World of Kasius
Fringes of Collective Space
[/u][/b]
Kasius, a pristine garden world like that of Earth when it was at its prime, during the Golden Age of the Old Imperium, before the fall. Now like all others, it is a scarred battleground as forces of the Resistance and the Collective fight their neverending war for supremacy. Kasius however, was a world of great significance, it is here that leaders of the Resistance are based, or at least a segment of High Command. The overall operations of the Resistance are split into four Theaters of Regional Operations, Alpha, Delta, Beta and Epsilon, each was overseen by A subbranch of High Command. And it is here the Collective had planned on their major offensive against the rebel leaders of the Alpha Theater, after some years of tracking down Alpha Command to their latest location.

"Hostiles on advance!" A soldier cried out, firing from cover along with several other humans and an aldzur. 

"Come get some!" An Hexanagallion soldier snarled and roared, firing a heavy machine gun towards the charging rejected grunts. "I can do this all day assholes!" He continued unloading lead on the barely-seniant cyborgs until he heard several clicking sounds. "Reload!" He yelled, but before he got the chance, he was pulled down. "Masu! get in cover you crazy idiot!" shouted the human next to him, pulling him down with all his might behind the safety of the makeshift walls they set up. "You're a goddamn sniper's magnet!" he shouted over the gunfire. Masu simply made a smiling-like expression with his mandibles, "Hah! I'd say let them try at it!"

The Sergeant frowned to the over confident Hexanagallion. "You're no good dead to the Squad, soldier." He replied as he placed two fingers over the right side of his head. "Control, this is Echo One, we're facing some heavy fire here, requesting some backup ASAP." A response came as a feminine voice replied. "Roger that Echo One, we're sending armor support on your way."

"Much appreciated Control." The Sergeant then turned is gaze back to a Ge'He as he tinkered with a power generator, pressing down keys. "How are those Auto Turrets Sull?"

"I'm working as fast as possible sarge!" He replied, frantically trying to turn the generator on. "You stupid piece of crap! Turn on damn you!" He kept shouting at the generator as it refused to power the auto guns that would reinforce their forward position. He then resorted to smashing it in frustration, however, in his recklessness he was out in the open briefly, and was shot in the arm. "Gah!" he yelped, falling to the ground in agony. "Medic!" The Sergeant cried out, and without delay a young woman rushed over and dragged the injured Sull away into cover. The sergeant proceeded to fire blindly at the collective troops, and before they knew it, a Collective Main Battle Walker came crashing through, followed a mess of varusch troopers, the machine turned it's gaze and aimed towards the defenders, ready to fire it's main gun. "Ah shit.." the sergeant said, and right before his eyes, before they were t die, the very same walker exploded, forcing the varusch to scatter.

The group of soldiers all looked up in sheer awe as they witnessed something extraordinary, a fleet of alien ships hung over them, didn't matter if they were friend or foe, in the moment, salvation had come, a possible end to this war once and for all. 

[b][u]Command and Operations Center[/u][/b]
In the center of this ramshackled base, located deeper in the city, General Itinus Kosh of Alpha Command and several others watched over a holo-display of the city battle, over a dozen platoons-worth of men add equipment were struggling across several locations around the city, a few squads such as Echo were left to guard small entry points leading to the base. The room begun to tremor, dirt and dust falling as they were being shelled by Collective artillery.  

"Damn it, they got us cornered, and they're not letting up." The General said as he glued his eyes to the battlefield, Collective forces making a slow advance in great numbers. He turned to his Second in Command, a fellow Aldzur. "Any word on those reinforcements?"

"Other cells that have yet to report in are forming up, however..they won't arrive soon enough.."

"Damnnit!" he cursed, his fist slamming against the table. "We'll be dead before they get here..." soon however, alarms were set off, sirens crying out. "Now what?" 

"Sir..." One of the Operators spoke up. "We got additional contacts approaching the city, and I don't believe it, but...they're engaging Collective troops."
