

The Clone Trooper shouted, two of them firing off their Machine Guns, followed by Mandalorians and Reichians firing off their Rifles at the Covenant Troops as they began entering the base.

Confusion and panic began to set in as the Covenant infantry were fired upon. They were not all killed immediately, as their armor was built to withstand several shots before the armor was compromised. However, essentially all of the Covenant marines and soldiers in the battle were rookies- they had no actual combat experience. It was their first time ever participating in a battle. Thus, the infantry had to rely on their training in order to get out of there alive, but even this was too challenging.

The infantry scattered, while some of them who had been injured or killed collapsed to the ground. Others threw grenades in random directions and tried to charge the Clone Troopers firing the machine guns, only to be cut down in the process.

"TAKE COVER!" the platoon leader shouted. Then, a few seconds later, the platoon leader was shot 4 times in the chest, and he fell to the ground. He was severely wounded and on the verge of death.

[Nazeroth]

Hobu, Vortukian Protectorate


Hobu, a cold colony world of the Vortukians. A token to their dominion over this space, it was little more than an symbol of their grasp in this area of space. A frozen orb cast in white and blue with a metropolis dominating the northern hemisphere of the planet. The Southern half lay barren save for a few mining outposts and militia garrisons. This crystal ball would soon become the sight of violent strife at the hordes of the dark lord of nazeroth and of his endless minions. In system over a dozen Gorc warships tore through real space and poured out into our reality. A raiding fleet sent by the black king sensing the need to expand his divine right upon those around him.

The dark steel ships hovered near the edge of of the planets atmosphere, rapidly moving towards it to deliver it's hideous cargo and seize the planet in bloodshed. A black-Wizard by the name of Kul-Darath commanded the raiding party fleet, one of the Black Kings slaves, a psionic created from the essence of transhuman deity that was the dark lord of the black land. His body was part human part mechanical and he wore tattered black robes featuring heathenish symbols etched onto the fabric. He stared at a holo-orb of the planet on board the fleets flagship, a Gorc warship known as The Dark Grasp. Even now the filthy raliguns on their crude and sharp edged warships heated up to a demonic red orange to allow the use of hypervelocity slugs to be fired into whatever enemy was to meet them. Dumb rockets, burst lasers, dark matter torpedoes and other weapons were to be brought to bear on the future slaves of this world.

As the fleet moved forward a single message was sent to the metropolis on Hobu.

" This world now belongs to the lord of all, the immortal lich god, the black king of Gorgoth and the world of Nazeroth...Behold and Despair!"

OPERATION; VALKYRIE


Many of the soldiers moved Senators behind cover and on the ground to keep them unders harms way. The Soldiers would be on the offensive, acting as shock troops. They moved forward at the enemy soldiers taking cover and firing at them along the way. The escape of the entrance was blocked off as more soldiers streamed through it to join the fight. They had given up on the act of taking prisoners of those who were not already on the ground bleeding out. Now they were shooting to kill, and they were very good at it. Most of them veterans from anti-terror operations.

The Archangel's blade would have cut through the armor as if it was paper, using a combination of dark mater, refined Omnite, and nano-technology. It had left residual nano-machines that would begin to eat away at non-organic matter at the microscopic level. The Archangel himself blinked down to the floor the man was on. He did not move after the scarred man but only stood there looking at him.

In a robotic voice that seemed to be speaking with two different voices, it's pitch distorted as if it was long gone.
"You are not deemed to die yet, there is use for you. Surrender."

HOBU PROTECTORATE

The colony was that of humans who had been given protectorate status, the one of two colonies of humans given that status. Far from the mainland galaxy, or other colonies for that matter. It was far from the eye of Vortukia. Although not unnoticed with the comm buoy that was used to keep contact. Which was now going 'ape shit' trying to scramble out messages to a nearby fleet that was there for other actual Colonies.

The colony itself was a conglomerate of buildings, with towering buildings mixed together inside of a large wall surrounding it. There was no garrison stationed here, only a local militia using their own weapons for protection. Few aircraft existed and those that were, were very shotty and makeshift. People in the streets looked up at the hordes of rocketry and ordnance coming down upon their heads. Unsure of exactly what to do but run for cover. Many of the local militia moved to warehouses to gather their weapons and move to point defense systems to shoot up counter rockets at incoming ordnance.

As the Covenant Troops moved into the facility, Clone Troopers from the last spine of the Hall, would emerge from them "Alright You Cho'dosian Scum." A Clone Trooper stated "SUCK LASER!" The Clone Trooper shouted, two of them firing off their Machine Guns, followed by Mandalorians and Reichians firing off their Rifles at the Covenant Troops as they began entering the base.

Gate Knight would also emerge, firing off Fragmentation Grenades and EMP Grenades at the Covenant Troops, hoping to scramble their Vision Enhancer's, while pulling out his Dual Blaster Pistols and then beginning to fire off his weapons towards them "Hold the line and take no prisioners, destroy them!" Gate Knight shouted, more of the Clone Troopers emerging out of hiding and opening fire on the Covenant Troops.

Confusion and panic began to set in as the Covenant infantry were fired upon. They were not all killed immediately, as their armor was built to withstand several shots before the armor was compromised. However, essentially all of the Covenant marines and soldiers in the battle were rookies- they had no actual combat experience. It was their first time ever participating in a battle. Thus, the infantry had to rely on their training in order to get out of there alive, but even this was too challenging.

The infantry scattered, while some of them who had been injured or killed collapsed to the ground. Others threw grenades in random directions and tried to charge the Clone Troopers firing the machine guns, only to be cut down in the process.

"TAKE COVER!" the platoon leader shouted. Then, a few seconds later, the platoon leader was shot 4 times in the chest, and he fell to the ground. He was severely wounded and on the verge of death.

30 Minutes Later

As the Clone Troopers, Reichians and Mandalorians had made an impressive stand at the Listening Post, they were quickly running out of ammunition to defend the listening posts, and Covenant Troops were beginning to swarm the facility, even the Security Systems unable to hold them back for long, and with almost all of their forces killed, Gate Knight along with a few Clone Troopers began falling back to the Command Center, as they kept running, Covenant Troops began closing in on their Location, quickly jumping onto the Command Module, Gate Knight closed off the Blast Door, severing the Covenant from the Command Room, however this was temporary.

As Gate Knight let out a sigh, knowing the end was near "Troops, we are about to lose this battle for the Republic, the Covenant has us surrounded and with no way to contact our superiors, we will have to take the Covenant to hell with us, i am proposing we overload the core of this Instillation, so that when it reaches critical mass, the building will be destroyed, and so will the All-Clear Beacon, do any of you have any objections?" Gate Knight asked. One Clone Trooper removed his helmet "Sir, we are 100% with you, we would rather give the Republic a warning then let the Covenant expand silently into the Outer Rim." Another Clone Trooper walked up "Lets take these Covenant son of a bitches with us to hell!"

As Gate Knight and the Clone Troopers approached the Core of the building, Gate Knight would enter the Core Room alone, leaving the 10 Clone Troopers to defend the outside of the Core Room, while he would enter the proper calibrations to overload the core of the buildings "Set up a barricade, we need to hold off the Covenant Troops from getting to the Core Room!" A Clone Trooper exclaimed.

Senate Chambers

OOC: The Scarred Man would still be held by the Archangels Blade.

The Scarred Man looked at the Archangel, his vision turning blurry from the sheer blood loss he had gotten from the Blade Injury, he would not allow himself to be captured, he would die, for some reason, he hated the Primarch Pact and everything that it stood for, he would not allow anything to be said, with a smile and then a chuckle, he would reply with a raspy breath, his legs hanging "I would rather die than surrender myself!" He Shouted as he would, using all of his might, pushing himself off of the blade, and with nothing else to hold him back from falling, he would fall to the metallic ground of the Senate Floor, which stood Two Feet below him, crashing down to the ground, the crunch of his hundreds of bones could be heard.
