    • I've quit.

      I dislike this "I have a spy in your government" idea, so I'm going to pour more
      attention into Apocalyptic Night and Sokaro.

      Sorry everyone, especially you, Jess.

    • Jess watches Esponer leave the office.
      "Bugger."
      An officer comes in.
      "Jess, renegades are attacking!"
      "Commander, food supplies are running low on station Pybin, and the Zidagar are blockading!"
      "Bugger."
      Jess wonders if she could pretend to faint. But she's in command now. Bugger.
      "Right, send 15 Igaras to deal with the renegades (I don't exactly know what they are, but I'm going to assume they're faster, stronger Igazras), and send an escort of 20 Igazras with the food freighters. Begin work immediately outfitting 100 new Igaras with Search and Whatevers."

      Encrypted message to Nova: I want to join you and the Voinians. Send as many ships as you want to Igadzra in one day. Tell your Voinian allies to launch an attack on the Eastern UE systems, while we attack the rest.

    • The Igara is larger and slower than the Igazra.

      It carries 6 Igadzra Aradas, use a Neutron Blaster (takes down a Zidara in two
      shots, uses up 100 fuel units per use, has 30 or so jumps fuel - 3000 units)

      Revoked. You can't decode a message with a Encryption level 10.

      I revoke that piece of crap statement. Any message can be decoded, as long as you have the right equipment, which my ship has, and that equipment has been for sale for who knows how long.

      CONTINUATION:

      After landing in the Xarnes Spaceport, ESPilot goes to see Nova6 to discuss a plan. Again, and Azdgari guard halts him, and ESPilot, tired of this, draws his blaster and shoots a hole in the guards stomach the size of a baseball. He then proceeds to Nova6's office to discuss the plan.

      ESPilot says "Greetings, mighty Emporor. I have noted that the Igadzra leader has resigned, and his place is filled in by a less efficient, reckless leader." He continues on "I believe this would be the correct time to launch a strategical heavy assault on the fringe and outer core worlds of the Igadzra." With that, he waits for a reply.

    • Hey, can I join? I know its a bit of the way in, but I can read the background info. Please? I want to be an independant, with a Miranu gunship called the S.S. Sapphire Falcon. It'll be quite a lot more powerful than a normal gunship, and I have 6 Azdgari warships escorts and 2 Miranu hevy freighters.

      Post -

      Sapphire stood at the bridge of the Sapphire Falcon, which was entering the Zachit
      system. "Move to a stop," Sapphire commanded. "Land at Outpost Zachit." The
      Sapphire Falcon and it's small fleet landed, and Sapphire looked around for the
      leader of the Zachit.

      "Excuse me," Sapphire asked a Zachit member. "Where can I find the leader of the
      Zachit? I wish to see if I can perform any jobs for him." Sapphire is quickly
      directed to UE Crusader's office.

    • Jess, still waiting for a reply from Nova, ponders the situation. If she attempts this assault on the UE, the Zidagar may well attack while the homeworlds are 'unprotected'. Treachery from the Azdgari is, of course, inevitable. Her mouth twists in a sardonic smile. Predictable. That was the main weakness of the Strands. The Zidagar and their obsession with the belief that a homeworld is everything. The Azdgari, always act now, think later. She wondered what they thought about the Igadzra. If only the strands could unite, they could easily conquer the galaxy. But we'll never get on. We've grown too different. There can only be one winner.She orders increased ship production in the Mark system.

      ------------------
      I came; I saw; I hid behind a tree.

    • ESPilot, not finding Nova6 in his office, goes back out to the shipyard. He asks an Azdgari where the research and development labs are, and heads off to them. Inside, he looks around at various blueprints and projects. Looking around, he spots the Phase-Neutron blueprint, grabs it, and hightails it back to the S.S. Honor blade, blowing past security guards before they even know what happened, and immediately takes off followed by his fleet. He goes into hyperspace, arrives in a system, and immediately goes into hyperspace again. He does this until he reaches Zidagar where he presents the blueprints to Samurai, eagerly awaiting her reply to the Phase-Neutron cannon/turret Blueprint.....

    • 4.75m, gb .1m/d

      I'm attacking a Miranu fuzzbag plant on Mira.
      -------------------------------------------
      ONE WEEK LATER
      -------------------------------------------

      The plant is located on the outskirts of a large city, and is easily located by the tall, aesthetically designed hills nearby in which the skinned corpses of countless fuzzes are buried. At the large sliding doors, the plant manager was trying vainly to argue with the growing mob.

      "I demand, no, I ORDER youto disperse!"
      (Many)"No!"
      (Several) "End the Fuzz trade!"
      (One) "We aren't breaking any laws!"
      "Who's in control of this ruckus! I insist on speaking to him immediately!"
      (Many) "End the Fuzz trade!"
      (Several) "Society for the Protection of the Lovable Fuzz!"
      (One, yelling) "Entropy! He's not here yet."

      Suddenly, a low rumble is heard. A thunderstorm is brewing, and a slight rain is already falling. It will soon turn to a downpour.

      On the horizon, three dots can be vaguely seen. The protesters begin chanting "Stop The Fuzz trade! Save the Urslan Fuzz!"

      The three dots grow larger, and as the rain increades and the sky grows dark the ships reveal themselves as a battered Miranu Frieghter, a Miranu Courier, and Entropy's Lazira. The Lazira settles down on the hoverfloat lot, protesters parting to give it room. Entropy walks out. As the protesters cheer, he walks up to the plant manager and quitly asks if he can talk with him on the ship.

      (Aboard ship)
      Manager: "Your protesters are unlawfully failing to disperse! I demand that you order them to leave immediately!"
      Entropy: "They are breaking no laws, local, planetary, or imperial. It would only become unlawful if they entered the factory."
      Manager: "Can't you see how bad this is for business? Fifteen of my employees have already resigned! If anything else happens, I might have to close the factory up!"
      Entropy: "That would be excellant. I will see to it that some..."
      Manager (breaking in): "No! No! Look, what if I py you? Can you make them leave? We have to maintain a profit margin, and my employees can't work with all this disturbance...
      Entorpy: "Attempting to bribe an official? You are on CSLF territory, I may remind you. Nonetheless,you will find that it is also illegal under Miranu law, Subclause 15... but you will not be interested. In two hours the crowd will disperse, the ships will leave, and II will make sure that the authorities are notified of your lawlessness. Meanwhile, there is work to be done. GUARDS! Take him away!

      Two security afficers wearing badges depicting fuzzes rolling across the urslan deserts seize the manager and drag him off.

      Then, after the cheering crowd is notified of the events onship (drawing an even louder cheer when the manager is taken out the airlock by the guards,) the Lazira rises up, and several hatches open on the bottom, revealing specialsed cutting arrays. As the crowd flows into the factory, leaving conveyor belts broken and jammed in their wake and the giant skinning knives snapped off, while the crowd rescues fuzzes from the motorized belts, the Lazira hovers over the rear of the factory and slices one of the holding pens open. The Miranu courier lands in position with the cargo doors open, and trained personelle guide the frightened, malnourished fuzzes into the cargo bay, where food, water, and nesting areas are provided for the journey back to Ursla. As the last fuzz rolls through the doors, they close behind it and the Lazira slices the next of the nine remaining holding pens open, and the process is repeadted. The bays are filled only halfway to maximum fuzz capacity- they usually double in number by the time the ship reaches Ursla. After the courier is full, it lifts off gently so not to scare the already frightened fuzzes, and the Freighter moves into position. The three ships take off and fly away into the storm clouds, and as thunder begins to arc across the sky the protesters quietly disperse and go back to their waiting hovercars and homes, leving only the cuffed figure of the plant manager with a holotablet containing a video of his attempted bribery loaded on it when the police arrive.

      They had to break the law to do it, of course, but it was worth it.

    • Titan sends a fleet to the hatuli system to capture it. The fleet includes: 1 shadow cruiser, 10 creacent warships, 10 turncoats, 20 Helians, 15 aradas.

      <Messege to: The Igadzra-Voinian-Adzgari Alliance>
      {No enc}
      I hereby surrender 3/4 of my space to the Voinians, andmost of my ships/weopons to you. I beg that you will have mercy. To prove my sincerity, i will surrender all of my fleet, Except two cruisers, 20 destroyers, and 8 Carriers, strictly for the renegade problem. The only systems i will keep are Huron, Helios, Omm, Paaren station and Parren (planet), Also, please give me time to retreat a majority of my civilains out of Earth and the surrounding space. I hope that our govts can live in harmony side-by-side. If my demands are not to your requests, we can decide.>

      You decided you had spies in my government, so you could just happen to
      hear what my courier was saying, which so happened to be the first in a large
      amount of lies that would lead to my resignation (betraying Jess and then having
      her overthrow me).

      You complain when people FAIRLY build ships, decode messages EASIER to decode
      then mine, or FAIRLY build ships, all because YOU want to win.

      Look at Reign of Chaos. I made it, but I didn't win. You, however, seem to be

      Why are you at war with the UE?
      I know you ARE, but why? Land? Money? Tyranny?
      Anyof those, and since i surrendered, they aren't valid anymore!
      In the intro, it says that the renegades are mad because:
      1. theyare ruled by a "Distant earth government" I am no longer a major govt, so i hereby grant you independance.
      2. "they pay taxes to support a war that means nothing to them" Well. No more war with the voinians! so there!
      3. Um... I'd say because they are ruled without a representative. read the answer to #1!

      any other reasons?! I'll fix them. I traded my pride for my people's lives. Can't ya live with that? I think that all humans should've united against the comman foe, Voinians, but its too late for that, isn't it?!

      7. Anything acquired or developed must be noted. Background developments are allowed only by moderators.(/B

      For one thing, the posts you revoked DID NOT bend or break any of these rules, and I don't think it would be proper moderating to revoke posts that are FINE and aren't BREAKING THE DAMN RULES.
