It was a long journey for the Ananaki, having to make several stops on various planets to catch up on sleep and stock up on food. The X-series star ships may be the best of the best when it comes to speed and maneuverability. Even their Magi-tech turrets were considered quite powerful, but sadly these ships weren't exactly built for long-term space travel. 

But they had finally arrived; hungry, tired, and stressed. Xa'ra and Maq Ra'im sat within the darkened bridge of their ship, having the perfect view of Station Ive'rr 7. The symbol of Hope and Despair floated around the brown dwarf, numerous ships from fallen worlds drifted around the station like bees to a hive.

The Ananaki wondered who else received an invite to the Council?

After they had received clearance to dock their ship, which they took their time to do, they prepared themselves to see the leaders of this new alliance.



Maq Ra'im was still sitting at the steering orb, dressed in his casual wear which consisted of a simplistic red sarong from the waist down. With hands laced behind his head he watched ships fly by the station, workers busying themselves at the docks, refugees trying to make the best of things...

Xa'ra stared at her mate while she was gearing herself up. She understand the weight on the young warrior's shoulder. Ra'im was the youngest Council Member of Xiqalqa, now elected to be the face of the entire Ananaki Race and their Planet...what's left of it. They both had to fight for this opportunity, literally. Maq Ra'im had won the Challenge and managed to keep his place within the Council for the sake of their people.

It was time for the Ananaki to swallow their pride and reach out to others...

Xa'ra was wearing her light blue sarong underneath her armor. Strapped sandals that go all the up to above the knee, a studded leather V-shaped skirt where the sarongs peeks from underneath, her abdomen were shielded by a Narx'un chitin plate and held in place with red cloth, her top torso was covered in the sarong cloth, and one shoulder had linked chitin plates running down her sword arm. Then knees and elbows had a small chitin pad with spikes on. 

Her hair was tied up in a french braid before she turned to Ra'im. She sighed and brought his stuff over, he had a similar armor style to hers.

She sat the armors down beside him, bringing him out of his thoughts as she began to braid his dreads, wishing to make him more presentable for the Imperium. Slowly Maq began to attach the armor pieces, "You're being more affectionate than usual...Nervous?" he asked his mate.

Xa'ra gave him a small smile, "We should be, the fate of our existence rests in...whatever will happen in that room."

Maq Ra'im rose from his seat, towering over Xa'ra as he lifted her up and sat her down on the console, taking care not to press any buttons. He simply stared at her, not knowing what to say before pointing at the shoulder pad. Xa'ra helped him adjust it, making sure the padding wasn't bunching up underneath.




The Ananaki were being escorted to the spherical war room. With tribal attire, dark goggles and weaponry on their belts along with the magi-tech handguard they were quite the attraction to see. Why wouldn't they? They looked like primitive savages in space...


They both took their place within the war room, inclining their heads in greeting to some familiar faces.

It was a interesting day for Thomas, for just few days ago he had to endure the biggest fiasco in his life, the Omega campaign that was ended before it could have started, at the very least his ship and it's crew did not suffered any casulities, yet it was still considerible setback in his grand plans for a great comeback into the sphere of galactic politics. Then he had met a diplomat from a Empire that was driven into less than considerible status on the galactic stage by this Helix virus he heard so much about, this diplomat was tasked with gathering people,orgnisations and overall anyone willing to band togheter against Helix, this had given Lord Victus a opurtunity for which he would have to search all corners of the galaxy for. He had agreed to come to this meeting and to lend his forces but under one condition that he would be able to meet the main leader of the Remenats of this Imperium,in private, diplomat of course was hesitent but when Victus had said something about certain "Ace in a sleeve" that had a potential to give them numbers needed in such a war........ well let's just say that it was clear that they were in a desperate situation. So now Thomas is walking down the corridor with 2 of his soldiers serving as his bodyguards. When he finnaly entered the spherical war room he imiedietly started looking at the rest of the gathered, studying them from afar evaluating them, trying to know them even before exchanging words with them, truly a hard art to master but for a person who had to attend many meetings, partys and such, in his quest to become emperor, this art was truly priceless.

Also his bodygurads looke like this

Next in line to enter the war room was Admiral Yusuf, accompanied by three gigantic soldiers who wore some sort of power armour that stood them at 7ft tall. Two of them flanked either side of him while the third followed behind the three. The Admiral himself was wearing a ceremonial white uniform decorated across the chest with different medals of achievements. The supersoldiers wore slightly different variations of the same armour with minor modifications being made to suit each individual supersoldier's particular specialisation.

The Admiral stopped as he neared the center of the war room and looked around, taking note of all the representatives of different factoons gathered there. The three supersoldiers meanwhile examined the chamber for any potential threat; the defense of their Admital was a paramount directive in their heads whereas diplomacy would be handled by the Admiral himself.

Yusuf then proceeded to walk towards his seat and sat himself down. The supersoldiers instead stood around him, not caring if the display of protection could be percieved as odd by the other members that had gathered there.

It had been quite a ride from his ship to the council chambers. Unlike the rest of the people here, he had already served some time and tasks within the Imperium and understood a bit more of what was to be going on in the future. Some was mere speculation but, Altus could smell that their was some grains of truth among the bull shit. It didn't take him long to make his way into the council room. It appeared that there was quite a few people already there and Altus of course was the last one. Without a word, he moved to his own spot, a nice little area where he could see the faces of everyone and awaited to see what would be said in this.... interesting endeavor.

All the requested representatives had arrived and the council was now officially in session. The spokesman for the Varanus was the wise Viscount Raxus Imar,one of the few Varanus nobles to have survived the attack on New Serpentum,whilst his scars did heal he was left blind in his right eye and wore a strange mechanism around his blind eye that allowed artifical sight,his face was gored and one would not recognize the same reptile he was three years ago.


He was seated facing the other representatives in the hall with his back facing the one end of the spherical chamber that was repurposed into a half sphere for the diplomatic summit.Seated next to him on opposite sides was the Tech-King of Kyodain and Admiral Lon Mar of the Reich all acting on behalf of their respective fallen factions who have been assimilated into the Imperial remnants. Varanus guards clad in alabaster white power armour and gold robes stood at the entrances with their Vanaksite spears pointed to the roof. The Zikah guard kept a close watch on the various delegates and diplomats entering the room. 


First to arrive where the Ananaki who appeared to be humans wearing tribal attire which reminded some of the Varanus of their ancient history,however these tribals where different from the humans present at the council,their ears pointed slightly like the elves in a way and they wore shaded goggles and carried dangerous yet primitive looking weaponry. They seemed to be a warrior race which some of the conservative Varanus immediately took interest in,their curious nature wanting to see what these Ananaki are capable of.


Next was a human,an apparent lord with a secret "weapon" to aid the Imperium against Helix and future foes,the human was dressed in strange garments and had with him two bodyguards clad in armour,he also requested to meet with the main leader of the fallen empire which would of course be Grand Imperator Zorbek who was not present in the Council as he was elsewhere on the station for the time being.


Next was the GSU delegation which consisted of a man clad in white and adorned with medals,some sort of officer and several soldiers clad in power armour which impressed the martial Varanus whilst also being a cause for concern. The GSU was already in bad terms with the Imperials and those who joined them most notably the Reich who took several actions against them in the past. Admiral Lon Mar grinned at the sight of the GSU Admiral but a slitted glance from the Viscount kept him reserved.


Last to enter was Altus of the Blackguard Coalition who assisted the Imperium one year ago in gaining information on Helix and recovering a copy of the Kyodain AI that had information on the Almisfall protocol,bits and pieces the Imperium had not yet deciphered. Since then these mercs have completed several contracts without fail,they had the full respect of the Varanus delegation.


After everyone took their seats the Viscount welcomed them from his seat,a data sphere floating next to him amplifing his voice.


"Welcome Zodarrin-Ka,honoured guests of the council of Restoration where we shall discuss the threat of this Helix virus and the reformation of the Imperial remnants and the former Kyodain and Reich forces into a new Imperium who's goal would be that to rebuild the North under a single unified banner." He paused.


"I am Viscount Raxus Imar,former governor of Argatu and head of House Imar and I will be representing Imperial interests, I do not recognize some of you so please introduce yourselves and give us your opinion and understanding of the Helix virus ravaging the North and former Nypherian sector."

As Victus observed the gathered, before th viscounts speech, he could discern a few things aleready for example the way the Ananakian representitive looked at him and other man, it wasn't disdain neceserly but still it was obvious that it looked down on them, well at least at him and GSU official, this armored fellow that came here last, the way Ananakian looked at him.............
"Not exactly the look of respect but still hmmmmmm"
Next was the GSU Offical was wearing a clearly ceremonial garb, quite nice looking if he could say so himself, not to mention the amount of medals, either a sign of great soldier or those medals were bought, thought he doubt that latter option was the correct one but still, one needs to have an opne mind look for every option, other than that this person's composure was obviolsy of that who took his job and himself seriosly and his choice of bodyguards, well this man clearly valued security while also showing the strength of his faction, because normal humans aren't that big usualy and power armor doesn't look the type that would give them additional height. last person the armored fellow he came here last and without bodyguards, a frontline commander it seems other than that this perosn look like the type that would booby trap entire room so he could just go safely to sleep.
Soon after the last person entered the room their Host, Visecount Raxus, had welcomed them and introduced himself, after that he aked them to introduce themseles. After bit of akward silence one of Anankian got the unsubtle messeage that they should start talking
"They were the first ones to arive so it is only logical  that they should be ones talking first"

The way they spoke, clearly preidful creatures, not to mention that one of them groweld, at mention that they are at brink of extinction, other than that, the femael representative clearly spoke as to extract sympathies of their hosts. As soon as she concluded her speech Thomas rose from his seat for purpose that should be obvious by now

- My name is Lord Thomas Victus, the captain of my ship "The Royal Steed of Captalism" and once the leader of planet Roma Prime, ann my opinion about Helix virus is quite simple it is a danger to all living things in this galaxy and it must be stoped or else, I am here to help those that want to exterminate Virus.


After ending his short speech he returned to his seat

As the doors to the War Room chamber burst open, the three super soldiers instinctively tensed up and gripped their weapons, raising them slightly as they all looked towards the entrance in unison.

Admiral Yusuf raised an eyebrow as he witnessed the less than formal entrance made by what appeared to be an Elf, listening keenly as she made her demands and whatnot. To be fair, her demands weren't unreasonable in any way. The GSU had no interest in acquiring the technologies of factions that had fallen to the virus. Their only concern was to be rid of the plague before it invaded their territory. If such a virus could so simply sweep the Northern sector of the galaxy clean, it stood to reason that they wouldn't survive against it either. And as far as anyone in the GSU was concerned, at this very moment, he represented these concerns and interests.

After the elf had finished talking, Yusuf stood up and cleared his throat.
"I am Fleet Admiral Yusuf Al Thani of the Galactic Systems Union Council. First and foremost, I'd like to make it clear that our interests align with everyone elses. We too would like to direct all of our efforts to neutralising the growing threat as soon as possible, and we know that such a feat can only be accomplished with the effective cooperation between our respective factions. The GSU is willing to lend troops, supplies and military hardware to the cause of seeing this virus wiped from the galaxy. The time is now to stand together and not against each other. Past alliances or rivalries do not matter in the grander scheme on things.. not when the fate of the entire galaxy hangs in the balance. I sincerely hope we can organise a successful coalition here on this day in order to serve the greater interests of everyone sitting here today - which is survival." He paused for a moment before nodding and sitting back down.

It was interesting to see what each person thought on what the discount said but, it irked him that these no honor having pirates would even step in and make demands for what they would need to be willing to assist in something that even the GSU is offering to helpnwith without a price. As after the GSU representative finished speaking, Altus Reine quickly took the floor. "Although a few may know me from prior missions, let me.go ahead and introduce myself. I am Altus Reine of the Blackguard Coalition. You can already consider me and my forces as a ally to taking down the Helix. However.... I am disgusted by these pirates..." he pointed his hand to Kat as he spoke "who dare ask for something in return in fighting a problem that is everyone's. You want us to give you not only people and tech buy, a entire planet? On your word as a PIRATE captain? You pirates have no honor? You would stab a man who pays you just to see off he has more coin. Unless you can promise to help without the Empire offering you anything except asking these people you want on whether they would go with you or not, then I move for the council to not just dismiss the Drosden Fleet from this glorious campaign but, to aloffer no help when we drive the Helix out of the North and into those territories. Let them suffer for their impudence, I dare say!"

Just after Victus returned to his seat and blended to the shadows, somehow.......... I mean realy this fact even baffelled Victus himself, but before he could properly dwell on this strange thing that happens to him incredibly often and also against all laws of physics
"Seriously It is if I was sitting in a dark corner of the room all the time even if the room is a sphere or my seat is in the middle of it"
..... Very(Ok not very because they only met once, in Kats case, her life, and in case of Victus, in his one lifetime) fmiliar person waltzed into the room, the Captain Kat of the Drosden Pirate fleet, first person who deliberetly went under his skin a person for whom he could only feel one thing.......... Mild dislike....... Yeah what did you expect? For him to be all Claw like and go "NEXT TIME KAT, NEXT I WILL GET YOU", no no no no, Victus isn't like that, he is more subtle than that, if he was a saturday-morning villain he would already get up and start screaming at her or some shit like that, No he would wait for response of others, which he got after Kat made her demands, which was very much a rude thing to do, go to a meeting where you weren't even invited and then just waltz up there with 2 havely armored bodyguards and start making demands, if she wants to make an show of force then she should take lessons from GSU representetive, but we are geting off topic. The first one to speak was, coincidently, GSU representative who seemed to ingored things that Kat said, only saying that we should stay calm and "Not to look into teeth of the given horse" and said what GSU could bring to the table, his profesionalisim was truly comendable. Next one was the armored fellow, Altus Reine, name worth remebering, who was very direct with his discontent with apearence of the Pirates, to be fair saying that Pirates have no honour should be well known and saying it out loud is kind of retundednt, but with many other points he brought up Victus couldn't agree more, also this gave him an idea to drive the final nail into the coffin of those pirates geting things out of this deal, his own testimony which will, or at least he hopes that it will, invalidated the word of Pirate Captain even more but he should wait and see what his host and soon-to-be Anankian ally has to say about this situation and what he heard pleased him greatly, both Visecount and Ananakian dellegetes bereted Pirates in fashion that he found quite funny, after that they went to talk over tactical information which would be most useful in coming Campaign. As soon as talking stoped he left his seat and stood up and started speaking
- Dear delegates I may have some interesting infromations concerning our unexpected pirate guest, Captain Kat, this information shall be, in a way, addendum to what Mr. Reine had spoken about dishonorouble nature of those Pirates, you see before I came here I actulay had plans on taking over Omega as to make this Scumpit of the galaxy into and orderly place where people can invest their money, maybe even a forward base for those seeking to take on Helix virus or other activities concerning this humongous threat, yet the station was under attack by those Pirates, now I could obviously turn around and leave the space near Omega but I am not one to just give up on any obstacels, so I opened a comunication channel to discuss an option oof turning over the ownership of the station to me, let's just say that before negotianions concluded our Pirate Captain here decided to blow big part of Omega up, which should speak badly about her being a trustworthy person. But now to get to tactics, I belive that strategy of cuting Helix territory is a sound one, other than that I could mention a load of things that should be rtaher obvious so obvious in fact that they do not need examples.

After that speech he returned to his seat

The meeting seemed to escalate quickly, all in response to the female Elf's dramatic entrance. Altus Reine was the first to voice his displeasure at the pirates' presence in the war room.

So they were pirates...
Yusuf furrowed his brow. There were minor reports of non-GSU commissioned activity taking place within their territories. Reports of pirates salvaging their technology - infantry weapons to be specific. Knowing the newest arrivals to be the culprits now, Yusuf changed his personal stance on their demands and decided to stand against whatever they asked for.

His stance was only backed up by The Viscount's blunt reply to the pirate's demands. Yusuf wasn't necessarily a squemish person. He had seen his fair share of bloodshed and corpses, mutilated and charred. However the appearance of the diseased man in the chamber, especially after he removed his mask horrified him. While his outside expression remained stern, if slightly worried, internally he felt sorrow for the man who was clearly suffering from his condition.

He then listened intently as everyone proceeded to strategise against the virus. The Viscount's idea of attacking the enemy from multiple fronts was a sound one. Losses were definiely to be expected but Yusuf was no stranger to that expectation. What had to be done, had to be done. No matter what the cost. He'd never imagine himself in a situation where he'd be standing alongside those that he considered enemies to the Union. It went to show that times had drastically changed, and ultimately no one knows what bizarre things await them in the future.

Soon, more criticism aimed at "Kat" came from Lord Thomas Victus. If anything, it further solidified Yusuf's opinion on her faction. Finally, she herself spoke up about how much use she and her pirates would be to the war effort. A vain attempt in Yusuf's eyes, but he wasn't so arrogant to think that she wouldn't be useful as all. However, something made him feel that perhaps she'd be more of an obstacle than ally in this conflict.

He once again stood up.
"We have indeed engaged the virus from our side. The Union has dispatched multiple strike forces comprising of Knight's to engage the enemy head-on while some of our Elite Troopers have dropped into enemy territory to gather intel. One thing is for certain." Yusuf paused as he looked over to Maq Ra'im. "Helix Prime is most definitely the origin of this plague. It was the original birthplace of the Helix robotics company founded by Daniel Almis. We are inclined to believe that the virus is a result of some sort of failsafe protocol gone wrong in the event of his death. As mentioned before, we already have a strike team comprising of Elite troopers behind enemy lines, gathering more intel on this virus. Meanwhile, I can guaruntee full cooperation of our ground forces in pushing the enemy back. Our newest Omega Legionnaire super soldiers will be of the greatest help in this conflict." He turned to look at Kat, who was heading towards the exit. "And we have more than enough of them to dismantle this... meat grinder with or without additional help from a few pirates." He said the last part in what sounded like contempt.

He then looked back at the Viscount, nodded in respect and sat back down.

Altus scoffed at the pirates weak attempt to threaten them. "Do you believe us to be fools? With the combined might of all our forces and resources, those obstructions you speak of can be measured, quantified, and taken down methodically. You under estimate us and you over estimate your position. I may not speak for the rest but, unless you change to a more friendly tone, then you will not have my nor the Coalitions support in protecting your people. Maybe you should think less of what you can gain and more of the lives you would be saving because, when we push their forces back... make no mistake, the Helix forces will be at your door and it will be you against them with no help and then it will be your people in a meat grinder." Altus shook his head. "I tire of these pirates. Pardon my... negativity, this should be a most glorious day for the rest of us. I would like to thank you all for being here. While I may not be the host of this assembly, I can say, the thought of us all fighting alongside us for the sake of the sake of good and atleast on my end, some profits, is more than to warm my gun barrels,wallet, and reifoced cybernetically replaced heart. Now, since weve all said our pretty words..." Altus waited for the pirate to leave before pulling up a diagram of worlds. "What kind of hell are we gonna rain on these sorry ass Helix machines?"

Yusuf nodded and said thanks as one of the servants handed some food to him. He took a few bites, inspecting the snack he was consuming before looking over the other representatives populating the war chamber.

The supersoldier standing right next to him was as stiff in his posture as ever, almost like a statue. He held his Nightingale Plasma Rifle in the alert carry position, the only part of him moving being his head as he watched the servants and members of different factions move around to chat.

"Won't you have some, Sebastian?" Yusuf asked as he looked up at the armoured supersoldier. The one known as Sebastian looked back down at him.
"No thank you sir, we've already had our meals aboard the ship." Yusuf nodded and went back to eating and looking around.

"Don't like the way some of them were looking at us." A female voice said. Sebastian looked over to the other supersoldier standing at the other side of Yusuf. Her armour configuration was slightly different than his, suited to her field speciality but nontheless, it was of the same type.
"You talking about the Reich boys over there?" Sebastian said as he nodded in their direction.
"Goes to show that some people never really grow up. The galaxy's at risk and some of us are still holding grudges."
Sebastian looked over the different people populating the war room, engaged in chatter or handing out snacks. "You know... some of those look really good. You up for a few bites Nat?"
"No. And neither are you. We have a job to do, so let's not get sidetracked Sebastian." She replied sternly, while looking about the chamber.
"Sheesh, ain't my fault you ate too much before we left." He responded.

The Council settled down and the Viscount raised himself and his voice.

"Very well,if all other options and suggestions are on the table then it is with great pleasure that we establish the first Galactic Alliance against the mutual Helix threat.We will cooperate on skirmishes as we narrow down the primary network of Helix and until Helix is destroyed we urge no hostile action between our signatories meaning neither the Imperium,GSU or Drosden Fleet has the authority to attack one another lest it causes the collapse of this alliance."


The Viscount took his seat 


"May the Five and your gods keep you safe in the coming campaign and when this is all over let us stand upon the ruins of Helix's hubris and tell tales of vigor and victory to our kin!"
