Shining, luminescent spacecraft Lining the horizon Extraplanetary objects Absorbing the light of the sun Trapped between the Imminent forces looming Ships gathering Beyond the quadrant Adversaries from a far off Galaxy now amassing Cautionary shields charging to Withstand the nearing assault Take another path straight to the Asteroid belt driving them into close quarters Separate the main formation Blast the deviating ships pursuing Countering the frequent barrage Multitude of vessels burning sequentially One by one the searing structures Explode all across the firing line They gained the upper hand as the allied Fighters are laid to waste in an instant Solar cannons blast through the defenses Alien munitions wreaking havoc Combat against the wrathful foes Agents of terror Bringing their plague from Cygnus A a torn galaxy War Permeating all destruction Death Numerous casualties arise Life forms inferior to the machines that they create Destined to bring about the end of their race The putrid stench of their scorched alien flesh A small price to pay for the species’ death The hatred escapes their eyes as the battle ground’s brought to a black hole Their systems failing under the pressure in which they now drown Crossing the event horizon they succumb to a greater force As particles of light pierce organic matter and scatter their hordes No escape for their scores Their screams echo off of the pieces of their broken ships The sound waves finally lost within the portal’s grip Fall An empire ripped asunder Burn The traces of their legacy We bring about the ash of all that you create and mark the faces of the Triumphant with what is left to celebrate the day Take another path straight to the Asteroid belt driving them into close quarters Separate the main formation Blast the deviating ships pursuing Countering the frequent barrage Multitude of vessels burning sequentially One by one the searing structures Explode all across the firing line They gained the upper hand as the allied Fighters are laid to waste in an instant Solar cannons blast through the defenses Alien munitions wreaking havoc Combat against the wrathful foes Agents of terror Bringing their plague from Cygnus A A torn galaxy War Permeating all destruction Death Numerous casualties arise

Outer worlds designed the mechanized legion Awaiting to fight the invasion foretold Building from technology Found in the outskirts of known galactic space Frozen remains contained a Beacon transmitting to worlds unknown Constructing war mechs from pieces of extraterrestrial tech Reverse engineering Fragments of a forgotten cosmic republic Traces of arriving Forces scanned in extragalactic regions Production of weaponry Racing to finalize all defensive systems Sightings of scouting ships Surveying, Impending Find the intruding vessels approaching Order battle mechs To attack Entering local space Emerging spacecraft seen Shoot the incoming warships surfacing Track their transmissions To the source Under siege by droid swarms Engage the defenses Now Power the deflectors Send our final signal To all outer planets

Floating through the starless Cosmos in search for a new haven Passing through the boundless Galaxy praying for Another planet to inhabit Further into unknown Space of abandoned, unsettled sectors Observing unnamed systems Past the range of all archaic maps Delving into the last Regions forgotten, never discovered Fueled by the promise of a Water covered exoplanet A fading Distress signal from Outer rim planets warning of a war Requesting help Descendants Of old exiled clans Post-humans evolved in the aftermath Of a past exodus Opposing an invasion Prepare all emergency protocol Centuries in hypersleep Awaken the essential combat crew Signs of a battle glowing in the shadows Thermal readings showing an onslaught Robotic ships lighting the horizon Ensuing chaos throughout the system Warring machines clash far off in the distance Sentient droids leading the conflict Thousands of mechs nearing our position Ready the proton missiles and launchers Facing the ominous force Advanced synthetic beings Storming the mechanized legion At the cost of losing countless lives suddenly Bombing the intruding craft Amidst an extinction Protect the primary ship of Colonists from the amplifying catastrophe Devastating Systematic Annihilation plaguing the universe A relentless Calamitous Extermination of organic life Floating through the starless Cosmos in search for a new haven Passing through the boundless Galaxy praying for Another planet to inhabit Further into unknown Space of abandoned, unsettled sectors Observing unnamed systems Past the range of all archaic maps Delving into the last Regions forgotten, never discovered Fueled by the promise of a Water covered exoplanet Droids have brought an End to this odyssey Wandering into a Tragic struggle Beyond recall Overwhelming losses Fall back to another Adjacent star A single guardian left in one piece Outer world spacecraft diminishing A lasting sentinel left fighting Surrounding the surviving forces Bombing the intruding craft Amidst an extinction Protect the primary ship of Colonists from the amplifying catastrophe Doom follows intently Stakes have increased drastically Turn on the hyperdrive Make a break or perish Find an opening to our salvation Rescue the remaining colony ship Leave a field of mines and set the course to The destined planet safe from incursion
