OOC:

The 'trick' is that all those new ships weren't there, just illusions. they couldn't be destroyed, but they couldn't do any damage. Thought it was obvious.

Also, this will be the final extension on the limit. I have warned everyone here several times about this, and if don't have forces on relicus you will be barred from the planet completely. At 7 PM, U.S. standard eastern time the relicus prime event will begin and anyone not on the planet will not be able to participate and barred from any possible reward. Also, patton, this planet and its resources are the entire reason the imperial guard were sent into the eye, I believe it would be odd if only one regiement was sent to pick it up...

Also, Zixis, It isn't really going to result into anything, its wartev being wartev, haven't we all learned that from the Darksun campaign?

Moving on, where is everyone?

IC:

Ardent 3: Space...

Witht the the first fleet destroyed, the remaning UOV fleet became even more aggressive, firing every gun they could. After all, if they lost the space above the world, then it could mean very bad things for the invasion of this world...

Ardent 3: Ground...

Whilst the battle above continued to rage, the one below was about to begen. WIth all three staging points fill to the brim, The UOV began a march onto the main enemy stronghold.

Group 1: 500,000 vuldiers, 1500 WFM, 150 CSM, 25 Predator tanks, 15 Chaos dreadnaughts, 10 additional daemon engines (artiller, defilers, etc), and 1 rever titan.

Group 2: 200,000 vuldiers, 100 WFM, 10 CSM, 10 Predator tanks.

Group 3: 300,000 vuldeirs, 100 WFM, 10 CSM, 15 Defilers, 5 Hellfire batteries, and 2 deathstrike missle launchers.

Leading them was commander Arsnek himself. Arming himself with an assualt cannon (with large, serratted bayonet under it) and a storm shield, he stood upon the head of the reaver titan, watching the massive troop movement.

He was determined to end this invasion with a single, swift blow. Once they took the stronghold, the planet would be as good as their's, and they could move on to the next planet. After all, the sooner the eye was secured, the sooner they could prepare for the true invasion...

Kathalon:

With no void battle to impede their vessels, the UOV began a massive orbital bombing campaing against the benefactors defense lines. To conicide with this, ground forces would attempt to move in seconds after the bombartment...

Durrel:

Despite the tremendous losses, the UOV continued their assualt on the enemy force, determined to bring them down.

Meanwhile... in vulture's palace...

Wartez was annoyed. Very Annoyed.

Finding himself walking through the various corridors, wartez had recently been host to one of Wartev's 'toys'. A human shaped ghoul... thing... with large, pulsating, orange pus pods. No doubt they had contained some poison or acid, not that he had cared. Every few days it would happen, Wartev would let something out, or it would escape due to carelessness, or whatever reason of the week it always ended the same. The creature dead, Wartev in tears (for about a minute), and life moved on...

He tried to calm himself down... especially since he was heading to one of the many war rooms located in the castle. Several issues had come up and vulture was busy with a very important expeirement right now. It didn't bother wartez that their leader didn't go to all the war meetings... but it did worry him that his master was spending more time in the lab than he normally did. After all, if his master was attempt to control more of Khornes power, he could lose himself to the rage... something that had to be corrected yes, but also very dangerous. He knew the ritual would require massive amounts of warp energy and the only way to get the required amount in time was to use the power of the four major gods... but...

He snaped his mind back to the present as he neared the doors he was aquanted with so well now. After the security check, he went inside to find everything already in place. All cognitators were manned, every screen lit, and the large holomap in the center showing the Eye of terror in all its glory. Several planets were blinking red, whilst a few had Vulture's star above them, indicating a successful takeover. As he walked toward the map, he shot a glance around at the faces gathered. In the room itself was Warteq, General Gratius, Admiral Holicin, Champion Damilic, and 'The Mystic'. Along the moniters near them were countless other faces, waiting for orders or waiting to give reports. As wartez takes his place, Holicin opens her mouth...

Holicin: "Hmph... late as usual then..."

Wartez: "Well, when you have to deal with one of wartev's toy along the way, that can slow a person down for a bit."

Damilic smirked, his toothy smile matched only by his beast like eyes. A simple man, he loves battle for the sake of battle. Many of the cultists looked to him as a great champion of vulture, a 'Chosen Disciple' they say, as the man singlehanded won several battles against large forces of foes. Seeing his potential, vulture had made him a champion among his forces, a key figure that would represent him and his ideals in the field. He rarely ever spoke though, a trait far too common with the 'strong' types, wartez always thought...

Gratius: "I take it our lord is busy again?"

Wartez: "Yes unfortantely, but one such as he doesn't waste time if I recall."

Gratius: "Indeed Lord Wartez."

Gratius was old imperial general, and a good one at that. During one campaign, however, he made a deal with chaos in order to save his men. In the end, he was enslaved to chaos, and his men were all killed. Looking for a way to fight back since, he was found by vulture shortly after the Darksun campaign. He joined vulture willingly and has been the UOV's best general under Wartez and Vulture.

Wartez: "Now then, as to why this meeting was called?"

Holicin: "Weren't you the one that called it?"

Admiral Holicin Locaris, Once imperial captain, twice a Pirate queen, once a slave, and now leads of the entire UOV Fleet. After being abadoned by the imperium, she took to piracy, where she built up a rather large fleet... twice. But after being taken by the dark eldar, she soon found herself bought by wartev. When Wartev's ship was attacked by her own pirates, she was forced to take command to defend herself. Wartev had gone back to the Warpforge during the battle, and Holicin would have been killed, had a UOV fleet not come to her aid. Essentially freed by Vulture, and saved by him (twice if you count wartev's plans for her), Holicin swore herself to vulture and his cause. As said, she now leads the entire UOV navy.

The Mystic: "I called for it..."

Wartez turned toward the alien woman, the only one he didn't think he would ever truly trust with even a vuldiers life.

The mystic was 'supposedly' an eldar farseer who was left for dead. She had appeared in front of the palace one day, and after speaking with Vulture, was now one of his most trusted advisors. Either Vulture thought she was an extremely dnagerous enemy (Which seemed unlikely as vulture would have either told him or had her killed.) or believes she will be very useful. The fact that vulture had told him anything about her (or his plans for her) was very disturbing to wartez... but he trusted his lord, and when his lord thought it best to tell him, he would tell him.

The Mystic: "Becuase their has been a shif in the warp space around here..."

The holo-map zoomed to a spot of empty space in the eye, along with the incredbly unstable rip flailing around  in space.

The Mystic: "I believe A planet of great interest will appear here soon, one which a certain abyssal sorceror has been waiting for..."

Wartez expression darkened, his hand curling into a fist...

Wartez: "What makes you so sure of this...

The Mystic: "The energy dissapating from the rift matches that to the abyssal sorcery we have encountered before, and the only force that use such energy is that of the forgotten legion and their abyssal sorcerors..."

She was right, of course. The readings indicated it was the same type of energy as used by the abyssal sorcerors...

Holicin: "Is this it? Nothing save a planet that will appear 'soon'?"

The Mystic: "Considering just how important this planet is... we may expect a massive movement from several warbands... which would mean..."

Gratius: "A large chunk of the enemy being in one spot."

Wartez: "I see... I'll alert our lord about this. For now, we should prepare a force for when it appears..."

Gratius: "Considering the expected numbers our forces will have to be sizable..."

Holicin: "And who's going to lead it? Most of the expierenced champions and Commanders are out fighting in the eye..."

Wartez spoke as he left...

Wartez: "No need to pick..."

And as the doors began to close

Wartez: "I'm leading it."

And with that, the doors closed with loud thud, leaving the rest of the room in silence...
