Hey everyone, here's pt. 2 of Cylon Attack on the Colonies.

Just to clear up something and that monbade pointed out, I am not trying to make the Battlestars or Vipers seem like they're indestructible; I am just making them to where they can do a good amount of damage before they buy it: for the Battlestars Prometheus, Hades, and Rhea, they are able to (even if they are alone) destroy at most a quarter of a, for instance, Cylon invasion fleet before they take enough damage while the Titan is able to destroy half of a Cylon invasion fleet before being destroyed thanks to its Heavy guns.

I also completely forgot to mention when I introduced the fleet in Ch. 2 that these Battlestars are not the normal class Battlestars as The Prometheus, Hades, and Rhea all have unique modifications to help compliment the fleet in missions and, thanks again for pointing this out monbade, they have double the capacity for Vipers and Raptors.

Sorry I'm rambling, on with the story.

Above Scorpia

Scorpion Fleet Shipyards

The attack on Scorpia had caused severe damage to the areas hit on the planet's surface from nuclear bombardment from the Cylon Basestars and moderate damage to the shipyards from the attacking Raiders' strafing/bombing runs on the Scorpion Fleet. While the shipyards' personnel were trying to get the damage under control to prevent the loss of valuable equipment and supplies, the crew of the Pegasus were preparing to make a blind jump in order to save the Pegasus from destruction. After detaching the docking cables from the hull of the ship and having set random jump coordinates into the computer, thus leaving the shipyards to its fate.

Just as the Pegasus was about to jump away, the Titan and Prometheus jumped into the system to assist stave off the Cylon attack. Seeing that the shipyards and the planet were under attack, Hood ordered the launch of all Vipers to assist saving the shipyards from the attacking Raiders while the Titan and Prometheus engaged the Basestars attacking the planet. While the Vipers were launching from the Titan and Prometheus, the Pegasus jumped away from the shipyards and was barely caught jumping away on DRADIS.

After all the Vipers were launched, the two ship detachment of Hood's fleet began to move to engage the Cylon fleet on their rear flank and targeted the closest Basestar. While the Battlestars engaged the Basestars, the Vipers proceeded to the shipyards at max speed to engage the attacking Raiders in order to prevent the total destruction of the Shipyards. Seeing that the Raiders were attacking in squadrons, the pilots moved to attack from above and behind the Raiders knowing that they had gain the element of surprise and they needed to move quickly to save the shipyards.

For those in the shipyards, they were hoping that miracle occurred to save the shipyards and saw that two Colonial ships were moving to engage the Cylon Basestars, but didn't see the Vipers that were moving to engage the Raiders. Seeing that Raiders were moving to strafe one of the Battlestars in the shipyards, they began to look on in dread as another ship was about to be destroyed only to the Raiders be destroyed by an unknown attack. After the Raiders were destroyed, Vipers suddenly appeared through the debris and started to engage the Raiders that were attacking other areas of the shipyards and were able to save three Battlestars, the Athena, Artemis, and Aphrodite, from destruction along with several support ships for the fleet. Drawing attention away from the shipyards, the Raiders began to focus their attention on the Vipers that just appeared, to them, seemingly out of nowhere; and the Vipers turned to engage the Raiders to keep them from destroying the shipyards thus starting a massive dogfight over the shipyards.

As the dogfight over the shipyards commenced, the Titan and Prometheus began to attack the contingent of Basestars over Scorpia attacking three of the closest to their position, destroying one due to the Titan's heavy guns and destroying the other two shortly after the first was destroyed. Proceeding to move inside of the fleet of Basestars, the Titan and Prometheus continued to target Basestars hoping that, with enough destroyed or damaged, the Cylons would pull back and retreat in order to save their remaining Basestars. As the two Battlestars continued to attack and destroy more and more Basestars as they moved further into the Cylon fleet, the Basestars started to redirect their weaponry from the planet to the two new Colonial contacts. As the two sides continued to engage each other, the Cylons saw that they were losing more ships then compared to the amount of damage they were able to do to the two Battlestars; and saw that they had nearly lost all of their Raiders and Basestars to just two ships and their Viper wing. Knowing that if they stayed they would be destroyed, the Cylons decided to cut their losses and return with more forces to finish what they started; not knowing that the two Battlestars were part of the Colonial fleet that handed them their first defeat in their massive attack on the Colonies. Recalling their remaining Raiders, the Cylons proceeded to bug out of the fight in order to save what was left of their now decimated invasion force. After all of the Raiders were on board, the Basestars began to jump back to friendly territory.

On the Cylon homeworld a.k.a. the Colony

Seeing that two of their invasion fleets were forced to retreat, the humanoid Cylons began to start thinking of defense plans for the possible Colonial counter-attack. While they started to think up the plans, each one was silently furious that the plan may be falling apart. Cavil was the one that was mad the most since all that they had planned to destroy the humans maybe falling apart because of one measly Colonial fleet of four Battlestars. Deciding to consort with the others about what should be done about this new development, he wanted to know what the next course of action should be, "What should we do about these new Battlestars that have effectively stalled our plans twice and save many human lives." questioned a number one, Cavil.

"Seeing that the weaponry on the largest of the four is able to destroy a Basestar with just a few salvos of its heavy armaments, it would be best to attack this fleet with a large attack force; one larger then the ones currently attacking the colonies as they can hold their own against a fleet that size." stated a number four, Simon.

"Why should they be a priority when there will likely be more survivors that have little to no protect and can be destroyed quickly?" asked a number five, Aaron.

Seeing no other options in terms of size to either risk losing all of their Basestars trying to destroy a fleet of Battlestars or using their Basestars to hunt down lightly protected refugee ships, the humanoid Cylons decided to go after the refugee ship then focus all their forces on destroying the fleet of four Battlestars.

Over Scorpia

Seeing the Cylons once again retreating, Hood contacted the Scorpion Shipyards to get a damage report and see if there was anything that could be useful in defending the evacuating civilians. Receiving the the report that three Mercury-Class Battlestars along with a majority of the support ships for the fleet were intact, with light to moderate damage thanks to the assistance from the Vipers of the Titan and Prometheus, and could be repaired in 12 hours given that they were in a secure location; Hood issued his orders, "The planet is to be evacuated and the shipyards is to be abandoned and destroyed. All shipyard personnel are to transfer all mechanical and spare parts to the remaining ships in the shipyards; if any Vipers or Raptors are located in the shipyards, they are to be transferred to the Battlestars Athena, Artemis, and Aphrodite. After the transfer is complete, set charges throughout the shipyards to prevent the Cylons from using it. After the charges are set, shipyard personnel are to board the remaining ships and detonate the charges remotely after clearing the blast radius. Once the evacuation of the planet is complete and the shipyard is destroyed, jump to Aquaria where you will meet up with the two Battlestars Hades and Rhea and await further orders." said Hood in a commanding tone.

The Titan and Prometheus stayed in the system to provide cover for the evacuation of the planet and shipyards since they were the only ones that would likely stand a chance if the Cylons returned to finish what they started. After the planet was completely evacuated and the shipyards were abandoned and destroyed, Hood recalled the Vipers of the Titan and Prometheus and proceeded to jump to Picon hoping to save any other Colonial forces from the catastrophe of the Cylon's Holocaust on the human race.

And finished.

There is part two of three for the Attack on the Colonies.

Again if you want to know what each one looks like, open a new tab/window and use this URL: watch?v=T0GI2GHgwBI and it should give you the video.

I am not sure when I will post part three since I am still typing it and the chapters following that I will likely rewrite since I don't like the way the are now and I have hit writers block on the paper version of the story.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please review and favorite, it always helps to know what I need to change in the story. And as always, have nice day.

Frost.
