Name: UU-73.
Sector: 20.
Owner: Not claimed.
Adjacent planets in Solar System: None of importance.
Planet Level: 3.
Moons: 0.
Population: Null.
Dominant Environment: Highly volcanic planet, thick atmosphere of volcanic gas and ashes.
Resources: Massive amounts of shipbuilding metals detected.
Strategic Importance: Large supply of metals.

Planet UU-73 is a fledgling volcanic planet in a solar system of dead rocks. Oceans of molten lava bubble around it, giving off huge readings of precious ship-metal material. As well as on the surface, the hardened rock that gives the same readings. Whoever claims this will have a large source of metal for building anything from space stations and colonies to warships.

Let the claiming begin.

CAPTAIN "RANNOCH"

Rannoch stands up and takes a closer look at the sensors, he raises his hand to another unit near by and through high frequency noises it tells the unit to hail the ground team. Communications spike up for a short time.

"We fear the fate of our people may result in negative terms if we cannot come to a compromise."

The ground team is careful in its ways, though they do not feel the hotness and temperature spikes near the them. The units walk around, many carrying guass rifles, wary of possible lifeforms that may inhabit the planet.

The Captain nods, displaying an understanding on his expression that grows more solemn by the second. He folds his arms, calmly studying the mechanical being. His grey eyes dart over to a crew member at a console, who gives him a nod, looking back to his workstation with a look of nothing but concern.

"I assure you, there is nothing to fear from us. We do not seek expansion, rather the means to preserve both peace and our own existence. To speak plainly, the resources of the planet below."

If a unit could sigh, Rannoch would do so now. He raises his hand to his chest and taps it lightly. The "eyes" of the unit light up in a bright yellowish aura that illuminates the whole room.

"Then what will you have us do, we seek the resources as well as the planet."

===

The bridge of the Qetësi ship goes silent, all eyes and heads turning to the sheer graveness of the captain's expression. With a long sigh, he leans back in his posture. Another gesture follows, more intricate than the last. It's met with surprise, but the crew comply as fast as they can. They send a signal to their sister ship, which activates the long communications array on the exterior of the ship.

"Then we must ask you to stand down. We propose you occupy this planet once we have secured the resources. This is a compromise offered with respect, and according to the principles of our queen as far as we can lower our terms. We do not wish elevated levels of diplomacy upon you, friends."

Slowly, the Captain folds his arms, staring the visage of Rannoch down with as much strength he can muster in the face of such a conflict of interests.

Rannoch turns his head to the communications and holds a message up. The unit slams his fist into the wall, creating quite the dent in the ships interior structure. It pauses, then looks back to the other captain in on the direct communications channel.

"What resources are you asking to acquire?"

The Captain visibly jumps, quite startled by the sudden actions of the Saerid representative. Others around the bridge frown, the sudden violence taking a toll on their otherwise very peaceful day as they dip their heads and do the best they can to continue working solemnly. One female crew member places a hand to her heart, muttering prayers of the Eye as she re-seats herself at a console and closes her eyes.

Lo-Batejë, however, glances back to Rannoch with a determination found in those only mildly conditioned, "The planet below, we have surmised from our prior scanning, contains the very metals we have used to construct the ships that form our planetary vanguard; our first line for the defence of our peaceful existence. We simply ask we be allowed them, for the good of the eleven billion honoured souls I represent."

The Saerid captain can still be seen as "mad" and throws the message from his hands to someplace behind him. Releasing some vents in his armor, steam is visually seen leaving the suited captain.

"We also have need for these resources, given recent matters the Ursine have put on us. Is there no further compromise we can reach?"

Right after Rannoch releases the next volley of binary code to the captain, communications with a sector unknown open up, if they can pick it up. The ship starts to turn more active and begins to open many of the hangers inside the ship. The improved AI system on board activates some of the cannons and turrets on the ships exterior and awaits further orders. The weapons do not face the ships in front of them but do remain active.

"Despite the necessary precaution against you and your race, we hope this can be concluded in a beneficial outcome for the both of our races."

SECTOR #20, PLANET UU-73

Major rifts in the void begin to assume form some distance apart from the volcanic planet. And from their maws eject a series of

gargantuan entities, organic in nature. These beings emit no form of technological resonance that can be traced or located. They appear as nothing but enormous gaps on radar and scanning equipment, similar to meteorites. However, these gaps would seem shaped as creatures of unnatural origins.

The gaps, seven in total, slowly drifted in tight clusters toward the mineral-rich roaring hellscape that sat before them. They could be shrugged off and mistaken for space debris due to their dormant drift and lack of resonance, although a sense of suspicioun from the detection of a sudden warp-jump could be made. The shroud of the darkened void concealed them from visual sight, but the illumination of the burning world soon brought them into the light and revealed them as the nightmarish monsters that they truly were.

These massive leviathans bore the mark of the Sovereignty Empire scorched into their carapace, revealing them as servants of the dictating Validus. And as they were exposed to the radiant glow of the planet, they immediately awoke from their slumbering state and began to "swim" towards planetary orbit.

The Hive Fleets had arrived.

by Cakebread Thu May 31, 2012 1:22 pm

3 Bright blue Hyperspace fissures appear two klom away from the Saerid ship, 3 Destroyer size vessels start to tunnel out. The 3 ships get out of the fissures and they close.

3 Ushio Destroyer class ships, all bearing the Nichi Empire's Symbol on their sides. The stagger, allowing one to be the spear point and halt.

A com hail gets sent to the Saerid ship.

The Saerid destroyer class ship stands by idly, still having its weapons on active. They then turn their gaze to the unknown fleet that has entered the sector. The communications between the destroyer and many other ships nearby may be picked up on a sensor. They then open the communications to the Nichi Empire ships.

"Greetings, please await further details of your aid."

by Cakebread Thu May 31, 2012 4:19 pm

"Greetings, please await further details of your aid."
========
An officer at a com's console turns to Yori,
"Captain, the Emperor's hawk has checked out the distress signal and Is returning back to Nippon, should we send them a request to come here and help with the aid?"

Yuri thinks for a bit, remembering about his friend Yoshi, one of the most impressive death squad leader's for the Divine's Emperor's jihad against the shogunate.

"Alright, send them a request that follows,' Yoshi, We've been requested by an Alien nation to provide help with some situation, it seems to be a dispute over a mineral planet. The Nishi Empire will be recognized and we'll be lead to a League of stars after this, best to come down here and make a good impression ey?'"

Yori nods to the officer, a data burst in subspace gets shot.
Yori turns to his com screen.

The bridge of the lead Qetësi ship goes ballistic, shouts of incoming on the radar popping up suddenly. The captain looks over, wide eyed, before making a hasty bow and speaking a formal goodbye in his native tongue. Communications immediately cease with the Saerid, so quickly that the translator doesn't even have time to fathom it all.

The Selekë-Lorqit hails them, Lieutenant Balte tol-Qëse begging for a plan of defence. His request is met with a fearful denial, and the two ships begin a sharp, thruster-aided maneuver to turn around. They activate their defensive weapons arrays, but nothing else. Their main pulse turbine drives can be seen spinning up into full power, as they begin swiftly transitioning into a hasty, yet calculated, subspace jump.

"Jëto-te, telajëi!" the Captain booms, suddenly yelling. Though this causes many of his crew to look on him as if he were a mindless savage, all of them heavily conditioned to the thousands of years of peace that had existed before this, they obey and soon the two cruisers light up in the final stage of a subspace jump.

SECTOR #20, PLANET UU-73

The seven hiveships ceases their approach upon reaching planetary high-orbit and began directing their fronts towards the planetside. And without a word, without doubt or remorse; the largest of the hiveships open forth it's vile maw, littered with razor teeth the sizes of most frigates. It would be a grotesque sight to behold. It was as if the ship was literally splitting itself apart at the front, revealing a dark visage of teeth and imminent death.

The hiveship then commences an odd and disturbing convulsion, causing the ship to literally grow in terms of size. A series of colossal, armoured and barbed tentacles reveal themselves from the maw of the lumbering gargantuan, and begins to make their descent upon the planet's surface below.

While this process continued, the other ships of the hive fleet simply drifts in defensive clusters around their primary hiveship. The hive fleet seems ignorant of the presence of other races nearby - perhaps not deeming them a viable threat.

by Col Awesome Fri Jun 01, 2012 8:36 am

Off in the distance, the other ships may pick up on high energy readings in seemingly unoccupied space. A blue cloud of energy appears before glowing brighter and brighter until it eventually bursts into a blinding flash of light, an impressive battleship appears in it's place, bearing numerous religious looking designs over it's hull as-well as the emblem of the Templar. Following the battleship would be another, smaller cruiser and two destroyers all bearing similar designs and emblems, after awhile the ships begin moving toward the Saerid and Nichi craft though any scans would reveal that weapons are unpowered with shields up otherwise.

The battleship would send out a radio hail toward all of the Nichi and Saerid ships, assuming they accept an armored figure would come on screen, his helmet bearing two wings on either side and one of the back as-well as his suit carrying numerous golden designs and etchings, almost immediately he would speak in a friendly but gruff tone "This is Commander Ezekiel of the Templar Remnants, we've detected massive lifeforms around this planet..." he would seem to take a moment to look at some readings on another screen before turning back. "...Do you require aid with this nightmarish scum?"

Abruptly, the two cruisers initate an incredibly sharp turn, their weapons and communications array powering up to their maximum. On board, the lights of both bridges go dim, red lights replacing them as the ships accelerate to attack speed.

The Captain of the lead ship begins barking orders in Qetësi once more, to a receptive crew of those who stoically shield their emotions as their race is so adept at doing. On each of the cruisers, the three double-barreled turrets begin spinning their guns up, cyan lights flaring in sequence along the barrels.

Both the Sëjla-Imitlo and the Selekë-Lorqit come about, to face the Hive fleet that's by now incredibly far away in front of them. A close communication between the captains of both ships is established, after a long-range signal goes out to another location. Locally, a message goes out to all the ships in the area excluding the Hive in front of them.

"All ships, this is Captain Orel lo-Batejë of the Amalgamation Royal Navy. Requesting any and all assistance you can provide, we are about to engage the unknown aggressors by orders of our honoured Grand-Admiral. Repeat, we request assistance."

by Col Awesome Fri Jun 01, 2012 9:49 am

Ezekiel cuts his communication with the other ships quickly as the Qetësi message comes through, he signals for his crew to immediately head toward the Royal Navy ships as all ships of the Templar force move toward the Hive Fleet, though he keeps communications open with the Nichi and the Saerid. The various crews of each ship march in an organized manner to each of their stations, though the sense of fear could be noticed on most of them in sudden twitchy movement and shudders, Captain Strom leads the cruiser aiding Ezekiel's battleship 'Prayer of Atonement' with Veterans in command of the Destroyers.

The Commander sends out a radio hail to the Qetësi ships, hoping to get a response "This is Commander Ezekiel Belial of the Templar Caste Remnants, we have received your distress call and are moving to provide assistance."

"This is captain Rannoch of the Saerid Directive. We will assist you and your ships against this unknown threat. Plotting best coordinates for a strike. Please wait."

After a moment of silence a series of coordinates reaches each of the ships, the coordinates are based off their improved AI system on board their ship and offer one of many best ways to coordinate the attack with the amount of ships.

A Bright blue fissure appears a 1 klom above the Nichi fleet after the Qetesi send their request. It starts to glow brighter when a Captial ship, two cruisers and a destroyer tunnels out of it, when they fully gets out, the fissure closes. The Emperor's hawk and its squad halt, They appears to be routing power to its weapons.

Yoshiteru Kurita, the Captain of the Nichi Capital ship, turns to his com screen, sending a com hail to the lead Destroyer Nichi ship.

The Templar force continues to move closer to the Hive Fleet, after awhile the Templar ships get to a medium distance away at which point Ezekiel leans back in his Command Throne, joining his hands together as he looks over the grotesque vessels assaulting the planet. After a moment of apparent thought he turns to his Communications Officer "Open up a hail to the other ships, I have a plan." before then speaking to the weapons technicians "Begin charging the Lance, wait till my order to fire.". Assuming the other Captains accept the hail Ezekiel speaks once more, "We will fire upon their second largest battleship, I would like to suggest you join me in focusing fire, unless you have something else in mind.", as he says this the technicians scramble to press various buttons and flick on and off switches.

Outside armor plates on the front of the ship seem to shift and move, revealing a large barrel near the bottom of it. Scans would reveal that energy is spiking within the Templar Flagship, power draining from the engines and shields into weapons.

{Priority alert. Bio-signature imprints detected. Weaponized destabilization units; en-route for interception of primary node unit. Continued existence of primary node unit deemed priority directive. Disturbance toward planetary reconfiguration; unacceptable. Enforce sector denial.}

The entire hive fleet ceases it's movement and drifts slowly amongst each other. Across their armoured bodies, hundreds-to-tens of thousands of clustered optical eyes opened forth and began to frantically scan the area, and it didn't take long before they became fixated upon the oncoming aggression fleet. The primary hiveship, whose tentacles were spreading across the planet surface, began to deploy troops in large numbers through massive spore-pods that remained underneath the armoured scales.

Additionally, this gargantuan hiveship stretches outward, it's maw still spread apart for the tentacles to ensure planetary domination. However, it would begin to release powerful gamma waves that would effectively act as a jamming device. All radar, sonar and scanning systems would be rendered useless. The ships of the aggression fleet would be forced to fly blindly.

The three Ur'karash destroyer bio-ships line up in a wide wedge formation in front of the primary hiveship, the Orsora'uruk battlecruiser elevated above it to provide direct fire-support. The Krak'arath hive-carrier remains behind the destroyers facing a broadside, it being the largest ship in the fleet, most of it's structure is protecting the primary hiveship that is releasing the electronic jamming waves. It then open it's maw to release a swarm of smaller creatures which begin to swarm around the initial hive fleet in great numbers. Twelve thousand in total.

As the first rounds are unleashed upon them from the Saerid Directive ship and wash off against the hardened carapace of the Orsora'uruk in sizable scorch markings; all hell breaks loose.

Hive Adjutant wrote:{Aggression confirmed. Annihilate.}

The line of destroyers raise their six barbed tentacles and extend them in direction of the engaging Saerid ship, turning out to be massive cannons. With rapid succession, these bio-ships fire salvo upon salvo of superheated plasma bolts at high speeds. Additionally, they release (20 per destroyer) large organic "spikes" from underneath their "gut" in a -60 degree angle which act as missiles, spreading outward before making a broad turn towards the Saerid. These spikes are highly acidic in nature as well as swift and will digest ship hulls at an alarming rate.

Six large maws and tenfolds of smaller organic tubes extend from underneath the now-aggrovated Orsora'uruk battlecruiser's plating, unleashing a hellstorm of large and smaller plasma and acidic projectiles. In addition to the storm of scorching bolts, the battlecruiser releases swarms (80) of the same missile spikes as from the destroyers which move 70 degrees outwards before speeding up at both flanks of the Saerid ship.

Though they're significantly farther away from the hive ships than the other craft on their side, the two Qetësi cruisers level their main cannons in accordance with the calculated trajectories of the Templars' designated target and line up side by side. They leave a space in-between them, to allow their batteries of smaller defences to have as much firing space as possible. Surprisingly, they slow to an idle stop, engines barely moving them forwards at all before their gravitational anchors extend and root them to the spot firmly.

On board, Captain Batejë narrows his eyes, looking at the beginnings of the distant battle. With a sigh, he unfolds his arms and makes a short ritualistic movement across his chest with his hand which is quickly enacted by everyone on the bridge, praying to the Eye that they hold the strength to endure the conflict, and emerge from the violence safe. He finally gives the order to fire, laying two hands on the railing in front of him after practically forcing the words out.

"Ko-tëi!"

One by one, each of the 6 main long-cannons on the lead cruiser spins faster and spits a surprisingly fast moving ball of bright blue plasma towards the Hive battlecruiser. Each shot seems to literally shake the space around it, deep booms going out as the ships begin their bombardment with rapid, sequential flashes from the muzzle of each cannon. The sister ship then opens up with her own guns, a few seconds afterwards, letting loose their own superheated slugs to join the others in their long range flight.

by Hyperiant Sat Jun 02, 2012 8:26 am

As suddenly as with the appearance of the other empires nearby, two ships warp in, broadcasting a signal that identifies them immediately as "Xenosys." One looks like the spaceship equivalent of a tank, while the other appears to be little more than a glorified flying space cannon. The XFS Thor and XFS Longshot have arrived in the sector.

"Wow, looks like we're late to the party. I don't like being late."

"Augh...trying to claim it, or something. It isn't pretty."

"They seem hostile. And they're taking the planet. Why aren't you preparing the ships?"

"Because...er...on it. Ma'am."

Flagship Thor soars about, collecting as much visual data as it can. Longshot, on the other hand, begins to release massive amounts of fighters and gunships, though none of them do much of anything but float around their host ship.
