Converted Confederate Ship, Bridge, DCS Darkbringer
Aboard a former Confederate ship, numerous Invaders were approaching Triangulum. It was the first of many ships in a medium sized invasion fleet. Leading the fleet was Rho, and he stood at the bridge of the DCS Darkbringer in newly restored armour. It was just like his old armour in functionality, but now bore Invader markings.
Many of his former men were with him, as they would be needed for the coming mission. His ship and battle group would be attacking Maarlox. Another group, led by another capable Invader, would be raiding Karsopolis. The raid would do little real damage, but it would draw Confederate ships away from the true targets, Maarlox and Malantogue. While the bulk of the remaining Confederate Navy was defending Karsopolis, Rho's group would move into orbit of Maarlox, and breach the planet's defences. Once that was done, the former Wendigo commandos would head down to the planet, and begin to massacre Confederate clone forces and scientists. Unfortunately, this was only the first of several cloning planets, and Rho only knew of this one. But it was the master facility, and the location of the others would be embedded in the Confederate R&D mainframe. Suddenly, the signal came, and Rho knew the time was right. The Invader ships exited hyperspace, and entered the orbits of Karsopolis, Maarlox, and Malantogue. Rho said in an even voice to his men, "Remember your training, and I'll personally torture any gunner who puts so little as a lock on the Confederate data centre. My men need to retrieve the information stored there. Now get ready, men. We have darkness to bring."
Rho then thought in an excited tone, "Are you ready, Kali?"
Karsopolis, Governor's Office
Without any warning, alarms began to scream like the dying all over Karsopolis. A confused Sharp wondered what was happening, when suddenly, the planet's network of hypervelocity guns thundered to life. The weapons fired enormous slugs of steel, trisilviate and titanium, most at just over the speed of sound. They were designed to tear into whatever was in orbit. Surface to space lasers also blazed to life. Finally, the sound of boots raced through the corridors as Confederate soldiers moved to secure the building. Suddenly, Silva entered the room, along with Markinson and several other Phantom agents.
"Good to see you're alright," she said. She then said in a commanding tone, "It's not safe here, Karson. You should follow me."
"Of course," he said as he followed the Intelligence group.
When they had reached a secure room, Sharp asked, "So what do we know?"
"Hard to say," Silva replied. "But we do know that Karsopolis isn't the only affected area. Attacks are occurring on Maarlox and Malantogue as well, but they're being hit much more forcefully than we are. There are comms here, and supplies. We should be safe for now."
"Good to hear," Sharp said as he stepped forward to the communications array. He broadcast in all known channels and frequencies, "Hello, citizens of the universe. The Invaders have struck their first blow against the Confederacy. Triangulum is under attack."
