MMORPG : Rise of the Interstellar God Chapter 90

On a hot and desert planet, two children were playing balloons under a blazing sun, the temperature was about 35 degrees Celsius, a particularly cold day for the planet Cronos I, but for the Geoils, humanoids like kangaroos, it was a suitable climate... the two children had been playing balloons almost all afternoon, but as they were getting ready to go back to their hut, one of the two children let go of the balloon. Thousands of black traces hid the burning sun of Cronos I, but the two children after a few seconds, saw that in fact this shadow was spaceships...

Cronos has always been a very sparsely populated system and very poor in resources and its membership in the federation goes back only 10 years, the Geoil people had joined the federation following the aggressive expension of the Orc empire...

But while the two children were stupefied by what they saw...in the distance, they heard a terrifying sound that was the alarm of the nearest big city...

It was a sign that something bad was about to happen... They rushed home crying...

At home their two parents were around a strange device called "SuprInverter" a device able to pick up any space radio wave provided it had the right frequency, it was an extremely common device in isolated colonies like the planet Cronos I...

The Super-Inverter announce a terrible news...

The orc fleet led by warlord Regnier had just violated the Federation border... This led to Grand Chancellor Souley declaring martial law throughout the Federation and appointing Grand Admiral Azerof as special military governor of the Cronos, Diolas and Kios systems and their inhabited planets, including the one where the Geoil people live... This was an extremely serious measure for them, it probably meant that they would suffer the direct consequences of the war...

On the Planetary Capital of Cronos I...

Cruisers arrive over the metropolis, thousands of Federation fighters fly over the planet, in a show of force to deter possible civil unrest following the federal government's announcement... several shuttles land in the garden of the Planet's Governor's Palace.... A man in a colonel's uniform came out of the ship with several hundred federal special forces soldiers, he rushed inside the palace, and evacuated the building's personnel except for the governor...

this surreal scene, took place almost everywhere on the planet, the special forces occupying the strategic points of the planet.

The colonel turned on his hologram and said :

"It is done Admiral Azerof! Cronos I is under quarantine, we are ready to defend the planet... And as you ordered we have placed nuclear charges in the main cities of the planet, if the orc land here we will make them a maximum of loss!

It was a desperate measure, but Azerof had no choice...

After 3 months of latent crisis, the Orc fleet had finally taken action and penetrated the borders of the Federation... Even if war had not yet been declared, the situation could at any moment degenerate into an open conflict between two space powers... Chancellor Soley had even been forced, despite suspicions of treason, to appoint Azerof as Military Governor of three solar systems on the frontier, giving him more power than any other military officer in the Federation...

In the upper Atomosphere in a capital ship...

A special meeting was held with Grand Admiral Azerof, Grand Admiral Wesley, and a number of people who were conferring remotely in hologram form such as Supreme Chancellor Souley, General Ralfot, and several political and military members. Many people hated each other at the meeting, but the situation of the Federation was so critical, that they put their differences second... The country hadn't been at war with a galactic nation in more than 30 years, so this was a major event in the federation's history... anti-war and anti-martial law riots had even broken out throughout the federation... and neither diplomatic discussions nor attempted mediation by the galactic community had been able to stop the escalation between the nations. ... the order of the meeting was simple... was it necessary to declare war on the orc empire now that it had violated the sovereignty of the federation? Obviously, supremacists like Azerof wanted to, but the chancellor and general Ralfot were against it... So the debate was deadlocked...Nevertheless, until the fleet of the great warlord Regnier was finally detected in the Cronos system... which put an end to the meeting...

On his side the Supreme Chancellor Souley prepared to announce to his people and to the rest of the galaxy, the declaration of war...
