He was a cold, stern man in appearance, a gaunt, ashen face projecting an air of militant severity. His attire certainly bolstered this image, a grey military issue overcoat hid a powerful frame, a small, worn hammer and sickle the only decoration on the coat. Pitch black boots resting flat on the metal plating beneath him. The officer sat before an array of blinking lights and shimmering displays, an orchestra of warbles and beeps sounding in the background, keeping him always aware of what was happening around him.

Even so this was a bit overwhelming for him. Adjusting the black rim of his officers cap, he took a deep breath of the filtered, re-used air. He was making history, quite literally. This was the U.S.S.B.'s first manned flight capable of traveling outside the planet's moon. When he returned to Bergist he would likely be lauded as a national hero. Well, him and the three others seated behind him in the tube-like structure. While he sat staring forward out the viewport before him, they sat two to the left and one to the right, facing toward the walls and monitoring their respective tasks. Not a word was spoken, only lending to the commander's day dreaming. Yet suddenly this revry was broken, as an alarm klaxxon sounded and Major Demmings pivoted in his seat to face the commanders back.

"Sir, unidentified crafts appearing from behind one of the moons of the fifth planet. They're on an intercept course."

"How many of them, Demmings?"

"I'm getting five energy signatures, all powering weapons."

The commander's ghostly visage showed not even a flicker of emotion, just a soft muttered, "Damn..." Their ship, the U.B.S. Traveler, was sent into space nearly unarmed. But with good reason. Bergist had only achieved space travel within the past few decades and, though it had made it a priority, space weaponry had yet to be fully developed. What they had was a handful of toothpicks to throw at a tank of a ship. Five of them no less.

It was then that the first blasts from the enemy weaponary rocked the shuttle, tearing deep rifts in the thick metal hull. "Target the nearest ship. Attack patern alpha, execute on my command..."

Demmings wavering voice answered with uncertainty. "Attack? We have no-"

"Now!" The ship spiralled towards the enemy as Colonel Mckay send out a distress call on all frequencies.

"To any and all ships in range of this message, we are under attack, we require immediate assistance."

A massive scavenger ship drifts lazily through space, scanning various frequencies for signs for whatever random chatter they might eves drop on. There were only three men on board, all gaudily dressed, adorned with only the finest jewelry. Though this life didn't seem to suit them, it was an excellent way to come across a profit. And that was their goal, no rather their life. It was the life of all who lived among the Greater Brokers, the pursuit of money. Because all know money means happiness.

"Jake, we got somethin'."

"Anything worth going after?" Jake was the closest thing they had to a leader, although really they weren't much more than a bunch of old drinking buddies.

"Distress call being broadcast on all frequencies...its not a ship I recognize either...looks new."

Jake nodded slowly, a slight smirk crossing over this thin face. "Eh, why the hell not, lets see if we can't get in close by one of those moons and stay hidden until the baddies go away. Then we'll grab whatevers left."

The scavenger ship plotted a course without another word passed between the three. The C.S.S. Acquisitioner is now hidden behind the moon of the nearest planet.

"Damage report."

The U.B.S. Traveler shuddered with another glancing blow for the enemy ships.

Demmings looked up from his display with only the slightest flicker of fear. "Sir, they have disabled our starboard weapon array. Heavy damage to the starboard and dorsal plating. Hull integrity is down to 63%, main batteries are at 73%."

"Evasive action, we can't lead them to Bergist...take us away from the planet." A resolute look passed between the crew members and they started about their tasks.

The distress call continued on out into the far reaches of space, a desperate plea to any who would listen.

OOC: No takers? heh heh

bump

ooc: Is this happening in the Sol system by any chance?

(Hey can i join in in your rp ? btw i want to ask before i jump in bacuse that will prevent me form being ignored)

The DESC Nightclaw a Tigerclaw class Destroyer exited hyperspace, "Calling the U.B.S. Traveler this is the DESC Nightclaw we recived your distress calland moveing in" a Voice boombed over the Comm system.

the Nightclaw opened fire with its heavy Plasma Bolters tearing into one of the attacking ships Rear Hull.
2 Fussion Torpedos were fired at one of the attacking ships it avoided one of them but the other slamed into it leave a rather large whole in its side.
the nightclaw was moveing to block the U.B.S. from the Unknown attackers still shooting away with its Plasma cannons and other such weapons.

OOC: what class are the attacking ships????

ooc: Attack ships are of an unknown class, prolly about the size of your average frigate but better armed.

ic:

Thick black smoke began to fill the command center of the Traveler, urgent red lights flashing through the haze. Most of the alarm klaxxons had ceased sounding but only because they had cut power to everything but the necessities. Another blast rocked the tiny ship just as the comm crackled to life. "Call...S. Traveler this is....claw...received your distress call...moving in..." Reconstructing the entirety of the message, Colonel McKay swiveled in her chair, about to relay it back to the commander, just as the console before her exploded in a sea of sparks and fire. Literally blown backwards onto the floor, Dr. Kern, the ships medic, rushed to her side.

Knowing he had little time to check on his fallen comrade, he looked back to Demmings who gave him a grave nod. Turning back to the viewport, he watched the DESC Nightclaw take position between them and the enemy ships. "We may make it out of this yet..."

"commander if we send out the fighters we could bring in that ship" a tac officer sead
"do it get Ravan Squad to cover Wraith Squad" he sead

fighters came out of the ship moveing round the U.B.S. Traveler fireing grapple hooks at it.

the Destroyer targeted one of the Unknowns Engines fireing away all you could see was one minute there was a ship the next there was half of a ship.

"sir they seem to be some sort of Frigate but there slightly better armored" a officer sead
"mmmm.....weres our sister ship DESC Soul" the capitan asked
"about 5 minutes away sir shall i call her in" the comm officer asked
"ye do it" he replyed "and carry on fireing dam it"

the ship carryed on fireing at the Unknowns, while bringing in the UBS traveler into the docking bays.

Colonel Mckay lay shuddering in the corner, Kern crouched over her attempting to bandage the grievous burns that covered much of her body. Demmings sat obediantly at his console, face blackened with ash and smoke, attempting to reroute what little power was left to strengthen hull integrity which now waivered at just a bit over 20%. Several emergency support struts had been set in place along the starboard hull, metal beams with floor clamps to keep the superstructure from imploding.

As the grappling hooks of the Nightclaws fighters gripped the hull of the Traveler, the commander breathed a soft sigh of relief. Standing from his position at the fore of the bridge, he moved to the communication station, or rather what was left of it. After a moment of rerouting various circuits he called to Demmings, "Patch me through to the Nightclaw."

The ship seemed to groan as power was drained from elsewhere to stabilize the comm and set up a hail.

"This is U.S.S.B. Commander James Hawthorne of the U.B.S. Traveler. We thank you for your aid. One of our officers was badly wounded and will require immediate medical attention docking with your ship. You truly have saved our lives..."

a Fleet of Alien Ships Appear out of space, coming back into realspace. 5 Battleships, each armed with 10 Missle Launchers with spaceship armor piercing, so when the missle would go in, it would blow up inside. And each had 10 Laser Turrets. The Approached in a Triangle Formation, The Captian Raziel DarkScythe of the Lead ship, looked at the screen with a cold stare, as he traces his fingers towards the Unknowns, His Ships were called the Demonix Class : Three Demonix go to Aid the Ships under attack, attack code Red, Fire At will" As the three ships pull away, and began targeting the missle. As a barrage of 15 missle are let loose, The attacking ships then use there Laser Turrets after the missles to start peppering the Unknows. Raziel Picks up the Communication Unit, he spoke in English : DESC NIGHTCLAW this is the DED Rauun, we have began attack: He shut off the comm, with a smile as he watched the battle...

Five Mark II Imperial Star Destroyers appear and open fire with all turrents targeting the GB ships.......

:? Hmmm the Capitan said confusingly .. man i never met any one who dosient know what it is well any way its an alliance of several nations (like the UFP) committed to space travel

Jake sat in the command chair lazily admiring his own gold ring, a fine piece of jewelry taken off the hand of some old, long dead relative. When he was younger he had questioned his own morals about stealing from his own family. So much so that he had even gone to the local religious office about it. After taking a rather large donation for the "church", the priest quickly assured him that you could not steal from the dead. Acquisitioning was acceptable in anyway possible. This was, of course, the ideology of most who lived in the Community. And so with this in mind he had set off on a life to make his family proud.

He was suddenly shaken (literally) from his revry as the C.S.S. Acquisitioner was pounded with several blasts from the imperial destroyers. The lighting flickered briefly and then powered back on, a soft warm sound the only identification of a problem. Looking back on it, Jake was quite glad they had removed that horrible, harsh sound alarm and replaced it with this. It was much nicer to the ear. Even so he started up in his seat, looking back to Quion, on scanners.

"What the hell was that?"

"Five ships targetting us. All well-armed. Good purchase on the shields by the way. Anything less and we might have been gone. I'm rerouting power to them as we speak."

"This isn't worth it...not enough chance of a profit. Let's get out of here before someone starts going through our remains, eh?"

"Plotting an escape route and engaging warp now."

The C.S.S. Acquistioner exits the area at full warp, disappearing into oblivion.

The DESC Soul exited Hyperspace with shields up, as soon as they exited they opened fire on the TFU ship.
after the USB ship docked the Nightclaw turned and opened fire on the TFU ship ignoreing the attacking frigates.
"ativate the FTLi lets stop them for leaving the area" the captain ordered

both DESC ship moved onto the TFU ship a grate dislike between the DEC and the TFU had grown over a long time.
with the first volly of Plasma fire and Fussion Torpedos and missiles slamed into the TFU ship.
the Laser turrets were targeting the Unknown ships that attacked the USB ship.
fighters went to swarm the TFU ship moveing in fast and dogeing and weaveing.

as soon as the USB ship is docked a medical team is waiting for them, the commander can down to welcome his guests.
"its nice to meet you in person Captain" the DESC captain sead "i am Captain Wraith of the Sith house of the Dark Empire i welcome you my ship"
he looked at the wounded crew man and nodded to the medical team to take her/him (cant remmber) away.
"dont worry about it i think you to should go down to the medlab" the captain sead "if you dont mind i have to be on the bridge a TFU ship is here and our 2 empires have never seen eye to eye"

The Captain went to the crew of the ship they brang abord, he went to the commanding officer.
"er...we had to leave the Sol system but dont worry we're heading to one of the Space Guilds Trade ports and a Diplomatic ship will take you back" the captain sead

the ships exited Hyperspace outside the Sol system docking with a Trade port other ships from other races were here.

The bombers were targted and fired upon buy phaser burst all the bombers were targted multiple phaser burst homed in on eatch one.

Hawthorne stepped out of his craft into the much larger Nightclaw. Behind him the med team was removing McKay and ensuring her safety and comfort. Kern followed them with a tightly reigned in tension. He watched the evac with grave interest until she was well out of sight, at which point he turned back to the commander of the Nightclaw.

"Permission to stay on the bridge for the remainder of this firefight? This has turned into a warzone..."

And another bump.
