Admiral Kobayashi Yamamoto (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v727/Kordo/yamamoto.jpg) looked at the computer displays. The ships of his detachment were the best the Kordoan Navy had, and the men all seasoned veterans of the Wild Region Campaign’s. If anything unfortunate was going to happen, it would happen to whoever threatened his fleet. Not that anything should happen; his orders were strict about initiating first contact. But things never happened as planned so Admiral Yamamoto made the necessary arrangements.

“Status!” he barked.

“All ships are reporting ready sir” replied Captain Marcus Aurelius. ( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v727/Kordo/Aurelius.jpg)

“Alright then, order the fleet to move out in defensive formation Red Alpha. Then set a course for the first system. I’ll be in my quarters.”

“Yes sir!”

Admiral Yamamoto took one final look around the bridge and headed for his quarters and his wife. Kordoan Fleet Regulations were strictly against having non-combat or non-essential personnel on board its ships, but Yamamoto had no use for the rules of the tight-ass desk admirals that had written those. Unfortunately, his wife kept him from enjoying the pleasures of one of the new crewmen who had shown interest in her commander. Yamamoto gave a mental shrug, at least it would prevent any command complications from arising during what promised to be a long and boring mission. The Admiralty may consider exploration a dangerous mission, and had ordered Yamamoto to prepare accordingly, but he himself was confident he could deal with whatever arose.

Secret IC: Jusvris sytem left expanse of the Hobbeebian Imperium. The hobbeebian 4th quick response unmaned fleet stood ready in a preplanetary bombardment formation. The droid class fleet consisting of 200 command ships, 150 sniper cannon ships, 150 missile ships, 300 sniper/ border ships each garrsioning 3000 heavy assualt droids,
150 planetary assualt craft, 250 fighter carriers each holding 300 super class fighters.


This particular fleet of thought to have been lost as was deemed destroyed, but this was not the case, The Hobbeebian High command wanted to have the ships for its own reasons...... the ships where also outfitted with dime-jump generaters, this would prove to be most helpful. the fleet was booted and ready, destination.....the Xeno
fleet. The ships where striped of their Hobbeebian call signs and left with none. They where called "Space phantoms" Painted in an all black color, they where also out fitted with hydrogen based cloaking. If not looking for them, they would be easily missed.

IC: The Space Phantoms quick response fleet, engaged the dime-jumps gens, and inputed the coordinates. The fleet was there then a bright flash, then nothing......


The fleet was given orders to destroy any and all oppostion....

ooc: sure, I don't really have much experience RP'ing FT (I'm used to MT) so sorry if some of my posts are pitiful

OOC: I hope you dont mind but I will by the secret aggressor- the ships are Hobbeebian by design but have no marking of any Hobbeebian origin....
seeing in how you are new to FT RPing how many ships are in this fleet. and what are thier arms, shielding, and crew numbers?

Since I'm new I'm using star wars based ships, there are ten ships in the fleet.

IC:

Admiral Yamamoto was jolted awake by the comm. "This better be good!" he growled.

Captain Marcus Aurelius gulped slightly. He wasn't a nervous man by nature but an angry Admiral was not something to be taken lightly. Certainly one with a track record like Yamamoto's. "The Searcher is detecting....something....on long-range sensors. Her Captain's requesting permission for her and a couple of escorts to go check it out."

"You woke me up because one of our ships detected 'something' on the edge of sensors? Is any other ship detecting anything?"

Marcus gulped again. "Sir, The Searcher is designed to detect things other ships' sensors miss-"

"I've read the broucher the Admiralty gave out Captain and I'll take your answer as a negative." Yamamoto checked his watch. "If it will give me a couple hours of sleep you can alter the fleets course to head towards it."

"Yes sir!

Yamamoto hit the comm and rolled over. Damn kids he thought as he drifted back to sleep.

The fleet arivved just as fast as they left. With missile ships, and Sniper ships in front, boarding ships on the second round, and carriers in behind. the attack would begin soon. As they waited, two sniper ships took out flanked postitons and located the flag ships using hydrogen anti-cloaking scopes. the first thing targeted.... engines. The shells where loaded, the sights where set, then a large blast from the barrels. 2 large ion/photon encased hyper-dense titainium rounds screamed out at near speed of light. The ion/photon encasing would render the shield useless, then the round would do its job....


The rounds continued through space appearing only as distant stars, like stars
that burn worlds.....


OOC: Sniper cannons are a Hobbeebian unique Weapon that is use to create persise(SP) damage instead of oblitaration....

The whole ship shook as the enemy fire came crashing into the engines.

"Report!" Screamed Yamamoto as he stumbled towards the bridge, still half-dressed but fully awake.

"We're taking fire to the engines. Fire is localized to our ship only." replied Marcus, fully in his element now.

"Raise shields!"

"Already done sir, there having no effect. The armour is absorbing most of the damage. I've ordered us to begin evasive manuvers and have alerted Fleet Command."

"Do we know where the fire is comming from?"

"Not sure, we think its coming from the anomoly that Searcher detected earlier." replied Marcus

"Then set course sraight at 'em! All ships are to raise shields, arm weapons, and destroy the first unknown ship that they detect!" Yamamoto ordered.

"Sir! The captain of Searcher says his sensor's are detecting the fleet. He's relating the data to us now." announced the comm officer.

"Open fire at the bastards! By God if they want a fight they just got one."

Still agood ways away. The rest of the sniper ships took thier postions. Also sending out scramblers waves the futhure throw off any sensors that may have picked them up. The far left and right flanked sniper ships luanched dense decoys, which would give the impression that there where many more ships then there really was. Each sniper ship took aim at a ship, aiming directly for the command bridges, and life support mainframes. Missile ships moved into their positions, as did the carriers and boarders ships. With all ships now in position the formation looked to be like a "jack" Or a cross with sniper ships going left and right, missile ships going up and down while in a concaved movement in the form of a half sphere. And with the carriers in the back ready to deploy fighters...... With the formation now set sniper rounds lept form the barrels, followed by a fire storm of missiles. Other assorted arms where fired as well, photon rounds and charged particle beams where charged and ready for use.....


( aboard the unmanned command ship.)

Droids all doing there jobs. And maintaining the ships and there weapons. Their messages nothing more then beeps and blips.......

"Sir, we're entering visual range of the enemy." a disembodied voice called out from the crew pit.

"Sensors are being scrambled!" Announced another.

"Fucking Ay!" muttered Yamamoto. What appeared to be hundreds or even thousands of ships filled the screen in front of him.

"Their targeting our decoy bridge." announced Marcus.

"Set a course for Kordo. If they want to follow us their we're gonna give them a hellava bloody nose." Yamamoto growled.

The fleet jumped to hyperspace, only making a half-hearted attempt to hid their trail. If the enemy fleet wanted to follow them to the most heavily protected planet in Kordoan space they were welcome to it.

The command ships logistic computers began to compute the tactical reason behind the retreat.... the computers gave two reasons

first was retreat, the second was retreat. The command ship then selected 2 sniper ships and 2 missile ships and 2 boarder ships to follow the fleet and to find the reasons behind the evacuation.... the six ships broke thier formation and located the fleet, with their location set the six ships dime-jumped to a location just a little more then 500,000 miles for the planet its self. the command ships waited for the data.

Tag for soon to be post.

ooc: Please don't engage the Kazeci vessel- or at least allow it to escape with the Kordo.

Ic: A flash and the Kazeci vessel was there. The massive dreadnought class whale of a ship was designated a Super Cruiser and was rather common in the Kazeci navy and on diplomatic and exploration missions. It was hard to miss, with the amounts of energy it put out. They made no attempts to hide their presence.

"Sir, first contact situation."
"Bring communications online. Hail them. And scan them too."
Attn all vessels, we are here on a peaceful mission of exploration. With this contact, we hope to establish peaceful diplomacy.
"It seems one group of ships is being persued by greater one- without markings."
"Hold back a ways untill we know what we've jumped into."

The command ships heared the message and replied....

" This is Command ship 5 of the Space Phantoms fleet. We are operating on directive 85. Your request for a peaceful encounter has been denied by this directive. Your ships has been targeted. If you leave in 30 seconds we will let you ship by unharmed, as stated by Directive 85."

The command ships broke the link and then commanded the other ships to target the Kazeci vessel. With a few moves the fleet was ready......

It was in this moment that short-range jump drives were a blessing. In just a few seconds, the ship had relocated to a position near the fleeing Kordo vessels. As they matched course and speed, they hailed. We understand that you are fleeing from these superior forces. While we cannot offer military aid, we can offer diplomatic relations. We realize that this isn't the best time or place for such a request, but if you could give us coordinates for a calmer system in which we could talk?

CGV So Much Drag

The ship exited hyperpace, its long flat form pushing through on its Warp-Engines. As it moved forward...they immidietly had sensor readings indicating battle in the area. With a quick scan...it showed Unencountered empire attacked by unidentified.

"Captain, give me a target..." The Weapons Lieutenant said.

"The Unmarked ones" Captain Fanina Rawdex said. "Unmarked vessels have no diplomatic ties...fire Missiles A1 to C15, Arm with Broadswords" He looked at the battle map before him. "Target the craft that seems to be doing the most damage, time the Rail-Cannon shots to impact at the same time."

"Any MD Shots Sir?" The Lieutenant replied.

"Not yet, Patch me through to the Marked craft." The Captain said as missiles ejected from their tubes. As the screen came up, the ship pushed itself back slightly ((Ever so slightly)) as the compinsators for the Rail-Cannons Buckled.

"And someone make a note for Command to get the Compinsators fixed." He said. "Fire the second shots when as soon as the first salvo hits, same note, Tubes D-1 to f-15."

"Yes sir...Communications Established."

Hello There.

As you can see, I am Captain Fanina Rawdex of the CGV So Much Drag, a Contact General Vessel Of the Tsurani Empire. I have deemed it appropriate to attack the unmarked vessels that have attacked you, since they seem to be nothing more then well armed pirates.

We will assist destroying the enemy, I am contacting the Special Circumstances Division of Service, which should send a Task Force. After the enemy is disposed of, said Task Force will remove itself from the area and we may begin proper negotiations.

If you have considered retreat, we can cover you until you can get out. We request you tell us what you plan to do...so we can assist you in this venture.

Well...until you reply.

Yamamoto swore under his breath as another unknown ship jumped into hyperspace with his fleet. "Marcus prepare your ship-"

Marcus cut him off, "Sir, the unknown ship is hailing us."

Yamamoto checked the sensors for himself. At least this ship was displaying an IFF signal. "Play the message."

We understand that you are fleeing from these superior forces. While we cannot offer military aid, we can offer diplomatic relations. We realize that this isn't the best time or place for such a request, but if you could give us coordinates for a calmer system in which we could talk?

Yamamoto gave a slight sigh. At least these seemed friendly "This is Admiral Kobayashi Yamamoto of the KS Kordo. I'm transmitting coordinates of my fleet's destination. I suggest you jump to the edge of the system however. I'm letting Fleet Command know your coming but we don't get many visitors and I'd hate to see a friend get damaged by some hair-brained gunner."


"Third Group dropping out of hyperspace near the enemy fleet!" cried a voice from the crew pit. "Sir, they are engaging the unknown enemy fleet!"

"Thank God for that at least."

"Their transmitting a message to us sir."

"Put it the speakers." ordered Yamamoto.

"Marcus you can take care of this one, your better with this diplomacy shit anyway. Send the usual pleasantries; thank them for their help, yada yada yada, then arrange a meeting with them or whatever.”

“Yes sir.”

CGV So Much Drag, this is Captain Marcus Aurelius of the KS Kordo. On behalf of Admiral Yamamoto and the rest of the fleet thank you for coming to our rescue. Since we do not have the numbers stand and fight, we are being forced to withdraw. If you wish to assist by holding the enemy here, your nation will be forever remembered by our people. Thank you, and good hunting.

As the Rail Round jeted towards the lead sniper ship, Command ships where already calculating the next move. Just as the round was about to hit all but the one sniper ship dime-jump in a scattered formation forming a shpere around the attacking vessels, but never fully returned to normal space. Just as the 2 second mark for impact came for the lone ship the sniper ship shot one last round off- An anti- Gav round that would ack as a small Black hole for a short while.... the two rounds connected and the anti-gav round did it job, both the sniper ship and the round where sucked into the hole. Leaving only the atacking vessels to deal with the new problem. With the rest of the space Phantoms in a partial Inter-phased states they could be seen but not touched- which worked both ways for now they could not attack.....

( aboard the Lead command ship )


This is Command ship 5. Vessels identified as Tsurani Empire ships. All ships engage Directive 85..... the command ship opened a channel

" This is Command ship 5. You are in direct definace of Directive 85. you are given 30 to leave before we attack..." then the channel closes, 30 missile and sniper ships then complete thier phasing and target the vessels.....

( just outside sensor range of the kordo fleet, but inside senor range of the planetary defenses)

The six ships dimed back just as the fleeing fleet arivved. The six ships began to scan everything, and every planet near by. The six ships (lacking humans onboard) Did not know that thier mission is suicidal, they just did what they where told. Once don witht the scans the sniper ships took aim at the same flag ship they shot before, this time targeting reactors and life support...... the Rounds that where loaded where Anti-Gav rounds... the targets were lock and ready........ Then the rounds screamed out of their barels in the same fashion as they did the first time- just under speed of light, Heading for their targets.....

The Kazeci ship went to full battle alert the second they arrived. Shields and weapons were ready to respond to even the slightest hostility toward them. Kordo vessels, we are prepared to engage the enemy. We will fight by your side, should you allow it.

The Kazeci ship went to full battle alert the second they arrived. Shields and weapons were ready to respond to even the slightest hostility toward them.

Yamamoto smiled for the first time since the mission began. "What better way to make friends than through battle! I will gladly have you fight by myside."

Meanwhile the Kordoan Home Fleet was moving into attack position. It had learned the lessons of war hard in the Wild Regions, and were determined to teach the enemy fleet those same lessons the hard way. They would fight hard for their home.

OOC: Those rounds move fast.... And sniper rounds are made just to cause damage to one area, sheilds are rendered usless- the only drawback they take time to load so once the first volley is launced it is up to the missile ships to make time for the reload.... just to let you know..... and Anti-gav rounds make small black holes so hit or miss something is going to get destroyed...: )

IC: The six ships could tell the ships where ready. the sniper cannons are stll being reloaded and the missiles are on stand by. the missile ships took defesive positions. Now time to wait, and see it the rounds did thier jobs....

We can't do this alone, let's go! Move in now while they aren't firing. As soon as the Kordo forces began to move, the Kazeci ship would jump behind the Hobbeebia group and fire on the exposed and defenseless back side of the sniper ships. Hopefully damage would be minimal.

The small group had not exected them to jump behind them and attack. Either way the flagships engines were damaged and the rounds would hit thier target.... for them mission succees. The missile ship caught just a snag of the transmission and only one was ready for the behind attack. The Missile where ready to stike as soon as they came to be seen.

Yamamoto checked the sensors. Most of the Home Fleet had formed up and the KS Killer, (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10119386&postcount=2) the only ship of its kind in the Kordoan fleet, was to arrive in a few moments. His ship was taking heavy fire but the enemny was going to have to blast through several dozen decks if they wanted to destroy the reactor. His lead ships reached firing range and he gave the order to fire.

The rest of the ships that where battle ready thrusted forward at full impuse. The missile ships where first to go on with missiles blasting away, at almost 50 missile every 2 seconds The Space Phantoms missile ships where among to most heavliy armed ships in the fleet. Since the ship had no humans onboard the ships had a lot of missile to spare..... And once the missle ships hit the flag ship the explosion would be most destructive. with the sniper ships left only with one missile ship for protection they decided to break formation and attack at will. At last one sniper cannon was ready it took aim at the hole made by the last round to hit , if this round got through it would rip through the rest of the ship......

ooc: Woh, did the entire battle just get RPed? And I never said a word in open communications (or closed) about my plan.

OOC:unless I got confused-no, I was under the impression that you told to kordo ships to floows you. a few ships are waiting for your to attack. the rest went all out on the Kordo Flagship. If this is wrong I will change it.

OOC: Got room for one more?

OOC: Got room for one more?

ooc: the more the merrier!

IC:

The KS Kordo shuddered as it took another hit.

“Start drawing back towards Kordo’s (The Planet) defensive perimeter. Lets see how they like taking that on.” ordered Yamamoto.

“Sir, KS Killer is reporting in. ETA in three minutes.”

“Excellent.”

OOC: to seaquest.... As of now a small team of about 6 ships has followed Kordos ships back to their ( I am guessing) Home planet. after the remaining fleet calle the Space Phantoms attack them under something directive 85. The ships are Hobbeebian by design, but are stipped of any Hobbeebian Marking. And are painted Black. and Ofcourse Hobbeebia does not reconized them as thier ships...... So long story short rouge unmanned fleet numbering.... I will say in a minute...

OoC: dont forget the missile ships coming after you.....

IC:


the missile ships continued to fire the vollies at the injured flagship. volly after volly jetted out about every 2 seconds. The missile ships also set a collison course for the ship as well.....

ooc: I must have read too fast, sorry.

Ic: the Kazeci ship appeared in a flash of light, guns blazing. All four of its heavy LIC* turrets were unleashed, each powerful enough to cripple a frigate in a single 30 second blast. The Hail of purple energy from the many Zat** cannon emplacements would grind at the shielding and armor while the other, more powerful, weapons would inflict the most pain. Red beams lashed out as SPPTs*** attempted to find their targets. They raged in their full might.

ooc: * Lethal Ion Cannon
** basic energy weapon, light
*** old heavy weapon of Kazecistan, penetrates most energy shields with the beam preceding the plasma torpedo, allowing it through to the hull for maximum localized damage.

Yamamoto grinned broadly. "So the Kazeci came through after all. Reverse course, order the fleet to fire at will!"

With the order, the dozens and dozens of ships opened fire, their missiles and lasers slamming into the enemies shields in waves.

OOC: Hehe, I already knew what I was going to send in before I even asked if I could join.

IC: A massive rift appeared in the fabric of space 500 kilometers from the fighting. The I.S.S.

Yamamoto grinned broadly. "So the Kazeci came through after all. Reverse course, order the fleet to fire at will!"

With the order, the dozens and dozens of ships opened fire, their missiles and lasers slamming into the enemies shields in waves.


The charging missile ships shields took hit after hit. Shimmering like liquid gold. But still they chraged. And still exchanging weapon fire with the Flagship. And soon after their charge began the photon torpedos ran out, so the Missile ships switched to Dense gav missiles. Again sending volly after volly.

Mean while.......

The sniper ships and single missile ship began to fire upon to new appeared
Kazecistan ships. Sniper cannons aimed for the dead center of the ships, while the last missile ship fire its load empting about 50 misiles every 2 seconds........The sniper ships shields broke after a few hits of the enemies Heavy LIC turrets. But it gave them enough time to deliver their rounds ( Anti-gav rounds ).

ooc: there's only one Kazeci ship. It's a big one though.

Ic: Kazeci magnetic particle shielding was another saving grace for the crew. Even at 25 missiles per second, they were well defended. The protective 'bubble' of spinning particles slamming into and detonating the missiles before impact. It was fast losing particles with which to shield, however, and could only hold for so long. The Anti-Grav rounds though, were not blocked by either the MPS above or the energy shielding. Most of them made direct impact on the hull plating- tearing the outer hull and non-essential systems and places to shreds but not yet crippling the critical systems. Weapons fire began to drop off as power supplies lessened and turrets were lost.

"Captain!" the Lieutenant said, looking at the screen. "We have Enemies using Phase Units..."

"How long till fleet arrives?" The Captain Asked simply.

"Two more minutes...although a task force will wipe them clean." Another man called.

"Commander, Transmission recived...telling us to leave in 30 Seconds...we are in violation of a 85 Code...any bells?"

"I don't recignize it..." The Captain said. "It might be run on contact files...but we don't need a war right now...so don't run it."

"Sir...damage to the hull, sheilds down to 75%, weapons ready to fire." The Combats Lieutenant said.

"Fire another slavo, lets hope the Special Circumstances get their asses into gear...we are not ment to be fufilling combat roles."

The missile ship fire volly after volly, and the sniper ships took positions behind it, waiting for time to reload. But this would only buy enough time to one more salvo of sniper rounds. But while the sniper ships where reloading they began to fire thier HLT's ( Hyper-dense Laser turrets ) hopefully it would drain the shelds a bit more .....

The command ships gave the orders to begin the normal space phasing and as soon as they where back in normal space begin to attack. Snipers first missiles second, fighters third, boarders last. And almost in unison they phased back and began to launch thier vollies.

OOC: Hehe, I already knew what I was going to send in before I even asked if I could join.

The six SeaQuestian ships drew closer to get more detailed scans of the weapons used. One could never know when this information would prove useful. Some Imperial engineer might even be able to develop some counter-measure just from reviewing these scans, if they were detailed enough.

OOC: which area of fighting are you at? are you next to the six ships assault or the Full fleet assault?

On board the Neo Tirolen Mothership (http://www.robotech.com/infopedia/sizecomparison/images/x10mppTirolianMothership.gif)- Obeerion (http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/Naval/tir_Mothership.html) the pride of Bluntmandias core defense fleet on its course towards bluntmandias homeworld: First officer, "Sir we are passing through a heavy gravitational area, most likely a battle of some sort, it has overloaded primary Reflex furnaces 1-7 safety's and is dropping us out of foldspace sir." Captain, "What? why this now, we must get to the homeworld quickly, get us a reading on what is going on once we drop out of fold space into whatever mess we flew into, I should have never gone along with this shortcut of yours!"

In the midst of the battle a Massive Energy form materializes the Object Mesuring an Enormous Length of over 7260Meters comes ripping out of a pocket of time space unaware of where it is, and what is going on.

OOC:Click on obeeron for proxy ship stats(working on my own DB soon.)

The only thing even touching the energy shields was the lasers. They weren't a very powerful weapon- other wise they would have been the main weapon- and so their drain on the shields was low and the use of that drain was a mystery to the Kazecis, as when the shields did collapse, as they weren't blocking any of the heavier weapons, it wouldn't make much of a difference. The MPS, however, was losing particles fast due to the missiles and had to begin to focus its efforts on an ever shrinking area to maintain its effectiveness.

The Kazeci ship advanced, pushing the already close quarters into tight ones. Just like Kazeci ships liked it. Another HLIC burst came from the 3 remaining turrets. 2 were aimed at the missile ship while the other was for the weakest of the sniper ships. EWC* waves slammed into the remaining ships- intending to shove them away. More SPPTs and Zats came in there unstoppable hail. A bay on the back side of the ship opened and spewed fourth several hundred fighters of all Kazeci makes*. Hidden among their swarm were 45 anti cap torpedoes which rushed at the weakest of the remaining ships. Now they were truly out of tricks, as this was the last in the ship's arsenal that had not been revealed.

ooc: *see factbook in sig.

OOC: which area of fighting are you at? are you next to the six ships assault or the Full fleet assault?

OOC: I forgot about the two fronts (by brain isn't fully awake yet) for a little bit. How about where the fighting is fiercer.

OOC: ships.......... poof..... dust......:) , And I was talking about the MPS thingy. Not energy sheilds sorry if I gave the wrong impression.

IC: The Missile ships's shields took the hits but broke soon after. With the Kazeci ships so close, the missile ship activated all the remaining missiles and began to thrust its way into the attacking ship. Directive 85 was clear, no ships where to fall to an enemy... The missile ship was at full impulse and with them being so close it would not take long to make contact. As for the
Sniper ships- The last HLIC round hit the weakest one and ripped right throught it. Leaving the ship wide open, dumping droids and sniper rounds into space.... The last sniper ship fired another Anti-Gav Round at the Kazeci ship, also radioing back to the main fleet that they where executing the last phase of the directive.


" This is Sniper phantom 2- the last remaining ships are now on collision courses with thier targets. We are relying the enemy positions to you.......
Sent"


" Sniper Phantom 2 this is Command ship 5 , we have recieved your data, continue with the directive...."


" Understood."

The Final round of the sniper ships arsenal was already loaded. It was as almost long as the ship its self. With a few final ajustments the Round was fired the sniper ship buckeled and folded as the massive round streamed fourth. The round made of Techtanium and measuring about 800 meters long, and wieghting as mush as the ship did, the sniper ship fired the last round it had destroying it at the same time.....

OOC: I forgot about the two fronts (by brain isn't fully awake yet) for a little bit. How about where the fighting is fiercer.

OOC:That battle will end as soon as Kazecistan says what was to egome of my maga round. And when Kordo deals with the other missile ships on a collison course for his flagship, But More fighting will begin soon at the other front.

I have small question- what do you think of my sniper cannons- not to godmoddish are they.... I tried to dumb them down with a long reload time....

OOC: Then I guess there is only one arena left.

As for your Sniper Cannons, it depends on the rounds you use.

OOC: Then I guess there is only one arena left.

As for your Sniper Cannons, it depends on the rounds you use.

OOC:The standard rounds reload to fastest, the anti-gav rounds take longer, and the final round can only be used once per ship.

ooc: MPS is made up of billions of bits of scrap smaller than your fist. If you want to try to shoot those you can try, but it seems a bit daunting.

The sniper rounds, no I don't think they are GMish. They are fine unless they can track and change course.

Ic: The massive round sheered the engine scaffold clean off of the Kazeci ship just seconds after it had begun to evade the ramming maneuver. With such close range, it was usually hard for the ramming ship to change course and follow a moving target, but the Kazeci ship only moved so far. The impact glanced off the upper portion of the ship, but that is not to say that it did not do damage. It crushed in the outer hull and the decks between it and the inner hull like a tin can. The entire ship shook violently, causing even more crew injuries and systems damage. Just under a quarter of the weapons turrets remained and the power to supply them was being used for more critical things like life support. The entire ship shut down into life boat mode, where the only focus was keeping the crew alive and what's left of the ship intact.

OOC: I assume that was all damage from the round.....


The missile ship the was on a crash course contunied to fire missile after missle at the crippled ship. Trying to cause as much damage to it before they made contact. Closer and closer the ship came....... Boom... The ships made contact, metal and other assorted items crumpled and burned as the missile ship collided with the other still firing misile as it hit. It looked like a masive space wreck. The missile ship finally stopped shooting, and drifted in space with the other. But on board a few droids still managed to function. And because the missile ship was still noticable they began to make the main reactors overload. But it was no easy task. And it would take the ships reactors 20 seconds to overload....

The sniper rounds, no I don't think they are GMish. They are fine unless they can track and change course.
.

No they can only go straight.. thats why they are fired as fast as they are.....

OOC:The standard rounds reload to fastest, the anti-gav rounds take longer, and the final round can only be used once per ship.

OOC: Actually, what I meant was that if you want them to go as fast as you RP it as, then they need to be solid rounds. Any internal components and hollow spaces would be compressed and destroyed at the speeds you are RP'ing your rounds at.

OOC: Actually, what I meant was that if you want them to go as fast as you RP it as, then they need to be solid rounds. Any internal components and hollow spaces would be compressed and destroyed at the speeds you are RP'ing your rounds at.

OOC: oh they are very solid- Hyper-dense rounds.... They are manufactured from neutron stars... Anti-gav rounds are made of anti-matter which exhibts anti-gavitational poperties.... And the Techtainum Round is also hyper-dense and is very large. It is a last resort round for any sniper ship. They are built in a long very skinny oval shape.

OOC: Can I join?? I'm kinda raring for a good fight. I have 120 ships that are combat ready.you tell me if I can play.

OOC:It is open.... So I guess I cant say you cant... But then again this is not my thread... I say go for it, but be perpared to be told to leave......

if anyone wants to know what the ship look like just ask.....

The Contact vessel Buckled, its form pulling back as sheilds began their failure. And then, there was 6 Ships where there where none before. These craft where NOT the small forms of the Contact vessel, they where larger and had a sleek military design to them.

Looks like you could use a bit of help...

The Captain smiled, nodding. "Send the message to get us out of here...follow the vessels we are assisting. The Task Group can take it from here."

The ship began its turn, slowly retreating.

***

Commodore Araski Jintro looked over the Holo-Map before her. It showed the World in Three dimensions, adding extra bits of infomation such as friend and foe colours.

"Commodore...the enemy is using Phase Cloaks to avoid damage..." Lieutenant Ckiyras Said, a cruel smile on her face.

"My my...thats outdated...intiate Pi." The Commodore said softly. "Time the fire so that they will drop out of phase at the same time out attacks strike." he tapped a number of keys. "Missiles A-27 Through to G-27, Using Broadswords."

"Captain...why so many missiles in one salvo?" The Lieutenant said softly.

"The enemy is going to be destroyed, so lets make it quick. Fire the Pi...let loose said missile tubes on all ships, and fire Rai-Cannons, patch targets through."

"Understood Commodore."

((OOC: Ok, The Pi is Phase Inhibitor...it basically forces you out of Phase cloaks, or forcing you to stay in them, making your ship usless, it allows you to stay phased, but when you drop out again, you won't be able to rephase.))

ooc: I RPed the mega round as clipping the back of the ship, ripping off its engines and causing it to drift in space. I RPed the ram as crushing in much of the outer hull. This is acceptable, no? I kind of need at least a few people to survive for diplomacy, you know.

Ic: Dim red lights revealed the ensign's face as he shouted across the massive bridge. "Sensors are showing an overload in the missile ship's engines!"
"All available power to shielding and thrusters!"

The ship edged back painfully slowly as the thrusters attempted to move its mass. Shielding was boosted and focused toward the enemy ship, but it was unlikely that this would fully protect them. The remaining drone fighter squadrons made last ditch efforts to destroy the ship by unloading all their ordinance and kamikazing into it.

OOC: Can I join?? I'm kinda raring for a good fight. I have 120 ships that are combat ready.you tell me if I can play.

ooc: I would say yes, but there's so many people involved who I don't know I'm kinda overwelmed. Sorry :(

IC:
Admiral Yamamoto's ship shuddered and then went dark.

Yamamoto swore. "Order the crew to the escape pods before they destroy the whole damn ship. Then order the fleet to concentrate on one ship at a time, and to begin picking them off. I want these bastards DEAD!"

OOC: So, who is at each battle zone? Other than the droid ships, which are at both, I don't know who is fighting where.

ooc: Hob and I were the only ones left at the small one. I may or may not live but his one remaining ship is for sure going to be destroyed. I'm going to need aid, as my ship barely has life support.

OOC: yes the small assault is over by now..... but dont mad.... the other part of the fleet will be coming soon....

OOC: yes the small assault is over by now..... but dont mad.... the other part of the fleet will be coming soon....

ooc:
so is one of my suprises MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

ooc: Hob and I were the only ones left at the small one. I may or may not live but his one remaining ship is for sure going to be destroyed. I'm going to need aid, as my ship barely has life support.

OOC: Try a distress call. Someone in the area will probably hear it.

IC: The SeaQuestian craft drew even closer to the large droid fleet with all their military grade sensors on-line and scanning.

ooc: Yes, bring attention to the crippled ship. One good hit and all my characters in the RP die off without replacements. Distress calls are fine in most cases, but not here.

Ic: The crippled Kazeci ship sat in space, putting out as little in the way of energy emissions as possible. Every effort was made to make the ship unnoticeable and derelict.

OOC: Good point, but with life support in as bad a shape as you said, they would die anyways without aid.

OOC: I cant really do much more untill the lesser guy replies... I attacked him. Screw it he's slow....


IC: The Phantoms fleet launched thier vollies at the lesser ships and then Dime-jumped to the same place as the six ship team. The fleet arrived to see broken ships and bodies floating it the empty vaccum. The Fleet began to scan the ships that where in the immediate area. Mostly derbis and dust filled the scanners, but the Kazecistan shi still showed signs of life onboard. As the scans where completed the boader ships luanched a small boarding party craft with about 1000 Boarder Droids. The small craft continued on as the crippled ship drew closer. The craft slowed as it came close and then attached it self like a parasite.


( Inside the Kazecistan ship )

The haul turned red and started to melt away. Then a small explosion not much larger then a grenade blow the rest of the haul away. Once the way was clear Boarder droids began to crippled ship, scanning for life.

ooc: You really want me dead, don't you? I'm going to have to repay your droids the favor.

We may be crippled, but you're in my territory now. Our troops may suck, but our tech in on our side. Watch yourself.

Ic: There was little point to keeping communications silence now as they had been discovered, so out went the distress call. A burst on all channels and frequencies in all known languages in all known formats read:
SOS! Kazeci ship in distress! Crippled and being boarded! [location] SOS! Kazeci ship in distress...

The ship's computer deemed internal defense systems necessary to the survival of the crew- the prime directive in its new mode. Within seconds of the boarding every bulkhead door in the ship had shut, their thick, strong, metal dividing the invaders from the crew. Force fields divided halls into 10 meter sections throughout the 'infected' area. Not that it affected droids, but the air in the 'infected' areas was evacuated into storage for the crew. Another last ditch effort involved using emergency energy stores for a single and final HLIC blast directly into the parasitical ship which had latched on.

OOC: As Hobbeebia= why is it that every time I sign of as Hobbeebia, you have to post.....lol

ooc: Because I can! ;)

Hobbeebia will be back soon hold on.....

ooc: You really want me dead, don't you? I'm going to have to repay your droids the favor.

The SeaQuestian ships opened a Jump Point as soon as the distress call reached them. They were close enough to arrive after five minutes travel in Hyperspace.

Five minutes later...

The six warships slipped out of a Jump Point with weapons hot. Scans showed the crippled Kazecistan ship's location near-by. The two Eshades each fired their two Heavy Particle Beam Cannons at the droid ship nearest the damaged ship.

Directed at the damaged Kazecistan ship:

We have come in response to your distress call. We will do whatever we can to help.

Response to SeaQuest forces:
Thank you! Your coming gives us hope of life! Unfortunately, we have no way of quickly escaping this mangled mess in a timely fashion. What keeps them out happens to keep us in. What are your odds against the opposition? 'Whatever you can' may end up including towing us away from the battle or decimating the enemies in the area. We wish we could provide you with more options.

In response to the Kazecistan message:

These six ships are amoung the top-of-the-line in Imperial technology. Just wait till the dreadnaught gets her groove on.

Exterior

One of the Titans moved closer to the damaged Kazecistan ship and locked on with a gravitic tractor beam (OOC: Basically, an extension of the artificial gravity field) and began pulling her a safe distance away to give the other SeaQuestian ships room enough to open up with their big guns without having to worry about them getting caught in the cross-fire.

When the Titans had towed the Kazecistan ship a safe distance, it cut the tractor and moved close enough to try to pick off the droid boarding ship with her interceptor grid (OOC: Basically, a point defense system).

Meanwhile, the Warlord opened up with her four double barrel Ultramatter Cannons* at the droid ship.

OOC: *The Ultramatter cannons are gravitomagnetic accelerators that throw a bolt of degenerated matter at a speed of 370,000 meters/sec: the bolt is obtained compressing ordinary matter in the breech of the weapon until it reaches a density of about 200 times the ordinary metal used as primary feed (copper-nickel alloy). The compression is obtained thanks to a gravitic "annular-singularity" device.

OOC: that would be the boarder ship.... Oh and I would call in more ships your dreads are nice but they are still out numbered and My Shisp are also stat-of-the-art Hobbeebian tech.


The Closest boarder ship was struck buy the two particle beams. the first was taken by sheilds they other broke throught striking the left engine making the ship fly in a circle........ This alerted the Command ships of new enemies in the area. The remaining sniper ships tokk aim at the ship that fired the beams The Hyper Rounds where already loaded. The Sniper ships locked on..... boom. The shells leapt out at top speed, each one heading for a different location....


As the Cripple ship was moved the Boarding craft was hit and destroyed, And it still had 500 boarders inside. with only 500 boarders inside the cripple ship it would take a long time to hunt the crew of the ship down.


*OOC: I am going to tally my remaining ships....

200 command ships, 148 sniper cannon ships, 144 missile ships, 299 sniper/ border ships each garrsioning 3000 heavy assualt droids,
150 planetary assualt craft, 250 fighter carriers each holding 300 super class fighters.

ooc: Let's RP some of the inside of the ship, shall we? See post 66 if you missed it.

OOC: the parasite ship it gone now....... What type of weapons does your crew use? Also Boarder droids are equiped with mini-sniper cannon guns... but they are not as powerful. they could make a hole in the bulkhead, but the round would fall to the ground after it did.

IC:

The Heavy boarder droid's sensors came to life as the ship tried to imped the moving on. The droids where classed as heavy droids but where not " Heavy" as their name gave. They where heavily armed, nimble droids. They, for now
where stuck until the bulkheads could be cut. Two droids attached H-Heat demo-charges to the bulkhead. the H-heat charges would slowly melt the bulkhead away. The charges went off with a bright bang, The bulkhead glowing white hot. The Boarder droids then shot a small Sniper rounds through the bulkhead.at different points, then a swift kick to the center. the bulkhead bent and fell over and molded to the foot of the droid that kicked it. The droid had a most hard time trying to get it off his foot. They finally came to thier first force field. The lead droid scanned the foces field to find its harmonic base, Once they found it they ajusted thier personel shield to the same- which would allow them to pass through.....

ooc: The crew has Zats (used here as basic energy weapons) and mini EWC cannons.

Ic: As the droids continued through the shields, the computer randomized their frequencies so that progress would be slower. Eventually, however, the droids made it to an intersection. Normally there was a clear path, but with the internal defenses activated, a surprise lay waiting. A large turret filled the space, mounted to both the floor and the calling. The instant they cut through the bulkhead 20 meters down the hall, the force fields between them and the turret dropped and it fired. First the EWC mounted in the middle then the four Zat repeaters on mini turrets. Their hail of fire singed and burnt into the walls and filled the hall with purplish light. All quite a painful supprise.

The Turrets rounds hit the first 20 droids in the hall. And the mini turrets cause some damage on the others, but mostly on the outer armor. As the droids sat to devise a plan others began to lob grenades down the hallway at the turrets. Others shot at the turrets with thier sniper cannons. the the grenades exlpoded, causing a massive jolt in the ship it self and even blow a small whole in the hull. Just as a safty two droids also launched 2 small missiles down the hallway to make sure the turret was gone...

OOC: that would be the boarder ship.... Oh and I would call in more ships your dreads are nice but they are still out numbered and My Shisp are also stat-of-the-art Hobbeebian tech.

*OOC: I am going to tally my remaining ships....

200 command ships, 148 sniper cannon ships, 144 missile ships, 299 sniper/ border ships each garrsioning 3000 heavy assualt droids,
150 planetary assualt craft, 250 fighter carriers each holding 300 super class fighters.

OOC: First off, here is some things I want to say:
1.) It was four particle beams, two from each Eshade.
2.) Thanks for the compliment about my dreadnaught.
3.) You missed the post where my dreadnaught fired its four double-barrel Ultramatter Cannons (8 shots)
4.) I'm going to let you destroy one of my Eshades to give the other five ships reason to call in reinforcements.
5.) With the Kazecistan ship a safe distance away now, due to a little tow job one of my ships did, my Titans can cut loose with their main weapon now.

IC: One of the Eshades, the Cunning, moved into position to protect her sister ships. Using her Heavy Phasing Pulse Cannons and her Heavy Quantum Bolt Cannons, the Cunning was able to shoot down most of the incoming shots. However, some got through and struck the ship just in front of her engine block. Enough hit her their to break the entire engine block off the ship, rending the Cunning into two pieces. Emergency bulkheads plunged down in torn corriders to stop the outrush of atmosphere. Forcefields were not used due to automatic measures taken to preserve the emergency power.

The Warlord sent a message requesting some fire support.

Meanwhile, the two Titans, the third was still floating by the damaged Kazecistan ship, moved out from behind the disabled hulk of the Cunning and opened fire. The remaining Eshade and the Warlord joined in as well. There were so many targets, it was like an old-fashioned shooting gallery. The SeaQuestian ships began their targeting spree by first concentrating all their combined fire power at the nearest droid sniper ship before moving on to the next.

ooc: perhaps I didn't fully explain how the turret works. There's one big EWC in the middle. It can move and rotate to aim at whatever it needs. By 'mini turrets' I simply meant that each of the 4 rapid fire Zat cannons, while attached to the main turret, had some freedom of movement to target more precisely. The Zats are the only 'lethal' weapon there. The EWC is simply a shoving mechanism that uses energy waves. In a confined space like this, it would fill the hall and have good pushing power until the bulkhead you just broke through.

Ic: The turret, indeed the whole intersection, was shielded. The fireballs that resulted from the grenades caused a neat looking ripple effect, but no 'damage' to the actual structure. The turret sensed the incoming sniper rounds and reacted defensively. Another EWC blast came fourth, nearly stopping them dead in the air. They were issued every time an object was detected approaching to protect from droids rushing and solid projectiles incoming. Meanwhile, the stream of rapid Zat fire continued to fill the space between the turret and any droids that might present themselves.

The boarder droids fought the turret system for to long and elected to activate thier self destruct systems. the Droids took safe spots and engaged the system. The droids, powered by matter anti-matter fission, would blow a good chuck out of the ship. The timers where set and they waited. Five minutes later they detonated. Each droid would equal the same power as a 500 kilo nuclear explosion.



( meanwhile in space )


The first ships to become space debris was the boarder ships, taking the full force of the attacks, but they didn't go without a fight. Fireing their smaller sniper cannons, and missile swarms. The space was truly nothing more then a ship grave yard.... The command ships took postions in different spots on the formations. The sniper ships took attack positions and selected thier targets, missile ships did the same. The planetary assualt ships, took a risk and targeted enemy flagships, or ships of importance.., thier weapons would be slow but if made contact would destroy thier targets. The carriers gave orders to luanch the fighters, and out went out 75000 fighters. picking targets and engaging. Thier wasn't a second that didn't have an explosion, or a laser blast somewhere in the vaccum....

ooc: "Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!"- Frankenstein in reference to the thread's raising from the dead.

You know, there were ways to come around and get the turret from two angles thus defeating it. Oh, well.

Ic: The mangled hulk was rocked with the explosion, being propelled with some speed away from its previous location. Large chunks and much smaller debris floated in the other direction. Internal dampening fields and integrity fields made it just possible for portions of the inner hull to remain livable.

As the Kazecistan ship drifted off, the battle in space continued. With fighting only getting larger. Sheilds breaking , and atmosphere leaking battle continued. But, three lone Boarder ships did not get intangeled in the ensumming chaos. setting thier sights on the crippled ship again, But this time on the other side. The ships, instead of sending boarding parties, rammed the ship. The three ships hit with a good amount of force, shattering matel as they slide in. It was different to see the entire ship in one target. The ships where only much smaller then the crippled ship and where very noticable from the outside. Once they stopped, the ships weapons fired blasting the inside. Once the weapons stopped, The laoding bay doors opened, showing a good force of 9000 heavy assualt droids. which where to take the ship....

ooc: Back you wretches! Back! You know some of my characters do need to survive this for diplomatic purposes....

Ic: The vast majority of the ship, the outer hull areas, were a decompressed mangled mess. Portions could be recognized as what used to be hallways and crew quarters, others seemed a scrap yard. Every once in a while one of the internal defense turrets would be functional, but they were rare now. The beacon for aid repeated.

OOC:They will becuase soon the Phantoms fleet wil retreat for an unsaid reason...

The boarders stepped out into the vaccum that was inside the ship. the wreckage was bad and with power low. The boaders estimated little defensive measure would still be in place. The boarders began to explore the ship, down wiring and pipping flaoted around the area and sparked with the occasional electrical surge. The droids continued with thier exploration thier mission now not to kill but to capture. Every few feet a message was sent out saying...

" This is the Phamtoms. You are now prisoners of The Directive. If you give up now, No harm will come to you." The Droids continued to play the message and hoped the crew would be smart enough to listen....

OOC: I think enough time has passed for the calvary to have arrived.

IC: A fleet of fifty Sharlin class (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10117008&postcount=23) war-cruisers and twenty-five Tinashi class (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10117011&postcount=24) war-frigates emerged from Hyperspace Jump Points. They started shooting at any ship firing at the Warlord and what was left of her escorts.

The remaining crew sat huddled deep in the bowls of the ship- the only place that still had atmosphere. Among them were many injured and dead. Fear came to them, chilling their thoughts with the idea of death.

Until one has actually faced such a situation- one with no conceivable escape from what seems to be a horrible death, surrounded by one's bleeding and dieing friends, and perhaps the worst of it all, having time- time in which to think about it all- time in which you cannot act to prevent the thoughts from becoming reality- one cannot understand. They may claim to be the bravest in the galaxy- to be ready to face death and smile- but they know nothing of fear, self pity, and remorse. For Kazecis, however, such powerful emotions often become anger, powerful rage.

Only a time and an airlock separated them from the droids.

OOC: thats deep....


The Droids continue the message. Then thier sensors went nuts, they picked up movement and life signs. The Droids lined up a the airlock ready to take it down. But they waited and repeated the message.....

Ic: The Kazecis gave no response. There had been no communication between them- their extreme emotion prohibited it- but their unified rage combined with what remained of their reason capabilities to cause most to take up positions of defense and weapons.


The room was massive, extending 22 transparent and suspended decks vertically and a good 30 meters across. The outside of the room was ringed with walkways but the bridges to the suspended control center in the middle had been retracted hours ago. A 20 ft gap and weak force shield separated the droids from the suspended column of decks where the many bodies- either dead, injured, or hiding lay. On each of the decks was an identical ring structure of workstations where ring after ring of personal interphase desks built toward the center, where the large holographic information column once stood. Sparse flashing red lights lit the buleish interior.

The droids took thier positions by the airlock and planted demo-charges. the droids ran back and detonated the charges. The airlock cracked open and the droids rushed in. Once inside the droids threw a few gravity disruption grenades, which would reverse gravity for a few minutes. Oce the droids felt them selve lifting they activated thier mag-boots which kept them on the ground. And they began to look for the crew shooting anyone who fired at them....

ooc: They used anti grav tech right before making them selves stick to the floor? What did you mean?

The airlock opened and functioned normally for the droids, as resisting would cause the death by vacuum of all the survivors. For the first moment the droids were inside all was still in the dimly lit room. The first shots fired were mini* EWC blasts from the butt end of their staffs. The transparent waves would slam into the droids and shove them against a wall or other solid object. More fire followed from multiple decks and hiding places.

ooc: *By mini I refer to the handheld version which is approximately 8 inches across rather than the inter-ship, planetary, or turret versions which can be HUGE. Their physics allows for almost no kick back while still delivering a great deal of pushing force to the target within a reasonable range.

OOC: The anti-gav Grenade only disruptes gravity for a few minutes. so when the droids noticed they where begining to float they turned on thier mag boots, which acts as a magnet. allowing them the stick to the floor.


IC:

The Droids began to take fire from many points, soon they began to take cover and return fire. The droids began to do quick scans of the life forms and that weapons that where being used against them. The command ship just outside changed the tactic for shoot to kill to the use of sleeping gas. 50 or so droids at different points in the room switched thier weapons and luanched canisters of concentrted sleeping gas into many pionts of the room.

Now the Kazecis- those 60 or so that yet lived- were in an even worse situation. Their last shots in offence had been non-lethal (using EWCs rather than Zats as one cannot see an EWC's point of origin). Their minds raced with range and fear while their bodies were being chemically forced to shut down. Adrenalin rushed and their hearts pounded hard and fast. In the end it was the conflict of signals that caused a paralyzed state in most. Their hearts beat ever slower and the light in their eyes dimmed as they began to slump. Sleep- they had never known its dreams to be so tortured and painful.

The droids quickly began to collect the crew and take them back to thier ships. The droids being cold and emotionless, never felt sorry for the one the forced to this state. They only followed orders and thats what they where going to do. They took them to the boader ships and loaded 20 per ship. they where put into the holding cells located in the forward hull of the ships. The cells where dark and soundless, with a single light that shown in the roof and even that really didn't make the room lite just scary. There was no doors and no crease in the walls just like a perfect box. Only about 7 foot tall and 6 foot wide. once the droids got them into the cells the misted the room with a gas to wake them up.....

Some yelled and pounded the walls, shouting things like 'Bastards!' Others sat in shock and fear, unable to move. Some sat moaning in anguish from their physical wounds. Others lay dead or comatose, the shock and stress too much for their bodies.

( Somewhere..... )

A man in long Black robes sat in front of a computer screen, laughing at the images of the crew members going nuts in the cells. He held up his hand an a holo-consol appeared. The man quickly typed in something into it and put his hand down. As soon as he did the holo-consol was gone and he watched the screen again.



( Back at battle zone )

The Command ships that where still functioning. Got new orders. They where to the Boarders. The new orders where to find the highest ranking person in the holding cells and put him into a room for him to speak to them

The droids in the ships got the orders and began to follow. then one was found they took him to an interrogation room and a screen was place in front of him. The screen came to life and showed a shillote(SP) of a person.

"And what do you want?" spat the voice of the one man who had been able to keep his full reasoning capability throughout it all. Commander Alexander Ferzli sat in front of the display, his eyes fixed upon the shrouded figure. He was angry, but holding his temper well. He bore minor injuries about his body from being thrown about the bridge of his own ship and his uniform was torn and dirty with blood and burns.

The man in the screen laughed a little and said,

" I am not important. What is important is that you will live. but if you must know I am but a humble man who lives for the spreading of darkness, and death. I am a pilot. Have you heard of a Biomech? If you have then I dont suspect you have heard of thier dark-counterpart. Which I serve. ( leans forward to the screen and shows his face. A face of metal plates that looked like small dimonds and pale skin, with eyes that looked like lenses.) I pilot a dark bio called Nercomander. a dark dragon type. ( shows picture will explain scene below). Isn't it the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. And I have great news you shall not become one of us, but your crew will.( screen switches to show the holding cells. Droids enter the room and begi to inject them with the dark bio-cells which wil corrupt thier mind and turn them into dark-bio pilots. The process is painful.). I hope you dont hate me. I am only following orders. Guards take him to an escape pod. send him out for the dogs..." the screen turned off and the droids took him to the pod, and launched him into space.

-necromander

ooc: Okay, that's wierd.

Ic: The face disturbed Ferzli, but his temper only became violent as the fate of his crew was reveled- he had been with them since his first command. He struggled until the last. The survival mindset kicked in the second he had control of the escape pod, however, as he could not allow for his own death any more than he could prevent the perversion of his crew. Their memory was blocked out. He piloted the craft away with maximum speed.

Once the droids did thier job the ships linked back with the rest of the fllet and awaited more orders.

The dark fleet was to gather and had noticed a new ship in the area. After locating thier exact location they dime-jumped to meet thier new foe....
