Chapter 1

Sacrifices

The year was 2499 AD and war was on the verge of erupting. The Terran Confederacy was in disarray struggling with a Rebel group called the Sons of Korhal, led by Arcturus Mengsk, who were raiding multiple Confederate facilities to gain intelligence factors on military and scientific research and to add insult to injury the ever growing Xenomorph problems which had broken out on Chau Sara which was slowly spreading across the border colonies of Koprulu Sector which caused more problems for the Confederacy military and to add to that rumors had also come alight about an Alien fleet approaching the Dylar Rim.

The Confederacy did not need another war with aliens or the other Terran forces out there and with the Confederate Military thin after just coming off the Guild Wars barley defeating the Kel-Morian Combine an Alien attack could possibly be the end of the Confederacy.

The Confederacy's fighting force, some of the hardest soldiers in the Koprulu Sector, consisted of Squadrons with each Squadron controlling a vast amount of military data, scientific data and military power with each Squadron serving its own purpose. Alpha Squadron also known as the Blood Hawks was the confederacy flag ship Squadron commanded by General Edmund Duke, the Blood Hawks were given all the action and major Confederacy duties, which made some of the other Squadrons jealous and some would do anything to proceed to Alpha Squadron level, Alpha Squadron was only for the best and it was very rare to see the Squadron defeated in battle. Delta Squadron is Alpha Squadrons back up, only called upon if Alpha is in need of assistance, which hasn't happened since the Guild Wars. Gamma Squadron was the Confederacy's scientific squadron containing a few military forces, Gamma is only called upon for scientific duty. Nova Squadron is the confederacy's watchers, spying on the other squadrons for the confederate command, stationed at Backwater Station, Mar Sara, Nova Squadron is also rumored to have started the Xenomorph spread on Chau Sara. Omega Squadron is the Confederacy heavy military arsenal, mainly consisting of unstable convicts, Omega is called upon for last minute measures, it is also rumored that the Omega Squadrons operatives called upon the nuclear strike on Korhal which caused millions of civilians and Military deaths. Omega Reaper and Death Hand Squads are the most recognizable squads in all of the five squadrons. Reaper and Death Hand Division are usually enlisted for personal Confederate missions from scientific to assassination. Omega Squadron was commanded by Lieutenant Commander Gregory Riekson one of the finest commanders in Omega who commanded Alpha, Delta and Omega Squadrons to the destruction of a Kel-Morian fortress in the Guild Wars. Omega Squadrons Reaper Division is one of the primmest divisions in the Confederacy, led by one of the greatest warriors in the Koprulu Sector.

Gregory McCloud, a proud and patriotic Confederate. A Lieutenant in Omega Squadron and commander of Reaper Squad he had been apart of the Guild Wars and the Korholian Rebellion. McCloud fortunately was one of the only Omega personal not to have a criminal past and one of the most respected officers in the whole of the Confederacy, respected even by the arrogant General Duke. McCloud had received many medals in his time of duty including the Medal of Honor, The Star of Reconciliation and one of the rarest medals in the whole of the confederacy, The Confederate Stripe. The respect he had earned had also gained him the leadership of the Reapers who, while in charge, decimated a Sons of Korhal Command base on Umoja although two years had past since then the Reapers were still given the rim running duties, cargo watching, taking care of raiders, reviewing scientific expeditions and watching the Sons of Korhal incidents through the sector but since the rumor of the Alien fleet along the Dylar rim which evidently is near the Omega Squadron home base, Dylar 4, the squadron had been kept on red alert.

McCloud's alarm sounded to his delight, he heaved himself up and rubbed his eyes, getting rid of all the ash covering them. He got out of bed and stretched.

"Good Morning Lieutenant McCloud, how may I help you this morning?"

"Morning computer, get me a coffee with real coffee in it this time, none of that fake shit and prep the bathroom like usual, oh and computer one other thing, could you try and get me transferred to Helico 3, I've heard that there's supposed to be wonderful weather this time of year"

"Sir, some of the tasks you have ordered cannot be achieved at this time, your coffee will be ready for you after this voice message, the bathroom is prepped and ready, is there anything else sir?" the computers voice stopped and a small cupboard like door opened and a mug full of coffee appeared.

McCloud walked over and picked it up.

"Thank you computer, ah… one more thing, I need this mornings reports"

"As you wish, anything else sir?"

"No Thank you Computer"

The door opened again and a small data pad was there, McCloud picked it up and walked over to a small one person table, he put the coffee down and sat on the chair that was beside it. He looked at the pad and red through the morning's articles.

Breaking News: Chau Sara Obliterated

Early this morning Confederate colony Chau Sara was attacked by Unidentified Alien Ships, the planets surface was wiped of all life. Sensor probes which were sent after the attack, reports that the Alien fleet have vanished, Confederate forces now investigate the identity of the Aliens involved as there was earlier reports of Alien ships around the Dylar Rim.

Anitga Prime Marshall Law Update

The Anitga Prime Marshall Law continues today, Confederate forces have gunned down forty-five civilians this morning after rioting in the main cites went to an all time high. Confederate troops have taken control of the situation, we will update you on the progress of the situation when the information becomes available.

Galactic Network Canceling "Better Living through Maximum Firepower"

The rumors are not true says TV Host of the hit TV series "Better Living Through Maximum Firepower" Josh Andrews reported that they have actually signed a four year deal for four more season of the show. This comes to a surprise and a relief too many as rumors had been circulating of the cancellation of the TV Show.

McCloud put down the pad, finished his coffee and took a quick shower and suited up, he put the pad and coffees into the cupboard like door where he had originally got them and placed them inside. McCloud looked in the mirror, combed his hair and walked out the door. McCloud walked down the long corridors of the ship and down an elevator to reach the right level.

McCloud walked down the last corridor and found the briefing room, McCloud saluted the guard outside and walked in to a large room, with fifty or so seats lined, some filled, some empty. A man was at the front standing in front of a table holding a folder. McCloud walked down to the front and saluted the man standing.

"Morning Sir"

"Morning McCloud, hear about Chau Sara?" said the man.

"I did General, I suppose you have more information on the incident than the media" asked McCloud looking over the seats.

"Ha, I do, I do, but we will have to wait for the briefing to commence before I put some light on the situation"

0500 hit and the seats were now filled with Omega personal. The General stood and the room went quiet except for a few mumbles in the room.

"Montag shut up! Now on to today's briefing, as you all know yesterday Chau Sara was attacked and wiped out, no survivors. Confederate command is in disarray with Alpha, Nova and Gamma all in active combat, Command has turned to us. Omega Squadron troops will be sent to Tarsonis Orbital Platform to add to the already defended Tarsonis, however General Duke has ordered that Omega Squadron should also be sent to the Dylar Rim to check out the reports on the spotting of Alien Ships and Confederate Command has agreed, so that's why I've been ordered by Lieutenant Commander Gregory Riekson to send Reaper Squad for some rim running" said the General looking over the soldiers who looked in complete disgust.

"Yes Soldier" said the General pointing over to one of the soldiers who was putting his hand up.

"So we, one of Omegas greatest squads are on rim running duty while the rest of Omega defends Tarsonis from whatever the hells out there?"

"That's right soldier. I am also to report that Mar Sara is under attack. Alpha Squadron has been sent to investigate but we are not sure if it's the same aliens that attacked Chau Sara but its more like a couple if Sons of Korhal stirring up trouble. But in the unlikely event if Alpha isn't able to contain the situation on Mar Sara, command has ordered them to retreat back to the nearest planet Antiga Prime, leaving the planet and its civilians, any more questions?"

"Sir, if I may ask, is there any physical description of these Extra Terrestrials" said McCloud.

"No, that's what's buggering up command with no witness left after the Chau Sara attack there are no possible ways to identify the enemy bottom line you see any thing different that isn't human… kill it, now if there isn't anymore questions, Lt McCloud will now take over briefing" the General finished and sat down, McCloud stood up.

"Morning troops, well where back on duty as the General said, I want you all suited up in one hour, Montag take your division and take a Dropship and rag tag us just incase we come into contact with an enemy force… I want 3 Wraiths each squad, search thoroughly through the rim, if you spot anything unusual just send a transmission and Antioch will be there, if nothing is found then return to home base for debriefing, that's about it, Anyone got any questions, General? Well Then your all dismissed" said McCloud the men stood and walked out discussing the attack on Chau Sara.

McCloud shook the Generals hand and as he left the briefing room the General called "Good Luck McCloud" McCloud walked through the corridors and walked into the Wraith Fighter bay locker rooms and suited up into his Wraith gear, he then joined some other Reaper squad mates who were doing the same. McCloud sat down next to some of the men who were waiting for the time to past.

"Morining Sheppard, Chechoff, Leo"

"Morning Sir" said all three men at once.

"So… Got any info on Mar Sara yet?" asked McCloud putting his boots on.

"We might… why do you ask?"

"My friend Jim Ranyor is stationed there, marshal of the wastelands I think"

"Well in that case I suppose we could shed some light on the situation" said Sheppard looking at Chechoff and Leo and then back at McCloud

"Seems like there's some type of problem we don't know what the problem is but it seems like Alpha Squadron has been called in, something's going and its serious, here take this PDA, it will keep you up to date with everything going on, don't worry we have a spare, it will beep and vibrate when the news comes in"

"Yea, great piece of technology" said Leo

"Thanks boys, I'll put it to good use" said McCloud standing up. He walked over to the centre of the locker rooms.

"Alright Reapers, you know what you have to do. But stay ready, we all know what happened to Chau Sara so beware anything could happen out there, well Good Luck out there and Move OUT!" yelled McCloud, the troops all stood up, ran and hopped into there respected Wraiths. McCloud reached his Wraith, a side label on the side of the Wraith red "The Reapers – The Might to Fight" he got in and started up the systems he put on his helmet and the General appeared on the monitor.

"If any of you need assistance retreat back to the Antioch which will be stationed at the coordinates I'm sending you now... Montag will be kept at the Antioch and will only be called if needed, Good Luck Reapers, God speed" the monitor switched off and controls took its place, a loud speaker tuned in over the fighter bay and a five second count down began.

The Wraiths were ejected from the Fighter bay and sent into the blank space with stars gleaming at them, the battle cruiser slowly became smaller as the Wraiths sped into space toward the Dylar Rim which became bigger and bigger as the Wraiths came toward it.
