BattleDoctor's aide rushed into his office and said, "Sir, we have a problem."
"What now?" asked BattleDoctor, slightly annoyed.
"There's a situation in the South Tip... a group of rebels has escaped from Kayia, and they're headed for the Proxima Nebula. We've got Admiral Hrekka in pursuit, but they're outrunning his warships."
"Weren't they bombed?"
"The rebels' leader and a few others escaped the bombing, and a few pirates showed up to aid them."
BattleDoctor made an annoyed noise and snapped, "I knew I should have ordered the whole planet carpet bombed." He turned to the aide and said, "Our sensors can cut through the nebula's interference, correct?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then I want 200 ships in there, combing that Nebula. Shoot on sight orders."
The Laser Frigate is nearing completion. ETA 2 posts.

Sorry Carnotaur,Esponer.I didnt know you could do stuff without notification.
In that case,the remaining Skraine vessels make a hasty retreat,and the ships in Hoth III withdraw to Hoth V.
No Carno,they do not tow away the disabled Confederate vessels.That ploy was meant because I didnt want to slaughter them,so I was going to establish a penal colony on one of the moons of Cardasria.
In that case,the asteroid base Watchstone should have been completed about a post ago.
Consider it complete.
KSarragh,upset over his loss in the HoronChars system,sends out a rapid message to the Confederates.
Confederates.It seems we underestimated your strength in combat.You are indeed worthy foes.
However this message comes with a request for peace;we will leave the Confederates to your systems in the galactic south-east.
We were wrong to seek to dominate you militarily,and we will no longer fight you.All we ask is that you do the same,and let our two nations grow in peace and isolation.
-Magistrate KSarragh,Magistrate of the Skraine Interstellar Coalition of Worlds.
He then sent a message to his military commanders in this region of space.
The situation in the Hoth Sector was volatile,and the Skraine needed more holdings in this sector if they were to remain effective.
More asteroid shipyards would be built in the Hoth X system,as well as a battlestation to protect them.
Unity Station would be renamed Unity Starbase,and upgraded to Battlestation status,a powerful one.
Also,new military bases would be constructed in the EC-103,KlingDret and Ancros systems.
EC-103 had no planets,and a battlestation would be built there,which would also serve as a fighter construction center.
KlingDret had one small airless planetoid orbiting close to its parent star,one side perpetually facing the hot orange star,the other always looking into the depths of space.
A fortress-base would be constructed at the northern polar terminator,where cometary impacts had left sufficient water ice,and a battlestation would be constructed in geosynchronous orbit over the light-side equator,also acting as a solar power collector.
The Ancros system was further than the others from Hoth V,but it held a strange asteroid belt whirling in a figure-eight orbit around the binary red dwarf stars Ancros Alpha and Ancros Beta.
On these asteroids had developed remarkable colonies of space-faring multi-cellular organisms,forming vast forests of black-photosynthesising lifeforms on the asteroids surface.
Large shipyards and mining centers would be constructed here,as well as a research base to study the space organisms,and two medium-sized asteroids would be developed into battlestations.
(See?Thats the sort of notification I was expecting,Carnotaur)
KSarragh then sent a message to Researcher Kraia at the Skraine University of Stellar Technologies(SUST),asking her to cancel work on the Tornado.KSarragh had discovered,the hard way,that the old-style warships of the Skraine were little use against the warships of other factions.
Kraias face dropped when he told her,but she seemed more interested when he told her that all Skraine ships were getting a major replacement project,which hed like her to work on.
Quote
KSarragh was hoping that the new ships-the Spark Light Fighter,Flare Gunboat,Blaze Light Frigate,Firebolt Missile Cruiser and Fireblade BattleCruiser would prove more effective against the other factions-although they did not plan to fight again for a long time.
The Spark would be a small fighter,very fast,and would be carried on the Fireblade and Firebolt.
The Flare would be a larger fighter,about the speed of a Storm,and would act to take out destroyers and frigates.
The Blaze was loosely based on the abortive Tornado,in that it had two WarGates,and would thus be also used for hit-and-run attacks.
The Firebolt would hold a large stock of the missiles KSarragh hoped to develop,and,although fast,would hang back in battle,launching missile salvoes into the combat at long range.
The Fireblade would be a great heavy warship,carrying a group of up to fifteen Sparks,but it would also be moderately fast.
It would become,in time,the main vessel of the Skraine fleet.
All the vessels would be simple to build,and could,therefore,be repaired almost from slag using new modular parts.
Then KSarragh sent a message to Councillor Karaze,on board the Science Vessels currently heading back to Skrineen.
The Skraine needed new weaponry.
KSarragh,seeing the sucess of the new ECM,had wondered if it would be possible to create new primary weapons,based on Electro-Magnetic Pulses.
Karaze assured him it could be done;the researchers would start researching on the new EMP weaponry as soon as they returned to Skrineen.
KSarragh decided that designing of the new ships would begin when the new weaponry was not completely complete,so that the ships could be put into production as soon as possible.
KSarragh then sent a message to the Galactica.
Galactica friends,we have suffered defeat at the hands of the Confederates in the HoronChars system.
This has led to our decision to replace our warships and weaponry.
We would be very grateful if some of your own researchers would make the journey to our space to aid us in designing new missiles for our new vessels.
KSarragh then sent his final message on that day,to the Tribunal.
Tribunal.In our galaxy and our affairs you remain enigmatic;your purpose is unclear.That is fine,but you have yet to respond to our hails.Are you afflicted by anything?Do you require our assistance?
--------------------
ETA Until EMP Cannon/Turret/Beam complete:15 posts.
Notes:EMP weaponry will be hell on sheilds,and will do nasty stuff to circuitry when shields are down.It will be next to innefectual on Spectral Armour.
Ship designing will take 15 posts,and will commence when EMP research has undergone 10 posts.
Missile research begins soon,if the Galactica will aid us by sending weapons scientists.
The new bases in Ancros,KlingDret,and EC-103,as well as the new shipyards in Hoth X,and the upgrading of Unity Station to Battlestation status,will take 3 posts.

Esponer,I did post ETAs.
The weaponry will take 15 posts until it is complete,the ships will take 15 posts until they are complete,and the ships will begin construction when the weaponry has undergone 10 posts.This is the Skraine's way of figuring out what systems the weapons will need,then designing the ships while the weapons are still undergoing fine-tuning,so it takes less time.
Nothing new will appear in actual duty for 25 posts.
The new missiles(there will be two,1) the Dart,which is a tiny thing launched in swarms on around 50.It functions like an old Dispersal Rocket does(remember,it detonates before hitting the sheilding,so the flak does lots of damage to shields),but instead of flak there's a swarm of tiny missiles.They are carried in tubes,which are launched like rockets,but detonate after launch and the Darts go off.And 2),the Lance.It's fast,fires in salvoes,does reasonably good damage(medium+),and has good guidance)will begin designing when or if Galactica helps me by sending some weapons researchers.If they don't,it will take longer to research missiles.
The missile research will run alongside the EMP research,but there's no way it will be finished later than the ships.

OOC: Yeah well, blah...

As research and upgrade protects continued, the colonies in Eta Cassiopea were going nicely. Once the Styx Bomber was finished, there would be a massive upgrade project for the Chimaera Carrier, as well as a smaller one for the Alliance flagship to equip them with the bays capable of holding these deadly attack bombers.
And once the research of the Galactica Mass Missile was finished, its technology would be incorporated into the Trans-Phasic Missile and Photon torpedo. This would give them a lot more range, possibly even enough range to out-do the Mass and Cluster Missile. That would give the CA a major advantage.
As for the Anti-Graviton Physics, the information gained there would be used later on in a new technology that the CA were planning that would also give them a great advantage...
Now that they were all militarily secure, they could now work on expanding more, making more cities, improving the cities, making shipyards, industrial ports, skyscrapers, etc.
In the Milky Way, this was also happening. Tufel, Lontri, and Villian had all been colonized for large colonies and industrial centers. No battlestations, no major fleets. The Confederates needed to expand their industrial power and their economy, and this was one of the better ways to do it. Besides, Galactica was already quite expanded. They needed to match them.
As the fleets in Krraali and Priat readied, Admiral Firebird still continued on and on through the Ross 154 galaxy...
OOC: You know, I would like people to post a bit more often. It's really annoying when you have to wait for ages for someone else to post a reply to your battle post.

Grunadulater grew impatiant, so he wrote a holomessage for the diplomats to give to the leader from him;
"Hello, I represent the Raiek. We have been monitering your status and would like to sign a treaty with you. Togeather, we may protect eachother from the Hoarn(I think thats it, to lazy to go and look), the alien ships that attacked you today. The diplomats will carry out further diplomacy."Grunadulater left the diplomats and the message for the leader to read. He ran to his ship and shot off toward the wormhole. As he was in hyperspace, he sent a message to the Raiek;

When Grunadulaters ship came into the Hoth IV system, he landed to talk with Moiraine. He walked into her office.
"Greetings, Moiraine, I have some armour I need you to reconstruct. Would you be willing to do this?"

"Are you sure the powers off?"
It's Haorn, Grundy. I never attacked the Skraine!
At last, the research for the Armor Leech and Destroyer construction was completed. Motherships almost finished,and soon the Battle Station would be complete. All ships will be outfitted with the Armor Leeches. Espona had made his decision. An attack fleet would be sent out once the projects were finished.

Zak's attack on Hrekka continued.
The Alliance had brought 75 more ships in, by which time, they had lost 100. Their numbers, now at 150, were beginning to look devastatingly outmatched.
Zak's pirate fleet numbered 430 ships, and the two battlestations had been damaged beyond repair. Pirates swarmed upon the Alliance ships, and between passes, they opened fire on the battlestations, causing even more devastation.
By this time munitions were all used up, and the pirates had fallen back on proton weaponry and (enhanced) phase.

(END MESSAGE)
From Skrineen,Karaze and K'raia reported that a prototype idea for the EMP weaponry was underway.
In Hoth V,the central docking ring of Unity Station had been enlarged.
In the EC-103 System,the main docking ring of the Battlestation had been constructed.Work progressed on the solar plates and the main body of the station.(see my Starbase,in my station set,on my site,through my sig,to see what a Skraine battlestation looks like).
In the Hoth X system,work on the new Battlestation,as well as on two new asteroid shipyards,was at a similar level of completion.
In the Kling'Dret system,the main fortress-base was being carved from the polar rock.The geosynchronous battlestation was under construction.
In the Ancros system,megaminers had begun to carve out the shipyards,mining facilities,battlestations and research base which would eventually compose the base in that system.
In the Del'As'Mir system,the WarFleet had finally stepped in,to establish a military base on the planet,as well as a battlestation.
The stockpiles of ore on the southern continents would be left to grow until the new vessels were complete,and required the ore.
In the Hoth III system,Commander Thraize returned after a long and twisting route through the Milky Way.
She say,to her suprise,ships of the kinds she had seen in the other galaxy.
Soon,Magistrate K'Sarragh appeared on her viewscreens.
"Welcome home,Commander.Head over to the starbase in the Hoth V system-you have a lot to catch up on."

The Battle in Hrekka was leaning towards the Pirates, but they would loose a lot of ships in the process.
The Confederates charged them, using their heavy close-range weaponry to blast through dozens of ships. Ion Disruptor Beams lanced out and blew apart ship after ship. Though the Confederates suffered heavy losses, and the battlestations were damaged, they fought on.
The battlestations spewed out tons of weapons fire which blasted apart a squadron of fighters as Corsairs charged into the fray, their Ion Disruptor Beams tearing through shields and armor.
Soon the Confederates had lost another 50 ships, but they had taken down 30 Pirate ships as well, many by simply ramming them. But at that point they realized that they could not win, and so hastily retreated back to Dewe to reassemble and prepare for a counterattack. But as they left and the Pirates swarmed the two battlestations, the remaining crews set the cores to overload. In massive explosion and fireball, 45 Pirate ships were incinerated and many more severely damaged.

With Anti-Graviton Physics finished, the Confederacy now only had to wait for their other two projects to end to begin a new project that had to do with Anti-Gravitons. Preliminary design sketches were made up, and research would start shortly...
---------------
The Confederate Raven Remington , after a long are quite boring journey, finally arrived in the Sija II system and decloaked. The Sijak were quite surprised at the appearance of this new vessel, they had only seen the Corsairs before, and this new ship had just decloaked in their system!
Admiral Firebird hailed the Corsairs, reported the situation, and then was beamed onto Casene's Supernova by Lythrawn. Seating himself at the table with the others, the original Confederate commander nodded and was sent back to his ship. Once had gone, Firebird leaned over to Casene. "Not to be rude, Commander, but may I have a word with you alone in another room? I have something quite urgent to tell you. What it concerns I cannot say at the moment."

MOD: Partial revoke, Carnotaur. Zak wouldn't have fallen for the explosions so much.
- - -
The pirates had lost one hundred and twenty ships in the battle, their fleet now only 380 ships strong. Many of the lost ships would hopefully be scrapped and re-constructed from salvaged parts.
Meanwhile, the pirates were pulling in mines that they had unsuccessfully laid in DSN-4647. When the Alliance ships returned, they would have a surprise in store for them.
Meanwhile, Zak was trying to find ways to recruit new followers from Galactica and the Alliance, to gain their technological superiority. He had planted agents within the cities of both sides, and was searching for any possible defectors.
- - -
Casene looke deeply into Firebird's blue eyes, a strangely familiar site. "Yes, of course," she replied after a minute, not entirely knowing why she said it. Dismissing herself with an apology, she guided Firebird into the adjoining chamber. The second they had both entered, she turned to him.
"You can't be."

K'Sarragh was happy that the Confederates had sent them the files on missile technology.
The files were forwarded to the SUST on Skrineen,where researchers would begin work on two new missiles,the Dart and Lance.
In Hoth V,the work on Unity Station was nearly complete.
In Hoth X,the new asteroid bases,as well as the Battlestation,were nearly complete,and Skraine technicians went through the corridors,laying down the wires and communication conduits that would run throughout the bases.
In EC-103,the shell and decks of the Battlestation were complete,and the fighter shipyard was being constructed.
In Kling'Dret,the main body of the battlestation was complete,and the fortress-base was undergoing wiring and defence emplacements were being put in.
In Ancros,the carving out of the multiple bases was nearly complete,and the painting and flooring of the corridors had begun.
In Del'As'Mir,the military prefabricated barracks was almost complete,as was the orbiting Battlestation.

In Dewe, the Confederates were preparing a large task force to try and take out the Pirates. Though numbers on the Pirates were sketchy and they could easily try and bring in reinforcements, scouts would be sent in. Maybe even a few bombers would be sent in as scouts and to chuck a few bombs into the fleet. Then would come a large strike force of Bombers that would hurl as many bombs as possible into the fleet, then the main fleet would arrive.

ooc: ahem, who, REDchigh? Well, I'll just pretend you said Kenra, since I already agreed on all this stuff.
An official comes out to greet the Raiek, a bit warily though. He quickly explains that Kenra can not meet them at the moment, since she is busy with other things, but should soon be done.
The official waves them towards a building where they can stay. It's a good building, and well taken care of. The official starts making plans to transpot the Raiek diplomats to where they want to go after they have had a meeting with Kenra.
-------------------------------------------------
The scout fleet that had been exploring randomly jumped into Sija, it's report quickly whisked away and examined. It had found a wormhole, presumably leading to a diffrent galaxy. The Sijak quickly assembled a team to go through the wormhole. 10 Ghosts jumped out of the system, headed towards the wormhole.

In the Hoth V system,Unity Station was now Unity Starbase,a powerful Battlestation.
In Hoth X,there were now three asteroid shipyards,and a battlestation to guard them.
In EC-103,the battlestation was complete,and was beginning to assemble fighters.
In Ancros,all the myriad bases were compete.Mining drones began to mine out uninhabited asteroids,the researchers gathered samples of the space organisms,and over it all hung the two asteroid battlestations.
In Kling'Dret,the heavily fortfied fortress-base and it's battlestation were complete.
