This series is a crossover from star wars and before halo 2 is set to go. Just keep an open mind when reading this series and I hope everyone enjoys. Just to let everyone know I will be referring to Dimmu Borgir and alot of political ideologies and of humanity in this series to create a bit of insite and achieve a bit philosophical thinking. Basically, my goal is to make people think.
Prologue:
Regrets Carrier
System: Unknown
Date: ://Data Corruption>
Terminated…….
Regret looked at the image screens within the bridge of his carrier. His fleet had just jumped into this supposedly uninhabited system a few minutes ago but to his dismay, fleet intelligence had gotten the information wrong. To his splendor was a beautiful blue-green planet with raging landmasses and vivid oceans covered by clouds.
This planet was worthy of gods, and definitely the Covenant, however the Humans had already claimed it. They desecrated it with their filthy footsteps and, to his horror, laid a trap for his miniscule fleet.
His commanders told him that at least 300 orbital battle platforms covered that planet and that they had a fleet numbering over 500 ships. The scanners tagged at least a quarter of the ships but the rest came up as unknown.
"Shipmaster, have the fleet engage the vermin and keep out of range from those platforms." Regret wheezed, "We all have seen what damage they can do to our ships."
"Yes Excellency, I have dispatched incursion pods to take out those platforms, the rest of the fleet is forming up for a broadside."
"SHIPMASTER! One of the unknown ships has a massive energy buildup, take a look," interjected the Shangelii tactical officer.
This was a huge ship, easily distinguishable to be human but much larger than any of past human ship the Covenant had encountered. The scanners had picked it up to be 6 km long and giant round bulges on its sides. This ship was flanked by dagger and fin shaped ships, also not recognizable front the Covenant data banks.
"All ships form line and charge weapons, on my command unleash hell," the shipmaster thundered.
Regret looked on as his fleet started to form up and launch their single ship fighters. He consolidated himself with the known facts that human ships were inferior to his own by firepower and ruggedness. It took three of the vermin's to take out one of his picket ships and he would prove again that this was just the same case.
"Shipmaster, why haven't we engaged the humans yet? Half their fleet should be in pieces by now."
"Excellency, we are waiting for them to get in range, and for our infiltator crafts to take out their platforms," the shipmaster responded. "As a matter of fact here they come."
The large human ship turned towards the Covenant fleet and started to have visible energy charge up on one of its bulges until it became too bright to look at. Suddenly, the human ship discharged the field right at the alien fleet.
"Brace for impact," roared the Shipmaster has the field washed over their entire fleet.
"Sir, we have lost all main and backup power, the shields and weapons are down and propulsion is lost," reported the operations officer.
"Excellency, the entire fleet is drifting; we are dead in the water."
The next thing Regret saw was the human and alien ships close in and bombard his ships with their crude projectile weaponry and also to his bewilderment, lasers. Unlike the lasers the Covenant ships used, these alien ones blasted right through the thick battle armor on his ships; even their plasma weapons couldn't have done it that easily.
One by one his ships were being destroyed, their hulls being pulverized by the constant bombardment of hypervelocity slugs and missiles, plus the high yield lasers. This continued for a few minutes until the leviathan of the human ships was sitting on top of Regret's own.
"Shipmaster, is there nothing you can do to get the power back on?" Regret questioned.
"Excellency, we have never encountered such weaponry before, even from the Forerunners. We have to get you out of here; I think the vermin are going to storm the ship."
"I will not run! I am one of the Hierarchs and the gods are on my side. Have all troops prepare to repel boarders and get the power back on."
"As you will, Excellency." The Shipmaster bowed to Regrets commands just as a blast rocked the ship.
