Piracy on the rise! (Space RP)

OOC: I have a website up at http://www.geocities.com/the_dominion_of_veredia at which I will be posting up stats and pics of pirate forces and information on them. These pirates are targeting shipping everywhere, not only Veredia, although they are centering on Veredia. More information as to Imperial armaments and the Order of Asari will be revealed as it progresses.

*Maru Station, Veredian Space*

An official from Imperial Armaments walked into the crowded, and then headed for a table in the corner. He sat down at the table, where an individual dressed mostly in black was sipping a drink.

To see such meetings occur at Maru was common, after all, it was considered a relative haven for mercenaries, freelancers, bounty hunters, and criminals of all sorts.

The official opened a briefcase and handed some documents to the man across from him. The man took them, looked them over, than took out a noteputer from his coat pocket. He pressed some buttons and typed in some information, then pressed another button before handing it to the official.

The official looked at the screen, confirmed the amount of money, then took his briefcase, got up, and left. The documents were still in the man's hand as he got up and headed to the station's hangar.

*Imperial Armaments convoy, near the Dragonstone colony*

The five large freighters and three corvettes moved comfortably through space, as a handful of small Starblazer light transports flew escort, serving as large fighters.

Then multiple jump points opened, and a quarter of frigates with some fighters emerged. The frigates fired off particle and pulse cannons at the corvettes and freighters, as the corvettes and freighters did nothing in return. The light transports came under some fire from a couple of fighters, and a couple had some damage done to their hulls.

Then the frigates launched boarding craft at two of the freighters, then the frigates docked with a corvette and the other three freighters. On board the ships, the marines and crews welcomed them then helped to transfer over their cargo of V-19s, munitions, weapons, spare parts, armour plating, and even some shield generators and quantum singularity cores.

Two of the freighters, one of the corvettes, and a handful of the light transports all jumped out as they fired off a few more shots at the convoy, to make it look more like a real attack. The convoy then continued on their way, transmitting to nearby VSN forces that they had been attacked.

*Pirate Base*

The four frigates, designated Harrasser class by the people that built them, along with their recently 'acquired' ships and goods came up to the immense asteroid that was serving as the base of operations in the sector.

The main bay door on the asteroid opened up, and revealed both an immense docking bay, and shipyard. A Raider frigate was under construction, but needed a power system, shied system, and some of the weapons. One of the new freighters docked at an external cargo port, and the necessary parts were offloaded. The small task force of pirate vessels than departed to head to the Order of Asari headquarters, their homebase out in unclaimed space.

*Veredian News Service*

"Officials from Imperial Armaments Inc. reported today yet another attack on one of their convoys, the third one this week. With this recent attack, combined with increasing amounts of pirate and terrorist attacks on not only Veredian shipping and freelance vessels, but also on targets throughout nearby nations. Admiral Tasini has pledged to do what he can to put a stop on this piracy, and has gone so far as to order VSN warships to cover all jumpgates and is positioning additional forces at major supply lines. Law enforcement has pledged to do its part as well, and ordered the procurement of additional patrol frigates to scour Veredian space for potential pirate installations. Tasini has also ordered his destroyer flotilla and his personal Avenger cruiser to hunt down these pirate ships, of which some attacks are apparently being carried out by unknown capital ships. We will more information on this story as it develops..."

Everyone fell silent when the Chief walked in.

Tall, broad-shouldered, and with two bald, glowing, artificial eyes staring them down, the veteran augment's slight limp didn't slow him down as he strode into the briefing chamber.

"Alright," he growled unceremoniously, "What is it?"

"This just in," said Officer Murly. He gingerly held up and offered a small data chip to the Chief, who merely looked down at it. Eventually, Murly withdrew his hand, quietly.

"I don't have time for downloading," the Chief said. "Someone fill me in. You! Sergeant Lawrence."

"Yes, sir," Lawrence said. Lawrence had a reputation for not being a brown-noser, but not being an antagonistic antiauthoritarian either. Like most sergeants, he walked the thin line between field officers and management.

"Veredian pirates are attacking shipping, according to the Veredian News Service, anyway," the aging sergeant said. "Anyone's shipping. Veredian, freelance."

The Chief grunted, not appearing to take the news at all emotionally. "Any shipping we care about? Any appearances in Sol?"

Sergeant Lawrence shook his head. "Not that's been reported, sir."

"Any word from ITDO?"

"None yet, sir."

Chief Ubamack let out what could be interpreted as a sigh, or merely an exhalation. It was hard to say. "Right. I'll call our nuke-totin' friends in the eye bloody tee dee oh. Lawrence, you're in charge of tracking news on this item for anything."

The sergeant grimaced and nodded assent. It was a soft task, but an obviously important one. Alas, such is the life of an ITG headquarters sergeant.

"Sir, should we contact the Veredians?"

The Chief paused a moment, then said simply, "No. Well, I have some calls to make and intelligence to gather. Gentlemen."

*Asteroid belt, Sol System*

A Veredian Mining and Manufacturing outpost that mined a handful of nearby asteroids that they owned the rights had an unusual amount of freelance ships docked at its hangar. There had been numerous Seeker civilian transports, although as with most freelancers, these ships were packing quite a bunch, but some of the others simply had large cargo holds.

A number of the vessels were apparently flying together, as half a dozen of the pilots were together in the bar. No one could hear what they were talking about and they only stayed a short while before returning to their ships.

Four of the ships launched and left the main hangar, but the other turned around and opened fire inside the bay. A pair of missiles from each ship slammed into the bay turrets and then gunfire tore into docking collars and berths while more fire pounded away at the berths that held cargo containers beind offloaded or onloaded by docked vessels.

The ships fired off another pair of missiles each and they flew out of the bay and went up along the base's hull, letting off missile and gunfire as defense fighters, V-19s, scrambled to engage them and the other four Seekers.

The two transports that had been fighting so far narrowly missed slamming into a comm. dish and engaged a quarter of fighters. The twin heavy pulse guns on the nose of their craft tore into them, but one V-19 survived and came in behind, opened fire with its own pulse guns. A small rear mounted mass driver turret blazed out a trail of fire while a pair of turret mounted civilian Blazer at the front of the vessel spun around and fired as well. The V-19 broke off as its shields dropped and let some distance form between the two ships as it locked on with missiles, however, a missile from the second Seeker hit the V-19 and it exploded.

Three of the four Seekers already launched turned to face the base as they fended off already launched fighters, the fighter bay had opened and the ships opened fire into it. The fourth Seeker launched a barrage of missiles into it, while the two ships that had been engaged since they lifted off joined in, launching their own missiles. The combined gun and missile fire, combined with the damage to the main landing bay collapsed the fighter bay and multiple fighters were crushed.

As the fighters were crushed, the three Seekers facing the base had chosen their targets and began their run, the collapse of the bays had severed power systems throughout the base, and the shields had fallen. The three ships had their large cargo holds that protruded from the back of the main body blown away by micro charges and each ship had four torpedos jury rigged to their ships. They launched the twelve torpedos, and the weapons slammed into the unshielded mining station and it started to break apart. A large section of it, which held they bays and storage areas, was ripped open as a pair of bulk freighters emerged from hyperspace, the freighters took in the cargo that was now drifting around as the Seekers began picking up what they could.

OOC: Corp, I was reading through your super weapons section of the storefront says the RED 12 causes organs to work backwards and the such, killing off the host. I was just curious, how exactly does it kill plants then, becausep plants don't really have organs, unless you consider leafs and roots organs..

The two freighters and the half a dozen Seekers scrambled as a sensor alert sounded, warning them of the destroyers and fighters. The freighters opened up their jump points and fled with two of the Seekers laden with cargo while the four other small transports engaged the inbound fighters. They looked like the normal DESC Firewings but a little different.

Then the two forces opened fired, a dozen streaked out from the missile boxes on the Seekers while their pulse and blazer cannons poured fire into the oncoming craft, claiming three of them.

The fighters were firing as well and they poured fire into two of the transports which broke apart under the punishing barrages. The shields of the other two pirate ships fell quickly, and more fire put them out of commission.

*Veredia/Corpsac border*

Aboard the supply station, some twenty men belonging to the pirate group the Order of Asari were onboard, taking a break from their freighter, which they had used to sell off some unneeded cargo to the supply station. That's when the Corpsac ships docked. They contacted the nearby Asari outposts, and soon a half dozen frigates and a number of corvettes were ready.

The twenty men however, headed for the dock. They came upon a pair of guards and drew out pulse pistols, dropping them before they could get off any sort of warning. Three of the men drew out small rifles that they had strapped to their backs, hidden under their coats.

The twenty men charged one of the Night Spears that was docked. The crew were loading up some supplies when the lead pirate, armed with a pair of pistols, sent pulse fire ripping into two of them.

The three riflemen claimed another three lives and the pirates charged onto the ship with guns blazing.

Outside the station, jump points were forming as four Harasser and two Raider frigates emerged along with an escort of corvettes, five Bandits, three Lifeless IIs and four Minutemen law enforcement corvettes.

The small pirate fleet, a significant portion of the Order, began pouring fire into the two destroyers and deploying boarding craft to capture the cargo ships, while the Raiders launched a squadron of fighters each, half the fighters were V-19s, the other half were a type that the Corpsac ships had never seen before.

The station defenses came only, but a dozen GPMs and some gunfire from the pirate ships convinced them to stay out of the fight, but they sent off a distress call nevertheless.

At the nearest jumpgate, a Veredian battlecruiser, and two destroyers responded to the call, deploying fighter screens and moving at full speed to the aid of the Corpsacian vessels, but it was doubtful whether they could reach the battle in time to save the ships.

*Pirate headquarters, Asari system*

Pirate Lord Ashcroft sat back in his seat as he stared at the viewscreen, a bit nervous, as he was about to have a discussion with his superior.

The screen activated, and there before him was ex-King Vered, now claiming the title of Emperor, though emperor of what, Ashcroft didn't know. He didn't care either, Vered helped fund and provide some information on ship construction and abandoned Veredian stations or emergency weapons depots.

"Ashcroft, I read your report, and I am pleased with your work. However, I feel you need to up your timetable a bit, I would like to see Asari Destroyers sometime soon."

"Emperor Vered, while I would like to have destroyers under my commadn, I am afraid it is more difficult than you think. We still need to capture a Veredian destroyer, which is quite difficult I can assure you..."

"No excuses Ashcroft, if you are unable to, I will find someone who is. Get me my destroyers"

The screen cut out, and Ashcroft leaned back in his chair again, contemplating. After several minutes he turned on his comm. system, "Robinson, do we know the location of Tasini's flotilla?"

IC:

The four Minuteman corvettes poured fire into a second night spear, disabling its newly raised shields, then proceeded to dock and seize control, while the other pirate ships poured fire into the remaining destroyer, a Lifeless II had been forced to pull back from the fight with heavy damage and one the frigates had light damage but overwhelming numbers was winning it for the Asari forces.

At the nearest jump gate, the guard ships had been drawn off and proceeded at full speed to the station, hoping to be able to arrive soon enough to assist, although it was looking doubtful as two captured cargo ships were going off to make a jump and the pirates were starting to disengage.

Then a freelancer at the station, who had engaged the pirates, launched a homing beacon at one of the frigates, which went unnoticed probably due to the fact there was so much debris flying around from the Corpsac ships and the station that no one noticed the beacon.

The freelancer pushed his engines to their max and fled the combat zone, heading towards the oncoming VSN ships to give them the tracking information.

Meanwhile, the pirate ships were starting to jump out of the area, heading to three of their nearest outposts for repair and to drop off their newest goods.

OOC: This should be from Veredia, but I don't trust the servers to let me login and open up this thread again in any sort of timely fashion.

The pirate captain was given his ship back, and it booked it away, taking a long, erratic route back to the Asari system. Once there, they met up with the Pirate Lord Ashcroft. He told him what he had heard from Adem Mayne, and Ashcroft relayed it back to Vered.

"I have sent the message to Vered, this could work in our favour" Ashcroft said, as he spoke to the captains of about a dozen ships, which had just returned from capturing one of Lord Tasini's destroyers, though it was a hard fought battle, and Tasini was now out searching every last crack of Veredian space for the pirates. A small outpost and an asteroid base had already fallen, but it was worth it. Technicians were duplicating the destroyer design and preparing the new Asari shipyard for construction of four of them.

"How so sir?" one captain asked.

"Vered is crazed, and is going more mad with each passing day, while Vered might not spark off a conflict with Adem Mayne, even there combined might probably would not be able to overthrow the combined militaries of Veredia and Corpsac. Vered would waste his strength, and we could get our sovereignty and recognition" Ashcroft said as he stared out a window in his planetside command center.

Outside the window was the capital of the order's civilian population, a two century old colony ship bearing the word Asari. The long lost children of Veredia had rebuilt it, and now it would serve as an immense fleet and troopship, bearing more firepower than any Veredian vessel other than the Glorious Heritage.

IC:

Emperor Vered sat back in his chair aboard his Black Dragon class fleetship. He had carved himself a small empire in uncharted space, and allied himself with the race known as the Aquarians. The Aquarians had given him use of twelve of their frigates, and combined with his own fleet of a hundred and fifty vessels, and some fifty pirate ships, he constituted a powerful force.

He would link up with Adem Mayne's fleet, and together they would take Corpsac by storm, while elements of Vered's armada would engage VSN forces from the opposite direction of Corpsac, combined with the Asari activity, which had forced Veredia to position naval forces at all jumpgates, they wouldn't be able to deploy as many ships but still maintain and effective defense of Veredia, and when Corpsac fell, it would help Vered take Veredia.

It was all coming together perfectly, and perhaps within only a few weeks, Vered would be pacing the halls of the Tasin palace, in charge once more. Of course, he had to give some mining rights to the Aquarians in exchange for some of their ships and crewmen, but that wasn't a problem.

The problem, which Vered didn't know, was with the Order of Asari.

*Asari Command Ship*

Lord Ashcroft had just sent a message to the Veredian government, Ashcroft hated Vered, and his only concern was for securing the indenpendence and sovereignty of Asari, which would require the aid of Veredia.

The old colony ship turned fleetship was ready, it was being escorted by a handful of gunboats which would link up with the Asari fleet, and would turn on Vered when the VSN arrived to intercept.

"only the mayne will exit hyperspace with a few escorts as soon as we make contact with Vered and his fleet the 1st half armada is to exit behind his fleet and open fire then the mother ship will" he smiled "revange at last"

a few hours later the Myane left dry dock and entered hyperspace heading for the cords given to Adem for the meeting the half armada followed.

as soon thye were near the system the Mayne and its escorts exited hyperspace and waited it raised it sheild and opened it guns ports as a sign of respect and waited for Vered.

---Cargo fleet 874---

"sir picking up mutiply hyperspace jumpoints" the tac officer reported
"what oh sh**" the capitan replyed as the Mayne ships exited hyperspace opening fire at once, hitting a few of the destroyers right away and the carrier, the all exploded in a blaze of fire. the few remaining ship returned fire but with littile sucess as they were out numbered and were quickly delt with most of the remaining ships were disabled.
in 20 mins the convoy was taken the cargo ships were borded the crews were spared there life but the cargo taken it was a quick operation and well planed.

OOC: So your going to attack Vered? Didn't see that one coming...not yet anyways. Some info on those torpedoes I use, they've been in development for years as immense anti-base or anti-fleet weapons. They are rather large (or these specific models are anyways) and contain, basically, a mini star, the star provides power for the weapon and its shield systems. As it goes, the star heats up, its core turns to iron (that is what happens when a star goes nova right?) and it goes nova, creating an immense explosion, or micro nova. Expensive, but worth it in the lives they save.

IC:

Vered's flagship, and his armada opened up a storm of jumpoints as they emerged. The second they emerged, they activated their shields, Vered being distrustful. When he noticed the other fleet, which was only a mothership and some escorts, wasn't firing, and was showing a sign of respect, it flattered his ego, and he ordered the shields down.

Then all hell broke loose, countless warships emerged from hyperspace, and an immense barrage of fire broke apart two dozen ships and damaged numerous others. Fighters scrambled, shields went up, and weapons fire went flying.

The Asari ships fell back, while Vered's fleetship and two destroyer flotillas went toe to toe with the largest Mayne vessel. The other ships concentrated fire, as fighters and bombers scrambled to take down enemy strike craft, boarding craft, and weapons systems.

The two armadas went at it with a vengeance, but the Asari ships had avoided most of the combat, and Vered was furious as he desperately needed their firepower. Though Vered's forces were ripping into the Mayne fleet with a fury, they were outgunned and the Mayne had the first devastating barrage of concentrated fire.

Vered's fleet was slowly falling back, though some ships had gone off on their own accord and rammed or gone in suicide missions to draw off fire and devastate key enemy command ships.

The strike craft regrouped and went in for a concentrated assault on larger Mayne warships as Vered was about ready to call for a retreat, when an even more shocking event occured.

A dozen jumpoints opened, and out flew a dozen Starkiller SN torpedoes. Followed by an immense fleet of VSN battlegroups, and carrier divisions, lead by Admiral Tasini. The torpedoes, a secret weapon under development for several years, had devastated both fleets, and the immense VSN armada opened fire along with the Asari ships at the Vered and Mayne forces.

Justice Missile ships, a dozen of them, fired off more than a thousand anti-ship missiles at enemy ships, emptying a large portion of their magazines in the process. Thera carriers with destroyer escorts carried out attack runs on large enemy capital ships, as the Theras' fighter squadrons tore into both fleets' strike craft and lauched their own attack runs as the battle raged.

"Damage report?" he asked
"12% of the Armada were hit by them strange torpedos 11.8% of them were destroyed, our shields are holding the transformation is starting now ETC 30 minates" a tac officer sead
"good tell the armada to cover the Mayne Activate the..."
"sir more jump points.....oh crap DESC ship moveing in fast....its a Battlefleet...sir..... my god i've never seen that Dreadnought befor" the tac officer reported
"ahh screw this get the Mayne out of here" Adem ordered as the motherships Jump engines kicked in and a massive jump point opened as the Mayne and escort entered.
the Mayne Aramda stayed behind attacking the Vered ships and the DESC ship.

the battle radge on as the new DESC fleet entered into it, at a large group of Vered/Mayne ships a battleship fired of a volly of backhole torpedos.

it was madness a massive battle and seemingly 3 sides, VSN/DESC ships, Mayne ships and Vered ships.

The DESC ships ativated the FTLi (the Dreadnought that i cant remmber the class of but u made) it fired it weapons, with the other ships sending out fighters engageing the other fighters.

Admiral Tasini received the message from Adem Mayne, and, not wanting to destroy a potentially neutral or allied group, ordered his fleet to fire only on Vered's forces.

Instead, the DESC could handle Mayne, since that was probably their main goal, and Tasini didn't mind in the least if Adem happened to die here, it would be a far better death than he deserved.

The fleet continued to cut into Vered's fleet, savaging it brutally, and capturing more than a dozen vessels, while the Asari forces captured more half a dozen.

Vered, though furious, and seeking to annihalated the VSN forces, knew he was almost doomed, he ordered his fleet into hyperspace, using his immense Black Dragon to fend off the oncoming fleet.

That's when his worst nightmare happened, a dozen VSN ships and three Asari ships managed to connect with it, and soon, hundreds of marines were pouring aboard. Boarding craft were coming aboard also, and systems were failing throughout the ship as the boarders started to take control.
