BOOK III: 2482

2482

Like almost 500,000 years ago they appeared with an armada, some estimated to contain a billion space ships. They again came from the general direction of the Andromeda Galaxy.

The Palan where the first as their main worlds lay right in the path of the Y’All.

The Y’All seemed unstoppable and and despite valaiant efforts of the Navy the Y’All ships where almost imprevious to all weapons and only concentrated fire of the most powerful weaponry had any effect. The Y’All caused heavy losses and casualties.

Unstoppable the Y’ All advanced and their course would eventually take them past Saran and Earth, the Y’All crossed into Saresii space, the Saresii did not posess many ships,lost their entire fleet and before the Y’All would reach Saran Prime it looked as if the Saresii would meet their fate and one of the oldest Civilizations of the Galaxy was certainly doomed.

Out of seemingly nowhere a gigantic disc shaped space ship appeared. It was bigger than anything anyone had ever seen. The alien ship opened fire and Y’All ships exploded one after the other. The Y’All retreated for the first time!

The remnants of the United Stars fleet that had tried to stop the Y’All from approching the Saresii system was hailed and this hail entered human history: “This is Richard Stahl aboard the Devastator! It looks like you could use a hand. But I better leave now since I am not welcome.”

Stahl was invited to appear before the House of Representatives and renistated in his former rank.

Where Stahl got into posession of that gigantic ship was a tightly guarded Terran secret for a long time. Stahl also brought a new weapon, the Translocator Cannon and new shield technolgoy.

The new weapon was produced and installed in great haste.

The largest fleet ever assembled by the United Stars engaged the Y’All near the Coldrun System and in an epic battle of more than a month in duration destroyed the entire Y’All armada. No ship of the Y’All escaped. It was still a costly battle.

The Saresii joined the United Stars.
