The Drathian Civil War [IC/OPEN]

In Orbit of Drathia
A good number of the rebel ships were disabled or destroyed by the Keltaken barrage. However, a greater number managed to slip away. They'd be making a few randomized hops before returning to base, just to ensure that their signatures couldn't be followed so easily. For now, the Keltaken force would have to be happy that they managed to capsize 1o out of the 45 remaining rebel ships.

Those incapacitated didn't go down without a fight, though. Even though engines were down on most of the ships, their main and side batteries were still fully operational. They began to open fire on the Keltakens, not in the broad away used by a more fully equipped naval force, but rather, utilizing a sort of highly focused barrage aimed specifically at the Butcher's ship. Most Drathians, rebel or otherwise, absolutely detested Karraka for his rutheless killing of their people. Even the Fylkja herself found herself spitting his name. It was no surprise, then, that his vessel was the main target of the rebel counterattack.

Those ships that were still mobile wheeled around to protect their damaged comrades, forming the frontal body of the rebel formation as their shields were put onto maximum to better protect themselves from the very quickly nearing Keltaken fleet.

Drathian Surface
It was overkill, nay, a complete bloodbath. Not for the first time did Keltaken orbital shells hit the Drathian surface, but this was not the main concern of the people down below. There were only three remaining rebel big guns, and loyalist troops had went forward to capture and secure them for later use. However, both loyalists and rebels were mercilessly slaughtered by the indiscriminant Keltaken bombing. Where there once was a hopefully peaceful capture of rebel soldiers, now lay craters and smoke.

High Command was in an uproar. From their perspective, the Keltakens had come in unannounced, and decided to begin bombing the surface, just as they had during their first meeting with the Drathians. It wouldn't stand. Anti-Orbital cannons were charged up, and pointed themselves at the Keltaken fleet. Their barrels glew with the intense blue light of readied plasma rounds, excellent for tearing through shields and disabling systems, though not as effective against armour.

Two transmissions were sent, one to Karraka, the other to Radford.



It was a grim message, one that went to show how fiercly the Drathians would defend their home, going so far as to even fire upon their own allies in order to ensure the integrity of the Drathian planet. Luckily, the transmission for Radford took a much lighter note.

"Karraka You are hereby ordered to stand down damn it." Daga pounded his fist onto his control panel it was his falt that the trigger happy idiot had been allowed to fire..."This is a perfect way to start things off now isn't it...Karraka focus on the main threat of the surviving traitors..do with them what you will they are under your jurisdiction." Daga quickly sent a reply to the planet. 

With a deep sigh he sent the message scared nearly out of his mind, to most people keltakens where brutes or mad scientists. Daga was neither, he is a gentlemen if their ever was one to be found in a Keltaken. He is kind, gentle, but strong willed, just the type of person to stand up to Zarraka and keep him in his place. The galaxy only knows how much it is needed in a trying time like this.

Daga and his fleet began to move towards the surface of the planet to drop off supplies, leaving Karraka to deal with the remaining forces in space...Karraka had horrible plans for any he caught surviving, "Ram them, then initiate the Karra Run." a maneuver the Keltaken forces had slowly begun to adopt and a change in ship design, the Karra run made use of a new special design in Keltaken ships, by increasing forward shields and using their front as a ram they would plow into enemy vessels head on and attempt to pierce throught it enough to open up its own hanger doors which had been relocated to the front of this ship for easier deployment. Once this was done Mech troopers would storm the inside of the enemy vessle and attempt to take it or destroy it. "Those not intiating the run are to provide cover fire, power to all forward guns I want them taken or blown to bits I don't care which just make it painful."

The relief supplies and other effects where starting their descent on the planet stun rounds where chambered into the turrets to try and minimize casualties, Daga hoped he wouldn't have to have his men fire at all. "This will be....interesting to say the very least...I hope that things go as planned"

Daga was trying to meet the agression of the Human with passive argument, showing the points of the situation and that he was not truly the enemy, he hopped this would throw the human off balance and at the least get him to consider that he was not an enemy 

Now that the fighting over the planet had successfully been secured at least over the space conflict Daga hoped that he could get a good look at a human since he had never seen one in person.

Despite the protests of a few officers Daga made ready and soon his shuttle had taken off for the Colonial vessel. He came armed with nothing and in truth he did not look truly keltaken. He was a pale creature with no tail, he was taller and his face was more flat much like a humans. This was due to his batches genetic manipulation. Having taken in a species much like the humas and used there DNA for their own purpose some speculated that this is why Daga has been such a voice of peace and change, Even still his blood was still Keltaken and he was no push over if provoked he could defend himself.
