Shattered Stars!

#1 Post by the red soldier »

The Neutral world of Central Prime, once just a small colony for a insignificant species, now considered one of the most important worlds in the galaxy. No where else will you ever find so many alien species huddled into one area, ships from all sizes and all shapes dotting the world like a meteor shower. This neutral world, a symbol of hope, however feint, to the small races, in a galaxy ruled by ruthless giants. On one side, the Terra Imperia, conquering all in there path for the glory of Terra and the grand Primarch. On the other, the Coalition of Free Colonies, ever scheming, dealing, corrupting and bribing there way through the universe through crooked diplomacy and questionably ethical behavior. And then, finally, the mysterious Ynu, as graceful as they are powerful, as brilliant as they are wise.

The stage is set for the meeting of the giants. In there struggles for supremacy, they march to the world to make there case to other species, hoping to make potential allies in the looming dark times ahead but none is more certain then the Terra Imperia... there might alone could guarantee a decisive victory, there massive ships, titans amongst ants! Glory be the mighty fleet of Terra as it slowly makes its way towards the neutral world of Central Prime as the alien ships bask in there shadows.

"This is Grand Admir Lucitius of the 67th Imperial Armada, requesting permission to land."

"Imperial ship "the Grand Ark" cleared for landing plus one escort of your choosing, rest remains orbit."

"Understood. By holy Terra Imperia. Out."

The captain of the Fleet, the Admir as they call him, stood sitting in his command chair, his uniform brimming with insignias, medals, pendants and decorated with enough jewelry to buy a planet. Next to him stood a standing figure, fully equipped in a strange, sleeker looking uniform, wearing the Specialis Muneris insignia. "Everything is going to specifications your Grace." The sleek figure simply continued to stare down the main screen, upon the ever enclosing world of Central Prime. "Excellent as always Admir Lucitius." The Admir simply smiled, letting out a small chuckle. "Come now, no one would dare raid an Imperial Armada, it was destined to go smoothly, your Grace." The figure didn't move an inch. "We must never be to careful with the slithering CFC. I will see to "his" well being, carry on." "Of course, your grace." With that, the sleek figure left the command deck at a leisurely pace. The Admir himself on the other hand, opened a secure channel to one of the ships under his command. " Captain Tiara Kyrsk of of T.I Hannibal Class Dreadnought, Phantom. You are to escort and land with the Grand Ark. By Holy Terra Imperia, out."

A ancient ship came out from warp and shunted into orbit, it slowly drifted to a halt, a hail was sent to the surface, a gravelly voice the source. "fleet Guardian Ak'tish representing the Vor'as remnants, of the Mu sector, requesting permission to land in shuttle on the surface over." as he waited for the response he looked about the projection on the view cluster. a mighty imperial dreadnought...quite the sight "how much have we fallen...at one point in ur history we would have been able to create something as big as that...as powerful...now we can only scrounge up three ships that size...and they barely are refitted, and still the regenerative process continues.

Tiara

"Captain, a message for you! It's from Admir Lucitius. He wants you to escort and land with his ship the Grand Ark." a lieutenant called as he ran towards his captain's quarters.

"Ah yes, of course. Just give me a moment lieutenant." Tiara interrupted one of her officers in mid-sentence, adjusting her long black uniform in her living quarters. She took a quick sip from her cup of coffee and put on her hat as she made her way to the helm of the Phantom. At her oncoming presence everybody immediately stood up at the call by one of the personnel at the navigation section. An order for a salute was issued and everybody did as commanded.

"At ease crew." Tiara said, saluting back briefly and taking a seat on her chair. She patched a channel through to the Admir. "My Grace, This is Captain Kyrsk of the Phantom. My ship will now be escorting yours. I have also dispatched fighter pilots at your port and starboard. By Holy Terra Imperia, out." Tiara said, closing the channel.

"Alright crew listen up, this is an escort mission so I will be expecting you all to be on full alert at all time. Navigation, bring her to the Grand Ark's Starboard, and instruct the fighters out there to keep their eyes peeled. Gun batteries, be vigilant at all times and pop any threats which come as close as 20 meters. To your duties gentlemen.." the captain announced to the ship over the radio.

"Communications, inform the Grand Ark we are awaiting orders to move out.." Tiara instructed.

DB, NW's POV
David sat on the Captain's chair on the bridge of the Light at Dusk, Emilia was leaning on a nearby bulkhead while the Nightwatch's stealth ships floated silently and undetected above the Scale fringe mining planet. They were hired by the CFC to destabilize the planet so that human colonization could occur. It was ,after all, an important strategic point. Their was only one colony on the entire planet, and it wasn't even that well defended. Just one militia platoon, armed with dated weapons. That dusk, the Nightwatch struck. The initial shocktrooper's drop pods slammed into the communications centers, destroying them completely. As the colony's communication capabilities were crippled, the Eternal Dawn exited slipspace. The Eternal's HASB cannon glowed brightly as the acting Captain targeted the transport hub. The cannon flashed, and the hub burned. By dawn, the entire town was on fire and the Nightwatch was finishing the planting of evidence that pointed towards a civil war. David watched the destruction as Emilia pushed off a wall while sitting in an office chair, rolling next to him. "We got ourselves a new job! Gotta oversee that new summit thingy." David sighed. "Psh, like if true peace will ever come. Well, what's the pay. 4X standard. And we're going. Men! Move out!" The captain of the Light nodded and yelled out orders to the ship's crew. Soon the four ships were underway, leaving a burning colony behind.

Admir Lucitius

As the ship moved ever closer towards the world, the Admir opened communications with Captain Tiara. "Captain Tiara Kyrsk, here are the landing coordinates, easy enough endeavor, although a bit tight considering the size of our ships compared to what usually lands there, make the most of it. By Holy Terra Imperia, out." Suddenly, a smaller vessel, some doctor with one thick of an accent. Opening a channel between the two ships, Admir Lucitius looked at the smaller ship from his main screen. "You speak to Grand Admir Lucitius of the 67th Imperial Armada. I have no authority to form alliances on behalf of holy Terra. However, we have someone onboard who does. He would rather see you face to face planet side if ever possible. Considering you wear no CFC markings or signals, I will allow a meeting. By Holy Terra Imperia, out."

The Grand Ark continued its descent towards the planets surface, slowly landing in a massive opened area. Even so, the ever bigger ship models of the Terra Imperia easily took the spacing for at least four average CFC ships. "Landing successful." Upon landing, the ship quickly started to be surrounded by local legionnaires from there spot on the world, securing the landing zone from local law enforcement, as was customary. "Landing sight secured, VIP can embark to the meeting whenever he so desires."

Tiara

"Coordinates received, my Grace. Have a safe landing. By Holy Terra Imperia, out." Tiara said, saluting the Admir and closing the channel. She reached for the number pad on the left arm of her captain's chair and keyed in a bunch of numbers.

"Navigations, here are the coordinates for our designated landing zone. Make it happen.." Tiara instructed, sitting back and watching her ship descend unto the atmosphere of Central Prime, following closely after the Grand Ark.

It soon landed according to the coordinates given by the Admir, which placed them not too far away from the Grand Ark, and it took up the space of roughly 4 CFC ships. Upon landing, the captain got up and summoned for the Legionnaire Commander onboard. "Colonel, have your troops to set up a defence perimeter around the Phantom. I will not have my ship's security compromised." she instructed. The colonel nodded and within minutes, legionnaires poured out of the Phantom and were placed on standby for the ship outside, surrounding it.

She put on her hat and her ear piece, opening communications to the Admir. "The Phantom has landed successfully my Grace. Are there any further instructions?" Tiara asked.

Luther arrived at the command deck before the doctor, and saw the crew hard at work, harder then usual. He stood behind the seat that the doctor usually sits in and quickly took command, one of the crew members approaches him Sir, your arrival here is most timely. An Imperial ship has just sent us a message, concerning our allegiance. They want us to reply immediately. Luther looked at the man almost unaffected by the event. Tell them that were not--- But before Luther could finish, the doctor walks in, Luther immediately stops himself. Officer on Deck! he exclaims to the crewmen with all of them giving a salute to the Doctor. He then leans over to the crewman who had approached him and whispers into his ear. Tell the people in the engineroom to prep the engines...

after the conformation Ak'tish boarded a small shuttle, he slowly brought it down, it was a post settlement type, just large enough elegant and easy to fly. The ship exited on of the main hangers of the Quarl, he skimmed the atmosphere a bit until he got the appropriate vector, he brought it into a descent and after re-entry he slowly brought it into a hanger provided and exited the shuttle. he found no gaurd, he needed none. what he did see was an army of legionaries. surrounding a small party of the imperials. "interesting...an audacious show of power, or showing they need the safety...no matter, the power guarantees it. Diplomacy with them will be interesting."

The Reaver and two other completely different Mercenary Ships finally made it to Central Prime, the planet of Councils and politics. It makes Avaria sick to her stomach to even come to such a place… if there is any place that is far more sinful then the Commonwealth, it’s a room full of politicians and ambassadors. Avaria watched as The Reaver prepared to call in for a landing. She saw the sight of the Imperial Armada and couldn’t help but to chuckle a bit. She couldn’t chuckle for long though, One on One, a Hannibal Class ship would not match the Reaver, but two on one never the less the armada vs the three, they’d be destroyed before they could fire. The Reaver raised its banner for the ambassador of The Commonwealth, Jerome Clankerd, and called in to the ports of Central Prime. Avaria stood behind the Comm’s officer, “This is Avaria der Cassiro and Jackson Farritoni of The Reaver, we request landing for Ambassador Clankerd.”

The orbital tower personnel looked upon each other in confusion, ‘Jaegers…Here?’ The Tower’s main director came up to the communications with The Reaver, “You are cleared for landing at sent locations." The others were confused, ‘why he would do that,’ many thought in confusion, but he simply just stated. “I’d rather not Chuck-a-luck with a Farritoni.” The others agreed, and continued with their business.

“Ah man, Ava, I thought you were going to say BlackJack!” Jackson goofed off on the captain’s chair, the captain of the ship not minding one bit. “It is not professional to use Alias’s Mr. Farritoni. That may work on some cheap tramp off some street, but when it comes to business, we need to look proper, and it is Avaria, not Ava.” She stated in a rather cantankerous attitude. A man hovering over the floor came aboard the ship, “Are we there yet? I am getting quite bored with watching the wall.” Avaria couldn’t believe how she got into this situation; a jaeger from the planet of sin and vice guarding a maniac with a political agenda to a world where politics talk about the same exact thing over and over and cannot agree to anything. She felt her purpose was truly meaningless. “We just got clearance to land, however our other escorts are going to stay up in orbit.” Jerome sighed in relief and decided to stay and watch the planet entering the orbit ever so closely.
The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Skitar

As the area was secured by the many legionnaires, the sight of mighty Centurions, towering above the small legionnaires, were an intimidating sight but what came next, even more so. The mighty Praetorians, there golden armor gleaming in the sun as there red robes elegantly blew in the wind, they were truly a sight to behold. "PRAETORIANS! SALUTE!" They all formed rank, holding there mighty spears in the air alongside the legionnaires in a magnificent display of coordination, as is expected from Imperials. "FOR THE PRIMARCH WE LIVE AND FOR THE PRIMARCH WE DIE! ALL GLORY TO TERRA IMPERIA!" Everyone Imperial chanted the same line when this robed old man came out of the Grand Ark, the exalted Primarch himself. All Imperials bowed at his sight, to bask in his light and shadow is truly a great honor for any Imperial.

"Rise, sons and daughters of Terra. It is I who should be honored by your devotion for the Imperia." He's also very humble. The Specialis Muneris got up as everyone else seemed to continue there salute, even though they didn't continues bowing. "Exalted and holy Primarch, what would you have of me..." The Primarch smiled. "Nothing, dear child." "But-" "Do not wory so, dear child. Let the Praetorian do there duties. The crews of the landed ships have 48 hours of rest, as the Primarch decrees. That includes you child." Making a small bow, the Specialis Muneris saluted again, alongside every soldier there. "IN YOUR HONOR, EXALTED PRIMARCH!" With that, the Paretorians escorted the honorable Primarch to a Imperial "chariot", mainly an over sized APC outfitted for Imperial higher ups.

Signaling the Admir, the Specialis Muneris opened a comm link. "I will be heading to this cities touristic locations. I am bound to find a vassal race somewhere in this sector that needs my skills." The Admir just laughed. "You should learn to take it easy once in a while. In Terra's name, you've been ordered rest and leave by the Primarch himself!" He laughed again. "Dont run yourself rampant Specialis Muneris Skitar. Enjoy your leeway."

With that, the Admir opened comm with the Phantom. "Captain Tiara Kyrsk, you and your crew have been granted 48 hours rest and leeway. The local legionnaires will ensure ship security. Enjoy the splendures of Central Prime while you can, it is a magnificent place to visit. By Holy Terra Imperia, out. "

Luther pulled back the guy he sent to the engine room, and gave a nod over to the crew member. Seems they've actually listened to reason this time. Return to your post. He then follows the Doctor out the door. But of course. I'd be honored to. As the doors closed behind him, Luther could finally talk a little more freely without the crew watching on him. We'll you look happy doctor. Can't say I blame you. Anyways, shall we take your Midnight Wing down to the surface? he asks, checking on his Stasis Gun and Plasma Cutter.

"Legion Master Markron!, the neutral planet has been sighted!" Hmm, already, seems our computers are becoming faster and more accurate every day. Right sir, we have had the technicians working with them night and day! "Hmm very well, it seems our time of waiting has finally ended", he looked down at the monitor in front of him displaying the planet before them, "Solider, what did you say was happening today?" "A meeting between all the major races in this galaxy, all ships are ready and awaiting the go to land, or if you wish only the flesh and gears can land! "No, tell all ships to orbit, but do not send any to land, is that understood?" "Yes sir, but what do I tell the captains of the other ships?" "Well make something up, unless..." he said, his voice changing into something sinister, "you want to tell them of our dear friend the puppeteer?" The once confidant face of the officer was now replaced by one of sheer terror, he could barley keep his voice from quaking, "N-n-n-no sir, I shall tell them something, we would not want our friend angry!" "Good, now begone, I need time to talk to our friend, is that understood?" "Y-y-y-yes sir, understood!" The officer left the room and the legion master smirked, fool, the only reason he is where he is is because he knows of him. Hearing a crackle and a hiss behind him he turned around and saw the image of the true leader. "Puppet master, I was just about to call you." "Thats well, have you told any of the ships to land?" "Non sir, I was about to contact you to ask what our course of action was to be." "Good, you shall not land nor any of your ships, only I shall land." "But sir, are you sure?, I mean will you be safe?" "rest assured Markron, for I have the twenty with me, I shall be safe as long as I am with them, plus we all know that I can be a most destructive fighter, Puppet master out." The connection closed and the Puppet master turned around to the twenty people behind him. "Prepare the ship to land, as soon as we hit the floor me and Cristina will exit, her in her usual disguise, you all will engage stealth and come out one by on and follow us using our link, keep close but not so close so it is apparent we are a group, understood?" All of the twenty save the small robot to his side saluted, "Yes Puppet Master!". As the ship landed the robot to his side spoke, "The Markron had a point, this could be dangerous, are you sure about this?" "Of course, there is no doubt in my mind that anything could go wrong, in the case that does happen we shall be enough to crush anyone who dares challenge us!" "Yes sir." The ships ramp opened at that moment and the two exited, looking around at the city they took off to the location where they had heard the meeting was to take place to see who they should ally themselves with for they where in need for ally's.

Tiara

"Very nice.." Tiara thought as she closed her comm link on her earpiece and looked to her crew and the legionnaires. She smiled and faced them with a revitalized look and took in a deep breath and opened her comm link to her crew onboard the ship and the legionnaires surrounding it.

"ATTENTION!"

The crew and legionnaires both stood to attention, ready to receive the instructions of their Captain.

"Gentlemen. We've worked hard for this and we have come a long way, and therefore, by the order of our Exalted Primach, we have been granted 48 hours of rest and leeway. You are dismissed! Enjoy!"

All of them did a loud morale-boosting battlecry and the legionnaires soon poured back into the Phantom, putting back their weapons and armour and dressing into their lighter military clothing, stepping out rowdily and some already heading for the bars and pubs in the city. Some of the crew joined the legionnaires as well, but the remainder used this time to go back to their bunks and rest, mostly the engineering divisions of the ship.

Tiara went back to her quarters to change out of her thick uniform and armour. She swapped that with a red shirt with the emblem of the Holy Imperia on the left and a black skirt. She strapped her guns to her waist and headed out of the ship, most of the officers turning their heads to see the rare of sight of their beautiful wolf-lass captain in causal wear.

But she soon realized that she seemed to be the only furnakin among the allegiance of the Terra Imperia, and it irked her. The CFC would insult her in the streets and some of the eager ones might even report this back to their superiors if they were to trace her origins. Maybe even her real name...

She quickly went up to the Grand Ark and approached the Admir. She saluted and looked down for a while, then looked back at him again. "My Grace, if I may so humbly request..would you mind accompanying me while I tour the city? I can assure you that while am a loyal Terra Imperia citizen and Captain in the armed forces but I am still biogically a furnakin and I'm afraid the CFC will charge me for treason if they ever find out my true origins..somehow..besides I've never been around the city before...perhaps you can show me?" Tiara asked.

Admir Lucitius

The Admir found it odd a bit that she seemed uneasy with the CFC. "The greedy cowards of the CFC might as well declare all out war for actively kidnapping and putting on trial a Imperial citizen. But I accept your offer, it has been a while sense my last visit." Unlike the captain however, the Admir started to leave in full uniform. "Firs stop, the touristic center would be best. We might see some Imperial tourists while were there."

Skitar

Skitar made his way to the touristic center, seeing countless numbers of races and aliens from across the galaxy. It is quite a surprise to him how the local forces manages to keep the peace, Terra Imperia would never allow such a melding of different species, preferring to give each vassal and conquered race there own world to stop culture clashes and ethnic tensions. Speaking of tensions, no one could cause it more then the sight of a Mechanux.

One of the giant metal beings seemed to be in an argument with with an Ynu of all things. "Ynu, female, clothing suggests royalty of some sort..." Checking his files on the Mechanux, his rather small sheet came into view on his wrist computer. "A Logistakor of all things... In the name of Holy Terra what is it doing here?!" He decided to stay back and just watch the two from afar, hiding in the crowd forming around the Ynu and the Mechanux, watching what would happen next.

Tiara

The white wolf wagged her tail as the Admir agreed to be with her for her city tour. She felt a better sense of security with him. At least she made the right decision to ask him along. With a stature that slightly towered over her, he would at least be able to hide her from the cussings of the locals and the CFCs which now invaded the various roadside pubs and places of entertainment.

The short journey to the touristic center however, wasn't that much pleasant. Just as she predicted, the locals and the CFCs soldiers had been staring at a female Furnakin Imperial Officer strolling down the street. It wasn't because she was beautiful, but all they saw was an abomination. Their eyes widened in awe and shock and soon whispers emerged within the crowds at a few pubs, still having an eye on her closely.

"...what the [censored].."

"..are my eyes deceiving me..."

"traitor...she'll hang for sure.."

"this is treason...such a fine lass too.."

..So were the common whispers which rang among them and this all begun to sink into her mentally.

The CFC furnakins snarled with disgust when they had scented her presence and kept a predator-like glare upon Tiara and it caused her to tug on the sleeves of the Admir. "My Grace, let us hurry..this is so unbe...I mean..this is so annoying...I wish they were dead." she whispered, walking much more briskly towards the center. There seemed to be some sort of commotion which stirred up.
