OOC: I dont want this to become a large gaint thread since The Planet Jurai and i have a major gap is time zones and posting. So lets limit the ammount of people in this.

IC: The Eternal Fayth of Neo Zeta had watched The Planet Jurai a bug when compared to it aid to Republic and become a pest. Sensui head of Task Force Gray Wolf atlast saw fit to take the war to them. As a fleet of 2,120 Ships gathered and one fleet in back up. He sent a message to their leadership. He wanted to avoid death and destruction on both sides if possible.

To the leadership of The Planet Jurai. You have aided enemy forces and engaged allied ships. We are sending you one last warning. Cease your attacks and withdraw all ships to your home terrtory. If you do so we will leave it at that and your aggression will be forgiven. Faliure to do so will force us to disarm you by force and force terms on to you. You have two days to reply

Sensui waited and hoped. He didnt take much joy in destroying a weaker foe.

“It should not have come to this.” An elderly man in blue and white uniform said frankly, addressing the woman before him.

“I know, I just… Haven’t foreseen this turn of events.” The woman was forced to admit; she was fairly young, and though she welcomed changing from her usual heavy attires into simple purple kimono, this moment she felt the burdens of ruleship more then ever. The choices were before her, but no matter which choice she will make, people will suffer.

It is important to note that these two, who now had a private meeting in a small warroom, were the most powerful people in Jurai Empire: the man was High Admiral Morito Nazarene, commander of Jurai Imperial Navy, and the woman was Supreme Empress Ayeka Jurai (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ayeka_Jurai), nearly absolute ruler of Jurai Empire (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Planet_Jurai).

“However, if we withdraw at first sight of a conflict, it will serve only to show our weakness.” Ayeka said, “And not only that, but without extra assistance, the Republic will surely fall to the Triumvirate. I will not allow it, even if those villains are about to bring war to our home. How much forces we have on our borders with Eternal Dimensions?”

“Around 200 battleships in border systems, and around 400 more battleships in other nearest systems. Each border system also has Blackthorn I Star Base, and whatever planetary garrisons natives have. And finally, 1st Jurai Strike Force can be there within a few hours. That’s about it. Our other available forces are already mobilized to aid Republic, and the rest are required on our other borders.”

“What about Lord Kazuki? He is back from Velenora, I believe?”

Morito to a moment to check the archives, “Yes, his personal fleet includes 150 Jurai Battleships, plus some frigates of Cortosian making.”

“And 2nd generation Space Tree (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Space_Tree).” Ayeka almost exclaimed. “That’s perfect. I want three quarters of Jurai Battleships from the nearest systems to join with Lord Kazuki fleet. Also, while we still have time, send additional reinforcements from central systems to border planetary garrisons. This way, in case of attack, they should be able to hold on until Lord Kazuki’s fleet and 1st Jurai Strike Forces arrive. We’ll show them what it’s like to oppose Jurai Empire.”

Morito didn’t share his empress’ confidence, yet he nodded in agreement: this could work out.

42 hours later, Sub-Space transmission to commander of Neo Zeta fleet:
Your offer is declined; Jurai Empire will not stand aside and watch countless innocents being slaughtered by Triumvirate’s forces. If you wish to bring war to Jurai’s territory, so be it, but be warned: so far you and your allies have seen but a small portion of Jurai’s forces. We are ready to defend ourselves, and before this war is done, you will come to regret your rash decisions.

P.S. (OOC)

Just in case you haven’t done so already, you might wish to check The Planet Jurai's NSwiki page (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Planet_Jurai) (also avaliable from my signature)

A calloused hand carressed a deck of cards; placing them upon the shimmering, rune scripted table; watchign with eager eyes as the patterns of fate poured forth. Another, cast runes before him; studying signs and sigils, order in the form of Chaos; a glimpse into the blackest futures...Another let entrails speak to him; body violated; blood and flesh in unison, annointing one another, speaking truer than any words.

Death, War, Bloodshed, Chaos; the Beast, The Warlock; Madness.... The images washed forth like a terrible wave; a glorious wave. Chaos touched its fingers to the world and spoke through prescient quest. A small laughter rose from the Psykers lips as he turned. "The Augurs speak true; war and death all about; the galaxy in flames and tumult absolute.

They would watch for now; watch the unfolding battles; watch the war that had sprung from so few actions; as all the greatest conflicts do. For now, the Chronosians would leave Jurai in peace; for there was another world named Jurai that focussed their utmost attentions...And there was, after all, more battles to be fought and won...

Sensui sighed as he read the message then smirked " Ready all forces to destroy them. Send word to Deatharon this is their chance to gain some new planets as well."

The fleet first started sending transmissions all over Jurai. Images of how harsh Neo Zetan Crusaders were in their occupation of none Yevon followers.

The fleets would slowly advance from world to world bombing from orbit then sending as few ground troops as they could to bring the world under their controle. Their plan tho was to force the Jurai fleet to come out in force and fight a decisive battle.

Sensui would rather dual their leader to avoid wasting his ships in this small Invasion when such other large targets were about.

Very well you picked your path and you will Win or Pay. Remember tho even if you destroy our entire fleet whitch is unlikely. We could send another one with ease while you can not. But we will be sure to honor you in our history as a brave people. We will yet see if your worthy foes tho.

Although new to the intergalactic political scene, Urcan had seen enough of this Farce to continue to stand by.

* * *

"Zero, this is Big Red, We are on final approach to Jurai. Neo fleet is hidden from us on farside of planet. Am attempting to contact Jurai authorities. Out"

The small flotilla of ships slowly approached the Planet Jurai, whicle staying out of sight of the Neo forces that were quite literally just around the corner. The flotilla was small, only around 20 ships, and this was a substantial part of the Urcan space force that although small was expertly trained for such a new country. All of the ships were no bigger than light cruisers but seemed sleek and efficient, the orange flash on their prows denoting each ships allegance. Urcan.

Onboard the lead ship, the USS Gaetan, Admiral Davidson pressed the comm tab and called out to the planet Jurai.

"Jurai control this is Admiral Davidson onboard the USS Gaetan. We have been sent by the Urcan government to aid you in this potential conflict. Do you have a space force or shall we rendezvous planet side? Davidson out."

And so the waiting game began.

The fleets would slowly advance from world to world bombing from orbit then sending as few ground troops as they could to bring the world under their controle. Their plan tho was to force the Jurai fleet to come out in force and fight a decisive battle.

OOC:

Let’s role-play this battle-by-battle, shall we? The planetary garrisons may be small comparing to your fleet, but Jurai Battleships and Star Bases are pretty powerful, and as you could gather, reinforcements are on stand-by (and I’ll warn you ahead so that you [hopefully] won’t accuse me of Godsmodding in the future; 2nd generation Space Tree (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Space_Tree) is not to be trifled with).

IC:

As Neo Zeta fleet jumped into one of the border systems of Jurai Empire, Tier system, they immediately detected a small fleet made of 50 battleships and 10 destroyers. Also, there is a large star base orbiting the system’s only inhabited planet. No other forces are currently seen.

In Blackthorn I Star Base…

“By Tsunami’s Light, their fleet is HUGE!” A young Juraian officer exclaimed, the images of Neo Zetan cruelty still replaying in his mind.

“Take heart, we only need to hold on long enough until reinforcements will arrive.” The star base’s commander said. “And from what I heard, they are sending some Juraian lord here too, and you know what’s said about them.”

The junior officer nodded, even if a touch unsurely, it was unheard of for Juraian lord to lose a battle; Space Trees’ power was legendary, and Juraian lords were said to posses a power of their own too.

“Now initiate the defense procedure. We’ll show them what Jurai is capable of!”

As Neo Zetan ships were approaching the system, they detected numerous small objects separating from the star base, forming a line that then proceeded to slowly move forward. Meanwhile, the fleet turned to face the aggressors.

It was then, still before the ships entered the firing range, Sensui received a following message:
Warning! You are violating Jurai’s territory! You have one final chance to turn back and leave this system, otherwise we must attack!

Meanwhile, in Jurai System…

As Urcan’s fleet approached entered Jurai System, the beautiful sight (http://www.androidnews.com/images/Newest%20pics/juraiplanet.jpg) opened before them (OOC: click on the link to see the picture). However, this beauty appeared to be well-defended, for a fleet of a few thousands of huge battleships is positioned to defend the Planet Jurai from possible aggressors, as well as even bigger huge star fortress that hovers in some distance from the planet.

Within a short time of sending their message to the Planet Jurai, Admiral Davidson recieved the following reply:
We thank Urcan government for the assistance they offered, it is much appreciated. Even as we speak, Tier system on our border with Eternal Dimensions is about to be attacked by Neo Zetan's forces, and if you could aid Jurai Empire in that battle, it would be greatly appreciated. Since our reinforcements are currently based in Cortosia system, it would be best if you depart directly for Tier system. To provide you with additional firepower until our other forces will arrive, we will be sending 1st Jurai Strike Force along with your fleet, they will coordinate their speed to arrive at the same time with you (OOC: Urcan, when you will be posting about you fleet's arrival to Tier system, please not that your fleet is accompanied by 100 Jurai Battleships). We thank you again, and may Tsunami shine Her Light upon you.

100 Jurai Battleships separated from the main force and joined smaller Urcan fleet, forming a protective half-circle around it.

Another transmission to Admiral Davidson:
This is Rear Admiral Haruto in command of 1st Jurai Strike Force. We are ready anytime you are.

The Imperium did not need to send mighty fleets to every corner of the galaxy to enforce it's will. Here it sent a mere battlegroup of 500 ships; lead by a warrior whose armor was stained red with the blood of his victims. Many, they were, their skulls decorated his throne room; formed his throne, and their lifes ichors pooled in great vats at his feet; Behind him, the great orb; spiked and incricately disturbing and beautiful, spun; eternally aflame. The walls burned, great spikes jutting from the walls like the stalagmites of Hell itself. He chuckled softly; blond hair spinning madly about his head as he opened communications.

"ZETANS! These worms are not bound by treaty or by the Republic; they are flies to be squashed. You come in such numbers; yet they are so small! You are no sport! No honor!" Cabot cackled, bellowing with uproarious laughter.

"I shall take my fill of heads and blood here; I shall let them watch as I sip upon Juraian blood from one of their own skulls; such is the way of vengence, such is the way of Khorne!" He smirked softly. "We shall fight them as warriors; we need enemies! Skilled enemies; not these Taledonian cowards whose blood has dimmed in the generation! A single generation! Let us fight at your sides! Let our forces appease my God!"

Transmission to Chonosian forces:
Jurai Star Base Blackthorn I to unidentified fleet:
You are entering potential battlefield. Please, state your affiliation and allegiance, otherwise we will be forced to consider you a hostile force.

Probe 1597530

Probe 1597530, which had been places deep inside the system that Jurians inhabited, noticed the impending battle, the wary transmissions, and sent back notice to home that battle of massive scale was about to commence.

Diamid, Neo-Tiir, Hiigara

The Diamid, the ruling council of Hiigara, had been in hot debate as to wheather or not a larger fleet was necessary. Long had their ships been outnumbered, and long had they come out triumphant, but times were changing; even though the hiigarans were posessed of some of the best armor in the galaxy, especially after finally cracking the code on the Proginitor armor, one ship could still only take too much punishment, and the last few battles had shown that the Battlecruisers, which had been used so sparingly before, were becoming more and more commonplace in battle.

They were, however, interrupted in their debate to be informed that a new ally of the Republic was in grave danger. The response, although no one truly wanted to commit so many forces to battle, was unanimous with such a large ammount of ships.

A few hours later, after the quibbling of numbers had been concluded, a single transmission was sent from the probe to the nearby forces of Jurai:
Hiigara's Navy awaits your command, friend.

OOC: I am based around fewer number of much more powerful ships. Same thing with weapons on my ships, fewer but more powerful. For example, I only have 20 Battlecruisers (each 5 km in length), 20 Carriers (3 km in length), 160 Destroyers (1km in length), and numerous Frigates (approx. 250 meters in length) in offensive roles. However, these ships are markedly hard to kill, even the puny Frigates, due to their extremely advanced armor, and while the weapon tech is outdated in comparison with other FT nations, it has been perfected, honed, and practiced for a millenia, so it is still extremely effective, often moreso per ship than my enemies. Basically, I'm the guy that sends in ten ships to counter your 50 and we both come out even. Not Godmodding since I have so few ships.

<Sub-Space transmisssion to Hiigara:>
You offer of aid is most appreciated. Please, send whatever forces you can spare to Tier system, which is about to be attacked by Neo Zetan forces, and probably another unidentified fleet. Our other forces were already instructed to depart for Tier system as soon as possible, and they should be there in a matter of hours. Once again, thank you for your offer of aid, it is most appreciated.

OOC: I'll keep out of this battle, for the moment... but be warned I have 500 Germanische Zustande Vessels, happily upgraded into a mix of Godulan weapons with GZ specials, ready to go, just in case they're needed... Along with another fleet of Godulan Expeditionary...

OOC: I'll keep out of this battle, for the moment... but be warned I have 500 Germanische Zustande Vessels, happily upgraded into a mix of Godulan weapons with GZ specials, ready to go, just in case they're needed... Along with another fleet of Godulan Expeditionary...

OOC: Alright. Even if I lose here, there will be other battles to be fought, and then I will bring in much higher numbers. :D In either case (i.e. either in the future battles or in this one), you assistance will be much appreciated, needless to say.

Although some distance from the battlezone, tricklings of rumours have reached the highest powers of Antares. War is imminent.
Of the three nations which inhabit the planet, Gargantua City State extends a brief message to the Jurai:

"Should you come to a peaceful conclusion, or even survive a war, know that one third of the population of Antares willingly offers its services to help you reconstruct losses. As Gargantua City State views all armed conflict as avoidable, we are unable to send any forces to aid you. At best we could send a shielded transport with a proto-type antimatter planet buster to ease the suffering of your people should the aggressors against your empire be successful. Good luck."

<Sub-Space transmission to Gargantua City State:>
We thank Gargantua City State for their offer of aid. However, we KINDLY ask you not to send any "proto-type antimatter planet busters" into Jurai's territory, for we would view such action as obviously hostile, with all unfortunate results for our diplomatic relations.

Dread-Lord only watched as the two sides flexed thier military muscle. The Hell-Spawns would not enter, Not yet. For the time was not right. Dread-Lord thinks to himself...." War has no rules, and becuase of that- thats when we will enter."

He looked to grunt demon and ordered that 200 Cult class heavy battleships be put on stand-by

Cult Class heavy battle ship

Aboard the Gaetan Admiral Davidson issued orders to those around him

"Helm, set course to Tier, the co-ordinates should be coming through to your station now, engage at Tac 8 on my command. Tactical, I want full weapons readiness and formation status of the fleet as soon as possible. Science get me numbers and types of enemy ships the minute, and i mean that, we get in system. Understood?"

The chorus of "Aye, Sirs" that bounced around the bridge comforted Macready who had been in the forces for as long as he could remember. The fact that this ship was almost a living entity and to some of his staff might as well have been a close family member bonded the crew together in ways unfathomable to any civilian. As it was now the atmosphere was tense, the crew had an idea of what odds they were facing and it could be seen on the faces of some of the younger personnel as thy tried to show courage in the face of what was to come, their faces set in a sort of grimace while their emotions still boiled beneath the surface.

Davidson tapped a panel on his command chair and sent a message to Jurai and then to the fleet.

Jurai, this is the Gaetan, We will be leaving for Tier in less than three minutes. Gaetan Out.

Jurai Fleet this is Admiral Davidson we will see you in the Tier system, your arrival will be unheralded by us, Inform me when you are in position. God Speed and Good hunting Gaetan Out.

Hell, I remember my first battle, I vomited in the head before i got to my post. And still these guys put on the stiff upper lip, Sometimes you wish nobody had to die for a war no one would ever remember. Well Mac, you've survived a couple of those, don't let this be a change in tradition.

"Helm, Engage"

The fleet swung around and almost as one winked out of normal space to begin their 5 hour journey to the tier system.

== Next post, Tier system ==

OOC:

Let’s role-play this battle-by-battle, shall we? The planetary garrisons may be small comparing to your fleet, but Jurai Battleships and Star Bases are pretty powerful, and as you could gather, reinforcements are on stand-by (and I’ll warn you ahead so that you [hopefully] won’t accuse me of Godsmodding in the future; 2nd generation Space Tree (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Space_Tree) is not to be trifled with). OOC: Sorry i ment that as to show my plan. My fleets are just now entering your space. That was just to state what they planned to do sorry if it was no clear. And Christopher Thompson if your aid Jurai you risk starting up the war agian.


IC: Sensui laughed as the fleet was much larger then was needed for this opration. However Sensui wanted a overwellming victory with in a short ammount of time.

A message was sent to Jurai one that would take much hope out of them.

Please do not hope for The Republic to aid you. Peace talks are starting and one of the agreements already made and given to me from The leader of The Republic himself. That you are mine and they wont step in as i force your surrender

The Fleet slowly entered the system they were ready for action. The commanders of the Fleet were experinced officers of the Gaian War and The Deatharon Invasion. The Flag ship was a Fayth Super Battleship. The fleet had fighters on stand by and Mobile Suits ready to invade anyworld they came across.

Intel had shown Jurai chould not match Neo Zetas numbers but her ships were decent. Tho they knew fear had to be running threw them. Base case for them Neo Zeta takes most of their planets whitch would be more harsh then any occupation the Germans could have done. Worse Case Chronosia takes them. Either way they either had to win or Pay.

The Fleets sent one last message to enemy shipsToday your desruction comes. Your payment for your attacking our allies will be paid in Blood. Your population will learn a new way of life under us. Your leaders will become our servents. For it is not only Yevons will but Empress Mukuros as well.

Again They Move, more suffering, more taint, more chaos, their races all have so much potential, yet they squander their lives, ripping each other apart, and the name of the chaotic power, Chronosia, a curse in many a tongue, Why do they fight, Why do they form their alliances just to cause more death?

Never the less, The Commonwealth cannot take sides, if necessary, they can, and will, all be destroyed if they do not see the error of their ways, they must all unite, the darkness must be purged.

-Vice Admiral Daelás Kye, 23rd Taskforce, "The Hunter", Mantle Class Battleship.

The Imperial Republic had remained in the shadows as powers rose in the galaxy, and of course, proceeded to rip each other to peices in anyway imaginable, war had raged for too long now, And the Imperial Republic, aided by those it could be, had hastily formed a commonwealth, but the Imperial Republic was the only one with the Fleet to act, and so it had become the figurehead, And even know, its forces of light were inbound for this new.. Conflict.

The 23rd Taskforce was a prestigious group of ancient and new, proud captains and fresh ensigns, The white hulls of new vessels, and the slightly greyish tint on the older Mantle Classes, battleproven and battlehardy Battleships, all ships, big and small made up the taskforce, and they had a new objective.

4 Battleships, 3 Mantles And a New Mantis Class made up the Capital core, of course, Nations have different classifications, and it could be argued these were more Super-Dreadnaughts, the powerhouses of the Fleet, rather than Battleships, 3 Carriers provided fighter-bomber basings, whilst 18 Destroyers, 6 Cruisers, 20 Frigates nad numerous other ships made up the bulk of the formation, around 20 other ships were part of the taskforce, 3 Battlecruisers, 12 Escort Cruisers (Multi-Role Ships), and of course, 3 Hydraphore Transports, the bases of the Legions, warriors and mechinations that would fight any ground war the Taskforce came across.

Blinking into existence a safe distance from any potential conflict, the fleet assumed a neutralized formation, but armed its defensive systems.

"Transmit the Message, this will be the only warning." Kye said, from the bridge of "The Hunter", it was a cavernous room lined with a multitude of computer banks and other such things, as any capital ship should have.

A Message fed itself into space, of course, it was directed at any party that so wished to hear it.

"End this pointless conflict immeaditly, We will not permit further bloodshed in your futile war, it only serves to end promising lives and eradicate promising worlds, your races could do so much more, it is time you put your differences aside, The Taint that spreads before your very eyes is the threat, Fight that, not yourselves and not your fellow beings.

This is the only warning, if you continue in this hostile stance, the side that dares to allow the taint of Chronosia within its ranks will be destroyed, completely."

OOC: The ships use the same system as Christoper Thompson, almost, the more ships you decide to throw in your fest of death, if you so choose to go ahead and fight, the stronger my ships becoem to counter the obscene amount of ships you seem to be able to afford to throw at someone.

Of course, those with small fleets will of course, be paid the same respect and will be equalised.

<Sub-Space transmission to Arenumberg’s fleet>
We hope that you can see that Juraian forces are on defense here. We didn’t wish that war, but neither could we stand aside and watch countless innocents being slaughtered by Triumvirate’s forces. Should our foes choose to peacefully leave our territory, we will not pursue them, nor will we seek to bring war to their own territory. However, should another civilization be made target of their aggression, we cannot promise to stand aside and watch innocents being slaughtered.

Meanwhile…

Juraian fleet completed its new formation, with destroyers in the center and battleships forming a protective half-circle around them. The ships halted, refraining from making the first move. Neo Zeta’s last transmission was not replied. The small objects, that could now be distinguished as small spiked balls also halted beside Juraian fleet, still forming a line. Neo Zetan long-range radars also detected multiple take-offs from the inhabited planet’s surface, but so far it’s early to determine the number of the ships, and the distance is too long to precisely determine their size.

On Jurai flagship’s bridge:

“Captain, HPCs are charged and ready to fire! The natives’ forces likewise report that they are ready to release starfighters and fire fusion missiles any time now!”

“Very well, everyone, keep on stand-by. Jurai will not be the one to make the first shot here, but be ready to retaliate as soon as the enemy opens fire.”

Sensui sat on the Bridge of his flagship tapping the arm of his chair. He smiled and looked at their fleet gathering. He turned to his first officer. " Stay out of weapons range make them come to use. Ready long range mines target.....the planet. I want it to burn show their people this will be like anyother war they have faced befor. This is a total war and as such no one will be safe. This is how you bring a swift end to a war"

" But sir they have said they wont attack our terrtory nore have they done anything to warrent us to use such force."

Sensui turned and faced his first officer " Dont you ever back talk your commanding officer agian or it will be your last words!"

He noded as the order was sent to all ships. Their mine tubes opened and took aim at the nearby world(s). They opened fire 700 Mines. They were fast and hard to hit. Their payload would could destroy battleships if they hit in the right spot and if their shields were weak enough. The damage they could do to worlds would be equaly destructive.

At first the mines would seem to be heading for the Fleet untell they broke from their corse and set their sights on the nearby world(s).

The Task Force readyed it self for Jurai to send in ships. Anti Fighter/Mine guns readyed as well as the larger weapons. More mines were loaded to deal with oncomeing Capital Ships. Fighters could luanch in a hearbeat. Sensui waited for them. He assumed they would be a enraged enemy to come chargeing at his larger task force.

OOC: Schwaa?? When did the republic bow to such agreements? Post link please. Also, just because Talidonia or some other nation agrees, does not mean that I agree. If I commit myself to war, I will be acting alone, without the grace and support of the Republic, IF what you say is true, but I will be committing myself to this. I do not leave someone who has aided me high and dry when they most need me.

IC: Defense Station Sajuuk, Hiigara

It was a mighty military assembly. Every offensive ship in the entire empire had been recalled for the impending battle. The massive docks of the mighty defense station, however, were not even close enough to being able to accomodate every ship. They dock was, in fact, filled ten times over as ships took turns retro-fitting and re-arming as the battle strategy was worked-over by every major commander in the fleet, each contributing to the battle plan, slowly perfecting it as their ships were out-fitted. Normally, ships are out-fitted at various intervals as to keep such congestion from happening, but now they needed every ship going into battle to be at peak effeciency and upgraded entirely. The millions of PDAs (Phased Dissassembler Array) and PAAs (Phased Assembly Array) were working overtime as they took ships' scars, broke them down into their raw components, and re-built them atom-by-atom to perfection.

New squadrons were manufactured, and the few ships that had not recieved the proginitor upgrade were accomodated as soon as possible. Their armor would be fifteen times more resilient after the upgrade, and their weapons would be much more efficient. The ships would also be much heavier and slower, save for the new engines which would make up most of the difference in speed. Most noteably, shields would be dissassembled from each ship, save the electron shielding, and taken off, as shields, after the new upgrade, were deemed ineffective at protection versus their energy consumption.

Deep inside the base, the plan was finalized as commanders made their way for their ships to take-off when they were finished stocking and re-fitting. Every major defense station had the same schedule: Prepare for war. And in twenty-four hours, they would be ready to jump to the rendevous point before jumping into battle.

OOC: Thanks for your aid, Christopher! I’ll be waiting for your ships to arrive!

IC:

“Mines!”

“Alright, nothing new here, prepare for defensive fire.”

At once, numerous cannons extended from battleships’ hulls and began fire as soon as the mines were within their firing range. The cannons were many, and Juraian gunners obviously knew their job well; most mines didn’t come anywhere close to Jurai Battleships. However, Juraians were in for quite a shock, when the few remaining mines didn’t struck harmlessly against their shields, but rather changed their course and continued towards the planet.

“The bastards!” swore Captain Cali, commander of Juraian fleet in Tier system. “Everyone, fire the rear weapons, don’t let mines reach the planet! And have natives do something useful too; it is their world, after all!”

Jurai Battleships proceeded to fire from their side and rear weapons at the mines, and destroyers soon joined in; though their weapons were fewer and their gunners obviously lacked Juraians’ skill. And the few mines that somehow made it past through intensive fire were met by natives’ defense satellite; though the relatively short range of their lasers wouldn’t allow them to aid the fleet far above, they fulfilled their role by making short work of the remaining mines. None reached the planet’s surface.

OOC:

700 mines over a very long distance (I assume that you are outside the range of our HPCs at the moment, and that is a very long distance indeed), with my fleet making around 1500 shots per few seconds… Sorry, but no real chance here.

IC (again):

Somewhere…

“So… That’s what they have done…” a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties muttered, as he stood alone in what appeared some strange kind of garden, but in fact was his spaceship’s bridge. And this particular spaceship needed no crew.

The man hated wars, but he wasn’t naïve enough not to realize that they were often inevitable, and he hated even more those who sought to start wars. But what has happened mere minutes ago, an unprovoked attack against civilian target, was in the man’s opinion, the lowest thing one could done.

“They will pay,” the man said simply. “Especially the one who gave that order. I will find him, and Tsunami help me, I will put end to his vile life.”

The man turned communication on, and issued quick instructions to many other ships that traveled alongside with his:
New orders were imprinted into your ships’ systems. Act upon them. Remember, there will be no warnings, no fairness, and no mercy. I want Neo Zetan fleet destroyed. Utterly.

The man turned communications off and sighed. He knew he was doing the right thing, but still…

”Is it really necessary?” the new feminine voice was soft as wind, and it seemed to be coming from everywhere at once.

“You know it is,” The man replied “Otherwise, I wouldn’t be doing this. These predators attack because they think we are weak. It is time we show them how wrong they are. We all have our parts to play in this… But yours is the most important.”

The were no words in the next gust of wind, only the overwhelming sadness…

The Neo Zetan Fleet stayed in postion. Sensui turned to his chief of oprations " Their defensive skill is 14.43% higher then expected. Put this into the computer banks and set it so adapt to anymore changes. Send this information mation to all other ships."

The Neo Zetan Fleet waited still and loaded more mines this time the mines held the virus known as the Quickening. This virus would decay the DNA of 45% of people who come into conntact. The Virus had been used many times by The Dominion befor it became part of Neo Zeta. They would fire as soon as word from High Command reached them.

Sensui smiles " Soon they will attack and we will strike a crippling blow here and now."

Juraian fleet remained on position; despite the enemy's attempt to strike at the civilian planet, Captain Cali knew too well that should they attack, it will be the death of their's. Besides, her orders were inflexible. She could only hope that reinforcements and allies will come soon.

Meanwhile, the take-offs from planet ceased; now Neo Zetan ships could detect that it were 5 light cruisers and 30 frigates that left the planet to join the coming battle. Light cruisers made their way to the main fleet, joining the destroyers behind the line of Jurai Battleships. Frigates, on the other hand, flied to the star base and formed a semi-circle between it and Neo Zetan fleet, apparently to provide the star base with additional protection in case of an attack.

OOC: By the way, Neo Zeta, how long is your virus' radius? The last time, the last of your mines were shot down still in space, before they reached the planet's atmospehre (though not far from it).

OOC: Well they are the same type mines except they are lighter do to only haveing gas as its payload. Howeved if i used this i would luanch more then befor. I know most would be shot down and once exposed to the harshness of space the virus would die. Its up to you really if they make it to your planet and how many they kill over time.

IC: The Fleet formed a formation where its Battlecruisers and Cruisers were at the Front. Their Battleships and Commandships stayed right behind them with Fighter and Attack Ships on the flanks. They still awaited word from High Command and word from their allies to begian the attack. Useing this Virus was somthing only The Head of the Military himself can give the word to use.

OOC: Got word from them to go ahead with untell he arrives or what not. Also shell we agree to 2 allies per side to keep it from getting hard to keep up with all the post and time between post? I dont want what happened in The Lets Roll thread happen here.

IC: Sensui looked up after reading his orders from High Comman. He was given permission to use the virus only if the battle is one and they do not wish to seek terms.

Sensui stood on the bridge and looked out at the Jurai fleet. " All ships engage your engians to battlespeed and advance.

The Neo Zetan Task force begian to advance. Their shields and weapons at full power. The Crusader Ships stood out with the Sign of Yevon on their ship.

As they advanced they entered fireing range of long range Ion Cannons and Disrupters.

" Open Fire!!" Sensui yelled as The Ships on the Front of the Formation opened fire with their long range weapons. The Unluanched fighters would wait untell they were close then they would go in and try to gut the Enemy ships

But the order was given that any enemy who surrenders is to be taken POW and not killed. Mukuro must be in one of her good moods Sensui thought..

OOC: The Crusader ships are the same types as my others however they are usely red and have the Sign of Yevon. Also they have Diminsonal Cannons. Whitch charge Diminsonal Energy and send it out as a beam at enemy ships. Its very powerful but is a major energy drain. Each ship can only use it 20 times befor it sucks up the power devoted to it. If they kept fireing it would drain shield energy and other systems. Also its not a rapid fire weapon. Its best use is on Star Bases

Rally Point, The Great Wastelands

The Great Wastelands stretched as far as the eye could see with ruin, the ruins of ships far older and more sophisticated than any could imagine. Ships of curious and exotic design, devoid of life and purpose for thousands of years littered the place, some less than a meter in length, and others of awe-inspiring scale, filling the infinite void of space. Countless millenia had passed in order for gravity alone to draw them together and form the largely uncharted space that makes up The Great Wastelands, and that is specifically why it was chosen as a rally point.

Over the past twenty hours, the entire offensive operational force of Hiigara had been gathering, and soon they would make their move. Hyperspace signitures came singing in as more and more ships moved in, getting into their assigned place in what was soon becoming the largest offensive organized formation that Hiigara had ever mounted in the last two-thousand years. More and more ships came, the line seemingly endless as they all slowly took their place, preparing for battle. Soon they would make their move.

OOC: Expect my help to arrive tommarrow/monday.

OOC: I was wondering to avoid mass confusion should be Pair off? Like Chronosia and Christopher Thompson And Neo Zeta vs Jurai and one of the other small allies? To be honost i am smill learning how to RP battle on a large scale. Just idea feel free to scoth at it and what not ^^;; i am still noobish at times when it comes to mass fleet battle rps.

OOC: Sounds fine to me. But we need a way to seperate us out, then. Chronosia, do you have any FTLi capabilities to hear of? If so, you could stop my hyperspace, and engage me outside of the main theater of battle, thus creating a second theater of battle. Although I warn anyone who's trying to face me: This is my entire offensive navy. It may be small, but it's very sturdy. For IC and OOC reasons, I'd like to not lose this battle. I may only send in 28 ships larger than 4km, but I'll be damned if it isn't hard as all hell to kill one of those ships. Also, I'd like to not lose this battle (whatever happens to Jurai is whatever happens, there are ways to make me win but Jurai lose if it comes to it) because three Battlecruisers (the Silvana, Cloud Solis and Urbanus) and a few of the Agamemnon Supercarriers are rimportant to my rps.

OOC: I dont mind you winning your fight or at that very least being able to withdraw your forces pretty much intact tho you need to work that out with Chronosia. I too do not wish to lose i cant really see me loseing since i spend around 3 times as much on defense as Jurai dose according to NS econemy calculaters. Howeved i am willing to take some loses since this is Jurai terrtory and seeing as they would have stations and such.

My ships are large in number tho many are light ships. My larger ships are pretty powerful tho i dont have one of my SSD's here so dont worry about it. My ships range from small ships to 3 KM large ships. in this fleet other then the Fayth Command ship which is 4.5 Km ( just a larger battleship.)

If we're going to orchestrate this properly, we're gonna need an OOC thread, especially 'cause I wanna understand everyone's tech before this gets going. OOC thread link?

OOC: I will try and get one up later time for bed now.

OOC:

OOC Thread is now done: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447434

For convenience's sake, I'll quote some of the recent OOC comments into that thread. Oh, and I'll make my next IC post as soon as I am able too. (And hopefully, Urcan won't take too long with his next IC post too...)

"Who are we? What is our intent? Oh, little worms! We are the warders on the path to hell! We are the guides along the road to Damnation! You fight not one of us; but legions. We are the servants of the God's, the bloodied hand of Khorne! We are Chaos! We are the Imperium!" Cabot roars in tyrannical laughter; as he hits a switch; and red alert flashes throughout each vessel in his vast fleet.

"Let us guide these fools to their dooms; let their souls feed the Warp! We commend their blood and skulls to Khorne! Rid them of their impurity; BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!"

And with that it was begun; the weapons roared to live; torpedoes and missles streaming from siloes; Warp Cannons screaming into terrible life; lances firing in concert with Turbolazers and Ion Cannons; the entire Imperial arsenal emptied against their foes; mines and bombs littering the battlefield; to explode in massive fusion detonations that sundered space, making the fabric of reality shudder about the crackling psychadelic glow of chaotic Warp Cannon fire.

In a single moment, a single movement; hell is unleashed upon Jurai; and the drop pods and boarding pods begin to hurtle forth; their phase fields crackling; ready to greedily devour hull and force their abominable super-human cargo into the enemy vessels.

In other places; teleport arrays whirl and hiss, to send troops screaming into materialisation within the enemy vessels; Sorcerors invoke the lesser Daemons of Khorne, and Bloodletters grasp at hissing daemon axes; Berzerkers roar in primal blood lust, donning their helmets and covering themselves in blood; Chainaxes whirling in desperate need for Skulls.

And above all; presiding over this orgy of preparation and madness; is Cabot De Drakan; his own helmet now upon his head; its face a grinning skull lined with blood; blood seeps from the joints; blood hisses from the breathing apparatus as his entire body readies for slaughter. Skulls line his belt; skulls are draped down his back, interwoven in a cape of screaming human skin. He raises his twin axes; Havoc and Malice, high above his head and screams in bloody triumph; as Space Marine and Daemon pour into boaridng pods and hurtle forth; as the Berzerkers bellow their maddened war cries to Khorne; their sanity robbed by black devotion; their axes hungry; as Cabot readies; and then vanishes in a hiss of arcane technology; to appear with his crazed troops; and reap his terrible harvest...

*The Angelic Realms*

In the deep white vastness of Intracella space, where the stars gleamed even brighter despite the gleaming backgrounds here, are numbers of worlds that have defy all laws of normal physics. The planets here are always alive and vibrant. Angels and mortals do coexist, and the worlds themselves are respected as living essences all their own.

Here, a tight cluster of planets, no less unlike a major planet with planet-satellites around it, as if the planets were also space stations, held sway in the immediate area.

And here, White Diamond/Sapphire now exists, as well as many of the worlds it had claimed in the mortal plane, prior to the Angelic Accords Enactment.

Now ten years later, and the permission of the Gods of Intracella and Celestia, the Gaians were able to start paying more attention to the realm they left behind.

They did not like what they saw. Not the warfare so much, since the Gaians and Ascendants had seen enough infernal warfare to raze tens of hundreds of other normal universes to a bleach nd bled white, but rather, that the lack of human respect and compassion did not seem to hold sway now.

Or honor for that matter.

"~ I will go personally. ~" Comes the voice of the One Lord of Gaian. The real name shown on the mortal plane was Aleaic of Kerensky, son of Terrai.

He spoke to the twelve. Mainly the three Ladies Excellency that held most of his heart, despite all his love. (and Heaven has shown so much of this for him.) "~ We understand, and will accompany. Which chariot will it be this time love? ~" ..comes the voice of a different Lady Tsunami. Lady Arashi and Lady Jennifer listend for the rapt answer.

Aleaic responds.. "~ The size of the Eternal Destiny is no longer the largest of war's creations. And I prefer the view it gives of the stars. Thus is my choice. Take each your own vessels my twelve, and then three vessels to each chosen chariot.

That will be enough given our power. The kind not of war's need, but of awe and respect.

We can't just leave all as is, with out our old voice into the matter, to save lives that will one day join us out here. We leave when you all are ready. ~"

"~ Very good. ~" Lady Jennifer responds.

---

They do not know the location of this battle and war, but the gravitational eddies and warps show a place to enter the area. As such, about one parsec away from the main battlefields, a large fleet of seventy-seven Ascendancy WarShips, centered around the A-SSD, three regular SSDs, and a bevy of old classes of Gaian vessels. Also added, were the Angelic Cathedral Ships. Vessels of angelic make, in the theme of the Imperiium way of life, shaped as entire vessels of the might of Heaven, with no power save Hell itself to do the same, and to destroy with equal hate and all malice that is black. These hold position near the Eternal Destiny.

All with the power of an angelic aura and essence that demanded attention. Mere prescene did this, and nothing more. Nothing more was needed.

Then an angelic beacon signal was sent. No message, or anything else.

Just a plain homing signal.

The Gaians then waited for 'all' sides to investigate.

--

((OC- Cathedral Ships, and the Infernal Wrath Ships, are basically the Heaven and Hell versions of Warhammer 40,000 starship vessels. Just apply the proper imagination of heaven or hell to a 40,000 vessel, and you'll get the idea. It's not to godmod, rather to give an impression of the next state of being, that is in my mind, adherred to everything that is themed here.

Not planning on a fight. =^^= ))

OOC: Not going to post any battle movements since Jurai has responded to my last one.

IC: The Fleet picked up the signal but was engaged now and would be unable to send ship to see what it was. Tho Sensui in the back of his mind knew what it might be.

On each ship the troops readyed to fight they would show no mercy on the worlds if it came to it. They told their enemys if they surrender they will be kept in peace but if they force them to come in their and die beating them then their wrath would be great. The New Abh-Fayth Clones were going to lead Neo Zetan troops. They were brutal Demon like creations. They would eat the flesh of people to strike fear into their enemys. They were built in with many advances.

The battle had just started and Sensui was already wondering how to lay Jurai to waste. Either to Bomb it from orbit or send out wave after wave of brutal heartless attacks. Neo Zeta was most angery at the arrogence of Jurai. The Republic had made peace and the one Republic nation who came would soon either leave or be a enemy of The Republic. Jurai would have no one to save them for their crimes. Becuase of their aid to the Republic more lifes were lost then need be. Allies blood had been spilled and Yevon and The People demanded a equal ammount of Jurain blood be spilled. And seeing as Jurain blood wasnt equal to Theirs many Jurains would be destroyed if they dont give in.

This was the face of war. Neo Zeta was doing what all nations do in war...They will kill the enemy.

.......save one.

The Ascendancy fleet, in all it's namesake glory, held station, as they began a intracite series of deep space scans, particle and physical matter reaction and proaction scans. Scans of the Universal Weave, as well as Universal Memory was used to get the full story of everything, or in as much as could be discerned through the discord that emotion and death contrived to disrupt.

All this would give the Ascendancy what it seeked. Knowledge. There 'was' no greater power than this. Another lesson Heaven was replete in, as the infinites held knowledge in equal measure. Total measure as well.

"~ I want a full discern of the situation to me within two hours. Total detail to be digested through holo-link with the Holo-cores, to our mental units. ~" Aleaic commanded almost a moment after Arashi distracted him from the view of the stars he once called home.

"~ We call them home still love. ~" Arashi proded, hence the command after. The three Ladies stood behind him, even though their respective WarShips held station amongst the fleet.

Aleaic then commanded. "~ Also calculate the final focal point of the war here, and then begin calculation of the proper strategem to use to make a disruption of magnitude to possibly end the war at our theme of mind.

The blood spilled will shed tears anyway, but I feel our presence is causing a lack of respect for human essence to exist. We must prod them all away from this if it is required. ~"

Just then, behind them all.. "~ The Lords of Above will not like it if we fight in a mortal battle. ~" ..comes the voice of Lord Ackronus, no less imposing and strong minded than before. Aleaic replies back over his shoulder, across the short distance to Advisory One.

"~ I will take my chances for one time, if it shapes a peacefuly destiny for a thousand years. ~"

"~ Never changes. ~" Jennifer says to Tsunami, who smiles back.

And if they all are idealistic minded to any other that encounters them now, the meaning of the word is like asking if the sun is made of light. Too obvious a thing to consider, that it makes the mind cringe from such cheery results of such thought.

"My Lord-" The voice buzzed incessantly like a gnat in Cabot's ear; eliciting a growl from the Lord of Slaughter as he whirled.

"What is it? I hunger for war; and you distract me with mindless prattle! Speak quickly, lest I tear that tongue from your head; servant."

"Forgive me, my Lord, but a fleet seems to have appeared."

"Friend or Foe?"

"We know not my Lord, we await your order."

"Patch me through to main communications."

"It is done, Lord."

Foreign fleet; you have entered into the midst of a mater entirely regarding the Imperium and her allies. We advise you to leave, immediately; lest the wrath of Khorne fall upon you. We wish only to take our prey; and claim their blood and skulls for Khorne's hunger! Do not force us to add you to our trophy racks...Identify yourselves; or be damned!

And with that, the Primarch ceased communications; striding forht, axes whirring and crackling with foul energy; each rune-engraved tooth of the axes howling in chain-fed fury. Lightning seemed to dance between its teeth; static hissing and spitting... He hungered; they hungered; and now they would feed; and Khorne would be pleased...Yes; he would be pleased; no matter where the blood flowed from.

Foreign fleet; you have entered into the midst of a mater entirely regarding the Imperium and her allies. We advise you to leave, immediately; lest the wrath of Khorne fall upon you.

What was returned was the last thing the Chronosians probably expected.

"~ To call agent of Heaven itself damned is a paltry bit of humor to call us of Ascendancy. Both in name, and in near practice.

And to call upon this while 'I' reside to witness events upon my own original home plane of existence, shows to me there is need to consider if the passions of your words cloud judgement too far.

We are the same that the Ascendants found us, hieghtened. We remain, but to not interfere, as our masters of light command of us. But we 'do' hold right to take the dead into our care, after your lust is satiated enough.

A lust that may be your own damnation if you follo this path for too much longer. We know that path, we have fought it with our own blood on the most infinite battlefields of beyond imagination, and your imagination of those battlefields cannot match this. Impressive your lords and weapons are, they pale, as much as ours, as much as all ally on any side here, to the combined might of Heaven, and the wretches of Hell.

They, He, She, and All is our place now, and no other commands us otherwise.

Regards,
Lord Excellency Aleaic Saloam Kerensky
First Throne of the Ascendant Ascendancy ~"

We know no Heaven, we know no Hell! There is only the warp! These souls shall be commended to its foul embrace; as their blood is spilled for Khorne; their skulls taken for his skull throne! Mighty our weapons are, great and terrible our Lords; and high and gilded are your words; but we have seen the faces that lie beyond reality! No tales of Heaven or Hell can compare to the Glory of the Four! Their servants serve us and aid us; their glory is ours through black service! We are the Imperium! We are the eternal glory that shall stain the stars and reunite Mankind!

They did not care for convoluted talk of Heavens or Hells; they did not care of Ascendant beings. What did the movements of planes other than Materium and Immaterium matter? Nothing! Not so long as the God's were pleased.

With infinite power and patience; the second volley was cautiously unleahsed against the Juraians; and the hunt forth forth in black and tyrannous fury. Skulls would be taken, blood would be spilt; the Imperium's glory would swell. For the greatest of Crusades loomed...

The Excellency only listened to the return communiquae with, to be honest, a humored mindset. After which, he and his companions exchanged glances.

"~ Their gods 'did' teach them too well. A bit blindly and close minded as well. But, we cannot force their minds. All sides share a turth all their own, and usually to the forsake of all 'other' truths to their own. ~"

Aleaic then rises from his command seat upon the Command Platform, and leans on the console edge of the floating platform, connected to the gangway towards Advisory One center.

"~ Course Hell relishes the unwitting. Too much so. ~"

Aleaic then looks from his wives, and to Tactical and then Strategic Sectors. "~ Where are the lines, give projection upon forward holo at my location. ~"

As ordered, a quick blink of a vast hologram of the immediate 100 light-years of space gives a real time view of the battlefields no develpoing. The Chronisian and Zetan advances were all too noticable. Aleaic watched with a keen eye.

"~ Blunt force. Unless I miss my eye. ~" ..Lady Tsunami comments.

"~ Aye. ~" Aleaic only comments.

== guys i will post as sson as, i have just come out of hospital, see you all soon ==

The Fuhrer Alfred Von Antheron recieved word from the Neo Zetan Empire that they needed help crushing another upstart nation. The Fuhrer once again drawing on the Hivemind calls out the Ithkul Harvester HiveFleet Waffen the personal bodyguard fleet of the Fuhrer. The Hivefleet Waffen recieves its orders to crush the Jurai in a massive battle along side Neo Zeta's forces. Personally the Harvester Hive Fleet wanted to devour all in its path.

The Massive Harvester Hive Fleet enters the Jurai territory via Wormhole Gate.

Rally Point, Great Wastelands

Finally, it was done. Every offensive naval ships in the empire had arrived. The Great Wastelands sung with the pale sky blue that was the color of the Hiigaran warship, the space gleamed with pride as they were finally in formation, after too long a wait. There it was, in all its glory: The Hiigaran Offensive Navy. Comprised of eight Agamemnon-Class Supercarriers at the heart of the formation, thirty Carriers in a sphere around them, one-hundred-thirty-two Destroyers in an even larger sphere around that formation, three-hundred Flak Frigates, half by the destroyers, and half in a wall formation out front with one-hundred-fifty Ion Canon Frigates and twenty Battlecruisers. It was an awesome sight to behold.

HES Battlecruiser Silvana

“Sir, we’re receiving communications from all of the Supercarriers that they want us to take control of the fleet movements and strategy in battle,” said Melphina, the ship’s AI.

“Excellent,” the commander, Alex Rowe, responded. “When we reach our destination, have all Strikecraft launch and attack their preferred targets. I want a fighter-screen out front dealing with the Chronosian horde before we move our larger ships in. when they’re busy, we’ll move out wall forward, and slowly crush them like the Roman legions of old. When battle commences, lock every ship down. All blast doors sealed, all defensive autocannons deployed. They’ll move men into our ships and try to kill us from the inside, and I want us to be ready. Shut down the transporters inside the ship. If they teleport in and want to go somewhere, they’ll have to walk a few kilometers to get to it. And fifty millimeter rounds will be pounding them all the way.”

“Yes sir. Orders are out,” replied the communications officer.

“Good,” replied Rowe. “Jump into hyperspace.”

And they were gone, running in the void.

Jurai Held Space, 150 km behind Chronosian Horde

The fleet exited, blips coming into existence by the hundreds every second. The Hiigaran Fleet had arrived, and they wasted no time getting into action. All strikecraft were ordered to launch, and they poured out in the thousands. Interceptors, bombers, Gunships, Pulsar Gunshis, all flew out in their groups and took position on each flank of the battle group. It appeared that a small change was made.

Silvana

The rest of the battlegroup was confused on why the captain of the Silvana had stopped the hyperspace jump 250 km behind the enemy forces, but everyone on board the Silvana knew why. The true power behind the twenty battlecruisers was not their extreme usefulness in close-quarters combat, although their armor and turreted heavy weapons allowed them to perform well in that respect; it was their main cannon which could launch devastatingly powerful and frighteningly accurate rounds at enemy ships, gutting most ships its size in a single shot.

“Melphina,” the captain said in a calm, deep tone.

“Yes sir?” she replied, crurious.

“Have all orders here go to all other battlecruisers as you see fit.”

“Yes sir.”

“Also, activate protocol ANCHOR.”

“Yes sir, activating now; sending orders now.”

A giant spike registered in every battlecruiser as they shook, and slowly steadied. Their engines, silently resting before, went to 50% power as every maneuvering port in the ship became active. The ANCHOR propulsion system was just that; and anchor. It prevented the ship from being propelled backwards when it fired, and more importantly, it allowed for extreme accuracy through precise movement of every maneuvering jet in the ship.

“Anchor system active,” Melphina replied after a few seconds.

“Good. Charge main cannon, fire at will.”

“Roger, charging cannon, sending replies immediately.”

The Chronosian Horde would have to go to the Hiigarans, not the other way around. But it would not be hard to find them, as the Main Cannons from every Battlecruiser readied and fired at their fleet, twenty shells, ten-thousand tons of tungsten-ferrite, propelled at forty-five kilometers per second towards the enemy per shell, one salvo a minute would greet them un-matched until the enemy was in range. And the first salvo launched…right about now.

Chronosian ships shook with impacts from the enemy fire; turning like slumbering giants to face down their foes; shields and point defence lasers had dealt with many shells; but others tore forth; to sunder and wound the hulls of the proud and mighty vessels. The Captains offered up silent prayers to the four Powers, and then commanded the immediate counteroffensive.

Warp cannons glowered with baleful fire, gouting forht in explosions of light and energy; lances struck out against the foe; missles and torpedoes surged forward in cleansing waves; as the spiked prows of drop pods shuddered forth, plunging like daggers towards the enemy vessels; the second wave of Khornate attack forced towards their foes; alive with primal scream, and timeless fury.

These were the sons of the Imperium; these were the Warriors of Blood; The Wolfsbane. They were Chaos incarnate; and they would know no fear....

OOC: Please re-read the post; I've changed it a bit, added detail.

Juraian fleet was ready for Neo Zetan assault, even though the odds were clearly against them…

Still, as soon as Neo Zetan fleet began to advance, Jurai Battleships opened a gap in their formation, allowing destroyers and light cruisers to advance forward. And as soon as the enemy was in firing range, Jurai Battleships immediately opened fire from all their 150 HPCs, grouping them by 15 for Cruisers and 20 for Battlecruisers. (OOC: 15 HPCs is more then enough to bring down something with size, armor and armor of Imperial-Class Star Destroyer; so unless our calculations are wrong, each volley should be enough to destroy the ship at which is it aimed. Those that survive will receive more HPC fire in a few seconds.) Even as they kept shooting, Jurai Battleships began to move forward. And as soon as Jurai Battleships got closer to Neo Zetan fleet, they will immediately began firing their less powerful, but far more numerous standard Juraian Proton Cannons; this time, the fire was mostly aimed at smaller ships, like frigates and starfighters, while HPCs continued to take its toll on enemy’s larger vessels.

Meanwhile, destroyers began releasing numerous starfighters, totally 300 of them. Afterwards, both destroyers and starfighters followed Jurai Battleships into battle; starfighters keeping under cover of large ships, and destroyers already beginning with an attack of their own – 8 frontal heavy fusion beams, about as powerful as standard Juraian Proton Cannons, but with greater range of fire.

Light cruisers kept farther behind, each adding 2 more heavy fusion beams to the battle. In addition to them, light cruisers began firing numerous missiles at Neo Zetan fleet, firing totally 105 missiles every few seconds.

At the same time, the small spiked balls that lined at some distance from Juraian fleet proceeded with attack of their own: small spike-like missiles that opened like a flower when they were close to their target, only except for flower another spiked ball opened on top of them. The missiles explode upon the impact, their explosions are half as much again as powerful as direct shots from HPCs. Totally 576 of such missiles are released upon Neo Zetan fleet every few seconds.

And within first minutes of battle, 15 Jurai Battleships and 5 destroyers were brought down by combined fire of Neo Zetan and Chronosian forces.

At the same time, Juraian troopers also fought within their Battleships again Chonosian troops that teleported into their vessels. But while staff-wielding Juraian troopers were a poor match against Chaos Marines and Daemons of Khorne, excellent training, numbers and battleships’ security systems allowed Juraians to keep enemies at bay, even if at great personal cost. It looks like Jurai Battleships will quicker go down under enemy fire then get captured.

The first few moments of battle were rough as Jurain fire took its toll destroying 19 cruisers and 5 Battlecruisers.

The Fighters luanched to engage enemy fighters they were droids. 600 in all were luanched.

The Disrupter and Diminsonal Cannons fired at the closeing Jurai force.Their close range cannons and missles were ready for close range capital ship combat which Neo Zeta was very good at. Also they would be used on fighters who strayed into their ranks. Sensui smiles as he stands of the bridge of his Command Ship whatching the battle go on. " Only a matter of time untell they give in"

The Battleships then luanched another volly of mines. They were slow and bulky. Howeved they had fold drive. As soon as they luanched all 80 folded into close range to the enemyships only feet from the hull they would then slam into the target. Even shooting them at this close range would cuase damage

OOC: I dont have but 200 total of those mines in my fleet so now i have 120

== Aboard the USS Gaetan ==

"Helm, Report."

"ETA Is 27 minutes at current speed, Juraian fleet also signals ready to drop from TAC equivalent speed."

"Good, tell the rest of this little task force that things will be getting a little hairy in the next hour but to hang close and take the heat."

"Aye sir"

The twenty heavy battleships of the Urcan Navy cruised through TAC space silently, their sleek hulls looking like they were piercing stellar waves as a speedboat would on the sea.

Although these twenty ships were immeasurably strong, the odds were not in their favour. Not at all, but they would fight as was the way of the Urcan people in times of adversity. Since his earliest days Admiral Davidson had been told that honour and courage were of utmost importance in a good man and more importantly a good commander, as were knoledge and tenacity. As it was he would refuse to go down easily. In fact he would refuse to go down at all.

Admiral Davidson to fleet. When we drop in on this little fracas things are going to be tough but remember who we are and why we are fighting. You know what thr stakes are. Davidson out.

TPJ, there will be a TG incoming. You WILL do my donation proud.

OOC:

TPJ, there will be a TG incoming. You WILL do my donation proud.

Understood, I’ll be waiting for your telegram. Oh, and thank you for your help!

IC:

Somewhere…

Rear Admiral Haruto was tapping his foot impatiently as 1st Jurai Strike Force made its way through space; they had a long way to go from Jurai system, but still, he expected to arrive sooner. Jurai’s other forces were likely there by now, already fighting for their Empire…

“Almost there,” Haruto muttered, checking the screens, then issuing the orders to his fleet,
All ships, prepare to drop speed. And try to shield Urcan ships from enemy fire. Make no mistake, our first duty is to destroy the enemy, but Empress also wishes for her allies to survive this battle as unharmed as possible.

Meanwhile, in Tier system

It so happened that close-quarter combat was Juraians’ specialty as well, and their smaller force was prepared to give as much as, it received if not more…

Jurai Battleships now added 1400 proton cannons to their HPC fire, and destroyers also began fire multiple fusion beams. Light cruisers suddenly rushed forward through formation towards the enemy, taking the majority of enemy fire, but responding with their 10 heavy fusion beams and numerous standard fusion beams, as well as the last volley of 105 missiles. They were destroyed almost immediately, but succeeded in shielding the rest of the fleet from enemy fire, if but for a short while. But despite their sacrifice, five more Jurai Battleships and two more destroyers went down. Juraians’ losses didn’t stop at this either, for the next moment numerous mines materialized in closes proximity to Jurai Battleships, bringing four of them down and seriously damaging four more.

Meanwhile, starfighters also rushed forward to engage enemy starfighters, and if not destroy them, then at least to keep them away from destroyers and battleships for a while… (OOC: Neo Zeta, let’s describe our starfighters in OOC thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447434&page=4) so that we could better determine our losses.)

Meanwhile, the other defenses, namely small spiked balls, continued to release numerous missiles (576 per every few seconds) at Neo Zetan fleet; it seemed that their ammunition was almost infinite (which is, actually, the case: these small spiked balls are essentially living plans fused with mechanisms/armored shell, and they are capable of swiftly re-growing their missiles, thus continuing to attack until they are destroyed.)

But as Neo Zetan fleet continued to close up to smaller Juraian fleet, ready to finish it off in a few minutes, a much large force suddenly appeared at close range directly behind Neo Zetan fleet. This force consist of:
1 Unidentified spaceship of Juraian design (2nd generation Space Tree (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Space_Tree), 350 meters long, 3 Light Hawk Wings/power of 3 Death Stars)
560 Jurai Battleships (standard-issue, 450 meters long)
150 Cortosian Cruisers (350 meters long)
450 Cortosian Frigates (100 meters long)
Formation notes:
Space Tree is proudly in the front, on the level with Neo Zetan fleet.
Jurai Battleships are positioned in two lines: one on the level with Neo Zetan fleet, the other slightly ahead and above the other.
Cortosian forces are positioned into separated line on the level with Neo Zetan fleet: Cruisers in the center, Frigates on the sides.

Before Neo Zetan fleet could even acknowledge the arrival of a new threat, let alone react to it, two wide beams that appeared to be made of pure light cut through Neo Zetan fleet destroying anything in its wake. (OOC: these are Light Hawk Wings, each carries the same destructive power as Death Star’s beam. Considering that you don’t have anything of the size of Super Star Destroyer, it is unlikely that any of your ships will have a shield powerful enough to halt the beams, and thus they will cut through your entire fleet before dissipating. Then again, in the end, it is up you to determine what your losses are.)

And at the same time when Light Hawk Wings were fired, the newly-arrived Juraian fleet began fire: 1680 HPCs and 22400 standard proton cannons fired at once at unsuspicious Neo Zetan ships. Cortosian fleet didn’t hesitated either, Cruisers immediately proceeded to release a swarm of 5250 Mercurite Missiles (very fast and very powerful), after which both Cruisers and Frigates began fire their energy weapons: 750 HPCs and 7500 standard proton cannons. While of different design, Cortosian ships seemed to be equipped with some of the best technologies Jurai Empire had to offer.

Even as the newly-arrived Juraian and Cortosian fleets unleashed all they had at Neo Zetan fleet, a third beam of light appeared from within Juraian flagship’s hull. But instead of launching at the enemy, it circled around Juraian flagship, quickly transforming into semi-transparent shield of light that engulfed Juraian flagship in its protective shell.

The Neo Zetan fleet took heavy loses from the light hawk wings. 35 ships in all and 40 fighters.

The Fighters engaged Jurais fighters and would try to hold them off. The Neo Zetan fleet changed target seeing the flagship is where the Light Hawk wings were 30 Battleships turned and tired their Diminsonal Cannons togather to perice the shield of that ship. (OOC: That would be enough to destroy a city on a planet.)

The Fleet atlast entered close range and opened fire with their rapid fire close range laser cannons as well as mine.

Meanwhile the The Reserve fleet readyed to strike as they enter warp at the time ordered their commander reads their orders at last.

" We are to strike at Jurai it self. The Omega Star is 60% done its shield is online so it will be joining us. Our goal is force them to the table. The New Praetor is trying to force the military to stop this war. That damn brat."

The Fleet was made up for only 500 ships but had its flag ship Axis a Eclipse Class SSD the last built of the SSD line. Their ETA untell the fleet and The Omega Star arrive at Jurai is one hour with fold.

OOC: The Omega Star is a Sized down Deathstar however it uses the Armor the Suncrusher used which chould take a hit from the Deathstars main weapon which it has. Also can fire the weapon the Sun Crusher uses to cuase a Sun to go Supernova. They will destroy a city or somthing first to try and force you to enter peace talks.

Suncrusher Armor cost a bundle to make, that's why the durned thing was so small. Trying to make a Death Star outfitted with that armor would not only bankrupt you from several different angles, but could also be considered a GodMod, since the durn stuff is nigh-invincible.

Besides, if thread info serves right, you ICly started building the thing DURING this engagement.

Edited to add, oh yeah, forgot this had an OOC thread... posting it there too!

OOC: Oh yeah forgot that been awhile since i looked at the thread i wont use it in this thread. And i will use that armor ok. You use alot of stuff me and my allies see as god modding or border line at the very least too such as not posting loses and useing alot of semi uber weapons. But this is not the time to argue about it. I will let the damn thing be damaged when do use it. Also i would rather you NOT get in this thread seeing as he has 3 to 4 allies already and my 2 dont seem to wanna post. So for now this thread is closed to other nations.

OOC: Horseshit. No you won't.

I took my losses, you just don't notice because I don't post exact numerical figures in the damage estimates. I don't do like some RPers and leave the bottom paragraph of each post as "LOSSES: Blah x 20, Blee x5, Yakkitty x12" and so forth, but I do take my share of dents and bruises. Can I help it if I RP the Godulans as hellbent on annihilating the enemy with little to no concern for their own well-being, specifically because they know exactly where they're going? Hell, that's how Chronosia works. I tweaked it a bit and made a version of my own.

My technology is legitimate. My weapons, legitimate. I told you exactly what I was going in with, where I was, what I was doing, how I was doing it, and everything BUT numerical issues. I use my tactics, I use my weapons, I always have something new. Just pay attention to my research threads and you'll see exactly what you've been going up against and may well face in the future.

FURTHER, your primary reaction to my attacks was to pull the equivalent of a 'Tink'. And your Death Star Covered With Super Hyper Mega Ultra Invincible Armor of UB3RN3$$ is a REASONABLE counter?

That screams godmod on several different levels, so I shall reiterate:

The fact that its a Death Star should be enough. You don't NEED that armor. And any reputable RPer would be insane to allow that level of fortification anywhere near anything. Can you honestly imagine the monetary and economic damage the loss of that thing would cause?

The main issue we're having here, is that you seem to be annoyed because I bring forth these mine swarms and other weapons of mass destruction seemingly out of thin air. Keep in mind, everything I throw out is clearly detailed in my research threads. The Heighliner project itself was about a month's time of development and construction, granted it had the 'top secret project' tag, but ya only needed to ask about it. I really do put it all out there. I don't tell you that my technology is superior simply by virtue of its existence. I tell you exactly how it works and how it will damage you. I tell you exactly how my shields work and why they reduce damage. I tell you exactly how my engines, power systems, sensors, and comms work. indeed I can describe in surprising detail almost every facet of the ships I create. The only thing is, nobody ever pays attention.

That's the worst mistake anybody can make against me. Chronosia learned that the hard way.

Oh, and by the way, the Kythons are going to be under TPJ's control. I'm not actually entering.

Edited: Anyway, enough with arguing and challenges in this thread. Let further comments be addressed in the OOC thread, as I don't want this thing to get cluttered up further with my long-windedness.

Let's take OOC comments to OOC thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447434&page=4) thread, ok? It was made especially for this purpose. I will quote your recent posts into OOC thread. Oh, and my (likely last for this week) IC post will be coming later.

OOC:

The way I understood your post, Neo Zeta, you turned your entire fleet to face my newly arrived fleet, leaving the battled garrison fleet alone.

The Neo Zetan fleet took heavy loses from the light hawk wings. 35 ships in all and 40 fighters

Just wondering, is that the damage from Light Hawk Wings alone, or all my attacks? I would rather expect the first, because aside from Light Hawk Wings, you fleet is currently under fire of:
1) My newly arrived fleet; check my post above to see how much they are throwing at you.
2) My battled garrison fleet still has something to offer: likewise, check my post above to see how much they are throwing at you.
3) Blackthorns (that’s how I call those small missile-launching spiked balls) never stopped with their attack: 576 missiles per every few seconds – they’re all yours! *wink*

30 Battleships turned and tired their Diminsonal Cannons togather to perice the shield of that ship. (OOC: That would be enough to destroy a city on a planet.)

Sorry, not quite enough. As I said, a single Light Hawk Wing (and the one is currently used as a shield for Kotori, Lord Kazuki’s spaceship) has a power of a Death Star, therefore, you will need an equal amount of power (i.e. enough power to cut through a planet and destroy its core) to suppress Light Hawk Shield.

IC:

To Neo Zetans’ likely surprise, their Dimension Cannons, managed only weaken the Jurai flagship’s shield, not penetrate it.

“Such a typical mistake…” Lord Kazuki muttered, with a sad smile playing upon his lips; the enemy acted just at he expected, yet he took no pleasure at death and destruction he and his fleet caused. “They rely too much on their size and numbers, and thus they cannon help underestimating Jurai’s Power… Kotori, will hold?”

”Yes…” a soft voice came, a touch weaker then before; with most of her power used for offense, keeping defensive shield up wasn’t easy for her.

It took Lord Kazuki but a moment to make a decision; he did his duty by shielding the rest of his fleet from the worst the enemy had to offer, he could not afford to get himself and Kotori killed. Opening communication channel, he quickly issued new orders to his fleet…

…And Juraian and Cortosian ships advanced forward, past Kotori, making it all but impossible for Neo Zetan fleet to aim at her. Needless to say, Juraian and Cortosian ships, first concentrating it on those 30 Battleships that attacked Kotori, and once they were destroyed, switching their fire on other Neo Zetan ships. Almost 30000 (29900, to be more precise) standard proton cannons continued non-stop fire, and 2430 HPCs added their power to them every few seconds. As if this weren’t enough, Cortosian Cruisers released another swarm of 5250 Mercurite Missiles.

But despite the facts that they caught enemy by surprise and that Kotori took much of their first fire, they now beginning to take losses as well: about a dozen Frigates, and a few Cruisers and Battleships went down as the enemy began to return fire. Still, these losses were likely far less then those they were inflicting upon the enemy; the newly-arrived Juraian fleet clearly had tactical advantage over their enemy, and they didn’t hesitate to press it.

Meanwhile, Jurai’s other forces continued to fight as well. Tierian starfighters opened the combat with their Neo Zetan counterparts by firing their mass drivers, after which the proceeded with come though Neo Zetan starfighter formation in a wave, losing 30 of their number. As soon as they made it thought Neo Zetan starfighter formation, though, Tierian starfighters immediately executed a U-turn (180-degree turn) attacking Neo Zetan starfighters anew.

And at another Juraian flagship’s bridge, so different from that of Kotori…
Captain Cali breathed out a sigh of relief as the enemy fleet began turning away from her battled fleet to face new and much greater threat. She was ready to sacrifice herself for her Empire if it would be necessary, yet she was glad that such necessity didn’t arise. Still, Neo Zetan fleet wasn’t the only of her concerns.
“How is the combat going?” She asked.
“Not very well,” one of lieutenants replied frankly, “Our soldiers are currently holding those mutants and their demons at bay, but unless we get reinforcements, it is only a matter of time before they overcome us. The other ships report the same situation.”
Cali’s face darkened, with other Juraian ships being busy fighting Neo Zetans, this left her with only one choice…
“Prepare all ships for self-destruct.” Captain Cali ordered, “As soon as the enemy will get anywhere near the bridge, I want the crew evacuated and the ship self-destroyed at a moment's notice. We have enough problems without enemy getting hold of our ships. But while we are still holding them at bay… Let’s show those bloodthirsty bastards that we are not done yet!”

And the battled Juraian garrison fleet continued to fire at Neo Zetan fleet, which now made a mistake of completely turning away from them. 105 HPCs and 1400 standard proton cannons continued to fire at Neo Zetan fleet, which was now pressed from two sides. And Blackthorns, those small missile-launching spiked balls, never stopped with their attack and continued to fire 576 Blackthorn-class missiles against Neo Zetan every few seconds.

P.S. (OOC)

That’s it, people, most likely I won’t be able to post again until the next week, as I am planning to take minor surgery tomorrow (unless something unexpected happens and I will be forced to put it off). So, I would appreciate it if we put this game “on half” for the time being, since it concerns my nation first and foremost (although Urcan is welcome to make his next post, it is about time his forces and my 1st Jurai Strike Force arrive, I believe).

The reserve fleet changed its course heading to reinforce the main fleets seeing the attack getting held up and do to the light hawk wings. The Eclipse should be able to take care of. Ships were being pulled away from aiding the Abh agianst the Shadow to deal with Jurai.

About 50 more ships were lose but do to them being in close range to Jurai ships they took many with them as the attack kept up. More fighters came out to aid in close range combat some ramming Jurai ships. Mines were fired at close range to destroy the Jurai battleships.

As the back up fleet arrived they got word from Sensui

Take out the damn ships useing the super weapon.

The 500 ships poored into battle with the Jurai Fleet from the rear fireing all weapons and luanching 1,000 fighters many from the Eclipse.

Howeved the Eclipse was moveing into postion to fire at the Light Hawk wings. It entered the Jurai formation with 60 ships.

The capitan turned to his chief of operations " Power level?"

She looked at the screen " 40% charged about 8 mintues tell ready to fire."

The Eclipse shields were at full and its weapons blazed fireing mines and long range weapons at The Jurai Flagship. Its short ranged weapons didnt fire. They were dareing some fighters or small ships to come in close and meet their maker.

More ships were lost but Jurai was takeing loses as well.

OOC:The Eclipse is more then able to take on a Death Star. Its not is big but you said a SSD shields could prob hold. And seeing is this is larger and more powerful then a SSD it will be a match for the Light Hawk wings.

IC: Meanwhile the New Praetor sent a message to the Jurai capitalI have been elected by the people to bring change. They want this foolish war to end. We ask you enter talks with us to end the war our terms are you become our allie and allow trade to begian. This war is a foolish left over from the past regiam. Tho the Empress is for this war i have talked her into allowing these talks

OOC:

Sorry for a little prolonged absence, everyone. Everything went a little worse then I had thought, and moreover, I currently don’t have Internet access in my workplace. Fortunately, I have finally arranged to get Internet access at home, though it is quite slow and costly, and therefore, I won’t be able to access Internet often these days. Sorry about that, but there is nothing I can do about it. Oh well, anyway…

IC:

The battle was going very well for Juraians. Over twenty Juraian and Cortosian vessels went down under Neo Zetan fire, but thanks to their effective disposition, Juraian forces were taking much greater toll on their enemies. The fighters that dared to approach Jurai Battleships didn’t make much of a difference: the fire was so thick that most of them were brought down by indirect fire, and those that weren’t were shot down before they could do any significant damage, let alone ram Juraian vessels.

From his bridge, Lord Kazuki observed the battle with calm sadness; the result seemed to be all but predetermined, yet many lives will be lost before the enemy will realize the futility of their actions and choose to retreat. And very soon he’ll have to take active part in battle once more; for all their power, Light Hawk Wings took a significant amount of time to recharge, but it was almost the time…

But then another fleet suddenly made an appearance, immediately proceeding to attack Juraian fleet from behind. With Juraians caught by surprise over a dozen battleships went down before Juraian captains could response to a new threat. And to make matters worse, an enormous spaceship was sighted in the lead, moving directly against Lord Kazuki’s ship. One person, however, reacted quicker then the most.

Cortosian flagship “Viola”; the bridge

“Quickly, rotate the fleet!” An alien-looking woman shouted as she jumped off her chair. “Frigates will lead the way! Your first priority is to protect Lord Kazuki! Concentrate fire on smaller ships, don’t touch the big one!”

Meanwhile…

Lord Kazuki’s ship gracefully glided sideward in attempt to invade Eclipse’s fire. But with so many weapons aimed against it, even the most skillful piloting couldn’t help to avoid the fire completely. The Light Hawk Shield grew noticeably grew weaker as multiple beams struck it. At one place a beam even managed to penetrate Light Hawk Shield, slashing along the ship’s side, though without causing any structural damage.

Before more damage was done, Cortosian Frigates fully turned and boldly rushed to Lord Kazuki’s ship, shielding it from enemy fire. Around thirty frigates quickly went down under the fire from Eclipse and other Neo Zetan ships, but they still didn’t falter, concentrating their fire on fighters and other small Neo Zetan ships, though an accidental shot would strike Eclipse’s shields every now and then. Cortosian Cruisers soon joined the frigates, adding their cannons and missiles to battle, though Cortosian forces still appeared to be outmatched in the face of Eclipse and other large Neo Zetan ships. Meanwhile, Jurai Battleships proceeded to combat the main Neo Zetan fleet; while they won’t do so well without Cortosians’ support, they were still attacking the main Neo Zetan fleet from three angles and should be able to cause as much damage as they receive.

Meanwhile…

Sub-Space transmission to Neo Zeta’s capital:
With all due respect, we weren’t the ones to start this war, and we are more then willing to bring it to an end. With most Republican nations showing no interest in aiding us, we would certainly welcome peace, and perhaps even alliance with Neo Zeta. However, before we open negotiations, we ask you to withdraw your forces from Jurai’s territory; people are dying even as we speak, and we believe that more then enough blood has spilled between our nations.

The Neo Zetan fleet took some more loses but with their forces now divided Jurai was now in a weak spot. The Neo Zetan fleet that had first struck moved deep into the Jurain forces fireing all weapons staying togather to aid each other.

The secound force sturck at the Cortosian ships with all their fire power some even ramming them. The Eclipse opened fire with its short range weapons targeting any and all vessles in range. While it kept fireing its main cannon at the Jurai Flag ship.

Sensui smiled " They will have to surrender soon."

Meanwhile another subspace message was sent We can not order our fleets to cease fire untell your fleet surrenders or retreats. Only the Fuhrer King Bradley can order them to leave at this point. I do not have that power.

TPJ, remember my donation... they should be getting there at SOME point...

Jurai System, Coreworlds, Outer Rim

It was an odd coincidence that two nations should have the same name for their capital planets. Perhaps once many centuries ago, the two nations were one, but long ago split up. Perhaps it was just nothing. But when the Force tells you that a nation is in need of your aid, you could hardly ignore it.

Such was the position the Patriarch Alexander Masaki was placed in. However, considering that his grandsons and best operatives are over at the nation of the Abh helping to take down ex-Neo Zetan enemies, they won't be available to deal with reports from the Godulans that Chronosian and Neo Zetan enemies have teamed up to strike at yet another innocent nation. And young Travis isn't ready to lead a strike team anywhere, much less an entire fleet. However, all was not lost...for there are alternatives to fighting.

A blur of red, black and pink appeared in his stateroom. "Master Masaki." A sweet yet tough voice sounded, like that of cherry blossoms with thorns.

"Jounin Haruno. I have a diplomatic mission for you. C+ level. We have interests with Neo Zeta. However, reports of it engaging in conflict with a nation we're also interested has us concerned that said nation will be harmed before we send them the olive branch. I would like you to assemble a diplomatic team to go to Neo Zeta and persuade them to back off the conflict with the Juraians."

"The Juraians?" Sakura asked, surprised. "They were supposed to be a myth or something."

"Evidently, they appeared on the galactic scene some time ago, and we didn't notice before. I, myself will be opening political channels with the Galactic Federation to pry them away from that route. Your shuttle will be ready within the hour."

"Yes, Master." Sakura bowed and with a swish of her cloak, she was gone to get ready.

Let's hope this works... Alex sighed.

----

An hour later...

Haruno Sakura and her diplomatic team took off in the Republic Diplomatic Cruiser and jumped into hyperspace for Neo Zeta.

The Neo Zetan High Command got word of a Coreworld diplomatic team heading there way. The goverment view had shifted the expansion plans were no longer top priority. The only thing keeping the war going was pride on both sides. The terms were a easy one to accept. Howeved neither side wanted to be the one to "withdraw" Pride the greatist weakness of mankind and most races was at work here. Tho is Coreworlds either offered Neo Zeta somthing or on the other end threatened them then little could be done but to accept.

OOC:

TPJ, remember my donation... they should be getting there at SOME point...

Don’t worry, Godular, my fleet from Vrone’s former system is on the way, along with your "donation". Though I have some hope that situation will be resolved peacefully by the time it arrives. Anyway I guess 1st Jurai Strike Force will make an appearance now; I originally wanted them to arrive alongside with Urcan’s forces, but Urcan delayed with coming for long enough (no offense meant, Urcan, but I need some reinforcements here and now).

Oh, and Neo Zeta, you cannot very well target Lord Kazuki’s ship at the moment; it is completely hidden behind Cortosian forces.

Without further ado…

IC:

Juraian space, nearby Tier system

Not the most patient of men, Rear Admiral Haruto was now pacing around the bridge, waiting for some kind of signal from Urcan. There was none.

“What’s wrong with them?” He muttered aloud angrily, “We are already there, so why wait now? Others are dying while we sit there doing nothing!”

“Sir, we are receiving a Sub-Space communication from Tier system!” One of lieutenants called.

Rear Admiral Haruto quickly read the message. His face brightened.

“Alright, transmit the exit coordinates to all ships!” He ordered, “All ships, full speed to Tier system! And sand the following message to Urcan’s forces…

Message to Urcan’s forces:
Sorry, we are not able to wait for you any longer. If you will eventually choose to join battle, try to join with our fleet on the battlefield. In either case, may Tsunami be with you.

Meanwhile, in Tier system

As Juraian and Neo Zetan main fleets came into point blank range, Jurai Battleships suddenly stopped their advance and began to float directly upwards, intending to position themselves directly above Neo Zetan main fleet. Needless to say, Jurai Battleships continued to fire from all their available weapons, giving as much damage as they received, if not more. It also helped that other Juraian forces continued to fire at Neo Zetan main fleet from the rear.

Cortosian fleet that kept their position between Lord Kazuki’s ship and second Neo Zetan fleet weren’t doing so well, on the other hand, and their losses were noticeably heavier. But they were still doing their share of damage to second Neo Zetan fleet.

“They are not withdrawing.” Lord Kazuki muttered to himself. “Very well, so be it.”

Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light among Juraian and Cortosian forces. And the next moment, three short beams of light appeared somewhat behind the second Neo Zetan fleet, with the familiar shape of Lord Kazuki’s ship forming in their middle. One of these beams immediately fired at the rear of Eclipse (OOC: power of a Death Star… considering Eclipse’s size, shields and armor, it probably won’t be enough to destroy it, but will likely cause some more or less serious damage), though it aimed to cut through as many Neo Zetan ships as possible before hitting its target. The other two beams engulfed Lord Kazuki’s ship, forming a renewed Light Hawk Shield around it, now even stronger then before (OOC: before I used one Light Hawk Wing for defense, currently I am using two; each of them can be shifted into offense at any moment, but doing so will weaken Light Hawk Shield).

And almost immediately after, before Neo Zetan captains realized that enemy flagship changed its position, a fleet of hundred Jurai Battleships appeared around Lord Kazuki’s ship and immediately began firing at the rear of second Neo Zetan fleet… (OOC: 300 HPCs and 4000 ordinary proton cannons, they are all yours!) …Once again catching Neo Zetan fleet between two fires.

Meanwhile…

Sub-Space transmission to Neo Zeta’s capital
We are sorry to inform you that the planet Tier 2 is under Jurai’s protection; we cannot withdraw our forces from there and leave the planet to your and Chronosians’ mercy without breaking our promise of protection to planetar government. And Jurai never breaks its promises. With all due respect, you were the ones who began this war, and we hope you understand that if peace is to be reached, you are the ones who will have to make the first step in that direction.

Sakura and the team reverted to realspace over the orbit of Neo Zeta's capital and descended, hoping that Master Masaki's plan for winning over the government to stopper the war would work...

The Eclipse takes modert damage to its aft section with the Jurai move to attempt and fire at Neo Zeta from above sensui returns the favor. With in a moment the entire Neo Zetan force folds. They fold in 10,000 metters above all Jurain forces with their main weapons targeting down they open fire on the Jurain fleet. The Eclipse fires its main cannon this time powered by two of the 4 Zohar reactors. Trying to get threw the enemy formation to hit the enemy flag ship. But this formation didnt last long as The fleet folded agian and this time appeared 10,000 metters bellow the Jurian fleet and fired agian.

Meanwhile as the Coreworlds deplomatic team arrived. They would be greated by julite Dougless The Fuhrer King Bradleys secrtary and voice for this meeting.

Sakura and her three team members descended upon the landing pad and disembarked the shuttle. They spotted a woman who appeared to be the escorter.

"Hello. We're the delegation from Coreworlds." Sakura smiled.

Julite Dougless smiles " Hello i am Julite Dougless secretary for the Fuhrer. I will be his voice in these talks. Please follow me"

She lead them into a large building and borded the elvator. It was one covered with glass as to see the outside and the glory of Bevelle. The elvator took them to the 90th floor of the High Command Building where they would use the meeting room.

Sakura gawked approvingly at the majesty of Bevelle as the delagation followed Julite to the meeting room.

Julite walked to the head of the table and sat down after her guest.

" I assume you are here to try and end the War with Jurai? We have been trying to but they seem unwilling to give in at this point. And we most certainly will not give in seeing as even if this fleet was destroyed we chould throw another at them. We will not gain nothing from the blood spilt. This war may have been a error and sin of the former goverment but to many have been lost now to just forget about it."

"It is in the interests of both our governments that we suggest a cease-fire in the war. You say too much blood has been spilt to stop now. We say too much blood has been spilt to continue. We have heard the cries of the innocent and we can say 'no more' to further death and destruction. Our government implores you to simply do the right thing in this terrible tragedy." Sakura laid out the position of the Patriarch's administration.

" Our people wouldnt accept a cease-fire. We feel that if we gain nothing from this war all the deaths are in vain and a slap in the face to those who died. We wont stop untell we gain somthing from this war."

"Very well." Sakura nodded, and an aide gave her a small hologram generator. She turned it on, revealing three different planetary systems. "We are prepared to give back these three systems in exchange for cease-fire or peace. Our alchemists have a binding law, called 'Equivalent Exchange'. Would this be considered an 'equivalent exchange', as they say?"

Julite looked over the systems " hmmmm yes i think that will do very nicely. In exchange for those we will make peace with Jurai."

She snaped her fingers and and Aid next to her nodded and headed to The Jurai Front Command Room to inform them of the offer.

The aides immediately opened laptops and typed away, sending notice to Jurai that Neo Zeta has accepted the terms. The notice was sent straight up to the Patriarch himself.

On the desk of the Patriarch were two papers, prepared for the event of both success and failure. He gladly tore up the paper defined for failure, and signed his full name and title on the other paper, legally disowning the three systems to the chagrin of some residents. Next, he ordered all military units, which amounts to a couple of garrisons and some ships, to withdraw from the systems. Coreworlds soon no longer had a presence in the systems.

And as for the delegation...

Sensui was about to order another fold and attack from the rear when he got word of the deal made with Coreworlds. He sighed he was just starting to have fun with Jurai. He sighed as he ordered all ships to cease fire and sent a message to Jurai

Seems your gods came threw for you. We have been offered terrtory to cease this war. So we will withdraw our forces.

"I believe our job here is done. I shall take my leave." Sakura bowed to Julite as her aides rose. "I am glad we have come in time to prevent further bloodshed."

Julite rose and slightly bowed " Yes let us hope peace will last us for some time this time."

"Will someone escort us to the surface, please?" Sakura smiled. "We're not sure where to go."

Julite smiles "ofcourse" She lead them threw the hallways and down a elvator. As they walked threw the main door way Lust Passed by on her way into the building. She glanced over at the Coreworlds Diplomate then went on her way.

"Thank you." Sakura followed the spokesperson of Neo Zeta. She took a glance at a raven-haired pale woman that passed by her. Something's weird about her, but I can't quite place it...

She and her aides stepped into the elevator.

Julite lead the diplomates back to the landing pad. " If you wish you can stay for awhile on Bevelle but you sadly wont get to see it at its full glory since the war has drained many people on and forced them to fight."

"That's fine. We're going now." Sakura said, and without another word, she and the aides boarded their shuttle and lifted off.

Moments later...

"Where to, ma'am? Home?" The pilot asked.

"Hmm. No. I think we'd need to pay a visit to the other Jurai." Sakura said. "Make the jump."

"Yes ma'am."

And so, the little shuttle jumped into hyperspace.

OOC:

Neo Zeta, since I wasn’t able to reply your last combat post before the fire ceased, I will role-play the last moments of combat now.

IC:

Juraians were surprised by Neo Zetans’ first folding maneuver, but still reacted fast enough to open fire before Neo Zetan fleet folded again. The fire mostly consisted of HPCs, apparently, relatively few of Juraianas’ normal proton cannons were positioned to fire directly above. As Neo Zetan fleet folded again, Juraians were quicker to react now, when they knew what to expect. This time Juraians’ fire consisted of normal proton cannons alone; but the lack of HPCs was compensated by the fact that Juraians could fire all their normal proton cannons while Neo Zetan fleet was bellow them. But needless to say, Juraian fleet was taking some heavy casualties as well, and around thirty battleships went down under Neo Zetan fire.

Meanwhile at the other end of the battlefield, Jurai Battleships drifted away from Lord Kazuki’s ship to avoid being hit by Eclipse’s main cannon. Kotori’s Light Hawk Shield held against the power of Eclipse’s main cannon, though it grew noticeably weaker.

Juraians were in process of regrouping their fleets into one while continuing to fire at Neo Zetan force, when Neo Zetans suddenly ceased fire. Within a few moments, Juraian ships also ceased fire, and the following message was transmitted to Neo Zeta’s flagship:
Very well. Let’s hope that next contact between our nations will be more peaceful.

P.S. - OOC

CoreWorlds, shall we role-play Sakura’s arrival to the Planet Jurai in a separated thread?

OOC: Yeah. Let's do the meeting in a new thread.

OOC: Yeah. Let's do the meeting in a new thread.

OOC: So I guess CT isn't responding....Hm; guess that ends my involvement in things; and brings a gentle, simmering ending to the Republic Wars :D

OOC: All thanks to me! :D
Hell Yeah! I'm good! *Dances*
