Lirath - Ground Battle

 After dropping off some of the crew at Balisair, it was time for the crew to set course for Lirath. The situation greeting them wasn't the most promising.

The cracked surface of the moon called Lirath was one of its most unmistakeable features. One of the three moons of the planet Kehoe, it had been terraformed and served as a settlement for a hundreds of different species, some humanoid, some not. Despite occasional class struggles, environmental issues, and speciesism blocking their way, the darker parts of Lirath's past were largely left behind, and an era of peace and tolerance had reigned for quite some time. The only problems they'd had recently were with a terrorist group whose cause for their actions had been a mystery, but they weren't tied to any particular species or social group and had been likened to a cult and had largely gone quiet in recent years.

Now the peace on the moon of Lirath had been shattered by the invasion of the Ohm.

The capital city had been destroyed. Now, all that was left of the peoples of Lirath was evacuating from one of its smaller cities, one known as Smyteval. A desert city, existing in a valley in between a rocky range of canyons and mountains, even though it was in the low ground, the natural channels of rock served as bottlenecks for any Ohm attacking from the ground.

GIA squadrons patrolled in space, locked in explosive warfare, protecting the Bleed-gate that had been activated to see the evacuated ships to the refugee world, and a shield created by massively-powerful shield generators extended around the city and up into the atmosphere, creating a shielded tunnel so ships could escape.

Word had come that there was a vital weapon to be deployed on Lirath, one that needed to be destroyed, hence why the Transmigration 9 had been called in. Given the diverse crew, and the ships that were in its hangar, there was at least someone or something on board that could blow the weapon up if it did show.

There was no sign of it yet. Right now, there was just chaos, streams of evacuees boarding ships, armies of Ohm engaged with GIA soldiers outside the shields, and forcefields that everyone hoped would hold out just a little bit longer.

The crew would be following Leon's orders but finding themselves fighting side-by-side with GIA platoons, full of various species that were currently all getting their asses kicked severely.

The far off tank would be the least of their worries as a concentrated group of Bombardiers had been concentrating on lobbing a huge acid ball over the group, finally releasing it, it was as if it rained acid all around the area where the team was fighting from.

In addition, more squadrons of Shrikes made their way around and where heading full speed into the team from all directions, launching lance after lance at the group.

To make matters worse, one of the Firebugs below launched one of it's deadly huge bio-plasma blasts from below. It seemed that they have noticed the priority shift from the retreating GIA members, to their new allies who were proving much more formidable.

Celena reacted in an instant to the huge ball of acid launched above, a large if thin barrier forming over as many as she could manage. Her markings glowing ever brighter as she rapidly multitasked between energy fields to protect from above and temporary fields to deflect and absorb the energy lances being hurled at the group from the Shrikes.

"Aibghalien, a wall of Force below would be quite useful right now!" she called quickly as she summoned up a smaller shield to keep the plasma blast at bay, one that would only cause it to detonate further away, a full wall of force would stop any further damage getting past.

"I agree with her," hissed Ultimate Big Chill, passing through Shrikes that got too close to freeze them solid and breathing flames into the hordes.

"Damn inefficient," the wizard grumbled as he conjured the protective impenetrable barricade. "All right, get over here and tactic-huddle. We need to deal with that Firebug."

"Hardly that inefficient," She quipped in return as the impact on the impenetrable barricade made that clear, the explosion of the plasma bolt that of similar to several ballistic missiles shown below it. "I could draw it's attention, with illusions and barriers I should be able to draw its attention long enough for one of you to take it out,"
