OOC: Jager, OOC stands for "Out Of Context". We shouldn't be using it at all, that's what we have the discussion topic for. Personally, I think you should all work out your differences over AIM or E:Mail or on the discussion topic or something instead of cluttering up the actual writing site. But it's a new page, so I get to take another world! w00t w00t!
"To President Carnotaur of the Lethe Republic, from High Commander Shade of the Olympian Solidarity.
Unfortunately the Solidarity's own coffers are somewhat low at this point in time, and I do not feel that making such a loan would be financially viable for me.
Also, I have of course witnessed your actions against the Confederates; know that I will not become involved on either side.
Sincerely,
High Commander Shade of the Olympian Solidarity."
"To Prime Minister Ipvicus of the Confederation of Republican Worlds, from High Commander Shade of the Olympian Solidarity.
At this point in time I do not feel that it is in my best interests to aid you in your fight; the Solidarity will remain neutral in your conflict.
Sincerely,
High Commander Shade of the Olympian Solidarity."
"To Nick of Darven, from High commander Shade of the Olympian Solidarity.
Although it is not my place to advise you in matters of your alliances, I personally will not be entering the current conflict on either side. The Confederation is an opossum in a searchlight, and I will not feel the jolt when it is run over; the Solidarity will remain neutral in this conflict. Try it, you'd be suprised at what neutrality can do.
Sincerely,
High Commander Shade of the Olympian Solidarity."
Assault Fleet stats: ten Artemis, seven Athenas, four Kestrels, one Corvette, four Lightnings, and twelve Rapiers. Assault Fleet is in Arrakis.
The glowing holographic sphere of the local map surrounded Field Commander Eileen EcKenzie, the grey lines of hyperspace corridors running across her face. Reaching a VR - gauntleted hand into the map, she cut to the status of the Assault Fleet, in orbit of Dune.
The ships were tiny images around a dusty ball; ten Artemis, seven Athenas, four Kestrels, one Corvette, four Lightnings, and twelve Rapiers.
It was the work of a moment to have three Artemis, three Athenas and the four Lightnings remain in Arrakis, leaving six Artemis, four Athenas, four Kestrels, one Corvette, and twelve Rapiers, to attack the next target - Nemesis.
Arrakis --> Nemesis
The Nemesis defence fleet would be the Solidarity's toughest challenge yet; almost constantly on guard due to the neighbouring Independent Confederation of Worlds, it consisted of two Rebel Cruisers, fifteen Destroyers, and forty Mantas (not including the ten on the Cruisers).
The Olympian fleet used their tried-and-true method of pelting the enemy with torpedoes, while using their massed Proton fire to pick off the faster fighters. The Rebels replied with a hail of missiles and triangular Mantas.
Standing on the bridge of the Assault Fleet command ship, McKenzie took a quick tally of the losses; an Artemis, two Athenas and a Kestrel lost on their side, while the Rebels had lost twenty-two of their pitifully shielded fighters, and four Destroyers.
Then the remaining twenty-eight Mantas were being picked off by Proton turret fire as they flitted among the Olympian ships, hitting here and there with their lasers. While their Proton turrets were occupied with the Rebel Mantas, the Olympians kept their torpedo tubes hot, hammering at the Rebel Destroyers.
A second quick check revealed that all the Rebel Mantas had been destroyed, as well as a further five Rebel Destroyers, while the Rebels had taken down another Athena, the sole Corvette, and four Rapiers.
The Olympian turrets swung to fire at the remaining six Destroyers, hitting them with a double barrage of Proton fire and torpedos.
Under the withering hail the last Rebel Destroyers quickly fell, taking with them a single Artemis.
Now only the pair of Rebel Cruisers remained.
Their main advantage was their Mantas, and those were gone; now the Cruisers were looking decidedly outnumbered, a pitiful return salvo of missiles firing against the massive torpedo barrages the Olympians were delivering.
Finally the capital ships came into weapons range, and Olympian Proton turrets began to fire. Under the heavy fire, the Cruisers were quickly anhillated, but managed to take down a final Kestrel.
McKenzie marshalled the fleet; they now controlled Nemesis, but at the loss of 2 Artemis, 3 Athenas, 2 Kestrels, 1 Corvette and four Rapiers, leaving the Assault Fleet at 4 Artemis, 1 Athena, 2 Kestrels, and 8 Rapiers.
The Nemesis System Has Been Annexed By The Olympian Solidarity
