Eyes of Fire
Chapter 19: From East to West
Apert
"Reverting to realspace in three...two...one...mark!"
The multicolored maelstrom that was the visual representation of hyperspace collapsed around the front viewplate into an array of elongated blue line segments that quickly shrank down to pinpoints of light that marked the origins of ages-old light. The part of the Alliance First Fleet that had been sent here to Apert to reconfigure the station into a proper Alliance base quickly entered orbit around the charred husk of what was once Outpost Rai.
Supreme Commander Zathe ek Daal found it fitting that the Alliance should now possess Outpost Rai, once a renegade outpost that the Azdgari captured, now a piece of Alliance territory thanks to a clause in the Igadzra/Alliance treaty. Death Commandos and legions of engineering teams were dispatched to begin repairs on the station. The sheer number of skilled workers present would allow the task to be accomplished quickly. In the meantime, Zathe would have the fleet practice maneuevers with the new technology recently installed across their ships, straight from the Research Directorates. Thanks to the hyperwave relays, they had been able to use onboard materials to assemble the equipment themselves. By now the entire Alliance Armada was outfitted with Emerald Fires Mk. II Reactors and Hyperwave Relay Mk. II's, and all systems under Alliance jurisdiction other than Hrinix and Apert had sensor distorters installed in them now. The installation of a sensor distorter in any system captured by the Alliance would from now on be standard military procedure, and would be part of the remodeling of Outpost Rai.

Riomor
The Alliance Second Fleet jumped into Riomor, having been refitted with new swarm missiles after the newly initiated Alliance Eleventh Fleet had relieved them in Yelts while simultaneously unloading ammunition for their cycleswarm tubes. General Kon ek Gael was leading the assault on the human renegades in this system, and as far as he knew, he was eliminating the last shred of the human renegade menace in the region, since the sensor logs from Yelts did not reveal the Pariah infestation. 20 Crescent Warships, 32 Laziras, and 20 Aradas quickly charged their inferno weaponry as a precaution, even as the laziras and warships emptied their launchers of swarm missiles. 2720 swarm missiles streaked from the Alliance fleet into the renegade lines, utterly annihilating their less advanced ships. The General quickly dispatched hordes of assault shuttles to take Freeport. Within a day the entire station had been pacified, with the shipyards taken intact. Alliance engineers and techs quickly set about modifying the construction facilities so as to make Alliance vessels. General Kon was most pleased that there was no longer a renegade threat in the system. Already his men had installed a sensor distorter on Gorky, and one was being fitted to Freeport as well. Hyperwave relay stations allowed for a good communication structure across Alliance territory, and Kon sent a message to the Supreme Commander detailing their successes in the region of Yelts and Riomor.

Alliance Research
Gerec
Emerald Fires Mk.III: Work is still focused on the Emerald Fires reactors in Gerec. Researcher Inti's scientists have reported consistent projections saying the reactor could be further improved, allowing for extremely efficient fuel regeneration, or either excellent shield regeneration boosts or higly increased power to the weapons systems. The new reactor, when finished, will weigh no less than the originals, and will be installed in all Alliance ships at the date of completion and will be installed in all Alliance ships after this point. This is to be the final version of the Emerald Fires reactor. (Note: this will be a cumulative of 15 RTDs) (Begun: 4/26/03) (End: 5/1/03)
STS Research Directorate
Nebula Penetration Device: Seeing as the Alliance have no formal contact with the Miranu and would know nothing of their development of this project in order to expedite their own research, the Alliance scientists at STS are planning on building an identical array for exploration of the Proxima Nebula. Since it is merely a more advanced sensor array, the NPD is predicted to weigh relatively little, and will thus not even account for 1 ton of a ship's mass. (Begun: 4/26/03) (End: 5/1/03)
Prometheus Flamus
Engineering-Outpost Rai: In Apert, work will be focused on bringing Outpost Rai back online. It will be a fully functional Alliance shipyard, meaning it shall construct 2 Crescent Warships and 3 Laziras per RTD. It will, like all other Alliance shipyards, be equipped with a full battery of inferno weaponry and a large array of cycleswarm missile launcher tubes. (Begun: 4/26/03) (End: 5/1/03)
------------------
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
