Equiis-Collective conflict 001 The beacons are hit and destroyed, but not before they transmit back universal homing co-ordinates. There is a surge of energy, and then a massive 'Super Portal' opens in the sky, dropping a several mile tall triangular based tower into the surface of the planet, the ground shattering and a crater raising as this alien construct embeds it's self, about three quaters of a mile of it's bottom embedded into the ground. It's dark energy and hardlight weaponry comes alive and fires upon the Equestrian ships that are inside the shield, it's shield activates and it's form changes, it's resiliant alien materials opening up about two thirds of the way up, deploying gunships out into the open, which trace the bombers and speed after them, firing their warp cannons. A massive arc of dark energy shoots from it, heading towards the Dreadnought. Phase tanks exit in their phased mode, flying across the skies of the world and spreading around, and finally come dropships, forcing their way across the world to drop their forces, aerial synths and gunships acting as escourts. The space ships vanish again, this time reappearing above the planet and pounding the shield with energy projectors, dark energy casters and plasma upon the enemy shielding, attempting to destroy it. The ships which are being engaged by fighters, turn their guns and fire, their point defences making short work of the enemy craft. Drones spew out of the larger craft that are within the shield, engaging the enemy bombers along with the gunships
