The Gamelon carrier Revenge escorted by at least 25 long range fighters headed towards the recently colonized New Russian planet, Eden. Directly in it's path were the Romancer and the Twilight, modified crew transports, with only a handful of armament. Still, with these being the only hope for New Russia.

This hadn't been the first time that the Gamelon had attacked the colonists. There had been at least seven attacks during the trek to the planet alone. All of them without warning or reason. These attacks had become greatly feared as the Gamelon possessed technology more advanced than what most of the colonists had seen, from shielding to hyperdrives.

Now, with only thrity-five minutes until the Gamelon were in firing range, the crews of the Romancer and the Twilight knew this was the moment of truth. Even though they had been sending out distress calls for the last six hours, there had been no response or re-enforcements sent, leaving the hopes of New Russia lying on two small vessels.

A message comes over an open channel to the Twilight.
"This is the Xanthalian Armada vessel XAS-30. We have recieved your distress call and are changing course to intercept, ETA twenty minutes. Can you provide more details on your situation?"

A message was sent in response to the distress call. "This is the Teritoran Space Police Patrol Battle Cruiser Lord Geran, we are on our way and request to know the nature of your problem."

A battle group already in action, now releived of their original duty are given orders to go to the beseiged system. The battle group consists of 3 Missile Boat/Patrol Boat teams and 3 Escorts.

Communications to The New Russia

This is Admiral Henderson, Independant Pluto Fleet Commander. Your message has been received, and ships have been dispatched. They ought to show up in about two hours.

The group jumped to hyperspace.

OOC: Man, sorry for the lack of updates, but nobody replied so I kind of let it slide. I'll post the bulk of my replies tomorrow, after I've gotten a good supply of Inu Yasha and sleep.

OOC: Ah, sorry I'm late all, but it is getting close to finals. Anyways, here is an all encompassing update.

IC:
<Onboard the Romacer>

"Captain," and attendant said, "We're receiving multiple responses with varying ETA's." Captain Juses sighed a sigh of relief and messaged to the Twilight, "This is the Romancer, I don't know if you just heard that, but we have multiple re-enforcements on the way. We just need to hold them off for at least 20 minutes. If that Xanthalian ship gets here, we're going to be somewhat safe."

The Gamelon ships, now nearly in range, the situation seemed much less bleak than it did before. The long range fighters we closest, but had little in the way of shielding, making for easy targets, but the Revenge was another story. The revenge itself had at least 18 cannons, providing a near complete defensive shield, with a select few blind spots.


"This is the Xanthalian Armada vessel XAS-30. We have recieved your distress call and are changing course to intercept, ETA twenty minutes. Can you provide more details on your situation?"


"This is the New Russian Crew Transport Romantic, we are about to engage a group of Gamelon vessels including the Carrier Revenge. Our previous encounters suggest that the revenge is extremely heavily armed, with at least 18 cannons and the ability to launch up to 15 Sparrow class fighters. We suspect that the Revenge is carrying a full complement of these craft."

Without warning, the decks of the Revenge's launch platform split open, and an long object began to rise from the lower decks of the ship. A large weapon, a gun of some kind was revealed. The outer plating of the weapon began to glow, and a massive beam was released, piercing the hulls of 3 Stasis ship, and continuing down to the planet, where it stuck the oceans. The massive stasis ships began to fall towards the planet, breaking apart and burning up in the atmosphere. "Oh shit..." came the voice of Captain Juses.

The Patrol Battle Cruiser Lord Geran sent its Gestsa drive to maxinum as it headed for the location of the signal. A message was sent. "We got an arrival time of 16 minutes."

XAS-30 arrives just in time to see the event.
"Holy crap! Please don't tell me they're doing what it looks like they're doing!"
"Sorry Sir, seems so."
"Red alert, all hands to battlestations! Engage the Revenge as soon as we're within range."

The Intrepid class vessel begins firing it's few but powerful weapons at the offending craft, using it's small size and high maneuverability to make itself a difficult target.

OCC: * Means pyschic communication. Assume that we had some high level pysches, telepaths, etc. training out there in space.
*We feel your pain. What can we do to help?*

The Patrol Battle Cruiser Lord Geran shortly after, raised sheilds and attacked the Carrier Revenge puting its speed and manuverablity to good use in its attack.

The Twilight sent an automated, audio-only message to the XAS-30. "This is the Twilight's onbaord EI. Please note that the Gamelon vessel has high-strength shielding and is possibly carrying hyperspace based weaponry. Exercise extreme caution when approching the vessel." The message ended, while the Romancer and Twilight began to fire on the Revenge

OOC2: As these guys are sort of my own, I'll be RP'ing their side as well.

IC2:
The shots from the XAS-30 smashed against the shields of the Revenge with only a fraction of the energy from the shots making it through. Inside the ship, in one of the hangars, a team of 12 Gamelon soldiers, wearing some kind of powersuits approached a hyperspace gateway.

The gateway, unbeknownst to the crew of the Twilight, led right into the Twilight's engine room. As the soldiers entered the gateway, they almost instantly emerged into the slow moving Twilight's engine room. The soldiers moved swiftly and mericlessly, projecting the venom from two glands just above their noses, temporarily blinding the engine room crew, and then proceeded to gut them.

"We are detecting intruders on the Twilight. Please advise."

To Xanthalian Armada Command: "This is XAS-30. Request immediate reinforcements."

"We are detecting intruders on the Twilight. Please advise."

To Xanthalian Armada Command: "This is XAS-30. Request immediate reinforcements."

By the time the message had been relayed to the Twilight, almost all of the crew, mostly concentrated to the engine room and bridge had been slaughtered, leaving the ship to the "hands" of the onbard AI.

"This is the Twilight's onboard EI. The control of the Twilight has been compromised, and all systems have been locked, and control has been relinquished to me. I am attempting to disable the intruders as we speak."

Inside the ship, now with no humn life, the onboard EI began to depressurize the inside of the ship. The Gamelon powersuits, not designed for vacuum environments could not protect the invading force causing them to die within several minutes.

The newly arrived Patrol Battle Cruiser Lord Geran tried to hail the Twilight find out what is going on.

"Understood. If we can help at all, just let us know."
XAS-30 continues it's assault on the Revenge.
