2.2c That's the standard combat speed of the Mark II Void fighter.
Eezo lowers the mass of an object to the point of FTL, humans simply made ships and training programs to fight at such speeds. Kinetic rounds are fired from within the mass bubble and fighter turns off before hitting it's self, the round then exits the bubble of reduced mass violently decelerating to about 0.97c giving off photons of the necessary wavelength to do so.
Being the captain of a carrier isn't the most glamorous job, it's deploy, retreat, pickup fighters and hope the stealth systems hold.
Combat in space is very much ship to ship free, such ships get blown up faster then the speed of light.
2096: Quantum dust (Eezo) discovered, it's properties are quickly worked out.
2102: Cruiser blue prints are made by several nations.
2103: The Mark I Void fighter model from a privet company has a delayed test flight but when it filially fires many think it was carrying a prototype anti-matter torpedo.
The company attack the loophole in the laws of conservation of energy formulating into the creation of terawatt power plants the size of a family car that never need run dry. Mass is easily converted into energy with this new system.
2105: The company pays off it's debuts 20 years early and is now called Terra Nova. Spies report back on the origin of the mass-energy converters.2126: Terra Nova mines for the quantum dust on Mars. They find a cache of advanced Prothean technology.
The mass to energy converters are now the size of a wrist watch. The head of Terra Nova secretly wrights his will to leave Terra Nova to the British government fearing what the next CEO might to with his power. News of alien ruins is sold.
2128: The suspected assassination of the Terra Nova CEO happens.
Trident class spaceship- many super precision guns, ODP bays and a kinetic shield.
Mark II Void fighter
Carrier class spaceship- Gaul 400 meters- stealth systems and Void fighter bay.
2137: Britain takes over the world in the 16 hour war. Void fighters destroy enemy spacecraft, Trident classes shot down missiles of all types and destroy any navy that approach, mass-energy converters power lasers that shot down fighters. Any leader that resists is assassinated by a Trident.
Many still don't know why until Britain is renamed Terra Nova. The age of broken nations and extra solar expansion begins.
2157: An alien race destroys a Trident class. 800 Gaul carriers with 16,000 Mark III Void fighters are sent to retaliate in the first wave.
A wave of Trident classes begin desecrating the Turian populations of 10 captured colonies. Turian fleets 2-7 are no-more, the Citadel Counsel begin gathering their fleets at the citadel.
The Reapers begin the harvest, the fleet moves through the citadel mass relay.
2160: The Reaper main force is ambushed by Terra Nova. Mark III & Mark IV Void fighters destroy all Reaper dreadnoughts, the Reaper forces fall into anarchy with Harbinger's and the catalyst's death.
Over the next 40 years Terra Nova conquers the known galaxy despite only having a citizen population of 600 million. The end.
A/N
I filially finished a story. I just needed to make it super short. I will make a Halo sequal if there's demand, but this isn't exactly good, I just really wanted to finish a story for once.
