I want the contestants to post their arrival before the fighting starts.

With a blast out of hyperspace the Arc Angel Command Ship Imperial Star Destroyer appeared. Its long black-grey length was highlighted with tiny glowing lights from windows and the ever present shield surrounding the ship.

“Captain Mathias we have entered the designated arena. I’ve taken the liberty to alert Balrogga command,” reported an ensign from the crew pits. Captain Mathias nodded. He, like all the crew, were dressed in their best; all creases and shined boots, just for the event, and of course for having Grand Admiral Thrawn aboard.

“Thank you. Alert Grand Admiral Thrawn that we have- ”

“No need to Captain.” The entire bridge came to attention as Thrawn stepped through the main doors. Mathias saluted.

“Sir, we’ve come out of hyperspace at the designated arena area. I’ve alerted Balrogga of our arrival,” Mathias said. Thrawn, his gleaming blue skin shocking next to the white of his uniform, nodded. He sat down in his command chair and brought up several screens with tactical reports and schematics.

“CommScan has already detected the enemy ship sir,” said Mathias. “The Ultra Phoenix has already arrived and has begun deploying fighters.” Thrawn frowned, but nodded.

“Have all fighter squadrons reported in and ready for combat?” asked Thrawn. Mathias nodded.

“All six squadrons, including the Tie Bomber squadron, have all reported in. The Phantoms report that their fuel cells are also prepared. Tie gun boats have checked in too.”

“Very well, let us prepare for combat. Captain is my ship ready?” Thrawn asked, using the age old formal question.

“The ship is ready and at your command admiral,” replied Mathias.

The holographic skin of the Ultra Phoenix turned to mirror all light, this would make it more difficut to see her and nullify turbolaser batteries, as lasers are simply light amplified by the stimulated emission of radiation, and harmless against a mirror. That is of course if the energy could even breach the heavy energy shields which would only need to be powered to 50% until there was a hull impact at which point they would be raised to 125% in less than a nano second. The fighter wing started to launch, and among the common Astro Fighters and Talon StarFighters, were all of the venerable FreedomFighters in exisitance. The 2 auxillary warp cores prepared thier activation sequence for the two mini hornet cannons and all disruptors were brought on line. The Black Talon phaser arrays started ramping up with an eerie purple glow, flashing on and off and the ablative hull armor retracted to reveal the many torpedo tubes.

The executive officer gave the final pre- battle status report.

"Weapons at full readiness, All main fighters deployed, main shields at 50%, secondary shield at 100%, underhull forcefields at 100%, Warp cores 1 through 3 at full power, hornet cores at 89% and climbing, all scanners to full, scanning for target..."

Now they need only wait for victory.

(Assume this takes place after Thrashea posts his ship)

As soon as every contestant was in their starting position the Emcee started the countdown to begin.

"...5..."

"...4..."

"...3..."

"...2..."

"...1..."

A large klaxxon sounded and the start buzzer sounded across all frequencies.

Several announcer covered each ship in their reports back to their nations. Their babble was mounmomentus but still drowned out by the spectators cheering.

"Hornet cores at 99%, 100%, 101% 102% and holding!" reported the weapons officer.

"Lock on target and FIRE!" exclaimed the captain.

"All fighters rig for combat air patrol, clear the Phoenix's phaser envelope and lock phasers on incoming fighters, release disruptors and fire a full spread of torpedos once the hornet cannon makes contact" instructed the first officer.

"Modify foward shield to 80% and increase reserve shielding from the deflector, all ahead full" ordered the captian.

The bright black stream of plasma, particles and energy spewed from the hornet cannons towards the enemy ship at an extreme velocity, and struck the target dead center.

"Scanning enemy ship for damage, standby for torpedo release, evasive manuvers." said the first officer as he glared out the window at the enemy.

OOC: You should file a victory by default bro. This player has been around plenty, he's ignoring the thread.

You are right, a week has passed since his last post.

He is declaired the victor by default.

The crew let out cheers and applause as the enemy ship warped out of the system in defeat before the simulated munitons even hit!

"Reload all tubes call back the fighter, lets get ready for round two boys." the capian shouted on the shipwide comm system.


(ooc: :( i wanted a real fight)

(ooc: :( i wanted a real fight)

Sry bout that PM, but I didn't have time. Meant to say so in the OOC thread, but forgot to; that is say that I was withdrawing. Maybe some other time though.

You can still fight in the Free-For-All.....
