MOD: Revoked, Grundy. If you want to build 7 dreadnaughts in 7 posts, then give up all of your possessions in the other galaxies, scrap a third of your fleet, and go bankrupt. It just isn't possible. It took 20 posts just to build 1 Dreadnaught.
As for the status of the dreadnaught; it is now undergoing final preparations for battle (getting the crew, training the crew and having them get used to the ship, taking onboard supplies, etc.) in the Thorosk system.
----------------------------
The Federation fleet jumped into the Gadzair system, catching the Ediens off guard. A swarm of vessels charged the Ediens, letting loose a hellish hail of gunfire which destroyed many Edien vessels.
Azdaras flew through space as streaks of pure energy arced across the sky. Warships exploded left and right, fighters collided, warheads detonated, the Federation was unleashing its full anger against the Ediens.
As the battle raged around the Gadzair system, a group of Edien Destroyers pounced on the U.F.S. Echo Hunter; Admiral Johnsons command ship. The Federation Battlecruiser fired off a full spread of sub-space torpedoes, turning two of the destroyers into burning hulks.
However, the other three took a heavy toll on the Echo Hunter, blasting apart its shields and knocking off primary power. As auxillary power and several redundent shield power systems kicked in, a strike squadron of Azdaras descended on the destroyers, knocking all three of them out in a blast of phase fire.
As Johnson and what remained of the bridge crew struggled to bring back main power, an Edien Battlecruiser moved forward towards the Echo Hunter. As the Azdaras tried to stop it, the Edien Battlecruiser prepared to fire a spread of quantum torpedoes...
Meanwhile, the frigate U.F.S. Cetac, commanded by Captain Daniel Archis, was blowing apart the hulk of an Edien Battlecruiser, when Daniel saw the Echo Hunter being assaulted by an Edien Battlecruiser. “He won’t make it! Helm, move us full speed into a position between the Echo Hunter and the Edien Battlecruiser! Now!”
The Cetac ran full speed into position, just as a spread of quantum torpedoes rammed into it. As explosions rocked the smashed frigate, the Echo Hunter, safe with the brave act of Captain Archis, now had main power back online. The battlecruiser charged ahead and prepared to fire all of its weapons at the Edien battlecruiser.
“Take this you jerks,” Johnson said. “Fire.”
The Echo Hunter let off a massive stream of weapons fire at the Edien battlecruiser. As Azdaras swarmed and hammered it with phase fire, heavy weapons ordinance annihilated the battlecruisers shields then impacted into the hull. With a massive explosion of red hot light, the Edien Battlecruiser disintigrated.
