After thousands of years, the elves of Middle-earth began their exodus homeward across the sea. The port city of Mithlond known as the Grey Havens was where they converged to set sail westward. As Sauron's armies began their move, the Corsairs of Umbar from the south had choked off the naval passageway westward and threatened to overrun the ancient port city.
The Terran Dominion, the Golden Armada led by Selendis, the elves, and Gloin along with a small battalion of dwarves arrived to the Grey Havens.
"Glorfindel, we heard you may be coming. Corsairs from the south have sunk our ships and ransacked the port. And now their ships lingering in the gulf sinking any ships attempting to flee!" a spear-wielding elven sentry reported.
"Ah," Gloin sighed. "Dwarves! Go back to the caves and tell our brothers our enemy is here! Surely they'll listen," he turned to the battalion of axe-throwers.
"Back to the Blue Mountain," the dwarves began heading back with the message.
"Elves of Mithlond, drive scourge of the Corsairs out of these waters!" an elf officer ordered.
The corsairs as infantry were fierce wielding knives and firebombs. They looted the port city and set fire to structures.
"Air cavalry has arrived. Give us a target," a banshee pilot muttered.
"Let's show the corsairs what our air power is made of," said Selendis. The Protoss Scout fighters joined in along with the man-made banshees and vikings. A scout fighter's dual photon blasters could only kill two corsairs whereas the banshees and vikings in walker forms could kill multiple corsairs with their air-to-ground missiles and Gatling cannons respectively.
"The filth of Umbar has been eradicated. We must capture the docks and fight off the blockade with our own fleet," said an elf officer.
Selendis had a Stargate warped in and Johnny had a Starport to build air force. The executor used Scout fighters mainly while the young man with the admiral's advice assembled a force of vikings, banshees, and raven support vessels. The raven was known for launching a hunter-seeker missile at a group of targets and deploying auto-turrets. Like science vessels, the ravens also had detector abilities.
The elves reclaimed the shipwrights and began assembling a fleet of battleships garrisoned with archers that fired coveted silverthorne arrows.
"With the combined forces, the corsairs will surely meet their defeat. The corsairs wait at sea mocking us," said an elf officer.
"Let's see who gets the last laugh," said Johnny.
"Let's bring the fight to them," said Selendis.
The corsair ships also had archers garrisoned and they fired flaming arrows at both air and ground forces. The elven warships and the corsair ships began engaging each other. The man-made banshees cloaked to avoid being seen by the corsair ships and sank them easily with the air-to-ground missiles. The flaming arrows hardly dealt any damage to the Protoss scout fighters but those aerospace superiority fighters were not effective against ground forces. Unfortunately, a hunter-seeker missile from a raven could sink just one corsair ship.
"The blockade is broken! The corsairs are coming from a stronghold in the south, find it and capture their shipyards," said an elf officer.
Johnny had a medivac used to transport Gloin and Glorfindel to capture the shipwrights under the corsairs' control. The vikings in jet mode, banshees, scout fighters, and ravens on air along with the elven warships at sea escorted the medivac. The banshees, scout fighters, and elven battleships fended off the corsair ships on the way.
When the combined forces reached the south, the banshees bombarded the tavern where the corsairs gathered. A raven's hunter-seeker missile could wipe out a horde of corsair infantry. The vikings on walker mode and scout fighters cleared the corsair infantry guarding the shipwrights. Gloin and Glorfindel got off from the medivac then captured the shipwrights.
"It is done. Both shipyards are ours to command," said an elf officer. But there was horn, "The wind carries a fell note across the water. The heralds of the armada sound their assault."
The medivac ferried Gloin and Glorfindel back to the city while the combined forces intercepted the enemy armada. The banshees sunk the corsair ships while the elven battleships sunk the enemy transports. Those defenseless ships had goblin infantry, goblin spider riders, half-troll marauders, Mordor orcs, Easterlings, and corsair infantry.
The Dominion and Golden Armada set up defenses at the beach by building bunkers and warping in photon cannons. Siege tanks were also used to fortify the defenses.
After the first wave was repelled, the Blue Mountain dwarves arrived. "The dwarves! The dwarves have come!" said an elf officer.
"Aye! We couldn't let our friends have all the fun now!" said the dwarf officer.
The dwarven guardians, axe throwers, and battlewagons joined in for the defense.
The corsairs added another type of ship that had a long-range catapult mounted for the next assault. The elves responded by adding another type of vessel that had a long-range ballista. Nevertheless, the combined forces brought down the next wave.
After the third wave was repelled, a new alliance between elves and dwarves was celebrated. An elf messenger arrived on behalf of Thranduil said that the elf king needed assistance as Sauron's massive army from Dol Guldur would attack Mirkwood soon. The Terran Dominion, the Golden Armada, Glorfindel, and Gloin went with the messenger to Mirkwood.
