Long Live Helghan

The Sins of Our Fathers

I recall when living in my home the propaganda that was shouted from intercoms holographic projections and flyers. Fight against the vectan the ones who sent us to this place to die the place we turned into our home. Only through unity can we prevail only through unity we gain POWER.

  Everyone and everything has come to this moment the moment that changes everything. We can not fail or the fate of the world's will become a far worse outcome one filled with death, misery and suffering.

  We were now in control of this dreadnaught she was ours to do with as we please. Cruising we were a wolf among sheep no other ship seen to notice we took control of it. Navigating
to a strategic position we prepped the main cannon and fired on a leading cruiser. Moments later sirens rang out. Looking at the cameras pilots scrambled to fighters and within minutes a whole new war began infront of us. This time it was brother versus brother and it seemed no one hesitated. It seemed like a life time but we Were brought back into reality by oncoming fire. Two small fighters starting destroying the hull and implacements. Without thinking I hurried everyone to a few fighters I  locked down in place for our escape. As we were running troops ran right past us not attacking or saying a thing but hurrying to the bridge it seemed. I knew i couldn't let them if they got control they could jump to vecta and destroy everything we worked to prevent. Getting closer to the fighters I watched as everyone got on board and before anyone noticed I sealed the doors. Everyone panicked what I was doing or planning. Kira she looked at me knowing what i was about to do she knew what i had to do. A single tear fell from her cheek and a single one fell from mine, as I released them I mouthed the words goodbye and I saw them float into thee void of space.

  Fighters scrambled and were tearing the dreadnaught apart rushing past the debris the smoke the fire I made it to the hallway leading to the bridge. Stahlls men seen me and terrified they began firing attempting to slow me down while one tried to seal the door. Unfortunately for them I made it before he got to the door controls up and running. Taking care of them they activated the slipspace drive and was attempting to charge. Fiddling with the controls i shut down the main engines causing other machines to go offline or break down. Fighters on the other side of the glass fired relentlessly only to realise I was going down. The ship was falling back to helghan and there was no stopping and no escape. The chairmen stahlls flagship after all these years had fallen by the isa and the helghan pilots. I couldnt do anything at that point I couldnt escape and there was no point. slowly fire engulfed the hull and bridge as i watched from the captains chair. My life flashed showing everything my home my mother the life I had surviving all leading up to throwing it all away to do what was right by me and not a world i lived on. Coming back to reality the ground came up quickly and then darkness.

He was a hero and he gave his life to ensure the sake of me and you could be her at home and safe seeing this picture and then seeing you, you look so much like your father and you'll grow up making both of us proud because no matter what. He will always be with you my child your father will always watch over us.
