Raijin sank down into the vast sea of circuits that ran the entire station. Her nanite swarm spread all throughout the core as her own consciousness mingled with and reviewed the various intelligences that ran it. And although this was all something she had done hundreds, if not thousands of times before, this seemed a wholly new experience for her.The station’s complexity and advanced technology certainly helped in making her feel this way. Mostly, it was because she was analyzing code that had lasted for tens of thousands of years.The entire system’s operational core was certainly antiquated, but it allowed the more complex self-healing, self-repairing, self-learning Administrator to grow around it. She was able to patch over most of the old code and modernize it. Most would see that as its only saving grace, but Raijin saw a bit more in i
Ravens of Eternity The Unleashing of Typhon
Outside the station, the many thousands of previously aggressive ships had long since descended back down to the station itself. They all dipped down into the nanite pool they came from. And there, they were all quickly dissolved and redistributed back into the pool itself.Once they were all gone, the ships of the Einherjar and the Republic also descended down to the surface. But instead of sinking down into the pool, they instead landed solidly on its surface.There, nanite swarms flowed through the landing gears up into the ships themselves. They coursed all throughout every ship in both fleets and repaired and reinforced them from the inside out.Because the station had a near-infinite amount of raw materials of every element, it was easy enough for the nanites to recreate raw omnitronium ore. Or even bett
Ravens of Eternity The Apples of Discord
The Void Quark embedded itself in the iron ash core at the absolute center of the star itself, where it began to consume everything around it. And in the process, turned itself into a black hole.The sudden shift in gravitational pull at the core caused all the layers above to collapse and spin further inward, ever closer to oblivion. As it did so, it spun faster and radiated extreme amounts of radiation. Waves of intense heat and energy swept out as the black hole core was fed more and more, and caused it to grow exponentially.As a result, the star all around it turned a deep, dark orange and swelled larger and larger. Its equator began to bloat and stretch as the sheer energies of the black hole core spun it faster and faster. At the same time, it easily consumed the planets closest to it until it was to the point of bursting.
Ravens of Eternity The Gates of Hell
The Matriarch watched the swirling chaos of that distant system for a seeming eternity. To all around her, she burned a hole right through the space between. Whether that was vengeful or not, most didn’t know.She herself roiled deep inside. The guilt at all those losses ate into her. It shook her to her core and threatened to bring her to her knees.But thankfully, she held her will and remained firm.“I hope that’s the only shot we ever have to make,” she said.“You know as well as I do that they’re already calling our bluff right now,” replied the Grand Parliamentarian to her right. “I’ll bet a hundred ducats that both nations have already sent comms requesting for time. To get their business in order, or whatever
Ravens of Eternity The Beginning of the End
Swarmfather Delvath paced in small circles around the center of his bridge. Everywhere he looked, his fleet was battered to death from the robust de Jardin fleet. He couldn’t help but feel despair at his fleet’s predicament.Not once did he think that Imperial technological superiority could be outmatched. And yet the de Jardins had somehow outpaced them.“Where’s the rest of the assault fleet?!” he demanded. “They should’ve ported in here with us at the same gods-damned time!”“They’re citing delays due to technological problems,” reported a communications officer. “Reportedly, they will join us as soon as they’re able.”“Pah! Gods-forsaken liars. Can’t trust any of these dam
Ravens of Eternity Ragnarök, Pt 1
All of the fleets began to shift and weave as the fighting evolved. They all began to twist and spin and swirl around the center, with one of the de Jardin devastators right in the middle. It remained completely motionless as its internal port beacon was activated - the only way for them to get reinforcements now was through their ship’s gate.Because it needed to remain still, the rest of the station’s defensive fleet flew in circles around it protectively. And flying around them in a wide circle were the Imperial and Federation fleets as well.It was all like one giant typhoon, ever spinning, ever flying, ever destructive. Except instead of being made of wind and water and thunder, this was made of metal and fire and lightning.Every ship fired ceaselessly at their enemies with every turret

Both the Matriarch and the Grand Parliamentarian let out long sighs of relief as their primary reinforcement fleet flashed into space.Many of the technicians all around the control room sighed with relief along with them. All of their screens and holoprojectors were updated with countless alerts and reports and updates.Although what they saw relieved most of their immediate worries, High Admiral Pavir and his officers were far from content. In fact, their anxiety lowered only marginally, even though their numbers had practically doubled.—Typhon Defense FleetDevastators: 4Carriers: 12Battleships: 23
Ravens of Eternity Ragnarök, Pt 3
Two all-volunteer squadrons flew out of the main de Jardin devastator’s hangar bay. Each one held a dozen fighters as well as a dozen mecha. Not only that, but each of them had a 24 drone escort flying alongside.Each of the pilots triple-checked their instruments and MFDs even as they flew towards their staging area.“Squadron Karna, ready,” said one of the squadron’s captains.“Squadron Achilles, ready,” said the other.“Acknowledged, Achilles. Acknowledged, Karna,” replied an officer over comms. “Your wings have been cleared, and your missions are a go.”With that, both of the squadrons immediately sped off. Though they didn’t fly straight into the massive s
