[IC] Void of the Stars II: Return to the Stars [Sci-Fi] [Always Accepting]

Correction: These packages are actually isolated from radiation; only the exterior of the cubes has been exposed, but the contents are "cleaned" and thus is safe to handle. Of course, the cube breaks off while still in descent, so expect a safe delivery coming down. Packages of.... terraforming materials... will descend to designated areas you have picked in the coordinates.

As for the Equestrians, we need a test subject for that. Moon, asteroid, or an empty ship (and that being preferably), please point out to us something so we can demonstrate our arcane magics.

"We might have a spare Freighter or two, give me a moment."

A short amount of time passed before a large ship arrived, the Equestrians beeped a short message indicating where the docking ports where. When arriving onboard there was a wide open space on the ship, however due to its layout and design it had obviously been used as a large cargo bay. Several unicorns stood around and observed, awaiting to see what they would do.

Chaos
"You used your powers one me. That is considered a attack within the Equestrian Empire. You have just declared war."

The barrier dropped, but only it seems to allow the massive amounts of firepower coming towards the ship to destroy the ship. Every defensive platform and ship within the system was firing at the ruined Dreadnought, completely and utterly obliterating it.

Trandoshans
The Hardlight rounds were devestating forces and cities, however the Trandoshans refuse to give up. They manage to get a small portion of the cannon defensive system back online, and are using it to bombard the ships away from orbit. Forces seemed to retreat but have gone into hiding, preventing them from being tracked down and allowing them to ambush and make stealth attacks on the Triarian Forces. Full powered nukes are also deployed against the habitat walkers harpoints, the are hoping by destroying the walkers they can make the Triarii retreat at least until they can be more prepared.

[darkwolf687]

((Saying that you completely obliterate someone else's forces, particularly when it seems they have only got a single ship, is pretty unfair and powergamy, it'll look sloppy if he has a plan to get out of this and you say you obliterate it, only for him to enact a plan and make that line irrelevant))

Trandoshans

The Nuclear fallout angers the Collective, as they are afraid it may contaminate their prize. As a result, the majority of the fleet turns it's attention to the nuclear launch sites, while the Hastati ships jump onto the planet and use their point laser defenses in an attempt to bring down the nuclear defenses. The Evocatus One has fired it's energy projector on low power at one of the cities in an awesome, beautiful and terrifying show of force and the city seethes.
The Trandoshans stealth tactics do not appear to be meeting much success, and it seems that squads with Triarian officers or overseers leading them pick out where the enemies are, even in situations it might seem impossible, and act accordingly. Scanners have also been deployed, the little hovering mechs scouring the planet for enemy forces and spotting them for bombardment.
Reaper drones are deployed to collect resources and people, beaming them back to the assembly walker for usage. Defilers are also deployed alongside Triarian forces on the planet, seeking out the resistance elements and firing their mutagenic weaponry on them. Hunters, while already on the planet, have now changed to their search and destroy directive, hunting out enemy forces

((Yep I also didn't use my power against you either all Nihlus did was try to be intimidating, it's power as in authority.))

Now that the suppression field was down the dreadnought immediately started it's warp drives and opened a portal, equestrian fire began battering the already damaged ship. But there was an upside to this. The fire created a perfect cover for them to escape by.

For anyone viewing the destruction they would have thought the Chaos vessel obliterated.

Ayaerid
We do have fissile growing crystals fresh from our homeworld, capable of being used as an explosive device in any wars you fight (and since it grows, though slow, feel free to harvest it nigh-unlimitedly as long as you don't let it spread too much and eat the minerals in the soil). Aside from that, we only have conventional space weaponry such as lasers, torpedoes, and low-level railguns, mainly due to our dependence on arcane magics as our main armaments. In exchange for these offers, we like to ask you a favor aside from whatever higher form of the previously mentioned weapons we request...

Send some ships to the designated coordinates, to one of the Lakfakalle Cooperative Federation's worlds. We are currently conducting a surprise attack on them, but we're still working on the surprise part.

[null123]

Trandoshans
"Stop! We surrender..."

Kashyyyk
The planet was home to the wookies, a relatively new species to the stars. While the Triarii had observed them through a stealth and deemed them to be collectivized as a client race. However unknowing to the Triarians the Equestrians met the Wookies and had peaceful contact. They began sending missionaries and agreed to defend the wookies. The planet currently had a fleet orbiting it as well as one completed defense station, a planetary shield, and in construction station, and several defenses on the moon of Kashyyyk. The wookies were slowly converting to the Church of Faust, and while it would be a while, they would fall into the Equestrians net, annexing them.

[darkwolf687]

Trandoshans

"Surrender accepted, you shall be assimilated into the great good, lay down your arms, civilis protectione Xenos branch shall be estbalished. All police forces shall be assimilated into CCA. All military forces shall be assimilated into Equitem. Planetary security is established" A Triarian voice returned, as more dropships moved down towards the planet and portals opened, letting soldiers move out and onto the floor to secure the planet

Kashyyyk

The Collective force, with the same numbers composition as the fleet which had invaded Trandoshans, arrived in system above the planet and slowly drifted towards it, broadcasting a message
"Attention, please. Planetary body to be collectivised. Resistors shall be amputated." The AI broadcasted

[null123]

Kashyyyk
"Denied. Planet is under protection of the Equestrian Empire."

A lone ship
The black ship drifted, its engine silent in the void of space. Despite this it was active, and on board was a small farm and living quarters. It was home to the last of the Void Humans, there kind having been mostly destroyed during the Universal War. The Void pods were active, constantly trying to produce new void humans. The all worried that one day they would all be destroyed. They were looking for a new home amongst the stars, but there FTL activated, but the wrong coordinates were used, and they ended up in Triarian space.

Above Lakfalle
A lone Equestrian ship arrived above Lakfalle, the voice of the High Archmage was broadcasted to the planet.
"We need one representative from each of the Lakfalle races, and we also request that the Delphans send Fairlan and the Humans Emily. We have a gift for you."

[darkwolf687]

Kashyyyk

"Denial denied, abandon protection of planetary body."

Lone ship

A Civilis Protectione moniter picked it up from an outer space station, and tapped a few commands into the terminal. Two Civilis Protectione ships was deployed and closed in on the ship, taking up position on either side of it and transmitting a message
"You are in Collective space. Apply. State reason, state situation. Do not flee, do not fight" A Triarian said over the communications link, and the ships raised shields and powered weapons in case the ship attempted to fight them

[null123]

Kashyyyk
"Denial of our denial denied. The wookies do not wish to be apart of the Collective."

Lone Ship
"Miscalculated FTL jump, if you can spare we are low on food."
The void human after saying that over the comms growled to himself. It was the Triarii, they hated them, but know he had to ask them for food. Brilliant.

[darkwolf687]

Kashyyyk

"Wishes considered, promptly ignored. Extract, planetary body to be collectivised. Provide alternative..." The voice said again, the fleet still moving forwards towards the planet through the black void of space, raising their shields and preparing their weaponry for combat should it come

Lone ship

"Food is restricted to the Collective. Apply, identify" The Civilis Protectione said, as their ships moved in a circle around the lone ship, like sharks circling a meal

[null123]

Lone Ship
"We are apart of the Shosone Allaince. Registered 800 vessels within the Shosone, as well as 40 planets."
It was a damn lie of course, but the Void Humans were good at lying, that and they were resistant to Psionics because of there void abilities, as well as the hull was designed to resist Psionic powers.

Kashyyyk
"Please wait for a official diplomatic team to bring up proposals."

Lone Ship
"Identify Shosone Location, people, biology, society, military strength" The Civilis Protectione ordered, continuing to circle their prey with their weapons trained on the target before them, making it obvious that they were ready to attack should the ship attempt to evade them

Kashyyyk
"1/10 Planetary Rotations granted for proposal submission. Failure to comply will result in pacification."

Collectivisation reports

All Trandoshans remaining on the planet have been added to the Collective, phase three of the process is underway
A different species of strange parasitic life forms have been discovered, they have the ability to couple with the head of a host to control them and secret hormones to force the body to mutate. They have been termed, aptly 'Parasitics' by the military, and their hosts are known as 'Necrotics'. As they are non sentient, they have been 'claimed' and the world they inhabited has been claimed, bringing the Triarian world count to a total of 32 once more

[null123]

Lone Shop
"Information classified by Shosone Council."

Kashyyyk
A ship boarded the modified wookie station.
"Please send diplomatic team so terms of alternative can be discussed."

[darkwolf687]

Lone Ship

"Classification denied, you shall reveal this information immediately"

Kashyyyk

The Triarian ships drifted forwards, then came to a half, and two dropships launched and began to fly towards the station across the black background, the odd insect like dropships looking very out of place

[null123]

Lone Ship
"Revealing that information to outsiders warrants death penalty."

Kashyyyk
The hangars of the station opened to let the Drop-Ships in, and as soon as they passed into the hangars any Psionics aboard noted that they could no longer use there Psionics, the strongest Psionics might have been barely able to use there Psionics but even then it was so weak as to be worthless. The ships landed within the hangars and saw that there was a lot of wookies and Equestrian troops watching, more then the triarians would have expected.

[darkwolf687]

Lone Ship

"Failure to comply will result in malcompliance charge. Reveal information"

Kashyyyk

The two dropships landed in the hanger, making their odd noise as the weapon mounted on the back of the pod swept over the beings, as if searching for targets. The back off the drop pod opened and Saeva Simius stormed off, a total of 10 in each pod. They brought their weapons to bear and knelt down, training their weapons on the Equestrians and wookies. Behind them stepped off two Trans-Lance Humans, who placed down an orange crystal and waiting... and waiting... and waiting
"Defectum autem fictus triarii" One reported over the radio, taking a few steps to the side

[null123]

Lone ship
"Arm the PPCs" ordered the Void Human commander. The comm link had been cut off and only a few seconds after a blast went around and hit all of the Triarian ships. They were caused great pain as the ship managed to jump and escape.

Kashyyyk
The wookies and Equestrian on board the station still had the numbers. A griffon approached the team
"You will be restricted to three diplomats with 2 guards per a diplomat, anyone else will have to stay here. Oh and unless the Triarii with you are some of the best Psionics in the Collective then I wouldn't use the crystal, Psionics are be actively blocked aboard this station."

[darkwolf687]

Lone ship

The two Civilis Protectione ships jumped into pursuit after it, following it's

Kashyyyk

The Trans Lance Human looked towards the Equestrian, pausing for a moment "Language found. Failure to establish psi link." He reached up and removed his helmet, revealing his sickly face. Just in sight was a small black spot in his neck and was still bald, revealing him as being recently augmented. His eyes with an odd yellowish and his skin was pale. He opened his mouth... just opened it, hanging it open eerily as he spoke in a mechanical voice. Moving it was irrelevant for his mechanical voice it seems. A recently augmented being was certainly a grotesque sight, strikingly different to their longer serving counter parts, who tended to have regained a more healthy looking appearance. "You shall cease your movement in a forwards direction. Restriction denied."

[null123]

Kashyyyk
"Then the meeting shall be conducted in here" said the Griffon. However as the diplomats from both sides situated themselves, 20 Griffons in that odd black red glowing armor appeared around the edge of the hangars. They didn't seemed to have any visible weapons however.

Equestrian Research
Research onto Dark Energy weapons and sentient AI has begun.

Selkath Triarii World
A Selkath was just awaking from bed, when he heard a voice in his head.
"Do not be afraid. You are not one of my children, yet I cannot bear to see you suffer under the Triarii anymore. You have something they don't, a soul. It allows you greater emotion, it allows you to believe. You shall be my prophet. The seeds of rebellion are in these poor souls, now it is time to cultivate them. Go to the streets, preach my words, my ideology, and lead these souls to rebellion."
The selkath then began heading towards the square of the city, trying to find a spot where he would be heard by all.
