War for the Stars- forum Roleplay


BaconShelf

Recommended Posts

It is the year 2578, and humanity has made great advances in they years following the Wars that nearly caused their extinction and is now much more powerful than ever! Recently though, remnants of the Insurrectionidts that plagued the UNSC over fifty years ago have resurfaced, with new technology of their own. Recent Fighting has caused many colonies to break away, and begin their own ideals.

 

This is where you come in- you must create a faction(using the faction sheet below) and join the battle between hindreds of worlds in an attempt to gain control of one of the largest empires since the Forrunners.

 

Rules-

-The flagship of a fleet can be no bigger than the Infinity or similar size.

-Slipspace travelling can take a few weeks for nearby planets, and months for further away planets.

-Humans cannot jump accurately and must exit millions of kilometres away from a planet

-covenant can arrive next to a planet

-No OP faction

-No forerunner/precursor faction UNLESS it is done EXTREMELY well (Sentinels, Prometheans, monitors from installations are fine though)

-Same with Flood and Ancient human factions

-it would take weeks, if not months to conquer a planet. GLASSING IS PROHIBITED AND MUST BE AGRREED UPON!

-invading an occupied planet/system must be agreed upon

-there should be two-three people operating a faction- one as a higher up person and two normal people/soldiers

- remember the powers if weapons. A CCS battlecruiser can not take a MAC round from an ODP and survive etc

 

 

 

Kjal 'Votramee looked upon the 'Votramee keep. Many species were hard at work within the concentric circular structure, building and tending to ships, artefacts and buildings. The place was a fortress, he had the luck to have an entire temple in his backyard! Since discovered, his clan had warred until the place was a fortress, establishing the 'Votramee dominance in the area.

The Grand Admiral entered the bridge of the U.C.R.S. Unreleting. He looked at the reports coming in.

 

"First and third armys have been moblised, Armed forces on secondary alert, All bays reporting combat ready.

 

The situation on the entire planet was tense. They had been alone for a long time and now the galaxy was about to come knocking on their door.

They would watch and wait, until either the covenant tried to burn the planet from their cold, dead hands, or the UNSC tried to "reclaim" it's property.

"Admiral, cruisers Shadowing Spirit, Pinnacle of Truth and Light in the Darkness reporting green lights for lift-off. The stealth prowler Leave no Trace is ready to provide fire support and exfoliate, should we need it" reported the Human stood by his side. "What destination should we plot?" A holo map was pulled up.

"This planet, deep in the former territory of the 'youenessee' is littered with Artefacts. Prepare the jump into slipstream, talk peace with the inhabitants into joining the Talon. Or destroy them." Ordered the eight foot Sangheili. "Our Assault Carrier will wait on the other side of the fourth planet in the system, if we are in need of support."

Jozef Kirenov Pulled his "Berkut" fighter into a climb. It was his 100th combat Patrol on Ozgiuliath. Somewhat of an achievement considering the Antiquity of the Refurbished Su-47, the Old Russian Fighter Jet. The Insurrectionists had made a settlement on Ozguiliath in hope of establishing a fallback point, far out of the UNSC's reach. They had never expected the OFO to be here. Neither had they expected it to be their Home world.

 

"Command, this is Raven 1-5," Jozef Called into his Mask. "Everything seems quiet. Requesting permission to RTB. over."

 

"Negative Raven 1-5, we have a blip on the radar. About 6 Kilometers south of your position. we need you to check it out. over." The distinctively In-Human Voice replied.

 

"Come on K'dal. I've Been out here all day. Isn't Vad'r out here too? Over."

 

"That's a negetive, Jozef. Raven 1-4 had an Afterburner Flameout. He had to RTB for maintenance. You're the closest to it. Over and out."

 

Jozef Sighed, pulling the stick to roll his fighter, and shifting his course to the south.

Commander Zax stepped onto the bridge of the Darku Zad.

Soldiers and Engineers worked busily at their stations getting the ship systems ready for the weapons test.

 

"I want the main canon charged and ready to fire in 12 seconds!" Zax commanded as he tapped his datapad, looking through the ships new collective armoury

The Chief's weapons officer tapped on his console activating the charge sequence and taking aim at the asteroid 60 Kilometres from the ships stern.

 

The weapon slowly gathered energy before it was ready to fire.

 

"Fire!" Shouted Zax

 

The Weapons officer sarted teh firing sequcne and the canon let out a massive bolt of red light that soared across space, impacted with the asteroid and shattered it into tiny pieces.

The three CCS cruisers, Assault Carrier and former ONI prowler stepped back into normal space, they bared upon the world, called 'Citadel V' according to older navigation maps. They hailed the planet, wishing to send a group to discuss treatment of artefacts on the planet.

The Admiral looked over the screen.

 

"They're finally here. Get the fleet into a defensive poistion, alert the ground!"

 

The Unrelenting launched several interceptors and put them in key tactical poistions.

 

One of the bridge officers signaled the Admiral to come over to him.

 

"What is it LT?"

 

He looked at the screen.

 

"Open the communication! Attention Alien vessels, state your intentions immeadietly. Entering a 20000KM radius will be seen as an act of agression!"

"We are Talons of Sanghelios, this is Fleetmaster Zhak 'Votramee, requesting prescence to land a diplomatic team. Our scans show prescense of artefacts." Was the message. The battleships stopped moving just outside the requested range. The Prowler activated cloak and continued forward, undetected. The carrier slipped around the planet with Slipspace, emerged behind its moon, and waited for a call to action.

The Admiral took some time to consider the request.

 

"Dipolmatic you say? Very well, the Unforgiving will meet with your transports at 10000KM and will escort your team to the meeting of place of the planet. You may have no more then three transport vessals and two escorts per vessal. Are these terms agreeable? I will await your response."

 

He closed the channel for the time being.

One of the crewmen spoke up.

 

"Sir, one of their ships vanished from our sensors some time ago, we can't find it now."

 

"Cloaking device maybe? Can they even do that now? I'm going to assume that now, but we won't do anything yet. If it enters the atmosphere, it's going to be brought down immeadietly. It can only observe us."

 

"Prepare the transport to the surface. Tell the General and the President what the situation is."

Ship commander Zax walked to the front of the bridge and leaned over the weapons officer.

"Good job soldier, get that canon safe and weapons powered down"

 

Zax stepped back to his seat.

"Make a marker for the Epsilon Irindi System, Planet Arteron...Id like to be there sooner rather then later" Zax spoke to the Navigation officer

"One Lich heavy dropship and two Pelicans began to make their way to the rendezvous point. Each one had two squads, or in the case of the Lich, a Platoon made up of various Sangheili and Human forces. Alongside we're three Seraph fighters, two LongSwords and a Sabre.

 

The Prowler remained outside the planets orbit, guns tracking the area around the ships. Anything that began to shoot, they'd know about it.

The Unforgiving docked the craft and proceded towards the fleet. The teams were then escorted aboard several transport craft and flown down to the planet. They were led to a large open field with three people and Several tanks behind them.

A woman stepped forward to meet them, accompanied by four guards.

 

"I'm president Sevina of the United Colonial Republic, what brings you here?"

 

Their was a situation brewing on the other side of the planet however. Masses of unidentified craft were entering the planet.

High-altitude interceptors were on their way to engage them, only several minutes outside weapons range.

Above Planet Arteron, Epsilon Erindi System

 

"This is Ship Commander Zax of the Darku Zad, all ships move into formation, we're waiting here for more orders"

 

Several frigates jumped in and took positions near the Darku Zad.

A Blockade was formed while the fleet waited for further order's from high command

Jozef saw the target ahead of him. And old Sabre fighter. Flying alone.

 

"Right. Like I haven't seen this trick before."

 

Jozef rolled his fighter over. Flying upside down, He searched the landscape.

 

"There you are!"

 

Longswords. Three of them. It was the oldest trick ever. Present an easy target, Swarm it's attacker, shoot him down. Jozef flipped the fighter back over.

 

"Command, Raven 1-5. Target spotted, Sabre Flying Bait for three Longswords. Moving to destroy. How copy?"

 

"Raven 1-5, Solid copy. Engage and Destroy out."

 

Jozef rolled left and slid in behind the Longswords. He lit up his Sky-breaker missile. The Targeting Computer Chirped three times. Jozef flipped up the safety tab, then hit the launch switch.

 

The missile left its track, Flew for about 300 meters, then split into 6 separate missiles.

 

Only the front Longsword had time to react, and even then, it was too late. The missiles decimated the other 2 Longswords, the last managed to take the hit on it's wing, but it was sent spinning to the ground.

 

"Raven 1-5 confirming 3 Splashed."

 

"Affirmative 1-5."

 

Moving over to the Sabre, Jozef trained his Aiming reticule over it, he squeezed the Stick's trigger. .30 caliber Dum-Dum rounds cut through the Old fighter. The Sabre Broke into pieces.

 

"Raven 1-5 confirming 1 Blitzed."

 

"Affirmative 1-5, No more contacts on radar. You are clear to RTB, Jozef. Over."

 

"Roger. See you in 10 K'dal. Out."

 

Jozef Push the throttle forward. He was looking forward to his R'n'R, And his Offices minifridge was sure to be well stocked with "Presents" for his 100th successful Patrol.

 

"A nice stiff drink would be fabulous right now." Jozef thought. "Followed by a nice Shower."

The Fleetmaster, and two Human shipmasters accompanied by their contingent of guards holstered their weapons.

"Fresident" began the Sangheili, unable to pronounce the 'P' sound. "Our ships luminaries state numerous Forunner temples lay scattered around this world. The Talon of Sanghelios is devoted to finding, researching and using Artefacts to benefit us, or protect the ones too powerful for other species to have. Now, we request access to, and the ability to establish permanent bases on these relic sites." He looked up. "If we cannot research these places in peace, we will have to take them by force." He finished, as guards of both sides raised weapons and turned off the safeties.

The Darku Zad sat in silence in space, with 4 Frigates and 2 war cruisers forming a circular blockade around the massive ship.

Light's flashed on and off, but no movement was made.

Inside the ships however was a hive of movement, as soldiers made there way to their work stations, to bed or to the mess hall to eat.

Many were wearing their Assault armour without the helmet.

This armour was designed for ground battle's, but since the Planet Gordian was lost to some unknown force, many of the soldiers on the Darku Zad were once ground infantry who requested to stay aboard the Darku to assist them.

 

Commander Zax had made his way to his room and was sitting in his chair , making a message for his loved ones back on his home planet.

He set the datapad down and grabbed a glass full of his favourite drink , Schola Water, and drank it down eagerly.

 

"Tonight is going to be quiet " He mentioned to himself as he set teh glass down and picked the datapad back up

"Fleetmaster I assume? First, I would like to remind you that these tanks are manned, this area is keyed in by several hundred artillery guns and snipers and that orbital support is ready to at the flick of a switch. Now, I suggest you don't go making demands and start by telling me 'nicely' what these artefacts are."

 

It was almost Immeadiatly after the that there could be objects in the skies. A massive volley of bullets left the Two AA tanks and proceeded to knock several of them out. Several interceptors were engaging the invaders, while the 8th, 34th, 49th and 105th squadrons were on their way.

 

The admiral came storming over towards the fleetmaster, assualt rifle in hand.

 

"Is this an act of war? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?"

A message flashed across Commander Zax's Screen..

 

"Commander Zax, your hereby ordered to move your patrol fleet into deep space, towards the milky way galaxy, do NOT however, enter the galaxy, stay on the rim and report directly to me.... Admiral Skedder"

 

The Commander sat up and relayed co-ordinates to the Navigation officer and walked to the bridge.

 

"I want everyone on alert, I wouldn't like to be caught out by anything or anyone" Zax said sternly, his troops obeying and setting the ship on course to the Milky way.

 

The Darku Zad entered slip space and shot towards the Rim of the Milky Way, the other frigates and cruisers close behind.

Jozef walked off the runway.

 

He noticed a familiar Sanghelli walking from the control tower.

 

"K'dal!"

 

"Jozef." Came the usual cold reply.

 

"Come on. 100 missions working together outta mean something."

 

"Right. it means you are lucky enough to live long."

 

Jozef stared at the Sanghelli. K'dal stared back.

 

A "Smile" cracked the Sanghelli's lips.

 

"Gets you everytime friend."

 

Jozef shook his head.

 

"You gotta learn to read when a human is faking it K'dal."

 

"And you need to learn how to 'fake it' Jozef"

 

"Ouch... Alright, you got me. Drinks later?"

 

"Yes. I'm beginning to take a liking to your kinds 'alcohol.'"

 

"I'll make a human outta you yet."

 

"And maybe I'll make you a warrior, but you don't see me 'crossing my fingers' as you'd say."

 

They shared a laugh.

 

"Now Jozef, if you'll excuse me, I need to go deliver the mission report, wouldn't want your recent kills to go unrecorded."

 

"Definitely not! Three more and I'll hit Ace status."

 

"Your fourth Ace status, if I'm not mistaken."

 

"So I'm a good pilot, Sue me."

 

"Maybe I will. Goodbye Jozef."

 

"See ya K'"

 

Jozef walked into the Officers barracks. His door was locked, just as he'd left it. He put in his door code and stepped inside. Jozef sat at his desk and began to file his personal Mission report.

 

"Bureaucracy. Gotta love it."

Sentinels and Enforcers raced out of the ships to greet with many human and covenant forces.

 

"Deal with them! I'm going to the Admiral!" Nova yelled to his forces.

 

Nova appeared on the planet's surface near the Admiral, President and Fleetmaster. Two marines opened fire at the Oracle but they were incinerated by Nova's laser.

 

"Neither of you have any right to study what is here! It belongs to us! The Forerunner A.I.s!" Nova yelled. Two enforcers appeared next to Nova and turned red, ready to attack at a moments notice.

 

"Now... rather then more.. bloodshed between all of us, I suppose we could come up with deal?" The Oracle asked.

"Get the hell off my planet. I have a nuclear strike inbound at these loactions. If I don't call them off in the next ten minutes, those sites will become nothing more the liquid rock."

 

The Admiral stepped forward.

 

"Listen you floating pile of scrap, If you even dare to come back within a million miles of this planet, I'll kill you myself. Think you're faster then the speed of light? So are the rail guns I have pointed at you."

 

"Now both of you, put several hundred thousand kilometers distance between yourself and the planet, or by god I'll give you a war so costly it'll haunt you to your childrens graves. Play nice and so will we, understand?!"

The Darku Zad and it's fleet came out of slip space near the milky Way's rim and set up sensor sweeps.

The Frigates and Battle Cruisers took positions close by.

 

"This is Commander Zax to any nearby alien ships, Im here to discuss a defence treaty with any neighboring Civilisations and or military forces, this message will be on repeat and will contain co ordinates to our fleets postion. Any hostilities will be met with deadily force." Zax spoke into the comm station.

 

"Ok soldier get that on repeat and we will just sit here and wait, hopefully someone out there will respond soon" The commander said as he sat back into his seat, adjusting his Chest plate
