The Battle of Schwalbe

The rear guard of the Tau fleet is... actually facing backwards, the right way for them to face.
So the charge is met by a ferocious amount of cannon fire instantly...

The shells are quickly identified as AP-ES shells, designed to fight against the dreaded anhysbys...
The damage to the Zerg swarm is instantaneous, as molten fragments of metal shell casing fly in all directions as Flak and other shells decimate the smaller zerg coming for them, and injuring the larger ones massively.

Cruise missile launchers open up as they fire at the bigger Zerg and AD ships...

The Zerg are instantly aware of the AP-ES's payload, as molten fragments seem to not stop burning, even in 0 oxygen enviroments...
Like acid, they burn through them, killing many and injuring almost all who stray too close.

The larger ships begin their turns to face the fleet too.
Although the main forces remain facing the other way...

The 'AD' Ships Aim, Then they Fire, Any Hits Release The Black Vong Virus Into the ships, devouring The Crew and turning them to zombies...

Ultranova ( Jenwuf )
They Fire Another Round Of Shells, Then They Get closer and Turbolasers Begin Firing at Tau and RUPA alike, Then The Mutalisks Begin Swarming RUPA Ships..
Meanwhile The rockets Hit The Larger Ship, getting Absorbed By Thick Shields, and even if it broke through Multiple layers of Different armors would stop Them....

Reeling, the Dawn fleet nevertheless holds firm in the face of overwhelming betrayal and loss. A single transmission goes out across the star system.

"HERALD THE ENDLESS DAWN, FOR WE ARE ITS HARBINGERS!"

The fleet begins to return fire, waves of MAC needles and cannon shells tearing at the foe. The two capital dreadnoughts, their armor scarred and chipped, come about, reaching claws of lance batteries carving out across the foe. And then the dreadnoughts begin charging hyperspace energy around their main jump rings....

(Well, now the Voidborn have arrived they would complete the sphere, so they would be unable to flee)

Drakador_Chaos

Undated_Abyss So they came from literally ALL other sides but the encirclement? ...and filled ALL gaps in the already existing encirclement?

Undated_Abyss

Drakador_Chaos
(Well, no, but they can fill a side of the sphere, and the other side would be the planet)

Oh, did I mention this entire discussion was pointless anyways since the ftl drives of the factions in question need no "free line of sight" to their destination anyways? 🙂

The cruisers bring their turrets around and start blasting away, a hail of fire tearing through space. The Vanguard gunships also join the fray, their Penetration cannons hurling shells that shred through the Zerg and AD ships.

The Beam Cannons on the Annihilator Frigates slam on, one by one, the red beams of death slicing through space and cutting into the opposing ships.

Shells Blast at RUPA ships, any Hits Send Black Vong Virus In the Ship...

A purple portal appears on the outside of the war, very closeby. A massive fleet began to exit the portal, around 1200 ships to be precise.

A transmission is send your way.

Transmission Starts.

A woman is on the screen.

Lara: “Greetings. My intel says you are in a war, and we are glad to lend you a helping hand!”

*She stands in a massive control room. In the command center, in the middle of the fleet, where all the tactics are proccessed and inforced.^

Lara: “Who are the enemies?”

Transmission Ends.

The fleet is flying towards the battle ground, they are colored black and dark brown, with Voghus on every ship.

(ever heard of shields? Guess not lmao)

Ultranova

Brank (hold on a second)

Brank The impact of the shells is absorbed by the ARC shields of the R-UPA ships and the virus vaporised by the intense heat of the shields. The R-UPA ships have reloaded their rockets and fire another barrage at the ships.

Brank

Ultranova

(I said Any Hits. If it hits Im saying what would happen. Pls reed)

Ultranova

Brank (I forgot to mention that the fighters are stored inside the larger ships at the moment. Sorry bout that)

Ultranova

Brank

It was a mistake to get close to the R-UPA ships. Short range machine guns appear from under covers as does shotguns. They swing around and start tearing through the swarming ships. Meanwhile, the rocket barrage has stopped and the Beam Cannons switch to Burst Fire mode.

Now, with the concentrated energy of the Beam Cannons, the shields of the larger ship begin to fall....

G4L4XY

Brank

Since the two Polaris battleships were assigned to defend the Tau, they make an important maneuver and turn to their broadside, missile bays and tachyon gun batteries now facing the ships. Without warning, a missile volley is sent into the side of a larger ship, tachyon rounds striking its shield at FTL speeds, although they take time to reload. Regular turrets continue to fire, slowly draining its shields...

(Why does RUPA hate Voghus, they seem Nice)

Ultranova

Brank
(They lie to your face and will betray all of us)

(Believe me, the R-UPA knows what's coming)

Brank

Ultranova
(Ok, Zerg hate em anyways because they are hunting nil.)

The fleet responds back.

Transmission Starts.

Lara: “I see... Sad to hear, we just want to help, yet we are denied everywhere we go thanks to events in the past.

Hope you will see us differently in the future.”

There is sarrow in the voice of Lara, but she stands with pride.

Transmission Ends.

A purple portal opens, but they wait a bit.

@Brank

(They hunt Nil down as well, since the leader, Nuro, hates him as well, your faction could ally them, and hunt him down together, wich seems possible.)

The captain of the heavy cruiser watches the portal open, and sighs.

"Well, I'm glad Chaze is about to give his speech."

(No We hate you BECAUSE you Hunt Nil, We Like nil)
