(Last time)
"This is Grand Duke, Admiral Damon Vaako commander of the Olympus and Titanic fleets, defender of the northern sector, General and commander of the 16th, 09th, and 12th legions of the United Empire of Planets" his voice echoed through both fleets. "Minbari you will surrender or be destroyed" the communications officer indicated that the Minbari commander wanted to speak
"You dare, you and your species shall be destroyed beneath the boot of the Minbari" the female Minbari shouted.
"Then so it shall be" he said, the comm. officer opening the communications to the whole fleet. as he rose to his feet his armoured body giving a more intimidating presence "raise high the black flags, no pity, no mercy, I will shoot the first person I see with even a glimmer of pity with in him" he roared as his XO pressed a few buttons on his console "you Minbari, have unleashed a demon whose power you can't even begin to fathom, you have released a plague that will wipe the taint of your species from the galaxy, you have unshed the destruction of your species and any whom associate with you, pray Minbari to whatever god it is you pray to on the coldest harshest winters night for the gaze of the empire is now upon you."
(And now)
An amber beam of energy lanced its way through another blue crystal ship exploding it in mere moments. The Minbari fleet was being decimated ships of all classes were being taken apart with ease, an ease not seen since the last great crusade against the shadows.
Vaako watched from his eye piece before seeing that the Minbari was clustering around several ships to protect them from his rampage.
"They believe that they can hide behind a wall of bodies" he said as his bridge crew turned to him, "bring engines to full military thrust don't waist ordinance on any of these bugs, we are going for the queen"
"Full military thrust aye" said the helms man his hands gliding over the keys with the grace of a pianist.
"Sir" said the sensor operator catching his lord's attention, "several larger Minbari ships have moved to intercept"
He could see that plain as day as he looked through his eye piece. He shook his head in disgust as they moved directly into his path.
"Sir" said the officer
"Keep full ahead"
"But sir"
"Use that armour that's what it's for" he shouted down at the officer who wisely shut up. As he felt a slight tremble in the deck plates as they ploughed through a Minbari ship's like a cannonball through a wet paper bag.
"Weapons officer Aya" said Vaako he said turning to the African woman "there's a cluster of bugs in my view use the heavy weapons to remove them" he said she nodded before turning to her station and began inputting keys. The cluster was a small armada of larger Minbari ships.
"Sir" she said "heavy cutter beams are ready to fire"
The vast ship moved with the ease of a scout something of its size should not have been able to do, as it turned the tips of its wings began to glow ominously before two amber beams with a power and intensity that scared any rational being, the twin beams pivoted and moved slicing the ships from their path. Effectively breaking the Minbari defensive wall, the ship moved closer to the cluster at the very heart of the formation before opening fire decimating the Minbari centre and heading onwards to their goal like an unstoppable juggernaught.
Vakko noticed a human hammerhead craft charging at one of the larger Minbari ships a brilliant flash blinded him for a moment before his eyes adjusted. He noticed that the explosion had damaged allot of ships and he nodded in approval. His fleet were routing Minbari ships on all fronts any commander would have fallen back or regrouped witch ever fool commanded this fleet was either dead or incompetent.
"Prepare Ghost division I want the commanders of this fleet taken alive if possible" he tuned to the legion commander in his screen "and in one piece, I can hardly force surrender from beings missing the limbs to sign with"
Down in the legionary deployment zone the Ghost division ran to the there pods, modified class 8 probes made to drill into the hull of a ship and deploy the trooper inside feet first. The division was the elite of the elite and fanatical in there devotion to the mission and to their lord.
The armour plating on the port broad side of the vast ship opened to reveal what looked to be gun ports and in a blast of fire and energy they fired. Dull amber projectiles moved to their respective targets, the five biggest of the Minbari ships.
(Gray council)
The Minbari leaders watched in horror as the finest fleet and warriors the Minbari had assembled since the shadow wars were decimated with horrifying ease. To late did they notice the mammoth ship deploying its ordinance and to late did they realise that it wasn't the glowing stars of death but something different altogether.
(Inside Minbari ship Command Bridge)
The commander of the ship waited he expected death, he expected fire and he expected pain but what he got was none of those things instead he was still alive and wondering what the hell was going on.
