================================== WARNING: EXTREME vector art, high lag is guaranteed for lower quality devices. ================================== After CE captured our new colonies we lost control due to the Cinderist forces occupying the planets. As such their monstrous act of trapping billions of civilians on their planet to be massacred is unworthy of our kindness. Without warning the second wave of missile’s targets included Agro worlds, but these were small fries compared to the fate of Relvalt. The core system filled with stellar infrastructure and stations was a marvel, until a single missile shattering Relvalt-9’s moon. All objects in the system space were thrashed with the remains of the moon; with each fragment moving near the speed of light. The city world of Relvalt-9 was lucky enough to have fortifications to protect its civilians, if the Cinderist cared enough to move them to safety, but we do not know their fate nor care. As our people are being butchered, we will only give the kindness of allowing CE civilians the chance to survive. Back on the Northern front, the Cinderist aggressive pushing and rushing of their vanity machines onto worlds opened up an opportunity to break the Cinderist arm. In the systems flanking Radon Heart, large strike fleets followed by battle fleets crash into the Cinderist flanks and converge at their back lines, trapping the Cinderist forces within the system. The battle fleets would then push from every direction until every enemy soldier was deceased or captured. Once completed the fleet moves on to the next system with Wild-Hunters running in first with a missile wave, as the two share the same warping imprint, the Cinderist will be distracted with the missiles as the Wild-Hunters secure immediate space for the incoming fleet to then follow the same strike from the flanks and destroy all trapped enemies. This counterattack happened around Radon Heart as the two forces moved behind the Cinderist to cut them off as the RIN entered the Siege of Radon Heart. The constant fighting and the Cinderist mass frontal assault has buckled the defenders, but now the new pride of the fleet and standard of 7th Generation Capital warships has now arrived; the RIN is a Demon-Class Battleship that has been under development for years with only a recent advancement delaying the project from producing the first of these new leviathans before the war. The RIN escorts oddly keep their distance from the battleship as it entered the front lines. To the Cinderist it appears as if we put our newest toy out in the open for a devastating loss. As the Cinderist opened fire upon the battleship a strange thing occurred. Small armaments fizzled away at 325 ft away from the battleship, while medium and heavy armaments would go off course and barely make contact with far less force than normal. Only when the RIN opened fire did shells actually made dents into the thick armor, but this was bittersweet as the RIN Supreme-OB Guns with their three-barrels ripped through a Twilight Class-Dreadnought weakened shields and melted through the ship's hull. In mere minutes the warship was completely destroyed, and then the strange occurrence would happen again. The battleship announced the shift in the battle and as the two pincers closed in behind the Cinderist forces now cornering them against the RIN. Out at Seraphina Tunnel, defenders decided on a strange tactic. Using a Invader-Class Super Carrier as a tugged boat they brought a Capital Supremacy Station (CSS) into the system protecting the core system. The Cinderist mass push became a turkey shoot and with the pressure lightened construction teams rushed to implement thrusters onto the CSS. With the Invader already in the area the carrier begins to deploy large numbers of fighters with MUF-120 squadrons adjusted for either sensory tech to hunt down stealth and clocked bombers and starfighters, or packed with Hawk Missiles to launch clouds of them to give the Cinderist pilots a nightmare of advising four to twenty missiles as Corvid-1 Fighter pick off the stragglers who escape the initial missile cloud. Some MUF-120 squadrons are adjusted with stealth tech to sneak around and deploy mines or go for a missile strike against supply, repairing, or anti-missile warships and structures. In the south construction of new CSS at the southern Wormhole have begun and worries of enemy flanking have convinced command to prepare for an attack in the south. In the meantime, the new Combined Armed Forces Groups (military assets from all branches organized as a smaller combined military force, for short Com-Ams) are deployed on the Western front to once and for all finish off Cinderist forces. The 9th, 10th, and 11th Com-Ams are preparing to eliminate the enemy, while the 12th, 13th, and 14th cover the rest of the front and prepare for any more futile advance. Even under heavy rain a bonfire can burn ever brighter.
