The Shuttle's Plasma Thrusters come alive with a bright purple flare as it zooms to the station, before stopping, and landing inside the station, hovering a few meters above the ground, as a Sang'heili Floats down in Red Armour. A Zealot.

gearshift48

Brank two soldiers and an officer are there to meet them. Though the armor looks humanoid they aren’t human, atleast don’t seem to be by their bright fucking neon orange eyes going through the helmets eye holes.
on their backs they have rifles that look like somthing a modern military would have, as in 2020 modern. on their belts is what looks like sword hilts. The officer has a small crown fixture on top of his helmet, and further gold and orange markings on the shoulders and over the chest.
the officer speaks “greetings.”

The Soldiers see that the Elite is Wearing a Deep Red Combat Harness with a Flat, Broad helmet. the Armour has Flowing Blue Highlights made of Strange material. He Has some sort of Alien-Looking Weapon on the Side of his Leg, magnetically Attached. The Weapons has to Parts connected by a Handle, and is a purple Colour, made of the same material as his Armour. On his hand is some sort of Gauntlet over top of his regular Combat Harness' Gauntlets, it seems to have an angled slit at the front for something to exit it. He stands about 3 meters tall, and has double jointed Knees, one of the joints facing backwards.
"Greetings, humanoids. I am Vat'iva of the Kel'thulian Empire, I and this Fleet come here in Exploration. Who Might You and your Nation be?"

gearshift48

Brank "i am Captain Zycon, and these are my Liutenants Arcane and Creviator."
"we are from the elitrian empire, acting as guard for this new colony."

Brank

gearshift48 "It is an Honour to meet you. It seems our Exploration led to much more than just another Empty planet or lifeless Star. Would it be Possible to Speak to your Higherups? We may be able to... Help you with this Sub-Par Technology."
His arm Flicks, and a Bright Cyan Blade, about a Foot long, and a quarter-foot wide. The Blade Glows, lighting up a small area around the Zealot. He flicks his Arm Again, and the Blade Dissipates.

gearshift48

Brank "hm, we may get you into contact with them. though our technology might be a bit less low tier then you expect?"
he presses a button on his own hilt and a bright orange sword blade appears over it.
he disables it as well
(battle of the show offs)

Brank

gearshift48
He Lets out a Slight chuckle, before Speaking.
"Very Well, Inform me when they are Prepared to speak, I will be waiting for them aboard my Dropship"

gearshift48

Brank moments go by after the captain sends a private message out. Then, in the corner of the system they see a warp gate recloak. A massive ship, around 4.2km in... width? Apperently it was wide rather than long. a small fleet followed it, by covenant standards the fleet behind had 4 battle cruisers and 6 light cruisers, along with 20 various shuttles and frigates. One of the frigates began to move towards the station while the rest of the fleet stood still.
the superiour had arrived.

Brank

gearshift48
The Covenant Ships look at the large ship, unimpressed and confused as to its width. The Zealot simply awaits for the frigate to dock.

gearshift48

Brank the ship docks. from the other side of the hanger, the door opens
"hello there."
4 gaurds are behind him as he walks into the area. hes a bit taller than average compared to the rest and no he doesent have his sword drawn
"zycon, good to see you... greetings Vat'iva. it is a pleasure to meet you"

killercat625 a small fleet with a cruiser and 6 corvettes sits docked at a rather large station orbiting the main planet of the system, with various other light orbital defences further out through the system. the planet below is heavily urbanised and several other small planets through the system seem to have large mining operations started on them

A survey ship appeared on the edge of Elithrian space.

Brank

gearshift48
He bows his head slightly, before his 3 mandibles begin moving
"The Pleasure is all mine..."

(sorry for short reply, not much I can do just yet)

The ship was taking pictures with its LRIGs, logging the data.

gearshift48

Brank "so then. what seems to be your proposition for coming here?"
"you asked for a higher leadership, you now have it here."
"sorry if i am rushing this a bit but it is quite difficult running a colony heading into a entirely new galaxy..."

Brank

gearshift48
"New galaxy... Our people know what if feels like to be forced from out homes..."
"We came here on an exploration mission after picking up signals."

gearshift48

Brank “ah, alright then.”
”hm.. what n-“ he was rudely interrupted by his comm connection activating
”sir, your required immidietly back at Tureris, the warp gate has been breached”
He quickly turned on his own responder “wait, what? Who? How?”
”dident we fortify that to all hell from all angles? How did they get in?!”
”they ran the blockade sir, a dozen heavy cruisers and a carrier made it through and dozens more vessels are fighting at the gate itself, we can’t hold out against this many vessels without reinforcements”
”fuck fuck fuck…. Fine I’ll be there soon”
he turnt it off “WELL sorry for being so rudely interrupted but I must be going immidietely-“
he took off running back to the ship in a panic
captain zycon looked similarly panicked and rushed a soldier to a comms table to figure out what the hell was going on

killercat625 one of the fleets could be seen moving to enter FTL away from the system, though nothing noticed them yet

Brank

gearshift48
"Back to the ship. it seems our new friends require assistance..."
They all leave back to the Shuttle, and fly off to the ship. after some time, the ships send out a transmission to the station.

||This is the GNST Undying Victory, requesting coordinates of this "Gate" so we can provide assistance.||
the slipspace drives of the fleet come alive, anxiously waiting to send out a portal, simply needing input of coords to activate.

gearshift48

Brank the main fleet the officer came from was finishing its turn to warp itself
the officers dropship arrived onboard its vessel so they were ready. the docked mini corvettes left to the fleet as well. although mainly light patrol vessels they would still work as basic PD units for the large vessel.
they are given a reply
"Sending Coordinates now. Fleet of the Vehement empire has breached security in main entry to colonial space"
the coordinates led to a system further towards the galactic edges

//Copy, ETA 5 Minutes.//
Alarms blare on the ships as the slipspace drives rip open the blue-black portal through space, crew preparing for the jump and hoping to not lose anything.

Shipmaster:
"I want all weapons primed, Status Report."
Advisor:
"Spinal Lances at 80%, Dorsal Weapon at 40% Charge, and all other weapons systems at 100% Capacity. Slipspace drives have been activated, and the ETA to the Coordinates is estimated to be 5 minutes. Engines are on full burn."
Shipmaster:
"Good. This will be a victory in the Name of the prophet..."

The Ships pass through the portal, and roughly 4 minutes later, they arrive at the battle...

gearshift48

Brank *the elitrians warp out faster, in a minute their ships are overtaken in bright blue lights and vanish off to the destination. When they arrive they see a giant halo ring like structure but not like the one from their canon, this one is a micro fortress on a giant ring structure projecting a portal across the galaxies. And they can see green and black ships emerging 1 after another and tearing into the nearby elitrian cruisers with blistering kinetic batteries at point blank range. Many of the ships are damaged before even making it through suggesting the fight on the other side. Going by covenant classification, the current numbers are, including the officers reinforcement fleet are:
Vehement:
4 battlecruiser class vessels
26 various cruiser class vessels
2 light carriers
32 frigates
Elitria:
1 “dreadnaught” (da wide ship)
2 battle cruisers
12 cruisers
3 large defence stations/starports
22 frigates surrounding the stations

the vehement ships are rushing in close, overpowering the thick armor and shielding of elitrian vessels in comparison to the vehement ones with pure speed and firepower. Plasma and cannons rip through the space as they exchange broadsides.
the “Dark enforcer” as is labeled on the sides of the vessel, the wide ship, unveils its main weapons. 2 colloidal weapons platforms unfold on the bottom, though large the barrel and caliber seem deceptively small for the gun mechanism. the gun itself is near half the size of a corvette but the barrel seems the same as any other capital ships main cannon. Then they fire. And never stop. The giant size of the barrels letting them keep firing volleys of capital ship grade fire at 2 shots a second continuously at the charging forces, ripping a cruiser out of the space as its secondary batteries open up on approaching frigates and fighter craft.
the surrounding ships in the fleet move to broadside to barrage the oncoming wall of ships and protect the large vessel from fire

gearshift48
The Kel'thulian ships move towards the battle, weapons cold. Radiation is spiking in the belly of the ships, extending out to the tips of Plasma lances along the back of the Destroyer...

"Spinal Lances are at 100% Charge, Shipmaster..."
"...Fire."

WHOOOM
Massive beams of plasma erupt from the lances, zooming towards their targets, bright blue energy crackling in the void of space. after this starting volley, rings of blue plasma form in front of the barrels of railguns, the shells flying forth from the barrels, pulling some of the plasma along. the ships move forth unto the battle, continuing railgun fire onto Vehement cruisers.
