Seras Refuge....A hidden refugee sanctuary on the tundra world of Baris IV in the Baris system.

The camp was hidden between the thick woods situated in a mountain valley,the refugees made use of a old bunker system used by smugglers long ago to hide from Helix patrols however as the conflict escalated Helix tightened security on the Imperial front and with the added patrols discovered the refugees.The trapped survivors had broken radio silence to send a long range planetary transmission for aid.Luckily the allied forces where able to pick it up.

The empire sent a expeditionary force alongside a team of engineers to establish a emergency Wormhole gate that would take the refugees to a moon inside Imperial space,the problem was however that the wormhole gates where still prototypes due to it's high energy cost and need to power down after transporting a set amount of matter.The engineers worked themselves to the bone to set up the gates before Helix would respond.

There where three gates.

Gate Alpha was set outside the main bunker entrance in a open field with limited cover for both sides.

Gate Bravo was set inside one of the open halls of the bunker and was the most fortified with Imperial machinegunners covering the two entrances to the hall.

Gate Charlie was on a hill outside the secondary entrance of the bunker and overlooked gate Alpha providing snipers with vision on the open field however it was likely that Helix would try and wrestle control of the hill.

The gates where all charged with by large power cells within a fortified mess hall inside the bunker,Helix would no doubt try to cut power to the gates by destroying the cells.

The 44th Expeditionary Regiment 'bunkered' down and prepared for the worse,luckily they would not fight this battle alone.

"Brothers and sisters, its time to put your training to good use." Jaya stood before the eleven other Angels before her, eyeing them each up and down. There was a fair mix of men and women, all adorned in decorated silver armour through the back of which their shining white wings stretched out. Jaya too had her wings spread for all to see, making them all ready to take flight at a moments notice. "Our homeworld was ravaged and abandoned by the Demons because there was no one left to help us defend our home. The same will happen today if we do not defeat these new demons; these robotic abominations." She spoke with believable disgust, most likely because her father had a hand in their creation.

"Take arms against these demons," Jaya drew her blade, a glowing silver longsword decorated with the head of a Phoenix on it's hilt. "Assist our Imperium allies and seize the day!" They all then drew their swords, lifting them high in revelry. Moments later though they moved fast, splitting as evenly as they could between the three Gates. Jaya herself took to Gate Alpha, landing with two of her kin beside the Imperial forces.

"Looks like there's little cover, so get ready to take the skies." She nodded to her kin and to the soldiers around them, bracing themselves for the enemy.

From the woods emerged the reinforcements of the Imperium, the Anunaqi. The giant Hunter-Species were clad in intimidating tribal armors with ornaments of fallen enemies that decorated the many leathers, scales, and chitin armors they wore. And for this particular war, they wore ornaments of fallen Helix-bots; steel hands dangle off their belts, masks and horn-wear were fashioned from metal 'skull fragments'.

Whether or not the Anunaqi believe this will instill fear into Helix is left for debate. But one thing is certain, it did have an effect on the refugees as they see the proof of the Faction efforts and their temporary alliance in defeating this robotic scourge.

Leading the Anunaqi battalion was none other than the 'Rasenaqi' Xa'rinya also known as Xa'ra, the right hand of Council member Maq Ra'im.

The ground troops were spreading out after being debriefed on the situation, the potential weaknesses and any dangers that they needed to keep an eye other than the incoming Helix-Virus. Some guarded the power cells inside the bunker while others assisted both Imperial and GSU forces.

The 6'1 Huntress glanced at the angels as she passed them by to take her position by the Charlie gate. The Anunaqi had heard of them but never seen one in person.

Xa'ra had a stray thought, how interesting for angel and demon to fight alongside one another. Mythical creatures warring against Machines...

Despite having seeped in luxury for years now, Kat was still a battle hardened sniper, willing to show off her prowess and leadership to the other factions involved in the helix fight. She was not alone though, a fragile woman armed with mostly long ranged weaponry picking a fight on her own is a bad idea, so of course she brought her usual juggernaut bodyguards. 2 mk2 raider armor clad close range gunners and 2 charlot units to shield her. This was as 'alone' as she ever got in combat. She eventually reached the bunker after alot of mosquito's and swear words and had her troops surround her.

She watched through her scope and connected to the voice comm channel to communicate with the other defenders. "No one in range yet, i'll report to you once i see helix activity. I set up a small defense point nearby the bunk at a vantage point."

In charge of the Imperial forces was Colonel Alexander Kraus of the 20th Argatu Expeditionary Corps,he took a stern look at the holomap in front of him.The bunker was damp and hot despite the relative chill of the outside tundra,his furrowed brow was wet with sweat,not from the heat but from the stress. They were well armed and prepared but the presence of the gates meant one thing.

The Empire was not going to hold Baris,they simply needed to buy time for the refugees to escape...They where ordered to give their lives if they had to....It was a tough call,there where well over 4 thousand refugees all stricken with dread and desperate to evade Helix's wrath.The Colonel checked in on all communications channels and only after a few minutes he gave the all clear.

The gates where activated,the engineers hurried to adjust it's tunneling matrix to one of the moons orbiting New Serpentum. The gates crackled with energy and hummed to life as the cells powered up causing the gate's rounded arch to spin as it began the sequence.Of course the amount of energy these gates would expel would attract Helix like moth's to a flame.

The Colonel switched the channel to the intercom system build into the bunker.

"Attention gate-personnel prepare the evacuation procedure,line the civilians up into groups of 1000 and await further instruction."

The refugees where formed into groups the children where placed first,the Imperial gate crew took the names and details of each refugee to process them to the Civil administration for relocation once they arrive at the refugee camp on Stom'Cho. Their faces carried weary eyes and most carried unease at being herded like sheep to salvation. The intercom crackled to life one again.

"Begin evacuation process"

The refugee swarm began moving in their groups towards the Alpha gate,their breaths only added to the humidity of the corridor.When they arrived outside they where temporarily blinded by the sharp winter sky and it's local star,they saw the gate and the new world waiting on the other side,it appeared as dark as the bunker with dim lights and distorted figures moving across it.

The Colonel was then addressed by one of his lieutenants. "Sir picking up movement of quadrant 7-B"

He turned back to the Holomap....7B...7B...Ah the ridge 2 kilometers west of Gate Alpha.He contacted the recon team there.

"Delta 9 report"

"..........."

"Delta 9?"

"........"

The Colonel was distressed. "Put all forces on alert....."

Corporal Teran Lers was stationed at Gate Alpha and watched as the refugees slowly poured into the gate.His face hidden under his helm mask and bearing the standard Expeditionary uniform with pride,he like many human forces in the empire where more then willing to push back Helix....But this wasn't the front....He had to watch refugees....He wanted action....He got his wish.

Several energy blasts rocked near gate alpha and tore some of the marines to dust.The machines charged firing wildly at the gate unaware that it was shielded.Almost as a sign of the sorrow to come it began to rain...

Rain poured down hard as a storm gathered and gunfire was exchanged between the two forces.

"Here they come!.....Defend the gates!.....Medic!.......Suppressive fire!.....Focus on that one!" Reports and commands would scream across the squad channels of the Imperial forces,flooding the command room with a enigma of yells,cries and orders.

Helix was pushing directly on Gate Alpha,with reports of a Helix vessel entering orbit to land troops at Gate Charlie.

Losing either gate would force the Imperial forces and their allies to retreat into the bunkers.

The Defense of Seras Refuge had begun.........

Jaya lunged forward, swooping upwards in a small arc due to her outspread wings. As the gunfire rained down her magic allowed to absorb some of the impact, protecting several civilians from the devastation. For a few moments she held strong here, waiting for the first wave of fire to dissipate before she could move forward herself. Soon enough the chance came, at which point she spiraled forward and made sharp contact with a Helix soldier.

Her blade cut through it with a flash of light, sounding the start of their defense. Now on the other side amidst flying robotic parts, more gunfire converged on her position. It seemed she had planted herself amidst the lines of the enemy. In response to this her wings curled around her, glowing a beautiful white that would almost fill any watching organic with high emotion (if they were capable of such). Not only was it a mesmerising sight, but also an effective defense. The enemies laserfire found little leeway in breaking the enchantments of her feathered barrier, allowing her to ready herself for the counter attack...

Xa'ra stared down the hill, observing the battle at the Alpha Gate when her PDA started to send her a communications alert. She looked up to the skies and warned the Anunaqi of an incoming Helix vessel, most likely here to either drop of troops or offer air support to its soldiers.

She responded to the Anunaqi on her PDA, "Rase, mota," she said before yelling orders to the alien warriors.

The Helix vessel was as ominous as the factories that she had toppled. The grey steel ship was large and noisy. The Imperium forces immediately opened fire to it, hoping to bring it down before it could deploy reinforcements. As the ship hovered over the hill its ramp opened as dozens of Helix-bots jumped out and landed amidst the refugees.

Xa'ra turned to the Imperium engineers, telling them to guide the refugees into the portals. "Forget procedure! There's no time-"

She couldn't finish her sentence when Helix began to fight back and commence to try and take out the gates. The Anunaqi have already begun with the counter-attack. Combining dark magic with blades as dark tendrils slammed into the heavy frames of Helix soldiers while serated swords attempted to penetrate through structure weaknesses.

The dropship that had detached in slipspace from the Cavalier on its journey to Farnin had just popped out right near the first moon. The Paramilitary soldiers that sat on board looked out the cargo hold window watching down below at the refugees lining up. They all held their weapons tighter as now injured refugees began to pour in. We bypassed the moon moving faster as we began to enter the atmosphere. The Captain of the 4th Division walked into the hold from the bridge his helmet resting under the crook of his arm.
"Listen up!" One of the Sergeants shouted.
The Captain nodded at him before turning to stand in the middle. His gun was on his back and his dark brown eyes scanned the soldiers now standing at rigid attention.
"Listen up soldiers...Down there on the planet are robots that are trying to kill innocent civilians who've lost everything. They've lost their lives, their homes, their families all to some space parasite that's fucking up the universe." He stops and looks out as they begin to descend closer to the ground and the sounds of explosions.
"We've all been blessed to live in on a planet that doesn't have to deal with this...but just imagine losing everything that you've ever known...know what would you do?" The men shouted and pounded on their chests. The Helix ship came into view and the pilots cursed over the comm lines. We were coming up from behind it as the pilots watched the Helix bots pile out of it as well. The men gripped their guns hard as the cargo doors light turned green. The ship did a 180 as the Paramilitary marines shouted once more before all 45 of them jumped out at a height of around 50 feet. The Captain was the last out and he looked back at the cockpit area. The co-pilot looked back and waved. "Don't worry! We'll take care of these slow ass bastards!" He turned back around and the weapons lock bell chimed throughout the dropship. He felt 4 Hawkeye Missiles leave the ship as the screaming over the comm lines started. The captain put his helmet on before jumping out into Hell.

Despite the combined force of the angels and their deadly mobile attacks and the Scelforian Marines the sheer vast number of Helix forces started taking hold over the surrounding fields.

The Drosden pirates kept supporting the defenders with their snipers but as the fire drew closer and closer the Imperial forces dug in to defend the Alpha gate with what little defense they could muster.The rain soaked the landscape and brought more misery among the scared civilians being rushed into the portal.Imperial marines kept their defense to ensure that stray fire would not hit the civilian group,but sometimes that defense failed and a bullet would impact into the slow moving sea of refugees pouring out from the bunker.Screams filled the field but Imperial officers continued the advance of the civilians,forcing those who slowed down the column with threats of forcing conscription unto them to replace losses in the defense.This fear of absolute death if they hesitated ensured that the civilians continued their wave advance to the teleporter.

Gate Charlie was being overrun as well as Helix bots poured to overwhelm the sniper positions guarded by a small marine squad and Jaya's angels.
