The Beginning of A New End: Cold War - First Strike |
K.O.T.H. SE5 Chen H vs Alasur
Warning: Some of this may be a dramatization of the actual events that occurred.
For years we lived together in an alleged "peace," but that was just a lie, a lie to the citizens of the Yvelon Oligarchy and the Zerhanian Empire alike. Ever since we had first met, the Zerhanian's would send a never ending amount of "Dikson-class frigates" -suicidal ships equipped with Cobalt warheads and advanced engines, through their warp points and into our lands. One by one they rammed into our peaceful colony ships, killing millions in the process. They also destroyed our outlying sensor satellites, doing nothing more than quietly observing the empty lands of the universe. They placed "Happy Time Beacons" where our sensor satellites once lay, but their names were quite misleading, they were loaded with explosives and destroyed any of our ships that came near them, effectively blocking us from seeing what was beyond those warp points.
We forgave them for those acts of treachery, but when they smashed through Goomba's satellite defnse network and colonized a planet in this system, they went too far. We began designing our first warships and started a frenzy of laying our own mines everywhere, and lots too, hundreds upon hundreds of mines were produced and today we proudly have almost 1000 of them laying around the universe, preventing the Zerhanians from reaching our sacred lands.
That was all years ago, the Zerhanian colony in Goomba, "Staging Point 4" as they call it, still hasn't been captured, hasn't been attacked, nothing has happened all these years. Both sides did nothing more than deploy more mines, build more warships and amass them, but only that, nothing more. However, today was different, all of our ships were ready, our troop transport had been loaded up to the max and our fighter pilots were anxious to see some true combat. Tonight, we dine on aliens!

May the 4th be with us! And it began, our ships entered orbit of the alien colony, a massive fleet of +/-35 ships loaded with hundreds of fighters, and a couple of troop transports taking the rear. It was a grand sight, breathtaking. As our ships got closer to the planet, the fighter bays open and our young, but eager fighter pilots put on their warfaces. The thundering roar of their afterburners produced enough sound energy that it shook the entire sector. The fully deployed fleet was so large that the sun's beautiful rays of light was blocked out on the surface of "Staging Point 4."
The enthralling Yvelon fleet:

The Zerhanian planetary defenses were deployed, 1 spacestation, a couple of Pathmaker destroyers, a couple wings of fighters and the rest, which made up the majority of their defense force were the Blasters, mostly Mark I and Mark III. The planet also had a few small weapon platforms "Chita" and "Bug Zappers."
The mediocre, but brave Zerhanian defense force:

The battle wasn't long, but nor was it short, our headstrong fighter pilots fell out of formation and went ahead, only to be slaughtered by the heavy Zerhanian anti-unit weaponary which consisted of PDCs and Meson Blasters. Only a few fighters survived, most of them damaged beyond repair and the majority of them destroyed before the pilots could eject. However, while the alien fleet was occupied with our fighters, our missile frigates and destroyers got into place and launched salvo upon salvo to overwhelm their tight defense network and annihilate them.

It wasn't long before the entire alien fleet was pulverized and nothing more than a few enemy
fighters - which were taken care of by our few remaining fighters, remained. Our troop transports, which dearly surprised the enemy for their kind had not been seen before, launched their troop pods onto the alien world and ground combat begun.
We easily defeated the confused alien militia and the planet was ours! The Yvelon empire had emerged victorious with only a few ships lost.
May the 4th live on forever!

Nice, once my KOTH game gets going i'll try story telling the battle, although im not good, it will be fun though
Re: The Beginning of A New End: Cold War - First Strike
Nice work! 
I know how upsetting an alien world inside your space can be 
I see you had quite the fighter fleets present.
