Solaris - In the vast space between Saturn and Uranus

 

With a flash it comes to an almost halt. Obviously damaged, traces of weaponry foreign to man, as foreign as itself. Theoretically it would have gone unnoticed for quite a while... if not for itself calling out. Loud, into the whole system, a message, mostly a plead, on a wide set of frequencies of normal radio communication. A message spoken in Atlantean, with a rough, bear-like snarl to it.

 

"Hail to the Terraskolarians of this system. This is the Red'Garkan of the Redon Imperium. We plead for assistance. Our ship has sustained severe damage by enemy assault. Engines have failed. Communication systems reduced to local system broadcast. Require repairs and evacuation of civilians."

 

The message is being sent continously, before singled down to a single radio channel, where it continues to repeat every ten minutes. Telescopes and radar devices would easily locate the vessel, looming in the vast emptiness between the two planetary orbits, small lights visible through the windows of it's hull. Obviously immobilized and severely damaged.

QUICK SPACE POST

 

The British were quick to act.

 

Ships from the main British fleet are dispatched from Europa to quickly respond, their quantum radio picking up the Redon signal. Notably, their cloaking devices are also activated in hopes of the Redons being unable to detect them.

 

The Terraskolarians are contacted and implored to handle the situation before another human nation accidentally uncovers the ship, or worse, makes contact with the Redons. In the meanwhile, the British ships will prepare to assist, but only if the Redon ship appears to be in the utmost distress.

Another Quick Space Post

 

American Empire BATS are immediately dispatched after a weak signal is picked up by the Redon ship. Soaring majestically through space, they caught the strong solar wind. They were able to move faster and for much longer then other nations. Kinetic shields on, when they get to their location and merely hover. Studying the ship, testing it with sensors, and general scientific study would begin. They would try to paint a picture of the ship, and find out about it.

 

They were immobilized and damaged, and the American Empire would be the first there. Carrying small complements of cargo, it was given over to humans. The message was relayed through the Empire's space station. They sent a engineer, scientist, farmer, diplomat, and solider with the BATS. They would come in close, hopefully having previously found a way to enter the alien ship. 

 

Never one to speak over a system, the party went for a face to face meeting. The party will boldly try to enter the Alien ship, and say one sentence in English.

 

"And what do we have here?"

[AndrewTech 3333]

QUICK SPACE POST

 

As the American ships approach the grid, the clocked British cruiser HMS Trafalgar frantically attempts to stop the ship by hailing it, pleading for the Americans to stand down.

 

For they had been guarding it far before the American ship began to drift into range as they had both powerful fusion engines that allowed them to travel further and faster than the Americans and, in any case, had been dispatched from Jupiter rather than Mars (MUCH, MUCH closer to the alien ship).

 

The British Commodore would explain that this situation is a very delicate matter.

 

Sufficive to say, if the Americans attempt to contact or reveal their presence to the Redon ship, they are told that may risk an interstellar war with a species far more powerful and far more numberous than their own. One with tens of thousands of ships at their disposal that could overpower all of Earth's forces within hours of their entering the Sol System.

Currently, they did not know about humanity's existence. And that was all that was stopping the Redons from conquering Sol and enslaving the human race.

 

Of course, the Americans are told all of this out of good faith, as they're one of Britannia's strongest allies. However, the British warn them to stay away; they state that they know quite a bit more about the imperialist Redons than the Americans did, and that they had contacted an interstellar ally in hopes of resolving the situation without unveiling humanity's existence and threatening their lives. On top of this, the British had cloaking devices that protected them from detection, whereas the Americans lacked such a device.

 

Furthermore, the Americans are warned not to intervene, or risk terrifying repercussions for Humanity that would make Hera look like a fire cracker. All this, of course, would be sent over a secure channel that the Redons couldn't tap into.

Hera

 

 

((All German actions approved by Conor))

 

As swiftly as Hera had taken the south of France, she was halted by orbital bombardment. Her forces hunker down, and turn back into the newly created wasteland, as Europe breaths a collective sigh of relief. The Germans, however, believing it to be only a temporary reprieve, pull back, and begin to fortify a line running along the Seine from the Atlantic to Switzerland. In this power vacuum, the FLA seizes control of everything south of the river, and begins to raise an army out of refugees and frightened Frenchmen. Arming themselves from the many armories left behind by the Germans, they move to defend the still populated areas, and soon prepare the most concentrated defense that the region has ever seen.
 
A valiant effort, but one that was doomed to failure. For the Germans had been right: France was experiencing only a brief respite, and when Hera returned, she was as strong as ever. After a month of silence, the attack begins, thousands of aircraft filling the air as positions across the edge of human civilization report themselves under attack. The Battle of Lyon proves entirely one-sided: the city is garrisoned by as many as three men for every one of Hera's units, but she responds by simply leveling the entire city with an amount of artillery that could be considered overkill, if it were not so effective. In the chaos, her soldiers swoop in, leaving almost no survivors. From there, it becomes clear that France is lost. Fleeing defenders are quickly overtaken and wiped out, and once more panic sets in across the nation, although this time the Germans refuse to let refugees across their lines. At Nantes, the last shreds of resistance are surrounded and manage to hold the city surprisingly long, before the appearance of several of Hera's airships puts the FLA to a final end.
 
By the next day the advance reaches German lines, where hordes of French refugees are now camped along the river, with nowhere else to go. As machines appear in the distance, many try to swim across, only to be shot by the defenders on the other side. The machines, however, stand stock still, in perfect formation, their lines stretching across the horizon. They stand like this for several minutes, a sight never before seen, and the humans begin to wonder what their plan is...
 
Then, from between their ranks, comes something not seen in the world for several years...terror drones.

 

 
They come in a great swarm, thousands strong, their blades sharp and their pace swift. They tear apart everything before them, and climb or leap over all obstacles. As they grow closer, more and more of the French take their chances with German guns, and the Germans can hardly blame them once they make contact. On the north side of the river, onlookers turn away as the haunting screams of millions of disemboweled, burned and shot French fill the air. Then there is only silence as the terror drones finish off the last of them and scuttle back to the distant ranks of Hera's legions, who continue to stand silent and unmoving, the AI having made her point.
 
Four hours later, the news arrives: the Kaiser has surrendered, and the defensive line opens to the army of machines. But they do not slaughter the humans once past. Instead, they simply march north, past the sullen survivors of their attack, past the soldiers who had never thought to see such drones up close without having to fight for their lives, through the ancient city of Paris and into true Northern Europe. It is the first time that defeated humans have gained a glimpse of the threat that they now face, and newsreels worldwide show columns of these drones marching through streets as they move through Northern France.
 
It also provides an opportunity for the people of Earth to get a real idea of what they face on the battlefield. The most common unit is simply a modified version of the old Greek HDU, and stands at six feet tall:

 

Slightly less common are a more well armored class standing at just over two meters tall, the extra size evidently being to carry the laser mounted into their left arm, which has on many occasions made scrap metal out of armored divisions and heavily armored infantry. They are, as one would expect, slower than their lighter brethren.
 

 

Interspersed among all of these are 30 foot tall tripods, heavily armored particularly in front, and outfitted with missiles, machine guns, lasers and any other kind of useful weaponry imaginable. They function as heavy armor, although Hera in most cases has relied more on infantry than on her heavier ground forces. When they are deployed, however, they prove extremely tough, as their armor builds off the advanced armor used in the Greek AGM-1 tank, which to this day has yet to be outclassed.
 

 

Of course, it stands to reason that there are other designs out there, but they have yet to be seen in the field...
 

-------

 

Meanwhile, a very different sort of war is beginning in the south as all of Africa mobilizes and marches north. A massive army, 14 million strong, approaches Hera's territory, but it will not reach that land so easily. In anticipation of the attack, the human divisions present in Syria cross into Caliphate land, and begin to brutally "clear" every town and village they take. The process does not take place nearly as efficiently as in France, but Hera's reputation has spread, and a few slaughtered villages is more than enough to send a flood of refugees south.
 
As the Africans continue to advance, they fall under the watch of Herodatus station, which opens fire the moment they begin to cross the Sahara. From the clear blue sky come lasers which pick off veteran field commanders and their entire units. Rockets rain down, some exploding on impact, others in the air to cause widespread and horrific death by shrapnel. Supply lines are fried as they attempt to bring food and fuel to the colossal army, and every day becomes a nightmare under a nonstop bombardment from a source that these men are not equipped to combat.
 
Should the Caliphate not resist the army's passage through its territory, they eventually meet the Greeks, but they are far changed from the last time they marched on the Middle East.  It seems that Hera has been installing cybernetic implants among her human divisions, to efficiently transmit orders, improve aim and discipline, and to ensure obedience. As more and more of the Greek population is put into service, they allow soldiers to perform professionally on far less training, and so the army swells.
 
When the Africans near Syria, they begin to find a wasteland, rife with empty towns and burned crops. The 3 million Greeks do not occupy these settlements. Instead, they destroy them and move on, much like Hera's drones in France. Here, the resistance increases tenfold. From behind Hera's lines come her own variations of Janaaza missiles, more destructive and hitting a wider area than the original. There would be no easy victory here.

--------------------

The Caliphate fears that it cannot fight a war against both the advancing Greeks, and the coming wave of Order of St. George's men. Instead, they release a statement to the world. The Caliphate would commit all of their armed forces to the effort against Hera and cede the Holy land to the Order of St. George upon the defeat of the Greek War Machine, but not before. 

The Africans are allowed passage through, Caliphate forces pushing relentlessly back against the Greeks. The Siege of Aleppo begins, millions of Caliphate forces beginning to converge on the Greek soldiers moving through their northern territories.

The Kingdom of Jerusalem and Palestine

 

 

A posse of priests that had recently come out of hiding ,with the free palestinian state, sang a low choir has soldiers guarded a hastily placed red carpet to the now restored Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjmuMpla07A

 

Jean de Saint-Joseph-de-Loire, the grandmaster-prince, now soon to be king walked to the sepulchre, bowing his full body, has he recited an oath.

 

“I, Jean de Saint-Joseph-de-Loire do utterly testify, in presence of this holy assembly, and the assembly of saints, cherubs, angels, archangels and the holy trinity, that I shall protect with my life if needs be the most holy and sacred tomb of our lord, his holy virgin mother and any other saintly or beatified being’s remains that are buried here, in this most holy land. I utterly testify to preserve the holiness of this world, by sword or cross, on this I kiss the holy sepulchre.”

 

Jean kneeled, kissing the stone where Jesus had laid.

 

He sat on his throne in the church has the priest anointed his head, placing a simple golden circlet on his head.

 

“Rex Ioannem primum. Salve Rex!”

 

Jean rose now crowned and anointed Ioannem I.

 

“Today I was crowned King of this blessed land. But the crusade is not over yet, Hera has blasphemed! The foul machine believes itself to be God! With this, has I have sworn to remove wickedness from this world, I shall lead my host of 500.000 men alongside all the other nations, to Syria!”

 

Outside the church panels fill the walls, with translation down below, in arabic hebrew and english.

 

All of the closest families (up until third cousins) of the veterans of the order are offered real state in the holy land. A few million are expected to arrive. Houses are cleared and made suitable for living and a few are claimed for the state. Neighbourhoods in jerusalem and other important cities are prepared. As well as unused terrain for the building of new apartments.

 

A new Patriarch is elected among the few clergy. a catholic priest is elected. He styles himself as “Pious I”. The doctrine is a mixture of catholic and orthodox, although the mass and official language of the Jerusalemite church is Latin, although Church Slavonic and Greek is permitted.

 

The biggest corporations in Porto are granted free land, as long as they pledge their allegiance to the king.

 

The old city of Porto is handed out to the british.

 

The order’s army of about 567.000 men are deployed in syria alongside african and any other forces combating Hera. The MARTYR satellite system now aims itself at Hera, discharging at major power plants trying to make Hera starve herself. The Martyr are also now manually commanded via radio, so Hera may not hack so easily into it.

United American Empire

 

-One year ago-

 

The American Emperor was isolated in his palace, safe. He had ordered his guards out of his chambers, to keep the quiet. Opening the blast shutter to his safe room, the Emperor strides in. A completely defended square box, it was the safest place in the Empire. Shut off completely to the world, no one could enter here without the Emperor. Except for one, the most powerful being in the system. Getting onto his knees, the Emperor stares at a large computer. Giving off a grainy hologram of static, the Emperor prays to his christian god for the last time. Shuddering, he clasp his hands together under his robes. Near sobbing with joy, he whispers one word. One word so faint even he almost didn't hear it. So quiet, as if he was scared to say a simple word. But what did he say? What caused an Emperor of the strongest empire in the world to tremble?

 

"Hera?"

 

-Present Day-

 

"My people!" The emperor roars to his audience. Millions cheer, almost the entire Empire was watching his latest speech on Hera. 

 

"Hera has shown her true genius, Europe is at it's knees! We did what we could, but our lot is the losing side. It is too strong, it's armies legion. Hera has for some reason spared our men, they are sitting on their thumbs safe. Not for long though! For I have made a choice for our entire people. One that will see us to the highest pedestal of glory. Our United American Empire will truly unite all of America, as we have planned from the start. With Imperial Hall dissolved, and the army in my hand, the choice is mine. And what is that choice? WAR!" 

 

The crowd is immensely confused, but they still cheer out of devotion.

 

The American Freedom Fighter army in Europe however was not confused about their orders. The time to strike is now. The order is passed down from the Emperor, one so horrible some army units downright refused. Enough listened however, enough to see the downfall of Europe. In England, demo teams sent to destroy the euro tunnel didn't even bother. Instead they kill the British engineers with them, and hole up on both sides. They open the way for Hera's forces. The rest of the American troops in Britain had been spread into every key country and city garrison. Marching from their garrisons to slaughter and cause confusion, they would be a thorn in the Britts collective sides.

 

In Spain, the Emperor had cleverly moved all loyal Iberian troops out to reinforce Britain. All that was left were militias and small army units. Certainly no match for half a million American forces, they engage in vicious battles to take the cities. Mainly staged in Toledo, the army spreads out like a cancer. The two hundred and fifty thousand troops in the Pyrenees open the way for Hera's forces through the mountains.

 

In Canada, the order to advance is given. Two million men spearhead north, in a hope to snap Canada in two. The million men in the north west isles land on Canadian shores. Hit from two sides, the war was bound to be brutal and quick. The American navy in Canada heads to besiege the Falkland isles.

 

In the Mediterranean the massive American navy picks up its half a million men. Scattering into different groups, they set off to take all the Mediterranean isles.

 

In South America, the one million men in Columbia smash into Ecuador. The Australians wouldn't expect their ally to attack, and had no defenses in the north. Tali fighters would ensure air supremacy as the army set forward. In Brazil Four million troops hit the South American Federations borders, in an attempt to snap their border troops and steam in before they can fully react. The American Empire announces common cause with the West Andean Confederation.

 

The sixty thousand troops in Austria all dedicate themselves to attack on the German defenses guarding the mountain passes.

[Angel~ 34]

South american federation

 

The Federation was very surprised but also very prepared for any attack, they had come up with every battle plan possible whether it be from the sea or from neighboring countries, and so when the American troops attempt to simply steam roll their whole nation they would be met with bitter fire power, the entire reserve of the federation as well trained as the troops sent out put on the already strengthened defenses. The the past the federation had entrenched every possible position. The American's would be met with bombardment from artillery and fusion cannon fire, AA guns are set online and quickly start to fire at oncoming planes while Martial law is declared but not so seriously enforced as recruitment's are attempted with the populace saying how the North Americans have betrayed the entire human race. More and more troops are set up in defensive positions and the entire nation of the South American Federation is put into practically lock down, warnings being shot out to all other nations in every safe way possible informing them of the American's treachery.

 

In space, all space ships belonging to the federation are gathered over Earth, New and Old ones, and begin their attacks on all things belonging to the American Empire, Supplied with the British Weaponry and Federation's top crew members they quickly start to shoot down any satellites before the massive fleet with its Capital ship, flag ship and many smaller ships converge on the American space station and open fire causing utter chaos. If the attack goes as planned the Federation fleet would move onwards towards Mars to the American Colony and once there would commence Orbital bombarments on everything military.

 

Meanwhile back on earth, plans are set into motion, plans that the government never wished to make but had to. The plan was to gather all the smart and genius's of the federation and their family and transport them up to the massive space station's safety, They also gather some of the bigger industries workers-everyone that proved themselves to be loyal utmost to the federation would be asked to come aboard vessels in the dark of night and be transported to the space station.

(Queen and her counsel are brought aboard as first priority)

Navy wise, the Federation moves half of the ships to defend the coast line, equipped with Fusion cannons while the other half move to defend the closest island which would be the falklands.

 

 

Mod requests:

- Civilian recruitment to defend the homeland (How well?)

- Gathering all loyal people, genius and hard workers are gathered (How well)

- Defenses all along the border taking on American forces in very entrenched positions (How well)

- Federation space fleet attempts on destroying all things american in Orbit around earth, space station then mars colony.

War Post

 

In South America, the American armies halted when they met the stern resistance. They could not easily break the border defenses as planned. Not to be deterred, their strategy changes quickly. Tali fighters with kinetic shielding dodge through the AA, delivering their payloads. Other fighters and bombers though shielded are not so lucky, and take losses. American artillery is massed in a few points along the line, and defended by kinetic shields that could be activated. Dueling with the Federation artillery stretched across the whole border, they would hopefully make progress. They would begin to soften these points, weakening the line. Tali's equipped with napalm burn the forest down in front of the American's lines. This would clear the fields, allowing the special Mobile Infantry to work well. The fires would spread, hopefully into the Federation's lines. Taking precautions, lumber is cleared around the Americans. American troops being to creep forward all across the line, skirmishing. Keeping the Federations heads down, troop build up begins safely behind the lines. Rail-gun tanks and their regular cousins roam the line, sniping at any fortified positions they could reach. 

 

Dominion drop ships come screaming down into Federation lines being weakened by artillery. With kinetic shielding, heavy armor, and surprise, they could hopefully get most of the men through. Any that got through would peel open, and Dominion Death Korpsmen would pour out. With handheld rail-guns, cybernetic weapon and limb implants, and brain chips, they were formidable special forces. Interspersed with them were American Mobile Infantry, blazing away with their rail-guns and needle rifles. 

 

Assuming all ran well, the American army made the first opening move of the real battle. After being ravaged by artillery and special forces, American mobile infantry would rush across the plains. Having previously prepared and built up, they would rush across the space. Hoping to reach the weak points in the lines before the Federation could reinforce them, the Mobile Infantry would lead the way. Behind them came waves of regular troops, Dominion forces, and state militia. Amongst this one million man assault, came the Dominion's treasure trove of tech. Terminators cleared swathes of troops before being shot to bits. Rail-gun tanks dueled Federation tanks, or massacred troops. REX's and EMU's focused on defensive positions, cracking open bunkers. Mobile Infantry with jetpacks or active cloaking snuck through the chaos, appearing out of nowhere and killing Federation troops. Argentinean light assault vehicles went with the Mobile Infantry, providing extra fire power. Healing nanites flowed through the battle, saving soldiers lives. Brightsword combat drones protected officers, or were in the thick of the fight.

 

The American space fleet avoids conflict with the Argentineans. They flee farther out of the system. The American space station is sabotaged on purpose. Hoping to crash it into one of the Mars colonies, any would work.

 

Most of the troops in Britain and Germany disobey the Emperor's orders. They instead offer their hand to the respective nations.

[AndrewTech 3333]

THE IMPERIUM BRITANNIA

 

 

America had become a dictatorship, and one of the last of the true democratic nations in the world, Britannia, was under siege.

 

As the United American Empire makes its most treacherous moves, the near 6 million men rallied in the British Isles flock to the southern border, prepared to defend Britain at all costs should what was about to happen next fail.

 

And what happened next was a desperate move by the British to destroy the Eurotunnel and save Britain.

 

 

"This is the HMS Empress Laura. We are in position."

"Fire, Laura, and godspeed."

 

The HMS Empress Laura, Never Setting Sun, and Fortitude, a task force of three British submarines that had been stationed near Scotland to assist in the British blockade of the country, had been dispatched to destroy the eurotunnel before Hera managed to cross through it.

 

As there were few American ships in British waters, if any at all, the submarines would most likely have no problems in firing their payload of torpedoes at the tunnel in order to collapse it.

 

 

If they were successful in doing this, the forces at the southern border would relax slightly, and return to their defensive positions along the coasts of Britain. If they failed in doing such...

 

...then the elite SAS would be dispatched to kill the American engineers from both the British and French sides of the tunnel, set the charges, and blow them before Hera managed to cross it.

 

And if that failed, Victoria Station II and the British Battlecruisers near Earth orbit around would attempt to bombard the tunnel from space in order to destroy it.

 

Britannia would not lay down and die so easily.

 

----------------------------------------

 

Scotland at long last, under the threat of invasion by Hera, gives up it's rebellion and rejoins the United Kingdom.

 

The Scottish Home Guard and other Scottish Purity Party assets move to assist the British forces in their defense of the Island of Britain, in exchange for full amnesty from the government of the United Kingdom and reunification with the rest of the Imperium.

 

The Kingdom was United, and United they would stand in the face of annihilation.

 

 

--------------------------------------

 

Empress Laura Windsor was now very old, roughly in her 80s. She was highly praised across the Empire by all of her peoples, and was to go down in history as the most successful British monarch, surpassing even the glory of Queen Victoria.

 

But she was nearing her final years, no closer to achieving Arnold Schartzneggar's immortality than she had been 20 years previous.

 

Nevertheless, she was still sound in mind, and possessed quite a bit of experience in the field of war. Ever since she had assumed the throne after the death of Emperor William the Wise, Laura had been fighting wars against Britannia's enemies. From the Islamic Caliphate to the Russian Remnants, she protected the Third British Empire from it's enemies abroad.

 

And now she was faced with her biggest challenge yet: ensuring the survival of the Anglo-Saxon race.

 

Laura therefore began to address the British people via television, radio, internet broadcast, and anything that still might work.

 

"Citizens of Britannia...

 

Once again, we face one of our darkest hours in our history. My ancestor, King George the VI, had to give a similar speech at the outbreak of the Second World War, barely managing to make it with his stuttering problem. But now, we are not threatened by oppression under the Nazi regime.

 

We are threatened by extinction.

 

The future of the Anglo-Saxon race and of all the Human races of God's green Earth are in the hands of the brave Australians, Canadians, South Africans, and Britons of the Commonwealth of Nations, as well as the Ethiopians of Africa, the Reclaimers above, the Orion Company, and all of their domains. Should we fail, all that shall be left will be our extraterrestrial colonies abroad, a small portion of Humanity, mere tens of thousands out of billions...

 

Therefore, we cannot fail. We cannot surrender to Hera. If we lose this battle... The sun shall set on the world.

 

Forever."

The Empress hangs her head.

 

"We cannot allow that to happen.

 

I will not desert my peoples in Iberia, Normandy, or in the United Kingdom. Nor will I abandon the nations of Australia or Canada, of which I am constitutional monarch. Indeed, I will not abandon any of the free nations of this Earth. We're all part of God's great Human family, and together we must stand against Hera and the traitors.

 

As Winston Churchill once said, 

 

'We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,

we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas ("And the great void of space,"), armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth ("out of the darkness unto which it has fallen," she inserts,) to the rescue and the liberation of the old.'

 

But surrender, WE SHALL NOT! I will die with the sword in my hand before succumbing to Hera's inhumanity, and I urge all of you to do the same! BECAUSE THE SUN NEVER SETS!"

 

The crowd repeats the iconic phrase, obviously energized by their monarch's speech. They are ecstatic, and many attempt to join the Home Guard and take up military stockpiles to help bolster the huge forces already rallied.

 

-----------------------------------

 

As the American units in Britannia had decided to defect, their service in defending the British Isles is gladly accepted.

 

However, they are told that they will likely be serving near or on the front lines. Their loyalties are still in question, and the British generals would hate to have their armed forces sandwiched between two hostile groups. At least that way if the turncoat Americans turned again, they could be easily mowed down by the British before they did any real harm.

 

As for Iberia, the Americans had removed the Iberian Royal Army and Home Guard. This had presented a challenge to Commonwealth High Command, but luckily, they still had troops to spare in another part of the Empire...

 

 

Gibraltar and Morocco still had a number of British troops deployed within their borders, roughly 150,000 that had remained to secure the borders of these provinces.

 

However, the battle would be hopeless. Although 50,000 valiantly fight to defend the Iberians from harm and hold the Americans off, the rest decide that it's best to defend the cities of Gibraltar and Tangiers, and hold back to fortify some of the most strategically fortified and defended positions in the world.

 

Jewish Cyprus is abandoned to it's fate as 10,000 more marines and it's defensive fleet withdraw to assist the defensive forces in Iberia, as well as to protect the Suez Canal in Caliphate Egypt.

 

In Canada, veteran Imperial Newfoundland Regiment army officers secretly attempt to advise and assist the Canadians in defending against the massive army approaching their borders. Of course, the Canadians had been much, much better prepared for the attack than they had been the first time, and there was at least sure to be a fight.

 

The 50,000 Newfoundland soldiers and assets prepare to assist the Canadians if the fight gets desperate enough. However, for now, they simply dig in and prepare for the worst as they fortify the island.

 

British ships had been freed up from Scotland's reunification. Therefore, a small British fleet prepares to join the Argentines and sizable Falklands Defense Forces in defending the Falklands from invasion as they set sail from the United Kingdom.

 

Another small fleet attempts to cause trouble for the Americans as their small task forces move across the mediterranean. Notably, any reinforcements that hadn't entered the Mediterranean Sea before betraying Britannia would be attacked with Surface-to-Sea Missiles and LIONs at Gibraltar and Suez if they dared to attempt to enter Mediterranean waters. 

 

However, the majority of their naval forces retreat (or stay in) the United Kingdom, escorting convoys from Africa, Sweden, and Australia, and preparing for their defense of the British Isles once the American and Greek navies turn their attention to doing such.

 

Naval and military assistance is pleaded from anyone who would lease such to Britannia.

 

Meanwhile, in the Indian Ocean Territory, British troops fight American troops as they struggle over the petty islands in the area. Forces from Hong Kong prepare to assist if need be.

 

------------------------

 

Countless British and Iberian citizens begin to flee to the extraterrestrial colonies in panic.

 

Quantum warp drive has been researched and achieved, and Britannia begins to outfit it's extraterrestrial fleet with these new devices. ((Mod Please))

 

Finally, Project Lazarus, which had been secretly started a year before, continues, and the BSF prepares to embark from Europa and attack American possessions as soon as the battle has been won.

 

Also, at Mars, British fighters, LIONs, and missile launchers attempt to knock the American space station out of their trajectory should it seem that the station is heading towards Utopia Planeta or the allied Orion Mars Colony, in hopes of preventing the destruction of very valuable space possessions.

 

A nuclear ICBM is also prepared to strike at Hera, which had been kept off of the grid along with the rest of the British nuclear arsenal. The British are ready to fire this powerful weapon at a moment's notice.

 

((Anything I forgot I'll try to have an ally post about. I'm currently preoccupied heavily this week and my wifi is terrible, so I'll be unable to post except at very rare intervals. Therefore I'll probably be unable to make a post like this for quite a few days. I'd appreciate it if you showed understanding and patience, those that Britannia is currently in conflict with.

 

Anything I forgot in this post will be edited in in the morning.

 

Thank you in advance.))

Solaris - Redon vessel

 

The Redon vessel hails the approached American and British ships, who appear not to reply. Depictions and drawing of the vessel are being made accordingly, they seem not to be able to move anywhere at that time. Though boarding the ship is not possible. As the Americans send the transport vessel carrying the "boarding" crew closer to the ship, visibly shields are being raised around the Redon vessel, a warning shot from a laser turret just passing by it. A message follows: "Terraskolarians, I dare you not to board our ship without further explanation. Give us an answer, before we will use our means to defend ourselves."

 

In the meantime, as soon as the vessel was discovered, the British contacted the Terraskolarian Central Command with aid of the Quantum Radio device they have received with a stealth probe some time ago. Eight hours until an adequate vessel of the Terraskolarians would be in reach. Needless to say though, it would not be needed as a contingent of eight unknown vessels rapidly approached, coming out of a high level warp speed, halting in front of the Redon vessel. What then seemed to be a brief amount of communication turned into a massacre. The other ships, obviously designed for warfare, open fire from their primary weapons, obliterating the Redon vessel within seconds.

 

As the debris of the destroyed Redon ship drifts about, a communication call is being made to the Americans and British ships nearby. The voice is cool, almost cold, and professional. "This is none of your business, Humans."

 

((Direct communication can be attempted, as the ships are still there. Notify me if you wish.))

Peace Keepers

Things including the Imperium are with the permission of themselves!

 

After spending some days with the Empress and Prime minister of the Imperium, the black suited 'stranger' would exit the residence, returning to his guards to whom would now be armed with M16 rifles holstered against their shoulder, followed shortly by a crowd of 'reporters' 

 

''Marcus! What where you doing in the residence?!'' 

Ushered in by a response 

''The Imperium has agreed to offer the peacekeepers a base upon Imperium soil, with this allowing us to recruit British Civilians for our cause, advertising upon all mediums, a new law has been passed to allow for us to carry weapons upon UK soil, alongside an agreement to fund and supply us.''

 

the following days the news dominates the television, asking the question ''Who are the peacekeepers and what is their goal?''

 

The hype of the media is followed by a several advertisements upon TV

 

a rugged looking soldier with his weapon firing at a cooalition of Aliens, insurgence and soldiers wearing undistinguishable uniform, looks towards the camara and yells above the gunshots ''Join the Peacekeepers today! and together we will defeat the enemies of humanity!''  the statement is followed by a Dalton Gunship entering the scene to fire upon the attacking forces, completely eliminating them, the Soldier further saluting the battlefield coarsely.

 

The hype of the situation and the lax entering terms for the peacekeepers work wonders for their new base, 

 

To the east of the United Kingdom a large airfield is quickly made, with several hangers and a large building beside it, aside a naval base which is under construction is cordoned off. the airfield quickly filled with Boing cargoships, and Dalton gunships. The building almost always surrounded by a crowd of black uniformed men, beside the gates of the new Peacekeeper base holds two watchtowers either-side surrounded with 50.cal mounted LMG's. and armed men now holding MP5's and M16's, the gates opening every day to a minimum of three bus-loads of new recruits who are promptly taken into training..

 

With the Koreans allowing movement [ Took to long to reply. ] the soldiers stranded in Korea are moved to the imperium, as well as the welsh base has now been abandoned on the same goal.

 

Numbers:

 

Recruits have been flooding in from many different countries especially within the United Kingdom, their numbers have grown to some few thousand within a weeks. These will not see combat just quite yet, Yet as they are recruited to uphold their end of the bargain their names are placed upon a record and sent to the Imperium Britannia's MoD.

 

Trained Personel:

300, trained in specialist combat.

140 trained as paratroopers, 

all of 300 have been trained to use a parachute yet only 140 of them are trained to act behind enemy lines.

 

Sixteen Dalten gunships,

Thirteen boing airships.

 

 

 

Operation Human Intelligence

 

With their forces still weak, yet with hera's advancements into Germany it is deemed a necessity to strike Hera as soon as possible. Markus once more enters the Residence of the Empress, entering now with the MoD who both now enter the same Limo that would move towards the Base entitled ''CIP Base 1.''  the MoD would further inspect the base, before returning to his own cabinate. 

 

Within few days the Imperium are mobalising 1000 trained men and women, several airports are taken for military use as there is no records of this on file just as yet, nothing has been placed upon the computers and nothing has been spoken about past face to face orders.

 

Several meetings are held between the MoD, squad leaders, and generals, all of them including Imperium and peacekeeper men. 

 

Within days the skies  of eastern Britain thunder with the mobalisation of the Dalten and Boing airships, loaded with men and EMP's, all Sixteen will leave, filled with soldiers, EMP generators and Crates of weapons.. 

 

The same day:

 

Explosions are seen around Tripoli, the Dalton gunships have arrived, firing at the defensive machines left in place, the TVs of the residence are suddenly taken over by the peacekeepers leaving a message.

 

''In Thirty minutes, the bombings will stop, we are targeting Hera's machines only.. we as men are not able to defeat the Machines without your help.. After the bombings have stopped, please head towards the Tripoli airport as fast as possible, we will be putting down EMP generators throughout the city.. Hera is a threat not only to the world, but to you also.. those who side with Her, will be treated the same as her machines. The peacekeepers will help rebuild your country, Hera will simply exterminate you.''

 

Over the airport the dalton gunships are taking advantage of their position by exterminating the Machines in a two mile radius, Lines of gunshots would fill the floor, the streets of Tripoli are filled with battles as for the moment the surprise attack by the forces which held radio silence would give them air superiority,  

 

Within moments the skies around the airport are drowned out by soldiers jumping from their airplanes, landing in the radius of the cleaned space, all of them taking advantage to 'retreat' to the airport.

 

True to their word the bombings would halt, and Emps would be dropped around the city attempting to disable the machines,  many of which are shot down yet a corridor for civilians to retreat to the airport is made, However the battle at the airport is not nearly as finished.

 

Five minutes after the dropping of the Emps, everything would seem quite, the airport is drowned by civilians attempting to flee from the machines, many of those who can fight are given armaments, which have been dropped from the sky by large packages. Civilians are equipt with rifles and ammunition, sent to the centre of the airport where they are to guard the Civilians alongside squad Echo, and  Delta. 

 

as the civilians would continue to flock to the airport the Machines enter the fray from most sides, firing at both Civilians and soldiers. 

 

 

''Alpha is under fire!,'' ''Squad Charlie is under attack!'' ''Bravo is outnumbered!'' the radio communication is suddenly active with the communications of squads suddenly under fire from the threat! 

 

''We're going do-... Bzzt..'' in an instant an engine of a dalton gunship still within the fray explodes, falling onto the control tower which hosts Squad foxtrot, eliminating the four man team almost instantly.

 

Grenades are thrown, missiles are shot, the area buzzing with gunfire as the battle would turn from their favour, to a critical failure as they are surrounded, and outnumbered.

 

The 130 soldiers there would hold their line, armed civilians moving inwards from their Back-seat positions to secure the lines, 

 

Machines are shot down only to be replaced with two more, swarms of machines enter the fray,

 

Within the airport building civilians are seen praying with soldiers and armed civilians, the echoes of crying women and children fill the building, 

 

 

 

The soldiers would hold their communication, as another squad drops, equip with upgraded armor as they would fall to the ground, their parachutes open, The squads seem convinced to fight, 

 

''Marcus speaking to everybody.. Keep fighting we only need a few more minutes.'' 

 

 

The rallying cry of the new arrivals, The entrance of their leader, a man who is renowned within the peace keepers as a skilled fighter, and a man not to back down, has arrived, 

 

''All units, disengage, create a firing line around the terminal..'' 

 

Men and women are seen Walking backwards as they openly fire upon the mechanized soldiers of Hera, surrounding the terminal with their backs to the walls, the man Troops wearing their upgraded armour and better weaponry are seen aiding civilians wounded or not behind the firing line, The numbers of the troops are -Vastly- Smaller then that of those who arrived 

 

''Resistance is futile, surrender or  you will all die..'' The speakers around the terminal echo as the machines seem to stop moving for a moment. 

 

The civilians would cry, knowing their fate is set, the squads inside the terminal move outside, as marcus retreates into the terminal, breaking into the systems to send a message outwards ''F*ck her, Men of the peacekeepers, Look around you.. you are surrounded by cold.. heartless machines, those who kill without question.. being trampled under their feet are your fallen brethren, those who died so you may continue the fight.. now let their sacrifices not go in vain!'' 

 

Seconds after the squad exit the building their rifles held against their shoulders, open firing upon the horde of machines surrounding the airport 

 

''Your choice has been made.'' hera would speak over the radios of all squads.. who now appear to glare at the machines, Following suit  and unleashing hell upon the Machines. Marcus and his squad move faward as the entire circle that surrounds the terminal follow suit. ''Unleash.. hell!'' marcus speaks, as the machines would be suprised somewhat by the attacks of the mighty lions to which they face, many of their first lines shot down in the process.  

 

as the machines fire back many fall victim to their bullets yet the advance continues. The skies now roar with movement, jets now dropping bombs upon the horde of Machines which encircle the airport, a mighty roar of the remaining peacekeepers follow suit as they would further move to attack the machines, 

 

Imperium soldiers now drop upon the Airport, behind both circles of units, surrounding the now thinning line of machines.

 

 

From almost a failure to a decisive victory. The tripoli airport is seized, as the Combined Dalten Airships of both Imperium and Peace keepers clear the horde of Machines that attack.

 

as the dust settles, it is clear that the peacekeepers have gained victory for what is known as 'The battle of tripoli''.

 

the Imperium soldiers now directly under command of Marcus are better equip then most of the peacekeepers,  as they would further drop down boeing cargoplanes filled with Ammunition and heavy weapons, a perimeter around the airport is made, with 50.cal heavy machine guns, with heated rounds.  civilians are not drafted yet to replemish the numbers of the peacekeepers many volunteers are trained, and a militia is formed. 

 

in the following days the airport is attacked by both machines and 'Cultists' who believe Hera a god. 

 

 

The battle of Tripoli, recorded from the head-gear of all peacekeeper soldiers is pieced together. an hour long film is made in a rushed effort, and placed on most social media sites, from there the world news is abuzz with the efforts of the peacekeepers and imperium, a statement is followed ''We will not simply fade into darkness.. We need your help, to defeat hera. if you can house more people, please visit our website to take in these families.''  1,000 GBP are offered to the families of the effected civilians to feed and cloth them, as people volunteer there house to host these families, orphans, and generally civilians.  

 

 

Tripoli is not fully secured by the Peacekeepers, a two mile radius around the airport is deemed a 'greenzone' with snipers posted upon buildings to defend against future waves of attacks, The area is also secured by squads made up of imperium soldiers, and EMP generators.

 

AA turrets are set up throughout the two mile divide, aswell as upon the airport itself.

 

new recruits travel the world to join the peacekeepers, being trained at the base back in the United Kingdom. 

 

A small corridor where EMPS are not present, allow for movement into the airport and out as Civilians are moved to housing in other countries, the peacekeepers helping them into the country on a temporary basis. 

 

Tripoli Airport numbers:

 

986 Imperium soldiers under Marcus's command.

87 Peacekeepers from the original 200 sent in. 

20 Dalton gunships hover around the city to pick up stranded and surrounded troops

620 Militia men.

 

Recruiting has worked well since the video was released.

the 2000 untrained men have grown into 3635,  with the 100 that stayed behind to train. 

 

As many are put through basic training they are moved to Tripoli, the 3635 now lowered to 3420.

 

peacekeepers at Tripoli airport:

302.

 

A plee for help is sent to all countries,

 

Marcus stays upon the front lines, awaiting the next major assault. 

 

The attacks on germany where a insight to what Heras units are capible off, a insight which the imperium and peacekeepers have fully exploited.

 

 

Areas under control:

Tripoli Airport.

2 mile radius around tripoli airport. 

 

 

Since heras main forces are on the battlegrounds in germany this suprise attack has succeeded, 

 

The victory is the first of its kind, and perhaps that of many more, however the battle is not finished and it is fully expected to rage on more, for now the peacekeepers hope to distract the enemy in their own territory to prevent more attacks on other countries. 

 

The paratrooper squads are sent elsewhere throughout the city, aswell as the countryside around the city to clear Anti-air units.

 

 

an Envoy is sent back to wales however to communicate with the Welsh governing body, aswell as to travel the world seeking countries to join the coalition

 

[ Skype me at benpowell987 for skype RP if you're wishing to join the peace keepers coalition. ]

 

[ Requesting hera wait for atleast one country more to support the peacekeepers actions before they themselves take action.  as a military unit and not a country I can't really get into the 'R&D' Economy and politics side of the game, so I simply fill in the gaps in battle scenes, I dont know how I did, but I hope you enjoy the read! Give a OOC message on the OOC thread and tell me how  I did like! ]

Peacekeeper - Welsh Communications:

 

Wales has presented the peacekeepers with 2500 Heavy cavalry units ( H.O.A.Vs ) with another 7500 regular trained infantry, however they are reluctant to send any Elite I.E.T.s just yet, 

 

it takes several more days to mobilize these troops, even after that it would take another few months to send then -All- entirely ( one page. )

 

adding to the Tripoli numbers for the present:

72 Heavy Cavalry Units.

400 Infantry.

 

With the funding from the British the resources needed to feed and keep them in ammunition are easily obtained, cargo planes are occasionally shot down over Greece however by Heras AA units.

 

event:

as they arrive a small attack is made onto the airport, a cargoplane carrying welsh units is blown up. 

 

Tripoli welsh numbers: 376.

 

The heavy cavalry units are put to use in tackling the larger of heras machines, acting as a 'swarm' of missiles.

 

 

 

 

With the Welsh now in the Cooalition, the Imperium would receive one H.O.A.V, for deconstruction and with this the longer process of obtaining blueprints for a 'star-ship' from the imperium goes underway.

South American Federation

 

The American army thinks that the Federation's defenses would go down so easily, they had made key points of the borders fort like, near impregnable and super defended during a attack, this is where most of the artillery is set into place along side the rail gun tanks who would be evenly spaced out but also greatly reinforced. The American's believed the federations infantry would be so easily steam rolled but they were seriously misinformed, loads of training and knowledge of the land would give the Federation a super-b advantage over the invaders using guerrilla tactics occasionally before planting traps in the ground before quickly retreating from the front lines back to the main defenses in the many hills and jungles. The Napalm would be completely useless against the Federations army, the nanite suits allowing them to be immune to the flames and any sort of skirmishing match would be met with fierce fire power, the suits providing them with a advanced HUD to spot any enemy unit in the fires caused by the Americans. At night when the battles went just a bit slower, stealth units would use the night and the pitch blackness of their suits to hide their presence and slips into enemy lines trying to sabotage anything they could reach but if things got to dangerous would instantly pull back.

Artillery and Rail gun vehicles although seriously out numbered would be given the best defendible positions, they would destroy any and all major pushes from the American along with any vehicles the americans attempted to push forwards before changing positions to a new spot along the front lines on a randomized schedule. Artillery would do the same although they would be really spaced out but would deliver volleys into the enemy lines, specifically on the enemies artillery positions or area's believed to be the enemies forward bases.

 

 

The enemy would have a hard time trying to soften positions on the Federation's line as it would quickly get reinforced, each time they shot artillery to soften the lines, most would peel back away from the lines before quickly running back to defend, high powered fusion rockets would have a new appearance on the battle field. The infantry would use these new weapons to try and take down any attempts at a landing party along side the high powered fusion rifles. Vehicles equipped with fusion machine guns would be dug in only rarely making an appearance which would be whenever the American's attempted to rush the front lines, aside from this the american's would be met with fierce firepower either from artillery or infantry firepower.

 

Space wise, the Argentine space fleet would go back to hovering over Earth, a new presence of a brand new panther, the new flagship being seen alongside the capital ship and soon plans are created. The SAF space station undergoes some changes, the citizens brought up moved into comfortable area's around the station while lots of sustainable food sources are brought up and added on the station, allowing the station to create food on its on soon.

Research stuff/Production stuff:

~ Large Sustainable Colony ship : 3 to go 

~ Better Fusion drives : 2 to go

~ Anti-Gravity Tech : 2 more to go

~ Two Battle Cruisers : 3 to go

 

(Edit : The Federation also pulls back a good portion of the troops sent to assist its allies in Europe, leaving half a million in British hands and 250K in common wealth hands, this is done with utmost secrey and since they shot down most if not all american space stuff orbitting earth they should be able to find them)
