Fighters from Shade's fleet assist Cannon, swooping around, blasting the little monsters with precise laser bursts.

No need... I've reinforced your internal defences with my personally trained Space Marines (Sigh...not from Warhammer).'

They have the best training possible..from me!

When hearing of this swarm fleet that is now off-planet, Halo orders 6 of his dropships to secure and defend the entrance to the cave so that no swarm can get in or out. He had to deal with the fleet very soon, before they reach a populated planet. Halo and the other 3 dropships exit the planet's atmosphere and head to intercept fleet while calling in reinforcements of 35 dropships, each with 10 Archer missile pods, and 40 longsword fighter with LAAG cannons and 8 Archer missile pods in each.

Cannon's ships fall back, firing cross cutting lasers into the enemy Swarm ships. Rocket pods spew hundreds of missiles out, crashing into the enemy ships. Aquila Fighters streak out of their hangars, eager to engage the Swarm pilots. Explosions can be seen dotting the sky above planet 1.

Are the swarm ships organic, like the Zerg in Starcraft, or machines?

Posted by: lieut_pat
lieut_pat moves his fleet into the area of the Swarm. Swarm fleet interceptors attempt to damage his ships, but none get past the autocannons.

He opens a com with Halo CMDR,"Halo, old ally, up for a joint attack on the swarm?"


"Sure", Halo responds. "I have 35 dropships and 40 longsword fighters inbound to intercept the swarm fleet, ETA 10 minutes. What is your plan of attack?"

I have sent out scout ships to inform me if any of the swarm ships have left the main battle...

"Roger that, this is Echo Two, reporting, nothing moving... Wait... What the hell... SWARM CRUISERS CLOSING IN!!! ECHO ONE, GET OUT OF THER-"

"Echo One? Confirm sighting of Swarm cruisers, repeat, confirm sighting of- WHAT THE HELL IS THA-"

"Bravo One, maintain maximum sonar strength, there are Swarm Cruisers out there. If you see one, get out of there.''

"Roger that, Bravo One out. Did you get that, Bravo Two?"

"Loud and clear, wing leader."

"Good. What the hell... Oh crap..."

"Get out of there, Bravo One, evade, evade!"

"They're closing in too fast! I can't shake the fighters!"

"Hang tight, Bravo team, our fighters are on the way."

"Nooooo-"

"Bravo leader? Our fighters are mopping up the enemy ships. You can start breathing now."

"This is Halo, Shade and lieut_pat, can you read me?" Halo responds. "My forces have intercepted the swarm fleet, you need any help?"

Not really, but im spread pretty thin here. My capitol ships are engaging the main swarm fleet, and my fighters are between the main battle, bombing runs on a swarm planet, and protecting my scouts.

A group of Swarm soldiers take refuge in a temple not far from the large Swarm creature that three hundred dropships and at least one thousand foot soldiers are trying to destroy. A team consisting of Four Vulcans, Five Lancers, eight Zars, 2 Scarabs, and three Draiges arrive at the entrance. The Swarm soldiers take use of captured weaponry and begin to fire upon the troops.

The most awesome thing ever!

Pat replies to Halo,"Not yet, I have them under control."

Pat's remaining fighters from his first assault gater together and attack a Swarm carrier. Archer missiles fly toward the target, impacting on the hull. The carrier shudders but continues to move. The fighters call for reinforcements, and continue to pepper the carrier with autocannon fire.

A cruiser arrives on the scene. The fighters are called in and the cruiser arms its MAC gun and 5 missile pods. Targeting...

Scarabs roll out into the battle scene. The Unfold themselves and fire their chainguns into a group of Swarm troops guarding the entrance. One of them laughs maniacly as he cuts down several enemies in just a few sustained bursts of his Starfire Chainguns. Zars take cover behind fallen pillars and begin to fire at Swarm soldiers on top of the pyramid-like temple.

The most awesome thing ever!

The cruiser has the firing solution and fires. One heavy round and plenty of missile impact the carrier. Smoke is everywhere.

When the smoke clears, which is pretty quickly, space, you know, no carrier is in site. Just a few small fragments which are mopped up by the cruiser autocannons.

A small victory.

Lancers activate their defense shields and push their way towards the temple. Two Vulcans carrying standard issue ZX-213 Laser Rifles follow closely behind. Draiges rain hell upon the heads of the Swarm soldiers. The Swarm have no other option than to retreat into the temple, and try to hold out. The two remaining Vulcans stay outside to make sure no Swarm make a run for it.

lieut_pat and Rogue Spear Alpha Squad suit up. They're going down. Onto the planet below.
A dropship arrives in the docking bay. Pat and his squad board it and brace themselves.

The dropship breaks loose and heads toward the atmosphere of the planet. It's going to be a rough day...

I'm signing out for now guys. I'll be back in a little while.

Cannon sends his own boarding crafts to aid Blue Elite. All types of troops but Draiges board the main ship and assist in fighting off the Swarm take-over.
