Introduction

Hey everyone! The Intergalactic War is coming to a close, however its last battle will be one of the largest in the history of the First Gigaquadrant. After the battle of Scorpia (in the same system as Caprica), the Cognatus learned of the location of the URCs homeworlds, the Twelve Colonies, and have been amassing a huge fleet to destroy the Republic once and for all.

Luckily the High Command of the URNC learned of this and began to mass the largest fleet in Cyrannus history to defend the Capital System, the Rambo and the Coalition also sent a large amount of ships.

Then the day came when the Cognatus invaded the capital in its full force. I was hoping that both Wormulon and dinoman82 may be interested in making an adventure series about the battle in which allied casualties are extreme, the Cognatus also are experiencing heavy losses though no where near the scale of the allies, however I had an idea, about any empire that is willing to join in the battle is welcome, as long as it helps with me and dinoman82s plot.

Your empire can fight on or above any one of these worlds that the Cognatus will be invading.

Rules

I would like to express my concern over the following issues that I really don't want to see in the battle.

  • Most important rule! Do not make the Cognatus seem weak, out of all the empires that are fighting them only the DCP have a technological advantage. Keep that in mind please. I, and I am sure other people as well are sick of there empire being made weak by contributers.
  • If the Cognatus have speaking roles in your adventure, please remember that they speak rather well in terms of use of long words etc. Do not confuse the syntax.
  • Please inform me, before making a new Cognatus character.
  • Have fun!

Participants

Day One

Skirmish on Libran

Skirmish on Libran

URC Marines and Cognatus warriors clash on Libran

On the colony of Libran, the rulers of the most important nations in the war meet for an emergency meeting. However the Cognatus armada approaches!

Admiral Cretacea was sent to guard the leaders of the nations from harm, however he grew worried about their safety. Scorpia was successfully destroyed by a fleet of only one hundred ships, how would the rest of the colonies fare against an even larger fleet. Attending the meeting was President Apollo, Empress Ramashe, Emperor Wormulon, Hierarch Kroc, Admiral Shaw, Warlord Kilnok, Captain Rambas II and Captain Votarah. After the meeting was completed, Shaw informed Cretacea, of a huge Cognatus fleet numbering in the tens of thousands just jumped into the system.

Cretacea swiftly escorted the leaders to Apollo's official flagship, Colonial One just as ten Cognatus troops landed. Cretacea with the help of his marines defeated the invaders but over seven of his men died. Cretacea was then beamed up to the CSS Pegasus in orbit, just as the allies and the Cognatus began to clash.

Battle over Libran

Battle1n

The CSS Pegasus engaging a CCS Battlecrusier.

When Cretacea got into orbit, the Pegasus was immediately attacked by the Cognatus, a lone CCS Battlecruiser. Although the Battlecruser was more advanced, the Pegasus had a stronger hull and eventually beat the Cognatus ship back and destroyed it.

However this was but one in a fleet of thousands...

Escaping Libran

Escaping Libran

Escaping Libran!

For the Rambo, the attack on Libran meant a disaster. Captain Rambas II had to evacuate the Rambo stationed there, and due to the stubberness of Ramashe (she wanted to aid in the evacuation) she got badly injured during that process and had to be brought to the sickbay of the USS Caprica. Noticing this, the Cognatus began pounding there attack on the USS Caprica and many other Rambo ships of the FoR came to her aid.

While a Constitution Class V2 and a Kelvin Class V2 got damaged, the USS Caprica also took quite some damage, but together they managed to cripple the cognatus battle cruisers. Faced with a heavy disicion, Rambas headed for Caprica, since it became under siege. Now he hoped the Empress, Ramashe whom he honored so much, would survive this battle. On the ohter side, he could not escape the URC Capitol, it almost seemed the Cognatus pushed the Rambo forces to Caprica, to face them in the final battle of the Intergalactic War.

The Battle Continues

Siege on Oldale

Oldale bombarded

The City of Oldale suffers from orbital bombartments

Oldale, a small city on Caprica was the first to fall victim to the Cognatus Alliance. A familair face to the Rambo, Ultra Rtas'Shagili, second in command of the Shadow of Liberty was the first to attack a URC city. With the Shadow of Liberty dropping out of space it immediatly headed for Oldale. The Shadow of Liberty began bombarding Oldale, but Rambo intervention was near.

As a Capricornian Judge and various marines managed to hold off the Cognatus for a while, Captain Rambas II of the USS Caprica arrived at the outskirts of the city and he arrived with Argo Jeeps and soldiers. They soon ventured to the city and the URC, Rambo and Cognatus forces clashed. As the URC and Rambo were getting the upper hand, they faced Ultra Rtas'Shagili himself. He simply laughed, claiming they took the bait and immediatly many Cognati reinforcements arrived.

Now cornered and in peril, will the Congatus reach Rambas II and take over the bridge to the main land?

Quarter glassing of Canceron

The next world, Canceron, would be the next target for destruction. About 500,000 Cognatus battleships jumped into the system, to be met by an allied fleet of 250,000 warships, comprised of the URC, DCP, CoreFed and Kalazori. However, the immense fleet wasn't noticed until it was merely light minutes from its destination. Fleets were immediately scrambled, and troops waiyted at their posts. The young Capricornian Morobus, was one of the last to get ready, but he decided this time, he would prove himself.

He ran down to the space elevator, and went to the surface, where he met with an allied force. There was Warlord Kilnok, Krekak and Admiral Horlin, along with a URC Judge. In space, the Cognatus broke through the allied lines and cities/industrial regions of the planet had shields placed over them. But soon, Ion cannon bursts disabled the sheilds and the Cognatus armies landed, mostly comprised of the proud Cognati. Battles raged across the surface and in space, thousand of more allies streamed in. But the Cognatus wanted to glass the surface. They found that they could not reach the cities, so they sent down the armies to detonate nuclear explosives.

At the battle of the city of Anaquon, Warlord Kilnok, Morobus and others fought for the city, dead bodies falling the sky, firestorms raging across the planet. The smell of burning was everywhere, reminiscent of the War of Ages (without the demonic stench). Eventually the alliued armies managed to push back the Cognati warriors, powerful though they were. When the last Cognati minor was struck dead, there was the Martyr, who had yet to be killed. He was charging the bomb.

Morobus himself decided it was his job to kill the Martyr, and asked Warlord Kilnok to step aside. After a ferocious duel, Morobus was pushed to the floor. The Cognati declared how weak Morobus was, but in his ignorance, Morobus lashed out with new found energy. The Martyr fell, but as he did, he switched on the bomb. You will be going with me!

Warlord Kilnok stepped in (there was still civilians in the city). The nearest DCP ship didn't have the capacity in its cargo hold to beam out everyone. The bomb had a shell of Kiocene, which meant it would only be stable enough to handle one beam out. The warlord ordered the nrearest ship to teleport the bomb. It would be a sacrifice, however, the crew aboard were honoured to die in blazing glory.

But a minute later, the Cognatus did break though. The Cognatus managed to glass key cities on the planet. Kilnok warned everyone to play dead, the cognatus would assume they would be, and it worked, they survived. Meanwhile, however, a quarter of Canceron had been glassed, nearly all settlements and orbital ship yards were destroyed and firestorms burned its ecosystems away. Later though, the URC fired a subspace burst, which stopped the Cognatus reinforcements, while nearly DCP ships involved in the Intergalactic war reached the center of URC space. Canceron and surrounding systems were retaken, but by then, much of them was eliminated. The DCP ships then headed to Caprica...

Siege of Aerilon

Aerilon was an important agriworld of the URC, however, because it was an agriworld, and not an industrial or military planet, it had been the least defended.

However, over 50,000 ships, comprised of Fex, URC and some DCP made a stand, but eventually, The Cognatus overwhelmed their forces. After a terrible battle, the allies were on the reteat. The Fex, who were extreme pacifists, in the end resorted to firing flowers and fireworks believing the Cognatus would stop killing despite the DCP warning not to, but the Cognatus just laughed. They then offered the Cognatus sporebucks, but the Cognatus didn't even reply, why would they take the "heretics" money? The "heretics" had nothing that they wanted. Nearly all the Fex were killed.

However, there were many URC and DCP on the ground, and thanks to enough turrets, the Cognatus glass cannons were kept at bay, so the Cognatus had to beam down reinforcements. After a day of ground battles, there was great losses on both sides, until...

The Cognatus had detected 5 starships of an unknown class heading towards the battlefield, they were large, even for URC ships at over 6000 meters in length, however, they were quite Capricornian in design, and had a crew composed mostly URC and some of the DCP. The Cognatus ships are easily more powerful than most URC ships, so the Cognatus assumed that the new ships were not a threat. They couldn't have been more wrong. The starships, were Centaur class, a hybrid of URC and DCP technology, crew and construction. However, it had the firepower and weapons usually the DCP carry. After another large battle, the Cognatus were forced to retreat, taken a back how the URC had advanced so quickly. This allowed smaller URC ships from the surface to go into orbit. The Cognatus were then cut off, and blasted away.

But despite the allied victory, the Fex had taken heavy losses, and unknown to the allies, the Cognatus had left a bioweapon, which detonated and poisoned a large portion of Aerilon's fertile plains, meaning that the areas effected would never grow crops again for thousands of years.

Space battle intensifies

Rambo ships defeated

Rambas onboard the USS Caprica watches an awefull sight.

As the Cognatus were batteling all over Caprica System, the Cognatus pressure and grib became tighter and stronger. The large and powerfull Congatus Battlecruisers smashed through the ranks of the URC and Rambo Forces near Caprica. However, hope was not lost as 15 Forrestal Class ships arrived with figthers, together with various Legacy Class ships of the URC they aided the Rambo and URC forces that were in trouble. Rambas was worried, he escaped the Ultra's counter attack but now found himself once again in trouble. Although he was happy to learn of that Ramashe was send back to Rambo Command and had arrived safely. While evaiding a Cognatus ship he witnessed an awefull sight, the USS Glorious, a Miranda Class V2 was being destroyed by a Cognatus cruiser, while URC and Rambo Fighters were assaulting her, it did not matter and the Glorious exploded, taking all hands and a good friend of Rambas, the Captain of the USS Glorious had fought with him since the beginning of his time in the Fleet of Retribution.

While changing course he saw the USS Valiant, a Constitution Class V2 taking critical damage and Rambas wondered, how long were they ablle to preven the inevitable. The Cognatus were on the winning hand!

Battle of Tauron

This is also an adventure of the same name by jameses, my Spore account.

Tauron seemed a likely place for the Cognatus to attack next. It held some of the largest corporations in the Capital Sytem, and the Elliontics and the URC weren't about to let the Cognatus get their hands on it. A powerful fleet punched their way through the space defenses of Tauron and set up a small field base opposite the base the URC and Elliontic base that was already there. The Elliontics had set up a weak short-range missile to destroy any enemy forces, but the Cognatus attacked when they were unprepared and nearly destroyed the missile. Fortunately, URC and Elliontic forces managed to repel the Cognatus force and launch the missile. However, soon after the missile was launched, a single Crusade ship attacked the ground forces, and destroyed nearly every ship on the ground. Admiral Salrah, the leader of the Elliontic Cyrannus fleet, boarded the Crusade class and destroyed it, but not before much of Tauron was glassed.

Battle of Caprica

For the URC, this day had been apocalyptic, many cities, towns and people have been destroyed. The colonies of Aerilon, Aquaria, Canceron, Caprica, Gemenon, Leonis, Libran, Picon, Sagittaron, Scorpio, Tauron, and Virgon are in full siege. The final events of the war are about to begin...

From his hidden bunker, Apollo was safe (He wanted to fight, but Ramashe wanted him to remain safe) commanding the forces of the Allies, in space, the DCP ships were taking heavy causalities, and yet were doing a marvelous job protecting Caprica, all this was about to change when literally all of the Cognatus ships went to ground directly over the surface of Caprica, the appeared to be searching for something, the Caprican Defense Fleet was called on to attack the Cognatus position over a desert region on the planet, it was then that the enemy started to dig...
