Void Keeper Wars Warhammer 40K - Cancelled Chapter 12:Storm Fronts Clash, a warhammer fanfic

Void Keeper Wars - Warhammer 40K

This is a crossover between Warhammer 40K and StarGate, StarWars, StarCraft. I always wanted a new race for Warhammer 40K. The new race is an amalgamation of the Galactic Empire of StarWars, Goa'uld Empire of StarGate, and the Terran and Protoss from StarCraft. I will be using the Clone Wars era for the StarWars, and post Ori-invasion for the Goa'uld, and units from both StarCraft and StarCraft 2. I don't own anything from Warhammer 40K, StarGate, StarWars, StarCraft. I am just writing it for fun.

This chapter will feature space naval battle.

awilla the hun: Thank you for commenting! The 'Game' is central to the plot, but I don't want to spoil it yet.

Masin: Void Keeper, as the Emperor has let slip, is a mischievous being, so he may revive the Emperor or will there be some twist? Oh, 'Star Child' is the name for the Emperor's soul in the Warp. Just the soul part. Read it on the Wikipedia or Lexicum or something.

R'N'Rer: Thank you very much for your input!

Remember, comments feeds creativity.

PS: I have trouble writing in Ork's point of view, anyone have any ideas? This story will basically be between the older races and the Imperium, but it would be good to know what the Tau and Orks think of all this. Also, suggest the names of Space Marine chapters you want to throw into this region to fight the invaders.

Chapter 12: Storm Fronts Clash

The Lord Admiral Gabris' fleet arrived. One Victory Class Battleship, one Dictator Class Carrier, three Gothic Class Cruisers and thirty four destroyers and frigates moved toward the northern pole of Telerix II. They did not see any ship there. However, as soon as they were within the visual distance from the planet, they saw something happening. A black portal opened in the space, blocking out the stars and the light from the Telerix sun. From the portal, came out a fleet of ships unknown to the Imperial Navy.

At the head of the fleet were the ships of the Terran Dominion. The flagship of the Dominion fleet, Red Heinz IV, fitted with more weapons and thicker ablative armour than other Battlecruisers, was leading the giant battleships. Behind it, were twelve Terran Dominion Battlecruisers, their hammerhead shapes carrying devastating Yamato Cannons and numerous plasma torpedos. Among these powerful Battlecruisers was one much larger ship. Inside their thick wings were fighter bays filled with rows after rows of Wraith fighters, all equipped with cloaking devices. Behind these powerful ships were sixteen Valkyries, guarding the one hundred fifty Dropships behind them.

Following them were the Star Destroyers. In the middle was the massive Executor-Class Star Destroyer, often called the Super Star Destroyer. The giant ship was the flagship of the fleet. The Star Destroyers, themselves massive ships of their own right, were dwarfed by this monstrosity. Flanking the massive flagship were the six Venator-Class Star Destroyers, and above and below the Super Star Destroyer were three Victory Class Star Destroyers each, guarding the flagship. Bringing up the rear were six Acclamator I-Class Assault Ships, full of Clone Troopers and vehicles to be deployed.

Behind them were the ships of the Goa'ulds. The flagship of the Goa'uld fleet was a massive pyramid ship with dark golden tetrahedron in the middle standing above flat black wing-section. Around it were six Ha'tak class ships with lighter coloured pyramid and pointier black wings, guarding the flagship. Around these ships were thirty slightly smaller Ha'tak class ships with the wing-section more round and disk-like.

Two massive fleets faced off as they noticed each other and positioned themselves for battle. From the south pole of the planet, the remaining Imperial Navy forces, attached to the Imperial Guards ground forces, joined Lord Admiral Gabris' fleet. With the additional three Lunar-Class cruisers, two Gothic-Class cruisers and the one Mars-Class Battlecruiser, the Lord Admiral felt that this was a battle he could win. He did feel that his enemies were numerous but did not think too much of their weapons. After all, who could possibly match the technological superiority of the Imperium?

The Tech-Priests and the Servitors busied themselves to prepare for the battle ahead. The Lord Admiral Gabris straightened his uniform before standing up to face the large computer screen in the front of the bridge. A Tech Priest came to him.

"Lord Admiral, the fleet is in position. Shall we raise our shields?"

"Yes, Tech-Priest. All ships at full battle-readiness. Prepare the Fury Interceptors for launch and wait for my orders. Power up all weapons batteries, charge the lance batteries, loaded the torpedoes and begin the preparation to fire the Nova Cannon. Have the Mars-class to ready their Nova Cannon as well. Now, hail them in all frequencies."

"Yes, Lord Admiral. We have located the hailing frequency and we are now connected."

"I am Lord Admiral Gabris, the commander of the Battlefleet Gargosia, Tempestus Segmentum, Imperium of Mankind. In the name of the Most Holy Emperor, I demand that you surrender your ships and prepare to be boarded and be processed by the Imperium."

"Lord Admiral, they are responding. Three separate signals, tied into one."

"On screen."

The screen showed three people. Top half showed a man who definitely showed the signs of a naval officer. Gabris admired that. Bottom half of the screen was divided into two, on the right was a man with many battle scars, indicating that he was an army man. The left of the bottom half of the screen showed an arrogant man, clad in various fineries. Some bureaucrat-like creature. The naval officer spoke.

"I am Admiral Kahil of the Expedition Fleet Korhai, the space fleet of the mighty Lord Kafraxialus the Flame Blade, of the Dracoranian Empire, and the commanding officer of the Imperial Sector of Lord Kafraxialus' forces. These are my fellow commanding officers, General Gripps of the Dominion Sector and Lord Linosis of the Goa'uld Sector."

The army man spoke.

"I am General Gripps."

The bureaucrat with jewels raised one eyebrow.

"I am Linosis, bow before me, and surrender your ships. Then I might be persuaded to let you live."

Admiral Kahil saluted Gabris.

"My orders stand, Lord Admiral Gabris. You will surrender and prepare to be boarded, or you will be destroyed, as ordered by Lord Kafraxialus the Flame Blade."

Gabris let out a laugh.

"You must be joking, admiral Kahil. My fleet will crush your pathetic ships. Prepare for battle, then, admiral."

Kahil, without showing expressions on his face, nodded.

"Very well, Lord Admiral. It would be great shame to have a good naval officer such as yourself killed so needlessly, but my orders stand. My fleet will be victorious."

The screen went dark, and was replaced by the sensor map of the theatre of war.

"Lord Admiral, the transmission has ended. We are ready for battle."

"Order the ships to fire at will! Tech-Priest, fire the Nova Cannon at the largest enemy ship!"

"Yes, Lord Admiral."

"Tech-Priest, attack formation Alpha Seven! All lance batteries fire! Launch all Furies and fire torpedoes!"

On the Executor-Class Star Destroyer Sweet Doom, Admiral Kahil began to issue orders.

"All ships, this is Admiral Kahil. Fire at will! Linosis, take your Ha'taks and flank their fleet. General Gripps, fire Yamato Cannons at their largest ships! All Star Destroyers, fire at will, launch all fighters, and all turbolasers to full!"

"Yes, admiral!"

"Helms, evasive manoeuvre seven one! Have the Venators charge into their fleet and fire their broadside guns!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Admiral, the enemy is firing torpedoes!"

"Have the point-defence lasers to shoot them down!"

"We have six squads of our fighters have engaged four squads of enemy fighters. Their fighters have heavier firepower but ours have the manoeuvrability, sir."

"Admiral, the Venators are taking heavy fires."

"Sir, the Dominon Battlecruisers are firing their Yamato Cannons."

Back on the Victory Class Battleship Solaris Spear, Lord Admiral Gabris was having similar situations.

"Multiple enemies are firing massive energy weapons. Gothic-class cruiser Litany XI has been crippled! Two more Gothics and one Lunar are damaged, but their weapons are still firing, my lord."

"Contact! Enemy fighters! Our Fury Interceptors are engaging them, my lord.

"Firing all lance batteries! One of their hammerhead ships are down!"

Smiling, Gabris manually targeted a Dominion Battlecruiser that was floating in between Solaris Spear and the Sweet Doom.

"Fire all torpedoes and lances on that ship!"

"Yes, my lord."

"Firing!"

"Enemy is returning fire. Enemy fire is weakening… We just lost three secondary weapons batteries!"

"Target is down! It is exploding!"

Gabris picked another ship. A Venator Class ship that was coming up to the left of the Imperium fleet.

"Reroute all lances to aim at the target! Tech-Priest, is the Nova Cannon ready?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Fire!"

Three Goa'uld Ha'taks were moving toward the enemy fleet amid the incoming fire. When they saw a Dominion Battlecruiser destroyed by the enemy's flagship and opening up a path to it, the Ha'taks moved in. The Ha'taks fired their plasma cannons hitting the enemy's shield. It did almost nothing, but it was still better then nothing at all. In fact, the rest of the Goa'uld fleet has managed to flank the Imperium's fleet to the right and were firing volleys after volleys of plasma fire upon them. Suddenly, the enemy's flagship fired a strange weapon. It went through one Ha'tak and damaged the others. The shell exploded and the Ha'taks' shields were no match for the implosion of the Nova Cannon's shell.

Aboard Solaris Spear, Gabris fumed with anger.

"Tech Priest, begin the recharge of the Nova Cannon immediately!"

"Yes, my lord."

"Have all the batteries fire at those pyramid ships. They are easier to take down."

"Firing all lance batteries."

"We just destroyed two ships and damaged another two, my lord."

"My lord, White Zenith IIX has been crippled! We are losing the Gothic class too fast, sir. We need their lances."

"Have the all the Furies from the Singing Lady VI to converge on the enemy ships on the right."

"We crippled another two pyramid ships. The Lunar class ships are tearing through these infidels like stone through wet paper bag, sir."

Gabris targeted a Victory Star Destroyer, firing upon a Lunar class ship from above.

"Lances, fire at that ship!"

Brilliant lights from the lance batteries crashed into the powerful Star Destroyer and began to tear through it. One of the lances hit the main generator and the ship exploded.

"Got it, sir."

"Good. Continue firing! We must not lose our big ships. Where are my cruisers?"

"Cruisers making an attack run against the enemy's hammerhead ships, my lord. They took down seven so far."

General Gripps gripped the armrest of his chair as the Red Heinz IV shook. He roared.

"Report!"

"General, we lost another two Battlecruisers. Valkyrie are destroying their fighters but they are not doing too well against enemy capital ships."

"Sir, we got incoming. Bear mark 14-4-21-5! One of their smaller ships. They are firing energy weapons! Our ablative armour is giving away in decks PR51 to 53! We are venting plasma from the dorsal pipes!"

"Reroute all auxiliary weapons to target that vessel! All dorsal guns, fire!"

"Sir, our plasma torpedoes are ready again!"

"Target their flagship, and fire!"

Fifty powerful plasma torpedoes fired from the hammerhead of the Battlecruiser and flew toward Solaris Spear.

The ship shook as the enemy's fire battered the shield.

"We are long shield fast, Lord Admiral."

"Keep it steady, tech priest."

"I will ease the machine's pain, my lord. This battle has greatly upset the machine spirit."

"This ship is a vessel of the Imperial Navy. It is born to fight! Keep it fighting!"

"Yes, I will try."

"My lord. We've cleared all but three hammerhead ships including the big one. The surviving hammerhead ships are retreating to the planet."

"Ignore them. Focus your attacks on the pyramid ships and the triangle ships."

"My lord, the pyramid ships are fleeing as well. We've destroyed most of their ships except their flagship."

"Excellent. Only the triangle ships remain."

Aboard Sweet Doom, Admiral Kahil bit his lips as his allies began to flee. He understood that the Dominion ships could not withstand anymore, but the Goa'uld Linosis showed his cowardice.

"Send all the transports down to the planet. We have to hold the enemies at bay!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Fire all turbolasers on their flagship!"

Sweet Doom and Solaris Spear approached each other as the rest of the fleet were fighting their own battles. The numerous turbolasers and photon torpedoes pounded the Solaris Spear while the lances and weapons batteries cut their way into the Sweet Doom. The sheer size of the Super Star Destroyer showed clear advantage. The number of weapons on board Sweet Doom was superior thanks to its size, as the Solaris Spear had more weapons in percentage.

"My lord admiral, our hull is buckling under pressure. The ship will be destroyed!"

"How long till the Nova Cannon is ready?"

"Fifteen seconds!"

"Just keep it together until then!"

"Yes, my lord."

"Admiral, we are losing the forward batteries fast, sir. However, the enemy's ship will be destroyed soon."

"What about the rest of the fleet?"

"The Acclamators are heading down to the planet, and they evaded the battle as much as possible, sir."

"How long until they reach the safe distance?"

"Ten seconds, sir. After ten seconds, we can with draw."

The Tech Priest shouted amid the exploding consoles and walls.

"Nine seconds till Nova Cannon, my lord!"

"Fire as soon as it is ready!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The operations officer came up to Kahil.

"We still have several ships left, sir. Once the Acclamators unload their troops, we will have enough space force to continue support the invasion."

"Very good. ETA for the Acclamators to reach the safe distance?"

"Two seconds, my lord."

A Servitor was blown to bits when a chunk of the ceiling's main support structure buckled and a power conduit fell on the poor creature.

"I don't think the ship can hold on much longer! How long till the Nova Cannon?"

"Ready!"

"Fire!"

With the last power it had, Solaris Spear fired its Nova Cannon directly into the Sweet Doom. The powerful weapon's shell crushed its way through half the length of the ship before imploding. The shockwave buckled the superstructure of the giant ship. Its outer hull crunched inward then out then back in. The weapons fire from Sweet Doom stopped as the power was cut. Explosions were seen from the middle of the ships, spreading to the other parts. Inside the bridge of the Sweet Doom, everyone was flabbergasted by the shockwave and seeing their ship being destroyed. Kahil gave the final order.

"All hands, abandon ship!"

The surviving crew began to evacuate to the escape pods, which were sent to the nearest friendly ship. However, Kahil was not on any of them. He stood and stared at the enemy's ship and smiled.

"We go together then."

He placed all remaining power to the engines.

Aboard Solaris Spear, Lord Admiral Gabris did not have time to watch his work.

"Abandon ship, now!"

It was fortunate that because of the damage, the engines could not fully compensate for the recoil of the Nova Cannon and was pushed back, thus, giving them some time to escape the incoming ship.

Sweet Doom collided with Solaris Spear, crushing the smaller ship, then exploding in a magnificent firework. Admiral Kahil had perished with his ship, but Lord Admiral Grabris survived.

He walked up to the bridge of the Prince of the East XI, a Lunar Class cruiser, which had picked up his escape pod. The captain of the ship saluted.

"Welcome aboard the Prince of the East XI, my lord. Today was a victorious day, sir."

Gabris nodded with smile.

"Yes, though we had lost many ships and men, they will be remembered as those who died bravely in service of the Emperor and the Mankind."

"Yes, sir."

"Move the fleet to the southern pole of the planet and begin repairs."

"Yes, Lord Admiral."

I hope it was fun. Anything to fix, then post a comment, thanks.
