Boiled_Cabbage would it? You can just have the magnets on the hull of the fighter/shuttle an have it magnetized only when necessary via electromagnetism

How does one Manually Turn On a Magnet?

DraconisTheWyvern

Boiled_Cabbage there are two types of magnets. Permanent magnets an temporary magnets. Electromagnetism would be temporary (an is generally stronger than natural or artificial permanent magnets). Electromagnetism is caused by electric flow. You would turn it off or on by simple letting electricity run through it or cut off the electric current.

Well, like I said, @LeftHandofGod doesn't explicitly state if the Imperium has adopted this.

🙁 Can we just agree that my shit goes through the shields and your's doesn't? agghhhhhh. Alright. Word of Me says that the Imperium uses quantum shielding. When the AI controlling the shields sends something out, for the thing leaving, the shields don't exist. For something incoming that it registers, the shields exist as quantifiable barriers.

I'll agree if my Antimatter Reactors' explosions can break through your shields.

I like (and want) reasons for what can happen and what can't.

Was about to answer that, lol.

The blast overwhelms the remaining dreadnoughts, destroying or crippling those left. But even without the dreadnoughts, the Imperial fleet commands more than enough firepower to finish the fledging revolt on Holdhaven if more aid does not come, and soon.

On the boarded ships, the troops finally carve their way past the defenses on a tidal wave of their brother's corpses, and storm onto the bridges.

As the boarders enter the bridge they find the Captain of the ship, calm as ever, turn on the self destruct... You can imagine what happens next...

Also last post for the night lol

The eye-watering glare of the explosions still does nothing to lessen the fact that the Imperial fleet stands triumphant over an ocean of broken ships and shredded bodies.

The contacts at the edge of the galaxy draw steadily closer, then come within long range scan depth, this appears to be a huge fleet of crescent shaped ships, in colours the Imps cannot identify

Meanwhile due to the planetary broadcast by the GMC, Citizens planetwide snatch up arms and assault the now foolishly small looking planetary defence strongholds, many cities remain loyal to the Imperium, but it appears to be looking like planetary siege.

(@Brank Boiled_Cabbage @Jenwuf , this is semi-planned RP and whilst I appreciate your gesture of help, don' worry, I gat dis XD)

(Land Campaign?)

Tson @LeftHandofGod

Hundreds of ships appear out of FTL speeds. They launch what seem to be Helicopters outfitted with magnetic clamps, holding onto what seems to be tanks along with other types of armored vehicles. They are follow by small helicopters loaded with infantry, 16 each.

(getting ready for land campaign bois((maybe like Parendam Beta or something like that)also last post for now lol)))

I am happy to hear this. Our forces have been mobilized and will soon move to strike at the enemy. Just make sure that your men dont attack our forces. May the shadows be with you. Abraham Pierce out.
//TRANSMISSION END//

Approximately one hour later communication activity greatly increases near an important sensor and network relay outpost controlled by forces loyal to Alhergus:

Terminal: Impulse Rupture detected!
"This is Gamma Station control: We are picking up several pings in high orbit"

"Affirmative. We are picking up another set of..."

Vos Briefs the Militia and population loyal to her on the situation, making it seem as if she has tricked the Kel'Shir into helping, so the population does not feel like they are being "saved", this works surprisingly well, and there are no attempts on the Kel'Shir from her forces, She ironically realises that they accepted this merely days after they fired on their own military, beleiving them to be xenos
"My my, how times change."

A transmission is sent to the world below and all of its defenders.

"Why should we play your games when we hold the orbit? Surrender now or we will glass this world and all upon it."

Boiled_Cabbage

Tson @LeftHandofGod

As seen as all of the troops are deployed, they set up defensive positions near a large city.

(Also Tson can't stop my RP lol)

(When were there ships in orbit? Shouldn't they have engaged the Landers?)

Edit: (Also you're gonna lose support REAL quick if you're gonna glass a word full of innocent civilians)

There are signals passing from city to city on the world, and the people sound ready to yield, they appear to be preparing a transmission of surrender

Meanwhile, in the council chambers, Adante Vos storms into Alhergus's office
"Valkorian, this has gone far enough, I Shall accept your challenge, though belatedly, choose your weapon and meet me on the forecourt in twenty time measurement"
He then pivots on his heel and marches out

Meanwhile the first crescent-shaped cruisers move into Imperium space, they make no attempt to ask permission to do so, or to justify their reason. The ships are encased in golden coronas, which appear to be stasis fields on closer inspection.

Several unmanned supply freighters appear above the ships of Valkorian, though they are swiftly torn to shreds by the High Imperiums firepower. As the large chunks of debris fall past the fleet, suddenly countless signature pings appear on the fleets radar, as many small, strange looking droid-starfighters exit the wrecks. These mall and agile fighters appear each to rely on four "tentacles" lined with small repulsors, all rotating around around a central larger repulsor engine. As the High Imperium quickly finds out first hand, this form of propulsion does not only allow the craft to easily outmaneuver and dodge most enemy starfighters, but also grants them the ability to grab and throw other objects or even starfighters mid-flight.
