THE BATTLE FOR EARTH: EPISODE 1

cue beginning OST

Watcher Theta prepares for a naval raid jump with now-TFNS Musashi, departing from the western coast of Snowstone.

---

Following the sinking of Arbiter Siren Omitter, global Hive Siren operations came screeching to a pause. The loss of an elite Siren battleship to mankind and their rogue kin forced them to revise their invasion plans, disrupting their conquest to assimilate the world into the their twisted family.

For two months, Earth had found itself in a rather unsettling lull in combat. Though the peace granted them much respite from the devastating losses suffered, humanity did not pass up the chance to quickly reinforce weakened allies and develop defensive strategies for what they knew was the beginning of the REAL war.

Watcher Lambda lays anchor off the coast of Shrimp Island, deploying her Marauder fighters to conduct pop up raids and defensive interception.

---

During those two months, the Watcher Sisters engaged Hive Siren positions across the globe to disrupt and deny their efforts of establishing planetary bases. Every moment a Hive engineering fleet would land and start construction, any one of the Watchers would jump out of hyperspace and begin hammering their positions into obliteration. Not willing to risk another elite being sunk by the rogue Sirens, the Hive sent much of their light and medium construction fleets without high level protection.

With the raids thinning out Hive Siren presence, it would seemingly appear that the war was over with Omitter's death. Unknown to the defenders, a large Hive fleet is amassing in High Earth Orbit, preparing for a full-scale invasion of the planet. It wasn't until the near end of the lull in battles when Watcher Lambda had detected large numbers of signatures from space when a gap opened in the armada's stealth cover.

The Sisters would soon be at the forefront of the Earth's defense once more, and with them, mankind's finest. Sailors, soldiers, and pilots from all across the world would answer to the call to arms yet again.

Now play me

An Su-33 launches from the TFNS Tsuchii Yuusha for a strike interception against an inbound Buster Siren swarm. Having no nation to serve since the dissolution of the Monarchii, the Tsuchii Yuusha was taken in by the Tactical Forces Navy, and was re-designated as part of the branch during the Siren War.

---

On the 26th of May, 20XX, The Hive Fleet began their renewed attacks on the planet, seeking yet again to squash all human resistance for their conquest of assimilation. Once more, the Watcher Sisters would scramble to respond. From the frigid waves of the Arctic Circle to the summer spray of the Pacific, the Rogue Sirens would conduct hit and run strikes both offensively and defensively; ensuring that the Hive would be denied a stronghold upon the planet as they tried and failed to do so in Snowstone.

Arrowhead fighters of Skypark scream ahead to battle a Siren fighter squadron over the English Channel.

D-15 Marauders pass over the United States Navy supercarrier "Stars and Stripes" in the Red Sea, on mission to attack a Hive Siren FOB site in the Arabian Peninsula.

Zanitsvan and Gilead jets fly together on a bombing mission against a partially complete Hive Siren offshore stronghold south of Hong Kong, with the advanced battleship HuaQing of the Celestial Navy providing long range bombardment.

As the battles resume, The United Nations convened with Lambda, who was recognized as the Head of the Rebel Sirens after Theta ceded authority to her to focus more on frontline combat.

The benevolent Mothership of the Watchers first proposed the construction of Siren shield generator towers across the globe, prioritizing defense first over offense, as this strategy would allow more time for humanity and the Rebels to regroup and cooperate, thus making way for the improvement of offensive capabilities in relative security.

Many of such towers span across the hidden Siren world of Nohatania, where the Watcher Sisters were born. Due to the sheer size of the planet, multiple towers had to be erected to allow it's beam shield to fully envelop the world and provide adequate protection. But since Earth is far smaller than Nohatania, fewer towers are needed to be constructed for the same effect.

Though effective, the building of said towers needed time, materials, and logistics to be made possible. It's materials are of most concern as the raw ore and power cores needed to build and activate them are located in far regions of the galaxy, which Lambda needs to contact other Rebel Sirens to fetch and transit to Earth, as her and the other sisters are preoccupied in pushing the invasion back.

Nevertheless, the UN council approved of the proposal, and gave the rebellion leader the green light to call for aid across the Milky Way, welcoming the prospect of more allied Siren forces to arrive on Earth to counter the Hive.

Watcher Gamma rampages across the Baltic Sea, grabbing the attention of attacking Hive Siren forces to direct their strikes away from the surrounding nations.

---

With Lambda's distress signal broadcasted for potential allies to hear and answer, it would only be a matter of time before the war for Earth further escalates, and the unity of mankind against an enemy beyond their skies will be tested.
