Stror

The Azdgari fleet, without the benefit of any long range sensors nearby, obviously knew nothing of the station that had just been constructed in Stror. The small Azdgari fleet arrived, and found the station floating in space, apparently all alone.

It was the last thing they ever saw, as 52 Igazras decloaked a fair bit beyond phase cannon range and opened fire with their spinal beams.

Put simply, it was a massacre. With 2 beams targetted on each Azdara, and 14 targetting each Warship, The Azdaras exploded in under a second, a single spinal beam being able to take an Azdara out at the close range. The Warships didnt last much longer, the spinal beams massed fire delivering enough energy to turn them into cooling clouds of vapour, quickly dispersing into space.

The fleet will also run scans into what was Zidagar space to see what is going on." took 11 days the first 1/4 part of the 3rd RTD they entered Grivok

The Azdgari fleet left Raigar early in the afternoon. The fleet was loaded with enough supplies to set up a listening post on Stror. They jumped into the Grivok system in a defensive cone formation. They were on high alert and saw a strange object. It appeared to be a station. They used their sensors to scan for enemy ships and realized that they had gotten there before any defense fleets. The station distinctly reaked of Iggys and by looking at the docking bays could tell it was for military use. Besides the Miranu always told other nations if a trading post was constructed so that the other strands would leave it alone. The Azdgari scouting party quickly ripped apart the station, after evacuating all the workers and sending them on a Miranu vessel bound for Threefrog. Just then their sensors picked up an incoming fleet they quickly entered hyperspace for Vethair. They sent a report back to Raigar telling of the incident and the lack of ships in the Zidagar systems they scanned. They scanned the systems surrounding Vethair and headed for stror hoping that their enemies would not meet them there. They entered the system in cone formation keeping the Azdgari Warships on the inside. They saw another station there with similar markings. The fleet was interested only in setting up their listening post though and started for the center of the system. They then noticed that there were some Voinain ships in the system that seemed to be taking care of the station (ooc: didn't you retreat there Paranoid? If not forget it). Just then Iggy ships appeared all around them. The ships sent a new kind of beam that they had never witnesses and destoryed the Azdaras. The G2 Azdaras immediantly took evasive measures by using the base of the cone to escape from. The Iggys were not able to place them selves very well around the fast moving cone so this allowed for them to escape. The Azdgari Warships where temporarily shielded by the cone but soon they also fell to the beam. The nearly destroyed 2 G2 Azdaras that escaped started sending information back to Raigar. They had been massively damaged but due to their speed and shields were able to escape. The 2 G2 Azdaras had little armor left but where quickly zooming away from the slow Iggy fleet. They were startled by the new cloaking technology and these beam things. As they retreated farther back into the system they thought there sensors may have picked up the launch of SAEs. They were far enough away that if any were fired they could take the evasive U manuever.

Current ships in raigar only with recent production facilities: Azdgari Warships:72 Azdgari Aradas: 35 Azdaras: 295 G2 Azdaras: 260 (two days production: 18 AWs per RTD, 25 Azdaras per RTD, 25 G2Azdaras per RTD)

In raigar the ships of the Miranu, Voinians, Zachit, Azdgari, and of course a now semi famous renegade killer called Seleria formed a colilition that rivaled anything else seen before. The variaties of ships added to their power. The Azdgari had supplied 50 Azdgari Warhips, 35 Azdara Aradas (ooc: can anyone I am trying to mothball this design ;), 250 G2 Azdaras, and 250 Azdaras. The colilition jumped into the system using the previously designed plan (bottom of page 4). The plan could change if something went wrong with it and there was always room for improvisation. The Azdgari supplied Seleria with a super strong escort of 10 G2 Azdgaras, which are basically fast destroyers, and 5 Azdgari Aradas.

In order to scout out where the Voinians come from, albiet from a general direction, a small scouting fleet has been sent out. It has already arrived in a system claimed by a primitive race calling itself the UE. Witht he information gleaned, a message has been sent to this race asking who they are, and if they know who these Voinians are.

A low powered LIDAR array will be intergrated with the outer shell of the SAE, the low power and short duration meant for use ensuring the array can be fitted in the SAE shell. The comm systems currently in every SAE will be enhanced allowing remote control from a Hegemony fleet, protected by randomly modulating frequencies, ensuring the enemy can not gain control through any hacking efforts.

With full data on the Zidagar ECM availible to all relevent Hegemony scientists, it has been decided to expand, improve, and update the ECM for these times. The old Zidagar ECM will form the core of the new system, but it will also include active decoy systems, and a few other ideas. Most noticeable will be the inclusion of a ship based Sensor Distorter, ensuring enemy long range sensors are never able to pick up what a Hegemony fleet is composed of. It is hoped that at long range within a star system, the distorter will actively prevent enemy fleets knowing exactly where a hegemony fleet is, apart from being in a general direction.

Research is progressing rather nicely on all projects, with the only small exception being that they will take a bit longer to complete due to enhancements to the designs. In the meantime, ship production continues to pour out more vessels to defend the systems of the Zidagar territories. With the new ships, the government is at last able to form an admittedly small defense fleet for all their systems. In addition to this, the 1st Zidagar Armada has also been assembled.

Defense Fleet (for each system) :
1 Zidagar Carrier (12 remaining)
3 Zidagar Aradas (11 remaining)
7 Zidagar Fighters (9 remaining)
11 Zidagar Zidaras (7 remaining)

1st Zidagar Armada - Zidagar System
12 Zidagar Carriers
11 Zidagar Aradas
9 Zidagar Fighters
7 Zidagar Zidaras

While not yet extremely powerful, this showed that the Zidagar territories were quickly recouperating from the devastation and blundering wreaked by their previous leader. Syar had no intention of repeating the mistakes of the previous leader.

Projects

Project 1: Phase Weaponry Enhancement - 2 RTD (completed on 9th of May)
By incorporating phased beam and some spinal beam technology into Phase Weaponry, Igadzra and Zidagar scientists are beginning research on a new version of Phase Weaponry. Its range is extremely enhanced, and damaged is also slightly improved. However, as research has progressed, additional enhancements to the design of the weaponry upgrade have been suggested, most notably in the area of reload time and armor damage. It will now be finished in 2 RTD.

Project 2: Spinal Beam Enhancement - 2 RTD (completed on 9th of May)
Now that the Igadzra have phase beam technology, scientists have begun work on incorporating its technology into the Spinal Beam. The enhancement will greatly increase its damage, especially in the area of armor damage. Due to an adjustment to the design pertaining to the design which will make it much more energy efficient with a tiny boost in range, research time has been extended by 1 RTD.

Project 3: SAE-G (Gravitic) - 2 RTD (completed on 9th of May)
The next leap in SAE technology; the SAE-G. The SAE-G is equipped with a special gravitic warhead in addition to its slightly downsized standard warhead. This results in massive armor damage in addition to its standard shield and armor damage. Excellent for combat against Voinians, the SAE-G is extremely deadly. In order to incorporate additional range into the warhead, an additional RTD has been added to research time.

“Finally” was the first thing Seleria thought when she jumped into the Hrekka system. Hyperion and it’s escort immediately pulled away from the main battle group and parked at the edge of the system, away from the fighting. Seleria allowed herself a small grin as her escort spread out to cover her. ”Looks like I’m finally getting appreciated around here,” she thought happily. Settling down and typing furiously, she hacked into North Tip Station’s computers and planted a bug, which would tap any computer activity which happened in the station, and alert Hyperion’s computer to what was happening. Itching to fight, she reached for the battle controls, but then changed her mind, deciding that it would be important to know where in the computer the self destruct feature was located, in case she had to shut it down in a hurry. After a few more minutes she located the detonation system, and memorized how to reach it again. Looking at her watch, she swore again, realizing how long she had been sitting there. It had been almost an hour and a half since the beginning of the fight. Seleria had been far enough away from the battle that she hadn’t been noticed yet, but that was soon to change. At full speed, Hyperion and it’s escort turned and headed towards the fight.

Alenia's fingers tapped, a grimace fixed on her face. The Voinians and Igadzra fighting, the two messages contradicting each other, and the implied threat in the Igadzra message about the strands being whole. That didn't matter, she had already promised the Azdgari she would take the world they had left if they wanted her to, and that the battle of Chak was lost.

Alenia's fingers stopped tapping, the grimace now a regretful frown. From reports weeks ago from traders that had come from the area, the Igadzra were telling the truth of Diudir and Apert. Why the Azdgari had sent her the message about those two planets now, she did not know. Her people had been all ready to pack up and move to new, basically unexplored(economically speaking) planets. Once in awhile Alenia got a strong suspicion that her people purposely acted like children to make her angry. When they got disappointed by the message from the Igadzra, they had complained for week, complaints coming from short littlle messages left on her desk to hour long video messages. Of course, she didn't listen to many of them, she had heard many of the complaints before. The Shartlę thought it was funny, but anything that caused Alenia annoyance was funny to them.

And of course, their was the nebula. It had finally been fully explored, and there was one habitable planet there, deep in the nebula. This was less than hoped for, but more than expected. And apparently the penetration device had reached it's limit. At the time, they could not jump to anymore systems much past the outer edge of the nebula. now this planet, which had been given the designation F-25, was the only good thing that had come from this exploration. now they had to decide what to do with this planet. They would eventually have to share this news, and the Nebula penetration device. And there was the southern nebula. If the UE diplomat had been active, they perhaps would have come up with some kind of deal with them. They were the closest to the southern nebula that the Miranu knew of, besides the Strandless.

-Azdgari upgrade

Comments: This is a marking of the first strand using the Lazira for the first time. The Azdgari have massively upgraded. This new design was brought about by the opressive nature of the other strands. This ship has the armor strength of a Voinian Supply Ship, who the Azdgari have recently become very friendly with. Also the upgraded shields are necessary to survive in a new and very dangerous universe. The shields are almost as good as the Cresent Warship. Also most of the cargo space has been very effectively converted into weapons space, and the normal outfits have been removed to make way for the different varients of this new vessel. Also this version has removed many unnecessary appliances necessary for trading but useless for war. All this and it still maintains a very acceptable speed. The wiring has been reworked to allow for the firepower of a cresent warship ie: 4 guns/turrets
This ship is not actually made it is just the base for the three other variants.

Heavy Missile Variant:
-Azdgari Jamming device
-Azdgari Shield Recharger
-4 phase turrets
-Density Scanner
-IFF Decoder
-Escape Pod/Self Destruct
-Afterburner
-SAD Lanuncer
-20 SAD's
-1 Azdgari Cosmic Ray Missile Launcher (remember they aren’t actually the rays, it is just the name) (10 tons)
-3 Azdgari Cosmic Ray Missiles (3 tons a piece)
-Infernus Flame LauncherX3
-41 packets= 205 Missiles
-Dospect Armour

Notes: The Heavy Missile Variant is self-explanatory. The main reason for this ships design was the weakness of the Azdgari on the projectile area. Unlike many Azdgari ships this does not contain a traditional dispersal rocket launcher because the Infernus Flame is more effective. The Voinian Armor also helps to defend in the Cresent due to the fact that most weapons are shield oriented.

VAzdgari Lazira:
-Azdgari Jamming device
-Azdgari Shield Recharger
-4 Neutron turrets
-Density Scanner
-IFF Decoder
-Escape Pod/Self Destruct
-Afterburner
-Infernus Flame LauncherX2
-Packet of 10= 50 missiles
-Bronev plating
-Dospect Armor
-Shield CompactorsX2

This Lazira variant was designed to have the benefits of a Voinian ship: the armor and neutron turrets while still having good speed and good shields. The Bronev Plating and Dospect Armor are pretty bulky but are very strong and it took the Azdgari engineers some hard thinking to keep it from running like a Voinian ship.

LRAC (Long Range Attack Craft):
-Azdgari Jamming device
-Azdgari Shield Recharger
-Phase TurretsX3
-Density Scanner
-IFF Decoder
-Escape Pod/Self Destruct
-Afterburner
-200MM Rail gunX4
-Miranu Defense System
-Defense PodsX10
-Dospect Armor

This ship is the first ship that takes full advantage of the 200MM rail gun. With its long rang this ship can sit back and fire at the enemy. It is designed to be supported by the Vazdgari Lazira Variant because it only has 3 phase turrets. This because the ship needs the Dospect Armor, Afterburner, Defense System, and the Azdgari Jamming device to keep from being destroyed by long rang homing missiles.

Vornak steps out of his Kirokka and into the meeting hall. A supply ship had emptied it's cargo hold and was being used as a temporary hall for a session between strategists and the council. One speaker is presently holding the attention of the hall, a male of relatively miniscule stature, physically. "I hold the research of the Oukyel and I believe that we can win this war." His name was Yihka and he headed the strategists in inventive tactics.
Another male stepped up, Kouta "I urge you to consider the UE before we launch an offensive into ground."
"Have you become human fool! Our leader pledged to protect the Zidagar of Station Symbion he must launch the assault." Another voice cries out, a female named Poiw.
"His judgement was unclear we must replace him from the pinnacle.!"
Everyone in the room turns to Vornak. "Brethren, you know that I am able to lead. You know in fact that I am best fit to lead you. You also know that we as a government can never break our word any more then we as individuals can. Even if you replace me you will have to take the system back at all costs. A truth was told if The Race begins lying, what will we be. That answer is simple, Human."
There is a contemplating pause and then the audience comes to the obvious solution.

"Paranoia is Life"

All three of the latest research projects have at last been finished, and the designs and technical schematics are immediately being forwarded to Hegemony High Command. A refit is soon scheduled for the entire Zidagar Territories fleet for the implimentation of the various techs which the Hegemony has researched in recent weeks, as well as the addition of more traditional weapons, such as the SAE (and its new optional warhead the SAE-G).

One of the better techs recently researched is the SAE-G, with one of the more unique aspects to the design being that an SAE-G can be transformed into an SAE, and vice versa. This comes from the extra research time put into designing the Gravitic warhead as easy to install and remove, even in the middle of combat. That way, Igadzra and Zidagar vessels can instantly change their compliment of SAEs into SAE-Gs, one use being for use against the Voinians.

The other two projects concentrated on weapons upgrades. The Spinal Beam has been upgraded in the areas of energy efficiency, and damage (especially armor damage). Phase Weaponry is also considerably nastier, as its reload has been quickened, and its damage and range also increased.

Ship production continues, and is scheduled to be increased by a shipyard upgrade. With the numbers of availible ships constantly changing, the size and composition of the defense fleets changes as well. One of the more erratic ship counts is that of the Zidagar First Armada. Currently nothing more than a simple defensive reserve, the First Armada sucks up whatever ships cannot be put into defense fleets. Once defense fleets have been stabilized and reinforced, however, the First Armada will then recieve the entirety of the shipyard production.

Alenia smiled, obviously the Azdgari were under a lot of stress, perhaps someone had become delusional. it did not matter, the wishes of another government who was crying out for help could not be ignored. She did not like the Igadzra's threat, but she would not back down from a deal. This might end badly.

She looked at the new map, that one that had F-25. If worst came to worse, they were the only ones who could get there right now, and if times looked bad, they could perhaps research a way to get past that invisible wall that stopped them from seeing and jumping to systems beyond. It was time to start planning ahead, and to guard that device and it's blueprints with everything they could.

(Our deal is indeed still on, though it has become dangerous. The Igadzra do not appreciate this, and have sent messages warning us to stay away. If you lose the battle of Chak and we take the systems, fighting will still go on. We will entreat the Zachit for their help as well if the Battle of Chak is lost. We also hope you don't mind that the Zachit get the military facilities if you give us the systems. Anyone you could contact would also be appreciated. It will be a trying war for you, whether you win or lose this battle.)

But, I suppose you can not wish that either.-)

Those two messages done, Alenia turned , turning her direction towards the Zachit instead of the Strands. This was not as stressing as trying to deal with the Igadzra, since the Zachit didn't want to kill everyone.

We would like to ask you if you would help us if the time comes and we have to fight. We would give you the military facilities on those planets, and for the duration of the war, you may have the shipyard production. In non-war times we would share the shipyards. We are not good at war, so we will need help if it comes to a war against the destructive Igadzra. Is this acceptable?+)

Alenia sighed, standing up. She needed to go for a walk. She left her office, ignoring the startled looks from the staff. She went outside, looking at the beautiful sky of Mira. Her planet, so peaceful. Would they soon be trying to struggle over to new planets, where then many would probably watch the sky in worry, wondering if their friends would come back? Alenia hoped not, she did not want to see her home in grief. It was happy place for her, would it still be happy if everyone watched their friends go off to die in far off skies.

Alenia pushed the thoughts away. She should not think of those things, it was not even decided if they would even be going to the Azdgari space. There was a chance that the deal would not matter, that the Azdgari could win the battle of Chak. If not, the Miranu would have to turn their attention away from their business of trading and inner politics, and to keeping the promise they had made.

We have begun using your jammers and they appear to be of highest quality. Our scientists have begun testing a variant of your Azdgari cannon designs and we should send you the designs soon. I believe that we may need to coordinate an assault on Stror. We will discuss more on your terms.

The Hegemony has no wish to battle with the Miranu. It merely wishes to prevent Hegemony citizens being ruled by any outsiders. The only way the Azdgari will be free is when they are ruled by themselves alongside the rest of the strands. The Hegemony will not allow a crazy few to hide behind your protection while they attempt to destroy the peace we are creating.

The Hegemony wishes for trade to continue, but if you continue with this decision, the Hegemony will cut all ties and consider the Miranu and its allies to be a hostile state. The decision of whether you wish your people to enter into a needless war is yours.

Igadzra - Hegemony capital
Igadzra Scientific Institute

Deep in the innards of the primary Research and Development base the Hegemony possesed, work was being carried out. With all the work being done lately to ensure Zidagar technology could be meshed with Igadzra technology safely and easily, little time had been given to other considerations. Minor research projects had ground to a halt, basic activities put to the side while minds focused on the task at hand. Now that all that was done, the Hegemonies scientists were taking a break. The Director of the Institute, having barred all unimportant messages sent to him or the Institute sat down at hios desk, and brought up a display showing the few thousand messages that had been sent to him. It'd certainly take some time to go through them all.

Scanning through them quickly, he noticed one from the Akrayhek Alliance. Wondering what such a puny force could have that was of interest to him, he opened the messaged and glanced over it.

Several minutes later, having exhausted his store of swear words, he sent out an urgent message to Hegemony Military Command. Whether the news would please them, or cause them to hang him from a tree for the oversight, he wasnt sure. He did know that any more delays wouldnt be good though.

(OOC:Solel reminded me he was sharing tech...)

All 3 Project slots assigned to fleet refit
All Igadzra designed fleet units are being refitted with the improved hyperdrive, enhanced phase weaponry, the Hegemony Jammer, and the Igazras Spinal beam is being upgraded.

Also being refitted, added into the plans essentially at the last moment, is an Akrayehk Alliance Technology, the Emerald Fire reactor. Projections show this will increase base shield power, allow greater shield regeneration, and improve weaponry firepower considerably. Fuel generation will be extremely high, allowing for much more endurance from hegemony ships. It is a pity the Alliances upgrade to phase weaponry was not known before, since it shows several ways the upgrade Hegemony Phase weaponry could be further improved. Since the refit schedule has already been approved however, it has been decided to leave the inclusion of these improvements until the next refit.

With research now complete on aiding the Igadzra in researching the Hegemony Jammer, the research department is being given a break, and the construction section is being given a big job; a major refit of the Zidagar Fleet. The refit will fully update the Zidagar fleet and make extremely formidable to any foe who would try and go up against it.

The defense fleets are also being reorganized. Whereas before all systems had their own defense fleets, the system is now being revised as to only equip the border systems and capitol with defense fleets. This is because, firstly, ships were spread so thin amongst so many systems, a determined attack could easily overrun a colonies defense ship. The second reason being that many systems simply aren't in any way in danger with border systems to protect them. The new defense fleets are currently being arranged in the following systems; Zidagar, Saffera, Twyus, Neeg, Pozdag, Qerid, Yerdor, Plogok, Fluron, and Terapin. A total of ten systems. This has, of course, met with the possibly disadvantageous effect of forcing the temporary disbanding of the 1st Zidagar Armada, which will be reformed at a later time.

Projects 1, 2, & 3: Zidagar Fleet Refit - 3 RTDs (complete on the 13th)
The Zidagar fleet, while formidable, still lacks a number of technologies that have recently been researched or have only been availible to the Igadzra beforehand. The Zidagar Territories government is now working on implimenting these many technologies into their fleets. The newly implimented technologies include; SAEs, SAE-Gs, Spinal Beams, Emerald Fire Generators, the Hegemony Jammer, Enhanced Phase Weaponry, and many other Igadzra and Zidagar technologies.
