On the planet of Ciilonii, a pivotal moment is in the making, the closest readily-habitable planet to two worlds filled with potential for explosive success, Terra and Equestrians. Though the planet was at first shared equally, with each side taking one of the two great continents that are connected by a narrow Isthmus where one can never get more than 60 miles away from ocean. But, as it quickly came apparent, it was impossible for either side to share the planet and tensions grew. Push came to shove, and the war that neither side wanted, but both of them needed, broke out. Though while the situation on Ciilonii itself remained relatively stalemated, the Isthmus bottlenecking the troops of both sides and made break outs impossible, thanks to the extraordinarily rough seas of the planet not allowing ships to land troops behind enemy lines in mass numbers, the situation in space was weighed heavily in favor of the Terreans, who were being represented by the nation of Glory (as no other nation on their planet knew of Ciilonii), as they had the advantage of the ultra-powerful MA Cannons, Cannons that fired huge projectiles at enormous speeds that could take down a ship in just a couple hits. However, the Equestrians had some help, the Glorians were fighting not only a secret war, but also helping put down rebellion in allied nations back in its own system, allowing them to have some breathing room (But this rebellion was not known to the Equestrians). And so the war started, and so it was fought, and so will this war determine which nation shall be the greater of the space-faring nations, and which one was to be worthy of the respect of the older, already inter-stellar nations....
Crag was in a Equestrian Warship en route to Ciilonii. "Pull up the Map of Terrean Territory on Ciilonii." A holographic map soon came up on the round table, with a mark on the MA Cannon. "It seems we have a predicament here, No matter where we go, we're within range of those cannons." "Why don't we just turn the shields up to full power, Sir?" A private asked. "Even though we have one of the best warships in the Equestrian Fleet, our shields are meant to block attacks from heavy laser fire, not large, near-lightspeed projectiles." Crag said, in a grim tone.
"Okay consider that ammo resupply on your way. Just need your co-ordinates and I should be able to send it you". Zara was busy at her station taking in requests from the planet below and getting chatted up in the process by a few soldiers. Zara was a communications officer meaning she did this day in day out. Passing messages along to others in the process. Just like a business secretary, But she enjoyed it. "should be arriving at you location in 30 minutes enjoy your Ammo".
Adaria was walking alone in a desert like environment. Under the orders of the Glorian Military and commanders themselves, she was told to take out any Equestrian threat in this side of the planet. However, there was none whatsoever... "Command, i have reports that there is no Equestrian presence in this sector. Repeat, no presence in sector." Adaria reported. It took a moment for a reply to return back. "Copy that Agent. Return to base, shuttle ETA 15 minutes to your location." She decided to sit down and wait for the shuttle for her extraction. Her commander might find her reports interesting.
Priimamaziiaus (First Admiral, roughly) Janoiis looked out from the bridge of his Ultra-class Man o' War, currently the largest, most powerful class of ship in the United Glorian Space Navy, or U.G.S.N. It sported three MA Cannons, where most other ships had one or even nothing, 50 hangers to house its 500 Siibra space-fighters, and innumerable energy cannon batteries that, unlike laser cannons, could override and disable enemy ship electronics with ease, and with its fusion-powered Futari-Tec Foriina-Stiipola shield and extremely thick armor meant it could take just about any blow with ease. In front of the bridge was the planet of Ciilonii, probably the most valuable piece of land outside of Terra, and if he could have his way, it could be all Glory's within the month. Alas, the land troops were limited, despite two entire Battle Fleets protecting their heads. He turned and faced a holographic display that showed all the objects within 1 million miles of Ciilonii. The Glorian ships were marked in green and all unknown ships were red, and cities upon Terra were a highlighted dot of light. Currently, there were very few of the red spots, and he was on course along with several War Carriers, the next largest ship type after the Man O' Wars and the mainstay of the U.G.S.N., to remove them. He smiled as the dots beeped, showing they were in sight, soon followed by a few LADAR and scanner operators yelling, "R.E.N. Ships detected! Permission to wipe them from existence?" "Permission granted, prepare the MA Cannons for continuous volley and the Siibras for mop-up, I don't want a single Sector Fiftien getting out alive!" He yelled back, and the ship soon felt the recoil of a shot fired from an MA Cannon, heading straight for the largest of the ships.
"Sir, we just lost communications with a ship within firing range of the MA Cannons! It's likely that a shot has just fired off!" A Communications officer yelled. "How close are we within range of the Cannons?" Crag asked, looking worried. "10 minutes sir!" "Prepare all nearby ships for battle. We're going the need all the firepower we can get. In the mean time, slow the ship down, I'm making a call." "Yes sir!" The officer said before starting to send out messages. Crag walked to the Comm Room and punched in some numbers. A holo of a Black Unicorn appeared. "What is it Crag?" The unicorn asked. "Insider, Sir! An Ultra Class Man o' War is orbiting Ciilonii, it's MA Cannons just took out a ship en route to Ciilonii, There are 4 others nearby, and I'm getting urgency calls sent out to them, but we're within 10 minutes of the firing range. I won't be able to carry out the operation unless this Man o' War is distracted, or taken out of commission." "Are you requesting reinforcements? We can't do that, that thing will rip them apart!" We don't need to destroy it, just lead it away long enough for us to get in, and get out safely." "Very well. I will send a small fleet, this better work Crag." The holocall ended.
The 'battle' had barely lasted 5 minutes, and the Equestrian fleet that had been on route to Ciilonii was left in ruins, and not a single survivor, as ordered, and Janoiis stared triumphly at the 5th Equestrian fleet destroyed with a fleet under his command. He walked over from the bridge window and over to a communications officer, "Prepare a holographic message and a translator, I think I have an idea." he told him, before standing on the holograph ring, "If there are any ships detected, destroy them, but do not leave near-Ciilonii orbit! Put all ships on high lookout! That fleet was far larger than the previous ones, so the Sector Fiftiens must be getting desperate to get supplies in! Let not a single ship through!" he ordered before the chamber sealed off. He turned towards the recorder and cleared his throat, "Enemy of the great nation of Glory, we have annihilated all your fleets to previous attack the planet that is rightfully Terrean, cease and desist your attacks immediately, we do not wish this war to be any bloodier than need be. All we want is the planet, and friendly relations can begin! But if you want to spare your lives, stop with the hopeless blockade running! Remember, if we can see you, you are WITHIN range!" the holographic message ended with a wave of his hand, and within a second, it was translated and sent in a pulse message to override the communication systems of any Equestrian fleet in the area so no Equestrian would not hear the message. He walked out of the chamber just in time to see the bridge in a flurry of action as it prepared to coordinate attacks with the War Carriers upon a new target...
"Well, that plan failed miserably..." Crag said, before receiving a message from Janoiis. He walked back into the comms room, and made the call back. "Very well Janoiis, you can have your way, we're retreating. I don't want anymore bloodshed today." He punched in a command, and the message was sent of to the Man o' War. Crag then punched in another command, and made another Holocall to Insider. "The plan failed sir, the Man o' War was barely damaged. But don't worry, I have a back-up plan." "You'd be fired by now if it weren't for all your back-up plans... Get on with it." "Those MA Cannons are meant to take out large, Dreadnought Class Ships, which aren't very maneuverable. What if we loaded a Landing Craft with all the people we need to carry out the operation, and sent this warship back? They do have Stealth Drives and Radar Jamming Tech after all. If we are spotted, most of the fighters would be on us, which we could out maneuver, and they wouldn't dare fire the MA Cannon on us if they have allies nearby." "That might actually work! Crag, you can be a bloody genius sometimes!" The order was passed, and soon a landing craft was loaded with a pilot, Crag, some special ops forces, comms officers, engineers and others. The shuttle's thrust went on, and it left the hanger. The Warships behind went into Jump speed and retreated back to a nearby system. The stealth drive and radar jammers went online, and soon they were virtually undetectable.
(Aaaaaand you forgot LADAR, which would detect ships unless those ships were ghost-like, I'll let you write that part though, I'm done for the night)
As her shift ended Zara went to the onboard gym as you had to keep fit otherwise you would probably die from not reaching the escape pods in time. Not like that ever happens. After changing she headed straight for the treadmill catching up on the news back on glory.
Adaria returned to the base of her operations once the shuttle that had carried her stopped inside the middle of a major Gloryan military base. She felt like she had failed her mission, but there never really was one in the first place. She was escorted to the war room where she was surrounded by 5 council members sitting at their desks like they were emperors and kings. They pulled up a report of what had just happened within that day. "Agent Euralain. Step forward towards the council." one of the council members said. She never really liked the council, even through they had the power to wipe out entire nations, they acted like they were a five year old playing god. "My mission never happened. There was no Equestrian battalion or fleet anywhere near my sector. Even with my A.S.D (Anti Stealth Detector) which could pick up anything within 50 miles, there was nothing but desert animals." The Council looked at each other than continued to speak. "Agent Euralain...would you prefer to be called Adaria? Your mission was simpily to distract Equestria form gaining the upper advantage in the sector. They must have heard that we sent you and they were to afraid to attack. Remember that sending one agent is a step below sending an entire fleet." Said a grey haired council member who Adaria assumed that he was the leader since they all acted as a single group. "Your next mission involves something more complex, you will help a U.G.S.N dreadnought or man of war as the military calls them with their primary mission. We know no details except it's location, Fleet size and Captain identification. Further details will be sent to your computer via message soon. Good luck Agent Euralain" Adaria then saluted in respect of the council she had served under since her enlistment and her role as a Gloryan Agent. She then left the room in silence as she went towards her second mission. This one however, was going to take more than a few hours...
When Adaria arrived at the space port for deployment to assist the fleet, she noticed what looked like a walking suit of armor guarding a small shuttle craft. Anyone would have been able to recognize that it was an Elatian, the best soldiers to ever hail from Terra as they were trained from birth to live, breath, and die war and honor to Glory, the armor they wore mearly was an additional safeguard to the valuable asset of the front-line Elatians. It would be pretty easy to guess that the shuttle was for her, and the Elatian was safeguarding it, waiting for her arrival.
“Evening. Is this the shuttle towards the man o’ war that I was told of?” Adaria asked the Elatian safeguarding the shuttle. He simply nodded in response and used a scanner to make sure that this was the real agent that he was told of. There were was almost instant sound of a “Ping!” when her stats came up and the Elatian guard saluted the agent. “Agent Euralain. The shuttle is ready for your use, the Man o’ war is currently on patrol and the shuttle will intercept eta 20 minutes. The captain knows of your arrival and will great you when on board. Good luck with your mission Agent.” The Elatian said. “Thank you with your cooperation. I must get going.” Adaria said. She was in full Agent gear, which is not only astronomically light and durable but has several armour equipment which allows her to have several “Powers” such as an instant invisibility field for stealth and a hologram projector to fake her real location from her enemies. She was an extremely dangerous enemy alongside the other eleven agents she serves alongside and one of the best. Within a minute, the shuttle was in the air and accelerated towards the Man o’ war she was assigned to help. She didn’t know what to expect, her thoughts ranging crew members faking their real thoughts about her or an over the top welcome ceremony the moment she leaves the shuttle. She liked the later however. Within the estimated twenty minutes that the Elatian had said, she seen the Man o’ war in all its glory and landed inside the shuttle bay.
As the shuttle entered the docking bay, multiple soldiers armed with high-intensity laser rifles entered and took aim at the shuttle. As the shuttle door opened the soldiers told Adaria to put her hands up and surrender. She was escorted to the bridge to meet with the captain. "Why hello" The captain said "I see you got our request?" "I am Captain Starlight. And you are?"
(Uh, hey Starlight, could you kindly sign up before you post? That would be much appreciated. Also, Glorians don't use laser weaponry, like I said in the OOC, don't make your own assumptions about them, just ask!)
(I can post today but im currently sick. So this post would be my only one for about 2 to 3 days. Do i continue with Starlight's post or wait for your's.)
