OOC: This is to Conumbra, based on something I posted in the last thread, and so Law's thread isn't bogged down

The shuttles disabled by the massive burst of EMP. "Sir, half the recon squad... its gone!"

"No matter, we've got them on the run!" the commander, an older looking main in charge of the New Macross clas ship said, "Keep rushing them, we have nearly got this down!"

The shuttles FTL drives were stopped by the now deactivated space mines, while the fighters simply chased after the other the other ships, using their small size and advanced mobility to follow the Veroose to their home world. Food and water were no need for for the vessels, who had all the time in the galaxy. It was over for them, but the small snub fighters were simply on a a mission, to simply track down the Veroose home world. That was a matter for another log... OOC: Making a new thread because it is starting to go off topic


Fighter Squadron: Location: Unknown, one jump away from battle in Phageous system.

"Jump complete. Fold drives are normal... Enemy ships are jumping away! All units broadcast via database! We may have them yet!"

With that, the fighters called the fleet Kedora, a group of warships meant to destroy the Veerose once and for all.

"We are Kedora," the AI said, "A weapon created by Trantor to Destroy and Defend Trantor's Core. We are all searching. Kedora will hunt down its targets..."

Kedora was an unusual group, having its own mobile factory with it to boost its numbers. It needed long supply lines or a constant supply of asteroids, and that was a clear weakness. It folded to the location given it to by fighters, now vacant of Veerose ships. "Targets are less than one jump away. Kedora base will harvest and be mobile op command. Trantor ships will jump as soon as we are ready.

It was a madhouse of an area, ships preparing for battle, some station under quick construction, asterioids being hollowed out, Marines training. Kedora was pleased. "I will destroy, destroy, destroy the enemy's base.." it said, "Destroy, consume, replicte.."

As the fighters landed one of the pilot's said to his commanding officer "Sir Trantor will be arriving within the hour. We need to speed production on newly completed ships and send all ships that are ready into space right away." His commanding officer then told him "All right I will give the order" He then turned towards a transmitter and issued the order "All completed vessels go into Helior's space immediately. Scramble the commandos" The commandos were three specially bred super soldiers, each worth about twenty normal soldiers. Each of them was the result of a special program that opted to give normal soldiers a higher than average dose of Phoze per day then the normal soldier as they were growing up. Most didn't survive the program but the three who did each gained unique abilities and powerful.

The First commando is Freasin Lore a Veroose who can generate and manipulate ice. The second one is Ilumiya a Veroose whose shapeshifting abilities have been greatly augmented, allowing her to replicate machines and the weapons her enemies use. Next is Oron a Veroose who's body has the ability to naturally generate Phoze which is then pumped into the suit he wears to enhance his weapons, making them twice as powerful as they normally would be.

The captain then gave out a special order for Freasin Lore "I want you to go back to Phageous and observe the battle on that planet. Whoever wins you approach as a representative of the Veroose government. All right?" Freasin then went inside his ship and headed off to Phageous to observe the battle.

The captain then continued to speak into the transmitter "Are the orbital cloaked mines in position?" The person on the other end responded "Yes sir" The captain responded with "Good, good." The cloaked orbital mines were cloaked and made to appear as if they were asteroids to fool the enemy into thinking they were harmless. The reason the Veroose had set up all of this was to prepare for an attack on this scale. Unfortunately the completed ships consisted of only one capital ship, 4 frigates and around 40 fighters all of the Claw class. On the ground the cloaked Stalker-class battle robots stood ready. Originally the Stalkers were designed to have shields inside their frames but it was decided that they would be equipped with cloaking generators instead. As all of this was occurring the military was making sure that all of the civilians were in underground bunkers that would be safe if the Veroose decided to glass the entire planet. Veroose was ready.

Unlike the cowardly mines which the ships found before, Kedora would not fall for the same trick twice. It sent out a fleet of long term ships, small ships little more than large containers and engines to enter the farthest possible orbit of Veerose’s star. Finding little resistance, they dumped their cargo, watching it travel faster, and faster. In 2 days when it did hit the mines, it would destroy them thanks to the raw energy from the speed of the sand attack.

Another object Inside the cargo boxes were small craft, preparing to land. They would be easy pickings for any ship, however there were several hundred thousand of the beach ball sized craft, hidden with the sand, heading towards the world. Follwing this were various loads of medium sized objects, the size of cars, and at the highest end, objects the size of Express trains followed them, It was a rain of machines, and a race to see if the Veroose could shoot them down before they landed.

Following the two da long wait, the fleet warped into the system, the 60 ships all ready for total and utter devastation. Recently from the Azerian front, these 15 ships, 3 New Macrossclass ships, 6 Galaxy class ships, 4 Intrepid Class starships and 2 older Excelsior class vessels arrived on Kedora’s command, the ships firing their weapons at any targets sighted. The longer ranged phased energy cannons and the short range Macross cannons covered many vectors, while VF-25s, VF-14s and VF-171s all flew into space, preparing to intercept the small group of 60 fighters.

This was just one group, intended to guage the defender’s reflexes while the 45 other ships, loaded with large weapons and automated machinery were to “see if the planet could be taken, if not, kill every life form on it.” There were no organics in this group but for a few cyborg marines, due to the lessons learned from the Infiltration attempts upon the Megroad those weeks ago.

The 45 ships jumped to space equal to that of Pluto, spreading out as they prepared to surround the world, and if need be, melt the large ice caps, causing a cataclysm of which no bunker could hide from. The raw pressure which would be released upon the melting of the ice would cause the planet to rise by a foot at the least, which would at the least, damage any underground shelters. The Tsunami as well as the insane weather would be another whole bag of beans.

The 45 drew closer, as Kedora worked on command and control ops, working on 2 small craft to impact the world directly, suicidal weapons for little reason but to spread small scale robots to invade the planet. A perverse version of Panspermia, as it was.

Trantor OOB

3 New Macross Class Battleships
6 Galaxy Class Escort Battleships
4 Intrepid Class Destroyers
2 Excelsior class Cruisers

15 ships Group 1

Group 2

2 Massive Transport class ships

Group 3-6 : assorted fleet assets totaling 45 capital ships and various support vessels

As the planet prepared for invasion Veroose had managed to get the first ship of their newest class out into space. It had been almost completed by the first ship of the Grace-class left orbit and ventured up with the main fleet. A couple of days ago some advance ships from the Kedora fleet had dumped some sand at the farthest edge of the system. The sand was on its way to trigger the mines but that was not what Helior had focused on. Scanners directed at the sand displayed hundreds of thousands of objects. They varied from the size of a beach ball to the size of an express train. The objects gave signs of electrical usage so the ships had started shooting at the objects. They had destroyed all of the large objects. Now they were furiously firing away at any objects that got within the ship's guns. In fact they were well on their way to eliminating all of the medium objects. In the two days until the ships had arrived the Veroose had managed to finish production on two more Unpredictable Class frigates.

The Grace-class ship -nicknamed Last Stand by its builders- went and flew off in front of the ships. It managed to fly into the middle swarm, its shields holding at the onslaught and had deposited 2 sonic charges inside the sand swarm of robots. It had then flown out and the sonic charges detonated. The Last Stand had placed the charges far enough apart so that the explosions did not overlap because then it would cause less damage. It seemed that the charges had managed to destroy the rest of the robots that had not been destroyed by the furious firing of the capital ships, fighters and frigates. Unfortunately just as it seemed they would get a break, scanners detected a scout fleet heading towards Veroose.

It seemed that with the Eternal Hope on their side and its seismic charges the fighters could be dealt with. The problem was with the bigger ships. He had no doubt that the fighters and frigates could dodge the weapons of the saucer looking ships, the problem lay with the lone capital ship. It would get decimated when the larger ships attacked it. Although the captain realized he had solution to that problem. He could use bombers. All capital ships were filled with bombers before they were put into service. These bombers were of the Rapier-Class. They could take some of the punch out of those larger vessels. Each capital ship of the Blockade Class was equipped with a station of 30 bombers. As well each commando was equipped with their own personal ships.

Ilumiya's ship was a heavily modified Claw class fighter. Her vehicle was equipped with communications jammers that disrupted an enemies communications to his superior and even managed to cut any links between communicating AI units. It was intended to cause as much chaos among the enemy ranks as possible. Oron's ship was also a heavily modified Claw-class fighter equipped with a saboteur robot launcher. The saboteur robots were usually deployed after a hole in a capital ship's shield was made so that they could cause as much havoc as possible. Veroose did have one last strategy up their sleeve if all of this failed but it was only a last-ditch attempt. The capital ship and the frigates went cloaked in preparation for the great battle.

So the Veroose were equipped with

1 Blockade Class Capital ship
6 Unpredictable Class Frigates
40 Claw Class Fighters
30 Rapier-Class bombers
Ilumiya's Claw-class fighter
Oron's claw-class fighter

Kedora was displeased, but its plan had worked. The mines were deactivated, and with that, the 45 other ships warped in, the group of vessels lead by the largest command ship, a 70 mile long Exelion class battleship. Inside, the massive ship had 40 Super type VF-25 Variable Fighters, and to counter the cloaked ships, they had 60 Recon type VF-24 Variable Fighters launching, their large sensor domes scanning for the gravity wakes that even a cloaked ship would have. With the com disrupters active, they would use laser transmissions to send information, as well as sending small customized AIF-7 Ghost drones as Currier craft, the tiny fighters rushing in and out between ships, transmitting data via point blank range microwave and wire transmission.

There were more craft launching from the massive command ship, as 100 VF-11s launched, then finally, the main mechs came out, the machines heading for the planet proper. Drop ships full of robotic combat troopers, and several Motoko types launched from the main ship, the rain of units like a perverse seeder, dropping its cargo onto the planet's surface. This was all the work of one single ship alone.

The original 15 machines had their own cargo, their wings of VF-25s, and VF-17s heading to intercept the bombers. The more advanced VF-25s would fire reaction weapons and chainguns at the bombers, while the VF-17s stood to defend the ships from cloaked fighters. One of the Intrepid class ships fired a wave of phased energy cannons upon the Interdictor class ship, while a New Macross class ship transformed, preparing to punch the ship in its hull again. This time, it would be backed up by another New Macross class ship, this one putting its barrier over the two ships, spreading it to cover its partner. The remaining Intrepid class ships played backup, firing phased shots and long range missiles at the Interdictor's hull, to help weaken its defenses.

The Excelsiors wanted blood, however, and they fired a full volley at the Last Stand, the twin fire hopefully overwelming the ship's shields. They were the mid guard, between the forward assault division and the main fleet, which would drop their cargo onto the world proper. With their bubble shields at power, they were going to take this battle to the heart of the cloaked fleet.

The other Galaxy class ships fired a full on wave of wide beam phaser shots, attempting to hit the cloaked ships where they might be hiding. It would take some time for the RVF forces to gain successful telemetry on the cloaked ships, so all firing was done by using good old fashioned mathematical laws. One of the 45 ships was a large cruiser, with massive armor on its forward section. It did little more than accelerate, preparing to impact the surface of a planet. Two more of this class, prepared to do the same, then three, then four... In total there were 10 ships entering the atmosphere, preparing to crash into the large points of ice. Inside, the reactors were set to overload, the fusion reactions already reaching the point of critical mass. To compare it to a star, the reactor was about to simulate a small nova event, or more likely, a stellar event in which a star ejects its outer layers, becoming a white dwarf.

The 35 ships left launched their fighters and mechs, preparing to cover the Originals and the drop objects. Operation: Overdevil was on its way.

Kedora was smiling, as much as an AI command factory could smile. It had two days to work on more ships, as it finished a fighter carrier, little more than a large frame and a Fold Drive, and it placed fighters aboard them. This was sent into fold, the large vessel defolding above the planets' south Pole. The fighters flew off before the frame fell apart, as the units all prepared to dive, their cargo of large Reacton and Atomic missiles tucked below them. Kedora wanted more backup for its Overdevil operation, as it sent the few other fighter carriers, at the North pole region. The planet seemed a target for many units, who all wanted to complete their final mission.

As the Last Stand got buffeted by the full on assault, the pilot did one last-ditch effort to save the ship. He set the AI to constantly jump to randomly generated hyperspace coordinates. Unfortunately just as the ship was set to go into hyperspace, 2 shots from the Excelsior ships got through the shields and fried it's repulsor-brakes. This essentially meant that the ship was now eternally lost to the stars, wandering throughout the galaxy and constantly evading capture. As the battle was going on the ships would see a lone vessel head away from the battle.

Meanwhile on the ground the captain's sensors had picked up the Operation:Overdevil ships. He wasn't concerned with the back-up ships or the fighters. He was most concerned with the ramming ships. Sensors detected a huge reaction build-up in those ships. He immediately ordered an evacuation from the planet. When those ships collided into Helior, the result would be a huge flood the likes of which the planet had never seen. Unfortunately when the ramming ships got too close the evacuation had to begin then. The captain and only 2,000 of the original 4,000,000 inhabitants of Helior managed to get off the planet alive in assorted shuttles. The ships overhead were too busy to notice the ramming ships until it was too late. When they collided with the planet it turned almost all of the ice caps instantly into water which flooded the entire surface of the planet, changing the landscape in less than 2 hours.

Back in space the Interdictor class ship had been demolished and the frigates were heavily damaged. Oron and Ilumiya had managed to stay intact throughout the thickest of the fighting, Oron having launched swarms of saboteur robots all over the battlefield, tinkering and messing with any VF that happened to accidentally fly through them. Ilumiya having simply shot down at least 10 VF-11s herself while using her flying skills to dodge and weave through most of the combat. Although unfortunately her jamming devices had been destroyed in the battle, Most of the rapier-class ships had been shot down but the Claw-class ships were not completely without losses as around 2/3 of them had been destroyed, not by the larger capital ships but by the fighters.

But as the ships carrying civilians went into the outskirts of the battle (they were safe as transponders broadcasted their identification as civilians and refuges to all of the ships in the battle) the captain's ship opened up a line between him and the Trantor Exelion-class battleship and he said "I would like to negotiate the terms of our surrender with your leader. We are done fighting do you accept? We now see the foolishness of our ways. Please accept our surrender."

"Trantor accept your surrender," Kedora replied, as the FTL jammers finally activated, trapping the ships in the system. "Trantor will now list the terms of surrender," Kedora said, as on the outskirts of battle the core ships seemed to lock onto the civilian vessels. "Trantor demand your people shut down any and all weapons immediately, and any renaming solders surrender to Trantor forces, and please report to our main vessel.”

Kedora went on, " We demand your leaders come with us as part of the surrender agreement. Trantor demands all and any information about the substance known as ‘Phose’ be sent to us, and a general surrender of all records. Trantor demands your race's youngest members and members who are within breeding ages. Trantor also demands any and all information about your home world, your military, your industries, and everything your race knows be sent to us, in the same shuttle as the other data." Kedora went on, taking input from the Database.

“Trantor demands your race forever forsake war as a means of valid political action. We demand that your military be formally disbanded as of this moment. If you have any other military members out of this system who do not surrender, we demand they surrender or be declared Outlaws and Criminals. Trantor also demands full reparations for the cost of this military action, as well as money for the civilians and military personnel who died in your attack against our Megaroad.

Trantor Demands a permant base on your territory, where we will observe your race and ensure our terms are followed. Theses terms cannot be negotiated. People of Veerose.”

Kedora waited for a response, as Motoko Attenborough out in another location smiled, “Just as planned.” She said as her ship drew closer to the Meeting with the Federation

The captain chuckled a bit before saying "I can comply with most of those requirements but for a few things. 1 you do realize you flooded our entire planet so we as a species are now broke and cannot pay you back. Although the data on us and Phoze has been preserved thanks to an off world data bank on a moon orbiting the first planet of the system. 2 how exactly are we to protect and stand up for ourselves if someone else attacks us. But other than that sure. It will take a while to upload the data but our military forces will be over right away. Just give me a minute to converse with why top military members." He then closed communications with Trantor and opened communications with his two commandos. "Ilumiya, Oron I may have a way to get you two out of this..."

A few minutes the data had been transferred into the shuttle and everything was ready to be transferred to Trantor's main vessel. But then two Claw-class ships transferred their pilots into one of the civilian ships. Ilumiya and Oron had -shortly before all of the military was scheduled to be sent over to Trantor- been relieved of duty. The captain valued those under his command but he could not relieve everyone without being questioned by Trantor. But unfortunately because Oron and Ilumiya had been exposed to a larger amount of Phoze a side effect of that exposure was that it made them sterile. After they boarded the civilian vessels their ships were programmed to fly to Trantor's main ship. After the first two vessels flew off they were followed by the rest of th fighters and frigates.

At the end of the posse the ships with the captain, data and the 1,000 Veroose who were of breeding age. The captain had a feeling that Freasin wouldn't surrender. He was too proud of the species to do that. Although that was completely fine with the captain. As the captain looked through the stars on how far forward and how far backward they had came. He then sighed heavily before sitting back in his seat. Oron's suit was right behind him in pieces.

Kedora shighed, “Your surrender is accepted,” as several fighter craft surrounded the shuttle. Escorting it to another vessel. Fighters and mechs scanned the ship, searching for bombs and other weapons of mass destruction. In the meantime, a small craft headed towards the main fleet, the human sized machine, a Motoko Version Zero G, landed on the airlock, saying, “Well hello there.”

Kedora and Motoko Attenborough responded, “Your race will become a protected area, as per our Charter, you will now gain the rights of partial citizens. Over the years you will be converted to full Trantor Citizens. We are building a floating city for your people to live on, and we will defend you from now on. The Veerose space is now Trantor space from now on.

Already, aqua divers launched from the fleet, scanning the atmosphere for any signs of change. The tsunami had started to slow down, as the planet was slowly stabilizing. It would be a while before the oceans stopped, but Trantor had gained a new outpost for its space.

Kedora worked on the massive floating city, based on an old design from Terra, the massive factory briging parts together for its construction.

The 100 Veerose would be scanned and chipped when they were inside, tying them to Trantor, like normal citizens. It was odd to watch them go through the processing, DNA samples and abilities noted for the Database. Ryand was watching the datafeed., the man sighing. “Have I become him..” he said to no one, his partner on the job. “Have I truly become him..”

As the captain was flying the shuttle up to the main ship he opened up communications with the Kedora AI again and he began to speak "Some of my people have expressed interests in heading to other planets and starting up families there instead of constantly being reminded of their flooded planet. Most of my species has also expressed interest in heading to Gilgamesh 7 and setting up families there. Is it okay for them to do that?" He then sat back in his seat and waited for the AI's response.

Meanwhile on the ships housing the civilians that weren't of breeding age, Oron and Ilumiya looked towards each other and began to speak "Well what do you suppose we do as soon as we get away from here? Oron said. "Well the first thing we should do once we get to Gilgamesh Seven is get you a new battle suit. I recommend we begin bounty-hunting shortly thereafter or if we must, begin a criminal career. It is also imperative that we let no one know of our special abilities. The captain got us on this ship and we had better make the best of it. I think we should probably try to find the Eternal Hope. It would serve us well as a personal ship, though from what the captain told me the pilot programmed the ship to constantly reprogram random hyperspace coordinates into the computer and then jump to them" Oron them sighed before saying "Yes that would be best. We had better remind ourselves that prospects most certainly do not look dim. They do not look dim at all."

Kedora responded, “Well where your people move in groups of 100 or more, a Trantor official must be there to watch your race, now and forever,” it was plain, “We will escort you to the station as soon as we are ready.

Trantor had already started operations to extract the water and minerals from the planet, the mass devastation not stopping the eternal pursuit for profit. Mining vessels and scanning vessels were on world, as Kedora warped in, its massive size rivaling that of a landmass the size of old Earth’s California in terms of surface area.

Marines and ships prepared to dock with the station, as shieldships arrived, setting up a basic defensive base and a Gate for faster access to core assets.


In space, a VF-27, a dramatically customized fighter went after the Eternal hope, the ship on an assignment from a mysterious benefaction to investigate that vessel for purposes of research. Its pilot said nothing as he jumped, searching the FTL nets for any sign of that ship….

Re: Trantor Fleet: Kedora, near Veerose Border Territories

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Conumbra on Sun Aug 30, 2009 11:38 am

As the captain was transferred to the main ship he happened to look out the port window and he noticed a huge ship exit hyperspace. It was large, in fact it took up most of his view out of the window. As soon as it exited hyperspace the captain began to ask himself why had Trantor not put that ship into battle in the first place. The answer was simple. From the looks of it, even though the ship was massive it didn't look like it had any combat abilities. That ship would have gotten pummeled with enough bombers after it. No it looked more like a massive factory.

When he got inside the ship he looked at one of the AIs and asked "So what do you need the leaders of our world for. Do you not trust us to learn our lesson? I am sorry but what do you need our leaders for?" He then stood in front of the AI before preparing top go where the AI wanted him to go.

On the ship carrying the 200 people who wanted to head to Gilgamesh 7, Oron and Ilumiya continued to discuss their plans. Trantor had herded the people who wanted to head to Gilgamesh 7 into a specific shuttle and now they waited for Trantor to consider them worthwhile enough to deal with them. On the shuttle Oron began to speak to Ilumiya "I think I know where I can some new battle armor. Don't you remember 4 days ago a Veroose named Semit left Helior with a ship load of Phoze and military weapons. He said he was going to make a name for himself as a merchant on Gilgamesh 7, selling our unique commodity to the masses. We might be able to get some new armor from him." Ilumiya responded "Yes that sounds like an idea worth going through with"

Meanwhile near the Phageous system Freasin was waiting but he decided to contact his captain and fellow commandos back on Helior. He had heard their entire conversation and he was devastated. But he didn't let it get to him. He was trained in his line of work not to let those things affect his judgment. He heard several times the mention of Gilgamesh 7. He then decided that he would go there as well and rendezvous with his team.He then forced his shuttle in hyperspace and headed for Gilgamesh 7. He had to be careful. Who knows what Trantor thought of him now.

Kedora started to produce more ships, using the old and damaged Veerose fleet for recycling purposed, scanning the ships for any useful information before consuming them in its massive factories. Warmachines were produced, all sorts of vital assets for Trantor’s defensive needs, as they even set up a massive series of arrays, for an unknown reason…

On the shuttle, two Androids flew below, opening up the outer airlock to enter the ship. These were the observers, who closed the outer airlock behind them, saying, “Under order of Trantor, we are here to escort you to the Gilgamesh system, our craft will let you go. The Vector is already approved, you may leave when ready..” The two androids sat down, looking at the refugees.

“Hey, don’t I know you,” A1 said to Ilumiya, “Or am I just seeing you through after images..”


Kedora responded to the leaders, “You shall stay on this station, as the leaders of your society,” as various intelligence officers confiscated data, keeping it in isolated non networked computers until it could be animalized. The secrets of this Phose substance, even if the vast majority of it was underwater, would be in Trantor’s hands in no time at all.

More mining ships flew through the Gate, dropping down on the water world, the ships taking vital materials for purposes of development and export on both the open and military use markets. This was a bargain, a new world for colonists, a new base for mining, and an outpost for Trantor operations. A good victory.

The captain nodded as he was escorted down the ship to his quarters. Meanwhile back on the ship headed to Gilgamesh 7 Ilumiya and Oron had gotten confirmation on their ability to head to the space station. Ilumiya and Oron had their plan worked out and they were going to head off. But before the ship started on of the androids that arrived to tell them that they were okay to leave had said that it had seen Ilumiya from somewhere else. That was extremely strange as Ilumiya had never ventured outside Helior before this day.

She responded with "I'm sorry I don't believe I've seen you before myself. Anyway it looks like we're ready to go so just start the engines already. She then turned towards Oron and whispered "I've just thought of a problem. What about Freasin. He was sent outside the system to Phageous. I don't think he officially surrendered. Trantor probably considers him a criminal by now. How is he going to get to Gilgamesh." Oron the responded also in whispers "Don't worry I'm sure he'll find a way. He was the best out of the three of us in training. We should find him safe and sound sipping some sort of super-cooled beverage on the station waiting for us." After Oron said those words the shuttle sped of towards Gilgamesh 7 and a better future for Oron, Ilumiya and Freasin. In fact a better future for everyone hopefully.

OOC: HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE to tell people, Trantor does not own Gilgamesh, it is a neutral system, Ryand-Smith the poster (Me) just happened to post it. Reserved but I think I'm all but done here


Space developers had expanded operations, as the planet became part of the Trantor systems, as even a Megaroad customized for water operations showed up, starting to feed colonists into prefabricated O’Neil Cylinders. More weather stabilized, and overtime, the world became stable, if wet. Hurricanes were a threat, but the massive weather disturbances were well worth the view of the sun rising over the new sea of the Victory planet. It would be said for years to come that this operation was the finest use of large scale AI in a battle
