Gal’Yeigher, High Orbit
“The Empresses Perpetual Domain” Cathedral Class Unitarian Dreadnaught
In urban warfare, nothing is spared.
In the Metropolis, War is not ever expected, and the ruin it brings is not accounted for in the construction of their great spires that once rose above the land. Some of the dust has still yet to settle from their collapse. The strategic Orbital bombardment has prevented the vast majority of the Yaerian Military from ever meeting us. The records they had indicated that six billion Yaerians lived on Gal’Yeigher, before the occupation. The ruin of war has brought that number down to an estimated five billion, decreasing every day.
Unitarian ground troop losses are numbered in the millions. Whether the Unitarian Empire Administratum wanted to admit it or not, invading highly populated planets without burning them to ashes is perhaps one of the most complex, intricate, and deadly maneuvers of civilization. The advent of the ground-based anti-transport guns has killed thousands upon thousands, resulting in the need for a resolute push from relatively uninhabited and low-infrastructure zones. Infrastructure, ground emplacements, logistical drop off zones and resource depots had to be built from scratch, but the push still grew. we had one specialization above all; maneuvers could take their time and numbers. Millions of casualties are noted, calculated and used for future endeavors while the next legion is pushed into the abyss.
In front of Fleet Lord, Adriana Senur was an En-Sen-Pair. It stirred as its name was called by Senur himself, turning from the console that controlled one of the Dreadnaughts bombardment weapons and turned to the Lord.
“Sir?”
“ you have been using Tactical level ordinance on Strategic targets.”
“...Yes, my Lord”
He was honest, he owned up to his mistakes, which is much more than expected of his ilk, which is honestly what he did not expect.
“Switch back to your designated arms level and do not make that mistake again.”
He was worth more to him alive than dead now.
“They are within the expected block, sir.”
“Good, deploy the Ramparts.”
“Understood.”
To the Positronic, these words meant nothing. Miscellaneous Audio from a friendly to another friendly by the electromagnetic commune. What meant true power was the directed signal to its communications module, which dictated it to turn on. The motors in its limbs stirred, as both of the guns on its hands whirred, locking the specially designed electronics into place.it’s legs moved it out of the pile of debris it was stored in, and its five fellow synthetics called out, and a Tactical Network was formed.
Five Rampart class Siege Frames moved in, with the support of a Redoubt Scout Frame in the sky.
In their sights was 200 Unitarian soldiers, a company.
As they peered of the rooftops, the Charge Lances in their hands clicked a small sensor, indicating that they were fully ready to begin firing.
They waited for the confirmation signal.
For thirty seconds, they waited until they were in optimal shooting positions as designated by their superiors, and the first of the entrapments detonated.
The Charge Lances clicked and then roared, as the inert metal was magnetically accelerated along the barrel and straight into an enemy.
They were not wearing much in terms of protection, the equivalent of a kevlar vest and coverings on their limbs with just a simple helmet.
Each time the lances fired, another kill or disabled soldier was scored.
The second entrapments detonated, and around a third of the company was dead.
After twenty seconds from the first confirmed kill, returning fire occurred.
A Gyrojet shell blew off the arm of one Rampart.
Minimal damage was received from another.
The third set of charges exploded, collapsing a building and preventing their retreat.
One Rampart was rendered offline from an enemy grenade.
The Battle Frames abruptly stopped firing on a seemingly automatic rate, merely scanning the debris and the battlefield for anything that stirs, before putting a metal bolt into it.
The entire area was promptly obliterated with a tactical level bombardment.
All two hundred enemy combatants were killed in action, and only a single Rampart class Siege Frame and the Redoubt Frame was recovered.
Battle report: The weapons of the Yaerian Republic.
Separated into five sub-divisions of different make, the enemy uses a wide variety of different methods to wage warfare, and paradoxically, it works.We are still not sure if we have discovered every single way of propulsion they have devised to make into a ranged weapon, and we even have unconfirmed reports of both melee weapons exclusively used by some personnel along with “scorched earth” tactics in play.
The most common weapon we have found are chemically propelled derivative weapons, which constitute two categories of weapons, followed by enemy designated “Charge Lances”, then “Phazon Rifles”, and then the rarest weapon of the “Linear Rifle”.
The usage of chemical propellant weapons separated into two categories, the first of which are the military grade “cannons” which fire a maelstrom of flak, used for both anti-personnel and anti-aircraft activities, along with a standard rifle, pistol, and SMG packages.
The Civilian Manufactured weapons are a Hodgepodge mix of unstandardized and appearing homemade weapons with dubious effect unless used in numbers, which has been exactly the case as made by the enemy. The enemy has the ability to easily manufacture this variety of weapons and it is expected that they will be in prevalent use until all of the enemies fabricators are either confiscated or destroyed. Due to the likely dire ammo shortages, usage of the more exotic weapons will move towards chemically propelled weapons and perhaps Charge Lances due to the exotic materials required for the production of ammunition.
The second most common weapon derivative is so-called Charge Lances, essentially rapid fire railguns. Only required a needle of magnetic material to fire and a large source of power, ammunition should be easy to acquire for the enemy to use, priority on combatants with these weapons. the weapons are simple enough that replication has already been done, but the finer aspects of the weapon still allude us.
The third most common weapon derivative is the Phazon Rifles. They fire short-range bolts of plasma which decimate armor and infantry with great effect, however, usage will decline due to the lack of volatile elements required to refill the magazines. The basic premise of the weapon is understood and prototypes have been made.
The most dangerous weapon is the Linear Rifle. It fires a three-inch long metal rod at incredible speeds using a mix of magnetic rails, particle accelerators, and pre-made exotic particles. The weapon essentially uses a strange and utterly baffling set up of accelerators to cause a series of explosions in the barrel (Most likely antimatter-matter annihilation) to find a bolt of extremely durable metal at utterly insane speeds, often burrowing through the walls of starships and bunkers. Some configurations are less used as anti-personnel rifles and more anti-material, slamming into a shuttle and imparting the vast majority of its kinetic energy as a bludgeoning blow rather than piercing the hull. Other variants have shorter barrels and a stripped out auto targeting system, their true purpose unknown. Replication of this weapon is still ongoing, all attempts so far have failed, in part due to the incredibly advanced computer that controls the reaction, which will not respond to non-authorized Personnel. Guerilla elements have used this rifle in extreme effect to eliminate commanding individuals from extreme distances.
Humanity has colonized the entirety of its solar system, and one other planet outside of the solar system.
Which world will get attacked?
