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.
Replies to Reviews/Comments:
awilla the hun: Look, it's not like the Chaos is weak. It's just that they were not ready. Remember that this is at the edge of the galaxy and Telerix II isn't that important to the forces of the Warhammer galaxy. Also, the Chaos was vastly outnumbered.
Previews: Within a few chapters, the Dracoranians will finally conquer Telerix II.
Survey: Should I kill off the red dragon Kafraxialus on Telerix II or let him live for now? Also, suggest an Ork planet or Tau planet the dragons will attack. Leave the name and what you expect the garrison would be. I am going to spend a few chapters purely on battles so that I can buff up my story without taxing too much creativity.
Enjoy! And don't forget to leave comments!
Chapter 24: Kafraxialus Enraged
Back on Dracorus, the massive capital world of the Dracoranian Empire, in the Dracoranian home galaxy, the Lords of the Dragons gathered once more as an important and dire news arrived.
With flashes, the Lords of the Dragons appeared in their marble seats once more. Xekaron the Black Lord parted his lips first.
"I hear that the Immortals have alerted the opening of the trans-galactic void between our galaxy and the galaxy of the Exiles."
Zellecalis nodded.
"I just returned from the Holy World. The Immortal Dragons have confirmed it.?"
Kenavoras roared as he smashed an arm of his chair into dust.
"We were ordered to attack the Milky Way galaxy! Why now?"
Gederigas raised his hand to his chin and stroked it.
"Perhaps, it is an additional challenge?"
Xekaron snarled.
"Than it is most unfair. I am certain that our enemies would already have re-established their forces since the last Game."
Seletora the Silver Lord nodded.
"Indeed. The Zergs still numbered in their millions when we were ordered to withdraw. The Borg had hidden dozens of Unimatrixes when we were at the brink of annihilating them, and the Ori… They can easily recreate civilisations."
Zellecalis raised a question.
"Did not the Void Keeper allow conflict between them last time the void was open?"
Xekaron nodded.
"Yes, he did. Perhaps they wiped each other out? Hopeful wish but a possibility."
Seletora did not agree.
"Even if they had fought each other, one would have come on top. Then they would have a significant advantage by absorbed the others and the time to rebuild their forces. How long ago was it? Eighty thousand years ago or so."
Gederigas nodded.
"Yes, that's enough time for even a single pair of rats to repopulate its numbers, not to mention the Zerg."
Kenavoras growled.
"Perhaps we should lure the Tyranids at the Zergs."
Gederigas shook his head.
"You know we are forbidden to mess with the Tyranids. Besides, if one side wins and absorbs the other… well, that would be a problem."
"We can always use 'that'."
"You fool! 'That' is more dangers if it gets out of control."
"What's to worry? 'That' would only be fighting organic stuff. Its replication rate would be much lower than fighting metallic ships."
Velrakis the White Lord shook his head too.
"I agree with Gederigas. 'That' is far too dangerous."
Others agreed. Then Veletora looked at the Golden Lord.
"Lord Galevaris, what should we do?"
The old man spoke.
"We should continue the Game according to the plan, but we should mobilise more dragons just in case something happens. Take extra care in keeping an eye on the Exiles as well as our old enemies."
"Very well, Lord Galevaris."

The loss of the main expedition force was a critical mistake on the part of the Dracoranians. Many Clones involved in the battle and most of the Dominon forces were wiped out or severely injured in the blast, and the orbital bombardment the fleets of the Imperium sent down upon the distinct impact of the Chaos Warp. The Chaos-hating Imperium fired their weapons upon the surface, attempting to destroy any Chaos, but they did more than that. They wiped out the survivors of the Dracoranian forces there, crippling the overall capacity the Dracoranians have.
The clone vats continually grew in numbers but they were still some time from maturing, and the loss of the Clone army was a serious blow to the campaign. In fact, almost two third of the Clone army was destroyed, and with the continuing attacks by the Imperium weakened the Dracoranian forces.
The most serious blow to the dragon's forces, was the loss of the Dominion forces including the tanks and other mechs. Certainly the factories were producing the replacements but the majority of the mechs were at the battle, and it would take several more days for the first new batch was to be produced, thus leaving a large gap in the firepower of the Dracoranian force.
This sudden weakness of the Dracoranians did not go unnoticed by the Imperium or the Necrons. The Necrons finally moved out of their valleys and caves beyond the mountain range to the west, and slowly moved against the Dracoranians. Everybody expected the Necrons to defend their territory and fortify it further, but to their surprise, the Necrons began to move.
It appeared that the Necrons were preparing for an attack, and the fully awakened Monoliths teleported to the east of the mountains. A dozen Monoliths appeared from a flash of green light, and from the Monoliths came out hundreds upon hundreds of Necrons. They slowly marched, killing everything in their paths even the trees and small animals and anything else.
The small remaining Clones retreated back across the cold tundra to the barracks in the Dracoranian territory, leaving the Necrons to claim the Chaos territory. The forces of Imperium paused their attacks as the Necrons spent ten days consolidating their forces on this side of the mountains. In fact, the Imperium began to fortify their own positions across the planet, trying to bulk up their armies, replacing the Space Marine companies being sent to other planets with the reinforcements of Imperial Guards.

Kafraxialus roared in rage as the Necrons began to move against his forces. While the humans were a threat, they nothing like the Necrons, and the dragons did acknowledge the Necrons to be the true threat. He rallied his forces once more, to find that the humans of the Imperium have dealt him a serious damage. The remaining forces were quite small, and still the beacon was not found. He was being pressured more and more, and his position within the hierarchy of the dragons was shaky.
To vent his anger, he went back down to the torture chamber to torture Velde. It was his new favourite past time. He enjoyed the screams of the former Chapter Master as he ripped memories from his mind. The powerful psychic attacks were extremely painful even for a powerful man like Velde. Kafraxialus sneered as he extended a claw and dug into the left shoulder, touching the nerves.
"Is it painful, lord Velde? I am sure you have suffered greater pains. Then again, you were a Chapter Master for a long time, and have not been subjected to such torture often."
Velde huffed as he lifted his head up.
"It is painful, but I can take it, lizard."
"Lizard? That's an insult I hear often from the monkeys like you. It would be insulting to younger ones, but I know for a fact that you cannot grasp what we are. You are inferior, and I don't expect you to understand our greatness."
"No matter what you say, you are still nothing but a pitiful lizard and a freak of a mutant."
"Hahaha! You can't insult me, Velde. You might even get to like me, when you are with me for next thousand years or so."
"Go to hell, lizard."
"Been there, lord Velde, and it is pleasant for a red dragon such as I. Nice warm place."
Suddenly, alarm rang, and Kafraxialus quickly turned. He paused for moment, then turned to look at Velde.
"I am sorry but we are not going to have our private time today. I'll come back tomorrow and double the play."

"What is it, General Gripps?"
"My lord, the Necrons had just caught up and destroyed the 39th and 42nd company of the D305th Clone Battalion."
"Damn it. Where is my reinforcement?"
"Another two days, my lord."
"Two days too late."
"The Necrons are still six to seven days away, my lord. In the worst case, you can take care of them."
"If I do, I will be the laughingstock of the empire. Already powerful dragons have entered this galaxy. If I lose face… What of your search into the Eldar data?"
"The technicians are doing their best. We now know that they knew where it was and guessed correctly what it was."
"Damn. You've been searching ever since we got here…"
"What about the island to the east, my lord?"
"What of it?"
"If Eldars are still there… that might mean that they are guarding something."
"Indeed. I wondered why they've not left this planet yet. I just assumed that without their fleet they could not… but what if… How did we know that the beacon is in the Necron territory?"
"The faint energy signature and the evidences of Eldars trying get their hands on it."
"Yes, but the energy signature… a trace of an energy signature can be faked."
"My lord, are you saying that the Eldar has tricked us?"
"That's how they fight."
"We have been deceived all along."
"Damned Eldar! Crush them! Find me that beacon!"
"My lord, the Imperium has positioned significant amount troops between us and the Eldar island."
"What? When did this happen?"
"Since the attack on you, we have been increasing the defence of the capital and the lair sites but we did give up the redundant former Eldar territories. It seems that the Imperium is in league with the Eldar."
"Then I will crush them both."
"With the current army we have left, my lord, we cannot fight the Necrons and the Imperium at the same time. We will have to wait for the reinforcements."
Kafraxialus growled.
"I have been fooled by primitive bipedal… primates! When will the new batch of the clones be ready?"
"They will mature within sixteen hours, but the memory grafting and basic motor skill training will require five days."
"Damn that Imperium. I will annihilate them!! They have caused be so much delay and inconvenience!"
Then the Goa'uld Linosis came up to them. Kafraxialus looked at the Goa'uld.
"My lord Kafraxialus, I have news."
"Speak, Linosis."
"Apparently, the rest of the Vanguard are coming here."
"That is early… three weeks early. Who is coming?"
"The leader of the Vanguard is coming, my lord."
Kafraxialus looked stunned. He almost stumbled.
"Ascaralius the Feared Darkness is coming here?"
"It seems that he is bringing everything."
"What do you mean?"
"The System Lord Anuraks is bringing a fifth of his entire fleet here with his master."
"You served Anuraks a while ago, did you not?"
"Yes, my lord. I was one of his underlords, when he was one of the weakest of the System Lords. Two thousand years ago. Since then, with the support of the Ancient Dragon Ascaralius he has risen to the fourth most powerful System Lord with considerably larger fleet for this territory."
"How many ships and men will he be bringing?"
"Last time Anuraks had attacked another System Lord Mal'anut, he deployed nearly two hundred Ha'taks in the overall offensive, which was said to be about one tenth of his fleet. From that I can speculate that Anuraks would bring about four to five hundred Ha'taks with two hundred or so Alkesh and… about six hundred thousand Jaffa minimum to 1.25 million Jaffa. Which means he will have about forty thousand Kulls or maximum of a hundred thousand Kulls."
Kafraxialus gritted his teeth.
"If Ascaralius decides, as the leader of the Vanguard, to take over the operations here, he can force me. I don't have nowhere enough forces to stop him. Damn it."
Gripps agreed with Kafraxialus.
"Most of my troops have died, and we only have Jaffa left. The Clones number in hundreds and my own forces just over a hundred. Even with the reinforcements, Ascaralius will outnumber us. Will his army be comprised mostly of Jaffa?"
Kafraxialus shook his head.
"No. He has the famous K653rd battalion along with a dozen other battalions and a considerable fleet. He has six Doom Givers and eleven Super Star Destroyers. In another word, he is an Ancient Dragon. He is a hundred three thousand years old! The old geezer has been building up armies after armies during all these years."
"What do you plan to do, my lord?"
"I must find the beacon before he arrives. Linosis, how many Kull Warriors do you have left?"
Linosis bowed slightly.
"I still have over six hundred Kull Warriors on the ground and another five hundred on the Ha'taks."
"I need them deployed quickly. I will have to carry them myself. Get me your Kull Warriors. I am going to that island myself."
"Yes, my lord."
I hope it was fun. Anything to fix, then post a comment, thanks.
