Hey guys sorry about the lack of uploads, life got in the way. Anyways I've been reading your reviews and I'll try to make the chapters longer and define who's talking to whom. Oh also I'm not going to make the star wars forces to under powered, but not overpowered, I'll experiment as I go. Anyways let's begin.
"Lord Hood request permission to return to Reach to unload wounded and get extra supplies"
"Permission granted captain. Senator Amidala I will send the Infinity back to this planet specifically for our meeting."
"Very well Lord H-"
The conversation was cut off as the didact's ship the Mantle's Approach exited Requiem and went into slipspace visibly scarring or surprising all.
"Uh, what was that?" Ahsoka said with a hint of fear.
"I don't know snips, Captain Del Rio what, where's Captain Del Rio?"
"General Skywalker the Infinity jump entered some sort of white and blue portal, thing" said one of the bridge crew.
"What?" said Anakin with a hint of confusion.
"It appears the form of Faster Than Light travel." the same crewman said. "I wasn't able to record it however."
"Very well, admiral get us back to friendly space." said Anakin
"Yes sir, helm get us home."
-Two weeks later-
The RSS Resolute waited at the location they meet Infinity onboard were Senators Amidala and Chuchi as was Anakin Skywalker who was looking at sensor data from further in the system.
"I don't like on bit. These ships don't look anything like the Infinity in any form."said Anakin.
"I agree sir, glad you brought Captain Rex and Torrent Company." said Yularen
"Yeah but remember they're here only if things get hot." said Anakin
"I don't think to use them sir I've looking over some of the sensor data of the Infinity and its interesting to say the least." said Yularen
"Please enlighten us admiral." said Senator Chuchi.
"Of course senator. For starters we detected 10, five hundred meter long vessels inside the ship. On top of that their weapons are slugthrowers!"
"Slugthrowers, admiral?" said Anakin, very puzzled
.
"Yes sir" said Yularen before turning to another crew member. "How large and how far are those new contacts?"
"Two ships are 5.3 kilometers long, just a little shorter than Infinity and 10 1.7 kilometers long. Their not on an attack vector yet sir, but not responding to our hails either." said the bridge crewman.
"Very well, keep an eye on them let us now if they leave or get reinforced, until the Infinity shows up we're alone out here" he said
"Admiral the Infinity has arrived." a crewman said just as the UNSC Infinity exited slipspace fifty kilometers in front of the Resolute. Very quickly their hailed by the Infinity
"Greets, Captain- who are you?" said Yularen said with a bit of confusion.
"I'm Captain Lasky, Captain Del Rio was removed from command last week. Part of the reason for us being a little last week and you are?" Lasky said
"I'm Yularen,now let's get down to business: the delegates, and do you know anything about these 12 unknown ships?" said Yularen
"Oh joy they're here too." said Lasky with a hint of sarcasm "Yeah we do Roland keep an eye on them. Now the delegates send over one of you ships and I will allow armed escort from your troopers."
"Thank you captain they'll shortly." Yularen said
-Bridge of the UNSC Infinity-
"Captain, the Storm just entered slipspace" said a crewman.
"Damn, Roland warm up the fighters and Dare's Stridents." Lasky said
"Sir, Storm ships 10 kilometers out!" Roland said.
"Heretics! You shall be ground into dust!" said the storm leader
"Well things are about to get interesting." Lasky said "Contact Yularen tell them those new contacts are hostile!"
Without saying a word Roland brought up Yularen "What the nine corellian hell's going on captain?"
"Those unknowns have become hostile. I suggest you prepare for combat" Lasky said
"Acknowledged" Yularen bluntly stated
"Roland spin up the MAC cannons and archer missiles, oh and ready a few shilvas as well." Lasky
"Shilvas, sir?" Roland said "Expecting more trouble?"
"No doesn't hurt to be safe though." Lasky said
"Fair enough, oh also the Republic delegate have arrived." Roland said
"Good send the Senators down to a secure location, Skywalker up to the bridge, tell their to stay in the ship, and ready the spartans." Lasky ordered
"Already on that last one"
"Good"
In space the Infinity and Resolute move side by side and engages the storm ships. Two MAC rounds from Infinity impact two separate battlecruisers and destroys them outright. Archer missiles impact another battlecruiser does significant engine and hangar damage and it pulls away only to then explode. Not to be out done the Resolute fires all of her turbolasers at a battlecruiser instantly vaporizing its shields and impacting the hull and tearing it apart leaving a lifeless wreck. During this republic V-19's and UNSC longswords engage Storm sherpas. One of the assault carriers fires several plasma torpedos at the Infinity and the Resolute, more so at the Infinity. The Infinitys shields hold against the plasma, the Resolute on the other hand, one of the three actually hit due to Yularen's sudden evasive maneuver to port. The impacting plasma torpedo glances the Venator and melts away the starboard "wing" and quickly and the ship launches escape pods and any craft that can get out of the hangar, however they get one last volley off. The Infinity fires at the assault carrier, the MAC rounds removing its shields an impacting their planetary bombardment systems while the Resolutes lasers tears into its hull filling it with holes around and in the reactor and falls silent before becoming a new star for about 5 seconds. And all this before Skywalker gets to the bridge of the Infinity
"How goes the battle captain?"
"Well, very well. Your ship has destroyed one battlecruiser and one assault carrier ,we destroyed 3 battlecruisers, and our fighters have engaged the enemy fighters. Oh and before you ask, the assault carriers are the larger ships and the battlecruisers are the smaller ones." Roland said
"Yes however your ship took a big hit and lost its starboard wing and anything that could get out of the ship did." Lasky said.
"Damn, well I'm happy we destroyed one of the bigger ships. How's the fighter battle?" Skywalker replied
"It's not good but not bad either, Our fighters are sticking close to the Infinity and her point defense guns, but out in the open, your fighters are getting mauled. Our fighters stand a better chance in the open as our shields are more adapted against them" Lasky said
"We have shield you know and also can I borrow a fighter?" Skywalker replied
"First answer: I noticed, but they don't last long against plasma. Second answer: no, you don't know how to fly it, and it doesn't help that we don't write the same." Roland said back
"Oh, ok I understand, I just don't like standing around is all, also what about my people's escape pods?"
"Already on it." Roland replied
During this time three battlecruisers were destroyed, another two were in flames, and the last assault carrier was starting to get beaten down. However the crew of the Infinity knew that because of the storm religious extremism they will fight to the bitter end. And they did. One the burning battlecruisers finally exploded sending shrapnel into both the surviving assault to little to no effect and also into another battlecruiser doing some moderate damage mainly in the mid section of the ship. The assault carrier fires again at the Infinity, all the plasma torpedos impact onto the shields doing nothing. By this time the fighter battle turn for the UNSC/Republic as they begin to push back against the Storm fighters, also by this time the Republic craft that escaped the resolute have got on board the Infinity and Republic Y-wings begin bombing runs onto the surviving the Storm ships. They swarm a battlecruiser destroying it outright and attack a second, while a second group attack the assault carrier causing confusion in the attacking Storm fighters as they scramble to defend their last assault carrier and at this is at the same time the UNSC/Republic fighters counter-attack. Two more MAC rounds impact two more battlecruisers and destroys them outright. The last two battlecruisers move forward and attempt to aid their fighters. One however had to move around the assault carriers while the other stayed by the surviving assault carrier leaving the other exposed and alone, it was swarmed by Republic fighters and bombers and with a weakened fighter escort it is quickly destroyed. The Infinity puts two MAC rounds into the surviving assault carrier destroying it and Archer missiles finish off the battlecruiser finally ending the battle.
"It's finally over." Skywalker said with relief. To be honest with himself, he had never been so scared about a new foe "I'm going to check on the survivors from my ship."
"Very well Skywalker, I'll have some men escort you to them. Roland, set course Earth."
"Yes sir" he replied
