Destruction of the Hosnian System

The **Destruction of the Hosnian System**, also known as the **Hosnian Cataclysm** is the name given to the attack performed by the Second Imperium and the Universal Union Reborn against a large Universal Union renegade group located in Universe 0:9's version of the Hosnian System. This attack marked the turning point in the Universal Union Civil War and revealed the power of the Second Imperium to the multiverse.

### Prelude: The Hosnian Campaign

Originally, the Hosnian system was going to be assaulted conventionally as at the time, word had not came from Exegol that the Sovereign-class Dreadnought was completed. Council Member Samuel Deven proposed assaulting with a fleet led by the Lusankya, Eclipse and Godsplitter, Council Member Shitara Kaeyuki proposed repeating the same tactic of long-range orbital bombardment they had employed against Reach many years ago, but this time with Victory III-class star destroyers and their superlasers. Initially Grand Admiral Taji Amatukaze suggested destroying key worlds in the system with Xyston-class Star Destroyers. However shortly before Taji had said his proposal, an update came from one of Exegol's many shpyards, stating that the *Sovereign* was completed.

### The *Sovereign* arrives

At approximately 12:32 PM, Local Solar Time; the *Sovereign* had exited hyperspace in a solar system 10 lightyears away from the Hosnian system with Shitara Kaeyuki, Samuel Edward Deven and Taji Amatukaze aboard. The Dreadnought was escorted by six Resurgent-class Star Destroyers and ten Tector-class cruisers. The fleet was attacked by an alarmed renegade patrol picket upon such a large vessel entering the system but this patrol picket was destroyed by this fleet rather quickly.

To counteract the sudden appearance of the Sovereign, a Compellor-class dreadnought started to undergo the preparations to meet the vessel head-on.

### Annihilation

*"For decades, our glorious Universal Union lay fractured, fighting amongst ourselves and undoing millennia of progress all due to the actions of a breakaway in our own Command... But that changes today. Today... Today we strike down one of the treacherous groups who dare defile our great Union. This magnificent vessel that we stand on now will bring the end of these renegades and reunite our forces. All remaining systems will **BOW** to the glory of the Universal Union!"* -Speech given by Grand Admiral Taji Amatukaze prior to the destruction of the Hosnian System

At 1:02 PM Local Solar Time; The Dark Energy Harvesters within the *Sovereign*'s Stellar Fusion Reactors activated. At this time the Compellor-class dreadnought had entered hyperspace and was en route towards the system the *Sovereign* was located in, unaware of the fact they were in the exact path the beam fired by the Quintessence Dark Energy Superlaser would travel through.

At 1:32 PM LST; The weapon fired. Phantom Energy ripped open a hole into sub-hyperspace of which the Quintessence beam travelled through. The Compellor-class that was in it's path was instantly destroyed the millisecond the beam hit it, effectively erasing the ship. When the beam entered the system, it split into five separate beams for the five targeted planets in the system. The core of Hosnian Prime after undergoing a Pocket-Nova temporarily became a star.

### Aftermath

*"...My God..."*

*"Wonderful, we can now finally end that A.R.C right in their home system."*

*"..it's beautiful"*

-Shitara Kaeyuki, Taji Amatukaze and Samuel Edward Deven in order

The two Council Members and the Grand Admiral aboard the bridge of the *Sovereign* all had different responses to seeing the sheer destructive power they had access to. Council Member Shitara Kaeyuki was horrified, she knew Taji was in the position to order the mass production of this class of Dreadnought, and that possibly as little as 200 could strip an entire galaxy of worlds. Grand Admiral Taji Amatukaze expressed that the Sovereign-class could be employed to end the Armored Response Coalition without even really trying. Council Member Samuel Deven echoed his words the first time he watched a reality gate open.
