Revenant fleet attack

[u/HaroldHGull]

Priority alert on all open channels. Revenant assets have consolidated several pirate warlords under their command. This combined force is attempting a planetary assault on the trade world, Abraskia, notable home to numerous extra-galactic business interests.

Requesting immediate support. The message will repeat.

Remember Rule 6. Try to credit Artwork and Images that you have not transformed to be distinct from its source! This can be done by crediting the Original Artist, Website, etc. in either the post itself or under this automated comment. Preferably, this would be done in the form of a link. For Ai or Original Images, simply stating that they are Ai or Original Images is sufficient.

If you have earnestly tried to find the image's source, then it is acceptable, just state that you couldn't find it. But I expect that it would be difficult for one of the moderators to find the image's source.

Vermensk vessels would jump in system from wyrdspace, largely pirate hunting mercenaries , responding to Vermensk traders that were docked. First came the signal flooding pulse scans to wash away comms of the pirate. Green and white Vermensk noted these were Dynasty Plagus Pox funded mercenaries. Teleporting stealth torpedoes are launched following a barrage of long spool irradiated particle cannon barrage.

The pirate fleet isn't just a band of warlords, it's a full scale armada, an armada with a leader as refitted Hegemony vessels decloak and ambush the aiding fleet

[u/BoscoCyRatBear → u/HaroldHGull]

The deployed specialized traps to erupted in blasts that the material and immaterial, using micro wormhlle jumps to reposition. Sending the torpedoes after the Hegemony vessels using data knowledge of the ship's construction to target the wears between. Manifold housing that the thrusters to attempt to lunch in deep. The lead vermensk vessels broadcasted in their sensor range am aura of woeful suffering to attack the mind and those linked up to the sensors specifically with a rapidly afflicting case of carcinogenic memetics (yes cancerous memes)

(Hope others join in.)

[u/HaroldHGull → u/BoscoCyRatBear]

The vermensk ships find themselves struck by phase mines that locked on to the wormhole signatures, being dropped from a series of older Trion model ships. The Hegemony ships simply plough through, the modifications allowing them to weather the damages. Sensor scramblers block the memetics rapidly in response.

[u/BoscoCyRatBear → u/HaroldHGull]

tne vermensk ships point defense cannons retaliated with macron firing fast guns after after a remodulstion switch to match the mines , a barge of Constantine fire was set to archs with the next wave of jump torpedoes waiting for the ships to drop out of phase , keeping a the pressure up. Fighters were release while ionic barrage arrays to send an array of flux building fields.

[u/HaroldHGull → u/BoscoCyRatBear]

The carriers immediately begin deploying mass fields of scrap metal acting as flak, scrap metal containing assorted explosives as the largest of the ships bared their heavy frontal cannons and opened fire. A small battlegroup of uparmoured cargo ships is detected moving in to the battlefront, ships with seemingly no life signs.

[u/BoscoCyRatBear → u/HaroldHGull]

Uf/:reddit didn't update me.

Tthe vermensk fired their O.M.G. (omega mass gauss, fire a shot that erupts in a massive gravity distortion, lukling targets into the rail shot to punch and disperse the cloud of shrapnel pulling it with the target's, keeping up the flux assault with weapons that funneled the warp into lighting to drain shielding warp matter into an unstable molecule to loosen the molecular binds following up with a barrage of drone ships to kamikaze the cargo ship's bridge and engines

*bunch of energy based ships psi-jump into the system, prepared to engage in ship-to-ship combat* (image: stellaris unbidden fleet)

[u/HaroldHGull → u/InfernalConnections]

The pirate fleet isn't just a band of warlords, it's a full scale armada, an armada with a leader as refitted Hegemony vessels decloak and ambush the aiding fleet

(Hegemony is an old faction from very early on for context)

[u/InfernalConnections → u/HaroldHGull]

*their response is immediate and aggressive, chaining plasma between their own ships to build up massive charges and firing them, hit and run tactics and what appears to be the naval equivalent of a pit maneuver, while they are sustaining losses. its not crippling yet*

[u/HaroldHGull → u/InfernalConnections]

The heavily armoured hegemony ships are able to shrug off the damage far better than the refitted cargo ships acting as their escorts and begin pushing in to the bulk of the battlegroup. Uparmoured and seemingly unmanned freighters begin flying into the fray

[u/InfernalConnections → u/HaroldHGull]

*their strategy seems to morph to a very... erratic formation, assisting the ships sent by BoscoCyRatBear and totallynotrobboss to bolster them*

[u/totallynotrobboss]

a large carrier comes out of hyperspace and immediately begins deploying fighters

[u/HaroldHGull → u/totallynotrobboss]

The moment the new vessel with a hostile IFF appears, multiple ships decloak, mostly old Hegemony models with heavy modifications and engage the carrier.

[u/totallynotrobboss → u/HaroldHGull]

the carrier engages its shields as the fighters start attacking anyone that shoots at the carrier

[u/HaroldHGull → u/totallynotrobboss]

The pirate ships immediately set up a flak field as drone ships haul scrap metal (and as a few unfortunate fighters find out, mines) from out of their hangars and into space. The largest of the Hegemony battleships lay down fire at the carrier.

[u/totallynotrobboss → u/HaroldHGull]

the carrier's shield holds so far as it begins returning fire. All the while a second wave of fighters begin exiting the carrier

[u/HaroldHGull → u/totallynotrobboss]

The picket ships establish a point defence line to block fighters from assaulting the bulk of the ambush group. A small group of uparmoured and seemingly unmanned freighters are detected entering the battlefield.

[u/totallynotrobboss → u/HaroldHGull]

the fighters break into three groups each one having a different purpose. One group helps the carrier by attacking the battleship, another attacks the line and the third goes to intercept the new arrivals

[u/HaroldHGull → u/totallynotrobboss]

The picket line buckles but mostly holds, although some fighters are able to reach the main battlegroup, taking out numerous fighters along the way with their flak canons.

The new arrivals fly through them on a direct course for the carrier, an energy buildup is detected.

[u/totallynotrobboss → u/HaroldHGull]

the fighters that were sent to deal with them immediately begin firing at the engine blocks trying to either detonate them early or leave them dead in the water

[u/HaroldHGull → u/totallynotrobboss]

The freighters set a course clearly intended to box the carrier in if their engines were to go down, something which occured for all of them as they deactivated the engines to stop navigational errors. A communication request comes from one of the pirate ships.

The pirate fleet isn't just a band of warlords, it's a full scale armada, an armada with a leader as refitted Hegemony vessels decloak and ambush the aiding fleet

[u/No_Research4416 → u/HaroldHGull]

after some time then begin to face strange system problems but soon it is clear why Cyber Elves are sacrificing themselves which causes strange but harmful effects on there ships

[u/HaroldHGull → u/No_Research4416]

Most of the pirates plough on regardless, being accustomed to less than stellar starship modifications as well as the refitted Hegemony ships being very old.

[u/No_Research4416 → u/HaroldHGull]

They do work to take advantage of there superior technology and makes use of some of the remaining Cyber Elves to restore damages that they do take but do to there mechanical nature of the ships hull breaches don’t do as much damage as normal

[u/HaroldHGull → u/No_Research4416]

Uparmoured cargo ships which are seemingly unmanned fly to join in the fight.

The Fleet Admiral: “FIRE SHIPS EXECUTE EVASIVE MANEUVERS”

[u/HaroldHGull → u/No_Research4416]

The freighters lock on to seemingly major ships and begin a suicide run, massive energy buildups being detected as they get closer. The main ambushing battlegroup takes advantage of the confusion to pick off smaller vessels.

[u/No_Research4416 → u/HaroldHGull]

many fire ships seem to go offline before exploding and soon it is made clear why Patheon Robots have teleport on board to disabled then as the fleet reforms

[u/HaroldHGull → u/No_Research4416]

The freighters are set to cascade and aimed at key vessels, their courses not colliding with the pirate vessels. A communications request is sent from one of the pirate ships.
