Fiction:Enceri Civil War: Part 3

Extrasolar Station F5

 * It is a giant station, dwarfing a small planet. It has the most powerful non-prototype weapon aboard- The Tygerent, a huge laser capable of destroying stars. Whoever gets control of this station will have a war-winning advantage.

Forces

 * Several thousand ships are on each side, and each side is capable of getting many more. The Portal ships opened portals and ships have been streaming nonstop to reinforce both sides.

The Greatest Battle Ever

 * The Equalizers quickly went on the offense. Thousands of ships plunged towards the enemy forces. They destroyed acouple hundred ships, but were vaporized after traveling for under 30 seconds. Both fleets plunged into battle, and lasers crisscrossed the space between the ships as they neared eachother.
 * But the greatest battle was inside the station. Hundreds of kill teams flooded into the station from the dropships. One kill squad though, refused to die.

Killsquad Alpha-Gamma

 * The squad rushed into the narrow docking tube, weapons raised. They emerged into the corridor, weapons covering all angles of attack. They ran to the front lines of the conflict, where the Equalizers were fighting a losing battle.
 * Hundreds of troops fought in the huge corridor. Between the two forces was the prize; the door to firing control. Lasers, bombs, and flames flew all over.Their Mission: Get to the fire control room.

A Plan

 * Their only hope of completing their mission was to use a service corridor to avoid the fighting. They unscrewed the panel and crawled in. They quietly closed it behind them.
 * They had been crawling through the corridor for 20 minutes when they got to the control room. It had several technicians warming it up. There was also a Protector officer commanding the techs around.
 * They dispatched him and closed the doors. They started to aim the laser.

The Space Combat

 * The Encerian Protectors were winning. They were getting huge amounts of reinforcements, allowing them to overwhelm the Equalizers. The cannon was their last hope.
 * The cannon fired. It flew through the Protectors's rift. This caused it to split into many lasers. Each portal connected to the rift was filled with the laser. It shot out of all of the portals, and since most ships were flying away from the planet they were on, the laser hit all the shipbuilding planets, destroying them instantly. The Protectors got no more reinforcements and were defeated.

The Deal

 * Light Enceri and Dark Enceri made a deal. They would switch the throne every million years. This ended the Enceri Civil War.

Costs of the war

 * Trillions of Enceri died, sextillions of dollars were spent, and hundreds of thousands of planets lay destroyed, in ruins, or inhospitable.
