OOC: This will be the 1st RP, of me being 8472. This Message is not men to be theatning, and because I shall rejoin the GE, it makes perfect sense. No fighting, I'm just trying to set up old alliances again. The ECF as my allies know it, no longer exists. This 1st post is gonna be short and sweet.
You could say like " wff happened to the federation? "
************************************************************
" The Weak Shall Perish "
The message was clear, sent out on an amplified organic transmitter. An task force cruised out of the warp gate. Which was saved... somehow. Below the planet Sigma Octovias, was nothing but a barren wasteland. A few ruins could be seen from space. An voice was heard " Those who call themselves Federations, are no more. "

A Bio-Ship Task Force was cruising the planet, look for any remnants of the federation. " Open a hailing channel to these primitives. "

" Channel open "

" The Weak Shall perish, if you feel you are strong. Come to the source, at once. "

The Primary Hierarchy Naval Force (PHNF) began to mobilise a fleet for the sole purpose of invading The East Coast Federation. Upon arrival, a search began. The naval forces had finally come across the primary target, The Military GHQ. The planet was slagged. The naval officers went about their duty, but the Admiral had more in mind. "Where is the Federation? What happened?" He was studdering when he said this, for he did not know what could have done it. It would take a massive force. The order was given to make the fleet ready for battle. Suddenly, the men saw a ship. It appeared to be histile, so it was scanned. The scanners picked up nothing.

"Sir! Enemy ship dead ahead!"

The admiral looked up. He saw the figure of it. It appreaed to be alien.

"Get weapons systems online! Turn to starbord and prepare to fire!"

The fleet made ready for battle. They followed the battle manuvers and turned so the guns were all on the ship.

The admiral told the others to be ready to fire. He thought he saw it move, so the order was given. All power was taken from engines and shields and sent to lasers. As soon as they fired, the power was all sent to Shields.

"The new shield tech should hold out against everything!" the admiral said as the shots made their way toward the ship.

************************************************************
ICly: " The federation you speak of no longer exists. They were weak beings, unfit to roam space. We dealt with them accordingly. The weakling they were. They put up no resistance. We killed every last one of them. "

The Bio Ships begun to move around the enemy fleet.

" They were primitive, the most powerful warship they had fell before our might. State your business or you will be next. *

The admiral felt like he had swallowed an apple whole. He was baffled. An Entire people destroyed by these things.

The admiral wet to the comm devise.

"Well, we are here to accomplish what you apparently have done. We do not wish to fight you and only fired at you because we thought you were the enemy. I do not wish for there to be conflict between us." While this was said, shield strength was set to maximum.

The naval forces switched into defensive positions and started activating slipspace boosters. The admiral did not want to stick around to experience what had happened to the Federation.

In the distance, several Federation stations came to life. And a Massive FTLi was brought into place. Surrounding an entire light year.

The Ships moved closer.

" We do still use some federation stations. They help us. But You will make peace talks now. Or your Primitive ships will be destoryed and converted into Bio Mass. And after that we shall destory your puny empire. You will travel to an Federation Station, and talks can begin. "

An Imperial Star Destroyer squadron on patrol in space noticed an odd change in the ECF systems, and went to investigate. Captain Richard Sadame looks at the screens, and comms discovered a message:

" The Weak Shall perish, if you feel you are strong. Come to the source, at once. "

"What the hell?" The captain of the Atlantis asked. "Battlestations. I don't want to be caught with our pants down. Tactical, what do you have?"

"I don't know, sir. Long-range probes seems to have discovered some kind of bio-ships, bearing 014 by 136 by 082, subsector 3 beta 4 7 5."

"Vong?" The captain asked. Yuuzhan Vong patrols are rare, but that doesn't mean they aren't around.

"No...something different. Rather powerful, but different."

"Ah. Well, let's check it out. Helm, make way for the ships. Weapons, power up and be ready for anything." The captain ordered, and the squadron of four Star Destroyers and assorted escorts moved towards the new signatures.

((What happened to the ship they fired on? Plus, I thought since Voyager's encounters, they wouldn't come back...))

OOC: I'm just RPnig as the 8472 race, this has nothing to do with the ST timeline, contact me on AIM if you wish to know more.

On Black Sun, a commission was gathering to decide on the action to take. All transmitions were logged and the counsel met.

"Black Sun Officials. I am in favor on the statement of taking action. However, I do not wish to give you the clearence to send the Elite. We will take action on a more peaceful note. I have decided to send a diplomatic ship into the area." The counsel had decided. The Black Sun Elite's Grand Admiral was trying to protest, saying they could use Skyhook. "Using that weapon will do more harm than good!" was the counsel's decision. The Diplomatic ship was sent in.

Upon arrival, it headed straight for the station, passed the Fleet. The ship docked and sent the Chief Negotiator to the sanctum, where the Negotiations would begin.

CW:

They saw the Enemy fleet comming close. " We see you, You show no weakness at all. You are strong! Please Please ! Report to the old federation station, and We can discuss an alliance! "

The 4 Bio Ships moved off of the enemy fleet and formed a line towards the station.

A DUDE:

This is an http://www.hypertrek.org/specie/img/8472.jpg 8472

He watched them near the table. " Hello, Weaklings, And before you ask, like all those federation weaklings that came before you. I can read your mind. And I can control it if I wished. Now, sit, and state your reasons.

Outside:

Through the Warpgate, 8 Large Battleships and a single large ship, with out ward pointed fins appeared.

The Negotiator stepped foreward. He sat downat a table and told the strange creature of the terms. "We wish for you to simply regard that we do not wish to go to war woth you and that we also do not want to see you in any of our territories. This is simply what we request. We will also donate you supplies of people to convert into biomass.

OOC: I will just wait for your response and I'm just guessing what you mean by that last pose so.......I may not have done what I was supposed to

"Sir, another transmission." Comms said.

" We see you, You show no weakness at all. You are strong! Please Please ! Report to the old federation station, and We can discuss an alliance! "



"Well, let's follow that line." The captain said, and the task force moved towards the station. The captain then contacted Naval Command, who contacted the State Department, and they said they'll send a diplomat. In the meantime, the Captain will make contact himself.

A shuttle was launched carrying the Captain and two of his guards, then it headed towards the station itself. The Star Destroyers then moved to a defensive position around the station.

Han ( the 8472 character ) reached into his mind. And after a minute or two of looking, he found the answer.

He Spoke. " I will agree to this. And I Know you will. You thought of the ECF as a massive military power. You were scared. And look what we did to them. The war only lasted 2 days. You will not suriive, And sky hook will not help you. We agree to your terms. We will not fight with thee. Remain here until all talks are compelte. "

CW:

The small shuttle docked at a Federation starbase. Which was empty.

In the shuttle bay. An 8472 being escorted them to the conferenace. Room, dead federation bodys lay all over the hall ways, and blood flowed like streams.

Once they arrived the lead 8472 dug into his mind. " Lay out your terms "

"We ask only for peace between our peoples." The captain replied sternly and simply.

A transwarp conduit opened silently and a diamond slipped out. Something was wrong... they'd picked up a fluidic rift nearby.

They decided to simply open a hail. "This is the Borg Collective of Blackgrue! Please reply."

Something was wrong, he could feel it. Contact had been lost with ECF over a week ago, something had happened to the Xessmithian allies. Fleet Admiral Armishaw stood on his flag bridge on the XNV Midgard, the first monitor ever constructed by Xessmithian yards. He was taking Dusk squadron with him to check on matters.

He glanced at his tactical display, his Monitor, two Cetus-class Battle Dreadnaughts and four Medusa-class Dreadnaughts were lit brightly in green.

The squadron dropped back into sub-light, "Sir we're picking up an old message."

"Play it back comm." Armishaw ordered.

"The Weak Shall perish, if you feel you are strong. Come to the source, at once. "

"That can't be good. Relay this message, 'Unknown entities, we read heavy destruction of ECF territory and holdings. Explain yourselves immediately or be destroyed.'"

BlackGrule:

A voice was heard through space. " You will explain your presence in our territory. We have encounted your kind before, We do not wish War. "

X-man:

The Gale, the ship that had transported the 1st Xmessthian Reps to the ECF was still spewing Quantum Energy, and several life forms were still onboard, Calling for help. " Help us, only an hour of air left! Xmessthian ships, We need evac! "

Several other twisted and burned ships were in the Xmessthian Flightpath.

A Small Federation Distress buoy regonized the IFF Transponders. " To out Allys, This message is enonded, however IFF transponders should be able to decode it. The Federation was destroyed by a race classified as '8472'. If you are hearing this message, you have entered their kill zone. The FTLi is still in operation. Listen to them, If you look in sector 2.2, you will notice 8 ships, and a focuser ship. "

The 8 Ships pointed at the largest IFF ship.

" Hail them, listen to them, even if you fire, they still have time to pull the trigger. That thing destroyed an planet in less than 10 seconds. 83 Ships have escaped, Heading for * insert random numbers here, Under NS name, The Core Remnants, I'll worry about that later *. Right now, I suggest you make a cease fire. And perhaps this will explain why. We look forward to seeing you again, DO NOT SHOW WEAKNESS AT ALL, Federation AI, out.
Playing Tranmission *
Millions of them! Can't be stopped! Shields useless! Retreat! Ahhhhhhhhhh!

"

The PB Was aimed at the monitor and the other battle ships were coming to bear. They could not survive a full scale PB attack.

A Voice was heard. " The Weakling know as the East Coast Federation have been decimated. State your business in our territory. Or be destroyed. It only took us 2 days to destroy them. "

A Dude:
" Appected "

CW:

" We wish to join the GE "

"We are allies with the East Coast Federation. It is good that you do not wish war as we do not either."

The diamond (knowing it would be screwed if it was attacked anyways) cut all power to weapons, shields, and even reduced power to sensors to look as non-threatening as possible.

"We wish to open negotiations. Please specify a meeting place and an ambassidor will be sent. Alone."

" We wish to join the GE "

"The Galactic Empire?" The captain asked. "Very interesting. We shall have to contact Coruscant for that."

"We are allies with the East Coast Federation. It is good that you do not wish war as we do not either."

The diamond (knowing it would be screwed if it was attacked anyways) cut all power to weapons, shields, and even reduced power to sensors to look as non-threatening as possible.

"We wish to open negotiations. Please specify a meeting place and an ambassidor will be sent. Alone."

An 8472 Frigate moved next to the small borg ship.

" We hear you. Your anti 8472 weapons will not be effective on our perfection. Move to the outdated Federation Station for talks. Please watch your step, dead bodys line the hallways. The Weaklings.......... "

"Understood, we too seek perfection."

The diamond rapidly constructed a docking mechanism and tocked on ECF's station. The airlock opened to reviel a queen unit.

"I am queen unit 5356234. I speak for the collective."

"Understood, we too seek perfection."

The diamond rapidly constructed a docking mechanism and tocked on ECF's station. The airlock opened to reviel a queen unit.

"I am queen unit 5356234. I speak for the collective."

" I am H-CC 8888, You will make an alliance, or you will be destoryed,"

The queen raised an eyebrow. "And what is wrong with maintaining the alliance that the ECF and the collective had in the first place?"

" This is very simple. The East Coast Federation is no longer around. Ever trace of them will be gone within 1 Sol Standard Week. "

The Protectorate had been monitering the situation after the Borg Collective entered it, considering as they were the Protectorate's ally. They knew that they had to move quickly to show this species that they were not weak and therefore dispatched Gamma Fleet to the site of where the East Coast Federation once stood and now was home to nothing but 8472 ships and planetary debris.

----------A few hours later----------------
Gamma Fleet approached the Borg ships' positon and deployed all nanobots in formation, powering weapons and shields but not targeting 8472 forces. (making 6 motherships and 4800 nanobots in total). They knew from Blackgrue that the 8472 hated the weak and destroyed them and therefore were attempting to appear as strong as possible while not actually directly threatening them.

COMMUNICATION TO 8472 Forces
We are Gamma Fleet of the Nanotech Army of the Protectorate. Any attacks on Protectorate or Borg ships will be responded to with deadly force. State your purposes for being in this area of space.

" This is very simple. The East Coast Federation is no longer around. Ever trace of them will be gone within 1 Sol Standard Week. "
"Our alliance must be mutual. We will NOT enter into some one-sided agreement for your benifit. You will find that the nanotech army is here as well. If you were to kill me the rest of the collective and nanoech army would attack you in full force... not to mention your chances of joining GE go out the window."

Nano:

" Stand down weapons. Come to the old federation Station. "

"Our alliance must be mutual. We will NOT enter into some one-sided agreement for your benifit. You will find that the nanotech army is here as well. If you were to kill me the rest of the collective and nanoech army would attack you in full force... not to mention your chances of joining GE go out the window."
" We have already been appovred for the GE and are members. Attack us will result in you being ejected from the GE. And destoryed. We d not wish to attack you. You are the ones wishing to attack us. "

"I do believe you were the one who said, if I may paraphrase, 'ally or die'."

Nano:

" Stand down weapons. Come to the old federation Station. "

The Omnipresence heard its allies voice and took part of its advice. It remaneuvered Gamma Fleet to the old federation Station although it did not power down weapons.

COMMUNICATION TO 8472 Forces
Request permission to send representative into the Station

" We have already been appovred for the GE and are members. Attack us will result in you being ejected from the GE. And destoryed. We d not wish to attack you. You are the ones wishing to attack us. "
"Technically, you have not been approved." The Captain walked up to the arguing 'diplomats'. "Yet." He looked at both of them. "However, it will not do well to fight when we are seeking peace. Blackgrue will be brought before the Imperial Supreme Court on Coruscant, and the 8472 race will find it more difficult to enter the Empire if they start on a war footing. As the voice of the Imperial Republic of Coreworlds, do I make myself clear?"

OOC: US already approved me on 'Secure Communications ' Aka, super happy fun chat! Aka MSN
************************************************************
The Repsentaive seemed pissed. " Oh my god you people, Why cant we just get some talks done. It's this simple, Everyone stop bitching! And start talking, I'm not here to start a god dammed war! We want peace, you want peace blah blah blah BLAH BLAH! Lets get some fucking treatys worked out here! "

The queen smiled her trademark grin "Of course captain." She turned towards the 8472 ambassidor. "What is your proposal"

The Repsentaive seemed pissed. " Oh my god you people, Why cant we just get some talks done. It's this simple, Everyone stop bitching! And start talking, I'm not here to start a god dammed war! We want peace, you want peace blah blah blah BLAH BLAH! Lets get some fucking treatys worked out here! "

A message from Coruscant came late. "8472 has been approved."

The captain looked at the representative strangely, but let it go. "We shall begin, then."

OOC:
" We need to get all this dammed paper work filled cleared. If we both end up in the same alliance, I want some cease firing treatys.

Nano:
Premission to board, Granted.

A small swarm of nanites entered the station and configured themselves into a human form to serve as the Omnipresence's ambassador. "Greetings, I represent the Protectorate, what is it that you wish to talk about?"

"Parerwork? Paperwork is irrellevent. tell me your proposal for an alliance and it will be stored within our collective consiousness."

As soon as the distress call had been received a SAR team with a marine squad as an escort was dispatched to the ruined ECF ship. The shuttle docked and blew the hatch open.

The marines poured into the ship, quickly securing the area. "All clear, let's get this show on the road." Captain Hillard said.

The SAR team nodded and the leader pointed in the direction of the first life-form. Hillard nodded and motioned for his squad to form up around the SAR team. As soon as the motion was complete the headed off towards the life sign.

((waits for a war))

((waits for a war))

If I know anything, that is not wise...........they wiped an entire Federation out in about 2 days

If I know anything, that is not wise...........they wiped an entire Federation out in about 2 days

((Well, the way that federation was run, I'm not suprised.))

X-Man:

Blood was flowing down the Duranet deck, causing it to slash when the SAR's walked over it. They could see plasma fires burning on some of the bulkheads. The computer was blaring out " Hull Integiriy, Failed. Life Support Minimal. IFF Transponders detected, Full access given to IFF LifeForms. Damage Report, Main power offline, Sheilds offline, ProPulsion Offline, ect. 55 Life forms still aboard ship. Locate. "

Bodys were ripped into peices. Blood was flowing everywhere. Sparks and plasma was everywhere. The whole ship was creaking, the whole damm thing was slowly falling apart.

Out of an corrider, an ECF Marine was coverd in his own blood, he was crawling, unable to get up, he was grabbing a Q Rifle " Here, take this, it's been modified to stop them........., oh man, theres still some on the ship, be careful , I need to sit down. "

A marine grabbed the weapon and quickly inspected it. He slung it on his back.

Dack Venis, one of the SAR team members took out a med scanner and did a once over of the downed marine. Once complete he took out a bottle of bio-foam, a bio-degradable anti-septic foam that aids in tissue regrowth, "This is going to sting quite a bit." The Dack said as he sprayed the foam into the marines cuts. "Can you point us in the direction of the other survivors?"

X-Man:

The Marine, was being carried back to the shuttle bay, Before he let them take him away, he managed to blurt out. " Engineering, Be careful, they cut off a head in one swipe! Use the Q-Rifle! Your weapons wont work on them, Look in the armoury, there should be some modified ones! Reactor leak..........."

One the way several 8472 jumped out, the Q-Rifle was already set on wide beam, hope he can pull the trigger fast enough.

~A ship shimmered into being several seconds after its explosion from hyperspace. The Kepesk Class Destroyer 'Blood Moon' materialized near the disabled Federation vessel. Captain Diovere ordered a scan of the vessel for lifesigns and made the docking crew prepare an assault ship for launch. The small transport was loaded with a dozen Draconic Order marines swiftly and blasted out of the hanger towards the shuttle bay of the ship.~

The creatures burst out of a side corridor. The ECF marine shouted something about the rifle he had given up, but there was no time to reach it.

The marines acted calmly and professionaly, Sgt. Hildebrand caught the lead creature with a 3-round burst from his rifle. The hyper-velocity rounds ablative layer vaporized giving the impression of white beams of death striking the creatures. The bullets struck near instantly on the creatures torso, the rounds easily penetrated it's thick skin leaving an exit would the size of a beach ball. The creature fell dead too the ground in a puddle of it's own charred gore.

The next creature struck one of the marines, crushing his ribs through his body armor with the force of the blow. This didn't sit well with Private Jutland, who was armed with the squads light machine gun. He let loose a hail of fire. The white streaks shredded the walls in brillant flashes of light and turned the remaining creatures into so much pulp.

One of the SAR team rushed to the fallen marine. "He'll be fine if we get him back to the Midgard's medbay quickly."

Sgt. Hilderbrand nodded, "Let's get to engineering and rescue the rest of the survivors."

~The transport neared the crumbling shuttle bay, using small cutting torches to breach through the debris and land on the bay ground. The transport locked onto the inner hull with magnetic clamps before the back compartment opened. The marines, wearing the standard spacesuit armor, emerged from the ship and began moving in their cohesive boarding pattern toward the nearest airlock.~

Engineering was a complete hellhole...

Main Computer: Warning, Quantum Converter Breech In 30 Seconds!

The Door was blown down by a blasting charge from the IFF marines. The 20 Remaining survivors were trapped by some an 8472, which dropped to the ground. Once it was shoot with a Q-rifle by one of the. One of them yelled at them yelled out, " GET IN THE CONTROL ROOM AND SHUT IT DOWN! THE CODE IS 9111BHG! "

Once it was shoot with a Q-rifle by one of the. One of them yelled at them yelled out, " GET IN THE CONTROL ROOM AND SHUT IT DOWN! THE CODE IS 9111BHG! "

Hildebrand sprinted to the control room. He scanned the panel quickly and punched in "9111BHG". There was a low whine.

"Quantum Converter breach has been contained. Hull integrity is failing." The calm computer voice said.

"Come on, we have to get back to the shuttle!" Hildebrand yelled at the survivors, "Anyone who can carry a weapon do so, and shoot at anything that has more than two legs."

" Error Error Error, Destory Destory "

The Hall Ways begun to turn blue, and Quantum Beams started aiming at the marines.

Several shots were fired, they narrowly missed the marines and blew a hole in the QC chamber.

The Engineer shouted to the Marines " PERFECT! The Champer has been compromised, If we are not out of here in 10 minutes, we are all dead. The ENTIRE SHIP has these things! What do you propose we do? Even with that armour, you wont stand a chance! "

~The Draconic Marines passed by a shuttle as they had landed nearby. They assumed there was another rescue attempt in progress, so they would secure the bay until the federation officers were evacuated with whomever was rescuing them.~

" Error Error Error, Destory Destory "

The Hall Ways begun to turn blue, and Quantum Beams started aiming at the marines.

Several shots were fired, they narrowly missed the marines and blew a hole in the QC chamber.

~The Draconic marines heard the computer's garbled voice from the shuttle bay, followed by laser fire. The auto defense system was activated and they knew that the survivors wouldn't be able to get out in time with them around. They switched to their ion scramblers and forced open the airlock onto the main ship. Several blasts flew over their head, one hitting the forward most marine in the shoulder, before they were able to disable the guns along the corridor leading to the shuttle bay. Their ion beams overloading the circuitry of each emitter.~

Hildebrand glared at the engineer. He picked up his comlink, "This is Hildebrand." He said to the shuttle, "I want you too triangulate my possition."

A few seconds later the pilot replied, "You're near the outer hull in the drive section."

Hildebrand smiled, "I want you to come down here and open up your cargo doors. We're going to blow our way out of this death trap."

A moment of tense sounds of metal straining and groaning pased before the shuttle said it was in position. Hildebrand nodded and one of his marines started placing a large shaped charge on the outer bulkhead.

"Everybody exhale!" Hildebrand shouted. He triggered the explosives.

The charge blasted through the weakened hull and armor of the ship. Time seemed to stop as hurrican force winds sucked the team out of the gaping hole. It was a crazy idea but it was working. The group of people slammed into the cargo bay of the shuttle. The doors were already closing by the time the last person was in. White clouds sprouted from the walls as the bay was rapidly pressurized.

The two pilots rushed in to help the survivors are marines that were gasping for breath.

"Get... us... back... to the... ship." Hildebrand managed to make out between heaves. His brief exposure to vacuum had been painful. But his mind was at ease. The trip hadn't been long enough to cause any permament damage. He had rescued those people.

~During the marines incursion, the shuttle that was in the bay powered back up and flew off to the outer hull. The marines were called back into the transport, leaving behind the wreck. The Captain of the 'Blood Moon' watched the shuttle fly off after the heroic rescue and waited for its transport to dock before moving away from the shattered hulk.~

X-Man: The small shuttle was rocked by the massive explosion.

The Green ship turned into an expanding blue ball. As far as they knew, that was it, All Traces are gone.

The Group of 21 Just stared, their home, ferinds, family, way of life, wasted. The Chief Engineer just stared out the window " Oh my god........................ "

The entire group just fell to the deck and started crying.

The Marine was still holding his Q Rifle, " We never had a chance, WHY! " He slammed the Q-Rifle on the bulkhead so hard, it shattered into at least 30 different fragments.

One of them was not crying, and walked up to the lead marine. " I need to speak to your captain and tactical staff as soon as possible. "

~As the shuttle escaped the explosion and went to warp, the transport had finished landing in the launch bay. The 'Blood Moon' began to prepare to enter hyperspace.~

The shuttle rocked violently as the wave of vaporized metal that had been the ECF ship washed over it. It was docked wit the monitor a few moments later.

Hildebrand was approached bu one of the survivors, "I need to speak to your captain and tactical staff as soon as possible." He said.

Hildebrand nodded, "I'll take you to see Admiral Armishaw immediately." He then led the man towards the lift and started off towards the flag deck.

The Q-Rifle shattered. The marine looked to the 2 IFF personal " Sorry about this mess. " And he stormed out onto the deck. " GOD DAMMIT FUCK SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT! " A peice of the rifle was still on the flight deck. He kicked it and watched it fly across the flight deck.

Near the Flag Deck, the young command still had blood all over his uniform. He saluted the admiral " Sir! I'd like to discuss several things with you before you get your ship underway Sir! "

Back on the Holy capitol of the Hierarchy, the Azurbajanian Empire was furius. The Chief of Negotiations had been killed in the tremendus blast, along with his escort.

"This was not done by these 8472. Instead, this was done by interfeering forces from alliances. We must act! Our destroyers are lined up and ready for the assault. We can still track them through space!"

"Enough!" said the Counsel Chairman. He went on "We will indeed take a course of action. However, it wil not be lethal. I shall tell the Black Sun Admirals to prepare their forces for battle. We must not, however, take a hostile action! I am calling all forces back into our territory. We will decide from there what happens. Our current action involves telling the men in Gamma Draconis to perfect the shielding systems. I want the Entire Empire and her allies on alert!"

Meanwhile, the fleet near the Station recieved the order to retreat. They had to bring the entire Navy into line for the exit plan. Soon enough, they cut into slipspace and headed for the Empire, where the defense process was getting underway..........

((what blast?))

OOC: The one which destroyed the ECF ship from what I can tell.

IC: Armishaw returned the bloody soldier's solute, "Permission granted." Armishaw paused, "However I insist that we get you checked up and into a clean uniform. It's a short walk to my quarters, I'll have a medic meet us there and you can change into a spare uniform."

The Grand Admiral of Black Sun walked out onto a brightly lit stage. In the middle was a podium with several hovercams staring at it. The crowd was sitting in chairs, silently looking on. They were made up of Commanders, crewmen, captains, officers, and Admirals. He made his way up to it, slowly.

"My Friends! We have a duty. We must protect this Empire with our lives! We must gain the counsel's support and take action by mobilising our fleet. If we do, the people of the Empire need not fear! We shall protect the Freedoms and rights of the people!"

The Counselmen looked on as the crowd cheered. They had a small discussion and then, readied a response.

"The Grand Admiral is right! We must do what he says. I approove the mobilisation of Black Sun. However, there shall be no Offensives taken! We must tread carefully."

The Admiral smiled slightly. He had finally got hat he wanted. Over the next 3 days, the fleet was to be fully mobilised.

Due to inactivity as well as major policy changed, Gamma Fleet departs from the area, leaving behind a secure frequency that they could be reached on if need be.
