I do not own any pictures and/or Media in this chapter/story, unless stated otherwise, and all credit goes to the original creators, whomever they may be. I do not own any of the involved franchises and all are copywrite under their respective owners/companies (Like Games Workshop for 40k, Xbox/Microsoft for Halo, etc.).
(Also, please note that Armaments and specifications for certain ships and other things are modified to fit the story and the 'New' Imperium)
(This chapter is heavily inspired by the TF2 meet the team cinematic)
(Do note that the personalities of the newer characters to the story/Those who are apart of Y/n's current fleet/Battlegroup will not be tailored to their TF2 counterparts, these are simply for comedic affect)
(Kansens with animate rigging/The riggings that can think and act on their own, like the shark heads of Iron blood or those Imperial Kansens with dragon riggings, will have segmented rigging to show what is where, so when they act on their own you don't imaging.)
(I will not be doing the entire meet the team script because it's hard to match the current fleet with the TF2 Merc's personalities, but only a little bit. That being said, I will do the best I can)
Also, if you haven't noticed yet, there are two branches of the main Ordos Millitant of the Imperium that have naval warships. These would be the IMC (Imperial Marine Corps), who's ships are geared more towards ground support and assault/invasion roles (They still kick ass though, especially the larger classes), and the Imperial Navy, which has the abbreviations IN and/Or HIM, meaning Imperial Navy and/or Holy Imperial Military respectively. HIM is mainly used on newer ships to accomodate the new naval organisational structure used within the 'New' Imperium. IN is mainly used on older ships, and is being phased out/painted over on most ships for the new HIM. Also, fleet admirals and ship captains or Kansens have started saying, and I (The author) quote, "I'm HIM." In situations where they are overly confident or absolutely demolish enemy ships. This saying is used more often among IMC ships, Kansens, and Crew, than it is on the more regal and reserved Imperial Navy Voidships. The Terrestrial Imperial Trans-Aeronautical Navy, simply abbreviated to TITAN by many, is a subdivision of the Imperial Navy, and has yet to adopt the slang term. They also use both HIM and TITAN as abbreviations for their loyalty markings .
MOST of this chapter uses modified TF2 meet the Team script, which I don not own nor created, and all credit, as per usual, goes to the original creators. I also will not include most of he music from the scripts due to chapter media limits, so you'll have to look them up.
Siren ship tiers (battleship, destroyer, cruiser, etc.) are referred to as different forms of chess pieces, but I will just refer to them as their tier or purpose for simplicity's sake.
Also I just now proofread this and am realizing all of the mistakes I made. Why does no one point these out?!

Iron-Will: Um . . . I don't even know where to start with you. I mean, do you even know who you're talkin' to?
[The Scene cuts to a High-classed Siren battleship, minding it's own buisness near a mission objective by an island about to take a bite out of a sandvich, Iron-Will pokes her on the head with her power-maul]
Iron-Will: Yo, what's up?

Meet the Cadian
HIM Cadia's Glory, Imperial Navy non-Astartes Cadia-class Light Battle-Barge (Smaller and less heavily armed than a "Heavy" battle barge like Y/n, but larger than a strike cruiser)(Rigging is the same as Y/n's, but with Imperial colors rather than those of the Knights Luminous, and less weapons. Also take away the superheavy weapons (Keep the Spinal mounts). The rigging also has two smaller dragons, the each slightly larger than Friedrich Der Große's, rather than Y/n's two enormous ones)

Slipspace/Warp Drive: Harkrax-Pattern Slipspace-Flake Drive/Standard Gellar Field (Slipspace flakes are "esoteric" pieces of a much larger crystal, which in and of itself is a shard cut from a slipspace "Core" or "Mother Crystal", it's what the Forrunner Slipspace drives are powered by, and is much more effective than other forms of slipspace).
Complement/Aircraft: 50 Squadrons of F-41 "Broadsword" Multirole fighters (8 per squadron), 30 Squadrons of GA-TL1 "Longsword" Multirole Heavy Fighters (4 Per Squadron), 20 Squadrons of Marauder Bombers (3 per Squadron), 30 Squadrons of "Thunderbolt" Air superiority fighters, and 200 Valkerie Gunships.

[Cut to a High classed Siren heavy cruiser firing a blast of flame from her Flamethrower. She thrusts her weapon in the air and laughs triumphantly as a rocket heads towards her from off screen].
HC: [Rocket hits blows up HC]
[Cut to High classed Siren Minelayer taking a drink, also getting blown up by a Krak Missile from off screen.]
[Cut to a High Classed Siren Battleship performing a taunt]
Heavy: [Explodes, presumably by a third Krak Missile]
["Meet the Cadian" text appears.]
[Cut to Cadia's Glory, drilling what appears to be a line of Whiteshields (Imperial guard Recruits/cadets).]
Cadia's Glory: "If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! The Emperor's Father said that, and I'd say he knows a little more [He pokes a recruits' helmet] about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor."
[Cut to Cadia's Glory holding his Shovel and screaming.]
[Cadia's Glory then charges the final mission objective at Iwo Jima with his Shotgun and kills a Siren minelayer, who fires at him but misses. He switches to his Krak-Missile Launcher and a Siren Fleet Tender appears behind him, firing syringes.]
Minelayer: To the left!
Cadia's Glory: Maggots!
[Cadia's Glory turns to the left and fires a Krak Missile at the Fleet tender, Killing her.]
Tanager: "Right up! Right up!"
Zolvstetia: "Go, go, go!"
[Cadia's Glory, Tanager and Zolvstetia charge into battle together, as explosions occur all around them.]
[Cut back to the Soldier's drill.]
Soldier: "Then, he used his fight money...
[Cadia's Glory unhooks two grenades from his belt, one in each hand.]
Cadia's Glory: ...to buy two of every animal on Terra, and then he herded them onto a Battle Barge. . .
[Cadia's Glory demonstrates by using the grenades, moving them in a walking motion.]
Cadia's Glory: . . .and then he beat the crap out of every single one."
[Cadia's Glory bangs the two grenades together repeatedly.]
[Cut back to battle scene.]
Iron Will: (Behind cover) "Sentry up there!"
[Cadia's Glory runs up to the Sentry gun and rocket jumps onto a destoryed Siren mass produced model's hull, both destroying the Sentry and killing the Light Cruiser in the process.]
[A HCS Battleship and Heavy Cruiser are holding the final mission objective. The battlehsip is laughing gleefully. Cadia's Glory jumps downward, firing a Krak Missile that lands just before he does. The explosion kills both the Battleship and Heavy Cruiser. HCS Submarine/Lurker uncloaks and attempts to backstab the Cadia's Glory, but the Cadia's Glory pulls out his Shovel, swiftly knocking out the Sub/Lurker with it.]
[Freeze frame]
[Cut back to the Cadia's Glory's drill]
Cadia's Glory: *Laughs to himself* "And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a 'zoo'!"
[Crickets chirp as the 'recruits' are revealed to be the decapitated heads of Siren fleet members perched on a gate, all wearing Cadian-pattern Imperial guard helmets. The Fleet Tender's head falls off the gate.]
[Beginning video plays]
Cadia's Glory: [To the Siren Fleet Tender's head] "Unless it's a farm!"

________________________________________________________________________________
[Meet the Battleships text appears]
[Zolvestetia and Tanager walk up to the camera and holster their weapons, and Zolvestetia puts her autocannon down. Tanager looks largely uninterested in the interview.)
Zolvestetia: I am Zolvestetia, Calamity class battleship.
Tanager: And I am Zolvestetia's more heavily armed sister, Tanager.
Zolvestetia: Being battleships, we are the heavy weapons specialists of the fleet . . . And this, *Grabs her Autocannon, Sasha* it my weapon. She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred throne (Imperial Currency, basically just silver and gold coins), custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. *Looks intently at the viewer/Balroth* It costs four hundred thousand thrones to fire this weapon . . . for twelve seconds. My sister Tanager has a Multi-Melta, custom crafted by a master Mechanicus artisian . . . it generates more power to shoot out of it's barrels once than entire non-Imperial generator plants do in a year!
Tanager: HAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHA *Sniffs*
Tanager: *Checks barrel of her Multi-Melta, "Inferno* Oh my god, who touched Inferno? Alright . . . Who touched my gun!?!?
Zolvestetia: Some people think they can outsmart us. Maybe, *Sniff* maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet. *Holds cartridge up to camera while the Autocannon revs up*

Meet the Roon
(HIM Roon, formerly KMS)
["Meet the Roon" text appears, then is burned away to reveal the feet of Roon, Fire Axe in hand, walking over a pair of glasses towards the camera and knocking a few empty shell cartridges aside.]
[Cut to a small room. Zolvestetia is seen almost completely in silhouette.]
Zolvestetia: "I fear no man but the Emperor. But that... thing... it scares me."
[Cut to a view behind Roon's right shoulder. A Siren Light cruiser shuts a door before a Siren destroyer can join her inside. The Destroyer pulls desperately on the handle, looking over to Roon, who looks at him menacingly. Cut again to the interview room. This time it is the Iron-Will in silhouette.]
Iron-Will: "No, I... I ain't, I ain't talking about that freak. All right?"
[Worried, she tries to detach the lavalier microphone from his shirt. She sits upright in her chair, in near panic.]
Iron-Will: "She's not here, is she?"
[Iron-Will continues to tug as she stands and walks toward the camera, knocking it over.]
Iron-Will: "How do I get this f***ing thing off?!"
[Cut to Siren Minelayer inside a room looking around worried. Roon, with her rigging ready, kicks down the door into the Siren's room and the Minelayer darts away to hide. Fade back to the interview room, this time with Pride of Thulum (Ultramarine light battle barge)*.*]
PoT: "One shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that face..."
[Cut to Roon firing her rigging, then to a wider shot, showing an entire wooden town in flames.]
PoT: "... What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?"
[Cut to a front view of Roon, zooming rapidly into the blackness of one of her Pupils. There is the sound of the Roon's breathing and a single white spot which zooms forward and splits into a binocular/two eyed view while a distorted baby laughter can be heard. When the spots focus, it shows a psychedelic dreamscape*.*]
[As Do You Believe In Magic? begins playing, the view from Roon's eyes shows colorful hills, lollipops, floating cats and quaint villages. The Roon's rigging appears in their hands as an unusually-shaped brass instrument and floating pet sharks*, spraying a rainbow-colored mist over ground, causing colorful flowers to spring from the lawn in front of them. Roon laughs. Within this dreamscape, High-Classed Sirens appear as chubby little cherubs and sound like babies.*]
[As a Siren Battleship appears and bounces on the ground, the Roon grabs a giant lollipop and cheers. The two converge seemingly happily. While Roon in the dreamscape shoves the lollipop in the Battleship's mouth, the scene cuts to the battle as Roon hits the Battleship with a Chain-axe.]
[A Siren destroyer appears, flying around and finally resting on Roon's instrument. The Roon blows bubbles in his face in their vision, but shoots the Destroyer point blank with her secondary guns in the battle, knocking him back.]
[In the dreamscape, a Siren Fleet-Tender appears out of a box, and Roon closes the box on her. In reality, Roon traps the Fleet Tender in a shed by barring the door with her axe.]
Fleet Teder: "No!"
[Roon bathes the shed and the Fleet Tender in flames, who can be heard screaming. While in the dreamscape, Roon continues to shoot streams of rainbow mist from her weapon. As Roon passes, the Balloonicorn appears, and the Siren Light Cruiser and Sub ride it. The Siren cherubs salute and celebrate Roon, and a Siren cherub Minelayer waves at the camera from close up. Cut back to reality.]
Minelayer: I'M BURNING!
[It is revealed that all of the Siren's fleet are being burned and killed. A Siren Cruiser is hit by a piece of the destroyed sentry of a Siren Light Cruiser*, who is shown flying off into the distance. A Destroyer flees and screams while a Siren* Recon Frigate crashes out of a second-story window to the ground. She crawls over to the ankle of a nearby person. The sound of an Ammo Depot and then a Siren teleporter being destroyed in the distance is heard.]
Light Cruiser: Depot down!
[The Siren Recon Frigate looks up, desperate.]
SRF: "Help!"
[The ankle belongs to Roon, who looks down and shoots with her rigging. The Recon Frigate can be heard screaming as the view zooms in on Roon's face, flames reflecting off her eyes as Roon tilts their head.]
[Ending title card appears and accompanying music plays]
[Cut back to the dreamscape, where the Roon happily walks away into the sunset. The view zooms out and passes through the burnt, gaping hole in the stomach of a Siren Cruiser. The view transitions back to reality as the Cruiser clutches her smoldering innards for a moment and then falls over with a stifled groan. Roon continues to walk away into the sunset, whistling to Do You Believe In Magic? as the town begins to collapse from the inferno, the streets littered with charred Siren corpses. Fade to black.]

In addition to this, all energy weapons on the ship (Pulse laser turrets, lance batteries, bombardment cannons [which are both kinetic and energy]) have their effectiveness increased over a thousandfold. Advanced power regulators and cogitator engines were installed on all ships of the class to keep them from accidentally causing collateral damage to friendly ships)
Maneuver drive: Mk. XXIV Luminous-Class Primordial Maneuvering System (9 Primary, 18 secondary)(Moves faster than an Imperial Corvette, and can be supercharged by reactor even further, at the cost of less maneuverability, being more of a cruising speed than for combat)
(The ship moves faster than a corvette)
Slipspace/Warp Drive: Mk. XXIV Luminous-Class Translight Engine/Luminous Field (Impervious to warpspawn), and a Lumenite Everglow-drive, which primarily utilizes a completely different subdimension than the Warp and Slipspace (Still has access to slipspace though)

Docking/massive hangar space for corvettes, both internal and on external drydocks
Sentinel Factories
A Composer (The thing in Halo that turns people and their souls into Prometheans, yeah, THAT. the same thing that composed an entire city in one go)
Fleet Command Facilities
Flagship Presence (The Imperium has more than one flagship for all of it's many fleets)(Imperial Flagships have a certain sense of dread about them, felt by non-Imperials. Sort of like Transhuman Dread that is felt by Imperial non-supersoldiers when in their presence)
Holy Ship (one of the Emperor's own ships/bodies. If anything happens to the sacred relic, the Ecclesiarchy will go NUTS.)
Experimental weapons platform/Extra Weapon Hardpoints (There are still weapons hardpoints without any weapons batteries on them, that may or may not be in use later. Can equip experimental weapons such as Melta-Lances, Void-Lances, Neutron-Pulse Cannons, Hard-Light desecrators, Trans-Warp Decimators, and other weapons)
Advanced Teleportarium Facilities (Can teleport troops directly to battle without the need for a beacon of any sort).
Trans-Light Beacon (Can summon help from other sub-dimensions, dimensions, or act as a sort of "Astronomicon" for incoming friendly ships)
Psychic Field/Minor Golden Throne (the captains chair, inspired by F/n's Golden throne, it channels Y/n's Raw, unyielding and passive psychic power and uses it to enhance the ship's systems and weaponry. This includes Shields)
Fleet Support Facilities (can act as a fleet tender/Repair Ship)
IFF Scrambler (Can Hijack Enemy Satellites and IFF signatures to make Stealth easier)
Cloaking Field (Cloaks the ship in a subspace bubble, making it unable to be seen, scanned on radar [Without proper equipment], or locked onto/targeted)(Cannot fire weapons while active)
Airtight/Water Facilities (Can fully submerge itself into water bodies without consequence. this is a feature present on all Imperial ships)
Warp-Space Access
Armaments:
Armaments are Sectionalized and as follows (Reminder, these calibers are for a 20km long ship designed to take out other ships of a similar tonnage)(Also, fair warning, I use both Metric and Imperial because for the larger Armaments in 40k, they are described in meters on the wiki and not inches or feet, which would be easier for me, and American, to use):
Main Rigging (Closest to the Silhouette of the person):
28 Pulse-laser ball-turrets (18"/38')(Point defense and Ship-to-ship Combat)
Two Vulcan Mega-Bolters (For point defense, atop each of the forward facing eagle-heads)(15"/20')
16 Multipurpose Forward-Mounted Torpedo Tubes (30'/300')
2 Superheavy Lance Batteries (4x 300m/2004m)
2 Ramming-Spur Talons
Right Battle Barge:
4 Spinal-mount Bombardment Cannons (500m/3km)
1 Frontal Light Bombardment Cannon Turret
3 Lance Batteries (4x 50m/300m)
14 Macro cannon Broadside (50m/75m)
Left Battle Barge:
4 Spinal-mount Bombardment Cannons (500m/3km)
2 Bombardment Cannon Turrets (2x 125m/750m)
10 Heavy Macro Cannon Broadsides (75m/100m)
(Both Battle Barges have extremely large frontal hangar bays).
Dragon Riggings (For Each head, meaning if I have two on one there is a total of four)
(Also, this is only for the visible portion of the Dragon-riggings. The rest of their bodies are too large to be carried normally and not be in the way. The rest of them are stored in a special pocket-dimension area of the Warp unique to them and similarly sized Imperial riggings. The Heads exit this through Warp-rifts that float near the back. They can, however, fully emerge and act on their own, separate from the rigging. For size reference, each Head's full body is four times larger than Friedrich Der Große's rigging, and there are two of them. Also, Friedrich has the largest rigging out of any Iron-blood Kansen)
3 Superheavy Bombardment Cannon Turrets (500m/3km) (essentially just the spinal mount size but on a turret)
12 Multipurpose torpedo tubes (30'/300')
32 Multipurpose Munitions Silos (The Blue dots, can fire Archer Missiles [1-2 Kiloton Yield], Plasma Torpedoes [Yield Varies depending on power used in each salvo], and Anti-Air/Escort Ship Swarmer Missile Cluster Munitions)(5m/30m)
8 Pulse-Laser Ball Turrets (18"/38')
A Retractable Nova Cannon
Melta-Breath
Two Ramming Prow Horns

[Y/n is sitting in front of a blue truck, strumming one of his guitars. The track "More Gun" plays.]
Y/m: Hey look, buddy. I'm an engineer, that means I solve problems.
[A shot rings out and a bullet hole appears next to the Y/n's head.]
Y/n: Not problems like "What is beauty?", 'cause that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
[Another two bullet holes appear, on the other side of the Engineer's head.]
Y/n: I solve practical problems!
[The shot zooms out to show an Imperial Automated Sentry Autocannon shooting offscreen while Y/n takes a long drink from his beer.]
Siren Battleship: AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
Y/n: For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean Mother-Hubbard from tearin' me a structurally superfluous new behind? [A Rampart Point Defense Turret Turns around and shoots a Siren Recon Frigate who was trying to creep up on Y/n from behind.]
Y/n: The answer? Use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun.
[Another Automated Coilgun fired a salvo of shells, blowing up someone offscreen.]
Someone, probably a Siren Destroyer: MY AAAARRRMMMM!!!!!
[A blown-off hand lands at Y/n's feet, resembling that of the Siren Recon Frigate judging from the glove,]
Y/n: Like this, heavy-caliber Hardpoint/Turret-mounted little-old-number designed by me.
[Y/n kicks the hand off-screen as a Rampart Point Defense Turret blows it apart]
Y/n: Built, by me.
[A Rampart PDG shoots offscreen]
Y/n: And you best hope...
[Y/n's expression darkens, and he grimaces as he stares right at the camera]
Y/n: Not pointed at you.
[The shot slowly zooms out, showing the massacre ensuing around Y/n, while an electric guitar begins to replace the melody of "More Gun"]

I hope Y'all Enjoyed the Chapter! Sorry about the long wait, school has been a hassle. Pt. 2 should be out in two weeks maybe? depending on how much homework I have anyways. The actual Story will resume soon, but these are just introductory chapters leading into the next Sub-Arc. Word of warning, the next Sub-Arc will be as delirious and chaotic as I can possibly make it. Not to mention it will delve deeper into Y/n's character, which I haven't really touched on much despite using him as the main Protagonist. Welp, see y'all next time! Cya!
