Main Docking Space Station of Earth

90,000 Kilometre away from Earth, Lagrange Point

3rd of July, 2155CE

In the Lagrange Point between Earth and Moon stood a giant structure with a beam of nearly 30 Kilometres, it was among mankind's greatest achievements after entering the galactic world in the year 2060. The Docking Station was connected to a Space Elevator in the desert of Nevada with the height of nearly 90,000 Kilometres, it was mankind's second highest structure ever built after the Space Elevator on Mars with the height of 120,000 Kilometres. The Space Station accommodated a total of nearly 30,000 Soldiers and 10,000 Marines, making it one the largest military base. It also carried a lot of a

“How is the population on Super Earth?” Admiral Bush asked his subordinate while walking towards the space Elevator cabin so that he could return back to Earth.

“As for now, the population is currently at the highest at over 1 Billions UEF Citizens including around 19.6 Billions immigrants from the collapsed Kosnov Empire” the Sailor answered as he checked the tablet he was carrying.

“What about Earth?” the Admiral asked again.

“Almost 10 Billion People as of now.” the Sailor answered immediately “It looks like Earth is almost overpopulated, what are you going to do, Admiral?”

“What!?” Shouted Admiral Bush as he looked at his phone

“What is it, sir?” Asked his subordinate

“Oriented Republic just sent 400 Battleships to Pluto and the Coast Guard 1st and 2nd Coastal Security Fleets are engaging them” answered Admiral Bush “I want all 30 SuperNova Class docked to this station to be launched immediately!”

The station's light turned red as a warp signature detected as it was about to reach Earth.

“I want the remaining 70 SuperNova Class to be here, now! Get all 30 SuperNova in this station to be ready immediately! We have no time.” said Admiral Bush as he ran frantically to the Space Elevator. “We also need to protect this station or it will fall!”

“Sir, all of the crews of the SuperNova docked in the station are still entering their assigned ship, I don’t think we have much time left.” said the sailor who was following him

“Shit!” said Admiral Bush loudly when he noticed 400 warp portals opened not far away from the Docking Station

Coming out of the portal were one of Oriented Republic’s most powerful space battleship class, Cosmo Class. The fleet was huge with each ship having a length of nearly 700 metres and equipped with 4 positron cannons, they were immensely powerful.

“So, I finally see Earth with my own eyes,” said a man wearing a total black suit inside one of Cosmo Class that just arrived and he was the leader of this operation. “Where’s the Galactic Class?” After saying this, a giant space battleship with a length of nearly 1km and with what seems to be a superweapon in front of its bow came out of a Warp out portal. It was equipped with 3 forward and 3 backwards quad Barrels Positron Cannons and it seems that this was a battleship class no one had ever seen before. “Time to see the effectiveness of the StarKiller Cannon.”

“What is that Battleship!?” After Admiral Bush witnessed this, all 30 SuperNova Class docked to the station left their dock and were ready to fight. As all of them left the dock, all remaining 70 SuperNova Class arrived near the docking station and were ready to engage the enemy's fleet.

Suddenly, 70 More SuperNova Class Space Battleships arrived near the battleground after traveling using their Quantum Subspace Drive from their original stations with some had jumped from Mars and Super Earth.

The battle was brutal, United Earth Federation’s SuperNova Class, despite only 100 engaged in combat, started destroying the Oriented Republic’s Cosmo Class like there was no tomorrow. The UESF’s space battleships fired their positron cannons non stop. The Oriented Republic’s Cosmo tried returning fire back but due to its weak energy shield, shots from the SuperNova Class could penetrate it. The Cosmo Class Space Battleships started being destroyed one by one. All 100 UESF’s SuperNova Class started stacking up over each other, lining side by side and turning all of their turrets to starboard. Suddenly, all of these turrets with each had 4 barrels, started firing at the enemy. The enemy’s space battleships were hopeless at this point. Space Battleships were sunk, explosions were everywhere.

The 1km long Galactic Class suddenly turned all 6 of its Positron Cannon turrets to portside, aiming at the United Earth Federation’s space battleships. All 6 turrets, with each equipped with 4 barrels, started firing at the fleet. Due to the immense energy released shot from the turrets installed on the Galactic Class, the United Earth Federation’s SuperNova Class Space Battleships’ energy shields were penetrated and 6 SuperNova Class’s hulls were pierced and exploded, causing the fleet to break formation and caused 4 more to collide with each other and causing serious damage to those space battleships.

The Galactic Class of the Oriented Republic just suddenly finished charging up in less than half a minute. The “StarKiller Cannon” installed on the bow of the Galactic Class suddenly aimed at Earth and Admiral Bush knew this would happen. UEF’s 100 SuperNova Class started destroying the Cosmo Class and one SuperNova Class, UESF SuperNova SB/EX-01-57, stopped firing and aimed its bow at the Galactic Class.

“Get the Star Focus Beam Cannon ready, NOW!” Shouted the Rear Admiral or Captain of the UESF SuperNova SB/EX-01-57.

“Sir, Star Focus Beam Cannon is ready, power 100%.” Said The Tactical Officer

“FIRE!” Shouted the Rear Admiral.

The Star Focus Beam Cannon installed front lower bottom of the ship’s bow suddenly releasing some purple particle when all of a sudden, a bright intense purple energy beam coming out of the cannon, hitting the Galactic Class very hard with so much energy that it caused the Galactic Class’s Energy Shield to be broken immediately and pierced its hull, splitting the battleship in half and prevent the attack on Earth. The Galactic Class Suddenly exploded and everyone looked at the explosion.

“No!” Said the man who was in charge of this attack “What is that Cannon? I need to tell Mr. President. Retreat!”

All of the surviving 67 Cosmo Class suddenly warped out to somewhere, possibly their nearest Military Power or so Admiral Bush thought.

Pluto Orbit

The Battle was about the end. Vice Admiral Ted received the news that the attempted Attack on earth was successfully prevented and he was thrilled. Enemy fleet was fighting a losing battle as they lost battleships one by one non stop as the Coast Guard only lost 25 Nebula Class.

The Enemy fleet with only 89 Battleships remaining suddenly warped out of the battle field as they knew that they were fighting a losing battle against two United Earth Coast Guard's Security Fleets. Vice Admiral Ted saw this and he was pleased but he would still be more cautious as the enemy fleet might return back.

“Rescue the survivors now!” Said Vice Admiral Ted and he left the commander bridge. He stopped at the door and looked back “Pay your attention to the Radar and Sonar!”

8 Hours Later

Main Docking Station of Earth

The Station was not hit or damaged and was still operational. There was a battleship with similar design to the SuperNova Class stationed in front the gate that led to dock no. 23.

“This is the Main Docking Station of Earth, Please identify yourself.”

“This is the Royal Navy’s HMS King Charles IV SB-03-04. Request into Dock no.23”

After a brief moment of silence and waiting, the ship received another call from the station’s command centre.

“You have been granted access to the Dock no. 23, Welcome to Earth Docking Space Station of the United Earth Federation”

The huge gate opened and HMS King Charles IV SB-03-01 made its way into the huge docking space with four arms attached to the Battleship’s bow and stern, locking it in place. A bridge was extended to the ship and the gate was closed. Air and Oxygen started pumping into the dock, pressurising the dock to earth's atmospheric pressure.

After the dock was pressurised, the door on the port side of the ship opened and a man who looked like a British , wearing black suit and a pair of glasses came out of the Battleship. Standing on the was Admiral Bush, who was wearing a blue navy suit.

“Prime Minister William Winchester, welcome to the United Earth Federation” said Admiral Bush He walked towards PM William Winchester, Prime Minister of the United Britannian Kingdom, and gave him a hand shake.

“Thank you for welcoming me.” replied PM William Winchester. “It's my first time here.”

“Well, thank you for coming here after the attack. I am very pleased for you using your valuable time visiting us.” Said Admiral Bush after he finished shocking hands with the United Britannian Kingdom’s Prime Minister.

“So, this is your Main Docking Station.” Said PM William Winchester as he looked around. “I am very impressed with how advanced humans from Earth have become.”

“Thanks. It took us 8 years to build this Space Station.” Replied Admiral Bush.

“Hi, I am Arnold Kennedy, one of the five members of the United Nations Council Of Constitution.” Said Mr. Arnold Kennedy, 48 years old, as he gave PM Winchester a hand shake.

“I am very pleased to meet you” replied PM Winchester as they finished shaking hands.

“Hi, My name is Thomas Ping and I am also a member of the United Nations Council of Constitution. I represent the People’s Republic Of China while Arnold Kennedy represents the United States of America in the Council.” Said Mr. Thomas Ping, a 45 years old man.

“Nice to meet you Mr. Ping.” replied PM Winchester as he shook Mr. Lee’s hand.

“Hi, My name is Henry Young. I represent the United Kingdom in the Council.” Said Mr. Young as he moved through and gave the Prime Minister a hand shake.

3 Hours Later

Earth Orbit between the Moon and Earth

After the Battle, there was debris left from the destroyed Oriented Republic's Cosmo Class everywhere. There were ships everywhere collecting the remaining to destroy them or to also learn more about the battleship.

Near the debris left from the exploded Galactic Class, UESF Olympus Mons SWAC/EX-01-03, was stationed near the site. The Olympus Mons Super Space Carrier was huge with a length of over 1.6km. Only 10 ever built in favour of building more SuperNova Class. The Carrier is protected by 20 Mark-6 Single Barrel Long Range High Velocity Positron Cannons and 10 Space Phalanx Anti-Air Positron Minigun. The Carrier’s bridge is all the way back with two flight decks on both of its sides. There were two SF-35 Lighting IV on the broadside flight deck ready to be launched.

Inside the huge bay on the lower of the Carrier, there were aircraft consisting of SF-35 Space Fighters, SC-5 Titan Cargo Planes, and more but what caught people's attention was a technology they found in the Oriented Republic’s Galactic Class.

“So, this is their Transit Warp Drive.” Asked Admiral Bush as he looked at what seemed to be a huge cylinder with blue stripes. The thing was over 3 Meters tall and over 1 metre in diameter.

“Yes, according to the data we obtained from the ship, it has a speed of Warp ten and it is the final speed the Transit Warp Drive can go.” Answered one of the Engineers of the development of the Quantum Subspace Drive and Drop Engine.

“Warp 10!?” Said a surprised Admiral Bush due to how fast the Oriented Republic's Transit Warp Drive was compared to their latest Quantum Subspace Drive which could only go up to 200,000 times faster than light. “It's 50 times faster than out Quantum Subspace Drive”

“But, the Transit Warp Drive is easily detected by the Dimensional In Depth High Frequency Sonar system. We should stick to the Quantum Subspace Drive we developed.” Said PM William Winchester.

“You think I don't know that?” Replied Admiral Bush as he looked back at PM Winchester “Warp Drive is notorious for being easily detected. Transit Warp Drive was developed to counter this but due to how advanced Dimensional In Dept Sonar has become, it can be easily detected”

“Sir! We managed to retrieve the Galactic Class's Engines and according to the ship’s data, they are called StarLight Engine.” Said a sailor as he walked toward Admiral Bush while holding a tablet, showing the picture of the Engine.

“StarLight Engine?” Said the Confused Admiral Bush “Is that their new Engine?”

“I think, yes, the engines used on their Cosmo Class are the Hexagon Engines they developed around 600 years ago.” Replied the Sailor.

“What about the Galactic Class’s energy Shield drive?” asked Admiral Bush

“The log shows that the ship’s energy shield drive absorbs around three times to the ten to the power of forty three joules of energy.” replied the same sailor.

“What a luck.” asked Admiral Bush after hearing the number

“Admiral! Admiral!” a sound was heard on the radio on Admiral Bush’s shoulder.

“What is it?” Admiral Bush replied as he looked at the Transit Warp Drive.

“Sir! We found a ship design. I found an SSD containing the design of a project called Project Orion and the ship design is huge.” said the One of the sailors who was scouring the ship on the other side of the radio. “We managed to capture the captain of this ship, Vice Admiral Rank, Request a ship to escort this Vice Admiral because he has no space suit on and is stuck in this room.”

“Project Orion!?” Admiral Bush Replied back loudly and people looked at him.

“The ship is huge, at over 3 kilometres and equipped with the same 4 Cannons used on the Galactic Class.” replied the sailor on the other side. “According to the blueprint inside the SSD, it is called StarKiller Cannon and it is a threat to the SuperNova Class Block 3’s energy shield. I believe this ship is designed to attack an entire nation's space fleet at once. It must be a capital ship. The design suggests that it is a Battleship”

“What do you mean by this?” replied Admiral Bush

“It can shoot energy equivalent to the energy released by an average supernovae explosion which is too much for the SuperNova Class Block 3’s 10th generation energy absorbing shield designed to handle” replied the sailor.

The US, Virginia

Meeting Room

6th of July, 2155 CE

0900 Hours

Inside the meeting room, all four Chief of Operations were there, sitting and staring at each other fiercely. The room was lit brightly with a hologram, showing the current state of Earth. There were the US, China, The UK, Russia, France, and the United Earth Federation flags inside the room.

“So, are you sure that you want to declare war against the Oriented Republic?” Asked General Alex Daniel, 5 Stars General and the Chief of Marine Operation of the United Earth Marine Corp. “We have been at peace for more than a century, am I right General Jonathan?”

“You're right but, Like Bush said, they will continue to poke us unless we do something they will remember for the rest of generations” replied General David Jonathan, 5 Stars General and the Chief of Army Operations of the United Earth Army.

“Alright.” Replied Admiral Bush “Like General Jonathan said “but this war might be resources intensive”

“Resources intensive?” Said General Jonathan “You still have 700 SuperNova Class Block 3 in storage on Mars. Why don't activate them, recall of the reserved personnel to control those Battleships”

“Well, we need to know what exactly is the purpose of the Oriented Republic's Project Orion” said Admiral Bush as looked everyone straight in the eyes.

“Sir, the declaration of war paper is ready. All we need are your signatures to declare war against the Oriented Republic” a Pentagon personnel handed the paper to Admiral Bush.

Admiral Bush took the paper and placed it in front of him before he signed the paper. He handed the paper to Admiral Harries Noorington, Commandant of the Coast Guard of the United Earth Coast Guard. Admiral Noorington signed the paper and he pushed the paper to the front of General Daniel. General Daniel looked at the paper for a bit before he sighed and signed the paper. “Now, we need your signature to declare war, General Jonathan,” said General Daniel to General Jonathan. General Jonathan sighed and took the paper from General Daniel and signed the paper. After all four signatures were acquired, all they needed was the Congress to join and the United Earth Federation will enter the state of war.

“Our guest today is Prime Minister William Winchester.” Said Admiral Bush before the door led to this meeting room opened and it was PM Winchester “Come in, Mr. Winchester.” Admiral Bush continued after PM Winchester sat at his seat “He has something urgent that he needs us to hear.”

“Well, in 2031 CE, 124 years ago, we made contact with your nation and found out that the United Kingdom’s old flag is present in our flag.” Continued PM Winchester as he pulled out a bunch of pictures from his suitcase “We found a few pieces of evidence that might suggest that we are from Earth.”

“That's literally impossible since we didn't have a fully functional space force until 2048 CE, what do you mean?” Said the Confused General Jonathan as he looked through the photos.

“Inside our so-called Sacred Library, we decided to raid it and found a book containing the UK’s history since its creation until late 1700s which is impossible to have since our citizens don't know we have diplomatic relations with your nation.” PM Winchester “And We also found a book containing the American Revolution and the Day the 13 Colonies gained independence from the British Empire on 4th July 1776, 379 years ago. And this is concerning as our nation's history is only 365 years and if I count correctly, United Britannain Kingdom's history started in 1790 CE or 1 NE, 14 years after the 13 Colonies gained independence”

The Door suddenly opened and it was Admiral Charles Heckle, a 4 stars Admiral in the United Earth Space Force, who opened the door, interrupting the conversation. Everyone looked at him in confusion as they had no idea what was his business to do here.

“We got the casualties numbers and it is high.” said Admiral Heckle silently as he seemed to be out of breath.

“Approximate death is a total of nearly 2000 personnel, no captain survived.” said Admiral Heckle after he sat down for a brief moment, catching his breath.

“What about the destroyed 10 Battleships in the space force?” Admiral Bush asked as he took a gaze at Admiral Heckle.

“All 950 Crews, dead on the spot, unfortunately, we cannot recover the body” said Admiral Heckle.
