Mechlon System, CorpSacian Space
Cerberus Battle Log, Supplemental

With recent intelligence pointing to a major Shivan Invasion of the Milky Way galaxy, the ESUS began major war preparations to fight against the enemy and survive. Further intelligence indicated who the primary target was... The Extra Solar Union of Systems allied nations. As the largest threat to complete Shivan domination in this galaxy, the ESUS was also the Galaxy's last great hope in turning the Shivan invasion away.

Years before, when the ESUS first got word of the Shivans, they sent everything they had to repel the invasion. The small alliance did every thing in their power to repel the Shivan Invasion in system Rho 228. After a fierce battle between the two groups ensued, the Shivan's plan for galactic domination was thwarted. Now they made their second attempt.

With word of the impending Shivan Invasion of the ESUS and subsequently the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy, a plan was devized and a trap was set. A trap, that used the weakened nation of CorpSac as bait. The plan was simple, make it look that the ESUS had abandoned one of its weakest members in their most vunderable time. In order to make this look realistic and plausible, the nation of Indra Prime arranged for a special group of CorpSac military to steal a prototype ship being constructed in secret. With the ship stolen, the ESUS would have a reason to apparently abandon its ally. The ship that stole the prototype was chased by an Indran fleet and halted in the Mechlon System. When the CorpSac fleet refused to give up the prototype they were engaged and apparently severly damaged by Indran weapons fire. With the prototype recovered the ESUS fleet was ordered by the Cerberus to withdraw from the system and leave CorpSac space. This is the appearance that the fleet gave to the enemy.

What was not recorded by enemy sensors, was that while this was occuring, a huge ESUS mobilized fleet was being prepared to attack the Shivans once they arrived to take over the CorpSacian Homeworld in the Mechlon System. Over nine hundred ships had been fitted with the best of Indra Prime technologies, primarily Phase Cloak Technology and Temporal Disruptors. With this large mobilized fleet armed with state of the art technology, they set a course for the Mechlon system, under full cloak and at full speed. When they reached the system they halted to await the fabulous display of pyrotechnics between CorpSac and the Indra Prime vessels. Once the 'batle' had ended, and the CorpSac vessels were 'damaged', the entire ESUS fleet that was stationed in the system pulled out and cloaked when THEY were out of the system. Once they fully cloaked, they were joined by the nine hundred vessels already waiting on the outskirts of the system. As one, the combined ESUS fleets moved back into the system and set themselves up in the best places for an ambush on the Shivan Fleet. With virtually vessel equipped with a phase cloak, most of the ambush vessels were positioned inside planetary bodies, inside the sun itself, and all were in position to make a major strike against the Shivans, when they arrived.

With more than a thousand ships cloaked within the boundaries of the Mechlon system, the Shivans would recieve quite a surprise when they attempted to attack the CorpSac homeworld. Not only did they have to contend with these vessels, but there was an additional bonus that awaited the Shivan Fleet. More than an additional thousand vessels awaited in a nearby nebula to close the trap on the Shivan Fleet and attack the enemy from behind. It was a strategy that would work with even the strongest enemy. All that the ships captains and crews had to do, was wait for the dawn. The Shivans are coming.

OOC: Just tagging mostly.

IC:
The fleet had been rather battered as it left what was once the home system of UA. They had dealt out some damage and it seemed as they were going to win this one when the entire system seemed to go nuts.

"Set a course for the Mechlon system. We will get some repairs done there and then we will go Shivan hunting again."

Admiral Mertens was pleased. The Indran phase-cloaking devices were working fine for the most part, there were some minor fluctuations but nothing too serious. Of course, if for some reason the cloaking devices stopped working, his entire fleet would appear inside the gas giant they were hiding in, with the obvious result being their death.

The entire CF expeditionary fleet waited with bated breath for the order to move in.

Meanwhile; the CFV Hydra was nearing completion.

OOC: Since I ignored the other thread, I have to RP the launch of the Hydra all over again.

FSS Bec Corbin, Feazanthian Expeditionary Forces (Delta Command)
Mechlon System

The Bec Corbin readied its massive MAC guns, unaware of the plans of the ESUS. Admiral Dowarty watched, amazed at the lack of any allied forces in the area.
"Any contacts yet?"
"No, sir. Nothing. We are detecting an unusual amount of radiation spikes, but that is about it."
"Keep searching. I want to know the instant anything, whether Shivan or ESUS, shows up."
"Aye, Admiral."

(OOC: I typed up something I really liked, and it ate it. Bloody forums.)

Admiral Davis personal log
aboard the IJN Hades

It has been many years since the last invasion by the shivans of this galaxy. We were much too young then to realise the scale of what was happening in the heavens above us, and we were even less able then to assist. Now though, on the eve of the next Shivan invasion of our galaxy, we stand ready with the others, to provide a defense of this galaxy, and return the fight to those that brought it. Our ships stand ready, and it is the greatest honour I could recieve to see the Jordaxian fleet, under my command, spearheading the second attack into our foes flank. My pride in our nation only increases when I consider how quickly we have risen, to take our place in history. Our scientists have come up with many, previously unknown, ways to destroy the Shivans, methods that not even the more elder unbound nations knew. With weaponry designed to destroy the Shivans previously invincible capital ships, we wait in ambush for the Shivans to arrive, for us to descend upon our nemesis like wolves.
With our work done, I can only hope that our combined peoples can rise to the Shivans, and defeat the enemy before the galaxy can fall victim to a second invasion.

OOC: That'll be a *tag*, then. I prefered my first, but that's longer.

&tag

The Aegis class Carrier Angelfire and her massive counterpart, the Thorhammer class supercarrier Anubis sat in jumpspace, awaiting the attack.
Commander Toras: "Captain of the Anubis, this is commander Toras of the Angelfire, when the attack commences, we will drop out of jump first and engage stealth to ensure we have not jumped the gun, as soon as the Anubis enters realspace, We will be fully engaged in this conflict."
Captain Karin: "copy that Toras, we will hold our position in jumpspace until needed."

OOC: At this pace I wont be able to participate when the fight begins because the forums start to act up in about 2 to 3 hours. For me anyway, not to mention the fact that its in the afternoon here.

And-a BUMPO

OOC:Ok I am confused now have we restarted the war?

Yes. Please keep things as IC as possible. Absolutely nothing but the battle will be posted here. No Gronde/Corpsac war, no, bs of any kind. Hell, there's supposed to be a no OOC, but they never work. But try to keep it minimal.

OOC: Last OOC post from me thanks
IC: The UFM Frantic and Enterprise moved into the Sun with their Indran Phased cloaking device. Captain Maxwell's eyes went cross eyed as he tried to figure out how the hell he could toch his hands and the were tangible but the ship he was in was intangible and currently inside a massive ball of burning hydrogen.

Bump for Shivans to notice thread.

BUMP for Shivans

Where are the Shivans?

http://telmedia.telarc.com:8080/ramgen/telarc/80410/80410-1-mAMAB.smi play then read

The Corpsac homeworld alone, isolated, defended by the remains by a once noble empire would soon come to destruction. The Shivans afraid of what he terrans can become; are becoming, realised that they had no alternative but to attack and weaken the bipedal species. The clans united in this major act of defense of the Shivan species united their resources, their power, their armies in a war that would bring resounded glory for millennia’s to come. This was merely the first of many steps to fulfilling the end objective.

In the Corpsac homesystem blue shimmers appeared in the black of space, the night had come, the darkness was here. Out of the small tears emerged small Shivan probes which would attempt to ascertain whether or not the ESUS alliance had in all reality abandoned their now traitorous ally. The small probes skimmed through the system remaining safely behind the mirage of a cloak, relying on their sensors to discover if the abandonment of Corpsac was in fact an ESUS trap. After some time of scans and constant review of the probes data, the consensual will was to attack the now crippled empire. Just under half the Shivan fleet had been assembled for the this task of destruction though the Shivan flagship would not be present due to other necessary engagements the fleet would go ahead under the will and guidance of the hive mind. Some members of the species wanted to wait until the Gargantuan was completed but most agreed it would take to long and the opportunity for an easy victory would be lost.

Once again inside the homesystem more blue shimmers appeared and out emerged a small task force to begin the assault on Corpsac.

Task Force: Four Ravanas, Ten Liliths, One Sathanas, Five Molochs. Eight hundred fighters of all assortements.

OOC: Iam going to have a battle with coprsac first. This is merely a first engagement to see if the water is or is not safe.

OOC-Link no work for me.

The lights dimmed and turned red aboard the Bec Corbin.
"Report!"
"Enemy ships inbound...JESUS! They just appeared out of nowhere!"
"I'll have no blasphemy on my bridge, lieutennant. Are the Shivan?"
"According to the data packet...yes."
"Open a channel."
"Done, sir."
"Attention Shivan fleet. This is Admiral Dowarty of the Feazanthian Expeditionary Forces, Delta Fleet. By mandate of His Imperial Highness, Emperor Hans Feazanth XVII, I order you to vacate this system and return to your port of origin immediately. Failure to comply will result in destruction."

The Bec Corbin and its fleet began moving towards the CorpSec homeworld, and the Shivan fleet.

The lead Shivan vessel opened hailing frequencies to give the enemy their answer. The computerised voice boomed over the frequencies. Humans, When we tried to classify your species. We realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism in this Galaxy that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this Universe, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

The Shivans sent a small hail through into subspace and out from the vast assembled fleet emerged a Lucifer class destroyer in amoungst the enemy fprces. The vast blue haze of subspace blinding the Feazanthia ships for an instant before the Lucifer struck. The small Shivan task force continued its heading towards the Corpsac fleet while the Lucifer engaged the enemy. The Lucifers three planet destroying flux cannons opened fire as it emerged from subspace upon the hailing vessel, There would be no prisoners, there would be no survivors.

"EVASIVE MANUEVERS!"

A Wolf-class cruiser exploded in a flash of silver light, and the shields on the Bec Corbin shimmered green.

"Shileds to 20%! We can't take another hit like that!"
"FULL POWER TO MAC GUNS! FIRE!"

The Bec Corbin's 12 100-ton Magnetically Accelerated Cannons charged up and fired straight at the Lucifer destroyer. Every weapon in the Feazanthian arsenal focused on the Lucifer, covering it in a hail of Titanium rounds, Angled Metadynamic Projection beams, Photonic Cannon blasts, and fusion warheads.

IC: The enemy weapons simply passed through into subspace like so many before. The Lucifer instead of firing upon the lead enemy ship rammed into it. Passing through the enemy shields the Lucifer slammed into the hull moving through the vessel pulling its matter into subspace. (essentialy you have a big hole in your ship) The Lucifer while passing through the vessel opened fire upon the exposed infastructure with its three vast flux cannons with an intent on destruction. The Lucifer signalled to the Shivan fleet wainting in subspace to prepare to jump into the system.

Admiral Dowarty's eyes went wide as he saw what was happening. His ship, the mightiest ship in the fleet, was dying all around him.
"ALL HANDS ABANDON SHIP! ALL HANDS ABANDON SHI-"

He was cut off as the Bec Corbin's pair of Farragut Mk. 92 heavy fusion reactors went critical. The capital ship seemed to stop existing, quickly followed by a massive shockwave of released fusion energy.


A pair of fighters entered warp.
"THIS IS SUICIDE, MAN!"

Captian Rachel Michaels shielded her eyes as the dreadnought exploded. Her own Delos-class battlecruiser, the Jennison, was thrown back from the shockwave. She opened a channel.
"This is Captain Michaels, I'm taking command of the fleet. All ships, prepare to head at maximum warp to the following coordinates."
She quickly input the coordinates of a system near to Mechlon, but far enough away that the Shivans would not think to follow.
"ENGAGE!"

The warp engines of the Feazanthian ships simultaneously fired, and the ships disappeared. However, a massive gravity wave from so many ships entering warp at the same time remained...precisely around the Lucifer destroyer.

[Tag, though after Feazanthia's little debacle I don't know if I'd want to risk my battleships...]

OOC: apaprently I have the ghost posting disease, this post was not intentionally made by me.

OOC: tag

[Tag/Placeholder until I can get my IC filler post up]

OOC: this is my only ooc non-rp post, hey brits, can you like list off what ships youve got out here in a post or something? im trying to find out what to attack apart from the lucifer

Over an open channel, designed specifically so all would hear, came a voice "Attention CorpSac, this is Acting Emperor Phoren Narqu of the remnants of UA. The ESUS may be pulling out, but we aren't."
The 2 missile frigates followed after the 23 fighters, all heading directly for the Mechlon system.

Bump.

BUMP(to get my canadian penny in)
could we just completeley erase the AoN vs. Corpsacx war because IB is fighting, it would make everyones live so much more easier.

**The majority of the Grand Fleet bided its time in a hidden location, deep in the nether-space between one system and another. The ships themselves hid in a reflective gas cloud, allowing communication with the others but not showing up on any deep space scanners. Captain-General Reffa sighed, awaiting the call from the rest of the Fleet. They had opted not to particpate in the grand cloaked endeavour, finding themselves better suited to taking the initiative in most engagements and reacting to their enemies, rather than following a set plan by allied races. Regardless, Crownguard was there first and foremost as the rock against which the Shivan hammer would shatter, the shield that would not be breached and would hold back the flood that would befall the CorpSac worlds.**

a small ball of grey green matter is floating in space in the relative nacinity of the Lucifer. the grey ball does nothing, and looks like nothing. inside however, a super-script signal is being sent to a certain someone. (btw IB dont try to detect superscript, it looks like background radiation from the big bang)

there is a largish alien sitting at the consol. he hits a red button. it lights green and remains lit. a comms channel opens. the aliens own language is masked by a deep artificial translation

Alien: Comander Rayne, the survelence units are detecting no other attackers. the lucifer is giving chase to the Fezzan ships. action stage one is complete sir. there seems to be a taskfroce moving on the CorpSec homeworld.

a human face with glowing light blue eyes is on screen. his skin is pale, and his white hair is tied back in a ponytail. he looks destressed

Rayne: What? Dear god, get out of there and regroup at ... ru'thi'taliu'kah...

Alien: should we chain the kul'thi'do sir?

Rayne: yes, now get out of there, all of you.

all of the aliens respond

Aliens: Ru'ull

about fifteen grey balls of matter sudenly change shape. all are various distances from the lusifer, but all of them suddenly morph into large fighters, then in a blink of an eye. theyre gone.

On the Battlestar Columbia, General William Harris paced the main bridge anxiously waiting for the order to proceed with the attack. Suddenly the radar operator exclaimed, "Sir, the Feazanthian ship Bec Corbin has been destroyed! Shouldn't we go in and fight back?"

"We have our orders to wait. If we go out there alone, we'll be sitting ducks for the Shivans.", stated General Harris.

"Are you sure there is a Shivan fleet there, ensign?"
"Yes, sir. I even detect a Lucifer which is currently attacking a Feazanthian fleet. It just took out one of the ships and the other ones are retreating."
"Time untill we link up with the reinforcements?"
"They are 5 minutes away from us and we are still 7 minutes away from Mechlon."

Commodore Gandara looked at the tactical screen, the devices installed on the ships were simply amazing, he could see on his screen all the cloaked allied fleet ships taking position on the system ready to spring the trap on the shivans.. his sensors showed the attack of the shivans on Feazanthian ships, they did not even bother to fire their weapons, they just rammed them.. he was a bit impatient to start the fight.. but a good soldier knows the right time to do it..

"Tactical, Status of Commodore Aaryanna Nirze's battlegroup?"

"Sr. they are in position.. we are now covering the flanks and ready to attack when the order arrives.."

Gandara nodded slowly, "I want the first hits we land on them to be on their sensors, we punch their eyes, they'll have a harder time hitting us.. Comm, line of sight tight beam to Commodore Nirze, relay tactic, after the first wave, attack weapons and engines.."

"Aye aye Sr."

-Mekantan Nexus

TacCom watched the events carefully, sure to keep back Mekantan forces until absolutely needed.

Just to maintain the ruse that they were still supporting the Shivans...

OOC: I have work today so i wont be able to post till tonight, but when i will jump in the fleet tonight.

It's been rough on Moontian's colonies recently, with increased military spending due to the hostilities with the Shivans and the extra shipbuilding infrastructure that has been required.
The new subspace drives have now been fitted in a couple of dozen Heronmarks, and the crews of the ships have been trained in their use. The first major attacks are still being planned.
A small fleet had been sent to Indra Prime only five hours ago, and their arrival for outfitting was expected there in a day or two. The ships were to be used as a reserve force, and to mop up any Shivans still there on arrival.

Ships in fleet sent to Indra Prime:
6 Heronmarks, 24 Dragorans, 36 Raven-eyes, 108 Orions

bump.

BUMP(to get my canadian penny in)
could we just completeley erase the AoN vs. Corpsacx war because IB is fighting, it would make everyones live so much more easier.
ooc> No, we don't want to do that. Although, I was wondering: I am the one who began the Mechlon battle, what do you want me to do? I could assume that once the fighting between the Shivans and ESUS began heating up, that I just cut my losses and left. Sound good? Sorry for clogging up your thread. :D

OOC: Gronde, we want you to get the hell out of the system while the war is going on.

Oh yeah, BUMP!!!

Bump because I have no time to post anything right now.

*Yawn*
*waits for Shivans*

La Cuca Bumpa La Cuca Bupa El Shivanos Really Suck!!

OOC: So sorry about the time delay, work and stuff. Moontian if you are going to enter subspace you must tg me or i will ignore it. Shivans detect all subspace travel for reasons which others know but i cant be bothered explaining it right now. All subspace travel will be ignored until this battle is over.

IC: The Shivan armada was given the signal to make the transition to real space, the vast fleet of red and black warships filled the darkness of subspace with an evil glow. The energy sparks of the subspace drives sent vast waves of energy in all directions and suddenly it all stopped the fleet had left the Shivan domain. The area around the Corpsac homeworld shone with a brilliant blue, the populace on the surface must wonder what would be causing the day to turn into night. The vast hulk of the Shivan fleet acted like an eclipse blocking the light for the Dark empires population. The would die in darkness.

The Shivan fleet emerged 2000km form the Dark empires second homeworld with their weapons charged and engines at maximum.

Fleet Statistics

290 Lilith Cruisers
489 Moloch destroyers
350 Demon destroyers
210 Raksasha Destroyers
350 Ravana destroyers
118 Cain Cruisers
4 Sathanas destroyers
1 Lucifer destroyer

over 12,000 Fighters of all types

Admiral Jonathan Ketcher sighed. On the new Wormian flagship, the FRW Chimera things were quiet. The advantage of the Wormian superbattleship allowed him to witness the battle between his ESUS allies and his Shivan enemies. Wormian sensors were far reaching, and virtually undetectable. His fleet of over 100 warships silently and unknown to the Shivan sensors passed closer and closer to the Mechlon reflection nebula.

"Steady as she goes, helm. And get the fleet battle prepped." Ketcher said.

With a reflection nebula surrounding them, it was like a massive pane of one way glass. They could see out, but neither the Shivans nor ESUS could see in.

OOC: Given the unreliability of the forums this might be my last post for tonight or not, we will see.

IC:
The two fleets had linked up and they were now racing towards the enemy fleet at the highest velocity they could get out of their FTL-drive. But they were still 2 minutes away.

"Sensors, what do we got?"
"Currently I am detecting 400 cruisers, almost a thousand destroyers, 12.000 smaller ships and 1 Lucifer."
"Charge the Ripper beam and go for the Lucifer as soon as we drop out of Bend. Tell the fleet to protect us as we go but to keep their distance."

He felt worried, taking out that Lucifer could be done but what to do with the rest of the enemy fleet? There was no way that they could take them on for long.

Meanwhile, 12 lightyears away

Captain Michaels fell back into her chair with a heavy sigh. A pair of Planetkiller-class dreadnoughts had just arrived in the uninhabited system that the Feazanthian fleet was currently hiding in.
"Helm, belay red alert. They're ours. What's the status of the system scan?"

"No hostiles, captain. But you may want to look at this."
Michaels reluctantly got up and plodded over to the lieutennant's station.
"What do we got?"
"Six M-class planets, at least."
"Any indiginous life?"
"Not anything bigger than an andonia white tiger. And certainly nothing more intelligent than a Teropta."
The Teropta officer at the tactical station snarled.
"No offense intended, Commander Brea'tek."
"Lieutennant, what are you saying?"
"I'm saying that we may have found our new home."
"CAPTAIN MICHAELS!" came a horrified yell from another sensor station.
"What is it, Jenkins?"
"SEVERAL THOUSAND SHIVAN SHIPS JUST DROPPED OUT OF NOWHERE IN THE MECHLON SYSTEM! THEY'RE PREPARING TO INVADE!"
"Any sign of ESUS forces?"
"We've got a Wetland fleet, but they're outnumbered and two minutes away!"
"Helm, what is our distance from minimum weapons range?"
"Thirty seconds if we warp now."
Michaels sighed and covered her eyes with her hands. On the one hand, it was suicide to go up against such numbers. On the other hand, the Emperor had demanded that the Shivan menace be removed before colonization began.

The Torontonian Ships moved into their respective positions with the help of the Indra Prime Phase Cloak, they awaited the order to attack. Most of the Crew watched as a battle already waged on between Imperial Brits and other nations. They anxiously awaited the order to open fire.

Several Light Years away

A small group of Explorer class Science ships had set up position. They we quite far away from the action, as not to get damaged. These ships had been charged with Chronicaling the events of this Historic battle for the ESUS. On the ships were several neutral parties, they would be the ones recording.

Ships in Torontonian Alpha Fleet:
35 Bandit Class ships (Light class, very small, 250m)
23 Legionnere Class ships (Medium Destroyer, Moderately Large, 670m)
15 Centurion Class ships (Large Cruisers, Moderately Large, 756m)
3 Samnite Class ships (Heavy Battleships, Large, 892m)

Admiral Mertens tensed up. The ESUS plan was nearing zero hour. Soon, it would be death before dishonor. He knew many of the junior officers and enlisted men didn't feel that way, they had joined up before the Premier was killed, killed and replaced with these Nazi dogs. But Mertens was around back then, back when being in the military meant something, back when the nation had dignity, and didn't resort to deplorable methods to get what it wanted. Mertens longed for the old days. But the old days were slipping away and were now little more than a distant memory...

Meanwhile at Chimera shipyards;

The hulking grey form of the CFV Hydra gracefully glided out of the shipyard. To her right and left were other ships. Five additional Hydras, all in varying stages of completion, but in the Sixth berth there was another craft being constructed. Outwardly it looked nearly done, but inside it was where the real action was at. She was being made spaceworthy, hopefully in time for the counter attack upon the Shivans. But not ready yet.

"Commander, scaffold control has released guidance. We're free to move." The young Sensor NCO said to Commander Vimes.

"Good. Take us out and set a course for Mechlon system. If we leave soon, we should arrive just in time for the second wave. Make best speed to Mechlon." Vimes replied, his voice full of pride in his new command.

"Aye sir!" The NCO replied, plugging in exact quasi-space jump coordinates.

The Xenium Implosion Reactor dedicated to the Hydra's quasi-space drive ejaculated all of its energy in a spectacular show, ripping a small portal in space-time between real space and the strange dimension known as quasi-space.

An all pervading green light surrounded the Hydra when it made the jump, the jump into the war. The jump into battle. The motto of the ship, painted upon the prow stated its purpose more clearly than anyone "Retribution."

Vimes considered that motto during the long trip through quasi-space. [i]"The Shivans will learn what it means to destroy our planets, kill our people. By god I shall see it done!!" Vimes had lost his wife when the Shivans attacked the two moons. She was just trying to dole out pamphlets speaking out against the Nazis when the Lucifer appeared and turned the moons, and his wife, into dust. They would pay. He would make sure of it.

15,000 kilometers away from the Feazanthia fleet, space silently exploded as the Skeelzanian Fleet exited hyperspace. Originally ordered to assist CorpSac in their civil war, the 1st SKZ Expeditionary Fleet had been abruptly recalled to combat the Shivan threat. Knowing they were no match for a Shivan fleet alone, High Command had ordered the Fleet to hide themselves. For the last week, the fleet had been dropping in and out of hyperspace, sometimes for hours, only re-emerging to confirm their position and check for orders.

Now the semi-random jumping had brought them to the system where the Feazanthians were licking their wounds. Admiral Garon quietly observed them for a moment, before ordering communications to be established. "Hail to the Feazanthia Fleet. As fellow ESUS members, we request any information you have on the current situation regarding the Shivans."

The Skeelzanians had intercepted some of the transmissions coming out of the Meclohn system, and things didn't look to good. Garon wanted to hear a first-hand account though, before he requested reinforcements from Solomon.

OCC: SKZ Expeditionary Fleet includes:
10 Cerberus corvettes
45 Draco Kai corvettes
10 Core corvettes
20 Fenrir MKII cruisers
-8 carrying 4 Legionnaires each
-4 carrying 2 Morders each
18 Gustav cruisers
3 Navarro dreadnaughts
-2 carrying one full squadron of Legionnaire
2 Targaryen battleships
1 Mogul carrier
-8 Legionnaire squadrons
-4 Centurion squadrons
-4 Morder squadrons
-3 Snakmes squadrons

In addition, there are another hundred or so vessels in my homesystems, though these probably won't be called up.

[blerghahardar]

Bump. I'll post the contents of my fleet next IC post I make.

"Hey Rex, how’s it going over there?" came a voice from Admiral Rex Teras' micro bead. It was the voice of Captain Isaac Winters, an under officer and commander of one of the 200 Penguenain destroyers phase cloaked awaiting the attack.

"Just fine, Winty, anything special to report from your ship?"

"Nah, the crew is getting anxious though, if that is something to report," the Captain chuckled, "Hey Rex, what are these new torpedoes those Indrans stocked us with?"

There was a long pause.

"C'mon Rex you can tell you old pal Winty, whom you've been friends with since the academy."

The Admiral appeared as though he wasn't going to answer.

"They're quantum matrix warheads," Teras finally replied, "you tell anyone else and I'll shoot my old pal from the academy."

"Roger that, Rex."

Their conversation would continue until the word was given to attack.

OOC: Seems the fad, so I’ll post what’s in my contingent.
200 Sabbat Class Destroyers.
statshere (http://s7.invisionfree.com/BIA_World_Factbook/index.php?showtopic=25)

On the bridge of the Phaeralon, General Thomas Greeling of the Indra Prime watched the events unfold in the Mechlon. He watched with absolutely no outward emotion as the small fleets of allied nations were being demolished by the small invasion taskforce. Nor did he blink when sensors began registering the massive incursions of the Shivan Fleets into the solar system that held the CorpSac second homeworld. Without missing a beat he gave his orders.

"Open a channel to the Fleet."

"Channel open, General."

"This is General Thomas Greeling of the Indra Prime Flagship Phaeralon. The time we have all been very patiently waiting for is here. Under ESUS General Order 010, I am authorizing the use of lethal force against the Shivan Fleet which has now arrived in this system. The trap that we have worked so hard on has worked, and our efforts are finally beginning to pay off. These ships cannot be allowed to bombard the CorpSac homeworld. All vessels in the first wave, decloak and engage. I am giving the final order to attack. ESUS Authorization Code Alpha Six Red Over Nine Nine Seven Delta Strike Strike Strike. "

OOC-Sorry 'bout the delay, Skeel. Fathers day and all.

IC-

"Uh, captain? We're being hailed."
"Onscreen." The large viewscreen lit up with the Skeelzanian fleet. "This is Captain Rachel Michaels of Feazanthia Exploratory Forces, Delta Fleet. I am currently acting commander of this fleet. We suffered the loss of Admiral Dowarty's flagship whilst engaging the Shivan exploration squad. From what we discerned, one of their Lucifer destroyers rammed the ship and took out one of our Wolf crusiers..."
"CAPTAIN! WE JUST RECIEVED WORD FROM THE PHAERALON!"
"The Phaeralon? What the bloody hell is it doing here? Playback transmission."
"This is General Thomas Greeling of the Indra Prime Flagship Phaeralon. The time we have all been very patiently waiting for is here. Under ESUS General Order 010, I am authorizing the use of lethal force against the Shivan Fleet which has now arrived in this system.

All vessels in the first wave, decloak and engage. I am giving the final order to attack. ESUS Authorization Code Alpha Six Red Over Nine Nine Seven Delta Strike Strike Strike. "

"Captain?"
"Ready the fleet."
"But sir..."
"I said ready the fleet! You must forgive me, Admiral Garon, but it appears that the ESUS fleet has somehow appeared in the Mechlon system and is engaging the Shivans in all out conflict. I must inquire if you know anything about this 'first wave'."

"Admiral Mertens, sir! We're recieving a transmission from the Indran command ship! General order 10! Sir! They want us to attack!" The young NCO monitoring the communications cubicle onboard the CFV Slayer said.

Mertens licked his lips. This would be a battle to remember. "Open a channel to CF ships." He ordered. There was a quick beep, indicating the secure commlink had been established.

"To the assembeled forces of the CF Expeditionary Fleet, this is Admiral Mertens. We are to decloak and crush the Shivans. Many of us might not make it home, but every one of you must know, your comrades won't die in vain. They will die to help stop the destruction of the human race. There can be no greater honor in death than that. Godspeed. All ships, commence attack!" Mertens said, in a small imprompteu speech to his fleet.

Soon after, the CF fleet moved out of their hiding places and decloaked. Opening fire upon the numerically superior Shivan forces, they pulled no stops. Thousands of destructive beams of energy darted through space towards the Shivan vessels. Hundreds of lethal space superiority fighters launched from the fleet's combined launchbays. Point defense nodes glowed white-hot as they discharged deadly accurate beams at enemy fighters and missiles. Dull thumps resounded through the fleet as heavy railguns discharged their ferrous slugs at near light speed.

Beams of Azure fire raked out from the CF ships, the heavy plasma beam weapons seeking out the largest and most deadly Shivan craft, the Sathanas Juggernauts. CF fleets and weapons were well designed to be effective against such large enemies. Where the CF fleets faltered though, was in fighter defense.

The CF Super Capital ships would likely need the assistance of allied fighters to survive the swams of Shivan fighters now heading towards the ESUS fleets.

OOC: Fleet:

OOC: btw Mechlon is not were my 2nd homeworld is located its located in the 2nd homeworld system just want to clear that up befor i make i post (so i dont get confussed and use the wrong set of ships)

OCC: I negelected to mention it earlier, but total Skeelzanian fighter/bomber numbers are currently 481.

IC (Secret, not for shivan ears...or whatever you have):

Zom Garon received the message at about the same time, but it didn't alarm him as much as his Feazanthian counterparts. "We have some knowledge of the ESUS battleplan. The "'first wave' Greeling is referring to are the Union ships currently phased-cloaked within the Mechlon system. They will intially engage the Shivan fleet, hopefully possesing complete surprise. I would advise allowing the First Wave and the Shivans to begin fighting, then attack with your own vessels. That is what we are doing, in any case."

"That may be fine and dandy for you, but we need to overwhelm them with firepower NOW. All ships, prepare to engage on my mark. Three...two...one...MARK."

The Feazanthian ships all warped as one out of the system, leaving only the three remaining colony ships.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Jennison appeared at maximum MAC range - about four astronomical units - from the Shivan fleet. Michaels' throat seized up, as she knew that many of her people would probably die from this.
"Fire."


Hundreds of titanium planetkilling slugs traveling at half the speed of light rained destruction upon the Shivan ships, quickly followed by even more FAT (Fusion Arcing Trajectory) missiles, which exploded with incredible energy in spots that would cause the most damage to the tightly packed fleet. Fighters that did not carry FTL drives disengaged from their host ships and sped towards the enemy fleet, readying their weapons.

Feazanthian Fleet
3 Hurricane Battleships
2 Planetkiller Dreadnoughts (purchased from Cam III)
7 Delos Battlecruisers
12 Epee Cruisers
29 Wolf Light Cruisers
60 Mace Destroyers
89 Basil Frigates
123 Nordic Escorts

Fighters:
12 squadrons (100 fighters per squadron) of Dagger Light Fighters
8 squadrons of Scimitar Medium fighters
5 squadrons of Claymore Heavy Fighters

The bridge of Garon's flagship, Ongeslagen, lit up like a Royalty Day celebration as every monitoring equipment picked up battle. Reports were already streaming in, and other ships in the fleet were requesting orders. Garon made a quick decision. The Facehuggerians had decloaked and opened fire on the Shivan fleet, and would receive the first Shivan counter-attack. Unless the rest of the ESUS fleet decloaked, the CF fleet would be obliterated. The Skeelzanians would help buy them, and the other allied forces, time. "All ships, jump in battle-formation to combat zone. Exit at extreame firing range. Target nearest enemy ship and await order to fire. All fighters are to be launched upon exit from jumpspeed."

The Skeelzanian Fleet flawlessly jumped, reemerging 20,000km to the rear of the Shivan fleet. They were perpindicular to the enemy, allowing the gunships to bring all turrets to bear. Hundreds of railguns, from those on the Draco Kai corvettes to the massive Targaryen ships, turned to face the Shivan fleet. Admiral Garon watched the Ongeslagen's own massive turrets swing into position, as hatches all the way down the hull opened to reveal multiple missile launchers. Up and down the Skeelzanian line, ships gave the ready signal. Overhead, the first fighter squadrons streaked towards the CF fleet, and more were being loaded onto the catapults. "Fire."

The fleet erupted in a massive broadside, first with railguns and then with missile batteries. After the intial barrage, every ship began firing as fast as they could reload, pouring more and more metal into the Shivan fleet. They were careful to not waste any on the Lucifer, far off on the scanners. Missile clouds arced over the fleet, while torpedo boats remained close to ward off a Shivan counterattack.

OOC-Hey IB, you got MSN or AIM? Sorry a bit off topic, but I'd like to know.

OOC: my msn address is Wardventure1@aol.com.

WOW this took forever to find. TAG

Gandara kept his part of the battle group flanking the shivan advance as he watched on his tactical screen the first wave of attack.. quite an impresive sight all those brilliant beams and missile explosions.. The comm officer interrupted him..

Sr. transmission from the Phaeralon, the order to attack has been given..

Very well, Mr. Mähasè, keep us cloaked, we'll wait for a bit longer.. when the shivans are busy firing to the center of the attcak we will jump them from the sides, i am sure Nirze is thinking the same.. she has not decloaked yet.., send the order to all ships to launch all fighters when we decloak.. tactical, relay order to hit shivan sensor with our first attack.. let see how the Lucifer and Demons fare after the first wave, those targets are priority.. all fighters are to provide anti-fighter cover..

Both officers noded and relayed orders to the Argheraalian battlegroup..
Gandara returned to watching his Tac Screen, waiting for the right moment to attack..

"Sir, there's a transmission from General Thomas Greeling of the Phaeralon," announced the communications officer.
General Harris responded, "On speakers."

Everyone on the bridge became silent as they listened to General Greeling's words.
"This is General Thomas Greeling of the Indra Prime Flagship Phaeralon. The time we have all been very patiently waiting for is here. Under ESUS General Order 010, I am authorizing the use of lethal force against the Shivan Fleet which has now arrived in this system. The trap that we have worked so hard on has worked, and our efforts are finally beginning to pay off. These ships cannot be allowed to bombard the CorpSac homeworld. All vessels in the first wave, decloak and engage. I am giving the final order to attack. ESUS Authorization Code Alpha Six Red Over Nine Nine Seven Delta Strike Strike Strike."

General Harris broke the silence, "Lieutenant, send a transmission to the fleet and tell them to assume Attack Position 3."

Immediately, the fleet moved out of hiding and began position themselves. The destroyers quickly sped to their attack positions while the battlestars slowly crept up behind them preparing their fighters for launch.

"Sir, we're in position," said the helmsman.
The General replied, "Good, let's light that candle."

Hundreds of Vipers began pouring out of the launch tubes on the battlestars and commenced firing their two-hundred kiloton Solonite missiles on the Shivan ships.

OOC: Northrop-Grumman Fleet:
Battlecruisers
14 Columbia Class Battlestars
6 Tiger Class Destroyers

On board the Ares
Captain Vrik had been waiting for hours now. They saw how the Shivan fleet came out of subspace.

"That is a big fleet, but remember men we are not alone."
"Orders coming in, sir, patching it through.
[code:1:430513421d]"This is General Thomas Greeling of the Indra Prime Flagship Phaeralon. The time we have all been very patiently waiting for is here.

"Sent this message to the fleet: Check. Then ease us out of this asteroid and bring us into position, full-speed."

They arrived into position as CF began its attack and now they joined in.
"Decloack and fire our first volley of quantum matrix torpedoes. Aim for the biggest capital ships. Leave the smaller ones to our particle beam cannons."
12 Mars destroyers now decloaked off the starboard bow of the fleet and fired 24 torpedoes each, a total of 168 torpedoes sped towards their targets.

On board the Zeus
"Detecting multiple fleets decloaking, one of them is ours. They are firing, but we are still 58 seconds away."
"Ours? Tell the flightdeck to prepare for immidiate launch of all the fighters, tell the fleet to link up with them once we have completed our first goal."

On board the Poseidon
They were waiting in hyperspace as backup. They were told to jump in roughly half an hour or so after the trap had sprung and either cover the retreat or help in the mopping up of the enemy. They had waited for days and now the wait would be over soon.

While a small fleet was still being fitted with the phase cloak and other equipment from Indra Prime, another force was sent to CorpSac's space to assist in the operations there.

The research into subspace had continued; this time the same group of ships had come through the gateways near a star, the first seen in subspace. After scanning for planets, the ships went in towards the star, and actually dived into the photosphere, where the neutronium armour kept the crews protected.

Force sent to assist ESUS:
30 Heronmarks
150 Dragorans
240 Raven-eyes
600 Orions

General Greeling's order came crisply through the comms system that had been all but dead for the last few hours. The Penugenian crews began to move to full battle stations and protocols, chatter between ship's commanders could be heard over the commander's micro beads, and orders were barked. The marine contingents aboard the destroyers locked and loaded and buckled up as Admiral Teras hailed all of his ships. There were a few moments of white noise that came over the comms, then the Admiral spoke.

"Finally, the moment is upon us. The Shivan scum will be destroyed on this day, and among the many great ships of our allies shall be us, the best destroyer group of the best destroyers in the known galaxy," the crews cheered and whistled, quickly quieting down again to hear out their Admiral, "A lot of us will die, this is for sure, but we few, we happy few shall die heroes of the human race, along with our allied counterparts," the crew cheered again, though louder and more intensely, For it is the highest honour for a Penguenian to die in glorious battle, "And when the light fades, and darkness closes in, we will find strength, we will find pride within; Because although we die, honour will be won. Though we die... the Empire lives on..." the crews were now silent, ready for the coming maelstrom, there was another pause of white noise over the comms.

"Our allies have seen it fit to bombard the Shivans from maximum range, so we can't move in. Wait for my signal, and then disengage your cloaks. As you of course all know we like those bastards close! General Greeling has been informed of our tactics, so there is no surprise to our allies. Maintain comm silence starting now."

A moment later the white noise stopped and the crews carried out their orders. Those Shivans wouldn't stand a chance against the fighter-like tactics and maneuverability of the 600 meter destroyers, and hopefully these quantum matrix torpedoes would be effective against the Lucifer as the Indrans had informed them. The pristine white deck of his vessel was alive with crewmen and tacticians. Rex lit up a cigarette as he sat down onto his captain's chair to go through the triple checking of the weapons systems.

OOC: So many people attacking me ahhhhh, so much to write. If i dont respond to your attack right away dont be offended as i have so many replys to write to so many nations, your turn will come i promise.

IC: The Shivan forces were taken by suprise but were not unaware, The incoming weapons of the CF forces impacted on the shields of many a ship causing some to hit off course and others to die. Many small Cain class cruisers were heavily damaged, the incoming fire tearing shards of hull and vented atmosphere from the small cruisers. The Shivan armada was however fully armed and weapons were charged. In an instance of resound beauty but unimaginable death beam cannons erupted from the fleet. The space around the shivan ships turning a brilliant red as the beam cannons proceeded to hit the enemy vessels. (This is all full spread all decloaked ships are being aimed at)

The Shivan fleet still under heavy punding sent an emergancy message back into subspace for the battle contingent to be sent for their aid. The continuing enemy fire smashed into a Moloch class destroyer hitting its navagation relays, the majestic destroyer slowly spun off course. The vast Shivan ship collided with a Lilith destroyer sending two Shivan ships into oblivion.

The cloud of Shivan fighters however spun around and began to proceed towards the heavy capital ships, over 12,000 fighters and bombers were descending upon the enemy fleet like a cloud of locusts; hungry for the taste of blood.

The sathanas warships however slowly began powering up their most feared weapon the subspace pulse which if fired would result in a shockwave of energy which could cipple a fleet or a planet. The huge forward claws of the mighty Shivan juggernauts began to close inwards slowly which signaled the begginning of the firing sequance.

The SD Lucifer sitting at the edges of the system now fully aware of what was happening began to power up for a nano jump is projectory unknown its targets the ESUS

inside of a moloch destroyer, several shivans patrol a massive hangar bay. all the fighters have been deployed, and the shivans are watching the battle. thousands and thousands of fighters of both forces are engaging in a spectaular dogfight. it looks as if two colonies of flying ants have begun a war. a few little bursts of light in all colors and spectrums mark the end of a life, shivan or not. the lights flicker. she shivans scuttle around in a circle, looking for the disturbance. the lights go out for a second, and then they begin flickering madly. The shivans are confused greatly. then. i tiny blue pinprick apears before them. a few little bolts of static jumping on its surface. The shivans stare at the little blue dot with the majority of their eyes. the dot grows bigger, until it has a diameter of about two inches. Suddenly, the dot becomes massive, and a frigate class Aegean Impact Burner apears in the hangar. the majority of the hangar is ocupied by this one vessle. the shivans star at it for a moment. four capship grade plasma cutters quickly evaporate the shivans, the burners sweep the area, destroying all possible targets, unlaunched fighters, shivans, robots, and atomated defense turrets. the front of the burner makes a loud groaning noise, and the front of the ship lowers. it is a giant cargo hold, and inside of it, over 7,500 troopers look onto the decimation. all of these modified clones and Koun'Nou'Kath bio-aliens have only one thing on their mind.

To kill.

the begin marching out in rows of four hundred. it takes four minutes, and all of the troops are unloaded. the ship jumpholes back out. the troops are left in the scortched bay. melted shivan exo-suits are modled to the floor. One Kourn'Nou'Kath steps infront of everyone.

Gar'nu: Companies one, five, seven and fifteen, take the east and northeast halls, two, three, four, and six, get the west and northwest halls. Companies ten, eight, and eleven come with me. elcerophants, do what you do best!

several purplsh bals of energy shoot into the walls. the security sensors for the entire aft end of the ship disengage, as do all of the defense turrets. fifteen small jumpholes open, and fifteen odd bio-ships hover in the docking bay. there is a sickening popping noise as bones dislocate and slide. the bones lock back into place, and the ships begin to walk in the middle of the troops, spiked legs narowly missing troopers. cannons that looka s if they have been added onto the structures, then bonded to the re-orient to face ground targets.

in a cloaked fighter watching transmitions from the boarding army, one pale man with glowing light blue eyes surveys the scene. he smiles, exposing four fangs in addition to normal human teeth

Rayne : Let the battle begin.

he watches as fire fights begin to break out on the ship as his troops move to the engines, bridge, and weapons control centers of the Moloch

OOC:

alrighty then. these warriors (the clones) are better than normal humans, so it would be about two or three of them to a shivan. the elcerophants cannot be hurt by any forms of energy, but ive only got four of them here, and they are messing with your power systems. the K'N'K are super-powered bio-warriors and its about one of them to every shivan. the dislocators are using fighter grade weaponry, instant kill of any personel of any sort. theyre also sheilded so they can take a beating.

The ships captians have recived the order to decloak and engage the enemy, they had achnoledged this order, but had waited for the first volley of fire to be send nad recived, sure it spoiled their element of suprise, but it also protected them from possible disaturous fire that went in all directions from the multiple decloaking fleets.

The Torontonian fleet decloaked from their positions and opened fire, they also went into tactical manuvers. The Bandit's (Class, not actual Bandits) Flew ahead into the enemy fleet, aand although they could be dangerously overwhelmed by enemy fighters, they were hoping that most of the fighters had already been tied up fighting ESUS fighters. Their Supreme mobility allowed them to tactfully avoid enemy gunfire for the most part, and they began tactical strikes agaist what were assumed to be critical systems.

The Legionnere Destoryers began supporting the Alliances fighters, using their lasers as sort of flak cannons, spraying the enemy fighters with high energy volleys.

The Centurian Crusiers began using their heavy guns and many smaller weapon mounts to help the accompanying ESUS ships to pummel the Shivian fleet, while trying the avoid hitting their own ships. These efforts were supported by the two Samnite Battleships, who were in turn, launching their limited fighter support, which joined the ongoing effort to bring down the Shivian swarm.

ooc let me tell you a little bout the shivan they hae five legs there are what i would call blads on their backs the can fire somthing of a miniature beam cannon from one of thier eyes they are incredibly fast there is no gravity on their ships

"Evasive Act-" Mertens tried to yell, but he was cut off by a large hit to the CFV Slayer. The bridge of the Slayer shook, forcing all the crew to grab whatever they could to prevent falling over. Finally, after a few moments, the shaking stopped. There was a large gash across the Slayer's hull, Four meters of armor had been boiled away in an instant. Fourtunately for the crew, CF ships were thickly armored.

The older dreadnoughts and battlecruisers weren't as fourtunate. Two Dreadnoughts exploded in a flash of color, their Xenium crystal fuel reacting to the explosion, producing vibrant hues of red, green, and blue.

5 Cruisers were melted like aluminum cans, their hulls turned into melted balls of metal.

1 destroyer was hit, but it's heavy shields merely shrugged off the shivan beam weapons as it prepared to fire once again.

"Sir! The Lucifer is doing something!" The somewhat dazed sensor operator on the CFV Slayer said. Mertens leapt into the sensor cubicle and examined the data. "Oh no. Tell the fleet to prepare for tactical quasi-space jump! Coordinates are as follows!" He said before typing out a small string of X,Y, and Z coordinates. Coordinates that corresponded roughly to the area behind the Shivan fleet.

"All ships! Engage!" Mertens yelled. At that instant, all of the CF capital ships that hadn't been destroyed were engulfed in the all pervading green light of quasi-space. To onlookers, it would have appeared as though they were retreating. But they were merely jumping to a more advantageous position.

Meanwhile, the Hydra was preparing to exit from quasi-space.

DDTed due to double post.

After the volley the destroyers immidiately reloaded.

"Slow down and try to get behind them, keep firing with the particle beams and blast any fighter that comes near with the lasers."
"The Shivans are counter-attacking...."

The ships tried to evade but couldn't escape that much weapons fire. The Ares trembled as the beams impacted the hull.
"Damage report?"
"We are fine, minimal damage to armour. We lost the Onverschrokkene and the Bijlslag. They got most of the weapons fire but 4 more ships got damaged, but they are still operational."
"Order the fleet to cloak again and find their next target."

(sorry to pile on ya more IB, take your time to respond things get ugly when rushed)
"Open a channel to the Frantic"
<Channel Open>
"we're gunning for the smaller vessel you are to do the same, our weapons have no affect on the Lucifer until that damned Sub-Space shiled portal thing is down. Target all the smaller cruiser and escort sized vessels"
"Yes sir, UFM Frantic is now moving to engage and will decloak along with the UFM Enterprise"
<Channel Closed>
The two Metallinauts vessels flew out of the sun at warp 9.99 and arrived at the battle in a fraction of a second. They decloaked behind the Shivans and targeted the Lilith Cruisers and fired a large Salvo of 10 Transphasic torpedoes at them and proceeded to pound the merciless;y with phasers.

double post.

The Jennison shuddered as its shields took another glancing blow from a Shivan beam cannon.
"Report!"
"Shields at 70% and holding. Sir, we just lost the Orichalon!"
"DAMN! Reroute power from engines to shields. We probably aren't going anywhere. FIRE!"

Another hail of titanium slugs flew out from the Feazanthian fleet as AMP guns took their toll on the lightly-armored enemy fighters.

Ekardia, i know all about the shivans. thats why i assigned about 3 men toa shivan. ive heard normally its 10, but these are troopers that have been geneticly modified by some of the best bio-engeneers in the galaxy. all of my men are space-capable, and all of them carry vast asortments of weapons. trust me, i do my homework. how do you think i knew that shians had more than two eyes?.

BTW dont maike ooc posts fool. this is my last one. none should be making them, not even me

IC:

The Shivan counter-attack slammed into the Skeelzanian line, the energy beams tracing fire along hulls. The larger ships were in good stead, their hard shields dissapating much of the force, but the corvettes faired badly. Three of the Cerberus corvettes and 8 Dracos were vaporized, and many more were heavily damaged.

From the bridge, Garon watched a beam trace its way down the his ship, leaving glowing hull plates in its wake. Silently, he gave thanks to the CorpSac endor armor and hard shields, working together to abosrb much of the energy. "Status report!"

"Three Cerbs and eight Dracs are gone, sir. One of the Lagons* sustained a hit, but it passed right through her. 4 Fenrirs reporting damage."

"Right. Give the order for all brawlers to close with the enemy. Gunships will continue providing support."

Far across the battlefield, the Skeelzanian fighter forces had engaged their Shivan counterparts. Both were mostly unarmored, fast, and manueverable. The Legionairres zipped through space, whole squadrons concentrating on one or two targets. Heavier Centurion fighters barked out with their heavy gauss cannons, before using their off-axis weight to roll out of danger. And the heavy Snakmes interceptors, largest of Skeelzanian fighters with a 15m wingspan, danced through space, their crack pilots utilizing every thruster that had fuel. Slugs and scatter missiles flew every which way, crashing into friend or foe.

nice post but you are way to small, hence you are IGNORED.

The battle was raging on it appeared that the Shivans may win however they were suffering losses. The feazanatia ships fired salvo after salvo at the Shivan cruisers and juggernauts, though eighty percent were displaced many slugs managed to get through destroying some ships and badly crippling others. The Shivan warships searched through the night firing all of their weapons into the ghost ships that somehow managed to appear and disappear at random.

The SJ Lucifer at the edge of the system commenced a nano jump, though most nations would think it to be a normal jump out the Lucifer would reappear in a more deadly and dangerous position. After a small period of time (8 seconds) a precise and exact subspace tear begann to form in the system, inside the Feazanthia flagship the Jennison. The Lucifer emerged from subspace tearing through the vast warships hull sending matter and humans into subspace. Now amougst the Feazanathia fleet once more the Lucifer began to open fire with its Flux cannons sheering the enemy fleet.

The Fighter battle was vast. The Shivan swarms moving in Unison, seemed like an eternal dance, ironic that beauty could be found in amoungst so much death. The Shivan fighters firing their plasma weapons strathed along the enemy fighters. Each Shivan vessel released their payload of Hornet missiles in a series of magical movements. The hornet missiles after launch seek an enemy vessel and then break up into twenty smaller missiles each bundle of anti matter strikes home on friend or foe. The fighter battle raged on but something perculiar happened, all of a sudden the Shivan swarm disengaged. The vast fighter armada tore of from the battle and headed back to the protection of the anti fiighter beams on the capital ships, but this withdrawel was not for fun.

The vast Sathanas Jughernauts were now fully powered and in position, the energy reading were collossul. Every nation would no what was about to happen but there was little they could do about it. The Vast juggernauts released their shockwave of energy, moving at the speed of light the vast waves of energy would soon consume enemy capital ships and fighters

32 Hydra fighters

OOC-IB, I really should Ignore that, seeing as this is the SECOND time you've posted damage for me. However, I'll simply do this.

IC-
Several escape pods sped away from the dying Jennison at warp speeds. They had detected the subspace disturbance and managed to evacuate most of the ship before it arrived. Captain Michaels opened a channel to the fleet.
"This is it. FIRE!"

The AMP cannons on the Feazanthian ships fired and converged on the Lucifer, only they didn't fire their normal projection beam. The space that was affected by the beams seemed to twist and distort. Michaels smiled as she saw the effects the new weapons were having. Pieces of the mighty Lucifer began flying away from the ship and hitting the shield as the immense graviton beams punctured said shield and began litterally ripping the Lucifer to shreds. A few missile boats fired, only they didn't fire their normal fusion warheads. The missiles remained in existence for a few seconds, then vanished. They appeared on the inside of the Lucifer, detonating behind the armor. The Asrengard, being the industrious and resourceful race they were, had redesigned and remodulated the Feazanthian weapons in the short amount of downtime in the unihabited system. They had turned the normal AMP guns into graviton-magneto beams, which could easily bypass the subspace shielding as they were not technically energy nor matter. The missiles had been revamped into a theoretical new weapon, called Skipper missiles. These missiles would stay in realspace for a few seconds to gain a target, then enter an alternate plane of existence (the Asrengard had always pioneered research in the field of multiple existence planes) and reappeared in realspace once they had reached their target. Michaels knew that there was no way for the Lucifer to jump into subspace without quickly shutting down its shielding, and if that happened at such close range then it would be done for.

The Angelfire and Anubis dropped out of jumpspace, transmitting their IFF tags to all ships. The 60 kilometer tall Anubis dwarfing the Angelfire's 600 meter long hull.
Commander Toras: "All ESUS ships, this is commander Toras of the Blademasterian fleet, we are requesting a location where our assistance is required."

OOC:

Lol, IB, comign from you i find that funny. You ignoring somone for Godmodding. also IB, your what, four months old? and you have what, well over a thousand capital ships? god knows how amny fighters? your population is 100% military, and so is your budget. nevermind the people so old they cant fight, or the babies. or ho your pop gets food. have fun ignoring me, if you keep going the way you do, then your going to get ignored by every space nation in the game. im not going to post in this thread again.

btw IB when i have a million troops, that like 20% of my population, 5X less than your military. dont ever tell me im godmodding, i HATE godmodders, which might be a reason im fighting you.

Hyperspace

"now do we enter?"
"no, we cant not let them see us"
"but it might be to late"
"no matter we dont enter yet, we well send the normals"
"thats agreed"

the Spider move though hyperspace as the cores watched the battle, the ship was in a form of morning for the death of allies, the Anla'Shoc waited till combat was called apon it.

Real Space

just under 170 Jump points opened behind Mechlon Prime at the outskrits of the battle, as the CorpSacian Final stand was apon them, the last of the Grand fleet had entered the system.
"Admiral Valkyrie to Fleet, target Shivan ships open fire as soon as we get in range do not use HT torpedo i repeat do not use HT torpedos, get in close people" Admiral Valkyrie gave the order to attack as the Crow Da was now in Ship form.
fighters out front with corvettes, off to attack any form of Shivan that came towards them, many ships Smashed into Shiven Vessals, some how the CorpSacians new they were doomed, admittedly the ESUS fleet might win but somehow the CorpSacians felt that this was there time, there time to fall but they would at lest take down some fo the Shivans with them, it would be some time befor the Captial ships clashed but the fighters and corvettes had already engaged.

OOC: i got to go to work so i will make a better post when i get back

The destroyers decloaked right next to the Corpsacian fleet and fired another volley of quantum matrix torpedoes at the capital ships of the Shivans combined with a shot from the particle beam cannons of the ships. 240 missiles were on their way towards the enemy but not before 20 particle beams hit home.

"Okay, tell the fleet to use our allies as a shield untill we can get another volley ready. And make sure they don't stray into the field of fire of our allies!"

Bumpadoodly for Shivan response to my attack...

(sorry to pile on ya more IB, take your time to respond things get ugly when rushed)
"Open a channel to the Frantic"
<Channel Open>
"we're gunning for the smaller vessel you are to do the same, our weapons have no affect on the Lucifer until that damned Sub-Space shiled portal thing is down. Target all the smaller cruiser and escort sized vessels"
"Yes sir, UFM Frantic is now moving to engage and will decloak along with the UFM Enterprise"
<Channel Closed>
The two Metallinauts vessels flew out of the sun at warp 9.99 and arrived at the battle in a fraction of a second. They decloaked behind the Shivans and targeted the Lilith Cruisers and fired a large Salvo of 10 Transphasic torpedoes at them and proceeded to pound the merciless;y with phasers.

A large green light flickered behind the Shivan fleet. The CF fleet emerged from the flowing green vortex, their heavy weapons blazing. Blazing into the rear of the largest and most dangerous Shivan vessels, the Sathanas Juggernauts.

"Admiral! We've entered normal space, just as we planned. We're currently behind the main Shivan fleet...Uh sir? I don't see the Lucifer on our scopes...It might have been destroyed, or jumped out." The young sensor operator said as chains of sparks flickered through his console, due to the damage.

"Understood. Keep me appraised of the situation. If the Lucifer shows up, I want the fleet to jump well out of range." Mertens replied. He had been somewhat dazed in the attack, but he had recovered by now. A little biomed gel applied to his head closed up his cuts.

Meanwhile, waiting for the call for the second wave, the CFV Hydra lurked in quasi-space. Waiting for the order to bring her lethal firepower to bear.

OOC: This would suck to double post.

The Black Pearl sat cloaked nearby, watching. Star Captain sparrow watched the battle with interest.
"Hmm...interesting. How long do you think that fleet will last? Two, maybe three more hours? Are we ready for salvage?"
"Yes, Star Captain. Three haulers are standing by for your orders."
"Good. Good. Let's hope this doesn't last too long."

And so the pirate ships waited.

Lol, IB, comign from you i find that funny. You ignoring somone for Godmodding. also IB, your what, four months old? and you have what, well over a thousand capital ships? god knows how amny fighters? your population is 100% military, and so is your budget. nevermind the people so old they cant fight, or the babies. or ho your pop gets food. have fun ignoring me, if you keep going the way you do, then your going to get ignored by every space nation in the game. im not going to post in this thread again.

btw IB when i have a million troops, that like 20% of my population, 5X less than your military. dont ever tell me im godmodding, i HATE godmodders, which might be a reason im fighting you.



ooc idiot find out what your talking about before you call people godmodders

1.we get food from nutrients in the air
2. oor race is genocidal most of the population will be warriors all genocidal nations are like that
3. we dont need a budget the clans build ships for the good of the species there not greedy like you pothetic humans


OOC2 corpsac hyperspace tear missiles no longer have the effect they used to have if you have msn ill explain what we did to make it so they dont go into hyperspace anymore

The were several momentary.. blurrings of space-time throughout the system; signitory of Kanuckistani displacer drives, yet, lasting for a literal, infinitly breif instant, far from sufficent to afford any forewarning.

Around the system's sun, twin superfortresses apeared; the KHGV Fuzzy Kitten and KHGV Target Drone, on oposite sides, two massive bubbles of FTLi apearing around the star to ward off 'dirty tricks', their effective radius 9 million kilometers.

Ten thousand kilometers 'above' the Shivan fleet, the Battleplate [/i]KHGV Slayer of Unwary Gods[/i], the Kanuckistani flagship, apeared; weapons hot and shields charged, inversion fields presenting a 90 degree arc of infinitly warped reality to the enemy.

And yet, the behemoth hesitated; a broadcast thundering across the battlefield,

"Shivan horde," the transmission began in a resonate, commanding voice; one which radiated absoloute authority and asuredness in even the most casual tones, "This is Admiral D'avo Vitch, Sky Marshal of the Kanuckistani High Gaurd. I strongly advise you use what little time you have left to make peace with whatever gods you belive in; regaurdless of your actions this day, you shall all be meeting them very, very soon. Slayer out."

As the transmission cut out, A'avo's imposing lupine form sat back in the Slayer's command chair, encased in the perfect white of Naval Duty-Issue Powered Armour; his deep amber eyes studied the battlefield upon the tactical repeter at his side, befor he spoke to his crew, "Scourer those abominations from my sky."



And then it began; the ten facing superheavies splitting their planet-rending fire between the four Shivan Sathanas, while the 600 intermediate batteries with clear lines of fire spit lances of cruiser-immolating fire upon the lesser Shivan ships of war.

No less than 2500 light batteries opened up upon the enemy strikecraft, and at this range, they wouldn't miss.

Double posts suck

OOC:

This really is my last post, so dont bother replying.

yes, you absorb nutrients form the air (free food), and your people build ships for free (you dont spend money). okay. sure. im suprised the mods havent banned you already. Also, who said ageans were humans smarts. I play by the rules, even if i dont play by yours. and i never called you a name now did I? so who is the "Rightious" one.

It seems IB forgot to take into account that i may have bought these soldiers or were given them.

also, learn how to format and spell, you may want to know how later in life, if you ever intend to write a resume or get a job.

Im not sure why you even stick to your "fair" standards and creature designs, i mean, stealing creatures from a game isnt really to original is it?

**The massive Grand Fleet of the Crownguardian forces bided its time in the gas cloud, hating the wait. They had recieved sporadic reports of contact, and desired to assist in any possible way. Yet...if there was a breakthrough...they would need a force in reserve to protect against the threat to the planet or any others.

DAMN patience, it was the weakpoint of many a commander, and annoying Captain-General Reffa immensely. He bided his time, awaiting a call from the ESUS commander to commence the attack, and jump to which sector.

Then....THEN.....Shivan presence would only grace the galaxy as elementary particles of matter.......

**

After seeing the Shivan fighters disengage their attack, General Harris suspected that the Shivans were planning an attack with anti-capital ship weapons. He ordered the fighters and battlestars to assume positions behind the destroyers. As soon as he gave the order, the Shivan ships fired. Three of the destroyers exploded almost immediately, while two others were heavily damaged.

Seeing 800 people perish almost instantly, enraged Harris.
"I want every single weapon on these ships, the blaster batteries (anti-air), the turbo-laser cannons, and the 20 megaton solonite missiles (anti-capitol ship) firing on them now!"

On his command, every ship began firing on the Shivan ships.

Northrop-Grumman Fleet Losses:
3 Tiger-Class Destroyers
159 Starhound Class Vipers

600 SES-X9 probes have been dispatched to the ESUS/Shivan conflict.

These probes are going to scan all destroyed Shivan technology

Statistics

557 Km/sec subspace engines

3 times the speed of light shellspace speed (relative only too subspace)

GX-5 scanning device - can detect up too 500,000 Mhz in communications, detects all eletric pulses and can scan objects with mapping sonar.

68 cm thick Shiandium Armor

Also, 55 Salvage Frigates have been dispatched to the conflict (these frigates are exceedingly tiny, but fairly powerful in terms of salvaging)

Speed/Subspace - 341 km/sec
4 times light speed in shellspace

(TG me if you want information on Shellspace)

Can salvage and carry up too 5000 tons of spaceship at once.

Armor - 133 cm thick Shiandium armor

Emergency Weapons (mainly used to carve away useless bits of salvage, such as excess armor) 2 TTX-5 Laser slicers.

As I am a member of the ESUS, I give permission for any ESUS nation to take control of my probes for the war. Just try not too get them damaged too badly.

OOC: In the event of a mass faliure (IE the ship is destroyed) the data cores within each ship automaticly wipe their memory and critical components self destruct as most nations do. Also the n00b whodecided to insult me, i can have so many ships as all of my allies are building them for me. Why do you think they are not being involved in this conflict as heir shipyards are building ships for me. Most people in future tech like the Shivan idea. It gives future tech something to do, other than tit for tat flame wars. So Aegeus dont attempt to play in the big boys playground when your only a baby, you will get hurt.

IC: The Kanuckistan battleplates had arrived in the battle scene, this was not good news for the Shivans however soon this battle would one way or another be over. Shivan ships were being picked off one by one, the sheer ammount of ESUS fire power was tearing them to shreds the emergency forces must be called in. The signal was sent to the vessels waiting in subspace and the subsequently activated their drives.

The Lucifer fleet inside subspace now began the jump to real space, forming a subspace tear the Shivan vessels intended to emerge into real space inside the Kanuckistan battleplate (it only takes 2 seconds for the rifts to open) Nine Lucifer class ships would emerge into real space however only five were intent on destroying the battleplate the rest would emerge to attack the ESUS fleet.

The fleet however was approaching the Corpsac plannet though in decreasing numbers. Enemy vessels were attacking the rear of the fleet where Cain cruisers were being downed, the enemy fleet were firing from above and below the fleet damage was being taken everywhere. The Shivan beam cannons now fully charged erupted anewed upon the esus vessels. The Sathanas class juggernauts now facing enemy ships let fly with their forward beamcannons tearing at enemy ships. The vast shockwave erupted just before this was sent into the ESUS fleet and the damage was impressive.

The Shivans however realizing that this battle was lost began to power up their subspace drives for the escape back into subspace. The fighters with smaller drives were able to go almost instantly where the capital ships would take longer.

The Lucifer battle though was continuing, the Feazanatia fleet launched a volley of unknown torpedoes. Some went into subspace others remained in their dimmensional flux and flew inside the vast hull of the Lucifer. Decks were shattered, bulkheads snapped as energy engullfed the Shivan destroyer. The warship could handel the detonations inside the hull however one torpedo hit a temporal reactor. The vast release of energy was almost instant as well as the failing of the subspace shield the Lucifer flew apart. The vast wave of energy moving at the speed of light would almost certainly destroy anything within a range of 1000km.

I am taking everyones post into recognition though its not being mentioned in my actual replies have a look at the losses.

Losses so far

36 Cain class cruisers
22 Liliths
1 Lucifer
350 Fighters of all assortements
6 Raksasha destroyers
4 Ravana destroyers

"They are close enough... Deactivate phase cloaks... now," Admiral Teras said calmly over the comms. The 200 destroyers of the Penguenian fleet emerged onto monitors and view. Their chevron formations of 5 held in perfect formation as they began movement, only to break, swerving around enemy and friendly fire alike with a swiftness no other destroyer could achieve.

"Close to 300 meters then fire at will," came the Admiral's order over the micro beads to the captains. The Penguenian formations sped towards the enemy fleet like the downpour of rain upon worn earth. Faster and faster the Penguenian vessels closed on the enemy ships, their anti-craft lasers doing their best to destroy incoming fighters through the violent dodging of enemy fire.

"Only 600 meters now... 9 vessels lost..." Rex thought, "picked off.. The captains had been careless..."

Faster and faster towards the enemy... 300 meters...

"FIRE!!!" Teras' voice boomed crisply over the comms to each ship. The swift Pengueinian destroyers let fly their volleys of quantum matrix torpedoes and heavy beam cannons onto the Lucifer and her protecting fleet. Some captains broke off for another pass, the shining white hulls of their ships reflecting the beautiful colours of the battle, while others dared to zip through the enemy fleet. The comms systems were a cacophony of captains reporting their status, crying for assistance, and the furious departing battle cries of captains and crews as their ships disintegrated under the heavy enemy resistance.

Penguenia had finally joined the fight.

OOC: I'm assuming you were shooting back at me through all of this, so I'll take the liberty to post attacking losses...

27 Sabbat Class Destroyers down
173 remain

OOC: This post is mainly for Central Facehuggria, I wanted to join a battle but never know when to enter. I certainly do not want to be accused of godmodding on my first post and this thread at any rate. Let me know, okay? Thanks in advance.

The next attack was devestating to the Wettic task force.

"Who is left?"

"Ensign, who is left with us?"
"Only the Vae Victus is still left with us, sir.
Oh no, I am detecting 9 Lucifers now!"

So many casualties."Fire the last volley of quantum matrix torpedoes at one Lucifer then get us out of here." And so the Ares along with the Vae Victus flew towards their target and let their last 48 missiles loose on the enemy.

However the reinforcements had arrived! They had waited outside the system for an event like this and there they were. 2 Jupiter battleships, one of which obviously wasn't finished yet but its Ripper beam was working and that was all that mattered at the moment.
They were accompanied by 7 gunships, 3 cruisers and 6 Mars destroyers.
"This is the Zeus to all Wettic ships, leave the Lucifers for us and tackle the other capital ships for us."

Both the Zeus and the Odin targetted a Lucifer and fired their Ripper beam at them. The rest of the fleet moved forward to provide protection for the battleships.

Double post.

Let me know, okay?

OOC: Jump in at any time.

IC: The renewed Shivan attack hit the CF fleet hard, but not as hard as some of the other ESUS members, due to the simple fact that the majority of the CF fleet was behind the shivan fleets, happily pounding away. Even so, another dreadnought and 2 cruisers exploded in a rainbow of color as their Xenium 115 crystal fuel reacted with the Shivan beam cannons. A destroyer was hit and crippled, but the crew managed to get to the escape pods before it exploded.

"Continue firing! We've got to keep the pressure on!" Mertens yelled into the fleet TACCOM system, trying desperately to keep the battle from degenerating into a melee.

The CF fleet belched more and more firepower onto the Shivan fleet.

Meanwhile, the CFV Hydra was preparing to make the jump to real space.

The Black Pearl sat cloaked nearby, watching. Star Captain sparrow watched the battle with interest.
"Hmm...interesting. How long do you think that fleet will last? Two, maybe three more hours? Are we ready for salvage?"
"Yes, Star Captain. Three haulers are standing by for your orders."
"Good. Good. Let's hope this doesn't last too long."
OOC: Due 1 you wrote that 5 times 2 Ge the Hell out of here because you are not Shivan or ESUS hence you are not allowed to participate in this CLOSED RP 3. Don't steal or salvage peoples tech because it pisses people off and it's god moding now get the hell out of here!!!
IB I'm waiting for you to post damage from me.

OOC: since none of the Shivans have bothered to actually attack the Anubis or Angelfire... oh well, not my problem. And just so everyone involved knows, Blademasterian fightercraft are a lot more powerful/bigger/more expensive than most fighters, with the avgerage fighter running a bill of $5 billion-- don't expect them to drop like flies.
IC:
The Anubis' four massive fighter bays opened, revealing a total of 2500 Omega class tactical fighters, Delta class dogfighters, and Alpha class Bombers. The Angelfire's 6 fighter bays opened revealing 60 slipfighter class tactical fighters, which prompty launched, and jumped into slipspace, awaiting the command to engage Attack Pattern AM. The 2500 assorted fightercraft launched, forming defensive grids around the Anubis and the Angelfire. The Captain of the Angelfire tried again.
Commander Toras: "All ESUS ships, this is the Blademasterian battlegroup Darkwing, where is our assistance required? failing a response, we will engage the Shivans at our discresion."
The Anubis' massive drives engaged, the ship gliding forward with the Angelfire holding position to her port.

All of the fighters that had broken off to help with the bombardment of the Lucifer were destroyed when the mammoth ship exploded, so many pilots were lost.

As for the destroyers and battleships, they were fairing much better. They had only lost 5 of the Legionnere Destroyers, 7 of the Centurions, and fortuneatly, both the Samnites were still intact. The remaining ships continued to blast away at the shivians, although the ESUS fleet had taken serious damage, they seemed to be getting some late reinforcements to help sway the tide of the battle. The Bandits weren't faring as well. As can be expected many were destroyed conducting the surgical strikes on the shivians, most had been able to get some good hits before going down. The last of those strikes had ended however, as the last ship, the TSDC Imperia was broken into pieces by one of the many weapons of the shivian fleet.

The last blast of energy that the shivians had fired out had come dangerously close to the grouping of Torontonian ships, any closer and next time they might not be so lucky.

The Feazanathians had predicted this explosion, as the Asrengard had noted that to keep such a shield system operational would require massive bursts of energy. Only five Nordic escorts and a pair of Basil frigates met their doom at the hands of the energy wave. The rest managed to activate their warp drives and get away from the energy wave.

The tiny pod managed to escape the wave as well.
"Captain! Our sensors are showing that more Lucifers are inbound."
"Send word to the fleet. Pump those things full of Skippers."

Hundreds of Skipper missiles launched, targetted at the reactor of the Lucifers.

Bump.

BUMPO

The salvage frigates have begun to tow parts of broken Shiban vessels away. With knowledge of more Shivan technology, perhaps we can hunt them into Subspace and cripple them. (I do not condone genocide of any intelligent species) OOC: when i used the term subspace, i meant the space everyone travels in, i had no knowledge of the Shivan term.

12 probes are flying towards a Lucifer, in a vain attempt to attach on and follow the Lucifer into subspace.

El Bump0.

Tithians: Your probes can't latch onto a lucifer. The probe would hit the subspace shields, and be transported to subspace. (It's best to follow a shivan craft into subspace, where you can hope to hide in the Shivans' subspace 'wake')

OOC:
IB, please recall my firing of multipule superheavies at each of your Sathanas'; considering one of these weapons can frag a planet in the time it would take the population to collectivly wet themselves, I doubt these vessels should still exist as functioning warships; a rapidly expanding cloud of mixed quarks, neutrinos and gluons might be a more realistic state. Fighter losses should also be nearing a thousand, just from the Battleplate, and that's low-end; my point defence guns can individually cripple an average corvette, and ten thousand kilometers is point-blank for them. You've got a huge fleet; you can afford to bleed a little faster.

Also, the Battleplate's(there's only one there) ASPEW field doubles as a sort of FTLi, tho it only extends to the outter shield arcs; meer meters beyond the inversion field's max operational range. The only reason I haven't engaged my FTLi around the Battleplate to keep you from running is that it might FUBAR some allied ships, and the ASPEW feilds keep me quite safe from the offencive use of FTL drives. ASPEW feilds will also shut down your subspace shields within their area of effect if you get too close, but neither of us have figured that out ICly yet(well, my guys know enough to, they just haven't put 2 and 2 together, atleast not yet); just an FYI.

So, your Lucys'll either cease to exist when they try to jump into the Battleplate, be unable to jump, or come out a few kilometers away(I'll assume the later); I take it you knew something like this would probally happen, otherwise you wouldn't have sent 5 Lucies. Then they'll find themselves well within range of the Gravitic Shear Projectors, aka 'gravy guns', of which the Battleplate has 6. They're it's most potent weapons, but have a pathetic(as far as my ships go) range of 2500km.

So, assuming you came out firing a few km away....

IC:
Admiral Vitch sat up as five Shivan Lucifers apeared around his ship, instantly recalling an Ensign reporting a slight fluxuation in the ASPEW feilds only seconds befor; "Sneaky bastards," he mused aloud, as their fire begain to rain upon the Battleplate's Barrier feilds to little effect, atleast for now, "But not today; helm, LDS us back one-point-five kilo and interpose inversion fields. Tactical, warm up the gravy for our friends out there..."

And with a series of 'Aye's the Battleplate lutched away at a cee-fractional analog upon inertialess drives, gravitational sheer projectors warming up as the vessel came to a relative stop 1500 kilometers away from the Lucifers assigned to slay her and swung the 90 degree arc of her inversion field between them. Still the Slayer poured fire upon the main body of the Shivan fleet

Understood. My probes are then ordered to hit the subspace shield and go into subspace, waiting for the ships to retreat, and then latch on.

If you do indeed have that field up then i want some IC proff of its construction and existance. Kanuckistan you are a good writer but a poor rp'er. Most nations are on the verge of ignoring you due to your unwillingness to accept damage. For goodness sake even most ESUS nations are on the verge of ignoring you. You believe your battleplates to be indestructable and therefore you treat it that way as indestructable as they are too imporatant to lose (so how can you ever play an effective war rp?). I knew you would techno wank out of my attack and so many other ESUS nations told me you would, however i had some hope that you could rp well and just accept that you had been outsmarted.

No referance to these fields have been previously ICly mentioned that can disrupt subspace travel, i have not yet made my IC post as i am on verge of ignoring you, i have yet to decide if i should or not. Someone who can write a post in far better english than me deserves respect and i do respect the way you post. However it is the way you rp that has got me and to put it bluntly the rest of future tech and your allies pretty angry. Kanuckistan you need to change the way you do things or you will soon find no one will rp with you.

I knew i was going to lose this conflict and i wanted to lose it well, and thats what iam doing. However Kanuckistanyour refusal to accept any damage and godmode out of it will not stand. I ask all members of this rp to OOCly post on who you believe is correct and your opinions on what i have just posted.

To the little runt trying to salvage my ships, you will get nothing from them. The data cores are automaticly wiped when they are destroyed and i have a fleet in the system so if you do not want your nation to die i sugest you stop.

Take this OOC post as a piece of advice not a rant.

OOC:
This is somewhat ironic, considering that I've been hearing people call you a godmodder for, iirc, a few weeks now; that n00bish attack on Earth was hardly the start of it. Anyway...


ASPEW fields are basicly my anti-cheap-shot catch-all. I have put alot of effort into designing tightly knitt defences. If you want to hurt me, you need three things; 1) some degree of tactical sense and the ability to impliment it, 2) a massive amount of firepower, and 3) the mobility and weapons range to use it; oh, and FTLi would help alot, as it keeps me from fleeing or making tactical jumps to outmaneuver you. Your typical 'dirty trick' tactics won't work; I've pluged the potential holes in my defences, meaning your only remaining option is to smash through them. Notice the 'atleast for now' bit in my last post, so you would have had an effect; one which will become noticible if the onslaught can be maintained. However, you've got to realise that a Battleplate would take 2-3 RL months to build, and several hundred trillion dollars; by that virtue, they can bitchslap entire fleets, and will requior a massive concentration of force to overcome. Field that kind of firepower, and use it properly, and anyone could very well destroy a Battleplate, tho at great cost.

As for god modding in general, I'd like to note that I RP my ships in such a way that almost never takes advantage of their full potential, in the interest of maintaining a degree of ballance and interesting RP; for example, here I have deployed only a single Battleplate to combat, and assigned two superfortresses to protect the sun, whereas I could very easily have brought in 4 superfortresses and all three battleplates, and deployed FTLi, which would have not just traped you, but shut down your subspace shields and delayed any reinforcments, while still protecting Earth and the local sun; I'm alot bigger than you and your allies, and my fleet is designed in such a way that you'd stand no chance in a standup fight against it as a whole, so I didn't deploy the fleet. I'm quite aware of how close my ships near the point of a godmod, and I'm careful to ballance things so that RP can be interesting; slaughter isn't interesting, and if you do it right, you have a chance against me. If you do it right.

As for proof, my use of ASPEW fields is almost as old as my nation, and mentioned any time I've given ship stats, along with any number of other instances when the topic came up. They tweak reality, making psionics, magick, and any number of other things physicly impossible, including time travel, the repurcusions of time travel, and, unless adjusted to allow otherwise, all forms of FTL; they only effect realspace, however, so you wouldn't notice unless you tryed to jump into or out of them, ram a ship with subspace sheilds into them, etc. The FTLi around my nation's Home Cluster is based on ASPEW feilds, and they cover almost everything I own. However, I don't usually bother to flaunt my tech, so it's only mentioned when necessary, like the forewarning above; the FTLi effect was, iirc, also mentioned during the battle in which I blew up CorpSac's first homeworld when Hive Fleet Immodious(I know I have that name wrong) tryed to do exactly what you just did. I can try and dig that up, but it was months ago, so it might take a while if the boards are acting up(would you like proof that I mount gravy guns, too, while I'm at it? :roll: ).

Basicly, no, I'm not a bad RPer; I understand the principals of ballanced RP better than you, I've merely choosen to strike an unusual one. Hell, in another RP I'm involved in, a freighter of mine was nearly blown apart after taking very light fire from a corvette that was trying to disable it; I do take damage when apropriate.

And I would have had to be blind to have been 'out smarted'; you've used your subspace drives as weapons befor, as others have used their own FTL systems(ie Babalyon 5 'Jump Point' tactics), and I have FTL inhibitors than can not only stop them, but which can be deployed outwards to any range I wish, upwards of their maximum, including sheild-hugging. The only reason I didn't, is because the ASPEW feilds already covered that aspect. I am often methodical in my tactics and deployments; I very rarly leave holes in my defences unless I ICly or OOCly want you to use them, or unless there isn't actually a hole.

Oh, and there are in fact a few 'cheap shot' ways of taking out a Battleplate left, but you'll have to find those out for yourself; I don't trust you to maintain IC/OOC seperation of knowledge if I give you the option of an easy kill against such a high-value target.

OOC: Im getting pissed off IB post damage from my atack so I can continue I posted it 3 days ago.

OOC: Also, IB, if you're going to post please do at least a bit of IC. We're all getting awfully antsy here.

OOC: IB, just post your ships appearing outside of Kanuckistan's ships and pop them with flux cannons at really close range!

Ohh yeah, BUMP.

Commodore Gandara orders his battlegroup to close in the shivas still cloaked, at 2km he orders dekloacking and fighter lauch.. the weapons systems officers on all ships firing the advanced temporal disruptors installed by the indrans, targetting seeking the sensitive spots on shivan ships like sensors and engines.. quantum matrix torpedos firing and impacting the hul and weapons of the Lucifer and Demons..

Attention all ships.. launch fighters, bring me some scalps!!

At the other flank, Commodore Aaryanna Nirze decloaks her battlegroup, fighters launching to add to the already, litteraly "thick as flies", fighter combat, all in all 1026 Argheraalian fighters fly into combat with the numerous shivan fighters, while the big destroyers fire adv. temporal disruptors and quantum matrix torpedos to the shivan capital ships..

All right all hads, lets kick shivan ass!.. if they have one.. The crew bridge laughs as they get back to their stations plotting intercept courses, targetting and firing solutions, and probable evasive maneouvers..

(Sorry, I know it is closed, but I want to set something up for later. This should not affect the battle)

A small drone hovered out of sight of the ESUS and Shivan fleets. It sat there compiling data. A single command line moved through its small organic brain.
Find hosts...consume...assimilate...evolve...erradicate inferiors...find hosts...consume...

And so it continued to observe, not interfering in any way, only observing.

Bump.

OOC: Kanuckistan, how can your FTLi actually stop my Lucifer’s jumping in as they actually never travel faster than light. I only use conventional drives so how can you inhibit me. Until we can rectify this I am not going to post anything about the 5 Lucifer’s and battleplate until I have a few things cleared up. Can you please add me on MSN my address is Wardventure1@aol.com as I would like to discuss a few things.
Mentallintus I did post your attacking fleet however all I said was an enemy fleet jumped in behind me and done heavy damage etc. Sorry if it was not the huge retaliatory post you were looking for but I have work right now and I am doing 12/13 hour shifts, so as you can imagine my time is limited right now.

The Shivan fleet was being pounded by the ESUS forces, 50% of the fleet was now destroyed or in the process of being destroyed. The four Lucifer’s that emerged to deal with the enemy forces were firing everything they had bringing there temporal cores almost to critical. The Shivan fleet was almost dead, most ships had suffered damage of some sort and the fighters were almost destroyed. It was time to retreat. The vast amount of ships while firing everything they had continued to open fire upon the now numerically superior ESUS forces. The arrival of the battleplate had now turned the tide of the war and defeat was almost certain.

The red Shivan ships against the black of space seemed like a wall of blood to the naked eye, the explosions of red, orange, blue, green from all types of weapons seemed like some grand light show for the gods. The four Lucifer destroyers began pounding the ESUS fleet with everything they had until unexpectedly a Wetland vessel was detected, before the Lucifer’s could nano jump there anti matter weapon was fired however in the confusion of battle the targeting was slightly off. The rear subspace emitter was damaged and the shield was failing around certain parts of the engines. The ESUS forces would surely capitalise on this weakness. One Lucifer however did commit a nano jump with its designated coordinates inside the badly damaged Wetland vessel, maybe this time the Shivans would finish it off.

Another Lucifer in conflict with a mix of ESUS vessels was suffering heavy damage. The feazanatian (I know its spelt wrong sorry) torpedoes and the temporal weapons given to ESUS members from Indra prime were taking a heavy toll on the Shivan warship. The crew of that particular Lucifer had a new and ground breaking idea. Almost instantly the weapons and engines were cut off and a vast power build up could be detected in the Lucifers shields though no nation would in particular know what was about to happen. Almost as if by an act of god the subspace shields began to expand outwards consuming any ships or fighters within a 1km radius. The shields moving at the speed of light grabbed at the ESUS vessels as though they were some form of sustenance, then within the period of a mere second the shields reverted back to their normal position and the weapons slowly began to power up again.

The remnants of the fleet began to power up its subspace drives to return to subspace defeated, humiliated and wanting revenge.

The damage to the Shivan fleet is mortal over half the fleet has been destroyed the rest is badly damaged, I bet your happy with yourselves now. I am very sorry on the shortness of my posts but as I said time is limited I will improve them tomorrow wit more detail when I have more time but right now I need sleep.

OOC:IB, I don't really care whether you declare war upon me or not. I don't need data for your databanks to perform an analysis upon Shivan vessels.
Fire upon my ships if you want, and I will respond with according losses.
Threatening me will do you no good, as,
a) your fleet is heavily damaged from the ESUS attack.
b) I am an ESUS member, and trying to attack me might destroy my planet, but you would lose far more many ships then it would be worth.
c)Just because you are bigger then me, doesn't mean you could just 'kill my nation' with a snap of your fingers.


IC - The salvage corvettes, having been dragging odd bits of fighters and frigates alike, have not yet come under enemy fire, except for a few stray shots which destroyed 7 of my corvettes.
35 probes have likewise been destroyed.

ooc his fleet may be decimated but the rest of us are still strong

OOC Go ahead Titians and salvage my ships however you will find nothing of use, as most nations in NS will point out almost everyone rigs there vital components on their warship to self destruct whenever the ship has been destroyed, so you can assume that with my warships as well as well.

All you wll get is scrap metal as the datacores will also be wiped so if you make some breakthrough in my technology expect it to be ignored.

By the way there are many Shivan nations now, all are allies so my capabilities are hardly limited. As we speak my allies are rebuilding my fleet, using htere greater industrial output to aid me in my war upon humanity.

Do not underestimate me

Also everyone feal free to add me on your msn contact list

Bump.

Also IB, while your allies are helping you rebuild, highly industrialized ESUS members such as myself are not resting either...

The extensive refit had taken longer than expected, but the Moontian vessels had finally emerged from hyperspace to witness the battle raging, and an unidentified ship apparently watching the proceedings without being involved. Three Dragorans cloaked and decloaked within 10 km of the unidentified ship.
Unidentified vessel, your ship has been detected. State your business here or be destroyed.

The other ships cloaked and joined the battle, decloaking to the starboard side of the Lucifers and firing many volleys of the new weapons obtained from Indra Prime.

When one of the targeted Lucifers simply disappeared, the captain of the Zeus didn't trust it one bit.
'Odin, make a small jump to these coordinates now!"
Engaging the engines only took seconds and so the two Jupiters weren't there when the Lucifer appeared again. The captain hadn't expected that, he thought they would appear behind him not in the ship. He grew cold as he realised what that would have done with the Odin and worried about the rest of this fleet now trapped between the enemy ships.

When the Zeus stopped behind the enemy Lucifers after almost flying into one of their shields he noticed an opening he could use.
"Weapons, one of the Lucifers has lost aft shielding, fire the particle beams.
Helm, after that turn us 90 degrees to port and so we can give it a broad side."
The 2 particle beam cannons located on the aft of the ship fired at the engines as the Odin now aimed its only plasma cannon at the enemy and began firing too.

The Shivian "Shield Probe" In the Torontonian fllet hard, most of the destroyers were disabled or destroyed, the break away armour doing nothing to help from some sort of sheild weapon, the Battleships and the Crusiers were the only ships that remained firing, thankfull that the destroyers made up the main firing line.

OOC: What exactally did the sheild thingy do?

OOC: It transported everything it touched into subspace. He simply extended his sheat shielding further by deverting power from weapons and engines to the shields. That was rather inventive if you ask me.

The Blademasterian Bombers and tactical fighters screamed out from the Anubis, with the Angelfire in hot pursuit. The 500 dogfighters remained to defend the Anubis and the 2000 fighters from the Anubis, the carrier, and its 60 fighters maneuvered to defend the Wettic fleet.
Commander Toras: "Wettic fleet, this is commander Toras, preparing for attack patern kappa, any covering fire you can provide will be appreciated."
The carrier began to turn so that its antimatter cannons and torpedoes could be targeted to the enemy, the fighters left the carrier's side and began to approach the Shivan vessels, firing waves of antimatter missles directly at the staern of the enemy. 50 of the fighters were destroyed by weapons fire from the ships, the rest releasing their missles and taking evasive action
OOC: attack pattern kappa is an aft bombardement of targets with antimatter warheads. The fighters release missles at the last second to minimize chance of interception, slipfighters engage slipdrives to maneuver from blast, tactical fighters take evasive action.

The tiny probe, barely fifteen meters long, turned and faced the Moontian vessel.

Find hosts...consume...assimilate...evolve...erradicate inferiors...find hosts...consume...

It then began recieving a new set of orders.

Do not initiate contact...observe...consume...assimilate...evolve...observe...observe...

The probe slowly began backing away.




Outside the system, three more probes of similar design appeared.

OCC: You do know what "Closed RP" means, don't you Swarms?

Yes, I understand. But, like I said a while ago, I had not intended this to impact the conflict in any way. I am merely setting something up, it was MOONTIAN who decided to react to it.

Swarms please, you have 6 million people, my army out populates you by 19 million, not to mention the whole ESUS would pwn you so hard that you great-great-great-great-grandma would be cryin'. Let us not forget that between all us ESUS nations we have a combined population of what guys? 10 Billion?

Sorry double double post post

i have had a few tg's from the swarms. Guys looks like ive found the poor guy whos going to recieve the test attack of the Gargantuan. Oh and here is the tg.

When the ESUS is done pounding your pitiful forces to dust, the Zerga Imperium will gladly consume and assimilate the Shivans. Hopefully, this new genetic material will cause great concern for the puny ESUS.

We are also preparing an invasion of Feazanthia. He looks weak.

ill give ya a screen shot if you want me to authenticate it but its him.

OOC: Can you spell God Mod? How does a 6 Million pop nation take down or cause concern to a multi billion pop ALLIANCE.

awww the n00b wont quit i found another tg he just sent.

The Dominion of The Swarms
Received: 4 hours ago I'd like to know what you think of my proposal. I mean, with the ESUS weakened the Zerga Swarms can easily assimilate the Shivan Imperium and bolster its fighting effectiveness tenfold! Think about it...the genetic material of billions of species, combined with the combined military technology of all those species, rolled together with the already-mighty Shivan Imperium. All you would have to do is follow me, and you'd still retain most of your leadership. What do you say?

OOC: Bump.
I suspect that n00b is someone doing a little bit of puppeteering...

ooc just so you all know someone has already been sent to destroy him

Well, taking into account some species that assimilate others (excepting borg) as this Zerga swarms seem to be, and i assume is a bio entity, i dont think it would take advantage of the technology of others.

Take for example the Tyranids, they consume entire planets for its resources and biological material, new DNA to create new Tyranid forms. If this Zerga swarm is so ravenous about new bio material, why then does it need technology?! i would have thought the swarms would have bioships, like tyranids.. plus, the shivans being so xenophobic they will surely look on the zerga as a competitor to be exterminated, not allied with.

*sigh* :) well, it seems someone is going to be heavily ignored...

OOCly wonders if IBs couriousity about the Battleplate's hardware has been sufficently satisfyed to allow that part of the RP to continue?

OOC: To all those who know what the Gargantuan is, look out for the thread of me testing it on the swarms. Incase Swarms you dont know what i mean by that, i mean that iam going to crush you with the newest and most powerfull ship Shivan fleet. I was going to have it attack a battleplate but nah you need to die.

Also the Gargantuan aint the property of IB its the property of my puppet SPARTEN so just incase a few people are wondering on how IB could build it, ill let you know in advance. I didnt.

IC: The Shivan Lucifers appeared outside the Kanuckistans FTLi field, the Shivan warships confused at why their itended jump did not work began to open a pattern of concentrated fire upon the enemy battleplate. Fifteen flux cannons opened fire upon the enemy in a concentrated pattern while the entire micro missile store of each Lucifer was launched at the enemy platforms.

The remains of the Shivan fleet slowly began to exit back into subspace, over half the Shivan warships present in the battle were either destroyed or suffered heavy damage there was only one option for the Lucifer class warships that had just jumped in, to retreat as well.

The Wetland warship was playing into the Shivans hands, though the subspace shields were down on the aft section the Shivans knew that they would come in for the kill and attempt to target the hole in the defences. The Wetland vessel was entering a trap. In almost an instant as the Wetland warship opened fire on the damaged shivan warship, one Lucifer comitted a nano jump, the Shivan warship would appear at the rear of the Wetland vessel ready to pull it into subspace. The vast Shivan warship emerged from its subspace portal ready to destropy this worthy advisory to the Imperium.

OOC:
Uh, IB, you do know that using puppets to help you is known as puppet-wanking and is an ignorible offence, right? We're talking major godmod, regaurdless of scale.


IC:
Admiral Vitch sat up as five Shivan Lucifers apeared around his ship, instantly recalling an Ensign reporting a slight fluxuation in the ASPEW feilds only seconds befor; "Sneaky bastards," he mused aloud, as their fire begain to rain upon the Battleplate's Barrier Feilds; an officer reporting a 14% drop in strength from the sudden onslaught, "But not today; helm, LDS us back one-point-five kilo and interpose inversion fields. Tactical, warm up the gravy for our friends out there..."

And with a series of 'Aye's the Battleplate lutched away at a cee-fractional analog upon inertialess drives, gravitational sheer projectors warming up as the vessel came to a relative stop 1500 kilometers away from the Lucifers assigned to slay her and swung the 90 degree arc of her inversion field between them. Still the Slayer poured fire upon the main body of the Shivan fleet, until...

Without warning, six lances of raw, sheering gravitational force speared into two ships of the assembled Lucifer fleet; their obscenely high gravitational gradiants orders of magnitude in excess of those at a black hole's event horizon as they raked across the pair of enemy ships; gravitational energies, ignorant of what damage they wrought, continuing forth through their targets to eventually disipate 2500 kilometers distant.

OOC:
This is high force gradiant, artificially-induced gravity, hence it's tightly defined beam-like implimentation and short range.

When one of the Lucifers disappeared again the captain of the Zeus just knew they were trying the same manoeuvre again and he stuck with the manoeuvre that had saved them the last time. They didn't even get the chance to fire.

"Helm, maximum bend now and tell the Odin to follow!"

They engaged their engines and whisked away just before the Lucifer appeared again.

"Sir, these frequent jumps overheated the engines. FTL speed is unavailable for the next 5 minutes and the same goes for the Odin."
"Helm, turn 180 degrees and tell the Odin to follow. When the Ripper beam is charged fire at one of the remaining Lucifers."

A bright light and a boom the two Metallinaut ships appeared. "Lt. Bingham how long until reenforcements?" said Maxwell with biting anticipation. "Under two minutes sir" said Bingham. "Bingham open a channel to the Frantic." said Maxwell . "Channel open" retorted Bingham. "Captain active plan 'Last Resort Diplomacy'" said Maxwell heavy heartedly. "Aye, Aye sir." said Captain . With that the Enterprise moved forward to help the Wetland vessel and the Frantic activated the phased cloak.
OOC: I am not a n00b puppet wanker/number wanker/god modder/power gamer.

Bump!

BIZZUMP!!

The conventional Shivan fleet now sitting ducks for the ESUS forces began to move back into subspace. The blue of the portals reflected of the red hull of the ships creating a tranquil yet disturbing scene. The majority of the Shivan ships had now left the carnage of the system and moved back to subspace.

The Lucifer fleet also joined their comrades in arms, however two of the vast destroyers were hit by a weapon from a Kanuckistan battleplate. Slowly the body of the warships began to twist and turn as they moved into subspace (The Lucifers are moving away to avoid your FTLi field) The vast hulks of ships left the system, silence ensued where only moments before a titanic struggle had taken place.

The order of the bump is the way of the future.

-OOC-

Bump. Bump. Bump. Doka-doo, doka-doo, BUMP BUMP BUMP.

OOC-Seeing as the Shivans are retreating, is this battle effectively over?

Perhaps there should be a new thread set up for the next phase of the war. Seeing as how this thread was labled "The Beginning".

Bump until everyone decides what the hell to do. Perhaps the new thread should be titled "ESUS/Shivan war- The Subspace Campaigns"

OOC: I think this is a .::TAG::., but since this thread seems pretty much over I don't know why I bother

tag

Interesting battle...most interesting.

Bump until everyone decides what the hell to do. Perhaps the new thread should be titled "ESUS/Shivan war- The Subspace Campaigns"


I concur with this idea.

The main battle seems to moved over to the "Shivan attack or Normaniecht" thread. Hell, IB even has his worldship there. :P
