System 341XZA: Currently being investigated by Tannisharian scientists after the discovery of ancient technologies. There is one habitable planet in the system, the rest are gas giants. Recently pirate activity has been detected around the 4th planet.

On the Punisher, Orbit of the first planet (Habitable.):

“Sir, extensive mass detected to port.” One of the many sensors officers shouted. “Well is anything scheduled?” The captain asked. “Not for six days. Sir we have visual of ship. It’s an unknown design. About seven kilometers long” The sensor officer said. “Sir the enemy is firing upon our forces.” At this point a small A.I. program activated and checked the ship against the complete database of ships. It found one match, it rechecked its findings and then announced its findings to the crew. “The target is a Tannisharian Dreadnaught.” Came the computers emotionless voice. “Estimated time until defense fleet is destroyed, forty five seconds.” It said in the same flat tone. “Send a message to the surface. Send everything we discovered through the Stargate with them.” The captain said. “Yessir.” That was the last they ever said.

Tannishar, Gate Control:

A message pod flew through the gate, followed shortly by a mass of debris. The Gate ceased operation shortly after, meaning it was destroyed. The pod was recovered and taken to Hanik, the main computer for the base. After a short period of annualizing Hanik contacted fleet command.

Tannishar, Fleet Com, Orbit:

The five Grand Admirals filed into the room, at the end stood Supreme Admiral Jovia. He was the oldest of the group assembled at 47. “Today we have received disturbing news. Another Dreadnaught has been discovered.” Several cheered at this statement how ever they stopped after seeing the look on Jovia’s face. “It is in the hands of pirates, ones that we recently forced out of their old base. They will most likely want revenge.” The room was silent, each person inside was thinking about the Dreadnaughts. “In this case we are mobilizing all five Dreadnaughts currently in our possession. “All… five… Dreadnaughts? That’s insane, one should be sufficient.” One said. “No, we can’t risk losing a single Dreadnaught. Its so serious a threat we have permission to call on Sajuuk if need be.” There was silence in the room, not one person spoke. Then like they were under the control of a hypnotist, they walked out.

Tannishar, Fleet Yards, Orbit:

The five Dreadnaughts left docks and entered hyperspace. Following them were ten of the fifty Keepers. This was serious.

The following message was sent to all G.F.F.A. members.

We wish to have your assistance in subduing a group of pirates. They are equipped with top of the line weapons and ships.

OOC: Any one can join this RP, and any enemies that I have out there, this would be a perfect time to try and grab the best weapons being used by Tannishar. Oh yeah, you will need a significant fleet of ships to fight a Dreadnaught.

With the recent development of their first line of super-carriers, the Galactic Republic deploys their fleet through a wormhole, which leaves the Copen Galaxy for Tannishar territory.

Two hours later...

A fleet of ten Executor II-class Super Star Destroyers* surged forth from the wormhole that opened just outside of System 341XZA, accompanied by one hundred Keilas Guilie-class super-gunships**, five hundred Jormungand-class Fusion-gunships**, five thousand Argama-class mobile cruisers, and five thousand Nahel Argama-class mobile cruisers.

"Admiral Harper, we've arrived," came the comm officer's announcement.

"Good, be ready for combat. That Dreadnaught could be anywhere. All ships, be ready for ANYTHING! Standard Alpha Formation!"

Within minutes, the entire fleet had formed a defensive-movement formation as they moved cautiously towards the habitable planet.

*: Double the stats for a standard Executor and that's what they are.
**: Both ship-classes have the same stats on weapons power, except for length. http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/msigloo/qcx-76a.htm http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/v/keilasguilie.htm

((OOC: I'm going to bed. I'll get back to you later. This is a good RP idea.))

The Dreadnaught (http://shipyards.relicnews.com/hw2/images/gamespy_09.jpg) lept from hyperspace directly infront of the unknown fleet. Its highpowered scanners found that they were not of Tannisharian origin. A message was sent.

If you are here to help the Tannisharian forces subdue this ship, we will annihilate you. If you are enemies of Tannishar, we will help you. Chose carefully.

"Admiral Harper!"

"I know, I see it...tac, analyze the size of this ship and its weapons output. We need to know how to take it down."

"Aye, sir."

"Comm, send a transmission and an IFF code saying that we're allies, and then redirect a message back to Copen to relay to the Tannisharians that we've made contact with the enemy."

"Aye sir."

As this order was made, the lead Executor hailed the massive Dreadnaught, sending friendly IFF tags.

"Don't shoot. We're here to assist you in fighting off your oppressors. All we require is safe passage to the habitable planet so that we may build several orbital space stations to make a forward assault base. We intend on taking the Tannisharians."

Meanwhile, a transmission was sent via wormhole-comm, which is completely undetectible unless the ship is equipped with the receiving device. It reaches the Copen Galaxy, and then is relayed back to the Tannisharians with this message.

"We've made contact with your enemy, and we're intending on taking that Dreadnaught back for you. Give us some time and we'll find a solution."

OOC: Quick question, are you part of the G.F.F.A.? Or any other alliance any kind as it might cause some problems later.

IC:
The following message was sent to Copenhaghenkoffenlaugh.

Be warned, that ship is extremely powerful and should not be approached with out some under standing of its capibilities..

-----

The 5 Dreadnaughts were informed of the allied forces in system. They would arrive around the dark side of the planet where a unique gravitational force would hide them from all sensors for a few hours.

Rouge Dreadnaught:
If this is true, then we will agree to follow you. Should you be lying we will destroy you.

OOC: I'm just one of those nations who kinda gets into everyones business...I fight on my own accord.

IC:

A redirect was sent back towards Tannishar. "We have our ways. We'll have this thing within your grasp soon enough."

Another message was sent to the Rogue Dreadnaught. "We completely understand. Our ships are en route to the habitable planet."

Response to Copenhaghenkoffenlaugh:
We will not help you after the battle. The main weapon is capable of doing extreme damage. We recommend you leave the area.

You have been warned.

Good Day.

Rouge Dreadnaught:
Lead the way.

Real Space - Tannishar Home Star System - Exterior

A lone Firebat (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10177413&postcount=6) Phased from Hyperspace to Real Space just outside the Oort Cloud.

Messages

Transmitted to the Tannishar home world:

This is the I.S.S. Neanderthal of the SeaQuestian Empire. We have come to get directions to these so called pirates. Our only question is this, how intact do you want them?

Hyperspace - Exterior

The remaining Firebats of the fleet drifted idely as the waited word on where they needed to go.

OOC: Yes, how much damage do you want the pirate controlled dreadnaught to take?
Note: I've got 240 Firebats plus one of another class (not going to reveal what she's the class ship of until later).

Response:
Just stop it. We will deal with what ever is left afterwards. Attached to this message are coordinates for the Dreadnaughts. Please remain near them in order to maximise damage dealt.

Acknowledged and understood.

With that, the Neanderthal Phased back into Hyperspace and joined back into the formation with her sister Firebats and one shadowy mass that was at least four times the size of a Firebat.

Fluid Time later...

The SeaQuestian fleet reached the Hyperspatial co-ordinates relative to the designated ones in Real Space.

The fleet of 240 Firebats Phased into Real Space in a short amount of time. The larger ship cloaked before she Phased to Real Space. She was the SeaQuestians 'trump card' or 'ace in the hole'.

Rugal exited his wormhole,his ship glowing with faint visible light before it phased away,redistributing its mass throughout the different dimensions and cloaking it perfectly from any electromagnetic sensors.The only sensors that could detect him,and even then,faintly,were the gravitational interferometers of the younger races,and then only as a shadow,a faint signature that faded away into the background cosmic radiation.

A transapient being,he had recently returned from a harrowing event involving undead and mortal beings,as well as a psionic parasite that preyed upon the dead.(OOC:actually,still ongoing,look for my other posts)

It had resulted in him ascending,an upgrade in his technology,highly advanced femtotech as well as basic hypofemtotech,as well as an uplift in power,allowing him greater control of his reality warping capablities..In addition,he had more full control of his powers,as a cosmic lesser deity,and intended to transcend further,until he ahd transcended eternity and infinity.It would take a few billion years,but then agin,he measured time in eons,ever since abandoning his old human form.

He just wanted to find a location to recover from his exertions of the past few centuries,and this star system looked like the perfect location.It was a nexus of conflict with multiple parties,fighting over a petty transient object that could pose a bit of a challenge to him,should it disturb him.He chose the photosphere of the star to conceal his ship,and exit it from there,content to rest in the warm flames of the star,commune with the spirits of the system and perhaps other cosmic or transcendent beings who happened to pass by.It was an isolated system,no mortals would come to disturb him,or universe forbid,worship him,and he could spend a short millenia rejuvenating his mind and following his baser instincts,to 'let loose',as much as a cosmic being who was formerly human far in the past could.

The coming war was the perfect cover.They would be too distracted with each other to disturb him,he could sit back and observe,smooth over the transition of dead spirits passing his way,and generally remain undisturbed.Who would think that a transapient cosmic lesser deity would hide away in a remote corner of the galaxy.He had no intention of interfering,and it would remain that way.Unless things changed.

The call for help did not go unheard by the Abh Empire. Transmission and energy signatures were monitored from the capital of Lakfakallae as often as they were transmitted. Tannisharian communication transmissions were soon registered and made a priority by the Communications Chief. Two reasons made this message a priority. One was that the call for help came from a fellow alliance member and the second was the purpetrators were pirates. Lowlives, all of them. If there was the one thing that the Empire hated most of all, it was pirates. A joint extermination of pirates along the Talaaxian border was already in progress by a coalition force of Talaaxians and Abh ships.

This situation would be no different and a small detachment would be sent. Very small indeed for an Abh contigent. Ten Exiled Destroyers was all that Emperor Dubeusec was willing to send along with the Silver Noah which was no small thing. The only question was who the Emperor wanted to send amon his Admirals. Many were already occupied with battles happening everywhere. So much for his hopeful reign of peace. A holo screen materialized about ten feet from the throne. "Contact Admiral Abriel Lafiel."

"Yes your majesty."

Seconds later, his daughter's face was flashed on the screen. She saluted before addressing. "Your majesty, how may I be of service?"

He smiled to himself at the impartialty of it all as emperor he could not show favoritism even to his own kin and the same was for her being an Abriel and princess. "There has been a pirate attack in the nation of Tannishar. It appears that one of their dreadnoughts has been stolen and are asking for help to apprehend it. I am assigning you ten Exiled Destroyers and the Flagship Silver Noah to lend aid. You are to leave immediatly."

Lafiel saluted one last time. "Yes your majesty. Right away."

"And do be careful Lafiel."

She stopped for a moment. "Yes father."

Shortly after the assigned ships were prepared and in Hyperspace by the time a transmission was sent to Tannishar.

We have heard of your trouble with pirates and we are sending ten Exiled Destroyers to assist with your dilema. Admiral Abriel will be leading this team in the Silver Noah. She will arrive shortly at your nation's border. Please direct her to where she is needed.

Emperor Dubeusec of the Abh Empire

Response to Abh:
We are grateful for your assistance. As soon as the ships sent arrive they will be directed to the staging area.

Rouge Dreadnaught:

The Dreadnaughts sensors picked up anomalies readings on their sensors. These how ever were not considered to be worth investigating at the time.

"We have emerged in Real Space at the designated co-ordinates."

"Have the fleet being scans. I know to know what we are up against and where it is."

"Aye, sir."

OOC: Where is the rouge dreadnaught compared to my location?

OOC: Your on the darkside of the planet, hidden by the gravitational effects of the planets moons. The Dreadnaught is on the other side of the planet.

The eleven ships sent by the Empire tore through a hole in planespace to emerge at the edge of Tannishar space. Lafiel's chief of staff, Jinto, walked up to the bridge. They were out of ear shot from everyone else so formality was sort of thrown to the side as they stood close at the railing monitoring the tactical display map. "Well Lafiel, it seems we have finally arrived. Hopefully this will go smoothly and we have some of the newer ships."

"Indeed. The pirates won't stand a chance against us."

"Should I contact the local government?"

She merely nodded.

Jinto stepped back and saluted in a mocking voice, "yes Admiral Abriel." The man turned to report to the senior communications officer while Lafiel slowly let a smile creep to her face as she watched her husband go.

Message to the Tannisharian government:

The ships of the Abh Empire have arrived to lend aid to your current situation. Please send all the information available so that we may begin the hunt immediatly.

"We have located a large ship on the far side of the planet. The silouette(sp?) is the same as one of the dreadnaughts used by Tannishar."

"Interesting. Keep an eye on it."

"As you wish, sir."

All but five of the Firebats cloaked to hide their numbers.

OOC: Hmm, not exactly that great a hiding spot (unless the dreadnaught has pre-Enterprise level sensors (mine are Nemesis level, at least)).

OOC: Sorry about the late post but I have been working on multiple exams for the last several days. (And its only term one.) Ok, now a better explanation of the place your all hiding. The moon and plant have a unique gravitational and magnetic field that causes minute, natural hyperspace openings. Diagrame (http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/2694/copyofmoonearth1xv.png), say that every thing in that green cone of space between the planet and moon is hidden by the the hyperspace openings. These how ever only effect the sensors trying to enter the area but for ships inside the area the phenomenon doesn't affect them.

Response to Abh ships:
Coordinates have been attached to this message. Good hunting.

OOC: Now we need to wait for Copenhaghenkoffenlaugh

Rugal relaxed in the electromagnetic energies of the star,the flares of radiation and magnetism a relaxing massage,as tendrils of hot plasma curled around his being.

Deciding to relieve himself of some rather staid contemplations on abstract mathematics,he constructed a probe to send to the location of the conflict.Within 2 seconds,a leisurely pace,it was complete,using the femtobots that were a part of his overall being. Protected by intense magnetic fields that bent the thermal energies of the star around it,generated by Rugal,it was an unshielded probe,filled with a self-aware AI he had programmed in the last 6 milliseconds of the probes production.

He inteded to release it and simply let it explore the area.It was designed for survivability,speed and stealth.WIth this intention,it was designed to disperese heat using radiators that converted the heat energy into high-energy neutrinos.This was active during stealth mode,which could be maintained for a period of 560 standard hours.

It was painted a matte black colour,dark against the background of space,so as not to stand out.It did not reflect light,much less transmit it.It possessed a Pitch Drive(http://www.orionsarm.com/ships/pitch_drive.html) suitable for high relatavistic speeds,able to generate a gravity lens in front of it that deflected physical objects and particles in its path.A small size enhanced its agility in space.

Its sensors were most infra-red,ultraviolet,X-ray,gamma-ray,neutrino and visible light scopes and spectrometers,as well as a passive and active radar and lidar system.

All in all,built for speed and stealth.Perfect to observe,with not much effort.
