The newly-crowned Emperor of the Realm, Thyreaoth, smiled. He now had all power within his nation, and there were none to gainsay him. The common people saw him as a hero, and the powerful saw him as an ally.

He was remobilising the Fleet, as an action to take against the snowballing rebellion against his rule, which now encompassed six planets, and four systems. He impatiently tapped on his viewpad, as the information he needed arrived.

[Planets under Rebel control]
[Arkasa IV]
[Arkasa X]
[Tirulth II]
[Shimonin VII]
[Oriyyi XVI]
[Oriyyi XIX]

[Systems threatened by Rebels]
[Tereth]
[Orilya]
[Kaniir]
[Pokka]

He was angry, now, as he did not have sufficient resources to carry out attacks on all the Rebel systems, and they did not seem amenable to peace. He had mobilised a fleet sufficient to defend three of those systems, and now it seemed he would have to split it.

[Total Fleet]
[4 Cruisers]
[12 Destroyers]
[48 Frigates]
[100 Corvettes]
[200 Interceptors]
[200 Anti-Capital Fighters]
[400 Standard Fighter]

He quickly divided that into four, and decided to send a quarter off to each planet. The rebels were equally likely to strike anywhere, but it was likely that they would not attack Tereth first, as it was valuable, and likely to be well-defended.

[System Fleet]
[Cruiser]
[3 Destroyers]
[12 Frigates]
[25 Corvettes]
[100 Standard Fighters]
[50 Interceptors]
[50 Anti-Capital Fighters]

He sighed. The Rebels had a fleet twice that size, but he couldn't afford to lose another world...

One day later, Tereth

A rag-tag fleet split a hole in what was, and moved towards Tereth...
The Realm Fleet had just arrived, and was refueling, when the rebels entered the system... Suddenly, a MIU was created (Preventing messages), and the fleet had no option but to fight...

A single fighter left the MIU boundaries, and began to transmit a short message. "System under attack by Rebels. Help requested."

The two fleets edged around each other... This was standard tactics between Realm fleets, as the battle began with scanner wars, attempting to block their scanning, and find out as much as you can about the enemy..

The fleet, although better-trained, was badly outnumbered. The planetary defenses were constructed well, but the Rebels had acquired hundreds of stranhe weapons, acting more like a mercenary army than a fleet.

Within seconds, the cruiser was disabled, by an array of shots, and the Fleet, bemused, began to retreat to the planet. The XFI Shield was up, and should hold, while the ships prepared their defenses...
