In a flash of white light, the second Bulk Freighter hypers into the Nexus system, it's engines from a scrapped Argosy (see previous posts) glowing bright yellow and ticking oer quite nicely.
Again, 700,000 gallons of slush fuel deuterium.

Astex is dead.
The corporate system immediately collapsed when the company was found to have ties with attempted attacks on nonhostile systems by its shareholders. The Confederacy reclaimed the Antares system.
Before Confederate ships arrived in the system, Antares Station was burning away into space, its guns silenced forever, and New Providence had been plundered, its granaries looted and its warehouses emptied. The pilots of th rebelling ships, frigheters and frigates, fighters and shuttlecraft, had made their peace and the newly formed Antares Pact began its exodus to the NGC-1776.
Liberty Station surrendered without a fight once it learned of the demise of Astex, and the new government had a system and a base. What it did'nt have was an economy, any form of organisation, allies, or a source for food and other neccesities.
Yet.

OOC: Is anyone in charge of Lethe?
-----------
Construction continue on a very capeable fleet of Escape fighters.
First test commencing.
New Cydonia marked a bulk freighter as 'Marked to distroy' so not to piss any one off. The fleet of Escape fighters named 'Republic fleet' enters a near by uninhabited system. they see the bulk freighter. a quick sensor sweep concludes that it has upgraded sheilds and armor. the Reppublic fleet closes in. Laser shots fire from the bridge of the Escapes, ripping the bulk Freighter to bits.
Second test.
The fleet moves into Lethe. a group of Lethe warships are waiting for them. They do their sensor sweep and then procede to rip the warships to scrap metal. A few lazer shots rip 3 Agrosys engen section to bits blowing up the rest. 2 corvetts close in and get shredded. They then head back to base.

Combat test 3
The fleet trys ot the omega pattern. they fly together so it looks like a bigger ship. he sends out a corvette to look at them in radar. he reports back that they look like a Confed cruiser. they head to Lethe to try to get tribute.
Lethe
The fleet aided by a nther fleet of only corvettes. at the sight of them the planet sent out their defence fleet. 4 corvetes come out and imedatly get turned into scrap. another wave comeout and get bombarded by the corvettes. after a few minutes the Lethe defence is gone, as well as a few Escapes. Lethe surenders and the remaining ships bombard the foot solders.

Were sorry, but were not interested in trading two Kestrel C heavy frigates for the designs for your modified lightning fighter. The corporation has reviewed their combat performance and technical abilities, have determined that they lack sufficient firepower to serve as a general support fighter or in BARCAP patrols.
However, if you wish to purchase the Kestrel Cs, you may do so for one million off each of their stock prices (because you placed the first order), thus you could buy a pair for merely fourteen million.

After a quick stop the fleet enters the Sirgil system and trys to take the defence fleet on. they send out all their defence fleet. A 10 distroyers get a hole through their bridge. the other 40 get utterly distroyed but not before takeing down 8 Escape fighters. one fleet starts bombarding the other distroyers with hit and run attacks. one group flys right above and below them fireing then they pull away and a nother comes from the vapor trail of the others. by doing this after an hour they lose 20 but the defence loses 700 distroyers. its 300 distroyers aganst 50 Escape fighters. the fighters start attacking the distroyers. While they are doing that yet another fleet pops in and helps in the mayhem.
