Remnant: Stellar Shock and Awe (RWBY X Stellaris crossover)

Chapter 2: You have been saved

Chapter 1: You have been saved.

So just a heads up, during the recon phase of Operation Shadow Hawk, the UN/Commonwealth forces will be using equipment (mostly vehicles and armour) that shares a resemblance to those used during the early 21st century. Also note I will be taking elements from other fandoms like Halo, Command and Conquer, Mercs of Boom, and a few others.

Note that this is 100% fiction. When we get to the Beacon arc, most of the characters' lives will stay the same. Otherwise, there will be some differences (Like certain characters surviving).

March 9th, 2857 (10 years before the battle of Beacon)

We got the base camp setup. It's on an island a few dozen klicks from the coast of the Kingdom of Vale, south of the Actual city. It's about the size of Thetis and Penelakut Islands combined, both of which are off the coast of Vancouver Island on Earth. There are no villages for several Hundred kilometres so we're safe to do all the building we want. We're also lucky that the people of Remnant haven't invested much into space travel. What ground-based telescopes they do have are in the Kingdom of Atlas. All spaceborne ships and aircraft are to stay away from the Northern Hemisphere. And we were lucky that there was hardly any seafaring travel near this island for hundreds of kilometres. We can actually deploy a maritime base here. There is also a large chain of Islands south of its location so if we need to expand, we can do it without people noticing.

Anyways, the island doesn't have a name so we've named it New Sandfish Island. Why? I don't know, the Grunts named it. Anyways, we got to work by deploying a few drones to search for any large swarms of Grimm and using a few metal rods dropped from orbit, along with a MOAB, to take out the biggest of the Bunch. I'm thankful the corvettes and destroyers are armed with VLS tubes full of light Space to ground missiles because a 60 megaton nuke would have annihilated everything. After that, Ranger platoons stormed the island looking for any surviving Grimm. No casualties (thank goodness all of our troops have Hybrid-Mag weapons and energy shields) but we discovered that our M3 line of rifles may not be enough. We've requested a batch of the newer M5 battle rifles. A field test would be nice.

Once the Grimm were gone, we deployed several construction teams and drones and are in the process of building up the base. We have the Barracks and a few Cold Fusion plants set up. We will have a proper Research Lab setup in a week or so, along with sensors, a vehicle production plant, actual restaurants, airfields, and defences.

Not a bad start.

The good news, there are a surprising amount of raw resources on New Sandfish Island. That means we won't have to be entirely reliant on the UNS England's fabricators and system conveys. I think the brass is going to be happy that resources can be diverted to rebuilding the surrounding systems. The research lab is also open, the eggheads are happy to begin vivisecting those Grimm and learning about this Dust.

In Other news, we got Fabricators, the Airfield, proper facilities, and all the necessary buildings needed for a proper military base. Brass has currently forbidden us from using anything heavy like new MOABS, tanks, nukes, etc, but armed drones, a few attack VTOLs, IFVs, and infantry should be enough for now. We're looking into beginning operations to clear out the nearby island chain. We're going to need a new name for this place.
