Introduction
The Galaxy is at war. All the creatures from all worlds fight over who will take victory. Victory means control of the Galaxy. Defeat means being conquered, or worse. All across the galaxy, scientists design new weapons, and soldiers fight in die in the name of whatever their fighting for. You are a solider in that war; whether you are a general, a pilot, or one of those on the front lines, you are a solider, fighting for your species in an endless war for control of the Galaxy. Will you win a victory for your species? Will you succeed in your mission? Will you be remembered throughout history for your victories? Only you can answer these questions.
--
The Star System of Omega: a highly contested zone which all the species fight for control over. With over a hundred stars with over ten thousand planets, whoever takes this system will have the advantage in the war, and could quite possibly lead their species to victory.
--
If you make your own Species, please provide a good description. Here is an example:
The Solarz Republic, a young democratic empire, consists of twenty five systems, all populated by the Solarz; humanoid, scaly creatures. The average Solarz male stands at 6'5, while the average female stands at 6'7. The back of their heads are pointed, their faces reptilian-like. Their hands consist of three claws, with one of the claws on the side on the hand to allow for gripping. Their shoulders are far-apart, and their bodies are slender. They have five talons on their feet, and a set of wings on their back to allow for flight.
Their society is an extremely egalitarian one, with all people being equals in terms of social rights. Citizens are taught to value their rights. The best way to describe their government would be a Democratic Regulated Capitalist Society. The Armed Forces take only volunteers, men and women dedicated to fighting for the Republic. They fight in this war with the overall goal of bringing freedom and democracy to all the oppressed species in the Galaxy, by any means necessary. They are technologically advanced, and place a high value on honor in the battlefield.
The Solarz Army ride into battle wearing full-body flak suits, designed to fit on their bodies perfectly and protect from shrapnel, and over their torso is sloped armor designed to be resistant to both energy and conventional weapons. The basic infantry solider charges in first, equipped with a fully automatic laser weapon designed to suppress enemies.
The heavy infantry flanks the suppressed enemy and hits them with devastating plasma rounds.
The air trooper is more armored than the typical solider, instead equipped with powered armor that enhances their strength and flying abilities; they fly and rain down death with either anti-armor weapons or conventional rounds.
Besides these, the Republic has a massive diversity in it's army, and generally favors a small well-trained and well-equipped force over raw numbers. It's special force, The Rangers, are a group of elite snipers designed to eliminate enemy officers and launch assaults on key positions behind enemy lines.
In terms of armor, they have the Republic Tank, a lighly armored transport designed for flanking and suppressing infantry,
The Juggernaut, a Heavy Tank designed to crush enemy armor,
and the Flying Transport, a heavily armored flying transport that makes sure Solarz troops arrive safely. Every army is lead by a Commander, who either sits back and commands his troops, or leads from the front.

"Why are you running?"
"Wounded, Sir."
"Then continue on, Solider."
As soon as he finished this statement, a laser hit the solider in the head, killing him. Solom felt guilt in stopping the solider, and quickly focused his free gun on the general direction the shot came from. Solom continued his pace, with the rest of his men firing from cover. He stood in the middle of the battlefield, and held out his arm. The robotic arm was simply a a large piece of armor wrapped around a .50 caliber mini-gun, so only the barrels were visible, with three pieces of metal coming out the sides and meeting in the middle, which he could open to fire his mini-gun, and close to grip onto things. He held out his armed, opened his hand, and shouted, in a loud booming voice,
"Charge! Attack them!"
The Heavy Weapons Squad quickly began to open fire on the enemy positions, to suppress them, while the light infantry charged and the aerial troopers began their assault. The Juggernaut tanks began their approach, while five of them gathered around Solom, and together they began moving towards their target.
They were facing against the Imperium of Man, on the planet of Yaoulore. Solom was hardly deployed there for a few days before combat began. This charge was only a distraction, an attempt to get the enemy to focus on them, while the light Republic tanks, equipped with anti-infantry weapons ranging from flamethrowers to heavy machine guns, went around to hit them in the rear. Solom had already ordered the rear assault group to begin movement and maintain radio silence. If all went well, this would be a quick victory, but Solom had a feeling this would not go well...

He tapped the screen zooming in on the enemy commander. It was strange for the Xeno to have the courage to openly show themselves on the battle and he thought it was completely stupid having been in that same position numerous times before. He tapped his Vox (communications device) in his ear and ordered the Valkyries to take flight. They would be launching a missile strafing run on all the enemy heavy weapons as well as dropping off squads of storms troopers into the fray in the midst of the enemy ranks.
He contiuned to watch the screen for any changes, but for the most part the enemies fates were sealed. He turned his head and ordered that 4th platoon and their chimeras go and reinforce the right position as well as bring in some heavy weapon teams with some Heavy Bolters to return heavy fire after the Valkyries had finished with their mission. The Valkyries made excelent drop ships since they did not have to slow or stop to drop of their cargo of elite Storm Troopers.

"Sir, we have detected several airships launched. They appear to be heading in our direction"
An infantry solider contacted him, warning him of the snipers.
"Oi, we are taking losses from sniper fire"
"Air Troopers, Focus fire on the Airships. Send a Ranger Unit to eliminate those snipers."
And so they did. The Aerial Troops focused their Plasma based weaponry on the enemy planes, and Solom began to fire his missile launcher and guns when they came into his view. A unit of Rangers, the Republic's snipers and counter-snipers, was sent to hunt down enemy snipers. The Rangers were lightly armored, but equipped with camouflage that automatically blended in with its surroundings. They gathered what they knew from the direction of the shots that killed their soldiers, and began to search for them.

The sneak attack group was moving closer to the enemy rear, carefully hiding itself from enemy detection.

He could see the new lights of the Storm Troopers come into view, they were far better armed and armored than Guardsmen. Their Hotshot lasguns fired high-powered lasers at high rates much like a laser machine gun. He tapped his vox-bead "Platoon 2, 3, 4. push forth. platoon 1 you are rear guard with the Leman Russ. 5th platoon remain in the far rear with me." He could see the dots of his forces surging forth pushing the enemy back with numbers. The leman Russes would be deployed soon to deal with what armor was left after the Valkyries assault as they were heavy tanks used to destroy other vehicles primarily.

Solom heard reports from the his infantry of the Storm Trooper assault.
"Sir, we are being attacked by heavily armed and armored troops dropped from the airships, requesting reinforc-"
The Commlink turned to static.
Thinking quickly, Solom ordered his aerial troopers to strike at the Storm Troopers from above.
"Assist the ground troops, Flyers!"
As he gave the order, Solom barely managed to evade a bolter round from a Leman Russ. Solom quickly ordered the Juggernauts to attack the tanks, while he let his sword come out of his wrist, and quickly began to move. He used his mech's powerful legs to begin running at very high speeds, slicing at the tanks from the side while firing his plasma cannon at others.

The Rear Assault Group reached their target, and began firing at the enemy from the rear.

He checked the situation with the Valkyries, but they still needed to reload and where almost done. "Valkyries once reloaded preform strafing run on their rear. I want them cut off. There will be no retreat for the Xenos, this day they die. For the Imperium of Man!"
He left the command tent walking with a erect posture over to the Chimeras were 5th platoon were waiting. He stood before them. "Victory is at hand, the Xenos have been split in half in an attempt to outmaneuver us, but now they are splintered." he doubted any of the rank and file knew what he meant but it sounded good so it improved their moral. "You all know how much I detest staying behind, so I figured I could at least catch up on some Xenos Killing with you." Lies of course, he'd much rather be in that tent but he had his reputation to uphold."
The platoon boarded the Chimeras and they sped off towards the fight. Once there the chimeras opened up on the light vehicles of the Xenos with laser firing as they deployed the squads within. Cain jogged out with a squad, Sergeant Griffins he believed a fine sergeant with a level head which meant he wouldnt charge off and get Cain killed. Cain drew his blade and pistol although it was more for dramatic effect. "Lieutenant Sulla bring up the Lascannons, I want those Light vehicles cut to smithereens."
Almost as if the Lieutenant already anticipated this call teams of 3 guardsmen were running closer with very large weapons hauled by two of the three. A lascannon was the heavy anti-tank gun of the Imperium able to cut most armor to shreds. The teams deployed their large lascannos and opened fire the sound of Ionizing air swam through the air, closely followed by the burnt flesh of Xenos.

"Chimeras move into to position alpha B. I want Heavy las fire on their advancing light infantry. Lascannons set up in Formation z, I want crossfire on those light vehicles. Platoons 2,3,4 Attach bayonets and prepare to deal with the light infantry advancing. 1st platoon cover the Lascannons with auto fire. Leman russ's I want you to concentrate your fire on their heavy tanks, take them out one at a time: Concentrate your fire. 5th platoon your with me, we advance on their flank."
At his words he started jogging Griffins team breaking up into 2 fire teams going from one large 10 squad to two 5 man squads. A enemy squad of light infantry charged they were running so their fire was sporadic to say the least. The fire teams dropped to their knees and took aim before unloading on the enemy. Cain jumped behind a boulder for cover as he took shoots over the boulder at enemies. The sounds of ballistic fire and ionizing air drowning out the world around him.

"Sir, they've cut off any land route in or out."
"Ai. We can call in reinforcements from the air. But we don't need to for now."
Infantry squads took losses from enemy fire, but many made it to begin close combat with the soliders. They had bayonets on their rifles, and one-handed swords they can easily pull out in close combat. The soliders slashed and stabbed at enemy soliders.
The Juggernauts took losses from the Leman Russs, and began to focus fire on them, while the Republic Tanks continued to fire on enemy infantry. Aerial troopers continued to fire at the enemy lascannons from the air.
Solom crushed a guardsman under his foot, and he saw the two squads by the boulder killing his men. With this, he went into a rush of anger, and quickly charged at the two squads.

The Storm Troopers contiuned to hound what heavy infantry they had left with their superiors weaponry as they were one of the few infantry in the Imperium that had decent equipment besides the Black Watch and Black Templars but they never showed up unless it was of utmost importance. The enemy tanks finally realized the real threat was in the Leman Russ Main Battle Tanks, but it was too little too late. The superior numbers of the Lemans would carry the day as they had managed to destroy a number.
He attention was turned to the sound of metal crushing dirt and he was confronted with a very large metal mech running at them, and he pointed his blade at the charging machine. "Men, Krak grenades on that target. Lascannon team 3 fire on my position. I want that metal machine turned to scrap." Of course the concept of fighting a mech was horrifying, but it did not show on his face.

Then suddenly a bullet buried in one head the remaining two turned looking to groups of humans "You challenge the hive? Be converted of your evil ways, we will bless you to our side." The humans were covered in a swarm of Aiwyn they did try to shoot but soon fell screaming to the ground from agony then later they slowly raised to their feet joining the now horrid battle, full of zombies that came in a horde from every side "Sorry for the interruption, please come with us to meet the hive mind." The two were trying to think how to get the giant mech to the ship, there wings made a low buzz. Orid sat down a little tired it was pretty hard to let someone send a message "Now just wait for my visitor."

"5th platoon go to chimeras and grab flamethrowers, you will hold the bugs off until we can retreat. There is a new combatant, and we need to be prepared. 1st platoon fall back with me. We will prep the chimeras for lift. Chimera and leman Russ, keep heavy fire on those Solarz I want their heads to stay down."
The mech had gotten close, way to close to comfort, but some bug like people came down to speak to him, and he cared not that meant he could get the hell out of there. He turned on his heel and legged it with Griffin squad. The battle was over, he would not risk all his forces, and human shields in one gamble, sometimes it was best to retreat now and have victory tomorrow. The poor Solarz however would not be able to retreat as fast as they would have to air drop out, they would suffer heavy losses from the bugs which was good for Cain.

Kashir landed in front of the human commander "I come to bring you to my leader please come with me." Orid sat down his head was bouncing from the effort, he picked a piece of fruit from the table and take a bite he never liked how the Aiwyn watched him eat there small eyes were so observing and fascinated.

Cain nodded "5th platoon slowly retreat towards the chimeras, do not show your back to the enemy." He contiuned on his jog before boarding a chimera. "Chimeras, Leman Russ roll out. Return to base camp."

"Troops, await transport. Hold the line there."
Heavy weapons teams and light infantry all gathered around the spot, the blocked off path at their backs, ready to fire on the insects, while the Flying Transports began to fly towards them. Solom began to carve his way to the extraction point. The Tanks would use their flamethrowers on the bugs and zombies, and begin to carve a path through the swarm to allow for a full retreat.
