To the Casual eye, a Tsurani looks no more then a child, their bodies, face and size all look the age of 8 even when they are almost 2 000 years old. The Outside can be deciving. The Tsurani are a race that purity of mind, compleatly clear nural paths, and a large amount of venom. THe Tsurani body moves almost 10 times the speed of a human, combinde this with 2 venom fangs, and 4 injectors on each arm, they are exreamly dangorus. The Whole problem, however, is the fact every day is a battle against a creature that once ruled them as if they where one, the Overmind. Now, 10 Tsurani lost the battle, and went unoticed, their brains linked as one. They made a plan, and locked the Dragon Freeze cells for one year, then started the infection. After one city fell to the Overmind, the Dragons where attempted to open, but due to the 10s trechery, the Tsurani race would be lost by the time they would wake. The Overmind infected the STsurani at a rate unknown before, and withing 6 mounths three of 4 worlds where lost. Emperor Arkyla knew he must destroy the race, and thus it was this time that he mounted the Dragon Ship, carrier of the Dragon's and left the last planet. That was one week before now, and in the next hour an entire Galaxy will cease to exist.


Arkyla looked at his Galaxy. He, the first Human Emperor, had failed. He continued his plans, the Droid Systems on board his ship makeing the last cheaks, the final leg of the Tsurani race. THe Empire would contiune to surrive, but the Tsurani where dead. He sighed, and aimed the entire ships weapons systems at the Third rift Genorator, the one in the System chain witch would react.

"Cannon Charge?" He said in a gruff voice.

"Eighty Percent." Came the Droid reply.

"That Will do, Be ready to fire in 5-4-3-2-1-FIRE!"

The Ship Fired all weapons at the Genorator, witch when hit, dissapered, along with the Entire Galaxy in front of them. If one gained a rift generator, they could go to the universe, but the Rift had claimed the System, it was over for the Tsurani Race. The Ship turned, and Arkyla punched in the coordinets of the Planet he had Chosen. THe Planet of Medkima.

The Ship Entered the Rift, dissapering, if there had been gas to carry the sound, With a monstruse bang. It reappered in a different Galaxy Almost one Trillion Lightyears away in 6 seconds. THe Emperor Looked at the Planet, so like his native earth, yet so different. THe Population was only 2,671,000,000 Only a 12th of the Earth Population, and the People still where in the industrial age. His ship Glided down into the air and headed towards a large sea of the Coast of one of the failing nations. He landed on an island in the Dragon sea, and waited, soon his cargo would wake, but he needed more help. Thus he made his message.


[i]-To the Nations of Space,
I, ruler of the Tsurani Empire Has fallen, the Tsurani race fell, and At the moment I am by myself, waiting for the rest of my empire to gather on this world. I need aid, as over 100 million people are stranded without a nation. We need forces, to get a planet we know. Once we have the world, We will give you pay, but at the moment our reasorses are limited. PLEASE help us.
The Emperor Of Lessr Tsurani, the Old dead and New Old.

Three small ships came down, the bombers landing close to the dragon ship. Two people came out of each, their hair a dusty blond colour. They walked up and bowed to their Emperor. He looked at their bombers and sighed. He had three bombers, and a Destroier to force a planet to surrender. He motioned to the warriors, who sat and ate in scilence. Soon the Dragons would wake, he hoped they would help.

OOC Come on, I have seen 7 future tech nations post since I put this up, your not up to help a nation get a bloody planet.

As time went by, more ships arrived, some carring large amounts in gold, silver and other metals needed for construction, or bribes. The EMperor Looked at his Forces, They where small, pathetic, nothing would show they had once ruled an entire Galaxy, controling trillions of slaves. Now that galaxy was lost, forever encased to shadow and Darkness.

Three days later, the Emperor had 200 people, 2 frigates, 9 bombers, 20 fighters, and a tank, as well as the the Dragon Ship. Nothing, Until its Cargo was awakened, the Dragon ship could not be risked, and the Others could be wiped out. Besides, with no ground forces, they would not get far any way. The Tsurani where failing, now slaves rebeled, and his people where killed, the current Tsurani population was barly 300 thousand. He needed friends, allies, he needed and ARMY! He could hardly stand this. He sighed. Now He would have to send a message to the AoN, Something he wanted to avoid.

To the Allience of Naggaroth,
From The Tsurani Empire.
WE NEED HELP! Our forces are dead, our population dieing. We need reasorses, Forces, a god damn place to live. Please, we are in our darkest hour, and we have tried to be the best allies possible.
Emperor Arkyla.

The SDB is a beautifully sculptured mixture of the chromium covered
Nabooian Royal Cruiser, the Nabooian Diplomatic Barge & the Sith Scimitar
Infiltrator ( without the dark force ) Armed Courier.
If you can picture a ships hull that blends these three ship hulls together then you have a good picture of the awe inspiring beauty of this totally
redesigned masterpiece.
The Scimitar DB is a shining example of our marriage between art, design,
& ultra cutting edge technology built into this ship to protect your most
important dignitaries from sudden death among the stars.
The space frame is a double decked, single long supple curve winged hull
covered in Dark Chromium Abalative Armor.
Most impressive is the finely tuned, heavily modified Class 0.5 Hyperdrive Engines & twin Kor Gu-79 Ion Drive Engines that can propel the Scimitar to record breaking speeds. An extremely advanced long range sensor suite complete with bow, stern, port, starboard, ventral & dorsal visual scanners, jamming devices, sensor decoys, false transponder code relays, & multiple remote control slave circuits that can summon the barge over long distances.
The protection grid suite is complete with a Quad Defiant Class Pulse Phaser Cannons, Duel Quantum Torpedo Launchers, a KorSPHA-T Class Turbo
Laser, Quad Concussion Missile Tubes, Quad Rotating Laser Cannons, Kor Chromium Ablative Armor, Mini Cluster Bombs, Duel Shield Grids, & a Korimp Cloaking Device Generator. All weapons are linked through a Kor Scan OVC 73 Multiple Option " Shoot Back " targeting computer linked to a Electro Telescope that can be set to automatically shoot down any craft that opens fire on the Jh-439.

"Sir, security team has reached the hold...their seems to be some kind of...gold objects...solid gold...precious stones...looks like something out of an old pirate movie, Captain."

"How much is there?"

"Internal hold sensors are reading about 1/2 tons."

Nothing on long range at this time

What about surface readings Lt.

I'm picking up a continent with a society that is still in their Industrial Age,
the native population is approx. 2.67 Billion. The The Tsurani Empire is located on an island continent off the coast of the natives continent. I'm reading .... 200 million people .... and a small space force.

What type of ships are we talking about here Lt.

I read one destroyer, two frigates, nine bombers and twenty fighters.... oh
& one tank.

** That's fine if we can make it the that nebula ahead we should be able to
hide there long enough to make repairs, Captain Out **

Lt. Ceris have you been able to get any sensor readings on that damnable
ship.

Only enough to tell you that we are very much outgunned. There power source is of a type we have never before encountered. Luckily we can out run them if only barely. I'm not getting any bio-readings of anykind from them Sir. There is some good news however Captain.

Oh, and what might that be Lt.

I am reading a KorFleet Attack Squadron slowly gaining on our friends back
there.

Has the aliens picked them up?

No Sir I know they haven't

Oh Yes, the KorForce must be using their famous Phantom Cloaking Device.

That is my opinion Sir

I'm going to have to speak to the Admiral about asking the Queen to purchase us a few of those for us.

I've heard skuttlebutt that its aready in the works Sir

Well Lt. I hope your sources are correct

Captain we are about to enter the nebula

Great! Now we can make our repairs then go help KorForce kick some alien ass


OCC: I need someone who is willing to PR the alien craft pursuing the VIS Entente .... maybe we could somehow tie this attack into the events of this thread. I will be RPing VI's ship because she is involved in another thread that is taking all of her time.

The Tsurani call for assistance had been picked up by a New Exodus scout vessel, which had been en route to Yavin. As they approached, the comm. traffic and FTL signatures of the Kormanthor, Megas, and Virgin Incursion vessels drew their attention even more.

“Lets see what all the commotion is about,” said the Captain.

After reviewing the intercepted transcripts, he sat back and thought about the situation. We are too far away to provide active assistance to the Entente, but I think we could arrange to help these Tsurani. After all, the database says they were instrumental in getting us that Sewell Fuel, so we should return the favor.

TO: Emperor of the Tsurani
In acknowledgement of your peoples’ help in our gaining a vital resource,
we have relayed your situation to Commander Haase, and he has pledged
our assistance. It will take some time to organize such large-scale aid,
but in the meantime, we can help with your needs for mercenaries. By
fortunate coincidence, we are in contact with a young nation called
Black XIII, which specializes in mercenary services. They are already
being informed of your need, and will be on their way shortly.

Open a channel to the Emperor

Aye Aye Sir.... ' In a flash of hand movements the channel opens and the comunications officer speaks ' Channel open Captain.

* Emperor, this Is Captain Arellano I have already said that I would help. I
assumed that the gold was in payment for new ships that you wished us
to provide you with. I have noticed that you are in need of more ships &
equipment of your own. However, as I said before I will not attack an alien society that is still in their Industrial Age, it is against Kormanthor Law for me to do so. I still need to know what types of starships, fighters, etc... you wish to purchase. If however the Gold was a bribe to entise me to attack the natives of this world & you don't wish to purchase ships & equipment then I will have your gold returned to you.

The Emperor looked at his wording and swore. He was tired and over worked. He Sighed.

-To: The UKS Dark Raven
From: The Emperor
I am sorry, I was not implying that you would attack them, The Money was for the ships, supplys, and transport, as well for any forces you can provid as defencive units, to assist in the defence of the General Population. We would like to purchase some of the ships both like your Command ship, and the two escorts you have with you. We would also like acess to some of your ship building facilities, as we have a large number of our own design we need to create.Also, could you assist in the Blockading of the planet? Unless they have our athority, they should not enter, thank you.

To: The Soviet Leaders
From: The Emperor Of Lessr Tsurani
We understand your williness to help, and thank you. We could really use a Blockade of the planet, Along with The UKS Dark Raven and Its Escort. You will be rewarded in a large amont of gold. Arkyla

To: The Megan Ship ((Can't find name))
From the Emperor Of the Tsurani
We have yet to recive word, will you help us? Or will we take the gold back? We have locaters on it, so we can find you. Please, we need a reply. Arkyla.

THe Emperor Rubbed his face, sighing as he did. He felt drained, he had been awake for almost a Standered Earth week. The Lack had him on edge. He Went down and found one of his Eldar.

"I need you to watch the messages, I need to take a nap. Tell me when the defrostation begings will you?" He said all this is a weary voice.
"Yes sir." Said the Eldar in obidience.

The MIC Tristar slipped out of the hyperspace fold at the coordinates given by the Tsurani Emperor, escorted by 5 civilian transports. To Telasnor's surprise their was a large multinational prescence.

"Emperor Arkyla, we accept your payment. 5 transport ships are here with us, each with a capacity of 5,000 people. Until the rest of the 5th fleet arrives, we can only offer the protection that our Arclight-class vessel can give..."

*Fleet Admiral Eli Telasnor turned to ship's Captain Fleming.*

"Order the 5th fleet to rendevous here, and inform them that I will transfer my flag to the Halberd as soon as they arrive. Look's like you'll be getting your ship back sooner than you thought."

"Aye, sir."

Aye Aye Sir.... ' In a flash of hand movements the channel opens and the comunications officer speaks ' Channel open Captain.

* Emperor, this Is Captain Arellano I have good news from Admiral Acott
, he says he has contacted Admiral Catalona of AsterKore about your Executor Class Super Star Destroyer and two Imperial Star Destroyers. The billion dollars in gold has been excepted as your down payment for the ships in question.
Also you may expect delivery of all three vessels in less then a week
because AsterKore always keeps a few extra's around in case we lose a
vessel somehow. AsterKore is now in the process of finalizing the ships systems and gathering enough people to crew them for the delivery / maiden
voyage. Once we have delivered them to a parking orbit of this planet and
collected the remaining sum. I have been ordered to gate the crews back to
their points of origin, transport your crew to each vessel, then you may take delivery. Stats of your new ships will follow soon after.

OOC Ok, I am going to skip this ahead a bit. ALmost 2 hours.

Arkyla Woke, his mind filled with the excited psycic chatter of the Eldar he left in charge. He sighed as he rose. Walking into the dragon Craft.

"Sir" Said the Eldar "They are ready to be awoken." He could barly contain his excitment. The Emperor Smiled, now he could know the safty of his people. He walked over to the control pannel and started to speak.

"Computer, start to defrost the Dragons," He said with a large amount of excitment. "Raise the Cargo holds tempreture to 500 Degrees. Push out the Ice benches, start to defrost them." The COmputer did, and down below their was the sound of a large amount of craking.

In the Cargo hold, 4 000 ice blocks where sticking out on large metal platforms. The Room started to increase in heat, and the light turned a reddish brown. Very quickly, the ice started to melt, cracks appering in the ice across. The Ice turned to water extreamly fast, and the dragons where dry very soon after. Once all Dragons where done, one used its mind to lower the heat to a apropriate tempreture. The dragons started to strech, starting to wake up after a few Mellenia Asleep. Soon they would leave the ship, and the sea would be aptly named.

Fleet Com.:Read all the transmissions that had gone on ok they want us to blockade this planet ok Fleet get ready to hyperspace.

They were some of his finest, equipped with their ballistic armor and compact assault rifles. As the transports launched, Mordoc wished them well on their three-day journey to the Tsurani’s new planet.

ic> After months of travel and various military campaigns against the ESUS, Kalgar finally returned to his people. Despite there being no "victory", or defeat for the matter, Kalgar and his men were welcomed as heros. But perhaps they were heros. Strangly, the pointless battles faught against the AoN's long time rival, had actually resulted in peace. In addition to this, the extent of AoN space had doubled. However, the past wars with the ESUS were just that, past. When Kalgar returned, there were new troubles brewing.

In his absence, one of the greatest empires in the AoN fell into ruins. Lessr Tsurani, an empire whos power probobly matched, if not surpassed that of Gronde itself had been reduced to a single world. How had he let this happen? Kalgar blaimed himself for not directing his attention to these AoN domestic matters instead of other wars. However, again, the past could not be dwelled uppon so Kalgar looked to the future and was determined to help in any way he could. It was time for a personal meeting. Kalgar and a new fleet departed for the last world of the Tsurani empire and requested a meeting with the leadership.

Captain Roth paced the bridge of the Xanoth, a fine exploration ship sent into the depths of the galaxy regulalary by the Everqueen to find new inhabitable worlds in order to spread her mighty Kindom. Carrying 3 of their modified fighter wings the Xanoth was still a force to be reconned with.
"Captain" shouted a Luitenete "We have just picked up a scattered distress call on our long ranged sensores."
"Well," the captain boomed "Go ahead who was it from"
"Its from the Tsurani sir" He said in a confused voice.
"Great Scott I thought they were destroyed in the battle against the over mind," Roth exclaimed "Whats their problem"
"We dont know sir it was too distored"
"Quickly," he said ergently "Set coordinants for their location and hurry up Im going to go contact Queen Reola."

OCC: I need someone who is willing to PR the alien craft pursuing the VIS Entente .... maybe we could somehow tie this attack into the events of this thread. I will be RPing VI's ship because she is involved in another thread that is taking all of her time.

OCC: Actually you would be the logical one to do the natives as well as the
Empire because only you know which way you want this thread to go. Or
else you would have to keep explaining to someone else what to do next. :)

OOC Oh dear, I have become toung tied. Ok, I will start from the Top.

I will NOT be the Aliens chasing the VIS Entente. I will be playing the Empire and the Natives, I have no objection to the Aliens chasing the ship getting involved on this thread, in fact it would highten the intrest of it.

Mutters: Ok, Deep breath, count to three, no throwing up, you just got this shirt.

Also, one more thing. The amount of people I have is 200,000 not 200 million. Sorry if I confused people.

IC The Tsurani stood outside, making hosuing, finding any matirials using their dropships. IT was thus, with extream luck, that there was the fighter group on patrol, and the Dragon class had all weapons primed. The reason was that three MIGs where flying towards the Base. That Confused most people, as reports showed that the technology on this world was no more then Industrial, and MIGs where much more then that. The Fighters tore the Plans out of the sky, and the two that got through where turned to metal slag when the Dragon Class missiles hit the hulls. The People where shaken, even through the dragon class had sufficiant missiles to cut through half hundreds of fighters, the fact was there where ment to be none here. There where scans done of the surface, and they all showed the same thing as before. But as the Emperor Looked, he noticed something was not right. He moved closer to one of the cities, right up to the nearest window, the woman was doing the same thing every 10 seconds. After a few othe random cheaks, he found himself stupified, something on this planet had happened to loop anything from more advanced scanning technology to continue. The EMperor Sat, puzzled.

At the edge of the star system, the Black XIII transports re-entered normal space and began to burn in towards the planet. The three day journey had been grueling for the mercenaries on-board, but they were used to such cramped conditions, and were eager to get to work.

The first transport hit the atmosphere and angled to land next to the Tsurani base. The others quickly followed suit, and within moments they had touched down safely. The hatches opened and out stepped all five thousand mercs, in full battle formation. Their commanding General stepped forth and bowed to the Emperor, "My liege, these men and I are at your command. What shall we do to serve?"

ooc> Lessr Tsurani, are you going to respond to my post?

I wasn't suggesting you RP the aliens chasing the Entente

OOC Oh dear Gronde, sorry, The post I had made got deleated, but for some reason I though I had posted it, I will post it later tonight.

The Emperor, who had just commanded the weapons from the main ship, came running out when the Transports arrived. The Weapon stations turned towards the ships, and the infantry aimed their weapons at the door that opened. When he finished, the Emperor sighed in releif. He gestured to his men, who lowered their weapons.

"Glad to see you," He said, "We have been on high alert for the last hour. Get your men to spread out and make a defencive perimiter. In the next few hours, I intend to have all leaders down here. Now, I will be back." With this he turned, walking towards the Dragon Ship.

When he arrived, he noticed a message that he had somehow missed from Kalgar. Arkyla listened, and shrugged, it fit in nicly with his plans, so why not?

To: Kalgar
From: Arkyla, Emperor of the Tsurani Empire.
Good to see you, you have arrived just in time. We have a Few more ships to come under our control, and our cargo has awoken. I will meet with you, but all other nations which are in the planet as well. So be ready for a council.
Arkyla

To: All ships in Medkiman space
From: The Tsurani Emperor
Our people have been talking over the radio for a time, I belive we need to know who is behind everyone. Thus, all leaders in the area, please meet us for a general conclave.
Arkyla.

The mercenaries quickly unloaded all their gear and weapons, setting up a small supply depot near the transports. Within two hours, support weapons had been deployed at hastily fortified positions and twenty Centurion recon vehicles were patrolling the area.

Suddenly three capital ships ( a ESSD & 2 ISD's ) appear out of hyperspace and make for orbit.....

The MIC Halberd, a Scythe class super-carrier, slipped out of the hyperspace fold conduit in a flash of white light. With her were the other elements of the 5th, 1 Arclight class vessel, 2 Aurora class vessels, and several Warhorse class destroyers.

"Halberd, this is Tristar, prepare for transport of General Telasnor immediately." The comm operator relayed to the Halberd.

"Acknowledged, Tristar." A voice responded.

*The General's shuttlecraft shuddered as its docking clamps released from the Tristar. Within 2 minutes, the shuttle was landing in the hangar deck of the Halberd. As the General departed the shuttle, he was breifing his staff...*

"Now these people are paying us generously, so be nice. We can really use the funds with our colonization of Tirol and fleet production and all..."

*A leuitenant cut him off...*

"Sir, the Tsurani Empire has invited you to participate in some sort of council meeting."

"Really...very well. Prepare my shuttle craft for departure in 3 hours, I have some business I must attend to while I'm here."

With that, the General procceeded to his quarters to breif Tactical Alpha Space Command (TASC) on the current situation.

Ok, If you are going to argue about this, do it somewhere else. I will not have this thread turned into a OOC Argument

Tsurani space

Rectangular netherspace gates opened, revealing a pair of Orcish raiding fleets and a heavy assault fleet.

Aboard the dred'not Drae'nai kul, the FarSeer was suddenly assaulted by the thoughts of the numerous different beings in the system. He quickly recovered, however, and summoned the Tauren Spirit Walkers to his side. These white Tauren were the mystics of the minotaur-like race, and their powers rivaled those of the Orcish Shamans.

The dred'not powered up its big spearthrowers (heavy railcannons) and lightning catapults (ion guns). With his powers bolstered by the Spirit Walkers, the FarSeer sent a mental message to the numerous vessels and the people on the planet.

This world shall be conquered by the Horde. Surrender your ships and technology to us, and you shall not be harmed. Comply and we shall be gone within the planetary cycle.

Alarm klaxxons sounded throughout the Orcish vessels. Though not very heavily armed in terms of destructive technology, the ships possessed sophisticated disabling technology in the form of their lightning catapults. They used these catapults to knock out the electronics aboard enemy vessels, then overwhelm the ship with boarding pods and transports. Few ships had ever been destroyed by the Horde, most had been captured. Orcish grunts, Tauren elite warriors, and Troll Headhunters piled haphazardly onto the pods and prepared for launch. The Orcish troop transports, known as zeppelins, were loaded with Orc shamans, blademasters, Troll Witch Doctors, Tauren Spirit Walkers, Shadow Hunters, and even a few lower-ranking FarSeers.

CAPTAIN!! A Netherspace Gateway just opened, three fleets of orc ships have just entered the system.

SUDDENLY…

This world shall be conquered by the Horde. Surrender your ships and technology to us, and you shall not be harmed. Comply and we shall be gone within the planetary cycle

Captain!!!....

Yes I heard it

What was that … a message of some kind?

So it would seem

Lt. Comm. open a coded channel to the New ESSD

Aye Aye Sir * ' In a flash of hand movements the channel opens and the comunications officer speaks * Channel open Sir….

* Captain Arellano to Captain Drogna … sense we have not had time to transfer command of your Battle Group to the Tsurani Empire, and we have agreed to protect Tsurani Space from hostile forces. We may need your help to protect this world *

* Captain Drogna to Captain Arellano … you’ve got it, what do you per pose? *

* First order of business is for all ships to raise XSTZ (Xanthal Shield Tech Type Z ) Shields, secondly, arm all weapons systems and target the Horde Ships *

Shields Up & Weapons are online Captain

Thank You Lt.

* Sorry Sean but these ships aren’t equipped with XSTZ Shields. They aren’t Kore built technology, so we can’t install it on ships we intend to sell. But we do have the new KorMar TME-27 CapShields which give equal protection levels. Shields have been raised and we have acquired target locks on all horde ships *

* Yes I read the internal memo about those new shields, but your ships are the first I have heard of that have them. *

* These are brand new ships Sean *

* Yes of course, do they have names assigned to them? *

* No… so we’ll have to designate some temporary ones to use during this operation *

* OK … do you have any ideas *

* As a matter of fact…

Temp. Names:

1). ESSD = UKS Unificatum
2). 1st ISD= UKS Star Empire
3). 2nd ISD= UKS Cynshu *

* Right …. very good … Epsilon Alfa… Arellano Out! *

Lt. open a channel to the Horde Fleet

Aye Aye Sir * ' In a flash of hand movements the channel opens and the comunications officer speaks * Channel open Sir….

* UKS Dark Raven to Horde Fleet…. this planet is under our protection
leave now or be destroyed … this is the only warning we will issue *

Close the channel Lt. and launch a message drone as soon as we are in D-Space.

Helm Maximum Dimensional Warp Now!

( Immediately all six Star Destroyers disappeared into the D-Space Gate created by Dark Raven... the gate then immediately closes behind them )

Note: D-Space travel is a technology of Kormanthor only. So it is impossible for other technologies to track our ships while they are in D-Space. Also Xanthal Type Z shields are the most powerful shields possible to create with the technology. They require a massive central generator, and projection panels to sustain, but in operation extend a thick barrier of variable size and shape around the object it is installed on capable of sustaining continuous attack from even planet-killing weaponry for up to fifteen minutes. Faced with more conventional attacks its protection is almost limitless.

*The bridge of the MIC Halberd, flagship of Fleet General Eli Telasnor, 5th Fleet, 1st Battle Group, 1st Armada*

"What the hell..."

"What's wrong, Ensign?"

"Commander, several Orcish raiding fleets and an assault have just appeared from netherspace."

"What! Confirm that."

"Scanning sir, results are the same."

"Commander, comm reports all ships of the fleet are registering the Orcish fleets, sir"

"And here I thought this was going to be an easy mission. Very well, sound general quarters, condition red! Get the General up here, ASAP!"

*General Telasnor heard the warning klaxons resounding the condition red. He immediately rushed to his commo pad on the bulkhead.*

"Bridge, this is General Telasnor, why are we under condition red during a peace mission!"

"Sir, a large Orcish battle fleet has appeared from netherspace off to port, their assuming battle formation, sir!"

"Order the fleet to condition red, have them form up on the Halberd. Scramble the Veritechs, all of them."

"Aye sir"

"And Commander..."

"Sir?"

"Cancel my shuttle flight to the surface."

"Aye, sir."

The FarSeer sensed the hostility brimming from the alien vessels, and immediately ordered a scrambling of all Drak'qua fighters. There were a single car'yer in each of the raiding fleets, and four of the massive hollow craft in the assault fleet, leading to a total of six car'yers. There were twenty-six of the small friggits and ten dis'tryoahs, not to mention the massive dred'not. All in all there were around two hundred and seventy of the drak'qua fighters, and hundreds of lightning catapults. Most of them immediately targetted the Halberd and fired several volleys. These were designed to knock out shielding and point defenses, and were immediately followed by hundreds of boarding pods. Twelve friggits broke from the main fleet and went after the Veritech squadrons, following the swarms of Drak'quas.

Just as the orc ships fire on the Halberd, Kor Fleet comes screaming out of D-Space.... the Dark Raven entering normal space from the orcs rear dorsal sector, simutaniously the Unificatum, enters normal space from the orcs
ventral sector. The Raven & Unificatum fire their Super Laser Cannons at the massive dred'not hitting it with Planet Killer Force on both ends of the ship.
Which is immediately followed by their combined 800 Turbo Lasers, 600 Ion Cannons firing both ship killing & electrical frying energy, as well as 700 Concussion Missile Tubes firing energy dampner torpedoes ( which open holes in enemy shields ) followed by Drouda Warp AI Missiles with Destroyer Nanites ( that are designed to eat the hull of the target ship ) at the rest of the orc fleet. Vindictive, Lexington, Star Empire & Cynshu enter normal space from the enemy fleets stern; all four firing 60 Laser Cannons & 60 Ion Cannons each
straight up the orcs backsides.
From either side ( Port & Starboard ) 200 Defiant Class Starships, & 216 T-Wing Warp Fighters enter firing Warp Pulse Phaser Cannons, Quantum Photon Torpedoes, Ion Cannons, & Proton Torpedoes. Suddenly the Orc Fleet finds
themselves in a deadly crossfire meant to slaughter them before they know
what hit them.

OOC You have Seers? Well, I hope you brought a lot, cause you stumbled on more psykic power then you will be ready for.

IC The Emperor felt the Seers powering up almost 10 seconds before they started. He rolled his eyes, they never had a reserve ready. He was ready, and so when the fleet appered, he sent a mental blast that wqould have shook Elerand. He smiled, he could feel the barbaric opposition crumble. He was about to charge for the second attack when an unknown forces came in. It was overwelming, and he knew that even Elerand would suffer to bring that much power to bear. The Shot shook him, and he immidiatly felt a major migrain, which was increadable since the attack was directed at his own target. Then there was more, there blocked his mind from the fire. He begged the gods of every deity he knew that he never recived the blunt of that attack, 4000 of the most powerful Psykic minds headed towards the orkish fleet, anything with a brain that the attack was used on would have nothing but liquid the next second.

OOC Basicly, you made the mistake of sending an army that has psykics, because you charged, the Emperor saw a major threat, and fired his power, which alerted the dragons, who, instead of the all powerful magic, have minds like no other being, unfourtnalty, they will only use it if there are other psykics, honour.

As the Kormanthor fleet exited D-space, the FarSeer sensed their arrival. He immediately ordered a full firing of the particle beam point defense weapons, effectively nullifying the threat of concussion missiles and torpedoes. The phasers and turbolasers impacted against the spirit wards, dropping them slightly. The pirated technology held, however, showing the Korm ships that this was not going to be an easy fight. Unlike the tactics used with the Halberd, the heavy spearthrowers swiveled and opened fire on the encroaching fleet.

Just as the FarSeer was allowing himself a small celebration for outsmarting the Korm fleet, he was hit by the massive psychic wave unleashed by the Emperor. He reeled from the assault, falling from his wooden throne to the mossy deck. Just as he was about to fade to blackness, the Spirit Walkers came to his aide. They forced back, sending a mental shockwave of equal strength back against the Emperor. The FarSeer, recovering from the shock, then noticed the powerful minds approaching his battle fleets.

Lok'nar osh, my brothers! The enemy must have shamans! Link yourselves to me, brothers, and we shall combat this evil!

The Shamans still on the Drae'nai kul linked their minds to the FarSeer, as did the Spirit Walkers and Witch Doctors. They rallied an impressive psychic assault, which the FarSeer kept growing in one corner of his mind while he sent a warning to the attacking minds.

Lok'tar, Shamans. I know not who you are, but know that you are not my enemy. I am simply under orders from the WarChief to gain this system's technology. I seek not to battle with fellow Shamans.

The Emperor staggered as the second attack hit him, but smiled when the force he held in reserve deflected the main force of the Shamans. However, he was unprapered for the message, then the reply in a Extreamly Femanin voice.

-Shaman? Shaman!? How dare you! I have fought power that you could not fathom, and you call me a Shaman! Foolish ork, foolish Trolls, foolish Creatures! I will show you power.- He then felt the gathering of a power he had never felt before. The Mind fired, her Target choosen, and a wall of pure energy went flying through the dimension of the mind. When the Emperors inner eye saw this, he almost choked. The Dragons psychic powers he belived to be legends where more true then he could imagen. The dragon had brought fire from the psyical world into the psychic world. With the target choosen, it would feel like the mind was on pure fire. The thing he feared was the fact that it was real fire, so it would bypass all defences. He stood in stupor, this was what Dragons had been tresured for, but he never knew it was REAL!

OOC: LT, your MUSRUMs have been deleivered by the way.

OCC: You didn't out smart anything... your main ship was just hit by two
Planet Killer Weapons .... your fleet was just hit with thousands of weapons
at the same time. Your ships can't just ignore my attack then believe that I will take yours seriously.... post losses GR . Oh and by the way you won't get any of this technology piss ant! But you may become the first country to be put on my ignore list .
LT I really must protest ... it seems that there has been a rash of people of late that see themselves as completely invulerable to any attack.

IC: The enemy ships particle beams & point defense weapons are repelled harmlessly off of Kor Fleets Shields. Then the Dark Raven & Unificatum move directly between the remaining intact orc ships, extending there shields around the Halberd. While the entire fleet continues their deadly attack on
the orc fleet with every weapon in there arsonal.

:D

(OOC: This may be my last post, I may not be able to find a computer over Thanksgiving break...sorry.)

IC: The initial orcish volley served its purpose, the Halberds sheilds were down and several critical systems damaged. Thankfully, the Dark Raven and the Unifactum were sheilding the Halberd, allowing her to bring her Reflex Cannon (really big planet-killing charged particle beam) online. General Telasnor ordered the weapons officer to target the orc dred'not and fire. A large yellow-blue beam lept from the Halberd's starboard mounted Reflex Cannon, heading straight for the dred'not.
Meanwhile, the Veritechs were having a time with the orc Drak'quas. The YF-4 Lightnings registered no losses as yet they were still at 200. The YF-1 Valkyries had lost 35 of their original number of 150. All Veritechs were ordered to Battloid mode (an upright 2-legged humaniod transformation), giving them a distinct manueverability advantage over conventional fighters, especially in zero-g space.
The 2 Arclight class battleships fired their phasers, disrupters, and quantum torpedoes frantically, trying to find a weak spot in the orc defenses. The Aurora class vessels made quick use of their ion cannons, trying to disable the orcish sheilds.

Ooc> Gaia Rodina, your actions were unwise. Did you forget that Lessr Tsurani is under my protection and the protection of the AoN?

Ic> With Gronde attention now devoted to the Tsurani Empire, patrols could be seen everywhere. As such, it was not long before the Orcish fleets were detected. With a battle already in progress, Kalgar wasted little time in reacting. Near the outside of the intensifying battle, 3 Gronde battle fleets Warped in. Each fleet consisted of 25 super-capital ships (battleships, dreadnoughts, carriers, and battle cruisers; most of which were 2 KM in length), 50 Medium capital ships (cruisers, super-destroyers, heavy frigates, etc; about 1.2-1.4 KM in length), 125 light capital ships, (light frigates, patrol ships, and corvettes), and over 10,000 fighters. This fleet represented a good portion of the Gronde offensive forces. They arrived in a barrage formation and conducted the primary Gronde Lance firing pattern into the Orc ships. Nova fire, rail cannon munitions, and torpedoes swashed through the enemy ships. The carriers unloaded their fighters to prepare for the assault.

OOC-Obviously, you've all fallen victim to "TFU Syndrome", in that you're more concerned with 'winning' than the quality of the RP. Korm, how do you know that your weapons would even affect my ships? They're designed to combat a certain type of vessel, and you've never encountered Orc technology before. Second, why the fuck do you have so many planetkilling warships on a peace mission? That just doesn't make sense. Megas is slightly better, he's willing to fall victim to my technology. Gronde, how the fuck did you get all those capital ships into the system so fast? This is all happening within a few minutes. The logistics of you doing that boggles my mind. Lessr Tsurani, ironically, is the best among you in my opinion.

However, seeing as two of you are down with TFUS, I'm out.




The Orcish vessels, seeing that they were outnumbered, opened Netherspace gates and made a hasty retreat. They left many pods and one dying dis'troyah behind.

All my ships were here before you even posted the first time. And if you want to know why they are here .... read the thread. As far as opinions....
my opinion of you isn't real good either. What I have a problem with is
Younger Nations that burst into a thread with SuperDuper Tech. that no one
can oppose. You even made it sound like Lessr Tsurani meant nothing next to
your awesome self, and its his thread.

PS: LT please forgive the OCC messages

OOC Awwww, wizzes on you guys. Gronde, , unless that fleet came straigh from the war with ESUS, , it is almost impossible for it to be ready, I amassuming that it was, and stick shaking if it is not.. Kormanthor, NP with the OOC Posts, but he deflected the attack Psychicly, even when he could not have managed, so that was a Goddmod, however, since he was something to attack, I let it pass. Megas, I am sorry to hear that, I wanted you to stay on. Now, I am partily injured that he left, since he was here I was going to teach the EverQueen How to RP, since he never got into it. *Sigh* Anyway, I will find something else. Now, where should the attack go? hehehe.


IC The Dragons fire was heading towards its target, weaving in and out of other minds in the area. When the orks fled, the fire was stuck in a realm it should never have been in. It was with increadable coincidence, that the fire was waiting right where the Gronde fleet arrived. The fire, which grew larger as it stayed in the mind world, was directly in the way of the front of the lance formation, and the forward ships crew's minds would be consumed by the dragons fire, beliving their minds where burning, while in truth the belife held it there.

On the surface, Arkyla stood on shaky feet. He went through the messages, hopeing something new would come up. So, when he found the message from the EverQueen, he nearly leaped for joy. The EverQueen was one of the most beautiful women he had seen. When the Tsurani had still been on Imperia, and Empress Lithia still in command, the EverQueen had come to join the Tsurani on their new world. As Lithia's main defnece coordinater, he had seen her pass, and she had looked directly at him. He shook his head, nothing for that now, he created a message in Imperia Code, and sent it to the Ship.


-To: The EverQueens ship, the Xonath.
From: Arkyla, Lithia's former defence coordinater, new Emperor Of Lessr Tsurani.
Hail Captin Roth, if you would be so kind, send this message to the EverQueen via your ship.
HAIL! We where beinging to think you had forgoten us. We could have used your help. However, that can be forgiven. Help is needed, and you can provide it. If you do, We shall fund the Shadow Technology Reserch for the next hunred years. We will accept any help, but the main one is this. Find Lithia! We both know her skill, she can control a crowd in an hour, just by talking. We could save many lives, if this world is not ruled by a dictator. Help would be apreciated.

Welcome to space hehe it looks like its to late for me to join the rp so any way good luck )

Excuse me your highness, but the Castles communications officer says
that your coded subspace channel to the Tsurani Empire is open.

Thank You Chase ( The beautiful brunette aide to the King bows gracefully
then leaves the throneroom )

* This is King Mattew Ferrarde' of Kormanthor, Admiral Montgomery Acott has been keeping me informed of the events surrounding your colonization of the Planet Medkima. It is my understanding that this Orc Race that attempted to invade you used Psychic powers to both protect his fleet & to attack you personally on the planet while still in space. Such power is extra ordinary
and could represent a clear and present threat to nations not possessing protection from attacks of this kind.
These powers sound at least similar to the powers of the Jedi. Therefore, I instructed the Jedi Council of Kormanthor to dispatch a ship of Jedi to your location that should be arriving very soon. With them I have sent another
Battle Group to protect them. I have granted Captain Arellano a grade in rank increase to Commodore and I am placing him in command of the entire fleet.
It has also come to my attention that there has been some question raised as to the price of the fleet that you ordered from us. If this is true then by all means you are welcome to contact me here so we may talk. If however you no longer wish to purchase the ships in question then they and the ships in route will become a permanent part of Commodore Arellano’s Task Force *

Transmission Ended

OOC-I'm not willing to do a space RP with you guys, but the Orcs true strength is their ground warriors and marines. Y'all forgot that I left pods in orbit. And you never finished off that dis'troyah.


The dis'troyah's faster-than-light drive had shorted out and its main thrusters were offline. Weapons control was gone, but maneuvering jets were still operational. The ship's Chieftan, a young Orc warrior, braced himself as the ship began being sucked into the planet's gravitational field. Under normal circumstances, most of the mighty warship would break up and leave only a scattering of armor fragments and maybe a few spearslugs. However, the young Orc commander rerouted all the power normally reserved for engines and weapons into his ship's Spirit Ward. He also ordered his remaining Shamans to use their own ability to bolster the energy field. The dis'troyah burned as it descended towards the Tsurani world, followed by hundreds of boarding pods that had reoriented to make landfall when their supporting capital ships had left the system.

The dis'troyah made a feeble attempt to level out as it descended, but managed to keep its nose up. The Orcish warship slammed into the ground, skidding for several kilometers. Various pods smashed the ground along the crash zone, and began disgorging their occupants.


"Urg...remind Gor'thak not do that again."
Gor'thak, the Chieftan of the dis'troyah Kul'tagador, rose from the deck of his once proud warship. His statement, however, had fallen on deaf ears. The entire Great Hall crew of the dis'troyah had been killed in the crash, save for him. He tapped the klaxxon control, making sure it worked, and spoke.
"This Gor'thak. All survivors get outside. Make ready for war!"

Aye Aye Commodore, ' In a flash of hand movements the channel opens and the comunications officer speaks.... Channel open Commodore.

* This is Commodore Arellano to the Tsurani Empire .... heads up .... the
Orc dis'troyah and pods have made it to the planets surface. They will surely
attack your postion very soon. I have a number of weapons at my disposal
that I could use against them from space. But some would probly do more damage to your planet then you would like. If you have any suggestions I am open to them sense you are more familiar with the Orc's MO.... Arellano Out *

** Engineering replicate enough UEG's & UMT's to handle the size force that is now on the surface at the Orc landing site. Check with the sensor officer for exact numbers & location .... Arellano Out **

* All ships check your aeriel ground assult & ground forces for operational readiness. I want them ready to go at a moments notice .... Arellano Out *

** Hangar Bays I want our aeriel ground assult & ground forces check for
operational readiness .... Arellano Out **

** Stores how many Inquisitor ( AI ) Seekers do we have in stock? **

** We always keep a thousand Sir **

** Good .... Activate there anti grav units, thrusters, sensor suites, weapons, cloaking devices & set them to kill .... place them on your cargo transporter pads, check with the sensor officer for location, then transport them right into the mist of the Orc ground forces. Also I want you to start replicating replacements as fast as we possibly can **

** Aye Sir **

** Arellano Out **

( Minutes later one thousand Inquisitor ( AI ) Seekers materialize cloaked at the Orc landing site, seemingly they appear out of thin air, then immediately attack any orc, space marine or seer that is nearby or activate their seek and destroy programming, moving off to find targets )

OOC GR, funnily enough, there is a Goblin Empire up in the north. If you landed there, you could make yourself a better army, but when you go up against the Illetriasns (NAtive dominet spieces.) You better hope your powers are good.

IC The Emperor picked through local Telavision channels, a large number of properganda shows, with all showing a strange humanoid form. He sighed, and was caught off guard by the message that came on the Telavision.

"People Of Great Kesh" Came the Reporters voice. "I have come before you to tell you of a great threat. There is a alien race in the Dragon sea. Now, for anyone of these people listening. Let it be known. The Confecery of Illetrias has agreed to help you. For the reason of the technological advancement. We have discovered the large fleet, as well as the way you tore apart our fighters before hand. However Should we join you, you must help us exterminate the Goblin lords to the North, otherwise this world will crumble. This is the will of the united nations of Medkima, thus is the will."

Arkyla was stunned. He had expected to have to fight for this world, then he realised he would have to. The Goblin Lords would not be easy to beat, new infomation showed there where almost 100 of them For Every one of These Illetriasns. The Planet was an enigma, and Arkyla had given up, it was in a war, with the southern Illetriasns controling Technology of Terra. THe Goblins had mastered gunpoweder, but had yet to go past the Renassons age. The Fleets, as well as the different gound tech, wo0uld make the differenece, espessially since he had reports that the Orks had landed norht of the Teeth of the world, Goblin Lands. He Shivvered, and smiled at the new Machines from Moleland. This would be a bloody war, the winner not known.

OOC Look, I sent the Gold for the ships, sorry if it got deleated. But I can't be bothered to post about it.

OOC Look, I sent the Gold for the ships, sorry if it got deleated. But I can't be bothered to post about it.

Sorry I never saw the post, but I will IC a explaination tonight when I get
home from work.

Gronde, , unless that fleet came straigh from the war with ESUS, , it is almost impossible for it to be ready, I amassuming that it was, and stick shaking if it is not..
ooc> That would be correct. I would like to apologize to everyone for not making the situation more clear. They were fleets prepared for the ESUS wars that had just returned home and were never de-mobilized. (Although my nation always keeps a large number of ships available for rapid deployment, just not normally that many) As for arriving so quickly, it is the basis of a naval doctrine that I have been working with involving patrolling space, but staying in the Warp instead of real space, allowing forces to be applied quickly. However, this meens that it will be about 20 minutes before my ships would be able to return to the Warp and another 40 before they will be able to arrive at their next destination. So I don't have anything to really RP, I have less than 500 space marines in the area of the planet fall attack, and they can be RPed by Tsurani. Again, I apologize for the confusion.

Mul'gore was the first to notice something was wrong when a crimson enegy bolt (I assume they're using energy weapons?) burned into his thorium-plated armor. He was thrown back, but the mighty blue metal managed to hold the bolt from affecting him fully. Fortunately, he was a shaman and had already tapped into this world's reserve of elements. With a wave of his hand, a burst of lightning shot out and speared the cloaked android, leaping from its primary target to several other androids.
"Aka'thoramar, Chieftan! We are under attack!"

Gor'thak turned to see what the shaman was on about, and a bolt of energy sizzled past his face.
"Fight back! Lok'tar ogar!"
Gor'thak swung his vibroaxe, beheading the android that attacked him. Several Orcs fell from assaults, but most fell to chain lightning attacks by the shamans.


When the androids had been dealt with (or, at least, when they stopped attacking), Gor'thak began preparing his warriors for another assault.
"Shore up those supports! When metal cowards return Gor'thak wants cover fire!" he had traded his vibroaxe for a triple-barreled repeater cannon and a vibrosword strapped across his back. He was just about to scan the horizon with his repeater cannon when another pod streaked in. This one, unlike the rickity ones that Orcish ground troops used, slowed as it approached and landed on three spindly legs. A small ramp lowered and an aged Orc walked down. He hefted a massive vibrosword easily twice the size of Gor'thak's, and the crimson beads around his neck indicated that he was a fabled blademaster, one of the koo'teen, or armed pupils, of the FarSeers. They served as the FarSeer's physical agents and, in return, the FarSeer would grant them abilities reserved for the highest of shamans. This one, judging by his standard, could only be...
"Tojara! Gor'thak not know you part of fleet!"
The Orcish ship chieftan knelt in respect for the veteran warrior, as did most of the host gathered there. Tojara was one of the WarChief's pair of koo'teen, and the highest ranking Blademaster amongst the Orcs.
"You did not keep those metaloids from spirit walking here? Why is the Ward not up?"
"Master! The Ward on board the..."
"You did not think to remove it? To make it mobile? Lok'tar! Strip the Kul'tagador of power generation and the Ward generator. Strap them to the backs of whatever Kodos you can find, and link them. Go!"
The Orcs, Tauren, and Trolls scrambled about, pulling power generators from the ship. Three massive Kodo beasts - normally used for food - were assembled. Two were equipped with fusion generators. One was charged with carrying the Spirit Ward generator - the Orcs' energy shielding technology. This would prevent any further teleportation within its sphere. With the Ward in place, the Horde began moving under Tojara's leadership.

As the Orc troops landed, the mercenaries from Black XIII were scrambling to reorient their perimeter to face the new threat. The hover trucks and scout cars shuttled soldiers to the shallow trenches and dug-outs that would bear the brunt of any assault, while engineering crews deployed even more support weapons. Machine gun emplacements sat side by side with rocket launchers and even the occasional laser bought from New Exodus. While the weapons would not be on par with the crude but powerful Orcish weapons, the mercs had excellent training, and ironclad resolve.

Most importantly, the mercenaries were setting up a make-shift bunker towards the rear of their formation, in which they would place the most expensive of their equipment, the Anti-Thaumic field generator. This device was certainly not as advanced as the New Exodus models, but would sufficiently impede (not block, just cause difficulty) magic and psionics. Unfortunately, it would affect the Tsurani just as much as the Orcs, so the field had been focused towards the advancing army, and the Tsurani psychics knew to avoid it.

The Tsurani ships unbuckled themselves from the ground, and the people croweded on to the Dragon ship. They moved across the Atmospheare, to the city that had been given to the Emperor as a base. The Emperor felt the name was funny, Sethanon. The natives had sent him an e-mail telling of their history, and he found that it was quite interesting. His ship came over the region that the city was in, and he looked apon his peoples new home with a snort. The city was old, and it had not been touched for at least 300 years. The Buildings where all flat roofed, and after looking for a time, he noticed the city was maded to make a enemy pay for every inch they got into. His ship came over the top of the keep. And turned so its engines faced the ground. They ship lowered, and cut itself a hole in the keep. The ship contined, and when it reached the ground, its engines turned off, and it sent out stabiliser roots to stop from falling. The people exited, and took the largest houses, while the main force of ships landed on the grass outside. The emperor watched, the city was deserted but his own people, yet that did not bother him. He began to looked around, walking past buildings.

OOC Ok, this is a map of the area where we are now, the Mountines up the top are the start of the Goblin lords territory, and all south is Mine. The second map is south of the bottom part you can see on the first, and the last is on the other side of the world.

South of that one: http://emeric.maury.free.fr/yoshitsune/MAPS/KESH.JPG
Other side of the world:http://emeric.maury.free.fr/yoshitsune/MAPS/NOVINDUS.JPG

OOC Ok, Sorry, The orks are north of the Teeth of the world, and the meciaries came along with me, for obvious reasons. The cities on the teeth of the world are all Ours, and they suffer the brunt of the goblin attacks. The mecianries will be sent up to those cities, to assist the local population, and the Tsurani will set up command in Sethonon, which is in the middle of the first map. Thus NE, I will assume that happened at Highcastle, which is the main fortess, as it has the widest Gap in the Teeth of the world.

Captain Roth frowned at his screen as he read the Tsuranies message.
They wanted him to relay this message to the everqueen that said they appreciated the help but especially wanted them to find Lithia. "That must mean Lihias missing" he said out loud. Just as he sent oun the message the Luitenete ran in and said urgently."Captain our sensors have picked up traces of ork after burners out here, the Tsurani must have been invaded."
Roth Jumped up and stared at the Luitenete "Quick," he ordered "Send a messege to the tsurani and see what the situation is, then find a safe spot to land near the tsurani capital city."
"Yes sir" said the luitenete leaving the room.
"Looks like I have something else to talk to the ever queen about." he muttered.

Reola stared with disbelief at her hand held haspoi. "It appears that Lithia has disapeared and the Tsurani Wish for her to be found. It Also Appears thatb the tsurani are under attack by some gobbos and Orcs." Reola quickly dispatched one of her handmadens to send out some scout ships to search for Lithia then to send a message to Teclis it looks like she was going to have to send more than just the Xanoth to help.

OOC Cool, to see your on, search the forums to see any others you wish to play.

IC The Emperor looked at the Illetrian position. There where seven major passes through the teeth of the world, The largest being Highcastle. There where the passes under Iron mountine, as well as two other Old Dwarven mines. He sighed. He needed to find some way to get the whole south defended. He sent a message to the EverQueen.

To: Captin Roth
From: the Emperor
THe Situation is fine. We currently have one city, and we are asked to defend the south of the planet. Please help.

Aboard the VIS Entente things were looking up. They had been able to repair all their damaged systems and their d-space sensors told them that
the Kor Fleet strike force had arrived. The alien ship was still sitting just
outside the nebula with a sensor drone covering the opposite side of the
nebula.

* This is Commodore Arellano to the AreKore Task Force ... encircle and protect the Halberd until she is fully operational again. After she fired that huge planet killer weapon we noticed that she seemed to lose power to a number of systems including her defensive shields .... I will send engineers from Raven to help them get their systems back up to 100% ... Arellano Out *

( Immediately the fleet of destroyers moved to encircle their damaged ally,
and engineers from Raven transport aboard Halberd to help fix the ships systems. )

( SUDDENLY on the Dark Raven intruder alert systems set off alarms all over the ship )

** Security to Bridge … Lt. Commander Masterson speaking **

** Bridge here … Arellano speaking … what’s going on with the IAS (intruder alert systems ) Lt. Commander? **

** Sir I think you’ll want to see this for yourself **

** OK I’ll be down in a moment Lt. Commander … Arellano Out **

( Immediately Sean Arellano stands up from the center seat of the Raven, then quickly walks over to the Dimensional Space Arch on the bulkhead between his ready
room and the port turbo lift. Lightning fast his fingers dance over the DSA Control Pad setting it for the storeroom in question then turns his head to his first officer
to speak… )

Commander Mueller you have the Con

Yes Sir ( responds the XO as he watches the Commodore disappear into the event horizon of the D-Space Arch )

( Seconds Later … ) Commodore Arellano steps out of the DSA in the storeroom, stopping to allow his eyes to adjust to the lighting in the room. Then unable to
stop his facial expression because of the view before him … he looks at the intruder
in awe! Then finally is able to speak…)

Sweet Jesus … this is the intruder? ( Before him he sees a massive pile of gold … one much, much larger then the first )

Yes Sir ( answers Lt Commander Masterson ) The computer estimates it's
worth at 179 Billion ( USD ).

I don’t understand why it’s just now showing up.

That was the first thought I had to … but after having made a quick investigation, it all makes a crazy kind of sense.

Oh well that’s good, so I know you won’t mind explaining it to me. Because the Emperor told us that he transported this cargo days ago.

No Sir, I don’t mind… It seems that the original transporter beam used by the Empire to send it here was automatically intercepted by our Transporter AI so it could be checked for weapons and explosives before allowing the beam in to complete. This is now a normal procedure sense we redesigned the system after
the first unannounced delivery.
Now this is where it really gets crazy, apparently the interface between the two systems fried some of the transporters circuits in our system. Which somehow caused the cargo to go into a loop making it impossible to complete the
transport. Then the ships reconstruction nanites moved into the damaged system
and rebuilt it which made it possible to complete the transport and poof it finally
shows up here. What’s really weird is that the Gold is somehow transmitting a
signal of some type back to the Empire.

Wow … that is truly extraordinary; I want engineering to investigate the transporter records to establish what it is that made our two technologies incompatible enough cause damage to this ship. Then I want it to be upgraded so it doesn’t happen again,
oh and don’t be concerned about the signal that’s just a tracer signal so it can be traced if it is stolen. If you need me I will be in my residence, I need to catch a little shut eye. You are dismissed.

Thank You Sir

** Arellano to Bridge **

** Bridge here **

** Ah good, just the man I wanted to talk to. Number One I want you to contact the fleet. Tell them to start transporting all of our ground troops down to the surface just
outside the Tsurani Capital City. Kor law doesn’t say we can’t help the Tsurani against this new threat. If you need me I will be in my residence, I need to catch a little shut eye.

OOC: The reason why my ships just "appear" is the same as Gronde's, went through the warp, and were ready for the ESUS battle, but got alittle diverted.

IC: A very small skaven fleet "winked" out of the warp. It only consisted of 5 Styx Heavy Cruisers. As they glided twoard the planet, no weapons powered up, no messages were sent, after all, Skaven Blight is part of the AoN, no explanation should be needed.....

OOC2:And the lack of characters on board has a purpose, it isn't how I usually RP

The Emperor was sleeping in his chair when one of the guards walked in. The man smiled, this would have been a trying time for him, and he had only slepted for 3 hours in the last week and a half, relying on imosemis pills to keep him going. The man cheaked, and went to get the crew for the ships.

The Emperor dreamed, although for him it felt like much more.

Walking down the path, he feels strange, as if there where dark eyes watching. He walks faster, to avoid those eyes, and feels a familiar push in his brain. He puts up defences, only to find them overcome, and his everymovement avalible for his stalkers to copy.

He starts to panic now, as there is only foward to go, down the path to the Temple of the Dragon. He hurries, yet his stalker follows, and power starts to seep from the very ground. He sees the grand entry, and can feel his stalker moving faster, to close the gap before protection is granted. There is all of a sudden a shadow in front of him, and the emperor fears the creature, for he had gone to great lengths to make sure it could never get out of its prison. It stood before him, as large as earth, its clawed feet about to crush him. He ran, if he reached the temple, the creature would have no power. He felt the earth shake as it tried to claw him, and ws hit on the back before falling through the passage.

Black turned to white, life to death, pain to plesure, and the other way round, before he woke. When he did, he knew something was not right. The cut was gone, even though his back should be broken. He stood, and felt better then he had in years. He then looked up to see the Statue of the great Dragon Queen, and there, standing beside her, was a woman he had never seen before. She was beautiful, her hair a deep black, her lips red. Her eyes where, Gold? That was not natural. He walked towards her. And tried to speak, but could not. We this part of the Temples rules. It was the he heard the sound, in his mind, it was insistant.

-Open the door, allow us out. Open the Door, allow us out.-

He felt confused, what door? He could not see any doors around. Then he realised, and pulled a dagged from the alter, stabed himself in the stomach. Black turned to white, life to death, plesure to pain, and back again. And then, he Woke.

The Emperor Stood, and walked towards the vault that had held the most powerful of creatures the empire knew. He saw the massive door, and moed to the control pannel. He pressed a lock comination, and the door slid open, like a spirl. When the door, opened, Arkyla stood back, for the room actually reaked with power. He saw inside, at the host of 4000 dragons, who moved out of the ship, and flew towards a different direction. Soon the dragons would all have individual homes. But could be called if needed. The emperor smiled, mabey he would dream of them again.

CAPTAIN!! I’m registering a Warp Space Gateway opening, a fleet of Heavy Cruisers have just entered the system.

Thank You Lt. Shields Up and open a channel to our fleet

Aye Aye Sir * ' In a flash of hand movements on the communications consule opens the channel, then the communications officer speaks * Channel open Sir….

This is Commodore Arellano to all fleet ships we have detected a new alien fleet entering the system … raise shields, but do not , I repeat do not arm any weapons
unless they prove to be hostile … Arellano Out

Communications open a channel to the unknown fleet.

Aye Aye Sir ' In a flash of hand movements on the communications consule opens the channel, then the communications officer speaks ' Channel open Sir….

* This is Commodore Arellano calling the unknown fleet that has just entered this system ... please state your intentions *

Sir I'm picking up a coded / scrambled d-space vid from the Jedi Fleet

Thank You Lt. Commander put it on the view screen.

Aye Aye Sir * ' In a flash of hand movements on the communications consule decodes & descrambles the vid and routes it to the bridge viewscreen, then the comunications officer speaks ' Vids starting Sir. The viewscreen comes to
life showing a female jedi officer in her readyroom.

* Hello Sean you ol space dog I hear you are coming up in the world ....
you made Commodore .... congrads *

* Thank You Admiral for remembering me *

* Nonsense Sean you have earned your rank and my respect *

* Admiral we picked you up on the D-Space sensors when you came into the system. I would like to request that your fleet remain in D-Space at least until we find out
what this new fleets intentions are. Also I’d like to request that you assign some
of your Jedi’s to monitor the area for anything I should know about *

* Both request sound like fine ideas to me, but I should tell you that we have been monitoring the ESUS / AoN War. And my contacts there tell me that this fleet has
just come from there. As did the fleet that helped you against the Orc Fleet *

* Really … well now that is interesting news … thank you *

* So Sean what’s the situation with the sale of the ships? *

* We have received the second shipment of Gold in payment of the ships and are
awaiting the Tsurani Crew to arrive. I am keeping our crew on board until that time
in case the ships weapons are needed. After all I can’t just leave them unmanned in
orbit . And sense they don’t possess the ability to land on planet I feel this is the only viable course available to me as the Tsurani Empire may be short on man power
right now with the Orc’s now on the surface *

* Sounds like you have things well in hand Sean, we will be standing by and watching from D-Space … Danevai Out *


Note: D-Space travel is a technology of Kormanthor only. So it is impossible for other technologies to track our ships while they are in D-Space
or hear messages sent over d-space channels. Also Xanthal Type Z shields are the most powerful shields possible to create with the technology. They require a massive central generator, and projection panels to sustain, but in operation extend a thick barrier of variable size and shape around the object it is installed on capable of sustaining continuous attack from even planet-killing weaponry for up to fifteen minutes. Faced with more conventional attacks its protection is almost limitless.

IC: A simple and brief message was sent back to the Dark Raven.
We have come to end hostilities planet side
Their was no "From" or "to", just that one sentance.

The five ships, looking like space itself with the black paint, continued twoards the planet, but this time heading twoard the northern pole......

Sir I'm picking up a message from the Unknown Fleet

:
We have come to end hostilities planet side
That’s all they sent Sir

Well now … not very friendly are they? I hope they aren’t on the orc’s side.

Sensors keep an eye on those ships I don’t care to get caught with my pants down.

Aye Sir

Communications alert our ground forces to this possible new threat

Aye, Aye Sir

IC: The five Styx began going planetside, for most Styx, this would be suicide, but these had been modified with under burners and stronger warp-shields, so landing is possible, and the atmosphere is survivable. All weapons were charged, but niether ork nor human were fired upon as they landed.....

OOC: My landing zone is in the farthest right side of the woods, that are in between the "northlands" and the left side of the map.

The Horde trekked northeast at high speed, despite most of them lacking mounts. They headed northeast because Gor'thak thought he remembered a large industrial center in that direction. Tojara was the first amongst them, having trained under strenuous conditions and not even breathing hard after two days of nearly dead sprint. Some of the peons, however, were not used to such conditions, and lagged behind. They all stayed under the protective umbrella of the Spirit Ward, however, so remained safe from more teleportation attacks and most orbital bombardments. Little did they know they were being watched as they entered a certain race's territory...


((Thought I'd let you RP the goblins off the bat))

OCC: Whats the distance between the Bitter Sea & the Kingdom Sea LT?

OOC Kormanthor, It is aproxamatly 700 Km across, working out the average tralve time it takes. I will work out a scale later, but for the moment that can be a guide. Right now I will do the Goblins, the Emperor Later.


IC The Goblin Shaman, skilled in the use of Old magic, felt a ripple when the Spirit Ward came across. The Creature told the Goblin Lord.

"Are you sure?" Came the Raspy voice. "We are the only race on this world that knows magic, ever since the Mordrehl Left or allied with the South Ones." The Shaman Nodded. "Very well, gather some men, and take the South ones to their grave. If your sign reading is right, there will be a shift in power soon, then the Goblin Lords shall strike as one." He fell back, his blue skin becoming bumpy.

The Goblin Scouting party moved fast, cutting across the Numerus Cannyons and rivers. After a few hours, they reached the Ork party. When they saw the big orks, they became confused.

"They are not Southerners, they are like us, yet different." Said a smaller one, a goblin Slave warrior. "THey have the size of the south ones, but they are as dark as we. What should we do?"

"Treat them as we treat trespasers, Kill them." Said the mage, as he fired a blast of Fire towards them.

Teclis let his mind return to the world of realityas his squire and sone entered the room.
"Master We've..." He finished as his father cut hime off
"I know we have recieved a messege from the everqueen requesting that we go to the Tsurani new homeworld to lend a hand."
Rithoral did not speak of his father cuting him off for he was now used to his fathers mind reading techniques."
Teclis, his father had been training on this ship for the last 10,000 years in order to discover new ways of magic and mental art.
"What should I say Master"
Tell the ever queen and the Tsurani that well be there in time for dinner, then prepare the Phoenix guard for war. Also tell the everqueen to send her scout ships to Earth for that is where shell be."
"Yes master" the squire replied

Meanwhile the everqueen was asleep when. Beep Beep Beep.
Her laptop awoke her. After getting up she had a look and read the newly recieved messege. Smiling she sent word to the Tsurani there would be nothing to fear now.

Arkyla smiled. So Reola thought this Imporent ENough to sent Teclis. He waited, for he had felt something in his mind, something similar to the dream. The Dragon Queen had stayed, and the attendent he had seen in his dream as well. The woman who he had seen in his dreams, the Dragon Mistress, most powerful of all Psycics, besides the Queen herself. He orginised the People, this would be a night to remember.

OOC Hello Zach, Got to go, will be back soon.

Captain Roth looked at his screen.
"Luitenute can you land near the tsurani defence at the couth of the planet they want us to help them defend it."
"Yes sir" said the Lutenute

OOC: Goblins aren’t very friendly are they, eh? If there are any where I am (which there probably are), I’ll let you RP LT (Lesser Tsurani).
BTW, what tech are the gobos?

IC: Like rats abandoning a ship, (well, they are rats leaving a ship) the skaven swarmed out. Several hundred tons of warpstone-powered gear was dragged out. Warp-shield generators, warp-lightning cannons, Skitter Leap generators, and other gadgets were hauled out, making a perimeter around their appropriate ship. Each ship’s slaves were herded out a gun and bayonet point, and forced to dig trenches. Warpstone tanks (a predator tank from WH40K) rumbled into position, Ratling guns were dug in, Warlock engineers crewed the warp-lightning turrets on the ship, giving it a deadly defense, others tinkered with ones on the ground, giving them a fast field of fire. Some other new tanks were deployed, these ones were Rhinos (WH40K) that had destroyers mounted on it (a death roller), these were sent out to destroy a square mile of forest around the 5 ships, fully 500 were dispatched for this, all boasting a compliment of 20 Clanrats as guards. Accompanying these “destroyers” were some modified Rhinos, the back hatch was open, to store large objects, they would collect salvageable trees to be used in the defense.

From the launch bays, 10 Shark assault boats were launched, each boat was flanked by two fighter-bombers, these were sent out two scour the north. one went south west, one went west, one went south, the other seven went east, in a massively staggered formation, so as to cover lots of ground.

On board Carnage:
The black armored skaven looked out of the view port, seeing all his crew labor over the defenses. He turned to face another skaven, also dressed in black armor, but trimmed with silver, indicating he was a Chieftain, not a Warlord like himself. He was angry that this ship had been stripped down of its’ cruiser-killer cannon(lots of “kuhs” there :)). To make room for the extra crew and air/space craft.

“Tell me again, why are we here Chieftain?” He watched his expression, trying to catch any shock or anger, but just like a machine, he responded with no emotion.

“It was the will of the horned one, sent to us by the council”

“But what was his purpose for sending us here? Do you know why? All the slaves here would be costly to capture, we have all the artifacts needed for the activation, but none of the fortresses are here either, so can you perceive what he wants?”

“I do not seek to understand the unknown, I only follow his directives”

Hm, I don’t like that, he hides his emotions to well, he could be plotting to kill me here and now, and I have no idea, best to keep him in the battle, so he has no chance to.

“Go load up five thunderhawk gunships as a reaction force, have the other ships do the same”

“Yes sir”

The scarred (scar, not scare) Chieftain briskly walked out, heading to the launch bays….

( OCC: Megas:The first section of this post is my attempt to ICly explain your absence while protecting your ship until your return.)

( OCC: Lessr Tsurani: The rest of this post is my explaination of the lost gold .... I hope you like it. Also you may take possession of your New ESSD & Two ISD's at as soon as you can transport crew aboard.)

* This is Commodore Arellano to the AreKore Task Force ... encircle and protect the Halberd until she is fully operational again. After she fired that huge planet killer weapon we noticed that she seemed to lose power to a number of systems including her defensive shields .... I will send engineers from Raven to help them get their systems back up to 100% ... Arellano Out *

( Immediately the fleet of destroyers moved to encircle their damaged ally,
and engineers from Raven transport aboard Halberd to help fix the ships systems. )

( SUDDENLY on the Dark Raven intruder alert systems set off alarms all over the ship )

** Security to Bridge … Lt. Commander Masterson speaking **

** Bridge here … Arellano speaking … what’s going on with the IAS (intruder alert systems ) Lt. Commander? **

** Sir I think you’ll want to see this for yourself **

** OK I’ll be down in a moment Lt. Commander … Arellano Out **

( Immediately Sean Arellano stands up from the center seat of the Raven, then quickly walks over to the Dimensional Space Arch on the bulkhead between his ready
room and the port turbo lift. Lightning fast his fingers dance over the DSA Control Pad setting it for the storeroom in question then turns his head to his first officer
to speak… )

Commander Mueller you have the Con

Yes Sir ( responds the XO as he watches the Commodore disappear into the event horizon of the D-Space Arch )

( Seconds Later … ) Commodore Arellano steps out of the DSA in the storeroom, stopping to allow his eyes to adjust to the lighting in the room. Then unable to
stop his facial expression because of the view before him … he looks at the intruder
in awe! Then finally is able to speak…)

Sweet Jesus … this is the intruder? ( Before him he sees a massive pile of gold … one much, much larger then the first )

Yes Sir ( answers Lt Commander Masterson ) The computer estimates it's
worth at 179 Billion ( USD ).

I don’t understand why it’s just now showing up.

That was the first thought I had to … but after having made a quick investigation, it all makes a crazy kind of sense.

Oh well that’s good, so I know you won’t mind explaining it to me. Because the Emperor told us that he transported this cargo days ago.

No Sir, I don’t mind… It seems that the original transporter beam used by the Empire to send it here was automatically intercepted by our Transporter AI so it could be checked for weapons and explosives before allowing the beam in to complete. This is now a normal procedure sense we redesigned the system after
the first unannounced delivery.
Now this is where it really gets crazy, apparently the interface between the two systems fried some of the transporters circuits in our system. Which somehow caused the cargo to go into a loop making it impossible to complete the
transport. Then the ships reconstruction nanites moved into the damaged system
and rebuilt it which made it possible to complete the transport and poof it finally
shows up here. What’s really weird is that the Gold is somehow transmitting a
signal of some type back to the Empire.

Wow … that is truly extraordinary; I want engineering to investigate the transporter records to establish what it is that made our two technologies incompatible enough cause damage to this ship. Then I want it to be upgraded so it doesn’t happen again,
oh and don’t be concerned about the signal that’s just a tracer signal so it can be traced if it is stolen. If you need me I will be in my residence, I need to catch a little shut eye. You are dismissed.

Thank You Sir

** Arellano to Bridge **

** Bridge here **

** Ah good, just the man I wanted to talk to. Number One I want you to contact the fleet. Tell them to start transporting all of our ground troops down to the surface just
outside the Tsurani Capital City. Kor law doesn’t say we can’t help the Tsurani against this new threat. If you need me I will be in my residence, I need to catch a little shut eye.

Aye Sir ( Answers the XO )

* Commander Mueller to the Tsurani Empire, I am the XO aboard the UKS Dark Raven. Commodore Arellano has ordered our troops to the surface to help you
against the Space Orc Threat. They will start arriving in a few hours … Mueller Out *

( A few hours later three Star Gates appear on the planets surface five km east of the Tsurani Capital City. Then ground troops start pouring through at a dead run.
( As soon as the all troops are safely on the ground the three Star Gates disappear
… beamed back to the ships of origin. )

Soon 1000 Anti-vehicle & 1000 Anti- Infantry Batteries encircle the City ( beamed into place by the cargo transporters of the Kor Task Force above. Backed up by six prefab garrisons stocked with DH -17 Blaster Pistols, E -11 Blaster Rifles,

IC: What would have taken the Halberd's engineers several days to repair instead took several hours with the aid of the Raven's engineers. With her systems back online, she could launch the ground forces she carried to the surface. General Telasnor ordered the 1200 Cyclone VR-055 infantry troopers, along with 500 supporting VHT-1 Centaur tanks, to assist in the defence of the Tsurani capitol. They would be conveyed to the surface by the Barracuda class dropships. The remaining Veritechs (about 110 Valkyries and 190 Lightnings) were returning to the Halberd to be refueled and rearmed. They would then be stationed on the planet.

General Telasnor stood on the bridge of the Halberd, his thoughts drifted to the cargo of gold on board the Tristar.

"Ensign, put me through to the Tristar."

"Aye sir"

A click was heard as the comm channel opened.

"Fleming here, General. What seems to be the problem?"

"I was thinking about that cargo, did we determine how much its worth?"

"About 208 million rupies worth, sir."

"Really? That's some important cargo, Jake. You had better get it home."

"But, sir, couldn't we transport it to another..."

"No, Jake, the Tristar is perfect for the the job."

Fleming knew that any other ship in the fleet could have handled the transport just fine. He also knew that Command was considering transfering Telasnor to an administration position within TASC, and would need a replacement for the 5th fleet command. Fleming had demostrated all the qualities of a great general. He realized that Telasnor knew this, and was determined to keep him from taking his position, and as long as Fleming was kept away from the action, his name wouldn't stand out in any reports, and TASC would never know of his potential.

"Aye, sir."

The comm channel closed with a click.

"Helm, plot a fold for Tirol immediately."

"Aye, sir."

The MIC Tristar slipped into the hyperspace fold with a blinding white flash.

** Commander Mueller to all ships ... launch all T-Wing Fighters ... and

( Soon Defiant Class Starships & T-Wing Fighters can be seen launching from all ships )

** DCS Commanders I want you to set up a defense perimeter around the Planet with half of your numbers and patrol the solar system with the rest ... T-Wing Squadron Leaders I want you to go planetside ... you are now assigned the planet ground forces near the Capital City ... Mueller Out **

Captain Roth stared out at the grassy plains of the planet as they made their final aproach on the main Tsurani defensive posion. All the modified starcraft and the Xanoth herself landed gracefully on the plains near the main defensive position. Turning on the eternal pa system Roth comunicated to the Tsurani "I am captian Roth of the EverQueens Fleet My crew and I have brought supplies and firepower to aid you, now let me speak to the man in charge of this position."

"Mater I have Readied the Pheonix gard and we are now ready to see the Tsurani." Said the apprentice
"Let us go then" Teclis.
At that moment a faint clear haze could be visible as the Mages consentrated and expanded ther magical anergy around the ships already begining the transportation.

OOC Bugger, can't be bothered to log out of my puppet.

IC The Emperor signaled, and there was a trumput blast as the Colonial Guard lined up, bringing Spear rifles to their shoulders, their pulse swords at their belts. They wore the white and Gold of the Emperor, and the Emperor sent a thought to bring Roth and his crew through. As they did, the Pulse Swords came with a ring of steel. They pointed them at 45 Degrees. The Emperor smiled, as the entire street rippled with the combined pulse, as the swords had rings of Blue to go across the blade. He smiled, when they reached him, he intended to bring on the fanfare, soon.

OOC Zach, Stay on, I am going to start the post for Lithia and caputing her.

*The MIC Halberd, orbiting Medkima*

General Eli Telasnor sat upright reading field reports in his command chair on the bridge of the Halberd. An officer approached him.

"Sir, all Veritech squadrons have been refueled and rearmed and flight teams and crews are ready for transport. All infantry have been relocated to the surface of the planet and the dropships have returned."

"Very well, order the flight teams to the dropships and have the fighters escort them to the surface."

"Aye, sir."

200 dropships that would normally carry infantry then ferried the flight teams to the Tsurani frontline base, escorted by veritechs.

The bolt of fire penetrated the Spirit Ward and impacted against a grunt's chest armor. The spell spent the grunt spinning, but otherwise unharmed.
"Aka'thoramar! We under attack!"
Tojara raised his vibroblade to the sky as cries of "lok'tar ogar!" and "aka'thoramar!" swept through the Horde. The massive sharpened slab of thorium was not activated, however.
"Still yourselves, warriors! They are small and of no threat."
His eyes flashed and several albino Tauren vanished. They reappeared several moments later behind the Goblin force, immediately immobilizing the mage with a spell of Purge. The mage suddenly found himself with the Blademaster's weapon beneath its chin. The mighty koo'teen snarled, his tusks bared.
"Who are you? You look like us, small one, but no Orc would attack its own kind unless..."
Tojara's eyes flashed, and he pressed his blade further into the Goblin's flesh.
"Unless they were under the Legion's foul influence. Kara Kil'jaeden!"

Roth and his luitenete pushed ther way through the Tsurani forces attempting to reach Arkyla. Eventually after spending five minuts trying to get to him Roth Spotted a flash of gold amongst the pure white of the Tsurani soldiers. "Arkyla," cried Roth "We have brought aid, what do you whant us to do now."

In the Goblin Mountiens

THe Mage looked frightened, never had one of the Morthdrel spells been deflected so easily. He felt the blade penatrate his skin, and fell forward, the weapon cutting his back bone. He slumped to the ground, making gurgaling sounds as he fell to the ground. The Other Goblins started to scream and yell, trying to tell the ork who they where. It took some time, but eventually they where calmed into telling everything.

"We are a powerful race, abnd our numbers are much greater then the southerners. But they use their own magic, strange things that shoot metal, and weapons that fly through the sky to wipe out our cities. Thus we live mostly underground, but soon we will rule the southland, and we will have anything we want. Then we shall feast on their blood, and all will be well." He snarled. Then he looked at the Ork. "YOU COUD LEAD US!" He screamed. "You know their magic, plus your own, together we will be able to crush the southlands, and all who live there." He seemed to bubble with excitment.

The Blademaster seemed to listen for a moment, then his eyes flashed and he spoke in Orcish to the rest of his people. There was murmuring, and a young shaman trotted up to Tojara.
"I smell not the Legion's taint on them, Blademaster. My guess is that they are not Orcs, but some other race similar to our own. They seem bent on defeating these 'southerners'. Mayhap they mean the same paleskins that hold our objective?"
"It is possible..."
"Grok'dral, Blademaster."
"Yes. It is possible, Grok'dral," the Blademaster said as he turned back to the largest Goblin. "You! Small one! Know us and know us well. We are the Horde, the loyal servants of the WarChief Durotan Dreamweaver and the Draenei'kul, the Chosen of Draenor. You, small one, will take us to your leader. We may yet decide to aid your cause, should it serve our purposes."

The Goblin Mountines.

The Creature nodded, and scuttled away, not looking back to see if the Orks followed. They took the Orks to a huge tunnel, and they where immidiatly challagned by a force almost 5 thousand in strength. The Goblin chittered, and its eyes shifter colour. After a time, the Guards let them past, and the Goblin gestured to the Orks to follow.

After an hour of Travaling the tunnels, the orks where ushered into the great hall. The name was true, for the hall streached as far as the eye could see. They walked along for almost another hour, before they reached the Most powerful Goblin Lord, the Goblin King.

"Who are you?" It Creaked. "How did you deflect the most powerful of my mages? What is your skill. Why have you come?" It looked at the Orks size and smiled. "Don't belive your power will help you, I command over ten billion warriors, and your people could never match that. He cackled, and then drew power from the Darkness around him. "Magic is a wonderful thing, I have felt there is my match down in the south, you will searve me." Once again the Evil cackle. "Welcome to the servent hood of me."

OOC Hehe, never saw that coming did you? No winging about their numbers, they are still medieval tech.

In Sethanon

The Emperor hugged Roth, and kissed him on the forhead, then the cheaks. He was smiling all the time, and once done, look apologeticly at Roth.

"Sorry my friend, The Tsurani are crazy for ceromony." He said quietly. "It has to happen, or they will hate me. Now, come inside, we will talk more then."

The Blademaster studied this Goblin for a moment, seeming purplexed. He then threw his head back and laughed. His laugh was a terrible, booming laugh that filled the hall and reverberated off its walls.
"Oh, that was a good laugh. I have not laughed that much since the Legion wars. To think, a small one such as you trying to command the koo'teen of the WarChief of the Horde!"
The Blademaster's eyes flashed again, and there was suddenly a strong breeze in the hall.
"Should I wish it, I could order my fleet to bombard this planet from the void, making the attacks of the southerners seem like the buzzing of flies. Should I wish it, my shamans shall call forth a storm the likes of which you cannot imagine. Should I wish it, I could tear this very hall apart by myself."
The Blademaster's hand flashed, and before any of them could register it, one of the Goblins let out a terrified cry. The Blademaster's had was on the hilt of his vibrosword, which was back in its scabbard. However, the Goblin fell backward, split in two. It was as if the ancient Orc's hand had never moved.
"Purge him."
Three bolts of lightning hit the Goblin king, breaking whatever spell he was concocting and forming a sort of bubble between him and the inherent magics of the world. The Blademaster stepped up to the small Goblin, merely pushing aside his guards as if they were simply draenorian wolf pups that got in his way. He picked up the tiny creature either by its skin or by its clothing, he couldn't tell which, and bared his tusks.
"Know my name, small one, and know it well. I am Tojara the Blademaster. I am a loyal servant of Durotan Dreamweaver, the WarChief of the Draenei'kul. We are the Horde, bug, and it is you who serves me."

OOC Wow, Good response.

IC The Goblin king watched the orks Tusks, showing no outward fear. He felt around in his mind thinking for something to use. When he found his energy drained, his mask broke, and he seemed to shrivle. His eyes flashed a number of different colours, before he was pumped full of arrows from his own kind. Then there was a wispering as the hall filled. The Goblin Lords where no more, The Northen Kingdom had been formed.

OOc Now the Goblins are under Gaia Rondina, I can Focus on more importent things.

IC The Emperor took Roth to the Command room, where a number of maps where. The Emperor had marked a off the Mountines, so that each pass had a guard.

"I want you and your people to guard the Cannyon that is near the Lake of the Sky and the Iron Mountine. If you hold that, then I will be able to rest easy. I can guard the pass at Highcastle, Kormanthor can guard Northwarden, and so on. Now, take your men, when this is over we can tell war stories." He laughed, then left the room.

OOC2 Ok, the map should be attached, I have marked your location with the First letter of your name. Note NE and Black XIII are with me.

Edit Damn, didn't work, ok, Just use the names, Megas is on the far right, Followed by Kor, then me, then Gronde, then The EverQueen, then THR. This way all the passes are blocked. Thank you.

OOC: FYI, the Thor's Hammer is a support weapon made by New Exodus that uses a charged particle beam to create a path for electrical discharge. A massive burst of electricity arcs across the ionized air and strikes the target.

IC:
"We shall scorch them with our lasers, fry them with the lightning of Thor's hammer, and riddle them with bullets. For the honor of Lord Mordoc, we shall repel these Orkish invaders!"

The Black XIII commander's rallying cry was met with a deafening cheer from the assembled mercs. The basic fortifications were completed, and now the work centered around adding in more of the specialized gear (such as the Thor's Hammer units) brought by the New Exodus vessels. A few simple obstacles (like remote-detonated explosives) and traps (like deadfalls and slippery passes) were also being arranged on the slopes of the mountains to discourage any flanking maneuvers. Still, there was no telling when the enemy would arrive, and rather than sit and grow complacent, the troops were attending morale boosting rallies like this one in their off hours.

Commander how many Modified SPHA-T's and Devastators have our combined forces been able to produce to date?

Five Hundred of each Commodore

Thats not good enough, I want production stepped up .... oh & have
those vehicles transported to the Northwarden Pass. Secondly I want the
T-Wing & Speeder Bike Squadrons to start 24 hr. sorties against the Orcs.
Finally I want all our Hornet & Wasp Class Attack Helicopters transported down there too.

Wasp Class Attack Helicopter

Aye Aye Sir

( Soon afterwards one thousand Anti-Grav landers simmered into existance on the east end of the Northwarden Pass. Half Devastators /
Half Modified SPHA-T's )

Note: " Devastators " are the landers made famous in War of the Worlds:

http://usera.imagecave.com/Kormanth...86_-715x450.jpg

The Devastator Anti Grav Lander

Height: 20 ft.
Width: 60 ft.
Length: 25 ft.
Weight: 125,000 lb's
Weapon: Movable snake-like Three Sectioned Laser Eye

Modified SPHA-T's are Self Propelled Anti-Grav Heavy Artillery-Turbolaser landing vehicles based on the Imperial SPHA-T. Each one utilizies a rotating turbolaser that has temendous range and is capable of penetrating defector shields. Which is backed up by twelve retractable antipersonnel blasters and shields of course.

Tojara chose a boulder and, in a swipe of his vibrosword that was invisible to the eye, carved himself a crude throne.
"You small ones are now under the command of me, and subsequently, WarChief Durotan Dreamweaver. I know not what to call you, so for now you will be known as Goblins. It is the name we gave to a race of smaller Orcs that died out on Draenor years ago. For now, your military will be divided up amongst my commanders. The first group, commanded by Gor'thak, shall head out to salvage what they can from the wreckage of our ship. The second, commanded by Grok'dral, shall immediately begin construction of vibroblades and a spirit amplifier. With it, we will communicate with my master, who will send us reinforcements. The third, which will be headed by the Tauren chieftan Marn Brokehoof, will construct defenses at all entrances to our new realm. The Southerners will have likely brought in allies, and will want to remove us from this world." He chuckled. "It's about time they learn the true strength of the Horde. The rest of you, prepare to move out! We must begin raids against the Southerners to find our objective. Remember, our goal is not to slaughter the paleskins, but to find technology the Horde can use against the Legion. Lok'tar ogar!"

The Horde responded with a hearty roar of "Lok'tar ogar", and immediately began rounding up Goblins. They would soon call for reinforcements, and no army could withstand the full might of the Horde.

THe Emperor smiled, and took his personal Hammerhead fighter to the most powerful city on the planet. The City of Krondor. He was acomponied by three of his white guard, using the same ship he was. They flew in a tringle behind the Emperor, who speed on ahead. Within fifteen to twenty minutes, the city could be seen.

Arkyla Slowed in Awe, the city was huge, it was almost as big as the holy city had been. All around the building where winged being, walking, moving, meeting in the air. His ships where allowed to pass, and he was intercepted by three guards in blue intercepted him. He followed, and landed on a helicopter pad outside one of the buildings. He got out of the cockpit, and moved towards the door, where he was intercepted by two guards at least half his size again. He shivered, and moved through the doors.

IC: Field General Simon Hayes smiled to himself. This was his first major assignment as a field commander. This could be his chance to prove himself to TASC. He turned to his subordinates and gestured to a map.

"Gentlemen, we have 315 Veritechs, 200 Centaur tanks, and 3,500 Cyclone infantrymen. Now, my plan is to divide them into 3 main forces, and 2 smaller ones. We will construct 3 bases in the mountains, Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie, each with an airstrip, and begin bombing runs on the orcs within 2 (NS) days.
Any questions?"

*A Colonel spoke up*
"Sir, I've heard that these orcs can manipulate people's minds, like make them see stuff that really isn't there, and stuff like that."

"Are you really that naive that you believe in all that hocus-pocus magic stuff? This isn't a fairy tale, colonel, this is war. The enemy isn't going to run out here and wave a magic wand, rhyme a verse, and blow us all up. Does that answer your question?"

"Yes, sir..."

"Good. Mobilization in 1 hour. Dismissed!"

*The officers shuffled out of the staff room with apparent distrust of their superior. The fact was their was more going on here than just conventional warfare, and they knew it.*

OCC Note: The Shadow Horizon Class Star Yacht serves as Captains Yachts aboard all my Capital Ships.

The Shadow Horizon Class Star Yacht

Like many star yachts the Shadow Horizon is built around a study frame
that begins fairly wide at the engines and tapers forward until reaching the
narrow triangular cockpit.
Known for its twin retractable Kh-2j Laser Cannonswhich are mounted on small turrents with a wide firing arc. Which are backed up by two concealed
TyKor Jk-91 Concussion Missile Launchers, each with a magazine of twelve
high yield photon torpedos, as well as Ventral & Dorsal Phaser Strips. All weapons are linked through a Kor Scan OVC 73 Multiple Option " Shoot Back " targeting computer linked to a Electro Telescope that can be set to automatically shoot down any craft that opens fire on the Shadow Horizon.
Shadow Horizons legendary speedcomes from finely tuned twin Kor Au-94 Ion Drives and redesigned Class 0.5 Hyperdrive Engines.
An extremely advanced long range sensor suite complete with bow, stern, port, starboard, ventral & dorsal visual scanners, jamming devices, sensor decoys, false transponder code relays, & multiple remote control slave circuits that can summon the barge over long distances make the Shadow Horizon a
very special Star Yacht indeed.
Our engineers didn't stop there however, the Shadow Horizon boast a
holograhic communications array that can send and recieve message to &
from the outer rim if necessary. We integrated a tractor beam into the the reconfigured aft docking bay to launch and retrieve a small droid controled starfighter that comes preprogrammed with a variety of evasive maneuvers and attack patterns.
The crew sits beneath a massive transparisteel canopy that provides breath taking views of surrounding space and crystal clear images of enemy
starships.

OoC-Korm...my main nation's largest vessel is 17 km long, and that's with the technology of most of the ESUS behind me. I hope you've only got one of those.


Near to Tojara's throne, a spirit amplifier was being erected. Most of the weaponry from the downed dis'troyah had been salvaged by the industrious Goblins, and were being set up around the borders of this new nation. Tojara called a young shaman to his side.
"You, shaman, must trek south."
"South, my lord?"
"Yes, child. South. Though our warriors are strong, I have sensed the presence of many, many more paleskins coming through their own portals above us. Even if we were to equip these small Goblins with our weaponry, I doubt we would stand much chance."
"What is it you want me to do, Blademaster?"
"You must make contact with the southrons, they are the ones most likely to be controlling the other paleskins. You are to bring them here in peace. Tell them...tell them I have a proposition for them."
"Aka'thoramar!" screamed the young subordinate, then he quickly composed himself. "Forgive my language, Blademaster, but the Horde does not...negotiate...with those possibly associated with the Legion!"
"If they are aligned with those demons, then we would already be dead. You must go, child, and quickly. Take two grunts with you."
"Zug zug, Blademaster."

And with that, the young shaman and a pair of grunts set out across the barren wastes of the North. For three days they ran, stopping only to replenish their supplies. They then came to the Megas pass, peering over the ridge at the paleskins.

Above the planet, a rift in space tore open and three ships coursed through. They continued straight towards the planet. They were obviously warships, and a low-tech trio at that, with only missiles and directed nuclear blast cannon. The trio stopped over what appeared to be a large gathering of armies, then moved back up into a low orbit.

this third degree about? I've had Pile Driver Technology for probly longer then you are old. So why don't you just give it a rest.

OOC: Korm, I don't think it was an implication of wanking. I think GR was just pointing out that such a vessel will be a big problem for the Orcs, since they don't have anything near that size.

Orcs! Holy Crap!

Tsurani space

Rectangular netherspace gates opened, revealing a pair of Orcish raiding fleets and a heavy assault fleet.

Aboard the dred'not Drae'nai kul, the FarSeer was suddenly assaulted by the thoughts of the numerous different beings in the system. He quickly recovered, however, and summoned the Tauren Spirit Walkers to his side. These white Tauren were the mystics of the minotaur-like race, and their powers rivaled those of the Orcish Shamans.

The dred'not powered up its big spearthrowers (heavy railcannons) and lightning catapults (ion guns). With his powers bolstered by the Spirit Walkers, the FarSeer sent a mental message to the numerous vessels and the people on the planet.

This world shall be conquered by the Horde. Surrender your ships and technology to us, and you shall not be harmed. Comply and we shall be gone within the planetary cycle.



Alarm klaxxons sounded throughout the Orcish vessels. Though not very heavily armed in terms of destructive technology, the ships possessed sophisticated disabling technology in the form of their lightning catapults. They used these catapults to knock out the electronics aboard enemy vessels, then overwhelm the ship with boarding pods and transports. Few ships had ever been destroyed by the Horde, most had been captured. Orcish grunts, Tauren elite warriors, and Troll Headhunters piled haphazardly onto the pods and prepared for launch. The Orcish troop transports, known as zeppelins, were loaded with Orc shamans, blademasters, Troll Witch Doctors, Tauren Spirit Walkers, Shadow Hunters, and even a few lower-ranking FarSeers.



The FarSeer sensed the hostility brimming from the alien vessels, and immediately ordered a scrambling of all Drak'qua fighters. There were a single car'yer in each of the raiding fleets, and four of the massive hollow craft in the assault fleet, leading to a total of six car'yers. There were twenty-six of the small friggits and ten dis'tryoahs, not to mention the massive dred'not. All in all there were around two hundred and seventy of the drak'qua fighters, and hundreds of lightning catapults. Most of them immediately targetted the Halberd and fired several volleys. These were designed to knock out shielding and point defenses, and were immediately followed by hundreds of boarding pods. Twelve friggits broke from the main fleet and went after the Veritech squadrons, following the swarms of Drak'quas.

[quote=Kormanthor]

Just as the orc ships fire on the Halberd, Kor Fleet comes screaming out of D-Space.... the Dark Raven entering normal space from the orcs rear dorsal sector, simutaniously the Unificatum, enters normal space from the orcs
ventral sector. The Raven & Unificatum fire their Super Laser Cannons at the massive dred'not hitting it with Planet Killer Force on both ends of the ship.
Which is immediately followed by their combined 800 Turbo Lasers, 600 Ion Cannons firing both ship killing & electrical frying energy, as well as 700 Concussion Missile Tubes firing energy dampner torpedoes ( which open holes in enemy shields ) followed by Drouda Warp AI Missiles with Destroyer Nanites ( that are designed to eat the hull of the target ship ) at the rest of the orc fleet. Vindictive, Lexington, Star Empire & Cynshu enter normal space from the enemy fleets stern; all four firing 60 Laser Cannons & 60 Ion Cannons each
straight up the orcs backsides.
From either side ( Port & Starboard ) 200 Defiant Class Starships, & 216 T-Wing Warp Fighters enter firing Warp Pulse Phaser Cannons, Quantum Photon Torpedoes, Ion Cannons, & Proton Torpedoes. Suddenly the Orc Fleet finds
themselves in a deadly crossfire meant to slaughter them before they know
what hit them.

T-Wing Warp Fighter


As the Kormanthor fleet exited D-space, the FarSeer sensed their arrival. He immediately ordered a full firing of the particle beam point defense weapons, effectively nullifying the threat of concussion missiles and torpedoes. The phasers and turbolasers impacted against the spirit wards, dropping them slightly. The pirated technology held, however, showing the Korm ships that this was not going to be an easy fight. Unlike the tactics used with the Halberd, the heavy spearthrowers swiveled and opened fire on the encroaching fleet.

Just as the FarSeer was allowing himself a small celebration for outsmarting the Korm fleet, he was hit by the massive psychic wave unleashed by the Emperor. He reeled from the assault, falling from his wooden throne to the mossy deck. Just as he was about to fade to blackness, the Spirit Walkers came to his aide. They forced back, sending a mental shockwave of equal strength back against the Emperor. The FarSeer, recovering from the shock, then noticed the powerful minds approaching his battle fleets.

Lok'nar osh, my brothers! The enemy must have shamans! Link yourselves to me, brothers, and we shall combat this evil!

The Shamans still on the Drae'nai kul linked their minds to the FarSeer, as did the Spirit Walkers and Witch Doctors. They rallied an impressive psychic assault, which the FarSeer kept growing in one corner of his mind while he sent a warning to the attacking minds.

Lok'tar, Shamans. I know not who you are, but know that you are not my enemy. I am simply under orders from the WarChief to gain this system's technology. I seek not to battle with fellow Shamans.

Here's one Orc Starship Class that could be a problem...

Fort'riss (command ship)

Length: 19.58 km / 64,239 ft. / 12.166 Miles
Beam: 13.85 km
Height: 1.5 km
Crew: 5,032 + fighter pilots
Weapons: 1,032 big spear thrower’s , 44,302 particle beams , 240 lightning catapults
Compliment: 130 fighters

.... I don't know how many of these little beauties he has, but I figured I
better at least try to be as ready for them as I can be.
Besides the Pile Driver is here as protection for The Princess, her associates & my Jedi's, whom are here to try to even the playing field in the
Supernatural Arena.
Further, I have been asked to protect the planet as well from all hostile comers, I think the Orcs qualify. So I'll put it like this the PD will only be used against the Orcs if they somehow overpower the Commodores Fleet, and they are in danger of being destroyed by the Orcs. Or if something bad happens to the Princess or her Associates while they are here. Which should be extremely
difficult, but I have seen his use of those powers before. Is there a reason that I should believe that he won't use them again as if he were god and we are nats to be killed.

OoC-I have about five Fort'riss class ships. However, for political reasons, I can only use about one or two for a single engagement. The WarChief commands three, and the WarChief's advisors each command one. There are several others that have been taken by 'rogue' Orc clans.



Growing bored, the young shaman and his escorts quickly left the pass guarded by the troops from Megas. The shaman would have killed to spirit walk and avoid detection, but feared that the Legion's hands would lock onto him if he misjudged his entrance to the Nether. The trio headed out at high speed, trying to bypass the blockades. However, at every turn they faced opponents. The shaman kept his two warriors at bay, however, knowing that the enemy's numbers would overwhelm the mighty Orcs. The shaman stretched out his will and asked the planet itself for help.
Spirit of Wind, hear my plea. We, the Draenei'kul, seek to safeguard this and all worlds from the darkness of the Burning Legion. However, those residing in your grace, who breath your air and take comfort in your warm winds, are keeping us from our goal. Please, aid this humble one.
No sooner had he asked then the wind responded. A fierce tempest picked up, throwing snow everywhere and masking the three Orcs from view. The shaman beseeched Fire next.
Spirit of Fire, hear the pleas of this young one. We, the Draenei'kul, seek to safeguard this and all worlds from the darkness of the Burning Legion. However, those residing in your grace, who have harnessed your strength without yor permission and seek to use it against those who help the land, are keeping us from our goal. Please, aid this humble one.
Fire, the most unruly of the elements, took time to respond. However, within a few minutes several bolts of lightning struck a nearby mountainside and caused an avalanche.
Spirit of Water, hear my plea. Your avalanche, in all its glorious might, shall overtake this young one and those who aid him. I beseech you, should you find it in your will, to divert this and bury our enemies, who unknowingly harm you and this world.
Suddenly, the avalanche changed paths and cascaded over a Kormanthor patrol. The shaman let out a whoop and thanked the Spirits profusely. Then, without a second thought, he and his companions set out. They ran quickly, not realizing until it was too late...
...that they had stumbled upon the Kormanthor base.

OOC No more OOC Arguments, I hate them! If I have a problem, then I will say something. If you complain, do it somewhere else, no more arguments, please.

IC

Krondor, Capital of the Weastern Kingdoms, the Free Cities and Queq.

The Building Arkyla entered was open, and light flooded in the many windows. All around there where side paths, but his guide headed down the main passage, even though they seemed to have pasted the same spot 12 times. Arkyla soon had lost direction, and sighed when they reached a large door. The Guide Gestured, and he walked through, suprised to see who stood before him........

In Sethanon

Inside the bowls of the city, there was a rumbiling. The People ignored it, immune to such tremmors. After the second made a section of the acient walls collapse there was a few murmers. There was one more shudder, that would be felt world over, before a green beam of light shot from the exact center of the city. People pointed, some beliving there was an orbital bombardment comencing. Thus, they where suprised when the beam fired upwards, towards space, and seemed to contine anabated. This continued for almost 5 minutes, at which point the whole show stoped, and one lone figure floated in the sky. The people pointed, but said nothing, for they where used to such displaies. The woman in the sky laughed, then dissapered.

Krondor

The Emperor stood stunned, all around sat 5 compleatly different creatures. While all had similer body shape, as well as height, their indivitual aspects where amazing. The one at the head of the table was almost human, besides the fact that he had two large wings, and he was almost 9 feet tall. The one too his left was fat, almost pudgy, but it seemed to belong on him. His wings where smaller, and the leathery part seemed to be too small for flight. The one next to him was taller, almost 11 foot, and its wings went above its head almost 2 more feet and the skin was a deep brown. The One to the right of the head of the table had a Blue body, with wings that looked like they would be more affective in the water, and almost unidentifiable gills. The One next to him was praticly human, it had no wings, and it was only 7 feet high. If did not have clawed hands, then it would just be a tall human. They stood as he entered, and he Bowed to them each in turn.

"Welcome, Emperor." Said the one at the table head. "I am the Minister of Krondor, this one on my left is the Defender of the North passes. The Black one to the south is the President of Great Kesh, this man on my right is the king of Rillanon, and the one that is like you is the Reprisentative of the Free Cities." He gestured to the seat the door edge of the table. "Sit."

In the North

The Woman apperared in the sky, gliding down in front of the Goblin and two orks. She was compleatly naked, and her body was in perfect unison, perfect proportion. Had anyone been immune to the Arora she amited, one of pure power. To one who understood magic, she could have been sensed the other side of the planet. But the most amazing thing about her was that the power could be sensed a mile away by the most unsesative person in the world. She held out her hands, and a Emerald the size of a rock appered. She looked at the GOblin, then the orks.

"Such weak creatures." She said to them. "Bow to me, master."

OoC-LT? Are you talking about the party that just blundered into the Korm camp? Or are you talking about a different scouting party? If it's the first, then all three are Orcs.

*Megas Base Charlie, about a mile from the avalanche*

"Red Dragon One, you are clear for go, good luck Blitz." the air controller keyed into the comm channel.

Red Dragon One, call-sign Blitz, soared into the air, accompanied by the rest of Red Dragon sqaudron, 5 more YF-4 Lightnings. They sped off toward the avalanche site, arriving in mere seconds. Blitz gave the order to Battloid mode, and six 40ft. humanoid behemoths landed. They exited their cockpits to secure the area and beheld a site of wonders. The woman was beautiful, perfect beyond comparison. She seemed to have the orcs in some kind of suspended animation. Blitz watched intently, trying to discern whether his enemy's enemy was indeed his friend.

OOC The one In Kor's Camp, I though one was an Goblin sorry.

OCC: I'm going to assume that the patrol affected by the avalanche was a
speeder bike squadron near one of the mountains because they are the only type operating close enough to the planet surface to possibly be affected. Even so they would have had to have been stopped for some reason for it to
have a chance to catch them.



Lt. Randy Kline had lead his three man speeder bike recon force near the base of Alpha Mountain ( left side of the pass ) looking for ORC patrols. They had set up a temporary encampment after a grueling twelve hour patrol to get some shut eye and had been awakened when the mountain suddenly started to rumble from deep within up near the top. They realized the danger as it exploded outward, and started a huge avalanche cascading down the mountain slope at breakneck speed towards them.
Even though still groggy from sleep the three men realized that death was making a play for their lives, so although still in their long johns the soldiers jumped up and ran full tilt for the Speeder Bikes. As Randy ran for all he was worth he remembered his high school track team days, he had been a very fast sprinter in the hundred yard dash.
Unfortunately even his record making running speed wasn’t enough to save him, for just as he jumped onto his Speeder and started the bikes engine to attempt escape … the avalanche caught up with them … mowing them down & burying them under tons of stone and earth.

Suddenly, the avalanche changed paths and cascaded over a Kormanthor patrol. The shaman let out a whoop and thanked the Spirits profusely. Then, without a second thought, he and his companions set out. They ran quickly, not realizing until it was too late...
...that they had stumbled upon the Kormanthor base.

OCC: Here I will assume that you are speaking of my forces blockading the
southern end of the pass.

Several hours after the arrival the saucer to the southern end of the pass. The ships sensors that had been set to scan for Orc Forces, causes alarms to begin sounding as soon as the orcs stumbled into the outer perimeter.
Unfortunately for the Orcs their arrival also activates a spell of protection called … a Phantasmal Killer . This spell creates a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the subject/s. The Killer then mentally attacks the subjects causing fear so strong they usually always die from fright alone. The subject/s are the only ones who are effected by or can see the physical details of the Killer. All others see only a vague smokey shape.

From her hidden vantage point ... ShadowKat ( In her magically enhanced Black Panther form ) watches the seen of the Orcs look of great fear is directed towards the smokey shadow thing.

High above the
Avalanche Site

* Tango Sierra Foxtrot 795 calling Base, we are declaring an emergency*

* Base here ... what is the nature of your emergency TSF 795 *

* Sir, there has been a Avalanche at our location ... and I need emergency
a medical & excavation team immediately. One of our speeder bike recon
squads were unable to get away from it *

* Understood TSF 795 ... we are depatching teams immediately *

Avalanche Site

Minutes later the Rescue Teams arrive at the Avalanche Site and begin
the task of digging out their fallen brotheren.

Within the Saucer

Princess Ty'Ara & Lady Bayreth have just finished casting Dimensional Lock spells over the Capital City, the southern end of the pass forces & the avalanche site.

Note: This spell creates a simmering emerald barrier that completely blocks extradimensional travel of psionic abilities and of
magical spells. But does not effect or block the casters abilities in any way.

One of the grunts fell backward in fear.
"Hold! We are Orc! Not cowardly Goblins!"
The shaman, who had given the order, was quivering in his own wolfskin boots. He sensed his abilities dulled suddenly for some reason. They must have their own magic...
That's it!
During the war with the Legion, the demons had used spells to sow confusion and chaos into the ranks of the Horde.
Abandon your reliance upon the magics, young one, and seek oneness with the world. The voice of his old mentor came back to the shaman, and as he stared into the maw of the massive Oktorok Spi'dah beast, he asked he Spirit of the Wild for aid. The great spirit was slow in coming, but the Spirit is where there is life.
Great Spirit of the Wilds...hear me please. How is it that an alien beast such as the Oktorok Spi'dah has come to you realm?
No such beast exists, Draenei'kul. It is a ruse.
He pleaded to the Spirit of Fire for a lightning strike, and recieved it. The bolt disrupted the warlock spell, proving to the Orcs that it was false.
"Quickly, brothers, give me the standard!"
One of the grunts, a large Orc bearing one of the powerful repeater cannnons, reached into his pack and pulled out a tattered piece of cloth. It had on it the print of a wolf's head, wreathed in blue flames. It was the Orcish standard of Truce. The shaman took the flag and waved it at the humans surrounding him.


"Throm'ka!" he shouted, his eyes pleading. "Orc'hai nub klomp shara'hai! Orc'hai bait Gobo'hai! Me shaman, me bugd uzg! Nub wanta flat! Bubhosh clomp'r srinkh shara'hai blah nub komp! Nub klomp! Nub klomp! Shara gruk?"

Without warning a beautiful human woman appears out of thin air … she wears a blood red, skin tight, long sleeved, V neck mini dress with Red & Black Gauntlets extending nearly to her elbows . The V neck extends down to her beltline, to a large Yellow M belt buckle, exposing the center portion of her breast and mid drift. Her waist length blonde hair, a lighter red cloak on her back and a thinner version of the cloak attached to the bottom of her belt buckle were all blowing to her left side in the wind. Matching knee high high heeled boots adored her feet. Her stunning blue eyes sparkled a subtle warning to all that she was not one to be trifled with.
Then she spoke to the three Orcs … Throm'Ka Draenei'kul ( "Hail and well met ,Chosen of Draenor" ) ... few can stand the gaze of the Phantasmal Killer and live to tell the tale. I am Lady Moonette Bayreth , I am the Narthei”kul ( the Chosen of Narth ) from the Nelchizedeke Cluster of the Andromeda Galaxy. Tell me why you deserve my
mercy after you have killed three of my kin.

The Woman watched the orks clumsy spells, laughing when it actually asked the planet, such creatures where not worthy of her, but then again, none where worthy of her, except that human. She moved towards the orks, intending to stop them in their tracks, but immidiatly turned to stare at the human woman. She could sense power emitting from the human, and her hunger became apparent. She pushed the feeling aside, more importent things needed to be done. She turned to the orks and smiled, something that showed no emotion. She took the banner off the ork, and held it high in the air, a primal scream emitting from her lips. The scream echoed throught the world, and the planet seemed to shake in fear. She smiled, she had returned to the home of her race, the Valheru had returned.

In the south in Krondor, the city shook. The first time in the cities history there was an earthquake, but this was not issolated, it was everywhere, all around, the world trembled in fear, it had once, long ago, manipulated a boy to get a piece of armour, to save the world, yet put it to much risk. This time they had returned of their own accord, and the world had not the power to repell her, thus, she readied to submit.

OOC No more trying to ask the elements, the world is now under Valheru power, this will change soon, but it is will be proper fighting, no psykic is avalible for the time.

The shaman screamed a battlecry to the woman who had taken his standard. He held his hand out towards the spirit and called for a lightning strike...

...but none came. The Spirit of Fire did not even answer him. He called for a tempest, but there was no response yet again. This confused the young shaman. The elements always responded, whether negatively or positively. They never simply ignored a shaman.
Then, he realized why. Somehow, this strange spirit that had taken his standard had also taken this ability to speak with the elements. This treachery could not be taken lightly.

"AKA'THORAMAR! KLOMP ZA KRIMP'R! LOK'TAR OGAR! THRAK BOOMSTIK!"
(Ambush! Kill the spirit! Get ready for glorious battle! Use the guns!)
The two grunts hefted their repeater cannons and let loose. The triple-barreled anti-armor machine guns screamed as hot thorium flowed from them like water at the strange spirit. The shaman turned to the human. He pleaded for the Spirit of the Wilds to aid him in speaking human, but it did not come. Ergo, he was forced to speak in Orcish ((curse you, LT))
"Throm'ka, Narthei'kul. Zult'r tincan nub wanta has'zuth flat shara. Senta me aga peesa. Wanta boomstik agh tin'dush. Clomp duumpguul. Narthei'kul gruk?"
(Well met, chosen of Narth. The Blademaster does not want much death with humans. He sent me to negotiate peace. He only wants guns and technology. We wish to kill the demons. Chosen of Narth understand?)

OOC Hehe, now te Emperor shows his REAL strenght.

Krondor

The Emperor felt the tremors of power and cursed, damn that Valheru was useless. He stood up and noded to the council, an understanding had come betwen them in the last minute. He smiled, and moved into a coner of his mind. He searchd, nothing, he looked around, nothing, the damn woman had cut him off. He sighed, and went down, to a place befornd the planets reach. He searched, and found what he needed, the sun, within its core a magic node more powerful then all the nodes of a hundred worlds. He smiled, and drew enegy from it, sending him to the start of the termmors.

To th North

As soon as he reached the mountines, he sent a huge amount of power at the Back of the Valheru. The Valheru was watching the bullets, and n look of pain crossd her face when they riped her skin. She quickly repaired herself, right before getting crushed in the back by the Emperors attack. The Emperor then slowly advanced, a red light begining to glow around him.

"Listen to me well," He said to the collapsed creature. "You have no right over this world, your kind where banished, your power is a shadow, give them the standard back, so I may make a benficial treaty for this world. Now release this world!"

Yes I understand, but you have killed three of my kin. This is not something
that you do to potential allies. We have told your leader before that we will
not just hand our technology over to you. Normally we would be willing to sell you technology, however you would probly try to use it against us and our
allies so even that option is unexceptable at this time. I will allow you to leave
so you can give him this message. Now go before I change my mind.

((Damn my limited knowledge of Orcish))

The shaman roared, his cry echoing to the skies. When the Valheru was attacked, he temporarily regained access to the Spirits. He immediately spoke to the Spirit of the Wilds, who granted him the ability to speak Basic. Such rush of knowledge caused the shaman great pain, but he withstood it. He collapsed to one knee in pain, but continued to speak.
"Pagh! Insolent human! You realize not our strength! With the conquering of the Goblin empire, our numbers are in the billions! Not to mention that our WarChief's fleet should be on its way."
The shaman sighed, the other Orcs looking nervous.
"Why should I expect you to help, Chosen of Narth? You know not the enemy we face. You know not what my race has been through, what this entire galaxy shall go through. It is regrettable about your comrades, I had not intended for them to die. The Spirit of the Wilds had other plans for them, and they are with He."
The shaman rose, standing a full head taller than Moonette Bayreth.
"Please, allow me to show you."

Who are you to speak to me of Insolence! Do not threaten me with your might youngester . My Goddess is watching the movements of your fledgling nation, you may be quite sure of that. I am no mere human ... I who have lived for many millennia through the blessings of my Goddess ... MYSTRA... She who is the Mother of All Magic!!! I who am a member of the Royal Council of Elders of the Mighty Triadian Federation, who has made the Nation of Kormanthor one of it's most trusted allies. I who have the ear of the Avatar of the MOST HIGH GOD . You dare to speak of insolence to me!!!!

Immediately her beautiful face darkens as she raises her hands pointing them at the Insolent Orc Shaman, then a thin green ray springs from the points of her fingers which strikes the shaman in the chest.

Note: This is a Ray of Disintegration which carries the ability to kill by
disintegrating the victims entire body from the point of impact out. ( it deals 624 hit points of physical damage because of Moonettes Level )

Now you two will take my message to your leader ... you are to leave this planet or you will all meet your death!!! Then with a wave of her hand the two remaining orcs disappear .... reappearing in their camp.

ooc> Lessr Tsurani, I am going to bring in some troops for you to use to get your world back in order.

ic> The last Tsurani world was still in chaos. Much of the naval forces that had reacted to the orcish ships had already returned home. However, a Battle Barge and 3 battlecruisers, along with a few destroyers and corvettes exited near the planet and took up low orbit. The Battle Barge was a massive behemoth, beautifully crafted, and even more deadly. It bore the dark green colours of the 3rd Gronde Space Marine Chapter; one of the deadliest fighting forces in the galaxy. Normally, when such a ship was called into low orbit, it was to pound the surface with its cannons. However, this was not an option, but the world still needed to be secured.

**Message to Tsurani command**
From: Space marine commander Kalath, 3rd chapter
Greetings, I am Commander Kalath, commander of the 2nd legion of the 3rd chapter. We have been sent by Lord and Master Kalgar. My men are at your desposal.

The Blademaster was outraged. Not only had he lost one of his valued shamans, but it had been during a mission of peace. When the grunt had brought news of the transpirings, Tojara let out a howl of rage that caused several Goblins nearby to wince in pain. It was not so much that the humans had declined his offer of peace, but that the human sorceress had used a demonic spell to disrupt his warriors. The Phantasmal Killer, he recalled, had stopped many Orc legions in the last Demon War. This meant that these humans must have had contact with the Legion in some way or another, which meant they were tainted.
"Glompskull!" roared the venerable Orc. An even older Tauren answered him.
"Yes, Blademaster?"
"How soon until the Fleet arrives?"
"A sevenday, maybe less. Nether is an...unusual area."
"Pagh!" spat Tojara. "Equip the Goblins with whatever we can find! Be ready for glorious battle, my brothers! We shall take this world and the secrets it holds by force!"
The Orcs and Tauren raured in approval. The Trolls didn't look so enthusiastic, and the Goblins were downright terrified as vibroweapons were dolled out.

A flight of Wind Riders were prepped for attack, Orcish warriors putting thin sheets of armor on the chests of the sentient Wyverns and the shamans blessing their brave - if not insane - riders.

The Valheru screamed in pain, for the first time in the history of her race she knew fear. The Emperor was not someone to take lightly, he had created entire worlds from the dust. The Valheru backed away, and the Emperor look her in his gaze. Thus he did not notice the atack on the orks until it was to late. He looked in horror as the woman killed the Shaman, and then sent the other orks back. He moved towards the woman, his hands by his sides clenched. He moved right next to her, and with one punch, brought her to her knees. He then grabbed her hair, puling her face to meet his unholy eyes, pure black in colour.

"How dare you" he shreiked, the body he was in starting to desintergrate. "You put the fate of this world in the balance. [b]Who are you to decide who we shall fight?![b] This is our world, you are here to help, we could have finished this today, but you had to ruin it. Thank you for risking my people!?" He looked her in the eye, while around him his body was turning to sand.

OOC Kor, this is in no way a Personel attack, I wanted to go to war, but now you have provided me with a way to do that AND get my emperor a new body.

OCC: Thats fine ... I will forgive your attack (as long as you are not planning on taking over one of my MAJOR characters, such as Moonette )
but have you ever heard of contingency spells.
If not ... these are spells that have been cast before hand but only take effect if a trigger of some kind happens. When you " tried " to punch / grab her you would only have hit a personal shielding spell, only doing damage to your hand without even touching her person. Being a shaman or whatever your character calls his abililties he should know better then to attack a high level magic user ... even in anger ... especially one who is protected by the Goddess of Magic.
In defense of Moonettes actions these three orcs killed three humans, laughed about it afterwards, then made it sound like it didn't matter. On the other hand Moonette kills only one of the Orcs, mostly from him disrespecting her. Then shows mercy to the other two, but she is considered to be the evil one here?
Please understand, Moonette is an Immortal, Epic Level Sorceress, as is Princess Ty'Ara whom still hasn't made her appearance here yet. Beyond that both are of a Royal House that commands great respect. This type of person would not take the kind of insolence that the Orc Shaman showed her
when she tried to reason with him or for that matter an attack on her person ... so this is how I must RP her reaction to being attacked.

IC:

You DARE touch my person! Consider yourself lucky that my Goddess has instructed me not to retaliate. Is this the way you normally treat allies who's only reason for being here is to defend your world against this mindless aggression. It was not I who decided to bring these orcs to your world to attack you & kill my kinsmen. Take care ... for I will not tolerate such treatment again!

( Then with a dramatic wave of her arms she disappears into thin air)

OOC JUst to let you know, he is using the power of sun, drawing it through his own body. Thus, his mind is a bit muddled. For more info, he would have at least done what the punch usually would have done. But never mind, I am accepting.

IC The Emperor released the rest of the stored up engergy, his body burning into nothing. Had anyone been watching, theywould have thought him dead. But the Emperor had done this before, his power of the mind was exstensive, and he had learnt early that the will to survive could surrvive the death of a body. His mind floated towards the island of Rillioan. There was a body sitting on the throne, a layerof dust had gethered. Once the planet had been ruled by an Empire, but the house system had taken over when the emperor had died. His mind entered the body, familarizing itself with the bodies functions. Then he took over, reviving the dead mind then crushing him. The body became his, and he exited the room.

OCC: Is his powers documented somewhere? I would appreciate being
able to understand the way they work. Also had I have known that your
emperor wished to take the Shamans body over I would not have attacked
it. If I may make a suggestion ... a little RP of the victim trying to fight your
taking over his body would be both entertaining and possibly warn allies of
your intentions.

OOC When I have my website done, then I shall post the info on him. Until then.... BTW, I did not want the shaman, so don;t worry.

Blitz stood still, rigid, as did the other pilots. They did not comprehend what they had just witnessed. Blitz did realize, however, that something more was going on here than just physical fighting. The general was wrong, they were in a fairy tale...

Avalanche Site
The Next Day


For nearly a full day the excavation teams had been searching for the remains of the three men killed in the Avalanche. Finally their goal was realized as the men were uncovered. Their crushed bodies were quickly examined by the Medical Team
who then prepped them for burial and placed them in stasis tubes. They would be sent home to Earth for their funerals & burial services as their families had requested.

The advance elements of the Horde were already flying south. The elite Wind Riders carried their supplies of vibrospears and kept their repeater cannons on their mounts, the mammalian Wyverns. Bordul rubbed the thick brown fur that covered his Wyvern's leonine head.
"We are coming up on the human encampment! Hit and run, leave the heavy stuff for the crawlers!"
The rest of his wing roared in agreement. They dove beneath the clouds, vibrospears in hand. Targetting the nearest AT-AT, the mounted warriors hurled their spears at its "head". The vibrating spearheads could cut through most starship armor, so the walker's armor should've presented no problem whatsoever. Instead of drawing more spears, the riders unhooked their cannons and strafed the encampment with the anti-armor shells.
Not two kilometers distant, a massive surge of Orc warriors and wolf riders charged forward.

OOC Time for the Cavalry to arrive. DUN DUN DUN DUN!!!

IC To the south, an army was massing to fight the goblin hoard. Or at least, they seemed to be massing. Hundreds of different coloured units where taking off, flying north with speed. From great Kesh, Infantry of all types where using their wings to travle to the north mountines, from the foundies of Queg, tanks lifted off sing the anti-Gravity boosters. From Sethanon, a a dropship was flying north, carring a Eldar Webway gate. But these where nothing really, these men and women where trained to fight, some where vetrens, but they had less moral then usual. It was going to take a mirical, none knew one was on the way.

In the planets orbit, a ship almost 8 km in length exited the rift. This was followed by three Necron Tombs. THe TOmbs moved towards three of the planets 4 moons, ignoreing the other ships, while the Beamoth moved towards the planet. The captin sent out a message to the ships surroundingthe planet.

-Let us through, we are Tsurani. We are the Emperor's sons. To deny us passage we will be forced to open fire on you.- With that the ship glided towards Rilliaon.

OCC: Perhaps now would be a good time to take possession of your new
starships. Don't worry I have others waiting in D-Space to replace them
in the Commodores Fleet.

Not two kilometers distant, a massive surge of Orc warriors and wolf riders charged forward.

OCC: You don't fly the lenght of the pass on Wyvern's without my noticing
way ahead of time. I posted earlier that my starships were scanning the entire area. Do you realize just how far of a distance it really is? And
while the vibroblades will cut armor, they can't penetrate energy shields.
As for the anti armor shells I'm not familiar with them.

IC: As the Wyvern riders start their dive … five hundred attack helicopters attack from both sides of the pass while five hundred seventy six T-Wing Star fighters come screaming out of the south with their energy shields on firing all their weapons at the oncoming riders. Simultaneously all the P Towers, DF.9 Anti Infantry Batteries, AT-AT / AT-ST / AT-PT / AT-TE Walkers, SPHA-T’s, infantry using weapons such as the E-web Repeating Blaster, Disruptor Rifles, Flechette Launchers, PLX-2M Missile Tubes start firing at the riders, Orc warriors and wolf riders from the ground … all protected by energy
shields. The Saucer's shields snap on just before her Turbo Lasers, Ion Cannons, Concussion Missile Launchers & Phasers power up and start targeting
the enemy.

UKS Dark Raven

In a very high orbit
of Medkima

CAPTAIN!! I’m registering a rift opening, a fleet of ships claiming to be Tsurani have just entered the system.

Thank You Lt. Shields Up and open a channel to the fleet

Aye Aye Sir * ' In a flash of hand movements on the communications consule opens the channel, then the communications officer speaks * Channel open Sir….

* This is Commodore Arellano of Kormanthor to the Tsurani Fleet we are allies of the Tsurani Empire so technically we are on the same side *

OOC Will do Kor, the problem is that we are undermanned. However.....

IC The White ship glided past the Kor ships, the tractor beams took the three Imperial Craft in tow. The Ship glided smotthly along the ground outsude Rilliaon droping the two Smaller craft on either side, and the larger behind it. The Tsurani left the men to get themselves home, as they had to present themselves to their new Emperor.

In the throne room, Illetrians crowded round the emperor. He was taller then all by at least an arms length. He was a worrier from, there was no doubt. It was, with great timing that the White guard entered the room and bowed. Well, at least the ones that could fit, and they came in and out so others could bow as well. And the Emperor smiled.

OOC My men are still on their way, So NE is on his own until I get there.

Commander Roth Surveyed his men, then the scene before him. Despite its obviose tactical advanteges the canyone would not be an easy place to defend for he would be vastly outnumbered. Still there was hope.

Wilst Telling his troops :
The Xanoth
1000 missile specialists
1000 combat specialist
3 squads of tankhunters ( 3 in each squad )
8 Squads of skirmish tanks ( 10 in each squad )
2 portable defence rail gun platforms
and 2 squads of Plasma artilary ( 4 in each squad )

His battle strategy he heard a whilstle behind him turning around he saw Teclis Lithia Scinethon ( Teclisis son ) and 1 squad of Pheonix quard appear befor his eyes ( 15 per squad.)
"Sorry I took so long, I had to go and retrieve Lithia. Do you know were Arkyla is?" Asked Teclis
"Well..."
"It doesn't matter Ill find him" and with that he was gon again leaving Roth Smiling his slim chance of hope just greatly improved.

Teclis and Scinethon appeared right outside the throne room currently hosting Arkyla. Turning to a suprised guard about to sound the alarm Teclis sent magic coursing through the guards body giving him the gift of understanding why Teclis was here and who he was. While waiting to be allowed entrance he turned to his son and said " This aught to be fun, The Tsurani are renowed for thier ceremonial traditions."
"I quite agree Father " Came the reply.

The Emperor saw Teclis and smiled. He made a mental wisile, and his men formed up, two on each side of him, going down to the door. The Rest of them activated jetpacksand formed a wall of White Guard, onlythe gaps between the men a avaibilityon the other side. As such, the Emperor was the only thing tat could be seen, wearing a black robe that had a skn tight collar, in the collar was a saphire as large as a Humans fist. A wire came fromthe back of the sit to Arkylas nose, making a black line along his tanned face. His eyes where a pale blue, and almost seemed to glow. He then opened his wings to their full extent, which made them just reach the end of the space he had. He nodded to the searvents, who opened the door.

"Welcome," the Emperor said in a cheerful way. "Glad to have you with us."

((A repeator cannon is basically a massive, triple-barreled machine gun. Anti-armor shells are like those fired from a Vulcan cannon, which can split tanks open with ease))

The Wyverns fell from the skies, but they had fulfilled their task. The Wilds would welcome their spirits, Kronk Earthwarder knew. As the human weapons impacted against the Spirit Ward, he called upon the elements to aid him. Since the Valheru had been defeated, the shamans had once again gained the ability to call on the planet for aid. With a wave of his hand and a mental call, he summoned forth a massive earthquake. No longer inhibited by his wish to preserve the dastardly humans, he let loose his full wrath on the human fortifications. Other shamans summoned horrible lightning storms and tornados to buffet and destroy the fighters, making room for the Orcish Drak'quas to fly in and strafe the ground and engage the human aircraft.

Tojara saw the carnage and took it with pride. The ground split beneath walkers and the humans' cowardly energy weapons, swallowing them whole. His shamans purposely left most of the infantry standing, however. He wanted at least some of these to live the coming battle, to tell their comrades to flee before the Horde. Tojara raised his blade, which gleamed blue and red in the light, and screamed to his warriors.
"LOK'TAR OGAR!"
The battlery was hardly needed, for the green and brown sea surged past him. Repeator cannons fired cover as the Orcs and Goblins rushed down on the encampment, slaughtering all who stood in their way with their mighty vibroweapons. The massive Tauren, nearly twice as large as even a big Orc, clomped down after the Orcs with their steel totems and vibrohalberds.

The young shaman had not been lying when he had told the Woman about their numbers. There were litterally millions of warriors here.


As the ground battle raged, Nether gates opened on the far side of the planet. No less than a dozen heavy assault fleets appeared, followed by three Fort'riss vessels and their escorts.

Aboard the Fort'riss Orgrimm Doomhammer, the WarChief of the Horde watched as the planetary orb rotated.
"WarChief!" shouted one of the Trolls at tactical. "Hu-man vessels detected! Calculate intercept course, mon?"
Durotan thought for a moment. "What is the status of our warriors on the ground?"
"Da dis'troyah be on da ground, WarChief. Looks like it be stripped. Our warriors be in da mountain passes. They be jammin wit' da hu-mans. Big battle be goin on, mon."
"Very well. All hands, this is the WarChief. Get ready for glorious battle, my brothers! TO WAR!"

*Megas Base Charlie*

The Red Dragon squadron was summoned to spearhead the assault on the orcish advance. They had been on battle alert since returning from the avalanche site, and were ready for a fight. Scrambled into the air were 100 YF-4 lightnings, along with 700 CY-055 Cyclone infantry vehicles and 300 VH-1 Centaur hovertanks rumbling across the terrain. The infantry did not fear an orcish aerial assault, for Cyclones were fast and maneuverable while in Battloid mode, and could easily dispatch a combat fighter.

They arrived at the Kormanthor base to find an evenly fought battle, both sides were recieving casualties. The Megan troops hoped as they threw themselves into the fray that they would be the turning point...

OOC Will do Kor, the problem is that we are undermanned. However.....

IC The White ship glided past the Kor ships, the tractor beams took the three Imperial Craft in tow. The Ship glided smotthly along the ground outsude Rilliaon droping the two Smaller craft on either side, and the larger behind it. The Tsurani left the men to get themselves home, as they had to present themselves to their new Emperor.

In the throne room, Illetrians crowded round the emperor. He was taller then all by at least an arms length. He was a worrier from, there was no doubt. It was, with great timing that the White guard entered the room and bowed. Well, at least the ones that could fit, and they came in and out so others could bow as well. And the Emperor smiled.

OOC My men are still on their way, So NE is on his own until I get there.

As the ships were taken in tow a portion of the Kor Fleet crew recived orders from the Commodore to stay aboard to train the Tsurani Crew & man
any posts that isn't covered by tsurani crew members. While the ones not needed transported to Kor Fleet ships.

OCC: ( Because of your man power shortage ) It is my intention that your ships are completely manned & under your control, but that I can help you if there is any ship information you need. So I will RP the part of the Kor Fleet Captain ... Captain Drogna.
The Kor Crews left aboard will follow your orders as if they were your crew. Also these ships don't have Xanthal Type Z shields & D-Space capability but they do have hyper space ability and Kor built shields that are equal to Xanthal Type Z shields.

Note: D-Space travel is a technology of Kormanthor only. So it is impossible for other technologies to track our ships while they are in D-Space. Also Xanthal Type Z shields are the most powerful shields possible to create with the technology. They require a massive central generator, and projection panels to sustain, but in operation extend a thick barrier of variable size and shape around the object it is installed on capable of sustaining continuous attack from even planet-killing weaponry for up to fifteen minutes. Faced with more conventional attacks its protection is almost limitless.

OOC-I'll draft a decent response later, and I only sent three Fort'riss cuz I thought you were going to use that massive Piledriver. Also, you have obviously forgotten that the Orcs have completely conquered the Goblin nation, and are using them as cannon fodder. Only a few thousand Orc warriors are on the surface, the rest are Goblins.

OOC Kor, I have no problem with your post bar one thing. This world is free. Arkyla does not want to kill you, but should you ban the planet from doing something, he will. As well, that many goblins is acceptable, as their are at least 100 million of them, but they are MEDIEVAL tech, with no more then 10 thousand or so with vibro weapons.

OOC HEHE, I really should have told you some things BEFORE we got started. Ok, HE might have ONE million against you, but only a FEW of them may have Anything more then swords bows and arrows, UNDERSTAND Gaia? only the orks, and mabey a few goblins may have them. Now, Where did he get the goblins? How did they manage to travle space. They didn'.In fact, the southerners have been fighting the gobins all throughut history. His Commander on the planet killed the GOblin King, and using goblin law from the book this world ((Not its dominent race, thats MINE!)) he got control. Now, Because of this, he has an army, but it is out numbered, underdeveloped, and they can not be armed by the orks since they have barly any stength to hold up the ork weapons which would be as big as them. Now, As for his numbers, he should have no more then 2 million attacking your pass, and you should be slaughtering them. Now, the orks can be armed with his stuff, the Goblins where originly going to be rped by me, but since GR offered I allowed. I really should have put down these rules first off. What ever renforcements he brings in is ok, as that is HIS army, but goblins are almost the same as the morian Goblins in LOTR. Sorry, I was thinkng on a different thread about the Vibro weapons, about ten thousand could have them, picking them up would be a different matter.

Arkyla is my Emperor, and even if your girl can kill him, she will walk away with the eternal flame arond her. Now, I have no problem with you dispelling his spell's, disabling his mages abilty to talk to te elements, but if you order the planet around, it will fight back, It is outside your goddess rule, it is one of the only FREE planets in the universe, and the people, on oth sides, fight to keep it that way. I ant you in the RP Kor, and I think it was bad wording, I shall work on the rules That the GOBLINS must follow, as well as the rules I must follow.

Oh, side note, Info on units can be found in this website.
http://www.freewebs.com/scoote/

OOC Ok, Think The Battle on Endor, the little ewoks vs Storm troopers, with the only difference beging there are more units to oppose the storm troops within side the enemy. He will use numbers to fight, and chance are close combat will be ensured, IF you where in the pass, which you would be, but you would also have men in Northwarden, which is built into the mountine. He will most likely win these battles, but Tsurani Dropships will evacuate your men. As such, fight him as you would normal orks, knowing you have a fortress to retreat to. Also, Gaia, don't think your men being medieval is a weakness, since you an hide your orks amonge the hoards to stop heavy weapons being killed. I worked this out a while back, so forces SHOULD be balanced. ((Hint. Who ever wins in space will have a huge advantage on the Ground.

IC The Illetrian forces came swiftly, not taking notice of the men that had set up. Fire warriors moved into the trenches, artillary crew manned the hidden enplacements all throughout the pass, and the Close combat Illetrians moved in front of the Kor Troops. Thus, when the Goblins engaged, they where fighting creatures much taller then them, breed for their task. THey where generally 10 foot tall, and had pulse swords to batle Ork Vibro weapons. From the mountines, a thousand shells landed at pre-determined points, and the fire wrriors launched salvo after salvo into the men. Natalese Rangers where using sniper rifles to take out the goblin warband leaders, and Crisis Battle suits fired their deadly weapons through the enemy. The difficulty was taking a shot at the orks, for even though the goblins where small, they where climbing over each other to get to the new arrivles, eager to proove their worth by slaying an Illetrian.

As the doors opened Teclis made the best entrance he could inder the curcumstances walking swiftly yet regarly so that his bright blue cloak cloak with red silk trimmings swirled behind him. Following his fathers lead his son quickened his stride whilst bieng careful not to plough over any of the guests. Teclis then preceeded to embrace Arkyla with a quick hug in an attempt to get state to the point but at the same time please the publics love of Ceremony. "Your highness" Scinethon said bowing.
"Arkyla I have a few issues I wish to discuss, first You should be pleased to know that Reola has found Lithia and I have brought her with me to see you. Though she does'nt want any compensation she wishes me to tell you that she did not come willingly and several of her scouts are recovering from wounds sastained whilst capturing her," whith a wink he said "she quite spirited isnt she."

Arkyla Let out a laugh. "Spirited does not BEGING to describe the flower apon which the empire once rested." He said loudly. "Well, I am sure had she cared, she would have filed for a Devorce. Hell, she FOUGHT you to come her, tht must show for something. Thus I made arrangments when she was gone. But anyway. Tell me, have you any knowlage of the Valheru?"

OOC Ok, I made a mistake. The Goblins out number us, as most of the Fire Caste has to stay at home. Now, the goblins wil be cannon fodder, but Gaia only needed to land troops for this to become a proper war. So, do that, please.

OOC-Alright, I'm going to say this once. Kormanthor, I honestly have no idea how the ESUS let you in, if what you say is true, for your RPing skills are on par with TFU. True, my Orcs use hand-to-hand weapons almost exclusively. This is their racial identity and just because your weapons are blasters doesn't mean you will automatically win. Because too many people on FT NS use "omg ub3r" weapons, I've installed some inherent advantages to my Orcs. For one thing, their body armor is far tougher than anything your people can field, and can actually deflect several laser blasts. Secondly, their "repeator cannons" are like the GAU-8s on the A-10, only there are three barrels instead of one. That should give you an idea of how strong an Orc is. A small Orc is around seven feet tall.
Now, the big bruisers of my army are the Tauren. These monsters dwarf Orcs in terms of sheer might and size. However, they're fairly slow, cannot ride mounts, and there aren't many of them.
Because my army is severely lacking in technology, I make up for it by using shamans. By all rights, an earthquake of even small magnitude would topple every walker in the vicinity, regardless of shields. If you're using Star Wars tech, and I believe you are, then there's nothing you can do about it.
And, if you were in the ESUS, you'd know the universal rule about FT RPing...NOTHING is invincible against anything. As sophisticated as your energy shields might be, a good railgun or (on the ground) a repeator round should damage it. A single shell wont damage it much, but the barrages I'm throwing at you would.
As for your jumping-in-system-and-attacking-me-the-moment-you-come-out tactic, it just physically wouldn't work. My ships are close to the planet, which has gravity. Gravity wells affect all FTL forms of travel negatively. The sheer amount of calculations for more than one ship to do that would be staggering, let alone the fleet you're using. To do that and plot firing solutions for your exit points, you'd have at least a quarter of your ships flying off into the sun. And don't even get me started on the power requirements for doing that and unleashing barrages of "planet killing weapons". Unless you've got the most sophisticated reactors in the FT universe, or all your ships are Death Stars, it just can't be done. Sorry.
Finally, LT, I plan to leave this RP, and leave it fast. It just no longer interests me. I plan to take the Goblins with me, as I've already started adding them to my empire's identity. I wont take them all, but around half the population will be heading to Lordaeron with the Orcs.

OOC: :( This thread is really getting tense, I think we should wrap it up before it turns into an all out flaming match...it just isn't fun this way.

IC: The Veritechs were throwing themselves at the flyers, trying their hardest to mulch the animals without taking losses. Most of the weapons that the flyers were using simply were simply reflected by their sheilds. The Cyclone riders and Centaurs were mowing down the defenseless goblins with their energy weapons. The orcs, however, were much tougher to bring down, and the infantry found themselves taking many losses to them.

OOC Well, that is ok Gaia. However, I am afraid that, in the future, I am only going to be able to have either you or Kor in my RP's. Half of this thread was OOC arguments, and now two of the major players are leaving. I am going to assume you have started to pack up the goblins Gaia, and that there are forces retreating. If not, please make a IC post to say you are. I shall post IC actions later.

I decided to leave so Gaia would feel comfortable in staying in the RP

OOC: Sorry to see you go, Kor.

Gaia, if you want, you can move your forces over to the pass I'm defending. As I stated, the Mercs use tech that in some cases is lower than yours (none of my infantry can support an aircraft-class gattling), but have some magic protection, so the battle would probably even out/lean in your favor. At least until LT's forces arrived.

OOC-Sorry, NE. LT and I already worked this out.
BTW, my IC language in these posts overstates the Orcs' strength, for I post from the viewpoint of an old warrior retelling the tale.



Tojara watched with pride as the humans retreated before his charging swarms. The enemy had finally learned the price of disrespect. As the human transports began lifting off, a flight of Drak'quas began descending on them.
Halt! Allow them to leave. We are not demons who slaughter fleeing runts! screamed Tojara in a mental call to the fighters. They immediately broke off, flying cover for the ground troops.

And so on they marched. The ships in orbit began firing pods and launching zeppelins, adding to the Horde's already titanic might on the ground. The wolf riders scouted ahead, and came face to face with a new foe...

The Illetrians.

And they fought with furry. The Illetrians slaughtered Goblins left and right, hundreds lay dead on each side. Illetrians where gathering at all passes, strong 10 foot tall colse comabt specilists at the front, followed by the weaker fire warriors. Crisis Battle suits jumpedfrom location to location, and Natalese Rangers fired Rail Rifles and Sinper shots at enemy command, their charmilion skin blending in with the surroundings. They where outnumbered, but they fought with furry like none other. This would be it, one of the two races would win.

To the South, Keshians gathered, they where still weeks away from helping the north lands, they needed to get all the southern warriors, to bring them to the the north, to gather them, then they would fly north, and they would change the number ratio to much higher states.

OOC New Exodus, can I please have the pic's and stats of those ships I bought the production rights to? Please?

OOC: he he... Well, that is a problem, I'm afraid. You see, my storefront was accidentally deleted by the forum mod, and I don't remember what it was that you bought. If you could give me the names, I can tell you all about them, though.

OOC It was the Hamerhead and the Valkrie, the one underneath.

OOC:
Right, I can pull up the actual stats if you'd like, but the basic info is this.

The Hammerhead is an Exo/Endo-Atmospheric Superiority Fighter. Medium speed, good maneuverability in both environments (has aircraft wings andmaneuvering thrusters), and a strong weapons load for a craft of its size (9.5 meters long).
Weapons include an autocannon or laser turret mounted beneath the nose (controlled in the same manner as the chin turret of an Apache helicopter), four missile pylons (can carry most air-to-air, most space-to-space, or light air-to-ground weapons), and a computer-controlled anti-air/spacecraft turret facing backwards (for warding off attackers).

The Valkyrie, which will soon be getting a name change, is an exo/endo-atmospheric interceptor. Very fast (fastest spacecraft we have), with decent maneuverability. It carries one laser cannon mounted in the nose, and four extended range air-to-air or space-to-space missiles.

Tojara spat as the Goblins were swatted aside.
"Pagh! Tauren to the front of the column! Rangers to the sides, provide support! CUT THEM DOWN! NO PALESKINS WILL STAND IN OUR WAY!"

The massive Tauren, standing nearly twice as tall as their Orc compatriots, moved to the front and laid down the law with the Illetrians as the Trolls and Orc gunners moved to the sides and provided cover fire. Wind Riders swooped down and strafed with their repeator cannons, providing yet more support.

OOC Ok, I feel that the actual objective of this RP should be told now. For some reason, all the orks and goblins will be compelled to go to Sethanon, the Pass held by me and the pass that was held by kor shall be lost, while the others will prove to hard to get through. They will get through, and the castles shall have to be abbandoned. The last battle WILL be at the walls of Seathanon, withthe goblins jumped by the Keshian Reserves. The reason they go to the city is that the emperor is subtly directing them there, for his own reason, which will soon become apparent. All I shall tell you is the emperor is not as good as he seems, he is using most of the people in this RP.

IC The Close combat Illetrians tried to hold the line, but the Tauren where to big, and powerful. They screamed their deffience, and the entire army took flight, shooting their weapons behind them. They flew to the castle of Highcastle, a fortress builit into the very stone itself. Forces from the Northwarden pass where crushed, and where giving the position away, flying to the city of Highcastle, where they could hold out until renforcments.


OOC Edit: Also, all of you send some sort of design to my Ships design, with a puppet or what ever, you can make more then one catagory, althougthe price will be the same. 50 billion to be earned, come on, post here: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=383285

OOC:
Is this the pass that Black XIII's mercenaries are defending, or are they at another pass further north? I'm fine either way, and I wouldn't want to cause an imbalance or anything.

OOC the pass you hold is Highcastle, I made a mistake with the naming, it is Northwarden Castle that they retreated to, High castle is your pass. THe Northwarden pass is overrun, and they are currently holding out in the castle.

Tojara smiled at this. The Illetrians were holed up now, and they had nowhere to go. Tojara called in an airstrike of Drak'qua fighters. The medium starcraft pounded the stone fortress with energy bursts, covering the advance of several dozen large Tauren. The Tauren, weilding solid thorium totems, took up position around the base of the fortress. Within minutes, they hefted the heavy metal cylinders and struck as one. They pounded away at the fortress' foundation, crumbling the stone to dust. It was only a matter of time until the whole mountainside crumbled.

The Plan was working. While the castle was bombed, a number of Illetrians stayed at the castle, willing to die to spring the trap, while the rest took the tunnles under the great fortress. These tunnles took them to a large number of artillary pieces, which had been set up for this exact problem. They where a fair distance away from the fortress, but the weapons would be able to hit. They opend the ground to fire, before the ground close once more, while they reloaded.

In space, the Valheru and the three ships from Kormanthor where ready to bomb the planet. They had their target, the places past the northern Mounitnes, where the goblins lived. They also had ordered to bomb the Northwarder pass. As this was the most in danger of being destroyed. The Valheru charged its Superior dragon cannon, and it fired on the far northwardern pass, at the very back of the goblin army.

ooc> Ok, I'm back.

ic> Thunderhawks began pouring out of the small group of ships in low orbit. There was about 600 Thunderhawks and 400 blade fighters. While the blades patrolled in search of enemy aircraft while the thunderhawks and their 3600 space marines searched for the largest concentration of Orc forces. The Tsurani had been on the defencive for too long. It was long past time for an offencive action. However, for this to be successfull, the Blades would need to have controll of the skies.

Meanwhile, several landing craft flew down within Tsurani held territory, bringing artillery, supplies, and soldiers. A message was sent to the Tsurani high commmand, requesting direction as to where the place the arriving guns.
