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
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
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!
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.
