Karraka was ready, with his troops armed and ready they started to warp out of system off to the next part of his plan the razing of a traitor world, he would destroy it totally, as most Keltaken conquests would go the world would be burned into cinders and then a terraformer would be brought into the system quickly to let nature return to the world and new life emerge the process would be tedious but in the end it would ensure total destruction of the enemy. The unlucky planet that had been target for this very razing was the major darthan world of Norga said to be held by traitors and with it they would utterly crush the Darthans wither or not this truly would break the will of the traitors or rally them Karraka cared very little. "Send them a message and then once it finishes start the attack no ship gets out of this system slaughter everything..." true to his word Karraka would kill and destroy everything in his path or his troops would die trying. For the Empire they would all bear witness to the true hatred and destruction a Keltaken can create.
"To the population of this world, all communications outside of this planet are being jammed, you have been designated as a threat to the Empire and charged with the crime of Treason and attacking citizens of the Empire, for this crimes I invoke the Right of Vengeance on your entire planet and have sentenced you all to death. To the Keltakens on this world your sacrifices will not be in vain. Long live the Empire and Long live the Empress." The message was short and patriotic, Karraka thought a mad man and a butcher to some was the very poster boy of a Keltaken soldier willing to do everything that he thought was right for the empire. Blocker Beacons where set up in a net all over the space around the planet meant to shut off all cries or help that could come from the Traitors mouths. Any true keltaken on the planet would have gone down fighting once the message was heard once it came many grabbed whatever weapon they could and attacked just about anyone they knew as a traitor others would have found some honorable way to kill themselves like suicide bombing.
Almost the second the net was finished Karraka and his forces began to shell the planet the from orbit, all was to be exterminated but things where going to slowly...Karraka was even contemplacting passing the right of purge and using the purge vessle usually this would need approval from the empress however with all communcations cut off it would make the job much easier...and it wasn't like someone was going to get out and tell let alone know of the right of purge to bring up at a trail. "Perpare the purge vessel to fire...we will cleanse this planet in holy fire..." one of the soldiers nodded, "Right away my Lord"

Drathia
The Spymaster listened to both the Colonials and Confederates, offering them both a sharp toothed smile. She was glad to be met with such friendliness, especially from humans. She personally didn't hate their kind, but there was always a tension between her and them. In Drathian society, torn between the near worship of humans thanks to their preventing the extinction of the Drathian people, and those resentful of their unbreakable shield of xenophobia and aiding the Keltakens, Taka stood in the middle. Any action, be it kind or not, could easily sway her opinion of the species. Thankfully, this group seemed to be polite enough to keep her on her good side.
"The Hegemon is inside, if you'll follow me?" She turned on her heel, beginning to make her way to the Citadel proper. "As for Intelligence helping us defend the planet, I'm not sure that should be too neccessary. While most of our military compounds are in rebel control, the majority of our agricultural and manufacturing worlds still remain loyal. They'll soon find that replacing their equipment will become much more difficult without the crown's aid. Hopefully, if we can outlast them, there can be a peaceful compromise." As she walked, Taka frowned. "I fear though, that the Keltakens will prove a much greater threat than the rebels. If I know the tactics of Karraka, and believe me, I do, then he will try to enact a genocide on whatever world he comes upon."
Taka stopped just infront of the doors, pushing them open before continuing to speak. "By genocide, I mean destroying planets. There will be billions of casualties if he is allowed to succeed, and doing so, would be a direct act of war against the Fylkirate. These rebels are just that, rebels. They are not some sort of seperate political identity, and the territories they hold are to be considered systems in revolt. If Karraka destroys a rebel planet, he'll be destroying a Fylkirate one by extension." She turned around, her back facing the door to one of the luxury suites which likely held the Hegemon. "I don't think I need to tell you what happens if a member of the IIA decides to violate the agreement."
Orbit of Norga
Once the Keltakens had jumped into the system containing the rebel capital, they were met with a fleet, a rather large one. The ships had their weapons charged in advance, and the moment they had the Keltakens in their sight, began to open fire upon the enemy, first using their long range Pike Beam weapons, trying to shear through the Keltaken plating and armour so that close combat would be easier when the time came. A majority of the fire, was focused on the Purge Ship. It was imperative to the Drathian rebels that it was not allowed to charge up its devestating primary weapon.
There was hope yet, however, for the defenders. Norga was a military compound, sporting thick planetary shields and a multitude of Anti-Orbital cannons. It also had a grand total of two moons, each equipped with refueling stations and their own Anti-Ship batteries, which began to open fire at the Vanguard of the Keltaken fleet in hopes of smashing their main offensive capabilities whilst leaving the tender rear guard ships open to attack. The entire preparedness of the rebel force was disturbing. Even for a military base, the planet was too well defended, too organized and ready for this attack. As a second rebel fleet warped into the system just behind the Keltakens, it was soon known why. The entire thing was a trap.
Karraka recieved a holomessage, which hopefully wouldn't be blocked by the communications scrambler. The figure appearing on the screen was none other than General Shred-Freak himself.
The transmission cut off, but that did not signal the end of the Drathian aggressions. This new second fleet began to charge its weapons, their crosshairs locking on to the Keltaken engines. Shred-Freak himself, staring at the scene through the windows on the bridge of his ship, turned his hunched, cloaked form away towards the corridor with a hacking cough.
"Disable their engines, and fire the chain beams." He rasped to one of his retainers. "I want to board his ship and kill him myself."

"Disable their engines, and fire the chain beams." He rasped to one of his retainers. "I want to board his ship and kill him myself." Karraka was needless to say caught off guard by the sudden preparedness of the enemy...even still Karraka and the highers above prepared for this situation, a third inquisitional fleet had been lieing in wait prepared for immident jump into any system Karraka was prepared to go to. This Fleet was in reserve for the specific purpose of traitor removal. If Karraka did survive this battle, he would have some explaining to do about the charging of the Purge vessel. "Damn...Looks like i have little choice they have me outgunned and the purge vessel requires more time to prepare to fire...Call them in..they wont be happy but we found there main base or operations this planet mut be eliminated even if i have to destroy the very sun it uses to survive...." Karraka ordered an Iron wall maneuver. The fleet moved back trying to keep out of effective fireing range of their moons guns and charge up the purge vessel. "Give us a quick mass warp jump us just on the other side of their planet so we can have it between us and their moon then form up and prepare for a counter attack. After we jump your ordered to send out the alter beacon and draw the 8th to our position, The hunters will enjoy getting to put down some of these fools. Mass jump on my mark." One key aspect of keltaken Technology was known as the mass jump. Allowing them to quickly jump from one position to another by pooling FTL this allowed each ship to mass small quantities and still move with the rest of the fleet, this move even allowed for the keltaken to keep weapons operational though warp space. "Three...Two...One WARP!" he shouted and in a blink it would appear as if the entire keltaken fleet had just disintegrated in truth a few had, forced mass jumps where disastrous when not done with sufficeint time to pool FTL. several ships where lost but the majority of the fleet had moved to a more defensible position on the other side of the planet using it almost as a shield. with what time they had left of their little suprise the Keltakens launched a special Inquisitonal beacon asking for support. This would draw not only the hunters but also Daga's fleet which specalized in EMP bombardment, able to shut down systems in fighters with ease and in a high enough quantity even larger vessels. The Hunters had taken the signal and would arrive shortly. While he waited Karraka set about forming the Iron wall with his fleet, an array of ships all centered around the purge vessel while it charged only an hour and the planets shield stood between this planet and annihilation...now however Karraka had to worry about ensuring the wrath of the Hunters. "They must see the desperation in this situation...or it may be my head on the chopping block..." |

Wood thought on Taka's words, and said evenly, "Don't worry too much about the rebels, or the Keltakens either. If the need arises, Intelligence will defend the Fylkirate against the Inquisition as well. We don't serve the Empire. Intelligence works for the good of the whole IIA, and we will not allow Karaka to damage it. The Fylkirate has just as much value as any of the Founding Three, and you'll be defended as such." He then added, "But you have suggested our presence on the planet is unnecessary. Intelligence will be on standby in nearby Acruani systems until you call for aid."

"Well, considering that this is the Keltakens we are talking about, I'm not surprised at all.", the blonde haired Colonial officer answered, maintaining her calm attitude."Genocide, war, treason. These are the only things the Keltakens are good at. A situation like this would have been unavoidable.", she continued."But we have learned our lesson long ago. Not only are the Federated Colonies bound by the Treaty and the Ultimatum of the Moon, but we have no wish no exaggerate the tensions with the Keltakens any further. The Colonies aren't going to intervene or do anything about that. The Keltakens are the sole problem of the IIA.".
The officer girl then also stopped, looking at the Drathian spymaster. "I don't know why the Hegemon has come to Drathia. Whatever his motives were must have been pretty important, that's sure. But with genocidal Keltakens on the loose, we'd like to be able to leave as soon as possible from this cursed planet."
