However, it was quickly surrounded by a large armada of the Deux ex-Terrâns. The second wave of Terran ships
Soon, this large armada composed of 6 million dreadnoughts will rendezvous with the first wave in ETA 8 hours. After taking a brief break in the Alpha Centauri system,
The morale of the Terran crews is boosted in preparation for ship-to-ship combat and the Planetary invasion. which, of course, they are.
Since they are reclaiming the holy land their great ancestors have since left for them. In which they must kill and exterminate the vermin-bastard species that evolved from the all-powerful.
==========================================
Pluto
The Plutonian Forward Operating Base.
General Kanaya was in the FOB's Strategos room as she constantly surveyed the movements of the aliens. She was joined with her best commanders and colonels as the hologram showed real time movements of the alien fleet rendezvous with the second wave of an estimated 2–4 million ships.
“These aliens are really peculiar; why are they even invading us in the first place?” Commander Zhao says as he has his hand scratching his temple.
“I don't know, probably for imperial reasons and being greedy for resources to build a megastructure, I guess? Such as a dyson swarm?” Lieutenant Jakub suggests as his pier, Colonel Miles Quaritch, a 50-year-old veteran who has been in the military for more than 20 years.
"Do you honestly believe that, lieutenant? It's been proven that we need a whole fucking solar system of resources to build a dyson swarm. I don't think conquering more systems will help with that, and as such, I think it's imperialism," Quaritch says, crossing both of his cybernetic arms, which he lost in a boarding engagement with some pirates when he was still a corporal.
“Enough, we are to focus on the current situation as the proclaimed bulwark against these alien Xenos,” Kanaya says as she crosses her arms.
After waiting for 5 minutes, though, an anomaly happens with the hologram as it turns into many different and weird signals as the floor board is being executed repeatedly in an unpredictable pattern.
All the officers in the room gasp in surprise as Kanaya immediately gestures to the radar operators through her communications.

“Fuck!” Kanaya curses as she relays it to her officers.
“We should send a reconnaissance drone!” Quaritch says as he pulls out his own communication device.
“Do I have permission, ma'am?” Quaritch asks as Kanaya nods. As Quaritch connected to his personal fleet, he ordered the following:
“Release the Amun-ra,” Quaritch orders as one of the underground shipyards of Charon opens its bay and an ejected ship with a sleek design and black color grade is seen.
The ship had its RCS correct its tilt and axis before doing a High-g burn and accelerating to a position where the Amun-ra can give real time signatures etc.
The Amun-Ra is one of the UN's Amun-Ra class stealth reconnaissance ships. Its outer layer is sleekly designed to bounce off radio signals. and with a color gradient designed to absorb radar signals as well.
The Amun-Ra dissipates heat like any other UN warship (except stations and civilian ships, which use radiator panels, which are less expensive while radiating 1.5x more heat). by integrating its hull and combining it with radiators. named radiator hulls, are usually of a very light and thin design, and are easily repairable.
The Amun-ra dissipates as much radiation as its surroundings and can only be in true stealth mode if its single Korrena fusion drive is off.
=========================
Near the terran fleet
The Amun-Ra decelerated lightly with RCS to help with it as it gained a stable orbit about 100 thousand kilometers from the Terran Armada.
The Amun-Ra pointed its tip towards the alien flotilla as it sent out a hidden radar signal and sent a visual hologram back to Pluto. still being undetected as it used the technology the US has been pumping up.
Back at Pluto, the officers were glad that they finally got a visual of the fleet once again.
But that all changed when they realized the fleet movements were going into a very militaristic formation reminiscent of a loose phalanx. which then accelerated into a predicted course for Pluto's high orbit.
All officers noticed this and scrambled in all directions to alert the whole base. while Kanaya followed to inform every defense platform online.
“Are all the guns loaded!?” Kanaya shouts as the private she shouted at salutes.
“Mam, yes, mam!” the private said as his whole body was shaking, scared of the impending invasion and General Kanaya.
The relaxing artillery crews of the Everest classes were all woken up by alarms blaring as radar stations on Charon sent out signals everywhere. Because the amun ra is stranded, it will be detected when it attempts to catch up with the aliens.
The two stationed fleets were launched into Pluto's orbit, heading in the direction where the aliens were supposed to be.
Soon, getting head-on with the gigantic fleet proceeded with the launching of tons of torpedoes. which destroyed a couple of the alien ships before it responded with 100 times as many missiles, with 90% of the human fleet being destroyed. This resulted in mass amounts of debris being thrown directly at Pluto, the majority of which were intercepted by anti-debris sphere satellites or laser-guided weapon systems, paving the way to Pluto.
The alien fleet was situated almost 989 thousand kilometers away before launching a barrage of missiles. Up to 1 million accelerated to the way of pluto at 10gs of acceleration
Pluto retaliated by hailing 12000 attack stations, targeting each missile, and firing counter-barrages while also firing PDCs. Utilizing the Russian-made 60mm Kashtan-X Point Defense Cannon, the largest and most powerful PDC to date, These dual 60mm electro-thermal gatling guns can fire 9000 rounds per minute at a muzzle velocity of mach 12.
It is linked to its additional missile-to-missile pods, which also fire.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
The attack stations were not alone as launched Rocinante drone frigates numbering at nearly 20 thousand. launched from the Charon shipyards and began engaging with the aforementioned missiles. closing in after three hours of acceleration. retracting their Napoleon PDCs as they fire upon the approaching missiles. Pluto's iron curtain system, which is located on its surface, erupts thousands of anti-ballistic missiles to face these alien torpedoes.
The alien torpedoes' numbers dwindled lower and lower as the combined efforts of Rocinante drone frigates armored and armed orbital space stations, and ABMs on Pluto's surface.
And soon, only 1,000 were left to accelerate before being picked off by the land-based Kashtan-X.
After the missile barrage failed, the tadpoles accelerated at 10 g. an acceleration that lasted for 3 hours before their antimatter drives were shut off as they let the speed they created at around 1000 kilometers per second guide them. In ETA 30 minutes in Pluto's orbit.
The Hawaii-class armed space stations open fire as they launch torpedo tubes at an estimated 1 million torpedoes. All are accelerating towards their locked-on targets through their active radar systems as they are fired upon by alien PDCS and counter-missiles.
These counter-missiles managed to destroy 40% of the missiles, with the remaining human missiles destroying 25 thousand alien ships. before being targeted and counter-barraged by 500 thousand missiles, targeting just the weapon stations.
The weapon stations desperately have their Kashtan-Xs PDCs locked on and do extensive math with their 1200 qubit quantum computers and yottascale computers as they accurately hit each target. But that didn't come with casualties, as out of the 4000 stations, nearly 3500 were hit and dispersed, resulting in tons of space debris consisting of human flesh, chobham, and composite armor of different materials. Electronics, and many more
The debris did nothing to the ships as they simply rammed past it. Once reaching the halfway point and decelerating at 10 gs,
Once these aliens were all within effective range (200 thousand kilometers), land-based and orbital satellites detected them in real time. Kanaya connected to her comms as she released the order.
“Fire”
Once the order was relayed everywhere in Charon and Pluto's orbit.
All railgun platforms in Pluto's orbit, consisting of the Aleksandeer class Orbital railguns, automatically loaded a 30 inch slug, as a Helion 55 gigawatt reactor starts to generate electricity around the rails of the square barrel.
Through the use of electromagnetism, the railgun becomes a magnetic field as the conductive tungsten slug is consumed by the electrical current. as it is launched at nearly 1500 kilometers per second with the power of the mighty Lorentz force. This procedure took only 10 seconds to complete.
More than 15 thousand slugs were accelerated at this speed as they headed for their target's predicted path.
The aliens were not prepared for the slugs arriving so fast as they attempted evasive maneuvers. with some not being so successful as more than 10,000 were destroyed.
The orbital railguns had their additional Raptor fusion drives correct themselves back to a stable orbit after the recoil. before loading in another slug and firing another barrage at the alien ships nearly 70 thousand kilometers away.
But since the ships have reached the Roche limit (a military term inspired by the actual Rosch limit term), The hundreds upon hundreds of Everest mass-drivers situated on all sides of Pluto and Charon had their intense hydraulics correct their aim with their powerful and advanced fire control system. And after predicting the paths and evasive maneuvers the alien ships were taking, all 400 Mass drivers fired in unison as the shot that shook the solar system commenced.
The immediate 400 10-story (30-meter) and 5-meter-diameter tungsten slugs were accelerated by magnetism and shot out of the massive mass driver's barrel at nearly 2600 kilometers per second. not slowing down due to the non-existence of air resistance.
The 400 slugs accelerate quickly, being noticed by tadpole radar and being targeted by many PDCs.
These PDCs did nothing, though, as the dense tungsten slug punched through it with little denting.
The smaller slugs from earlier hit their targets as they weakened nearly 12 thousand ships. Before 400 larger slugs hit nearly 350 alien ships, the impact and kinetic energy were directed to the biomechanical armor, which melted due to kinetic energy also creating a sort of high heat. The armor began to melt, creating a massive hole in the ship and striking critical components such as a chain reaction of exploding missile warheads. With the last warhead exploding being an antimatter warhead as it explodes violently with the force of 100 megatons.
Another volley of slugs came after that, as more Everest class slugs also followed up.
The noticeable flagship of the tadpoles, situated in the back side of the formation. Flanked by several Tadpole battleships, it was still observing this inexcusable situation, despite being the only one with a Railgun turret. It retracted the 45-inch railgun, being not of a biomechanical nature but mechanical instead. The design was obvious; it was technologically inferior to the UN's own weapons, and we know that these aliens are inferior in technology, with their only edge being in biotechnology and Drive technology.
Of course, the UN doesn't know that, and this information would help them with the war.
The flagship was also where the leader of the Tadpoles of this fleet was.
The admiral of the tadpoles snarled in disgust with his sharky-looking nature. While being flanked by two bug soldiers. He then lifted his surgically attached arm up, creating certain intervals of sounds. That sounds somewhat like….primitive human language.
But what he said was the ordering for the railgun to be fired.
In which, the ship's biological arm loaded a round as a 45 inch shell accelerated at 500 km/s.
The slug was easily detected by UN radar as external Kashtan-X PDCs on each Railgun platform started to aim as they started blasting. Destroying the 45 inch slug with a couple of 15 thousand rounds.
With things going bad for the tadpoles, they decide to do a suicide charge as they charge and decelerate at the same time. firing more and more torpedoes, targeting the railgun stations.
The Kashtans on the railguns prevailed as they targeted many, but soon, more than 30% of the railguns were hit and destroyed. with the debris shot back to Pluto due to the mini-anti-debris spheres put on Pluto's lower orbit.
This debris hit multiple soldiers and domes, with minuscule injuries or denting, though.
More torpedoes were launched. With more rail guns being destroyed, soon eradicating the orbital railgun platforms, the Tadpoles loomed over Pluto with their 5 million-strong remaining fleet.
Silos, the gigantic mass drivers, and Kashtan CIW platforms were targets for orbital bombardment as silos opened on more than 3000 Tadpole battleships. which came out in streaks of missiles. nearly 20,000 before accelerating and destroying their designated targets.
The ground-based kashtan's tried to destroy the missiles but were overwhelmed as they were destroyed.
ABM-Silos and IPBM-Silos are destroyed by the high-velocity kinetic missiles of the aliens.
But the most devastating damage was reported to General Kanaya and her team. was the collapse of all present Everest-class mass drivers. Setting the stage for a complete invasion and annihilation of all present human forces on Pluto and Charon.
With this, the situation tensed, and Quaritch was suddenly gone. Kanaya was shocked that the old man could escape. and was angered by it, “That fucking deserter!”
But in reality, he was bagged by the CIA. and was put on the UNSS-Anubis, an Amun-Ra class ship, once they finally got out of range of sensors. They fired their Korrena fusion drives in a linear-circular path to Earth.
Due to quantum physics, the situation on the ground was seen in real time by the martian shatterdome. But all in all, it was terrifying for the troops on Pluto and Charon. Over 5 million ships loom over them, only supported by their squad, 5 million troops, 4000 tanks, and hidden anti-air installations, all waiting for the impending disaster.
=============================================
As we were shown the Earth, a screen flashed into view, with a faint radio report becoming more audible as it became clearer.
"Civilian unrest is practiced everywhere, most notably in the United States and China as the threat of aliens looms over our heads. Planetary defenses are put on high alert as fleets stationed on Luna are dispatched to scout and protect against the alien threat." We circled Earth for a while, seeing its orbit full of Hercules and Jericho stations, which switched to Earth's planetary defenses.
We zoom out of Earth as we are slowly shown Mars, with a broadcast also happening. but for propaganda purposes.
“We have stood for this adequate invasion of our rightful lands for far too long. And now their irrational actions have awoken the sleeping giant of the UN and have brought us to the brink due to their actions on the heliosphere and above Pluto. If they wish to test us in battle, we are ready! We will not back down. Our people are united and moralled! The UN shall prevail!” After this great speech by Admiral Hong was broadcasted to all in between Luna, the outer planets, the belt, and earth. We are shown the military forces in orbit around Mars, also filled with Hercules and Jericho stations, but with much more fleets dispatched and accelerating into an orbit around Mars to protect our red planet.
We then zoom back to earth, but then to the tycho station as it spinned. with a Shepherd-class Asterid hauler coming into view as it disconnected its cable with a Mjolnir round.
Our view then warps quickly as we zoom into Pluto, giving us a birds-eye view of the alien ship looming above Pluto as it orbited around it. A broadcast is initiated by General-Kanaya to all forces on Pluto.
