I.U. Act One: The Voice of the Gods

[The Orson Empire]

Cyphia

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.

Cyphia

The battle began to rapidly go in the favor of the Covenant. Although many soldiers had been killed in the beginning, Covenant reinforcements were brought in, and they rapidly overwhelmed the soldiers defending the listening post. Firefights had erupted all inside the building, and despite having no combat experience, the soldiers performed well. Once the Gate Knight and his forces sealed themselves in the command center, they began to slice through the doors in an attempt to bust in. However, the soldiers did not know that the core was going to be overloaded, which would result in the destruction of the listening post.

The soldiers had also managed to destroy the shield generator, meaning that the entire planetary shield had dissipated. Upon hearing this, Admiral Veshren immediately ordered the bombardment to resume. The ships complied, and they launched a bombardment that was more intense than the first two. They targeted the outposts, and the bombardments were also powerful enough to pierce through the ground and destroy any installations that were underground. Huge fireballs from the bombardment could be seen all over the planet, and it was so intense that it caused miniature earthquakes that could be felt around the planet.

[Nazeroth]

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.

Hubo Protectorate: Nazeroth Designation: Valgoth

As the fires of doom tore through the sky the black king uttered a small psionic whisper to the black wizard declaring this worlds new name: Valgoth. In orbit above the planet what few militia and police vessels the colony could muster were slaughtered, though they were able to destroy a single Gorc warship with their firepower as well as a suicide run. Now burning slugs slammed into the surface kicking up kilometeres of smoke and dust and ice. Hellish transports began to carry thousands of Gorcs and warrior slaves, Human and Xeno alike, to the surface. The transports were simple and rugged, like most Nazeroth vessels. They were essentially large decks with hordes of Gorcs stacked high sleeping as cryogas filled it's decks, meat wagons of war. The communication buoy was wiped from existence as scatter shot by super heated tungesten pellets riddled it to pieces from a Gorc warship. As the transports tore through the atmosphere the dark banner of Nazeroth was deployed from the craft waving with fury. Crude ground attack aircraft would soon begin to strafe the inhabitants with projectile weapons and sometimes napalm hell fire.

War horns crafted from long dead beast's tusks blurred a deep bass into the skys above the city, bringing medieval style ambiance to the citizens below. Kul-Darath, black wizard of Nazeroth grinned a sickening smile beneath his hood as black oil dripped from his lower jaw which had been completely mechanical, a shabby cybernetic job performed in the deep pits of Nazeroths nano-shops. He connected with his dark lord through psionic emitter.

" My lord we have begun our assault, they are helpless against us...mere lambs to the slaughter, may they fear your iron fist..."

As Gate Knight continued entering the proper codes for the Core to be Overloaded, he began routing both Emergency and Primary Power to the Core, even routing remaining energy from the Destroyed Planetary Shield to the Core:

In the Command Center of the Listening Post, the Blast Door retracted open, the power being rerouted to the Core Generator, allowing the Covenant Troops to enter the base with relative ease, the Clone Troopers who had set up a barricade near the hallway to the Core Room were in position, with a few Sentry Turrets that were brought online, waiting for the Covenant Troops to rear their heads, the last stand of the Listening Post Defenders was going to be a fiery one, the Clone's would take the Covenant Troops with them in their last stand.

Gate Knight would then emerge from the Core Room "Alright Lads, we have Sixty Seconds before the Core explodes, i've disabled the Alarm System so the Covenant Infantry will not know of it, their scanners should not be aware of it due to the fact that the Core is Layered with a Scrambling System that prevents unauthorized sources from detecting the status of the Core." Gate Knight would then raise his Blaster Rifle "Let's go, we will win this day in death, we shall be the ring that will echo to the Republic and warn them of war." Gate Knight said, he and his Clone Troopers taking cover behind of the Barricade, waiting for the Covenant Troops to come to them.

[New Armarzia]

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?"[/align]

Urnath, Archon of Demons
Hosts of The Houe of Demons
The Last House of Demons, Llanvyre


Urnath sat on the opposite side of the table and made a sharp whistle that caused the white feline that was creeping behind the foreign man to stop inching towards the man and quickly dash over the table to the Archon of Demons' side. The Archon began to stroke the back of the spotted feline's neck as he focused his attention on the foreign representative. "One of the Seekers of this fallen house has learned that your people seek warriors to assist in your wars. And the fallen houses always seek combat if only to prove their worth as Raikites , the Raikites are people of war, transcended to be members of the New Armarzia for the purpose of war. But now New Armarzia no longer fights any conflicts on the field of battle, so the fallen houses look elsewhere to prove their ability. So the House of Demons would like to be the first to offer their warriors to fight your cause and prove their worth if you would allow it."

Darkysis, Patriarch of Demons
Seekers of The House of Demons
The Sanctuary of Loyce Eleer, Old Armarzia

"One minute till landing," said the pilot over the ship's comms. The nine Seekers made up of seven four-armed Raikites and two two-armed Raikites began checking their equipment and putting magazines in their rifles as they felt the ship rapidly decrease in speed. The Patriarch simply waited as the ship slowed and the doors began to open to reveal a ruined walkway and the sides of towering buildings that were slowly being eroded away and covered in different kinds of plant life.

"Ten seconds till drop," boomed the speaker as the ship stopped slowing down and merely lowered its altitude till their was only a few feet to the ground. After ten seconds has passed the nine Seekers and The Patriarch all jumped out of the corvette which immediately began to speed up and sharply turn up to gain altitude. A second corvette quickly flew by dropping eight Seekers and a pilot operating a mechanized suit standing a little less then twice as tall as the Raikites.

One of The Seekers immediately pulled out a tool that seemed to be a remote with four-inch square screen that began to display numerous numbers and flashed white at a steady rate. After a couple of seconds in which most of the Seekers had their weapons razed on alert The Seeker operating the tool announced, "We're clear, no bio or electro signatures." The Seeker put the tool away as the rest of The Seekers lowered their weapons and began scanning their surroundings; it was a walkway of an Old Armarzzian city. Though much it was covered in vegetation, the signs of a past war were not entirely covered: the walkway was littered with craters from explosive, gaping holes were on the sides of buildings, and the rusting armor of warrior in the battle past laid strewn about near makeshift battlement.

The lead Seeker, symbolized so with a set of armor that had horns instead of a large headpiece and a white mantle instead of a cape, spoke up and said, "Aniso and Jurissa, take your Seekers and push along this walkway to the North. We are heading for the temple at the center of the city, scans did report bio signatures in the area surrounding the temple so be on your guard. Electro signs didn't pick anything significant up, but still tread lightly." The head of the Seekers turned his attention to The Patriarch and said, "I'll follow behind with my personal party and sweep the area for anything of note and value."

The Patriarch responded, "Bring glory back to our House," and then walked off to join the group of eleven Seekers getting in a formation to begin traveling down the pathway.

The Prince took note in his head. He almost smiled. He now claims he wants to protect us. We can protect our self if need be. The Prince waved his hand. In front of the group an image appeared. Texts and photos about the Vortukian goverment appeared. "You do not think that we know? The question is what we do not know. We compile data on every civilization that we contact. Reports filed, charts made and trends detected. We are quite aware of the Vortukian political situation as we do your own. The Vortukian administration is one of war. That is clear. However this drive has its flaws. They are a target of other civilizations. Now let me ask you something. Are you their errand faction? Are they too busy to be here with the parties that rescued this female? If they desire data they will get it. Everyone will. That is what we do. Oh, all of this information we have on all of you is free to copy. We desire for others to know." The Prince looked up at the data. "Sadly too many civilizations desire armed conflict."

Medical Bay

The doctor flinched as the female made contact with the doctor. The organic parts of him where fine, but the electronic components where temperately overwhelmed with the sheer power the girl had given to the system. Within the moment the doctor recovered. Physical contact. She did not respond like she knew what I was saying before contact. Something happened and now she does. Noted.
"I will be with you on the planet as well. Let us take leave. I must warn you that many have questions about you. You where found on a planet and taken off. There are many questions. If you do not desire to answer them let us know. We will respect your privacy." With that the doctor held out his hand. He would guide her to the shuttle that would take them to the planet below.

The Grand Moff smirked and then chuckled for a short moment "No my friend, we are not their errand faction, we are fully independent in our decisions, i am here because Republic High Command ordered it, the Republic is not exactly like the Vortukians, we do not pride ourselves in war, we try to keep the peace, we try to keep war from breaking out, and of course, here i am, willing to do something for our ally, now i don't desire anything out of this, but i am not exactly sure any of High Command wants something out of this, but rest assured my friend i am trying to promote the alliance that resides between the Vortukians, the Korosians, and the Republic."

As the blast door finally retracted open, the Covenant soldiers charged in, shooting at everything in sight. Grenades flew everywhere, and there were large explosions. The Covenant soldiers were so full of adrenaline that they didn't notice that they were also accidentally shooting at each other in the process. Then, 60 seconds later, as the core finally reached critical mass, the entire listening post suddenly exploded, and the entire Covenant force was wiped out.

In space, Admiral Veshren had been monitoring the battle when he suddenly lost communication with the soldiers. "What's going on down there?" he asked.

"Sir, the entire base just exploded. We do not know if there are any survivors."

"Yet another setback!" the admiral exclaimed. "We needed to secure that beacon so that the Republic would not know of our presence here. Now we have lost the element of surprise." The admiral then sighed. "Someone contact High Command. Tell them we secured the planet, but we failed to obtain the beacon."

"Welcome to Klandulor, ambassador," the Overlord would say. "I have been expecting you, and I have much things to discuss. However, I would preferably like to finish this quickly, as time is of the essence."

The ambassador decided to take a seat in the corner of the room and watch. He would let the Overlord do most of the talking.

Nor did she rest on her laurels, the Imperial military prided itself as being a meritocratic as possible.

As the guards walked away, the Overlord would press a button on his holocomputer. The door then closed shut.

The Overlord then began to speak. "As I am sure you and the Emperians already know, the Covenant has been in a cold war with the Dark Jedi Republic, who is a rival of ours. Recently, this cold war has turned hot. We have amassed a large invasion force that is now in combat with the Republic's military on the planet Cyphia, which is located on the outskirts of Dark Jedi space. Seeing as we have a military alliance, we are asking for your assistance in this war, as we suspect the Republic has other allies that will get involved, which will complicate our efforts."

[Imperialisium]

Klandulor

The Ambassador nodded, and relayed the information to Zaleria who shifted her feet and held her arms. War was never a laughing matter, especially with political tensions already high.

"The Vortukians would never intervene unless we ourselves did. At least not directly. However, if the war is already hot it may be to late for communiques. Everything will be presented to the Emperor and the Imperial Senate. I have no doubt great aid will be given to the Covenant. Also the Empire will send military forces if the Imperial Senate and Emperor allow. This is a lot you are asking from us Overlord Sian. It may have massive repercussions and forever change the status quo."

Reserdan
Emperor's Observation Dome
Emperor Sanji Masaki

In the Aftermath of the Coup De Tat, Reserdan still remained in a lockdown, all the Shock Trooper Divisions being deployed at Key Government Instillation, the Emperor's Observation being covered with at least 100 Shadow Guards patrolling the area, the Emperor's Observation Dome was under a mandatory lockdown, with Shadow Guards enforcing this with lethal force, the only people who were allowed in the Observation Dome were Sanji's Brothers, Kenji Masaki, and Grand Admiral Quimond, no one else was allowed to gain access to the Dome, even Sanji activated Emergency Powers, allowing him to bypass the Senate with relative ease.

In the Skies of Reserdan, Emperor Sanji's Personal Transport flew towards the Emperor's Observation Dome, accompanied with 10 ARC-170 Starfighters, with many more Ground Transports stationed on the Landing Pad of the Observation Dome, along with 20 Shadow Guards standing on the Walkway, the entire planet was under a Lockdown, but among all of the Government Buildings, the Observation Dome was the one with the heaviest protection, no chances were being taken.

As the Shuttle Landed, the 10 ARC-170 Starfighters broke off positions, landing in nearby Landing Platforms. Emperor Sanji would emerge from his Shuttle, clad in nothing but Black Robes, his head the only thing not covered in Black, his expression was dark and blank, how the hell could a Coup take place with his own allies, he was unsure, but this time, he was going to get to the bottom of this, one way or another. Continuing to Walk, the 20 Shadow Guards split off, allowing Sanji, with a company of 6 Clone Shock Troopers, following him into the Observation Dome.

As he walked through the traverse halls of the Observation Dome, all of them with active Security Turrets, he would finally enter the Observation Dome, Ryaku, Myaku, Kenji, and James Quimond standing by a Holotable, Quimond making gestures as he started talking to both Premier Richtofen and Mand'alor Foley "- How the hell could Mandalorians and Reichians gain access to the Senate Schematics, the only people we entrusted with it was the both of you, and they seemed to understand the schematics pretty damn well." Quimond growled.

Premier Richtofen sighed in annoyance "Quimond-" General Krukov would warn through a secondary channel "- You know good and fucking well that the Communist Reich does not seek your downfall, if it weren't for any of you, we would still be under the Fourth Reich, and the Dark Jedi Republic would have never existed, plus, i already communicated with the Tri-Tech Corporation, they have told me that they did not even assist in planning in this Coup." Krukov replied in anger.

Mand'alor Foley would then stand up "I called a tribal meeting between all the Mandalorian Tribes, and none of them had active family members involved in the Coup, they did not even expect something like this to happen, and my Mandalorian Revenants were never stationed on Reserdan, if that had happened, then i will personally come to Reserdan and allow myself to be executed, that i promise you." Foley said sternly.

Within moments, everyone would quiet down, as Sanji would sit on his Throne, his own Holographic Projection appearing, Sanji would turn his throne to face the glass window of the Observation Dome "First off, i could care less of the Coup against me, i know both the Reich and the Mandalorians far too much, they would never betray us, if they did, then we would have fallen in the first year, but even through the First Galactic Cold War, we managed to stay together by sheer will, however, we also have another problem, the Chodosian Covenant, that nation has invaded Cyphia and overtook it, but my Throne automatically transmitted it to me, it was sent out to me first before the High Command retrieved it." Sanji sighed in annoyance before his expression took a very serious turn "- I've learned through my mistakes of the Revolution, i was too merciful to our enemies, but now, we must be aggressive, we must take a Vortukian Personality to this war." Sanji's Throne turned to face the group before him "We strike with no Mercy, we shall strike back swiftly at the Covenant, we are to first set up our Trap at Cantri, that is the closest planet to the Cyphia System." Sanji stated sternly.

Colony Under Siege

The humans were in dissaray, no one had dared attack them, not even pirates since they had become a Vorutkian protectorate. As a result they had gotten laxidaisy with their defenses. Most of their defenses were flimsy, old and poorly used by rag-tag militia who did all they good to try to block incoming ordnance while disorderly citizens ran chaotic throughout the street, unable to properly react to the sudden shift from serenity to explosions every few feet. Within minutes, their defenses had been overrun...but something else was clearly obvious.

The Meeting

The man's fingers touched one another and he did not speak. He was clearly deep in thought, he only stared at the alien before finally leaning forward a bit and speaking. "Your offer interests me, as it is noble to wish to prove one's self in battle. Bodies are always needed for the Sovereignty. There are many conflicts we can task you to. Some easy, while others will require cunning, and your best soldiers."

Siege of Hubo/Valgoth

The world was torn asunder before the helpless people of Hubo as the very sky crashed and burned around them. The sky curled from distant atomic explosions outside the megacity, destroying any suspected militia strongholds or simply tactical nuking outlying towns. What came next disturbed the minds as large transports landed on the outside of the city, their large ramps unfolding revealing the hordes of darkness that were the slave army of the Nazeroth. Blurs of red eyes shifted in the flashes of war and chaos as the Gorcs hordes began to pour into the city. A Gorc light tank pushed itself into a building, the reckless design belched smoke from it's ineffective engines, chasing down unfortunates in the rubble. Those that surrendered were quickly stripped and beaten or were taken away. Firefights broke out throughout the city as militias began to pound the invaders on the ground, however they were not nearly enough to stop the rolling black tide of Gorcs and other slaves of the immortal lich god, the black king of Nazeroth.

Even as their world was torn around them the banners of Nazeroth were already being displayed on tops of the remaining government buildings, little more than huge tattered black flags created by the Gorcs in honor of their slaving master. From the Earth came the horrific beasts of Gorgoth, they ranged from salivating lizard-like monsters whos skin was as hard as dark steel to titanic carnivorous deer-men whose dark fur was energy weapon resistant. From the sky came hideous fire breathing dragon-like beasts, being ridden by the dark lords slaves and weilding crude burst lasers to simply tossing down shrapnel bombs into pockets of civilians. Brutal acts were enacted, those that resisted or were thought to harbor other were left to the foul play of the Gorcs. Bodies were dragged in the streets, fed to monsters or butchered then put on display. Many a street contained rows of makeshift spikes, displaying the heads of the colonists.

As the sun set the sounds of distant battle from remaining pockets occurred. The lights had been long out now, with only the glowing eyes of Gorcs, marching of human and xeno barbarian slaves, howls of lurking horrors and snapping of lashes on their new found slave population. The black wizard soon had made landfall in the city and was touring the aching wasteland it was becoming. Some sections of the huge city were untouched and were where the majority of those who had escaped ran to. But every moment they were being pushed into the abyss. Kul-Darath put his hands into the air and spoke to his master, a wicked and demonic tone drifted from his lips, seeping into the psionic void that contained the essence of the black king.

" The siege has broken the colonists, I don't believe they were able to get a message out my king. Let us warm ourself in their burning!"

[Vortukia]

RECLAIMERS

It was clear that a unspecified third party existed as this colonies 'masters' judging from the layout of the land and the way the people fought. Some eerie questions would creep in, like why these people had not been taken sooner. What unseen force protected them? The Dark forces would soon get their awnser.

Space time rippled and shattered as a thousand or so ships leaped into the distance of the planet. These ships were different. They were much larger and much more advamced looking than amgthkmf seen on the colony. They were only fraction of a fleet ap much larger.

Dreadnaughts and Destroyers moved to the front of the fleet and fired a horde of volleys at the enemy fleet. Ordnance designed just to decimate ships. Carriers moved into two groups. One group stayed behind the front and launched Stigma drones, the drones would litterly become shields to intercept incoming ordance as moving flares in a sense. Others launched swarms of fighters and bombers who would pound the enemy fleet further. Shield ships moved I'm between the dreadnoughts and destroyers to absorb incoming fire. The one task theybwere designed to do. Bombardment ships and other smaller vessels pounded the surface on enemy concentrations to make way for landing parties from other carriers.

These landing parties landes on rooftops, key buildings and moved throughout the streets with amazing unity their qeaons would pack deadly punches. Their bullets accelerated to the speed of sound bybGauss Mechanisms, firing bullets of Tungsten and other metals that made a compact explosion on impact. It was clear these people were made for war.

[Segmentia]

Segmentia, capital of the Socialist Republic

The grand architecture of the capital was alight in the early morning, the workers and students and other residents going into the crisp morning air to start their days. Stores opened, schools filled, and the factories ground to life for another day of furthering the cause. One might note an increased number of city and State police out on the streets, especially around the University District. The reason for the increase was the visit of Zeina va Angelus, princess of the Imperian empire. The history between the Socialist Republic and the Empire was young, and ever since first contact there had been a 'friendly' Cold War between the two. The visit of the princess, as a guest speaker in lecture halls and other such institutions. As such, the State police were there as much for her protection as to ensure no unpatriotic thoughts imprinted themselves on any of the students and other guests, which included a few party members as well, and the son of Premiere Dimitri Golikov, William Golikov. No one would try to say a Golikov could be unpatriotic, William being a former captain in the Red Army, discharged because of medical issues, chiefly a collection of shrapnel around his spine, that even if removed had already cuased enough damage to nearly cripple him. William was also an educated man, and no educated person would miss a chance of such a guest speaker, especially not since the Socialist Republic was starting to look more to its surroundings, rather then just being a 'turtle'.

Grey Forge, Pirate infested moon

The ships of the Red Fleet hung in low orbit over the vibrant moon, the ruins of the pirate fleet and defenses cluttering the orbit, lighter pieces being pulled to burn up in the atmosphere. The fleet, the 1st Special Tasks Fleet, had waged a two month campaign against these pirates, who had been a plague on the systems for years. One ship in particular was in synchronized orbit above the 'capital' of this pirate moon, the SRS Winters Solace, the fleets flagship. On the bridge of the massive dreadnought officers and crew went about their usual tasks, though with greater discipline then usual, as there was a special guest on the bridge today.

General Natasha Trotzv looked at the holo-display with cold grey eyes, the pale woman was middle aged, though possessed a youthful appearance, her raven black hair was cut short, like regulations demanded. Her uniform was that of a normal general, a dull olive green with red trimmings and a few bits of gold embroidery, the left chest pinned with medals and ribbons. That wasn't what had the crew on edge, though, their admiral, though younger then Trotzv, was almost as well decorated, the tall man standing beside the general with a friendly smile on his face. A particular insignia was what caused that, and the generals reputation. A golden helix pinned on both sides of the general's collar was what caused that, the symbol of the bioweapons division.

"As you can see, general, there was no need for your team to infiltrate this moon last week. It was obvious these pirates had no ground based orbital defenses." Admiral Ostman said, waving at the display, though he secretly wondered why the woman was even here. Two and a half months ago she had showed up at Sevastopol naval station with a letter signed by a very high ranking member of the party which had basically made the fleet her own. It seemed like a standard operation when they were launched against the pirates. But the commanding general of the bioweapons division didn't show up to lead an operation against some pirates. And the covert infiltrators from the week before had brought a large amount of cargo...

"It wasn't to disable defenses." Trotzv said, interrupting his thoughts. She reached into an inside pocket of her greatcoat and pulled out a cigarette and lighter. Ostman frowned as she lit it and gently stuck the cigarette between her lips. Smoking was forbidden on the bridge of warships, but Ostman thought it smart not to correct her. As she took a drag from her cig, her right hand tapped at the console of the display, which slowly zoomed in on the last defense of the moon, the city that the pirates had called home. Ostman frowned slightly as the picture cleared up. He could make out the city, and then what looked like several mass infantry formations. They hadn't landed troops though, and even of they had, there were no vehicles, and the formations were more like...blobs then anything, no organization. "A test, admiral, of something we never should have created in the first place." A slight smile played at the corners of her mouth. "A test to see how our...refinements have progressed." She said, a puff of smoke rolling through the holo-display. Then they sat and watched as those blobs crashed into the city, and before long it was overrun. Ostman felt a cold shiver run down his back. He didn't know just what he had witnessed, but he knew it wasn't something good. And whatever had happened down below, it had been in his fleet. He suddenly felt the urge to order the entire fleet to begin a deep decontamination.

It was Trotzv slight shift that snapped him out of the slight trance he hadn't known he was in. She was turning to leave. "Burn it." She said. Ostman furrowed his brows as he turned to watch the womans back. "The city?" He asked after her. "The entire moon." She replied as one of the bridge doors slid open and she slipped out. Ostman looked around and noticed the entire bridge crew was looking at him. He swallowed and cleared his throat. "Signal the fleet to begin full orbital bombardment." He said and walked to his command chair. Several hours later at the former pirate bastion was nothing but a charred ruin, every last inch of the surface was black. A surveillance network of satellites was deployed around it, on orders from Trotzv, and the 1st Special Tasks Fleet slipped back into FTL, heading for home.

"If the Vortukians intervene, this would shift the war entirely in their favor," the Overlord replied. "We may be able to hold out, but it would turn into a stalemate very quickly. Thus, we will be grateful for this support, should your government agree to provide it."

Cyphia

Cyphia was now under Covenant control, as the defending Republican forces had been wiped out. The Covenant immediately got to work on turning Cyphia into a forward operating base. Prefabricated garrison bases were being constructed all over the planet, along with various spaceports that were meant to accommodate ships. Numerous ground defenses such as anti-aircraft turrets, anti-ship cannons, ion cannons, and a planetary shield generator were being constructed. In space, various orbital defenses were being constructed, along with orbital shipyards that could be used to build and repair ships directly inside the Dark Jedi galaxy, rather than having to send a damaged ship all the way back to the Cho'Dosan galaxy. Millions of Cho'Dosan workers had been brought in from the Cho'Dosan galaxy to do the building, while Admiral Veshren and his fleet oversaw the construction and continued to monitor the system for any threats.

Cantri

Several probes had been sent out to Cantri, the closest inhabited planet to Cyphia, in order to spy on its defenses, as this was the Covenant's next target. All of the probes were cloaked in order to avoid detection by any enemy forces. The probes scattered and scanned the entire system, collecting any useful information about the system and transmitting it on encrypted frequencies to Covenant High Command

Reserdan
Emperor's Observation Dome
Emperor Sanji Masaki

In the Observation Dome, the Emperor's Chamber was entirely empty with no one inside of it, only the exception of 10 Shadow Guards, however, the Emperor himself, along with his Brothers, and Admiral Quimond were in the Executive Command Center, Sanji's own Executive O.B.I.C Program Chamber, which allowed him full access to every Republic Fleet in the Dark Jedi Republic, and the Command Center was able to be used by many Military Commanders at the same time, for maximum efficiency. Sanji would sit on the seat that entirely resembled his own Obsidian Throne, while Quimond and Myaku sat on Command Chairs.

Sanji would then activate his Throne's Command Console, before speaking "Login Emperor Sanji Masaki, Passcode: Sigma452, Access Priority: Level One, Fleet Connector: Combat Fleet 225." Sanji stated, waiting for the command prompt to respond to his commands.

As Sanji's request was accepted he smiled "Well Quimond, Myaku, i'm waiting on you to enter your credentials to have our fleets regroup, try and keep up." Sanji replied with a smile. Myaku chuckled before looking back to his Command Prompt, opening his mouth and speaking "O.B.I.C Login, High General Myaku Masaki, Passcode: Bravo-Delta-Sierra-Whiskey-Tango-5-9-2-6-1, Access Level: Level 1, Omega, Fleet Connection: Battle Group 233, Sky Corps 227th Sub-Fleet, 115th Assault Fleet, and Blitz Fleet 341, please advise."

Sanji stated.

[New Armarzia]

Urnath, Archon of Demons
Hosts of The Houe of Demons
The Last House of Demons, Llanvyre

"The warriors of this great house will do whatever you require, even if it means almost certain death as long as just compensation is given to the house," said the Archon who gave a smile though the act really just looked as if the Raikite was showing his teeth. "The warriors that serve this house are all equipped with their own weaponry and we have a decent amount of equipment to support our own forces. Our equipment isn't the most advanced, our zealotry, fearlessness, and skill have always won us the battle over more advanced foe so there has never been a need to upgrade our equipment thus far. And, we have no navy, we have ship to transport our own men and protect the transports, but we can't fight any great battles in the vast ocean of stars. Some of the warriors do have some skill in boarding and taking ships, but those are usually just pirates or other scum that don't have battleships and dreadnoughts at their command."

Urnath tapped his index finger of his upper left arm on the table before saying, "I do not know how grand of a scale your conflict is or how many men you need. I must admit while The House of Demons is the most respected and influential of all the Raikite houses, it is not the largest. If your need is great enough, I can go ahead and repeat any offer you make to the other Fallen Houses along with the Risen House, I am more sure the other Houses would accept especially if the House of Demons join your service. "

[The Orson Empire]

Cantri

Once the probes had finished their scans, they warped out of the system, making sure not to alert the enemy on their way out.

Minutes later, the Covenant's 25th Fleet arrived out of warp on the very edge of the Cantri System. The 25th Fleet consisted of 20,000 ships ranging from small corvettes to large capital ships. It was an overwhelming force for attacking a single planet, but the ships would eventually be split up into their respective squadrons and be dispatched to different areas of Dark Jedi space once the war began to pick up in pace. The 25th Fleet was also carrying the 10th Systems Army, which contained 8,000,000 soldiers and would be responsible for defeating the Republic's ground forces and occupying the surface of Cantri. Essentially all of the soldiers in the 10th Systems Army and the 25th Fleet were fresh out of training, as they both had been reactivated several months ago in preparation for the invasion of Dark Jedi space. It would be their first test in combat, and the soldiers and personnel were very eager about the upcoming battle. They were convinced that the Republic was unprepared and would be crushed very quickly, but little did they know that they were about to spring a very large trap.

The ships move closer towards Cantri. Fighters and bombers were deployed ahead of the fleet, acting as a first line of defense should there be any retaliation.

[Imperialisium]

Klandulor

"What would you require in terms of assistance? Material? Manpower or both? All of this will be brought before the Emperor for due deliberation. I have strong reasoning that the Empire will stand by its ally. But you are asking a great deal, especially since you are the aggressor it seems."

All of this the Ambassador relayed back to Zaleria who simply nodded.

Segmentia

The Princess Imperial had arrived aboard her personal Corvette, Midsummer's Eve, and was currently down on the surface of the planet being entertained by Soviet functionaries in preparation for her lecture. The Princess starship much like its master was breath taking beautiful. Its silver-polished hull was adorns in golden edifices and bronze filigree. The Seradite lacing the ship was worked into figures, natural depictions, and exquisite patterns. It was 420 Meters in length and featuring 12 decks. All centered around the bridge and Princess chambers. So it was spacious as it was sleek and efficient. A testament to the art Imperial Engineers adhering to the traditional and dominant Emperian school of construction and design.

The Princess herself was ethereal in her beauty compared to humans. Her features seeming to be chiseled from some forgotten statue of a goddess adorning an old temple. Her unblemished, soft, and youthful skin adorned her lithe (but voluptuous in the right places) figure. She was well muscled, having served in the Emperor's Inquisitorius before being elevated to the position she now retains. Yes, she has seen combat, and one of the few to make it out of such without any external injuries that left a lasting impression. Her eye's betrayed the wisdom that her youthful Emperian body kept secret. Her eyes where piercing, like a bird of prey, and possessing a color of the coldest ice that seemed to glow with an inner fire that burned to a chill. A tinge of blue and green flecked her eyes, and accentuated her silk black hair clipped up in the back.

Unlike the Soviet counterparts the Emperians that she retained with her would look outlandish. The Princess was always in the ever vigilant eyes of the Legio Praetoria: The Emperor's Praetorians. Each one a vaunted warrior in their own right, but also capable diplomats and envoys representing the Emperor. The Princess at all times was escorted by at least a quartet of these warriors in their full livery; which, was disconcerting seeing as their livery was also functional combat gear. Their Electrum colored armor, Sun Spears, Great Blades, and intricate helms; along, with their colors of Red, Black on electrum edging, and gold made them out to be ceremonial. Only a fool would believe that true.

All told the Princess had 25 Praetorians with her, 21 on the Corvette and 4 always with her. Additionally she has personnel from the Diplomatic Corps, a few courtiers serving as aides, and her personnel A.I. Zona.

The Princess herself had worn her own personal armor when she had arrived. Her armor was functional, but made to look as if on parade. Her long and soft cape bore her colors of White-Grey-Gold with a Red Eagle clutching a sword and globe. A laurel wreath surrounded the Eagle in green silk. Her helm was plumed in the same colors and she bore many medals and citations on her armor. Her Honored Blade was at her hip.

For the lecture itself she was going to wear something rather austere. Simple white robes with a red sash and light blue veil that covered her lower face up to the nose.

Surface of New Engia, The Mysterious Girl

The woman was taken down to the orange planet below. She was given a window seat during the short trip to the planet surface. During which time she passed near massive ships and cities. Once on the ground she was walked down long passages labeled with blue. These where the cool rooms, where carbon lifeforms could travel freely without worrying. She was escorted by the medical staff and several guards that walked in the background. After walking over a glass bridge which revealed the booming city around the hospital the woman was brought into a room. It looked like a home, with a kitchen, bedroom, private bathroom and living room. However the living room was arranged with a table and chair. When the female entered the room she was greeted with a senator.

"Greetings, I am senator Hio. I have been sent here to ask questions about your rescue." The senator gestured to the seat. "Please, if there is anything you need, let us know."

Thrawn sighed in annoyance, now inwardly, this shit was getting to him, a meeting like this was going to take too long to handle, and he had heard of a Covenant Military Movement within their Galaxy, Thrawn looked on his gauntlet, pressing a button on it, within moments, three bombardment salvos hit the surface of New Engia, but in mostly uninhabited areas "Now then." Thrawn quietly stated, taking a sip of wine "My time here is running very short and i must be somewhere else, allow me to get to the point, if you don't hand the woman to us, i will glass this entire planet, and if you think i care about dying, no i don't care, my time is short as is, i'm going to give you 2 Minutes to decide before the planet is glassed."

Thrawn would then rise out of his meeting chair, walking towards the exit "Oh and be sure to think fast, my time gets shorter and shorter with the passing time." Thrawn sternly stated as he walked out of the Meeting Chamber, a ground of 6 Clone Shock Troopers escorting him out, as he would walk towards his Shuttle.

"Judging by the fact that you have to leave so suddenly i surmise something isn't going well. Searching The Engi i can see the stock market responding to a sharp decline due to some reason. I can only think of a few issues that would result in such a rapid stall. I don't think glassing a planet would help that." The senator smiled. "Also your prize is on the planet below. Glassing it would not also bring you into a two frontal affair but kill your prize. Now you are free to leave as you came. In peace. All the data will be sent and if you desire to see the woman in the future she will be free for you." The Prince sent a message to Engian command to take note of the warning. "Good luck in your current conflict."

Those FTL weapons are good.... This party does not want to enlarge a war and kill their target. Good thing the woman is on the planet.
