    • OOC- Ne Demord Jamais, try not to post again unless someone does something that relates to you. I haven't really talked with Carnotaur about this, but it really is bad manners. You might want to download AIM (somewhere around (url="http://"http://www.aim.com")here(/url)), because that gives people an opportunity to talk to someone when they're online and arrange an ever so slightly evil exchange of posts, each one requiring the other to reply.

      Do we close at 200 and move to the next chapter? -hold that, need to make a post.

      Shar' Nadda
      Aided by the X'el virus, the battle was practicaly over. The Shar' Nadda were all but destroyed. In a demonstration of the courage and bravery of the Igadzra and Zidagar, all ships that had been affected by the virus or close to affected ships, some 2,400 in total, scattered and remained in the system to bombard the planet extensively.

      27,500 ships that remained and were, supposedly, unaffected, set off for Gno' V, Shar' Noriza and Shar' Nera.. As all the Shar' Nadda creatures were now either dead or commited in RA space, there was nothing left to defend those systems. The Shar' Nadda had not sent their attackers back for some unknown reason, and as such the SL ships were able to ravage the worlds, within nothing to stand in their way.

      Lenars
      ("We're not going to kill anyone we don't need to, don't worry," being the last line, continued now)

      "Which reminds me," the chairman said coolly, "there is something we do need to dispose of. Unfortunately, you see, although we don't kill unless we need to, recent events have shown we need to quite a lot."

      He pressed a button on his desk, and four kyhdron defence guns at the corners of the room spun to target Grunadulater, and vaporised him.

      Meanwhile, Grunadulater's small fleet came up against an ambush of 5,000 SL ships - with enough power to destroy them even if they tried to go into darkspace.

    • <before Espys last edit>
      Grunadulater stared at the man in astonishment. He could understand about him not trusting Grunadulater, but he was going to use the virus? Grunadulater nodded to the man.
      “I see. Forgive me for running in on you like that; I seemed to be over exaggerating. Apparently, your fleet can take on the renegades along, but you can not blame me for any casualties. I will be leaving now."

    • "KaCe, I want you to get me in touch with this Sojin Whitehawk."
      "Yes, sir."

      Red walked down the hallway, and he was lost in thoughts...
      Memories of his father.. leader of the Zidigar... Lost when his experimental beamer arada malfunctioned...
      Memories of RA victories against the Pirates in the new galaxy...
      The downfall of the Renegade Alliance...
      The remains, still drifting about Rigel...
      His father's arada! Why didn't he think of it before?

      He made his way to the Science corps.. "I want you to integrate the Phased-Neutron beamers heavily into the Arada redesign.. at least 4 beamers on it..as it's primary.. install 4 fuel scoops so that the already minimal fuel requirement won't be a problem.."
      "Yes, sir."
      "Copy old Zidigar AA arada designs as much as possible.."
      "Yes.. of course."

      Red walked away, thinking he did his duty.. honoring his father.
      He passed Kace on his way back.. "Any luck?"
      "Actually, yea. I had trouble finding a Sojin Whitehawk, so I hired someone to check out the bars. Turns out two patrons knew of a Sojin Kiran, a merc. The rebels would kill to get their hands on him. Whitehawk must be a nick or alias of his."
      "Good... did the Comm number register?"
      "This is the strange part.. It's a comm, but it's to a ship.. The ship beacon seems to be adjusting itself every time we check... like it's trying to cover up it's own tracks.. No point though, we couldn't trace it anyway."
      "Well, send him a message! We might have a job for him after all.."
      KaCe just smiled..

    • Kassadar
      There was a sad sense of finality as the Shar' Nadda force fell under the enraged Ring Alliance fleet, cut off from the Large Megellanic Cloud by the attack of the Worldship, perhaps for all eternity. There was nothing left of Outpost Kassadar, and thousands of ships lay floating through space, derelict. There was no turning back now, and everyone knew it. They would live or die here, in the Small Megellanic Cloud.

      Reports came in from the fleet that had been staged as nothing more than a decoy attack. Victory had been assured - all Shar' Nadda worlds were broken. No-one knew why the attackers had not broken off to defend their homeworld, but they had not. The victory was not without major loss, however. Teraoph, commander of the ZSN, and captain of the Ixion , had fallen prey to the strange virus. He had died instantly, without honour. The incident could have been hidden away - instead it was made public knowledge, and all mourned the tragic loss of such a courageous leader. There was a hint of irony - more than a hint, even - that someone who loved drama so much would die to a virus, and not an enemy.

      The danger of the plague was immediately made available to the populace. Those left in Ring Alliance space "packed up and left" for the Aries Cluster, and many ships set down on planets not previously habitated. There was a massive need for cities to be constructed, but not enough time.

      The old Ring was abandoned for fear of proximity with the virus. Fortunately, the Izirion fighter project was now based back in the Large Megellanic Cloud, so the abandoning of Herona had little implication.

      The shipyards in Ring space were, for the most part, spacebourne dry-docks. They were moved into the Aries Cluster and continued their use. Factories and shipyards that couldn't be moved were left manned until they could be left.

      Be glad that your forces did not come - the Shar' Nadda moved quicker than we had expected, and assualted Kassadar. The wormhole is now inactive - we believe it has been destroyed at the other side. The SMC is lost.

      If your ships had continued, they may also be destroyed now - destroyed or trapped. Can we assume that things are more or less even?

    • Sojin turned about the corner, seeing Azdgari soldiers pass him without a glance as they rushed past the alleyway. Briefly he considered putting off heading back to the ship, just to avoid a lecture from Raven. There had been two attempts to kidnap him, counting this last incident. The soldiers would find a rather large mess this time, considering the smuggler had to overload his pulse pistol. Made a very large explosion and lots of body parts everywhere.

      Sojin ducked into a warehouse devoid of life as the soldiers started coming his way again. Letting out a sigh, he tapped his wrist link and a holo-image sprung from it, plans of his surrondings in the port. He was near the central government building right now, but he doubted he would be going again today. He couldn’t try figuring out why people wanted to kidnapped him.

      The image disappated and Sojin tapped the link again to contact Raven. No signal. He tapped it again and then he swore under his breath. The com must have been jarred somehow. That was when he heard the sound of feet behind him and the sound of breathing. The captain let out an oath and spun around to face two Azdgari in plain clothes of any dock workers.

      Of course, dock workers didn’t carrying old phase pistols either.

      One of the Azdgari, seeing the human, snarled in his own way and as one both thugs raised their pistols and opened fire. Sojin was quick enough to dodge behind a crate even as the two bolts of golden energy passed him, but one grazed him slightly in the waist and the captain let out an oath.

      Sojin came up on his feet, ignoring the pain as he thrusted out his left arm, his fist clenched. Even though his pulse pistol was vaporized from exploding, Sojin Kiran was far from harmless. He had taken something from the muntions he had left, a weapon that attacthed itself to his forearm and wrist, flat against his arm. It was also held something close to the power of a pulse riffle, or so the cargo manifest said.

      One blue bolt shot from the weapon to hit the Azdgari who had snarled at him dead center in the chest and hurled him back nearly the lenght of the room. Smoke rose from the corpse as it landed and with it an acrid smell. The second one looked stunned before he lifted his blaster to return fire. That small hesitation cost him dearly.

      A second blast caught the Azdgari in the leg, dropping him to the ground even as a third blast took his blaster hand. Sojin was soon looking over the poor soul and the smuggler shook his head. The Azdgari tried to swipe at the captain, but a quick gut kick took care of that problem. Looking down at his would-be captor, Sojin shook his head and said, “You chose the wrong person, pal.” There was another shot and the Azdgari stopped writhing.

      Ten minutes later, Sojin was back onboard the ship as Raven treated the cauterized gash, not that much tenderly. “That makes three attempts in two days, Sojin. You would think on heading out or contacting the port authorities, but you had to keep going for the government building. How many bodies now? Seven at my count, including the last two you hit. You seem to want to be killed.”

      Sojin winced as Raven finished fixing the wound and said, “Raven, if I wanted to get killed, all I have to do is come to sickbay for your treatment.” The smuggler caught Raven’s wrist as the avatar tried delivering a punch. The grasp held and he smiled before letting go. “Trust me, Rave. If this doesn’t work out, I’ll lay low for a while.”

      For a moment, Raven looked skeptical but finally nodded and asked, “Send the message you prepared?” The captain only nodded.

      We would ask if you would be willing to be involved in an alliance of equals between various LMC governments. This alliance already includes the Strand League and Miranu. Should you agree, and the Kayans also, the Strand League will agree to share all its technologies with you all, in return for a similar if not quite so extensive favour.

      We are particularly interested in your ion drive technology, temporal biological suspension pods and shield drones. We have several ideas - one being modifying the plasma siphon for the ion drive - which you may find to be extremely profitable. Whether you want us to research it for you, or you to take our suggestions to heart, is up to you. The Strand League is impressed by your technologies, however, and has some ideas on how they could be improved.

      Please reply as quickly as possible.

      Gateway
      The Izirion fighter was now complete, and over the past few days all shipyards across SL space had been dedicated to pouring out Izirions only. Thirty thousand had been produced and were gathering in Gamsis for a strike against the Thalleon that would not occur until many more ships could be prepared. The extremely fast, light Izirions were to prove themselves.

      Meanwhile, all vessels commited to attacking the Thalleon pulled back, some 35,000 ships remaining. Currently in the LMC were approximately 400,000 ships, with the rest trapped in SMC. The Strand League, shaken by the events against the Shar' Nadda and worse for wear, would now face inwards, increasing the defences of her borders and boosting her fleet, while now and then greatly enhancing the number of Izirions preparing in Gamsis. Only when they had recovered from their losses and enhanced all their vessels would they make any attacks on the Akrahd.

      Cintrial
      With the Izirion completed, Lariat and Dacona had sent a message to the science team on Cintrial I, with specifications for a new weapon they wanted developing. The concept was simple: a device similar to the plasma siphon but for thoron engines. The thoron siphon would have simultaneous 360ş angle effect, meaning that it would be extremely effective at holding back close range swarms, should any vessels break through the initial shock of railguns and Scarab discs. Beyond fighters, the thoron siphon would not be particularly effective, but would still provide additional damage.

    • 8th Horosk Carrier Battle Group - Dilgu
      The Pirates simply didnt expect a thing. One moment, a few ships had been patrolling the system. The next, an expanding cloud of debris sat in the void. 13400 ships had appeared from sub-space fold, and opened fire from the safety of stealth. 34000 fighters swooped round the ships, weaving in and out.

      Nearer the actual Pirate base, a similar amount of ships appeared. They began pouring fire into the bases weapons and defences, fighters strafing, the AP Beams hitting with pinpoint accuracy.

      OOC:I have no idea how many ships the Pirates have. I do know they're disorganised, and they arent all that powerful. Knowing a bit more about the state of the Pirates would be useful.

      Lavrii Technologies

      Lavrii Shielding
      Lavrii shields are different in several aspects to standard shielding.
      Their shields are extremely weak, but recharge very quickly. As a result,
      Lavrii ships are destroyed when they are targetted by overwhelming
      firepower, and not by multiple encounters. Enemies who have attempted to
      take on the Lavrii one by one have been quickly destroyed. Another
      important note is that an attack which would usually destroy a Lavrii ship
      tends to only destroy the shielding - the armour is unaffected. This means
      that in general, at least two hits will be necessary to destroy one of
      their ships, but if the damage is three or more times greater than their
      shield capacity, this rule does not count.

      Lavrii Shield Regenerator
      Since Lavrii ships tend to trade heavy shielding for lightning fast shield
      recharge, they quickly realised that when targetted by very heavy weaponry,
      they would be at a serious disadvantage; and would likely be destroyed
      before their shields could recharge. As such, the Lavrii developed an
      add-on to their shield system, which draws their vessel‚s fuel and
      instantly recharges the ship‚s shields. As a result, Lavrii shields are
      able to stay on the field in critical situations.

      Lavrii Stellar Navy Weaponry

      Polaron Cannon/Battery
      The polaron cannon is the Lavrii‚s basic primary weapon. When they were
      attacked by the Akrahd, they quickly realised that their standard weaponry
      (which was before a type of thoron laser) would not be effective against
      such large numbers. They thus designed polaron weaponry, which as well as
      damaging the enemy, would also reduce the functuality of communications and
      sensors on their target. When under heavy fire, many Akrahd vessels are
      unable to detect anything beyond their ship, and have thus been completely
      unable to fire with any accuracy.

      Armor Damage: 25

      Shield Damage: 10

      Reload/Speed: Phase on both counts

      Polaron Wave Emitter
      This weapon emits waves of polarons similar to that in a polaron cannon.
      They make use of the „side effect‰ of the polaron cannon more than they do
      damage, although the wave emitter can also be useful for it‚s 360ş
      simultaneous fire. At relatively close range, wave emitters can disrupt
      both sensors and communications being sent through another ship‚s shields.
      Lavrii interceptors are known to enter Akrahd ranks under cover of heavier
      ships and completely cut off the Akrahd‚s ability to make tactical
      decisions. However, the waves must cover all sides of their target to have
      effect, and thus it is impossible for one Lavrii ship to disrupt another
      ship - it takes at least two (but a hundred can disrupt another hundred, if
      they are not destroyed first). They also have the side effect of bouncing
      away enemy ships quite a distance

      Armor Damage: 5

      Shield Damage: 0

      AS Torpedo
      The anti-shield torpedo is one of the Lavrii‚s oldest technologies - before
      they encounted the armour based Akrahd. Only their older ships actively
      employ this weapon. When it collides with shielding, the torpedo scramble‚s
      the shield frequency. The result of this is that the enemy cannot fire
      without damging their own shields, until the effects have worn off, after a
      minute or two. Against the Akrahd, these weapons have mostly proved
      effective at halting enemy fire, rather than being very useful to damage
      the enemy.

      Fusion Dart
      The fusion dart is a recently developed Lavrii munitional weapon. They are
      much smaller than their earlier AS torpedoes, and to make their small size
      inexpensive, they lack guiding systems. Fusion darts are launched out of
      Lavrii ships extremely fast - several times faster than the speed of a
      standard freefire rocket. They are thus capable of greater accuracy.
      However, the darts only effect armour, so beyond the Akrahd they would not
      be of particular use.

      Armor Damage: 45

      Shield Damage: 1

      Reload/Range: Javelin Rockets (EV)

      Polaron Heavy Laser
      The most powerful single weapon employed by the Lavrii is the polaron heavy
      laser. Only the heaviest of Lavrii vessels are capable of directing a
      discharge, although the energy of smaller ships can be drawn into the
      discharger to amplify the damage. The laser itself takes some time to
      charge, and at a minimum three interceptors must supply their energy. On
      average, if the four ships all keep together, the polaron heavy laser will
      fire every fourty seconds. The effects, as usual, scramble communications
      and sensors over a wide area, and when the target‚s shields are
      down they can scramble in-ship communications as well. They also have a
      second side-effect; it will immediately disable an enemy ships weapons for
      10-20 seconds, much like the Anti-Shield Torpedo does.

      Armor Damage: 300

      Shield: 100

      Reload/Range: 40 seconds if link is maintained / munitional range

      Polaron Disruptor
      Designed to help retreating Lavrii ships, the Polaron Disruptor shoots out a
      ball of compressed polaron energy in an ion lattice. Once the ion lattice
      degrades and eventually disappears, the polaron energy is released, creating
      an area of disrupted polaron energy. Weapons detonate when going through it,
      and homing weapons going near it are jammed, though communications are not
      really hampered. It is quite useful for retreating fleets, for anything that
      touches it is damaged or destroyed.

      Armor Damage: 50 per second

      Shield: 50 per second

      Reload/Range: Range and speed of a pursuit missile, with a rather slow
      reload

      Limpet Mine
      The limpet mine is one of the „afterthoughts‰ of a battle involving the
      Lavrii, and usually the Akrahd. They take special care to eliminate the
      shields of as many targets as possible before destroying them, so they can
      fire tiny robots known as „limpet mines‰ at the target‚s hull. The mines
      begin to tear apart the hull slowly, even after the battle is finished.
      They are virtually impossible to detect, and can do some serious damage.
      Eventually, they run out of power, and stop functioning. However, if an
      Akrahd fleet was to go into hyperspace, the chances are when it returned to
      realspace it‚s armour would be severely damaged.

      Armor Damage: 2

      Shield Damage: N/A

      Reload/Range: Firing; defence pods, primary range, In effect; damage per
      second, contact range

      Vaesk Warfleet Weapons

      Polaron Tractor Beam - Disables a ship slowly and has a very very powerful
      tug; almost impossible to escape from. The Vaesk use these a lot when trying
      to board enemy vessels.

      Proton Scatter Gun - Fires lots of balls of proton energy everywhere. Good
      melee weapon. Inaccurate, but fairly powerful. Average range.
      Shield Damage: 45
      Armor Damage: 45

      Concussion Blaster - Fires supercompressed balls of polaron energy at
      target. The impact power is something like 5000. Takes a while to reload.
      Average range.
      Shield Damage: 60
      Armor Damage: 60

      --
      Polaron Scatter Turret: 1/3
      Enhanced Heavy Polaron Beam: 7/8

    • Parliament Hill, Teh‘Rak

      -With the new Pathogen heavy warship, we can now begin the next chapter of the Great Expansion. Increase all Pathogen ship production so that we can fit them in the T.R.S.A. said Nedja Psack. Also, let the world know whom we are, all right!

      OCC:With Carno‘s info, I will not get rid of the Necromancer

      Pathogen Specification:

      Based on the Necromancer, it allies it excellent light frame for its class and more power. This enable the frigate to outmanoeuvre enemy ships of the same, or slightly smaller class. Good at long range with Rail Guns, Hurricanes and Storms as well as at short range with the batteries and the thoron weaponry.

      Shield: 1200;
      Armour:300;
      Recharge Rate: good for its class;
      Speed: (a bit less than an EVO Lazira);
      Acc: Good;
      Turning:140 degrees/s;
      Weapon System:
      -5 Medium Plasma Turreted Rail Guns;
      -4 Anti-Matter Batteries;
      -3 Heavy Thoron Turrets;
      -2 Storm Torpedo Tubes: 50;
      -2 Hurricane Missile Launchers: 50;
      -Will have the TEP;

      Harad

      The Pack had come to a halt and was securing the system from any possible intruders. Commander Bot Fess was in change of the First Pack and its mission to defend the T.R.S.T. from anyone. The T.R.S.T. was transporting the machinery and men to colonize the planets of Harad. In a few months, their hard work would have come to an end and many Teh’Rak would be able to profit from this new world like Teh’Rak Prime.

      OCC: I assume that the Valanor would have accepted our haulers passing by Outpost Nil‘Syria in direction of Harad, only a matter of time would have made this come true.

      Akrion III

      Now that the labs were had finished working on the Pathogen heavy frigate, a new endeavour awaited the scientist. The old anti-matter weaponry had to be upgraded to fit the evolving conditions of the battlefield. The main point is a more accurate targeting and integrated sensors to aim at secondary ordinance. The range would remain equal, as well as its power.

      Message to All Akrahd Clan , coded

      In order to conjugate our forces for the imperishable Akrahd blood through our veins, we need to be solid, strong, unmovable. Standing together will promote the end of Strand League, the Azdgari Imperial Raiders, the Lavrii Union.

      Therefore, a meeting should be orchestrated soon.

      Nedeja Psack,
      Akrahd Teh’Rak Clan Leader in Korellian II.
