In Deep Space... [Future Tech RP]
Chronicles of a Nation
There was once a great civilization that prospered. One day, however, their star exploded, destroying the entire system. The survivors were in four large colony ships, six capital ships, twenty-two frigates, and hundreds of fighters. Only five million people.
They roam the region of Deep Space, looking for a homeland, but so far they have only found violence and hostility. The Great Space Fleet wanders still to this day in that large, uncharted region.
One day, not too long ago, they came across a deserted fleet of ships. It was of a civilization far more advanced than ever known before to the Fleet.
"I think we need help to scout this massive fleet we have found," stated a commander. "I will send out a distress beakon. Hopefully someone can get to Deep Space quickly." And with that, the commander pressed a red button...
Today, the beakon has reached within range of space-faring nations.
[OOC: A fleet the size of the Great Space Fleet is not a godmod. Even though we are a new nation, my whole nation of five million is in that fleet; we have no homeland. You may ask where we could build it. We are the only survivors of a great civilization that built such great fleets.
Also, don't call me a n00b. This is a nation made by a roleplaying veteran, for the purpose of having a futuristic nation. However, you will never see me interact with my main nation because my main nation is in the modern era and this nation is in the future.]
The Xanthalian Republic, ever curious and eager to meet new reaces and nations, dispatches a diplomatic fleet (2 Andromeda class, 1 Super Andromeda class, and assorted transports and civilian craft) to the position of The Great Space Fleet. (E.T.A.: Not long.)
Plot Summary on Actual RP:
The Great Space Fleet has found an even greater fleet - which is abandoned. They have sent a beakon because they need help scouting it.

TRANSMISSION (encrypted - auto unencrtypts when reaches destination)
We will welcome your diplomatic fleet. You must first tell us the discription of the fleet as there are many pirate vessles in this region of Deep Space. Also, we are currently scouting a strange fleet that is more advanced than ours, but is deserted. Help is wanted.
END OF TRANSMISSION
The Xanthalian fleet arrives at the position specified, a few thousand kilometers from both fleets. "This is IAS-01 of the Xanthalian Republic. We are here to open diplomatic relations with The Great Space Fleet."
The newly space faring nation of Rafale detected the Great Space Fleet on sensor arrays. Always willing to explore, a recon fleet consisting of the Flagship 'Silver Wolf', 2 Millenium Battle ships, and several supporting vessels was detached. ETA is 5.6 Days (NS days :)
DIRECT TRANSMISSION TO DIPLOMATIC FLEET
This is the GSF Hope, the main colony ship. You have permission to dock in hanger bay B2. Our leader will be waiting for your diplomats.
END OF TRANSMISSION
The GOU I'll Smack You One drifts in the vacuum, acting as a listening post for a small mining operation on an asteroid. It picks up the Great Fleet's Beakon, and after a short exchange with the mining operation's head, powers up engines and heads for the beakon's position....
"Acknowledged"
IAS-01 moves in to dock with the massive ship, the others stay outside.
Minutes later, IAS-01 has docked and it's crew are waiting for the airlocks to open.
One of the fighters scouting the fleet area found something strange drifting in space.
Uh... Guys. You should take a look at this.
Silver Wolf has come into sensor range of the Great Space Fleet. It detects other ships as well. Silver Wolf and the Battleships Hypirion and Ares Move close.
*To Ships of the The Great Space Fleet. We are here to assist you. we are going to send a shuttle over to unload diplomats after you give us the Go ahead.Hypirion,Ares and Silver Wolf have all detected faint energy signtiures coming from a nearby system. Pirates may be upon us soon.*
When the airlocks open, the crew of the IAS-01 are greeted by two messengers, who tell them to go to the bridge (command center) where the newly elected High Commander is. There, there the leaders of the Great Space Fleet are waiting for the meeting.
As a note, the intercom system within the ship is malfunctioning.

You have permission to dock in hanger bay B5. Our leader will be waiting for your diplomats. As for the pirates, I am readying fighters in hanger bays F1, F3, and A2.
END OF TRANSMISSION
*The GOU shoots into the area (around 750,000km from the fleet), disengaging the FTL engines, but still going at a hefty speed. It powers towards the fleet, and heads straight past all the vessels at a fast pace, conducting scans of all the ships in the area. It loops around, falling back onto its path and heading back the way it came.
Satisfied that these are the vessels that sent out the beakon, the I'll Smack You One slows down to a crawl and transmits a message*

TRANSMISSION TO ALTARON
There is a deserted fleet we are scouting and there are pirates in the region. You may send diplomats to hanger bay B8.
END OF TRANSMISSION
*A small opening appears in the side of the GOU, and a tiny, 1 man shuttle floats out. It heads towards the Hope, and hanger B8.*
*The GOU powers and loads its weapons*
The Admiral sent along on the mission leads the diplomatic team to the command center of the GSF vessel. They arrive a few minutes later.
"Welcome, Xanthal diplomats," the High Commander says as he greats them. "Feel free to sit down on any seat at this conference table."
There are pirates hiding in the ruins of the abandoned fleet!
That was a transmission heard several minutes earlier. The transmission was done by a fighter, probably of the Great Space Fleet.
The diplomatic team is mostly Xanthalian, but there is a Human and two Than in it as well.
The Admiral herself is a dwarf. She makes a humorous sight, but she is intelligent, wise, and quick of mind; just as much or more so than any other Xanthalian Armada admiral. In fact, she is a top candidate for taking the seat of fleet admiral when Fleet Admiral Tirranis retired. With a practiced maneuver she lifts herself into the high chair and her team takes their seats as well.
"It is a singluar pleasure to meet you, sir. The Republic is always eager to meet new races."
"We are of a humanoid race," explained the High Commander. "We are, however, very different in some aspects. For instance, we all have black hair or dark brown hair, our average height is seven feet, and we have no belly buttons."
*The shuttle flies into the bay, and stops. Once the bay has been secured, a lone man in casual dress steps out, and says 'Hello!'*
OOC: We should have someone to play the pirates......
"Indeed? Did your people decend from Humanity?"
*The shuttle flies into the bay, and stops. Once the bay has been secured, a lone man in casual dress steps out, and says 'Hello!'*

As a note, the intercom system within the ship is malfunctioning.
"Indeed? Did your people decend from Humanity?"
"Yes. We are desendants from colonists from Earth," the High Commander replied. "We were living peacefully in a distant system and prospering until our star exploded. The people of the Great Space Fleet are the only survivors."

*The diplomat bows, and eventually finds his way to the bridge of the ship. He stumbles into the conference room, and, looking at all the people sat around, clears his throat and simply says "I hope I'm not too late!"*
"I see. My condolences for your loss. You know, if you would like a planet to call home, you are welcome to move your population to a Xanthalian planet. We are in the process of completing construction on a midsized inhabitable planet, we could replan development to house your people."
*The diplomat bows, and eventually finds his way to the bridge of the ship. He stumbles into the conference room, and, looking at all the people sat around, clears his throat and simply says "I hope I'm not too late!"*

"That would be appreciated. The people of the Great Space Fleet can't last forever in old ships."
EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION
Due to a large fleet of pirates in the area, we may have to relocate. We are also requesting help.
END OF TRANSMISSION
*The diplomat sits down, and introduces himself simply as 'Dave'.*
"So....what's going on?"
A large fleet comes into sight. It consists mainly of fighters, but it has three large capital ships with heavy firepower and numerous hanger bays.
Surrender your ships and we might let you live, their admiral said in a transmission.

[OOC: I got a pirate nation already (called Deep Space Pirates).]
Now, where were we?
"I will inform the government of your request. Would you like to sign a treaty of some kind as well?" The admiral pauses as a transmission from IAS-01 comes through. "Pardon the interruption admiral, but we have a problem. The fleet is reporting pirate presence."
"This is a diplomatic fleet, we are not equipped to fight. Tell the fleet to withdraw and call for Xanthalian warship reinforcements. We'll hold out inside this vessel."
"Yes Sir. Reinforcements should arrive within fifteen minutes. The fleet is withdrawing."
"Sorry about that... So, would you like to sign a treaty?"
IAS-01 remains docked inside the GSF mothership as the rest of the Xanthalian fleet retreats through a transdimensinal gateway.

The Devestator arrives some distance away from everything else going on. Captain Piett sends a transmission back to the Sarapin II Executive Tower:
"We have reached the beacon point. There seems to be a large space fleet here, along with a Xanthalian dimplomatic fleet, and an Altaran GOU. They seem to be investigating an advanced space fleet that was abandoned some time ago. We also detect a small fleet coming out of the debris field with unknown intentions."
Lee: Very well captain, continue to stay out of the action. Assist only when assistance is required of you.

The TSP Wanderer was dispatched to investigate the beacon, unfortuneatly when they go there, the scene wasn't as anticipated...
On one side there was a massive derilict fleet with another active one coming out, and on the other, a large fleet with several colony ships, and a smattering of warships. No one was quite sure what was going on.
The wary Translator on board the ship sent a transmission:
This is the TSP Wanderer, a science ship that is part of the exploration branch of the Torontonias Space Program, we have been dispatched to investigate the beacon, could we be of any assistace, as we have a small assortment of armaments
The rest of the command crew waited nevously for the responce.
TRANSMISSION TO TSP WANDERER
This is the colony ship, the GSP Hope. The people of our fleet are the only people that survived from the destruction of our home system. We have been wandering the region of Deep Space looking for a new home.
When we discovered a derilict fleet, we sent a distress beakon because it is a common hideout for space pirates and because we needed help exploring it. Many nations followed the beakon and sent diplomat ships, but the pirates also followed the beakon.
We have three goals for the moment. 1) Salvage any useful technologies from the derilict fleet; 2) Make allies with other space-faring civilizations; 3) Defeat the Deep Space Pirates who are threatening us.

On the bridge of the capital ship GSF Glory...
"Captain," a man behind a desk said. A beeping noise could be heard. "Sensors pick up a large fleet! The Deep Space Pirates are back! They have more ships!"
"We're picking up a transmission," shouted another man on the bridge.
"Play the message," replied the captain.
"This is the Pirate Command Vessel. Surrender your ships or be destroyed! We have our weapons powered!" boomed an evil voice over the intercom.
"Well," said the captian. "I guess this is going to be the same pathetic fleet and we can scare it off again. On screen!"
The screen turned on and on the screen several things were obvious. There were nine hive ships heading toward the Great Space Fleet on one side and on the other there was a huge ship, only a little bit smaller than the colony ships (the colony ships were very large). That huge ship was painted the shade of an asteroid and was escorted by several capital ships, a couple dosen frigates, and hundreds of fighters.
The captain pressed a button on his desk. This is the GSF Glory. Recall all ships and prepare for an emergency hyperspace of the fleet (Yeah. So I stole that idea from Homeworld: Cataclysm.) and an evacuation to the other side of the region. I repeat, prepare for an emergency hyperspace of the Great Space Fleet.
The fighters were docking and the frigates, capital ships, and colony ships were charging their hyperspace engines. They were preparing to retreat...

Communication to GSF Hope
We propose a deal. FroggyWorld has a giant space station that projects shielding over the planet. We could tow your damaged colony ship and the rest of your fleet to it, and you could dock your ships with our shipyards. You would be protected, and you could relocate to FroggyWorld 2, our "super-planet". It was synthesized to have perfect climate, and easy-to-use production facilities, and most importantly lots of resources. Let us know

I'd prefer you didn't. I'd like to take out this fleet first, and then attack their base with a Planetary Bombardier, and wipe it out completely. You can go ahead but it would be better to destroy this fleet first. Mechs aren't foolproof, either. One shot from a DEMP 2 and I could kill about 5 at once.

Transmission back to the Executive Tower
Piett: Prime minister, there seems there is nothing we need to do here. We have been watching the action from back here, and a report is as follows:
The Great Space Fleet has found an advanced space fleet far beyond anything found in our technology tree
Deep Space Pirates are hiding in the debris field, waiting to ambush any fleet that comes within a few kilometers of them
However, the fleets of powerful nations such as Froggyliciousness have been able to drive the pirates off numerous times, therefore negating the need for our services.
In conclusion, I do not think we would gain anything from staying here. Instead, I suggest a withdrawl back to Earth orbit.

A ship's hyperspace signature could be picked up. It was from the center of Deep Space, in the area known as the Great System. In that system, the Holy Empire of the Great System ruled with an iron fist and the subjects were loyal.
An Imperial Navy Command Ship, came into view.
"This is the the EGS Fist," the captain said over a transmission. "We have come in response of the distress beakon. We are sorry we couldn't have come sooner. We are in the center of Deep Space and this issue is near the region's outskirts." The voice paused. "We offer help in the name of the Holy Empire and the Emperor." He paused again.
"We can identify that the distress beakon was given by a colony ship of a civlization of colonists - most likely humanoid," the man continued. "We have traced the make of the beakon to a system far greater than ours that was destroyed, details unknown. We can also tell that this area right now has no colony ships." He took a breath. "Due to the debris we figure that the colony ship was damaged by fire power - probably pirate. We can also tell that this ship was being towed." He paused yet another time. "Is this information accurate? What is your current situation?"

Also we wish to decline you offer of a security detail, although you may bring one or two bodyguards for your emissary. The TSP Wanderer is quite secure on its own.

I pretty much ruined this rp :(
Anyway, when are the pirates going to post their losses? I'm assuming I completely blew up their entire fleet.
(OOC: Please stop attacking the pirates. I already did, and they didn't post their losses. As soon as they do, you're free to attack them.)
The pirates are fairly active in our regional message board. Just telegram them - I don't think they are aware you have attacked them.
How long will it take for the repairs to be complete?
TRANSMISSION FROM ESCAPE POD:
"This is the leader of the Deep Space Pirates," a man said over a staticy connection. "We will no longer harm your vessels. Our entire fleet has been destroyed, but please spare my life! I will never attack you again if you do!"
OoC - Sorry it took me forever to post losses. I have things to do other than NationStates!
We beleive you. We are picking you up in your escape pod. Don't try anything funny. We have Elite Imperial Guards on our ship. We will take you back to our capital planet.
The EGS Fist opened a small docking bay and the escape pod drifted in.
Ooc - Other nations - don't attack me for doing this. You don't know if it is a trap! :twisted:
I would condem the act of helping my enemies, but it could be an arrest. I must wait and see what happens...
OOC: That's your que, the Great System. Tell us if you are arresting or helping!
The leader of the Deep Space Pirates steps out of the escape pod and...
OoC - This is it. Finish this statement. It can't be any harder on you. Even I want to know what is going on, but you won't tell us!
Fine. I'll finish the statement:
...gets surrounded by Elite Imperial Guards. They arrest him and the [b]EGS Fist[/i] hyperspaces back to the capital planet where the pirate leader will be charged of treason and piracy. He could face life in prision or even the death penalty!
The trial will start soon and all witnesses are invited to come.
OOC - The trial will be in a different thread, that way there will be a poll of guilty or innocent. After the trial is over (if he is guilty), the sentencing will take place in yet another thread where there will be a poll of life or death. Give me a minute to make the first trial thread.

Thank you for your permission to send aboard an emissary. He will be accompanied with two bodyguards, armed with CREWs (information attached).

We will not hesitate to destroy them should they attempt any aggressive action.

We have a representitve from Altaran onboard, and they have a somewhat shakey experience with Hive civilizations so try not to do anything that might upset them. With the situation with the radiation, you are fortuneate enough that we were about the do a core dump into storage, but this is much faster, we will dump the core as soon as this comm is ended
Comm to Altaran: We have prepared a room for you and your guards, but I want you to be aware that we will be docked at the "Node" so if you have any problems with that, you must let us know, but the Fleet has yet to show an agressive stance. Also, I advise you do stay away from the Wanderer for about 2 hours as we are preforming an exterior radiation core dump, as to the Hives request.

The rebels had heard that there were national leaders there, but they didn't know how (un)lucky they were. They head toward the building....

IC: Alarms were going off everywhere, the Hive had gone berserk, enraged by the Altaraniens use of force shown by the two ships that came to back up the "'ll Smack you one"
The Captain Barked out orders, they coudln't see through the windows as the remaining node in an effort to protect the ship had covered it, they still had weapons though, and the sensors were doing thier best to track them, two other ships had been damaged, the Wanderer sent out a distress beakon and ships were on the way
The Captian made the decision, "Arm the Missles!" He yelled
"But Captain, the missles we have aboard are high yeild, theres no telling how damaging they will be to the hive!" Said the officer
"I said DO IT" Barked the Captain
The Missle ports opened and 3 long missles shot out, the targeting computers locked on to the one of the rouge vessels, it hit its target and in a blinding flash, incenerates it, the second one was was immoblized, and the third never made it out of its port....A rouge vessel detected the launch, it made a tactical manuver and destroyed it in launch, the warhead exploded, critically damaging the Wanderer, knocking out engines, weapons, and life support. A large chunk of the ships started floating away.
Onboard the Wanderer, more chaos erupted, the ship was in pieces, the majority of the crew dead or wounded, the bridge was still intact and operational..for now, hopefully the ships would make it in time...

The damage is worse than we first anticipated... The Commander thought to himsekf We'll have to call in A Tech Ship if the damage is too sevear..I've never seen anything like it, it looked like ships eating ships...it was all so bizzare..
The Polytron left the Epsilon to protect the Wanderer, and headed for the Altaranian ship that had a hive ship barreling toward it, with what looked like its jaws wide open. The Ship fired its 3 heavy laser cannons in its best efforts to disable or distroy the advancing Hive ship.

The Captain of the TSDC Polytron watched in dismay as the battle unfolded. he looked at the Wanderer's report on his desk, this entire battle was started by a stanadard computer targeting, how.....absurd, The Hive had apparently lost control of a handful of ships and the Altaranian ships defended themselves, then when the queen arrived, the Altaranians were to punish the lack of control by destroying ALL of the hive ships, including the queen, which would be as the Wanderer Captain said: A Shamelful waste of such a potential Ally and Nation.
But there was nothing they could do, even the Entire Torontonias fleet wouldn't be enough to stop with, the Froggylisiousness ship could wipe out one of our ships in a single volley, and if we did stand up for the Hive, we would be branded as the same as them, and we would be destroyed...
"Sir!" one of the Crewmen shouted! "the Ship What are the Civilian Applications" Has arrived, according to the Wanderer, we were supposed to talk to them about this problem, they have released a general Comm, to you wish to send them one?"
The Captain nodded his head and went into his office:
Tight Feed to What are the Civilian Applications: We wish to apply our dismay at what this has turned into, I understand how anyone would be infurated by this unprovoked act of aggression, I would be as well, But you haveto understand, they Hive ships should be undercontrol from the Queen, perhaps we would be able to help stop this bloodshed, and return to peacefull negotiations.

Comm to Altaran: We stand on the side lines becasue of two reasons, a) We belive there still may be peace with the aliens, and if no one is willing to probe that oportunity, then I will, although you say you have tried diplomacy, WE Have had more friendly and passive contact, so perhaps we will be able to negotiate something...
and b) We do not join the conflict becasue currently we don't have enough available ships, you are looking at 30% of our fleet with these three ships, we have only begun commisioning Warships, the majority of the current fleet are lightly armed Science Ships, like the Wanderer.
Comm from the Captain of the Wanderer, on the Polytron to Hive Queen: Hive Queen, We belive that you are acting too quickly, we were very close to peaceful negotiations, you are only fighting back becasue the renegade ships have made you look like a vicisoius bloodthirsty alien, which you are not, now that the renegade ships have been dealt with, this has become a paradox of a battle, you are only fighting Altaran and Froggyliciouisness becasue they want to destroy you for the crime of the rouge ships, and you are only fighting them, becasue they are fighting you. So be the bigger Nation and stand down, I assure you that if the enemy ships do not open themselves to negotiations and you explain to them that it was the rouge ships that attacked, they will agree to a ceasefire. At least we hope they are civilizaed enough to end this battle. If they are not, then we will take up action for you.
Edit: Second Comm to Hive Fleet: Good Job, we commend you on your actions to stop this bloodshed, we will help you work something out if the negotiations go Awry.

Singlularity within the hive is only tolorated in extreem cases: As such "I" am "Wanderer's Assension" the hive wishes to talk to you. "I" am their emisary to your kind.
The hive hopes it has not offended you, I have been created in your image from the information given to us by you. No mutation has occurd, no bio enhancemet has occured. If you are unsatisfied then "I" will be disposed of - we do not wish upset - only to ensure initial contact with a new species is "easy" for them to accept at first. Should you so choose then a "blank" Avatar shall be sent to your vessel. Many thanks, The hive welcomes you.

*A hissing voice coms onto air*
We are the hive. We shall elaborate the incidents occuring here.
Patroll picked up Bekon signal and moved in to investigate. Upon arrival made contact with local vessels. Having arranged a parle on board The Wanderer we also requested food, they obliged. Unfotunatly the synapse creature for the patroll is weak and did not have total control. When the nodes feed this is particularly the case. Only partial control is assured. From what we have been informed of seeral ships then warped in and targeted the feeding vessels. They were warned to stand down their weapons systems for the ships were not in total control - we warned them. The Synapse was broken and several of the vessels broke free of the hive mind attacking the aggressors. The lead vessel called for backup to resolve this situation. Upon our arrival we disposed of the rogue vessels immidiatly however the aggresors refused to cease fire and were determined to destroy us.
We appologise for fireing upon you. when the hive feeds control is not total. However the presence of us creates greater control. Our control is total. Aggresion now is our choice. We are defending ourselfs from a threat. Should FSF Squishy Frog Fireworks decide to continue this battle then we shall destroy them.
The ship attached to the FSF Squishy Frog Fireworks is capable of crushing that ship into stardust. We are the hive We are perfection.
*The ship indicated is 1/3 the size of the Hive Queen (approx the size of a small moon) the hive queen herself the same size as a plannet. The lack of movement makes the silence of space more apparent than ever ships mearly floating in space awaiting orders.*
Royal Guard @ FSF Squishy Frog Fireworks:
We are the Hive We are Perfection. Respond or you will be destroyed. Aggresors will not be tolorated. A threat to the hive will not be tolorated.
We are your fait.
*The royal guard circle their target the Great biovessel still holding on gently to the front of the ship with its huge mandibles. The smaller swarm ship on the side of the FSF Squishy Frog Fireworks seals up the hole it created with bioacid and drops off the ship moving towards the royal guard its purpose as a delivary vessel complete the royal guard turn on it and devour it with no remorse.*

Okay. We will take shelter in the Great System. When the region is safe, Froggyliciousness will provide us a homeworld and we can leave the Great System. Besides, we need to pick up High Commander Paul anyways. Emergency hyperspace activated.
The rebel forces break into the court room. It was deserted because it was late at night. They sneak into the back of the court building where there is a jail for people waiting for the ship to the prision asteroid. As they break into the area, they notice the Deep Space Pirate leader. They deactivate the forcefield and liberate the convicted man. The rebel men then dashes out to the front of the building where their escape vehicles are.
Police vehicles catch them, but the rebellion are already in their spacecraft. The police chase after them...

The fleet is readying for a "raid" of FroggyWorld II involving our new, massive Destructoship.
A raiding fleet of the Deep Space Pirates hyperspaced into the Froggy System. They had the Great Space Fleet on the radar, orbiting around FroggyWorld II. The pirates launched hundreds of fighters, dozens of frigates, advanced the capital ships, and charged the weapons on the Destructoship.

On FroggyWorld, the Memorial Spaceport had been shut down. Anything coming in or out of the planet had to be military. At the coffee shop, the Froggy Squadron pilots had been waiting for deployment.

An OOC note: Are the pirates actually going to make a move?
After repeatedly scanning the ships, analyzing the data, and finding weak spots, Keiran Halcyon was annoyed. Why hadn't the pirates made their move? When you are going to invade a system, you usually blow something up. Well, these idiots weren't going to clog up the trading lanes forever.
Keiran: Tell the fleet to begin it's attack on the pirates.
[I] Suddenly, hundreds and hundreds of ships launched from colonies on the FroggyWorld planet and moon. 100 Mama Phr0g Class carriers released their cargo of 500 Froggy fighters a piece: 50,000 small fighters zoomed out and started attacking the pirates vessels. 50 Destroyers were launched from the main Spaceport on FroggyWorld. They also began firing. 30 cruisers took off from FroggyLunar spaceport and headed toward the pirates. More ships were on the schedule to take off.
200 Alpha Class Fighters
100 Beta Class Fighters
10 Delta Class BattleCruisers
1 Omega Class Annihilator
10 (never before used) Toad Troops Boarding Vessel
(carries about 50 troops)
The FroggyWorld Offense/Defense station also powered up weapons for any possible attack on FroggyWorld or FroggyLuna.
The main ship started launching an EMP cannon. Other than that, the ships moved on autopilot, keeping a steady course to FroggyWorld II. The ships waited there until the Froggyliciousness forces moved closer. The Deep Space Pirates then all exploded - on self destruct - and damaged or destroyed many ships. It was a trap!
Then another fleet uncloaked nearby. They started opening fire on the survivors and on FroggyWorld II.

*The hive patriach didnt think, he didnt need to, a second fleet had just appeared out of no where. His main lance was already armed as where his guardians ships - they opened fire on the fleet, Surges of red, purple, orange and green plasma launched towards the new fleet in a targeting pattern that resulted in a solid multicoloured BEAM of plasma with the same diameter as the nearby sun and nearly the same heat, many of the smaller hive vessels died due to the intence heat the beam lasted for over 2 mins the centre constantly locked onto the middle of the attacking fleet.*

Fighters span out of control in the frictionless void of space, waiting for the Kookaburra class workbees to pull them into the carriers. 70% of the Froggy fighters were destroyed, 40% of the Alpha and Beta classes, along with 30% of the destroyers and 10% of the carriers.
On FroggyWorld, the Froggy Defense Force command center was lit up with activity. The planetary shields had suffered no damage, but the fleet did. Keiran Halcyon opened a comm to the fleet.
COMM TO: FroggyWorld Fleet
Get out of there now! Keep the Deltas & Omegas in. Release all the workbees while you hold them off with the Deltas. Initiate MVAM with the Deltas. Fix those ships, get them into the carriers, and get inside the shield. We will move the station into position.
OOC: Who says most of my fleet 'was damaged or destroyed'. Without the actual specs it's hard to know :P
Froggy Squadron was OK. They had evaded most of the ships that were exploding. The recon showed a lot: the ships had multiple weak points. If the ships warping in had the same config as the others, this would be a piece of cake. Suddenly, they got the comm from the VC and relayed their info to the Command Center, engaging their subspace drives and moving toward the shield.
Two hours later...[B]
[B]The FroggyWorld Offense Defense station moved into position. It armed all of it's beams and prepared to launch a very, very secret arsenal.....
TO BE CONTINUED
