**BACKGROUND DEVELOPMENT
The End of the Zidagar Civil War**
-------------
_As the Loyalist and Rebel factions were destroyed, General Arcturus of the Zidagar Isolationist Movement took full and total control over the Zidagar.
The only exception being Titan and Kedan, now under the command of the IGNA and ITA.
At the same time, the Azdgari and Miranu armada moved into Titan to prepare for the final assaults on the Isolationists.
As Igadzra fleets invade Maktee and Coya, Arcturus is preparing a move so risky and costly that it will change history forever, or so he hopes..._
Fleet Commander Daraes grinned as the IGNA fleet moved forward in a massive line, slowly beating back and destroying the Isolationist fleet.
"Ctyak? Status?" she asked.
Commander Ctyak on the IGNA Igazra Remington spoke back to Daraes via comlink. "All is going well. We're currently engaging a few Zidaras. The Isolationists are beginning to pull back and... YAAAAAAAHHH!!!"
The comlink fizzeled and went dead as Daraes looked to the viewscreen. She just managed to see the remnants of a Zidara exploded as it rammed an Igazra, creating a massive ball of fire. Suddenly a large section of hull plating flew out, crashing into a nearby Igazra and nearly cutting it in two. As that ship exploded, a dispersal rocket slammed into an already weakened Izaga. The Igazra's whole front section exploded, and the ship drifted away and exploded as a group of over 200 Isolationist vessels jumped in.
Daraes watched as the massive Zidagar fleet began to open fire with SAEs and Pursuit Missiles. Several Izagas exploded as the Izar Battle Wings charged forward into the fray...
...And were promptly blasted back by a wave of dispersal rockets.
They charged again and this time engaged waves of Zidagar Fighters. But this was only a distraction for them as Zidaras and Zigras charged forward into the IGNA line. A battlegroup blasted apart three Izagas and charged the mighty Templar. The supercruiser which had miraculously made it out of the battle with the Akrahd now fought the old enemies of the Igadzra; the Zidagar.
The battlegroup was mostly incinerated as the rest of the IGNA fleet took heavy losses and pulled back to guard the Templar. But Daraes knew this was hopeless as a Zidagar Fighter was hit by a SAI and spun into the Templar, blasting through its shields and ramming the Templar. Though it only caused a minor hull breach, it shook the Templar badly and showed Daraes that this was a hopeless battle.
"Commander Ji'Vek, prepare to..." Daraes was cut off as Ji'Veks Izaga was blow to pieces by a Zigra. Daraes sighed and broadcast the order herself. "Prepare to retreat back to Titan. There we will make our stand. Our job here is done."
The IGNA fleet quickly turned around and hyperspaced out...
...Just before the other 600 ships which were part of the Isolationist armada jumped in...
------------
Commander Takyra of the Kayan fleet in Titan looked around the massive multi-government armada. Approximately 500 ships large, the armada was quite impressive. The Kayan commander looked over the aid fleet, just as the IGNA armada hyperspaced in, and a sub-space transmission was sent to all of the ships in Titan...
"We begin."
Over 600 Zidagar Isolationist ships from multiple vectors hyperspaced in. The Azdgari, Miranu, Kayan, and Igadzra vessels were simply stunned as the enormous fleet opened fire and charged, weapons ablaze.
The armada quickly recovered and fired back, also charging. The Azdgari, with their superior speed, charged into the massive wall of Zidagar ships first. As the Azdgari fleet was torn to pieces the Miranu came in next. Their powerful warships fired off dozens of energy pulses, taking down many ships but still getting torn up in the process. Then came the Kayans (who were sticking near the IGNA) and the IGNA fleet.
As the fleet engaged the armada, many other ships flew past them and onto Titan Prime itself. Firing missiles on the Kayan Frieghters in orbit, turning them to burning hulks, they then began to open fire as several frieghters began to drift into the atmosphere and became burning fireballs...
-----------
The situation on Titan Prime could now be described in no other way, but pure, uncontrolled, Panick.
As missiles and SADs began to fall down to the city, creating massive fireballs as buildings collapsed and people began running, walking, and driving out of the city.
Admiral Ceras'Thor, one of the last remaining Loyalist admirals, looked out the window of the Titan Prime capitol building as explosions raged across the surface. The air was filled with the smell of smoke, rotting flesh, and explosions. The city was filled with screams, the sound of collapsing buildings, and explosions. A Miranu ensign handed Ceras'Thor a datapad then rushed off to his fighter.
The old admiral looked at the pannel, which displayed some of the latest information. As Fleet Admiral Aldaris, the leader of the crushed Loyalists, resided peacefully in Miranu space, the Titan system was under attack by a massive Isolationist armada. For all Ceras'Thor knew, the galaxy was coming to an end.
That was his last thought as a SAD warhead incinerated the building he was looking out of, causing a massive fireball and thousands of tons of wreckage to spew out in all directions...
----------------
The battle in Titan raged on as the Zidagar engaged their most hated enemies. Ships exploded left and right as the massive armada annihilated dozens of ships within moments.
The Azdgari had taken a heavy beating, and their supercruiser, the Rune was under heavy attack and was just barely holding off attacking Zidaras. The Templar was also hit hard but then pulled back to help protect the Rune , giving both of them protecting from the attacking fleet.
The Miranu were also torn apart as the Zidagar used special tactics to split them up and take them down one by one. But then the Miranu moved into positions around the IGNA fleet as the Azdgari took up a position around their supercruiser and the Templar. The Zidagar hopelessly assaulted the two big dreadnaughts, so turned their attention to the IGNA.
However, then Commander Takyra led a large group of Azdgari and Kayan ships into the fray, taking down numerous enemy warships. But then they sighted a massive vessel; the Acheron , a new type of ship neverbefore seen.
It was General Arcturus himself.
He had specially created the Acheron by taking three Zigras and building them all into one big dreadnaught. Well, at least he called it a dreadnaught. It wasn't nearly up to the specs of the Rune , but it got pretty close.
Takyra fell back to the Azdgari fleet, which then charged the Zidagar as the IGNA and Miranu did the same. This overwhelmed the Isolationists, but they soon recovered and countercharged.
As the battle went on, suddenly, a group of 200 IGNA vessels jumped in. They had attacked Coya, secured the colony, then attacked Maktee (which had been left undefended), and secured it as well. They then moved into Titan, and made a welcome site to the exhausted Igadzra, Miranu, Kayans, and Azdgari.
But then, as Takyra was attacking a Zidara, the Acheron moved behind the gunship and opened fire with a massive barrage of phase beam fire. Takyra's vessel shook as it escaped the massive vessel, but then watched as the warship prepared to fire on an Igazra that was damaged and disabled.
In a final blaze of glory, Takyra flew forward at Arcturus' ship. The Kayan Gunship rammed it, creating a massive fireball and blew a large chunk out of the ship. Then the Rune and Templar moved in.
Opening fire with massive fusillades of weaponry, the Acheron was unable to fend them off.
As a core overload occured, Arcturus swore as his personal vessel exploded in a violent fireball, so hot that it glowed white. The Zidagar Isolationist leader was dead, and the once glorious Zidagar armada was doomed.
With aid from more Azdgari and Miranu reinforcements, the Isolationist armada was slowly beaten back and wiped out. After several more hours of fighting, the Zidagar fleet was destroyed, completely and utterly. No one escaped.
But the armada had paid heavily. The Azdgari lost 150 vessels, the Kayans 30, the Miranu 100, and the Igadzra 125. Wreckage and derelict ships dotted the Titan system as word came in of the fall of Yori to the Miranu. Shortly afterward, the Azdgari captured Ruvar.
The Zidagar Civil War was coming to an end, the once proud and mighty Zidagar fleet now nothing but a mere 200 weary, undermanned, and underarmed ships that would soon fall to the Miranu, Azdgari, and IGNA.
The Battle of Titan was a victory, but a costly one.
Now the question was if the Zidagar sector would ever recover...
