--Battlecries of the Second Precursor War

The flare had been detected three months ago. The particle flare was detectable in real time, that moved at multiple thousands of the speed of light. It signaled that the Atrekna were 'sinking' a stellar system to hide it, to adjust the sun to a red giant, to either exterminate or enslave the population of the system. The gas giants would be used to produce Dwellerspawn and Autonomous War Machines. The habitable planets would be xenoformed for the Atrekna and their servitor species.

The Terran Confederate Space Force and Military Services added the system to the target list. Nearly six hundred capital ships and their attendant vessels were slated to take back the system, or defend it in the chance that the flare had been detected before the system was actually sunk down.

The apparent paradox of keeping a system from being sunken down after the particle flare had been detected already didn't seem to raise its head. Scientists were at a loss to explain why there was no temporal paradox for preventing the system from being sunken despite the system having been detected at being sunken down.

There was reason but not one that the scientists could detect.

[The Universe Liked That]

XXXIV Corps AKA The Dirty Thirty-Four, part of 17th Army, was tasked with the defense or liberation of the system. It had a population of thirty eight billion sentients, one native xenospecies, a single habitable planet, and a fairly active yellow stellar mass.

The fleet, Task Force Loha Shair, cleared their guns for action before they even dropped out of hyperspace. The troops were in their drop cradles, vehicles, and mechs.

The Task Force Admiral had made that decision based on the fact that they couldn't be sure, even with advance surveillance probes, exactly what they would be dropping into.

The probes came back showing everything normal in the system.

Task Force Loha Shair dropped out of the hyperspace with the roar of "HEAVY METAL IS HERE!" coming in deep into the system, only a scant handful of light minutes from the various planetary masses.

It had been a risk worth taking to divide up the task force in order to seize control of the orbital bodies.

A risk the Admiral had mitigated by ordering guns clear.

The Task Force streaked into existence, dropping into realspace.

And found itself in the middle of the enemy despite the drones reporting the system clear less than sixty seconds prior.

Large Dwellerspawn and AWM units were already making for the gas giants and the three uninhabited solid planets. Dwellerspawn and AWM units were closing on the inhabited plan.

Before the Atrekna forces could react to the appearance of the Confederate Task Force, the order was bellowed out from hundreds of battle bridges.

"TARGET ALL GUNS ON THE ENEMY AND FIRE AT WILL!"

One second the Atrekna and
