...The unicorn is the forum's fault and I'm too lazy to change it.


I see you are using the Rilla defense...lol
it's the yellow unicorn that throws everyone off...
Well the war backstory is in effect. Since this is a multiverse feel free to generate you own factions worlds etc. If you are unsure there are planets to start on. Enjoy. I look forward to fighting you or alongside you.
Deep in the bowels of the command ship a tall being rose slowly from a pool of briny water. As the glistening flesh reflected the dull lights, the being wiped water off the sleek limbs. Turning large black eyes towards the smaller Angar-Ryllan that waited patiently, High Cleric Landars dressed slowly, as he did so he nodded for the smaller being to speak. “We have found another system with life and possible; clues about the Nexus of Worlds that can benefit the Angar-Ryllan.” The being spoke rapidly to the larger being, who nodded as the ornate robes shifted and draped over his form.

Glancing at the smaller knight, the High Cleric said, “Has the General been informed of this?” The smaller being nodded then after a moment hissed before speaking, “Our sister ship has encountered life forms willing to fight. It seems that they found a small system of bi-pedal hominids. When our brothers attacked, other fleets of ships appeared to defend the planet.”

The High Cleric pondered this as he moved with an elegant grace towards the lifts that would lead to the command center of the vast world destroying ship. “Do we need to assist them then?” He queried. The cleric shook his head, “No, the Lord Abbot merely said it was a delay to the search, nothing more.”

Stepping on the vast command deck, the High Cleric peered at the captain of his own assault ship and spoke to him softly, “This system. Tell me of its potential.” Rising from her chair the captain bowed slightly as she pointed towards the massive screens, “This system has life and the possible clues we require. It appears easily conquerable, however we have noted an oddity that seems to surround the system.”

Gliding towards a smaller screen, the captain tapped it and the exploded out a multidimensional map display. “They have this...cloud. It seems to be inherent to the system itself but we are having trouble isolating and identifying the exact nature of it.”

The High Cleric peered close to the screen allowing the data to scroll as he took it in, after a long moment he nodded saying, “Send a single destroyer, if makes it with little effect we shall proceed.”

The captain nodded and began a series of orders to several officers on the command deck, who promptly began their own order chain until on one of the destroyers that sailed ahead and below the flagship raced ahead.

On the command deck, the High Cleric moved to his large chair and sat down slowly, as he did so, a thought edged at his consciousness. With a growl he spat, “Psychics!”

Aboard the Voided Lights, the combat information center crew began relaying the positions of the Patronius ships and their distances to the central combat computer in order to plot new firing positions. Captain Hussar narrowed her eyes a moment then exhaled slowly, “Plans go to hell once the enemy is encountered.” she muttered to no one in particular as she felt the ship shudder again as the massive main guns unloaded their deadly bursts towards the Angar-Ryllan warship closest to them.

It was almost exactly at that moment that hundreds of screens began to relay information that required the crew to check the data before a sudden chill passed through many of them. The officer in the CIC depressed the comm, leaving it hanging a moment before he spoke, “Captain? We have some off the chart readings...We have the same readings, it seems as if cosmic energies are being unleashed in large amounts.” The words caused Captain Hussar to pause, a sickening feeling in her stomach as she moved to look at a screen to read the date herself.

“CIC, get me telemetry data on the source of that energy build up and I want it yesterday.” she murmured as she began sliding screens until the latest information came up. Toggling the hailing frequencies she spoke in a low tone, “Patronius TF 112/424D, this is Talisan Cruiser Voided Lights. We are picking up massive energy build-up from a source that is located near the fifth planet in this system, near one of the moons. Our scanners are detecting a massive heavy metal body as the source of the build-up, can you confirm? Over, out.”
As the Voided Lights emerged from its folded space drive,, the massive scanner systems all began flashing with alerts and a stream of data started scrolling on the screens. Kicking in the heavy maneuvering engines the cruiser began to skitter in a maneuver to kick the stern around so that the massive guns would be able to fire broadside if needed. An automatic message was sent to the orbital space station- “Darashal System. This is Talisan Cruiser Voided Lights. We are responding to your distress call. We are assessing the situation and will provide what assistance we can.”

Captain Hussar eyed the screens before she inhaled deeply, “Send word to COMAHFLT, we have a situation here, a very bad situation.” The junior officer next to her nodded and scrambled down to communications where a pulse broadcast was sent to the closest Talisan Naval base with the following.

To:COMAHFLT
From: HMS-Voided Lights CAG-21
Reference- Map-Series Special- DA 1:50,000.
Time: Local Alpha- 0023:444

OppFor elements at Darashal-Open hostilities. Elements of the HPDF are engaged with OppFor. Large concentration of fast-movers near HPDF. It is estimated that HPDF will have less than 4 hours survivability. CoD-223 attached to CAG-21, further cross-attachement to T/F BB-54/CVN-98.

CAG-21 will move to defend Darashal in OPD Lagrange 1-311200A and OPD Lagrange 2-9984064 to destroy one OppFor at that station.

CAG-21 defends in detail Darashal- CAG-21 will deploy CoD-223 and VF-28 to intercept fast-movers and provide PDF.

CAG-21 End. Alpha-0023:445

The command at Al-Hazred forwarded the information to T/F BB-54/CVN-98. The Talisan Battleship Fading Glory and the Assault Carrier Tempest and their accompanying support ships 20 L.Y away from Al-Hazred and nearly 100 L.Y out of the Darashal system.

The defensive forces on Al-Hazred were alerted, while the information was forwarded to the President and his council as well as the psychic impressions recorded by the Lord-Captain were accessed to glean further insight on the Angar-Ryllan forces.

While the transmission is being sent, the large ship began moving forward towards the planet's Lagrange point, the whole while the battery of defense weapons began ripping apart dozens of incoming fighters from the Angar-Ryllans. Still a beam of the large Angar-Ryllan assault ship the massive Xi-particle boson accelerator long range assault cannons of the cruiser opened up, sending massive energy bursts towards the disc shaped ship that hung in a geosynchronous orbit over the planet.

The brilliant display of energies as the weapons fired filled the skies above the planet with intense lights as the radiations illuminated particles that were traveling through space. Even the ground troops of both sides paused as the brilliant streaks glowed bright enough to compete with the planets own star.

Aboard the warship, the flight crews of the fighters and the unmanned fighter/bombers were busy finishing equipping and fueling them. As the first pilots climbed into the cockpits, the entire ship shuddered a moment as the main guns fired. A cheer raced through the flight deck, before they returned to the business of prepping the fighters. A moment later, the first flight launched, to be followed the rest at intervals of every 5 minutes.

It was as the energy weapons of the Talisan Cruiser slammed into the defensive shields of the Angur-Ryllan warship, creating a stunning display of crackling and fragmenting energies spheres. A series of blips appeared on the Talisan scanners. A long-range sweep displayed a number of Patronius warships, this was confirmed a moment later as the following message was picked up:

Darshal Colony, this is Patronius Task Force 112/424D responding to an emergency communication sent out by one of our freighters...
We are in-system and twelve minutes out...
We will render what aid we can...
Requesting orders...

Jabbing down a override communication button, Captain Hussar spoke swiftly, “Patronius TF 112/424D, this is Cruiser Voided Lights, CAG-21. We are engaged with the OPPFOR and request that you establish evacuation routes starting from our position outward. Out.”

As Captain Hussar finished she saw the first flight of her own fighters enter the fray around the Darashal orbital station. It was going to be a long day.
Aboard the Heavy Cruiser Voided Lights, Lord-Captain Hannah Kuzar allowed her psychic energies flow around her as the Talisan communications officer explained the nature of the distress call from the Darashal system. An eerie voice echoed around the bridge as Kuzar spoke, “I see...very well captain we shall respond to the call by the Darashallans. Flash transmit a message to the Galactic Congress explaining the situation.”

With that Kuzar whirled and moved with deadly grace towards her room. Captain Hussar cleared her throat a moment before speaking, “My Lord? What are you going to do?” Pausing a moment the brilliant white energies flared illuminating the bridge, “I am going to Darashal and see what is happening.” Pursing her lips, Captain Hussar, nodded slowly as she turned towards the command boards, the ability of the Psychics to travel mentally through unnerved her.

In her chambers, Lord-Captain Kuzar allowed her mental energies to expand, swirling around her a chaotic whirl of flashing colors before finding the vibrational patterns that would lead to Darashal. Allowing the patterns wash over her, she stepped forward and began her mental journey towards the beleaguered planet. It would take her mere minutes to reach the world nearly 3 light years away, and take the warship about an hour to reach the world using the fold space technology it used.

As the Lord-Captain arrived on the world, a series of explosions rocked the landscape as silver fighters streaked across the skies chasing or being chased by dull black shapes. Allowing the mental energies to flow from her, slowly enveloping everything for miles around her, during the process of acquiring understanding she felt energy signatures that seemed to blunt and turn away her ability to perceive them clearly.

A low growl rumbled from the silver-white form as she turned towards the largest concentration of this disruptive energies. The scream of fighters, followed by a massive air burst caused him to look skyward, doing so the Lord-Captain witnessed another of the large assault ships descend from the upper atmosphere, dozens of fighter craft disgorging themselves in a flurry of activity into the hazy morning. It was movement that drew her attention as several creatures began moving towards a small farm where a girl stood between them and the home. A second later shots rang out as a Darashallan male with a firearm began firing at the entities.

Dimming her energy in order to block the last moments of the man’s life as heavy kinetic projectiles riddled his body, the impacts shredding the soft flesh in a hail of arterial spray.

The Darashal child, for that is what she was, seemed shocked, her hand extending towards the dying thing before her. As she watched Lord-Captain Kuzar felt a presence behind her, drawing and ethereal sword and whirling in a deadly display of martial prowess the Lord-Captain slashed at the large Angar-Ryllan warrior that was closing in on her.

However, the others began firing their weapons at the shimmering form some of the heavy slugs slammed home knocking the glowing form being back into the trees. The explosive power would have shattered bones and most likely killed her had she been physical; however, the psychic energies flowed and swirled around her. As she slammed into the ground, she allowed herself to be draw into the ethereal spaces between worlds and dragged back to the warship.

In her darkened chambers the Lord-Captain fell into her regeneration chamber, the energies dimming in her eyes. She had made a mistake and assumed she would be able to withstand the impacts of the Angar-Ryllan weaponry. Normally had she prepared mental defenses properly she may have but she didn't and now would be out of commission for several hours as her body healed itself. Before slipping into the embrace of sleep,she felt the engines of the warship boost the cruiser into the folded space, moving towards the Darshal world at incredible speeds.
Sarah Qallar woke early this morning, far earlier than she normally did and both her parents were surprised and oddly pleased. To them their daughter was growing up, but Sarah woke early so she could head down to the little creek that ran through the farm. She had seen some of the local fauna there before, the large eyed and slender-limbed deer that populated the area. She had seen a doe and several fawn and wanted to see them again.

Making her way gingerly down towards the creek in the early morning fog she was eager to get there in case the deer left. The sky was usually vivid this morning the petite ten-year old thought as she paused to catch her breath.

Dazzling streaks of light seemed to appear and vanish in the darker parts of the sky. Maybe it would rain the little girl thought as she inhaled the chilly air and continued her walk. A boom in the air made her pause, looking up she saw one of the fighters that were kept in space station roar overhead, following close behind it were several odd looking black wing like things. They looked like they were playing tag as the silver fighter thundered towards the far mountains, the others close behind it.

Shaking her head the little girl turned towards the small creek when she saw them. Tall, armored warriors with glowing swords and lances. Large black eye sheilds stared at her as the closest one peered down at her. What looked like plasma staff held in its large hands.

Before Sarah could scream she heard a shot followed by another and another as her father unloaded his rifle at the Angur-Ryllan warriors. The one who was reaching for her was hit twice and stumbled, falling to the ground. The others began returning fire, heavy lasers rippled through the air, slamming into the pudgy farmer, shredding the flesh from his bones. His scream echoing through the small valley, followed by his wife's cries.

Sarah just stared at the dying Angur-Ryllan before her, her mind numb to all else as she watched a series of colors flash and twinkle under the skin of the creature. Slowly reaching out she touched the slick, clammy skin and shuddered. Withdrawing her hand, she gasps as the body stopped moving and the large eyes focused on her, dimming slowly, the flashing lights under the skin fading to nothingness. Looking up Sarah saw another silver fighter and another as they raced towards something on the other side of the valley.

Standing slowly the little girl looked around, as an explosion rocked the area, kicking up dirt and debris high into the air. More of the strange creatures marched past her, they seemed focused on the small village that lay to the north of the farm. Not seeing her father or mother a stream of tears began as the little girl felt for the first time truly alone on this world.
