War in the North
Gaius sat upon his throne in the Elder Council chambers, the squabbling councillors arguing over the issue of taxation levels... predictably, they would be set at a similar rate they had been last year, and nothing would be achieved from the arguing. He didn't bother to weigh in, it would only stoke the fires in this case.
But then something happened that wasn't so predictable. The doors to the elder council chambers flung open and in ran a redguard male in light legion armour
"There's a war in the north" he yelled "Man against Akaviri!" Gaius stood slowly from his chair, frowning
"Explain yourself this instance." He demanded, folding his arms as he watched him
"They landed in Windhelm, they killed and killed and the Jarl lies dead by their hand, face down in a pool of his own blood."
"The Akaviri you say? Which type?" A councillor said, rising slowly
"Kamal my lord"
"Demons of the frost... My Emperor, we must prepare our forces for war, if the Kamal are invading..."
"If the Kamal are invading all we feared has come true, Councillor. Tamriel opened it's self up for occupation and now we're like High Rock when Tiber Septim invaded." The Emperor spat, turning to the council "Send word to prepare the legions, all of them. I want all of the Empires provinces to be secured for defence, prepare the spares for war, we shall not go quietly into Aetherius."
"Hear hear!"
"And one more thing my liege..." The redguard said, slowly backing up "The moon is bleeding..." The Emperor frowned again and crossed the room, pushing open the door and stepping out into the streets, looking up into the night sky... Sure enough it was a blood moon.
"By the nine..." So this is what the gods had planned, an akaviri invasion, a bloodmoon, a flood in Winterhold... and the Dragonborn had supposedly stopped the end of the world? He certainly hadn't stopped the end of Tamriel!

Assistance in the Ceramus Invasion
The Collective forces jumped into the system, their weapons ready and attempting to take the Equestrians by surprise with their sudden intervention on the side of a nation they don't appear to have had any contact with in the past. Their shields were up and they began to fire on the Equestrian ships. Two of the Evocatus and one of the Praetorians had come out within the planetary shield and they prepared their projectors and fired at the shield, including volleys of hardlight, following by a blast of the dark energy caster. The shield flickered and held against the energy projectors and hardlight bombardment, but the blast of dark energy was the straw which broke the back. The shield disintegrated, resulting in the planet being opened for Ceramus bombardment.
The Collective ships in space fired their weapons at the Equestrian fleet, hardlight smashing across space towards the Equestrian fleet at the speed of light, the beams of energy projectors shot out and scythed at enemy ships, the focused and powerful beams performing their deadly dance... and then came the firing of the second Praetorians dark energy caster, crossing the void of space and impacting the enemy ships.
The dark energy caster, a deadly weapon. If it hit shields, it would often turn the enemies shields into dark energy, resulting in the destruction of the enemy craft... if it hit the enemy craft, it would change all or large parts of the enemy craft into dark energy, which, needless to say, destroyed the enemy craft. Scores of drones poured from the Aquilifer ships and dropships launched, supported by Gunships and Aerial Synths.
Phase tanks left the Aquilifers and began to zoom across space towards the Equestrian ships, with their phase generators active. The Collective ships continued to move in their erratic patterns to avoid enemy fire while their strong shields protected them from whatever impacted and their powerful weapons fired upon the enemy

Operation: Knightfall
Inside the shields there was an explosion of equipment
"Attention all ground protection teams, team two alpha deserviced, remaining units extract" Overwatch boomed, and the fire remaining Umbrae Populus fell back to the Indespectus ships. They slowly rose into the air, as the Umbrae Populus boarded. They moved slowly forwards, then sped up. There was a burst of energy from each other them as they opened fire with their small energy projectors upon the town of Appleloosa, a once prominent town which had since lost it's importance due to the collapse of the mana-coal industry. The he town hall burnt under the great flames of apocalypse from the two angels of death that swooped overhead before leaping out of reality and into slip space to escape the Equestrian planet
The hall was completely obliterated, and the surrounding structures had been turned to glass. The structures surrounding it had either been destroyed, set ablaze or had been turned to glass, and everyone within a mile of the town hall was dead, and many people within a further mile were seriously injured or had radiation poisoning with a few cases reaching beyond that. The small variant of the energy projector was more focused and generally caused less damage than it's larger cousin... if one of those had been fired, it was obvious that the town would probably have been totally destroyed. It seemed the Collectives shots had been lenient too, both being centered in the same place instead of being used to maximise damage
It was a message, plain and simple. It was a message that said: Look what we can do to the people and the government is powerless to stop us

Message to the LCF
"You act as though you expect us to brutally murder you in your sleep and steal all your lands. You fail to understand the Greater Good. Due to high risk to the populations at the current time due to food production short comings, newly taken races would introduce further strain and will suffer from the same food problems, thus breaking the doctrine of the Greater Good. Worlds would likely be ravaged by over zealous defenders who refuse to accept us and as a result of the damage would produce less food. At the current time, the Collective is suffering from an extensive population problem, as a result our current aim is to find more suitable agricultural worlds and take them without severe damage, hence the current targeting of non-space faring species. If we took over your worlds, it would result in needless deaths by starvation for it's inhabitants, particularly in the case of the Equestrians who would never surrender and allow us to take their worlds. As a result, we would inherit damaged worlds and even if we brainwashed and took over your entire population, the damage would take time to repair. Lands hit by Dark Energy, anti-proton or anti-matter weapons can not be repaired in a traditional sense, it would take vast amounts of energy to 'repair' the land. Lands damaged by standard energy weapons is also difficult to repair. Lands damaged by ballistic weaponry such as that used by the primitive species is much easier to repair and be adapted into suitable agricultural lands to feed the individuals of the Collective. Nations are generally viciously opposed to introduction into the Collective. Answer me this, if I flew my ship above your planet and stated that you would become part of the Collective, would you accept that? Of course not. In response to your second strand of thought, the Ceramus appear to have the necessary resources to occupy the LCF without the adverse effects of starvation. This war is the result of primitive species, and we do think that discussion needs to be had over the usage of unstable and dangerous drive technology. Regardless, given your explanation and... uh... new information regarding your... inconsistant capabilities having led to us classifying you beyond your technological level, we have decided that your actions in destroying the Anti-Proton weapon before it would cause the destruction of many of more of your people considering we have noticed... other information regarding certain wide spread destruction and a anomalous Lakfakalle survival already having been caused as a result. We therefore must concede that your actions were in accordance with the greater good, attempting to do what you could do to make what is best for as many sentients as possible... now and possibly future. Thus, we shall retract the threat of offering Dark Energy weaponry to the Ceramus, however our war with you shall continue as a result of your alliance with the Equestrians who have declared war on us. We apologise for the destruction that will be caused to your species as a result of your war with us and the war you have been having with the Ceramus which has now become merged with our own." Apparently it hadn't become clear to the Triarii that in the LCF it was probably not the best plan to say 'We apologise for killing you'...

A large battle group has joined the Ceramus forces. It consists of a mere 20 vessels, though it has two of the powerful Praetorian class ships of the line, designed to take immense punishment and continue to fight

The watchers saw the star die in the sky, felt the burst of energy as all life in a system was extinguished and they saw hatred. Hatred, and immaturity and a disregard for the greater good. Passing this on up the chamber, it reached the Primicerii major council, who authorised emergency proceedings. Planetary defences word activated, shields set up, tractor beams prepared. What the Ceramus had done to the LCF world was bad... but this was just unacceptable, regardless of war. What was the motive, what was the purpose? Were they not pleased with killing everyone on the planet? Were they not pleased with destroying the planet? Were they not pleased with destroying everything around the planet? Did they have to destroy the ENTIRE SYSTEM? What was next, the destruction of the entire galaxy? Such unrestrained emotion from such primitive species. They are children, and must be taught.
But not in 100 thousand years had a child had the audacity to destroy an entire solar system without good reason...
Message to the LCF
"Anyone can destroy, parvulus, but it takes a truly great sentient to create. And tell me, for all your destruction here, what is it exactly that you have created from this act wanton destruction, can you name a single thing? I thought not. Do you have an excuse for yourself as to the destruction? There are now, as a result of the Universal War, under three hundred billion stars in the Milky Way. Do you understand that you have destroyed over 1/300 billionth of this galactic body? You destroyed it over what, some guns? Maybe I should transmit to them in the information on Dark Energy weaponry, and give them the powers of your anti-proton weapons in a weapon the size of a rifle. Do not forget how primitive you are, Lakfakalle. If it were up to us, we would have your leaders repurposed and your people brought to learning, they would be taught the error of their ways and forged into a new, greater state, powered by logic and reason and unity over your superstition and arrogance and hatred... But judgement is not ours to bestow and even if you embraced reason and surrendered now, I cannot guarantee the Ceramus would accept it. Beg fate that the Ceramus will be as merciful as us."

*Triarian Voice* Am I meant to be impressed by you having a warp drive that might blow up on you and annihilate your own worlds? The LCF are so unrefined in their actions, so non-surgical... Any sentient being capable of any form of advanced space travel could perform the act you have just committed, they don't because anyone can destroy, it takes a truly great sentient to build. And tell me, for all your destruction here, what is it exactly, that you have created from this act wanton destruction, can you name a single thing? I thought not...
