Chapter 2- Reinforcements at Betazed
A small Starfleet armada was stationed at Betazed when the Dominion attacked. They were overwelmed and within hours the Dominion landed troops on Betazed. Fleet Admiral Harper and Fleetmaster Natomee were sent to liberate the planet. The fifty-strong fleet came out of slipspace and opened fire immediately. The Dominon returned fire but their shots did not penetrate the shields of both the Covenant and UNSC ships.
After the war all three sides exchanged technology, UNSC and Covenant ships now carried a set of Starfleet shields in addition to the Covenant shields already in place. Weaponry on both sides was supplemented by phasers for the most part. The point defense laser cannons and machine guns were replaced by phaser arrays. Primary weapons on both still consisted of plasma torpedoes and MAC rounds. Archer missles were improved with Anti-matter warheads.
"Harper to Natomee, that cruiser is really getting on my nerves! Could you do both of us a favor and take it out?"
"Patience Human, it will be destroyed soon. The Dominion fleet is almost in ruins; prepare to land your troops Admiral."
"Acknowledged. Helljumper platoons 1-3 prepare to drop on my mark. Mr. Silva, find them a good spot to land, Master Chief, take Blue team, go with 1st platoon, secure a landing zone for the rest of our forces."
"Sir, additional contacts Klingon and Starfleet ships coming out of warp."
"Open a channel"
"Channel open sir."
A Klingon and a Starfleet Captain he didn't know appeared on the screen.
"This is the starship Venture, mind if we crash your party Admiral?"
"Be my guest, you can clean up the mess we made while we hit the Jem'Hadar on the ground."
"Very well, all ships break and attack, pattern Alpha six."
"Harper to Natomee."
"Natomee here."
"Starfleet and the Klingons are here, they are going to clean up the enemy fleet while we go groundside. Standby to drop troops on the Northern Hemisphere."
"Acknoledged we're almost in position."
The UNSC and Covenant ships took up a stationary orbit above the Northern Hemisphere of Betazed. Helljumpers and Covenant Elites were in their entry pods waiting for the drop.
"Sir, I've located a good zone for our initial forces." Said Silva.
"Good, commence the drop and tell Natomee to do the same"
"Aye sir, HEVs on their way, EEVs also en route."
A few minutes later the last Dominion ship exploded from multiple phaser, torpedo and distruptor hits. Then the Starfleet-Klingon taskforce took up positions around the planet and beamed troops down to the planet near concentrations of Jem'Hadar troops.
