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 [Hider= Invasion force, Space] Velites Corvette One Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Velites Corvette Two Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Velites Corvette Three Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Venator Frigate One Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Venator Frigate Two Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Venator Frigate Three Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Hastati Cruiser One Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Hastati Cruiser Two Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding:100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Hastati Cruiser three Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Princeps Destroyer One Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding:100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Princeps Destroyer Two Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding:100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Princeps destroyer Three Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Evocatus Battleship One Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Evocatus Battleship two Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Evocatus Battleship Three Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Aquilifer Carrier One Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Aquilifer Carrier Two Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Aquilifer Carrier Three Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Praetorian Ship of the line One Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% Praetorian Ship of the line two Status: Green Hull: 100% Shielding: 100% Weapon Strength: 100% Reactor: 100% [/hider]
