Alright guys, I've decided to throw in my talent in writing for you all. I'm going to be writing a Forerunner Conflict story. It will take place during the Reach wars, and will eventually expand into a wider galactic conflict.
Here's the plot:
The REDD is fighting a losing war. Daily, there are colonies lost to the Brotherhood, and daily the Empire loses more and more good men. There is no stopping the Brotherhood. They have legions of enhanced super soldiers, the Spartans. While the REDD have their own super soldiers left over from the Human-Covenant war, they are simply outnumbered and outclassed by the more advanced versions of MJOLNIR that the Brotherhood has built. Many REDD Spartans remember what it was like to fight the Covenant, and they can no longer tell the difference between the Covenant tactics and that of the Brotherhood. Whenever an Imperial planet is lost, it is burned. The population is scattered to Brotherhood worlds to work in camps to fuel their war machine.
However, neither side is without corruption. The Emperor of the Empire is a man of darkness, who pushes the REDD beyond its capability. He lies to the population, and rounds up whole groups of people to fuel his own war effort. The Empire is corrupting from the inside out. Nevertheless, the war must go on.
The REDD and BLUE fight night and day on the planet Reach. For many, this planet will signify a new age in humanity's evolution, as a jumping point for repopulating the galaxy. Each side has their own SPARTAN army, equipped with the standard Mark IV armor. However, there is a secret war that is waged... A new level of fighting that neither side acknowledges, but both supports.
There is a new breed of warrior born on the battlefields of this "Forerunner Conflict"
Deep beneath Reach, something has been discovered... New technologies of war long forgotten, but soon harvested. The best SPARTAN soldiers, members of "kill squads" are being recruited for a new combat program. There is an arms race between both nations, which will decide the future of the war. If the Empire can create enough super-suits with the aid of Forerunner technology, they can topple the Brotherhood leadership and end their war effort. If the Brotherhood creates a better suit, then the final defeat of the Empire will be assured. Millions of lives hang in the balance, whole governments will be challenged, and the final battle may come down to just a few good men.
Elements of my story:
Suits that include special abilities, so that they are beyond that of an ordinary MJOLNIR suit.
Soldiers who are trained beyond that of a typical soldier
REDD Perspective first, though that may change as the story goes on.
Leaders who are corrupt, on both sides.
A web of deception that the soldiers must unearth if they are to finish the war.
