Celestria was enjoying her cup of tea in her thrown room before her guards swarmed in and slammed the door ship followed by screaming and explosions beyond the closed door.

“Princess, we need to get you out of here” commanded one of the Guards. “It’s not safe here!” The other said.

“From what?” questioned Celestia with a confused look.

“We are under…”

“Do you hear that?” interrupted a guard standing next to the door? “It’s like a beeping noise.”

A beeping sound was heard, then it was finished with an explosion

The throne room becomes filled with smoke and Royal guards went flying in every direction in a bloody mess. Within the chaos several bipedal creatures flooded into the room pointing what looked to be like weapons at the remaining guards that survived the explosion and at Celestia herself.

“What’ is the meaning of this!” she demanded looking at the creatures that stormed her throne room.

--- Two Years ago---

Two weeks before the First ISA Invasion of Helghan.

Scolar Visari was pacing back and forth waiting for the news of his civilians being finished evacuation. The Stress of being Autarch was getting to him like all men with great power and his face was truly showing the effects. The Nation he built for over ten years is about to fall and he knew it.

With news that the ISA was planning 'The Invasion of Helghan', he knew that all the Women and Children are needed to be evacuated along with the men who can fight in the battles are to come to war with The Helghast. These are his people and the ISA is due to show their faces to destroy what he has built.

"Visari, my friend" Called a Man in his late fifties. "Three Stahl Arms Battleships, and advanced Cruisers are ready at your command to escort our people to a new home."

"Thank you Stahl. These are the survivors of our nation." Replied Visari Grimly as he knew, the people would never want to leave their beloved home. Their beloved Helghan. "Are you sure, they will survive the trip?"

"I'm most certain that our people can handle the effects of the Wormhole." Stahl replied with a voice of arrogance. "I designed these ships myself for the trip and I know they will not die on the other end."
Visari Look at Stahl for a few moments, the stress in his eyes, All his work soon to be fore nothing. As he turned to look at his most trusted Commander, Colonel Radec.

"Give the order to start the launches. Tell General Lee, if he needs to, take the planet by force, he has more than enough troops to do what he needs." As Visari looked around the room, he tilted his head and gave a little grin, "I'll give them a speech for the people to remember Helghan with, may one day they return if the planet is doomed."

Planet Helghan

Stahl Ship Yards

In the Helghast Battleship, HGE Visari sat a young commander who just graduated Radec's Academy for Commanding Officers at the top of his class. Unlike the other General's of the Helghast Military, he never wore the thick armor, and helmet like what most commanders, he was more of a military suit and tie type of guy when he was behind the front lines.
General Lee Visari was sitting at his desk in his Flagship. 'I thought Admirals get control of fleets, how did I get this job, and its not even in my branch of the military I signed up for.' He thought to himself. He placed his feet up on the desk to relax since there was nothing to do until these ships launch to who knows where. His uncle Visari picked him out especially for this mission.

His goal was to escort the civilian ships to some new planet and defend them. The rest, the computer is programmed with special jump coordinates and protocols until we reach the destination.

As he drifted to sleep a loud metallic voice awoke him from his slumber, startling him and causing him to fall out of his Chair.

"General Lee, Wake up!" Yelled Radec. His Hologram appeared over his desk. Radec had his Helmet and face mask off which was rare to see happen, but never the less, he was ticked. "Sleeping on the Job, I should have you court marital and shot for that! " he yelled.

"But I can't, because I have your orders, you are to launch as soon as the last of your troops had boarded along with those new MAWLR units. You will receive the rest of your orders once you arrived to your destination."
General Lee walked to the Bridge of his Command ship and watched two out of six massive MAWLRs being loaded and the final troops entering the ship. After about five minutes looking out the window, he turned to the captain of the ship, "How long unlit we are ready to launch?"

"Not for another three hours, we got another two ships that just got assigned to us. Mega Carriers" replied the captain. The Captain was a Female who easily got into the Helghast Navy by her wits a lone. The Helghan People are displeased of females in the Military and should be at home where it is safe, but Jane Adams wanted adventure, something exciting.
And she proved it in front of Radec with out writting him and passing though Ship command like it was a piece of cake.

"Why more ships? We have over 150,000 troops 50,000 Tanks, 6 MAWLRs and and 50,000 fighters, ATACs and god knows what else."

"I believe these carriers are carrying Stahl Arm's Instant Civil structures, They say, you Drop and it builds itself in seconds. From what I read, its not a permanent fix, but its enough to get our civilians a home until we can get real buildings built."

"Well, that's good" replied Lee, looking at both of the Carriers's manifest. Another 150,000 Troops ,two MAWLRs and several support craft and vehicles. "You think we are going to war with all these Military personal."

"You are telling me, personally, I think we are invading another Planet and colonizing it at this rate." said Jane with sorrow in her voice, "That's all we need, another war. Its like its not enough. A War with the ISA that we are losing, we start a second front."

Lee looked out the windows with holding his hands behind his back, "That's all we need right now" he said in a grim sarcastic Voice.

Four Hours Later

The Fleet of Ships was now entering Helghan orbit, "All Civilian Ships are accounted for Lee." said Jane, her voice was tense with stress, they had a poor lift off witch almost crashed the ship into the ground because of a faulty thruster at the front of the ship.

"Good, now I don't want us crash landing where are are heading either, we don't need to be de-" Lee was then cut off by a Hologram of Scolar Visari, "Nephew." said Visari in a Grim voice.

"My Autarch" said Lee as he knelled in front of the Hologram. "We are ready to jump when you give the word."

"That's good to here, It is time for you to know the true nature of this mission. We sent probes into a wormhole which reported back a Planet that is habitable.

There are intelligent species on the planet from what we gathered but very peaceful. But according to the probe, if they proven to be a threat, destroy them."

The Hologram then disappeared and the image of Scolar Visari appeared on every screen on every ship.

"My people... Sons and Daughters of Helghan... For many years, we have been a broken nation: shunned, oppressed, and conquered by those we sought to escape. Ten years ago, I asked for time, and that time was granted by you. You: the strength in my arm, the holders of my dreams... Our forefathers embarked on the greatest exodus in the history of all mankind. An exodus for freedom, Helghan became that freedom. Our new world changed our bodies. At first, it weakened us, but in fact, we were growing... stronger. In the time you have given me, I have rebuilt our nation, I have rebuilt our strength, and I have rebuilt our pride! But the ISA threaten our Freedom, they plan to destroy what we worked so hard for, but we'll never give them the pleasure. As of today, my nephew, Lee Visari, is now Autarch of New Helghan. May he guide you to a new home."
