Emperor Nick Hunter's Gaia class Yacht flew on a direct interecpt course to the ENV Valorous.
"Sir, ETA in one minute." Corporal Daniels said as he narrowed his flight descent to level out on his way onto the aft docking port of the behemoth ship. Across the way the pilots eyes glazed over with fear. 10 Poodamian Battleships. Three of them battlestars, were aligning across the way above their mutual planet of Nepenyoka.
"Relax corporal, its just a game."
"Sir its still scary. I know were allies but what if they turned on us?"
"Corporal, there is no one person on this planet AND on earth that I trust more than Leigh Nildran. This man will stand by my side on all accounts." at that second there was a thud as the docking clamps engaged and the gaia was docked securely in the bay.
"Thank you for the ride coporal."
Walking briskly out the door and into the docking bay, Nick looked around. red lights shone on all angles.
He fumbled his hand into his pocket and removed his PalmOne Visual Communicator.
"Emperor Hunter to the command deck."
"Command Deck."
"Shift to Omega Alert and switch over to battle simulation mode. Change the pulses over to flashes of light. Rig the sensor array to register flashes as hits."
He headed to the lift where he said:
"Captains stateroom." and the lift began to spin and the door slid open to reveal the stainless steel corridor. Turning to his quarters his fingerprints opened the door. then he went in and changed into his uniform. Then proceeding up to the command deck, he looked out the giant viewing window and saw his fleet assembling in order with the 8 Arians and the 2 Pisces. (OOC: THIS IS STEALTHY!!) He hoped Leigh woudn't notice the loss of one of Nick's ships.
"Commander Hutchinson. Execute plan omega."
"Aye Sir." the commander said.
Across the fleet the ENV Darwin activated their cloak. They began a max thrust burst over towards the Battlestar; Aurora. Disabling their cloak only a few meters from the door, alarms went off.Taking aim with they specially modified pulse cannon (1x) they flashed light at the doors till the poodamians had to open. They slipped in the starboard flight pod.
"Sir! Their proximity alarms are online! The front hatch is closing!!" the conn officer said from his post behind the commander. She nodded and opened their cargo loads, out dropped a light generator. Had this been real, it would have been a nuclear bomb. Opening fire on the second set of doors, the Poodamians were obligated to open it. Then Engaging at max thrust burst the Darwin blasted out of the flight pod and engaged their cloak.

Back on the Valorous...

Nick Hunter chuckled quietly to himself as he watched enough light flashes to register the flight pod's intergrity had been collapsed.
"The game has begun my old friend."

Leigh Nildran had been staying aboard the Battlestar Aurora for the last three days in preparation for the wargames with Nickotopolis, and it was now game time.
Leigh stepped out of his quarters, and made his way to the CIC with ease, having been acquainted with the ship's layout.
"Give me the count." He said as he stepped down to the charts table at CIC.
"Nick's assembled his fleet here at about 270*90 at 70 km, with his arians and 2 pisces" Said the chip's captain, Aiden Sobel, as he indicated a set of markings on the charts.
"Where's the last one?" Leigh was about to say but was interrupted by a voice from behind him.
"Proximity alert, main containment feild breach at 230*80, trajectory seemed to coincide with the starboard flight pod", said the voice.
"Simulate a containment feild in all exposed portions of the flight pod." Came the immediate response from Aiden.
"Sound collison in starboard frames" He continued to say.
The air tensed. 'What are you up to you-' He was cut off in mid thought by another utterance from the voice.
"Sensors pick up light energy contact in the starboard landing bay."
"Ok, register that as a hit. The containment feild will have softened the explosion for the most part. Simulate starboard tubes 15-25 disabled, and close off the landing bay for the next hour. Sync the database"

"Very well" said Nildran.
"Order ships to move into position, invert this ship so we have the starboard facing Nick."
The CIC erupted into a cacophony of orders and responses.

Meanwhile, in the blackness of space, the RSS. Orient cloaked itself and spaced itself a distance from the head Arion of Nick's fleet.
"Prepare for silent run" The ship's caption said.
"Open the receiver and get in contact with the Orion, we're gonna need it's computing power to decode this stuff. Be sure to bounce it off the orbiters."

Leigh had anticipated this. He knew Nick too well for his own good, acted ahead of time and ordered the orient into position to soak up any communications from the Arion. Unfortunately, he hadn't acted soon enough to prevent this surprise bomb move, but it assured it wouldn't happen again. From this point on, he'd hear evereything Nick had to say to his fleet, and he had no idea it was happening.
(OOC to make nick happy: There's two cloaked Ions hiding above the Orient)

"Launch the first wave" Said Leigh, as all three battlestars provided covering fire for the four Intrepids, as they began a barrage of simulated weapons fire on the Nickotopolean fleet. The battlestars launched their vipers, retrofitted to provide only simulation fire.

"And so it begins Nick. Your move" He said as light rained down on the opposing fleet.

Nick paced the command deck.
"Open fire on anything the moves out there."
At once the pulse cannons fired madly at every advancing viper. With every barrage a few fighters would voluntarily shut down signaling that they were destroyed. He paced, glancing out the window with every glance sighting another ship in the battle of light. His eyes flitted to attention.
"There!" He said pointing to a single intrepid class sitting among the battle.
"What are they doing?! They're powered up, but are just sitting there! Commander Rheemer, scan them. There at 250* mark 57."
She nodded and consulted her console.
"Sir theres nothing there." She answered with an odd tint on her voice.
"Yes there is look!" He pointed out the main window.
"Yeah, shes there, but isn't fighting and isn't there on sensors." Rheemer said while seeming puzzled.
A smile crawled its way across Nicks face. That crafty fool. he thought.
"That ship is cloaked. give me weapon control." So stepping to his console the weapons display showed up on it. He fliped over to manual aim and took aim at the cloaked ship. It swerved too quickly for Nick.
"One shot.. he thought...." Nick's aim wasn't very skilled, he was more of a target-lock kinda guy. Drawing a bead on the fleeing ship, he fired once, and missed. He almost had it. Another few seconds and he would retreat behind the line of Battlestars. Taking careful aim to match her course and speed, he fired. One hit and Rheemer screamed.
"Sir! she's visible!"
"Unload on her!!" The ships entire fire was directly onto them. The ship picked up speed and blasted over to the opposing fleet.
"Sir we're getting a distress call from the Darwin!" Corporal Pennington said.
"Whats going on?"
"Sir apparenty plan omega worked although not as we planned. His flight pod is only crippled, and the Darwin is under intense fire and can't hold out for much longer." Nick cursed.
"Contact the Endeavour. Tell them to move in in a full on assualt and tell him to focus all his weapons fire on the battlestars and to bring down the entire fleet of vipers and raptors.
"Pennington tell the fleet to begin formation phalanx."
He felt the deck shift as his ship moved into a formation with the other ships.
"You've done well, my friend." He said quietly to himself as his ship cloaked and then jumped forward as to lose the area of where his ship was.
"Very well..."

OOC: -ATTENTION-
Our reigon has just come under attack, forcing us to temporarily suspend this wargame. It will resume exactly where it was when this is resolved.

For you reference, Our reigon consists of new nations, especially the nation who's taking the hardest hit. Anyone who can help please come here:

EDIT:
Issue resolved.
RESUME THE MINDLESS KILLING!!!

"Sir they got us." came the 1MC com message from the Intrepid class Orient, who had been intercepting communications from the nickotopolean fleet, and was now being driven away.
A unanimous cheer went up in the CIC of the Battlestar Aurora.
"Alright, signal the fleet to begin the squeeze." Nildran said.

Leigh was counting on this. The Intrepids where more noticeable than the Ions. Nick would have seen it, and fired upon it, failing, in his panic, to notice the two cloaked Ion class ships hiding above the intrepid. As Orient came back to them, everey ship in Nick's fleet was trained on the lone Intrepid and the barrage of vipers from the battlestars, unawares as the two Ions proceeded to the back of the fleet, to begin the squeeze.

The battlestar Polaris Jumped right in back of the Nickotopolean fleet just as the two ions took up their positions on either side of it. Polaris let out all but 50 of it's vipers, and a wave of energy symbolizing megahurt Missiles. The particle cannons began their barrage as the two Ions opened fire. The Nickotopolean fleet was now surrounded on all sides. Heavy fire from front and back, with more fire coming from the vipers to the left and right. Vipers from the battlestar Aurora's semi-repaired starboard flight pod guarded above and below.
The Megahurt missiles managed to take hit one of the engines on two arians, and it looked as though another arian had severely damaged one of it's engines as well.
Meanwhile, back on the Orion, it's dedicated clustered jump calculator distributed prefabricated jump coordinates to everey ship in the fleet.....

Light flashed like a supernova as Leigh Nildran looked out into the frey. All was going as expected. All according to plan.

Flashes of fire and FTL jumps all rocketed around the remainder of the fleet as two ions and the Battlestar Polaris jumped behind the lines. The partical cannons went off in every direction damaging two arians.
Nick Hunter well aware that he was surrounded, opened a COM link and radioed to his entire fleet.
"All ships, execute plan zeta." He plotted his coordinates for the veretron wave, decloaked and then leaped to X-space. He looked out his viewing screen into nothing. He could see nothingness for all directions execpt for the seven ships that had jumped with him.
"Who did we leave behind?" He asked Huchinson.
"Well sir the Poodamians took out the Venture's verteron wave engines so they couldn't leap, the Darwin didn't make it, and the Halifax lost one of their generators and it wasn't safe to join." the officer reported.
"Okay are we secure?" He asked about the channel.
"Yes sir our transmissions are limited range but un-readable in X-space."
"Good tell the entire fleet, when we exit the x-space target all your fire on the, battlestars."
"Excellent plan sir." and Huchinson relayed the plan to all the others in the fleet.
"Sir contact from the Halifax, they said they're holding their own against the vipers. Before the Venture was defeated, she worked with the Halifax to bring down two intrepids; the Orient and the Vega . Sir we're coming out of X-space."
"Okay remember our targets. Terminate verteron field."

At that moment behind the Aurora, the Bombardier the Orion, the Ares and the Intrepid, leaped the six arians and the one pisces. Bombardier was first to come about, obliterating the Coben. Then Taking careful aim, all seven ships concentrated their fire and brought down the Bombardier. It had been defeated. The Aurora then came about and with two well adjusted shots, crippled the Defiance.
"Sir they took the Defiance!" Hutchinson yelled.
"Damnit!! Align ourselves with their damaged flightpod!"
"Aye sir!" Rheemer yelled from her Helm.
Then aliging themselves with the damaged starboard flight pod, the blew their way inward into the system causing a hull breach on the Aurora. All systems went off .

"Nice Shooting , now lets gather the remaing intrepids up and lets wipe em' clean. Radio the Halifax tell them to inititate the delta maneuver."
As soon as the transmission reached the Halifax, her captain commited a fake hari kiri. He had moved all their pulse cannon batteries into the reactor room and detonated the fusion reactor, ending the halifax's role in the game and basking the Ion's and the Polaris in a warm light glow.

DUE TO THE EXCELLENT SHIPBUILDING ABILITIES OF BOTH SSS:
(Southern Shore Shipyards)
AND NASS:
(Nickotopolean Advanced Spacecraft Shipyards) THIS WAR GAME HAS BEEN DRAWN AND AGREED UPON BY BOTH NATIONS.
