Eh. These pistols aren't good at causing enough chaos. How about we step it up?

*shoots two cartridges from my pistols*

*cartriges dissolves into a large magic circle before an armoured nine-headed mechanical hydra materialises out of it a few seconds later, ripping apart anyone unlucky to be near it*

*Starts slaughtering Slaneesh followers* Stabby Stabby *Mr Rainbow uses his light powers to burn through the daemons* ships have been sent to the other planets in the system. Mostly agricultural worlds, easy prey. Doom, I would recommend that your Khornate army stay away from Mr Rainbow

(ah... i am back! thought after this post i will not be able to post for roughly 3 hours, due to the fact i have to go to Mass.)
heh. and that was just 5 gunships. alright, i found some of the Lihzardian power cells, should be able to warp those to the dynamo to get my fleet back up and running. *takes some glowing orange canisters and warps them out* *pretty much everywhere, my things come back online* good. this paltry force was enough for the city, now time to get to work. now then, where is my fleet at the moment... *check datapad the pops out of Nowhere in my hand* oh! nearby. alrighty then, the Black Valley Fleet should be on it's way. time for me to take care of anyone trying to warp out... *suddenly, a massive thrumming sound appears in the air, making it sound like something massive is passing overhead* there we go. the distortion field. no one can warp out of the system now, only in. you can still warp around the system, just not out. now then, time for me to bring in my best gunships... Ranger-Class Gunships, warp in, NOW! *roughly 60 gunships pop out of Nowhere* if anyone wants out, just go into Nowhere. it still exists in the system, but the distortion field exists upon all planes of existence. now to wait for my inquisitor ships and my obliterator flagship. (THE MAIN FLEET OF THE BLACK VALLEY ARRIVES WHEN I GET BACK [in three hours]. UNTIL THEN, THE GUNSHIPS WILL GUARD THE AREA WHERE THEY WILL WARP IN. DO NOT ALLOW THAT AREA TO BE OCCUPIED, OTHERWISE THE FLEET CANNOT WARP IN.)

@etg2002 Have you even been listening to me? I told you, the Inquisition ships must remain intact...the whole purpose of this mission is to FORCE THEM to conduct exterminatus and destroy the planet. That's why we are here. So move your gunships, I already told you!

Also, how the heck did you find the power cells? when did you have time to dig for them, we've only been here 5 minutes and we only reached the ground 1 minute ago...

Ion. Cannons. need i say more? also, as to your power cell question, do you have any clue how easy they are to find? ah, the fleet is here. *entire fleet pops out of Nowhere* alright, use ion cannons only, battleships, activate fortress mode. try and make it seem that we want this planet intact. gunships, warp out. relay cruisers, fire overload cannons at will. try and shut them off, but only temporarily. now time for the fun bit. mechs, as soon as you see them, pop on board the small ones. try to suprise them enough that they decide it is not worth a full on battle, so they may try to find a easier option. i already got one of hte power cells sig, i have made it so the entire planet seems to radiate that energy frequency. doom, if you have a clue as to what these do, the inqui-whatsits will want these entire place gone. if this was really radiating that energy, it would summon a behemoth of unimaginable power. alright, since i was to lazy to check what you said earlier, i have no reconfigured the fleet to do what you wanted. eh. oh, and by the way, what do you mean by other side of the galaxy? you do know i can warp space-time right?

*hydra heads start blasting various elemental attacks at the enemy*

I don't think etg understands the objective at all. Not that it matters anyway.

i don't understand anything. i just pretend to.

*Bashes the Orbital Relay's door and exits the Space Marine Command Center*

We are done here, the commander is dead. Ap, head out. Take the Berzerkers with you and assist Chryos, he has to come here in time. @etg2002 , the Inquisition armada is composed of black Capital Ships but they will probably have multiple smaller ships as escorts. Try to engage the escorts, but do not destroy them. If they start losing the fight, they may retreat. Try to engage the escorts and retreat after some minutes to let the exterminatus proceed as planned.

@Swarmlord2 take the hive ships that remained back and shoot down every Imperial transport that tries to make it out of etg's blockade, while he fights off the Inquisition escort ships.

Me and my Bloodthirsters will have to hold this area. All the Space Marines of the city will attempt to converge to this orbital relay, to evacuate before the exterminatus is initiated.

*Space Marines start appearing from the North and the Southwest, firing*

Just in time. Slaughter them like sheep!

*Bloodthirsters fall upon them*

Hurry up Chryos. I can feel the Armada travelling through the Warp. They are almost here...

Roger that. Falling back.

*activates self destruct on hydra before heading back to Doom*

Alright... wait. can't we just board the ships and conduct the exterminatus ourselves? if not, OK then. if we can, i already have the Black Legion ready to attack. gunships, seek and eliminate escorts, however, act as if you are not as powerful as you are, not powerful enough to destroy the capital ships. after skirmishing, back off, but harass them. constantly make small strikes, not enough to impact, but enough to convince them to keep attacking, as this planet is obviously going to be a problem. in the meantime, mechs, i need to you hold the line. Doom, can't we just decimate the relay? and also, how are we gonna get out? i can deactivate the distortion field, but it will take roughly 8-10 minutes. other than that, time to have some fun. *pulls out dual Venus Magmi (i think maybe perhaps 50% chance that is the plural?) and warps around the enemies, killing indiscriminately at enemies* have fun!

No. If you attack the Capital Ships, they will turn on you. Usually they just send the escorts onto the enemy fleet while the Capital Ships focus on destroying the planet....but if you attack the Capital Ships, they will forget the Planet and focus fire on your fleet. Leave the capital ships alone and do NOT destroy those escorts. if the escorts are destroyed, the Inquisition ships may retreat.

can't we just board the ships and conduct the exterminatus ourselves?

No we can't. Aside from not knowing how it is done, the Inquisition is known to self destruct its ships immediately in case they observe any sort of boarding action, as do all Space Marines.

Even if we destroy the Relay, the Space Marines will still muster here, as will all the Imperial transports arriving to get them. Literally destroying the relay makes no difference

*Shoots a fireball setting a Marine on fire while slaughtering another with sword*

*Pitch Black capital Ships and a massive number of escorts appear in the sky high above etg's ships*

The armada has arrived. Don't screw this up everyone. They will take some minutes before starting the exterminatus and will prioritize leaving this area intact for their troops to escape. Stand your ground for just a little longer.

alright. *heads out* where should we go now?

this will be fun. gunships, harass them. relays, try and overload some of their ships, just a large enough pulse to disable them for a few seconds at a time. only attack the escorts though, we cannot risk them losing progress on the exterminatus. however, i have a plan on trying to figure out their tech. time for me to have some fun. emphasis on TIME! *all of the sudden, everything stops. only AP, myself, Doom, chryos and swarm are able to move.* they can't activate a self destruct if we do it quickly enough so they cannot react? *warps onto a enemy escort, takes a scan, then warps back* well, aside from the fact i have no clue how long this will take for me to decipher, but any and all tech is foreign to me. least you have a scan of their ships now. oh dear. out of power. *time resumes as normal* welp. that was fun. anyways, capitals, do the same as before. no then, it is about darn time i brought in some back. BASTIONS! DOWN! *all around the city, massive tower slam onto the ground. from where, you don't wanna know. they deploy, revealing massive turrets and energy shields* yeah. don't get close. they will shoot at everything that gets to close, be it friend or foe.

(my orders from a moment ago will continue indefinitely until one of you orders me to stop while i am asleep, or when i wake up. have fun!)

Alright etg, we've done our job now fall back. Are you sure you want to lose your entire fleet to the enemy?
