THE H'VOS WAR MOVIE

PRELIMINARY SCRIPT DRAFT

SHOK TEENIK PUBLICATIONS 2008

=== INTRODUCTION ===

EXT. SPACE. -- A planet slowly drifts into view.
Serene and tranquil, with lush greens,
yellow fields, and blue oceans. All
done in CGI

SUBTITLES flash on screen:

ZEERDAN IV

GIGERDI FEDERATION AGRICULTURAL COLONY

POPULATION: 100 000

FLASHES are seen in the vicinity
of the planet. The music turns
threatening.

The flashes indicate a H'VOS ATTACK FLEET
has just entered the planet's vicinity.

EXT. SPACE - CLOSEUP: H'VOS ATTACK FLEET (CGI)

Flying past the camera at a menacing velocity.

INT. H'VOS BATTLESHIP - BRIDGE - FRONTAL OVERVIEW: ( GREEN SCREEN )

We see the bridge of the H'vos Battleship; a large group
of the H'vos, horse like aliens, are seen working consoles,
pressing buttons with their giant hooves, and NEIGHING with
malignant glee.

The bridge is reminiscent of an Imperial Star Destroyer,
metallic surfaces, angular shapes, utilitarian 1940's
aircraft carrier type design.

CLOSEUP: H'VOS CAPTAIN.

The camera closes on the unnatural face of this force commander.
The dead horse eyes of this equestrine conqueror of worlds
glitter with dark, knowing intent. He exhales loudly out of his
large dark nostrils.

The HOOVES on his legs are seen scratching the floor of the
metallic starship.

CLOSEUP: A BUTTON on the console.

The H'vos Commander mashes the button with his hooved arm. It
is depressed with an audible clank or a beep.

QUICK CUT: FRONTAL OVERVIEW, H'VOS BRIDGE

The H'vos all NEIGH together, preparing for assault.

EXT. SPACE - H'VOS ATTACK FLEET (CGI)

The fleet plunges from low orbit of ZEERDAN IV to the atmosphere.
One by one the starships are seen leaving orbit and plunging in
like fighter jets engaging a formation maneuver.

EXT. PLANET SURFACE - ZEERDAN IV ( CGI )

They starships are seen slowing down and assuming attack positions
over key defense installations. Tiny figures are seen on the ground;
civilians running for cover.

EXT. PLANET SURCACE - CLOSEUP ( GREENSCREEN )

One of the humanoids looks up to the sky in horror. It looks human
but has GREEN SKIN and THREE EYES; it is a GIGERDIAN.

EXT. PLANET SURFACE ( CGI )

A clearly recognizable large structure is seen on the ground. The
starship hovers over it and STOPS in the air.

EXT. H'VOS BATTLESHIP - CLOSEUP ( CGI )

The GUN PORTS of the starship open. A large PARTICLE CANNON is
extended and quickly finds a target down below with an audible
MECHANICAL WHIRR.

INT. H'VOS BATTLESHIP - QUICK CUT, CLOSEUP:

a HOOF presses on another BUTTON on a console.

A CHARGING UP sound can be heard, continued into the next cut.

EXT. PLANET SURFACE / H'VOS BATTLESHIP

The battleship unleashes its destructive fury on the compound
below. An ultrabright beam of light shoots from the vessel
and instantly connects with the ground base with a loud LASER
SOUND EFFECT. In just a second the compound EXPLODES VIOLENTLY
and the beam is shut down. It is an INSTANT VICTORY for the
invading aliens.

INT. H'VOS BATTLESHIP - BRIDGE OVERVIEW ( GREENSCREEN )

More NEIGHING, this time a sound of victory celebration.

INT. H'VOS BATTLESHIP - COMMANDER CLOSEUP

The Commander of the Invasion Fleet is seen giving an order
in the horselike language of the H'Vos. Their speech is
SUBTITLED on the screen.

COMMANDER

Begin landing procedure! Prepare the occupation force!

BRIDGE CREWMEMBER

Affirmative, my lord!

The camera ZOOMS in on the face of the Commander again.

COMMANDER

This is only the beginning.

=== OPENING CREDITS ===

[edit]Background
The H'vos were able to construct a medium-sized Starfleet with the resources and

technology gained from their earlier conquests. After the former conquests had been

sucked dry of any usable resources or material the H’vos left these worlds and started

to plan for another invasion. This invasion took place almost exactly 70 years after the

initial conquests of the two peaceful but more advanced civilizations. This time the

target of the invasion was a small system located at the outskirts of the territory that

the H’vos considered as their territory. A small portion of the invasion fleet was sent,

along with big transport ships to claim the system as H’vos territory. This system known

to the H’vos as “Hjumma” was a newly established outpost of the Gigerdians to the new

rim colonies. The Gigerdian name for the system was Zeerdan IV. As the H’vos discovered

the system to be actually populated by green humanoids with very little defences and

only agricultural installations the invasion was initiated at once. Large warships

landed on the small colony and H’vos infantry poured out from them while the other

warships bombarded the outposts from orbit. The destruction was total; what little was

left in terms of Gigerdian population were taken prisoners to the large transport ships

and lifted away to the orbit.

[edit]Reaction
A few days later the Gigerdians uncovered the attack to their colony. The government of

that time had received reports of unknown craft patrolling around the borders of the

Zeerdan IV colony and therefore decided to double patrols on the border zones. The

Gigerdians were certain from the start that the attack and the almost total destruction

of their colony was in no way a mistake but an intended result. The abduction of the

colonists also puzzled the Gigerdian government.

A few days later a small patrol of Gigerdian craft made their first contact with the

H’vos in the form of a transport ship with fighter-craft escorts. The Gigerdians

destroyed the transport-ship. The H’vos were quite horrified at first to see organized

resistance aimed against their fleets. They were also puzzled to learn of another

space-faring race with almost similar capabilities in weapons as they themselves did.

The H’vos, despite a rather negative first result, decided to continue their invasion of

another world located near Zeerdan IV. The H’vos certainly caught the still developing

colony and its defences by surprise but once Gigerdian capital ships arrived to support

the defences the H’vos were forced to retreat. The H’vos War as it is known to the

Gigerdians begun.

[edit]Subsequent events
After the failed attack the H’vos attacked five other colonies. The Gigerdian resistance

was heavy but the H’vos used hit-and-run tactics to abduct more civilian colonists into

their transports and then flew them away from the surface of the planet. The war was

fought in space as well as on the ground. The Gigerdians also have historical documents

pointing to an orbital station of some sort that the H’vos had managed to construct to a

system that would have fallen to the H’vos side of the border. A team of Gigerdian

Special Forces destroyed this station known as the H’vos Star. No other information

concerning this specific mission is available however.

After several weeks of heavy fighting the H’vos became confident that the invasion –

phase of their grand campaign was over. They could not destroy the Gigerdian defences

despite causing heavy casualties to their enemy. What made the matters worse was that

some Gigerdian fighter-craft had been able to follow the fleeing H’vos fleets back to

their own systems. The Gigerdians had also uncovered information concerning the

leadership of the H’vos campaign thus being aware that a Moff Hevos was in command of

the operation. Very little is known about Moff Hevos besides that he was the sole leader

of his people. He was also a scientist and had personally designed his flagship cruiser,

known as the Horse Shoe due to it’s physical resemblance to human “footwear” meant for

horses. It is speculated that Moff Hevos continued the tradition of warrior kings that

led their troops in battle personally instead of appointing generals or admirals to do

the decision-making in war for them. Also, the reason for the abduction of the Gigerdian

colonists have been researched and studied. The consensus among the historical

researchers has been that the H’vos simply wanted a bigger supply of labour to their

industrial facilities and therefore one of the main objectives of the invasion of the

Gigerdian colonies had been to acquire more manpower to the same sectors of the industry

that were at the forefront of the H’vos economy.

The Gigerdian fleets came for the H’vos invaders soon after the H’vos had been pushed

out of the five systems they had tried to conquer. A large battle between fleets

commenced. At battle’s end the Horseshoe was destroyed with Moff Hevos at its helm. All

of the H’vos ships that took part in this battle were destroyed. The Gigerdian side

called the war over since there were no further attacks against colonies or ships

afterwards. It is unknown what happened to the H’vos home world. Perhaps a revolution

begun with the intent of changing the government, or the H’vos annihilated itself due to

one reason or another. Some wild speculations have been aimed at the Bacterians who

could have even destroyed the relatively small civilization after the H’vos war. However

all of these are speculations, therefore the true reasons will almost certainly remain

shrouded in mystery.
