Only made some slight adjustments to this chapter, such as the names of the current councillors during the Cabal Incursion as I've made some mistakes such as Salarians have a short lifespan and make the current members appear in the next story which would set a few years ahead. keeping the current characters: Molari and G'Kar from B5 as to make it seems they just started their roles as ambassadors to their worlds, gotta have some petty arguments between them lol

Milky Way Galaxy, Wenua System, Gaia

An artificial planet created by the best scientific minds of Galvan Prime centuries ago as one of their earlier experiments of rebuilding worlds, was chosen as one of the core worlds for the Interstellar Commonwealth as many allied nations feel it would be a good idea for more then just one planet for pursuit of equality among each other, so they made three: Erde-Tyrene, Gaia and High Charity in hopes to build strong relations between civilizations and cultures in the Milky Way and beyond. Even though Gaia is a Core world of the Commonwealth it is one of the importance to the Galvan Union.

Gaia's population is estimated around 4 billion, while one of its moons: Crystal Dawn having and Juno serve as satellite bases for the combination of military, scientists, engineers for drones, ships of both military and civilian vessels as well for the safety of the inhabitants of the planet, being near the Gamma Quadrant and keeping an eye on any activities from their old foes, the Dominion even if things have been quiet for over two hundred years after the conflict. Learning to basic engineering of the ancient races for ideas of their own to improve lives for medical research, travel and better defense

"Is it true that the Cabal have been sighted in the Halo Galaxy?!" A Galvan Senator Nodric was aghast when he saw the ISN broadcasting the recent footage while having his morning breakfast, he among many had a lot of dislike towards the Cabal, especially for their part in the Iconian Wars and since after centuries of no Cabal presence he felt glad they were gone until now. Keeping his balance on the hover chair whilst speaking with the rest of the senate. It would no doubt cause panic throughout the known galaxy who know about them and the senate will have to do something about the situation of a possible second Cabal threat.

"I'm afraid so Senator Nodric, the reports from Eden Prime are true and have engaged them while aiding support to another faction they appear to be at war with." Ashley Harlett, a Tau'ri Senator sighed after receiving the news from her government. Although calm for a young senator but feared this would bring the Federation.

"It may be likely they've been invaded as the same way we had in the last conflict with the Cabal." A middle aged looking Jaffa suggested with a greying beard and bald with a gold emblem on his forehead. "No telling how much have changed since they left, we need to at least gather intelligence of their military strength and technological advancements."

"Who is in charge of the flotilia?" The Aid asked.

An officer looked through her pad for any data when she found it. "Merely led by the Captain K'rrel of the USN Fenri. The Eden Prime colonists and the rest of the frontier colonies were given permission to explore beyond the known sectors with the help of the governments of the Halo Galaxy. They may have been surprised to jump into a warzone between two factions. Seeing them again could mean they would eventually discover the colonies."

Nodric was still uneasy with the news that the Cabal would return in full force if they lower their guards. But knowing with a galaxy spanning coalition of nations would perhaps make a difference. "That we can agree at least with but only a matter of how and when, we only had a century of peace since the Covenant War. I doubt our old foes would be any different after 200 centuries, they are a brutal and imperialistic species bent on warfare like the Zentradi were back then. But our experiences with them would be different this time for sure."

"The Klingon Empire is stronger from our last battle with them. We must send aide to our allies in the frontier and the Halo Galaxy to put an end to the conflict before it spreads to our borders." K'ta, a female Klingon Senator proclaimed, agreeing with the Galvan to deal with the Cabal problem.

"As will the Sangheili Imperium, in the days of the Old Covenant we fought the enemy when they failed to claim several of our planets and colonies for the Forerunner relics but have failed." Ras' Momanee agreed with her, receiving a few nods from many former Covenant species, including the San 'Shyuum present.

"What of our allies? Have they been informed of the situation?"

"The Pegesus Coalition is unlikely to spare most of their military forces while negotiation a peace treaty between the Genii Confederation and the Wraith Alliance in the Pegasus Galaxy." The Talarian Admiral reported "But are willing to send a small taskforce and humanitarian aide, Atlantis is on high alert should any forces invade their home galaxy. For the High Foundation, they are willing to send a few available trained Vanguards and fireteams to search for any more Cabal military presence in the Halo Galaxy to and take care of them."

"And the United Andromeda Systems would not be of help with fixing the mess in Andromeda, so they would not be able to offer their help." A Saurian Starfleet officer included.

"Wait a minute, should we really go to war with them?" Lepex, a Ferengi senator spoke to earn their attentions. "We are talking about another galaxy we know so little, when a hundred years ago, most of the Milky Way was at war that was almost as bad as the Iconian Wars and barely recovered in the last few years. Should the majority Milky Way truly pour their resources against an enemy so far in another galaxy?" Trying to make some sense of the current situation they were in and most of all avoid starting up another war some don't want to be involved.

"Many of us have colonies in that galaxy and they have limited military fleets to protect them at the moment. And when they remember us, they will certainly come for us. Most of our new allies have yet to recover from the last war they barely survived." Ashley pointed out to the Ferengi with a calm response to avoid falling into an argument over the subject.

"Some of us have none in that galaxy and don't want to draw unwanted attentions like those oversize beasts that could tear a humanoid like a toothpick." He said. "Least we could do so far is to sent the Vanguards or our allies to assist tehm."

Before the tension between both sides would stir, hand touched Lepex's shoulder, turned his head to see a tall reptilian humanoid with pale green skin and long green hair, recognizing his species as a Vampire with a snake-like tail in place of legs.

"Perhaps in my fellow colleague's place I could speak on behalf of the majority of the members of the Lucien Alliance?" The Vampire spoke in a soft tone and waited patiently for their response.

The Commonwealth members looked at each other to decide if he was granted permission and Nodric spoke. "Very well then, uhh… my apologies, I have not had the courtesy of knowing your name."

The Vampire gave a charming smile and bowed his head. "I am Lasoroth, recently elected member of the Lucien Council by my government. But it is I who should apologies on behalf of senator Lepex's rational behavior, which shouldn't be at fault for thinking of his people's well being as we all should. I for one on behalf of the Alliance feel we should send our available forces bring the Cabal invasion to a swift end until they submit to our terms. And in hopes to show improvements and bring an end to this feud between our two governments, especially towards the Federation if one day we are with the rest of the galactic community." Turns his gaze to the Tau'ri with a stunned expression on her face.

Hearing these words from the Vampire it was surprise to them, knowing for centuries both the Federation and the Lucien Alliance had a long mixed relation that usually involved minor conflicts and cold wars since the fall of the Goa'uld Empire, even though that the two had helped one another it usually limited.

"You're government is willing to offer it's fleets to assist us, senator?" Ashley asked to be sure she and many heard it right.

"Seeing as how you helped us in the past, I and few feel we owe you one. But I am confident that this situation, will not entirely last long with our combined forces and this possible new ally they assisted." Earning a few surprised and shocked looks from a few, especially from his allies of his words. Some had taken in some thought of what he was on about, the Cabal are a military warrior civilization and have taken part in the Iconian War, uncertain if they can travel between galaxies with upgraded technology it would only be matter of time if they start another galactic scale war.

"Does the rest of the Alliance agree to this?" Nodric asked for any who either want nothing to do with or agree.

"Seeing as we can spare a few to end this conflict as soon as possible, we will. But, we can't promise a large support when in need of looking out for our own." One of the LA ambassadors spoke out to make certain they understood their positions in this war.

"Any alien races we come across who are either refugees we will offer a humanitarian aid for them and offer a safe passage to our territories or safe return to theirs, which ever we can provide. And will also allow our allies entry through the gate, especially for the Lucian Alliance." The Admiral offered in suggestion of the rules of military combat and offer. Accepting their offer for all the help they can afford to assist the Halo colonies factions.

The Female Tau'ri nodded her head. "That we can accept and thank you for the support. And to you Senator Lasoroth, it came at a surprise that you wish to offer military support."

Many had voted for war against the Cabal and sending some of their strongest and available fleets the new galaxy to end the threat for good and possibly drive the invading empire out of the galaxy.

"How can you just agree to them like that without consulting the council? The last thing any of us want is another war with a threat like the damn Cabal after we've recently recovered from the last one." Lepex was having his large ears massaged by a female servant to keep his mind at ease from the stress while the Vampire slithered to his desk and taken his seat, having the windows closed to little of light due to his species' sensitivity to sunlight. "When word gets back to our governments about this, not everyone will be happy. I need a drink, before news reaches back to Ferenginar and all will be in panic. Yeah, just about there."

"We will not need to worry about the economy my friend, but some like you are not seeing the picture." Lasoroth sighed, knowing he was not getting through to the Ferengi as trying to teach a dog a new trick. "Allow me to give you the full details. Since the end of that Cybertronian Civil War, the Autobots offered to share their Space Bridge technology for faster travels between galaxies. Our best scientists have successfully reversed engineered the technology from the ancient war with s one of our own." Pushing his finger softly on the table surface, a small projection of what appears to be a gate.

Lepex leant forward to get a closer look of the hologram, observing closely to the projection and was in awe of what he was seeing. "You mean they created one of their own?" Shrugging the woman off and told her to leave the room between the two, not wanting anyone to know of this for secrecy.

Lasoroth proceeded with them now alone. "Actually, our expedition forces discovered this device in the Comeer Tahl Sector. According to their findings, it is thousands of years old, maybe much older. Almost presumed to be one of those space bridges the Cybertronians use, but the technology is much different compared to theirs. But for our main topic, this war will give our respective governments the opportunity to expand and seek out new potential allies." Explaining this to his colleague. "And there are three things you should know and given the reason for it. The First; is that during the great Iconian War, also by the popular name given by the High Foundation, the War of Darkness, our governments had almost came close to another full scale war with the Federation, the Romulan Republic and the Klingon Empire had we not discovered spies within our Alliance with the help of our neighbors, we would've put the blame on them." Giving his reason from the first.

"You do make a point on that one I guess." Lepex reluctantly agreed, then curious to know the last two reasons from Lasoroth. "What's the other two?"

The green haired senator gave a small smile that caught his attention before letting out a short chuckle. "The two, and most important reasons, or basic rules of all that even your people would entirely agree, the 34th and 35th Rules of Acquisitions: peace is good for business… And also war. So if we sent our forces into the Halo galaxy, we will not only gain their favor, but also have at least a foothold of some of the planets in another galaxy, there are many who would give an arm for such technology and resources we have."

"So that's the reason for all that, to find new potential goods and business in a new region of space, and I'm guessing the Cabal have been some sort of thing we needed for this little charade." He was quite impressed by the plan made by the Vampire.

Lasoroth shrugged his shoulders. "That and most of all, we cannot afford to have another war such as our enemies with the majority of the galaxy we live in can finally enjoy the moment of peace. It is better to strike first while they are distracted." Given his reasons and unable to risk allowing an extra galactic threat like the Cabal or anything else invade their systems without them knowing it.

"That, I would perhaps agree. Can't do business if those oversize walking tanks march about in the galaxy with no one to defend us. And I almost thought you were out of your mind for being only the world of politics, but I can see you have some potential." Giving him the toothy smile to show his compliment, leaves his chair and proceeds to leave the room. "If this works you would certainly build a reputation, especially many among the Greater Vampire Freehold. I have a feeling this will be a beginning of a new era for the Alliance. Or up in flames if we make one wrong move, but I have high hopes."

Lasoroth merely chuckled at his words of trying to be all cheery, tapping his fingers on the table to bring up a few images of some artifacts once the Ferengi left; the gate, and a large tuning fork shaped structure, leaving him alone in his office and smiles to himself. Finding how easy it felt to gain his trust over some suggestions. "Oh, trust me. It's certainly will be."

Halo Galaxy, Serpant Nebula, Widow System

In the heart of the Citadel Council, located within the nebula the immense deep-space station with five long appendages serves as the capital and voice of the political and cultural communities for numerous races to co-exist. The Council races were in a state of crisis for months ever since the Batarians made first contact with a new species called the Cabal and they openly provoked them. Although at first the Batarian ambassador tried to falsely accuse them of firing the first shot when they tried to 'openly welcome' them into their community, but the survivors of the disastrous incident who were saved by a Commander of the Shadow Sun, who spoke out that it was THEY who opened the first shot on them to hopefully enslave the so-called new comers but the plan ultimately backfired on them and for that, the Hegemony suffered the most then the others.

Although the Asari tried to bring them into a peaceful negotiations due to their natural gifts and long years of wisdom, the Cabal and their client races would not back down and slowly breaching into their territories. It was becoming a dark day for the Council.

"With the enemy forces divided, they appear to be attacking the colonies and military bases in the both the Outer inner Council Space. Fortunately they have not used any of the mass relays which have slowed down their process and give us the advantage." Councillor Alann, a Salarian Council member who had been researching the Cabal attacks and invasions while became very fascinated by their technology, completely unreliable to Element Zero and the abilities these Psions posses from studies on the captured POWs to know more about the enemy. They successfully found information of the three different species; the Cabal military caste are divided some ancient empire to rebuild and they arrived from another galaxy which shocked the very foundation of their scientific belief of life travelling through dark space. Barely understanding the basics of their technology due to their heavy reliance on technology from another race but they could not afford to luxury of time.

"I wouldn't underestimate them so easily, Alann. They might be holding back and we can't afford to let our guard down. According to reports, they seem to have less interest in the Prothean relics but taken some with them for reasons they have yet to know." The Turian Councilor Falterius gave his statement of the plan. Disappointed when they failed to learn what the Cabal were up to at this point, he didn't like it one bit. "We only won a few victories but the Cabal are strong and clever. The fleets wont hold them off for long to reclaim the planets they taken as their strongholds against us, we need to strike where the heart is."

The Asari Councilor, Tevos remained quiet for a while and spoke out. It was confusing of what was their goal in all this, why would they attack a few planets that they have less interest "Goddess, if only a miracle were to-" She was cut off when a Salarian officer and two more followed behind him as they approached the council with urgent news.

"Councilors, apologies for interruptions. Receiving report that the Aevanna colony is under siege."

The news did not bold well for the council of this. "Aevanna?! They are that close?" Tevos knew there were relics of on the planet of great importance for archeological studies. Another concern was the colonists on the planet and hopes there were any survivors to be saved from the crisis.

"Not to worry I've received contact from the Primarchs they are already sending a fleet to assist them." Falterius informed her, giving her time to relief herself before turning to the Salarian to allow him to proceed with his report.

"Basically over an hour standard time, they were holding their grounds against the Cabal to evacuate the colonists, a small fleet of unknown ships appeared in the system and launched a strike on the enemy ships. We have received a small recording of the battle and their recent arrival." Bringing up his omni-tool, a common device used throughout the galaxy for multiple purposes, tapping his fingers on the gold colored hologram to show them the footage through one of the ships' recordings. The image showed the fleet putting up a fight with the Cabal near the planet when at the corner of the screen, multiple bright lights lid up then vanished in the blackness, in their place were a fleet of ships no one had ever seen before, there were large ships, possibly dreadnaughts but difficult to tell from the distance from the screen and what happened next the unique looking ships opened fire on the Cabal who instantly returned the gesture. Fighters from the fleet swooped in the battle ad converged on the enemy with incredible fire power. The three Councilors were stunned by this information, the technology and the weapons they possess seems more advanced then theirs and easily match against the Cabal. There were no signs of any attacks on theirs', which means either they were either giving support or ignoring them until they know more.

Tevos was overcoming her state of shock and first to speak up. "Was there any further reports of this, this new species seems to be incredibly advance."

"Highly advance, indeed. The technology they possess could be something we never come across before. And it seems by what we just witness, these new comers must be an enemy to the Cabal after instantly open fire on their ships." Alann concluded, he was so focused on their fighters, clearly much faster and more equipped to survive in space.

"That is all we had for now, General Kortenrill is currently in command of the situation. We will need to know more until reinforcements arrive." The Salarian STC said to his superiors.

Falterius turned to his colleagues. "If they are an enemy of the Cabal, they could be a valuable ally we need to bring these beasts to justice. We must try to find them in hopes they lend support for us."

"If they are willing to." The two councilors turned to Alann of his statement on the subject. He turned to them to give his reason. "Forgive me if I am trying to ruin the moment in our dire need to win this war, but only being a realist. We know absolutely nothing of this new race, their culture or where they come from. They may have just barely survived their war against them or perhaps a rival to compete against them for territories. Information is required before we approach them directly or if the General has made direct contact with them."

Giving them some thought of his theories, it indeed made sense to them and needed to know them before a decision is to be made. "I agree with Alann on this, if we are to approach them we need to find out more about these newcomers and until then we will hear from our forces on Aevanna when our reinforcements arrive to assist them." Falterius agreed and wanted to know about them if they'd be a potential ally or threat to the galactic community, going for the latter in their time of crisis to gain an advantage over the enemy.

Tevos nodded. "As do I, in high hopes we form good relations to them and welcome them to the galactic community. In the meantime we need to make certain the fleet in the serpant Nebula are on high alert for any signs of the Cabal forces or some other faction out there that may try anything." All three made their decision and voted, wishing for the future if they succeed in Cabal Incursion. Already a news channel was going live about this footage, there will be many questions about them and what could be the future of the galaxy if this war expands.

Utopia Sysstem, Eden Prime

All the ambassadors from the League worlds, Centauri Republic and Narn Regime gathered in the Council Chambers to discuss the situation after watching the news of a hostile race the Commonewealth is familiar with. Gathered in the room and talking about the same subject until the representatives of the main powers entered and took their seats before the rest followed. Aleska was present alongside with Relorn, a reptilian Silurian male, the Unggoy ambassador Tupnib wearing a methane tank strapped to his back and Enchyis, a Skorr female ambassador wearing only a traditional sash around her sat before them.

"Thank you all for coming and we are fully aware that you have questions." The Silurian ambassador spoke when taking her seat.

"Yes, as I do." Londo stood up to speak up. "Everyone was panicking as if the entire universe was coming to an end. My government demands to know and yours seems to know them very well to start a war, and by right to demand answers."

"Maybe they're someone your government tried to enslave but failed, and now come back for a revenge." Londo turned and glared at his rival, G'Kar, Narn ambassador and Third Circle of the Narn Regime, whom he had loathed and despised since the day they met and both arrived on Eden Prime to represent their governments. Accusing his people was among his traits of making the Centauri the evil conquerors after enslaving the Narns a century ago.

Could not let it stand by and defended himself. "Bah! That is a lie, perhaps it was you Narns who hired them and played as the victims! The Centauri never met or heard of this species, for they came from beyond the rim!" Both ambassadors started exchanging arguments of who was to blame until it a member of the Non-Aligned Worlds stood up to end this.

"Enough of this debate, the Commonwealth surely seems familiar with this race and what they are doing in this crisis." The Abbai ambassador requested for she surely wanted answers as the rest of the council.

Aleska nodded her head to her in appreciation of calming the two. "Thank you ambassador, and yes. We are very familiar with this race and all questions will be answered as we possibly can. They are called the Cabal, 200 years ago when our galaxy was almost in a time of crisis, the Cabal were among many to participated in the Iconian war and later on vanished before we could know where their base of operations were." Displaying a hologram for the council members to see for themselves of what the alien looked like, they were shocked of how huge a single individual was, even its face was unpleasant.

Tupnib took his turn to speak of this race. "The next one before you is a different species known as the Psions, from what they are told, the Psions are powerful psionic species that serve as a client race to the Cabal, they are dangerous and powerful enough to take on a Vanguard and could easily overpower most of the telepaths from you respective home worlds."

"What we know about them, is they run an industrial, militaristic empire if there is one at some point. We basically know they conquer new territories and destroy those anyone and anything that gets in their way. Their origins are unknown and surprised to find them out here in the Halo galaxy." Relorn explained on the basic knowledge about them.

"Just how powerful are they? And what way can we defend ourselves." A Drazi gave his question before many joined in.

"Enough to lay waste to an entire planet for resources they find useful. They divide their armies into legions for military purposes and their own goals. There are also some client races they allow into military service, either conquered or joined willingly such as most species of Kig-Yar we recognise; Pirates or mercenaries."

The Skorr shook her head with a grim expression. "I'm afraid none of your governments wont put much of an event due to their greater technological and military advantages. Many of your are still recovering from the Dilgar invasion." Stating the fact as it's only been over a decade or so as Enchyis understood that the League worlds barely survived had it not been for the Commonwealth's intervention, if any of the Cabal legions were to arrive upon their worlds it would be disastrous for them.

Continuing her talk before they could lose hope. "But you would not need to loose hope, already a fleet is on its way to offer assistance to both our frontier worlds and yours. We had fought them before centuries ago and have a clear advantage this time." They can see some of the ambassadors feeling more relieved to hear this and hope they arrive in time.

Aleska took her turn. "Our governments are more technological advance and can offer assistance and available resources should the time if the Cabal invade our territories. All the data we have on them will be immediately transferred to you for your government officials to look over so they be ready. If any of your ships or military units are considered willing to take part in the fight, it be wise they know their enemies and go a few combat simulations."

The League members took some thought, taking their time to think this through for the safety of their people. Only Londo and G'Kar remained quiet while they do is mutter, discuss and argue to one another until they fully reached the decision. "We come to a mutuel decision and seeing that the majority of the Non-Aligned Worlds could afford to spare any of their available fleets to defend our respective territories, a handful will be able to and allow some of our people to gather intel and learn from our allies. We hope you can understand that we could've abel to afford to spare any more to return the debt we owe you for your part in the Dilgar War but all we can do is try and focus on what we can do for ourselves." The Gaim spoke on their behalf.

The Commonwealth representatives understood their decisions, least they are offering to spare few which would be fair as the Commonwealth will be sending their own from their home galaxy. "We will respect your decision ambassador. And what of the Centauri Republic and the Narn Regime?" They turned to the two who represent the strongest powers-aside from the Commonwealth to hear their answers.

Lonod cleared his throat and rose from his seat. "Due to the Republic had not taken any part in the war and not suffered any casualties, and as we have voted to earn a membership in the Interstellar Commonwealth. You will be pleased that I vote, yes. But, we can only send a small fleet and require all data provided from your governments of these vile monstrosities."

They smiled and nodded on his request. "As we promised, they will receive all the help we can. And Ambassador G'Kar?"

"For your help of restoring the Narn Homeworld to it's natural beauty before it was stripped bare in our occupation, my people can now think of a bright future and owe it all to your Commonwealth. My government have seen the actions of these Cabal and fear they will come to our world and do much worst." A moment of silence from G'Kar before looking at them with his red eyes. "We will offer you our support."

The battle was raging on and shifted in their favor upon the arrival of the Commonwealth, the Valkyries, Nightmare Plus were giving it their all on the Cabal and Covenant-tech star fighters while half of the frigates and cruisers surrounded the Dreadnaught classes as they come more closer in range of the battlefield. A squad of Messiah-class fighters in formation

"This is Silver 5, leading Raptor Squad for heavy assault on the target ship." A human male pilot reported.

"Roger that, we'll take on the other. Give them hell." Silver 5 smiles and switch comm to his squad mates. "Alright folks, lets switch to Battroid mode and show them how much we missed them." Hearing a lot of the pilots eagerly agreeing and increased power to the thrusters, steering the fighters deep within enemy fleet and transformed into bipedal humanoid-shaped machines. Some entered the open hanger bay, surprising the crew present and started destroying their ships.

"Looks like we caught them with their pants down fellas." A female Andorian smiled.

"Yeah, keep them busy while Coyote hacks into their systems."

While taking on the damage, the AI left his Exo body and hacks into their network to find anything they know what the Cabal are doing and any secrets to exploit. It was easy to stay out of their security systems and firewalls, even if they knew something was up it would only pass by as a minor nuisance. All he could find was only co-ordinates and list of astronomical objects such as planets, colonies, stations they attacked and all from the Citadel. Now something had caught his attention and tried to open it up, much to his reluctant to admit, they did an impressive job of keeping this all tight up but nothing any smart AI can't do.

"Almost done, seems they've been very busy and yet… something doesn't seem right-"

"Sorry Coyote, but you better get out of there. We're to regroup with the fleet fast." The AI was reluctant but soon knew the Cabal would know he was inside their systems and try to delete him. Take in much data he found and returned to his body to inform his superiors what he learn and something they were hiding. The Messiahs transformed back into their jet fighter modes and flew out of the ship to fall back to the fleet.

Palaven's Light

Though the Cabal may be strong and merciless to the weak, the Turians and Krogans ironically seem to admire their tactics and learnt that any attempt to make them surrender with rare moments of winning, the word is meaningless to the behemoths for they would die fighting to the end. Many fear for the Cabal Incursion to be as bad as the Krogan Rebellions.

For this new group of space faring races, the Interstellar Commonwealth as they call themselves would've easily been assumed to be a new upstart race but clearly have more experience in space travel and have seen multiple species, which means they are a galactic community of species like the Citadel Council. With the tides of battle now in favor of the Citadel to take protect Aevanna since the arrival of another new faction arrived and assaulted on the Cabal. Amazed by their advance and alien technology they posses.

Both sides now giving it their all to push the invading fleet back but the Cabal seem to be relentless, refusing to back down.

Kortenrill remained where he was as it was his duty to ensure the safety of the crew and colonists safely away from the battlefield. "What's the status on the colony?" Wanting to know what is happening on the planet and hope for good results.

"So far things seem to be going well for our side, the Cabal are being pushed back, slowly but giving the ground forces and colonists some perimeter with the help of the aliens helping us. Two enemy ships are down. They're merging their units with ours." The officer responded. "We have visual of one of the sectors, General."

"Show it to me." It would help on his report of how these aliens fight in military combat and any tactics could be of some use for the Hierarchy and the Council to know more about them. The first thing they saw through the holograms were the Commonwealth soldiers assisting the Citadel troops to take down the Cabal Legionnaires using more advance weapons.

The next one revealed the Kig-Yar and Psions assaulting upon the troops, he despised their cowardly tactics, especially to the carnivorous beasts for what they do to their 'prey'. What came unexpected was seeing a group of strange looking individuals possibly belonging to the Commonwealth charged in and delivered a shower of bright energy orbs upon the surprised attackers. Others wield unique weapons and used that energy to channel through them.

The crew present were surprised what they did, questions of what they are and how did they that. It even baffled the Asari for they were naturally more skilled in the biotics to see such abilities more powerful then the Spectres could manifest.

His curiosity about them was crying out to know about them and so would the Council should these new arrivals be a potential ally to bring an end to this bloody war. "Sir, receiving hail from the commonwealth ship."

The image of K'rrel projected before him. "General, I apologies for such a random request, but we need most of your ships to move out of firing range from ours. We're preparing to launch an attack on the enemy forces to break fleet's spine."

"With respect Captain, despite my thanks for your aide in this battle but why do we need to do that?" The Turian was confused and was still skeptic of what they were up to.

The Catian only gave a small toothy grin with what he was hiding. "Trust me, it will blow your minds." The communications ended with the crew slightly confused of what they had in mind. Hoping to earn their trust if this works. Ordering the ships to move out of their firing position to avoid cross fire. The Turian was waiting for what was happening until his helm officer alerted him of something happening from the Commonwealth ships, the Dreadnoughts and cruisers took some sort of formation and pointing towards the Cabal warships. Once all their ships were out of firing range, next took their breath away after bright beams of light speared into their hull plating. Only three heavy warships took major damage and slowly engulfed in vast explosions.

"By the Spirits!" Never before that any soldier had ever seen such fire power until today, seeing three out of six warships destroyed and another taken heavy hits from both their fighters and heavy bombardment. The crew cheered to see their enemies loose the battle. Turns to his crew. "Alright enough cheering, we got a planet to defend and take out the rest of those bastards! If any survive we take them in interrogation. We still have a war finish people!" Making certain they stay focus, he would want to take a look at one of those incredible ships and meet the crew who helped them out personally and offer their gratitude.

It was not looking good for the Cabal, not only have their old enemies found their way in another galaxy but have taken out nearly half of their fleet. They could not afford to lose this battle, but at least they will have a glorious battle to die for the Empire. "Primus, a message to all Legions in the galaxy, all selected fleets are to fall back immediately and converge for the ultimate strike. We are among those to begin the assault." A Kig-Yar reported through the holographic screen.

"Activate the Splistream-Drive, it is time we begin our final assault. Alert the fleet that our enemies have returned, we may now have more worthy foe to battle!" Giving his order, taking some hits from both sides, they roared in setting up the FTL engines to leave. Knowing they would be abandoning their soldiers on the planet, but they knew it was for the greater good of the mission and prepare the greatest war they will ever face.

The Cabal fleet suddenly ceased all firing and turned to one direction, before the two factions could take the chance to finish them off, multiple bright swirling pink vortexes open and pulled each ship in then vanished before their eyes.

Captain's log:

When we arrived in a new star system, no one had never realised we run into one of our old enemies back in the Iconian War who laid waste to many planets. It was difficult when the Federation was facing multiple fronts but they were pushed back and vanished. Until today, but this time they invaded the Halo Galaxy and making a path into a galactic civilization that had the unfortunate to get in their. Eventually the Commonwealth and our allies will have to deal with them in the near future. Their technology may have advanced a little with the assistance of former Covenant races that seem to have offered themselves for their services for personal gain.

I feel something isn't right, this battle seems too easy when we arrived and easily turned the tables on them when offered our help to the Citadel races. I'll know more on my next report. But I'm certain the new Messiahs will make a good light show if they bring those here.

End log.

Codex Entry:

Telepathy:

Psionic powers is often dictated by a certain life form's biological structure and makeup, where as several species for are known to developed this power natural, such as the Humans, Betazoids, Anodite, Vulcans, Wraith, Psions, Ocampa, Kzinti, Medusans, the Melkot, Undine, Zerg and also Protoss. While more are cataloged for this ability but have also reached a higher state of their evolution and ascension to abandon their corporeal forms at this point. (Subjects of these will be in elsewhere in the codex)

Individuals with psychic abilities would be able to access to various possibilities with their minds. It is easily common knowledge for many civilizations of certain tiers to have a percentage of their species to posses the psionic ability to some level of their capability of controlling this power using their minds to tap into the paranormal phenomonon. The galactic powers of the Milky Way have allowed the High Foundation and other branches in the Commonwealth planets for gifted individuals to learn control their abilities, Vanguards are certainly among those that serve as the peacekeepers alongside the military.

It is considered very rare in both the Pegasus and Andromeda, but in the charted region of the Halo galaxy, there are a dozen species with small percentage of their population who have telepathic abilities, but so far only able to influence a person's mind. The Centauri seem to have a guild for those with telepathy and even so far as to have 'visions' such as how they would die for example.

The Abbai could only able to read another's emotions. Strangely, the Narn seem to be the only race to have none for nearly a millennia. In a short few years, only a handful of individuals from the Halo had offered to join the High Foundation to learn the ways of the Vanguards. Both the Council and Commonwealth Intelligence had been curious when some research shows that the telepathic gene and fable histories from many of the Halo races seem to have something in common and yet to understand what, further studies is needed to find out more.

Variable Fighters:

Fighter-class ships in the fleet to handle aerospace combats. Accepted widely in the Federation and also for Commonwealth military purposes. Based on the Fighter Jets from Erde-Tyrene's 20th and early 21st centuries, engineers have been making new designs for faster fighters to withstand the zero-gravigty in space. EVen so far as to make them switch between three different modes to enable pilots to combat against hostiles in alien environments and space combat: Fighter-mode, Gerwalk and Battroid. The idea of transformable fighters were inspired on the transformers' ability but were constructed by different use of technologies discovered sometime around the 23rd century.

Space Bridge:

A technology used by the Tranformers to travel from one point to other side of the gate, much similar to the Stargate but mostly different, they had been used throughout the galaxy for their long lasting war until it finally came to an end. It was the discover of these devices that could allow interstellar races to be able to travel beyond the galaxy much quicker with the Autobots' limited knowledge about them. Also the fact that influenced the expansion to nearby galaxies. So far only a few have been found an barely functional so they had to be rebuilt for study.

Happy Easter! Apologies for the delay, took longer then I thought with some work to do. it was something I was thinking of what to make for a type of chapter and hope you like and any suggestions or ideas for the Gundam Seed series part I have planned from the original I'm all ears, wanting to making something different from the canon. If there suggestions of making better space battles that would help so I know to avoid mistakes in the future.

To help know some of the characters, I based the Silurian from the classics to avoid confusion between them and the Homo Reptila counterparts. And the Vampires are an alien race from the Roswell conspiracies if anyone's familiar with the show. Anyway, enjoy the chapter folks!
