You are trying to trick us into surrender. I will never join you! Once we have left our borders unguarded you will move in. You say you are not strong enough to attack. I know your numbers and your resources. You say the Miranu are gone. You forget the trade republic. Miranu still thrive on their own worlds under a new government. You will find it quite difficult to overcome the anger of those Miranu over your treachery. Let me go or you will be sorry to have kept me captive.

It's not total destuction. The planet is still there. If you cool it down, you can still colonize it.

Also, where did you get the resources to produce 3 dreadnaught class ships?

The old Miranu worlds will be uninhabitable due to radioactive fallout for the next 1,000 years just to let you know.

To Daedalus: I'm dead serious! I don't want to attack you! I am SICK of it!! I like you guys! I like the Corocians! I like the Silver Fleet! That is the whole reason I brought the Agzarai into this, to have an alien race that we can all fight without shooting at each other (but just a reminder, I am the main controller of the Agzarai and their allies, but other people can control them a bit too). Trust me! I mean you no harm!! Honest! Serious! Please believe me! I don't want to attack you! As I said, some of my admirals and generals didn't like it, and so Carnotaur and Intimidator decided to make peace!! I do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT want to attack you!!

Millennium. Its coming, prepare for it.
Coming to the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiaSW.com/games/ev/chronicles.html")EV Chronicles(/url).

High Peon: Sir, the Azdgari appear to be becoming weak in the knees.
Rama: Step up the production of ships. We will transport the fleet to the Jax system using the mesh device combined with our quantum generator. A scout has already set the transponder. Contact Lonevoinian and have him bring his fleet and colony cruisers here. We have finished contruction of the Omega Class Mesh Transport. It can carry the fleet to Jax. We assemble Carrack in 4 days. Maybe Carno will remain allied with us again if he sees we mean business.

Soon about 216 Raman Cruisers, the entire of the mighty Raman fleet; are assemble at Carrack waiting for Lonevoinian and his mesh weapon equipped bubble ships.

------------------
Merry Christmas!

"Sir, we have recived a transmission from Rama." Said a Trusted Lieutinet "Patch it through." Said I, Lonevoinian."Greetings, Lonevoinian. I request that you bring your Bubble Carriers and Colony Cruisers to here, the Carrak system." Said Rama. "I will, provided you can supply me with 2500 tons of Titanium, 30 Shield grids and 100 tons of Quartz crystal. My Bubble ships were heading off to get the resources of a planet when you called. I need resources or else my production facilitys will grind to a halt."

Rama responds:

(This message has been edited by Lonevoinian (edited 01-01-2001).)

Rama: I can give you half of that and no more. My resources are stretched thin as they are. Just hurry your ships here. After attacking sol there is some neutral planets near us that we can take over, Brocak Ja. and Dafnin.

This is a joint attack. You should probably come along to control your ships.

------------------
Merry Christmas!

Very well. I have sent the order for my ships to come to Carrak. They will arrive in 3 hours. I will have my Azdgari Dreadnaught and my Voinian Dreadnaught come as well.

If you like us Corocians so much, make peace with us and withdraw from core Corocian space.

CONTINUATION: Cloaked, UE Patriot's Corocian fleet launch a sneak attack on the Raman fleet at Carrak. Although Patriot's fleet is outnumbered, their excellent flying causes the Raman ships to accidentally fire at each other and destroy each other. The Raman fleet is destroyed!

God bless,

UE Patriot

Question. Just where the HECK did that fleet come from?

If I were a mod a would revoke that post very soon.

------------------
Long live the Rebellion!

Core Corocian systems? I'm not in the Core Corocian systems. Rama is. And Patriot, you can't just defeat the Ramans like that.

To Everyone: I need to know what you think of the Agzarai being a major threat idea. If enough people don't like it, then I'll delete it.

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

Carnotaur, worrying that Rama might misunderstand him, sends a message to the fleet at Carrak (where I assume Rama is. If he isn't there, I sent it to wherever he is). It reads:

"Rama, this is Carnotaur, I don't want you to interpret my intentions wrong. I just cannot keep up this war effort. My morale is starting to decrease. Half my admirals are sick of it. I definitely think that Daedalus and Rooster are kinda sick of it also.

"But I was almost forced into it because of the Agzarai! My long range spies have reported that they are preparing to attack us! Since they are superior to all of us, even your extremely good technology, I see them as a major threat, and the biggest threat of all. They are conquerers. They want to conquer us! We must stop them! I also have to worry about a hidden Igadzra/Renegade uprising. I have to also deal with that and stop them.

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

Meanwhile, how does Rooster and Daedalus reply to Carnotaur's offer of peace?

I think the Agzarai idea is pretty good. And I think that someone should revoke Patriot's post. It is not O.K. to go away for 200 odd posts and then come back and in one post wipe out a super-power.

Sorry :0

Okay, I got the Smily wrong.

It should be: Sorry.

CONTINUATION: In a lab on the moon on Yandros where Patriot's colony lies, a scientist makes a discovery after a long night of pizza, chips, research, and Saalian brandy.
The scientists then sends a comm message to UE Patriot.

Scientist: "Sir, I've discovered something that could change the tide of this war, sort of."

UE Patriot: "What is it?"

Scientist: "Well, it's a modification to the staggered hull. (E-mails Patriot some scientific numbers) If we modify the calibrations and (lots of scientific jargon).. we can increase the armor's strength agaisnt Raman weapons by 50%."

UE Patriot: "Excellent. When can we perform these modifications."

Scientist: "Immediately. The modifications cna be done with the on-ship tools your crews have available."

UE Patriot: "We shall commence. Patriot out."

UE Patriot (to fleet): "Perform these modifications to your armor (sends ships info about mod) Set a course for the Carrack system. We shall intercept the Raman fleet there. However, if the diplomatic scene changes (as I hope it does) then we shall attack the Azgarai (not the Azdgari, but that one Carnotuar made up for us to beat the pulp out of). May God be with you all."

God bless,

UE Patriot

"Sir, the fleet is at Carrak." "Good. Do we have any more ships to send there?" "Yes. We have the Diplomatic Cruiser/Carrier around G'st'ar'ryh'ht, 30 Colony Cruisers scatterd around our colonys, and another 300 Fighters." "Good. We should be able to take out any fleet that we could come against. Send them to Carrak." "Yes sir."

Rooster is slumped in a chair smiling while this argument takes place. They both stare at him and he looks up. Rooster: "Well, after all this i don't really give a damn about the Agzarai. My people do care about the Renegade uprising and the obvious Raman participation in it. That entire area could most definately become Raman territory, making both of us the targets. So i'll accept your alliance, if you can effectively make amends to the Trade Republic and Daedalus agrees. Just open a channel to the High Command and i'll make the order." He extends his hand to Carnotaur.

------------------
It is not fear that will destroy you, but the absence of it.

Before we go on, lets get one thing straight: It is Agzarai not Azgarai or anything else like that.

Second, the Agzarai are highly powerful, very smart, and have extra good weapons. It will not be easy at all to destroy them. However, they are far from invincible. Remember, don't just attack them. Think. Use maneuvers, lay space bombs, collide with ships, think of some smart way to destroy their ships. Not just shoot at them. They have very good shielding. I don't want to make this story boring with brining in a superpower. I wanted to make it interesting.

Also, the Agzarai have a few weaknesses:
1-Arrogance: They are extremely arrogant and usually think they can win (but they are still very smart otherwise).
2-Maneuverability: Their ships are not very maneuverable. They like big, heavy dutey, battleships. They have fighters and pretty good ones, but they still like larger ships (their cruisers are about the size of two Voinian cruisers, and their battleships are the size of a Voinian dreadnaught, even bigger. All their other ships are big also. However, they are still more maneuverable than the Voinians).

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

Carnotaur immediately gleefully shakes Roosters hand. Suddenly, an Azdgari lieutenant rushes in. "Sir! It's happening!!!"

"What?! What's happening??!!" Carnotaur asks.

"The Agzarai!! They are attacking!!"

"How many warships?"

"Twenty warships, ten destroyers, sixty fighters. Not that big a fleet, but still dangerous!"

Carnotaur turns to Rooster. "Lets go! You can use the ships I have in the docking bay! However, if you want, you can take the Pultaq, but it's not entirely repaired yet!"

Rooster: Daedalus, the Silverfleet's interest is you, and i would think they want to protect their interests no matter what alliance do or don't take place. Carnotaur has opened the comm channel, call your people." Rooster sees not what Daedalus does, but interfaces with the transmitter. Rooster: "Corocian High Command, i must speak at once with High Lieutenant Sorben." Comm: "Yes sir, immediately." Sorben: "Yes?" Rooster: "This is High Commander Rooster, authorization 32 Strike Gamma. I order the ceasefire of the Azdgari-opposing forces and ships are to be rerouted to Azdgari northern space!" Sorben: "Yes Commander! It will be done!" Daedalus had since left the room, notified to be allowed to exit the conference room by Carnotaur. Rooster then ran down the hall to the bay, where he found the C.X.S. Pultaq , along with a very few Azdgari vessels that hadn't gone to fight. Rooster still had no desire to command a ship of Azdgari crew, so he surveyed the Pultaq 's damage. The slipdrive was disabled, but the rest of the ship was operable. He boarded and launched out of the bay, powering the shields and weapons, knowing his cloak would not work without the slipdrive.

Carno, am i going to the borders or is this in Zidagar?
