A/N: The mech mentioned here will be heavily inspired from Titanfall, because Stellaris doesn't provide pictures so the design will be like the Titans from Titanfall 2. Also, the Full-Body Armor will be just like the Spartans from Halo, except the helmet will be round, the visor is a clear pane of glass, and the color of the armor will be black.

Again, I'm sorry that the designs are taken from other franchises but Stellaris doesn't focus on land combat that much. Except for one small photo of a soldier in the research tab, that's it. I don't know if there are more pictures but if you know pm me, please.

Geneva, Presidential Building.

Lucas Korninger, the President of the UNE is going to conduct a speech in front of the press today. Outside hundreds of reporters and camera crews from different news networks gather to broadcast his speech to all the worlds under the UNE as well to ask a few questions. Lucas's previous speech was not a formal one, it's some sort of emergency speech in order to reassure the population and inform them about the current situation as well as basic information.

But now, he's about to give a formal speech about the subject. As he walks to the podium tens and hundreds of camera flashes fills the room, he takes positions behind the podium and waits for the camera flashes to cease. His speech is being broadcasted throughout UNE controlled space and planets, he has to assert the UNE's authority over the subject and reassures the populace that the situation is under control. "Citizens of the UNE, 2 Days ago the planet of Zarqon Prime, the city of Zarkin is attacked by forces of an unknown nation. Hundreds of civilians are killed and thousands are injured in the attack, this is considered as an informal declaration of war against the UNE."

Several cameras flashes across the room. "The way they bypassed the planetary threat detection system, is by using an interdimensional gate that has suddenly appeared in the commercial district in the city of Zarkin. Caught off guard, the planetary garrison cannot immediately deploy soldiers to end the attack as soon as it started. Even so, police forces in the area have delayed their march and killings until the planetary guards arrived.

Survivors of the enemy army have been considered as prisoners of war, and we will start interrogation in order to gain useful information about the enemy." Whispers of news reporters echoed throughout the room. "But fear not, we will not act harshly to these prisoners as they are the same to us. Humans." Lucas finished his speech, now he needs to answer some questions. "For those who have questions you can ask them now." As soon as he finished hands are thrown into the air as reporters desperately trying to get his attention and answer their questions.

Lucas points at a woman. "Mr. President! What will the UNE in retaliation?" The woman reporter asked.

"We plan on an invasion of the enemy nation and gather those responsible, but we are still considering it."

He points to a man. "Mr. President! Is the planet beyond within our galaxy?"

"That's a great question, we still don't know the location of the planet beyond but once we conduct reconnaissance and make sure the other side is safe, we may send a team to construct a beacon." Suddenly, Lucas has a massive headache on his right head. "I'm sorry but I can't answer any further questions." He said into the mic and quickly walks to the back with his hands gripping at his massive headache.

Zarkin, POW Holding Center.

The UNE has never done anything like this ever before, capturing and interrogating other sentient species is a new concept to them. The UNE and its people have always been very friendly to other sentient species and swore to protect them from outside threats, and now the officers have to conduct interrogations on sentient species. Lucas Korninger also hated this decision, but there's no other choice to gather information on the enemy that informally declared war on the UNE.

Surprisingly, and the weirdest part of the interrogation Is they're interrogating Humans or nearly Humans. It is clear that the ones attacked them are also Humans, with several other unknown species of Humanoids. The Humanoids vary in different species, starting from Pigmen, Orcs, Goblins, and Trolls. All are creatures from Fantasy. It brings more questions than answers, Scientists are confused and fabled by the amount of different Sentient Species on the other side of the Gate. For the last 120 years, there has never been a planet where there are multiple sentient species living on the planet.

The Central Division for Interrogation and Intelligence (CDII) Is called in for the interrogation of captured soldiers and several "Demi-Humans" The soldiers and officers of the enemy nation call the Humanoids. The CDII sent some of their best interrogators after knowing that the prisoners can be a little resilient, or mentally insane. It seems their civilizations have not advanced enough to drop the concept of pride and honor, bows and arrows, and Roman technology. After several translation efforts, they have enough words translated to begin the interrogation. and now, 2 days later. The interrogations begin.

Name: Lucius Vitruvius Scipio

Rank: Imperial Soldier

Begin Audio:

(Kenton Rukarti enters the room and sat down across Lucius)

"Lucius Vitruvius Scipio, am I correct?" Kenton asked in the native language.

"Yes, whe- where am I?" Lucius asked.

"You are inside our prison, now I only need information. Can you provide that?"

"No! I am an Imperial Soldier, I will not reveal any information to the enemy or my pride will be taken!"

(Kenton stands up from his chair and began smoking a cigarette)

"Lucius, tell me. What do pride and honor mean to you?"

"Well… What Pride and honor mean to me is something I cannot lose, if I lose it then I can no longer live."

"Does pride and honor going to save you in a life-threatening situation?"

"Umm… N-"

"Does pride and honor ever going to save you from being stabbed in the stomach?"

"N-no!"

"Then why are you still clinging on to the concept?"

(Kenton notices something, Lucius is a rather young soldier. Around 17 to 18 years old.)

"B-b-because, I was told that if I lose my pride and honor, I'm worth nothing anymore."

(Kenton puts out his cigarette)

"I'll show you what happens to the Imperial Soldiers who won't cooperate with us who still clinging on to their Pride and Honor."

(The room turns pitch black as Kenton is no longer visible by Lucius)

"W-what are you doing!?" A bright light suddenly appears in front of him, it shows an Imperial Soldiers with men similar to Kenton surrounding the soldier.

The soldier struggles to get out of the chair. "NO! I WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING!" The soldier yelled as he yelled one of the men in black brings in some sort of device. He strapped the device onto the Imperial soldier, in a push of a button the soldier is being electrocuted. The screen changes to another room with the same view, an Imperial soldier surrounded by men-in-black. Each one shows a horrific and terrifying way of interrogations. Such ass pulling fingernails using pliers or beating the soldier over and over again. Each room shows a different way of the enemy getting information using force.

After several other recordings are shown, the room began to lit up again with light. "So? Do you want to keep on to your pride, honor and share the same fate as your fellow soldiers? Or you cooperate?"

Lucius, after seeing the many different possible tortures these men can make him go through finally realize that his life is more important than worthless pride. "Y-yes, I will cooperate."

Interrogation Stage 1 Results:

Success (The Subject Agrees to Cooperate by Using Generated Images of Soldiers Being Tortured to Convince Him)

The UNE uses a 3 Stage system for Interrogation. Stage 1 is convincing the subject to cooperate with them and provide information without forcing the subject, stage 2 is to gather information with the now cooperative subject, stage 3 is either freedom or extermination. The UNE uses this method to increase the public reputation and other peaceful galactic civilization, the third stage is decided when there's enough evidence that the subject is not useful anymore or not heavily influence the enemy nation politics.

So far it has been successful, the public eye doesn't concern the interrogation method nor does all Allied Galactic Civilizations.

Name: Hidana

Race: Warrior Bunny

Begin Audio:

(Kenton enters the room)

"Hello Hidana."

"Wh-who are you? What are you going to do to me?"

(Kenton sat across Hidana, and lit up a cigarette.)

"I'm not going to do anything to you, we only need information."

"Information? Yes! I can provide information only if you don't do anything to me!"

"We won't do anything to you, now." Kenton put out his cigarette. "Can you tell us something about your pass, I can see that you are very distressed. Can you tell us what's causing that?"

Hidana seemed to have calmed down. "I am from a warrior bunny tribe in the north of Falmart, one day the Empire launched an invasion that resulted in the destruction of my land and people. Our queen even defected and sided with the Empire, we're all scattered around the continent. Those like me, who are unfortunate enough to not escape are used as playthings and a sex slave."

*Jazz Music Stops*

"Wait… What did you say?"

"We the warrior bunnies are mostly used as playthings and sex slaves, aren't you familiar with it?"

"Hidana, can you tell us more about the Slaves in Falmart?"

"Um- yes. Sometimes women and men are too poor and they are turned to slaves by the lords or the nobles from the Empire." Hidana clenches her fist. "It's us Demi-Humans who suffers the most, we are seen as ants and they always stomp us and put us under them. Men who become slaves are to work in the mines, for women they become sex slaves and playthings for nobles and their owners."

Kenton rubbed his face; he can't believe that the Empire still uses Slaves. "Thank you Hidana, you can return to your cell."

Interrogation Stage 2 Results:

Success

Slavery, this horrible concept has been abolished by Earth's nations 2,5 centuries ago. History has taught us that slavery only worsens the economy, not to mention the humanity and morals are thrown out the window. So, to hear that slavery is still done across the gate, the people were outraged. Saying that "We should nuke them to oblivion!" Or "Gas them for what they have done!" But the government know that they can't do that. The UNE has always treated other sentient species equally, They're Egalitarians! And it's no different to the people beyond the gate. Just because they practice slavery doesn't mean we have to eradicate their entire civilization from the universe, we can change their ways of life and prevent any more slavery or even abolish it from their civilizations.

Besides, we're not a genocidal racist man that leads a nation that wanted total war with it's neighbor in hopes to reach our goal of uniting people that speaks the same language under one nation and acquire land to have more of the preferable race while at the same time killing and eradicating 10 million people for their difference in religion and race by using lethal biological and chemical weapons while causes another World War that causes 50 Million casualties in soldiers and civilians combined.

Anyway, after several more days of interrogations, we have collected enough information to know the culture and nation across the gate. The nation we are at war with is called the Empire, it's the largest nation on the continent across the gate with several other allied kingdoms and vassals on their side. Its capital is the city of Sadera, the people that lived there are called Saderans so let's call the enemy the Saderan Empire.

It appears that the Saderan Empire is formed 700 years ago, that's quite a long time for a nation to advance from swords and bows to at least discovering gunpowder. But with the lack of technology, the Saderan Empire surprisingly expands its territories by waging war and forcefully control their citizens, and it's been working for the last 700 years. With the lack of defeats, planted in their minds are that the Empire is invincible and no other kingdom will take it over and as the only civilized nation. That's the main reason they call us barbarians, they always see anyone who's not a part of their Empire as barbarians and uncivilized.

The Saderan Empire have alliances with other kingdoms and vassals under their boots, meaning that the Empire can just draw more men from their vassal states and call in allied kingdoms into the war. This is not good; the UNE doesn't want unnecessary bloodshed of other kingdoms soldiers that haven't done anything to them. Maybe we can convince them to not fight if their brains are not as stubborn like the Imperial soldiers. It's plausible, but we will have to see when the time comes.

These thoughts of us being barbarians and uncivilized are mostly inside the minds of old Generals and Officers who have been a part of the Empire's military for years, and they've seen Empire's victories and "Invincibility". Which are the most difficult to get information from? Their minds are a though nut to crack, and they can't use mind reading just like that. It will lower the reputation of the government in the public eye, not only that, mind reading is extremely expensive and almost 32% inaccurate.

But only from the normal soldiers alone, they got some very reliable information about the Empire, the Empire's territories are almost as big as the continent. No wonder they have so many vassal states, they can't keep control of everything going on in their Empire on their own. And of course, these vassal states are ruled by brute force and suffers from heavy taxation and occupation. With these reasons, the choice of convincing them to not fight and we gave them a promise of independence from the Empire is much more visible and chances are high.

Stealth drones with cloaking capabilities are sent through the gate to gather geographical, political, and conditional information of the land and continent. Androids with cloaking suits are also sent to record close-up view of the land, enemy current positions, and the condition of the land around them. The gate resides on a small hill surrounded by forests and a mountain to the East, setting up defenses could be hard when on the other side. But yet again, the enemy's movements are very slow and can give them a couple of minutes to set up a perimeter and defense line as construction workers and robots work behind the lines to provide sleeping quarters and a mess hall for the time being.

The UNE plans for a "small" invasion of the planet, the purpose of this invasion is to convince the Saderan Empire that they cannot win this "War" and force them to surrender the ones responsible for the unprovoked attack in the first place. A force of 10.000 men with armor, artillery, and motorized unit will be sent through the gate to secure an area for the construction of a base of operation. Once the construction is finished and a beacon is active, we need to locate the location of the planet within our galaxy. If the beacon is not detected, then their only way home is the gate.

We still don't know a lot about the planet beyond, some of the soldiers we captured even say that magic exists in Falmart. They say there's an entire city based on learning magic and witchcraft, it might be utter bullshit and they're lying to us, but after the existence of creatures from fantasy it's hard to not believe it.

The last few days, the gate has been quiet. No more armies trying to pass through. Even if there's one trying to go through, once here they would be decimated by the garrison that's guarding the gate. A 100 Meter compound was created around the gate that acts as sleeping quarters, bunkers, and towers for the guards as the surrounding buildings has been repurposed for military use. Tall buildings and apartments have been transformed for sleeping quarters, restaurants became mess halls, offices, and business buildings would be for officers and soldiers doing paperwork.

2nd Lieutenant James Comwell has been promoted to 1st Lieutenant for his actions and duty on the field. He's the first one to respond to the police's call for help and maintain organization and morale on the police line, he also evacuated some civilians to a safe area until reinforcements arrived. He's seen as some sort of hero by the public eye, but he's not the only hero that day. The police play a huge role in the evacuation of civilians and forming a line of defense, it's just a coincidence that James was there to command the police.

Several Anime Fans were disappointed to hear that after the incident the Anime Convention who was supposed to take place on that day is canceled and is set on a future date. It causes the organizer of the convention to lose popularity and stocks to go down. It's not a major setback for the organizer but it is unfortunate that they have to push it to another date. This Anime Convention has long waited for Anime fans that's been resettled to Zarqon Prime, not only it's the first one in Zarkin it's going to be a huge one as well.

And hearing that it would be canceled and pushed to another date can push them to the limits.

2 Weeks After Zarqon Incident and the Opening of the Gate

After several days of reconnaissance and Android video recordings, the UNE is now ready to launch the operation. It's been proven by the recordings that an enemy army will be on the other side once they crossed, so clearing the area of hostile forces will be crucial before construction can begin. Here, is the full list of equipment, tanks, and mechs;

Equipment:

1. Y-22 Yaken Rifle: Standard issued plasma rifle for UNE soldiers.

2. R-75 "Protector": An automatic Railgun that fires titanium bullets at the speed of sound.

3. B-12 Slicer: A rifle that fires beams of lasers onto the enemy, it's quite reliable but quickly ware down.

4. F-1: Newly created handheld flamethrower, not quite as effective as the Fire Deaths but can still deter a lot of enemies.

5. AT-20 "Earth Shaker": Shoulder Anti-Tank missile launcher that holds 6 rounds of missiles.

6. JV-3 "Hard Sticker": A Javelin that sticks onto hard surfaces and launches explosive payload through the tip of the Javelin.

Tanks:

1. UNE MBT 1: Multi-terrain, main battle tank. Equipped with Twin-120mm railgun capable of firing HE, AT, And AI.

2. UNE FT-1: A modified version of the MBT 1, its turret is replaced by a flamethrower turret.

3. UNE 300mm Railgun: Mobile artillery unit.

Mech:

1. IO-70: Standard Mech that's used for frontline offensives.

(Most of the mechs are deployed via Battleships, no more types of mechs are able to be deployed at this current time)

As well as 11.000 soldiers will be deployed beyond the gate, sending fighters at this time is impossible. The gate is too small for any planes to go through without breaking it down onto little pieces and it would take a long time to put them back together, so, no air support at this current time. But seeing the technology the enemy wields, infantry and tanks would be enough to crush them.

11.000 UNE Soldiers wearing their Full-Body Combat suits holding a variety of weapons starting from the standard issued Y-22 Yaken Rifle, R-75, and the B-12 as well as hundreds of trucks, APC's and IFVs beside them. A column of soldiers and tanks is formed in front of the gate as the invasion was about to start, in the front of the column MBT's will be leading the charge as behind them are IO-70's with their pilots.

In the middle of the column is the infantry and vehicles, James is one of them, having to have fought with the enemy making him the first ones to be chosen for the invasion. In the very front of the column, a floating platform stood. Lucas Korninger stepped on to the platform and gave his speech. "Soldiers of the UNE, just 2 weeks ago the city of Zarkin has been attacked by forces from the Saderan Empire. They killed and butchered civilians, kidnapping them for their own use. Today is the day where we will seek justice, revenge!" Lucas's speech was broadcasted using speakers and announcement drones so everyone can hear his speech.

"You are the first ones to step onto unknown lands, and fight for our people that have been killed by the enemy." Lucas paused. "I wish you all good luck, and long live the UNE." Lucas kept the speech short because he still has somewhere else to be, but that should be enough to increase morale of the Division that's about to be sent to the other side. Lucas stepped off the platform as another man in armor stepped up.

"I am General Robert Pearson, and I am the one who will lead this operation. The lands you are about to step into are unknown to us, so keep your heads up and eyes peeled." Robert stepped off the platform as it was transported away. "Liberation Division! Forward!" As General Robert issued the order, tanks started to enter the gate. Next, are the mechs, infantry began entering their designated APC's and IFV before entering the gate. One by one, tanks, mechs, and vehicles entered the black, endless void of the gate. As the command vehicle enters, the streets are emptied.

The tunnel is dark, very dark. Their shoulder flashlights and vehicles can only light up the area around them, as anything beyond the is just pure darkness. Night vision works fine so a lot of soldiers switched to night vision mode on their helmets. "Radio check, all squads report."

"Squad 1 here, reading you loud and clear command."

"Squad 3 here, same with Squad 1."

The rest of the squads reported into the command vehicle, remote control drones works beyond the gate but they don't know if radios can work. So, it's a huge sigh of relief to hear that radio communications still working, because they haven't had a satellite network set up on high orbit of the planet, they can't communicate using satellites. The last thing command wanted is communications are cut and the entire division will be in chaos.

"Squad 1 here, we see the exit. Switching to combat mode." UNE's MBT's have a safety system where in order to fire the gun the crew needs to turn on combat mode to prevent misfires. But when under fire or assault, it automatically changes to combat mode in order for the crew to return fire at the enemy. It's handy, after the incident in Geneva where an MBT fires at a building only because the gunner accidentally presses the fire button when on patrol.

The light on the end of the tunnel becomes bigger and bigger, as they came close to the exit, they can see the world beyond. As the first MBT's are through they scanned the area for enemies. "All clear, Mechs can go through." The tanks create a perimeter as the mechs began to come out the gate. Taking positions behind the tanks the mechs and its pilots get ready for combat as they see hundreds and thousands of torches lit up on the far base of the hill. Fortunately, it's night time, and their night vision gave them the advantage as well with their Assisted-Targeting systems already locking on the enemy.

Then the APC's and IFV's finally gone through and the infantry dismounts their vehicles. "Take defensive positions!" Men began setting themselves up beside the tanks while field engineers began digging trenches in front of the tanks in order to give the infantry a defense position. Fabricators haven't brought through the gate with them so traditional shovels and matter disrupter will have to make do for the engineers.

300 MM Railguns take positions behind the perimeter line to provide artillery once the enemy is inside the firing range. Observation officers began seeing the enemy approaching the hill, with weapons and bows in hand. "Enemy forces approaching on the horizon." The officer informed the tanks, mechs, and infantry on the defensive line. 300mm Railguns aims for the enemy position as they come closer and closer, the massive barrels pointing at the skies.

"400 meters." One of the tank railgun crews informed the other indicating that the enemy is 400 meters away from their firing range. "300 meters!" Readjusting their aims, the railguns are ready to fire as their auto-loader load HE rounds into the barrel. "200 Meters!" The gunners get ready to presses the button. "50 Meters!" 2 seconds later… "FIRE!" All the railgun tanks fires in unison as high-explosive payloads are fired at their enemy who's currently marching at them. "Reload payload!" Auto-loader of the railguns began to reload and putting another HE round into the barrel. "Fire!" Another volley of high-explosive payloads is fired.

From the hill soldiers watched, as lines of explosions leveled the ground and destroyed the marching enemy. Their ranks began to panic as soldiers running everywhere in order to save themselves from the invisible attacker, but it's futile. Another line of explosions appeared and completely destroyed the enemy, this isn't a fight, it's a bloodbath as limbs and bodies of soldiers and demi-humans littered across the foot of the hill.

As their Assisted-Targeting systems stopped detecting enemies, tanks, soldiers, and mechs with their pilots began standing down and relaxed their grip on their weapons and fire button. As the night fell silent, and the UNE finally set their foot on another world. But not to colonize it, but to seek justice from the enemy.

There you go, another chapter for your reading pleasure. Hope you guys like it, it's hard to come out with equipment and tank names as well with the mechs. Now I'm still sorry that the mechs is based on the Titans in Titanfall 2 and the Full-Body Combat Suits is from the Spartans in Halo.

For planes, probably the designs will be taken from Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown with some of their parts and engines renamed.

And I would like to thank you for the reviews, and there would be no JSDF. The UNE will be replacing them in this story, for the USA, Russia, and China, they will be replaced with other galactic civilizations.

And I'm having a massive headache right now, don't know why it's just that the right side of my head is hurting really bad. Sorry for any grammar i just want to put this out because i just want to die right now. My brain is literally killing me.

Anyway, that's it for this chapter. See ya bois!
