Pax System - Disabled Coalition Frieghter

All was quiet aboard the disabled frieghter, the only movement being the occassional twitching of bodies or the silent, slow, but precise movements of the slugs which infested the ship.

Suddenly, the main hatch sparked and blew open. The white-hot edges of the now vaporized hatch sizzled and gave off smoke, but quickly cooled. Then the Coalition marines began the boarding proceedure. The first three that entered were scouts, and then signalled to the rest that the coast was clear.

Immediately a dozen or more marines boarded the vessel, searching the whole ship. They found the crew all dead, with bloor pouring out of the sides of their heads or their ears, accumulating into gooey pools of red blood.

"What the heck went on here?" the commander muttered as he surveyed the carnage.

"I don't know sir, but once more, what on earth caused all these weird slime trails?" the lieutenat responded. "What are they anyway?"

"I don't know sir. Haven't really seen anything like it, but I can tell it's organic, and it's DNA doesn't isn't on the record," responded another soldier.

Suddenly, one of the bodies began to move a little, and the chest suddenly exploded. As the other soldiers watched, six large slugs crawled out. They were all covered in a purple membrane, which broke, allowing them to move around, and their flesh was incredibly slimey (and bloody) and was colored a sort of greenish-yellow.

Suddenly, what sounded like metal being bent or torn apart came to the ears of the soldiers. Something was onboard the ship... Somewhere...

--------------

Igadzra System

The four Predators slowly closed in on the scout, then opened fire without warning. The scouts shields were blasted away, and its hull was soon turned to a few stray carbonized atoms.

Once the task was completed, the Valhalla set off for Dirach...

And the battle, again
A fleet in Octivara and one in Sulthus both jump into hyperspace to Riden.

The fleet from Octivara came first, and started to pound the ships in the system. After they were pretty well noticed, they cloaked and waited for about an hour, then uncloaked and killed everything else in the system. They then cloaked and waited for the Sulthus fleet and the Riden defence fleet to come.

As Espilot and Z'tar were discussing his plans with the researchers and how it might actually be done, an ensign entered the room. "Admiral sir, we have a message from a government called the Coalition of Worlds. Our only records on them say that they are—" "An alliance of the two governments known as the United Earth and the Voinian Empire. I happen to keep my own records, which includes everything in our main database. Unlike most other officers. Play the message, please." The ensign did so. "Dismissed." The ensign then left the room. "If you will excuse me, I will send a reply. It says the message was specifically for me and me only."

I have gone over your idea of how to strike the Azdgari, and it does seem it would work quite well. However, I received this message while in the middle of a crucial meeting to discuss a modification of our hyperspace inhibitors. As you may know, they automatically cut off any ships from using a particular hyperspace link, friend or foe. The meeting I speak of is directed towards fixing this; we are trying to figure out how to modify the inhibitors so that certain ships can get through and certain ships don't.

—Espilot

P.S. If you will look up some United Earth records from about thirty-one or two years ago, you will find that there was an espionage agent under payroll of the United Earth government by the name of Espilot, ship name Wraith's Shadow. So, don't doubt my ability to get along with humans
<Message End>

"Now, back to business. Kenel, I believe you have something to say on this?" "Yes, Admiral. We have determined that the engine structures and hyperdrives used by different races give off unique types of subspace particles, i.e., the Azdgari Empire's ships give off a totally different hyperspace signals from our own ships when entering and leaving subspace. This is merely theoretical, but when and if we attain Azdgari blueprints from our Dark Angel friends, we will be able to see if it's true or not. And if it is true, we could program the inhibitors to detect certain kinds of hyperspace signals, and block whatever caused it if it tries to enter our space, but set it to detect a different kind of hyperspace signal, and let it through the subspace link. Thus, enemies stay out, while ourselves and our allies can traffic freely in and out of our territory." Throughout Kenel's presentation the other researchers were constantly nodding, and were carried away even after Kenel was done. "Excellent! Well, you certainly didn't become head of R&D; for nothing." "Thank you Admiral." "Now, you are dismissed. I must discuss something with the good Vice Admiral." He handed a copy of Jeynek's plans to Z'tar. "The modifications to our inhibitors should go nicely with these plans. Tell me, when will your new weapon projects be done?" "Quite soon, actually." "Good, good. I've been thinking....we need a new kind of warship." "Sir?" "The Zidaras are good, but they would be better as support ships for a main warship, I think. And the carriers aren't exactly perfect for combat. And now, the Azdgari have two new warships; their light cruisers and the Predators. Our Zidaras wouldn't be much of a match. We need something with modest speed and maneuverability, but serious firepower and good shielding. The new weapons will help, yes, but we simply need a better ship." "I agree, sir." "So, let's get cracking..."

OOC: Again, GRRR! Esponer, Carno just used a team of marines and their commander. Are they really that crucial? Also, grundy, give U.E. Admiral some time. Patience is a virtue. Also, I thought that one-post battles weren't allowed. The aggressor has to post a reasonable beginning to the battle, and give the player commanding the opposing side time to respond. And you'd think that the Coalition forces would know that the Confed ships had cloaks and would anticipate their using them. Thank you, and have a nice evening.

A Dark Angel Arada discreetly moved through Azdgari space. As the Azdgari did not yet know anything about the Dark Angel's alliance with the Zidagar, it remained unchallenged; and it quietly scanned the hyperdrives of Azdgari ships, before returning to Angel's Lair.

MOD: Sorry ESPilot, but your upgrade to the hyperspace inhibitors is revoked. To my knowledge, the hyperspace inhibitors work on the basis of creating large sub-space disruptions in the hyperlink, causing any ship going through it to be torn apart by the intense sub-spacial stresses caused by the distortions. There is no real way to allow your ships to go through the links while enemies cannot, unless you used a totally different form of space travel, which would take ages to research.

Grundy, sorry, but I very much doubt Nebula gases would energize your shields. All a nebula is is really just planetary debris and lots of ordinary gases. You could, theoretically, harvest the large amounts of ions in the nebula to turn into fuel. You also don't know that the Renegades even have a base in F-25, so it would take a while to find it.

Thanks for your time.

(Dont worry, this isn't too strong. It does damage only under extremely heavy fire, and that thirty percent damage that goes through.. will take holes in the armor after about 250 damage.)

"Attarr weaponry decimated three of our systems, and several Coalition fleets have been destroyed!"

Suddenly, 12 coalition dreadnoughts jump in, and opens fire on the Azdgari, ominous to the Attarr.
"Without a navy, there's nothing to defend us... God help us.."
The fleets move in, and every crew member is silent as a massive wall of Coalition fire speeds toward the station..
As the weaponry hits the station, the shields go down, and the station begins to disentigrate. As the commanding room catches fire with immense heat, Redch'igh watches his own flesh begin to melt.. As the pain hits him, he passes out to eternal sleep..

Espilot and Z'tar were on their way towards Terapin. Once they entered Terapin, they would open the jump link to Gadzair, and go to the Angel's Lair to meet with the Seraphim. The two Zidaras were on board the fleet's main command ship, a hyperspace carrier named the Z.S.S. Steel Roost. The carrier entered the Terapin system, and Espilot noticed something; the foreign scout was still there. He decided to send a message himself.

<Message to Attar Scout>
<From ZIdigar Admiral Espilot>
<Private Channel>
Greetings. I am Admiral Espilot, and speak on behalf of all Zidigar as their leader; we are willing to welcome as allies, providing we receive a sign of your trust. We realize that our inhibitors, meant to keep all ships outside our space, are nothing to your craft. When the Azdgari Empire united with the Igadzra, we secluded ourselves from all other races, in fear of attack. But now, we plan to strike back at the Azdgari, with the help of a new ally. Any assistance you could grant, military or otherwise, would be much appreciated. We have few remaining records of anything outside our own territory, and do not know of any nebulae other than the Ji nebula to the far northwest. I believe there are inhabitants there. That is all for now. I wish you success on your quest for knowledge.

—Espilot
<Message End>

"Is the link open?" "We have an affirmative, sir." "Good. Lieutenant, enter the Gadzair system, but only emerge long enough to deploy our ZIdaras. After that, you may return to the Terapin system and standby for orders." "Yessir Admiral!" The Carrier entered the Gadzair system, and the Zidaras were quickly launched. It then immediately went back to Terapin. The two Zidaras, the Z.S.S. Mangudai and the Z.S.S. Spirit, made their way to the Angel's Lair. DA fighters began buzzing around them, and then went about their patrols. "Engage an open channel with the Angel's Lair. Tell them that Espilot and several researchers have arrived." "Yessir." I'm getting very tired of that. thought Espilot.

F-25

The Confederacy, however, had made the mistake of consontrating on the planet. It was true that the Renegades had a base there, but their primary base was the massive station orbiting F-25.

It's name was Asgard ; a colassal station, Asgard was five times the size of any standard station, was bristling with every kind of Renegade weapon imaginable, and had a rather large escort fleet docked. This huge battlestation had been built up over the last 20 years, slowly, bit by bit, most of it salvaged from derelict vessels or stations.

From the insanely well shielded command center on Asgard, the Renegade leader Lans Chimera grinned evily as the Confeds offloaded their weapons onto the Renegades, doing some moderate damage. "Strike Pattern Dragon; now!" he ordered.

As the Confederate fleet let off their huge streams of weapons fire, the Renegades simply tried to evade. They knew they wouldn't be able to counterattack until the Confederates cloaked.

Once the enemy fleet did cloak, the Renegades went to work. In nebulas, cloaks were almost useless. The gases moved around them, creating vortexes which could be detected. Not to mention the millions of ionsand other energy particles bouncing off the ship after being spewed out by the newborn stars in the nebula. The Renegades were hoping the Confederates didn't know that... at least not yet.

The Renegade vessels were launched from Asgard and the planet, and they immediately streamed towards the Confederate fleet. They were visible on the sensor screens, and an easy target.

The Renegade fighters made the first pass, strafing the Confeds, their guns blazing. The Confederate formation was thrown into dissarray as the second wave hit. This one was composed of Aradas and Laziras, and did even more damage. Many Confederate cloaks were knocked off line and failed completely.

"Good.... hehe.... gooood...." Lans said evily, half to himself. "Warship wing, move ahead for the primary strike! Laziras, stand back. Fighters and Aradas; plow through them!"

While the fighters turned around for another pass along with the aradas, the Laziras backed off and fired at the Confederates from afar. While they were doing that, the Crescent Warships and even a few Turncoats charged the Confederates, their own weapons raining down death.

The Renegades had taken some bad losses, but the Confeds were obviously getting the worst of it.... at least for now...
