Earth

Einherjar dropped out of hyperspace over the planet Earth, a massive satellite in tow. Attached to massive cables was an Ancient defense satellite. The Terran Flagship pushed forward, dragging the satellite into geo-stationary orbit alongside its six brethren. Einherjar slowed to a stop over the blue planet, jettisoned the cables, speeding away. As of that moment, Earth became the seventh-most protected planet in the galaxy.

Harry stood up, stretching his arms out. He hadn't quite gotten used to uniform he'd designed. Earth had become a single, unified entity and thus couldn't abide by a standard uniform of any one country. Thus the responsibility had fallen to Harry to design the military uniform for the Terran Coalition (something he had no part in naming). He had reluctantly been forced not to copy Starfleet's design despite all his protests. The uniform consisted of a slate gray tunic and pant ensemble. The tunic was double breasted with a bit of room set aside for nametag and awards similar in many ways to most human armies. On the shoulders were the rank insignia, a new design that took into account naval doctrine and could be directly compared to most modern systems. The insignia on Harry's shoulder was that of Fleet Admiral with two silver bars flanking a gold six-point star. Apart from basics, Harry had insisted upon room for weaponry like the MSA1 sub-sonic sidearm, the standard issue pistol that went out to all fleet operators. There would be time for explaining that later.

A screen appeared on the bridge displaying Vice-Admiral Erik Anderson, commander of Coalition Space Command. The man was in his early fifties with dimly graying black hair and mirthful brown eyes. He was likely in Terrapin Station, the orbital structure housing Space Command.

"Admiral Potter, it's good to see you back so soon," Anderson greeted with a small salute. "You've arrived just in time. The Repulse is slated to be completed today. We were hoping that you could commission her." Harry sighed in relief.

"Thank the stars," Harry breathed. "I was afraid we'd miss it. Dragging that satellite bumped travel time up by three hundred percent!" Anderson chuckled.

"You can tell me about it later," the Vice Admiral said. "I suggest you beam over to the shipyard; the ceremony's begun." Harry didn't bother with beaming; he just Phase Jumped.

Orbital Shipyards

It had been six months since the formation of the Terran Coalition. With every country on Earth united the need for secrecy among countries was unneeded. As such structures such as the Orbital Shipyards and Terrapin Station were fully allowed. It had only taken a few weeks to build the Shipyards and as soon as they were complete construction began on six different ships. One such ship was the TCS Repulse, a battle cruiser that was fully incorporated with extraterrestrial technology such as shields, hyper drive and energy weapons. The ship was half as long as Einherjar, five hundred meters, and had a crew compliment of about 600. Being built alongside the Repulse were several other ships of varying classes. One was a battleship, another was a carrier and the other three were escort ships.

Harry appeared in a crackling of air on the podium that stood before the Repulse, much to the surprise of the people on it. Gasps and whispers could be heard for a few seconds as he flashed into existence. Loud cheers and applause quickly followed from the formation of soldiers, civilians and reporters in the area below the podium. Harry chuckled and held his hand up for them to quiet down. He stepped forward, taking the place of a beleaguered Admiral that had been forced to take Harry's place in the ceremony for a short time. The crowd quieted as Harry stopped.

"Hi." Chuckles followed. "Sorry I'm late. There was this gift shop that crossed my path on the way back that had this huge honking space gun and I just had to have it." More chuckles followed. "Anyway, I'm here to commemorate the completion of the Terran Coalition's first spaceship. The Galileo and the Copernicus don't count since the former United States of America both designed and fielded those ships. However, the TCS Repulse will fight alongside them nonetheless. I know that I could go on and on about this ship's combat capabilities; after all, she is my brain child, one of the few warships I ever cared to think up. While I won't do that, I will tell all of you this; don't piss this old girl off." Just as the first set of chuckles had died down, a second set erupted. Harry checked his watch, holding up three fingers. He dropped one, then another.

Just as the last finger fell, five planes flew through the atmospheric bubble of the shipyards. The crowd stared up in awe as the planes came in from behind the Repulse and flew over their heads in a beautiful arrow formation. There were two types of planes. Four of them were the brand new MF-14 Calamity air superiority fighter. The plane was streamlined, had forward swept wings that were littered with missiles, four on each. Only a single, Ancient-Crossbreed Engine powered the small fighter but it easily kept up with the formation's lead plane. Calamity was as small as a MIG 29, as sleek as an F-16 and as strong as an F-15. Harry still remembered what Larry said when he first saw the plane. "God damn it, Harry! That MIG 29 got raped by a Berkut!" Harry hadn't completely stopped chuckling yet.

Calamity boasted weapons systems worthy of a sci-fi fighter. Alongside its eight missiles was a twenty-millimeter grav-gun, or a gun that fired using anti-gravity instead of gunpowder. The gun's single barrel barely stuck out of the fuselage on the right side of the cockpit. Calamity's other weapon was one of Harry's favorites. It was a seventy-millimeter rail gun mounted inside the fuselage on the left side of the cockpit. It fired enormous bullets at speeds that even a grav-gun couldn't hope to match. The shells could be changed depending on the mission between explosive, ceramic (for armor penetration) or even radiological for dirty warfare. One shot from that rail gun would pierce through tank armor like a cannon through drywall. However, the weapon could only carry fifteen rounds of ammunition due to its sheer size.

The lead plane was familiar, but still rather different. It was an MF-03C Shrouded Silhouette, a sincere upgrade of the old Silhouette. It engines had been supercharged, giving it a max speed of upwards of Mach 10 at absolute max. Maneuvering thrusters had been added all throughout the plane's fuselage for enhanced maneuverability at all speeds. To compliment her already formidable arsenal of weaponry, a seventy millimeter rail gun had been added. Because of space constrictions the gun had to be fitted between the engines on the underside of the plane. The barrel stuck out directly underneath the nose. The Shrouded Silhouette was designed to be only used by Ace pilots while the Calamity was the mainstay fighter. Its maneuverability and weapons capacity was simply too much for a normal pilot and for good reason.

The formation shot over head and out the other side of the shipyard, breaking off into a five pointed half circle with trails of artificial smoke following them as they left. The crowd cheered in earnest as the fighters disappeared.

"I think that that was our cue!" Harry cried out. Behind him the Repulse slipped out of the shipyards and into the vastness of space.

Repulse

The TCS Repulse had been designed by Harry almost immediately after he formed the Terran Coalition of Nations. Because he had to adhere to the Treaty of the Four Great Races, he couldn't add any Asgard technology to the ship. That meant that his beaming technology, double-layer shields, power systems and weaponry could not be duplicated lest it be taken away by the Asgard and Nox. However, any technology that Harry created himself he could provide and, being the last Ancient in existence, he could do just that.

Repulse greatly resembled his old ship, the Corona. The main body consisted of a large hammerhead shape mounted affront a long fuselage. Two large wings extended from either side, bent slightly downward. Mounted on the edges of the wings were massive pulse batteries, two on each wing. These cannons were roughly one hundred and fifty percent more powerful than a standard Hatak Class ship's own main batteries. But that made up barely ten percent of the ship's armaments. Fifty rail guns littered the ship in every tactical position imaginable. Along with them came four pulse batteries, each slightly smaller than their winged cousins. However what these smaller guns lacked in firepower they made up for in mobility. Each gun could rotate to hit any point above the ship and the one cannon on the underside could hit any point below it. Four massive engines adorned the rear of the fuselage arrayed in a diamond formation. Each engine could generate four hundred thousand pounds of thrust and, with four of them, the Repulse could move at .25C (one fourth the speed of light) when in sub light speeds.

However, while the Repulse was a formidable ship by any standards, there was one factor that made it superior in all aspects. The Yamato Gun was placed in the hammerhead front of the ship. The 60 Meter wide gun jutted out of the fuselage and rant he entire length of the ship. For all intents and purposes, it was a super weapon. A nuclear warhead would be detonated deep within the bowels of the ship. Then, hundreds of shield reflectors would channel that energy directly to the front, creating a neutron laser of unimaginable power. A single shot could completely wipe out the shields on Einherjar's first shield and damage the second set slightly. The same attack would completely destroy a Hatak Class ship.

But, with all power comes drawbacks. Since Harry couldn't provide the Terran Coalition with any sufficient power generators, (as he had no idea how to make one himself) the Yamato Gun could only be fired once every ten minutes. Battles often times ended long before then and any battle that did would be far bloodier than you would want to imagine.

Repulse had been put into production almost immediately after the Orbital Shipyards were completed. Even then, it had taken five months to full prepare and build the ship. Needless to say, the Repulse would serve as a Capital Ship, not a mass production ship. Besides, it cost about a billion dollars to create. That kind of money can't be thrown around wistfully, least of all on big honking space battleships. Well, technically, Repulse was a Battle Cruiser but that was neither here nor there.

At the very moment, Repulse moved through the vastness of space, moving away from Earth's gravity well. It would be heading out into the galaxy on its first mission. Over the years, the Goa'uld had fought brutally with each other. Occasionally a System Lord or two would die, but that rarely happened. Instead, they just fought and fought until there was nowhere left to fight. This resulted in millions of casualties, often pointless deaths. In fact, Baal had on a one occasion blown up a system's star just to wipe out an enemy fleet. He knowingly killed sixty million people in the process. In short, the Goa'uld disgusted Harry. He wanted to see them dead. He'd have to start somewhere. And he could think of no better place than the Cancri System, the closest Goa'uld controlled planet to Earth. It was controlled by Apophis, gained from Ra after his death at Colonel O'Neill's hands. Its people weren't technologically advanced, but the point wasn't necessarily to liberate them. It was to send the Goa'uld a message Earth wasn't helpless anymore. This war would soon become an actual war, not the guerilla battles of the SGC. They'd all soon see the capabilities of the Goa'uld when faced with an equal enemy and not an underdog. Simultaneous attacks would be taking place as well, launched from the Galileo, Copernicus and the Einherjar. The two former ships had already been retrofitted with new technology including advanced shields, pulse beam weaponry and the latest complements of Calamities and Silhouettes.

For the sake of the mission, Repulse would be going alone. It needed a complete combat test to fully grasp its combat capabilities and the Einherjar or the Galileo would simply render that test ineffective. Besides, from simulations, the Repulse could easily take on several Hataks without succumbing to battle damage. Harry had little fear of losing his new ship, but had decided to tag along anyway. Marcus Argyle, newly promoted to Colonel, would be commanding the Einherjar in Harry's stead. Colonel Parker would command Copernicus and Colonel Nevis would command Galileo. Each ship would attack a different system with Einherjar striking the strongest one.

Without preamble Repulse took off into hyperspace, to the first battle of the First Goa'uld Human War.

(End Chapter)

SORRY EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that this chapter comes in about three months late. It's actually been sitting here on my computer for about that long too. I've actually been really busy, kind of surprising for a fourteen year old. Even though school is beyond boring for me, I haven't had time to write fan fiction for a long time. Instead, I've been working on another writing project… okay; seriously, try not to laugh, okay? That old 'Super Mysterious Project' of mine was actually my book. I wrote a science fiction book that I just finished recently. It's taken up a massive amount of my time but it really just wrote itself. Now, (try not to laugh too hard) I'm trying to get it published. Wow, that sounds so lame coming out of my fingers. I know that the chances of getting someone to read it are about as likely as me becoming ruler of the world… well, maybe not that unlikely. Probably, it's more likely that I'll get to have dinner with the President of the United States and subsequently shake hands with the leaders of all the Muslim nations than me getting this thing published. But, why not? I might get lucky. After all, I got lucky enough to have you guys read this thing so far, didn't I?

Government: Anywho, on to Fan Fiction matters. I've introduced the Terran Coalition of Nations. This is similar to the United Nations only every single nation is involved in one central government. It's similar to a Congress or Parliament with each President or Prime Minister becoming the Representative to the council. They form the Legislative branch of Government. Also, to determine the leader of the Coalition, a vote is taken between these representatives to appoint one of them to Prime Minister of the Coalition. This is called Representative Democracy. The people elect the Representative who then elects the Prime Minster. Technically, the people don't elect their leader. I know that sounds kind of bad but that's how it works. An election with six point five billion people involved would take forever and would have an enormous margin of error. So, there's no point. Also, Government is centered on Terrapin Station in geostationary orbit to prevent bias towards any one country.

Military: The militaries of every nation have been disbanded: every single one of them, every single soldier. Each man and woman is then given the option to return to the Coalition Army/Navy at their previous rank equivalent free of charge. This ensures that conscripts, like those from Korea and China, would not be forced into military service. Military service is to be completely voluntary but also ensures that no one loses their hard work by being reverted to a Lieutenant or a Private. In my mind, there would be a hell of a lot of volunteers for the 'Space Marines' and compulsory service wouldn't be necessary. The SGC is still in operation, sending through the SG-Teams as they normally would. However, they've received massive amounts of funding compared to what they usually have and now support thirty five Teams. Primary combat units are under the authority of the central government at Terrapin Station. They use the standard Battle Armor and are prepared to fight at any time. Please note that there is another Stargate on Terrapin Station, the Antarctic Gate. However, the SGC Gate is still the primary since a Space Station would be too easy to attack.

As a note, the Coalition Army has three combat divisions ready at any time. There would be more, but as said in the last chapter, Battle Armor is extremely time-taxing to create. As such, there are only about thirty thousand troops prepared for full combat. This does not include the Einherjar's men who are not officially a part of the Coalition. They are elites as denoted by their own custom Armor.

SG-13: The 13 Team is partially disbanded. Harry and Larry are both a part of the 66th Air Force Unit now, flying their Silhouettes wherever they want. Taylor Ellsinore and Samuel Black are leading the Official SG-13 out of the SGC with two other new guys who aren't important. Silas Gorton is working as an instructor, teaching SG-Team members how to competently use explosives on the battlefield. Nathan Bristow, Marcus Argyle and Joshua Phillips are all working on the Einherjar, commanding the crew however they want when Harry is away. Please note that this is what's been going on for the six month interlude and isn't how things are going to turn out. Something special is going to happen soon, something I don't think any of you are going to expect.

Alright, I've rambled long enough. I'll let you guys get back to whatever else you're doing. I'll TRY and get the next chapter up soon. I need reviews for inspiration.

Later,
