01 Aiurans Empire - The Reclaming

The colonies of Anurans, long since abandoned after the fall of the ancient interstellar empire. remained as a decaying reminder of their glory. Since the great war no Anuran was seen here. Rare few who survived the onslaught fled to the farthest corners of the galaxy, and no one has heard from them. Until now!
Anur Prime. The mighty dreadnought slowly approached the planet. so steady, so bright, so beautiful was his long lost homeworld, but now, he will take it back and with it the honor of his people! Soon death and destruction will once again stir its surface, but this time it will be a good thing. Aiurus stood by the window and watched as the first dropships started flying out of the massive ship's hangar and toward the planet surface. He knew it will take much effort to reclaim Anur Prime, but even more he would give to reach his goal. "And so it begins" he said to himself. impatiently he started walking, than running toward the launch pad, eager to once again step on Anur's surface, to once again meet the foul Xenos in combat, the same ones that almost destroyed his race. Watching clone troopers as they board the dropships, setup their gear and prepare the supplies, for a moment made him stop thinking of them as a tool, instead he saw them as an allied race... Upon reaching the launch pad where his battlesuit was placed, he took another look around the hangar, his mind filed with the thrill of the upcoming battle. Battlesuit closed around him, for a moment complete darkness and silence, than it came to life and Aiurus launched it toward the hatch. He was used to this type of battlesuit. so operating it took no effort. The battlesuit. was added orbital assault armor which would burn off while entering the atmosphere. additional armor was melting and falling off in pieces revealing bright white and blue armor plates of his battlesuit. Missiles, projectiles, laser beams, started screaming toward Aiurus and the dropships of his clone troopers. They have been detected. Massive but inaccurate ground fire didn't even forced clone pilots to change course or take evasive maneuvers. few random impacts that occurred were deflected by energy shields with no hope of damaging the craft. Return fire from the dropships started clearing out a landing zone. The ground fire was first diminished and than all that remained were few stragglers, who were lucky to avoid being hit. Landing zone was cleared. Soon, cargo ships carrying battlesuits, vehicles and other supplies were landing on this huge plateau from were few large decaying city's could be seen. Upon landing Aiurus detached remaining axillary armor freeing his battlesuit. for combat. With 3 other clone piloted bs. he cleared out those few remaining xenos who had defiled this place with their foul stench! He gave command to the engineers:"begin base construction, we need a foothold on this planet, a staging ground for future plans. Also we need emplacement turrets to secure the perimeter." It could be clearly seen how his command is obeyed without hesitation! Clone soldiers were created for war and little else, but it seamed that they should be given all the honors and privileges of a full fledged race! Battle com came to life diverting him from his thoughts. "The scanning of the planet is complete sir," said the clone navigator aboard the dreadnought and continued:"The scans show some of the city's are occupied by xeno's and few other new-found settlements and army camps. Also there is a anuran star-port which contains few cruiser sized spaceships and high concentration of xenos! Awaiting further command?". Aiuru's eye's gleamed with grim joy, as he gave the command:"Begin orbital bombardment! Target the star-port first, city's are to be left undamaged!" Clone navigator swiftly replied:"Acknowledged commander!" Aiurus was pleased all was going according to plan, when out of nowhere hundreds of xenos started storming the positions of aiurus and his soldiers! In an instant clone troopers were organizing the defense and started firing at the incoming xenos who were falling and dieing in agony, those fit by immensely powerful and accurate rifles of clone soldiers were torn in shreds by energy or melted from the heat, limbs and body parts got torn of and the fallen ones were relentlessly trampled by those behind them, by the unstoppable tide approached like an angry beast! Aiurus was already firing with his battlesuit mounted dual railguns and sending volleys of unguided missiles, he didn't miss, not a single round, rage and fury, he was the death incarnate to xenos! Clone soldiers and Aiurus sent countless salvos at the incoming xeno infantry killing, disemboweling them, spilling their foul blood on Anur's field's. Still they came, even after losing hundreds, they know no fear! And now, in the distance, their gigantic walker tanks could be seen crawling! First xenos line was about 500m from anuran troops, the xenos, being inaccurate as they are, had little hits and those that landed caused no damage, energy shields proved to be very effective! Aiuran's knew that if the xenos get into hand to hand combat all will be lost. They pushed their rifles and minds to the limits killing at an unnatural rate, it still wasn't enough! As the approaching xenos reached about 200m from the defenders positions, huge explosions started annihilating xenos army. Orbital bombardment! And not a moment to soon, Anuran position was almost lost. Dreadnoughts orbital bombardment railguns and missiles sent surgically precise destruction on xeno's completely annihilating them. Last few hundred xenos left standing quickly crossed the last 100 meters and started slaughtering first lines of Anurans, their blue blood slating and painting their own and xeno troops alike! Aiurus was in the thick of it, he wasn't using railguns anymore, now he was engaged in a bloody melee hacking and slashing foul xenos with his energy blades. So strong was his fury and anger that even long after he slew last xeno soldier, still he kept cutting and hitting their carcasses until all that remained was a pile of flesh and bone mingled with their foul blood! After finally he calmed down, Aiurus dismounted his battlesuit. looked to the sky and shouted:"VICTORY!", so loud that it could be heard for miles around.
He knew that this was just the beginning and that this was only a vanguard of the xeno main force on this planet. Soon, their fleet will arrive and than he will have to battle on two fronts, that is why he needed to clear out ground troops as soon as possible. The battle for Anur Prime had just begun and so had the battles on all the other planets in the cluster, a crusade of the Anurans, who will not rest until every xeno is dead or dying!
