<<Message to Rima of the Zidagar, Encryption Sequence Ji-6 Active>>

Of course! Would you mind giving me an update on the weapons on it, so I know
how to use it? And the size, too?

I won't keep it long. You'll need it soon - watch out for the Igadzra, as I fear
they must be about to try something on one of us.

I'm sending you blueprints for the Matter Density Detector. Get them into systems
as quickly as possible, and put them on your largest ships afterwards. They'll
give you advanced warning about Azdgari or Odine attackers.

The Z.S.S. Marathon is a half km longer than a Crescent Warship but a lot more compact because of Zidagar compaction technology.It has two Phase Rocket launchers,8 Zuchra turrets,a humrugar bay, a StarLancer,a Pashaga(missle type),cloaking device,cloaking detector,StS's,and I will put a Matter Density Scanner on it before it leaves,A Zidgar ECM,2 fuel scoops,An auto-refueler, an IFF decoder, and a density scanner(I may have forgotten something but I don't think so).And the hydronics-bay to grow food.It's self sustaining.I'll send it right away.It has good armor and shielding because of mixed tech.

Rima out

Rima puts Matter Density Scanners on the Marathon and puts them in all of the Zidagar systems.She sees the Marathon out and gets regular reports as it nears U.E. space.

REDchigh heads to Voinia to talk to Battledoctor. REDchigh is so anxious to see Battledoctor, when he has one jump of fuel left, he overshoots and lands in an abandoned system. Suddenly, the largest Voinian fleet REDchigh has ever seen warps into the system. One of them recognizes the Arada as the one that raided the space a week ago. The lead Cruiser opens comm w/ REDchigh. "You are the one that killed my brother in your raid last week! We were very close! I must avenge his death!" While REDchigh is still reading the Comm, a whole mess of rockets are suddenly coming towards him, and right as RED looks up, he see's the rockets- less the 80 yards away, traveling at top speed.REDchigh tries to shoot his starlances at the rockets, but it is too late. The Arada is knocked 2 miles from the impact, and that knocks the left 1/3 of the ship completely off. The Air starts escaping that half of the Ship, and REDchigh rushes to his escape-pod, right as the rest of the crew is sucked out into space. RED watches in horror as his perfect arada, is turned into space dust, and as the escape pod flies by the fleet, he notices, the fleet was a cargo fleet! the escape pod makes it into orbit around voinia, and, after a comm directly to battledoctor, he comes and picks red up personally. Soon, they are both on borb station, and REDchigh still wants to know what his first mission is....

(The espionage plan is going perfectly. I narrowly escaped giving my arada's techs to the Voinians, by steering my Arada into a fleet of Beserk Frigates, and lets just say, battledoctor won't be getting any information...)

Out of character- Battledoctor, this will make the plot Very interesting
Oh, and you have no way of knowing, until i let you. When i give you a chance to know, you can know, but that won't be for a while.

Paladin-AKA Esponer- I guess there is an advantage to talking to your allies on instant messanger first, huh?

BattleDoctor docks his ship, carrying Red, at Borb station. They proceed to commandeer the next shuttle heading planetside. He is in a big hurry to get down to business with Red.
"First of all, I would like to apologize for having that fleet attack you. I had thought that all fleets that might encounter you were briefed, but apparently one of my aides made a mistake. You will be reimbursed for the cost of your arada, which we estimate to be around 4 to 7 million."
Red sits and listens.
"Currently, we would like to custom build you a ship. Please give us some idea of what you would like. You will be briefed on your mission at a later point in time."

OOC- I've been reading this story for quite some time, and it looks very interesting. I would really appreciate it if you would allow me to join RoC. If possible, I would really love to be the founder of a new renegade group, possibly taking root on the abandoned planets that were typically used for the South Tip renegades. If I'm accepted, I'd explain my plans in more detail.
Also, if somebody could send me a short list of the new tech that is being used, that would be great, as well. Thanks!

Do-spect armor? Hah!

Well, I think that it would be nice to have someone like him join. This far, we haven't really had anyone control the independants or renegades. Therefore, I support Forklift joining, but Paladin gets the final say.

------------------
"...Until next time, take care of yourselves, and each other." Jerry Springer

I will only accept 3 M in reimbursement for my poor crew, since your gonna build me a new ship.

REDchigh answers Battledoctor "Lets see... this time, I'd rather have a Frigate. Arm my Arada with the most powerful weopons you have. Make it as maneuverable as you can. If youcan't make it at least more maneuverable than an interseptor, then leave about thirty tons of space left, and I'll go up to Adzgari space and bribe a few engineers.... Oh, and be sure to build this onto it" and REDchigh hand battledoctor a slightly scorched, but still valid, cloaking device

Yeah, sure, Forklift, but I suggest you take Akrayhek with a mobile fleet.

I spent ages writing out the techs but my browser screwed up, so I'll write
it some other time - today, probably, but later on..........

And I'll set it up so that a UE Fighter with Hirogen Blaze falls into your hands....

Wait, Red, do you want a Frigate or an Arada? You mentioned both, so I'm not sure...

--------------------------------IMPORTANT-----------------------------------

I have an idea for the end of Reign of Chaos - please vote for whether you
like the idea or not, even if you aren't playing and are just watching.

IDEA: A huge final battle, with all 3 sides against each other, with no
non-violence pacts or peace treaties. The battle would take several posts,
from different people, and would require almost everyone to be on at the same
time.

After the battle begins, most control over ships will be taken away. Each player
may control their main ship and a few others directly, or my call for the retreat
for everyone.

So generally, I might say my Topaz with UE Cruiser escorts destroy some Voinian
ships, and then Battledoctor might say his V.E.S Voinia with Voinian Cruiser
escorts destroy some of Jade's Seiken craft.

In the end, we'll have to decide when we're dead.

OFF STORY: I just started watching this story, and I have a few questions:

1-Who controls which governments?
2-Who is the head moderator/starter of Reign of Chaos?
3-Who controls Stror, F-25, and S-570 (a planet in the Proxima Nebula)?

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

Carnotaur sat in his Crescent Warship. It wasn't just any crescent warship, though. Three times the size of a normal crescent warship, with a silver and gold hull, and a vast armament of unique ane exotic weaponry, the Red Horizon (the name of the ship) was about as powerful as six Igazras.

Among the main modifications, besides the silver and gold hull plating, were two Igadzra Beams, SAE Modules, Enhanced Neutron Turrets, and 4 pursuit missile launchers, and 100 pursuit missiles that Carnotaur had specially designed to be effective even better than Needle Missiles in Nebulas. Another thing was an extremely thick hull, taken from a scrapped Voinian Cruiser, which made the Red Horizon extremely powerful. Among it's escorts were two Azdgari Warships and four Igazras.

Carnotaur was in the Mirava system, waiting for a shipment of Saalian Brandy to arrive. Carnotaur was a mercenary, doing things for ANYONE (so if you need some help guys, ask him) for credits.

Calling any mercenaries. The United Earth government are in need of someone
to work for them for a short period. You will be required to scout, control
some minor fleets, and will be paid well if you do well.

The Z.S.S. Energy is going along well.The type 2 Pashaga(rocket-like type) is almost finished.She gets a report that the Marathon has reached it's destination(UE space).She also starts looking up if the Zidgar are ready for a wave weapon.She considers it.

To: Carnotaur, Independant
From: BattleDoctor, Voinian
(We, the Voinians, have heard of your offer of help to any government. I assume that the UE will try to hire you. However, I must advise against it. The Voinians are not into conquering and mass-murdering at the moment. We are content to hold our space, and not fight, for the time being. The militant UE government has been on the war path lately. They broke a peace treaty, and they are killing many Voinians for no reason. The Voinians do not wish to fight. But, if my people have to fight, they will crush the UE. But we may not be able to do it alone. A skilled mercenary like you could aid us considerably. I will outbid any other offer for your work. If you are interested, respond and come to Voinia. I can't risk saying your mission over a commlink.)

Paladin, what ever do you mean when you say "it's gone out of control"? I have no idea what you're talking about. And lets not discuss the end just yet. We don't appear to be drawing too close to the end. I am not in any hurry to end this, and I don't see why you should be.

"Sir, I've heard of a talented mercenary named Carnotaur. He could help
us, you know." one UE officer said.

"Will he have received our call for a mercenary?" Paladin asked.

"Yes, but I think he'd like being singled out more than being called mercenary."
the officer said. "He might want some more money, too."

"What's his ship?"

"Cres. Warship shape, but huge. Very powerful." the officer replied.

"Give me a comm.link with him."

<<Message to Captain Carnotaur, Mercenary, Encryption Sequence Chi-4 Active>>
<<From Paladin of the UE>>

Greetings, Carnotaur. Please excuse our last offer. At that time I was not
informed of your existance, and if I had known I would have not offered you
such a terrible offer.

The UE-ECM makes almost all guided weapons miss, and the UE are currently re-designing
it after having lost it when Redchigh went to the Voinian side. We also have StarLances,
powerful missiles that cause twice the damage of rockets, which are fast and have
"mediocre" turning, but don't require a launcher. Hirogen Blazes are strong weapons
that would work well on any fighters you have, too.

We are offering you all of these, and a huge amount of money, if you will join us
for a brief period.

If you accept, all we ask of you is to raid the Igadzra and defend the UE eastern
border. We do not want you to commit any atrocities. To do this we will supply
you with a small fleet of UE Cruisers and fighters.

I hope I can trust a fellow human not to side with any lying aliens who may have also
placed a request for your incredible skills.

I appeal to your sense of loyalty to humanity.

Paladin.

To: Carnotaur, Independant
From: BattleDoctor, Voinian
(Our offer still stands, human. We await your response. To further attempt to convince you, here are some general descriptions of Voinian techs:
Meteor Missile : Missile, 2-3 times as strong as a Voinian rocket, good tracking, good speed & maneuverability.
Rapid Intersect Missile : Launcher hurls a shard of metal, traveling extremely fast, at opposing ship. Rips through armor easily
Neutron beam : Beam, does immense damage, can't be mounted on ships smaller than Dreadnoughts
Enhanced Neutron guns/turrets : Does more damage than normal Neutron stuff, firing speed almost that of Blaze, tracking and range almost that of Phase
Enhanced Mines : More powerful, better targeting, and small propulsion, can be launched from a railgun
I think that's it... I'll probably remember more later... Voinians also have better armor, and shields similar to those of the Igadzra. As previously stated, I will pay you more than anyone else. I hope you make the right choice.)

Could you please tell me where to find when you researched
"Rapid Intersect Missiles"? I haven't heard of them, so I still retain the
right to revoke that post if the time researched - strength doesn't match up.

Carnotaur smilied. "Set course for Earth."

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

Several days later, the Red Horizon and it's fleet of escorts (another 2 AWs have been added, captured by Carnotaur in a raid) enter the Sol system. There they meet up with the UE fleet, and Carnotaur installs cloaking devices on all of them. Then, the fleet cloaks, and they set off....

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

Later, in the Igadzra system, the fleet entered, undetected. During the trip, Carnotaur had installed firebombs on all the UE ships. Hovering above Igadzra, Carnotaur ordered his and the UE warships to move into bombing positions, while the UE destroyers and fighters, as well as Carnotaur's fighters, prepared to hold off the attacking Igadzra.

Then, the fleet decloaked, and Carnotaur began to bomb Igadzra military bases on the planet's surface. A few of the bombs accidentally hit major cities, but he couldn't help that. Later, Carnotaur launched a Pursuit Missile which destroyed Igadzra HQ and killed half the people in the building.

Soon, over 3/4 of the military bases on Igadzra had been destroyed, and Carnotaur hastily cloaked and retreated back to UE space. But he first stopped on Freeport, bought over 400 mines, and returned to the UE/Voinian border where he began to set up minefields.
