I'm sending you real SAIs. It was a scheme to fool that idiot Jess. Soon enough I
will shoot her, so don't worry.

She's too commanding.

Esponer out.

1 more post until completion of the Miranu Gunship. Mwhahaha...

Zacha Crusader had watched Thunder's actions closely, impressed. as he finally brought his vessel back toward the Zacha lines, Crusader knew it was time to finish what Thunder had started.

"All Zacha ships, engage now."

It didn't take long. The already weakened forces soon met a barrage of pursuit missiles from multiple directions, with Crusader's Zacha-Class Crescent Warship leading the charge. Soon all vessels were disabled or had departed for the sake of their lives.

"Excellent, Thunder. You can consider yourself a fully-paid member of the Zachit now."

"However, our work is not yet done. Fall back to Zeldair for now, I will meet you there later."

So saying, Zacha Crusader hypered out of the now-peaceful Dewe system.

Later, at Outpost Zachit.....

"So, how is it coming?"

"As well as can be expected." The head engineer reported. The design was approved and we've gone forward full speed with the production process. The new Miranu Gunships will be totally at your disposal to use however you wish by tomorrow. We'll be producing more than enough to suit your needs."

Crusader nodded and smiled with no small amount of glee. After all the years of hard fighting just to preserve relative peace in this area of the galaxy, at long last his designs would come to fruition. Up until now the Zacha were limited to their own modified fighters and aradas--his use of a Crescent Warship as a vessel was an unorthodox thing for a Zacha to do, not only because they desired a mix of speed and power but because it just wasn't economically viable for the zacha to store up any significent reserve of them. As such they had often been at the mercy of Renegade Laziras, Warships, and other vessels, having to rely on numbers and sheer combat skill to make up for the lack in firepower.

But no more. Now, the Zacha would have a weapon worthy of their skill. One that would effectively make them one of the most feared and dangerous fighting forces in the North Tip--no, the entire Crescent.

But it wasn't enough for him to know it. No, everyone had to know. Everyone had to see a demonstration of the Zachit's newly acquired power.

Yes. The operation he'd planned out for so long was finally doable, now. He and the rest of the Zacha command staff had once discussed it as an ambition that one day might perhaps be realized--that day was now.

"Thank you, that will be all." Departing, he went toward the command deck of Outpost Zachit and approached the communication station.

"Send out instructions to every Zacha that comes in," was the order. He paused. "Tell them we will initinate operation Beta-Alpha-7"

The mention of that code phrase caught the attention of everyone present. "Are you sure--"

"Solidly. Our new prototype has just about been completed, and it will suit the plan perfectly. Now, notify every squadron out on patrol." Crusader left then, confident his orders would be followed.

Everything was in motion. Next stop, Zeldair. After that, a major step in the liberation of the North Tip. All that was left was to wait and prepare.

Redchigh, if you don't try to defend Yandros in your next post, I'll be forced to capture it (I've waited to let you try and defend it).

===============

The Voinians, after their near success at capturing a UE Cruiser, increase their raids with continuing zeal and drive.

The Voinian fleet now consists of 70 ships.

Time to completion of the enhanced neutron weaponry: 4 posts

================

The Voinian Haakai fleet then moves towards Vorik, where it meets up with another fleet and now consists of 80 ships. The fleet then moves off towards the UE Frontier, and soon attacks Outpost Theta!

The Voinian fleet jumps in in the middle of a Voinian raid. The UE are in utter confusion, and the Voinians easily move in and wipe the UE fleet out even though X-Cannons pound the fleet. Then, the Voinians move towards the station, and charge the remnants of the defense fleet...

Nova, I sent a top class, completely loyal, courier. There's no way you
can know, and you are still adamant you DO know, I'm quitting because you're
making the game unfair.

The Dulplex Shielding Project is complete! Die Igadzra! evil grin

Meanwhile, in the Notil system, a fleet of Azdgari Warships hyper into the system. The Igadzra ships, cought off gaurd, are dissorginized and confused. The Azdgari Warships launch their Azdaras. Then they pummel the Igadzra ships with their Phase-Neutron weaponry. The Igadzra ships launce their SAI's, But they have no effect! Then the Azdgari ships move and destroy the rest of the Igadzra ships in the system. They then destroy the rest of the Igadzra defence fleet, and call in reinforements.

In the Innirian, all is peaceful. Suddenly, a Azdgari fleet hypers into the system. The Igadzra ships are cought of guard, and are quikcly destroyed. Then the Azdgari fleet charges the Igadzra ships, guns blazing! The Igadzra ships launce their SAI's, But, again, they have no effect. The Azdgari fleet swarms the Igadzra defence fleet, destroying it.

Other people have found out about encrypted messages people sent, why can't I? And, what makes you think I don't have a spy in your gov HQ?

And what makes your story more special than mine? It's just an "ordinary endeavor".

Damn, i thought i could come to you two at least for some understanding of how much we've all worked developing Sokaro, when Dark Shadow started without any public development, and the ordinary EVO universe and presets. Can you really think these people won't wish they're in Sokaro with us when this ends and there aren't any webstories on the EVO board?

If people want to join Sokaro they are welcome to do so. I'm not their master. But, if you guys do join Sokaro, try not to quit this one.

Thanks, that's a sporting start i guess. But you'll be able to prove that it is if anybody posts saying either that they're joining or gives a very short explanation why not. That's what will decide if this story isn't completely absorbing their minds to the point they can't even acknowledge an offer to see a possibly better webstory.

ESPilot

I apologize for what I'm about to say Rooster, but ezboard sucks in my opinion. I tried to register so I could join Apoc Night, and when I was registered, I tried to log in and the password didn't work. I had them email me a new password, and guess what? IT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. Again, I apoogize for my rude comments to ezboard.

CONTINUATION:

ESPilot's fleet takes off from Hizdriar to find a fleet of 2 CW's, 5 Laziras, and 3 Aradas.

The fighters are launched from the three TT's, as well as ESPilot's CW escort and ESPilot's own CW making at least 29 Crescent Fighters which swarm the enemy along with 6 Aradas with pursuit missiles and swivel phasers from the TTs' Arada Docks, destroying a Lazira and all the Aradas quickly, and then going for the Crescent Warships. The larger ships, after pummelling the enemy with SAD's and missiles, engage in combat, the Tomato shield generators on ESPilot's fleet doing their work, as well as the modified speed and weaponry, ending the battle quickly.

The fleet recalls the fighters and goes to Hizdrair for repairs, and then heads to the Azdgari system for a special meeting with the Emporor, when he picks up a transmission:

The message comes out garbled, and ESPilot says to his first mate "Decode it." The message comes out clearly, and thinking quickly, ESPilot sends a message to Jess after it.

Greetings. I am ESPilot, a mercenary, who has supplied your people with various technologies and fundings in the past, and the transmission prior to this is merely a rumor started by certain rebels umong the Igadzra, not a proven fact. Your leader Esponer is a reliable ally of mine, and I know him well enough to know he wouldn't assassinate his own second-in-command.

After sending the message, ESPilot heads to Azdgari for a conference with Emporor Nova6.

Ok, Rooster. But I won't advertize your webstory if you keep on hinting that your story is better. Sure this one has the EVO universe and not a planed one, but people are more familer (sp?) with the EVO universe so they know what is what.

Also, I might end up making a whole board for this like yours so it will be easer to moderate.

Sorry. True, Sokaro has had a lot of work put into it, however, please remember not to go around bashing other webstories. Dark Shadow won't last a really long time, and then Sokaro can continue uninterrupted. Then, I'll go off and create the sequel to Red Horizon.

Okay. But all i was really concerned with was that people wouldn't join Sokaro because they were already part of Dark Shadow.

Also, i know it's not my place, but i'd like to ask a question. I'm only trying to learn here. Is there some requirement in order to encrypt a message on higher levels, or is it a luxury you can just assume by stating it? Because it seems it would be better to give it only to those who could afford it or had enough power to use it. Just trying to understand here.

Well, I geuss we could figure it out depending on who's sending it and such. The Igadzra should be able to send pretty well encrypted messages. The Voinians might also be able to send pretty well encrypted messages because they are so isolated no one speaks Voinian.

Glad i could help. I don't mean to be smug, but...we had already worked that out in preperation for Sokaro. Just seems like an awfully good example of how meticulously Sokaro's been engineered. Oops..sorry, i'm doing it again! Have fun with your story.
