Chapter II, "Into the Deep".

As the first of the two ShaRa occupied planets came into Sambizie control, the "Coalition" of Earth vessels has secured the "outmost" rim of the GZNRII System. However, with the destruction of the wormhole by the fleaing ShaRa fleet, the journey of the coalition is far but over.

Ahead of lies the Homeworlds of the Zoarg Empire. Beyond that, The homeworlds of the ShaRa Empire. Our forces are strong and even more united that when we started this journey. The ShaRa will soon fall and the freeworlds of the Zoarg Empire, will continue their path of greatness.

Once again, the time has come to press onward, deep into the Empire....

Incoming Transmission-Galatic Command

I am Zoarg,
Two years ago, a single fighter transversed into Zoarg space. A "realy-beacon", placed by the Empire of Sambizie, had been monitoring "log" reports of the Zoarg pilot. A universal safeguard and coding sequence had been downloaded into the beacon. Up until several days ago, the incoming transmissions had been authenticated. However, the last messages had been scrambled, thus implying, that the beacon had been tampered with.

We now know, that our coalition are not the only ships out here. A small fleet of Sambizie and Zoarg vessels have departed Siesana orbit a fwe days ago. The small fleet has yet to report, as they attempted to "collect" the becon. We are unsure as to the status of the fleet. The Zoarg are now in the process of gathering more intel and preparing the remainder of the fleet for active duty. The Zoarg Fleet will gather at the GhHari Mining Station, before going to warp.

OOC:Ok, as with the last one, this is an invite only. If you would like to participate, you must contact the Empire of Sambizie, as you will need to "pass" through his space to reach the "Coalition" fleets. Pretty much everyone that was in the first chapter, may RP here also.

INVITE LIST
Adejaani
Elara
Sambizie
The Snel Race
Sunset

Waiting List:

OOC: I had 2000 Marines on Siesana, but no one cared. :cry: And I was invited by Sambizie.

OOC: About time, Zoarg, I was going to go crazy. :lol:

NG, maybe now it's time to get ships? I can sell you a dozen Sambizie class Destroyer Escorts. Not much punch, but good for support, recon and fleet picket. :wink: And I did acknowledge your prescence on the other side.

IC: "Ah, at last, just when I thought things had stalled." Commodore Nicholas sipped at his mug of hot chocolate as he reviewed and planned. The technological edge had been pushed forward and literally every day, a new technology arrived to make Adejaani forces much more lethal than before. Though unfortunately, the new Cruisers he'd been waiting for were still not available.

Adejaani "deploying" assets (those assets headed along for the fight)

3x Constitution Battle Carriers
12x Sambizie Destroyer Escorts (Flight IB)
504x Hammerhead
288x Mako
48x Howler
144x ISSCV/APC
1000x Marines

Standby forces:

12x Sambizie Destroyer Escorts (Flight IB)

OOC: :lol:

IC:The Sambizie have prepared the following vessels in addition to the initial "Spearhead" group:

- 3x "Costitution" Class Battle Carriers

Before we start, there a few guidlines for coalition members to review.

1. The Siesana Moonbase is strictly "OFF LIMITS" to all non LFW members.
2. The city of New Sambizie is strictly off limits to non LFW members with the exception of approved Elarian personal.
3. The Adejaani/Sambizie shipyards are open to the nations announced earlier. However, it will be that nations responsibility to maintain and secure their own "wing" of the facility.
4. The Sambizie station is open to all coalition members with the exception of the Operations Center.
5. All persons wishing to enter the "station" areas, will be disarmed. If any member is caught with a weapon of any type, they will be escorted back to their vessel and station priviliges revoked for life. If their is no representing vessel at the time of removal, the offender will be placed into the brig until the next transport to Earth becomes available.

In respect to battle situations:
1. It will be your nations responsibility to establish you own supply lines. The Sambizie Station and the GhHari Fueling station are at the disposal of coalition members at no cost. However, you will not be able to "board" the GhHari Station what so ever.
2. A temporary "jump-gate" has been established for members who still require re-supply from Earth. A Galatic Fleet escort will meet all vessels exiting this gate. We strongly suggest that you select a few supply ships as "permanant" suppliers for your forces. Submit the names of the ships Captains to the Sambizie OPS for signature reconition authorization codes. This will prevent your ships being accidently fired upon by the defence grid.

Overall: OOC
-No number wanking
-estimate time to the best of your ability, (remember...it took you 3 months FTL to reach this system, thus re-supply will not be instantanious)
-If your ships are damanged during battle, they may retreat to the shipyards for repair. There are only 3 slips and 2 drydocks available. So it is on a first come first serve basis. (again...material and supplies are up to you)

We hope you understand the security measures we are taking. They are not only for us, but you as well. I only ask that those of you who are still on Earth, keep your Earth wars and differances on Earth.

Respectfully,

OOC: Acknowledged about the rules. And just to add/explain a few things:

1: The Adejaani "wing" of the shipyards are free for everyone to use, but we'd get priority (if there's a ship in there, that'd finish repair/refit, but then we'd take over for our ships).

2: "Adejaani City One" (city of one million on Siesana) will become a massive stockpile facility, with the new New Empire class multipurpose transports ready to come on line to resupply. Any nation is free to call on and use the stocks and transports, but again, Adejaani ships get priority.

3: Also, I'm going to be sprinkling in the whole Granger/Williamson/Magnia as an RP. It's WAY far from the action, so no one would know about it. :P I'm not sure how that'll turn out, but please try not to interfere.

OOC: Okay those rules above are clear. No one freak, Im Invited.

IC:

Corps Admiral Albrecht gave the helms men the order to have the O'Connor stand by as the California, Connecticut, and Maryland docked for thier new propulsion system installations. He hoped that they would have room for the Flagship in which he was in command of at the time. He then gave the order to the rest of the 1st Vanguard fleet to stand by and set up a defensive perimeter. He knew the enemy was far from them, but he'd be dammed if some of the Space Corps' finest were destroyed. That made 46 ships total now in the area under his command. The flag ship O'Connor the 1st Vanguard Fleet lead by the 3 Command Batle frigates now getting thier new propulsion systems installed. That also included 16,000 Marnes stationed along the fleet ready to be dropped if needed. He didnt expect to.

OOC: If you want stats on any of the things I mentioned Drop me a TG or check this thread(you'll have to do some searchin for it)

*secret rp*
http://home.tu-clausthal.de/~inmc/karin/shadowcover.jpg
Deep within the the Empire...The 5th and 14th War Fleet, along with the 118th Invasion Task Force, drop out of hyperspace. The "monumental" sized fleet of the entire ShaRa Quadrant Division, sit just outside the sensor range of a tiny uninhabited planet. Several hours later, a wormhole opened in front of the fleet. Emerging was the 31st Task Force and 291st Slaver Division. Amongst the fleets, hundreds of colonyships and thousands of fighters. This massive grouping of fleets, as ordered by the Emperor himself, begin to unload hundreds upon hundreds of transport dropships to the surface. This would become the resting place for millions of "Rebel" militants.

As the massive fleet of over 100 warships stands by, the fleet is joined by a smaller flett of approx. 20+ vessels. It was that of the GhHari Fleet and supply detachment. The lead battleship of the GhHari fleet joined with a ShaRa Planet-Killer, (OOC: Type of vessel...doesn't really destroy planets, but has a crew of over 5,000). The smaller battleship docks, and is dwarfed by the massife ship.

Aboard what would be no doubt a "Flagship" of the Empire. The Elder is fully briefed by the Siesana System Lord. Species designations of the invaders of Zoarg space are transmitted to the Emperor himself.

A few weeks pass before the fleet detects a faint, very distant signal. A detatchment of ships was sent to investigate the signal. Upon arrival, a tiny becon of Zoarg orgin was discovered. Upon further investigation, it was later discoverd to be a "life boat" becon for a Phantom Class Recon. Craft, to be exact. Long-range scanners detected a small fleet, (approx. 5 vessels), approaching fast. The ShaRa fleet cloaked and awaited the incoming fleet, but not before "preping" the battlefield.

As the tiny Coalition fleet dropped out of hyperspace, thousands and thousands of magnetic, homing, anti-ship mines attatched themselves to the hulls of the various vessels. (OOC: The mines are approx. the size of a frisbe..equalivant to 50 pounds of C-4 each. Their existance is "masked" by the "beacons" signal. They create an infinant loop of the originating signal.) Upon the detonation of the mines and with the help of the coalition fleet dropping out of hyperspace within the field, the coalition vessels didn't have time to react. What was left of the small fleet, was ultimately destroyed by the war ships.(OOC: Just in case, Zoarg and Sambizie have accepted these losses already, as the knowledge of this fleet is still unknown).

The ShaRa Fleet, once again litters space with the tiny mines, a sort of early warning device, then returns to the main battlegroup. The findings of the becon have been discussed by the Elder, it is apparent that there "is" a Zoarg presence in the area. It is unknown howmany or where, but the main fleet stands by.
-------------------------------------------+--------------------------
Within Sol....

The tiny fighter of the ShaRa remains cloaked and conducts recon. of the planetary system. With the amount of fleets occupying this system, it is reletively easy to hide and remain undetected, especially when no one is looking for you. The fighter drifts ever so close, past the 9th and 8th planets of the system, before detecting a familiar signal. While the fighter maintains it's distance it "shadows" the signal...watching...waiting.....

*secret rp/introduction*

Deep in the heart of the now occupied Zoarg Empire, a large clan of Zoarg loyalist, believed to be scientist and factroy workers, unite. The "Ironea" Clan, led by former Supreme Commander of the Galatic Fleet, Vl'oark, gathers his men in an undisclosed bunker complex deep within the ShaRa production city of "Klauous".

This band of militants, secretly supplying themselves with ShaRa technology and "certain" manufacturing specifications, are ready to take up arms against their oppressors. While this clan has been manufacturing supplies for the ShaRa for the past 15 years, measures have been taken in anticipation for this day...the day the Shara 5th and 14th War Fleets, along with the 118th Invasion Task Force, departed this planets orbit in presuit of other matters. It has now been over 2 months since the ShaRa Fleet departed. All that is left are a small ShaRa infantry fleet and a sizeable force of "Slavers".

A critical error or perhaps our deaths, the time is now. The Ironea Clan along with the Ironea populas formally declares it's indepence from ShaRa rulership. We will will fight to rid this planet of all ShaRa Slavers and hold strong against any re-enforcements. The last manufactured "batch" of ShaRa "Banshee" fighters, (1000 in total), have been "tainted" by our workers. Their targeting will lock on foreign craft but the weaponary, when fired will presue only ShaRa vessels. These fighters were called upon by the ShaRa fleet before they departed the area. It is not known where or why the ShaRa Fleet left, but we do know that the elimination of their presence, has opened a window for us to strike back with vengence.
------------------------------------------+----------------------------

And so it begins....

We have occupied a defensive position along the southern bank of mending river called Cheluk. Vl'oark has dispatched the greater part of this force on the right flank, as this is where there is a military barracks and ShaRa armoury. It is here we anticipate the greatest ShaRa resistance. We will attack the ShaRa left flank 6,000 strong while another 3 Clan Divisions consisting of another 3,000 each are also dispatched....

On the "underground" network, the message is passed to every Ironea man, woman, and child to take up arms against the ShaRa troops....

Caught somewhat by suprise, ShaRa Legions become victim of their own weaponary. A full Legion, (8,000) is sent to defend the outpost at the point where the Zoarg Militants have gathered. They have begun firing at will.

*secret rp*

The outpost Legion is there as a diversionary attack against the militants defending their position. Three Legions are dispatched to the next river crossing to the North.....

-Losses-
Infantry: 1,250

The Clan, situated on the left flank, (outpost river crossing), are managing to hold off any advancing ShaRa troops from the outpost. The order is given to hold position until re-enforcements arrive.

Approx. 15 minutes later, two of the other Clans have arrived in support at the outpost river crossing. There are now 12, 000 infantry on the left flank. They have made a slow push towards the outpost.

-Losses-
Infantry:
KIA- 1,000
WIA- 500
MIA- Unknown.

As the Outpost Legions continue to fall, the other Legions have made their way across the North crossing. They have begun marching towards the left flank of the militant clans. At the outpost, the ShaRa Legions...Suprised by the militant re-enforcements and judging by all the dead bodies, the ShaRa have been taking a beating. The outpost Legions are only offering little to sparatic resistance, as so it seems....

Losses: 2,250

The three Ironea Clans are ordered to advance on the outpost. As the Clans press forward, only minimal resistance is met. After a couple of hours of brutal fighting and advancments, The clans have crossed the river and are attempting to secure the outpost...

-Losses-
Infantry:
KIA- 250
WIA- 25
MIA- Unknown

The outpost Legions fall in their entirity, (8,000)

As the militants make their way across the river, the previously dispatched Legions have caught up, and are now attacking the militants "now" exposed, left flank. The Legions take presuit and are positioned to the rear of the clans. They will now, retake the outpost....

Caught by suprise, the clans rush towards the outpost. Turning only to shoot, the ShaRa Legions are making their way across the river, while the clans have taken a defensive position within the outpost. As quick as they can get their hands on "fresh" weapons from the armoury, they are passed to the troops.

Meanwhile....

The final Clan has now arrived and firing at the rear of the presuing ShaRa. It is now, that they are "trapped" within the river crossing with troops in front and behind them. Supreme Commander Vl'oark stands tall as the order is given..."Fire at Will". The thrill of battle and knowing that the ShaRa are all but defeated, the "fresh" troops rush the rear line of the ShaRa, screaming, "bayonet's!".

-Losses-
Infantry:
KIA- 500
WIA- 250
MIA- Unknown

The ShaRa Legions were now trapped at the rivercrossing. With the fire coming in from the rear during the presuit, the Legions were caught off guard. The startled legions tried to scatter, but couldn't. As some continued to fight in presuit, the others fired at the rear, but the end result was the same...they began to "press" their backs against one another...grouping. The legions on the exterior began to get "picked" off one by one, as the legions in the middle could not fire and the ones who tried, only killed themselves...

It was now evident...The ShaRa defenders have fallen. Though they lost this battle, each ShaRa knows, that when the fleet hears about it...their deaths we be paid for two-fold....

After several hours of brutal battle, a message has been dispatched to the Fleet as the last Legion falls..."Ironea has been Liberated"

Ironea has been liberated...

OOC: This is Zoarg, any coalition member who can tell me what American, "Epic" battle just took place AND the real idenity of Vl'oark, the planet of Ironea and it's populas will be free for you claim as a colony for your nations.

thanks bud :D

:wink: Cya...

OOC: Sorry Ive been away friends , I lost a family member and things have been kind of rough. But now Im back , and ready to kick some bug butt. No offense to any non ShaRa bugs out there.

IC:

The Elarian Fleet sits just outside of Siesana awaiting its orders. In command of the fleet is Centurion Terian , she has been in a few wars that the Empire has had and has proven herself without a doubt.

In Elarian Space an enormous vessel is being built just outside of the Kebrel Space Station. Its not a war vessel although it has defenses, this would be one of the first times an Elarian Vessel was not being built as a machine of war. What was it for if not for war?

At the Empire's secret research facility that "Doesnt Exist" named Gestry the Elarian ancient ship that first brought the Elarian to Earth from whatever they were escaping from is still being studied. Elarian Scientists are puzzled and very frustrated , it has technology they have never before seen and the secrets of their past might not be found for sometime. Nevertheless they push on.

OOC: Im sorry Elara, TG me or AIM if you wish.

IC: The recent release of space tech in the CLF has made it important for all fleet vessels to bne re-fit. Seeing as all vessels in this region are now free, they are going to retunr for the re-fit, and then retunr here. Estimated time till return to this system: 12 NS days.

The Sambizie Fleet has gathered near the GhHari station along with the Zoarg Fleet. Final system checks are being performed before jumping to hyperspace. The Sambizie "Leadship" is a McAurther Class SCVN, commanded by Fleet Kro'tuk, Johanas Santaka. It is noted that the Sambizie Flagship is not present.

"Coallition Fleet , we stand ready to follow you into the unknown." "May the ShaRa live well , for soon they will be dust and ashes." "Prince Sven out."

Transmission Closed.

Prince Sven , human adopted son of Emperor Roland Meridius with his own personal ship has been sent by Roland to lead the Elarian Fleet in this campaign , at least for a time. Sven is excited , he thinks of the honor his father has bestowed on him with this mission for the Empire.

Commodore Nicholas stood on the bridge of the ANS Constitution at the end of an honor guard of ships arrayed at the mouth of the wormhole. CAG Graham and Colonel Reynolds also stood nearby, waiting. "Wormhole is opening" a technician calls out.

Sure enough, the wormhole opened a a long, hourglass shaped vessel emerged. Eight brand new Imitora class Cruisers emerged and took up positions along the honor guard line. The second Adejaani indigenous space vessels, they had much more firepower and dwarfed their little Sambizie class Destroyer cousins. But the biggest ones were to come.....

"Another ship coming through. It's huge." The tech calls out again. Despite the briefings and pictures, nothing compared to seeing the sheer size and majesty of the ship to come.

http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/images/Izumod.jpg
ANS Saratoga DN-3 as viewed from ANS Constitution CVA-1

ANS Lexington and Saratoga were massive. Almost one and a half kilometres long, they were classified as "Dreadnoughts" (DN) of the New Genoa class with a "One Salvo, One Kill" philosophy. They had an awesome weapon to that effect, which, while draining the ship of most of its power, was worth it. The ship also had a massive secondary armament, still capable of outfighting the Imitora class.

The massive size was needed to accomodate its main weapon, which had the added benefit of a massive hangar bay. Each ship alone had more than three times the fighter complement of the Constitution. This would be the ultimate weapon against the ShaRa, a huge hole will be blasted in their lines, with the smaller Cruisers, Destroyers and Fighters exploiting it, flanking, blasting the enemy apart......

A stifled laugh snapped Dan Nicholas back into reality. The Lexington seemed to have lost power and was drifting. Nicholas sighed. The only way to power the mass of systems and keep everything going was to use two power cores. And even then, the shoehorning, jury rigging and fast tracking the ships' development led to some huge problems in performance. They maneuvered like pregnant yaks and the systems were temperamental at best.

What's even worse is, Nicholas remembered, the development of the class had ballooned out to roughly 12 trillion Allied Credits spread over the course of many years. All for four ships (the New Genoa itself and an unnamed fourth ship remained back at home) which were big, clunky and worked only half the time, but were absolutely devastating when they did.....

It has been some time since the Sambizie and Zoarg flagships departed the GZNRII system. After several months of travel, the two flagships and their escorts arrive at the designated co-ordinates. Emperor Zoarg and Emperor Uganda stand on the bridges of their respective ships. Next to Mwto'ar stands the man dressed in all black. His face conceled to the rest of the bridge crew. As the fleet comes to a slow halt, all vessels were ordered to hold a defencive holding pattern. Time seems to have stood still for Mwto'ar as he awaits this meeting.

Mwto'ar and the other man stand in silence. The crew of the vessels are silent as well. For the first time, not even the Commander's know of the objectives behind this deployment. All they know is that it must be important enough to warrent the presence of two Emperors and dangerous enough to "run" under red alert for 5 months.

The man standing next to Mwto'ar points to a navigation computer, "It is there". Mwto'ar ordered the coms officer to open hailing in the direction he pointed. The coms officer not seeing anything, follows the Emperors orders. Seconds after the hail is sent, a responce is received, "Sh'likut uttah nav dr'revek".

The man turns to Mwto'ar, "They are ready, inform Zoarg". Mwto'ar gives a slight nod and presses a button on the coms panel, sending an encrypted message directly to the Zoarg flagship. Within minutes, the Emperors shuttle departs the ship and is enroute to the Sambizie vessel. Mwto'ar opens a com and addresses the crew: Lower shields, stand down all weapons...General Quarters...Anyone who acts without my concent will be punished.

Moments after the orders are issued and the shields of the fleet ships are dropped, the vessels(s) they were meeting decloaked....

OOC: Welcome back, Sambizie.

IC: "Signal the Fleet. We're headed to Gh'Hari for last minute supplies." Commodore Nicholas stood on the bridge of the Constitution and watched as the vanguard jumped to warp. The two dreadnoughts wheeled about, building up energy for their massive wormhole drives. Although it had been planned to equip them with warp like their smaller cousins, the energy cost to maintain a warp field that size was staggering. Wormholes, by comparison drew "relatively" less power. But that didn't stop Nicholas from whistling softly as he watched the science console at their energy readouts as both ships streaked off. Finally, the Constitution engaged her own engines and the stars started streaking.

OOC: Dont worry about it samb, its all good.

IC:
Admiral O'Connor gave the order and the ships entered the system. At the head of the 1st VF was the LFSC's Flag ship. The O'Connor The first and only battle crusier of the Corps. Commanded by the son of the Chancellor, Simon O'Connor had proven himself as a good leader. The vessel was a unique(for us atleast) cross between a carrier and a battleship. Holding 3 wings(36) of Fighters, and having the heavy armament of a battleship, it was a magnificent foe. The fleet commenced through the gate and to the Gh'Hari station. The next of thier supply convoys was expected in 8 hours.

At the moment Zoarg departed his vessel, a small ShaRa vessel departed from The ShaRa warship. After the shuttle departed, the masive ShaRa vessel disappeared. Mwto'ar curious to see what was happening on the sensor panels, noticed nothing...nothing at all. There were no "traces" of anything.

The man standing next to Mwto'ar, gently tapped him on the shoulder and prompted him in the direction of the turboshaft. The two men entered and the turboshaft took them to the shuttle bays. As the doors opened, heavely armed Zoarg and Sambizie space Marines lined the cooridor. The man walking with Mwto'ar turned only to say, "This will not be necessary", as he points to the troops. Mwto'ar gave a slight nod and a wave of his right hand. It was then the troops began to file out of the cooridor.

The two men reached the shuttlebay and proceeded through the doors. Upon entering, Emperor Zoarg stood looking at the ShaRa shuttle as it entered the bay. For Mwto'ar, this was somewhat the first and closest he has been to a ShaRa vessel. The very ship itself, facinated Mwto'ar. The silentness, the grace and the mystique of the vessel held Mwto'ar and also Zoarg for that matter, in a trance-like state.

As the ShaRa vessel softly landed, an opening emerged from within the hull. It was hard to see any type of opening at all, as the vessel appeard to have no front, no back, no top, bottom, or whatever...it was just a "mass". Mwto'ar, expecting to see a "spider" emerge, he was quite shocked to see a "human-like" figure walk down the ramp.

As the ShaRa "pilot"/"diplomat" approached, the man standing next to Mwto'ar knelt on one knee, "My Lord", he stated....

As the Sambizie Fleet is now fully prepared to engage the ShaRa one again, a "special" pre-recorded message has been transmitted to the coalition command ships.

Emperor Mwto'ar Uganda appears on the screen....

Dear friends, allies, and brothers...Several days ago at 8:00pm Sambizie Standard Time, High Command received a disturbing transmission orginating from, Sambizie Listening Post 871,(Pictured below). The message was as follows:
http://www.seti-usa.com/images/seti.jpg
"Thi_ is Lt. Com_a_der J. G__o's<stop> We ha__ been att_ck_d by an un__own agr__o_<stop> Main sy__te_ms off__ne<stop> Engag__g Pr_t_cal Z_lu 278<stop> It ap_ears that_______"END TRANSMISSION>>>>

Luckly, a division of Sambizie Peacekeepers were conducting a military exercise only 2 miles North of Station 871. But, as we found out...it was two miles too far. When the Peacekeepers arrived, the post was found almost completely destroyed. All 16 personnel are presumed dead. As the investigation continues we know this to be fact:

1. The station was destroyed via explosives. Experts have concluded that the orgin of the blast originated in the "Canned Foods" section of the stations storage area.

2. The last supply convoy to service the station was approx. 1 month ago.

All shipping and transport manifest are being investigated as well as the men that delievered the supplies. In addition to the normal activity at post 871, this facility also was a "sub-storage" bank of information relating to the National Barcode Records. It will take several years to track and know for certain who's names were on the list. We are confident, that Sambizie Protocal, Zulu 278 was activated by the stations commander. Thus, the network of listening posts cannot be traced. Our investigation will continue and we hope to have answers for you soon. I did not want to alarm our neighbors within APTO...but I felt it necessary to inform you now as we prepare for battle......

In short, we have things under control and no one has claimed responsibility for this attack, thus leaving us to believe that this has been an isolated incident.

On to other matters....High Command has detected and confirmed a large gathering of ShaRa Fleetships within 5-6 LY's of the planet Ironeia. It has also been confirmed that several uprisings on the planet are currently taking place. It is now evident, that the large fleet has called for reinforcements from the ShaRa Empire. The amount of ships is unknown at this time. We do know, that the other fleet, (by Ironeia) has spred out and taken defensive positions.

Our plan is this: We are certain that our original destination, (Becon Location), has been compramised...or at least "tammpered" with, by ShaRa forces. We feel that it is no longer necessary to investigate this matter.
-The Sambizie Fleet in it's entirity will jump from hyperspace roughly 2 LY's from the planet Ironeia. At that time, fighter contingents along with smaller warships will conduct recon. missions of the coalitions right flank.
-Fighters that encounter larger ShaRa warships, will transmit their locations to the main fleet. Fighter squadrons are ordered NOT to engage large ShaRa vessels.

We are confident that we can handle the war fleet of the ShaRa off our right flank. However, we will need another fleet to conduct the same on the left flank as well as a "Spearhead" Invasion force that will ultimately secure the planet Ironeia. If all goes well, we will cut the ShaRa forces in half and have an established presence on the planet before the ShaRa reinforcements arrive. I would welcome any suggestions that will help us impliment this plan, or if you wish to submit another plan of action....feel free to do so now.

As always...My best to your citizens and brave men and women...

M. Uganda

The Sambizie are now authorized to jump into the hostile sector. We await word from the coalition commanders....

OOC: I will post the Fleet specifications when we depart.

General Transmission:
From: Vice Admiral Jain Granger, Adejaani Fleet
To: All friendly forces commands

As you can tell, I have returned from my sojourn to try and make peace with the Magnian people, who came from the remnants of the ANS Philadelphia early during the campaign. While I was unable to secure peace per se, I was able to forge a non aggression pact with my wayward brethren and also secured a treaty whereby they are not allowed to help the Sha'Ra, as some of the more militant Magnian factions had proposed.

On to business. The Adejaani Fleet will commit to the bulk of our forces to the "left flank" action, with one of our Dreadnoughts with the "main body" to cut a hole through the Sha'Ra lines. In addition, with our new transport capabilities, three full Marine Star Rifle Divisions, plus a large number of Battalions await landing on Ironea.

In addition, deep space recon, plus information bartered from the Magnians indicate a string of Sha'Ra resupply points. Groups of one Carrier plus escorts can be assigned to lightning strike them, to keep the Sha'Ra off balance, but we defer to your judgement.

Admiral O'Connor stood on the bridge of the O'Connor and over looked the re-supply operations. The last of the cargo was being loaded into the various bays of the fleet vessels. The Skipper, and leader of the Bajoran Transport convoy sent the admiral a messege letting him know they had finihsed thier drop off and were preparing to leave the area. The Admiral aknowledged the messege and the bajoran frieghters were on thier way. His communications officer, and Ensign walked up to him and handed him a PADD...

"Here sir, transmission from Sambizie HQ"
"Thank you Siki", He read the messege, a grin grew on his face. "Ensign, take this down: 'Sambizie Command, It saddens me to hear the fate of your listening post. The deaths in war hit us all, not matter how hardened we may be. I have found the best way to recover from the sorrow is redemption. Those ShaRa have dealt such blows to you, and our other allies for far too long. We are greatly honnored to be given the chance to fight by your side. I hereby offer my enitre Fleet. (Specs avalable on demand) as the affore mentioned spearhead that you called for. We will show those ShaRa what true warriors do for redemtion. We all will.'
Did you get that Ensign?"
"Yes sir."
"Good, then send it"
"Aye sir," The officer did so...

Mwto'ar stands atop a smoke covered hill. The smoke, so thick that Mwto'ar can not see his feet. As he fumbles his way across the mounds, the smoke begins to clear but the steanch begins to grow. He struggles to gain even a foot of ground. He looks down and discovers the dirt and mud he was forging through, was that of mutilated, bloody corpses.

The very sight and smell forced Mwto'ar into a rage. He climbed as fast as he could, trying not to look into the eyes of the dead. Suddenly, the air became colder, but yet the steanch remained. Quicker and quicker Mwto'ar "clawed" his way to the top of the piled bodies. Mwto'ar then knelt above the bodies as he overlooked this horrific "Valley of Death."

Off in the distance...a familiar sound, one that has not been heard for many years. Mwto'ar stands, grasping the hilt of a bloodsoaked blade. He draws the Elarian weapon, which has been handed upon him by the Emperor, Meridius Roland. Mwto'ar makes his way into the valley with seeming ease, all the while the voice draws him closer.

Mwto'ar finds himself kneeling with his weapon in hand, beneath the first King's seat, that of his grandfather...The man upon it, propped up only by the spear driven through his body, stated "Look at me my child, let me see what I once was." Mwto'ar lifted his head to see the face of his grandfather. As his eyes lifted, it was the face of Utto'ar that was staring back at him....
---------------------------------------++----------------------------
"What the..., Mwto'ar stated as he sat bolt upright. Sweating perfusly, but yet having chills, he wiped his face. He swung his legs over the edge of the bead and started towards the restroom fo his private quarters. He leaned over the sink with both hands braced firmly on either side. He lifted his head to see if he looked as he felt. His pale face, dripping with sweat, stared back at him with the burning images of moments ago.....
