Triarian forces As a result of conflicting goals, Collective forces may be forced to attack Equestrian forces on Hach planets. They have classified every Equestrian unit that continues to assist in the pointless continuation of a conflict that should be settled peacefully as 'Malignant virulent contagions'. In spite of this the Collective is avoiding confrontation with Equestrian forces, trying to continue disarming the Hach rebels and Hach military instead. Collective forces have spread across Hach colonial worlds, continuing their actions in an attempt to end the instability Message to the Equestrians "Cease dragging out the war and causing needless death. Assist us in subduing violence. Hach internal conflict is not compatible with the greater good" Message to the Hach (Broadcasted to as many devices as possible" "Cease your internal conflict and coagulate." Colony 257 Orbital combat. The overseer cocked an eyebrow, and turned his Evocatus towards the enemy, powering up its deadly energy projectors, the same weapon that could turn dozens of miles into glass with a single shot. The two princeps that were already engaged with the enemy sped up, and began to circle the enemy, firing more and more plasma at it, obviously working on the maxim that if they press the assault it shall be destroyed. The energy projector fired, avoiding its own allies as it was dragged through space, scything through the black void towards the enemy. All ships focussed on what they believed to be the engines, wishing to disable its movements Colony 257 The Assembly walker stomped forwards, then its upper body rotated towards the colonial base. It stomped towards the base, powering up its dark energy caster. It seems that since they cannot seize the base they are going to turn the entire area into a crater. Rather than fire, however, it seems to be waiting, as if baiting a surrender from them. It isn't clear whether they are bluffing or not, due to the Collectives reputation. As if to prove that it means business, however, it fired one of its warp cannons. The thin blue beam flickered out, then there was a distortion around part of the assembly walker before the beam thickened. At the focal point, the deadly and devastating warp opened tearing one of the smaller base structures apart as it caused an implosion, before exploding and disintegrating anyone unfortunate another to have been within ten meters of the building. The habitat walker continued its movements away from the base after dropping a large number of Synth soldiers, and mechs were teleported out of the assembly walker, phase tanks gliding towards the colonial base, activating their phase generators as they did Meanwhile, a dropship came down to the planet, landing along its Equator, a few miles a way from a half destroyed city. It dropped a Psionic Amplifier onto the ground, and Collective forces dashed around securing an area. They deployed spherical shielding to protect the area, and stalkers got into position to get a pine of sight on the approaches, Synth Soldiers dug in, etc. A Triarian approached the amplifier and climbed through the open hatch... The hatch closed, and the beacon activated, charging up.
