First off holy Frakk guys i didnt expect such fast reactions like my militarized star wars rebels stories haven't even done this good thanks anyway off to the story
Lieutenant General James Parks of the Colonial Marines 14th Battalion was sweating looking at the map of Argentum vast swaths of the city was black indicating either direct hits from Cylon nukes or heavy radiation. With the defenses and navy knocked out somehow even his units Vipers and Raptors were grounded the moment they powered up the computers were scramming the engines. The only air worthy thing he had at his disposal was antique Rattlesnake atmospheric fighters nearly a hundred years old but kept in flight worthy condition by recreational pilots thank the gods.
"Sir!" the shout came from the only operational modern piece of equipment in the command pod "DRADIS is picking up six unknown ships approaching from Thyrsus."
"Are they Cylons? Colonial?" Parks questioned the young man.
"Im not sure sir DRADIS cant get a good reed they are simply marked unknown.
The General rubbed his chin thoughtfully "See if we can get a video feed from one of the Shipyards in the area." he said thinking out loud " We have been trying to get a manual positional lock on the Cylon ships to launch missiles see if we can use one of them." the General said
Leaning over the mans shoulder the General sees his uniforms name tag and the crossed sword and quill of a Scorpio Defence force Specialist by the name of Jerome Antony the man was busy typing away at the older computer when he grunted in relief as a small docking bay camera feed came to life showing up close the twelve double triangular basestars of the Cylons not even bothering with launching more missiles or fighters at the shattered wrecks of the Minos. The other Battlestar Persesus reactor had overloaded from dozens of hits most of them nuclear.
But beyond them were six ships he had never seen before they didn't look to be Colonial or Cylon. General muttered aloud "Cylon allies? Did they find other civilizations out there in these last forty years?"
Jerome looked up at the General still hovering over him "Aliens sir? Is that even possible before the Cylon.."he paused for a second "the first Cylon war there was never any records of non human intelligences was there?"
Before Parks could answer the two medium ships bow's disappeared in a blinding light and less then a second later a single Cylon baseship was cut in half and exploded as secondary explosions found the Raiders Tylium bunkers.
The Cylons seemed to pause for a moment but in reality it was less then a minute as dozens of missiles and hundreds of Raiders dropped from the spiral pylons and turned in the direction of the six ships. As General parks watched nearly three hundred missiles and a hundred Raiders screaming right behind. Rather then run the strange ships turned broadside on and General Parks saw a strange emblem of a bird holding what looked like a planet in its talons and on what looked to be a parchment pained underneath were four unknown symbols U.N.S.C
They had no time to cross check it as the ships broadside started flashing in over a dozen locations on both ships. James and Jerome waited in baited breath watching waiting for the small explosions of flakk to form a semi solid barrier between the ships and the threat however that didn't happen as explosions did occur in the form of at first dozens of cylon fighters and missiles.
The largest ship wasn't sitting still with the three smaller ships keeping a close escort on it moved up to sit between the pair of broadside ships before its front vanished in a flash followed a moment later by a second one as another Cylon ship was severed and its top half exploded throwing the second half further into the gravity well of Scorpio.
The moments after the third Cylon ship exploded the Silence around them brought General Parks back to where he was he looked at the map of the city and his eyes widened in surprise the Cylons were pulling back the as he watched the red patches marking Cylon ground forces were shrinking back to the black spots of nuclear contamination. Now that he thought about it the scream and occasional bouts of cannon fire from the Rattlesnakes and Raiders had also stopped.
Shrugging figuring its worth the risk they had been using runners since the 4th Scorpio Defense had been directly targeted from orbit after announcing they were escorting a dozen Colonial Senators to a bunker. He made a call on his radio
"This is a Zues priority Transmission 14-1-1 this is 14 Actual respond" James waited a second and was about to make the call again when he got a reply
"14 Actual this is 14-1-1." the commanding officer of the first regiment first company Justin Willams responded.
"1-1 whats the status of the Cylon advance? The General inquired.
"Actual we are pushing them back what happened to the Raiders the rattlesnakes are ripping these frakkers a new to…." Williams was cut off with a stream of automatic riffle fire that ended in a explosion "Correction some are retreating and some are fighting to their destruction sir." he finished.
"Apparently friendly's have arrived. But keep pushing them back and keep your eyes open Actual out." General Parks turned back to Jerome " keep an eye on DRADIS."
Parks turns to walk a few steps away to the other officer in the pod the communications officer Staff Sargent Jessica Knight "Knight whats the status of the Cylon Jamming are we receiving anything on that antique from anywhere else on the planet?"
Jessica puts the modern earpiece into her ear and with a few taps on her wrist pad checking frequencies she shakes her head no and then puts the old wired headset up to her ear and a few switches and turns the dial slowly through the channels both military and civilian "all we are getting is extremely local signals sir nothing from beyond a few dozen miles." she paused as something caught her ear and looks at her wrist pad "Sir modern jamming is lifting!"
At the same time Jerome calls out "these mistry ships just fired again Sir!" he points to the DRADIS screen "they got four kills that time…." a rapid series of beeps cuts him off as DRADIS detects more ships "More ships appearing, Sir from how small they are they must be transports." he looks back at the camera just as General Parks rejoins him followed by Jessica who sees the weird newcomers for the first time.
Just over a hundred wide and small Grey craft launch from the three largest ships and speed towards the remaining half dozen Cylon ships.
The small agile craft dart downwards below the plane the big ships were firing on and make no attempt to fire on the Cylon ships as the strange ships fire again claiming three more Cylons as the fighters tilt upwards to engage the remaining robotic ships the blink out of existence as they engage their FTL drives. Deciding to abandon the thousand of Centurions and fighters left on the planet.
The newcomers seeing the ongoing fighting on the surface and free of jamming send a message
"My name is Captain Brain Jackson of the UNSC Ability and Task fleet Midway we come in tranquility."
