Due to the success of the "Battle for Sol" and "When the Voinians Came" at the Escape Velocity and Override forums, I thought it might be a good idea to give this forum a try. There are no general rules, which should allow you to be somewhat flexible in what you do. Just make sure not to destroy someone's character without first receiving permission from them... Sound alright? Good. Then post away!
Info about me and my fleet:
Name: Captain Skyblade | Commander of the 12th Ishiman Brigade
Background: Graduated at the accademy for the military arts six years ago, has experience in warfare against the Gaitori and Cantharan aliens.
Race: Ishiman
Age: 25 human years
Current Location: Demeter (the capital of the Ishimans, I guess? ;)).
Fleet:
6 Heavy Destroyers, one of which is the Triton Corsair, Skyblade's flagship.
10 Gunships
12 Heavy Cruisers
25 Cruisers

Skyblade and the 12th brigade were on patrol within the Demeter system. Ishiman high command had released reports of Gaitori movement along the northern border, and the 12 brigade has been ordered to patrol the space just beyond the neutral zone. All was quiet... A little too quiet, perhaps.
"Captain Limburg, you got anything on your sensors?" Skyblade asked as he glanced at his computer screen.
"Nothing yet, sir," the captain of a Heavy Destroyer replied. "Long range sensors currently have no readings, with the exception of Ishiman cargo traffic within the perimeter. If you like, I could try conducti-..."
"What's that, captain?" Skyblade said, somewhat surprised at the pause.
"Cancel previous scanner reports, sir. I'm not picking up a Gaitori battlefleet in route to the Demeter system."
"That's us," Skyblade responded. "I'm now picking them up as well."
As the hostile fleet continued to get closer to the 12th's location, Skyblade's computer screen began to churn out additional data.
"Wow, we've got supper on the way," Skyblade said across the intercom. "Sensors reports 4 carriers, 4 heavy destroyers, 10 gunships, and 20 cruisers. Get ready for a big shoot out, and radio high command for reinforcements."
As the Gaitori fleet began to close in on the 12th's location, Skyblade and his fleet began to take up defensive positions. Boy, were the Gaitori in for a surprise upon exiting warp speed...
