Fiction:Intergalactic War

Introduction
The Cognatus are an incredibly advanced civilisation which wishes to wipe out those who in there view defiled a holy site near the Cyrannus Galaxy. In this war anyone who wishes to be an ally of the CSA/Rambo can join, however the Cognatus do not like alliances, however it can be a three way war later in the fiction. Please contact either me or Dinoman82 if you want to join. The War is a war without super powers like time travel or Galactic wide destruction however their may be exceptions to this. The aim of the Cognatus is Total Destruction and the allies are fighting to stop it. The war will also involve the CSA/Rambo discovering their ancient past at strange and mysterious worlds.

Please do not claim to have trillions of ships in a fleet as it sounds unrealistic

Arrival


As Captain Rambas II of Rambo Nation was flying threw space, he had a conversation with Princess Ramtilsae, whom he had picked up for a State Visit with the CSA. However half way, he got a transmission from the bridge, they had discoverd something and requiered his assistance. He took the Princess with him and looked at the screen. "Current Location" the Captain asked, as he recieved them he noticed it was at the Far Outer borders of the Cyrannus Galaxy, he looked in awe, there was a discovery to do but this was dangerous space. Even as the Second Galactic War had unoffically ended, the Imperials and RSA had withdrawn from Rambo and Allied Space it did not mean the Imperials nor the RSA wanted to be allies. Nor did the Vartekains form that matter.

"Come Captain, let's look what that is, set a course helm" Princess Ramtilsae said, Captain Rambas II looked surprised, and after she nodded he approved.

Upon arriving at the planet he had contacted Captain Rambam, whom was nearby with the USS Luna. Captain Rambam was on his way.

As Rambas and Ramtilsae landed on the planet near the ancient and large structure, they wondered whom it belonged to and what it meaned. However, after walking through the building they arrived at the Central Computer and the Database, but it was an unknown language, none the less Rambas ordered it to be downloaded so it could be studied later on. Only the computer sended on transmission over and over again, something with containing Cognatus

Unknown to Rambas, an Imperial and Allied fleet clashed nearby the planet location and was seen in the distance from the USS Hood.

Shortly later the USS Luna arrived in orbit, and that meant a disturbing turn in events, as another ship arrived, this was unnoticed by the Ramboidae Ships sensors and the ship sended troops down to the surfuce. As Captain Rambam talked with Rambas and Ramtilsae an unknown race attacked the Rambo forces on the structure, claiming them to be heritics. In orbit, the strange purple ship targeted the USS Hood, taken by surprise the USS Hood took heavy damage and engines and shields were failing. As the systems dropped, the enemy ship continued firing and the unfortunate Ramboidae ship was drawn by the magnatic field of the planet and chrashed on the surface.

After Rambas cleared a way through the building he met the person whom led the forces, but defeated him and took a shuttle to the chrash side of the USS Hood. There the USS Luna was waiting and Captain Rambas, in panick he told Rambam that the Princess was captured and the building taken from them.

Rambam looked grim, after a long hunt for the Laberynth, he now had an other dangerous mission to do, but that requiered the aid of his friend Leezard.

Sector Alliance Aid
Sector Alliance troops arrived to aid the Rambo against the unknown hostile. They were amazed at structure of the ruin and its height but also the cunning of the enemy. The CSA managed to buy time for Captain Rambam and Leezard to rescue the princess. However much is still to be learned. Admiral Cretaceous jumped into orbit over the mysterious world with a fleet of three Hunter Class Star Destroyers and was sent a transmission from the enemy which read: '''Your worlds will burn until its surface is but glass! Your destruction is the will of the gods! And we? We are their instrument!''' The Admiral was deeply disturbed by this message and even more so when he discovered that a CSA Diplomat tried to reason with the Cognatus and ended up getting kidnapped. He went down to the ruins and was nearly overwhealmed by the shear numbers of Cognatus on the ground but eventually rescued the diplomat, this also bought time for Rambam.

The Shrine of Selenyia
During the CSA battle and securing the Ancient Structure Captain Rambam, Master Leezard and Rambas II onboard the USS Luna followed the unknown alien Captain to another structure, this seemed like some sort of gate which he entered. Rambam was worried and called in the help of the CSA who managed to send a Delpha Class Troop Transport to the location and together with Leezard and Rambam they entered the structure. Upon entering there way was blocked by the alien race who engaged them. The hallway they were in contained a brige over a lave stream and beyon that there was a chamber with teleporters. The CSA forces managed to secure that location and was happy to find out that the alien captain also used this route and together with Leezard they entered the teleporter.

This brought them to a large underground chamber, containing a massive statue of the Rambo God Selenyia, surprise Rambam looked around but was forced to action as Leezard immediatly attacked the alien race who did not stood a change at all. Using the stairways Rambam arrived at the bottom of the chamber where he and Leezard battled the Alien Captain and defeated him. Ramtilsae was also here and thanked the two for saving her. Rambam and Leezard headed for the top of the statue because some sort of wormhole had openened. Together they brace for another wave of alien attackers, but the one who came out was no one other than the Rambo Founder himself, and he demanded to speak to the current ruler of Rambo Nation.

Week One
Within the first week, many empires came to aid the CSA and the Rambo in case the war broke out, empires such as the CoreFed, House of Krassio and the Sylit Republic will aid the allies in the war agaisnt an enemy they know nothing about. Meanwhile the Cognatus start to prepare for war...

Emergency Meeting
Empress Ramashe was at State Visit at the Core Federation homeworld of Centrus, when words reached her that the USS Hood had crashed and the ancient Shrine of Selenyia was discovered.

Arriving at the Rambo Capitol with maximum Warp she went into conversation with Judge Magister Ramgaarbath and Ramabranth. When she requested Judge Magister Ramrace should also be present, the other two Judgest told her that she was at Luthrinicae, inspecting the security of the Residential Home. After a long discussion, she felt unsure what to do. Recent events with the Fall of the Sylit Republic and the securing of Mirenton meant defences were medium and the Imperials were still present, provoking border conflicts.

None the less, with such a discovery she send Judge Magister Ramabranth with a small Task force to secure the Shrine of Selenyia at all costs, however upon arriving he should contact the CSA for aid. While Judge Ramgaarbath was send ot Luthrinicae to inspect rumors of a ancient discovery.

An Artificial World
While flying from Quadrant 82 on route to Cyrannus, a scientific convoy got caught in an asteroid storm and crashed on another mysterious world.

A Capricornian scientist asked a CSA Pilot to go and explore the planet and search for a radio for contact any nearby allied ships. On one of his travels he discovered an ancient monolith with writings similar to the ones found on the Shrine of Selenyia. He remembered the symbols and went into it only to find a large army of the unknown aliens guarding a purple building, the pilot sneaked and found a radio.

He contacted a Star Destroyer only to be caught by the radios computer which ordered the region glassed. The scientists were rescued in the nick of time but the scientists made a very rare discovery, the planet was artificial. The aliens had the technology to create planets and the one where they were standing was still under construction.

Starting Conflict
A few days after the incident on the Artificial World, Eire's orbital station, detected 2 Cognatus Battlecrusiers entering the system on long range sensors; the cruiser registered as an unknown object but determined the ship was constructed of materials beyond known science.

Governor Frio Tyio issued an order for all colonists to assembled in Dealgan, the capital, for immediate evacuation. Many chose not to leave and were killed in the subsequent ground battle and glassing. Captured intelligence revealed the Cognatus's interest in artifacts and relics to the CSA. Unfortunately all contact was lost soon after.

The Colonial Management Board dispatched the CSS Kara to investigate the cessation of communications from Eire, and the scout ship arrived in system soon after. The ships AI unsuccessfully attempted to warn the Kara of the enemy presence. The scout ship managed to send a single signal before being destroyed by the Cognatus Fleet.

The Battle begins
The Kara was followed up by a battlegroup consisting of 5 Hunter Class, 5 Imperator Class, 10 Serindia Class and 25 Incendia Class and a number of Quadrantia Ships. Admiral Sarasfield of the CSS Thrace commanded the formation. Teams of troops landed on the surface finding the once lush colony a barren, icy world with large fields of molten hot glass. A CSA camp survived and told a Trooper about what had happened. Meanwhile an AT SW patrol found a city, the trooper followed the walker and found only 2 survivors a young Rambo and a young Capricornian, the two were then rescued just before the AT SW reported unknown lifeforms approaching from the South East. They were Cognatus Defilers and were quickly killed by the Trooper and the Walker, then a dozen Cognati beamed down causing the Trooper to flee, all ground forces then retreated to formulate a counterattack.

An Epic Battle
The URC fleet arrived at Eire on 2 days after the events on the ground, and engaged the lone Cognatus ship through a slingshot maneuver around the planet. Multiple ships, including the CSS Venator and the CSS Moran, were quickly destroyed. Conventional weapons, including nuclear ordnance, had very little effect on the enemy. Admiral Sarasfield realized the enemy was using energy shields, unlike any ever encountered, and ordered the fleet to fire all of its weapons simultaneously at the target. This overwhelmed the shields and destroyed the Cognatus vessel.

Reinforcements
The victory did not bode well, 31/60 URC and Rambo ships were destroyed by the single ship. Matters got worse when a massive Cognatus Fleet jumped directly into the Fleet, the extra hard material protecting the COgnatus ships allowed many to survive but the majority of the Allied Fleet were destroyed, luckily Admiral Cretaceous jumped into the system with 230 Hunter Class Star Destroyers. The battle was fierce and the Allies took heavy casualties, the Cognatus however did not, the Cognatus weapons were too powerful and destroyed many dozens of Star Destroyers. The Allies had numbers on there side, and eventually caused the Cognatus to retreat.

Doriaca joins the fight
The Doriaca Kingdom joined the Intergalactic war during its first week. The reason the Doriaca Kingdom joining the war was simple, there allies the United Republic of Cyrannus was involved in the war and they wanted to help there allies. The first thing the Kingdom did was to send a small fleet of ships and a division of soldiers to the Cyrannus Galaxy, more would come soon.

The Elliontic Trade Route
The Elliontics came into the Intergalactic War 1 week after it started. Cognatus fleets headed through their territory and attacked one of their vital trade routes. A small battle followed between Elliontic defence units and the Cognatus attack force. Several huge Elliontic trade frigates were lost in the fighting. The Elliontics retaliated immediately, building hundreds of battle cruisers and fighter pods. The Elliontic capital ship of this fleet was named the E.S Venegance. A diplomat was sent to the Allies, to ask to join and fight the Cognatus. It was accepted, and the Elliontics joined the war officially. Despite being currently engaged in two wars already, the new fleet managed to cope very well. Over the next few weeks, a seige on the Cognatus world Dannarium was put into place by the Elliontics. The planet was conquered with minimal Elliontic casualties, and the E.SVenegance proved it's deadly capabilites. The Elliontics were not to be messed with.

Bounty Hunters at Vulmiartari
After Rambas II and Princess Ramtilsae finished there State Visit to the CSA (now the Cyrannus Republic) Captain Rambam of the USS Luna brought the two to the Rambo Capitol planet where Rambas recieved command of the USS Caprica, a Merced class ship. Happily with it, he went to the libary of Vulmiartari to research ancient structures found throughout the history of Rambo Nation.

Later on, Rambam travelled to Vulmiartari too, where he met an old friend, now a farmer who was recently plaguaed by farmers. None the less, he headed to the city to find the innter fortress taken hostage and blocked by a shield. When wanting to enter his home, he encountered a Bounty Hunter named Thelma and the two battled for possesion of a shield key. The bounty hunter lost and fled the scene.

Inside the fortress Rambam met with Rambas who informed him Ramtilsae has been taken hostage (again) and the bounty hunter had headed to the airfield. Now, unpleased with the events he headed there but learned that he was to late. After a short battle with the Bounty Hunter Emto he defeated him (or so it seemed) and he also fled the Rambo Capitol. Rambam was then confronted by Judge Magister Ramgaarbath who gave him a new mission, save Ramtilsae, find an ancient record and infriltrate the Syndicate!!!

Meanwhile, Emto had taken a look at pictures on an ancient structure, and he wondered what his employees wanted with it?

The DCP declares war
The DCP had been monitoring the Cognatus activities for a long time, and belived the Cognatus needed "taming". When the DCP became members of the Galactic Republic, they decided to declare war on the Cognatus Alliance.

First Contact
The Doriaca Kingdom wanted to have a military base in the Cyrannus Galaxy so they could garrison troops and keep them ready. The Kingdom sent a task force to scout and find a planet that would be strategic location for a base. The task force found a planet that appeared suitable so the task force went in for a closer look...but unknown to them the Cognatus also had an interest in the planet. Soon after the Doriaca task force entered the atmosphere when the Cognatus attacked. The Zonic Gunboats was quickly destroyed but the Titan class was a harder target and manged to destroy one of the Congnatus ships.

Nigtrion first Official Independent army
The Nigtrions, almost being with hands tide up during the Second Galactic War, and currently the Interstellar war, made a war council, watching how their brethren the Krassio Host have become totally independent and separated from them. As representative of the Nigtrion Forsaken Tribes in Rambo Nation. Master Leezard announced the official creation of an independent Nigtrion army, one that will follow the Nigtrion's will only. The newly formed army joined forces with the Rambo Nation and The URC to fight the Cognatus.

Battle at the Cyrannus-Quadrantia Wormhole
While Captain Ramcard returned from his visits and diplomatic mission to the Core Federation, Ramcard dediced to travel to the Cyrannus Wormhole, as it was often a short cut from Rambo Nation to the Core Federation and ofcourse the United Republic of Cyrannus. Following the Bounty Hunter Hostage at the Rambo Capitol planet, Rambo command ordered Ramcard and the USS Dallas to take this route and take captive any bounty hunters encountered and re-supply the small defense task force of the wormhole.

Upon dropping out of Warp Ramcard saw a massive and large purple ship heading to the wormhole, all around her Rambo and URC ships were crippled, even an Olympic Class, a medical ship. Only one Hunter Class of the URC managed to hold her ground but it was obvious she was losing the battle. Ramcard took the USS Dallas in persuit and fired several photon torpedo's and was able to damage a hull section. However, it was in vain as the Hunter Class could not substain any more firepower and was destroyed by the Cognatus ship. Immediatly the Cognatus ship entered the wormhole and arrived at Quadrant 82.

Ramcard, furious and fear followed the Cognatus ship and sended a SOS transmission to the nearest URC colonie. As the USS Dallas exited the wormhole, of the Cognatus ship was no sign and when contacting Rambo Command, they did notice an unknown ship entering Quadrant 82 but were unable to keep track as it vanished from radar................

Another unknown ship arrives!!!!
As Ramcard entered the wormhole in persuit of the Cognatus ship, at the edges of the Cyrannus Galaxy two Hunter Class Star Destroyers of the URC were patrolling the borders for Imperial or Cognatus activity. One of the Captains found it an honor while the other (the lead ship's captain) was really bored.

But his day would change dramatic, as an unknown white ship, resembling somewhat a Star Destroyer dropped out of warp. The large ship immediatly raised shields and targeted weapons.

Aboard the ARS Protector Captain Anciaddwia was nervous, these kind of ships did not appear in the ships database and she was unsure if they were friendly or hostile. As such, she raised red alert and took standard procedures for the vessels. She then nodded to her CoM officer and opened a channel to the lead URC ship, she said the following thing:

Greetings, I am Captain Anciaddwia of the URS Protector, I come in peace, please identify yourself!!!.

Response
The lead captain, Captain Harcadia was glad that his day got more interesting and sent the following transmission back to the unknown vessel

''Hello, I am Captain Harcadia of the CSS Enduring Freedom, We are from the United Republic of Cyrannus! What empire are you from? If you are peaceful we would be honoured by an alliance''

The White ship dropped it shields and Captain Anciaddwia was relieved that the new ships were friendly.

A new ally
Anciaddwia was relieved, they were friendly and according to there database they were followers of something called the Thirteenth Tribe, however the Acientia Captain did not fully understand what this means. She contacted Harcadia again and accepted his request of an alliance, upon lowering her shields she also invited the Captain for a meeting and hoping to learn of there species and the current status of the nearby Quadrant Galaxies. Her response message held the following message: ''Greetings, I am from the Acientia Kingdom, located in Quadrant 21. We were able to acces you Galaxy since the large nebula's and psionic shields have vanished from around our Galaxy. We gladly accept your alliance request. Perhaps you want us to meet personally on my ship and discuss the alliance?''

As Anciaddwia awaited the response of the URC Captain she informed Acientia Kingdom Military Command of the Alliance, and she was informed a small fleet of Acientia ships would soon arrive to back her up in exploring this Galaxy, in search of there Rambo brothern and sisters.

A Presidential Visit
Soon after an alliance was declared, a large fleet comprising of 2 Hunter Class SDs, a Galactica Class and the presidents offcial flagship, Colonial One. Colonial One docked with the URS Protector and President Apollo met with Anciaddwia, who was delighted to hear about her nations long lost brothers and sisters. The President showed her a brief history of the local universe such as the Tigris, Trucinex and most of all the Galactic Wars.

Captain Anciaddwia really wanted to meet the Rambo of Rambo Nation and with an escort of Admiral Cretaceous made her way to the Rambo Capital. Cretaceous could tell this was a start of a great alliance.

Week Two
As the second week of the war begins, a new ally in the form of the Rambo Acientia arrive to aid the Allies, and the Cognatus Battlecrusier still prowls Quadrant 82 in search for a fresh victim.

Week Two is sure to involve many epic battles and the Bounty Hunters search for certain important individuals...

Core Federation Aid
Finally the Core Federation sent on eof their Armadas, Great Fleet 1, to enter the fightin gin the war. A trillion CorFed ships pushed into Quadrant 82, while twice the number, led by the Empeuron-class super star destroyer of CorFed General Sared Trint held back and blockaded the Rambo's systems. More ships stopped at the Rambo Capital, Dinoman82, while others flew down on teh 12 Colonies. The General was informed of the dangerous Cognatus Battlecruiser, but with a blockade around the Allied systems there was few danger of being attacked. there they got the first glimpse of the Ancientia, and teh General seemed surprised. After a planning meeting, the General left half his elite forces at the Allies' command, and led the rest back to the blockade, to set up watch in case of attack. It would be a long night...

The Acientia and Rambo meet
As the URS Protector was escorted by various URC vessels to Rambo Space, upon entering Quadrant 82 and passing near the vital colonie of Rametru Nui a few Rambo ships arrived out of space, including the USS Adelphi, the personall ship of Empress Ramashe. She immediatly opened a channel with Anciaddwia and invited her and the URC Admiral onboard. Happy with the discovery of these new and unknown Ramboidae, she praised the URC for encountering them and there quick action to meet with the Acientia. After discussing more for a while, a contact came from deep within Quadrant 21, Anciaddwia was allowed to make an alliance with both the URC and Rambo Nation, and both sides eagerly accepted. After a few hourse of diplomatic talks, a decent fleet of the Acientia Kingdom arrived at Quadrant 82 at there current position near Rametru Nui. This fleet was led by Captain Anuatolian of the ARS Impavid. Ramashe and the URC Admiral Cretaceous were surprised, there ships looked powerfull and yet odd at the same time. None the less, both side were happy with the aid as Anciaddwia and Anuatolion claimed the Cognatus to be a threat to future events they were not allowed to discuss yet, and had to be dealed with. Ramashe then sended Cretaceous and Anuatolian back to the Cyrannus Galaxy to counter any attack made by the Cognatus, while Anciaddwia joined Ramashe in a visit to the Rambo Capitol to further discuss there common history and origins.

Encounter at Javan
The Cognatus Cruiser which had entered Quadrant 82 had dissapeared from radar. After no Rambo ship could detect it, Rambo Command assumed it leaved Quadrant 82. This was not true, instead the ship dropped out of space a few hours later near the Colonie of Javan. Javan, an outer colonie under the watchfull eye of Captain Ramborwski and protected by older class ships reacted immediatly and intercepted this unknown aliens vessel and opened channel. The lead vessel of the interception was the USS Majestic under command of Captain Ramniels. However, the Cognatus ship did not even answer the call and immediatly opened fire at the USS Majestic, the powerfull beam shot straigh through the Majestic's shields and the unfortunate Miranda Class ship was crippled and badly damaged. The other vessels, including the USS Divide, another Kelvin Class and a Constition Class attacked the Cognatus Cruiser but it was in vain, they were unable to pierce the shields and during the battle the other Kelvind Class was destroyed in the proccess. The USS Divide, the Constitution Class tagged the damaged Majestic back to Javan as the Cognatus Cruiser was plotting a course to circle around the Willa-2 System.

Intervention from the Core Federation
The Ravenrii's blockade soon interrupted the skirmishes between the Rambo and Cognatus, creating a barrier between the two sides. The General, Trint, then gave an important message:

''Pretenders to victory, enemies of each other. We know that your honor demands that you fight, and your words have caused many battles. But, it is now time to focus on a much larger problem-the Xhodocto, enemies of all of you, are suspected of amassing in their home galaxy of Tuuros. How can you stand here, fighting your own small wars, when there is an evil to be destroyed? We implore that you listen-for this time, only united we shall be able to flatten the Xhodocto. We ask that you stop this war, before you only weaken yourselves and then all of you fall to them. To the Rambo and the URC-as part of the G8 Nations, we ask that you join for an emergency meeting in planet Concentron to discuss contingency plans. As for the war-we suggest that the winner is decided later, so that the three of you might actually survive now. What do you answer?''
 * -High General Sared Trint, on behalf of the Federation of the Core Worlds

Battle of Cadian
Shortly after the final battle of the Eire campaign, the Cognatus quickly left the system after learning the location of the rich colony of Cadian from a ancient artifact buried under Eire's north pole. Upon reaching Cadian, two Cognatus Battlecruisers jumped into the system. The CSS Virgon, CSS Arie, CSS Majesty, and CSS Jumper engaged the two ships immediately, catching one of them with its shields down and destroying it. However, the URC force suffered for its part in the battle. The Virgon and Arie were both destroyed, the Jumper was venting atmosphere due to damage, and the Majesty suffered severe damage before crashing down to the planet.

Ground Battle
At the crash site, many people died, but most of the troopers and vehicles survived. Suddenly the ground began to shake, a huge walker came into view and began firing on the remaining army with a superlaser. There was no survivors.

The Kingdom sends help
After short communications with the Rambo Nation the Doriaca Kingdom sent a fleet of ships to asset the Rambo in Quadrant 82. Upon arriving at Quadrant 82 the Doriaca ships is greeted by whats left of a task force assigned to protect that reign of space against the Cognatus.

USS Relativity launched
Shorlty after the Doriaca Kingdom had sended a fleet to Quadrant 82, Rambo Nation launched there newly created Well Class, the USS Relativity into active service. Commanded by the Rambo Founder, it headed to Quadrant 21 to meet with the Ancientia. However, along the course she found herself chasing a Cognatus Battle Cruiser to another unknown alien race.

Mistake of the Cognati
This is also an adventure by - Emperor Imperios

Acientia together with Rambo Serindia have attacked several Cognati outposts. In order to counterattack, they have sent a fleet into Quadrant 21 that could glass their planets. Unfortunately, they have flied into space of.

A captain of the Collective, Nalarem, had contacted Cognati fleet. Main species of the Collective, the TerCols, were followers of Rambo Gods. When Nalarem said this in the negotiations, Cognati immediately marked them as Rambo allies (which they were not (yet), they didn't even know about the Rambo!) and heretics to be destroyed, and launched an attack on one of the Collective's T0 colony, Talia IV.

At first army of Defilers appeared and attacked citizen. Captain Nalarem killed them all personally. Then, an army of Scavengers and Nequams has attacked, and slowly they started to claw their way to the center of the city. Then, Nalarem has contacted the Collective's military. A group of Warhunters and Descents has been teleported directly to the city. This group alone has destroyed Cognati army and killed Shipmaster Kalsak, admiral of the Cognati Fleet, as well as destroyed his spaceship. Remaining ships either escaped or were destroyed by the Collective's fleet.

Meanwhile, a Rambo ship, with Rambo Founder himself onboard, has watched Cognati fighting the Collective. When the battle was over, Founder has descended from the ship, wondered by Collective's power in the battle. He asked Collective to ally, and Nalarem, as its representative, agreed. After some time, Founder discovered that main species of Collective, the TerCols, too have blessing of the Rambo Gods in their blood. After some research, it was discovered that TerCols were Zâniûlaris, aka the Forgotten Ones - a forgotten and abandoned species of Rambo which was mentioned in the myths of the Rambo Nation. It was also discovered that TerCols also believed in the Rambo Gods, (though they have different patron god than Serindia). Finally, Collective and Rambo Nation allied against the Cognati.

Infriltrating the Syndicate
After Rambam got his order, he carefully planned his move to infriltrate the Syndicate. After some searching he met with Captain Neras of the Interceptor, claiming he was a Bounty Hunter she brought him to the Syndicate HQ in Quadrant 89. The USS Luna followed closely behind and managed to avoid detection.

Upon landing, Rambam explored the HQ and almost run into Thellma, but he did not recognized him due to his frutrating behavior. After exiting the landing docks Rambam headed to the Saloon, after talking to numorous Bounty Hunter, including Ukho Yart and Jessica, he headed to the "palace" of Levarrion where he encountered Emto and Levarrion. Emto, immediatly recognising the Serindia Captain began attacking him but was soon defeated by Rambam. Upon facing Levarrion he also saw that Princess Ramtilsae was in that chamber. The huge figure of Levarrion refused to give up his new slave and tried to defeat Rambam, but due to his quick thinking and fast moves Levarrion was knocked uncouncios and the USS Luna arrived above the Syndicate HQ and prevented ships to take off. After beaming onboard Rambam took command of the USS Luna again and after escaping an attack by Syndicate Interceptors he arrived back at the Rambo Capitol. There he brought Ramtilsae to the Empress where the unfortunate Princess recieved a lecture by the Empress to be more carefull.

Imperial Attack
An Ancientia Foray class vessel was travelling in Quadrant 82 to the Rambo Capitol, this ship was called the New Horizon and the Clone Commander of this ship was a bold one. As the crew was resting, an unknown ship dropped out of hyperspace near the New Horizon and suddenly opened fire at the surprised Ancientia.

The Clone Commander contacted the alien vessel and demanded to cease fire, the image that showed up surprised him, it was a Lizardian who introduced himself as Lizassk, but his database showed him commanding another vessel. Lizassk explained this to him, the Imperial Lizardian Star Destroyers were put out of active service and this was a newer class. Lizassk than boarded the ship and took all the clones captive onboard. However, he killed the Clone Command and left the ship a drift.

Attack of the Cognatus
The Cognatus decided they would attack the DCP research outpost Ekravanus, in the system Oploy Major. The system holds some importance to the DCP, the star is rather unique, which attracts astrophysicists, the nearby planet Goydon has an abundamnce of neutronium and Ekravanus is a coral reef world, where biologists and ecotourists visit. But since it is a major scientific outpost, the Cognatus believed attacking and destroying it in a big show of force would demoralise the coalition.
 * Just before the attack, Titanozor and Admiral Horlin were travelling to Moystior, but as they past Oploy Major, Titanozor could sense danger was near, so, trusting Titanozors instincts, they decided to check out the system and make sure everything was running smoothly. Horlin entered, the reseach base, and the head of operations, a Flixxel said everything was working normally.  Horlin was about to leave, when the colony got a holomessage from a Prophet of the Cognati.  After a quick angry discussion, the base was attacked, and over 100 Cognatus battlecruisers invaded the system and overwhelmed its defeneses (although the system wasn't heavily defended).

They beamed straight through the anti-teleportation walls, and invaded the base, Admiral Horlin managed to save the archives, but it was too late, the system had been conquered. However, the Flixxel told him to take an aquaskimmer over the water to a nearby island, which is housed inside a a cloaking bubble. There was a weapon of great power. After activating the device, Horlin returned to regroup with Titanozor, who assembled a small army of DCP Juggernarts and Ultra troopers. Together they defeated the Defilers and Scavengers, but Cognati sent reinforcements. However, the weapon activated and 70% of the Cognatus army and ships froze in time! The Flixxel and other scietists explained they were working on a secret weapon for the Council of War. The weapon created a bubble of warped spacetime over the target which caused time to slow down (but not to stop). This would allow reinforcements to arrive by the time the weapon is switched off!

An armada of 500 DCP warships entered the system and surrounded the Cognatus. The bubble was lifted and to the rather confused Cognati, the they found themselves bombed out of orbit. Some limped home to tell of their harrowing story. The Prophet of the Cognati contacted Admiral Horlin, to find out what happend, believing it was dark magic, however Horlin explained it was science (the Cognatus are extremely advanced, but they believe their technology and sciences was originally created by the gods, and the gods tell their craftsmen, engineers and scientists what to build).

Wraith of the Cognatus
Angered by the two recent victories by the allies, the Cognatus decided it was time to show the universe how deadly they can be. Across the Cognatia Galaxies, scores of battlecrusiers and other warships began a gigantic invasion on the allied galaxies, trillions of troops of the Cognatus got ready for battle to protect the ancient structures from falling into the hands of the allies. This message was sent to all the allies:

''We hope you are pleased with your recent victories over us, and so you should, cherish the past, enjoy the present because your destruction is near! ''

Kingdom's response
The Doriaca Kingdom has never token any threat lightly, especially after 'the war' so when the Cognatus gave there threat it was only natural for the Kingdom to respond with drastic measures. Once King Cavvia'Ko and the royal councal got wind of the Cognatus invasion force they ordered a massive warfleet assembled and sent them to 'give the Cognatus a warm welcome'. Once the two fleets meet the outcome of the battle is uncertain but one is, it is going to be total war.

Confederation of Andromeda intervention
The CoA's leaders the Vartekians were enemies with the Cognatus for a very long time, When they heard that the Cognatus started an intergalactic war the Vartekians could not help but join in the fight, Since the Vartekians had know other allies in the war they brought in their own allies. Soon the other Confederation members joined the Vartekians and together they headed off for the war zones.

Power of the Elliontics
At the end of week 2, the Elliontic fleet set off toward deep Cognatus territory. They had pre-plotted a destination, the major Cognatus world of Luxus V, and rallied their generals in Cyrannus for the assault to come. The fighters and frigates were in the front, keeping away any Cognatus ships that came close, and the E.S Venegance was above them all, watching. Also in the fleet were 300 transports containing thousands of Elliontic soldiers. The fleet arrived and surrounded the world, while many divisions of fighters and all of the transports broke off and headed towards a second Cognatus planet, Kegzus. The cruisers and frigates began bombing the planet with deadly Judicator bombs and giga missiles, but with only small effect. The planet's defence systems engaged and felled several cruisers before being finished off by the Vengeance. A red light began glowing on the capital ship...

Meanwhile, the second fleet arrived at Kegzus and began small attacks around the planet with fighters, and all of the transports landed and began ground assaults. There was much resistance and many Elliontics were killed, but eventually the capital of the planet fell to the Elliontics.

On Luxus V, all of the bombing ships had pulled away to Kegzus, leaving only the Vengeance. For the whole attack, the Vengeance had only been charging it's primary weapon, the Sun laser. At this point, it fired the Sun laser and the planet shook. The core exploded from within the planet and threw the crust into space, melting most of it and leaving only a ball of lava.

Week Three
As the Cognatus Fleet begins to invade the enemy forces, many allies are involved with attacks against the Xhodocto, the Cognatus sees it as the perfect opportunity to strike.

The Sylits' Aid
Finally helping their allies, the Sylit Republic sent a fleet of over 150,000,000 ships to aid the URC and Rambo Nation. The Sylit Republic sent the troops through the Ramvelkys Wormhole, a wormhole that is the Galactic Core of Ramvelkys Galaxy. The Ramvelkys Wormhole is connected to the Cyrannus core, which is also a wormhole (See:Fiction:URC-SR trade route). The Sylit fleet immediately entered URC space, and the fleet is currently under command of the URC and Rambo Nation.

Mystery on Eire
While orbiting the glassed colony of Eire, Admiral Cretaceous and Captain Rambas II discovered an ancient artefact on the planets surface, they sent down a dozen URC Troopers to destroy the Cognatus defence on the planet, it was an easy task due to only a few defilers being stationed there. After the URC/Rambo found the artefact they were led to a volcanic planet on near Quadrant 82 to find that the landing party sent there was destroyed by an unknown hostile that was not a Cognatus, the URC finally destroyed these hostiles but something awakened from the lava: The Dark Ones, the Apocalypta!

Tricarrion's plot
Also see Light and Dark

Tricarrion had now lost a battle with Bo Ramik. He went back to the DCP seperatist remnant. He found that if ascended bings are worshipped, they could become even more powerful. So he didn't just act as a leader, but as a god. A religion started - the Order of the Shadows, and every time he was worshipped, he became a bit more powerful. But this still wasn't enough. Now Tricarrion began to look at manipulating the course of the Intergalactic War (and he already is in the War of Ages, sided with the Xhodocto). He turned to the evil gods Apocrypha and Artemis...

Rambo Outer Colonial Fleet
Shortly after the Rambo Founder made contact with the TCC, the Outer Colonial Fleet recieved a massive update so that the ship classes functioning there could match the speed and fire power of the Miranda Classes and the Excelsior Classes before they recieved there upgrade. Afterwards, due to the shortness of Captains, Ramborwski and the other 18th Fleet captain who did not command a Early History ship were withdrawn to the protect the inner regions of Rambo Nation, much at the dismay of Ramborwski.

She than appointed Ambassador Ram'vindalë of Ramar Shadda as the Lady of the Outer Regions, effectivly giving her the title of Lady and ruler of the Outer Regions, however she still had to listen to Empress Ramashe and rapport to her. The Empress reached this decision as the many wars and the current recovering from the Second Galactic War prevented her to rule the various region personall, so she sended various Lord and Ladies to rule those regions, under her command of course. The most important decisions still needed her approval.

Background
Despite suffering a minor defeat at the the hands of the TCC and the DCP, the Cognatus managed to place a tracking device on a URDF warship and use it to find nearby URC worlds. When the ship returned to the colony of Scorpia the URC presence, and its extent, was revealed to the Cognatus fleet.

The Battle
The main Cognatus force moved in on the orbital defenses. A previously unknown warship type, the Cognatus Inquisition Class, carrying a new weapon, the energy projector, revealed itself destroying the CSS Ionian before withdrawing temporarily. The attacking fleet withdrew to regroup after deploying hundreds of dropships to the surface. The URC fleet pursued and destroyed many of the Cognatus dropships, but many made it through and landed on Scorpias's equator. The battle in space also continued to rage until the URC Super Star Destroyer Remember exploded destroying 40 other star destroyers.

The Ground Battle
When the Cognatus landed they went straight for the military bases, they were met with fiece resistance from the URC but they eventually got the upper hand due to a more advanced technology and numbers. Many troopers regrouped for a counter attack, as Fleet Admiral Hall, the most senior in the URC Fleet, rushed to Rambo Nation for aid.

Genocide at Virashadon-A
The Cognatus decide to attack the DCP. The only warning the DCP got was a subspace message they recieved of the Cognatus chanting. It was a message for the Grimbolsaurian race:''Die heretics, your planets will shine with glass, and the smell of charred Grimbolsaurians will be blown away in the wind! '''Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! ANNIHILAAAATE'!!!

Virashadon A and B was a binary system in the Cyrannus galaxy. Several planets orbited either star. Virashadon-A star's planet Florboon was the main planet, a T6 class world, with rare, precious resources unseen throughout most of Cyrannus. It was a jewel of the skies, shining violet and turquoise. The second colony Haaaplop was a backup colony orbiting Virashadon-B, a white dwarf star (yet unkbown to the Cognatus). The Cognatus attacked the system with over 600 starships, and not all at once, remembering their defeat last time. But there was no special weapon, no legion or whatever here, just a fleet of Blade Class battlecruisers commanded by a Star Dreadnought (and some orbital defense satellites). The Cognatus ships flooded in, and although the DCP fired back and destroyed various ships there was much devastation for the DCP. The Cognatus reinforcements kept coming, and like a swarm of angry ants, they overwhelmed the DCP's home forces. Even the mighty Dreadnought was gunned from orbit. The civilians on the surface didn't have enough time to teleport or escape off world, so many went underground, but many more knew they would ultimately loose, and staired death in the face and stood with pride on the surface, as great torrents of energy glassed the Florboon's land into molten slag. Molten rock poured into the mines. And in a final act to make sure nothing was going to leave, the Cognatus bombed the surface with hydrogen bombs, and the glass turned to ashes. Nothing survived...

Virashadon-B

The Cognatus now in glory necked blood wine and decided to sing war games and hyms to the gods. But the Cognati commander declared work was yet to be done, they must search the entire binary system. Every troop hurried away to their posts, in fear of being "dispensed" with by their peers. A fat and rather drunk Defiler stumbled over. He was shot. Life aboard the Cognatus ships was brutal (and actually similar to DCP ships in that manner), especially for the lower ranking Defilers.

The Cognatus found little resistance from the small support colony, as it was an agriworld. However, the Cognatus jumped the system to attack the next. But one survivor was left on Haaaplop. His name was Krekak, a young Grimbolsaurian warrior. He did the clever thing by masking his genetic signiture with that of a native animal, so he was not detected. The Cognatus didn't bother wasting their energy on glassing such a small colony. Krekak then had to find his way off this rock. He discovered a half destroyed shuttle, he was good engineer as well as a warrior, and repaired the craft within a couple of days. He left the system, and vowed to get revenge. But one is for certain, the DCP will now vent its full rage on the Cognatus.

Ambushed


Since the Confederation of Andromeda arrived they were caught in an electrical pulse field they believe a special Cognatus weapon caused. The Confederation then flew to the source of where the blast was launched. As they neared their goal they flew through a ship graveyard littered with damaged Rambo and URC cruisers. Out of the dark misty smoke of rubble a fleet of Cognatus battle stars spontaneously popped in sending a rain of particle beams down at the Confederation cruisers. The beams struck the Confederation ships hard destroying the first few ships in the front. Swiftly the confederation ships retaliated with suppressed rounds of plasma bolts. In quick succession the bolts charged through the Cognatus ships eradicating half the fleet in a storm of explosions. The Cognatus battle stars retreated but it was just the beginning of their attack.

The DCP defense
The DCP had hundreds of millions of warships and trillions of soliders, they were not going to back down to the loss they had taken. The great problem was, that the DCP fleet was already busy in the War of Ages fighting the invading Xhodocto, the Xhodocto in Nexus and the Xhodocto in hell. But the DCP had a battle plan. The DCP has been experimenting with weapons that can destroy entire fleets and colonies without even being there. These weapons are also considered dishonorable and are only used for occasions such as this one or for giving small colonies a lot more fire power. These were the Hyperspace missiles, Torpedo platforms and the Entanglement manipulators (they are not superweapons though, just weapons of mass destruction).

It was dawn on the Cognatus world Urabadon, normal life was just starting, troops readied for battle, and prairs were sang at the alter. But then a great wormhole appeared above the city, it was a hyperspace missile. It materialised within the city and detonated. The planets crust was cracked open. This happend to several more Cognatus colonies, and it would be a while before they would realise what had happend.
 * Back in Cyrannus, 5000 Cognatus battlecruisers were heading towards DCP space. But suddenly, 3 torpedo platforms appeared, and fired their great torrent of missiles in all directions.  They are spherical unmanned devices that can fire missiles at every angle, and can replicate more missiles (but not for ever).  The spheres caused great damage as 1,550 ships were completely destroyed, a further 2000 heavily damaged and the rest of the ships scattered into hyperspace as a DCP fleet showed up.  The DCP had halted the advance of the Cognatus invasion for now, to allow time for DCP reinforcements.

Space Battle
As Fleet Admiral Hall arrived at the position Captain Rambam II had taken with his combined fleet of Rambo and Ancientia ships, they immediatly rushed to aid the URC in there dire need. Rambam forces surprised the Cognatus blockade and managed to break a hole in the fleet. Using this to there advance, some Ancientia Troop Transports and various Rambo ship entered orbit and headed for the cities and villages, to evacuate the URC citizens.

Meanwhile above, the USS Caprica damaged a Cognatus Battle Cruiser and various Forrestal Class ships launched there Rambo fighters. This meant, the Cognatus ships had to regroup and the evacuation ships had time to aid the URC citizens. However, the Cognatus did not give the Rambo much time to evacuate Scorpio and the City of Celeste.

Evacuation of Celeste
As the Space battle above was raging on the Rambo and Ancientia fighters were chasing and engaging the various Cognatus Ghost fighters. This attack meant that a single Constitution Class V2 was able to fight her way to Celeste and she was escorted by various Ancientia Troop Transport/Assault Carriers and they deployed there troops to engage the enemy Cognatus forces in the city. Led by two Ancientia soldiers, they managed to re-take a part of the city. However, they were unable to get to URC Admiral Shaw, as he was trapped by a Cognatus Elite. However, various star ships were damaged during the battle, and various URC ships also aided in the evacuation upon arriving. But Rambam II and Captain Anuatolian arrived too and aided in the evacuation and the various Rambo and Ancientia fighters kept off any Ghost fighters of the Cognatus. During the evacuation Admiral Cretaceous arrived and talked to Rambam and Anuatolian. He arrived with a daring warning, the evacuation had to finished quickly. Understanding, both Ramboidae Captains nodded and wrapped up the evacuation and left the city. Admiral Cretaceous headed into the city and aided in defeating the Cognatus and fought his way up to the Capitol Building of Celeste, were Admiral Shaw was cornered. As Cognatus, Ancientia and URC troopers were batteling, Cretaceous fought the Cognatus Elite and managed to defeat him in single combat. He then took Admiral Shaw into a gunship and looked in awe as a Cognatus Battle Cruiser had arrived above the city and fired a massive beam upon the city.

Arriving at the USS Merced, Rambam told Creteceous that over 15 million citizens had been saved, but he did not know how many lived on Scorpia. And the space battle was also not yet finished, but the Ancientia Assault Carriers with the evacuees onboard, had escaped the battle and arrived safely at a nearby URC colonie.

The Fall
The allied flight fought in what is the largest space battle the URC has ever participated in, 10000 new Cognatus ships jumped into orbit around Scorpia, it was now the Admiral Cretaceous knew that Scorpia was going to fall, the remaining allied ships jumped back to another of the Twelve Colonies, Virgon in order to regroup, it was then they discovered the news that all of the outer colonies numbering 400,000 colonies had been destroyed in the course of the battle, many in the URC lost hope that the Cognatus could be defeated and so they turned to the DCP to help...

Skirmish in the Milky Way
The Cognatus Alliance also control a reasonable portion of the Milky Way galaxy, and, not far from their region of space is a DCP expansion sector. The two had met prior to this war, and obviously, negotiations failed. The Cognatus thought they can disrupt reinforcements to the Cyrannus galaxy by attacking the DCP in their own galaxy, so they invaded with thousands of battlecruisers. They became a problem for the outer worlds, and several inner colonies had been breached and were even glassed, however, the Milky way is where the DCP is at its strongest, and lossed heavily as soon as the new DCP star destroyers backed the sectior, fresh from the Delpha Sector. In return, the DCP fired a subspace burst weapon into the heart of the Cognatus controlled space, heavily interfering with hyperspace travel, while the DCP's Tachyonic Shift Drives were unaffected, in return, the DCP sent another invasion force, while the COfnatus were still disrupted. This gave the peoples of the United Republic of Cyrannus a bit more hope, and showed that the war can be brought to their fronts too. After the skirmish, nearly all of the DCP's star destroyers and some more ships went straight on to reach Capricorn space. The battle plan, is that the Rambo and URC hold for as long as they can, while the DCP attack the Cognatus in their own space. Heavy losses are expected, on both sides.

General Arivino
The Confederation grew ever closer to his operation and general Arivino became worried. "How could they have possibly gotten past my ambush" he though. The general sat himself down on a metal thrown over looking the large ship yard of battle cruisers. Than he turned around to face the large gate like structure behind him. "We need to get more power... the weapon only stalled the Confederation ships... when we develop it we shall have to test it on the confederation ships... than the DCP... and we must act fast" Arivino's eyes darted to one of the shadows in the room. A Vate was staring at him and he looked worried. "What is the matter now?" The general said "There is someone on the planet sir... somehow he made it past the security... " The general quickly stood on his feet and loomed over the Vate. "This had better not be one of your little tricks." He than carefully proceeded through the doors to the outside forest. As soon as the general stepped outside his eyes darted to a dark clearing close to the nearby forest. A dark figure emerged from the dark. "Hello general." The Generals eyes showed fear but his voice had not changed as he calmly said "hello, Votarah." The Dark Figure grinned "your toy is mighty large... yet it was not powerful enough to destroy the Confederations fleets..." Arivino started to look worried now. "Well i'm not gonna let you see it if thats what you want!" The Vartekian laughed sending chills down the generals spine. "well I'm not gonna stand around and let you play with fire..." Votarah lunged at the General swiftly. The General quickly countered and whipped his sword through the air just missing the Vartekian by an inch. Votarah Quickly slammed his leg into the generals thigh. Arivinos legs buckled and gave way under his weight as he fell to the ground. Votarah held his sword to the generals neck. "That was a dirty and dishonorable move!" the General coughed. "It was a dirty and stupid move to fire that piece of crap at us." Votarah retaliated... As he left for the room Votarah kicked the generals sword away. From there The General could only listen to the sounds of his peoples screams. "tomorrow," the General whispered. "Tomorrow I will skin you alive."

Battle of the E.C.C Sunrise
Admiral Salrah, the leader of the Elliontic fleet in Cyrannus, strode to the comm deck aboard the E.S Venegance and pushed forwrd the large red lever that began communications. A large image of the Emperor, Kallavahus, appeared on the glass screen before him. "Emperor, the war is going well enough, but the Cognatus are so numerous it would be impossible to defeat every last one of them with just our fleet. We have pushed the Vengeance to the limit with the use of the Sun laser and the repeated attacks drain our power further. We request that you send your great ship to assist us." The Emperor considered this, and then replied, "I will accept your request, though Grox attacks here grow ever more powerful with each passing day." Suddenly, the image flickered and changed, and the audio fizzled out. All the lights on the deck went off for a second, and then returned. A Vates was now on the screen and was screaming in rage at Salrah, "You dare believe you can stop us? You dare believe that you can change the will of the gods? No. NO! YOU CAN NOT DEFEAT US! You obliterated the holy world of Luxus and now, YOU EXPECT TO WIN!That will not happen! That will not happen EVER!" The image dissapeared and was replaced by Kallavhus.

2 hours after, the E.C.C Sunrise arrived in Cyrannus, a mighty vessel 20 times the size of Earth containing the Emperor's citadel. It dwarfed the nearby E.S Venegance. Admiral Salrah flew across in a transport and was greeted by the Emperor and Captain Canore of Ellitic III. They strolled along the gleaming whiestone corridor toward the grand War Room and came out with a decision made. Guarded by the Cyrannus fleet, the Sunrise would begin an assault on the holy Cognatus world of Sanctuous. On the way, a large reading was detected on the radar of the Vengeance and all ships were prepped for battle. "Report!" Yelled Salrah, and a young Cadet replied, "Cognatus fleet! Over 8 thousand ships!" Salrah's throat went dry, and he grabbed his weapons. He sprinted to the comm deck and yanked on the lever, issuing an order to the captains of every ship: "Begin firing as soon as they come into range!" The ships turned their weapons to the approaching ships, and Salrah ran to the window. He saw 10 Inquisition-class ships among the mass. Every gun on the ships suddenly began blazing, pouring firepower into the enemy fleet. "Fire the Sun laser at those Inquisition ships before they hit the Sunrise!" He yelled. The bright purple light of the Sun laser lit up and tore a swathe through the Cognatus cruisers, and, more importantly, one of the Inquisition-class ships began hurtling downwards. The Sunrise flew low above the Vengeance and fired 2 more Sun lasers. Only one hit. Salrah smiled and did a little salute. The Cognatus numbers were dwindling. 5 Cognatus cruisers began a run on the Sunrise, weapons blazing. 4 were shot down by various ships, but one survived and crashed directly into the ship's hull. The Sunrise wobbled slightly, but remained mostly intact. The battle lasted 8 hours but eventually, the Elliontics sent the Cognatus running.

Week Four
The United Republic has been severally crippled by the loss of Scorpia, and over 200,000 worlds in the outer rim, meanwhile the DCP continues to buy time for the rest of the allies...

The Shrine of the Rambo Ultimate God revealed!!


Near Luthrionicae the Rambo discovered an ancient structure, with the same markings and signs at the Ancient Structure side. After Judge Magister Drace and a squad of Rambo soldiers entered the shrine, they discovered it was the Shrine of the Ultimate God. Later on, Princess Ramtilsae also visited the side and explored the Shrine with two Ancientia Clone Troopers (by tricking Judge Magister Drace).

After entering the Shrine, they encountered a security drones, and managed to defeat them. After entering another dome, they saw Cognatus drop ships arrive through a portal and attacked the Rambo forces. Also Ramtilsae saw that an ancient Rambo ship, the USS Bonaventura was docked inside the dome. However, with no time to explore the ship she headed to the top after she and a few soldiers defeated the Cognatus. She then entered an even larger dome where she encountered and battled the Judge of the Shrine and managed to trick her and defeat her. In grattitude and as her duty tells her, the Judge of the Shrine brought Ramtilsae to the Core of the Rambo Capitol. There she met with the Ancrevialicia and learned there history and also visited the Tomb of Captain Ramolla.

After speaking to another Ancrevialicia, Ramtilsea invited them to leave the core and enter the Rambo society, something they hesitantly agreed with.

The Duel
Captain Canore strolled along the corridors of the E.C.C Sunrise, running his hands along the smooth walls and observing the intricate paintings dotted around. Mechanics from the E.S Vengeance had just finished repairing the damage from the battle last week. He made his way to the War Room, where Captain Janroxi, a famed hero from Operation Blue Sonic, Ship Captain Hervahuss, the captain of the E.S Starlight, Fleet Admiral Salrah, and the Emperor were waiting. In the centre of the room was the Holotable, with a 3D image of a large mountain on it. Salrah said: "We think this mountain is a Cognatus base, and there's an important general and a few guards inside. A full attack would be useless, they'd see us coming and run, so we'd have to send in a strike team." The Emperor took over. "You, Hervahuss and Janroxi have the most combat experience, so we've chosen you to make up the strike team." Canore nodded. "There's a transport waiting in the Hangar. Good luck."

The team went to the hangar and climbed in the transport. "Sorry, but you're gonna have to do a lot of walking. We're dropping you quite far from the base to keep undetected." The transport landed in the middle of a rocky and mountainous area and walked to the mountain shown on their Radars. They entered through the base of the mountain and began going up, silently as possible. Canore whispered, "You two go on the left. I see a fork in the path ahead." They did so, and Canore found his way along the right fork. He entered a large circular room with a pedastal in the centre. Janroxi and Hervahuss did not appear. He walked forward and heard a whisper behindm him. He swerved round and pointed his Pulse gun at where the sound came from, but there was nothing there. He heard laughing and turned to see a Cognati surrounded by Defilers. The Defilers were chanting, "Death. Death. Death. Death." The Cognati smiled and crouched and Canore raised his Pulser. The Cognati leaped at him and a furious duel began. He was releived to see that Janroxi and Hervahuss had arrived, and were fighting the Defilers.

The Cognati fell dead on the cold stone floor. The mission was complete.

The Doriaca Ambush
The Doriaca Kingdom had been fairly quit in the war, but that was all about to change. The Kingdom had been waiting for the right moment to strike the Cognatus. They found it when Kingdom intelligence picked up a large Cognatus fleet heading towards a URC colony. Parts of the 12th and 109th fleet was sent to ambush the Cognatus invasion force. After the ambush was sprung the Doriaca Kingdom and Cognatus fleet was engulfed in a massive battle. over 1,342 Kingdom ships and 1,563 Cognatus ships clashed in dead space for nearly 24 hours until the Cognatus fleet retreated. The Kingdom won the battle but at the cost of 910 of there own ships. None the less, the Kingdom has showed the Cognatus that they are a force to be reckoned with.

The Crash
Ever since his duel with Votarah general Arivino has carefully been tracking him down waiting to strike. Arivino was in his ship his crew accompanying him as they neared a desolate planet. "We lost Votarah's signal here" one of the crew members announced. Arivino's gaze sharpened. Switch on atmospheric shields and turn on stealth mode. There's a desert nearby, If we land there we can intercept the base he's hiding in." One of the crew members flinched. "sir... we've lost contact with our ship engines." Arivino swiftly jumped toward the crew member's computer, his eyes darting rapidly around the screen. "None of the ships circuits are working! We're going to crash!" Arivino dashed for his seat, "Prepare for impact!" The Ship started to heat up and the crew could here the explosions from the engines. The crew buckled as the ship smashed ruthlessly into the ground. Arivino and his crew were surprisingly sill conscious as they cautiously rose from their seats. Arivino hurled himself at the cockpits broken window and smashed through it landing with a "thud" on the sandy ground. His crew members followed out the window as well each landing on the ground with a loud "Thunk, thump, Thud." Arivino lifted his head up to see a dark figure approaching them. "Halt!" He ordered menacingly as he drew his blaster. The Figure lifted it's finger and the general watched in shock as a spout of electricity shot out and slammed into his gun, the force hurling it away. The Hooded figure grinned sending chills down Arivino's back. The crew quickly came to his aid shooting particle beams at the mysterious foe. This time the figure chanted something and the general could only watch in horror as his crew's heads combusted in front of him. The figure cackled and let down his hood. It was a Vartekian Sorcerer. He once again grinned at the Arivino. "Dark energy It has many uncanny abilities." The General simply stood there motionless but he felt something within his head almost as if the Vartekian was speaking through his head. "Your after Captain Votarah aren't you? Well he told me you'd be arriving soon. That guy even hired me to bring your ship down." Arivino still stunned from what he had witnessed quietly whispered "impossible know one can bring down an entire ship!" The Vartekian started to walk away "You'd be surprised" the Vartekian said. "Lucky for you he even asked me to keep you alive."

Fortune favours the bold
This is actualy an adventure, by the same name.

The DCP invaded the Cognatus Alliance. However, the DCP's invasion fleet wasn't staggeringly big, because much of it was fighting the Xhodocto. But still, the DCP sent almost all of its new Star Destroyers, some Dreadnoughts, Blade Class battlecruisers all commanded by Warlord Titanozor in his Halberd Class ship.

At first, the DCP arrived to a blockade. The Cognatus ships didn't all fire straight away, and were testing the DCP's patience. Warlord Titanozor does not like petty wargames, and invaded very quickly. He said "Fortune favours the bold", a proverb of Earth, he had been reading about humans in the SSA database. Some Cognatus ships went down, but their formations were barely dented. So the DCP used its Ghost Phasing trick, still fairly new to the Cognatus. It involves turning the ship into a bubble of imaginary mass, making it out of sinc with normal matter and energy. Several Blade class battlecruisers charged in, the Cognatus's weapons fire went straight through without damage. Then, the Blade Classes re-synchronised once they were in the right positions of the battle, and hammered significant tactical positions in the Cognatus lines. Next, most of the DCP's ships charged in all guns blazing. The Cognatus formation was in dissaray. But then the Cognatus supercarriers flew in, and were more comparable to the DCP's ships. The real battle had begun...

Meanwhile, on the surface of a nearby planet, the Cognatus unleashed a nasty weapon - a quantum resonance charge. These weapons, although rare, can pierce straight through shields, which can't adapt well to them. The turret was aiming at Titanozor's flagship. It destroyed its aft shields, and caused minor damage, but no casualties. But this attracted the attention of a cognatus supercarrier. Fortunately, Titanozor rerouted shields just in time, and the hull repared itself. Titanozor decided it was time to invade the surface, however, teleportion was disrupted. Shuttles and bombers descended instead, the flagship extending its shields a bit to protect their descent.

Titanozor and his troops, ground artillary and bombers engaged the Cognatus. At first they sent hordes of screaming monkey-like creatures, who commited suicide by carrying bombs in kamakazi-style attacks. The Naquam, the most hostile of the Cognatus, all attacked Titanozor, as if he was a prize to be slain. But Titanozor crushed them all, easily. Eventually, he and some of his troops reached the resonance charge turret, but discovered that if he destroyed the turret, it was set off an explosion. So he instead destroyed the generators. In space, Captain Jazzaroth finished off the Cognatus, and re-established teleportion. A base was soon beamed down to the surface, a temporary one. From this short-term colony, Hyperspace missiles and torpedo spheres were lauched soon after. The spheres disrupted the Cognatus fleet movements within their own space, but the hyperspace missiles destroyed a few of their colonies!

It is also hoped that in the DCP's invasion, they will find out important infomation on the Cognatus alliance.

Cognatus revenge
The DCP managed to unleash quite a few of their hyperspace missiles and torpedo spheres, but in the end, the Cognatus unleashed their own weapon, one capable of wrecking entire systems. Some of the DCP's invasion fleet was also destroyed, but much of it escaped. But without their foothold, the DCP will have to resort to hit an run tactics, as their invasion fleet wasn't huge in the first place (it would have been, but most of it is fighting the Xhodocto). But, they had proven, the Cognatus were still vunerable in places. Hopefully though, the DCP will find some useful infomation about them, and this has become their primary objective, along with distracting the Cognatus from the URC and Rambo...
