"The third and fourth fleets are prepared emperor."

"Has the senate ratified the declaration of war?"

"Yes."

"Tell the fleets to jump, and I want all reserves brought up, and the warships under construction to be fast tracked."

"The enemy seems to be rather heavily entrenched in their home system. Can we call up the second fleet too?"

"Yes, send them in."

Second Fleet
3 dreadnaughts
4 battleships
16 cruisers
20 frigates
50 patrol destroyers
(OOBs for the third and fourth fleets are already in the thread somewhere.)

FIRE!!!

The 1st and 2nd fleets guns sounded. Well, as much as they could sound in space, which wasnt much.

They intercepted the Goa'Uld fleet while in a battle line formation, and the entire broadside armament of each and every ship was brought to bear.

Spheres of iron hurling through space at .2c slammed into shields as the Goa' Uld ships saw the staggering numbers and turned to run.

Before they could even turn, one ship exploded, its shields taken down and its hull smashed.

But the rest of the fleet managed to turn, and ran the arcane ships stayed with the dreadnoughts, and turned, they could take down one more before they got out of range and escaped.

Destroyers surged forward, firing their forward weapons in volleyes at a damaged straggler. Its shields soon dropped, ands its hull was riddled with punctures and massive holes before it explodes.

The Arrcane managed to damage the other ships, but couldnt keep a bearing on them long enough to destroy them before they esxcaped interdiction range, and fled.

3 Destroyers were lost, destroyed by the rear weaponry of the Goa'Uld fleet.

HOld up with the war, another PC is typing a post.......

[Alyrium Denryle]

After that, the 1st and third fleets shifted into the astral plane headed toward Goa'Uld space.

[Captain tycho]

OOC: I meant to post this BEFORE the attack happened, but I was a tad bit busy, so just assume this happened earlier.

The fleet in orbit of Halo warped into the Goa'uld system at high speed, and spread out, guns at the ready. The following message was broadcast from the command ship:

Kyrntos empire, you are hearby ordered to surrender. We may have had a trade alliance, but we cannot abide your recklessness. Surrender now.

In hundreds of flashes of light, the entire goa'ould defensive fleet except for 1 damanged mothership flees, headed away from known space.

[FROM THE PLANET]
"In the face of overwheilming odds, and the massive defection in our millitary. The Kyrnor empire surredner UNCONDITIONALY to the R'hlloran Free-spacer Confedeary. May you show mercy on us."

[Rogue 9]

[Sixth Fleet forces committed:

10 Sun Striker class carriers
24 Dawn Raider class frigates
10 Solar Flare class destroyers
4 Starlight class destroyers
5 Nova class destroyers]

The Sixth Fleet raiders dropped out of hyperspace just in time to see the Gou'ald fleet jumping out of the system.

Carrier NRS Prominence

"Commodore, Navigation. We've plotted their course. Pursue?"

"Yes. We were sent to deal with fleets, not planets and heavy defenses. Move out, quickly!"

The order went out to the fleet and they followed, every single one clearing the system and leaving the planets to their allies.

[Captain tycho]

The fleet landed and deployed troops on every planet in the system, and took control of the various defense stations and orbital guns within a few hours. Over an open channel, a virtual diplomat, appearing as a human, repeated to the Goa'uld citizens that they could run their nation as they wished, but the Confederacy would take full and complete control of the remaining industries and military units.

[Bugsby]

The Krell taskforce came out of hyperspace, its escorts forming up around the carriers. Quick scans of the system revealed a large military presence, none of it Krynor. Rh'illoran ships swarmed everywhere. The Combine ships were still well outside of the range of Rh'illoran guns, gut the Krell commander sensed that something was up.

"Sir, should I depoly drones?" a lieutenant asked.

"No, keep at the ready. Our clients.... aren't here. We will do nothing until w know something of their whereabouts. Our contract specifically specified that we would not enter a suicidal situation, and without the Krynor here, that's what this would be."

"Are we to wait until the Krynor return, and then engage the Rh'illoran fleet?"

"If they do return... but I don't think that's likely. If they aren't protecting their homeworld, they aren't anywhere. Hail the Rh'illoran fleet. Tell them that we are non-combatants. I don't want any itchy trigger fingers gettin me killed."

"Yes, sir." At a signal to the communications officer, a mesage was sent to the large Rh'illoran fleet.

"Now, lets just wait here. We should receive new orders from the Nexus soon enough. We showed up, our contract is fulfilled. Just make sure you are ready to run if the Rh'illorans don't believe we have no hostile intentions."

"But what if the Krynor do return?"

The commander paused. "Keep men at battle stations, but don't charge the guns yet. We don't want anyone getting the wrong idea."

[Alyrium Denryle]

The Arcane 1st 2nd and 8th fleets dropped out of the Astral plane Out of weapons range of the R'hlloran fleet, but able to bombard the planet with iron projectiles using basic mathematics to calculate tha trajectory.

Edean System
Ouster Occupation Zone, Former Covenant of God Territory

The 3rd War Cluster's escort elements intensified their patrol patterns. Swarms of recon drones sat far out from the system's edge, watching for the tell-tale ripples of enemy cloaked vessles or incoming FTL signatures. The Arcane Empire, already looked at askance for their violent oppression on Ix'agal, was now going to war for reasons the Hajr soldiers of the 3rd War Cluster didn't fully understand. Their orders from Eketrina had been simple- Stand ready, for one never knows where violence will spill over.

The Edean System's first few waves of Ouster colonists had set up a number of small communities in the L points created by Edean's strange gravity wells. Already, The 3rd War Cluster now had to busy itself ensuring these fledgeling regions of Ouster life were safe. Already, the Cluster's losses to the Jardanians had been replaced by the Glorious Return's building slips, using resources harvested from across the system.

[Alyrium Denryle]

Across the arcane empire, and especially within the CoG, everything that had a goa'uld symbiote was systematically arrested, and summarily executed.

The ambassador to the Arcane Empire who was held in a cell, was sent to the 9 hells to suffer in the pits.

The goa'uld spies on the CoG homeworld were rounded up over the next<Insert appropriate time period here> and had their symbiotes ripped from their bodies, and slowly crushed in a vice.

The then-godless operatives were then placed in prison and.. well lets just say that we dont have any problems with cruel and unusual punishment.

[Bugsby]

"How much did the Goa'Uld pay you. We will pay for your services against the R'hllorans if they do not comply."

"The price was 920 million for this taskforce of 8 carriers and 50 blue collar escorts. We would extend the same offer to you. We have already communicated with Nexus, they understand the situation. Transmit a request to the Nexus if you wish to obtain our services. We will hold until we receive orders."

Serial Peacemaker

Kallis nodded permission as the Veithan aid left to get their own data devices. As the door to the conference room opened, two Voidform troopers, in ceremonial attire, stood waiting to escort the diplomatic aid back to the Veithan shuttle. Their uniforms were white with black trim. No expressions could be seen through their helmets, nor could any skin be seen anywhere on their bodies, even in the space between their white gloves and their sleeves. Once the aid returned through the airlock with the device, the troopers paused for a moment and one of them produced a small, hand-held scanner.

“Apologies sir, just a routine scan for hazardous materials, just in case,” the voice of the Voidform trooper was soft and feminine, despite the fact that the trooper’s body was rather masculine. Assuming the aid complied, and no hazardous materials were found, they would escort the aid back to the conference room without any further delays.

Back in the conference room, Da’Noth smiled briefly as Ellana mentioned the Dra’kol. ~If you have not met any of our kind before, then I consider that this meeting is even more fortunate, since this is now your first contact with those such as myself. Naturally, I would be pleased to answer any basic questions you have concerning my people, though I am afraid that I am not trained as a physician, so matters of biology are not among my strengths.~

The Veithan datastream was taken in with much interest by the Ravenlock diplomats, and sensors in the room which had been running since the meeting began recorded each moment faithfully. When it was over, and the Veithan offer of newscasts was made, Kallis paused for a moment, his eyes widening, then smiled respectfully to Ellena. ~You are most generous. We gladly accept your offer. Such information is invaluable, both for the news it contains and the formats you use for data storage and transmission.~

~In return, before you leave, we would like to offer you a token of our gratitude, a few of our own datasystems with a selection of our own art, literature, music, and other miscellaneous media,~ Diego paused as she contacted Captain Matherson, who sent the order down the line to put together “a little Diplomatic Swag Bag”, as the Captain referred to it. ~In the meantime, is there anything else you would like to discuss?~

Transmission from the Arcane Empire

Worry not ouster friends. The Krynor empire was a front for a Goa'Uld system lord and they have been preying on our shipping for some time. As well as kidnapping our naval officers and attacking our troops on the Covenant Homeworld. Do not be alarmed. We wish you no ill will.

Ok, the fleet stays in motion for 2 weeks, how many days until you stop following?

[Captain tycho]

To the Arcane Empire, from the command ship R'kaglh
The only goa'uld here are their hosts.We strongly suggest against such a course of action. The goa'uld military has fled, and what remains of it will be in our control. The civilians are no threat, we can assure you. So far the surrender has been utterly peaceful, and we intend to keep it that way. Slaughtering millions and millions of innocents because of a backward belief that they are inherently evil is pure insanity

[Alyrium Denryle]

We have not bombarded yet.

NRS Prominence

"Commodore, Helm. Our frigates can't keep this up if they expect to have the fuel to get back home, sir. We have to turn back."

"Damn. Should have taken a fleet tender, but how were we supposed to know they'd do this?"

"There was no way you could have known, sir," said the Prominence's captain, standing next to him on the command deck. "We were sent on a raid against a staunch defending force, not for a pursuit against a rapidly retreating enemy."

"You're right, Captain. Drop out of hyperspace. Navigation, take note of this heading; we may want to follow it up soon. Helm, set course for Joyous Gard. Have the Starlight destroyers keep following the enemy. They have longer range. They are to ascertain the destination of the fleet, but they are not to engage."

"Aye, sir."

We wish for you to turn over all symbiotes. They have a genetic memory and actually are inherently evil. They are PARASITES little more than a virus that must be cleansed.

You may leave the hostes alone, it is possible to remove a symbiote. But they WILL be cleansed on way or another.
