The Emperor sat at his desk, reading a technical document given to him all about moon stones.

"So... they are effectively a little like Urainium..."

"Yes my Emperor... except they don't give off any radioactive fallout... they are perfectly safe to even handle... and yet one moon stone can power one of the Valuan Empires Airships for 3 years..."

"Facinating... you have found the source of the most powerful moon stones?"

"We have indeed my Emperor... within the desert lands of Nasr, we can find The red moon. Red moon stones give off a great deal of heat, but also are the most powerful moon stone of all... They also have destructive properties..."

"And what of these Green Moon stones I have herd about?"

"My Emperor, The stones from the green moon seem to have medicinal properties... they could be used in medical science..."

"Well, we have access to the Moon stones under the Red moon, thanks to the base they let us set up... but I would like to get those Green moon stones into Imperial Hands... of course, we'll have to be careful... we don't want to look like we're taking over..."

The Emperor snapped his fingers.

"Guards! Bring me a datapad! I wish to type and send a message to the Valuans! Have Imperial Patrol group Beta Take the message to them!"

"Yes my Emperor! A once!"

The Guards scuttled down the corridor...

"Heh heh heh... soon, the green moon stones will belong to us..."

-Message for the Valuan Empire, Written by the Emperor himself!-

Greetings, oh mighty Emperess... I trust you are in good health. The reason for my message is simple... I wish to request that The Imperial Navy be allowed to set up a base in the lands under the green moon... We wish to obtain Green moon stones for medicinal purposes... they would be very useful in out Armada. Give my regards to Admiral Ramirez.

"Emperess?"

"What is it guard."

A message has come from you. The Imperial Navy has sent it to us.

"Well, hand it over!"

The Emperess read the message quickly, and then stopped for a moment...

Then in a fit of rage, she threw the message against the wall in anger.

"WHAT? There will be no deal! I give them a place on our planet, and they want more???"

"Em..Em.. Emperess?"

"Summon my Scribe. Have this message delivered to the Imperial Base in Nasrad at once."

"Yes Emperess."

Reply:

We have given you a base on our planet. Now you request more. You will not and will never have access to our fertile Green lands. Continue these demands, and we shall cast you from your base in Nasr too. You are on our world, and we expect some respect from you.

-Her high Emperess Teodora I.-

"Heh heh heh... So they are fools."

"We can take them by force My Emperor."

"That will not be nessecary. Send this message back, and ensure that she gets it."

"I understand My Emperor."

-Message To The Valuan Empire, Emperess Teodora I.-

Such a shame that you reject our request. If you do not give us the go-ahead, we may have to deny you access to our Jumpgate, the one thing that allows you access to Earth. It'd be a shame to have to do this... but we won't if you Give us a base under the Green moon. I hope this will pursuade you... after all, think of all those poor Valuans that would be trapped on Earth... I hope you come to your senses.

-Message ends-

Near Arcadia, Imperial Patrol group Delta stationed itself in front of the Jump gate, with orders to turn any Valuan ships around...

"ARRRRAAAHHHH! That scum!"

The Emperess ranted and raved and threw everything she could at her advisor.

"Emperess, PLEASE!"

"Hmph... so what do you say we do?"

"The Valuan Armada is invincible** my Emperess... let us destroy their puny blockade, and take the jumpgate by force!"

"I like the way you think. Very well. Send the Armada to take the gate. Notify me when the battle is over. And send troops to kill the Imperial Researchers in Nasr."

"Yes Emperess... and the base?"

"Destroy it too."

A few hours later

The Armada assembled. 1 Delphinus Class Airship, and 25 Valuan Cruiser-class airships (Hey, i'm only little... but I might be able to take down a patrol group), All equipt with Silver moon stones for deep-sky flight. Now they could go into space and take on the Imperial Navy.

Admiral Ramirez was leading the attack from the Delphinus.

"Admiral, the fleet is ready to get underway."

"Good. Get us underway. Has the attack on the Imperial Research base begun?"

"Yes sir. they are being attacked by a cruiser-class airship." (Armed with 8 Valuan Cannons and an Arcwhale torpedo launcher.)

"Good. Load our torpedo launchers, and prepare the new Cannons." (Modified cannons for space fighting.)

"Yes Admiral. At once."

**The Armada is NOT invincible. That's just Valuan Big-headedness. But they are powerful.

"Are they really this foolish?"

"It appears so, My Emperor, we do outnumber them."

"My only concern is that we're going to lose some fine men from that research station... i'll bet they're already dead."

"But in return we will occupy Valua, my Emperor... this is the excuse we need to invade Arcadia in all out war."

"I like the way you think. Very well, summon the full force of the fleet, and crush the Valuans."

"Yes My Emperor."

At the research station...

Gordon chipped away another chunk from the red moon stone he was testing.

"I'm having my Lunch Gord, you gonna be ok?"

"No probs. enjoy those Sky sardis."

Gordon went back to work... then came the cry...

"Look! The Armada is on the move!"

Gordon looked out the window... a large group of Valuan airships were heading above the clouds...

"Where the heck are they going?"

One airship did not head upwards, instead closing on Nasrad...

"They're attacking us again? why?" Cam the cry of one Nasran.

"RUN!" Came another cry.

Gordon could only watch as a Cannon shell shot towards the base... and then there was darkness.

Tagoo...

OOC: Hey can i join in this?? Im confused about what you guys are rping as. Are you rping as the Star wars Imperial Navy or some other imperials

OOC: Hey can i join in this?? Im confused about what you guys are rping as. Are you rping as the Star wars Imperial Navy or some other imperials

Me-My own technology

The Valuan Empire-Skies of arcadia (A Gamecube game)

OOC: Would you mind if i used starwars ships?? When ever i try to make up a ship of my own it ends up like s deformed baby

The Delphinus soared through space, nearing the edge of the Solar system.

"Distance to enemy fleet?"

"25,000 leagues Admiral. Cannons are in range."

"Fire. Target the flagship."

"Yes sir."

There were several bright flashes as the cannons came to life. Blast after blast soared into the enemy Flagship.

(Thats 25 Cruisers, each with 8 Cannons and an Arcwhale Torpedo launcher, and the Delphinus has 12 Cannons, 5 Secondary cannons, 2 Hailfire Torpedo launchers, and the Moonstone cannon [Got the same strengh as a Star Wars Turbolaser I suppose].)

OOC: Would you mind if i used starwars ships?? When ever i try to make up a ship of my own it ends up like s deformed baby

OOC: This is our actual Nations Rp'ing, not a little game. If you want to take part, you need to use your nation.

OOC: tag, possible jump to participation, mebbe

(Using the moonstone cannon eh? that'd be a cool RP... this gives me a brainwave...)

The Salamander, The Flagship leading the Patrol group was quick to take damage, cannon blasts ripping deep into the armour plating... Although still intact, she was badly damaged...

Alarm sirens rang out along the decks. Crew struggled to extinguish fires that had broken out on every deck, and the Admiral was shaken.

"I've never seen such power from a foe."

"Admiral, weapons are still on line, as are communications. Engine power is down to 40%, and Reports are comming in of fires all over the ship. Orders?"

"Return fire! Order the fleet to do the same. Send message home, Reinforcements required at once!"

"Aye sir!"

The fleet fired back, en masse, with everything at their disposal. Laser blasts darted from every ship into the Valuan Armada.

"Sir... what is that pink light?"

"Look... The Delphinus!"

A rather oversized cannon emerged from the front of the enemy flagship... it powered up a powerful pink light, and then...

The Salamander was torn apart as the cannon ripped through every deck, annihilating the flagship in a shower of flame.

(The flagship did get it's weapons off first. All ships targeted the Delphinus in revenge... ooh this is gonna hurt. I have the Salamander, a Razor class Battlecruiser, firing 50 Razor cannons at you. These are basicly powerful lasers. It also has 8 Volcano Missile lanchers. Then we have 40 Helios class light frigates, each firing 20 Light Blaster cannons and 2 Volcano Missiles. And reinforcements are on the way...)

(OUCH.)

"What... In the moons..." Ramirez could only stare in horror as the enemy ships all trained their guns on the Delphinus.

She simply vanished in a flash of light.

On seeing this, The remainder of the fleet lost all stomach for battle. They ceased fire, turned tail and ran... for the first time in history, The Valuan Armada was in full retreat...

Occupation of Valua by the Imperial Navy seemed unavoidalble.

A new Razor Class Battlecruiser, the Fearless came out of the Jumpgate, with another 30 Helios Light cruisers.

"This is Admiral Erinson, go ahead Captain"

"The enemy is in full retreat, but they did destroy the Salamander first. In return, we destroyed their flagship, the Delphinus. request permission to pursue and destroy."

"Permission granted. with their fleet gone, nothing will stand in the way of our occupation of Valua."

"Rodger that."

The now enlarged fleet pursued, firing blast after blast at the now retreating Valuans. There would be no escape...

Despite the attempt to flee by the Valuan fleet, there was no hope. The fleet was pursued, gunned down one by one.

Just before the last ship was taken down, it sent a message back to Valua...

"All is lost."

(The next section of the RP has been arranged between me and TVE.)

"Emperor! message from the fleet. The space battle is over-Victory is ours!

"Good, but we still have a ground assault to fight... and the one thing I hate is civilian casualties... so needless."

"The Valuans have proved to be very agressive-it will be a tough fight, my Emperor."

The Emperor swiveled in his chair, staring out his window to the glory of Imperial City.

"So tell me, what is this 'Grand Fortress'?"

The advisor turned and smirked.

"Ah, That is a very interesting question, my Emperor. The grand fortress completely covers the Valuan capital and palace, and it is said to be inpenetrable... to projectile weapons."

"Hmm... so what you're saying is, you doubt the fortress will withstand bombardment from the full force of the fleet."

"Precisely, My Emperor."

"Make it clear I do not want the Emperess to be harmed, and civilian casualties must be minimised at all costs..."

The advisor gave the royal bow

"As you wish, My Emperor."

"Also-Ready my flagship. I will go to arcadia myself, with patrol group Primus. I wish to meet this Emperess... I have a plan."

"EMPERESS! EMPERESS!"

"Yes, what is it? have we won the battle yet?"

"Emperess, the fleet has been totally destroyed!"

"WHAAAT?!!?"

"Emperess, we must summon the troops at once! The Imperials are preparing for a ground assault!"

"They will never break through the grand fortress... NEVER!"

"Emperess, if they can crush out armada, they will have no problem in bringing down the Grand Fortress!"

The Emperess clearly looked distressed.

"Grrrr.... Summon the guard. Prepare for ground assault."

"Yes Emperess."

The Guard ran down the corridor as fast as he could.The Emperess began to swell up with tears.

"Goodbye... Ramirez. May you rest in peace..."

OOC: very interesting. A good RP. Shame I read this too late...

OOC: very interesting. A good RP. Shame I read this too late...

It aint over yet... we got a ground assault to fight...

OOC: Yeah, but It's too late for me to get involved!

OOC: Yeah, but It's too late for me to get involved!

You can still get involved-theres still going to be some more air and space fighting-you'll see.

On the Bridge of the Fearless, all of the fleet leaders had met to plan the ground invasion.

"So Admiral, where will we be landing?" Asked one Captain.

"hmm... here, near the city of Nasrad. The Valuans are holed up in the main cities, so capturing them should be our priority."

"Yes Admiral." yelled the entire group.

"Now remember people. We win this war, and all the Moons and their precious moon stones are ours. Remember that the Emperess must be taken ALIVE. that is a direct order from our Emperor, Blessed be his name. Minimise civilian casualties at all costs, and ensure that you do your best to capture the enemy, not kill them."

"Yes Sir!" The group yelled again.

"Ok, move out! get to your drop pods and drop ships."

OOC: Tag, maybe interested in joining

Could some of you taggers please actually get involved if you intend to keep tagging my thread.

OOC; thinking of how I can, and on which side. Any ideas?

OOC; thinking of how I can, and on which side. Any ideas?

Well seeing as currently I and the Valuan Empire are the only ones who even know the co-ordinates of arcadia, you'll just have to RP you found the area.

IC: The crew were restless. They had been assigned a mission. The mole galaxies were at peace, meaning the Mole Space Corp moved onto one thing. Exploration.

The MDC Explorer entered Hyperspace. It had be travelling in no particular direction, but had disguised it's hyperspace path. A new System was noted on the long-range scanners. It had a few planets, including a red moon, and a green moon.

The crew were excited. The Captain ordered, 'Set a course for that system Let's find out why those moons are such... delightful colours' They soon arrived, and we surprised by what they met.

OOC: The MDC is a huge Capital ship. Well armed, and sheilded. it also ahs 6 squadrons of starfighters. Weapons are not active yet.

OOC: There are 6 moons... Red, Green, Silver, Blue, Yellow, and Purple. If you need to know a fair ammount about Arcadia, Read a review of the game "Skies of Arcadia." That is what the Valuan Empire is playing in...

IC: Imperial Patrol group Beta was on patrol above Arcadia while the assault took place on Nasrad.

"Sir, reading a ship comming out of Lightspeed."

"Valuan?"

"No. Unidentified. It's no ship i've ever seen."

"Send them a message. Ask them what the hell they are doing here and how they found this system. If they learn what we're up to, they may try to intervene."

"Yes sir."

-Message to unidentified Capital ship-

Unidentified ship. you are in Imperial Territory. Explain how you got here, and why you are here. Please respond.

-End Transmission-

OOC: Thanks.
IC:'This Captain Strider, The MDC Explorer is a exloration vessel. Entry into your space was accidental. Request permission to leave system and move on'

The crew were disappointed. They wanted to do something. However, the captain couldn't risk an open battle.

'sir'
'What!'
'It appears that the ships are preparing for an invasion. Should we help!'
'NO! We don't want to get involved. We must leave quickly.'

"Negative exploration vessel. We know you have scanned our invasion craft. To defend our interests, I'm afraid we must detain you and your ship until the battle is over."

Imperial Patrol group beta, consisting of 1 Razor class battlecruiser and 40 Helios class light frigates moved into a blocking position in front of the explorer ship. In the meantime, drop-pods and dropships continued onward to the planet.

"Comply and follow our orders, and you will be free to leave when this event is over. We do not want to be forced to turn our guns on innocent explorers... we know this was an accident, but we can't allow any outside intervention. Help us out, and we'll allow you to visit the planet when the battle is over."

The Captain watched on the sensors as the ships advanced. I should allow then to detain the vessel, although the top brass won't like a mole vessel, but is worth a war... No, no way. However... he looked at his crew. They wern't the most loyal crew he had ever had...
Would they mutiny if I submitted... maybe we could leave and go back the way we came if we make them think twice about attacking us
'All hands to battle stations! Arm lasers!'
'Target?'
'None. Let them now we mean business. Perpare to enter hyperspace, return to mole space!'
'8 minutes sir.'
'Open a channel'

'Negative, we can not stop here. we request permission to return to mole space. We shall not interfer...'

"I was afraid of this-activate the gravity well"

(A gravity well is an invisible magnetic field, stopping ships from entering hyperspace. only the Razor-class Battlecruiser has one.)

"They're arming weapons!"

"What? no-one would be insane enough to attack 41 ships! Especially a patrol group of Capital ships!"

"They have a fighter compliment sir."

"So do we, and the Emperor has given me orders not to let anyone escape if they are detained."

"But we risk a war if we destroy them."

"Maybe we do, but I doubt somone would be stupid enough to lay down the lives of his crew to try and escape."

Explorer vessel. you have no hope of escape. Please, just stand down and await instructions. We really do not want to have to hurt you.

OOC: If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?

If somone tells you they are a pathalogical liar, do you believe them?

Do you watch Braniac, Science abuse, and if so, didd you steal them from that show?

OOC:

Do you watch Braniac, Science abuse, and if so, didd you steal them from that show?

yes.

The wing of the Chronosian battlefleet moved through the void; exploring, colonising, inslaving and liberating...They were the bastion of humanity throughout the Universe.
The ship paused; detecting an anomaly as it approached, a strange system, several glimmering colored moons.
"My lord; we seem to have found something....But we also detect foreign craft nearby"
"Their allegience?"
"We do not know..."
"Have the fleet on high alert, weapons armed, shields raised, but do not initiate hostilities. Began analysis of the spheres of this this."
"Aye lord, for the Emperor."

OOC: I know what a gravity well generator is...

IC: 'Sir! They've activated a gravity well generator!'
'What! Dam... Which ship is admitting it.'
'Scanning now... (Tell me which ships are, and how big they are)'
'Hmm...' the captain thought. He wasn't sure how fast the enemy were, but maybe they could run away at impulse speed.
'Turn around. Retreat at full impulse. Prepare to lauch fighters. I wish those Hyper fighters were ready for action... We could use them here.'
'Sir? Theirs 41 ships, all with fighters. Even for An MDC that would be suicide.'
'Maybe, but we only intend to escape, not fighter. If go down, we mioght take a HELL of alot of them with us...'
The crew' sprits were high. They were fully behind their captain...

Just as the patrol group was preparing for possible combat, more potentially hostile ships arived. But then the Jumpgate came on line, and as requested earlier, Imperial Patrol groups Alpha, Delta, Gamma and Primus came through the swirling vortex.

"The Imperial Fleet has assembled. Prepare for possible combat."

The fleet now consists of:

1 Juggernaught Class Heavy Battleship
15 Razor-Class Battlecruisers
200 Helios class light frigates
1000 each of fighters, Interceptors and Bombers

"This is serious. How could 2 different fleets find this system?"

"The chances are remote. Prepare for combat!"

-Message to Unidentified fleet-

You are in restricted space. Identify yourselves. Why are you here, and what are you doing?

-end transmission

OOC: LOL, I'm hardly a fleet. 1 Mole class destroyer?

IC: The appearence of another fleet was good news.
'Set a intercept course towards that new fleet. We may be able to ;hide' amongst their ships, or, escape in the confusion...'
'New course set.'
The reinforcements worried Strider. He knew that he had to destroy the ships emitting the Gravity well generators. He was too far away from mole space to request reinforcement...

The Admiral sat and thought of his options... then a commline came through.

"Sir, urgent message from the Emperor."

The Admiral read fast, then became very alert.

"Signal that ship now!"

-Message to explorer vessel-

The Emperor has given us orders to allow you safe passage. We also apologise, as we now realise you are no threat. Your nation will recieve compensation for the lost time. Safe journey.

-end transmission-

"Now, lets await the new fleets reply."

The Captain was relieved. Hyperspace procedure. 7 minutes until we leave... he thought

OOC: I'll give V time to respond to my presence...

OOC: He's gone offline... this will be a very long 7 minutes...

OOC: yeah, but i have to give him a chance to respond...

The Commander smiled as he recieved the message.
"We are the exploration wing of the Chronosian Imperium's Battlefleet. We are currently analysing the odd mineral moons here. We request safe passage...Identify yourselves"

"This is the Grand Armada of the Imperial Navy, The Emperor has granted you safe passage from the system. You are not to approach Arcadia at all costs."

"Then be so kind as to inform us what Arcadia, and this place is. We are on a mere exploratory mission. If we were to be harmed, the Emperor's wrath would fall on you and this entire system"

"Then be so kind as to inform us what Arcadia, and this place is. We are on a mere exploratory mission. If we were to be harmed, the Emperor's wrath would fall on you and this entire system"

"Do not speak so agressively. Suffice to say this system is part of The Imperial Navy. Good day."

The commander smiled.
"Well, if this part of their empire, then we should stay away."
"Aye sir."
"Record all results and transmit them back to teh Imperium, have them send a second copy to the Unified Sith....This may interest them"

"Now this has been dealt with, let us continue the invasion. How many troops are now on the planets surface?"

"Aproxamatly 200,000 sir. All armed."

"Good. It should be sufficient to take Nasrad. Begin the attack."

"Scans complete....Evidence of hostilities on the surface."
"Really...So thats why they want to keep everyone out; their launching an invasion"
"It would appear so my lord."
"Well, transmit on an encoded frequency, on a different channel from these Imperials....Ask about the situation, and offer assistance if we can"

"Sir, they have scanned the planet"

"Jam all communication frequencies... we can't allow them to get help."

"Sir, a blocking frequency appears to be in place."
"Damn..."
"My lord; is there anything we can truly do?"
"No...Not at this moment; back off to a safe distance and rescan the moons; what gives them their color?"
"Mineral deposits my lord..."
"I see. We will stay out of the fire for now"

The captain waited. It would be about 1 minute before hyperspace could be entered.

'Could you simulate a hyperspace malfuction?'
'Yes sir. Why?'
'I want to inspect these moons. What gives them a bizarre colour... However, i don't want to appear obvious. 'Malfunction' in the middle of those moons.'
'Yes sir!'

Hyperspace was engaged, and, as arranged, disengage in the middle of the sector.
'Let's see what TIN makes of this!'

"Admiral, The Explorer ship has dropped out of hyperspace-It looks like a malfunction."

The Admiral rose to his feet.

"What is their position?"

"They have stopped near the moons, Admiral."

The Admiral smiled.

"Nice try. But i'm not stupid. Contact that ship."

-Message to Explorer vessel-

Nice try, but we are not stupid. You are ordered to leave at once, or we will be forced to open fire-you will not stand a chance-GET OUT of our system, and stop trying to be inquisitive. If you leave now, a full data readout on the moons will be sent to your government. If you value the lives of your crew, avoid needless bloodshed and leave now.

-end transmisson

All across the city of Nasrad, troops were running left and right, arming their weapons, preparing cannons, and Making their peace. There was no way to win this war, but the Emperess had ordered a fight to the last man.

The General In charge of Nasrad grabbed his own weapon, a blade made of pure Red moonstone. Elsewhere, the troops were armed with Guns that fire Red moonstone.

"Alright men, lets give them a taste of the Valuan Empire!"

"YAAAAAAAARRRRR!" Came the reply.

Of the 20,000 stationed in Nasrad, there would most likely be less than half by the end of the day...

"Enemy in sight!" Yelled a lookout.

The General snatched a pair of Binoculars and stared out to the desert. he could make out armoured columns, lots of infantry and even bombers incomming...

"Battle positions!"

20 Imperial Bombers swung into view of Nasrad.

"This is Blue leader... I can see the target."

The target was the embattlements and walls, where the wall-mounted anti-armour weaponary was(I am told it is some kind of Moonstone cannon).

"What the... Base 1 this is Blue leader. Enemy has anti-air weaponary. taking evasive action."

The Bomber group split, missing most of the Fire. But 4 Bombers were caught and exploded with their bombs in the air, creating a giant blue light.

"We'll get them back for that. Bombs away!"

The Bombers hit their target, and retreated. It was up to the Infantry now. Bombers had been called back to make bombing runs on the Grand Fortress...

The General Shielded his eyes as the Bombs came in.

"AAAHHHHHHHH!"

The smoke cleared, and the General looked around. The walls had been devastated, the cannons silenced, and 37 of his men dead.

"Damn... How are we supposed to stop those tanks now..."

a lowly Valuan soldier turned to him.

"Sir, We do still have 1 airship left... we could attack them with that..."

"And reveal it to the Imperials? They'd shoot it down before it had a chance. I will deploy it... but we have to wait for the perfect time. On my signal, send in the Airship."

"Yes sir."

"Ok men! This battle just got tougher. They're almost in range. Prepare to fire!"

The captain was disappointed. He thought he could get away with it...
'Nice try. Plot a course for the mudium sector!'
'Sir!'
'A course was plotted, and, in a few seconds, they entered hyperspace, and lef tthe system. However, they were careless. If anyone checked their sensors carefully, they could track the MDC's hyperspace path...

"They've gone sir."

"Good work Ensign. Prepare to send down our bombers. The attack on the Grand fortress gate is underway."

In Nasrad:

Imperial Eagle tanks screeched across the flat desert plain towards the city of Nasrad, while fighters attacked the Nasrad docks, preventing any evacuations.

The Eagle tanks fired their plasma missiles into the walls, While the troops surged forward, ready to swarm in through any holes made in the wall. The objective was simple-capture the Nasrad war leader.

"Remember-avoid civilian casualties at all costs-fire only if they have a gun."

More transports arrived in the distance, dropping Imperial Falcon tanks and AA guns. This planet was of great Importance to the Empire, and it would most certainly fall soon.

(There are now 100,000 troops heading towards Nasrad, and 200 Imperial Eagle tanks, with another 150 Falcon tanks behind. The Eagles have fired their plasma missiles at the walls-two missiles to each tank.)

The General watched in horror as dozens apon dozens of purple missiles slammed into the walls, blowing more of the wonderfully designed walls to smithereens. another 214 men were caught in the blasts, screaming in agony as the skin peeled from their bodies.

"Bastards!" Screamed the General. "How could you use such cruel weapons!"

The General raised his Binoculars once more, scanning the landscape. He could see the armoured column and troops advancing on the crumbled walls.

"It is time. Call in the Airship!"

"Aye sir!"

A loud noise fell over the city, and then the mighty airship flew over Nasrad. Targeting the Armoured columns, the Airship fired salvo after slavo, torpedo after torpedo into the crowded Imperial Troops.

"This should thin out their numbers a bit. But we just played our last trump card. That airship won't be in the air for long."

The men watched as the Airship hovered above them.

"INCOMMING!"

Mighty explosions caused the dust to rise high, and yells and screams could be herd. When the dust settled, 532 men were dead, and 37 Eagle tanks were nothing more than twisted metal.

Almost instantly the AA guns came to life, bombarding the Airship with missiles and Flak.

(50 AA guns-25 Flak, 25 Missile.)

The airship was breached in several places, it's hull rippped and rended apart. It exploded in a shower of flame, covering the Imperial troops in debris.

"Well, it helped, but it's not good enough. I will not be responsible for so much death. Send the surrender to the Imperials. and inform the Emperess that Nasrad has fallen."

"Sir... are you sure you wish to surrender?"

The General turned to the lowly trooper, and gave a weak smile.

"I don't think we have much choice boy. Besides, our deaths would be in vain, and I don't want your blood on my hands."

The trooper smiled back, and ran towards the communications shed.

Message to Imperial Commander, URGENT

The Valuan Nasrad division surrenders to The Imperial Navy. We have no hope of victory, and hope to avoid needless bloodshed. Please, spare our lives, and we shall be your prisoners.

message ends.

The force commander read the message, then grinned from ear to ear.

"Order our troops to cease fire and take the city. Make sure they take all the weapons from the Valuans and then leave them. They have no will to fight any more-they are no threat."

"At once Commander!"

-Reply to Valuan troops in Nasrad-

We accept your surrender. Our troopers will seize the city now. You are ordered to hand over your weapons to Imperial Troops, then return to your homes and stay there. Martial law is now in effect on Nasrad. We have no need for prisoners who are not a threat. Thank you for making a wise choice, as we can now avoid much needless bloodshed. Good day.

-Transmission ends-

Imperial troops marched throught the streets of Nasrad, taking weapons from the Valuan troops as they went. The Valuans then stepped into their homes and were sealed in.

"Nasrad is ours. Prepare the attack on the grand fortress, and send message to the Emperor he may land in Valua soon."

"Yes Force Commander."

The Commander looked out across the city of Nasrad. Thanks the the surrender, the city was mostly intact.

"Bring me the General who was in charge of Nasrad."

Suddenly, a small fleet exited from hyperspace. It was MDC explorer again, with 3 Mole class frigates, and 2 interdictors.
'Prepare to advance deeper into this area of space'
'Sir. Waght happens if they activate GWG?'
'Then we'll just have to activate our own then!'

OOC: Determined to get my planet, aren't you?

IC: "Sir, that explorer ship is back-and she's got friends."

"Activate the gravity well generator. This time there will be no escape. We warned them..."

The Admiral sighed

"I was hoping we could avoid this bloodshed, but it seems we have no choice. How many ships?"

"Six Admiral."

"They don't stand a chance. Why are they so determined? Oh well, we have no choice. Power weapons. Order them to stand down or be destroyed."

The Chronosian fleet had made its decision; as the Moleland fleet moved in, so did the Chronosians; their Star Destroyers setting lose hordes of TIE fighters and other craft of the Imperium.
"Hail and well met, ally of The Galactic Empire" Was the message sent to Moleland "Where do you need us?"

The Sith Lord, Lavir Dra stood upon the deck, smiling lightly.
"At last, sometihng to look forward to. Send the Following message to the enemy; That anyone who engages a ship of the Galactic Empire shall be fired on; then ask what the hostilities on the planet constitute..."

The mole fleet did want a fight. However, they sent a messege to the Chronosians, 'We will accept a truce between us, if TIN attack us'

'Ok' said the Captain, 'Order the interdictors to activate our GWG'
'Done sir'
'Transmit this messege, 'TIN fleet, we wish to pass thorugh this sector. We do not wish to fight. De-activate your GWGs so we can move through. We will protect ourselves...'

(Don't attack TIN guys-we're preparing for somthing big to happen-you'll see if you wait.)

Message to alien fleets

Get out of the system. This does not concern you. This is a matter involving the Imperial Navy and The Valuan Empire, and we have no need for outside assistance. We are safe within the grand fortress, and do not wish for more outsiders to enter. Come near any valuan forces and you shall be fired apon.

-end transmission-

(I will solve this problem.)

Just as the Imperial fleet prepared to fire, a giant fortified mass of metal settled itself between the 2 fleets. This is the Armageddon Class Battlefortress, Flagship of the Emperor himself. (Most heavily armed warship in the Imperial fleet-roughly the size of a Super Star Destroyer, and the only one i'll ever have.)

The Emperor spoke through a general frequency commlink.

"I have seen all that has transpired here, and am rather amused. I will now explain to you what is going on with the planet. We are engaged in war with the natives as they launched an unprovoked attack on our fleet. We gave them access to our jumpgate to Earth, and they gave us a base. We asked for one more base, and they sent their "Armada" to attack us. We did not provoke this (LIAR! We blocked access to the Jumpgate unless they gave us the base, but you don't know that... :D ), and in retaliation we will seize control of a clearly agressive people and tame them.

To apologise for my Admirals agression, we will allow you access to investigate the moons, provided you stay away from the planet, and allow Imperial escort. You will even be permitted to take samples. These moons have strange qualities, and i'm afraid my Admirals capitalist nature got the better of him, as he saw this as a money making opertunity for himself. The Admiral will be relieved of duty at once and sent back to Earth. Again, I am sorry for the actions of my people. Now if you excuse us, we have a war to finish."

The Emperor turned off the commlink.

"Orders, My Emperor?"

"Execute that foolish Grand admiral, and place his subordiate in charge. Have him continue the attack, and prepare to bring down the grand fortress. And remember, I want the Emperess alive, as I wish to meet her in person."

"Yes, My Emperor, it will be done."

"Bring me the General who was in charge of Nasrad."

The General reluctantly gave away his moonstone pistol and rifle, and was then taken and thrown before the Imperial Force commander.

"So..." He spluttered, spitting sand from his mouth "You wish to see my death personally, do you? I won't give you the satisfaction of pleading for mercy. Just kill me and get it over with."

The messege was recieved by the crew of the mole fleet.

The captain ordered his interdicotrs to deactivate their GWG.

'We will leave this system, but may his holiness please request his fleet to deactivate their gravity well generators.'

OOC: Shame, I wa slooking forward to a fight, but now there isn't a reason.

The Commander slapped the trooper who had thrown the general to the ground. he then extended his hand to help the General up.

"Arise my friend. I have no intention to kill you. In fact I wish to thank you. You have saved me much needless killing and spilled blood, and I have never met a man with a greater tactical mind. When this is over, I hope you join us in the Imperial Space core... we could use a man like you."

He nodded to a trooper, who handed him a data pad.

"You need to sign this, to make your surrender official."

Location: The Grand fortress.

Another bomber wave launched missiles at the Fortress, to no avail. The fortresses heavy reinforced armour was impenetrable to Imperial Bombs. All that happened is that the defensive cannons killed over 40 pilots.

"All bombers-withdraw from the Grand Fortress. An Imperial Razor Battleship is going to fire a Heavy Laser cannon at the fortress-it should rip it apart."

"Rodger home base. Okay people you herd the commander, Blue Squadron, return to base."

The Bomber squadron roared away from the fortress.

Then a bright green light descended from the sky and smashed into the Grand Fortress...

The messege was recieved by the crew of the mole fleet.

The captain ordered his interdicotrs to deactivate their GWG.

'We will leave this system, but may his holiness please request his fleet to deactivate their gravity well generators.'

OOC: Shame, I wa slooking forward to a fight, but now there isn't a reason.

"We shall do so immediatly. you are clear to exit the system. Good luck out there."

The GWG were deactivated, and the ships returned to formation.

OOC: The Imperial Navy may seek to take this planet by any means nessecary, but we will not cause needless death. Conflict is avoided by any means nessesary within The Imperial Navy.

The Commander slapped the trooper who had thrown the general to the ground. he then extended his hand to help the General up.

The General Grabbed the Commanders hand, getting to his feet.

"Arise my friend. I have no intention to kill you. In fact I wish to thank you. You have saved me much needless killing and spilled blood, and I have never met a man with a greater tactical mind. When this is over, I hope you join us in the Imperial Space core... we could use a man like you."

"Very kind of you, but my heart belongs with the Valuan Empire. When this war is over, I will continue to serve my people."

He nodded to a trooper, who handed him a data pad.

"You need to sign this, to make your surrender official."

"Very well" The General grunted, signing without hesitation.

But as he finished, his vision was blinded by a powerful green light...

At the Grand Fortress...

A mighty green beam struck the Grand Fortress, ripping a mighty hole in the massive structure. The day was now clearly over for The Valuan Empire.

Within, the Emperess sat at her throne while the ground around her quaked.

"Quick! while we still have power! send the general surrender!"
