The Space navy will be organized into three active fleets, one purely to defend the Tirah system, an second fleet for offensive operations and third Fleet will for renforcing the other two fleets if needed.

Meanwhile elsewhere: The years since losing control of the Tirah system had not been good for the Tirah Colonal allaince. Abandaned by the nations that ran it, it had been reduced to an collection of an orbital colony about the third planet of the Sol system and 30 groups of feuding Space Colonies in the sol system with no real leadership. However finally an new leader arose out of the chaos. Merani Geran, an Tordoran exile and distant member of the Geran clan that controled the Mega Corporation, Geran Corp. and there was only one thing on her mind. Revenge on Tirah for the humilation of the ruin of the allaince. Rebuilding the allainces shattered miltary she renamed the Allaince, the Kingdom of Zrion. All she needed now was the right moment to began the war of revenge and that moment was at hand. The only countries, Xanthal, Teritora and allies that would likely come to the Aid of Tirah were about to launch into by all reports a devestating intersolar war and were in no potision to stop them. Now was the time strike, when Tirah allies were busy fighting among themselves and the Tirah least expecting an attack.

Quietly in the sol system at the colonies of the Kingdom of Zroin, an vast space Armada gathered for an war of revenge, tranports by the score were loaded with troops as the Kingdom of Zoirn prepared to unleash the dogs of war on an unexpecting and peaceful Tirah.

Merani Geran smiled as she watched her grand Fleet prepare for war upon the unepecting Tirah. It had been 10 years since she formed the Kingdom of Zroin from the chaos that had inveloped the Tirah Colonial allaince space colonies after its fall when the Tirah system won indepence. She had given its people an enemy to hate and blame for all their troubles and united them in one cause, the total subjecation of the Grand duchy of Tirah. She had used her connections with her powerful clan, with insiders of the Mega Corporation Geran Corp. and her own wealth to build an great Warfleet for this porpise. Man power was not an problem and now everything was ready. All she had to do was give the order and the fleet would leave. Smiled coldly about what was to come. She gave the Order for the fleet for the grand fleet of the Kingdom to forth and wreak revenge. At this signal the great fleet jumped into sub space heading for the Tirah system.

Duke Ivan read the reports wearly. Aparently, Kecha and Xanthal were about break into open warfare over the country of New Xanthal and they were going to drag Teritora and other space powers into it. That would tie up all of Tirah's allies and friendly powers. He sighed, At least the allaince was quite dead so they weren't an threat. He rose to lay down. After all he had an long day ahead, tomorrow was indepence day and he would have oversee the parade and celbrations.

Merani Geran grimised inwardly as she talked over an coded comm with an Bearlike Alien, one of the infamous Zoir warlords who were prehaps the worse and most dangerous Pirates in the Galaxy. They were hunted by every one even their own people. It was believed that somewhere there was an hidden planet that served as their base of operations but nobody to her knowolaged had ever found it. However that didn't matter, what mattered was that this warlord had after much bargianing, agreed to assist in the attack on the Tirah inchange for all the loot they could take from the planet.

This suited Merani just fine after all it would bring more suffering down on the Tirah and help seal the fate of the Tirah forces for good. Her grand fleet would attack Tirah as planned then as the battle was joined the Zoir warlord's fleet would join in the attack destroying any chance for the Tirah to win an engagment then the Planetary assault would began. Tirah's fate was sealed, revenge would come swiftly. She clicked off the moniter and laughed as the deal was finalized. All the peices were ready, the game was about to began.

OOC:Ugg! blasted server.

The Zoir Warlord in question chuckled to him self cold heartly. Foolish humans, so easy to fool espceally when they were on an vengence streak like that one was. His would enter the battle alright but only when the two sides disamated each other then he and several other warlord forces would attack both countries and plunder them. Yes it was the perfect opperuntity. He broke into full blown laughter at the though of the comming attacks and the plunder to come of it.

The Tirah system, 11th Planet, Second Ducial Fleet Headquarters.

The Second Ducial fleet was preparing to scatter into patrol squadrons for retine deep space patrol of the nearby systems, they didn't expect to find anything, Tirah was located in an remote part of the galaxy far from the major space powers, If it wasn't for Gerexi, Tirah's main and most valueable export, Tirah wouldn't be at the end of several major trade routes and dozen minor trade routes. But there was always the chance for pirates and this was what was waying on the mind of Fleet Admiral Mortious Borsia as he gave the order for the fleet leave and watched from the Orbital Headquarters of the Fleet as it jumped into subspace heading for the neiburing systems.

7th Planet, Third Ducial Fleet Headquarters.

Fleet Admiral Ivania Threpes frowned, Her Fleet was the newest Fleet and most of the crew were fresh from the acadamy and hadn't had an chance to familairize themselves with their ships and were woefuly inexperenced with the real use of the fast powerful, highly manivorable warships that the Tirah Space navy used. She hoped war didn't come because her fleet would months before she deemed it worthy for waging war with.

Fourth Planet, the Tirah Homeworld, Ducial High Command and headquarters for the frist Ducial Fleet.

High Admiral Yuran Hirshami Watched impassively as the Frist Tirah fleet, the fleet responsable for the defense of the homeworld conducted wargames. He nodded impassively, They were best of the Tirah Naval forces. The first fleet was the frist to competed and it showed, the crews had time train and prepare for war in their ships if they were called upon. he hoped that they would more time however. While they were good, they still needed more training in defending the homeworld from attack because they would have to hold off any attacking force if not defeat them as either an last resort or to give time for the reserves or one of the other fleets to arrive to give aid. He was confent, another year of training and they would fully ready for anything that could be thrown at them.

Third Planet. Tirah Ducial Space Police Headquarters. Grand Marshal Tern sighed and stared at the space docks where the Ducial Space Police Fleet was being build. He was dreadfully bored, he would even prefer paper work to this doing nothing. He had nothing to command, at best even the smallest ships were half finshed, the larger ones were even worse off. Politial wranging in the high council had had prevented work from starting on the police ships intil recently unlike with the space navy. So instead he had an lot of Police officers with nothing to do but sit around, train, enterain themselves and get drunk which was an good idea, there wasn't much else to do. He moved way from the window and left his office to go to the station's bar.

Tirah Homeworld, the Capital City Portside.

Duke Ivan watched as the annual Indepence Day Parade marched down the wide avenue before the Ducial Palace with great pleasure. It always did him proud to see the parades and the happy expressions on his peoples faces. Life since indepence had been good for Tirah, the Gerexi trade poured great weath into the nation and besides the miners, the fine craftmen and artisons had made an name for Tirah fine goods on the galaxic market bringing in some more modest but still profitable business for the nonminers of the Duchy. Even the farmers were doing well with the increases of the population and even with the inflex of more farmers were for once pulling an slight profit. Everyone was doing well and the shadows of the revulotion and the colonial opression was fast fading from the peoples mind whos eyes were on the future. It seemed the good times would roll on forever...

Zroin Grand Fleet on route to the Tirah system, Flag ship, the Merani.

Lord Admiral Yurima stared at the veiw screen showing the odd and chaotic blue subspace assioated with Gersta drive intersolar space travel. He was almost trembling at the thought of the coming fight. He had an been an captain of an Patrol ship in the Tirah Allaince fleet and he remembered the great losses suffered when the Teritorans interfended on behalf of Tirah. He had spend 3 days drifting in space after his ship was destoryed. However now it he would have his revenge. In moments his fleet would exit subspace and the war would began and he couldn't wait.

An Bridge technican called out. "Lord Admiral Yurima, we are aproaching the Tirah System." Yurima grinned rose from his Admiral chair and spoke. "Good, Order the Fleet to drop out of subspace on my mark and began the attack. One, Two, Three, Now, Began Subspace Disagagement." The Order went out and the Zroin Grand Fleet began operations to drop out of subspace and began the attack. As one the fleet disegaged their Gersta subspace drives and entered normal space near the 7th Planet and imeditally attacked the 3rd Tirah Fleet. Admiral Yurima smiled coldly. Vengence had finally come.

Fleet Admiral Ivania Threpes rushed onto the bridge of the command station cursing as the station shook from and blast. The bridge was in chaos. As Techicans called back and forth. "Hull Intergity at 67%, multable hull breaches in sectors , 5, 6, 9, and 54 through 69. Sheilds rised and holding at 43%, weapons systems are off line." Ivania cursed. "Who's attacking us> where the fleet? What the hell is going here?" The Watch officer snapped to attention. "Admiral, an Unknown fleet has come out subspace and attacked without warning, heavy damage has occured to the station and the Fleet. The Flag ship has been cripled and all of our cruisers and destroyers have been heavly damaged, destroyed or cripled along with half of our frigates and patrolships. Waiting orders." Ivania cursed at the report. "Order the Fleet to fall back to the 6th planet to reform and counter attack and send word to headquarters and the third fleet. We are under attack by unknown hostile forces." She went to Admiral chair to take command while thinking How the hell attacking fleet had gotten undetected so far into the star system.

Lord Admiral Yurima smiled as the reports of the damage wrecked on the enemy fleet was reported and chuckled coldly when the next news came in from an techician. "Lord Admiral Yurima, the remaining enemy ships are withdrawing to the 6th planet, it looks like they are planning to regroup and delay us as intercepted transmitions to the enemy's second Fleet and their High command have informed of our arrival." Lord Admiral Yurima replied. "Pursue them, the enemies second fleet will be out of communation range for some time intil they exit subspace and then they will have to regather in order to come after us. We will destory the remander of the fleeing enemy fleet then set an course for Tirah Four." The Techican snapped to attention in response went to send out the orders. Soon the Grand Fleet gave chase to the Fleeing Tirah Fleet.

7th Planet, Shattered remains of the 3rd Ducial Fleet headquarters.

Fleet Admiral Ivania Threpes was creatively cursing. She was stuck in her orbital Headquarters with her command staff, and the place was half slagged. Most of her fleet was destroyed or disabled. Out of the whole fleet she had 40 Fleet Assault Ships, 5 Patrol ships, and two Frigates left that weren't destroyed or floating in space disabled and they were fleeingu under her orders to the 6th planet to regroup with the enemy fleet in hot pursuit. What had her cursing however was that she couldn't contact the 2nd fleet. They had alrightly left for patrol of the nearby solar systems, that ment they would be out of contact for unknown amount hours and then they would have return. Ships leaving for deep space patrol usually left slowly as there was no hurry. She frowned this wasn't good. somebody had planned this in advance to pull off such timing.

11th Planet, 2rd Ducal Fleet Headquarters.

Fleet Admiral Mortious Borsia was cursing up an storm so badly an demon would blush. The unknown attackers had struck at the worse pausable time, there was no way he could contact his fleet, until they arrived in the systems they were going to patrol then they would have to return which while faster would still take time and by then the enemy forces could be attacking the home world. There was times when it really didn't pay to get to get out of bed.

The Tirah homeworld, The Ducial High Command and headquarters for the frist Ducial Fleet.

High Admiral Yuran Hirshami calmly ordered preperations for the defense of the Planet then sent an message down planetside of the incoming fleet. He then followed by ordering the remander of the 3nd fleet to fall back to the homeworld but to attempt to delay the enemy as much as possable. He needed all the time they could buy, the Planet below needed to ready for possable invasion if they failed to hold the enemy off and if the 2nd fleet didn't arrive in time.

Lord Admiral Yurima smirked as he watched his fleet chase the remains of the enemy fleet to 6th planet, it seemed the enemy was regrouping and according to his comm techicans the messages were flying back and forth between among the Three orbital Stations of the Tirah Navial forces. He had no doubt that by now the Tirah homeworld was aware and preparing for the attack. Good, he wanted his revenge but he wanted to crush the Tirah forces in an fair fight to make it even sweeter.

Beyond the range of the longest ranged sensers and Decection systems of the Zroin and the Tirah, two Warlord fleets conists each of the combined fleets of 3 warlords waited for the two sides to wear each out so they could swoop down and began plunder both countries. Two tiny cloaked scout ships waited near Tirah and Zroin space to monitor what was going on so the fleets pick the best time to strike.

Misha Geran chuckled coldly as she read the report gathered on the recent events. This was perfect for Geran corp. after everything was said and done and both countries were in ruins Geran corp could move in and seize control completely of the ecocomy systems of both countries. And it was all thanks to the bungling of her cousin who got lucky and good timing.

6th Planet, the third moon.

The Shattered remainments of the Third fleet regathered and organized into 5 squadrons of one patrol ship and 8 Fleet Assault ships, the two remaining frigates would act as a distaction as the squardons struck the enemy fleet. They would conduct hit and run tactics to give the homeworld an chance to prepare.

Tirah Homeworld.

As the Frist fleet prepared to defend against the enemy fleet, down below they were preparing for the attack as well. As many Civilains as pausable were moved from the cities into the countryside and beyond to hidden wilderness fastnesses. However much of the Tirah population were farmers and many of this farmers were called up as the Miltia to join the regular army in defending against the incoming invasion, vast sqelling the Tirah army even if they weren't full time soldiers normally.

Lord Admiral Yurima looked at the readouts and grinned, he had to hand it to the enemy, it looked like they were going to preform an Ashan Yurian Battle tactic, it would have worked rather well if it wasn't for the fact that they broadcasted what they were going to do. It seemed the enemy was not trained very long to work together. He ordered that the fleet prepare an Tordri formation, that would take care of that and then ordered the fleet forward.

Elsewhere another faction of Tordorans was monitoring the growing conflect. Queen Seria, ever watchful of chances to advance the power and wealth of her country was monitoring the sitation. The Gerexi mines of Tirah were extremely valuable and Tordor had no Gerexi mines, leaving the country dependent on imported or extremely expensive produced Gerexi. If they could seize the mines it would greatly advance the Tordor's plans and they would make profit off what wasn't used by their fleets. She ordered her miltary commanders to draw up battle plans for an move on Tirah.

OOC:My, we got enough factions intrested in doing something to the Poor Tirah's system, the Zrion out for revenge, the Zoir Warlords planning to plunder both the Zroin and the Tirah after they wear each other out, the Corporation Geran Corp. up to no good as usual and The Tordoran Government planning to seize control of Tirah for the Gerexi mines.

IC:Emperor Mishami read reports from his spies. So war had erupted over the Tirah system control. So far it was just to countries going at it, the natives and an nation from the remains of an allaince seeking revenge. What he was concerned about was that an major power might try to seize the system for the mining operations. He couldn't allow that, if Tirah became an colony it would hurt Zerni trading operations on the planet. He sent orders to have the sitiation monitored and to his Fleet commander to keep an eye on the sitation and prepare for war to intervene to protect the Tirah's indepence.

OOC:This is going to get intresting, at least 5 factions from various nations fighting over one Star system.
