Out of Character:

Red, aren't you supposed to decide the outcome of battles? What did I get out of my raid on Outpost Alpha? Did any of the Emalgha become Voinian loyalists (c'mon, be impartial tho I admit it's a bit far-fetched)
Heh, well, /someone/ should play Azdgari, I think. We should have all three strands, but I don't think one player should play two gövts (unless something very strange happened, like aliens from another dimension transforming all the azdgari into renegades)

In Character:

I'm installing my new fusion beam on all existing Frigates and Cruisers. Frigates get one, Cruisers three. Estimated time to completion: 3 posts.

?! I don't know WHAT you think you are up too. The Emalgha lived in the Emalgha system long before the Voinians came. The voinians ENSLAVED my people. Made us build ships, and raise food, and all sorts of stuff. If you seriously think that the Voinians were the first race to inhabit Emalgha, then forget the alliance. We won't ever leave our homeworld!

upon hearing of the voinian message, the Emalgha laugh it off, but the other inhabitant aliens start a rebellion. it is quickly quelled, but i lose 5 soldiers. will not affect my fighting power though.

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

MOD: ok. the raid on outpost alpha gets three destroyers, 7 fighters, and one Carrier, however the carrier was heavily damaged, and cannot be reverse engineered.

The voinians lose two frigates and 10 fighters in the conflict.

Okay. All the intact UE ships are gonna be repaired as best as we can, then they'll sneak along to the south of the UE and attack independent worlds (Thehir, Gribn, Iothe, etc.). If it looks like any of them will be disabled, they'll self-destruct, and they won't accept hails (so nobody can figure out that they're really Voinian.)

Project complete
Crimson Sheathe - Up to 10 layers, each layer weighs 2 tons and supplies 3
extra armour.

This means UE fighters have 25 shields and 30 armour.

Work has begun on a ship called the UE Kestrel. It is the size of a UE destroyer
and costs 2m credits. It is much more powerful and armed with rockets but no
hunter missiles. It also has 10 Crimson sheathes.

Hmm.......
What's an "Igazra"?
Oops... Found out.
I'll get the next one.

May I be the Azdgari? I'd rather be the Emalgha, but since those are taken, a strand is my second choice.
If the answer is yes:

New project
Type: Ship
Name: Bullfrog
Notes: Medium speed, Medium Armor/Shield, 20 jumps(Fast jumper)
Has 3 phase turrets, with room for one more, and a cloak.

Lord(Lady?) Giule:
I am positive that we could both gain from an alliance. We will send you our incredible shield recharge technology and fast engines if you will lend us your fusion beam device and armor capabilities. We will be able to crush our competitor Strands who have seemingly allied, while you will be able to annhililate the UE. Please send you answer soon.

ESPilot's ship, the I.S.S. Igadzra, leaves the docking bay after being equipped with a new EMP Beamer, and the new bay for the Igadzra Fighter. The first mate comes up to him on the bridge and says "Cap'n, we've received comfirmation of the alliance proposal from the Zidagar. Shall we respond?" ESPilot says "Yes. Send a transmission open to all Zidagar, and no one else." "Yes sir Cap'n." ESPilot says "Oh and another thing; I want all SAE's and our Igadzra Bay disarmed, both beams disarmed, and the fighters' fuel taken out." and the first mate replies again "Yes sir."

<Transmission to all Zidagar forces>
<1st class Alpha D900c Encryption>

I believe that you're all aware of the alliance between yourselves and my people, the Igadzra. I hope that both our peoples may prosper from this alliance, and we also have proposed to make an alliance with the terrans and their United Earth government, which is hard-pressed against a tyrannous empire. As a sign of our friendship, I am sending myself, aboard my Igazra completely unguarded and escorted, with only my phase turrets as weapons.

Admiral ESPilot of the Igadzra Navy signing off.

<End Transmission>

The I.S.S. Igadzra jumps into the Terapin system, and then jumps straight on to the next system (hey, even I forget these names), and then again to Zidagar. The Igazra flies to Tumni, ignoring theZidagar Fighter patrols, and docks at the Tumni spaceport. He then heads to the Zidagar Military HQ, where he is halted by the guards. He gives them that little 'magic' wave of the hand that high-ranking officers do, and they dismiss wordlessly. He enters Rima's chamber soundlessly, and notes the surprise on Rima's face as he says "Greetings. I believe I don't need to introduce myself, Commander."

Recently started playing ROTUE, haven't got too far, haven't seen any new ships.

Just at that moment SilverDragon makes his way into the room.

"I've got the p........" SilverDragon began, and then noticed ESPilot. "..policy
for the distribution of Zidagar ships." he improvised.

SilverDragon looks straight at ESPilot. "What do you want?" he asks, his hand
reaching for his enforcer pistol.....

Nicks ship,the U.E.S. Luna,a modified UE Destroyer,docks at the Lunicus spaceport. Nick disembarks from the ship and heads for UE high command to see Sapphire,about a transmission he picked up on his way to the frontier.

"Commander Sapphire" he says, "I picked up a transmission on my way here,from the 'Igadzra' (whoever they are) proposing an alliance and weapons trade.Do I respond to it accepting?" He awaits Sapphire's answer........

"Hmm......." Sapphire murmurs. "Would you mind going over there and finding some
more about them for me?" Sapphire asks Nick.

------------------
Hmm.......
What's an "Igazra"?
Oops... Found out.
I'll get the next one.

ESPilot turns around to see Esponer, and grabds the handle of the neutron rifle holstered across the back of his uniform, and says "Don't try to double-cross me. I thought we had an alliance with the Zidagar."

I need an answer fast! Please respond! My scanners report the I.S.S. Igadzra jumped into the Zidagar system, and landed without attacking. If they are making an alliance, the noble Azdgari are doomed!

Nick respond "Ok sir." He walks off to his UE Destroyer, and heads for 'Igadzra' space, with only the traced message as his guide.....

project started:
UE Battlecruiser
has a lot of shielding and armor, five fighters, a bunch of missiles, and a new weapon that you'll see shortly

another project:
UE Destroyer dock
a dock for UE destroyers thaty can be used on any of the larger-sized UE vessels

destroyer dock should be finished in 2 posts, and the battlecruiser in 4

OOC:

Nick, two things. One, how many destroyers does the bay hold? Two, why don't you register?

It holds one destroyer.and don't ask me why i don't register,because the answer if confedentiol.

Hello, I'm new
I'd like form a new government.
It would be a Strandless one that would regroup many planets:
Obutes, Hindros, Kayia, South Tip Station, Tibiat,Hrinix.
I'd like an anwser, because I have a lot of ideas.

"Silver Dragon!"Rima says sharply."Get your hand off the gun.We have made an alliance with the Igadzra.For now forget all your grievences(sp?) against them.Focus on the Azdgari instead.A surprise visit isn't unheard of."Now she looks at ESPilot."though it does sometimes cause suspicions on either side of a brand new alliance."There's a faint tinge of rebuke in her voice.She coolly looks at Silver Dragon waiting for his hand to get off the gun.

------------------
I'm not dead yet.In fact I feel pretty good!"
I cut off your arm!""It's only a flesh wound!"
"Bless this holy hand grenade..."

SilverDragon holds onto his gun, until Rima stares him down.

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

OOC: Will people stop joining as "Unregistered"? You're obviously copies of other
people - at least have the decency of getting a new email and doing it properly.

"Don't you agree, Jade?"

"Oh, definately, SilverDragon!"

Nick's UE Destroyer lands at the Igadzra spaceport after a long jorney,and he walks up to the Igadza hq.He says to the guard "I'm known as Knifeblade Nick,but you can call me Nick.I'm a representative for the united earth government,and I wish ro talk to this ESPilot who sent us a transmission." the guard says"The Admiral's on official business.Now scram."and Nick leaves to his ship,where he sends a transmission

Message to ESPilot of the Igadzra
enc
Hello,I'm Knifeblade Nick, a representative of the united earth government, and we accept your offer for an alliance.The Voinians are a menacing and tyrnnic empire, whose ships have strong hull reinforcements yet little shields.I hope our races can work together to destroy the Voinians.
Nick out
End transmission.

An Azdara screams in the sky overhead Rima's office. A few seconds later, an ambassodor walks into the same room as Rima, SilverDragon and ESPilot.

"Hello, I am from the Azdgari. It has come to our attention that you are allying together. This seems highly unfair, and we asked the Council. The Council said that the rules for honorable war meant no allying. (Chapter 2bg, Section 12s, Paragraph m2)"

"It seems to us that we could all gain from just ending this war and get on with conquering the galaxy. If we use Igzara's with our shielding, and Rima's beam devices we could rule all. We humbly await your answer."

The ambassodor sits down on the floor.
