The ships began firing on the capital city, but quickly learning that it was shielded decided they could fire on other things instead. Taking positions around the planet they let loose a barrage right across the planet, taking out military instillations, industrial centers, power grids, anything of strategic interest that was not shielded. At the same time wave after wave of darts flew down to the ruins, dropping off hundreds of wraith. Wraith engineers began attempting to access the database of the ruins, attempting to learn the location of the device meanwhile the wraith built up their forces preparing to push into the capital city. At the same time those darts went to less protected civilian population centers, culling those they could. Two more hives emerged from hyperspace, escorted by 6 cruisers. These hives joined the others in the bombardment, the cruisers however went down to land on the planet around the capital city to begin marching troops in from all sides.

The Draganians had been the first species the wraith had encountered, but when they attempted to cull them they found the species very....untasty. That combined with their advanced weapons pushed the wraith to ignore the Draganians besides the occasional culling when food became low on a Hive, until recently that was anyways, hearing rumors about an Ancient device capable of giving them the power to bring the galaxy to its knees. Some wraith discarded it as just that, rumors. However others truly believed in its existance and lead the search for the device. 3 Hives and 9 cruisers emerged from hyperspace over the planet, however there was an obvious difference with the lead hive, being several times more larger then normal Hives. It was a super hive, a ship largely believed to be nearly unstopable. The wraith had heard from their followers of Ancient ruins being discovered on Newey, and they believed this is what they were looking for. The heavy energy cannons opened up on the ships in orbit, these cannons far more powerful then the normal Hives weaponry. The other hives and cruisers opened their hangar bays and let loose a wave of nearly 1000 darts, heading directly for the planet to begin beaming troops onto the ground and beginning the assualt on the ancient ruins.

The marines had managed to get themselves inside stasis chamber 3, and before them they could see row upon row of stasis pods. Unlike the outside of the ship the inside showed the true quality of Gremlon ship building, one would find it hard to believe it was the same ship. Has the last marine entered, the doors failsafe kicked in and the door slammed shut and locked, the room they were in flooded with air once again. on the far side of the room a hatch could be seen opening into a hallway leading to the next row of stasis pods. Beyond the slight hum of the pods the distant sounds of battle could be heard if one took the time to listen. "Our defense around stasis pod 3 is crummbling, and if we take any men off from the other positions we will open a hole in our defensive line." "Very well then, tell my team to gear meet me in 30 seconds." "You cant be serious, admiral." "Im very serious, unless you would rather go and back the defense up there yourself?" Admiral Ereson geared up in his battle suit, it was prototype built during the final stages of the war. But now was as good has any to test it out. He grabbed two balsters and a rifle and his battle sword. It felt very familar in his hands, yet at the same time felt like a distant memory. He could remember cutting down many wraith with this blade, fighting off entire platoons on his own. But that was a long time ago, or to him it felt that way anyways. His team waited for him, 6 of the best trained fighters in his crew. "Lets move!" Onboard the wraith cruiser, the marines would easily be able to enter the open hangar doors of the cruiser, which couldnt close without the command center being brough back online. However, once in the ship taking it would be a challenge, most of the wraith rather fighting to the death then surrendering to their food source.

"This team 6 taking heavy fire from wraith, pinned down and requesting backup." "Team 9 is responding, sit tight." "This is stasis chamber 3, the wraith are trying to get in here, not sure how long that door will last for." "We will get a team in has soon as we can, we are spread thin here already." The control center of the ship had become the command center, maps of the ship laid out across the now useless control pannels as they tried to map out wraith and Gremlon positions. "How many damn soldiers did they beam in to the ship? They are everywhere. All right tak your team and make a push to the hangar bay, hopefully the troops are still there." "Yes sir." As the shuttle approached the ship they would see it sitting eerily still, and badly damaged. Getting onboard the ship would be a sight to see however, as most of the holes were to small fit a soldier in.

While The missiles destroyed the vast majority of the darts, a few hit their mark. The Goliath was hit the worst. The first 2 kamakazies blowing a hole in an upper level allowing the darts flying by to use their opportunity to beam several wraith squads into the ship before being destroyed. The lights on The Goliath began flickering, several systems shutting down from the lack of power. "Shut down all systems besides stasis and life support systems!" The ship darkened and became completely still. A message was sent just before communications went offline informing the others on the current situation on the Goliath. "We got wraith aboard the ship sir, and with our life sensors offline we have no way to track movements across the ship." "Deploy security teams to gather those they can find and a defense on the power core and stasis chambers, lock those doors down after." "Yes sir."

It was decided to fall back and meet the hives on the way at the beachhead. The enemy had them outnumbered and outgunned for now, but all that would change in a month. As the ships prepared to enter hyperspace one of the capital missiles made a lucky hit, tearing the hive in half and causing most of the ship to vent air and most of the wraith inside died, save a few small groups of survivors. At the same time a cruiser took two bad missile hits, one destroying the engines the other destroying the ships command center leaving the ship a sitting duck to be boarded or destroyed. The 800 darts that had been serving as the anti projectile wall were left behind and changed direction for a kamakazie run. They werent heading for any of The destroyer or battleships but instead for the refugee ships. "!@#$! Get those damn guns operational! Now!" "They are online!" the ships anti fighter cannons came to life, but they wouldn't have any hope of destroying the incoming kamakazies on their own.

The wave of darts were torn apart before arriving, and jamming/interference mIssiles began successfully jamming longer range radars, however radars for the defenses were largely unaffected. The advanced defensive energy cannons still managed to take down many missiles coming in, but the Hives were taking significant damage. The fusion missiles began hitting their marks more often, though the organic hull of the hives absorbed much of radiation. A change in tactics was decided, the next wave of darts instead forming a dense wall in front of the hives intercepting missiles meanwhile sensors managed to calculate the ships positions from the missiles speed, direction, and angles the hives had a decent idea of where to concentrate their fire. The previous fleet, from the first encounter when the destroyers saved the refugee fleet emerged from hyperspace, cutting off the ships retreat and allowing them to get in some flanking fire. While still damaged from the first encounter they were now the ones with the element of surprise, activating the ships heavy energy canons and releasing their own wall of darts they took battle positions, the ships spreading out to encircle the fleet. On the Goliath Ereson watched the fight unfold, sitting in frustration as they sat helpless to do anything. "What do we need to get weapons operational?" "A miracle, sir. We could bring our primary canon online, but that could use up all of our power, killing those in stasis." "We can't bring on any of our smaller canons?" "No, our control system for the few that remain undamaged is completely shot." "What if we fire them manually?" "Well, it is possible in theory, but it's going to take time and it's probably a 30% chance of succeeding." "Try anyways, contact the other two ships and have them attempt this to. We cant just sit and watch. This is our fight after all."

"We have new contacts, they are firing projectiles." "Activate anti fighter guns, shoot those missiles out of the sky." The smaller guns on the hives activated, targeting the incoming projectiles and destroying the majority of them before they struck the Hives. A few lucky missiles got through and hit the front hull of the ships, however this was the densist portion of the ships resulting in minimal damage. Sensors on the hives pinpointed the approximate areas where the missiles were fired from the ships and activating it's heavy energy canons began firing on the enemy weapons meanwhile 500 darts were scrambled for a first wave, these darts instead of being armed with a weapon system were armed with small antimatter explosives, they would swarm the ships and kamakazie them, targeting engine and weapons, but also attempting to blow a sizable hole to allow troops to be beamed inside by the next wave of darts.

A dart would soon become visible as it came flying towards the ships, making no attempt to hide itself. The dart shot off a message to the hives before setting a collision course with The Falcon. The dart would go full speed hopefully hitting the ship before it could respond. The 3 hives that had been trailing the the Gremlons got the message and went full speed towards the ships, who had not gotten very far after. A message was sent, text only, to the ships. "Our fight is not with you, surrender the Gremlons to us and we will leave your people to live in peace. The choice is yours."

"Open the cell." Ereson and two guards entered the cell as the wraith stood up a smile on his face. The two guards circled around the wraith, coming up behind him. "So we can do this the easy way or the hard way, how much have you told your friends?" The wraith said nothing, the smile still on his face as he sized Ereson up. Ereson, seeing that the wraith was not willing to tell them anything gave a nod to his guards who grabbed the wraith and brought him to his knees. "You wraith aren't the only ones with telepathetic abilities. I can see into your mind, I suggest you prepare yourself, this can be rather unpleasant the more you resist." The wraith gave a defiant look at Ereson, his smile gone. "You can't hope to stop us, even if you learn what I know my people will find you, and find your precious allies to." Ereson said nothing, instead stared into the wraiths eyes. "He was a tough one, took a hour before I managed to get anything out of him." A message would be sent to The Falcon. "We have managed to get some info out of the wraith, currently three hives trails us at (coordinates), I also have some disturbing news, a wraith fleet has been sent to this galaxy, we can expect them here within a month. The numbers are 50 hives 150 cruisers half a million wraith and this is just a first wave. We believe they will gather their forces in my solar system. I apologize, it is our fault that they learned of your peoples existence and now know this galaxy is a potential huge source of food for them." "We lost contact with our agent on their ship, but we have a idea of their location and destination, I suggest we send out scouts to the nearest stars to locate their planet." "Agreed, deploy scout darts." Several darts left the ship, flying off in all different directions to begin the search.

"There he is! Dont let him get away!" A pair of guards charged the wraith, but in a close combat situation the wraith would come on top, pulling a sword from his back he sliced the first guard down, grabbing the second one he lifted him by the throat and slammed him into the wall. But now more guards were upon him, these ones armed with blasters. The wraith pulled out his own stunner but now he was being surrounded, still he managed to take out another two guards before being hit square in the back. "Wraith captured, telepathy block cuffs are taking effect. Extract or terminate?" "Extract, but I will do it personally." Ereson turned to whomever was still with him. "The wraith has been captured and his telepathy blocked. I must return to my ship, I will find out what information he has leaked to the others."

2 hours into the trip "Elise! Elise!" A pair of security guards marched down one of the lower and less used hall of the ship. "Where the hell can she be... She's been missing for an hour and a half now." One of the guards approached a storage door and attempted to open it. "What the hell. Control, please overide the lock on this door." A loud click could be heard and the guard opened the door then leaped back in surprise and horror. The second guard drew his sidearm and began watching their rear for any attackers. "Control, we're going to require a security detachment. Seal off this level untill they arrive. I have found the corpse of Elise, shes been fed upon." (I'm assuming that my guy is still on your ship) Eresons hand went up to an earpiece as he activated it. "This is Admiral Ereson, go ahead." He listened silently but his face showed his emotions, a mix of shock anger and sadness crossed over it all at once. He looked up at Stephanie in alarm. You got to stop, I've just been informed that a wraith has been discovered on The Goliath. Their telepathetic abilities are quite amazing giving them the ability to communicate over hundreds of thousands of light years. Chances are the wraith are trailing not far behind, attempting to locate your planet. Once they do they attack in never ending waves, wearing down your defenses untill they finally collapse. My men are currently moving in to deal with the problem, but the wraith already have a general idea of our destination, the less they can narrow their search the better." On The Goliath, security was swarming the level in search for the wraith, they would turn the place upside down, it was just a matter of time before the wraith was located.

"That would be greatly appreciated and we would again be in your debt. I can't express how greatly I appreciate all you are doing for us." On The Goliath a kamikazed dart had crashed into one of the lower decks and the pilot had survived. He sat hidden meditating with his superiors. When the ships began being escorted towards New Eden the Wraith had eyes on them the whole time and slowly began closing in, avoiding detection from the locals for now.

"Our most pressing issue are our engines which have been pushed to the max to try and escape our pursurers, our generators are also nearing the end of there life and should they fail 30000 civilians will die who are currently in stasis. Several levels of my flagship the starship Goliath are breached and have had to be sealed off and all of our ships weapon systems are destroyed. And those are just our immediate problems. Currently a new power system and engines are a must if we are to continue this mission."

RPing the wraith if anyone is interested in joining the RP you can RP encountering one of the hives as I have them spread out across the milky way exploring.

A 6 foot humanoid man slender build and dark red hair climbed off his shuttle, the only thing suggesting he was not human we're his dark purple eyes which seemed to look into ones soul. He observered his saviours for a moment before bowing his head in a sign of gratitude. "I owe you a great deal of thanks, you may of saved my people from complete and total extinction. I am a Gremlon from the planet Grem. My home was destroyed a little over 8 months ago. Our refugee fleet left during the final stages of a hundred year struggle and we have been pursued our entire journey. Our fleet started with 12 top of the line ships and now were are left with 3 battle damaged rust buckets. Our mission was to find a new home far away from our enemies, everything left of our civilization are in our 3 ships." He took a deep breath before continuing. "But that's enough on history of my people. I come asking for your assistance and protection in locating our new home. Unfortunately we don't have much to offer but we will give you whatever we can in return." Elsewhere in the galaxy. "This galaxy is a lot bigger and has more to offer then we first imagined. I propose sending a fleet to explore the opportunities of this galaxy and see if it is worth taking. Our food sources run low, the time is upon us to find new food and our first encounter proved most.... Tasty." "Agreed, a fleet will be deployed to the beachhead in the galaxy. Don't diss appoint us."

The attacking ships were hit by surprise and hit hard, one cruiser being completely torn apart and 2 battleships severely damaged, but now it was their turn. Activating their heavy canons they fired off a barrage at the new ships. It was decided however, that they would not risk a second barrage. Sending off several drone squadrons to trail behind the ships hightailed it out of there the drones would intercept and kamikaze any more missiles fired at them. The refuge ships pulled along their saviors and a message would be sent. "This is Admiral Ereson, I command this refugee fleet, or what's left of it anyways. I would like to personally thank you for saving us. If you could meet with me, I would like to discuss the predicament my people and I face and perhaps you could assist us on our mission." A shuttle would be sent over if the request was approved carrying only the admiral a pilot and a co-pilot. OOC: for the record I'm more or less RPing the wraith from stargate Atlantis, with a few of my own twists. Edit: $%&@in autocorrect

An SOS would be sent on all available frequencies. "We are under attack, the only survivors from our home, refugees from a century long war. Please if anyone is receiving this message we request your assistance, we can't fight them off on our own." Those who could see what's going on would find three starships being flanked and desperately trying to fight off 5 larger and more powerful battleships, along with 3 smaller cruiser ships closing in to board the ships.

I lol'd.

Does the color really matter? If people want to RP something on it then they would have to contact triyin, the color doesn't change that.

Hey TBM I could use some cheap labor on my cigar plantations so my farmers dont need to buy them fancy farming machines. Save a buck or two.

Public After a long trial the former prime minister of Chicago was sentenced to death and executed for crimes against humanity and war crimes. The body would be buried in an unmarked grave behind a cigar plantation. In other news, the reconstruction of Kingston is making good progress with the cities commercial and shipping sectors reconstruction quickly finishing. The city is quickly becoming a major shipping and commercial center once again. Jobs and opportunities continue to open in the city and a steady stream of workers from around the nation are moving to the area. Semi classified The military is preparing for exercise Cuban shield wich will test the nations readiness in the event Cuba is invaded. The exercise will be across all the branches of the military and will strengthen preparedness against an invasion.

Cuban investigators sent to investigate this change in power found no evidence that a coup caused the change in government. Questioning civilians they informed us that they were happy with the current government. If Quebec saw it has an illegal government they would of questioned it when it Occured.

The group turned a corner in Santiago de Cuba. "Your time approaches." Those words kept ringing through Denzel's head. Andreala turned to him, watching him suspiciously. "What is wrong with you?" "Nothing, didn't sleep well I guess." " Well get over it. Our target is in this city." "We have to find him before she does. Move out." The black man lifted his hand and a group of men in blue armor dispersed into the city, hoping along the buildings. Around the city police were on the watch for the group after getting several eye witness reports of the group came in. The sealer, a young man working as an officer sat back in his cruiser, unaware of the forces quickly closing in on him. He turned to his partner "You getting a funny feeling?" His partner turned to him. "Yeah, I think that doughnut was well past it's expiration date." Andreala could sense the coming fight, it was going to be a bloody one. "I hope you guys are ready for a fight, because we have one coming our way." The group readied their swords. "There, the sealer." She pointed at the cruiser before sprinting forward, reading to fight. "Is she running towards us?" The officers watched has she rushed forward, stopping just before the cruiser she lifted her fist and slammed into the hood of the cruiser, crushing the front of the cruiser. "Holy !@#$!" His partner climbed out of the cruiser, his pistol pointing at her while the sealer called for backup. Ontop of a building one of the blue knIghts watched the events unfold. Raising his long sword the sunlight glared off of it, informing the others the target has been located. Dropping off the building and onto the hood of the car the force of his fall causing Andreala to go flying back. The officer fired a round off at the knight and watched it bounce off the armor. The witches followers finally caught up. "!@#$, it's a knight." The group readied their swords and prepared to fight the knight. The knight stood staring at Andreala " You have breathed your last breathe witch, you should of stayed in your prison." the knight lifted his blade, preparing to swing, the cop who had fired off his gun stood inbetween the knight and Andreala, his pistol raised. "Sir, drop the sword. You are under arrest." The knight brought down his blade on the officer, cutting him in half in one easy swoop. The officer sat back frightened and unsure what to do. In the distance sirens could be heard approaching the scene. The knight turned his attention to the witch again but now Denzel was upon him, swinging his gladius at the knight who now turned his attention towards the witches followers. Ontop of a building watched an older man in the same blue armor, his eyes fixed on Denzel.

Cuban troops, finding the investigators pulled back to the docks and began exiting the country, leaving only humanitarian workers and supplies to continue operations. "We stand by the will of Georgia who have clearly stated who they wish to protect them. Greenland did nothing while the Georgians slaughtered themselve while the SUSA sent large amounts of aid." -Cuban command
