The Great Eye, Eos Consortium Space
“It seems out probing attacks have worked my lord”
“Indeed, we know their tactics now. These heretics will understand the true might of the Eos Consortium in due time. I have reviewed the reports from the battles” The armour clad giant replied.
“Agreed Lord, it seems the Union had far more forces on readiness than we anticipated, when we attacked we were overwhelmed however we inflicted heavy damage” The man said in reply, he wore white robes and was bowing not making his eye contact with the lord.
“And of this... Trinova?” The white armoured giant replied, he was huge and sat on a stark white throne, the room was huge and armoured guards flanked either side.
“The battle was closely fought lord, we lost all but several ships. However their forces were completely destroyed, we have observed both races tactics. Our proper crusade will be prepared when they next attack” The bowing man said.
“Excellent, our crusade forces are ready” The Lord replied.
“Yes sir, however we have also noticed some... ships probing our systems. They seem to be using some sort of stealth system however we can see them clearly”
“Have they initiated contact?”
“No Lord”
“Then we shall. However their stealth seems to show they do not praise Eos, perhaps they are potential converts. Go now and contact them”
“Yes my lord”
The bowing man slowly got up and left, he kept bowing as he walked backwards until he was out of the room. There were plans to make.
Rubikon, Capitol Space
“How goes the events on Tau Volaris?” Inara asked staring out into the sea of stars.
“Well my misstress, we have confirmed reports of a joint fleet being assembled just outside the systems bounds. Our forces have dug in and are awaiting orders to attack, as for space assets we have one battleship and two destroyers in orbit to delay and damage their forces” The Capitol admiral replied. The Empress turned.
“Good, I wish to see their forces crushed, with this scenario our ties to other nations which share our goals will increase, we already have ties to the Normans however I also wish to investigate these 'Cultists' if we can gain their help we shall be stronger still” She replied.
“We also have confirmed reports of other forces joining the cause, a faction that calls themselves the 'Paradox' have also arrived and have taken one of the mining cities for themselves, we have troop envoys speaking to them currently” The admiral said happily.
“So more allies. Excellent, combined the forces of this galaxy will unite against the fools who have allied themselves with the Union and the light... The light is fading from this galaxy, soon it will be snuffed out. While the various factions play petty politics and fret about meager issues we will rise” Inara sneered.
“And what of the IE?” The Admiral asked.
“We shall ignore them for now, however make sure we have that foothold secure in Varandal, I dont care what troops you throw at it keep it open” The Admiral bowed.
“Yes mam”
He exited the room quickly and Inara stood once again observing the stars, it was empty save for the giant form of the new Capitol super dreadnought undergoing its trials.
“The time of light is soon coming to an end”
Empty Space, North East of the Ostech Combine
The convoy made good speed, it had been a pretty impressive run all in all and supplies gained had been exceptional. The trading in the east with the IRS and the Spartans had gone extremely well with such a good haul that the convoy captain knew he would have extra to spend these few months on upgrading his ships. He knew pirate attacks had increased, and he was sure that there were far more pirate factions and groups than only a few months ago. Still he thought, his convoy was capable he had upgraded it best as he could and his flagship was a heavy cruiser strapped together with multiple technologies brought from different empires. He had some good deals going with the Coalition and Triarch Industries which had allowed him to increase his hauling ships. Overall the convoy was around 40 ships, 12 warships of mainly light cruiser and escorts and the rest being haulers. His new route would take him from the IRS past the Ostech Combine to the newly settled NUSSR which he hoped to also get a good haul from.
Thankfully his small convoy was rather fast and the captain watched as the various men and women as well as others went about their business on the bridge, he relaxed and closed his eyes imagining his family he would soon be coming back to. That was when it happened.
Warning sirens blared and just as he opened his eyes he saw a hauler in front of his ship ripped open by purple energy beams. He stood up.
“Give me a situation update! Turn to face our aggressors and open fire!” he shouted as the crew replied terrified.
“SIR! THERE IS NO ENEMY!” the sensor operator replied. The captain looked confused.
“There has to be!” another ship exploded out of the view port and he turned to see what seemed to be a... pixelated cloud destroyed one of his escorts with more beams of purple light, they seemed to dissect the ship as the beams merely bypassed the armour of the vessel, the next moment the thing was gone.
“By the gods...” He muttered, he looked down at the sensor screen to watch his fleet disappear slowly, all around the view port explosions flashed in and out of existence as his small convoy fleet tried to engage whatever it was attacking. However they never saw their attackers as the purple beams tore the ships apart.
He merely stood their as the crew started to panic and get to the escape pods. However there was not enough time, and as the convoy was destroyed he merely stood there thinking about his family, guess he never did get the chance to get those upgrades for his fleet in the end.
Moments later the convoy ended in fire.
