Sketch

I would love to participate. My last three RPs all died (because of people being too busy to post) and I've been looking for a good one to get involved in. The Guanyan government would probably support the old Xanthalian government, sending ships to remove the military usurpers from power.

Excellent, strike up one for the Republic. Note to participants: Don't feel obligated to be on the Republic's side. I want at least a few people on the military's side.

If I have time, what little Ruhrian Imperial Navy Corps can help, as long as there is ground assaults as well :)

The military side, por favor.

Ruhr: It's all up to you how you play this one. I'm going for a no-holds-barred war; the first Xanthal has ever seen.

Ruhr: It's all up to you how you play this one. I'm going for a no-holds-barred war; the first Xanthal has ever seen.

Some things never change...Now, I have no shields. Your Military might need to 'help' me technologically. I have FTL, just no shields ;)

By the way, to all those joining or considering joining:

INVITE OTHER NATIONS!

Ooo, tricky choice here. I'm obligated to help Ruhr because we're in the BDI together, but then I was once in the IDI with Xanthal, but then I also had tensions with him, but then if Xanthal is now a republic, I'm obligated to helping the loyalists. Tricky indeed.

Arr! Join the Military! The General public needs a beatin!

Tricky indeed.It's up to you. If you can't decide, I'll put you on the side with the least people.

Couple questions I forgot to ask:

Will there be space tech battles involved?

If not, will it be open battle or more commando-style for supporting nations?

Is Robo-tech allowed in this RP or is the groundside restricted to basically modern with a few futuristic weapons?


And Ruhr, I might be interested in helping you with fleet improvements, i.e. shields, as well.

Is Robo-tech allowed in this RP or is the groundside restricted to basically modern with a few futuristic weapons?It can be whatever you want it to be. The thing will be mostly future tech, but if you can find a way to get involved with modern tech you're welcome to do it.

I'm space tech, which is why I was wondering if I would have to restrict my RPs to avoid that. I'm fine with future.

I'll be back soon! Keep it going! Pick your sides! Or play both sides! It's up to you!

To keep it as even as possible, I'm going to support the republic

As a protectorate of Xanthal, I should probably support the republic... but awhell.

I r teh supportz0rz of teh military.

Sounds good Xanthal

Hm tough choice... but I can't stand having military dictatorships. Though they couldn't be much weirder than that supercomp/mindreader. Not to say the Comp wasn't a good form of gov't, just weird.

DNS will side with the Republic.

Added, added, and added. Welcome aboard the RP. I'll probably start it off slowly, with the military plotting along with it's allies. Then it'll pick up and the coup will occur. That's when the Republic supporters will jump in.

since rtuhr is supporting military i'll help miltary as well.

Okay then.

Can we have some more background on the reasons for this? what are the militaries political veiws?

The military is in it for power and for the increased militarization of Xanthal. They'll be attacking your world's government too, since you are a protectorate of Xanthal.

"Rebel! Rebel!"

~Random Newspaper

I should very much like to throw my lot in with the Republic Supporters.

We'll back the Military. We are loading the following in to transport vessels -

1st B.A.B. (Battle Armor Batallion) (Each Batallion consists of 768 Soldiers)
12th B.A.B.
13th B.A.B.
22nd B.A.B.
81st GroundPounder Batallion
82nd GroundPounder Batallion
146th Blackjack Skysword Wing (144 Fighters)
158th Triple-Seven Skysword Wing (144 Fighters)
Liberty Fleet Bravo (One Freedom-class Starfleets, two Chaos-class Starfleets)
Liberty Fleet Charlie

More to come.

We have wired approximately 50 Billion to the Xanthal Military to buy supplies and weapons.

Kecha: Welcome to the cause.

Foe Hammer: You're certainly ambitious... What's in it for you that you'd devote so much to the rebellion?

Xanthal: Good to be here, once IDI, always IDI, fear not, for though the Republic Supporters may seem outnumbered, they have Kechan warriors at their sides!

Kecha: Welcome to the cause.

Foe Hammer: You're certainly ambitious... What's in it for you that you'd devote so much to the rebellion?

OOC: Iunno. I'm bored. I haven't been in a war in a long time. Plus I wanna test out my new kick-ass battlearmor.

Count Teritora in on the Republics side we could not allow a friend to face such odds with out help.

We the Race of Trasa shall NOT get involved, for we have no buisness in this, we are staying in our region of space and all ships entering the WY and the Yuria system shall be destroyed.

this means you can write me down as Neutral.

OOC: I didn't want to spoil it, but to explain my intentions, I'm planning on "switching sides" when the war starts, AKA, getting access to the Military's base, killing the rebellious bastards, then joining the Republic's wariors in kicking their asses.

We will Surport the Rebel forces.

King Tordor the XL

The Hell you will, I will have you impaled on a round stake and all your commanders spaced out an Air Lock.

Queen Seria the IX

OOC: Foe Hammer, I'm pleased to hear this from you, I intend to join with the Republic, and stay with them, I'm going to preserve the Republic if I must blow up whole Systems to do it!

I'm not sure I want to be on the same side as Kecha... :shock:

Belive me you don't want to be on the other side from Kecha expecally when they get together with the Teritorans, Hakari and other IDI nations...

I'm not sure I want to be on the same side as Kecha... :shock:

OOC: Sometimes you gotta' stand up, and fry somebody's sorry @$$!!!

IC: A message has been sent to the Republic Supporters, asking them, in short, what they need at the moment.

Belive me you don't want to be on the other side from Kecha expecally when they get together with the Teritorans, Hakari and other IDI nations...

Hey, that reminds me, were are Haraki and Teritora? were are my fellow Musketeers?

Belive me you don't want to be on the other side from Kecha expecally when they get together with the Teritorans, Hakari and other IDI nations...

Yeah, Woe learned that the hard way, didn't he? :twisted: Hmm, now I'm obligated to help Kecha...damn!

I'm always happy to support the military. Unfortunately, I have decided to stay grounded for awhile......so no spacewanking from me :wink: . But, if you can figure out a way for transport, I have plenty of bodies for you to use - namely an entire MI corps plus plenty of armor and shiny thingies. If not, I'm sure a large infusion of money and moral support will do just fine, along with plenty of political intrigue.

Well if they dare to set foot on my land, they shall pay the consequences. I shall change my veiws to agree with the republic. *gasp* How dare they!

DNS is announcing it's intention to use the DNS-2 and 3 of it's carrier fleets.

A single carrier fleet consists of:
590 Red Hawk fighters
1 Agressor-class Carrier
34 Sentek-class gunboats
40 Needle-class frigates
12 Nebulon-B Destoyers

DNS, what side are you on?

Pro-republic.

Maybe it's just me, but I think at this point we have way too many people involved for a good RP.

It depends not everyone is going to commit offensive miltary troops and the Tordorans are in another one of their cronic civil wars. They are not going to be any use to either side of the civil war because all they will do is attack each other.

Okay, let me get caught up here...
Republic forces:
Teritora
Cyberutopia
Seed
DNS

Military forces:
Sketch

Wow, the Republic is way ahead on this one... Well, that's to be expected. The military has the edge of surprise. Their forces will be all ready for the coup, the Republic's forces will have to scramble to mobilize after the fact.

OOC:You forgot Kechai is also on the Republic's side.

Okay, enough setup. Let the RP begin! I'll be back within a couple of hours. I need to get some actual work done.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The supreme commander of the Xanthalian military Gats Donnely sat in a dark room with his co-conspirators inside a bunker outside the capital city.
"Is everything prepared?"
"Yes Sir. Almost the entire military is with us, the rest have been eliminated. We have approximately 1/3 of the Armada on our side, thanks to Admiral Fondrique. Trasnia, Ruhr, Celack, Foe Hammer, and Sketch also have sent us support."
"The time has come then. We strike in one hour. Make sure that our people are ready to move simultaneously on all Xanthalian planets. Remember, we take the government buildings and the planetary defenses. We'll worry about everything else later."
"What about the Council and the Senate?"
"Hold them hostage. If they give you too much trouble, kill them."

Well, unfortunately, my good ally DNS is helping the Republic. Perhaps the Republic will be more grateful of help than a military alliance bent on domination.

While in morale, the Military has the upper hand, the Republic would need some help. Keep Celack on the other side though. We need a challenge.

OOC:
Sorry, it is a lot of numberwankin', but essentially...that is my entire Space Corps...and how I keep track of it. I have one smaller defence network around Ruhr mainland, but that consists of like...12 gunboats. So...be happy, Xanthal. It isn't much, but it is all I have. Keep in mind, the RNS Black Saber is a 7 mile long, huge...HUGE... vessel, basically modeled after the Arc Hammer from Starwars, minus the factory and added garrison for several thousand. The JFK is from Space: Above and Beyond, the Landschwert is modeled after the space fleet from Starship Troopers, but longer and more powerful for space-to-space combat.

That, my friends, is my fleet. Sorry for the numberwanking but I just cannot pull stuff out of a hat.

Lt. Commander Rayze walked the halls of the Military base camp. Xanthalian soldiers weaved in and out of people trying to be even a second early at their desination.
You'll reach your destination soon, you rebellious f*cks, he thought to himself.
"Sir!" A voice blasted from behind. Rayze turned.
"Sir, the CO requests that your platoon suit up. We're almost ready."
"Tell the CO my Platoon will be there soon." Rayze replied.
"Yes, sir." The soldier turned and walked away.

Rayze walked out of the base and into his Platoon's building.
"Fall in!" He barked. Soldiers put away playing cards and lined along their bunks.
"General Rameir requests that we suit up 30 minutes early to load the transport ships for a faster evac. I want all of you fully prepped and in your Battlegear in one hour. We'll be using the Mark-II's for our little show. Dismissed!"
The soldiers ran for their clothes and boots. They poured out of the bunker and into the Prep room, where 48 Mark-II Infiltrators sit, ready to be loaded. The soldiers slipped their limbs into the heavily armored arms and legs. One by one, Chest plates automatically rose and locked into position and the suits became vacu-sealed. They locked and loaded large machine guns and stomped into the field, where they joined their batallions in loading massive transport ships with their guns, ammo and equipment.

An hour passed, and finally the order was given -
"Lock 'n load 'em! Let's have us a barbeque!"

The mechanized Battle Armor units lined up along the base, rocket launchers, grenade launchers and guns pointed at the weak points of the structure.

"Secure channel!"

"Roger. Channel is clean!"

Soldiers eagerly waited to open up and roll out the welcome mat.

OOC: If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to join on the side of the Republic.

OOC: Sorry Tib. We have more than enough people already participating.

IC: "Let's go!" the commander shouts.
The Xanthalian military garrissons on Earth, Aellis V, Aellis VI, Aellis VII, Garron XII, Pictoris I, Than IV, and Than VI begin moving out.

OOC: RPing of each front will occur as it is addressed by you, my RPing companions. Fronts that none of you are present on will automatically go to the military in the first round. Republic supporters, I'll let you know when you start hearing about this.

"FIRE!"

Bullets whizzed and shels hit the ground. Rocket launchers fired and grenades exploded. Holes covered the building. The Transport ships fired missiles at the gigantic building and .50 caliber machine guns covered the buildings with fire.

"LOAD, NOW! NOT LATER, NOW! LET'S GO, GET ON THOSE TRANSPORTS!"

The Armor units ran like hell for the transports. Some ran backwards, covering the ships' flanks. Tanks and LRVs rolled up the ramps and into the hold of the transport ships.

"All covering units, safe your weapons and get your asses on this transport! Move!"

OOC: Hey Xanthal, where's the main Republic base? I'll set up camp there and help defend it.

OOC: That's the military garrison you're firing at?
edit: The main Republic base? I guess you could say it's government HQ; but we don't really have a base. We weren't expecting this.

OOC: Yeah. We joined the Military to get access to the base to shoot it up and run like hell. We're really on the Republic's side.

OOC: That's the military garrison you're firing at?
edit: The main Republic base? I guess you could say it's government HQ; but we don't really have a base. We weren't expecting this.

Didn't you say you had most of the Armada on your side?

The military movement on Aellis V never gets started. Their base is completely destroyed, and virtually all of their soldiers along with it. Gats Donnely and Admiral Fondrique are also killed in the traitorous Foe Hammer assault.

OOC: This just got a lot more complicated. You killed their leader, now each planet's military force will be acting on it's own.

Didn't you say you had most of the Armada on your side?Yeah, I did. They have a lot of bases, but their main one is on Aellis VII. The military is attacking them too.

And BTW, that money we wired the Military was in a currency we like to call "Bullshit bucks".

And BTW, that money we wired the Military was in a currency we like to call "Bullshit bucks".Noted.

Didn't you say you had most of the Armada on your side?Yeah, I did. They have a lot of bases, but their main one is on Aellis VII. The military is attacking them too.

General Rameir approached the Transport's captain.
"Son, alert all transports to set course for Aellis VII. We're setting up camp there until we can find a strategic base location."
"Aye, sir."
The General picked up the Intercomm.
"Good job. That couldn't have gone any smoother. We've just received word from the Republic that the Military force's Leader was in that building, along with some other important Military figures, when it caved in on itself. You've all just earned yourself 8 hours of well-needed sleep on our trip to Aellis VII and a warm meal once we get there. Congratulations."

The Xanthalian police forces report that Aellis V is secure. The Imperial Armada is prevailing over the military on Aellis VII. Aellis VI has fallen to the military. Than VI has been taken over as well. No reports from other planets.

Aellis VI's planetary defenses begin firing at the Foe Hammer transports as they pass by it on their way to Aellis VII.

OOC: Aellis VII is a polar tundra planet, you'd do best to land in one of the Armada's internal docking bays. That is, if your transports get past Aellis VI's defenses.

Wow, Xanthal...your war RP sucks. ;)

DETAIL! DETAIL DETAIL! I will work on my post tonight. I shall just 'arive' as requested.

OOC: Are you gonna RP the invasion of Beta Pictorius ?

OOC: Love to join, but I'm swamped in other RPs and RL at the moment.

Ruhr: Well sorry, like I said; I'm only going to RP out the planets where your people are fighting. I'm not going to RP with myself.

Seed: If you RP your side of the fight.

Crimmond: Whatever.


Republic-affiliated RPers: The word is out! You may now join in!

In Teritora space the alarm spread and Warships, Space Marines and Assault ships were gathered into fleets to the aid of the Republic and after preperations, 3 Star battleships, 6 Star Carriers, 9 Star Cruisers, 15 Star Destroyers, 18 Frigates, 30 Star Corvettes and 15 Assult ships carrying Marines were sent in three fleets to the aid the Republic while more forces were gathered.

The Teritoran forces are met by 50 Xanthalian Armada ships, which start firing on them. Other Armada vessels are shooting at those vessels. It's an eerie sight, watching the Armada fight itself.

The Teritoran forces who are under command of Admiral Gernxi go into action launching their fighters then puting the great speed and manuverable that Teritoran Ships were known for to good use as they attacked the ships that fired upon them, they were not just going to sit and duke it out with the enemyship but would attack the enemy but make it so the enemy had a time hiting them.

The hostile Armada vessels suddenly lose all their systems except for life support, victims of override signals from Aellis V and VII. They drift through space helplessly as the loyalist Armada forces begin beaming the traitors to their brigs. One of the loyalist ships hails the Teritoran Admiral. "Welcome to Xanthalian space Admiral; sorry we couldn't meet under better circumstances. Aellis V and VII are secured, but Aellis VI has been captured by the military traitors. If you could help the Armada in their assault there it would be greatly appreciated. The military has gained control of the planetary defenses though, so be careful. XAS-92 out."

Understood we will head for Aellis VI, Sorry we couldn't bring more ships, many were still on Pirate patrol but there should be more coming. Admiral Gernxi Out The Battlegroup set course for Aellis VI.

On Aellis VI the situation is grim for the loyalists. The Armada had very little presence here, so the military overcame the planetary governmnet easily. They now control the entire planet, and are putting up a great fight against the ships in orbit trying to get through.

The Battlegroup arrives at Aellis VI and Admiral Gernxi tries to get in contact with whoever is in command of the Republician forces.

(so am I loyalist now or rebel?)

"Sir, there's an army coup in Xanthal..again. Any orders?"

"We must protect The/"

"Yeah yeah yeah, I know the drill. Sending DNS-2 and 3 Carrier fleets."

"But..."

"Sir, shut up"

"...."

The DNS-2 and her protectling fleets leave their current positions and make for Xanthal's home planet. Their IFF signatures show them to be friendly to the republic, and a message to that affect is sent to both sides.

Celack, you are rebel :)

But you said earlier that I should be republican. You have contradicted yourself Ruhr.

The seven mile long flagship floated through hyperspace, the blue slipstream bringing it to Ruhr's colony in the Orion sector, but first it was stopping at DNS to refuel its ships and meet their fleets for exercises. The small, not typically impressive force opened the wormhole and the ships came to what seemed like a dead halt. The shift to realspace always was uncomfortable for Admiral von Wulfe. His eyes blurred, abnormally, durring the shift. His muscles were tense, and finally it was over.

"I can't stand FTL, I am going to make a note to bitch to the guy who invented it. Status?" The younger Admiral walked over to the railing, gripping the bar. The Artificial gravity of the vessel gave him a light bounce to his step, and he always grabbed something when he could. God, I cannot wait until we get back to earth, the thought plagued his mind. Wulfe was an iritable man, simple things drove him to the brink of self-destruction. However, his battle tactics were superior to anyone in the fleet.

"Admiral, DNS Command told us their DNS-2 and 3 fleets left orbit several hours ago and are now heading towards Xanthal governed territory." The communications officer, Captain Shen, responded. He was always first to respond, wether there was any true news or not.

"Find out why, Shen. Get me specifics. Radar, anything in the deeps?" The Admiral questioned, still holding onto the cold metal bar. "If not, we are turning around and following the DNS vessels."

"No Admiral, nothing notable in our area. LIDAR isn't picking up anything." Commander Allington, a senior class commander that should have his own command by now but because the Admiral wasn't on the Promotions Board, he couldn't do anything. All there was to say was 'keep up the good work'. "Just civilian traffic and light DNS military presen---"

"Admiral, there is a Civil War breaking out in Xanthal. Apparently heavy fighting, DNS-2 and 3 might require our help, they say." Shen butted into the conversation. "DNS command wants confirmation of our next actions."

"Well, contact Xanthalian homeworld. I want shields and better weapons before we aid anybody. I know our past hasn't been particularly friendly, but the last thing we need is a military dictatorship pushing us to war. Have the DNS command send RNSC* a message requesting our help since we are available. That will legitimatize our new objectives. Until then, lets refuel and load up."

-------------------------------------
Message to Xanthalian Loyalists
-------------------------------------

We are prepared to help. We need the following though:
Upgraded Missiles
Maps of Xanthalian Space
Shield technology
Fuel on demand
Orders where to meet loyalist forces.

RNSC Admiral von Wulfe

Message to the Republic: Were can we help?
~KAR Admiralty.

Teritora: Admiral Stark responds to the Teritoran hail. "Greetings! Come to help us? We need to bring this damn planetary shield grid down! We can't attack the surface until we do!"

DNS: The DNS group is halted at the Aellis system border by police forces. It's obvious that even civil war doesn't disrupt Xanthalian law. "Attention DNS-2; Xanthalian law prohibits mothership entry into Xanthalian systems. Your fleets may proceed, but you must remain here."

Ruhr: "We'll do what we can. Make for the Garron system and dock with XSS-52 for supply."

Kecha: "The planet of Garron XII must be secured. Their planetary shields are down, but we need a ground force to eliminate the rebels. Kecha is famous for it's commandos, you should be perfect for this job."

Admiral Gernxi responded Then we will see what we can do, Just tell us what to attack and afterwards well we brought along 13 assault ships as well. I am just sorry we couldn't bring a full fleet with us but those are coming.

o.o.c. I just had a peek at the republic forces. Yikes!

I.C. "Sir we have recieved word. The Xanthal situation has begun. Orders?"

"Send the Celack, Thadsa and Kanosis to scout out the battle. If all goes well for the rebels do not do naything but if the rebel space fleet is losing send word for Battle group second to be deployed."

"What about the red dragon situation?"

"Keep battlegroup 1,3 and 4 on station for this."

The Xanthalian police forces report that Aellis V is secure. The Imperial Armada is prevailing over the military on Aellis VII. Aellis VI has fallen to the military. Than VI has been taken over as well. No reports from other planets.

Aellis VI's planetary defenses begin firing at the Foe Hammer transports as they pass by it on their way to Aellis VII.

OOC: Aellis VII is a polar tundra planet, you'd do best to land in one of the Armada's internal docking bays. That is, if your transports get past Aellis VI's defenses.
The Transports weaved in and out of fire.
"Goddamnit, where's Liberty Fleet Charlie?!" General Rameir yelled.
The young captain hit the comm button.
"Liberty Fleet Charlie, report location"
"Transport Fleet, watch your heads!"
The Captain turned on the overhead ship cameras.
"I don't get it. Where are they?"
The General smiled. "Wait and see, Captain, wait and see."
"Sir, with all due respect, we're getting assraped by Aellis VI!"
"Can it. Just watch..."
The General paused for a minute. Hadn't he seen this manuveur before?
Oh my god... There's no way in hell they can pull this off, he thought.

Space above the transport fleet warped and shifted. Suddenly, three massive fleets came whizzing overhead. The Liberty-class Capitol ship made a sharp turn to port and began firing. The Chaos-class Capitol ships followed suit and fired like hell. General Rameir inspected the formation and noticed something was wrong.
"Where's the rest of their fleets?!" The captain asked nervously.
"Just watch, Captain."
Streaks of white light appeared in space around the planet. Red laser streaks sped towards the planet. The white streaks were the rest of the fleets running the Palyster approach formation.
My god... they did it... the hardest trick in the book...
OOC: I'll explain what the Palyster Approach formation is later.

Teritora/Foe Hammer:
Transmission to Admiral Gernxi: "It doesn't matter, just shoot at the damn thing. The shields can't last forever against the force of our fleet and the orbital stations!"
Under the combined assault and the fire of the Foe Hammer fleet, the planetary shields of Aellis VI begin to fail.
Transmission to all ships and stations in the area: "Okay, ready your ground forces! We can't risk orbital bombardment on a Xanthalian homeworld. Capture as many traitors as possible, kill when necessary. And for god's sake, mind the civilians!"

Celack: The Celack, Thadsa and Kanosis are met in force, dozens of Xanthalian warships converging on this new unidentified threat. "Attention Celack vessels! State your intentions and stand down all offensive systems!"

Planet status’:
Earth: Secured for the Republic
Aellis V: Secured for the Republic
Aellis VI: Unsecured
Aellis VII: Secured for the Republic
Garron XII: Unsecured
Pictoris I: Unsecured
Than IV: Secured for the Republic
Than VI: Secured for the Military

Kecha: "The planet of Garron XII must be secured. Their planetary shields are down, but we need a ground force to eliminate the rebels. Kecha is famous for it's commandos, you should be perfect for this job."

IC: Indeed, with our Special Forces, and other troops, we will be perfect for this job, are there any specific areas on the surface of Garron XII? as it stands, we are calling forth ships to form a Fast Attack Squadron now, let the Military Rebels quail before our might!

Admiral Gernxi replied. Understood, sending in the assault Shipsi
The 13 Alern class Assault at key points across the planet began capture or kill as many rebels as possable while trying not to kill any civlians.

Alern class Assault Ship

Length: 602.7 ft
Height: 90 ft
Width: 84 ft
Crew: 611
Power: 4 fusion reactors
Propulsion: Gersta Drive
Armament: 60 close in defense cannon batteries, 6 antiship laser batteries, two antiship sub light missile launchers, 12 Plasma cannon batteries.
Capacity: 1,748 Space Marines with equipment, weapons and vehicles.

OOC:Seedling Goverment Officials have been shipped to the Ikrod System for safety reasons.

Anywho..

Anti Ortillery Cannons have been Fired up on Beta Pictorius. Our Military Ships for the Ikrod System have been sent to BP for obvious reasons. We have shot at and hit a few of the militaries ships that have been trying to get into our orbit, but since I was kind of caught off gaurd some of the military personell have landed and have taken a few higher-ups hostage. I will RP that tommorow.

The Fleets' combined firepower quickly brought down the Planetary shield. Dropships and fighters swarmed the planet and Troops overran the Capital.

In the Capital city, Foe Hammer Battle Armor Batallions secured buildings and guarded Civilians.
Battle Armor units clunked and stomped towards the Capital building.
"Grenade!" A young Private shouted.
The doors to the Capitol Building flew off in at least a hundred pieces. Soldiers poured into the building, followed by Lt. Commander Rayze.
"Squad Delta, come with me. All other squads, cover all possible entrances to the building."
Lt. Commander Rayze lead Delta Squad through the maze of halls until they came upon the leader's office and Military Strategy room.
"Delta Squad, download every bit of information on the Military's plans and future attacks. Except for you, Sullivan. Come with me."
The Private followed Rayze to the front of the building. Rayze approached a soldier in an LRV.
"Corpral, you follow Sullivan and I to the Weapons room."
"Will do, sir." The Corpral responded.
Rayze and Sullivan walked around the building. The Lt. Commander flipped on his X-Scope and scanned the wall. He brought his fist up, and with one blow, amplified by the Battle Armor, punched through the wall. It crumbled to bits and he stepped through. There were racks and racks of weapons. The walls were lined with guns. Sullivan started handing the guns to Rayze, who tossed them in the LRV.
The Radio blared static, until a voice came on.
"Attention all ground units, cease fire, load up and head back to your ships. Aellis VI is officially in the Republic's control."

The 3 carrier fleets move forward, headed toward Aellis VI.

The DNS-2 sends out a message to Xanthal:
/transmission/
The DNS-2 would be vital to any attempt to retake Than VI from the Military, even if it is only used as a refueling platform. You know our intentions are not against your Republic, and this is only reinforced by our connections in the AE. We urge you to reconsider for this one time, and let DNS-2 into your space. We give our word that it will only be used for the saving of the republic.
\end transmission/

Ruhr:

One OOC note, you misread(or I miswrote) my post. There is as yet no DNS-3(probably start construction on it in late january or early febuary) There are however, 3 carrier fleets.

IC: DNS follows through on the request for it to enlist Ruhr's help, sending the message through emergency BDI channels.

The Ruhr command group is refueled and reloaded by DNS-1, insystem to deliver supplies to the colony they stopped at. The reloads and refueling is done quickly, in around 6 standard hours.

Teritora/Foe Hammer: Xanthalian forces secure the last of the planet and deal with pockets of resistance as Admiral Stark signals the Foe Hammer and Teritoran forces. "Good work, we'll take it from here! Than VI is military-controlled, so head for Than IV and make sure that the military doesn't launch any assaults against them pending a decision on action to be taken against Than VI itself. I'll send a few Armada ships with you."

Kecha: "The military is mainly occupying the capital city. Take them out there and the rest of them should fall easily. Thank you, and good luck."

Seed: OOC: Okay, I'll dance around RPing the Pictoris I battle until you post.

Garron XII: Unsecured (being dealt with by Kecha)
Pictoris I: Unsecured (pending RP with Seed)
Than VI: Secured for the Military (pending Xanthalian government decision)

DNS: "Still, you will not be allowed into the Aellis system. It has been secured. If you wish to contact the government, do it from outside the system."

DNS: "Still, you will not be allowed into the Aellis system. It has been secured. If you wish to contact the government, do it from outside the system."

"What about the Than system?"

The Carrier fleets do a u-turn and make their way to Than VI, with DNS-2 following behind them.

IC: 25 Andromeda-Class ships, identified as KAR-01, on through to KAR-25, have been loaded with several thousand soldiers of assorted kinds, including some of our NADE-Warriors, the number of soldiers carried has been increased by using cryotubes and such, they are currently en route, and operating under Silent Running, to avoid detection, they are under the command of Vice Admiral Annita Cornwell, also known as Mad Annie.

Admiral Gernxi responded as the assault ships with the Marines returned and the fleet set a course for Than VI. Very well we will just that. Also I recived word that the first full fleet is on its way. They will be entering Republican Teritory soon, pending where you wish to send them.

DNS: "Stand by. The Senate is debating the matter of Than VI now."

Kecha: Garron XII is in chaos, the military trying to retain control of the mining facilities as confused miners run to and fro without purpose. The military has fairly good control of the planet, thanks to the lack of police presence.
Garron XII is a tropical desert planet, with a temperature that is always over 100 degrees and no natural water whatsoever. It's entire population is centered in the mining colony which is 95% underground. The Kechans have quite a fight ahead of them, with almost 1,000 soldiers crawling around in the facility.

Teritora: "They should go to the Than system until we decide what to do there."

OOC: To understand the Xanthalians' hesitation on what to do about Than VI, you need to understand the current situation there. It's not officially a Republican planet; they seceeded from the union, then declared war on Than IV, which was still a Xanthalian planet. Xanthal crushed them accordingly, and has been maintaining a military presence there ever since. Now that the military has taken full control of it, the Xanthalians have to decide if it's worth it to fight for a planet thet's not only not theirs, but also tried to kill them not too long ago.

Xanthal: As we have many thousands of soldiers with us, we should have no trouble in the long run.


The 25 Andromeda-Class ships came in sensor range of Garron XII, VA Cornwell stood on the Bridge of KAR-01, looking over the charts on the plotting table with her XO, Captain Arnold McDonne, Cornwell looked impressivley fit and clean in her Black uniform, which she always wore in favor of the more casual coveralls and low-topped boots used aboard by most of her crew, she kept in shape by spending hours in gyms at home, and jogging the corridors of her ship when abroad, the only sign of fatigue in her appearance was the fact that she was blinking rapidly, she looked up at her XO "Well Arnold, what do you think?" McDonne was silent for a moment "We should send a message demanding their surrender before taking action" "You sure?" "Yes, it's only right" "Very well, Communications, open a hailing channel to Garron XII" after it opened, VA Cornwell cleared her throat and spoke:

"Rebel Xanthalian Military forces on Garron XII, this is Vice Admiral Cornwell of the Kechan Armada Royale, I have with me a sizeable force capable of annihilating any defences you can put up, you are hereby ordered to surrender at once, and unconditionally, or face the consequences"

"Boradcast that untill they get it" she ordered.

Admiral Gernxi Understood.

OOC:Understandable

As the cobbled together fleet headed for Than VI, the first of the formal proper fleets arrived consisting of One Star battleship, Four Star Carriers, six star Crusiers, 10 Star Destroyers, 20 star Frigates, 30 Patrol Corvettes, 40 Patrol ships, and 15 Assault Ships, recived orders and headed for Than VI. It was under the command of Admiral Dorl

Kecha: On the surface, the commander sighs. "You've confirmed that all our Aellis targets have been lost to the Republic?"
"Yes Sir. It's over Sir. Even if we hold Garron XII, the rest of the system is the Republic's."
"Very well, open a channel."
"Channel open Sir."
"Attention Kechan task force; we will surrender on one condition: That you don't kill us."

Xanthal: VA Cornwell listened to the incoming broadcast, she sent her reply at once as her ships moved closer, shields raised, missile-torpedo tubes loaded, and phasers powered up:

"You're in no position to make demands, I'll kill whoever needs killing, before we talk further on agreements and such, at whom am I shouting?"

The Admiral sat back in his command chair, at the center of the enormous flagship. The ressuply was easy, each ship done in a matter of minutes. His attention was, however, drawn to the Xanthal conflict. The DNS vessels were heading off in another direction, however. His only option was to head to the Garron system, an unsecure sector, and rednevous with a supply ship that was probably close to combat.

He didn't like his options, and no one disagreed with him. This was a potentially dangerous situation, and he was risking the fleet by heading into the system. Xanthalian officials did not send adequate maps for the fleet and Wulfe knew he could only blast through the sector in hopes of identifying and rednevousing with the XSS-52. "Communications, any last signals?"

"No, Admiral." Shen replied with enthusiasm. "Channels are clear, sir."

"Very well then. Helm, swing 'er around. Lets get on course with the Garron System." The Admiral eased into his seat as the massive ship began its orbit-breaking turn into its path. The RNS Optima and Landshwert cruisers hit their flight paths first, shooting past the Black Saber and into a hyperspace opening they generated. The Assault Transports were next, rushing into the blue slipstream followed by the massive flagship. The fleet had left the DNS colony into an unfamiliar territory.

No ship had ever entered Xanthalian space with hopes of getting out. The poor tensions between the nations tore at the moral of any freighter crew running parallel to Xanthalian sectors. The BDI ties were broken. Celack had left and some nations had utterly disappeared through time, either through war or collapse. What was once the powerful NATO had become a few diehard nations looking to protect each other from their fears and the unknown.

---------------------
7 Hours Elapse
---------------------

They had jumped just right, the raging battle was on the other side of the system. The flagship had the XSS-52 in sight and was heading to her at 2/3rds impulse power. The cruise was gentle, patrols had increased since their arrival and a few ISSAPCs had been deployed, heading towards several of the damaged vessels. Wulfe had realised that his fleet was going to take a beating, and all he could do was wait. The CIC was deathly quiet, the crew had not spoken an unnecessary word since their arrival.

"Communications, do we have permission to dock?" Wulfe questioned.

Shen responded swiftly, "We have permission to dock. Open relay broadcast shows the Kechan fleet has arrived. They are currently sending a repeat broadcast message flooding the bands."

He held his chin with his fist, his eyes narrowed. "Play it."

"Re.......alian Military forces on Garron XII, this is Vice Admiral Cornwell of the Kechan Armada Royale, I have with me a sizeable force capable of annihilating any defences you can put up, you are hereby ordered to surrender at once, and unconditionally, or face the conse......s....Rebel Xantha..." Shen clicked the broadcast off.

"That is all it says, Admiral." He shrugged, his eyes wincing. He was nervous, if the military did not respond, the death would haunt the system over and over until the planet fell. His own mind was preoccupied with ambitions to convince the rebels, but he realised that what he would say would just be as much propaganda as the Kechan message. He was in dismay.

"Helm, dock with the XSS-52. Bring us on her port side and await transfers. Communications, order the rest of the ships in patrol and secure formation. I want every ship modified with shielding!"

"Aye, captain!" The large vessel pulled alongside the Xanthalian ship. Its starboard close enough for small ship to ship transfers of equipment and men. With hope, there would be no use for this fleet and the rebellion would crumble.

Wulfe realised that because a military unit had no other care but overwhelming force, their tactics would be hard. They would punch where it hurts, and kick when the populace falls. Military Rebels were high in moral and had a cause equally as great as the Republic Loyalists whom were merely attempting to perserve their union. He was torn between the issue of which approach to take.

He knew, however, that the 300,000 marines aboard the RNS Black Saber could deal with anything. His head dropped, his mind tearing in anguish. As a military leader, he couldn't worry about the death of a single person. He had to protect his former enemy and what they had left. His mission was to lead, his fleet was his sword, his mind was the swordsman. As soon as the shieldings were up for every vessel, he would be prepared to assist.

Kecha: "General Robert Martin. Well, I'm not a General anymore... Just call me Robert."

Ruhr: The gigantic Mega class space station seems to swallow up the Ruhrian ships as they enter it's internal docking bay.
"Ruhrian ships, this is XSS-52 command. Stand by, we may not need you on the battlefield after all. We'll see how the Kechans do first, then send you in if necessary. By the way, it's a pleasure to see your kind on good terms for once."

Both Terioran Fleets arrived at Than VI and too placements away from each other to prevent confusion between the Formal Fleet and the cobbled together fleet. There was also the factor that the Admirals didn't care for each other very much.

In the Xanthalian Senate chamber:
"Sources confirm that Than VI has engaged Than IV with it's planetary defenses."
"Damn. That's that then. Any objections?"
No one speaks.
"So be it. Alert the fleets."

Message to all ships: "Attention, the Xanthalian Republic is now at war with Than VI. All allied forces, destroy their offensive capability first, we must protect Than IV."

The two Teritoran Admirals send confirmations of reciving the orders and set out to systemicly destroy the Than VI offensive capability to attack Than IV or any other Planet. They did ask however that after that was done wither they should demand enemy surrender before going any farther after that or destroy any defenses left first.

The massive Liberty Fleet Charlie turned and quickly accelerated for Than VI. The fleet quickly dissappears from view as they enter Sublight velocity.

Xanthal - We're going to hit Than VI in a matter of minutes at this speed. Have your armada ships waiting just outside of Than VI's detection range. Admiral Burkhaul has a plan.

Admiral Burkhaul and his Vice Admirals huddled around a holoboard. Simulated images of the Xanthal Armada ships and Liberty Fleet Charlie gracefully floated above the board.

"Hmm... Fleet Charlie to grid C-7."
The holograph changed and the projected images shifted.
The Admiral paused and thought for a minute.
"The Sledgehammer Approach is a possibility." One brave vice Admiral suggested.
Admiral Burkhaul turned to him.
"You do realize, Vice Admiral, that by massing our ships and approaching head-on, we run a rather large risk of being annihalated in only a few hits?"
"Oh... well, if all else fails, we could use the Armada formation."
Everyone gasped. Even the Bridge crew turned in their chairs.
"Hmm... Run Simulation, Than VI, Fleet Charlie, Armada formation."
The Holograph changed, showing the Fleet in the Armada formation, the Destroyers, Cruisers and fighters massing around the Capitol ships. Engulfed in the Capitol Ships' shields, the Destroyers, Cruisers, gunships and fighters would fire every weapon towards the planetary shields and defense stations. The destroyers, cruisers, gunships and fighters all break apart and form a closing half-ring. The ships move in on the planet, and the Capitol ships activate a Short-range Jump, firing on the planet after the jump, in hopes of bringing down the shields.
"That will never work," One of the VA's piped.
"What makes you say that?" Burkhaul asked.
"Well, sir, the jump have a 90% chance of setting off the Ship's EMPs, which would disable every ship around the planet. In every test, that has happened. And if it doesn't disable the fleet, there's a damn good chance of the Capitol Ships misjumping and crushing one of the other ships."
"It has a CHANCE of happening. It's a risk we're willing to take and a risk we're going to take."
Admiral Burkhaul turned off the Holoboard.
"Ops Station, alert every ship in the fleet to follow the Armada formation. Once the Xanthal Armada arrives, have them cover-firing until we get in position."

OOC: I dunno why I'm bringing this up now, but I'm imagining that Admiral Burkhaul looks alot like Rip Torn... Iunno why...

Teritora: "They're firing on us. Until they stop, there's no provision in Xanthalian law requiring us to ask for their surrender. Use your own discretion."
The Xanthalian Armada begins firing on Than VI and it's orbital weapons platforms.

Foe Hammer: "The assault has already begun. Do not compromise our forces by such a rash maneuver."

"Sir, It's the Xanthal Armada! The battle's already begun!" The Ops officer peeped.
"Damnit. Okay, then. Weapons Officer, Charge all weapons and begin firing on the Planetary Shields and Orbital Platforms. Ops, alert all other Foe Hammer vessels to do the same."
"Aye!" The two young officers replied in unison.

Understood The Two Admiral's fleets carried out their attack with speed and fast manuvers as they systemicaly destroyed the offensive and defense orbital defenses of Than VI.

Than VI's planetary shields hold against the assault. "We'll have to wait for the Foe Hammer ships."

Admiral Gernxi commented about Than VI. Annoying little Coachroaches aren't they.

Admiral Dorl noted. Well they are digging their graves deeper.

"Sir, the shields, they're holding up!" The weapons officer reported.
"More power, Ensign!" Burkhaul ordered.
"I'm given 'er all she's got!" (OOC: lol!)
"*Sigh* Ops... call in Delta Fleet."
"Aye."
Burkhaul gripped the brass railing on the bridge and surveyed the battle. Fighters were whizzing by everywhere.
"Sir, Fleet Delta's ETA... 30 seconds at current velocity."
"Thank you, Ops."
Burkhaul stepped backwards and fell into his Command chair. He picked up his drink glass and sipped as he viewed the Display in front of him. 3 large objects appeared on the Detection screen.
The Ops officer spoke up.
"Sir, Fleet Delta has arrived."
"Good. Advise Delta to use all available firepower and focus it on the Planetary shield."
"Aye."
Burkhaul sat back again and streched out his feet.
I'm too old for this shit...

Admiral Gernxi hailed the Foe Hammer command ship. "They are quite stubern wouldn't you say. I wouldn't mind that if it wasn't that that bloody sheild is holding up to all the fleets attacking it. You got anymore fleets coming in? We got two more fleets on the way but they they won't even reach Republican space for 15 Minutes so we just got the Xanthan forces sent with us, our two fleets and yours."

Xanthal: "I see, well, I'm Vice Admiral Annita Cornwell, m'friends call me Mad Annie, let me ask you something Robert, why'd you join the revolt?"

As she spoke, she had the surface scanned, to locate any surface snesors stations, communications centers, etc...

"Well, the Closest Liberty Fleet is 10 Minutes away at Sublight velocity. We'll call them into battle. Hmm... Perhaps if we concentrate our fire into one area of the shield, it would dissipate quicker. Do you concur, Admiral Gernxi?"

Admiral Gernxi replied. More than likely it will. I'll hail Admiral Dorl as well and get him to join in as well. Sheilds don't generally concentrated fire very well.

Burkhaul turned to the Weapons Officer.
"Weapons, concentrate all firepower on one section of the shield. Ops, advise all other vessels to follow suit and fire on the same section of the shield."
"Aye."
"Aye."

The Ships of the two Teritoran fleets joined in concentrating their fire on one section of the sheild that the Firehammer fleet was firing on.

"Liberty Fleet Foxtrot has arrived and has begun firing! The shield is at 25%! All fleets, keep it up. We're almost there!"

ooc: Shit! I've been MIA all this time........ I don't have time to read all of this as of yet, classes :evil: But, if someone could post a brief "where we're at right now" I'll make sure to have something in by the end of the day. Oh yeah....someone wanna ferry my troops to Xanthal proper?

Teritora/Foe Hammer: The planetary shield collapses under the immense barrage of firepower. "Okay, orbital bombardment of military installations has been authorized. Aim carefully, we want to minimize collateral damage. After all the military strongholds have been taken out deploy ground forces to clean up the remaining rebels. Than VI is an urban planet, so be prepared for city fighting. Be doubly careful in your offense and defense, there will be military personnel and civilians everywhere. We estimate about 100,000 enemy soldiers on this planet total, so bring lots of reinforcements."
Xanthalian Armada ships begin firing torpedos down to the surface, eliminating military bunkers and gun emplacements.

Kecha: There are sensor stations scattered across the planet, but only one large comm center adjacent to the main mining colony. Robert replies to the Vice Admiral with confusion. "What? I'm not here to talk politics! We're trying to surrender!"

Sketch: There are three unsecure planets left; Pictoris I, which will be RPed out when Seed gets back; Garron XII, which is being dealt with by Kecha; and Than VI, where a full-blown war against the military is going on. In short: Once Than VI is secured, the military has essentially lost.

"Damn them, throw everything we've got at Than VI. DNS-2, begin orbital bombardments of military objectives. Prepare the 30,000 man landing force for CQC. Carrier fleets let Red Hawks down to strafe, except for Tarus, have your Red Hawks patrol space. If you find refugees, have transport Red Hawks ferry them to DNS-2 untill the battle is over," shouts Dauge from his place on the DNS-2's bridge.

The orders are carried out quickly, refugees begin to be ferried up to DNS-2 for safe-keeping. They are given food and shelter, but are scanned and monitored for weapons or aggressive behavior.

The 30,000 DNSian special forces land in Than VI's main city, helping to direct civilians to pick-up points and fighting against military attacks on the ground, they are covered by around 200 Red Hawk v2.45's, or the ground-support version.

DNS-2 initates surgical strikes against planetary defenses, mostly Ion blasts to leave the infastructure in place after the battle is over.

Some Armada personnel beam down to the surface to help, but not many. Xanthal's ground forces are the military, and the military is no longer their ally. The Armada is all they have left.

Xanthal: "Robert, the truth is I'd rather you'd tried to fight, I've got several thousand soldiers up here, and 25 ship crews, all itching to kick your sorry hindparts, either answer my question, or any offers of surrender and such on your part will be ignored, and our attack will commence, clear?"

She then turned to her Tactical Officer, and whispered a series of orders to him "Try and target that Communications Center with some of our missiles, and tell me how many it would take to destroy it, and if we can hit it from orbit"

OOC: I'll need you to let me know of the atmosphere of Garron XII is the kind the missiles can pass through, and how many missiles would be needed to take the Communications Center out if it is.

OOC: It's a mostly Earthlike atmosphere, you can fire through it if you want. The comm center is not shielded, so one or two hits should completely destroy it.

IC: "The Xanthalians are monitoring this channel, Admiral; and they won't be happy with you if you fire on us after we've offered our surrender. In fact, I believe that such an action would be considered an act of war against the Republic. I may be no expert on Kecha's space forces, but I know that you can't win against the Armada. Unless you want a war with Xanthal.."

OOC: And he's right. You're in Xanthalian space. If you fire on them after they've offered a surrender without getting approval from the Senate you have essentially declared war on the entire Republic.

Xanthal: "No, we probably couldn't, but listen up Robert, in the next hour I want all of your soldiers to have weapons, armor, and gear cast down, you can keep your Unit Colors as far as I'm concerned, and stay below ground for now, I have a call to make"

She turned to her Communications Officer "Signall the Senate if you can, ask what they want us to do"

The soldiers on Garron XII begin laying all their arms in a pile, then hang around and wait.

The chairman of the Senate anwers the Kechan call. "This is the Senate. What do you want?"

While the two Fleets fleets take selective aim at miltary targets careful not to cause civilian lossses, 21 Assault Ships head down to the Planet and after they depost the marines take to the Air to provide heavy surport from above. Meanwhile the Two fleets talked about earlier arrive in Republican space under the command of Admiral Zorl and the Asha Brothers.

"Xanthal fleet we are herte top investigate rumors of a rebellion"

Senate: "Garron XII is secured from orbit, Rebel forces have offered to surrender, your wishes?"

OOC: Im not really sure what to RP Xanthal, start RPing your troops invasion of Beta then I'll continue.

Celack: "The Republic has no relations with your nation. Withdraw from our space or be destroyed. We are in a state of civil war and don't need an audience. You have one minute to comply."

Kecha: "Unconditional surrender?"

"WE will not withdraw. we were sent to investigate and to protect civilian lives. It owuld also to be to your advantage if we stayed."

The captain turned off the comm.

"Get the rest of the battlegroup here"

Lenwë Súrion, Grand Admiral of the Olympus Coliseum Navy, ordered the fleet to sail to Than VI and attempt to secure it for the Republic forces

The two newly arrived fleets hailed Republian command to ask where they were needed while at Than VI Admiral Dorl send a demand for surrender to the defenders.

Remember back on Aellis VI, when a Foe Hammer squad uploaded all the infomation in the military computers into the Command ships? Well, the information recovered showed that Celack was a supporter of the Rebellion.

Nope. I don't remeber and also I never told the rebellion i was helping them but seeing as though that i would be acccused of GODMODDing myself I'll see this through. I just need the nuumbers of Xanthalian vessles and their types.

Okay, I'll say 40 are there right now.
XAS-6, 9, 15, and 22 are Andromeda class;
XAS-26, 29, 30, 31, 40, and 49 are Intrepid class;
XAS-59, 61, 62, 69, 70, 75, 77, 79, 85, 86, 99, 104, 105, 106, 108, 109, 127, 129, and 130 are Dreadnaught class;
XAS-139, 140, 141, 143, 147, 148, 149, and 150 are Super Dreadnaught class;
XAS-155, 156, and 158 are Battlecube class.
That includes 10,000 slipfighters.

The two fleets recently arrived set course for the disturbence.

OOC:What about the demand for the Than VI defenders to surrender.

Kecha: From the senate: "They have that right. Take them into custody." From the Armada command center: "Reports of enemy engagement in sector 925 confirmed. Request for reinforcement confirmed. Designation changes noted. XAC out."

Teritora: No response. The Than VI rebels actually have adequate numbers to fight. They won't surrender for at least a while.

TNSF-7s swarm over the planet to destory enemy defenses and miltary vehicles before they could even reach where the Space Marines and eqipment were. Meanwhile from above the Teritoran Fleets bombarded any enemy miltary base and strongholds they could attack without incuring civilian losses. The 21 Assault ships keep to the Area around where they dropped the Space Marines to protect the troops and provide some seriously heavy firepower to surport them.

Am i the only one who is supporting the rebels?

i.c. "Fire all Weapons on that cube. Prepare to backpeddal and get out of here. how long until the battlegroup arrives?"

"1 minute sir."

"Belay the order to retreat. What are our shields at?"

"We are at 85%, the Thadsa is a 79% and the Kanosis is at 68%"

"Launch the fighters"

Slipfighters engage the Celack fighters as the Dreadnaughts and Super Dreadnaughts fire their ionized plasma cannons at the main vessels. More Armada ships begin to arrive in response to the call for reinforcements. 50 ships are now on-site, with 100 more to arrive over the next 5 minutes.

"Sir. Shields are at 72%"
"Damnit. Wait what's that?"

A ship came out of hyperspace followed by another and another. A stream of ships kept comming out of hyperspace. as each one came out they oppened fire on the Xanthalain ships. The stream ended with 15 Yamota-A's and 5 Yamota-B's comming out of hypespace. They all openned fire on the same Battlecube. The total Celackian ships now totaled 60 ships.

"Sir the Battlegroup has arrived"


o.o.c. Some might say GODDMOD let me say it this way. I have in total 4 battlegroups in the entire fleet. This is, in other words, a quater of my fleet.

To: XIA Command.
From: KAR Command.
Status: Encrypted.
Message: Very well, we're sending[/i] Phoenix Squadron over to Secotr 925 at mximum speed, expect them soon, who is the Commanding Officer of the Xanthalian forces in the areas?

Senate: Very well.

VA Cornwell got on the line to Robert again: "Alright Robert, you've got your right to not be killed, all of your forces, including yourself, are to report to the surface at once, got me?"

Rear Admiral Lower Half Joan Pewter set the 25 ships under her command moving, knowing she could be commanding them into battle for the first time in her career, most of these people had never seen real combat, but they had superb training.

Its official, I hate the forums.

My post summed up because it was one and a half pages long, instead of being only a few sentences. Long, my apologies everyone:

85% of fleet fixed up with shields
Military units prepared, long distance scouts report heavy action on the Kechan front

Xanthal is asked the following question:
Where we are to be deployed?
How are the Ruhrian Forces to attack?
When are we going?

Kecha: "Acknowledged. we are heading to the surface now."

In the border battle, the Battlecube's type-Z shields drop below 50%. The rest of the Xanthalian ships focus their fire on six ships, ten Xanthalian ships firing on each enemy.
OOC: You're firing on the best-shielded class of ship present, you know...

IC: VA Cornwell looked at Captain McDonne "Beam down some troops to secure the area, and the prisoners, I don't want them on my ships" "Yes ma'am" a force of about 2,000 National Guard Heavy Infantry was transported down, they beamed them down for speed, along with supplies to secure the area, once there, the Power Armored troops moved at once to secure the Xanthalians.

Sector 925: RALH Pewter's forces arrived on scene.

Kecha: The rebels don't resist and are taken into custody without incident.
In sector 925 the Xanthalian Admiral in command hails the Kechans. "Welcome to the fight! Now open fire!"

Xanthal, wanna help me with my post so I can help out?

Even as the battle rages on Than VI.((As in my ealier post, some very unhappy rebels right now.)) The two fleets under the command of Admiral Zorl and the Asha Brothers arrived in Sector 925.


OOC:So you know each these two fleets concists of One Star battleship, Four Star Carriers, six star Crusiers, 10 Star Destroyers, 20 star Frigates, 30 Patrol Corvettes, 40 Patrol ships, and 15 Assault Ships, these are standard Formal battle fleets.

IC: RALH Pewter immediatley ordered all 25 ships of Phoenix Squadron to raise shields, and raise phasers, torpedo/missile tubes were pre-loaded before their arrival, all ships of Phoenix Squadron then accelerated to Combat Speed, and began firing phasers at the Celack ships.

VA Cornwell had a team of 10 NADE-Warrios beamed down to secure the Communications Center.

"Attention all fleets, Flagship Fleet has been called in and will arrive soon. In the mean time, charge all shields, activate all weapons, launch every fighter an gunship available, and kick some ass."

Fleetwide Message
{L1} All ships report to Sector 926 and initiate full {L1End}
{L2} bombardment of Celackian vessels. {L2End}
{L3} Full-force Strikes authorized. {L3End}
10 Minutes later...

A crewman bolted up to Burkhaul.
"Sir, the Flagship Fleet has arrived!"
"Wonderful. Notify them of all enemy positions and all Foe Hammer Fleet positions. Advise them to launch vessels and fighters and initiate the standard Cover-up Grid.

"All stations, status report."

The Weapons officer responded without looking from the screen.
"Weapons online, Shield up, fighters deployed. All set, chief."
The Ops officer did the same.
"Battle armor forces guarding all docks. Defense forces suited up and in position to repel enemy boarders. Good to go."
The Communications officer turned to face the Admiral.
"All Fleet ships firing on enemy positions and on-task."
The Nav Officer also turned.
"Ships are on course and following Tactical Point-Defense formations. Vessels are ready for Sublight Jump at a moment's notice."

Burkhaul turned and sat in his Command chair.
"All stations, carry on with your duties."

OOC: I hate splitting RPs. It makes them suck. Let's end one.

IC: The rebels on Than VI surrender.

Ruhr: The Ruhrian vessels are quickly equiped with mobile shield generators and refuled and resupplied. "Head to sector 925 and help fight the Celack ships. Blow them to hell. Now."

Teritora: "Welcome to sector 925! Open fire on all Celack ships!"

Foe Hammer: "Thanks for your help. Now let's show these Celack bastards who really governs Xanthal!"

Admiral Zorl replies. It shall be done.

The Asha Brothers Indeed, this will be fun.

The fleets deploy and join in the assault on the outnumbered enemy and meanwhile on Than VI the Teritoran forces see to the disarmament of the surviving rebel forces.

Xanthal only 50% lost? Even if my entire battlegroup was shooting at it? My battlegroup of over 60 ships? This si the second time you have gODMODDED. also how did your fleet jump from 40 to 60 all of a sudden?

The fleet entered sector 925 from the only quiet enterance, from the corner quadrant. Now in effective battle positions, the fleet was prepared for an assisted attack on the enemy. The control rooms on each ship were deathly quiet.

The battle raged above them, and the group came from underneath the closest planet, avoiding their long range scanners. The fast cruisers broke up and formed two delta wings of five ships. They broke into their new enemies lines firing all cannons they could. The five carriers and assault transports hung back around the Black Saber, which was operating as a primary fighter platform. Each assault wing launched, over five hundred fighters and bombers concentrated their fire on the Celackian battleships and dreadnaughts.

Each vessel, armed with 1.2 Gigawatt cannons targeted weak points of their targets and fired. The Black Saber, armed with ten 2.2GW cannons, concentrated its long distance fire on the Celackian flagship. The battle was bloody, and ISSAPCs launched, preparing to board disabled and damaged enemy vessels. With any hope, the battle would be over swiftly. But with such powerful forces involved, the Admiral realised the fight would last a very long time.

Celack: Hardly a godmod. Battlecube class ships have shields almost as powerful as a planetary shield. They are huge targets and don't move much, thus the heavy shielding and armor. Also, as I said before, the fleet size is growing because more ships are arriving. Within the next few posts, the last of them will arrive bringing the total up to 150 ships.

Hardly a godmodd? Let the other decide.

Celack: I'm not forcing anything on you, you're free to back out of the RP if you object. You're facing insurmountable odds anyway.

I know. I tend to dig down deep and try to fight it out but when people gODMODD it pisses me off.

Celack: I won't bicker with you. If you think it's godmodding, just ignore it. This was all in place before the RP started.

OOC: Now let's see if Celack plans to keep playing before we work too hard.

I'd like to get my RPing going if possible. Xanthal can you RP the beginning of the BP invasion?

Seed: The military had dropships in orbit on routine patrol. The pods begin falling to the surface.

OOC: I've got nothing to do here for now, Augusta Squadron is sitting watch at Garron XII, and Phoenix Squadron is firing at Celack's ships.

OOC: Where is Celack? Dammit, all my RPs fall apart because people stop posting!

sorry. I've just have debating wether to drop it because xanthal won't accept the fact that the cube would have been destroyed after such punishment. I'llpost my rp later. I have to go.

sorry. I've just have debating wether to drop it because xanthal won't accept the fact that the cube would have been destroyed after such punishment. I'llpost my rp later. I have to go.

Celack: It's hard to be sure.

Celack: Any other ship class here would have, but you're firing on the most heavily shielded class present.

Right.

Alrighty then:

I.C. The fleet realizng how little damage they were doing to the cube decided to change they're firing patterns. Each Yamota-b (except for the Celack) fired on a super dreadnought and with them 9 other ships fired on the same one. 5 cruisers, the Celack, the Thadsa and the Kanosis made micro-jup throught hyperspace and came out right next to the Ruhrian vessles. They all began firing on it.

OOC: Fine, ignore the Kechan Fast Attack Squadron bearing down on you, see what happens! :twisted:.

IC: RALH Pewter examined the viewing screen on the Bridge of the KAR-26, she looked at her Tactical Officer "Open fire with all ships on the Celackian ships with torpedos and missiles, try and target only the vital areas if you can pin-point them" "Yes ma'am" the TO said, she turned quickly to her Navigations Officer "Speed up all ships to Battle Speed" "Aye Admiral" and the projectiles began streaking out of their tubes, while the ships sped up.

Wait I sent out my fighters to engage the smaller ships and other fighters when the battlegroup arrived. what happned to them,?

Wait I sen tout my fighters to engage the smaller ships and other fighters? what happned to them,? OOC: Hang on, didn't see anything like that, I'm not using my Slipfighters yet, and I'm using full starships, not small little ships.

The Xanthalian ships begin taking evasive action as their shields take hits.
OOC: Celack, post damages to your fighters and ships. I fired on you first. After I see your damages I'll post mine.

Alrighty then:

I.C. The fleet realizng how little damage they were doing to the cube decided to change they're firing patterns. Each Yamota-b (except for the Celack) fired on a super dreadnought and with them 9 other ships fired on the same one. 5 cruisers, the Celack, the Thadsa and the Kanosis made micro-jup throught hyperspace and came out right next to the Ruhrian vessles. They all began firing on it.

"God damnit! The Micro-jump! Weapons and Navigation, set course for the Celackian ships and open fire, full force!"

The weapons officer turned around and paniced.
"Sir, our weapons, they're recharging on the generators!"

"Damnit... That's it. Navigation, set course Two-Niner-Five. Full speed ahead."

"Sir, that will put us on a collision course!"

"Who gives a damn? Set full speed, angle Liberty Two to 45 degrees, strike on underside hardpoint."

"Aye..."

The navigation officer followed the Admiral's orders. Surely a 9km long vessel could survive the impact.

"Sir, we are on course, angled and at speed." The officer reported.

"Okay, good. Communications, order all allied vessels to clear the area. Weapons, our MACs run on a power reserve, correct?"

"The MACs run on a seperate Generator. Should I charge them?"

"Yes. Charge cannons one and two. Once charged, fire on the Celackian ships. Ops, sound collision alarms, order all crews towards the center of the ship. Lockdown all airlocks once clear. Nav, time to impact?"

"Sir, 30 seconds, sir."

Burkhaul gripped the brass bridge railing. Let's see you withstand this, f*ckers...

"Preform manuver A-38 alpha sigma"


Losses: 3 cruisers. 2 Yamota-As. 3 frigates.


Shields

30% are lower than 50%
40%are 50%-70%
30% are 70%+

o.o.c which ship are you targetting?

IC: RALH Pewter looked at her Communications Officer and her Tactical Officer "Assume formation #294782, concentrate all phaser fire from all ships on the Yamato-A vessels, torpedos and missiles are to be fired as needed" as the order were carried out, the 25 Kechan ships moved into 5 groups of 5 ships each, each group began maneuvering to avoid fire, while still firing at the Celackian ships.

A Yamota-A caught a full blast of the torpedoes. it blew off it's three main turrets leaving ti at 50% combat effectiveness.

"Sir, the Celackian forces are moving!"

"Follow them, damnit! Stay on them and impact at full force!"

"15 seconds!"

Everybody in the bridge tensed up, the massive steel airtight doors on the bridge shut and hissed.

"Ten seconds!"

Alarms, lights and random Collision sirens sounded. Burkhaul sat back in his chair and strapped himself in.


"Five..."

Burkhaul recited the prayer he recited every night aboard this steel can.

Our father in heaven, hallowed be your name...

"Four..."

Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven...

"Three..."

Give us this day our daily bread, forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us...

"Two..."

Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil..

"One..."

For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever...

"BRACE!"

Amen.

FH!!! whih vessles did you target? also the manuver was that the ship would fire ti's retor rockets a few seconds before impact whiel firing all of it's guns at the ramming vessel.

IC: Pewter looked sharp as she saw the Celackian ship's turrets blown off, seeing a chance for a phsycological blow to the Celackians, she barked an order "Concentrate all phaser fire on that ship! now!" she ordered "Once it's dead, go back to firing on the other Yamato-A ships"

Celack: OOC: I wrote: The fleet ships are focusing their fire on the most worn-down Yamota class ships, ten fleet vessels firing on each Yamota. That's eight of your Yamota ships under fire by Xanthalian ships.
IC: Ten slipfighters are destroyed, several others lose shields. The fleet ships (there are eighty now) continue their focused assaults on Celackian Yamotas as the slipfighters keep on the enemy fighters. The slipfighters deploy their cluster missiles against their opponents (that's 9,090 slipfighters, 90,900 individual missiles).

OOC: I targeted the Yamota-A in the center of the formation to cause the most damage.

"Sir wE under ahvy fire. What do we do?"

the cpatain thought for a seond no chance for nayof them to make it to the escape pods in time

"Get us ready to rma that ship. Key the self destruct. wE'll blow up and probably take out a chunk of their forces."

The Yamota-A turned and accelerated.

Meanwhile.

"Sir our shields are collasping. What do we do?"

"Show our hand"

The Crew member pressed a button on the board.

"Now we wait"

"Sir wE under ahvy fire. What do we do?"

the cpatain thought for a seond no chance for nayof them to make it to the escape pods in time

"Get us ready to rma that ship. Key the self destruct. wE'll blow up and probably take out a chunk of their forces."

The Yamota-A turned and accelerated. OOC: This is the one I'm firing on?

"Sir wE under ahvy fire. What do we do?"

the cpatain thought for a seond no chance for nayof them to make it to the escape pods in time

"Get us ready to rma that ship. Key the self destruct. wE'll blow up and probably take out a chunk of their forces."

The Yamota-A turned and accelerated. OOC: This is the one I'm firing on?Yep. He's going kamikazee. Slef destuct is a bigger explosion then if the ships is destoryed by enemies because of charges that can only be set off by radio signal. They are very stable otherwise.

The Xanthalian ships keep firing.

OOC: Celack, you need to be more clear about who you are targeting as well.

IC: Pewter looked as the half-crippled Celackian ship turned and charged her vessel, in that moment understanding came to her, she turned to her Communications Officer "Have the 4 ships in our group scatterr away and get out of range of a possible detonation, concentrate all of our fire on that ship" she said, the orders were carried out, and the KAR-26 turned all of it's deadly arsenal on that one ship.

o.o.c my bad.

i.c. The Yamota-A that the button presser was on exploded with all ahnds on deck. However it was not it vain. 10 seconds later strange vessles started comming out of hyperspace. A piece of them detached and jumped to hypespace only to return woith another vessel of the same kind. After onlyt firing their heavy weaponry at the Xanthalian ships and not moving that it becamo obvious that these were staiton being brought in by hyperspace sleds.

IC:

The alarms stopped, and Burkhaul opened his eyes. He saw a large bright light, and held out his hand. His eyes focused to reveal the Bridge's ceiling lights. BUrkhaul had been knocked out of his chair. He sat up and surveyed the bridge. Everything was in order, except for a few minor cracks in some of the screens.

"Bridge crew! Report!"

The Weapons officer lifted his head. "Alive and well." He typed on his console some. "All weapons are functional."

The Ops officer reported. "Same here. Ship crews report very minor injuries. Minimal damage to the structure. The impact on the hardpoint did nothing more than scrape Liberty Two's paint. Damage to Celackian ships unknown."

Nav spoke up. "Sir, we're redirecting and heading back to regroup with the fleet. Nav systems are fully functional."

Comms reported next. "Communications systems are fine, sir. The fleets are commending us you quick thinking and courage."

"Good... Ops, unlock all doors, open up the bridge and allow survey teams to check out the outside of the ship."

Burkhaul sat back in his chair. His glass had tipped over and broken on the Bridge floor. He sighed, picked up the shards carefully, and dumped them in the trash bin.

I AM getting too old for this...

IC: The KAR-26 rocked in violence as it was hit by the Yamato-A exploding, Rear Admiral Lower Half Joan Pewter listened as her Bridge Crew shouted reports "Shields at 13%, failing fast!" "Breaches on decks 5, 7, and 11!" "Shields failing!" "Hull integrity at 40%!" "Engineering reports shock damages to Power Core!" "Power Core stability failure! she's going to explode!" lights began flickering out and on, she fell over as the ship rocked, and the light whent out, the KAR-26 sat dead for a moment, before an explosion ripped her apart from the insides out, sending a mighty shockwave acrossed most of the battlefield.

The Xanthalian ships take slight shield damage from the small stations before they blow them up. They continue assaulting the main vessels as nearby border defense stations deal with the stations.
OOC: This is why we destroyed hyperspace in the Aellis system...

o.o.c. not small stations. big defense stations. Ones that are used to defend bases. Why do I have to yell GODMODD on you again? Oh yes the I blow up the stitions remark.

"Celack, this is an official request of your surrender. If a 9km long ship caused that much damage, would you like to see what we can do with a 30km long Flagship?"

The mighty Foe Hammer Flagship turned to the stations firing on the Xanthalian ships. Immense glows appeared on her hull. The white glows shot forward at immense speeds. With closer examination, the white glows appeared to be massive chunks of white-hot metal, ready to slam through the Weapons platform.

"If your that stupid to ram your ships into others then we have nothing to fear. wE now know you strategiies."

The rest of the ships near the on that fH rammed start firing on the fH ship. The Crusier it hit drifts off with a hugh dent in it's side. there is no movement from it.

IC: The remaing 24 Kechan ships begin firing again, attacking primarily the Yamato-A ships, but firing on the others as well.

I love this! My obselete ships are getting hammerred but my top ships aren' getting attcked. they are just laying on the fire power!

I love this! My obselete ships are getting hammerred but my top ships aren' getting attacked. they are just laying on the fire power! OOC: I'm hitting everything, just primarily my phaser fire is hitting the Yamato-As if my strategy is working.

"If your that stupid to ram your ships into others then we have nothing to fear. wE now know you strategiies."

The rest of the ships near the on that fH rammed start firing on the fH ship. The Crusier it hit drifts off with a hugh dent in it's side. there is no movement from it.

Burkhaul turned to weapons officer.

"Are the weapons online yet?"

"Aye, sir. MACs, Mini-MACs and all other weapons charged and ready to fire."

"Fire on any Celackian ship that is firing on us. Full force is authorized. Contact the Flagship and request the use of the BAC on the largest Celack ship."

"Aye. Weapons firing."

The same thing that happened on the Flagship occured on the Capitol ship. white-hot chunks of metal shot out at immense speeds towards the Celackian ships.


"Sir, BAC away."

Back at the flagship, a massive cannon turned and fired human-sized shells three at a time towards the Celack fleet.

Yep but yamota-A are obsolete and cannon fodder. the Yamota-B's are laying ou the punsihemnt.

Yep but yamota-A are obsolete and cannon fodder. the Yamota-B's are laying ou the punsihemnt. OOC: And my strategy is based on the fac that the Yamato-B ships are newer.

IC: The Kechan ships moved out to a longer range for the time being to lay down long-range fire, so they could conduct limited repairs while fighting.

Bye all. I'm off to bed.

Bye all. I'm off to bed. OOC: G'night Celack.

"Weapons, fire all 120 MACs and all 140 Mini-MACs at the Celackian Yamato-B's. Charge each shot to 100%."

"Aye."

"Comms, alert the Flagship to do the same."

"Aye, Admiral."

Celack: OOC: How the hell am I supposed to know what the stations are if you don't tell me?
IC: A Xanthalian Dreadnaught is destroyed by heavy fire. The others keep firing.
OOC: Post some damn losses from all this fire, or next time it'll be me yelling GODMOD. I've shot over 90,000 missiles at your fighters and my fleet ships are ganging up on your Yamotas! Hello? Your fighters should be almost all destroyed, and since our fleet ships are firing on the most worn-down of your ships you should have lost 5 Yamotas minimum. By the way, how many ships do you have now?

IC: Aboard the Bridge f the KAR-50 Captain Francis Tolliver turned to his Communications Officer "Contact all ships fighting the Celacians and request a Tactical Relay to make for more effective action against the enemies" "yessir"

OOC:Are you Ingoring my two fleets, Celeck or did you not see that posting of the arrivals of the two Teritoran fleets, the type of ships they got and their attack. Just as a side note that besides shielding and armament, speed and manverablity are among their strengths of the ships.

bump

Laser fire tore into the mobile shields emplaced on all Ruhrian vessels. The ISSAPCs launched from the massive hanger bays of the Black Saber heading towards damaged vessels and evacuating crews in any escape pods. Red flares lined the arena! Missiles, flares, torpedoes, cannon fire, engines, fighters, anything that made light joined the distant stars' glows in an organized chaos. Three bomber wings, escorted by three fighter wings, blasted through Celackian defence lines in an attempt to

The mini jump of the Celackian Vessels put the torpedo tubes of the carriers right next to his vessels. A full launch of over 500 small nuclear tipped torpedoes ran towards the former ally's vessels. The small laser fire engulfed one of the assault transports and the controlled fire tore through the hull and into Battalion Garrison C. The shields gave out in that sector, and before they can come back online half of the 200 men garrisoned in the compartment were sucked into the black quiet of space. The shields on the RNS Sparrow came back online and the Phalanx-V Missile Launchers began firing at the Celackian assault ships.

Onboard the seven mile long Black Saber, Admiral Wulfe put his faith in the multiple mobile shield generators installed in the vessel. The situation on the vessel was chaotic. Troops ran in their squads up and down the corridors securing loose bulkheads and transporting materials here and there. The 2nd Marine Corps was preparing for boarding enemy vessels. One transport wing was being loaded up as the battle raged, the Ruhrians were prepared to take the fight to the Celackians. The desert camouflage uniforms bore by the Ruhrian Marines made a seemingly endless stream of power and might that would bring this raging battle closer to an end. The ship rocked with a torpedo launch at the new enemy, their vectors fast and direct, their warheads prepared for their massive explosions.

Wulfe's eyes traced the holographic battle depiction. The Kechan vessels were falling back, their fight turning into a bloody confrontation of attrition. The Xanthal vessel's continually launched missiles at the Celackian fighters and ships, over 100,000 missiles fired alone from the Republic's warships. The Territoran and Foe Hammer vessels were turning up the heat on the Celackians. The Yamato-A's had been ripped to shreds, but the powerful Yamato-B's remained a viable threat. Wulfe could only hope that his next efforts to disable their vessels would work. Long-Range Electro-Magnetic-Pulse missiles were loaded into the forward torpedo tubes of the massive Black Saber's bow. The Kinetic Pulse Energy cannon was charged on each of the carriers and the four cannons the flagship.

He held down the encoded fleet transmissions button. "Assault Group Kappa, launch EMP missiles at the Celackian Yamato-B's. Assault Group Alpha, come about and fire Kinetics at the closer threats. Launch the marine division at the first sign of disablement from the closer attackers. Continue the assault." His finger lifted from the button. In unison, three of the carriers and their smaller escorts turned to port and came right on line with Celackian vessels. Their Kinetic Pulse Cannons fired several long bursts into the hulls of their targets. The EMP missiles fired at the newer Yamato’s in an attempt to disable the threats.

IC: The Kechan ships had moved away from the core of the battle, and had begun conducting MCR procedures, in other words, they were repairing as muchas they could while still firing, and taking fire, they shifted their tactics as well, their phasers fired only at the Yamato-A ships, their missiles and torpedos fired only at the Yamato-B ships.

Bumiity

The Admiral eased back into his chair. He studied the view screen, looking for a pattern to somehow pass through the Celackian ships and take out the Weapons platforms.

"Navigation, any suggestions for getting to those Weapons platforms?"

"Can't think of any, sir. Nothing in our formation list can be pulled off under this kind of fire."

"Hmm... Navigation, I want full power, angle 45 degrees. Weapons, charge MACs 10 and 11. Fire on the Celackian vessels."

The Ops officer spoke up. "Sir, with all due respect, they will easily know what we're going to do if we try this again."

"Leuitenant, trust me on this one. They won't just stand around like idiots again. Surely they're not that stupid."

"Aye sir. Sound collision alarms, lockdown Airlocks, secure bridge?"

"You read my mind."

The alarms sounded once more, the bridge closed off, and everybody hunkered down. Except for Admiral Burkhaul.

"Sir," the Weapons officer said. "Shouldn't you strap down, sir?"

"No need. Just trust me on this."

Once again, the mighty Liberty Capitol ship rocketed towards the puny Celackains.

IC: Captain Tolliver had assume the role of Acting Field Commanding Officer(AFCO) when the KAR-26 had been destroyed, and he now led Phoenix Squadron, all remaining 24 ships, in a desperate fight for victory, as the Blonde man looked at his view screen, he turned and gave an order "Relay the command to all ships of this Squadron, aim all phaser fire at the Yamato-As, all torpedo/missile fire at the Yamato-Bs, try to make every shot count, got all that?" "Yessir" his XO said, and the orders were sent out.

OOC: Bump?

If celack does not respond, I would assume that his fleet was taken out by the combined efforts of the Kechan Regrouped Forces, the Territoran Fleets, the Xanthalian battlecruisers, the Foe Hammer capital ship, and the RSNC.

OOC: I agree, totally.

Give him until tomorrow afternoon... Then we'll just push on under that assumption.

bump

A final bump for Celack, with two hours left on the clock.

*Buzzer*

Assuming that Celack's fleets and weapons platforms either retreated or were destroyed, we will now move on with the story.

OOC: Very well, what now?

I ost!

o.o.c. soryy wan;t able to post earlier. i was working pretty hard.

i.c. a second celackian battlegroup entered the area. they oppened fire on the first which retreated. they then sent out a message to all nearby vessels.

"Please let us explain before you shoot"

"Sir!" a voice peeped from behind. Burkhaul turned.

"What is it?"

"Sir, another Celackian Fleet has entered the area."

"Well, fire on them!"

"Negative, sir. The second fleet has begun to fire on the retreating Celackian fleet. they request that we give them a chance to explain."

"*Sigh* Very well. set the VidComm to the Bridge screen and trasmit message to all ships."

The bridge officer went to work. Burkhaul sat in the hot seat, his command chair, and hailed the Command ship of the second fleet.

"Attention, Celackian Command ship. This is Admiral Burkhaul representing the nation of Foe Hammer, and Empress Ashanti. State your intentions."

"Our intentions? Our intentions were to hunt down the fleet you just massacared. You see they were a rouge battlegroup. One that was captured over 3 months ago by a cult calling themselves the second exodus. They want to find a planet of thier own so that they can create a war machine. They figured these planets would be easy to take so they attacked. we are sorry for any loss of life."


o.o.c. WOO-hOO i covered my ass good!

o.o.c. WOO-hOO i covered my ass good!

"Roger, Celack! Attention all Foe Hammer vessels, track and follow the Rouge battlegroup, full power to weapons, engines to full, 100% shields. Launch all fighters, Destroyers and Cruisers."

"Celack, the Foe Hammer Fleets will aide you in catching the rebellious cult. All Foe Hammer Capitol Ships, engage formation Slasher."

The mighty Liberty and Chaos Capitol ships broke off from the rest of the fleet, heading 20km backwards. The massive vessels engaged their engines, as particles of light built up around the engine outlets. Suddenly, the 9 Capitol Ships, at full speed, disappeared. Space warped and twisted in front of the fleeing Celackian fleet as the 9 massive ships began to quickly re-materialize. Thousands of MACs fired, illuminating the fleeing fleet with white-hot metal chunks travelling at nearly 84,000kph.

bump

Yet another bump

Half of the Xanthalian fleet folows the new Celack ships as insurance while the other half move to secure the sector.

Augusta Squadron is preparing to move out, Phoenix Squadron follows the new Celackian ships.

The cultist ahve already retreated. The only thing left are stations wqhich are being boarded.

The end? I guess... Okay, I was hoping for this to go out with more of a bang, but I'll take what I can get. RP over.

Sorry Xanthal, it just sort of faded.

I learn something every time I do this... I can't decently RP multiple fronts. To be any good I need to do one-on-one RPs, or at least RPs with lots of people in the same place. I just fall apart trying to keep track of three or four areas in the same thread.

Well, it's like that with me as well, listen, if you ever want a partner for another RP, gimme' a call OK?

I'm always game, but I have a shortage of ideas. If you can think of something let me know.
