OOC: Note - This is more or less 60% of all of Protoss' small, expendable ships, and 25% of their mid-ranged to capital ships.

The Holy Offensive

With such high stakes on the line, high security was apparent throughout all of the nations that resided in Earth. Warp disruptors activated, defenses were optimized and readied, and entire fleets mobilized, ready to respond to the inevitable Protoss assault.

However, little knew that today would be the birthright of the greatest offensive ever committed by the Protoss - in the name of god.

Beforehand, a message was sent to all nations with active hostility against the Protoss:

"In the name of god, the Protoss have been sent to purify all of those who defy the Xel'Naga's will. Today will be no different, as the civilization...will collapse and burn in flames. For dreams fade away and all hope will turn to dust. For millions will be cleansed.

Several microseconds after the final word was read out, thousands upon thousands of small, but expendable ships arrived and started to fire their lasers throughout all of the major nations. However, joining them were several Siege Cruisers which, with their bombardment lasers, annihilated entire blocks of cities throughout every major city in the world. Tomsnovsk, Neviston, New Carthage, Augustgrad, Berlin, Arcadia, Moscow, New York, as well as other major metropolitan areas were hit as entire sections of cities were struck by superheated waves of energy.

As many as 30 thousand Ornithopters and Lancethopters descended down to the surface, eradicating any life that they can find before they are annihilated. As many as half of that number was not expected to survive the initial descent as defenses flared up - shooting many of them down.

Several drop-pods containing biological lifeforms were sent town to the surface en masse, and those that successfully landed sent out deadly pathogens, and mutated creatures. The unfortunate civilians caught in the crossfire stood no chance - and those who have been infected died within several minutes.

One anomaly was the lack of any ANF targets. The Protoss purposely avoided the continent in hopes that any Aneph forces will delay their counterattacks - giving more time for the Protoss to deal damage.

Some Protoss ships sent out false warp signatures and decoys, making the force of almost thirty-thousand seem as if it contained a number almost 5 times that amount. It also served the purpose of confusing targeting systems in future responding ships. The colossal number of decoys dropped will also ensure havoc upon patrols long after the attack has commenced.

Most of the Protoss vessels were condemned to die - Afterall, none of the major capital ships were present- it was only a matter of time before reinforcing fleets were to come in. However, with such widespread devastation, and with the sheer amount of vessels involved, it will take a long time to finally destroy the last Protoss vessel present. In the meanwhile, turbo-lasers and bombardment vessels continued their attack. Casualties mounted up, turning from thousands to millions dead...

AIF Base at Telelapis, Epsilon Octanus System

As the powers are distracted over the bombardment of Earth, a massive formation of Protoss vessels materialized and formed as they dropped out of warp - far beyond the range in which they can be shunted. Greeting the base were 2 Spear of Aduns, as well as their corresponding Zeniths, Viscounts, Dreadnaughts and Forboding Nightmares. Trailing them were scores of Swords of Karass, Tempests, and other mid-ranged ships. Together, they unleashed the wrath of god on the fortifications, roasting and turning the sinners into nothing but burnt ash.

In another section of Telelapis, however, Protoss ships slowly settled down unoccupied vents, and began setting up mining operations in the pillars - with the goal to create a forward base, a safe haven and a fallback point in case Auir was to fall to enemy rule.

Today was the day of reckoning. Today was the final assault conducted by the Protoss...

...But as hundreds of millions lay dead, exterminated by subsequent turbolaser blasts, they will not need another assault.

They were chosen by heaven Say their name when you pray To the skies See the Protoss rise
