The commander watched as the rest of the crew onboard the command deck was frantic. Some were trying to evacuate the planet, while others were preparing for an immediate boarding party.
"Sir. We're picking up both civilians and apparent military on board. Some sort of hostile conflict. Someone there seems to be trying to destroy the reactor and crash the station. Even if we manage to prevent that..." another man said, "I... don't think it's going to be possible to save the crew."
"Prioritize the preservation of the reactor. Get out as many civilians as you can." was the commander's only response as both warships and three transport ships made their way to the station in an attempt to dock/board...
[spoiler]Few questions. One, will this definitely hit the planet? Two, it is pretty much impossible to save them with the amount of time we have, right? And three, are the hallways large enough to fit a Titan (from Titanfall)?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Answer 1: The station is definitely going to hit the ground, but not necessarily at destructive speeds. (Relatively.) Answer 2: You have six general options here; three of them you can do right now: Blow up the station, minimal damage but everyone aboard is dead, or you can prioritize rescue and hope that you can break the station before it hits the ground. You could also try to slow down the ship/push it over the ocean and give yourself more time, but risk losing resources for other options. You aren't limited to these if you get creative, but having some known paths is helpful. Answer 3: You might be able to fit a Stryder type in the transport hallways, with some reduced mobility.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Hmm. What are the other three? If you don't mind me asking that is. I want to make this as epic as possible.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Hardest one: Reset the reactor. You would have to send someone INSIDE it, carrying enough exotic matter to rip the fabric of reality into shreds. Ion thrusters activate, station hovers. Alternatively, eject the core. This one risks sacrificing a ship, and shuts off the engines. Getting everyone off would be recommended first. (You would still have to deal with both the now supercrit reactor and the crashing station.) Finally, and my favorite: push the thing back upward. Going to need to push all the ships on the bottom of this. Big risk, and there might be problems down the road. Very soon down the road. Feel free to mix and match these options to the degree that pleases you.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Okay. Thinking about doing an interesting combination. I guess you'll see. Now all you need to do is let me dock[/spoiler]

Unfortunately for the Frontier ships, the docking clamps on the station were similar in size, but in a pentagonal configuration. More fortunately, however, a large hangar was open nearby, with fighting broken out between some entrenched boarding party and a group hidden away in a large transport hallway.

They moved towards the hanger in an attempt to land inside...

Edited by Monarch Neo: 11/30/2017 10:04:56 PMOne of the combatants hidden in the vehicle hallway shouted at the landing ships with a loudspeaker. "Landing ships, offload your troops before the Vulpecula ground them. Looks like the cavalry's here, boys!" Almost as prophecy, some of the entrenched shock troopers begin redirecting weapon fire at the ships.
-
One of the Frontier ships turned on some sort of speaker, trying to communicate with the people firing at them. A booming voice came over it, deep and commanding. "ATTENTION. We are Frontier craft. You are outnumbered in weaponry, troops, and technology. STAND DOWN." From several of those ships dropped fully armored Ogre-class Titans, each wielding heavy weaponry. They began to fire.

Edited by Monarch Neo: 11/30/2017 11:24:07 PMThe Frontier ships certainly knew how to make an entrance, but these 'Vulpecula' weren't having any of it. Immediately after the first titan deployed, the majority of the forces began to focus on them, with several beginning to procure cryogenic laser cannons to rain heavy fire on the mechs. The loudspeaker from the hallway soon replied. "Yeah, don't bother trying to make them surrender. It just pisses them off. Now they're probably going to send a tank here. Along this hallway. Eh~[i]Please reinforce us.[/i]"
-
Some of the Frontier troops chose to continue their engagements with the hostile military force, while the rest began to land and prepare to reinforce the civilians on-site.

Edited by Monarch Neo: 12/21/2017 1:04:45 AMWithin a few minutes, the last of the shock troops inside the hangar were eliminated. Meanwhile, whoever was at the barricade was approached by-apparently-a security guard. "What the hell are you doing? Dropping armored antipersonnel mechs that big against an enemy who specializes in destroying conventional machinery?! Either your commander is incredibly confident, or incredibly stupid."
