[i][u]Crux, Competed Space[/u][/i] [b]The battles had become worse and worse with each passing day, as the two forces grew more and more weary, desperate to end the fighting with their side the victor. The Federation had managed to hold the Capitol City, though the Rebellion had pushed them to it's borders. The constant boom of cannon fire and light from explosions had maintained intensity, even with the declining number of participants in the space battles. In the distance, Colonel Jaeger could only watch as a Federation Dreadnought fell out of the clouds in a rain of smelted debris, landing over a mountain with a loud boom. He had moved to participating on the front lines, relaying orders to his men as more and more officers died and their commands went to hell[/b] Focus fire on the 5th Flank! 32nd Battalion, I need Anti-Aircraft fire Northwest! [b]The air around the turrets hissed as they fired off on the Rebellion Fighters, hitting their mark and causing them to collide into sky scrapers They whined, before coming down in a collapse near Jaeger's location, throwing up a cloud of dust and debris His HUD adjusted, as he watched as Federation forces slowly declined on most fronts[/b] This is Colonel Jaeger to August Proxy. "We are reading you, Colonel. We have suffered heavy casualties up here, only 3 of our Cruisers remain." [b]He was quiet for a moment, letting the Bridge Officer's news sink in[/b] That's enough. Engage Formation Manifold, or these coords. [b]He read off a multiple coordinates for Rebellion forces[/b] "We read, Colonel. But are you su-" Dammit! We don't have time! Do it! "Yes, Sir" [b]Th sky boomed as dozens of missiles broke through the atmospehere[/b] "Manifold engaging in 3...2...1" [b]The air was suddenly soundless, as hundreds of large scale explosions rippled through Rebellion forces, blinding most combatants. A huge dust storm was thrown up, followed by a wave of air pressure and heat that threw the Federations forces on their backs[/b] "Confirmed hits, heavy causalities on Rebel Forces Confirmed." ...August Proxy, return to cloaked status. Await further orders." "Yes, Sir." [b]The landscape was decimated The Manifold Formation was used to not only shatter the opposition, but to also to decimate them The NG-Nexus were equiped with dozens of HR-Pulse Missiles each, each missile packing enough of a payload to level small towns. It was only to be used in extreme circumstances, as the affect it had on both allies and enemies was........ effective. The Rebellion was in disarray, more than 2/3rd's or their forces wiped out in an instant, while the survivors were left isolated, due to the EMP effect the missiles also carried [/b] 1st, 4th, 54th, 21st Battalions, give no quarter. [b]Federation forces reversed the tide of the battles, having the Rebellion on defense instead of offense[/b] No matter who wins here... it won't matter if the Fleet can't stop that threat.
