New post is us up! Kinda a small one though.

Era of Succession(Closed)

Collective Space
Northern Fringe Systems
Along the far edges of the Agonis Collective, a fleet of gargantuan proportions had assembled near the border between the Collective itself and the uncharted regions, the fleet numbered in the hundreds of thousands. The purpose of this fleet was not what one would expect of such a massive force, they weren't preparing to mount a counter-offensive against the Totalist State, they were preparing to flee, to retreat deep into the uncharted regions, far from the wrath of their many enemies. Deep in the heart of the Armada was a small cluster of Divine-class vessels, all shielding a larger variant, this larger command ship was command by one of the Seven, Magnus himself.

Magnus' Command ship
AI Core

Within the heart of Magnus' flagship, his very core, a group of featureless digitized figures gather and convene. One particular figure stood out among the group, it stood at the center of the vast room, its eyes glowing a light shade of red. "Magnus..." one of the figures spoke. "Is this right?"

Magnus, the figure with glowing eyes floated upwards to the level of the lesser AI. "You question me now? After all this time...you had your chance to remain, but you did not, and you know why?" The room fell into silence, no one dare answering that question. "Because deep down in your very code, you know all too well. Our enemies continue to push inward, and the barbaric tribes further prepare for their own push into the Collective, the Resistance grows ever more bold with their new allies, to even so arrogantly establish this "Republic" of theirs. And in all this, our Queen continues this mad campaign for dominance. Her vision is no longer a possibility, it's dead in its tracks, our determined and vicious foes have seen to that. I however, plan to reforge a far more stronger Collective." Magnus paused a moment, letting his words sink into his followers. "That is why you continue to follow me even now, you doubt, and you wish to survive. So do I, and as such, I and you all have chosen the only sensible option, we flee this region and rebuild elsewhere, far from our enemies. We will emerge far stronger, under my vision."

Magnus' words were still met with silence, it did not matter to him either way, the time has come and it is far too late to turn back now, he wouldn't allow it. "I may have quickened the Collective's demise." Magus said. "But it was inevitable." In an instant, the entire Armada had vanished into the dark void of space, leaving known space for now, Magnus however, intends return one day and wreak his terrible vengeance upon the former Imperium.

Post is finally up! Sorry it took a while @POOHEAD189

Era of Succession(Closed)

Kasius
Some days since the arrival of the Hexanagallion fleet have long past and through the combined efforts of the HRF and local rebel forces, the planet has been mostly liberated, only small pockets of collective forces left on Kasius. It was truly a day of great celebration for the Kasian rebels, the fleets orbiting the planet a shining beacon of hope for all the rebellion.

General Itinus Kosh, after some talks with the commanders of the fleet, had managed to secure an alliance with the Hexanagallions, the rebels providing manpower while the Hexanagallions provide transportation for the army of the yet to be announced new goverment. With the recent events, something drastic had to be done, it was both a great risk, and yet very much a necessary thing to do. Over the centuries, the rebels had slowly established a sort of Shadow Network, a means of safe and unmonitored communication, leaving the Collective deaf to such transmissions, for a certain amount of time and distance.

The Network can only be so effective, if what had to be done was done so, the Collective would immediately be aware of every single cell operating in Collective Space. If Communication was two way, it was effectively invisible to the Collective's channels, but if a broadcast was made to multiple locations, the "shadow" effect would diminish, the Collective channels picking up and locating all sources of transmission and receivers. Nonetheless, it's a risk worth taking for the leaders of the Kasian Cell.

Kasius
New Izuno, Rebel Headquarters
A group of high ranking members of the cell had gathered around the holo table in silence in sheer awe of what had been done and what was about to be done. Among the group was General Itinus Kosh and his second-in-command, some lower ranked officers and one particular individual that stood out among his peers, facing the officers on the other end of the table were members of the civlian branch, those men and women who have been taught and groomed to become the leaders of tomorrow, the ones to run the new goverment if that day were to ever come, and that day was today. Among the civilians stood Argus Bradley, an aged brown-skinned man in his late forties, dressed in blue, and brandishing a white cape, nearly touching the ground. He stood confidently among the worried faces in the crowd. "Is this really wise decision?" General Kosh spoke up. "We do this, and we risk compromising not only the Alpha Division, but all the others." The room fell silent. "We fail and millions, upon millions will die."

"I know we can do this." Argus said, his confident expression swiftly changing to a more focused expression. "It's a risk I'm willing to take, we HAVE to do this." Argus paused, looking to both his left and right at his peers, they all gave brief nods of approval. "We've lived in fear for too long, now is the time to strike. Initial causalities will be high. But we can finally retake our homes and remove the threat of Agonis once and for all, the risk is worth it." The general remained silent, no objections to be made. "...Very well, sir."

And with that, the general begun to briskly type the holo keys, as he was in the process of accessing the Shadow Network. A flash of light emerged from the console on the other end of the table as it scanned Argus. After a moment had passed, a "bing" sound was heard. "It's done, we're live to every single resistance base." Kosh said.

Argus took a deep breath as he pressed down a single key, the machine scanning his face once more. "This is Argus Bradly of the Civilian Branch, Alpha Division. Today is a momentous day, my people. Not only have we liberated a planet, we did so with unexpected assistance. An agreement has been reached, we both have our own goals to accomplish and we will do so together, as one." Argus paused, clearing his throat. "As written in protocol, and as senior member of the branch, I hereby declare the creation of the United Republic of Kasius, under my rule and guidance, and the aide of our new allies, we begin the final campaign. The end of the Collective is nigh my people! Kasians! Even as I speak now, the Collective hears my words." Argus' tone had slowly shifted to something more passionate. "But do not fear! We will come for you! And we WILL strike down the machines and their horrid abominations! We will strike at the heart of the Collective and dismantle the Queen herself! We may suffer losses, but it is a price I and we all should make! Liberty for all species! Glory to the Republic!"

Everyone, I've got another announcement to make. Due to monkey's absence and importance to the current story arc. I feel that, in order to move on, we shall be doing a timeskip very soon. I just want to warn you all of it, after you all are finished with any doable story arcs, we shall commence a timeskip to a few decades(30 years) after the Great War and other conflicts.

I also would like us all to come to an agreed outcome of the war and the aftermath.

Era of Succession(Closed)

Due to @Monkeypants temporary(I hope :P)absence. His three factions are for now in a semi-NPC status, that is until he returns.
