Siege of Cybe (Infinity War)

"The bloodiest battle we may yet see in this war..."

- Kai Ar'Lya just before the offensive.

The Siege of Cybe was a massive battle over the planet Cybe between the Federation of Free Planets and several member states of Dark Reach.

Prelude
Cybe, being a member of the Aradan Sectorate, joined Dark Reach just like the rest of the sectorate, while however unwillingly. Dark Reach immediately ordered the export of starships to the Federation to be blocked off. In response, Cybe Drives contacted the Federation about the issue. The Federation immediately prepared to launch an assault on Cybe. The Varino Imperium, one of the few remaining independent states, allied the Federation of Free Planets and prepared to join in the assault, importing ships from Cybe Drives themselves.

The Battle
The Federation of Free Planets prepared to liberate Cybe with their new found ally, the Varino Imperium, ordering all ships in the current fleets, led by Supreme Admiral Kai Ar'Lya, to prepare for the jump to. The Varino Imperium arrived first, immediately striking at the limited forces of the Aradan Sectorate. The Sectorate ships, while damaged considerably, returned fire upon the Varino ships, which outnumbered them heavily. The Sectorate immediately called for reinforcements from the nearby allies, being the, the Predecessors and Darth Cyrus. The Ascendancy arrived soon, in the form of Household Praetorian, led by Cevar.

The Varino Imperium was flanked by ships that approached from behind, however, soon after, the Federation of Free Planets forces arrived, which outnumbered the Chiss massively. The Chiss ships were commanded to turn around and engage the Federation ships, which seemed limitless, for the following minutes, many ships would continue leaving hyperspace over Cybe, scaring the Chiss and the Sectorate ships. Soon however, the highly-updated Predecessors arrived with ships never seen before, not even by the Chiss. Still in command, Crank Salueís led the ships in battle against the Federation and the Varino Imperium, even though largely outnumbered. Last to join the battle were Darth Cyrus' forces, being the largest of the Dark Reach members, while however still outnumbered.

Soon, the Federation engaged the much smaller Chiss fleet, mainly composed of Wraith-class light frigates. While weaker and smaller, the Chiss ships managed to inflict an notorious amount of damage to the Federation fleet, and while the fleet was soon destroyed, the Federation lost several ships only to the Chiss fleet. Moving on to fight over Cybe, they joined the Varino Imperium against the Sectorate. Likewise, the Predecessor ships and Cyrus' forces moved on to join the battle as well on side of the sectorate. A massive battle then escalated, with the Sectorate joined by a small remainder of the Chiss fleet behind the Federation and Varino ships. (Expand and explain...)
