Ancient Human Supercarrier Awakens, Stuns Galactic Coalition | HFY Sci-Fi Story

the norcan boarding pods slammed into the ancient human warships Hull the screeching crash of metal on metal echoing through the void of space as the galactic Coalition forces sought to capture the derelict relic of Humanity's lost Glory but the USS retribution would not go quietly into the night deep in the bowels of the retribution emergency lights flickered to life and cryopods hissed open as the ship's long dormant crew began to stir on the bridge Captain Christian scorer pulled himself to his feet his muscles atrophied from centuries in cryostasis he staggered to the command console his vision blurry his mind racing to process the chaos erupting around his ship status report scora barked his voice hoarse from disuse Sir we've got multiple hostile boarding craft attached to our Hull the sensor officer replied her fingers flying across her console they're orcadian sir and they're trying to hack into our systems scor's blood ran cold the norcan the very aliens who had brought the once Mighty Terran Alliance to its knees the ones who had forced Humanity to flee into the depths of space seeking Refuge Among the Stars and now they had found the retribution but scora would be damned if he let them take his ship without a fight activate the energy Shields he ordered and prime the plasma cannons in if they want to fight we'll give them one as the retribution's ancient weapon systems hum to life scora opened a com channel to the nadian flagship the face of Admiral vortis the leader of the galactic Coalition filled the view screen his features Twisted in a sneer of contempt human vortis spat as if the very word left a foul taste in his mouth your kind is extinct nothing more than a footnote in the annals of Galactic history Surrender Your Ship and I may Grant you a quick death scora squared his shoulders his jaw set with Defiance I am captain Christian scorer of the Teran Alliance he declared his voice ringing with authority and I will not surrender my ship to the likes of you ves's eyes narrowed his face contorting with rage the Terran Alliance is dead he snarled the galactic Coalition rules the stars now and we will take what is our by force if necessary scora cut the transmission his heart pounding in his chest he knew the odds were stacked against him the retribution was an ancient Relic its weapons and shields untested after centuries of disuse and the nadian had the might of the entire Galactic Coalition at their backs but scora had something the nadian did not he had the unbreakable will of a human forged in the fires of adversity and tempered by the unforgiving depths of space and he would fight to his last breath to protect his ship and his crew for the USS retribution was more than just a ship it was a symbol of Humanity's resilience a testament to their indomitable spirit and scora would not let that symbol fall into the hands of the enemy as the norcan ships closed in their weapons primed and ready scora stealed himself for the battle to come it would be a fight for the ages a CL of Wills between the last remnants of humanity and the might of the galactic Coalition and the stakes could not be higher for if the retribution fell it would be the end of Humanity's Legacy the final nail in the coffin of a once great civilization but if they could hold the line if they could beat back The norcan Horde and reclaim their place Among the Stars Then Humanity would rise again stronger and more resilient than ever before and the Galaxy would tremble before the might of the Terran Alliance once more Captain scora hunched over the command console his brow furrowed in concentration as he poured over the retribution system Diagnostics the ship was in rough shape after centuries of neglect but she still had some fight left in her as he scrolled through the data a flashing icon caught his eye Athena what's this he asked tapping the screen the ship's AI materialized ized beside him her holographic form casting a soft blue glow over the bridge captain that is an encrypted data packet from the Teran Alliance archives it contains information on a network of hidden outposts and Supply caches scattered throughout the Galaxy scor's eyes widened the alliance had a backup plan Athena nodded affirmative in the event of the alliance's Fall these outposts were designed to provide support and resources for any surviving human ships or colonies a glimmer of hope flared in scor's chest can we access these outposts yes Captain I have the necessary coordinates and access codes scora straightened a plan forming in his mind all right here's what we're going to do we'll use these outposts to resupply and repair the retribution while also Gathering Intel on the current state of the Galaxy we need to know what we're up against if we're going to have any chance of surviving in this he turned to his crew his voice ringing with authority I want engineering teams working around the clock to get our weapons and defenses back online and I want our fighter squadrons prepped and ready to go we're going to need them for some hitandrun attack against the norcan blockade as the crew scrambled to carry out his orders scora turned his attention to the view screen where the nadian ships loomed like hungry wolves circling their prey on the bridge of the norcan flagship Admiral vortis slammed his fist against the arm of his chair his face Twisted in frustration how is that human Relic still operational he snarled it should have been nothing more than space dust by now his tactical officer flinched sir our scans indicate that the retributions Shields and weapons systems are coming back online it appears the humans are more resourceful than we anticipated vor's eyes narrowed I want a tight blockade maintained around that ship nothing gets in or out without my permission and dispatch Scout ships to search for any signs of human activity in the surrounding systems I don't want any surprises he turned to his Communications officer send a message to the galactic coalition's ruling Council inform them of the situation and request reinforcements we cannot allow this human threat to spread has the nadian fleet tightened its grip around the retribution scora and his crew worked feverishly to bring their ship back to fighting form Engineers swarmed over the ancient systems coaxing life back into long dormant circuits and power relays in the hanger Bay fighter pilots ran pre-flight checks on their newly repaired craft itching for the chance to strike back at their alien foes but even as they prepared for battle Athena sensors detected a new threat Captain an orcadian Scout ship is approaching one of our hidden Outpost posts if they discover its location scor's jaw clenched they'll cut off our Lifeline before we even have a chance to use it he turned to his crew his eyes blazing with determination we're out of time we need to secure that Outpost before the norcan can take it out prepare for immediate departure the crew of the retribution belted themselves into their stations the ancient ship rumbled to life its engines flaring with new purpose as it surged forward ready to meet the enemy head on Captain scora gripped the armrests of his command chair as The retributions Fighter Squadron screamed out of the hangar Bay the Sleek angular craft streak towards the norcan Scout ship their weapons primed and ready scorer watched the Tactical display with baited breath his heart pounding in his chest as his Pilots engaged the enemy vessel the norcan ship was no match for the advanced human Fighters SC Squadron swarmed around the larger vessel like a pack of wolves peppering its Shields with plasma fire and targeting its critical systems with surgical Precision in a matter of minutes the norcan ship was disabled its engines crippled and its weapons offline prepare a boarding party scora ordered rising from his chair I want that ship secured and its crew in our custody the retributions Marines made short work of the nadian crew subduing them with stun rounds and and hering them into the brig scora stood before the captured aliens his eyes narrowed as he studied their fearful faces why were you scouting this region of space he demanded his voice cold and hard the nadian captain a thin re creature with bulbous eyes stammered out a response we were ordered to search for human activity he said his voice quavering the galactic Coalition fears your kind even after all these centuries scor's lips curled in a humorous smile and what has the Coalition been doing in our absence he asked how have they been treating the species that once called the Teran Alliance friends rage boiled up inside scora and he slammed his fist against the wall the norcan had not only destroyed the Terran Alliance but had also subjugated and exploited its former allies the Injustice of it all made his blood run hot we will not let this stand he growled his eyes blazing with determination the Terran Alliance may be gone but Humanity still lives and we will fight to liberate our friends and allies from your tyranny with the norcan ship captured scora and his crew were able to use its codes and transponder to infiltrate the hidden human Outpost undetected they moved quickly transferring much needed supplies and spare parts to the retribution while Athena's drones worked to repair the damaged systems as the retributions crew labored to restock and rearm their ship Athena called scora to the outposts Command Center Captain I've discovered a longrange communication array she said her holographic form gesturing to a large circular device it appears to be designed to send encrypted messages across vast distances scor's heart leaped in his chest can we use it to contact any other human survivors he asked barely daring to Hope Athena nodded I believe so Captain I can encode a message that will only be decipherable by human technology it may take some time to reach its intended recipients but it's our best chance of finding allies in this new Galaxy scora stepped up to the communication array his fingers flying over the console as he composed his message this is Captain Christian scorer of the Teran Alliance vessel retribution he began his voice steady and strong to any human Survivor is hearing this message know that you are not alone the Teran Alliance lives on and we will not rest until we have restored our rightful place in the galaxy to the galactic Coalition know this we are coming for our allies and we will not stop until they are free from your oppression the Teran Alliance is not dead and we will rise again with a final keystroke scora sent the message winging its way across the Stars a Beacon of Hope for any humans still out there but even as the retributions crew celebrated their successful infiltration of The Outpost Admiral vortis received word of the loss of his Scout ship the norcan commander slammed his fist against his console his face contorted with rage I want that human ship found and destroyed he snarled his eyes burning with hatred recall all our ships from their current assignments we will converge on their location and crush them once and for all as the norcan fleet began to gather scora and his crew prepared for the fight of their lives they knew that the coming battle would be the ultimate test of their skill and courage a desperate struggle against overwhelming odds but they also knew that They Carried the hopes and dreams of all Humanity on their shoulders and they would not let their species down the retribution's engines flared to life as scora took his place on the bridge his eyes fixed on The View screen as the norcan ships began to appear on the long range sensors the crew of the ancient super carrier stood ready their weapons primed and their hearts filled with a fierce determination to defend their ship and their people until The Bitter End the norcan ship swarmed around the retribution a seething mass of alien metal bristling with weapons on the bridge of the human super carrier Captain scor's eyes narrowed as he watched the Tactical display the enemy fleet was closing in fast their intentions clear Captain the norcan are launching their attack the sensor officer called out her voice Tau with tension scor's lips curled into a grim smile let them come he growled we have a surprise in store for them he turned to the engineering station where chief engineer Adara Patel was hunched over her console Adara is the phase shift Drive ready Patel looked up her face stre with grease and sweat yes sir she said her voice filled with Fierce Pride we've restored the drive to full functionality just give the word scorer nodded his heart pounding with anticipation activate the phase shift on my mark he ordered 3 2 1 it Mark the retribution shuddered as the experimental Drive engaged the ship's Hull shimmering and distorting as it slipped out of normal space for a heartbeat the bridge was plunged Into Darkness the only light coming from the glowing consoles and the distant Stars beyond the viewports then with a burst of light and a triumphant Roar from the crew the retribution reappeared behind the nadian fleet catching the enemy ships completely off guard the retribution's weapons erupted in A Storm of plasma and missiles tearing into the nadian ships with devastating Precision the alien vessels reeled under the onslaught their Shields flaring and their hulls buckling under the Relentless barrage but the norcan were far from De defeated recovering from their initial shock they wheeled around to face the retribution their own weapons Spitting Fire and death the space between the two fleets became a seething Maelstrom of Destruction with both sides taking heavy damage as the battle raged on amidst the chaos scora saw a group of norcan ships break away from the main Fleet trying to flank the retribution and catch it in a deadly Crossfire launch Fighters he snapped his eyes is never leaving the Tactical display intercept those flanking ships and take them out in the retributions hanger Bay the human Pilots raced to their Fighters their faces Grim with determination as they streaked out into the void they were met by a swarm of norcan attack craft and the space around the retribution erupted into a dizzying WHL of dogfights and desperate Maneuvers we're taking heavy losses sir the weapons officer reported his face pale and sweat soaked we can't hold out much longer scora gritted his teeth his mind racing they needed a miracle a way to turn the tide of the battle before it was too late suddenly Athena's voice cut through the din of battle Captain I'm detecting an incoming transmission from a nearby system it's a human signal scor's heart leaped in his chest put it through he commanded hardly daring to hope the view screen flickered to life and the face of a grizzled battle scarred human appeared Captain scora this is Admiral Elena Vasquez of the new Teran Alliance the woman said her voice filled with Fierce Pride we received your message and we stand ready to fight at your side scor's eyes widened in disbelief Admiral Vasquez I thought we were the last of our kind Vasquez shook her head a fierce grin spreading across her face you're not alone Captain we've been rebuilding in secret salvaging what we could of the old alliance's technology and now we're ready to take the fight to the norcan scora felt a surge of renewed hope and determination flood through him then let's show these alien bastards what humanity is made of he growled he turned to Patel his eyes glinting with a wild desperate plan Adara can you make another jump with a phase shift drive right into the heart of the norcan fleet hesitated for a moment then nodded firmly yes sir but it'll be a rough ride scora grinned fiercely do it the retribution shuddered and vanished once again only to reappear seconds later in the midst of the nadian formation the alien ships scattered in panic and confusion their formation disintegrating as the human supercarrier Unleashed a devastating Barrage at Point Blank Range the norcan ships reeled and spun some of them colliding with each other in their desperate attempts to evade the retributions fire explosions blossomed across the void as the human weapons found their marks tearing through the alien hulls with brutal efficiency on the bridge of the norcan flagship Admiral vortis slammed his fist against his console in Rage and frustration the human ship had outmaneuvered him at every turn and now his fleet was in disarray his ships being picked off one by one by the retribution 's Relentless Onslaught order a retreat he snarled his voice filled with bitter rage All Ships withdraw immediately as the norcan fleet limped away from the battlefield their hulls battered and their pride shattered the crew of the retribution erupted in cheers and shouts of Triumph they had done the impossible striking a blow against the mighty Galactic Coalition and proving that Humanity was far from defeated but even as they celebrated their hard-fought Victory scora knew that this was only the beginning the norcan would be back and they would not underestimate the humans again the war for Humanity's future was far from over and the crew of the retribution would need every ounce of their skill courage and determination to Prevail the retribution's engines flared as Captain scora set a course for the coordinates provided by the human survivors the ship tore through the void its crew busted Ling with a newfound sense of purpose they had struck a blow against the norcad but the fight was far from over as the retribution approached the asteroid field scora leaned forward in his command chair his eyes narrowing Athena scan for any signs of human activity the ai's holographic form shimmered to life beside him scanning now Captain a moment later she spoke again I've detected a hidden base carved into one of the larger asteroids it appears to be shielded from longrange sensors the retribution glided through the asteroid field its Shields flaring as it deflected the occasional chunk of space rock as they approached the hidden base a hail crackled over the Comm system unidentified vessel this is Grayson Reeves of the new Teran resistance State your identity and purpose scora smiled this is Captain Christian scora of the Teran Alliance vessel retri ution we received your message and have come to offer our assistance there was a moment of silence then Reeves's voice returned filled with a mix of relief and excitement Captain scora you have no idea how good it is to hear your voice we thought we were the last of our kind out here please dock with our BAS we have much to discuss the retribution slid into the base's hangar Bay settling down with a gentle thud scora and his senior officers disembarked their boots ringing against the metal deck as they were greeted by Reeves and his team Reeves was a tall broad-shouldered man with close cropped gray hair and a face etched with the lines of a hard life he clasped scor's hand firmly his eyes shining with a fierce Pride welcome to the new Teran resistance Captain we've been fighting the norcan for years Gathering Intel and striking where we can but with your help we might finally have a chance to turn the tide scor nodded grimly wek do whatever we can to help but first tell me about this weapon you mentioned in your message Reeves's face darkened it's worse than we feared Captain the norcan have been developing a Planet Killer a device capable of destroying entire worlds they call it the Doomsday Cannon scor's blood ran cold how close are they to completing it scor's jaw tightened he turned to his officers his eyes blazing with resolve we can't let that happen we need a plan to strike at the heart of the norcan War Machine and Destroy This weapon before it can be deployed as scora and Reeves began to formulate their strategy Admiral vores paced the bridge of his Flagship his face contorted with rage the galactic coalition's ruling Council had not been pleased with his failure to capture the retribution and their criticism still rang in his ears sa underestimated the humans Admiral they had said their voices dripping with contempt you allowed a single ship to humiliate the might of the norcan fleet this cannot stand vortis slammed his fist against the bulkhead his eyes burning with a fevered intensity he would not let this insult go unanswered he would hunt down the retribution and its crew no matter the cost he turned to his tactical officer his voice a low growl mobilize the fleet I want every ship every Soldier every weapon at our disposal ready for battle and prepare the Dreadnaught we'll show these humans the true power of the norcan war machine as the norcan fleet began to gather Athena's sensors picked up a faint signal from the far reaches of space scora and Reeves huddled around the console their eyes widening as they read the decoded message new teror scora breathed a hidden human Colony thriving in secret for centuries Reeves nodded a glimmer of hope in his eyes if we can secure an alliance with new Terror it could be the key to defeating the norcan once and for all scora turned to his second in command a fierce determination etched on his face take a team and establish contact with new Terror we need their support if we're going to have any chance of stopping the Doomsday Cannon as the team prepared to depart scora and Reeves turned their attention to the plan for for attacking the norcan weapons facility they poured over schematics and intelligence reports looking for any weakness they could exploit but even as they planned and plotted they knew that time was running out the norcan war machine was on the move and the fate of humanity hung in the balance the final confrontation was approaching and the crew of the retribution would need every ounce of their skill and courage to emerge Victorious leftenant Commander Mikel Petro's shuttle soared through the void the Sleek craft cutting through the inky Blackness of space as it approached the hidden colony of new Terror Petro leaned forward in his seat his eyes fixed on The View screen as the shuttle navigated the treacherous asteroid field that concealed the human settlement from prying nadian eyes as the shuttle emerged from the asteroid field petro and his team were greeted by a sight that took their breath away new Terror was a Marvel of human Ingenuity and resist iance a thriving Metropolis carved into the heart of a massive asteroid towering spires of gleaming metal and glass reached towards the Stars while a vast network of tunnels and Chambers honeycombed the asteroids interior the shuttle docked with one of new tera's many spaceports and petro and his team disembarked their boots ringing against the metal deck as they were greeted by a delegation of the colony's leaders the new Teran were a diverse group with Representatives from all walks of life scientists engineers soldiers and diplomats all United in their determination to preserve the legacy of humanity at first the new Teran leaders were cautious their eyes narrowed with suspicion as they regarded petro and his team but as Petro spoke his voice ringing with passion and conviction the leaders began to listen more intently we Face a common enemy Petro said his gaze sweeping over the assembled leaders the norcan seek to erase all traces of humanity from the Galaxy to crush our spirit and eradicate our way of life but together we can stand against them together we can reclaim our rightful place Among the Stars as Petro's words sank in the new Teran leaders began to nod their expressions shifting from caution to determination they knew that the time for hiding was over that the moment had come to take a stand against the norcan threat we will join you the new Teran prime minister said her voice strong and clear our resources our technology our people all are at your disposal in this fight against the norcan Petro clasped the prime minister's hand his eyes shining with gratitude and resolve together we will be unstoppable he said as the alliance between the retribution and new Terror was forged captain scora and Grayson Reeves launched their attack on the nor Cadian weapons facility the retribution shuddered as its phase shift Drive engaged the massive ship Vanishing from normal space and reappearing in the heart of the heavily guarded facility scora and Reeves LED their respective teams in a fierce ground assault their weapons blazing as they battled their way through the facility's labyrinthine corridors norcan soldiers swarmed to meet them their weapons spitting deadly energy bolts but the human forces fought with a ferocity born of desperation and righteous Fury Reeves and his Strike Team fought their way to the heart of the facility where the planet killing weapon was housed they moved with practiced Precision their movements honed by years of training and experience as they reached the weapons control room they were met by a wall of norcan Defenders their weapons trained on the human Intruders but Reeves and his team were undeterred with a roar of defiance they charged forward their weapons blazing as they cut through the norcan ranks the control room became a melstrom of chaos and destruction with energy bolts and shrapnel flying in all directions in the end Reeves and his team emerged Victorious the planet killing weapon reduced to a smoldering ruin but the victory was hard one with many of Reeves's team members laying down their lives to ensure the mission's success meanwhile scora and his crew fought to secure the facility's command center their weapons flashing as they battled wave after wave of norcan reinforcements the ground shook beneath their feet as explosions rocked the facility and the air was thick with the acrid smell of burning metal and ozone suddenly a massive Shadow fell over the facility and scor's blood ran cold he knew that shadow all too well it was the norcan dread nort Admiral vor's Flagship the Dreadnaught opened fire its weapons tearing through the facility Shields and walls like P scora knew that they had only moments before the entire facility was reduced to Rubble burying them all alive all units fall back to the retribution scora barked into his Comm his voice Roar with urgency we have to get out of here now as the human forces fought their way back to the retribution the massive ship shuddered under the onslaught of the dreadnots weapons the two vessels clashed in a Titanic space battle exchanging volleys of high power powered energy weapons and missiles that lit up the void like a thousand suns the retribution Shields flared and flickered under the dreadnots assault but the human ship fought back with everything it had its own weapons pounded against the dreadnots hull seeking out weak points and vulnerabilities as the battle raged scora received word from Reeves the planet killing weapon was destroyed the mission was a success but the victory was bittersweet as the toll on the human forces had been heavy with the weapon destroyed and the facility in Ruins scora knew that it was time to withdraw the retribution's phase shift Drive flared to life once more and the ship vanished into the void narrowly escaping destruction at the hands of vor's Dreadnaught the human forces regrouped at new Terror their hearts heavy with the weight of their losses they had struck a powerful blow against the norcan war machine but they knew knew that the fight was far from over as they mourned their fallen comrades and tended to their wounds scora and his allies began to plan their next move the norcan were weakened but still formidable and the humans knew that they would need every ounce of their strength and cunning to Prevail but they also knew that they were not alone with the combined might of the retribution new Terror and the indomitable human Spirit they would continue to fight to resist to R R against the darkness that threatened to engulf them all the war for Humanity's future was far from over but the crew of the retribution and their allies would never stop fighting never stop hoping never stop believing in the power of the human Spirit to overcome any obstacle no matter how great in the aftermath of the daring strike on the norcan weapons facility Captain scora and the crew of the retribution Savor their hard-fought Victory but their respit is short-lived a distress call from a nearby system cuts through the quiet of the bridge its urgency palpable captain we're receiving a transmission from a nadian rebel faction Athena reports her holographic form shimmering beside scora they're under attack by Admiral ves's forces and request immediate assistance sora's eyes narrow as he reads the message a plan already forming in his mind the enemy of my enemy he mutters a grim smile tugging at his lips Athena set a course for the rebel system let's show vortis that he's not the only one with friends in this galaxy the retribution flanked by a squadron of new Teran ships leaps into action its phase shift Drive tearing through the fabric of SpaceTime they emerge in the heart of the besieged system the rebel ships locked in a desperate struggle against the overwhelming might of the nadian fleet scoro Wast no time his orders crisp and precise Target their command ships aim for their engines and weapon systems we need to give those Rebels a Fighting Chance the retribution's weapons Roar to life Lancing out with searing beams of plasma and missiles that streak through the void the new Teran ships follow suit their advanced technology a match for the nadian vessels under scor's tactical Guidance the tide of the the battle shifts the norcan ships falter their formations crumbling under the Relentless onslaught of the human forces the rebel ships seize the opportunity darting through the gaps in the Enemy Lines and unleashing their own volleys of fire in the heart of the Rebel Flagship zon the leader of the norcan resistance watches the battle unfold with a mix of awe and relief he had heard stories of the legendary retribution and its indomitable human crew but to see them in action was something else entirely as The Last nadian Ship Falls Zakon haes the retribution his voice filled with gratitude Captain scora I am in your debt your intervention has saved countless lives and given us a chance to strike back against the tyranny of the norcan council scora nods his expression serious yet hopeful we have a common enemy zon and a common goal to end the nicadan reign of terror and restore fre fre to the Galaxy let us work together combine our strength and knowledge and we will be unstoppable zon's eyes glint with determination my people have been fighting from the shadows for too long we have information contacts and resources that could be of great value to your cause in return we ask only for your support and protection as we continue our work to undermine the norcan war machine from within scora extends his hand a symbol of the alliance forged In the Heat of battle you have my word zon the retribution and her crew will stand with you now and always as the rebel ships dock with the retribution a sense of hope and purpose fills the air the human Le Insurgency has gained a powerful new Ally and the norcan grip on the Galaxy suddenly seems far less certain but even as scora and zon begin to plan their next move a storm is brewing on the horizon Admiral vortis enraged by the retribution's continued Defiance and the growing unrest within his own ranks begins to descend into paranoia and Madness on the bridge of his Dreadnaught vortis Paces like a caged animal his eyes wild with Fury traitors he snars his voice dripping with Venom they are everywhere lurking in the shadows plotting against me he turns to his terrified subordinates his gaze burning with an Unholy light I want every officer every Soldier every technician vetted anyone with even a hint of disloyalty is to be executed on the spot we will Purge the rot from our ranks no matter the cost th vor's reign of terror Begins the norcan military fractures its unity and discipline crumbling under the weight of fear and suspicion scorer and his allies watch from afar their resolve hardening with each passing day across the Galaxy Whispers of the retribution's victories spread like wildfire the species of the galactic Coalition long oppressed under nadian rule begin to stir their eyes turning towards the distant light of Hope and freedom scora and his allies sensing the shifting Winds of Change prepare for their Most Daring campaign yet they will strike at the heart of the norcan war machine targeting its shipyards its factories its command centers they will bleed the Beast dry until it collapses under the weight of its own tyranny the retribution and her crew stand ready United in purpose and tempered by the fires of War they know that the road ahead will be long and bloody that the price of Victory will be steep but they also know that they are the Galaxy's last best hope the only ones who can light the spark that will ignite the Flames of Revolution and burn the norcan Empire to Ash as the retributions coordinated strikes against norcan targets swed chaos and Discord throughout the galactic Coalition Captain scora received an encrypted transmission from zon's Rebel Network the message contained intelligence about a secret nocan research facility hidden deep within a remote asteroid field scor's eyes narrowed as he read the report his brow furrowing with each disturbing detail the facility was rumored to be developing a new breed of bio engineered super soldier designed to be completely loyal to the norcan ruling Council and possess enhanced combat abilities far beyond those of ordinary troops the captain slammed his fist on the table the gravity of the situation weighing heavily on his shoulders if the norcan succeeded in creating an army of these super soldiers it could tip the balance of the war back in their favor undoing all the hard-fought gains the human Le resistance had made scora knew he had to act fast he summoned his most trusted officers and allies to the retributions War Room the holographic display casting an eerie glow over their Grim faces we have to take out that research facility scora declared his voice filled with Steely resolve if the norcan unleash those super soldiers on the Galaxy we'll be right back where we started leftenant Commander Petro scorer's second in command stepped forward I volunteer to lead the mission my team and I can infiltrate the facility and destroy it from the inside scora shook his head no Petro I need you here leading the retribution in my absence this Mission requires the best of the best and that includes me the captain turned to the new Teran Special Forces Commander a grizzled veteran named Axel Reese Commander ree I want your top operatives on this Mission we'll need their expertise to get past the facility's defenses over over the next few hours scora and his team poured over the intelligence gathered by zon's rebels formulating a plan to infiltrate the research facility they would use stolen norcan shuttlecrafts and disguises to slip past the facility's security measures then split into two teams to plant explosives in key locations throughout the complex as the retribution dropped out of phase shift near the asteroid field scora and his team prepared to depart Petro clasped the captain's hand hand his eyes filled with a mix of respect and concern good luck sir Petro said his voice tight with emotion we'll be waiting for your signal to extract you once the job is done scora nodded a grim smile on his face just make sure you're there when we need you Petro I don't plan on dying in some nadian hellhole today with that scora and his team boarded the stolen norcan shuttles their disguises in place and their weapons concealed as they approached the research facility the captain's heart raced with anticipation and Dread knowing that the fate of the Galaxy could hinge on the success of their mission the shuttles docked without incident the norcan guards barely glancing at the disguised humans as they passed through the airlock scora and his team moved quickly splitting into two groups as plann and making their way towards the facility's main research Labs as they entered the cavernous chamber scor's breath caught in his throat row upon row of stasis pods lined the walls each one containing a genetically modified nadian Soldier their bodies grotesquely enhanced with cybernetic implants and pulsing with unnatural energy my God ree whispered his face pale with horror what have they done scora shook his head his jaw clenched with anger they've created monsters commander and it's up to us to make sure these are Abominations never see the light of day the team set to work planting explosive charges at Key structural points throughout the lab but as they were preparing to move on to the next Target a group of norcan scientists and their Genetically Enhanced guards burst into the room alerted by a silent alarm Intruders one of the scientists shouted his voice shrill with panic stop them the norcan super soldiers surged forward their movements unnaturally fast and fluid scorer and his team opened fire their weapons spitting hot plasma as they tried to hold back the advancing horde the battle was brutal and bloody the humans using every ounce of their skill and training to outmatch the norcan Abominations scora fought like a man possessed his rifle blazing as he cut down one super soldier after another but the norcan kept coming their enhanced bodies shrugging off wounds that would have failed a normal Soldier scora heard a cry of pain and turned to see Petro fall his chest pierced by a crackling energy Blade the captain's heart sank as he realized the severity of Petro's wound there was no way his second in command would survive without immediate medical attention and there was no time to evacuate him before the charges detonated scora made a split-second decision one that would haunt him for the rest of his days with a heavy heart he ordered his team to fall back leaving Petra behind as they fought their way out of the facility the explosions ripped through the research Labs the stasis pods shattering and the Genetically Enhanced soldiers burning in The Inferno scora and his team barely made it to the shuttles the heat of the blast singing their hair and clothes as they sped away from the facility scora slumped in his seat his eyes haunted by the image of Petro's Fallen form the loss of his friend and comrade weighed heavily on his soul but he knew that Petro's sacrifice had not been in vain the destruction of the norcan super soldier program was a critical blow to the enemy's War Machine one that would buy the human Le resistance valuable time to press their advantage but even as scora and his team returned to the retribution the taste of victory was bittersweet tainted by the knowledge of what they had lost Admiral vortis stood on the bridge of his dreadn his eyes blazing with a manic Fury the loss of the super soldier program had shaken him to his core and the Relentless victories of the human resistance had driven him to the brink of madness he would not let this insult stand mobilize the fleet vortis snarled his voice dripping with Venom we will crush the humans and their allies once and for all set course for new Terror and prepare for a full scale assault the norcan ships surged forward a seething mass of metal and weaponry that darkened the void of space at the heart of the Armada vor's Dreadnaught loomed like a monstrous Predator its weapons primed and ready to unleash destruction upon the human stronghold but even as the norcan fleet closed in on its Target a message crackled across the secure channels of the human resistance Zakon the rebel leader had intercepted vor's battle plans and now the information was in the hands of Captain scora and the

exhaustion and hard one Triumph we have struck a mighty blow against the tyranny of the norcan war machine but our fight is far from Over the galactic Coalition still holds sway over countless worlds and its leaders will not rest until they have crushed all resistance to their rule the gathered Rebels and allies murmured amongst themselves their faces etched with grim determination they knew that

each other the bonds forged In the Heat of battle would not be easily broken and the memory of those who had fallen would forever drive them forward scor's gaze swept over the assembled crowd his eyes

scor's hands closed around vor's throat squeezing the life from the tyrannical leader as vortis Lay Dying his breath coming in ragged gasps a cruel smile twisted his lips you think you've won human he rasped his voice barely audible over the blaring alarms and the distant sounds of battle but you have no idea what you're up against scora leaned in closer his eyes narrowed what are you talking about vortis let out a gurgling laugh Flex of blood spattering his lips the norcan ruling Council we were just puppets the true Masters are the keltar an ancient race that has been manipulating us all along scor's eyes widened in shock his grip on ves's throat loosening what why they wanted this war human they orchestrated everything playing us against each other for their own purposes vortis coughed his body shuddering and now with my death they will have what they want with his last ounce of strength vortis reached out and activated a hidden control panel on his wrist a deep ominous Rumble echoed through the dreadnut and the ship systems began to flash with warning lights her self-destruct mechanism vortis whispered a final Act of spite this ship and everyone on it will be consumed in the

moments to act activating his Comm link scora barked orders to his boarding party all units evacuate immediately get back to the shuttles and warn the retribution and our allies to clear the blast radius now as his team acknowledged the command and began their desperate race to escape the doomed ship scora turned his attention to the self-destruct mechanism he knew that if he could find a way to delay the sequence even by a few minutes it could mean the difference between life and death for countless Souls but as he studied the complex array of controls and readouts a grim realization settled over him there was no way to stop the self-destruct not without sacrificing himself in the process scora closed his eyes his heart heavy with the weight of the decision he knew he had to make

breath scora opened his eyes and turned to face the self-destruct mechanism he would stay behind buying precious time for his crew and allies to escape even as the dreadn and everything on it was consumed in the cataclysmic blast as the timer ticked down and the ship began to shudder and groan around him scora stood tall his face set in a mask of grim determination he thought of the celar of
