OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION--SAMBIZIE COMMAND
Encrypted

ATT: COALITION FLEET COMMAND

At 1800 Sambizie Standard Time, The Sambizie SSF, provided intelligence that is [critical] to the current Siesana Operations.
-Early yesterday, Sambizie Listening Post #Su-439,
http://www.sufoi.dk/billeder/seti-02b.gif
Detected a large contingent of ShaRa Fleet and Command ships gathering in Sector 187, of the GZNRII System. It has been "estimated" but not "verified", that this force is in excess of 100 vessels.
-Early today, Sambizie Listening Post #Su-438
http://www.chaparraltree.com/scison/seti-ao.gif
Detected a "seperate" ShaRa Fleet, dropping out of hyperspace on the edge of Sector 187, of the GZNRII System. This Shara Fleet is "estimated" but not "verified", to be in excess of 300 "various" vessels.

Due to the location of a Sambizie "controlled" manufacturing plant within sector 187, leads us to believe that the ShaRa intent is to "invade" the planet in which the manufacturing plants are located.

In an agreement made months ago, with a "independent" contractor of the ShaRa Empire, these plants are manufacturing ShaRa-Banshee Fighters for the Sambizie. It is certain that the monies invested in this endevor are lost. However, in conjuction with the current liberation of Ironeia and our "intended" operations in Sector 187, we have warrented and issued the following commands to all the Sambizie Military.

The Sambizie Military in it's entirety, has been activated. This activation includes all Sambizie military outpost, conventional and galatic. Furthermore, ALL Sambizie engagements within sector 187 are ordered to CESE and proceed to sector 198. This includes all units currently assisting "Coalition" Operations within sector 187. Though we know of the loss to our facilities and the potentional loss to the the planet Ironeia, we will abandon this current course of action.

Intelligence proves that the ShaRa forces gathered in sector 187, constitutes the "bulk", if not the "entire" Sectorial" Command, Supply, Invasion, and Slaver Fleets of the Empires most front fleet. This advancement by the ShaRa "flank" was in critical error. The ShaRa have opted to try and "squeeze" our forces at Ironeia with the incoming "central" fleet and the fleet now gathered on sector 187. This "two" front approach of the Ironeia Ops., has left the opening we planned for. We now have a direct shot at the heart of the GZNRII System. However, knowing that the ShaRa most certainally have reinforcements within the inner planets, raises the question of; "Who's guarding the ShaRa Empire?" This "gross" display of power by the ShaRa will prove to be critical.

Gentlemen,
Our adgenda has changed, after the Sambizie forces gather at sector 198, we will "bypass" the inner planets and launch a dirrect assult against the ShaRa Empire. We know we are leaving the outter planets,( DakBa, Siesana, GhHari, and Ironeia), at the mercy of the large incoming forces. But, we feel that by the time those forces reach our "Capitol" planet of Siesana, they will be reinforced, or the ShaRa Emperor will be dead. In either case, we must attempt this invasion now while the opening presents itself.
The "call" is up to your individual governments. While the Ironeia Ops. would help suppress the ShaRa fleets and provide distraction, our combined fleets would have a greater percentage of success on the assult of the ShaRa Empire. We estimate that our fleets and supply should be ready within 38 hours, I hope to hear from you soon.

Respectfully,
M. Uganda

OOC: And when were you going to tell us about this? :lol:

IC: Memo from Vice Admiral Jain Granger, Adejaani Fleet

Adejaani stands with Sambizie all the way and we defer to your judgement in regards to the course of action. Perhaps taking out their capitol may end this war quickly.

OOC: :shock: Do'oh, forgot to tg the link.

Admiral O'Connor had been known to not leave his bridge, looking very tired, and seeming to have developed an addiction to coffee, he recived the transmission on a PADD from his comm officer and read it. He thought for a second, then wrote on the PADD and gave it back to the Ensign.
"Send this, quickly now."
The messege read...
"As we stated when the request for support first arrived, I am here on orders of my father to show exactly how far we will go for our brothers. That being, we too stand beside Sambizie, ready and waiting. Semper Fidelum!"

The large Imperial Fleets stood silent , the way they had been for some time now. They were always in formation with fighter patrols always circling , the fleet had an eerie look given by the dim light of the sun and the bkanket of darkness that space seems to bring.

Suddenly,....movement ... Imperial vessels powered to full power as a message was sent out to the coallition fleets.

"Brethren , the Empire as always stands ready to defend its allies to the last breath." "I have asked the fleet to relay this message to you so that I could personally thank all the Imperial and Coallition military forces involved for their sacrifice in the system." "Let the ShaRa know that they cannot win this fight , howl defiance in their face and scream glory." "And to the Elarans , let the ShaRa know ,....the Blue Tide cometh."

On Elaran vessels Elarans rise from the kneeling position as the transmission ends , this was be sure to be more bloody than ever before.

+---+---+---+

In the launch bay of one of the Elarian Battleships a small vessel that looks like a new prototype fighter of some sort sits. The pilot shakes hands with the Commander of the Battleship and drinks a ceremonial glass of Elarian Ale. The pilot then steps in the vessel and the other Elarans salute and leave the room , shortly after the massive doors begin to open. The pilot then flicks some controls and the vessel becomes cloaked as it leaves the bay heading towards ShaRa Space...

Meanwhile....

Deep in space, the Emperor's ship alongside the ShaRa warship, maintain a high altitude orbit above a medium sized, swamp-like planet. Emperor Uganda stands silent, as do the rest of the crew, waiting, wondering..."Why we are here?" The silence is broken just long enough for the Coms. Officer to announce multiple, unidentified spacial anomolies. The Bridge Commander nodded in acknowledgement, then turned towards Mwto'ar for the "course of action". Mwto'ar turned to the man at his left, "So we shall begin". As Mwto'ar and his "counter-part" rush from the bridge, he gave the standing order to maintain course and speed. Shortly after leaving the bridge, the ships sensors detected the Emperor's shuttle departin and taking towards the surface of the planet.

The shuttle touches down at a large airfield. Massive "hanger-like" facilities surrond the "strip". As the shuttle touches down, the huge doors of the hangers begin to open. As Mwto'ar, his counter-part, and the ShaRa ship Commander exit the shuttle, "beings" of a "peculiar" nature emerge from the hangers. The ShaRa Commander is first to approach the strange beings. The two meet halfway between the shuttle and hanger. They exchange a quick "greeting" before the ShaRa Commander points in Mwto'ars direction. Mwto'ar begins to walk towards the two, as he approaches, the little "beign" states, "We are sorry for the delay...please understand...your order has been completed". The beign never once looking into Mwto'ars eyes, humbly, slowly backs up.

The hanger doors all around them are nearly opened when the ShaRa Commander turns towards Mwto'ar, raises his hands over his head and claims, "Behold the future of Sambizie"......

OOC: Good to have you back Elara...er...how bout some ale :wink:

OOC: Hehe , no problem my old friend. ::Passes bottle of Elarian Ale:: Enjoy , no doubt your supplies were running low whilst I was away.

Admiral O'Connor walked into his office, which was off of the bride, he sat down and thought for a couple minutes, holding the balck coffee in his hands, sipping slowly. He then sat up straight, fixed his uniform, cleared his throat, and opened a channel to CLA Fleet command, in the Liberty System.

"Admiral O'Connor here. I want to speak with Corps Admiral O'Tool please."

-=Connecting=-

"O'Connor, I hope all is well..."

"It is sir, I have come to ask a favor, a very large one. A favor not only for me, but for all of us here in this distant galaxy. I am here to request the presence of the 2nd and third Vanguard Fleets as well. Full compliment. I understand that 90 more vessels is alot to ask but-"

"Done and done admiral. I spoke to your father and he was thinking similar ideas. It is creepy sometimes how much you two think alike."

"Thank you sir."

"Its for you colin, keep your head down. Semper Fi. O'Tool out"

O'COnnor opened the comm again, this time to the allied fleets. a SHort messege was sent...

"The CLF has granted me command of the entire 2nd and 3rd Vanguard fleets, a total of 90 for vessels for the upcomming battle. I bring them with a messege, a messege explressing, that the CLF weill fight along side our allies, and win along side them too."

"Incoming!" WHAM! Vice Admiral Jain Granger hung on as the freshly refitted ANS Constitution took a hit. The Magnian cruisers didn't pack much firepower, but their shields were strong and their hulls thick. "CAG, what's your status? CAG?" Granger shouted into the communications feed. Her top pilot was in the massive furball as fighters weaved in and out trying to gain the upper hand. She tracked Brigadier General Barry Graham's fighter, in the thick of it, too busy to respond.

"Another ship coming in. It's the Philadelphia!" Granger looked up to a monitor and sure enough, the lost ship, looking a bit odd, barelled in, striking the three Magnian cruisers with bright green beams. In another moment, the cruisers docked their fighters in a hurry and fled. Triumphant, the Constitution began recovering her fighters while the Philadelphia pulled alongside and signalled someone wanted to come aboard.....

"SHIELD!" Granger shouted as she hugged the Captain of the Magnian vessel. Since their last meeting, the man seemed more worn out and bore a scar across his chin. The nods were polite, but the glares from CAG Graham and XO Nichols, both fine men were not at all polite. Granger ignored that for the moment. "Since you're here and the Magnians have tried an assassination attempt, I assume you're either here to boast or negotiating for surrender. Which is it?"

"Neither." Williamson took a seat and tossed a data chip to Nichols. "There was a coup in Magnia and I was overthrown. I took those few loyal to me and left on the Philadelphia. Seems the nation of Letila had a hand in the coup and were financing assassinations and various other activities like weapons smuggling. That data chip contains the disposition of the Magnian Fleet and everything that's known about Letila, which isn't much, but they seem to be descending into anarchy....."

Granger looked pained at the news, but nodded and began reviewing the data. An hour later, she began writing her preliminary report, attaching the intelligence to it. They were no longer fighting just the Sha'Ra, they were now fighting the Sha'Ra, Magnians AND the Letilans. So fun.....

*On Letila, this is relavent*

*Gk‡x'èmol flies to his commune in a Letilan ship* You're not going to believe this, K!'ilóla, but we have a problem. You know how I told you about Gkx'óse? He's part of some conspiracy. He tried to assasinate a bunch of people. He's part of something called the Statists.

*After major commune meeting*

Nmámi-We have no choice but to deploy our fleet.
K!'ilóla-This is Letila's

*Letilan fleet Adejaani*

Gk‡x'èmol: This is going to be tough.

Transmission from ANS Constitution to Letilan vessel

We have reports that your government directly aided the Magnians in attacks against Adejaani and Elara, in particular the attempted assassination of Emperor and Empress Meridius of Elara. Further reports link the Letila government to various illegal acts. You had better explain and convince me to report to my superiors not to wage a complete and total war against you.

LSS Natsiûfiðaekûni:

Letila doesn't even have a government. We're anarchists. We don't have superiors to report to. GK‡x'èmol can explain the situation better to you.
Gk‡x'èmol: The assasin was Gkx'óse. I've had dealings with him. He's part of some organization called the Statists that want Letila to become fascist. They have ties to the Magnians. Letila is innocent. This file we are sending will explain our system and recent history.

OOC: The Letilan fleet consists of one huge triumphant class ship, 7 cruisers, and 14 frigates. There are 30 fighters, as well.

PS: I won't be able to stay up much later, so keep that in mind. It isn't fair to do all kinds of stuff to my fleet if I can't do anything back.

Transmission to Letilan ship

This is a most interesting, though disturbing development. We require any and all information you possess regarding this..... rouge faction of Letila. We shall inform you of our findings.

OOC: Don't worry, we're stretching this out a bit, we will not attack for the moment. We're setting the scene for a while at least.

Roland knelt down beside his beloved wife who was still unconscious in the hospital bed in Adejaani One City. As he kissed her head he speaks loving words in his native Elarian Tongue and also asked the Gods to watch over her whilst he was away. Roland got up and began to walk with his two Imperial Guards to their transport , they were now dressed in their armor and Elarian wears glad to be out of Human clothing.

It twas not long before the Elarian Shuttlecraft lifted off into the sky heading for the Imperial Fleet , Roland knew it would be a while before they returned....if they returned.

"Sir we're nearly to the Osiris."

"Well done pilot , inform the Overlord of the Fleet that I will be taking his place now." "This matter is now personal."

"Yes sire."

The small vessel soon enters the hangar bay of the mighty Osiris. Roland stands and exits the small craft followed closely by his two Imperial Guards. Rolands face is cold , he could think of nothing but war. In his mind the God of War now called to him , beckoning him forward.

As the three men entered the bridge of the Osiris the Overlord left his post and the whole bridge seemed to bow to Roland all at once.

Roland took his seat and looked over to the Overlord with an all commanding presensce.

"Has Project Hedes commensed?"

"Yes your majesty , it is underway and we are tracking its progress." "Soon it will begin its run."

"Well done Overlord , now this is what I want..."

Emperor Roland leaned over to the Overlord and began giving him specific orders. The Overlord soon walks over to the Comm Officer and begins ordering him to contact Kebrel , EES , Gestry and other Elarian centers.

Roland looks to the Golden Trident he holds in his hands , 'this gift might have to be used should the Osiris be overwhelmed and boarded' Roland thought to himself. He quickly brushes away the thought. As Roland looks out of the bridge he sees before him lying in the fleet the mighty Fenrir , his adopted son Sven's vessel. Roland smiled , he had heard of his adopted sons achievements for the Empire and he was proud to be fighting side by side with him.

+---+---+---+---+

Deep in Sha'Ra Space Project: Hedes proceedes as planned. The Elarian Prototype Fighter eased through the dark neverending mass of space. Not only was he collecting information for the Allied Fleet but in the belly of this bird lay several items that would not be returning with the fighter.

The Fighter came across many o planet most built up nicely and scans shown that these must be the Sha'Ra homeworlds as they were the only sentient species living on these planet except for the occasional slave or soon to be meals.

The Pilot of this craft was still shocked that he made it passed the main Sha'Ra Fleets unnoticed. The Elarian Scientists and Engineers had done quite well in designing the cloaking device for this small prototype.

The Pilot was at the last stages of his mission , he calculated the Sha'Ra controlled planets with the most population and manufacturing stations. The pilot picked four of these Planets , at each one he drops a cylindrical object from the fighters belly , just small enough not to be detected.

The Pilot then begins his return home as he begins placing codes into the screen that sat infront of him. All for cylindrical missile like object begin to race at lightining speeds towards the planets. These missiles would make the Atomic Bomb look like a firecracker. The Pilot prayed to the Gods of Elara that they would all reach their targets as he returns to the fleet carrying a very interesting map.

+---+---+---+---+

ETA for Rolands request to come (more Elarian Ships to join the fleet): 1 IRL Hour.

Transmission back:

We strongly suspect a connection between the Magnians and the Statists. We know that Gkx'óse is a Statist and that he has a lot of connections to the Magnians. We are sending you files with information on Gkx'óse and the Statists. We hope they clear up this misunderstanding.

We don't support the Statists or Magnians anymore than you do and will help you in any wars or problems with them. The Statists are just as much a threat to us as to you. We are afraid of a civil war in Letila and we can't do that and fight you at the same time.

We have a surplus of some medical supplies and it's likely that you will need them if you are going to fight a large war. Do you want us to give them to you? We would be glad to donate some of our extra supplies.

Transmission to Letilan ship

Thank you for the information. We shall review it and decide on the next step. We thank you for the offer, but our medical stocks are fine. Please remain in the area and do not make any sudden or potentially..... hostile..... actions. You will not be harmed.

OOC: Just to reiterate and with the policy of all my RPs, I do not force people to respond immediately, though speedy responses are helpful. For now, there's a lull, so if you want to go, do so, we won't force a response out of you and you won't be attacked.

Transmission back:

If you need any help or supplies, we'll be glad to help. We are requesting more information on the Statists. If any more information is available, we should receive it soon. We're glad you didn't fire on us. We needed a chance to explain and you gave it to us. We thank you for that.

OOC: I have to get some sleep, but I don't have a lot to do tommorow, so I should have plenty of time for RPing.

Elarian ships drop out of warp to meet the rest of the Imperial Fleet, as ordered by Emperor Roland Meridius.

Total Count of Elarian Ships over Siesana:

-The Osiris (Lead Ship-Rolands Ship)

-The Fenrir (Svens Ship)

-50 Elarian Battleships

-25 Elarian Carriers

-60 Elarian Cruisers

-80 Elarian Destroyers

-55 Mwto'ar Class Frigates

-30 Elarian Transports

Total Number of Imperial Ships:

-302

OOC: President Valient has been keeping a watch on this matter? May he be given a role in this conflict?

That is, if it is still open :D

OOC: Ooh, this will be tough. Letila is advanced, but we don't a very big fleet. We're going to need some expertly pulled-off microjumps and other manuervers if we have to fight.

On the Natsiûfiðaekûni:

Gk‡x'èmol: I don't know what good an inspirational speech will do, but no one else has tried, so here goes: We're here voluntarily. We aren't sent here by an oppressive state. We are some of the bravest people there because we tried something everyone said would fail. We are even though everything says we will fail. If we are forced to fight, remember that we were forced to by the enemy, and chose to because of bravery, rather than forced to by a state and "chose to" out of cowardice. We are truely free, limited only by ourselves. This is not a battle between a strong fleet and a weak fleet. It is a battle between a willing fleet and an unwilling fleet.
*everyone cheers*

In Very high orbit around Siesana, Admiral O'Connor was sson bombarded with comm transmissions, he looked at the PADD to see who was trying to reach him;/i]

1.) Comodore O'Tool-RE:Arrival

2.) Captain Gythaki-RE:New Supply Convoy

3.) Unidentified Bajoran Transport-RE:'Specila Dilivery'


[i]The Admiral Granted admittance to the supply conovy, and recived the 2nd and 3rd fleets' ETA(momentairily). But he stopped at the annonymous trasnission. It was a messege left in coded text. He read it, and became very excited. He jnew this was a good thing.

FLEET OVER SIESANA

-The O'Connor Admiral Colin O'Connor's Ship, Fleet's Flag Ship

-9 Command Battle Frigates

-126 Battle Frigates

-12 Hulk XXI Heavy Drop Ships

-45 Shadowbdlae FAVs

*Bajoran Supply Convoys are comming in and out, the Bajorans are the main transporters for the CLF.

OOC: As it turns out, I have the tools to make an awesome scene of a Letilan fleet. I'll post a pic in perhaps a few hours.

OOC: Who says you need government to make good ships and have good personel? They have plenty of reasons to make decent ships and be good at their job, like self-preservation. They don't need state coersion, too.

OOC: Wow, so much activity.

Valient, this is an invite only RP. But we're working out some details, so we don't know. We'll get back to you.

Letila, hang on, I don't have stats per se, but I'm working out the In Character side of the RP, so just wait for the deliberation.

Behind the Bajoran Convoy came another Bajoran convoy, much smaller, but much more heavily aremed. They were stopped instantly by 3 SF-109's who noticed and were on an intercept course. The lead pilot, and ensign was told to break off, orders from the O'Connor. The Bajoran Convoy, escorted by what looked like Bajoran Crusiers, although it was unsure, the Bajorans weren't known to have many combat vessels yet. The small convoy proceeded to dock with the O'Connor.


Admiral O'Connor had been expecting the 3 craft, as he waited outside the Airlock with his XO and CAG, along with 2 Marines. Out of the airlock came a battle worn man wearing the markings of a colonel, still holding his weapon and wearing his combat helmet. Behind him came staff officers. The colonel approched the officers, they all saluted him. He got an alarmed look on his face an motioned them to put them down as he put up his salute.

Admiral O'Connor slightly confused spoke up, "This way..."
"Very well,..er sir" Replied the 'colonel'. He tured to his second in command, a major, and said. "I want these men bunked, find out where they go and get them there." He then turned back to the admiral, "After you sir"
The 6 men continued down the hall and into a turbo lift. In the lift there was an erie silence. The admiral turned to the mairne guards,
"Get off at the mess, you are dismissed." They saluted and followed the orders. as they left the 'Colonel' Turned to the admiral, "Just for security Admiral, they cant know who I am, that goes for all of you, they cant know until Im ready."
The Marshall was obeyed. The father and son reuited at last. This showed, the Liberty Fighters were here, and had business to accomplish.

OOC: My vessel's stats can be dsiplayed upon request.

OOC: How you like my pic of the Letilan fleet? If a battle breaks out, I could make a pic of that if I have a good deal of info on your ships.

OOC: Can someone from Letila investigate Magnia? How soon?

Transmission to Adejaani ships:

We got a some more info on the Statists. Apparently, they are a sort of right wing activist group. They've actually been around in some form for years and were originally the Tu'lîmû supremecists that plagued us a while back. We request some information on the Magnians.

OOC: Blast it, I was out on Christmas Day, you ingrates. Well, I'm building up to something and considering the continued abscence of Sambizie and Sha'Ra, I'm going to take over the plot.

Letila, everyone, please, just bear with me, I'll get the general briefing over first. And again, I am not forcing "immediate response", but I do expect swift replies, please.

I'll be away tomorrow as well, but I'll post this in about 24 hours from when this post goes out, then you'll have a few hours to absorb it before I initiate the plans.

Oh and please do attend, okay? This is going to give everyone the background. :wink:

IC:

Transmission to all allied vessels

Admiral Jain Granger requests a conference to brief everyone on latest intelligence and other matters aboard Adejaani flagship ANS Constitution. Please send Fleet Commanding Officer or representative to meeting.

Transmission to Letilan ship

We request your Fleet Commanding Officer or representative to be present at a briefing aboard Adejaani flagship ANS Constitution. Do not be armed and do not attempt any hostile maneuvers. You will be searched and escorted while aboard the flagship. Comply and you will not be harmed. Failure to comply will bring a swift response, innocence as you claim or otherwise.

Transmission to Adejaani:

We don't have officers, but we will elect a temporary representative.

*Letilans spend several minutes choosing representative*

We have chosen N|olélà. She will represent us on your ship.

OOC: Do you want a further description of N|olélà? I take it the pic gives a good idea of what Letilan warships look like. I'd be glad to provide info on their abilities, stats, etc. if necessary.

Roland was dressed in his Elarian Battlearmor making him look quite elegant. His two Imperial Guards followed closely behind without a sound.

The three men then stepped on Emperor Roland Meridius's personal transport...

"Osiris this is Elara One requesting that you open Bay doors please."

"Elara One Bay doors are opening , safe trip we await your return."

The Pilot then takes off into the blackness of space , as they exited the bay Roland looked down at Siesana the beautiful planet where all was at an eerie calm. As he looked down he thought of his wife a moment , the Empire after that. Roland knew should the Fleet fail in its mission Siesana would soon fall , with it the Zoarg Home System and soon the Sha'Ra would need another place to feed and where better then Sol.

The small vessel approached the ANS Consitution slowly and the Pilot reached down to the Comm Panel...

"Constitution this is Elara One carrying Emperor Roland Meridius , permission to dock."

The ship slowly enters the bay and lands after permission had been granted...as the doors open a pale blue light emits from the inside of the Elarian vessel , out step Roland and his two Imperial Guards where they are then guided to the meeting room.

OOC: And sigh. Anyway, here's the briefing. You'll have time to digest this before we do anything. Right, here we go!

IC: A Chief Petty Officer's loud announcement brought everyone in the conference centre to their feet, some a little slowly and reluctantly. The Adejaani personnel all stood up immediately and braced at attention. "Thank you. Please be seated. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vice President Aireserkeiel of Adejaani. I'm also a qualified National Intelligence Officer, so I actually know what this means. This is a briefing on the situation at hand, plus everything we know."

Aireserkeiel looked thin and a bit nervous, as well as a bit nauseous. Never a good flyer, she'd thrown up twice on the long trip here. "Though there's two small things before we begin the briefing. First, Empress Meridius of Elara is fine, she'll make a full recovery. I'll have a further talk with you, Emperor Meridius, about it later." Aireserkeiel nodded to the Elaran leader and there was a brief sigh of relief from everyone. The foiled Magnian assassination plot had claimed no lives.

"The other part....." Aireserkeiel began as she dug one hand into her pocket, viewed what she dug up, then dug again. "Granger, you've got a 4th Star. Oh and the kiddo sends her love." Jain Granger, CO of the Adejaani Fleet, caught the shiny silver star that was tossed to her and the wink from her cousin, the Vice President. "Reynolds, you get a 3rd, Graham, you get a 2nd." Aireserkeiel tossed the stars to the relevent people around the table. "Finally, Shield Williamson....." She tossed him a silver eagle. "Welcome back, Captain. The Philadelphia can wear the 'ANS' prefix again. Where you're short in crew, work it out with Granger. You're part of the Fleet once more."

Williamson nodded. The other Adejaani personnel in the room had glared at him like a traitor, but since he was just officially sworn back into the Fleet, he was a fellow officer in uniform. "You're wondering why the sudden promotions. Apart from the Home Fleet back in Earth orbit consisting of a Carrier, Four Cruisers and Four Destroyers, Granger, you're having everything sent to you. That's four Dreadnoughts, seven Carriers (eight if you use the Philadelphia), twenty Cruisers and thirty Destroyers in the main Fleet and the however many fighters they carry aboard. A dozen replenishment ships, plus all six Marine Divisions and the Marine complements of each ship. That's the single biggest military deployment in our nation's history. Use it well and don't screw up!"

Aireserkeiel grinned, then turned serious. "On to business. After Admiral Granger's return from Magnia some time ago and based on her recommendations, Agents were inserted into Magnian society to gather information. Let me give you who don't know, the background to that story. During the Battle of Gh'Hari station, the primary method of travel used by the Sha'Ra was a wormhole. So, in a daring plan, Captain Williamson over there, placed his ship, the Philadelphia over the mouth of the wormhole to prevent the Sha'Ra from escaping. It worked, though the wormhole collapsed at the end, sending the ship into the depths of the galaxy.

"For a period of some months, the Philadelphia tried to make its way back, but with no point of references and running out of supplies, the ship made planetfall. With technology scavenged from the stricken ship, they managed to house the survivors. Captain Williamson, as leader, became their President and named their planet, Magnia, after some artist's perfect name for a city. Anyway, as time went on, the Magnians started exploring. They found the remains of a long dead society on the planet. Using that technology, they started building back up the tech ladder.

"But they got concerned. It was part of the Adejaani Military Ethos, if you were trapped behind enemy lines or wounded, they'd come get you, regardless of what happened. But no Adejaani ships came to pluck the Magnians from their world and some people got restless. They got mad, too. And people listened to them, simply because it seemed 'right' and because they had nothing to lose. Eventually, when they regained Faster Than Light travel, they came back and did so in an angry manner. But Williamson was still the leader and with Granger's help, they managed to make an uneasy truce.

"After this, rough first contact between the Magnians and the Letilans occured. The Letilan Spartist movement promoted anarchy, but lacked the technology to do it. The Magnians, on the other hand, lacked the knowledge and resources to overcome Williamson and wage war. So, the two made a deadly pact. They'd give the other side what they needed. The Magnians made a succesful coup attempt just recently and the Letilans got their ships and weapons. They also financed several Magnian terrorist actions and assassinations, too.

"Most of you know this already, but this part, you don't. Long range reconnaisance and scout missions have failed to detect any trace of the Zoarg, the beings we originally set out to free. At the same time, it seemed the Sha'Ra had made a move on the Magnians. Through the use of chemicals inserted into the Magnian food and water supplies and through the use of telepathy and mind control, they started taking over the Magnians.

"You see, even before the first shots in the war against the Sha'Ra were even fired, they were doomed. They had superior numbers, yes, but we had more technology and firepower. And hell, even Adejaani, the least technologically advanced is on the verge of its second technological cycle since the war began. Superior numbers don't mean much and they weren't evolving fast enough. We'd have decimated them and they couldn't have done a thing about it. So they decided they had to fight fire with fire.

"So they started taking over the Magnians and adapting their technologies to their own, adding bio-armor to ships and everything. It is estimated the Sha'Ra have taken over roughly three-fifths of the Magnian population and have almost a thousand Magnian ships, which are roughly the equal of our own in terms of quality and defenses. Firepower, on the other hand, we've got the advantage there. Though their stronger shields and hull make it too close to call who'd win in a straight fight." Aireserkeiel paused to take a drink of water and noted the uneasy shifting and the looks.

"Then there's the next problem of what to do about the Letilans." Aireserkeiel looked at the Letilan representative. "It's not Adejaani's policy and it shouldn't be anyone's policy to wage war on innocents. We should only be going after the guilty parties. Therefore, with this major shift in what's going on, the following should be our new objectives:

"1 Stop the Magnian assimilation by the Sha'Ra.
2 To quell the violent factions of the Magnian (the coup) and Letilan (the Spartists) societies
3 To destroy the Sha'Ra shipyards where they meld Sha'Ra and Magnian technologies together
4 To destroy the research laboratories and facilities where the Sha'Ra grow their biological chemicals to affect the Magnians to ensure it doesn't happen to the others.

"I repeat, we are not out to start a genocidal war to crush the Magnians and Letilans, we're only going after those who are guilty of causing dissent and acts of terror. As such, the Letilan Fleet will be allowed to join the Coalition, though be warned to not cross us, you'll find we can dispense justice to you very easily.

"Now, there's been a lot of information here. Please, go and talk it over with, well, whatever staff or just think about it. I'll remain here a while to talk it over. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the briefing." Aireserkeiel stood, as did everyone else. Folders and data discs were passed out, full of recorded information.

"Emperor Meridius, can I have a word with you?"

OOC: I TGed Adejaani about how the Spartists are supposed to be the Statists and how they are pro-fascism and Letila is actually currently anarchist. It actually fits better with the briefing that way because it's unlikely that Adejaani would let a Magnian-backed force help his fleet. The anarchistic nature of the Letilans is made clear when they elected a temporary representative through direct democracy.

In the Letilan fleet:

N|olélà: They said that we are going to battle the Statists and Magnians. They are going to let us work with the Adejaani fleet. The nasty war with Adejaani we feared will be avoided after all.

Nmámi: The info on the Statists is encouraging. They don't have any warships and are limited to ground forces somewhere in Letila. Their location isn't known, but there are a number of suspected places.

IC: Transmission from VP Aireserkeiel aboard Adejaani Flagship to all vessels

The Letilan representatives have corrected some of the information within the briefing. Our objective is the Statists. It remains to be seen just what resources the Statists have at their disposal, but nevertheless, stopping them is our priority. I urge caution, as they are not a 'traditional' military force as we know it, we cannot fight them in a military sense, we will have to be careful where we tread. Again, I shall be here for consultation and questions for a while longer.

Roland stood and motioned for his two Imperial Guards to leave the room. They bowed and stepped outside to wait as the doors closed.

Roland walks up to Aireserkeiel with a look of anger. But this went further , he tried to hide it from her but it could still be seen.

"Its good to see you again Vice President , how have you been?"

As Roland waits for a reply he sits sets the Golden Trident onto the table , a gift that he had become quite fond of from the Atlantians.

"I am well, Emperor and I trust you are too." Aireserkeiel glared back with equal vigor. Most had forgotten, but not her. A long while ago, Roland had been on a quest for a wife, but left without giving an answer. She'd been the Adejaani National Security Advisor at the time and had been idignant about it. Then had come the infamous incident and verbal war between SecDef Bunker and the Emperor. Ironically, though, Bunker had more power and clout than Aireserkeiel did.

"Your wife is fine, she's getting the best healthcare available. She'd have gotten it anyway, as daughter of the President. She's had some extra perks, as an Empress and the Elarian guards are making life..... Interesting for the Doctors and Nurses...... She'll recover in a month or two. That bullet did a lot of damage. She's also pregnant." Aireserkeiel looked up, careful to keep her face neutral as she slugged him with it.

Roland , who had walked over to the small window swung around quickly with a smile. All his anger had left.

"My....my wife is with child??" "Praise be to the gods!" "A moment ago I wanted to slaughter every Magnian I could find but now..."

This was a different look for Roland , he hadnt remembered feeling this way in...well...ever.

"I love her!" "And those seraq (Elarian curse word) doctors said our DNA couldnt possibly mix to reproduce an heir!"

Roland in his glee ran up an hugged Aireserkeiel making her nearly pass out.

"Those Magnian fools , they try and destroy my wife?" "They shall pay dearly for their actions!" "Enough of this though , now is a time of celebration!"

Roland looks to Aireserkeiel and suddenly remembers that time long ago.

"M'lady , I know Ive never apologized for what happened long ago." "Well , I want to say Im sorry , there was so much the Empire was involved in at the time." "I know thats no excuse for what happened , but I wanted it to be a time where I could give more of myself to whomever I chose without having to deal with a million political issues at the same time." "I hope you will accept my apology and forgive me , if not Ill understand and we can just go back to fighting this intergalactic war , even though Id prefer to know that you are fully with me in these troubled times."

Roland looked into Aireserkeiels eyes awaiting a response.

"We think she is, Emperor. After all, the ah..... Doctors say that the signs are consistent with..... fertilisation. Though we don't really know, as you said, the Doctors aren't sure. We don't even know how well. But all indicators seem to lean that way." Aireserkeiel said evenly, though one Head of State fairly violently hugging a Deputy Head of State was out of the ordinary.

"As for me and you personally..... Ah, hell, Emperor, we both know our two nations and most of us on a personal level have a lot of difficulties and issues to get settled. You'll find that while most Adejaani citizens may have conflicting personal feelings, we can still count on doing our jobs as professionals, regardless." Aireserkeiel said neutrally and diplomatically. Though it was from the heart, she sounded like a politician giving a lie.....

"Oh, on another issue, I had a talk with Judge Bell before I left, he'll be fine too, he got a big scare. Anyway, through some legal maneuvering, you'll have to pay a small fine for the disruption in public (ie being naked in the street), pay for the reporter's camera and make an apology to him. That's all.

"Anything else you think we should discuss? Like about the campaign?"

Roland looked quite unpleased when he was reminded of the reporter.

"I grow tired of this petty nonsense." "We're fighting a war , a war that must be won." "The people must have respect and confidence in their leaders to be able to have hope for the future , those photos would have shown the people something opposite from the truth and the people would lose respect." "Loss of confidence breeds disrespect , disrespect breeds unlawfulness , unlawfulness breeds chaos." As he picked up his Trident he stood tall trying to be diplomatic about the situation.

"Ill wire the money and secure a private transmission to the reporter." "I do this because now is not the time for us to break , I will say nothing about the matter publicly." "I think Im being very fair and quite patient for an Elarian." He turns and walks to the small window and looks out to the stars and the planet below.

"Elara has developed a new superweapon." "We secretly sent out a mission , we have not heard back for a while but we knew this would take time." "Theres nothing more I will tell you about the matter at this time , just know the Elarians are active in their war efforts." "We'll make it through this." "Is there anything more you wish to discuss before I take my leave?" Roland turns and looks to Aireserkeiel and waits for her response.

OOC: My apologies, Letila, on everything. And you're free to start RPing the Statists as you wish, just don't push the envelope/plot too far, okay?

OOC: Don't worry. Like I said, it was my mistake for not being clear enough on them.

IC, Statist temporary HQ:

Gxsik!ò: As leader of the Statists, I am disappointed in your performance. We are doing terribly. I'm not going to baby you with that liberal rhetoric our fellow Tu'lîmû are fond of. We are losing badly. It seems that Gkx'óse's assasination attempt didn't work too well. He was supposed to do a lot more damage. The damage he did do might have been sufficient, but it seems that Adejaani is too willing to trust the Letilans. We will need another plan. Unfortunately, we are going to have to move in a weeks if what I've heard is correct. They are apparently going to be looking for us. I wouldn't be surprised if Letilans already are.

Aireserkeiel looked straight into the Elaran Emperor's eyes. "Just remember, Emperor, what my last words during the briefing were. We're here to dispense justice to the guilty parties, not to wage a genocidal war."

Roland looks to Aireserkeiel strangely with a bit of a grin.

"I intend to win this war Aire....and we shall."

Roland walks to the doors as they slide open the two Imperial Guard stand tall and bow as he exits the room. When he walks passed they follow him. He then yells back down the hall to Aireserkeiel but never turning to look at her he continues to walk on stating:

"Justice will be done Aireserkeiel..."

The three men walk back to the bay where they soon take off to the Osiris.

"Landsakes, that fellow has got to learn himself some humility!" Aireserkeiel huffed as she wrote a brief report update back home. It was customary to keep portfolios of anyone important. In this case, Emperor Roland Meridius' was getting rather thick and had one small addition at the bottom, which was a slightly edited version of what Aireserkeiel said, capitaled, bolded and underlined.....

Transmission from Letilan fleet:

We have one question. What ever happened to Gkx'óse, the assasin? He attempted the assasination and from what Gk!x'èmol said, they arrested him. Is he still sitting in a jail cell?

Transmission to Letilan vessel

The assassin Adejaani security forces captured was Magnian, based on the DNA drift and several unique markers and physiological differences between stock humans and unique to the Magnian people. I can only assume the person you are looking for was only the mastermind of the operation, not the assassin.

Transmission back:

Gk!x'èmol: So the Magnians comprise a race? As for Gkx'óse, wait a minute, the assasin who was yelling afterwards and was detained might not have been Gkx'óse. I left to warn someone and didn't actually see Gkx'óse kill anyone. The assasin didn't sound exactly like him, either. Gkx'óse must have escaped!

The Statist HQ:

Gkx'óse: I'm back. The plan worked fairly well, I think. I bet they think I'm captured.
Gxsik!ò: You did a terrible job!
Gkx'óse: How? I got away and no one suspects a thing.
Gxsik!ò: You picked a very poor stand-in to do the assasination, your bomb didn't work from what I hear and all you really did was give a little speech.
Gkx'óse: I coördinated the assasination's time perfectly. The assasination was a great diversion for my escape. I used the most advanced bomb to plant on Gk!x'èmol and-
Gxsik!ò: All you seem to care about is your escape. All that matters is that you got back here alive. You timed the assasination well and got a good bomb, but you could have at least stayed around to see if it worked and told me so I would have time to develop a backup plan. You should have rescued the assasin, too.
Gkx'óse: I should have rescued the assasin! He did his job. Why should I be responcible for saving him?
Gxsik!ò: You are too selfish! For that, I will punish you. This is not an anarchy where we will do some gay voting and such. I will sentence you myself. Guards, shoot him!
*Guards attempt to shoot Gkx'óse, he reveals bullet-proof clothing*
Gxsik!ò: I'll give you a second chance. You don't deserve it, but you are too smart and well-prepared to get rid of.
Gkx'óse: Thanks. You won't be disappointed.
Gxsik!ò: Don't let me down. I'm only doing this because I'm in a good mood. Remember, this is the fascist equivalent to a commune. We are here to prove the superiority of fascism. I need Gkx'óse for his skill, but remember that I will not be giving people second chances very often. When I get busier, I won't at all.

Since no one has any objections to the objectives outlined in the briefing, now is the time to discuss battle strategy. Please bring Fleet COs, Operations Officers, Intelligence Officers or whoever else you wish in order to properly consult and put together a campaign plan.

Addendum transmission to Letilan vessel

The Magnians do not comprise a race per se, though a few genetically modified parts of their bodies and genome (genetic structure) makes them indentifiable when stacked against "plain" human beings

We will send N|olélà again. We of Letila feel that tactics and strategy are very important in war and that they shouldn't be done halfway.

[i]OOC: Back from vacation fellas...I'll catch up tomorrow, too tired now.
M. Uganda

The Shuttle-craft sped towards the Constitution's Docking bay. The 4 men sped down the corodorr of the massive Adejaani carrier. 2 marines, an Admiral, and what looked like a Colonel. They took a sharp left into a room indicated to them by an Adejaani soldier, they were late. The two marines stayed outside in the hall as the officers entered. Admiral O'Connor stood in the door frame as it closed behind him, he saw the other people there, two he recognized, one he did not. Not wanting to interrupt, he took a seat and motioned to the 'colonel' to do the same. They were ready to put thier two cents in...

In Sector 187...

The ShaRa Fleets have begun the invasion of the tiny industrial planet located on the edge of sector 187. As the fleets gathered, it was evident that our presence is now known by the industrialist. Their acts of support for the Sambizie and anyone else they supplied with SR technology will be paid two-fold.

The 16th Invasion fleet has begun the landing of 150,00 Legions along with orbital bombardment. As teh industrialist try and flea the planet with primitive shuttle and fighter craft, they are targeted instantly by the fleet vessels.
http://www.b5tech.net/art/b5/shadowships001.jpg
The fleaing industrialist didn't stand a chance against the fleet ships that now surround the tiny planet. ShaRa have taken control of the planet and the complexes and have begun the rapid resupply. It is evident by the systematic destruction of complexes and housing, that the planet will soon be vacated. The traitor industerialist have been captured and will answer for their crimes against the Empire. Those who do not tell us what we seek will be ejected into space.
The Emperor has instructed the Fleet Elders to completely destroy "every" living beign and structure contained on this planet. The children of the industerialist will be seperated and turned over to the Slaver Command...

OOC: Cool looking ships, ShaRa. Still, that's not very nice.

IC: N|olélà is ready to discuss tactics. She's an expert on them.

-Statist HQ-
Gxsik!ò: I have a mission for you, Gkx'óse.
Gkx'óse: What? I'd be glad to do it for you.
Gxsik!ó: You need to infiltrate the fleet and get some info for us.
Gkx'óse: That isn't possible!
Gxsik!ò: Do it. You don't have a choice.
Gkx'óse: What, exactly, do you need? Why me?
Gxsik!ò: We need to know what the Letilan fleet has been doing. Get some records of their transmissions and activity. As for why you, you may be selfish, but you are certainly smart. Don't fail me or I'll kill you this time. I still question my decision to allow you to live. There has to be someone with your skill around here. Now get to your ship and obtain that data!

IC:

The Elarian Shuttle soon docks with the ANS Constitution. Out steps Emperor Roland , two Imperial Guards and the Commander of the Elarian Invasion Ground Forces which will help in securing planets in the ground campaign , her name is Keerana Senteth a member of the Valkyries. The tall Elarians all in their Elarian Armor enter the room and take a moment to look around before they seat themselves. Keerana sits a bottle of Elarian Ale in the middle of the large table.

Admiral O'Connor nods to the Elarians, and lauchs as he notices the bottle of Ale, knowing full well of the potency of the drink. The 'colonel' turns slightly away from the Elarians

On the planet surface...

As the massive hanger doors opened, Mwto'ar could do nothing but stand in awe as he gazed into Sambizie's future. The first consignments of the "new" Sambizie Marine Corps stood before him 200,000 strong, fully armed and ready to serve by his words. The joint project between Sambizie and Elarian researchers have brought hime to this day. The first of the Sambizie Legions. Mwto'ar grasped the hilt of his Elarian Blade and slowly drew the "greenish" sword above his head. At that instant, the Sambizie Legions pledged their very existance to the name of "Mwto'ar"...

...Beneath the stars that drip with blood I stand, defiant and alone...I am here Emperor.
Call on me, I beg of Thee. I was nothing before this day and nothing shall I remain if I cannot serve Thee now.
Pain and suffering are my just rewards. Do with me as serves Thee best. It matters not that I survive, only that which I defend.
Forfeit of life, but not honor, in Thy cause, death at last is welcome. I am here my Emperor, ready at last to be an instrument of thy will.
-Ready to obey and die......

The uniformed sound of the weapons loading all at once, brought a smile to Mwto'ars face. He stated to them, "May you serve your Emperor well." Mwto'ar replaced the blade as the Legions began to board transports to space...

Aboard the Sambizie Flagship....

The Coms. Officer looked up at the Captain, "Sir, you should see this", he stated. The Captain pulled himself out of the command seat and walked towards the display. As he arrived he noticed the hundreds of dots that filled the screen. At that moment, a massive fleet decloaked behind the ShaRa warship. He gave a little smile as to approve of the fleets presence and stated, "I'll let the Emperor know "the" fleet has arrived." He patted the officer on the back and added, "Someday you might command one of those", pointing at the alien fleet...

Crewmember: Take these brochures on anarchism and hand them out when you have a chance.
N|olélà: I will.

For everyone else, sorry for the wait, but it's Sambizie's RP, really and I'm waiting for his input.

OOC: done..hit ya back :lol:

"Thanks for coming, ladies and gentlemen." Admiral Jain Granger in command of the Adejaani fleet stood off to one side. Her subordinates and the rest of the Fleet COs and representatives were arrayed around the conference table aboard the Adejaani Flagship.

"I now direct your attention to the map. And my apologies, our stellar cartographers are a bit lazy, but this should give you the general idea of what we're dealing with." Granger paused to nod and a computer graphic appeared on the screen behind her.

http://home.iprimus.com.au/quincyw/ch3map.gif

"The big green dot is Magnia. It is believed that in the cities of Magnia, Sha'Ra 'psi warriors' are the ones responsible for mind controlling most of the population. In other words, kill a psi warrior, free the people. There are various factories for the Sha'Ra to make their mind control substances, but unfortunately, they're within city limits and there are civilians all around, so we'll have to deploy ground forces there to root them out.

"As such, we must use caution. I have stressed at the last meeting that we're not on a genocidal rampage. Most of the Magnian citizens are innocent people, caught up in all this. We must be careful to minimise casualties and only kill if our own troops are directly threatened.

"The big orange dot is Letila. We do not know how much military force the Statists have accumulated, but they must be brought to justice. Again, I stress, most of the Letilans are innocent, so do not go indiscriminately killing!

"The big purple dot is Traveller station. It is here the Magnian/Sha'Ra hybrids are built/grown/whatever. From here, the hybrids sail and this is where the bulk of our Fleet action will occur.

"The four small red dots are Sha'Ra resupply depots. By destroying them, we can reduce the Sha'Ra ability to conduct offensive military attacks for the time being, or so my Intelligence and Operations staffs say.

"We do not know how much Sha'Ra involvement there is, but it is believed to be light, mainly 'advisors' only.

"To complicate matters, the attack on one will alert the others and our job will be that much tougher if they defend in strength.

"Therefore, I propose that when we strike, we do so in three main sorties and four smaller ones. The four small sorties will generally consist of a carrier and maybe eight escorts, each one will blast a resupply depot.

"The three main sorties will go after Magnia, Letila and Traveller station. The first two, heavier in ground troops, the latter almost exclusively Fleet units.

"By striking at all seven targets at the same time, we can reduce their ability to reinforce and force them to gamble, to decide which to keep, which to sacrifice. It is risky, but we're in this to win. I now shall take criticisms and comments, but please remember to make them constructive." Granger left the podium and sat down, leaving the graphic up and wondering who was going to say the first reply.

OOC: Just a small note, unless Sha'Ra agrees, the actual Sha'Ra involvement will be minimal and the resupply depots are "plot devices" and no "fighting" by the main Fleet will occur there.

*Gkx'óse's ship docks with the Natsiûfiðakûni*
*He gets on board the ship*
Crewmember: Hello, Jq!x'àótóõ. We're discussing what places we could use filled. Do you want to participate?
Gkx'óse: No, I'll look around. I want to be familiar with this ship.
Crewmember: We thank you for volunteering, but ask that you don't do so on such short notice again. We'll tell you the results, but for now, fill this stuff out. It would be very helpful if we knew who you were.
*Hands Gkx'óse paparwork*
Gkx'óse: I'll keep that in mind.
*crewmember leaves*
Gkx'óse: Now I just need to find a computer.
*Finds a computer and attempts to access it*
Gk!x'èmol: Hello, Jq!x'àótóõ, is it? What are you doing?
Gkx'óse: Oh, nothing.
Gk!x'èmol: You sound and look familiar. You remind me of that crook Gkx'óse.
*Gkx'óse, very nervous, is startled*
Gkx'óse: Who, me? You must be, uh, mistaken.
Gk!x'èmol: Well, what are you doing? If it's game, I'd like to see it.
Gkx'óse: Oh, it's nothing. I'm just seeing what kind of computer system it is.*reaches for gun, Gk!x'èmol can't see it, though*
Gk!x'èmol: I do a lot of computer programming. It's one of my hobbies. That's why I'm here. I'd be glad to explain the system to you.
*Gkx'óse thinks to himself about how unlucky he is to confront Gk!x'èmol again. He has almost found the files and must upload them to take back.*

*On the Adejaani ship*

N|olélà: We have a good idea of where the Statists are hiding. We should know in 24 hours, when the lifesign search results are in, uh, Admiral Granger. You'll have to excuse my unfamiliarity with titles or command chain. We don't have that in Letila. It's hard for me to remember that here, people are required to do stuff rather than doing it because it's benefitial to everyone, including them. Anyway, we will give you the results when we have them.

OOC: Just a small note, unless Sha'Ra agrees, the actual Sha'Ra involvement will be minimal and the resupply depots are "plot devices" and no "fighting" by the main Fleet will occur there.

OOC: Adejaani- I got your TG and have read through the posts, The "mind-control" thing isn't really our style, but I'll submit as the "plot" is interesting enough. I will commit some "small" defensive forces at the Traveller Station and the Supply depots. I will post their actions as things develop, but don't expect too much. The bulk of the main fleet has concluded it's invasion of the industrial planet. The 51st Slaver Fleet and support is still enroute from the Empire to it's planned destination of Ironea, where it will meet up with the already existing fleets in the area.

Sambizie- TG me when you wan't me to RP the "flip" side, if you still wanna do it that way!??! For now, your investment in the industrial planet has been nullified.

Elara- Not sure what you ment by new toys...Mabey I missed something, Sorry..it was a long read and shame on me for being absent. TG me and I'll try to assist you.

Gk!x'èmol: I can see you haven't filled your paperwork out, yet. Why? You know it's helpful for us to know something about you. We don't want someone to assume a bunch of new identities. Hey, what are you pulling out of your pocket?
Gkx'óse: Oh, this?*pulls out gun*
*Gk!x'èmol pulls out gun*
Gk!x'èmol: So, it is you, Gkx'óse. I should have known. *Uses communication device* You're going to believe, but Gkx'óse's here. I could use some help. Don't try to shoot me, Gkx'óse. There are a bunch of people coming.
*Several people arrive*
Soldier: You're not going to shoot. You won't risk it. We have no reason to fear you. We hate to use force against another Letilan, but we don't have much of a choice. If you come with us and don't pull any tricks, we'll decide what to do with you.
*Gk!x'èmol looks at computer screen*
Gk!x'èmol: Ooh, that's not good. You are certainly a risk taker. Trying to hack into records. What were you thinking.
Gkx'óse: Please have mercy. I'll tell you where the Statist base is.
Gk!x'èmol: You tried to kill hundreds of people with a bomb you put in my pocket. Look at it this way. We're already being a lot more forgiving than any state would be. I didn't agree with it myself, but it was agreed that you were a pawn in the conspiracy and that we should try to give you another chance. It seems I was right all along.

OOC: Sorry pal, I had to mesh a few plots together and keep this going, I wasn't even sure if the RP were still alive. I had to explain away the Zoarg and keep you in this but without breaking the role play rules of having your forces under fire without you in control. Meh, we'll see how it goes.

And can everyone else in this RP please respond to my briefing? *Pokes*

N|olélà: I'm receiving a transmission. They've located the Statist HQ in the Letilan rainforest. It's not far from the uranium mine. I'll give you the coördinates.

OOC: Did you like how I mentioned that the Letilans are unfamiliar with military hierarchy?

OOC: SR I launched a secret mission and fired some new Elarian Weaponry , read the following youll get it.

IC:

Roland stands and looks around the room to the others , his face holds a serious grim look to it.

"Fellow Coallition Members , I am Roland Meridius of Elara." "It is true that Elara and Adejaani have not agreed to some aspects of war , not to mention diplomacy."

"I am worried though about this mission." "It all sounds good and looks good on screen but." "We would be bringing most of our fleets to that area and we could be walking into a trap that we must be prepared for." "There could be many Sha'Ra ships cloaked and waiting for us to come." "Then again they could be waiting for most of our ships to leave Siesana and when we do they strike Siesana and take it back." "Remember we are not only playing offensively , but defensively." "This could be a trap ladies and gentlemen , one that we MUST be prepared for."

"It is now that I will announce something that Elara has attempted to do to shorten this war and weaken the Sha'Ra Empire considerably , at least for a while..."

Roland looks around the table to the group of people who all do not make a sound. They seem entranced and all wonder what Roland is going to say next about this secret mission.

"Elara launched a mission called Project: Omega , we designed a prototype fighter that has a ..... differently designed cloaking device than most." "Using its cloaking device it carefully entered Sha'Ra territory , mapping everything it saw as it went further in." "Once it started noticing Sha'Ra worlds it began making scans , it located four of the most well developed planets that had large manufacturing capabilities." "At each of these four planets the small vessel dropped off a cylindrical object that floated there in space , it was equipped with systems that would make it invisible to scanning and radar." "Once all four of these were dropped off the Pilot then entered the codes in his forward panel to activate them , all four of them then took off to the 4 planets." "Once this occured the Pilot began heading back , it was an order that no transmissions be made." "We had been using an old method of communication which will remain classified for now , we know the pilot completed the mission." "What we do not know is if the 4 missiles made it to their targets , and we dont know where the pilot is." "Once ....if...he returns we should have the maps and information from parts or Sha'Ra Space." "These missiles ladies and gentlemen would make the Atom Bomb look like fireworks." "Im afraid theres no more I can tell you at this time."

Roland then sits down as the other people around the room begin to talk amongst themselves about what Roland had just told them.

"HAVE YOU GONE QUITE MAD?!" Granger had bolted out of her chair, not noticing she'd upset her glass of water onto her lap. "Wait, you're serious, aren't you? You, the Emperor of Elara, are seriously going to blow up a dozen planets because you can?! My God, that's inhuman!" Granger stopped talking and wrung her hands, then crossed the room and planted her hands and stuck her face near Emperor Meridius'.

"I thought the Elarans prided themselves on their martial traditions and their warrior codes. Yet you hide behind these weapons which, I remind you, Weapons of Mass Destruction are banned under the constitution of APTO! Even ignoring that fact, you're not willing to fight?!

"I don't know about the Elarans, but everyone that wears the uniform of the Adejaani military forces is a volunteer! We gave up our choice to be private citizens so we can take up arms in defense of our country and peace for our friends and allies!

"Yes, it's a thankless job. More often a crappy job than not. We get paid little, but get demanded of a lot. Get shot halfway across the world and even shot at by hostile forces. People and loved ones get injured, even killed in the line of duty.

"We chose to make this our job in life and we know the risks involved. If we're to die, then we die, but it's a risk that's acceptable. We don't seriously believe anything could be sprung on us. But by damn, you blow up a single world and I'll quit this alliance and take my ships back home! Is this how you fight, you pompous warrior?!"

Crewmember: I really hate to use what be considered force, but we simply can't let you get away with what you did. As much as many people would like to lynch you, we have agreed not to. That's the thing. Most people think we would be killing eachother off quickly, but they forget that states do it all the time.
Gkx'óse: Are you trying to impress me? Your squeemishness will be your undoing.
Crewmember: We'd appreciate it if you were a little nicer. We don't have to hold back our anger. We had every reason a state would need to kill you. We had no rules to stop us. This is simply to give you a chance to change.
Gk!x'èmol: And you haven't changed at all, have you?

The two Imperial Guards begin to run up , their hands on their Elarian Swords , Roland stands up and lifts one hand signalling them to stop.

Roland puts his face up to Grangers and looks at her quite offended.

"Inhuman?" "Yes , we arent human miss Granger." "And no we arent blowing up planets we chose the planets that have the most manufacturing capabilities , this does not destroy all life on the planet , just alot of it and will guarantee the destruction of all those facilities."

"We pride ourselves very much Granger , this is the first time we've used WMDs in our long history and I think APTO wouldnt mind if they knew the danger the entire universe now faces." "You have been comfortable up here in your ship Granger but I was on the frontlines , ask yourself what happened to all the Zoarg , ask yourself how come so many Coallition Ground Forces were killed in the liberation of Siesana." "Its because we are FOOD for the Sha'Ra , they kill us , they eat us...we are NOTHING to them." "If they defeat us they will spread throughout the universe like a plague destroying all in their path , their thirst cannot be quenched!" "Elarians have fought and died on the frontlines , we dont even have colonies or interests here but we still fight!" "And you say we arent willing to fight?!" "Granger you would threaten to walk out on this Coallition?" "You are a coward and you would be responsible for the destruction of Sol and the Universe as well as the annihilation of life as we know it." "If we do not stop this here and now , if we do not hold strong then everyone will suffer for it!" "I am willing to do anything to save my people and my allies , are you?" "And you speak to me as if Ive blown up an artistic peaceful society." "All Ive done is try to weaken a mindless , merciless race of spiders that would see us all dead." "Speak to me of war when you know something of it , dont just speak out of emotion Granger." "It is lucky that the Elarians are willing to stay and help you when all youve done is put down our people and ruin our diplomatic relations." "I would think more clearly before you throw another one of your temper tantrums."

Granger took a step back and spoke through gritted teeth, lest she verbally hurl what she was thinking at the Elaran. "I can accept it on Sha'Ra worlds, but not on Magnia and Letila. There are innocent people on those worlds still. You can use them on Sha'Ra worlds, but not there. You are not going to kill them all, you just are not!"

"If I thought that Magnia and Letila were threats equal to that of the Sha'Ra and that they were capable of annihilating all in their path without remorse then you would have noticed large explosions on both worlds." "The fact is that they are not and thats why we have not , the fact is also that Adejaani does NOT dictate how Elara conducts war."

Roland still had a very offended look on his face. Years of diplomatic relations between Adejaani and Elara had been crumbling over the last few months.

N|olélà: You're going to use weapons of mass destruction on Letila! I doubt anyone off Letila would agree to allow you to exist afterwards. You don't want us to BDZ you.

OOC: I never said Letila was on a different planet. I always thought of it on Earth, populated by humans mostly of what would be considered a race. It does make sense that Letila would have moved to another planet, though, if it has such advanced space travel.

"Thank you, Emperor, for your..... understanding. I apologise for my outburst. In that event, I once again leave the floor open to discussion of tactics and strategy regarding the battle plan." Granger bowed at Emperor Meridius and returned to her seat, though spilled more water in her lap and chipped a tooth as her hands were shaking and couldn't hold her water glass still.....

Whoever said alliance warfare could be so fun?

N|olélà: You're going to use weapons of mass destruction on Letila! I doubt anyone off Letila would agree to allow you to exist afterwards. You don't want us to BDZ you.

OOC: It was a mistake, talking about the use of the weapons on Magnia and Letila. I'm sorry. I misread the post in my haste. As for having the Letilan homeworld, that was just assumed. Oh and I did enjoy your gaffe about no military. :wink:

Admiral O'Connor still seated, was speechless. He had a great look of shock on his face. For long had the CLF people admired the Elarians, but Admiral O'Connor was now forced to challange that admiraiton.
Seemingly un-phased by the shocking news, the CLF 'Colonel' stood, and began to speak.
"I know that this is war. The CLF has not been an APTO member for nearly as long as the rest of you here, but we have, I belive, earned our place among the highest in the alliance. " Admiral O'Connor, now with a look of horror on his face began to stand and reached for the 'Colonel', but the 'colonel cut him off'
"It's okay Colin. Excuse me, I must explain some things. I wear the markings of a Colonel in the CLF's Republican Liberty Dragoons(RLD's) but I am not so. My name is William O'Connor, High Marshall of the CLF.
And as head of state, and military forces of the CLF, I can speak for us all, that my friend the Emporer here, has opened pandora's box.
But I ask you, do not start a war between allies, we are here, to save the innocent, to save the oppressed, to save the peopel who will be EATEN by this 'bug' threat if we do not do something. War is Hell, as General Sherman once said. I do not condone the use of those weapons by the Elarians in anyway, furthermore do I displike the secrecy they practiced, while we are working in a coallition, but I do understand his point of view. From the warriors standpoint, this war has reached the point were some rules need to be cast aside. But that is not from all points of view. But now is not the time to deal with that. Now is the time to use this stike against the enemy, and hit them again! Now is the time where we take Admiral Granger's battle plan, and put it to use! Now is when we sweep this war, now is when we ensure the safety of the peoples who would otherwise be the food for these monsters. Now is the time we fight, now is the time we win. For glory, or honnor, or gods, or justice, or what ever drives us all to fight this fight. We must use it, and sweep the field, now is the time for victory!"

OOC: I made an EDIT, I took out the 'horrid, horrid" part.

OOC: It was a mistake, talking about the use of the weapons on Magnia and Letila. I'm sorry. I misread the post in my haste. As for having the Letilan homeworld, that was just assumed. Oh and I did enjoy your gaffe about no military.

OOC: Well, I think Letila is on it's own planet. We could always say that it happened a while back.

N|olélà: I understand. If they did, it would have been genocide against the Tu'îmû ethnic group! It would have been terrorism!

Granger cleared her throat. "Well uh..... Now that we're reaching a consensus, it's time to work out some basic operational level stuff. Captain Shield Williamson of the Adejaani Fleet will lead the force going up against the Magnians. Although he's junior to a lot of other Officers, nevertheless, up until recently, he was leader of that world and it's his turf, so he'll have the honor of being in charge there.

"Gkx'óse of the Letilan..... Uh..... Contingent is in charge of the force going up against the Letilans for much the same reasons, their turf, they know where the fight is.

"And Emperor Meridius..... You can have the honor of leading the charge against Traveller Station. There aren't any innocents there, so you're free to blast them away as you so please.

"A senior Captain or equivalent will be in command of each depot strike missions, depending on who's assigned.

"As we have no 'real time' intelligence, we cannot plan any deeper. But nevertheless, we'll be dividing the Fleet up appropriately and I want at least one ship or unit representing each strike group. We're in this together and we'll see it through together. Questions?"

N|olélà: Did you say that Gkx'óse should lead the Letilan contigent? I thought we explained that he was a terrorist working for a fascist organization known as the Statists. We just caught him trying to spy on us. Maybe you confused the name with Gk!x'émol. I'm impressed that you managed to pronounce Gkx'óse, though. It's not easy for English speakers.

"Admiral Granger, at the moment the CLF has 152 Vessels in the area. 10 of them could be considered 'Capital' ships. Among those vessels there are 3 divisions of Marines, ready to land. Furthermore, we have 16 vessels that have proven to be quite deadly to larger ships, also equipped with cloaking devices, yet you have assigned us no real part in this attack. I mean only to ask why?"
The High Marshall seemed to have a perplexed look on his face, a mixture of confusion, and hurt.

OOC: Just reposting important things from other page, if that's OK with you.

Adejaani's briefing:
Granger cleared her throat. "Well uh..... Now that we're reaching a consensus, it's time to work out some basic operational level stuff.

Granger turned to the Letilan delegate. "Whoever you decide to pick as your leader, shall lead the Letilan Fleet. I do apologise, as you said, Letilan names are difficult to read and pronounce, which would explain the numerous errors as far as our intelligence and other briefing summaries and information goes."

Granger then thought carefully and turned to face the Liberty Fighters group. "High Marshall, I didn't mean to offend you. The assignments for command of the spearheads was chosen based on the competencies and strengths of each group. I assure you, the LF Fleet is an important part of our flotilla and you'll be fighting alongside us. I just deemed it quicker and more expedient to divide the commands that way. I did not mean to offend you with it."

O'Connor grinned and slightly chuckled to himself
"Admiral, do not be confused by my words, although it is hard I understand, I find myself confused by them all the time. I do not wish to have a command of a strike, I was just inquiring into which part you want my forces to play...I should have been more direct I guess, not matter. Now lets crack this baby open, and tost to victory."
The High Marshall reached over and picked up the bottole of Elarian Ale, opening it and looking up suggestingly

N|olélà: Do we need to stay? The Letilan fleet is ready to take on the Statists.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION
Sambizie High Command
<<<Encrypted>>>

SENDING
http://www.gamesdomain.com/playstation/reviews/red7.jpg
For those of you who don't know me, I am Emperor Mwto'ar Uganda of the Sambizie. It is good to see my old friends once again...By now, the Siesana Fleets have gathered and will drive into ShaRa space within the hour. My sources and intelligence have informed me that a "new" course has been plotted against the ShaRa...this is good. However, the Sambizie will continue as planned with the direct assult against the ShaRa Empire. Although I relize there have been some newer developments surrounding this campaign, we...the Sambizie will stay true to our course and answer for our actions.

Deep space scans have detected a massive spacial disturbance within the ShaRa outter rim. We are unable to determine if these disturbances are the result of new ShaRa weaponary or the natural course of space and time. In either case, it has been noted that some smaller planets within the area have suffered major atmospheric and gelogical stress. In any case, what I tell you now may come to a suprise for some of you. But I assure you once again that this is "our" course and you need not subject yourselves or your people towards our course of action....

As some of you are aware, the Sambizie have engaged in genitic experimentation as well as bio and chemical research. We were fully aware of our actions, thus we left APTO as to continue this research. It saddened many Sambizie people that we left such a peaceful region...However, given the threat agains us, we felt it for the greater good of all life if we departed Sol.

During my absence of Siesana, major developments have taken place. The first being the formation of an alliance with ShaRa contractors and industrialist. The second being the development and production of the new Sambizie Marine Corps, through genitic enhancement and DNA cloning.

Lastly....and most importantly, the Sambizie have taken a pivitol step in this war by infiltrating, communicating, and forming an Alliance with the Empire of the ShaRa. This alliance has been formed with members of the ShaRa higherarchy of the Demon Fleets. These warriors, opposed to the direction that the current Emperor of the ShaRa directs them, have agreed to side with the Sambizie. I will not go into further details but I will say, these "defectors" have signed a non-agression pact with the Sambizie, however we are still hostile to Emperor controlled forces.

I, along side the Demon Fleet will meet the Siesana Fleet enroute to the Emperor's homeworld. There, a full-scale invasion will commence with the end result being; the death of myself or the occupation of the ShaRa homeworld. Anything less will not be accepted. As we begin our journey, we have made preparations to build in numbers. Cloning colonies have begun and continue to produce Sambizie Legions.

We will meet again in battle my friends and my best wishes to you all....I will contact you all as soon as we enter the GZNRII System.....

Emperor Uganda holds his Elarian Blade upright in front of his face. He slowly closes his eyes and bows his head for a moment. He then lifts his head, "You have done yet another favor for the Sambizie dear friend." "Find no dishonor in the destruction of pure evil..."
"Only the dead can see the end of war..."
END TRANSMISSION

As Emperor Uganda's shuttle returned from the planet surface, Elder Vlt'kou dispatched a message to the Sambizie Flagship...

I trust you will not forget our arrangments Emperor Uganda...The Demons awaite your commands...
http://hyperspace.isnnews.net/shad/shadmoth_lg1.jpg

Within seconds, 25 ShaRa Battlecruisers, destroyers, frigates, and transports decloaked around the Sambizie vessel...

Roland jumps from his seat immediately after the transmission.

"My friend wait!" "Elara will aid you!"

Rolands eyes looked sad as he gazed to the now dark screen....his old friend and ally had spoken Elaras motto.

Roland turns back and looks at the rest of the Coallition Leaders.

"That is his task , but we can aid him!" "We must fly like the eagles of war to the Magnian and Letilan Worlds , we shall cut off the Emperors supplies there." "That is all that we can do for our friend now , the rest of the task is up to him." "The Blue Tide cometh..."

Roland then walks out of the room followed by the rest of the Elarian group. They soon were back onboard the Osiris , Flagship of the Empire.

N|olélà: If you don't need us here, we'll be leaving. We really need to take on the Statists while we can. They might move to another area.

The Sambizie Flagship along with the SR Demon ships, speed twards their next destination. Through the slience of space, all that could be heard is the sound of the driver pulsating through the hull of the ship. An ocational cough by a crew member would break the silence every once in awhile. On the bridge, sat Mwto'ar and the ships Captain. Foward of them, navigation and helm control.

Mwto'ar reflected on the past, to a time when he was just a student and the son of an King. A time when it would be his older brother Utto'ar, who sat in the seat with the balance of an Empire at the tip of his lips. The visions of Mwto'ar gazing at his father and older brother while he stood in the corner, (out of the way), in the war room. As the dieing words of his father forever echo in his mind...the "peaceful" silence was suddenly broken when the bridge went red and a crewman shouted...

.."Coms..Contact bearing..1837 Delta...Scanners indicate a single Class 3 anomoly..."

(Class 3 anomolies are identified as a smaller ShaRa vessel such as a Scoutship, Escort, or group of fighters).

Within seconds, Elder Vlt'kou of the Demon Command appeared on his chairs view screen... Our scanners indicate an Emperor Scoutship...they may have been dispatched to contact us. We are plotting an intercept course to communicate. It is unlikely that the ship has identified you signature...Now would be a good time to use your new technology Emperor Uganda...and remember...Stay Close to our Fleet!"

The screen went black and Mwto'ar gave the orders..
Sound Battlestations...
AYE SIR...Sounding Battlestations...*blaring horn*
Engage Claoking Device...
Systems on...
Ready STX Driver...
Driver Ready...
Engage

The ship gave a slight "jolt" as the order was given. After a few seconds of the ships main driver pulsating faster than it ever had, there was once again silence. Mwto'ar eased his way back in his seat before giving "navigation" a final command, "Match course and speed".

*Letilan fleet heads back to Letila*

Gk‡x'èmol: We're going back to Letila. It looks like your Statist movement is done for.
Gkx'óse: I've been thinking. I might as well join you. After seeing how well anarchism works, I've realized that my objections were unfounded. I couldn't go back to the Statists, anyway. They'd execute me.
Gk‡x'èmol: I'm not sure we'd let you back. There's still ways you can redeem yourself. I don't like you. A lot of people don't like you. You aren't in a good possition. We've agreed to look for some way to redeem yourself, so consider yourself lucky.

Encrypted message to Elaran flagship

Admiral Granger wishes a brief personal audience with Emperor Meridius at the earliest possible opportunity to discuss a small but important matter.

*Gk‡x'èmol, Gkx'óse and a few ships have returned to Letila*

Gkx'óse: I've been thinking out what you've said. It makes more sense for me to help you. I can tell you where to attack. The Statists are very hierarchial and there is a specific place where the leader is usually at.
Gk‡x'èmol: This will be helpful. How many troops are there?
Gkx'óse: 1,000. The real dificulty is the automated defenses, though. There are a lot of them, so you'll have to watch out for that.
Gk‡x'èmol: How can I trust you?
Gkx'óse: I can't go back. I've messed up too many times. They would never forgive me.

High Marshall O'Connor opened a transmission to Admiral Granger, encoded, for her eyes only

"Admiral, my men wait for action, we are here, we are ready, and we are able. Where are we to go. We will sweep the field of all who oppose us in these comming days ma'am, for the firey fury of liberty cannot be stopped."

Encrypted message to Elaran flagship

Admiral Granger wishes a brief personal audience with Emperor Meridius at the earliest possible opportunity to discuss a small but important matter.

The Elarian Shuttle once again docks with the ANS Constitution. Three men step out , Roland and two Imperial Guards.

Roland is guided by Adejaani personel to the room in which Granger was staying. He signalled his two Imperial Guards to wait outside as he walked in. As the doors closed behind him he walks up to Granger.

"The Imperial Fleet stands ready." "What is it you needed Granger?"

"Alright, Emperor Meridius, I'll make this quick and to the point. Your wife is in a coma." The Elaran stood there gaping then slumped into a chair, the shock clear on his face. Granger then got him a glass of water and softened her tone.

"The weapon the assassin used was an M64 .45 calibre pistol, the standard sidearm of the Adejaani military and the various law enforcement agencies. We chose it because of its lethality and ability to make big holes in bad guys. So when Empress Meridius got hit, she got hit in the upper rib area just underneath her left collarbone.

"The initial impact pretty much blasted apart her left shoulder, left collarbone and much of her upper ribs. The secondary effects (kinetic energy imparting) paralysed her diaphragm while the bullet's splintering shredded parts of her left lung and her heart.

"She was fine, with major shoulder reconstruction and machines to aid her along, but it seems some bullet fragments embedded in her spine, something that wasn't picked up at the beginning. We noticed something was wrong when she said she couldn't feel her toes. Then she slipped into a coma and we found a fair fragment inside her spinal material. We don't know if there'll be any permanent neurological damage.

"For the moment, sir, she's getting the best medical care we can get her and we've got neurologists, brain surgeons and all manner of physicians working on her. I'm just letting you know, sir, that she's in a coma....."

Roland stumbled back into a chair , almost falling. His eyes showed anger for a moment , then shock and concern. He looks up into Grangers eyes.

"I....I will send Elarian Doctors and Scientists to assist your own." "I will also be sending a Priestess , do not argue with me about doing this it is what I want for her."

Roland opened his hands and looked into them , he appeared in deep thought.

"Granger , make sure you talk to your people down there." "Dont interfere with my Doctors." "Ill also be sending some Imperial Guards down.....she must be safe." "Forget all our petty differences Granger do this for me." "The Magnians will be put down swiftly , I will leave some vessels to protect Siesana....."

"I'll see to it that it happens, Emperor. Let me be candid a moment. As much as I agree to your feelings on a personal basis, we have to focus on our goal. I put you in charge of the attack on Traveller Station because I know you're the best at what you do. On behalf of my people, I thank you for the trust and faith in allowing us to carry on with our duties. I, in turn, have already given you that trust and faith.

"If there's nothing else, Emperor, I need to get a few intelligence reports compiled and sent out to the Fleet so we know what we're up against."

Roland stood tall and smiled at Granger , the first smile he'd given since he'd arrived at Siesana.

"Elarians never lose site of the task at hand." "The Station will be no problem for us." "I trust you as well Granger , though Ive had my doubts." "This is war Elarians are all too used to it , we'll get the job done as always." "See you in battle Granger." "Make sure your people take care of my wife."

Roland nods his head slightly to Granger and turns. Soon he is back on the Osiris and most of the Imperial Fleet is in formation and ready for the attack.

OOC: Although the pictures used are for Star Wars ships, hardly any of the tech is present and various limitations are noted.

IC: Encrypted intelligence report to all vessels

My name is Captain Shield Williamson of the Adejaani Fleet. This is an intelligence report on Magnian vessels as I can best summarise. It should be noted Magnia landed on a world where the previous civilisation had died out due to radiation as a result of nuclear warfare, which advanced the general tech level of Magnia by an average of fifty years faster than normal technological progression.

F-39 Tanner type Fighter

http://www.starwarsnet.co.uk/xwing.jpg

The standard Fighter of Magnia, though somewhat fragile and temperamental, it is equipped with low level energy shields and four forward pulse lasers. The use of a Robotic Droid unit allows for many automated functions such as flight control, countermeasures, electronic warfare kits and so forth. Cheap to construct, the Magnian inventory consists of almost 5,000 of these fighters.

Jackson class Heavy Cruiser

http://www.starwarsnet.co.uk/dreadnaught.jpg

As can be seen from the above picture, the Jackson is an unimpressive vessel, but at three hundred metres and packing firepower and defenses consistent with a vessel twice its size, the ships are formidable. They're also constructed modularly and heavily computer reliant, with a crew of only about two hundred.

The Magnian Republic almost bankrupted itself building and maintaining a fleet of 500 of these vessels, though the up side of it was, in six major Fleet actions against enemy aggressors intent on a ripe target, Magnia won all six with minimal losses and beat back the invasions.

Unmodified, the ships sport twenty 40 Gigawatt Pulse Lasers, mounted in pods all over the hull, with hardly any 'blind spots' for ships to sneak up on. Further, each ship can carry about twenty Fighters.

However, since the Sha'Ra began meddling in Magnian affairs, the weapons systems and defenses have been upgraded significantly, so much so they can now rate as 'Dreadnoughts', with regenerative bio-armor. Low rate production of these hybrids continues and intelligence estimates a rough total of 200 hybrids, with the original 500 unmodified vessels still in service.

Robertson class Battleship

http://www.starwarsnet.co.uk/calamaricruiser.jpg

The big juggernauts of the Magnian Fleet, these ships are absolutely superb vessels, having roughly three times the shielding and defenses of any vessel, well, anywhere! Backed up with an impressive arsenal of a hundred and twenty 60 Gigawatt Pulse Lasers, 60 Ion based energy weapons and 300 fighters, these ships are superbly built. There are 4 of these ships in service and it appears they only received the Sha'Ra bio-armor upgrades.

General report on Magnian Army

The Magnian Army are all volunteer, however, there was essentially no cap to the 'upper limit'. The Magnian Army was therefore maintained at almost 10 million at an extremely high cost and caused numerous budget overruns. The standard weapon is a low leve pulse laser weapon, which has an extremely good energy density. In other words, the battle would end long before there's a need to recharge.

In terms of other equipment, apart from some helmet and eyepiece assisted sights and minor energy deflecting body armor, the basic Magnian Infantryman isn't well equipped. Heavier units are armed with more powerful rocket and heavy pulse laser systems which can decimate enemy armor or large groups of enemy infantry.

N|oélà: We'll take care of the Statists. Ground forces are already being sent to take them on. The Letilan fleet is free to battle the Magnians. Gigawatt level weapondry is no problem for us in an ofitself, though the numbers they have are great. Letilan weadondry is at the low end, 4 gigawatts for fighter weapons and 1 terawatt for heavy capital ship weapons. We only have 21 capital ships and 50 fighters. The bioarmor sounds bad, though. Our laser weapons weren't designed with it in mind and may not be effective.
We only have enough troops in the fleet to defend ships from boarders. They won't do any good against 10 million troops. Our ships orbitally bombard the surface of Magnia. Surgical strikes could be done.
Also, what will happen to Magnia after the war?

General transmission to Coalition Fleet

To address some concerns raised by various Fleet Commanders, after the Battles of Magnia and Letila, the citizens of those planets are free to determine their fate after the responsible parties are taken out of the picture. If they require reconstruction or aid in setting up a new form of government, they are free to. But it should be the decision of the people to do what they like.

As for the enhanced Magnian vessels, the bulk of those hybrids are at Traveller Station, so the bulk of the Fleet will go there. Further intelligence estimates that most of the Magnian unmodified ships are commanded by 'normal' Magnian crews who might well be reasoned with.

As for when we deploy, there will be three days of final planning and strategy. Please make known Fleet numbers of 'fighting' ships as soon as possible so assignments can be assigned. Thank you.

Transmission Opened:

"This is Emperor Roland Meridius." "The Imperial fleet stands ready for jump." "Five Imperial Destroyers will stay to watch over Siesana , the rest will move on to the Elarian Objective." "The following is the list of Elarian Vessels." "Roland out."

Transmission to all vessels

For ease of logistics and simplicity, Letila will handle the Statists on the Letilan homeworld; the Elarans shall destroy Traveller Station; and the Adejaani Fleet will attack Magnia. This attack is scheduled to begin immediately.

As a hedge, a small reserve force of cruisers and a few Battalions of troops shall remain behind. If any of the three forces requires aid, it will come from here. Nevertheless, based on the numbers, I believe we have adequate amounts of power to prevail. Good luck, good hunting.

Transmission Opened:

"The Gods bless us brothers and sisters of the Coallition." "We shall have victory this day." "Happy hunting." "Ill see you in battle."

Transmission Ended.

The Imperial Fleet minus five Elarian Destroyers which will protect Siesana , jumps to Magnian Space. As the Imperial Fleet arrives all fighters are launched. The 375 Detri and Genari Fighters stream towards enemy vessels and engage them. The Imperial Fleet then begins continuous fire against the Magnian Vessels , it is blue hell. Plasma Torpedoes and Plasma Fire all around , it looks like total chaos. But to the Elarian Warriors this is just a hunt.

"Centurion , prepare the boarding parties." "That Station is a trophy , one I mean to take."

The Centurion bows and salutes Emperor Roland Meridius.

"Yes Sire , it shall be done."

Around Traveller Station, only a force of twelve Magnian Heavy Cruisers was on alert. Driving in a wedge, they charged forward into the Elaran Fleet, firing as they go, generally shrugging off the incoming fire. Within ten minutes, two Battleships and a hundred Heavy Cruisers stand between the Elarans and Traveller Station.

The enhanced shielding and armor protects the ships in the initial volleys. Aboard each ship, a Captain gritted his teeth. Although the Magnian return fire was weaker, their defenses evened the score, as they fell into a massed attack, diving into the center of the Elaran Fleet.

The Elarian Fleet forms a semi circle around the Magnian Fleet. Continuous fire lights up the darkness of space. The Mwto'ar Class Frigates begin launching their Fragmentation Missiles into the Magnian Fleet.

The shielding on the Elarian vessels protect them during the assault of the Magnian Fleet. Gentari and Detri Fighters continue to strafe and hammer at the Magnian Fleet. The Elarian Destroyers target the two Magnian Battleships and unleash hell onto them as the rest of the fleet fights the other Magnian Vessels. The Elarian Transport Ships stay back but fire from a distance into the Magnian Fleet.

The Magnian forces spot the troop transports and begin adjusting their vectors to intercept when the first Heavy Cruiser falls out of formation, the silvery cones of atmosphere venting evident. The Magnian Captains again grit their teeth. These are the finest and most fanatical. They'd all die before surrendering.

Losses: Two Heavy Cruisers, minor damage to two more.

N|olélà: We've been ordered to go back to Letila. The Statists won't stand a chance.
*The Letilan fleet hyperspaces home*
*They contact the Statists*
Gk‡x'èmol: The Letilan fleet is here. What are you going to do now, Statists?
Gxsik!ò(holo): I think not. We are actually ready to unveil our master plan. We have 25 hypermatter bombs, each one with about 1 teraton of explosive energy!
Gk‡x'èmol: No you don't. Where would you get that much hypermatter?
Gxsik!ò: The Magnians, of course. We've also been saving up hypermatter for years. They've been backing us. Either you surrender and allow us to institute a fascist state or we will kill the planet with these bombs. When shot at key locations, they will devastate the planet. Make your choice: give into our demands or watch your planet be devastated. Either way, we win. Our underground base is all but impenatrable.
Gk‡x'èmol: I don't believe it. I never saw that coming. We'll need to contact the troops on the ground.
N|olélà: They're contacting us.
Soldier(holo): They're retreating. I think we won.
N|olélà: Not even close. They've issued an ultimatum. They're going to nuke the planet.
Soldier(holo): No way. They couldn't-It makes sense now. The troops were just to make us think they were going to fight ordinarily.
*transmission ends*
Gxsik!ò: Have you made your decision? To help you, I'll send you a give.
*Fires bomb at Letilan fleet*
*Ships fire frantically at it*
*They hit it just before it gets close enough to do damage*
*It yields a huge explosion*
Gk‡x'èmol: Ooh, this is not going to be easy. Does anyone have any ideas? We need them.
Crewmember: We could use tractorbeams to pull them away and destry them.
N|olélà: They are big enough for the tractorbeams to lock onto. It's worth a try.(Contacts rest of fleet)We have an idea. We recommend tractorbeaming the bombs away from the planet.
*Transmissions from ships*
Good idea
We'll try it
I hope it works
*Transmissions end*
Gxsik!ò(holo): Time's up. Have you made your decision?
N|olélà: We choose not to give into your demands.
Gxsik!ò(holo): :twisted: You will die!

Though being big and bulky and with light armament the Elarian Transports are in no way defenseless and begin firing into the oncoming magnian vessels as they move into the rest of the Imperial Fleet. Elarian Battleships move around the transports and begin targeting Magnian Vessels and bare down on them.

Elarian Shuttles launch from the Imperial Fleet and begin heading to dock with Magnian vessels to board them. Imperial Fighters swarm in to protect the Elarian Shuttles as they move towards the Magnian Fleet.

A Coms. Officer turns to look behind him, "Sir, it has begun", he stated to the Commander. "Good, I was hoping for a little action before we reached the fleet", he stated.

After traveling 8 months now, the small fleet commanded by, Vice Commander Alex Thd'sd, was eager to see "real" space once again. Although what appeared to be "sitting still" to them, the tiny fleet consisting of only 4 vessels has traveled "Mass" distances. Thd'sd stood from his chair gave a slight nod and stated, "Red Alert!" From the next few minutes it was a volly of commands being issued by Thd'sd, that followed Sambizie Protocol by the letter. After the main phaser banks, torpedo tubes, and the "Alert-5" have been readied, The Vice Commander looks at the bridge "Drive Officer",(DO), "Do we have an exit solution", Thd'sd questions...
AYE SIR...Solution confirmed...
How close....
Within 3,000,000 km of the heaviest consentration of vessels sir...
Very well...
"All ships ready Glonmoton Torpedo's"..."Ready Isokinetic Cannon's..."
The vessel mass a loud, constant, "hissing" sound as the foward cannon was being preped. The Vice Commander had been through this "drill" once before, but only in practice...not in combat. Thd'sd was confident of his crew and ships abilities, as did the other 3 Captains.

Thd'sd took a deep breath and addressed the other Fleet Commanders....
"Ok, let's do what these ships do best Commander's...This will be strictly a "Hit and Run" exercise." "We will exit at 8,000,000km...at 5,000,000km fire the Glonmoton's at the hostiles." "We'll coast at W1.5 to 5,500,000km and fire the foward, isokenitic cannons and one salvo from every torpedo tube and phaser array." "After you get your shots off, with the exception of the fighters...the rest of the fleet re-engage the STX drives and plot a "fluid" solution to the rear of the Coalition Fleets...." "I want to make this clear to everyone...Our MAIN objective is the "Awakening" of any SR Fleetships and secondly Coalition defence...but judging by the size of the fleets, the coalition should be able to handel it." "Now, it is critical that we remember...than prior to our exit..we will "trigger" a spacial anomoly that may be interpeted as ShaRa signatures." "It is vital, that we keep an open hail, which "could" be intercepted by SR vessels." "As soon as "our" signatures are reconized by the coalition, transmit the secured channels." "As a precaution, we will launch the SA-43 and Vampire's in advance, thus they will be unable to return to fluidity with the fleet, being so, the fighters will NOT engage and are ordered to "run" interfearance with the hostiles."

Near Traveller Station....

A spacial anomoly occures, (looks like a SR Jumpgate), 8,000,000km's off the most foward of the Magnia Fleetships. A squadron of 48 "Hammerheads" emerge and the group takes up a defensive stance. Seconds later, with a stronger signature, the anomoly appears behind the Hammerhead's. Another squadron of 48 Vampire's emerge and then "cloak".

The 4 Allied Power Class Dreadnaught's emerge like comets into space. Vapor particals freeze and reflect the bright flashes of weapons launching at the Magnian Command Ships...

The Magnian Fleet around Traveller Station is temporarily stunned (both physically and psychologically) by the arrival of the Sambizie Fleet. To meet the fighter threat, Traveller Station launches a thousand fighters, its entire complement while further out in space, the remainder of the modified Heavy Cruisers jump in.

The original Magnian Fleet, faced with grim certainty, decide a straight fight isn't the answer. Captains nod slowly, saying quick prayers before telling their Helm Officers to ram the Flagships and transports of both the Elaran and Sambizie Fleets.

OOC: Magnian Fleet status:

• Traveller Station, minor shield damage (roughly 90% shield strength)
• Two Battleships, minor damage to both (roughly 50% shielding)
• Two hundred Heavy Cruisers, sixteen destroyed, seven damaged
• One thousand Fighters

Transmission to Letilan Fleet

Congratulations on freeing your world. For now, send your Fleet to Traveller Station to aid in the battle there as it seems to be evenly matched. After it's over, you're free to carry on with rebuilding Letila, or you can send your Fleet to continue our campaign against the Sha'Ra, a cause which may extend beyond our lifetime and may take our children or our children's children to accomplish, but we shall continue forward.

However, as said, go to Magnia to help out.

The Imperial Fleet seems well , only minor damage so far but this hell is far from over it seems. In the Captains Chair of the Osiris sits Emperor Meridius , he sits in a position looking as Caesar on his throne.

"We'll be ok , they wont withstand much longer , continue launching full volleys of Plasma Torpedoes and continuous fire."

The Osiris suddenly shakes violently , from the bridge it is seen Magnian Ships slamming into Transports even some going after the Fenrir , Prince Svens Ship.

"All ships full reverse , continuous fire , unleash hell!" "All available power to shielding!"

Roland slams armor covered fist onto the panel in front of him.

"Engineering , all available power to Shields..." "Engineering respond!"

All that is heard is static and Roland soon turns and runs to the lifts placing his first officer in command until he returns. As the turbo lifts doors shut another major hit is heard then another and another. Prince Sven watches from his ship the Fenrir as the Osiris becomes helpless and then a Magnian Cruiser makes the deathblow...as the Osiris explodes into peices of burning debris so do several Elarian Transports it is a terrible sight to behold...

Svens face looks shocked then anger is all that fills it.

"Scan the debris , is there any life in there...."

A Centurion begins to scan the area using his control panel.

"M'lord theres a small section that seems to have been sealed , theres one life sign aboard , vital signs arent looking good."

"Get a shuttle with an Engineering team there now!" "Go for the love of the Gods!"

The Comm Officer nods and sends out its commands to the Shuttle Bay. The doors of the Bay open up soon and an Elarian Shuttle swoops out and docks with the peice of debris. The Fenrir then moves in to guard the area as the rest of the Imperial Fleet blasts away at the Magnian Fleet.

"Gods , please....save the Emperor .....save my father."

Engineers work through the narrow passage way and cut a section large ehough to fit through away. They then pull a ragged body out of the Turbo Lift. The shuttlecraft with its new passenger then detaches itself and moves back to the Fenrir.

Sven runs into the bay after the shuttle lands. Elarian Doctors rush in and gasp , then cheers are heard. Sven rushes to the side of this person being pulled away on a GS. It was Roland , though in bad shape h had survived , the gods had answered Svens prayer.

"Hold on my father Im bringing you home."

Roland seems to smile before he goes unconscious again and Svens face turns proud as he pats his fathers chest staining his hand with blue blood. Sven then walks to the Bridge and confidently moves up to the Comm Panel.

Transmission Open To Coallition Fleets:

"This is Prince Sven of Elara , my father is in need of medical attention and he shall get that in Elara." "Overlord Zenn is now in control of the Imperial Forces here." "I will take the Fenrir back to the Empire where my father can rest and heal properly." "Continue the fight , we shall not fail!"

Transmission Ended.

With that the Fenrir then jumps out in a flash of light , headed home....

The Rest of the Imperial Fleet now under command of Overlord Zenn continues its courageous fight. This battle would be won...

Losses for the Imperial Fleet:

-The Osiris

-10 Elarian Transports

-1 Elarian Destroyer

Though sustaining minor damage the rest of the Imperial Fleet appears alright. Shielding has minor damage but is holding.

Five Magnian cruisers were blasted apart whole as their crews stood up to cheer. The mighty Elarans weren't invincible and destroying their Flagship was the biggest stroke of luck. The Magnians, growing extremely cocky, plunged forward, firing left and right, not coordinating their actions and leaving their flanks exposed.....

OOC: Magnian Fleet status:

• Traveller Station, minor shield damage (roughly 80% shield strength)
• Two Battleships, minor damage to both (roughly 45% shielding)
• Two hundred Heavy Cruisers, fifty destroyed, thirty damaged
• One thousand Fighters, three hundred destroyed

Overlord Zenn stood tall and walked to the front of the bridge. The ship vibrated a bit as incoming fire hit them. Zenn just laughed as he turns to give his orders in a deep growl like voice.

"Destroyers and Mwto'ar Class Frigates close in on their flanks." "Unleash hell once positions are reached , leave no ship intact!"

As he continues to bark orders he is met with strong responses of "Yes M'lord." and "Immediately Overlord!" This man was obviously respected.

As all the Imperial Vessels close in and encircle the Magnian Fleet , massive volleys of Plasma Torpedoes , Tracker Torpedoes , Fragmentation Torpedoes and Plasma Cannon Fire along with the continued attacks by Gentari and Detri Fighters unleash a blue fury upon the Magnian Fleet.

Aboard the Coalition vessels, a heavily encrypted message is picked up. Almost reluctantly, the Magnian vessels begin wheeling around. Several transports leave Traveller Station. The fighters fly close in to the Cruisers and together, the ships leave and fly off into the depths of space, their location unknown.....

But before the Coalition vessels could claim their prize, Traveller Station exploded in a massive conflagration. The release of energy, caused by antimatter, totally devastated the ecosystem of a nearby planet and rendered it totally uninhabitable.....

OOC: Magnian Fleet losses, total:

• Traveller Station
• One hundred and seven Heavy Cruisers
• Six hundred eighty nine Fighters

Overlord Zenn sneers as he watchs the Magnian Fleet fly away into the vast darkness of Space.

"Cowards , look as they scatter to the wind." "Come and face Warriors when you become Warriors you yellow bellied fools!"

Zenn turns and looks to his Officers.

"Ships form Vanguard Formation." "Fighters take up defensive patterns around the Imperial Fleet." "Fleet is to remain here until we speak to fellow Coallition Leaders and discuss where next to proceed." "Death Ceremonies will be conducted for those lost." "You have your orders , snap to it!"

Officers on the Bridge bow and salute then go about doing as they were ordered. The Imperial Fleet soon pulls into defensive Vanguard Formation and is halted. Overlord Zenn sits in the Command Chair of his ship , thinking of the battle that just took place.

Admiral Granger paced the length of the Constitution's bridge as the ship entered space near Traveller Station, which was empty. Also missing was the Osiris, the Elaran Flagship and the Magnian Fleet. The Sambizie and Letilan Fleets were also nearby. Granger nodded and a wideband channel was opened.

"Well, seems the Magnian Fleet on Magnia turned tail and ran. We got rid of the Sha'Ra 'psi warriors'. Magnia is free. Now someone tell me what's happened here." Granger paused as an aide handed over a sheet of paper. Unaware that the video feed was still going, Granger stood as she read the paper. "Dear sweet God..... The Adejaani capital....." Granger sat back down, put her head in her arms and started sobbing.

OOC: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2535324#2535324 :wink:

Transmission Opened:

"Admiral Granger , this is Overlord Zenn of the Imperial Fleet." "We lost a ten Transports , a Destroyer and the Osiris , Emperor Roland Meridius is alright though he is badly hurt he was taken back to Elara for medical assistance." "The Imperial Fleet is standing by..." "Are you alright Admiral...whats happening?..."

"Hang on....." Granger sniffled and blew her nose. Big fat tears rolled down her face as she clutched the new report. "Well that well settles it. Report in from Fleet intel: Magnian forces captured an independent freighter and loaded a large scale nuclear device aboard. Well, ladies and gentlemen..... That freighter plowed into the Adejaani capital half an hour ago. The entire capital..... The government..... My baby....." Granger slumped in her seat, the only sound were the beeps of the bridge consoles and her uncontrolled sobbing.

Silent angered and shocked faces were seen in every Imperial Vessel.

"No doubt my Commanders already know of this..." "You have our sympathies my friend." "We will head back to Siesana and await further orders." "To my Sambizie brethren , as the Emperor instructed , should you need us , just call we will answer."

Transmission Ended.

After all Elarian Fighters return to their Elarian Carriers the Imperial Fleet jumps out and back to Siesana.

The citizens of Sambizie lowered their flags to half mast in respect for the fallen, not only in Adejaani but within the Peacekeepers as well. And through this all..."Where is he", the people ask...Where is this man that we pledged our lifes to...to safeguard us from these times?

Special services are being arranged for in New Sambizie City, to honor the fallen in Adejaani....

OOC: So it's over all ready?

Transmission to the Letilan Fleet

The Sha'Ra are basically giant 'bugs' or spiders, depending on what you consider them. They're armored, have a hive mind..... Don't really know much more than that. They do consume their victims, though and they are tyrants who breed and spread like a plague.

OOC: Skim through the first two chapters, there is some very good SR background and ship specifications. Keep in mind that these are now somewhat outdated as this war has taken a few years and the SR have no doubt been improving technology.

Everyone else: The Sambizie are going to continue as planned. Though the fleet is aware of other occurances with Adejaani and the Peacekeepers, the Emperor is still with the Demon Fleet of the ShaRa. His vessel is out of communication range but will still meet the Siesana and the 4 new Dreadnought's.

OOC: Agreed, Samba. Bell hasn't said anything yet, but everyone's on "as is" duty. The Adejaani Fleet is at Siesana for refit and will ship out when the order's given. Granger's just upset, see, because her cousin is the Vice President and her little girl was in Tico City. :wink:

The question, Samba, is what's next on the agenda? :wink:

I'm going to have to read all that in one day! It will be hard. A few numbers would be helpful.

OOC: Well, thats just it..we never know the numbers until we are right on top of them. Remember, this is "foreign" space. Those who have been here the longest, have even only been here about 12 years, with major SR contact within in this sector. This is SR space...not ours..lol On a side note, SR I'm sure will post full stats when he's ready to battle.

IC: INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING--SAMBIZIE COMMAND

As it stands:
-We know there is a sizable SR Fleet located within Sector 187, (near Ironeia), consisting of 200+ various ships and classes.
-The deployment of the above fleet has "opened" a gap in the SR defence. (The civil unrest on Ironeia has also added to SR supply problems, not to mention the capture of Gh'Hari Station).
-The Sambizie Fleet has been ordered to meet the Emperor's Flagship within 1 LY of the SR Homeworld. These orders stand.

The Sambizie are confident that Seisana Defences will hold. With supply pouring in from Seisana, the Defence Platform, Shipyards, and other System Defences, we feel that we have enough military presence to deter the SR fleet near Ironeia. However, should we fail...The SR will have control of the only "hole" back to Sol.

On the other hand we have oppertunity on Ironeia. As you may recall, this was a SR industrial planet for "Banshee" fighters. It is evident that there are those on that planet willing to help. The problem is this: The SR fleet sits within almost equal distance of Siesana and Ironeia. We also know that SR reinforcements have been dispatched to Ironeia.

So in short, the Commanders of this Coalition Fleet will have to make a confidence call. Are you confident that Siesana will hold? Is the ShaRa fleet "holding" Ironeia or poising for attack against Siesana? Are you willing to risk the only way back to Sol...We are, that is why we will attack the Empire Directly. New Sambizie will not fall.

N|olélà: We have agreed to help you despite the lack of information you have on them. A lot of people are nervous, but we feel that if we don't deal with them now, they'll come back at us later.

I write this log to you because even now in your paradise, you are with me umongst the stars. I feel your presence, but saddens me that I no longer hear your words. Sitting here in my private quarters reminds me of the times I use to spend...no...sit with you and Utto'ar in the war room. I have left many things behind father, including my blood. But it troubles me most, that umongst the things I left behind was the Empire you and grandfather worked so hard to build. But trust me, I have left a good man and trusted allies to keep her well.

Private Log
The Sambizie Flagship has made another stop at another cloning colony. We have undertaken an additional 200,000 Marines and equipment. The Demon fleet had several Transports and munitions vessels in orbit when we arrived. Although I have been allowed to communicate with the "Cloners", it troubles me that I have been excluded from SR military communications. No matter, I'm sure they trust me as much as I trust them.

We will take on supplies at this planet until 2 more AP's arrive. I can't waite. Finally, Sambizie Blood...these "spiders" discust me...

O'Connor took his watch on the bridge of the Fleet's flagship. His com officer who had been watching re-runs of his favorite show from earth, almsot jumped when he got the hail. He read the heading: *For the High Marshall's eyes only*.

"Sir, this is for you", the Lieutenant handed the PADD to the Marshall
"Thank you Lieutenant" He read the transmission, his face went from tired to worried, and then sad. He put it down, and stared to the side, pensive in manner. Then turning back to the junior officer he replied,"Lieutenant, Take the bridge, If Admiral O'Connor says he will relieve you, tell him he has strict orders from me to head for the shaddows, he will know what I am talking about. Also, notify the nearest Bajoran convoy, tell them they have a passenger."
The lieutenant had served with the Marshall for a while, he knew him, and knew there was sometihng gravely wrong, but followed his orders silently.

In an hour the Bajorans came through the gate and a frieghter docked with the flagship, then departed, headed back to earth. The Lieutenant was startled when as predicted, the young Admiral O'Connor came out of the lift and onto the bridge.

"Err, sir, by orders of the High Marshall, you are not to take command of this vessel, and you are to 'head for ther shaddows', he said you would know what it meant sir."
The admiral got the same look his father got, and nodded.
"I understand, Lieutenant, how long have you served with my father?"
"8 years sir, I have been his comm officer for any ship he took command of, I see alot sir."
"Good then Lieutenant, I have a long over-due gift for you," The admiral walked to the Ships' Captain's ready room, and came back out, holding two silver eagles, Lieutenant, I hereby promote you to the rank of Captain, and you are to command this ship, furthermore, you are to be my aide. Now listen closely, I want you to transmit this type requency," The admiral started over to the sensor station, occupied by an ensign who was pushed aside as he jumped up to stand at attention, the Admiral ignored him. The admiral punched in a requency, then looked at the engish, then the other bridge officers who were no staring,"You are all dismissed, you too marines" he said to the two by the lift's dorway.
"Now Like I said, transmit this to these co-ordinates, Ill be in shuttle bay 3, do so on my signal"
"Yes sir"
The admiral hurried off, to the lift, and to the shuttle bay. The now, Captain, stood shocked, he looked at the Captain's char where the admiral had tossed the eagles, he stepped over and picked them up, pinning them to his shoulders, and removing the Lieutenants' bars.
Then the transmission came, the admiral gave his signal, so the Captain transmitted the beam. Over a dozen vessesl slowly came into view on the viewscreen. The Captain began to run to the tactical station across the bridge, but stopped. He saw a shuttle flying towards them, and docking with one. At cloer inspection the vessels held the marskings of the CLF space corps. The Com station beeped, a text transmission had come in, he walked back to his former station, read it.

Captain, these our the latest vessels,Shadow Blades I want you to wipe the transmission records, no one is to know the frequwency you transmitted, only your vessel can detect us, being the one who made the transmission. Semper Fi captain, be ready when I call on you again.

The 16 craft took off, and went out of view, cloaking again.

The Letilan fleet dropped out of hyperspace and stopped at Letila. The crew was anxious to take some time off.
Gk‡x'èmol: We have 3 day to rest before we face the biggest threat we've ever faced.
N|olélà: I hope those fighters are ready. I hear there are 20 new fighters, bringing up the total to 70 fighters.
Gk‡x'èmol: Don't worry so much about the war. You need to relax. We'll deal with it later. I'm going back home to see what's been going on.
*Gk‡x'èmol returns to home commune*
Gk‡mèmol: Hello, everyone. What's been going on since I left.
Nmámi: Nothing much. We've agreed not to take any actions until the people fighting returned unless we had a major problem. The ground troops are finished and now that the starship crewmembers are back for some rest, we think now would be a good time to discuss some issues that have been building up and such.

After months of sitting in Sector 187, the ShaRa grow hungry. The bulk of the Empire waites no longer…A giant ShaRa Elder sits on the bridge of the Command Ship. Reviewing all the data and providing logical answers for the problems, he looks up and yells, ”Tra’lveks!” The battle cry or “hunger pain” of the ShaRa. Within a matter of minutes, the fleet had received it orders and engaged into fluid space…
-------------------------------------+-------------------------

Siesana…
http://www.symmetrix.ch/Public/Sallow/Babylon5/shad03.jpg
97 vessels of the combined 1st and 2nd War Fleets emerge within Siesana space firing. The sparatic fire targets mainly turrets and the Sambizie/Adejaani Platform, while missiles and torpedoes target the Siesana Moonbase and planet surface. Full salvos from each ship speed towards their target just seconds from impact. The ships also seem to be on collision course with each of the targets…

During the first few seconds of the emergence, the ShaRa Elder yelled, “Jufo’lk phg”, or “WAKE THEM!”

GhHari Station…
Emerging from the gas giant, the ShaRa Death Spiders come to life for the first time since the Siesana occupation. These were not like the other black vessels of the ShaRa, these looked more…well, determined.
http://www.tp2b.de/babylon_project/TN_2260_shadow_cooking.jpg
The 52 Death spiders make their climb from the planet and clear the asteroid belt just as an additional 35 vessels from the 1st and 2nd War Fleets complete their jump at GhHari. The vessels begin to open fire on the mining stations launch bays and minimal defenses…

Ironeia…
The failed attempt by the ShaRa, to lure Coalition Forces into a ground campaign by staging a revolt proved to be even more profitable for the Empire than originally planned. As 48 ShaRa vessels complete their jump at Ironeia, thousands of newly manufactured fighters stream upwards into space…

Due to the timing, and flawlessness of the assaults on; Siesana, Ironeia, GhHari, moon base and the platform, it couldn’t of been noticed that the larger warships have entered a wormhole at the rear of the fleet.

In orbit above Siesana, Admiral Jain Granger sipped at her carrot juice as she read the latest update reports. As part of her nation's reconstruction, the military was being restructured. Hence, in addition to being Joint Commander, Adejaani Space Fleet, she was also Joint Commander, Adejaani Space Forces. Apart from some Destroyers and Cruisers operated by the Adejaani National Defense Guard, every facility, ship and small craft (including fighters), was now under her command and administration.

At least, Granger silently thought to herself, the added paycheck was welcome. Even as she read the report on the relocation of the Space Academies to Siesana, she noted the whine of the engines and the barely perceptible rumble of the Constitution powering up.

"Report!" Granger yelled twice before she got some attention. Commodore Graham was barking orders left and right. He only had time to grab an officer, propel him to Granger whilst pointing at a situation board. Granger nodded and left him alone. She didn't have the information yet, so trying to take charge could cost lives at this point.

"Holy-" WHAM! A heavy torpedo strike impacted heavily against the Constitution. The Adejaani Fleet had been caught completely unawares and the four Destroyers in the thick of it were sacrificial lambs, trying to blunt the oncoming Sha'Ra attack while the rest of the Adejaani Fleet mustered.

"Protect the shipyards, dammit!" Granger yelled, taking over command from Graham. "Whichever ship gets close, make sure if they get through, they're a flaming wreck! Ships we can repair and build more of, shipyards we can't do so, so easily."

Out in space, Adejaani battlewagons, carriers and fighters shot forward, determined to hold the line or literally die trying. Brave pilots plowed into the flight paths of missiles and torpedoes, destroying some while anti missile defenses destroyed some others.

Granger nodded approval. Once again, Adejaani forces were quick off the mark, first to respond and the first to law down their lives in battle. But if the others didn't respond quickly, this battle will end in total annihilation..... And it wasn't the Sha'Ra that would be sent packing.....

OOC: Losses:

• 4x Sambizie Destroyers (This is the force noted in the fourth paragraph. SR, when you post again, they'll be destroyed properly)
• 32x Fighters

”Son of B****!” the watch commander stated as a SR torpedo hit the hull of the station, knocking some from their seats. “Red Alert…Red Alert”, he shouted. The Ops. Crew began barking out status reports from all over the station, but the welcome news was “Shields at 98% and holding” a crewman yelled. The Commander began to shout and point people in various directions, “Free Fire all weapons”, he shouted. Within seconds, massive panels began to open all over the station. The barrels of cannons peeked out and began firing, some manually and some automated, as personell have yet to report to their stations. The torpedo bays opened and launched a flurry of homing torpedoes, but due to the massive presence of ShaRa vessels, they were not guarnteed to strike their intended targets.

Seconds after the the first impact, the Siesana Moon Base launched all fighters. Streams of SA-43’s and anything else that could fire a missile was space born. The squadrons engage and try and form a defensive position around the station, but this was pointless. The chaos that was created was more than what they expected. “How the hell did they get so close?, the Commander shouted…”I thought we were watching them”, he added. “Sir…we were, one minute they were in sector 187…the next, they were here”, a crewman replied. “S**t, The Emperor is gonna have my head”, the Commander yelled. “Route primary power to the battle bridge!”
AYE SIR…what about the shipyards?
“Perhaps you don’t notice the burning ships…” “Prepare for separation”
AYE SIR…

Just then several more squadrons of SA-43’s and other various vessels break the atmosphere of Siesana. Streaking alongside the fighter groups, massive beams of hot radiation streem into space, presumably from the Anti-Ortillery Cannons located in New Sambizie. A JFK Class climbs over the planet and begins to launch it’s fighters and munitions. Just as the vessel becomes visible, it was isolated by SR. After a few minutes, a blinding light and flash concluded that the SCVN was a loss. The ship was split in two, and while one piece began to plummet to the Siesana surface, the other piece managed to fire a few more torpedoes before fragmenting in space.

The coms channels instantly became cluttered with the hundreds of voices callin for assistance. “I want status reports”, the Commander yelled. But one only needed to look out the window to see the fields of burning debris. On the planet surface, the military has been placed on full alert along with the mecha divisions. The citizens pour into the shelters and “raid” sirens fill the once peaceful air. Throughout the city, ortillery from SR vessels impact all over the planet. It was a very violent scene…

LOSSES:
1x JFK SCVN
150x SA-43
6x Sambizie DE’s (docked)
Civilians: Unknown (estimated: 1200+)

OOC: SR-I will defend Siesana as I only have fighter contingents on the moon base and planet surface. I will also defend with the platform. The majority of the fleet is enroute to the Empire and I only have a few warships in the area.

The CLF fleet had been moved closer to the gate due to actions with CLF Boarder Guard fleet vessels, as soon as the com channels opened, they tunred around and readied to engage.

"Launch all fighters, RED ALERT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!" Corps Admiral Welsh yelled on the comm as her orders were followed. "Bring all vessels around, Whiskey formation! Ready all topedo bays! Stand by with the 2-tones. I want every fighter and/or bomber scrambled as soon as we take fire. We need to get in there!

The ships took thier positions and began foward on ful limpulse, it would be less than a minute before they entered range. The battle frigates formed the outter barrier of the Formation, looking like a wedge. With the Command Frigates in the inner shape, and the O'Connor in the middle. Fighter and Bomber Pilots scrambled to thier ships, readying themselves for the fight.

Albrecht knew that this battle could mean the loss of thier foothold, so there was no need to keep the Marines in reserve. She gave her orders.

"I want every single Hulk XIX landing craft to unlad thier cargo on the planet, have them set up batteries and ready for defense. Then get those ships back up here, they have Plasma cannons dont they?!"

The order was filed and the drop ships made thier decent. Hulk XIX's were huge vessels that had a brige, and engine room, and the rest was a large, multi level cargo bay, filled with marines. They were heavyily armored because they were not fast, and had multiple Plasma turrets

"Whatever we paid for those little Sambizie class Destroyers, it ain't enough! We need more of them!" Granger smiled as Graham called out over the intercom as he reefed his fighter in orbit around Siesana. He was right. The little Destroyers were flying back and forth, plugging gaps and giving back twice what they received. In overall terms, they were doing far better than their larger brethren.

[OOC: I made a slight error. The most senior Pilot is named Graham. The Commanding Officer of the Constitution is Commodore Nichols.]

"Boss." Nichols waved Granger over. "Station shields are weakening a bit. Since we've got four Elara class transports docked with it. While they've still got their complement of Marines and their equipment, we can ditch the equipment and get about ten thousand people into each ship."

"Do so." Granger stared at the monitors. The big New Genoa class Dreadnought in the center of the formation kept firing big blue bolts at the Sha'Ra ships. Bigger than anything else in the vicinity (the Dreadnought was wider than Granger's own Constitution was long!), it had the firepower of a small Fleet by itself, including a complement of three hundred fighters.

But big ships meant big targets and she kept absorbing missile hits. Though the armor was thick, it could not last forever. Granger watched, horrified, as the ship, the Alliance, exploded, catching about fifty fighters, a Cruiser and two Destroyers unlucky enough to not be out of range. Twelve thousand people, just snuffed out in the blink of an eye.

Clearing her throat, Granger ordered a squadron of Cruisers to plug the hole, wondering when the Sha'Ra attack would falter.

Corps Admiral Albrecht opened a channel to the Constitution...

Admiral Granger, this is Corps Admiral Albrecht, I command the CLF fleet here now, we are 30 seconds from firing range and in a wedge formation, where do you need a hole broken in the enemy lines, because when we hit, they will part like a butter on a hot knife...

The Admiral was not being cocky, she was correct, 136 vessels were in a perfect wedge formation, and fighters could be luanched in seconds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Admiral had ordered, the CLF Drop groups landed on the planets surface, unloading thier cargo, 96,000 CLF Space marines, 6 Divisions, fully equipped, they knew that it was possible the planet's surface could be compromised, they were going to make sure they won that front if it came to it. The Hulk XIX landing craft slowly unloaded the masses of men, and were ready to return to the fleet, and lend thier heavy armor and plasma cannons as fighter magnets.

Granger paused at the interruption, during which yet another Sha'Ra ship found its mark and blasted a hole in a Cruiser. Swatting the smoke and smell of burning electronics and insulation from her face, she crossed to the Communications Console and opened a channel herself.

"Admiral Albrecht, negative, repeat, negative. If we opened a hole in the lines now for you to come in, we may not be able to close it again. Recommend deceleration from FTL and approach at usual battle speeds. The best you can do is to split your force to relieve Adejaani and Sambizie forces on the verge of collapse and crush the Sha'Ra forces in a large flanking/encirclement movement."

*The Letilans are ready to battle and the fleet is on the way*

OOC: I wasnt talking about making a hole in our lines, im talking about punching a hole in the ShaRa lines.

Anyways...My post got eaten. Heres a summary:

My Drop groups unloaded on the planets surface and the 96,000 marines are digging in. The Heavy Hulk Craft will come back up, Albrecht eluded to a 'special plan' for them

Due to the requests of its allies the Dorman alliance, Neues Reichs Alliance, is sending a combined fleet, 1st, 7th, 3rd, tgo defend the GhHari Space station. It is manned by Dorman and Sudean security and science officals. The fleet will come through the Siesana Wormhole. The allied fleet will not be directly involved in the comming battles, it will remain behin the main Sambize/Adejaani Defence platform. The allied fleet is there just to maintain peace in the GZNRII system.

OOC: LF, I understood what you're talking about, but Granger's sorta like a bit harried, you know? :wink:

Also, could everyone please not post anything more ICly until Sha'Ra can respond, please.

OOC: Tactical Deployment: for the most part, here are the SR losses in the combat areas. Vessels currently in the area will continue as planned and have been instructed to "hold" the lines. In essence, the ships that have NOT been moved, will repeate the initial attack...

-Siesana-
The smaller ships on the Siesana assult have taken a pounding from the coalition vessels, defence platform, and anti-ortillery fire.

5x Scouts
5x Destroyer Escorts
and an estimated 140x Banshee Fighters have been either destroyed or deemed combat ineffective or adrift.

To the rear of the lines, Battle Escorts of the 1st and 2nd War Fleet have prepared and launched a gound invasion. (LF: I need to know where exactly your forces have landed on Siesana). The first wave of troops will be landing shortly, (as soon as LF positions are confirmed).

Also, at the rear of the War Fleets, *secrete rp*:
30x SR Cruisers
8x SR Heavy Drednaughts
3x SR Carriers
2x SR Battle Escorts
and 10x SR Battleships, have cleared Siesana Space to a classified location. (On my next turn...they will have completed their "jump" and the location will be declassified at that time).
Some "heavy ships" of the SR Fleet continue to return fire and are holding position near Siesana. Smaller fleet ships and fighters are engaged in front line activities targeting mainly the defence platform and Siesana Wormhole, (Dormie vessels have entered).

-Ironeia-
The Ironiea Fleets will begin to "spill" over to the GhHari and Siesana fronts momentarly. The Emperor dispatched re-inforcements are within 2LY's of the Ironiea Sector:
6x Heavy Drednaughts
10x Destroyers
5x Battleships, and 2x Carriers have been dispatched to "each" of the fronts, (GhHari and Siesana). The planet of Ironeia is declared "Occupied" by the SR Empire.

-GhHari-
The Death Spiders continue to pound the GhHari Station. Due to it's limited defence capabilities and "non-present", Coalition counter attack, the GhHari Station will suffer an non-recoverable orbit decay within 4 hours. By our estimates, the damanged station will reach the outter rim of the GhHari asteroid field within 4 hours.
15x Death Spiders will spill over to the Siesana front momentarly. When the Ironeia fleets arrive, the remainder of the Death Spiders will accompany the fleet to the Siesana Front.
37x Death Spiders will continue the assult on the GhHari Station and will "hold" position until the "Dormie" fleets arrive.

Dormie: How many vessels are in your group and please list any "special" weapons etc...).

I hope that's everything..If I missed an attack by anyone let me know..lol

OOC: Alright. Dormie's got Gh'Hari pretty well defended, but the Allied Fleet is lacking at Ironea. Letila, get to Ironea and hit the Sha'Ra hard. LF will stay with me and Sambizie to defend Siesana, then we'll throw whatever's left at Ironea and Gh'Hari for mop-up.

IC: Granger looked at the incoming reports. "Forget docking the Marine transports. Tell them to land the Marines on planet. That'll give us almost a hundred thousand Marines. They'll need time to get set up, though. Our Transports are too small to handle that many. Need a redesign soon....."

Nichols nodded. "We're taking a beating, but we can keep the Sha'Ra back from here. We'll hold this line. Tell the Liberty Fighters Fleet to come in and do their work, but tell them we also need some relief, we got a lot of ships over Siesana that are venting atmosphere."

OOC: Total Adejaani losses so far

• 1x Dreadnought (1x remaining)
• 0x Carrier (7x remaining)
• 3x Cruiser (18x remaining)
• 11x Destroyer (30x remaining)
• Approx 160x Fighter (Approx 1000+ remaining)

OOC: Just for Refrence here are my numbers

x1 Flagship: Battle-Carrier

x9 Command Battle-Frigates

x9 SSS Vessels

x135 Batle-Frigates

x48 Hulk XIX Heavy Lifters

x1884 Fighter/Bombers

-My Marines will be deployed at the major space ports, population areas, and manufacutring targets, so Samb, if you could provide me with a list...


IC: Albrecht quickly analyzed the battle read-outs and took action...

"Coms! Tell Admiral Romano to take his Corps and patch the holes in the lines near the planets, and also he has full command of the SSS vessels, I want as many of our allies vessels in operation as long as possible, if that means repairing them right there on the front, then do it. I have every faith in him, send that." She looked around and touched a key on her arm rest of the command chair.
"All ships, re-form to fill the holes of Romano's ships, and then brace for impact, launch fighters as soon as Romano's boys are clear. 2-toneso n stand-by, we will hit hard, strong, and fast, they won't be able to counter, lets keep that promise. Semper Fi!"

The ships did as they ordered. The Fighter/Bomber pilots sat in thier cock-pits, preparing themselves to blast some bugs.

Mwto’ar stands tall on the bridge of the Sambizie Flagship, a place where Mwto’ar has called home for the past 9 months. There is a determined look in his face as he stares at the forward view screen. There has been no “stars” for Mwto’ar, even the blackest and coldest of space will soon be welcomed. His eyes widen as the last of the Sambizie Capitol Class LV’s, Drednaught’s, and Battleships pull within view. Soon, the Empire in it’s fullest will deliver a fatal blow to the ShaRa.

As Mwto’ar stares at the ShaRa Demon Vessels, alongside his own, he can only hope that their word is as strong as first perceived. Mwto’ar looks at his wrist and takes note of “actual” time. He picks up a pad and begins writing an address to the crew, for time is running out. In a moment, he thought of what he was going to say about the upcoming battle…or the occurences within the Peacekeepers in the far sight. As he began to write, he began to think. You see, there is no need for glorious battle speeches, no uplifting moral support, or a definition of the tasks ahead. The crew knew what to do, and were focused on doing it. They have prepared for this day since the first Sambizie vessel entered GZNRII Space. The Sambizie needed only fight the ShaRa but a handful of times, to understand “their” ways.

Mwto’ar turns to the Commander, “The time has come, signal the Demon Lord”, he states. The Commander bowed his head slowly, “For Mwto’ar”, he replied…
RED ALERT…Prepare Battle Stations…Incursion: T minus 3 Minutes.

Mwto’ar returned to his seat and strapped himself in as spacial incursions tend to be quit a jolt on the vessel. After communicating with the ShaRa Demon Lord, the stage has been set and the “true” test is yet to come….

----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Siesana…

Literally, thousands of spacial anomalies of various shapes, sizes, and intensities occur within Siesana Space simontaniuosly. As squadrons of SA-43 scream out of the smaller “rifts”, The Sambizie Warships emerge. To the left and right flanks of the command vessels, Battle Carriers, Destroyers, Destroyer Escorts, Corvettes and heavy Frigets, emerge firing. In the center, the Sambizie Flagship, Heavy Dreadnaught’s, Battleships, and Capital LV’s. To the rear, supply, and other various transports.

All around the ShaRa line, the Sambizie ships emerge just meters of the hulls of the SR vessels. Fully charged cannons fire as vollies of torpedoes launch in unison. The path of the war ships will allow one decisive strike before having to turn about. To the rear, the LV’s make their slow decent to the Siesana Surface, as the “Roland’s” pound the surface of the planet on top of SR positions.

Fleet Stats:

16x Sambizie Class Heavy Drednaughts
21x Roland Class DDG
15x Sambizie DE
10x JFK Class SCVN
5x Constitution Class Battle SCVN
5x McArthur Class Heavy SCVN
5x Isenhower Class Battleships
3x Malroix Class Corvettes
12x Tellioux Class Missile/Defence Frigets
15x Heavy Supply Vessels (Tellious Class)
8x Demon Class Heavy Landing Vessels

OOC: Adejaani City One ("AC1" for short) is the only Adejaani asset on Siesana, apart from Adejaani nationals working in the various aerorspace factories or as liaisons to Sambizie. Don't forget Adejaani owns a sizeable percentage of the Aerospace manufacturing assets on or above Siesana.

AC1 is home to about two million citizens. The Adejaani Marines have deployed about forty-eight thousand in a sort of "ring" envelopment around the city. The majority of citizens are currently cowering in bunkers and in the event of a "swarm" invasion, the Marines and police forces have standing orders to protect the civilians long enough for them to board transports which are ordered to carry them off planet and through the wormhole, if the situation is bad enough.

The remaining forty-eight thousand Adejaani Marines are deployed to protect Sambizie assets.

"When the past becomes present"...

In the darkness of space, those who were abandoned by the Empire have returned. Like the Zoarg, with vengence in their minds and the lust of battle, The Demons emerge....

As the Sambizie tear through the Siesana lines laid forth by the Emperor, the Demons strike. As they come from "transitional" space, their signatures are registerd by the GhHari "Death Spiders". Cheers sound throughout the fleet as the Emperor's reinforcements have arrived...or so they thought. A wounded "Spider" vessel attempts to dock with the Demon Warship, only to be desenigrated by the forward weapons array. The demons can only watch as the GhHari Station starts to break apart within the GhHari asteroid belt. The "Spiders" have done their job but must now deal with the Demons who lie before them....
----------------------------------+-------------------------
OOC: OK, FYI: The Demon Fleet of The ShaRa is allied with Sambizie. This is basically an intro post and will probally not be used again in this war. Just needed something to "tie" in for later.

Background:

The Demon Fleet was abandoned more or less by the SR Empire. As some of you may recall, massisve SR fleets fled GZNRII after the first Coalition insurgance. The wormhole, (which is now destroyed) was the only passage between the Empires "most" forward Fleets, (the Demons), and the SR Homeworld. When the Emperor gave the word to destroy the GhHari Wormhole, he in essence left the Demons trapped within the GZNRII System, (this is why there has been minimal conflicts with the SR).

As the Demons avoided confrontations with the Coalition, they kept their presence known only to previously conqured SR "colonies", which several are in GZNRII. They continued trade and manufacturing all in the name of the Empire. The Demons were not aware that the Emperor was sending reinforcements, mainly to take back SR colonies, and locate the Demons.

Though the bulk of the "official" military abord Demon ships has been disolved some 20 years ago, the scientist and non-combatants formed a new leadership...free of the Empire. The Demons ultimately continued to "explore" space and form alliances, including those with the Sambizie and Zoarg Empires. They have adapted new policies, procedures, and mindsets. The Demons view the ShaRa Empire with as much discust as the Coalition does. However, they will avoid at all cost, contact with the SR Empire...for now.

When the Adejaani vessel "disrupted" the GhHari wormhole, the Emperors resupply vessels were forced out of the wormhole and arrived in normal space some 20 LY's from GhHari. Needless to say, these vessels were aquisitioned by the Demons.

Demon Fleet:
1x Flagship (SR Drednaught)
2x Destroyers
4x Scoutships
2x Carriers
1x Battleships
8x Heavy Supply ships
8x SR Maintanance/ supply ships
8x Heavy Armoury Vessels
4x Light Landing ships (Minimal armoured Div. and transports)
2x EW/Comms. Ships
250x Banshee Fighters
10x Achba Class Longrange Recon vessels.
25,000x Combat Volunteers.

SR: Please state where your troops are landing on Siesana as the Sambizie can deploy...also LOSSES :lol: I hope we didn't lose anyone with this RP...If so, just ask for clarafication..lol

OOC: The Letilan fleet is heading for Ironea
There is 1 Triumphant class battleship, 7 cruisers, 14 frigates, and 50 fighters. Yes, it's skewed, but we got the BS at a good price. Please note that the ships have gigawatt+ level weapons, so the low number is deceptive.

Siesana...

Seconds before the Sambizie incurision into Siesana Space, the fleet detected the spacial anomolies as being SR. The front line caught completely by suprise, did not have time to turn away from the other coalition vessels, nor could they advance due to the debris field that seperated them from the Sambizie Defence Platform. Thousands of life pods from the destroyed Sambizie SCVN and those of SR fighters and ships, litter space. Massive hulls float smoking and decend towards the planet surface. The order has been given to fall back towards the heavy vessels and provide ortillery and escort for the Invasion Fleet.

To the rear of the lines of the fleet, ShaRa landing ships, dropships, fighters, shuttles, and anything else that can carry troops to the surface, stream towards the planet. Within minutes, the ShaRa-150,000 strong will make the initial invasion of Siesana. Emperor re-inforcements from Ironeia will add an additional 100,000 legions when they arrive, (1/2 LY away). 25,000 legions have been dropped 20 miles from AC1. An additional 25,000 to AC2. 50,000 have been deployed to the west of New Sambizie approx. 50 miles out, (in the desert). The remaining 50,000 have been deployed to the East of New Sambizie. Fighters and bombers begin "close" air support and will try and maintain a safe passage of 2-3 miles of all the advancing troops...

SIESANA LOSSES:
5x Scouts
1x Destroyer
1x Cruiser

GhHari...

The "Spiders" stunned at the actions of their Demon Fleet, retrete towards Siesana but they must first deal with the Dormie Fleet. The GhHari Station and all it's inhabitants are presumed dead. The station's orbit has decayed so that the asteroids begin to pound against the hulls, ripping huge holes and exposing various decks. It would seem that within 1/2 hour, the station will be a victim of the gas giant GhHari, no thanks to the Death Spiders.
(OOC: As Sambizie can't RP the Demons, they will engage the Dormie Fleet. GhHari Station is an agreed loss)

GHHARI LOSSES:
1x Death Spider

Ironeia...

The Emperor's reinforcements have arrived at Ironeia. The various vessels of the 1st and 2nd War Fleets have now departed for Siesana. The Emperor's Reinforcements include:
3x Battleships
2x Carriers
4x Destroyers
4x Cruisers
*secret* 1x ShaRa Mother Ship

With the exception of the presence of a ShaRa Mother Ship, it can be estimated that the entire Sectorial Command of GZNRII is accounted for.

IRONEIA LOSSES:
-none-
---------------------------------+---------------------
Meanwhile...
The ShaRa Fleet has completed it's jump. They are now inroute to the third planet of Sol. ETA: 25 min.

OOC: Sha'Ra, there is no AC2. There was planned to be, but it never got started. AC1 is the only Adejaani settlement there, see a few posts up.....

IC: "They're pulling back....." Granger murmured.

"Ground troops." Nichols beside her noted, pointing at the ground invasion craft on the displays. "They'll probably bombard the planet next with their heavy ships."

Granger agreed. "Order all ships to counterattack. Try and stop as many incoming fighters and transports as you can. Tell our troops on the ground what's coming, but we have our hands full." There were nods and Granger moved closer to Nichols and lowered her voice. "Nicky, if they ortillery AC1, they'd have to raise their energy shielding. We couldn't evacuate, meaning we have to stop the ground onslaught or we lose a lot of people down there....."

OOC: Sorry about that Adejaani. All 50,000 will be dropped near AC1 then :twisted: lol. Does anyone know where Elara has colonies...other than in New Sambizie?

OOC: The Letilan ships open fire on ShaRa vessels.

I like big butts!

http://www.sulucas.com/images/steatopygia.jpg

As the final glimps of light from the Siesana sun touches the sands of New Sambizie desert, it is clear that the ShaRa will attack with the morning sun behind them. As the total blackness gathers above, it's "lights out" for the city. All non-military air traffic has been ordered grounded. Throughout the city, Sambizie citizens crowd their way into bunkers, basements, and anything else they fell secure in. Tonight the children of Sambizie fall asleep to the to the footsteps of the Infiltrator's, which flow to the front line by the thousands. Every now and then, the roling thunder of mobil artillery and armour break the pattern.

One half mile from the front, Mwto'ars closest, loyalist friend and General Commander stands firm on a dune of sand looking into the distance with his NVG's. Accompanied only by other high ranking officials and the crew of his dropship which sits 15 yards away. General Commander, Ulysis M. Pride, slowly pulls his "awarded" blade and without even looking, drives it deep through the spine of a desert scorpion about to stike his foot. He raise his goggles and spits in the direction of the soon to be oncoming SR Legions. With a wave of his hand, the group pile back into the dropship and head towards the walls of New Sambizie, which were now overflowed with Sambizie Legion Marines.

New Sambizie begins to shake as the artillery commence on pounding the desert. No one is for certain where the shells land, but it is for certain that the shells impact as the "report" reaches the lines moments later.Fighters stand prepped on the surface as well as the Moonbase above. Although the SR Legions have air support this time, the Sambizie are certain that it no match for the SA-43's, which were bred for this enviroment. This time unlike last, the SA-43's won't be sucking in dust when the ortillery starts.

Louder and louder the decks of the carriers become as the final stages before launch are completed. Comm. chanels become secured and the fighters tear out of their "holds" like lightning. On the surface it's no different as the low level bombers and interceptors rip down the runways. In the city, the citizens and troops hear the blaring sound of sirens, a reminder that it is now "T" minus zero hundred hours. The troops begin to rally and moral is high as the General graces the front with a flyby. It is apparent, the Sambizie will not waite and soon the collision of over 100,000 men and alien alike, will "clash" at the next rising sun.

The General's speech was short as the men couldn't be any more motivated or determined. But the message was clear; "Sambizie WILL Hold!"...
