The Few: Earth Defense
Prologue:
The Normandy-class Carrier U.E.S.S. Omaha (SAC-01) was moving in orbit around the Earth. The once all battered and scared Space Aircraft Carrier had been restored beyond its intended original form. The repairs, refits, and various ship upgrades for additional ship board armaments, and hull armor. In an effort, to upgrade Earth's only operational space vessel into a true orbital Battleship.
Earth was still recovering, the battle in both space, and on the ground took a lot of effort on Earth's part to fight off.
Many lives were taken away in the orbital bombardment, luckily the space to ground missile shield kept nuclear missiles from hitting any of their ground base targets with an actual nuke.
Orbital lasers satellites that had been shielded from the EMP's of nukes going off in orbit. Had mange to successfully pick off a large number of attacking fighter craft in both space and in the air from Earth orbit, before they were all targeted, and destroyed.
Besides the combine Earth military being hit hard, civilians took the worse of it. Research stations, ships, and dome colonies had been hit hard throughout the Sol system. From Mars all the way to Pluto laid a trial of dead. The Earth Fleets were all spread throughout the Sol system. The Fleet only chance to at least survive was to pull back, even with almost the entire fleet's destruction at Earth, with the end result leaving only the Space Carrier U.E.S.S. Omaha as the only sole surviving space vessel. The loss of so many took a chunk out of everyone.
Everyone needed someone to blame, for this terrible loss. But the surviving hero of the battle for Earth, Newly promoted Admiral Kyle Malone, captain of the orbital Carrier Omaha. Now the most senior officer left in the combine Earth forces said a few words honestly from his heart.
We all loss someone, but we cannot let hate, fear, anger, anything make us forget who we really are. I not saying was perfect or better, as we all know no one is perfect. Were all, just the same old humans we are before. But do we hate those who took all our friends, family, and love ones well than yes by all means. But we remember one thing from this; we must learn to be better people than them. We have a choice to choose our own fate, a freedom no matter where or who you are from to decide our own fate. And we must never forget that. The night has past, and morning has finally come, but this war and the stormy night will always return again. The question is now simple people, what are we going to go from here on?
On the date of November 18, 2052, at 18:31 Hours, Earth time, the newly form United Earth government congress, declared a state of war between the people of Earth, and her colonies and the so called Twelve Colonies of Man.
What would be known as the Unsung War has begun.
And those brave few who died in defense of their homes, and Earth were never to be forgotten for their ultimate sacrifice. Till the end of time, as the brave RAF in the last great war: Never has so much and more, been given by so few.
This is the true story of the famous 'First Battle for Earth'.
