[Piethrixia]

Piethrixian Naval Training Base, Mars 18:00 Hrs

"The Piethrixian Empire has expanded to control over 5 solar systems, some of which required the Killing of other nations. For this reason the Piethrixian Empire has Gotten itself a large list of enemies." The Colonel presses a button and a picture of a planet (Or what once was a planet) Appears on a screen at the front of the classroom. "That. Was what happened to 10-2152B, when the natives revolted. They accidentally blew themselves up when they tried to use a Prototype Fusion-ALSNOAH Cannon." He presses the button again and a picture of a gaint spaceship appears "Your jobs, as recruits of the Piethrixian Navy is to protect our nation from enemies. Graduation from Basic training is in two days, so i hope you all know what ship you want. Who knows what ship this is?" He points at the giant ship. A Recruit Raises his hand. "Recruit Daniels, go ahead"

"The Piethrixian Will, Sir. It was Decommissioned in 0153, it was capable of using wormholes to go back twenty years in time. Last i heard it was somewhere in the Earth System."

"Very good Recruit, you can all begin to pack up, Tomorrows class starts at 9:00-" A loud Explosion rocks the Station. *All Hands to Battle stations, we have aliens inbound.*

The Colonel Opens a drawer on his desk and takes out a PAF-SMP "Everyone get to the armory. NOW!" He then runs out the door and gets shot in the chest by some sort of Silver arrow. Daniels grabs a medkit from the wall and drags him into the room, locking the door shut behind him. He then removes the arrow and applies a bandage. "We need to get him to the Medbay, Quick." He drags the Colonel to the wall "You two." he points at two recruits in the front row of the Classroom "pick him up and follow me" He grabs the Colonels Gun and Kicks open the door.

Piethrixian Naval Training Base, Mars 18:03 Hrs

Daniels Kicks a Green Humanoid alien in the face and shoots them in the head with a pistol. "The Medbays over there, get him into there!" The two recruits rush the Colonel into the medbay "Get him onto the table" Daniels Grabs a Needle and jabs it into the Colonels chest, the hole left by the arrow begins to heal. Suddenly one of the aliens bursts into the room, it fires a beam at one of the recruits instantly killing them. Daniels Sprays the alien with his gun, he continues to shoot it as hit falls to the floor. "We need to get to the Hangar" He presses a button on the wall next to a screen, the face of one of the other recruits pops up on the screen."you guys need to get to the hangar, there should be a few ships-" The Recruits head suddenly falls to the floor, the face of one of the aliens fills the screen. "You will die, then the alien smashes the comms device.

"Lets go, Now!" He opens the door to the hallway and begins shooting aliens. the other recruit follows with the Colonel.

Piethrixian Naval Training Base, Mars 18:10 Hrs

"Theres the Hangar, I think i see a dropship and a fighter left. You get into the dropship with the Colonel."
Daniels Runs towards the fighter and jumps in, he quickly turns the ship on and takes off. He launches a missile at an alien ship, instantly destroying it.
Suddenly a giant ship slams into the station. Destroying it.

PAF Command, Vers 20:01 Hrs

"The Naval training station just went off long range radar sir. We got a distress call from them."

"Play it"

"This is the Piethrixian Naval Training station, We are under attack. Requesting immediate reinforcements" Suddenly an alien comes up behind the comms officer and stabs him in the chest, The alien says four words before shutting the transmission down. "You will all Die"

"Its the Xindi. Notify the PDA And the UPA, Tell them they are all in big trouble!"

19:00 Hours - New Firestone Naval Base, Southern Evander

It's a rainy day. Clouds and fog fill the sky, limiting visibility, as people rush around, desperate to get indoors.

Just 7km east of the city center lie the docks. Under the watchful eye of the President, an 'Amur' class SSBN slips out of her ties, and silently heads out into the evening.
The President turns, and walks purposefully back to his motorcade. His job fulfilled, the head Admiral steps up, and addresses the small crowd of officials.
"I want an escort for each boomer - these take priority. All other warships are to return home, including those in orbit, until further notice."

An hour later, a burst message is sent to EAF headquarters, and relayed to the rest of the armed forces.

[Estigolsela]

Estigolselan military research lab, Alpha Centauri A asteroid belt

Admiral Norman LeGuin, commander of Estigolselan First Expeditionary Fleet was talking with head scientist Alfred Kazlo.

-Is the interdictor ready for combat?-admiral asked-Piethrixian command says that we are in big trouble, and if they are right, I want to have all the forces we can muster at my disposal.

-Well, the technology is unstable, but it won't explode, for sure. Almost sure. Worst that can happen is for generator to suddenly turn off. If we send sufficient crew to maintain it, interdiction field will remain at full strength, unless some systems are critically damaged. I think it is ready for field testing. Don't push it too far though, cut the power if the device loses stability.

-Good. I will send you the crew to learn how to operate this battlecruiser. Is there anything I should know prior to weapon's deployment?

-Well, yes. First, the ship is lightly armed, but we put extra armor and shields on it, but don't put in on the frontline anyways. If it stands in the middle of the fleet, it will be enough. Interdiction field will cover should cover whole star system, no matter when you are. Secondly, the field takes effect seconds after the generator is activated, but it takes around seven minutes to disperse when power is cut, so be careful not to trap your own forces. Oh, and give us feedback on how the interdictor fared. If the technology is stable, we will install similar devices on planets and major battlestations.

-Good. This ship will prove a great asset in the war, if you don't overestimate its power. You can go back to the research.

After dismissing the scintist, Norman looked out of the window. Outside, nearly completed interdictor-class prototype battlecruiser was having some final armor plates and scanner arrays welded into place by shipyard workers. Massive silthouette of this ship did not stand out from any avenger-class battlecruiser employed by Estigolsela, besides from low numer of weapons, apparent only after detailed scanner sweep. Its specialty did not lay in its small armament, neither did it lay in vessel's increased armor and shields. Its defining feature was mobile interdiction field generator, stuck deep inside ship's hull, near the command bridge. Interdiction field was upgraded version of aging subspace snare, planetside construction used all over the galaxy to prevent ships sieging planets from escaping once aid arrived. There were however number of differences between old snare, and new interdictor. FIrstly, the prototype was much smaller, able to fit into battlecruiser, while old equipment was a whole complex of FTL drive jamming technology. Despite its much bigger size, subspace snare was noticeably less effective than interdiction field generator. It could only anchor ships into subspace, preventing them from using FTL drives that relief on space-time manipulation or interdimensional travel to propel ships. It couldn't however stop ships from going into faster than light speed without leaving our dimension. The fact that FTL travel was far more dangerous than interdimensional jumps did not stop warfleets from escaping subspace snare range, and then engaging safer methods of interstellar travel. interdiction field on teh other hand was able to stop any matter of interstellar travel known in the galaxy. This did however coem at the expense of high resource cost, huge energy requirements and unstability of the field. There was also fact that close proximity to natural gravity well was likely to comprmise interdiction field integrity, shutting it down, and thus planetside interdiction fields were not an option. Subspace snares on the other hand relied on planetary gravity to function, and thus implementing this technology onto starships was impossible. Still, Estigolselan scientists and fleet command were optimistic about prototype technology and its potential applications as mobile FTL denier. Fact that it had to be mounted on relatively vulnerable starships or space stations did not dim anyone's enthusiasm. Snapping out of long train of thoughts, admiral LeGuin exited shipyard control room and headed for the hangar bay. In the hangar, he passed beside five fighter prototypes, three of which were burning, and entered his shuttle.

-To my flagship pilot. I need to make some important calls.

As his personal spaceship took off and flew towards Estigolselan fleet, Norman was wondering what was that Piethrixian call to arms for. But their command seemed really panicked, and everyone knew military officials, especially Piethrixian, are not easy to scare. "Well, better safe than sorry." admiral thought, as first battleships and carriers slipped into vision range. Mobilizing Estigolselan fleet, although certainly not the biggest in universe, was still a terrifying power, thanks to its top-of-the-line equipment and extensive training troops recieved. Thoughts flew through Norman's head, as his shuttle landed in hangar of ESNS "Luna", Estigolselan aircraft carrier and LeGuin's flagship. "I will need to call Piethrixians and get a few more details out of them." admiral thought on his way to bridge.

[New Minitopia]

Minitopian Defence Colony, circling Eros

Grand Admiral Sarkov, Leader and Commander of the Miniopian Expeditionary Force, was overseeing the production of the new kind of destroyer that would lead Mintopia into a Golden Age, along with the drives for new kinds of craft for the defence of Terra.
A young left-tennant ran into the Overseers Command. delivering a message.

-Grand Admiral, the Imperator requests your presence in the War Room.

Not taking any chances, the Grand Admiral ordered the boy to tell the Imperator he required another hour of time to prepare the war fleet.

The huge vessel being constructed above those new destroyers was called the Quaestor, and would be the crown jewel of the fleet. With re-enforced amor and dual reactor shields, the ship was protected well, along with missiles, plasma projectors, energy replay cannons, and a new weapon that could rip through hulls like tissue paper. That was the reason why he had slowed down the production line. The massive rector needed to power the ships enhanced systems and engines, along with the previously mentioned upgrades, was taking a while, due to 6 back-up reactors needing to be installed.

-Message from Flight-Leader Titus

His display cut through the silence, he hastily looked down, wondering why the 'Red Baron 'of the Minitopian Navy dare worry.
The recording played, and what followed was terror, and the alarm being activated.

- Grand Admiral! There everywhere! The *Static* are here! We need to retre-

The transmission ended. The last reactor was lowered into the Quaestor despite the alert. The Minitopians were ready for war.

RSS Sakhalin II.

Captain Nikolai Laikan,The Captain and Leader of 3rd Space Navy Fleet,Guides the Space Navy Fleet Comprising of 2 Yakuita-Class Destroyers,And 5 Kolodny Fighters as their Escorts,Laikan Chambered a Tiberium Assault rifle,A New Weapon which Fires a 9.4 Tiberium Round,A UAV Operator Comes with Terrible news.

"Captain." the Operator Said.

"Yes?" Laikan Responded,Tiberium Rifle in hand.

"Comrade Andrei needs to Speak."

Laikan Went to the Communications Office of the Destroyer,He Turned it on.

"Greetings Comrade Andrei." Laikan Said.

"No need,Anyway Things have gotten Pretty bad in Space."

"And?"

"Here's the Situation,Operator,Bring it up."

"Yes Comrade." the Operator said.

on the UGV Camera,There would be Static,Except for some Interruptions with the Sounds of Gunfire,There came an NRFSC (Neo-Russian Front Space Corps) Private,Screaming into the UGV's Camera,Saying "WE'VE BEEN AMBUSHED! I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE CAN HOLD AGAINST THIS AMBUSH!" Whizzing Bullets Interrupted him,he Turns around,Looking back at the Camera,"WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS NOW!" As he Turns around,a Russian M1A1 MBT Is Destroyed,and A UH-60 Black hawk Transporting Engineers and Repair Specialists Goes down,"WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS NOW,OH SH-- THEY'RE CO-" the Private is Stabbed in the Head by a X.

The UGV's Camera is Punctured,Ending the Transmission.

"We've Also Recieved A Transmission from UPA HQ,We're Fighting 'Xindis' as they Call them,We need to Mobilize now."

"Roger that,Laikan out."

Laikan Turns around,He Tells his Second-in Command to 'Ready the Guns'.

"One Question,What are we Doing here? Why are we Here?"

[Estigolsela]

ESNS "Luna", Estigolselan flagship

Beeping of unanswered comms and admiral's irritiated foot tapping were two loudest sounds filling command bridge, lodged deep within "Luna's" hull. This has been sixth call unaswered by Piethrixian command.

-Goddamn it, why aren't thy responding? This crisis can't so bad Piethrixia has already fallen.

-Sir, our outposts report multiple distress calls intercepted from our allies.-communications officer alerted

-Well, at least we can get general idea where do these aliens come from!-angry admiral responded-Patch us to the Russian command. We can't fight the invaders without any info goddamn it! Ask them for any information they can give us about alien tactics and weapons.

[Piethrixia]

A Transmission Bursts out from the Piethrixian Homeworld of Vers.

"This is Piethrixian Armed Forces Command. Somehow the Xindi has overpowered the planet's defenses" An explosion sounds in the distance. "The Emperor is presumed dead. I am the highest ranking person alive on the planet at the moment." The glass wall behind the man shatters. "I am activating a nuclear explosion at the core of the planet. Hopefully, that will destroy enough enemy crafts to spare your forces some time to regroup." He types in a code onto a computer, then he presses a button. He Salutes the screen. The Transmission ends with an explosion.

PAFFS - Emperors will, Earth System

"Get us to Vers... Now"

The ship and its fleet around it warp towards Vers at the fastest speed possible. The following battle destroys all but one ship. PAFD - Enterprize.
The ship warps out of the battle just in time to spare its life.

[Oppermenia]

A young soldier named Jon Neddard, in an Oppermenian defense vessel, receives the transmission from Vers. He is horrified by the message. It was the scariest message he’s ever heard.
He contacts the highest Oppermenian Commander, Admiral Oppenheimer. “Really?” Says Oppenheimer. “You really got a message that said that?”
“I’m not making this up,” Jon says.
“I’m not saying you’re making this up, I’m just trying to make sense of this.”
Jon, feeling like he’s not getting anywhere, plays the transmission for the Admiral. The Admiral then gets serious. “We need to tell Oppermenian Command.”
The Admiral sends a message to the Oppermenian Command Center of the transmission. Pretty soon, this travels up the ladder to the Prime Minister, Michael Stein. Knowing what this getting put could do, he decides he’ll do whatever it takes to keep this quiet. He also orders strengthening of defenses, so they can fend off any possible alien invasions.

[The Russian Nations]

Laikan Turns the Communications on,He Sees the message,He Notifies Men Under his Command to Contact Comrade-In-Arms Andrei.

"What is it?" Andrei Asks,A Worried look on his Face.

"The Xindi have Overrun Vers,We're Sending in The Fleet there."

"And For what Reason?"

Laikan Shows the Transmission.

"Jesus Christ,Mission approved."
The RSS Sakhalin II's Fleet Warps to Vers,Meanwhile Comrade at arms Andrei Orders Defense Systems and Ion Cannons Online.
Laikan Braces for Impact as the Ship warps near Vers.

Meanwhile,Andrei Recieves a Transmission,He Decides to Inquire about the Xindi Military Tactics.

"To All UPA Allies,this is Russian Comrade-At-Arms Andrei,we Ask you about our new Threat."

"Where are we,Why are we Here?"

[Estigolsela]

ESNS "Luna", Alpha Centauri system

After long waiting, Piethrixians finally sent small data package to Estigolselan command, containing scarce information on Xindi weapons. Strictly speaking, these were only some vague references to alien fighter and one capital ship type, with little actual hard data, but it was something.

-That isn't really that menacing.-admiral LeGuin said to communications officer-Are you sure you did not mess up data transfer?

-No sir, this is all the data Piethrixians sent us about Xindi invaders.

-Hm. How did they manage to compete with any actual warship, is beyond me. Just look at it, barely three types of weapons, only one that can be reliably used on long range, although ill-suited for this role, their main fighter has laughably small range and their FTL speed is just four times lightspeed! Come on, travel from Centauri to Earth would take them a year! This can't be the actual data! Goddamn it, fine! We can go to combat with pathetic excuse of intel!-admiral turned on the holocom array, transmitting a broadcast to fleet-We are moving towards Earth. All combat vessels converge on Alpha Centauri A wormhole generation station.

[Evander]

RES Troubadour - off the coast of Evander

"Sir, we've received a burst transmission from the Piethrixians. Yes, it's urgent, sir."
The head Watch Officer snatched the paper from the lieutenant, and looked it over. "I'll be right back" he said, as he turned and walked towards the Captain's cabin.

7 Hours Later - RES Montezuma
The sound of jet engines screaming filled the air. The sky was clear, although the waves weren't as kind.
Flight Ops had been proceeding for a few hours now, after receiving a message from one of the missile cruisers on patrol. Piethrixia needed help, and fast.
Although there wasn't much to be done on Earth, yet, Armed Forces Command had put all branches on high alert.

A Lone Piethrixian Cruiser Floats in space.
"Sensor Check."
"Clear, just like the last time you asked."
"Good, I can't believe they took out the planet so fast."
"I know, I heard they just appeared out of nowhere"
"Really?"
"Yea Dude, they just appeared"
"That's impossible, their ships are the way to small to have Cloaking devices"
"I guess so-"
hundreds of fighters and Cruisers appear around the ship, They open fire.

"Send that to the PDA, and UPA. Tell them to be ready!"

[Estigolsela]

ESNS "Luna", Estigolselan flagship, Sol system

Scanners began realying new data to holographic displays as Estigolselan warfleet poured out of aritifcial wormhole near Jupiter. Ships assumed positions, with battleships, cruisers and dreadnoughts forming defence perimeter around troop transports, suport ships, aircraft carriers and interdictor battlecruiser. Many frigates and destroyers were circling around, preapred to provide flak suport and watch capital ships surroundings, so they don't get surprised. Well-trained Estigolselaan pilots took off from starfighter hangars across the fleet, spreading out and supplementing scanner arrays is detection of eventual hostiles. Admiral LeGuin was suddenly interrupted by communications officer.

-Sir, Piethrixians have sent another data abount Xindi. They seem to have some sort of cloaking array on their ships, preventing detection.

-Cloaking systems you say? Well that is new. Scanner jammers were certainly not in use for fifty years already.-LeGuin's voice was full of sarcasm-And even if they really can't be detected, their warships are still incredibly weak. Poorly armed and slow. We could just blitzkrieg their territory, and they wouldn't be even able to respond due to horribly slow warp speed. Whatever, go back to your post officer, you shouldn't be worried.

Admiral turned towards large holotable in the middle of command bridge, displaying scaled down overwiew of the system. Only things visible besides Estigolselan fleet were planets and some primitive PDA interplanetary spaceships.

-Admiral, I have overheard your conversation with communications officer.-computer voice sounded from speakers mounted in the walls-I think that I know how we can mitigate Xindi cloaking devices.

-Ah, Data, its you. Of course.

Data was "Luna's" on-board AI. Nearly perfectly mimicking human behavior, episodes like that were happening on board several times a day. Technically admiral should have sent Data to command, so they could get him back in order, but he has already came to like the AI. Although often annoying, Data was helpful and friendly. Playful AI has became integral part of ship life on "Luna", and not much people on board could imagine serving on this vessel without Data interfering with it from time to time.

-There are many ways one can hide his ship, and when used several at once, it is almost impossible to detect the ship by conventional means. However, one thing there is no way to hide is gravity signature. Every object has its gravity, even warships. Its just so weak that sensors on standard setting can't pick it up. However, if we raise sensor sensitivity to maximum on several battlecruisers, we could potentially detect starhip gravity. This will be even easier if Xindi use artificial gravity, as there will be no way to mistake asteroid for a starship this way. Detector ships would then relay the info to other vessels, and we could be essentially battling normally then.

-That is actually a good idea Data, you are a genious!

-Yeah, I knew that.

-But detector ships would have to fly without gravity sensors then.

-This can also work the other way around. Any other vessel could share its sensor data. I mean, this is pretty obvious solution. Piethrixians should start doing it once they found about enemy cloaking devices. They Must be giving marely any processing power to their shipboard AIs if none of them came up with this.

As Data finished laying out his plan, admiral LeGuin sent out orders to four different battlecruisers, to move inside protective perimeter formed by Estigolselan dreadnoughts. Once the ships were in place, Norman told their crews to set their detectors according to Data's guidelines. Once again he thought, that repelling this invasion wouldn't be as hard as Piethrixians claimed it would be.

Orion Terminus
Insurrectionist Space

The Orion Terminus was small, considering it's objective. Only two ships were able to dock at any one time and the station had a penchant for malfunctioning airlocks which hampered the docking processes. Despite it's small size, it performed it's tasks well enough, trade had grown exponentially since it's construction and even after it's capture by the Insurrection it remained a trading hub for the entire Orion Spur. Hundreds of ships arrived daily, unloading cargo or taking on various goods to ship across the galaxy. Many would consider the Terminus vital to the Orion region, so when the station mysteriously went dark it caused a panic across many worlds. Several attempts to raise the station by Insurrectionist, Civilian and Imperial ships alike had failed, so a single frigate was dispatched by the Insurrection to investigate.

Stuyaiz III
Remembrance Class Frigate
First-Captain Liam Kata

First-Captain Kata was a warrior, veteran of many battles both in the void of space and on the surface of many worlds. He had killed a Harpy with his bare hands and wiped out a whole Imperial Platoon with just a pistol; he had commanded ships in space that captured an Imperial Carrier and disabled an Archangel Dreadnought, he had been noted by name in Duke Alastair's honour list. He was a hero...

And he had been sent to scout a space station.

The sheer depravity of it all, to take a warrior away from the field of battle and order him to clean up some civilian's mess. It made him sick to his very core, but he followed his orders anyway, like a good soldier should. His complement was a single battalion of Insurrectionist soldiers, rookies they were, except the squad of Firemen he had taken on at Y'Takavr III after the destruction of an Imperial Relay Station there. One of those Firemen was behind him now, a Sergeant by his markings, but he had never given identification of any kind. Much to be expected from such a murderous lunatic as he. The Fireman's helmet made a grating noise, which Kata had learned was whatever was inside that massive bodysuit clearing it's throat, then emitted a harsh whine before beginning to talk, the voice a deep monotone:

"The Orion Terminus is ahead. We are ready for boarding."

Kata simply grunted, the thing probably still understood him, they always seemed to anyway. They were like robots, clunky and uncaring, although Kata swore he heard one of them laugh as it beheaded a Fusilier, a sort of hollow, grating laugh that hid a terrible emptiness inside. The Fireman trudged off, metal boots clunking against the floor in a perfect rhythm, presumably to prepare to slaughter wholesale anything that may be aboard, and many other things besides. No matter their mission, Firemen always managed to return covered in blood, usually of the enemy.

As the frigate drew nearer it was clear there had been an attack, the steel grey hull was patched with black burns and various indentations. The upper deck of the station had a single large gash through it's side that leaked a blue plasma into the void. As the frigate drew nearer, scanner pings lit up, showing around twenty living targets amongst around a hundred dead.

"All soldiers," Kata activated the ship's intercom, his voice broadcasting crackled and loud across the entire ship, "we will be going into combat against unidentified forces on this station, ready tow cables."

The ship was within half a kilometre now, enough that the plasma cloud that had now formed around the station begun to burn the ship's viewscreens. Four ports opened on the port-side of the ship, 8 metres in diameter, and vented white gas before launching four cables terminating in massive metal claws. The four cables embedded, wrenching open the hull of the station, and releasing their payloads of Insurrectionist soldiers into the station.

"All units, cleared to engage alien menace!"

Arentador
Archangel Class Dreadnought
Sol System
Orion Spur

A series of tears opened just beyond Pluto, bright purple swirling masses that seemed to scream even through the void of space, screaming the names of those who had witnessed them open. From the tears emerged various sizes of vessel, from the smallest blocky frigates to a single vast black and gold starship that glistened from the light of the system's star. 37 ships had emerged from the tears, before they closed with an audible wail that echoed across the system. The vessels passed beyond Jupiter within ten minutes, engines blaring bright orange and leaving behind glistering trails that lit up the void. The lead vessel, far larger than anything else artificial in the system, broadcast a message, audible through every speaker device in the system:

The forces of Duke Alastair and the true Irenton Empire have arrived! This territory is now under official rule of Duke Alastair and the Irenton Insurrection, all who resist shall die.

Suddenly the ship disappears and appears ten metres to the left. "What the heck? Is that Xindi?" The Captain Scratches his head. "I think it just teleported suddenly."

[Oppermenia]

Oppermenian leadership is concerned about the threat of the aliens coming, by those reports. They haven’t told their citizens, and made sure with everything in their power that it didn’t get out among their citizens. They just don’t want panic. But with the threat becoming apparent, they can’t tell their citizens, but they can’t ignore it internationally. They need to build defenses.
So, Prime Minister Michael Stein calls for a meeting with the world leaders of the Planetary Defense Slliance, to discuss how they will build up defenses against the alien threat.

[Evander]

In order to speed talks between members of the PDA, Evander formally invites the leader of Oppermenia for a diplomatic visit.

[Oppermenia]

In order to speed talks between members of the PDA, Evander formally invites the leader of Oppermenia for a diplomatic visit.

Prime Minister Michael Stein formally accepts.
He is given no trouble as he goes, since the nation isn’t focused on what he’s doing at a meeting. They’re more focused on what the royal family is doing.
