It had been neraly 100 years since the fall of the AKKALABETH and nearly 75 since their second coming against the empire and the high guard and during those 100 years much had changed in the empire.

The technology the AKKALABETH had created millenia ago was surpassed by the Bekhaerans and when they faced them once more the AKKALABETH although they had technology once more superior to the High Guard fell by the wayside... this time only by the hands of the High Guard

The Planet Dushkun was a mixture of organic and man made, with cities of steel rising out from the seas, the coast, the countryside whilst ther jungles and forests remained intact, many of the High Guard joked that Duskhun should be the center of the empire

But there was turmoil in the empire, voices saying they shold ally with Sith and tyrnats...to increase the power they had acumulated, others wished to seek out races and help them...it was a INNER BATTLE AMONST THE PEOPLE

But that was to change

Friday January 12th 2305... The S.S. Crowhaven, Redemption, Sphere, Artemis & many other vessels in Dushkun space contatced the High Guard and announced they were creating a new empire in Dushkun and any attempt to fight for control would result in war

This is where it begins...

The following Sub-Space transmission has been sent to both the capital of the Holy Empire of Bekhaera and to the New Empire in Dushkun:
The Cosmic Empire of the Planet Jurai (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Planet_Jurai) views the coming civil war as a tragedy to be avoided; there are too many evils in the Universe for nations to turn upon themselves. Currently Jurai Empire doesn’t have enough information to take one side or another, but we are willing to help negotiating peace between different fractions, so that your nation could avoid unnecessary bloodshed and be united once more.

However, Jurai’s aid will come at one condition: The Holy Empire of Bekhaera will not ally with Sith or any other dark powers. While Jurai Empire is currently not in war with any of Sith Empires, we have heard enough of Sith’s corrupting ways and wish to avoid being associated with them.

Regardless of your decision, Jurai Empire will appreciate any information regarding this civil war you can provide us with, as it will help us to determine our stand in it.

- Lord Hikozaemon Hikoto, on behalf of the Holy Council of the Planet Jurai

The Rebels of the "Duskhun High Guard" only wish to create an empire for their own ends, these were soldiers disenfranchised with Bekhaeran rule as being so far from Bekhaera they felt they were more important than the emperor Rin III

They have annexed several planets in the sector and have under their control now 2 million colonits loyal to their cause while the natives of the planet pledge allegiance to Bekhaera, it is not knon how many natives there are but 230,000 approx are the numbers we have obtained

The Bekhaeran Militray itself is 2 million strong with a further one million in reserves, we wish not to turn brother on brother and neighbour on neighbour but the threat of this rebellion being spread across our realm shakes us to the core



A Message From Rebel Leader, Rifkin Artemis Kai

"We seek only to govern ourselves, the populace is behind us and for far too long have we guarded places liek these with no credit or thanks, we will rise up and show you the true power of the High Guard you so much love, before you can even utter a single word...the empire will fall..we have allies...we have hopes and dreams.. and we have weapons not even the Palmer & Cole Fleet can imagine... we are the true heirs of Bekhaera..and we shall rule the universe"

There were two flashes of light outside the system containing Dushkun. Out of folds of space emerged a long, cylindrical ship and a majestic vessel with many flowing sails. The ships acknowledged one another and began slowly creeping towards the system.

Lobauld Rillen observed the scene from inside a control bridge. As a personal warmaster to the Duke Gaedroth Ontillan, it was his duty to watch this operation with a critical eye, and report all mishaps to his master. Rillen turned around, now facing another man. "So," began Rillen, "we have been focusing so much on your plans for the Duke's Fremen, I have forgotten to ask you why we have come here, to this place which I am not even sure is in the Empire."

"We have long left the Empire in our journey, Lobauld," said the man. "I am not sure exactly why I have been sent here. All the guild navigator said was that 'here, you might find a market for your deadly trade'." The man who had just spoke was Liet-Voran, head of House Ontillan Mercenary Services.

"Well, we will certainly see about that," said Rillen. The two men, anxious to see what this system had to offer, both positioned themselves so that they could have the greatest view of the system as it came in to view.

A transmission was sent to the planet of Dushkun, as instructed by the guild navigator that Liet-Voran had consulted:

Greetings from the House Ontillan. We, the House Ontillan Mercenary Services, have been sent here in order to find a market for our mercenaries. Would you be interested in procuring our warriors for the cheap price of 5 solaris per soldier?

Secret Ic to all rebel factions:

The United Imperial States Has seen the oppression you have experienced and the need to go out on your own, because of this our government has deiced to provide you with funding, as well as with advanced weapon systems, however it is up to you if you will accept this offer, we will also provide your forces with training as well.

(OOC I assume this is open?)

OOC: it is indeed open

IC:

On the planets surface the smalle sea haven of Orrico was taking fire from rebel forces, the rebel mechs blasted away at thehaven's defences, the colonists loyal to the crown and the natives manned the ir mechs but were blasted straight away...the Bekhaeran technology was superiro to many but needed to be updated,

Meanwhile at High Guard HQ, outer empire rim

"sir Federal Union have offered tech and training to the rebels" an eager ensign blyrted out to Admiral Konin Rifi, direct ancestor to Palmer and Vale Bekha, two heroes from the AKKALABETH war

"Thsi is grave news, send for reinforcements from the great war allies"

The rebels recieved a message from a race known as the Graindi offering mercs

"we shoudl take this offer sir, consolidate our positions in Duskhun and eventually create the mepire your ancestors were meant to rule" Admiral cofaxxi of the rebel guard said to Rifkind who mulled over the offer

"Accept and ask hwo many thye wish to send us..we need allies...our bluff wont hold out for long, the High Guard WILL attack us..and in great force...it sems we are the new AKKALABETH to them..this time the "AKKALABETH" WILL WIN" Rifkind responded with a look of murderous glea in his smile, "The Graindi and Federal Union send us help eh...we accept the Federal Unions offer, they must land in Kobek, the capital and soon the new empire shall reign supreme"

The High Guard had interecepted the messages and were disgusted.... People were helping the rebels

"This can only mean war is imminent, the people of the Chimera shall be torn in two once more, reactivate the Imperial Fleet...let the rebels feel the full might of Bekhaera...if they wont back down..then thsi si the only way" ordered Commander In Chief Josev Thingorin as he keyed in the code for emergency broadcast to the planet and colonies

His words rung out through space

"We shall NOT let those who threaten our existence carry out their plans and let their megalomania go unheeded, I am sorry for those whose relatives now betray the oath of our people and the empire, this day woudl coem but I had hoped not in our lifetime, for this I am sorry...now is the first chapter in this "war"...may Kreya be with you all

the message ended and normal service resumed, a voice , frail yet strong spoke from the shadows

"It was nearly 100 years ago now Vale was emperor and neraly 80 or more years since Rin took to the throne... your family are everlasting...I remember being in charge of this nation for a month..me..a scholar...a being from the foribidden space...ah well your grandfather and his father knew I was trsutworthy enough and tahst why I am still here... to guide you my EMPEROR"

"Findus please, I do not wish for those I rule to know me as their emperor but as their brother" retorted Josev

"That is the very reason they have revolted...they have lost faith and with you being a deity ...that is most alarming" Findus spoke with a tone of obedience, although the wiser and the older he was still a servant

Josev looked at the portrait that hung in his office, of Vale Bekha and his father Rin I, the two that led Bekhaera into an age of ungodly power and crafted an empire for people to be proud of, "What do you suggets I do Findus...?" asked Josev

Findus stared at him and for a second then he thought he saw Vale..."Take the title your father and hsi father took, be the emperor and not some commader in chief, be the warrior"

Josev looked at the paintinsg once more and stood up, "It is my destiny to unite my people once more, then I will...I shall unite the divided..Findus..prepare war council"

"yes emperor Bekha Rin" Findus replied before departing

Sub-Space transmission to the capital of the Holy Empire of Bekhaera:
Thank you for clarifying the matter.

Jurai Empire will send of our best diplomats, Lord Kazuki Kakiyo (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Kazuki_Kakiyo) in attempt to persuade the rebels to return into your empire. Also, 1st Jurai Strike Force under command of Rear Admiral Haruto (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Haruto) will be shifted to your empire’s border for the case if quick military action will be needed. However, if negotiations with rebels fail, Jurai will refuse to aid you against them unless they attack your forces first.

Since your location is somewhat remote from Jurai Empire, it will take our diplomat approximately two days to arrive to Dushkun. We will try to keep you updated on how negotiations are going.

- Lord Hikozaemon Hikoto, on behalf of the Holy Council of the Planet Jurai

Sub-Space transmission to the New Empire in Dushkun:
Jurai Empire would kindly ask you to reconsider your position and forbear from raising arms against your own empire. But that is not conversation we should hold over the communicator.

Jurai Empire will send our representative, Lord Kazuki Kakiyo in attempt to negotiate peace between you and the Holy Empire of Bekhaera and avoid bloodshed that might result from your rebellion. However, if you fail to listen to the voice of reason, Jurai will refuse to aid you in your rebellion, but neither will we take military action against you, unless you will be the first to take up arms against your own empire.

Since your location is somewhat remote from Jurai Empire, it will take our representative approximately two days to arrive to Dushkun. We kindly ask you to forbear from making any rash actions or decisions until our representative arrives; bloodshed is easy to star but difficult to stop.

- Lord Hikozaemon Hikoto, on behalf of the Holy Council of the Planet Jurai

Jurai Empire, Cortosia system, Lord Kazuki Kakiyo’s palace

“My Lord, you are not going to take Cortosian Defense Force with you?!” The tall alien-looking woman asked in obvious surprise.

“No, Jenn’Ra (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Jenn%E2%80%99Ra),” The young man she was talking to answered, “I am going there to negotiation peace, not to star a war. Besides, there are very few things in the universe that can pose threat to Kotori. Not to mention that we cannot know when Cortosian Defense Force might be needed on the borders with SPACE (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/SPACE).”

“My Lord, please at least allow me to come with you! No matter what, I will not be at ease unless I will be there to personally ensure your safety!”

The young man smiled as he looked at the woman; no matter what happened or how much time passed, Jenn’Ra would remain the same, loyal as ever.

“Very well, if such is your wish. Take Viola and ten other Cortosian Cruisers; we may not wish to start a war, but we must be prepared for the case if someone else does.”

The young man left it unsaid that it would be she who might need extra ships’ protection, not he; his own personal spaceship, Kotori, was a second generation Space Tree (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Space_Tree), and three Light Hawk Wings made her nearly undefeatable in battle. The same couldn’t be said about any ship the woman will be helming, though…

Duskhun High Guard Rebels HQ

"So the empire has begun preperatiosn for a war have they? And someone is being sent her to mediate the "argument" we are having with the homeworld...very well they can try but they'll fail" Konin Rifi said to his advisors, "Why would we wnat to return to an empire where the emperor doesnt even acknowledge his divine blood.. a weak pathetic ruler"

The two ships entered the system. The long, cylindrical one was of the Heighliner VIII class, and the more elegant vessel was a dreadnought of the Jupiter class (http://img469.imageshack.us/img469/1498/dreadnought4sf.png). Rillen and Liet-Voran were aboard the Jupiter, which was a heavily armed vessel that Liet often used on his missions because of their dangerous nature.

A transmission was sent to the rebels after a quick check was done:

Between our two ships, we currently have 510,000 soldiers that we can loan you. They are priced at five solaris per standard month of use each. You will have to feed them, but they have their own weapons and armor. We will also not burden you with matters of water, which we will make sure is supplied to the soldiers. Once you have them, you may order them to do whatever you wish. They have extensive training in even the most hostile environments, and can be quickly trained to accomodate any of your vehicles that you may use, provided that they are made for humanoids. If there is anything that I have not sufficiently expounded upon, please ask. Do we have a deal?

!This offer is more than we could have wished for, we accept and the payment shall be dealt with as soon as possible" replied Konin Rifi, whose heart was full of pride and lust for war now...his plans were to come to fruition, the rebel empire would swee across the Bekhaeran territoires and claim the homeworld as their own

The two ships moved closer, plotting a course to enter high orbit over Dushkun. The massive Heighliner was a 14 kilometer long behemoth, whose sole purpose was transport and supplies storing. It was on this vessel that most of the mercenaries had been living. The Jupiter, which was still an immense 2.6 km in length, was dwarfed by the transport.

In the Jupiter's control bridge, Liet-Voran's Mentat assistant, Uthom, had come to his boss seeking information pertinent to critical navigation calculations.

"What is it, Uthom?" asked Liet.

"We need to know locations of where on the surface we can shuttle the troops so that we can tactically position our Heighliners near that area."

"Okay, I will acquire that information for you."

Liet sent a message to the rebels:

This is Liet-Voran, the leader of our operation, and I will need to know where you want us to shuttle the Fremen down so that they may begin service. Once we know where we can let our soldiers off, then we will send our shuttles down to the positions you indicate for us and you will have all of your mercenaries within a matter of hours. Also, it would be helpful to know if they will be entering a combat situation directly upon entry to the planet. If there are hostile forces where you want them to land, then I will patch you through to the lower echelon commanders who will work with you in the landing operation. Otherwise, these commanders will meet with you after the soldiers have landed.

The message back to the Garindi stated

"There are no more or very little sympathisers or loyalist forces left...land in the cities of Veya, Bekhasans and Treno, we shall relay a map soon to you all until then godspeed"

MEANWHILE, back at The High Guard of the Bekaheran Empire

"The soldiers, they are young arent they?" asked the emperor who looked out athe mass of ships teh empire had built, over 200 vessels just form the planet alone and with over 500 elsewhere the rebels would submit just to the sight of the fleet, "Where are the experienced soldiers..the leaders, soem of them can barely be 17 or 18"

"but sire..you were 15 when you fisrt fought.... younger than many of these and they have seen action, do not let their years fool you, when the tiem comes they shall show you their might" responded Findus with usual air of grace, he wished to seek allies before this war...but where coudl they find any, the rebels would becoem leaders if they didnt act soon enough

The million plus troops on the surface were ready...evn the legendary unit, the CHIMERA's were ready... long disbanded ever since the death of all their leaders in combat they took on Dracarnian, Pythgorians, Sequestians in their ranks and as a result their technology becoem essential to Bekhaeran militray and so the CHIMERA's became an official unit & leaders of the High Guard

War was inevitable, many opposed another kin strife but what could the emperor do...submit and accept the rul of a tyrannical member of his family..no..and time was running out

To The Holy Empire of Bekhaera, Menzoberethen pledges it's full support. We can provide one million soldiers. We will move into defensive positions, but seeing as we don't know your region well, you will need to give us coordinates. Please accept our aid and our wishes for the well-being of your empire. Rebellion is an ugly thing, and must not be tolerated.

With that confirmation hundreds of fighters slowly combed the dark void of space, there gravimetric engines unleashing huge streams of white and blue particle like ejections, pushing the large grey sleek ships forth.

The ships began to jump, there large bodies shimmering in to the void of space, they disappeared, in a bright shimmer.


On the lead freighter, General Tomas Cole stood on the bridge, his burly built up body stood on the metallic chrome white bridge he looked around his lips twitching as he grinned a bit, his toned semi smooth skin gleaming In the white light.


The fleet arrived at the intended distention with no incident , a communiqué was sent out.

“This is UIF Tigress, we have arrived with equipment and training personnel, please dicate were we may drop these off.”

IC:

There was a flash of light, and twelve more spaceships materialized on the high orbit of Planet Dushkun. Each ship is 350 meters long, but the leading one is clearly different from the rest, and close inspections would have revealed that it seems to be made not of steel, but of some kind of wood. Almost immediately thereafter, the following transmission was sent to the New Empire in Dushkun:
This is Lord Kazuki Kakiyo, representative of the Cosmic Empire of the Planet Jurai.

We ask to send in a shuttle so that I could personally meet with your leaders and negotiate peace between you and your empire. Considering that these are trying times, I will be accompanied by eleven bodyguards, all armed with blaster rifles and vibroblades.

I am just curious, Menzoberethen, how many soldiers does your 20 million nation have? 1 million solders is 5 percent of your population, and although it is possible for you to have army that big, it would be rather strange if you would be willing to send most, if not all your solders to aid another nation (especially if you previously didn’t have contact with them). You might wish to look through the following thread…
http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=419432
…And perhaps reconsider the number of soldiers you are planning to send on Bekhaera’s aid.

As the two ships positioned themselves in orbit over Dushkun, hundreds of banana shaped shuttles disembarked, heading for the three cities that the customer had cited. The shuttles flew around in circles over the cities at first as pilots discussed with each other where the best place to land would be. Finally, they came to a decision and landed in the most open areas that they could find.

Soldiers immediately exited the shuttles with their supplies. They set up signalling beacons for other shuttles that would later come, and began surveying their surroundings. The shuttles that had transported them lifted off and began making their way back to the Heighliner as the next wave of shuttles began to head down to the planet's surface.

(OOC: Could you give a description of these cities? Also, I didn't expect you to know this, but the people I am RPing with here are Fremen. They would be confused if you were to refer to them as Garindi.)

Due to my mandatory military service and the fact that kids are a part of the military, it is possible for me to have a fairly large one. That is why I am able to send 1 million sodiers.

The cities of Venas, Bekhasand and Treno were all built to one design so all were the same except for Treno's seaport

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Ryan_kamichi/NATIONSTATES/Bekha2.jpg

The military of Duskhun High Guard were happy with the quick response of their allies but when they heard of the million troops being sent to the High Guard of Bekhaera they became uneasy

"THEYRE NOT AS FOOLISH AS WE THOUGHT... AND EVEN THE "EMPEROR" HAS TAKEN HIS TRUE NAME" several people shouted to one another over the almost inaudible landing areas their allies were beginning to land at

"The mediator is here m'lord, shall I send them to you" a high guard redruit said as he entered the bridge of the D.H.G. Dragonia

"very well lead them to my conference room" replied Konin Rifi in his stern Bekhaeran accent and tone, he was groweing impatient, if the Bekaherans were going to strike they would have by now, their arrogance was only matched by their foolishness

OOC:

Bekhaera, from your post I am assuming that rebels won’t do anything ‘rash’, like trying to shot the shuttle down. If I am wrong, tell me, and I’ll modify this post of mine.

IC:

Once the permission to land has been given, a relatively small shuttle separated from one of the ships, strange enough, not from the leading one. The shuttle proceeded to land into designated location, and quickly after it landed, eleven figures in white full body armor (OOC: think of the armor Jango and Boba Fetts’ wore in Star Wars, but without jetpacks and built-in weapons) stepped out. The armored figures' gender is impossible to distinguish under the full body armor, but each of them stands a little over six feet tall. Of visible weapons, each armored figure is carrying a blaster rifle behind its back and sword on its right hip.

Immediately after the armored figures left the shuttle, a green beam was fired from the leading ship, striking the ground among the white armored figures and quickly materializing into a young man. The young man appears to be somewhere in his early twenties and he is rather handsome. He is of average height, approximately five and a half feet tall, with pale golden hair and maroon eyes. He is dressed in white Japanesque outfit, not quite a traditional kimono, and doesn’t carry any visible weapons.

“Greetings,” the young man says, bowing slightly to whoever was sent to meet him, “I am Lord Kazuki Kakiyo, representative of the Cosmic Empire of the Planet Jurai. Would you take me to your leader?”

The Fremen noticed that they were in a very urban setting. Large structures, presumably man-made, towered above them and consumed the skyline. The soldiers quickly assembled stilltents as temporary shelters in whatever open areas they could find. Each of them carried a fourth of the components for a stilltent.

As usual with Fremen mentality, they first focused on how they might procure extra sources of water. The Fremen in the city of Treno noticed that the city was adjacent to a large body of water. Could this water be safe to drink? The Fremen decided that they would use their water supplies first and inquire as to another natural source of water at the first convenient moment.

When the soldiers exited the shuttles, they already had all of their armor and weapons equipped. The armor was bright yellow in color, and was not thick enough to hide the natural contours of the soldier's bodies. The helmets were notable because of their three horns, which stuck straight up in into the air, and for the visor that aided the Fremen with enhanced vision. For the Fremen soldiers, who already had many traits that seemed "superhuman", this made their sight range considerable. For weapons, the Fremen carried a large rifle with many settings that had a strap which went over the shoulder. In this way, it could easily be let go of if the Fremen suddenly needed his hands to be free for any reason. Other weapons included a scimitar in a sheath on the right hip, a kindjal in a sheath on the left hip, a crysknife in an arm sheath, and, in the belt, several types of grenades, some pistols, other explosive devices, and devices that could be used to disable an opponent. Strapped onto the back of the Fremen were more devices, such as flippers, injections, stilltent components, torpedoes, and a glider that could be erected in seconds.

In the three cities, leaders in the operation gathered in large command center stilltents, where communications equipment had been set up. The commanders needed to get their first orders from rebel leaders. A message was sent to the rebels asking for instructions.

This is Naib-Yolfe, leader of the Fremen contingent at Venas. We have established camps in the cities of Venas, Bekhasand, and Treno. What are your orders for us?

(OOC: Are there any fountains in your cities or other open sources of fresh water in your cities?)

OOc @ Garindi: Yes there are fountains in each of the four city districts with a major oen in the ecentre of the city, this si common of all cities

OOC @ Juari: No the rebels wont be rash

IC:

The rebels of the new empire of Dushkun and their allies mingles freely, something about the rebels seemd different compared to the Bekhaeran homeworlds attitudes to foreigners, they were at ease, sharing and mingling

The Fremen stoxked up on water supplies in the cities many fountains and armed mechs and troops lined up to the salute Konin Rifi, the man who would be king

The Jurai delegation landed at Krishtiana Airfield north of Treno...Konin waited for them in the Treno HQ....

The Jurai delegation landed at Krishtiana Airfield north of Treno...Konin waited for them in the Treno HQ....

Just to make sure I have a clear picture…

Lord Kazuki WAS met by the New Empire’s delegates who would take him to Treno HQ, wasn’t he?

OOC: He was met by the new empire's equivalent to Beklhaera's Scholar, a rank where someoen of non Bekhaeran blood acted as negotiator, stand in monarch etc etc whenver needed, essentailly the steward of Duskhun

IC:

The Scholar of the new empire also the Steward of Dushkun awaited the Jurai delagates at Krishtiana Airfield, the stewards name was Falkov Deminius, a distant relative of Konin although he was not a Bekhaeran by birth, he was of Demancian origin

"Please follow me this way, Praetor Rifi wishes to discuss whatevr you have to say but be prepared..he is a man of bluntness and honesty" Falkov spoke to the Jurai delegate

"Apparently, we are going to be staying here while the rebel leaders take care of some formal business," said one the Fremen commanders. "Continue with normal operations."

The Fremen built up their camps with some defensive weapons that could easily be collapsed at the moments notice if they were called on with their first orders. Meanwhile, more Fremen were being shipped in from the two ships above.

Lord Kazuki and Falkov entered the HQ, it was based on design the Bekhaeran High Guard ahd acquirred from their enemies centuries ago, a mixture of nature & machine..a thing they learnt much off the Yazzan race

"ah so you are Lord Kazuki I presume, please eb seated, I am Konin Rfi, Praetor of the empire of Dushkun and commander of the Rebel High Guard as it has been dubed..as you can see we are self sufficient and our new alies are very happy with our ways...there is no need whatsoever to negotiate our....assimiliation back into that empire led by a child fool who doenst even acknoledge the blood inhis veins and the blood that was spilled from the veins of hsi forefathers....but i hsall let you proceed nonetheless" Konin spoke at times with elegance before ghis hatred of the young Rin III showed up

Meanwhile In Bekhaera

"My liege the fleet is ready...are we to invade" asked an eafer pilot to Rin

"Not yet..the timig is yet not right, for there is something wrong...can you feel it Findus?" asked Rin perplexed

"In my youth sire but age has seen the gift bestowed to me wither away liek life itself...although by the look in your eyes ther is much disturbance and pain to come before us...It is..unavoidable" Findus replied

"Send word to every nation race in the galaxy... we need help... once ore we need help" Rin declared as the pilot rushed off to realy the message... there were over 700 vessesl in Bekhaeran space now... just a part of the whole fleet that remained loyal..it wasnt known how many defected

“Greetings, Praetor Rifi,” Lord Kazuki said as he took a seat while his bodyguards lined behind him, “I can understand the desire to get autonomy, although there are factors you don’t take in consideration here. But before we move to them, I would like to hear, why are so intent on betraying the emperor you swore to serve? How did he wrong you enough for you to tear your own empire apart?”

"Why did I sever my links and break the oath I took..simple really, why serve in Heaven when you can rule in Hell...For a century now the empire has fallen into decay and long has my household been there to pick the pieces up of that house of fools that run the empire...we along with them share divine blood..blood of a god..and what do they do...act like hedless chickens and meek children, I say it ends now...millions agree with me" Replied Konin Rifi as he gave his viewpoint, the Steward Falkov entered and offered drinks and food, he placed them near both men

"And am I willing to risk placing my home, my peopel in danger just to create a world for those who see the light..yes I would and shall...its necessary...Duskhun shall be twinned with bekhaera and under my rule the empir shall becoem more greater than the gods themselves"

“To rule the Hell… Greater then Gods themselves…” Lord Kazuki couldn’t help smiling sadly at the man, who talked about things he clearly had no idea of; for unlike him, Lord Kazuki has been there to behold the Ascendancy’s fleet in its Heavenly grace, as well as Chronosian forces in their Chaotic fury.

“I see your point.” Lord Kazuki says aloud, “But do you truly believe that you would honour your diving blood by bringing ruin to the empire your ancestors created? Do you truly believe that you would honour your diving blood by putting to risk lives of the millions who put their faith in you? If you are truly your emperor’s better, it is you who should put an end to the civil war before it begins to take its toll in the lives of the innocent. There is no dishonour in service; I too have royal blood flowing in my veins, yet I take pride in the services I perform in my empress’ name.”

"royal blood... many outsiders just think its ir"royal", the house of my father and the fool of Bekhaera are descended form the Goddess Kreya... she who could bend the will of life to her own means... I woudl gladly give my own life for this so should every man woman and child" Replied Konin, his eyes were on fire now, he loved arguments and never shyed away from them

"This war isnt just about freedom... its about restoring balance, for too long has the empire becoem weak and fallen into disrepair and long been sought after by its "allies"... my ancestor Dagon Rifi fought against an ancient enemy known as the Akalabeth... he was slaughtered there and not once did the Bekhaerans honour him or my family because they fear our power" he continued on as if to say this was a blood feud

"to rule in Hell... if Duskhun be Hell in this plain of existence then so be it, it willbe MY hell and none others...if we refuse to seceede back to the empire what will you course fo action be Lord Kazuki"

OOC :

I'll join .

IC :

As the Emperor Darth Matter sat on his Imperial Council Head Chair , a young Sith Assasin approached him and delivered a new report fresh from the press : Civil War In Bekhaeran Colony !

Immediately Darth Matter halted the day's Council where all the ruling Sith Lord met and left for the War Room . Upon entering the war room , the Grand Admiral of Empire Protectorate Starfleet approached him and bowed low as a sign of reverence and respect .

"Darth Bane , have you also heard of the news ?"

"Yes my lord . I was the one who sent the Sith Assasin to you to report the latest happenings ."

"I see . No one else is as close to me that would dare to interrupt a Imperial Council Meeting ."

"Yes my lord . Now we have more pressing matters to attend to ."

"I know . We cannot let the little rebels with their ships to overtake the Civil current Bekhaeran government who has friendly ties with us . "

"So what do you propose we do , my lord ?"

"What is the nearest Task Force or fleet ?"

"Well , we dont really have a nearby fleet or task force . But we do have a small Navy Outpost in International Space 30 Lightyears away . It has 4 Imperial Star Destroyers , 8 Carrack Class Light Cruisers and 12 Defender Class Light Cruisers . "

"Excellent . Do they have any pressing matters which they need their full force to deal with at the outpost ?"

"No my lord . They usually stay there to mantain peace and Imperial control . They also do regular patrols . But removing up to half of their ships , it shouldnt do much harm ."

"All right . Order 2 Imperial MkIII Star Destroyers , 4 Carrack Class Light Cruisers and 6 Defender Class Light Cruisers to assist the Bekhaeran Government Forces in regaining control . "

"But sir . Intel reports The Federal Union ships in that area , apparently helping the rebels ."

"Since we are both CIP and GE members , we wouldnt start hostilties against each other ."

"Yes my lord ."

Then the Emperor strode away for his daily spa treatment while Darth Bane walked briskly over to Fleet Net and opened a relay to Channel oh-four-oh-two , which was Imperial Outpost Number 0402 .

"Imperial Outpost oh-four-oh-two . This is Imperial Fleet Head Quarters , do you read us ?"

"Imperial HQ , we read you loud and clear ."

"Send 2 ISDs , 4 Carracks and 6 Defenders from your task force to Bekhaera and assist the Bekhaeran Government in quelling a rebellion . Upon entering Bekhaeran space , they will be transmitted their orders from here directly ."

"Yes sir !"

Several Hours Later :

Commander Devis of the 0402 Task Force stood on the bridge and braced himself as his flagship , a MKIII Imperial Star Destroyer appeared out from hyperspace .

As the 1.6 km long warship headed towards Bekhaera , the other MKIII ISD and the other Cruisers surrounded his ship to give it protection and additional firepower should they engage a Rebel Ship .

Then he opened up a com channel to the Bekhaeran Government :

"Bekhaeran Government . This is Task force 0402 Commander Devis . We are here to assist in quelling a rebellion . We are sent from Imperial Outpost 0402 under Emperor Darth Matter's orders . Please advise us on location to dock and the current situation ."

“I assure you, on Jurai ‘royal blood’ means far more then you seem to think.” Lord Kazuki replies calmly, “We may not be of Tsunami’s own flesh and blood, but we are her chosen, and power flows in our veins along with blood. But as for your question, while Jurai doesn’t approve of your chosen course of action, we will not act against you unless you will be the first to turn arms against your former empire. Our goal here is to bring peace and unity to your nation, not to help brothers kill brothers. Yet should you listen to the voice of reason, Jurai will gladly become your empire’s ally; believe me, in the Universe filled with many powerful nations, unity is essential for your empire’s survival, but there will be times when it will not be enough, and that is when you will need allies you can rely on in the time of need.”

"The empire must be restored to its former glories... the cutting away of dead flesh from the body, cleansing a wound nearly a millenia old...restoring the greatness of the empire has alwasy been my dream but I tried to... I tried to in the name of the Empire, I gave everything and in return I saw bureaucrats and vultures take what they wanted from the empire and leave nothing behind...No more..the new empire shall surpass the great deeds Bekhaera ever managged... I understand your problem and wish for the empire to remian united but we believe we have gone pass the point where any amicable reconciliation can take place, I am sorry, the High Guard of Bekhaera is rallying troops as we speak and they plan to take this nation by force...we must launch the offensive first if not we shall lose our right to rule" Praetor Konin Rifi said as he palmed the touch pad on his desk, it lighted up holo images of Dushkun and Bekhaera, two worlds far apart but united by fate

In Bekhaera

"Sir vessels approaching Bekhaeran space...they bring a message of alliance..its...the sith sir" private Alans shouted

"Sith... there are few of them who still see us as friends... many have chosen to see us Jedi lovers...they offer alliance but will not fight againt the Federal Union...hmm I see... Tell them to dock at space station Minerva for talks" replied the Emperor

Private Alans relayed a message to the new allies

Lord Kazuki frowned; though the man seemed to be somewhat unreasonable and burning with anger, there was something in his last words that made Juraian Lord wondering if he should avoid making hasty judgment about him.

“After all, didn’t I feel the same during the time of Kagato (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Kagato)’s tyranny?” Lord Kazuki thought, “I have never broken my oath, never betrayed the one I thought to be my legitimate emperor… But now I cannot have wondering if perhaps I should have?.. No, it was not my place to…”

Lord Kazuki’s thoughts were interrupted as something beeped.

“Please, excuse me, Praetor Rifi.” Lord Kazuki said as he quickly pulled up his left sleeve to reveal a simple metal bracelet with a gem, which was flashing with yellow light.

Lord Kazuki immediately ran a finger along the bracelet, and the next moment a holographic screen with a relatively young black-haired man appeared in front of him.

“What is it?” Lord Kazuki asked, apparently addressing the hologram.

“Your Lordship, our sensors detected a small fleet jumping into Bekhaera Space.” The man on the holographic screen replied, “They jumped from the Galactic Empire of Mationbuds, according to our intelligence, a Sith Empire.”

“Are they friends or foes?”

“I do not know, Your Lordship. They exited Hyperspace near Bekhaera’s capital world, but we cannot continue tracking them since they entered the True Space, the distance is too great.”

“How far away are you?”

“Ten minutes jump, Your Lordship.”

“Very well, keep watch. I will contact you if I need you.”

“Rear Admiral Haruto out.”

With that being said, the holographic screen disappeared into the thin air and the gem on Lord Kazuki’s bracelet went dull gray. Lord Kazuki pulled his left sleeve back and returned his attention back to Praetor Rifi.

“This is somewhat unexpected turn of events.” Lord Kazuki says with a frown, apparently deep in thoughts…

"Sith..helping the empire, this is perfect... you may ask why but to me its si the catalyst I needed, you see Mationbuds will influence Rin , he is malleable and weak willed despite recent turn of events and most surely take the offensive soon" Replied Preator Rifi,

"Lord Kazuki tell me this, has there never been a time in your life where you wanted to join a side where the reason seemed wrong but then it seemd so right eventually, this may surprise you but I was not the initial instigator of this plan, there were 7 originally, 7 peopel who decided to launch this "war" now... I was dead against it, I was loyal to the crown despite my hatred of the emperor, I was a fool, but slowly in this sector I came to see the light and it made me realise my own path" Praetor Rifi continued on as he took a drink of red wine

Offiver Unida rushed into the room grasping a holopad and delivered to the palm of Rifi, "Sir our allies are awaiting orders, what shall I tell them, they feel left out?"

"Hmm invite their highest officer here to discuss with myself and the lord, these matters now concern them too, and alos tell them to mbilise the troops in case of the need to be on the offensive or defensive, bekhaera has soem new allies, Mationbuds it seems" he coldy spoke to Unida, Rifi's voice could inspire acts of heroism, great heroism but now they inspire words of only great villainy

"Tell me Lord Kazuki, if the chance came, would you rise up aginst your own empir if you saw the truth behind it sya it was from the inside a corrupt and disgusting array of vultures, wouldnt you take up arms againt those who poison your nation from within?"



In Bekhaera

"Mationbuds empire... an ally at last but is i the right ally, nonetheless they can help us defend Bekhaera and take back Dushkun... god knows how many more worlds theyll attempt to take next" Rin thought to himself

"Sire...their"emissary" has arrived, he wishes to speak with you and lord Findus" ensign Shargrat proclaimed

"Let him coem forward, matters must eb dealt with" ordered Rin as the ensign sped away

"Rin...be cautious...you are not as strong as your forefathers...y=you may break...I am sorry to say those words but my allegiance is to you and the empire and I know that you shall succeed" Findus spoke

"My lord do not worry soon we shall restore balance..no more will these two worlds of ours be part of a divide empire, united once more..no matter the cost" Rin declared... a startkling resemblance to hsi fathers and a eerily resemblance to Rifi

Lord Kazuki’s frown deepened; he obviously didn’t like what Praetor Rifi said, and with him being so prone to fits of anger he found it hard to believe that he was initially against this civil war. Yet if the Holy Empire of Bekhaera ignored Jurai’s condition and allied themselves with Sith…

“It appears I may have to choose the lesser of two evils.” Lord Kazuki thought sadly; this thought didn’t appeal him in the least.

“I have never and would have never betrayed my legitimate emperor, and you offend me by suggesting that I would.” Lord Kazuki spoke finally, though he sounds more saddened then angry, “But if your former empire will welcome Sith’s aid with open arms, then I fear it is truly the time to take up arms… If not against your own brothers, then against the evil that seeks only to use your former empire to suit their own ends. I hope you realize it, Praetor Rifi, Sith may give promises of power, but once you step onto the dark path it will make you a servant, not the master. However, if you choose to turn to the Light, Jurai Empire will be glad to offer you its friendship. Most of us do not enjoy conflicts, but should the one be inevitable or should the cause be right, we will be there for you… And you will find that our power is fully match to that of Sith.”

"So would Jurai aslly themselves with my vision, with my new world" Asked Rifi, his star fixed deeply on Kazuki, he continued to speak
"The Sith may not influence those of true power there but they will influence enough to lure those to their side"

Rifi inside was full of venomous glee, he had possibly gained a new ally in his attempt to create an empire in his own image, he had spun many lies to Kazuki but alos revealed many truths which he knew would be needed and now the two men drew their conference to an end

"Tell the people of your wish Lord Kazuki, my peopel and allies ahve much respect for your people, they wish to hear your words" Rifi said as he led Kazuki to his balcony taht oversaw a mass of troops, too many to count, all lined up as the High Guard flew overheard

"It is only a matter of time before one of us strikes...what will you say to these men" Praetor Rifi said as Lord Kazuki stared at the men and at the podium,"Give them more fervour! Join us!"

“If your former empire allied itself with Sith, then the Light of Jurai will certainly be with you.” Lord Kazuki said as he followed Praetor Rifi to the balcony, but not before running a finger along his communication bracelet one more time.

As Lord Kazuki walked out to the balcony, garlands of unfamiliar flowers suddenly appeared out of the thin air, adoring the balcony. The flowers are large with blood-red petals, and while certainly beautiful, for some reason they seem to evoke sadness, not happiness.

“It should not have come to this,” Lord Kazuki says, and as if through some supernatural means, his voice carries through the crowd, and despite the distance or other noises each man is perfectly able to hear him, “Yet now the choice has been take from our hands and it is time for you to take weapons and fight; not against your brothers, but against the evil that seeks to manipulate them and bind them to their dark ways: the Sith! If they are allowed to work their evil ways, it will be only a matter of time before they will bind your brothers into dark servitude, and so, for good or ill, you must rise to oppose them. Now your fight is not only for your own freedom but also for the freedom of your brothers, even if you will have to fight them in order to save them. I ask you to go into this battle not with anger, but with sadness; for even though they were mislead, these are your brothers you will be fighting. But take heart, for the Light of Jurai will be with you. Kotori!”

And immediately innumerable beams of light poured from Lord Kazuki’s spaceship, filling the entire sky with light, bright but not too intensive to look at.

The light disappeared in a few seconds, but once it did, Lord Kazuki called again, “Rear Admiral Haruto!”

And immediately a hundred Jurai Battleships appeared out of the thin air, gliding through the air above the crowd. Though large, each 450 meters long, the ships move with effortless grace and certainly a beautiful sight to behold.

And against this background of beauty and power, Lord Kazuki spoke his final words.

“We are here. We are ready. And may Tsunami show us the path engraved by the Light.”

"YUou have herad his words and many times have you heard my own, to craft an empire from the soon withered palm of Bekhaera is necessary...the empire dabbles with allies who have washed themselves in the dark light" Rifi said to the crowd, "Today we embark on a course to war, a war where the blood of brothers shall be spilled, I do this with a heavy heart and with a firm belief in myself, my people, MY BROTHERS!"

the crowd roared and as the Praetor walked away from the balocny he messaged his fleet captain, Admiral Tengu,

"Commence order 13, bring the special units into the ships and contact the defectors, tell them to instigate the plan now"

ACross the universe hundreds of Bekhaeran High Guard vessesl recieved the notice... the fleet had turned to the side of Konin Rifi, and they sped to Dushkun in haste to prepare for war, the loyal Bekhaeran High Guard sped to Bekhaera to safeguard the homeworld

In Bekhaera

"Jurai...did what!?!" Rin blared out, he never had been this angry before, "They allied with Konin! Why would they do that!"

"My master it is because of the Sith they take this action... no doubt others will do the same...we must strike now!" Ordered Findus, he was a loyalist, he didnt wnat the empire to eb divided

Suddenly a messenger burst into the war room with a holo message off Turin Gael, a Jedi master from Bekhaera stationed on Vidunis VI

"KONIN'S FORCES HAVE ARRIVED AND ARE ATTACKING VIDUNIS VI... WE DONT KNOW IF WE CAN HOLD OUT...SEND REINFORCEMENTS ASAP!"

the message died and Rin looked shocked

"So it has truly begun, rally the troops, we go to war"

Before posting further, I would like to wait for Garindi and Mationbuds (and the Fedral Union, if they haven’t lost their interest in this RPG, that’s it) to make their next posts.

Oh, and Mationbuds, please check your telegrams.

The orders from the commanders spread quickly through the now 510,000 soldiers in the three cities. They took down their stilltents and packed everything up, being ready to move at a moment's notice. Until the time when they received further orders, many sat and meditated.

Since there was no highest officer in this particular group, 17 Fremen commanders journeyed to Rifi's command post to meet with him. Each of them had a legion of Fremen that they commanded, and, while they would rather be with their troops, they understood the importance of good communication between the top commanders.

"So you are the top Fremen I see? Well here is an update for your men, we have a new ally in Jurai, they have seen our might and believe our plan to save the empire, lest they know our darkest secrets, as of an hour ago the Dushkun fleet bombarded the planet Vidunis VI, a planet with 4 million inhabitants, a Bekhaeran planet, we will face resistance there from the military as they are led by one of the "Jedi" of Bekhaera, I shall dispose of him in due course" Praetor Rifi told the men

"Any ideas gentlemen, your words are valued highly in this council, any ideas on how to proceed and furthermore... half the High Guard has defected as well due to Order 13, an order whcih many of the High Guard ahve chose to obey" Steward Falkov added as he took his place at Rifi's side and handed him a small piece of metal with inscriptions in Akkalabeth & Bekhaeran written on it, an ancient device

"Any ideas then Fremen?" Asked Rifi

"We must know about our enemy," said one of the Fremen. An onslaught of questions followed without mercy.

"Where will they be coming from?" asked another. "We need to know if they are coming from space, or another place on this planet's surface."

"Or if they will be coming from under the water or below the earth," added one.

"Do they focus on air power, land power, or sea power? This would be useful for determining defensive fortifications."

"Will they be attacking our positions in the cities or somewhere else on this planet?"

"What are their battle tactics? Do they attempt to engage from a far out range or do they drop themselves into our ranks in order to break up organizational maneuvers?"

"Do they have any weirding abilities such as the Force? Will they spread out their forces or focus them in a large concentration?"

"So many questions and the answers I have easily" Replied Rifi, Falkov placed a holo pad onto the center of the table where the council was being held

"Their focus is land and air units, they use mechs as a main land force now BUt we weild weaposn that they have just acquiired whilst we are masters of them"

The Screen suddenly burst into show a massive mech unit...a gundam as many called them

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Ryan_kamichi/NATIONSTATES/835321ab.jpg

"We've several different forms of these... they can be utilised in air, space and on land, they are in effect the perfect fighting machines, and you may wonder how a small rebellion liek ours has amassed such power, that shall eb revealed in duecourse" Rifi proclaimed before Falkov took over the speech

"According to our information their fleet is not all assembled there yet at Bekhaeran High Guard HQ and their forces on Vidunis VI are small, there at least 5 peopel who are adept in the force upon Vidunis VI led by the planets assigned ruler, Turin Gael, Bekhaera is assisted by Mationbuds...the Sith empire, we must be cautious of them but Jurai who now helps us shall assist in destroying them"

"And I tell you this, we have our own secrets and surprises lined in store, you shall see much from my people and even I shall reveal the power that made me ruler of this empire and Bekhaera will only attack worlds we own and seeinga s we only control Dushkun and are about to attack Vidunis VI...they are the only two places they will attack" Rifi told the Fremen, "Now anymore questions?"

"Very well," responded one of the Fremen. "Two questions I have now: Where on Dushkun will they attack and how concentrated or spread out do you think their forces will be? These are two very important questions as it will tell us how we should best defend when they launch their assault and how we should best attack should they gain a foothold on the planet. I assume that you have other forces to engage them in space."

The Fremen thought about these mechs. It appeared that they would treat them as if they were fighter craft. The Sith, force users, would have to beat defeated by a large number of troops laying firepower on them from multiple directions, preferably at a distance. It did not sound like they would be facing more than a handful of such Sith, however.

"If they manage to get this far we believe they will attack the city we dwell in now from the sky and from the east as that is the weakest point but we shall place one of these gundam units in wait there alongside several other mechs and troops... we believe that the empire will strike at Vidunis VI to regain control... being noble as they are the emperor Rin will order it" replied Rifi as he sipped from his glass of red wine

"should they gain a foorhold on this planet...we should utilise the oen thing they do not, the sea, seevral sea hubs have been created upon this planet, many of our forces at thsi moment reside there and in case the enemy begins to take control of our territory we shall unleash the units at our sea bases creating a surprise attack, for too long ahs Bekhaera looked at the stars and made vessels for that, they forget about the ocean and that is our back up"

"worry not about the sith, they know their place in the grand order of things, that I shall show them" Rifi said as he clasped the small metal item handed to him by Falkov, he gripped it as if it was something only he was allowed to weild

"Our forces are advancing on the settlement of Davidia on Vidinus VI...no matter who guards taht city we shall seize control...and now gentlmen..we move to war"

Rifi left the room to be escorted to his ship, the flagship of the fleet, The Armada Scar, the vessel began to rise before leaving Dushkun and heading towards Vidinus VI

"We are approaching the planet, sir," Thom said.

"Good. Alert General al'Thor." said Zaknafein replied, his hand straying unconciously to the hilt of his scimitar. "Soon we will show them what drow can do..." he whispered. "When we arrive, cloak immediately, and if we are discovered, and they attack us, we shall retreat back to the main force."


Meanwhile, near Bekhaera's capital, Rand al'Thor was preparing to meet with the Emperor of Bekhaera. Suddenly doubling over, he began coughing violently. He had not been well recently, and still wasn't fully recovered. After the spasm, he straightened slowly, and wiped his mouth. Holding his hand to his chest as if it hurt, he turned and ordered one of his Asha'man to take him to the planet, and almost immediately a sliver of light appeared before him, and widened into an oval-shaped gateway. Rand stepped through it, and glanced over his shoulder, just in time to see the Asha'man, gasping for breath, release the gateway. Steeling his face, Rand began to walk purposefully down a street, towards what he assumed was a palace, to meet the Emperor.

The Chimera Fountain led to the Royal Palace, the palace had remained the same for two millenia now, why change what was perfect thought Rin

Emperor Rin was sitting in his chair studying reprots of the attack on Vidunis VI which they had manged to gather before all lines of communication were severed, the news that an emissary of Menzoberethen was arriving to meet his holiness widened Rin's eyes, a new ally perhaps he hoped not for a new enemy

"Rand al'Thor I presume... I heard you were coming to meet me, how was your trip to Bekha Vale?" Asked the Emperor extending his hand to greet his guest

OOC: what planet are you cloaked by?

Wolf streches out from his long night on the hard ground. He groans as his creaking joints crack in stiffness. It seems theres alot going on in the world right now, but he has no idea what is really happening. Its been many years since he lost his job in the factories, and hes been scavanging in the city since then. He wanders around the city hearing rumors of rebellion, and revolt. Slowly he comes to the realization that the rebels are fighting for everything he agrees with. But where would he contact one to join? Wolf continues walking as he lets the thoughts wash over him in the morning sun.

Even In Bekhaera nwo there are dissenters who wish to leave the planet to go to Duskhun to be with the new empire, 3 thousand loyal to Rifi are planning to flee onboard the space freighter Cold Sun in the next three days..but tensiosn are running high in Bekhaera in Vale Te & Bekha Vale traitors are being beaten up by neighbours even family members

"It was good," Rand said, taking the Emperor's outstretched hand, the head of the dragon etched on his arm peeking out of his rolled-up sleeve. "We have five hundred thousand soldiers en route to Vidinus Vi, five hundred thousand en route here, and a scouting party is currently in orbit of Vidinus VI, observing enemy movements," he states, his sparkling grey eyes staring down into Emperor Rin's. "Being tall is a gift," he thought, "when dealing with enemies, but a curse when meeting new allies." Many people associate height with power, and fear those that tower over them, and, Rand did just that. He towered over most people-those except of his own race, the Aiel.

"As commander of Menzoberethen's forces, I would like to know what exactly my people are up against, and how many allies we can count on, how many soldiers do you have, and where the enemy is likely to attack, so we can place our troops in defensive positions."

"The empire must be restored to its former glories... the cutting away of dead flesh from the body, cleansing a wound nearly a millenia old...restoring the greatness of the empire has alwasy been my dream but I tried to... I tried to in the name of the Empire, I gave everything and in return I saw bureaucrats and vultures take what they wanted from the empire and leave nothing behind...No more..the new empire shall surpass the great deeds Bekhaera ever managged... I understand your problem and wish for the empire to remian united but we believe we have gone pass the point where any amicable reconciliation can take place, I am sorry, the High Guard of Bekhaera is rallying troops as we speak and they plan to take this nation by force...we must launch the offensive first if not we shall lose our right to rule" Praetor Konin Rifi said as he palmed the touch pad on his desk, it lighted up holo images of Dushkun and Bekhaera, two worlds far apart but united by fate

In Bekhaera

"Sir vessels approaching Bekhaeran space...they bring a message of alliance..its...the sith sir" private Alans shouted

"Sith... there are few of them who still see us as friends... many have chosen to see us Jedi lovers...they offer alliance but will not fight againt the Federal Union...hmm I see... Tell them to dock at space station Minerva for talks" replied the Emperor

Private Alans relayed a message to the new allies

IC :

Upon receiving the confirmation from the Bekhaerans , Commander Devis ordered his flotilla to change angle and head for the space station Minerva to dock when he felt a icy and cold hand on his shoulder . Turning 180 degrees , he immediately saluted when he realised that it was Sith Lord Tyranus who was the one who the cold and icy hand belonged to .

"What is the status , Devis ?"

"We have just picked up a Jurian fleet not too far away . They appear to be rebel sympathisers . We are also moving my fleet to dock at a space station designated by the Bekhaerans. "

"Excellent ! The Bekhaerans should receive ample aid in no time . As for the Jurians, send a message to them telling them that we wish them no harm BUT tell them not to interfere in Bekhaeran National Matters ."

"Yes my lord ."

Then Darth Tyranus turned and left . Commander Devis sighed in relief when the uncomfortable presence of the Dark Side was near him . Then he opened a com channel to the Jurai Fleet and sent a holo message :

"This is Imperial Task Force 0402 from Imperial Outpost 0402 .We are here to assist the rightful Bekhaeran Government in crushing the Rebels . We also wish you no harm but advise you not to interfere in civil matters of Bekhaera before things get messy . "

Several Hours Later ...

Upon docking to the space station , the massive bay doors of the Imperial Star Destroyer and her escorts opened as thousands of Imperial Clone Troopers , Vanguard Troopers and Droids poured out with their equipment , backed by Tanks and Armored Walkers , as they surrounded a lone MT-XT Elite .

The MT-XT's door opened and Darth Tyrannus , escorted by a company of Dicter Warrior Commandoes and Commander Devis . The Dicter Warrior Commandoes were expressionless , their face hidden by gleaming white full body armor .They were the elite of the elite in the entire Imperial Army and Navy . They were trained to react swiftly and quickly with brutal and ruthless power packed with agressive firepower from their numerous and powerful weaponary and equipment .

Darth Tyrannus strode forward as he prepared to meet the Bekhaeran Official who was waiting to receive them ...

OOC :

Sorry for the late reply . I was away for a camp .Anyway if you want the stats of my ships/troops/vehicles/battle droids ,simply request and it will be answered ...

The Minerva station was on high alert, it was war now, officially and the Sith had just landed onboard Minerva to make quick preperations fro the long journey

Admiral Vensis, comamder of the station Minerva walked forward to meet Tyrannus...a figure who seemed to cut through the entire allied soldiers just with a glare

"Good day Tyrannus welcome to Minerva, we have been given orders to supply you with various equipment for Dvinus VI and alos to provide system maps of that are and of Bekhaeran space territories, the fleet must leave for Divinus VI within a day, any questiosn"

the Bekhaeran High Guard wasnt only interested in ships of space..they knew the tiem had coem to return to the seas..the aquatic destroyers were their secret weapon... no one would suspect this

The remaing ships of the High Guard had just entered the fringe of this system, the High Guard had now amassed at least 300 ships of their own... with at least 200 joining the rebels

"Darth Tyrannus... the representative Scholar Findus has arrived form the planet blow and shall now speak with you" Vensis continued as he escortd the Sith to the conference room

OOC


erm, two things; that Divinus VI, did you mean Vidinus VI, or is this some new planet. dont mean to be the typo critic here, just wonderin. again, dont mean to be a typo critic, but when you say alos...do you mean also? (you can thank my English teacher for this....she made me OCD with typos)

*tag for posable involvment*

The Minerva station was on high alert, it was war now, officially and the Sith had just landed onboard Minerva to make quick preperations fro the long journey

Admiral Vensis, comamder of the station Minerva walked forward to meet Tyrannus...a figure who seemed to cut through the entire allied soldiers just with a glare

"Good day Tyrannus welcome to Minerva, we have been given orders to supply you with various equipment for Dvinus VI and alos to provide system maps of that are and of Bekhaeran space territories, the fleet must leave for Divinus VI within a day, any questiosn"

the Bekhaeran High Guard wasnt only interested in ships of space..they knew the tiem had coem to return to the seas..the aquatic destroyers were their secret weapon... no one would suspect this

"Darth Tyrannus... the representative Scholar Findus has arrived form the planet blow and shall now speak with you" Vensis continued as he escortd the Sith to the conference room

Darth Tyrannus strode forward and after listening to Admiral Vensis , replied :

"Of course , my ships are eager to jump into battle . We will leave for Divinus VI tommorow once our ships are fully refuelled and re-armed .Now , let us proceed to representative Scholar Findus for the briefing , I presume ."

Then Darth Tyranus turned and left . Commander Devis sighed in relief when the uncomfortable presence of the Dark Side was near him . Then he opened a com channel to the Jurai Fleet and sent a holo message :

"This is Imperial Task Force 0402 from Imperial Outpost 0402 .We are here to assist the rightful Bekhaeran Government in crushing the Rebels . We also wish you no harm but advise you not to interfere in civil matters of Bekhaera before things get messy . "

Sub-Space transmission to Imperial Task Force 0402:
This is Rear Admiral Haruto in command of 1st Jurai Strike Force.

By the order of Lord Kazuki Kakiyo, our forces are siding with the New Empire in Dushkun until Bekhaeran Government surrenders and Sith’s forces leave Bekhaeran Space. Any further negotiations on these conditions must be conducted through Lord Kazuki.

P.S.

According to my information, Jurai’s forces have superiority in this sector, and personally I would advise your forces to withdraw. There is no dishonour in keeping your men alive.

Reply to Rear Admiral Haruto :

We certaintly do not want to risk war with another nation due to our current military statistics . We have many fleets abroad , and have several flotillas and fleets nearby and we are authorized to call them for reinforcements . We also have no dishonor at all for killing your troops .

Findus was pacing up and down his room awaiting the call to meet Tyrannus, that call came

Findus donned his robes and entered the briefing room hwere Tyrannus was standing, gazing out over the Planet Bekhaera and its triumvirate of moons

"Lord Tyrannus I presume, I am Scholar Findus, King of Vale Te, although that title does seem odd for oen like me, a man not native of the planet yet the oldest there...you are here to discuss this war and our strategy I see?"

In Divinus VI

The city of Carkapeth was being bombarded by ground troops, the Bekhaeran froces there fought back with the aid of their mobile suits and fighter jets but were outmatched by the use of the rebel Gundams... the Bekhaeran withdrew from the city and surrendered to the forces of Konin Rifi...the rebels had acquirred their first planet in conquest...they were a true empire now

News had reached Praetor Rifi suddenly, his face lit up with manic glee

"so Vidunis VI feel to our forces... the gundams worked perfectly as I had planned, soon they will coem to us and this war will be taken to both our worlds... and this shall eb the day of the devil, we shall create a hell more beautiful than the decaying heaven, ready my fleet, we head to Via Purifico...I must speak with my brother... he must be with me" Rifi said as he gave the order to head to Via Purifico, a system divided by two races with Bekhaera rling the majority, the planet Via Purifico was backwards but held great power deep within, Rifif needed this but the planets guardian..was his brother

Darth Tyrannus was observing the battle map when Scholar Findus entered

"Ah , welcome Scholar Findus, King of Vale Te . As you said , I am Darth Tyrannus . As we speak , an Imperial Fleet is on the way to provide further assistance . And you are also right , we must coordinate the war efforts to mount a cooperative counter-offensive to defend Divinus VI . We must not let it remain in rebel hands for long ..." before he could continue , he was rudely interrupted by a young Ensign .

"Sir , fleet intelligence has reported that Divinus VI has fallen to Rebel hands , using technology known as Gundams . The Bekhaeran forces have retreated ."

"Order all ships to double time . We must leave soon to retake Divinus VI from rebel hands . Meanwhile send 2 Scouting Pickets to Divinus VI under cloaking to do some light recon ."

"Yes sir !" with that the ensign hurried off .

Then turning to Scholar Findus , he continued

"The rebels have just taken over Divinus VI with some Gundams . This must not happen for long . We must mount a quick counter-offensive to retake Divinus VI or the rebels would have a full foothold . I have also ordered 2 Imperial Scouting Pickets to do some initial recon ."

Several Hours Later (Fluid Time) ...

The 2 Imperial Scouting Pickets , light , swift but packed with loads of Sensor Arrays and Recon Equipment appeared out of hyperspace 60 klicks away from Divinus VI . They were in the optimal range for excellent recon information .

Once systems were brought to life , the ship's cloaking generators activated , cloaking the ships , thus making them almost impossible to detect , even with the newest Sensor Arrays .

Then they switched on their Advanced Sensor and Data Arrays as well as Deep Penetration Holo Recorder (DPHR) and started getting infomation updates about the Rebel and Bekhaeran force's position and size .

They also started recording live footages of the action and transmitted all the data via Encrypted Imperial Holonet to the Task force as well as the approaching Empire Protectorate Starfleet .

"Gundams" sighed Findus, it was his proposal to strengthen Bekhaera that led to the creation of the Gundam units, he thought that they would not be needed so they were removed from Bekhaera and hidden away..it seemed those charged with safekeeping the gundams had sided with the rebels

"Hmm it seems we must make haste, im sorry but woudl your troops and ship be ready to leave in 12 hours now, time is of the essence..war is afoot and I must protect the emperor" asked Findus staring into Tyrannus' eeys, eeys that long ago were compassionate and full of light but now shone a sense of urgency and lust for combat, to prove oneself, he had not seen that lust since the old days

6 hours later

The Station Minerva was going nuts with frenzy, the vessels were ahead of schedule and needed only the order to go from Findus and Tyrannus

"Tyrannus... For this mission will you spearhead the attack, you have control of our entire fleet, 300 vessels in all" Findus said to Tyrannus as he embarked onto the ship Imperial Chimera

"the emperor shall meet up with us later on , i will wiat here till his arrival till then i bid thee well"

Just so you know, my own forces aren't just sitting there doing nothing while the hours go by. However, I am currently not making IC posts because:

1) I am currently in the middle of working something out wih Mationbuds.

2) I am currently VERY busy with my degree work, and don't have much time for role-playing anyway.

So, I hope that you won't mind me catching up on all those "lost hours" when I'll make my next IC post.

Ooc: DW bout it man, i revising right now, so i juts manage to coem on here and type up quickly

and hope the mationbus thing is orite

"the emperor shall meet up with us later on , i will wiat here till his arrival till then i bid thee well"

Darth Tyrannus sighed upon hearing of the rebels betraying the trust of their superiors .

"Sometimes , unsatisfied military personnel do more harm than civillians . Anyways , my fleet will be ready to move out in 6 hours . My fleet combined with your 300 ships will make an excellent fighting force . Plus over 200 ships in the Empire Protectorate Starfleet , we will have a total of around 600 Ships . I would also like to appoint Bekhaeran as a second-in-command , later to be second-in-command with me when Darth Bane takes over . "

"Now I have to proceed to my flagship , where we can carry on the dicsussions if any . And if you would , we would proceed there to discuss our counter-attack with you and the second-in-command , which I think you should already know who's best to take that job ."

"whatever could you mean Lord Tyrannus" asked Findus, "Please explain to us who ths could possibly be trying to tell us"

"whatever could you mean Lord Tyrannus" asked Findus, "Please explain to us who ths could possibly be trying to tell us"

IC :

"What I meant was that for now I am the First in Command . I would like you to appoint a Second in Command , prefrably a Bekhaeran . When we join forces with Darth Bane , he will be the first in command and your appointee and I will be the second in commands . Get it ?"

Meanwhile (OOC: actually, before six hours long timeskip), Lord Kazuki and his escort returned to their respective ships, and the following message was transmitted to the New Empire’s government:
This is Lord Kazuki Kakiyo in command of Jurai’s forces. Tell me where does Praetor Rifi needs us.”

"I understand...our choice is Admiral Bentis of the fifth High Guard fleet, he is a perfect example of our militray training, he shall lead our fleet" replied Findus

Bentis was in the command centre on Minerva before he was summoned to the ship bay to meet Tyrannus and Findus, a sith lord and a mere Bekharean meeting...this truly was times of great peril

Meanhwile In Dushkun

"Tell Jurai that their fleet must head to the planet Divinus Vi to help head off the attack of the Sith... and tell them to keep the core of their fleet in the Delta Crii System... not far from Bekhaera...the Bekhaerans believe this system to be useless..we see otherwise...from there we will strike the homeworld.." Rifi declared to his Scholat Falkov

Transmission to the New Empire’s government:
So Praetor Rifi wants us to split our forces? Then I need information on approximately how much forces does the New Empire and our enemies have near Divinus Vi, so that I could determine how many ships to send in there.

"We have at least 500 ships in our fleet, not bad for less than weeks worth of rebellion , our numbers now consist of 5 million soldiers galaxy wide, 2 million of these will be ready for war in Divinus VI" replied Praetor Rifi,"the fleet must be divided as to lull the enemy into a flase sense of security"

Falkov then spoke to the Jurai, "What would you say we do, their forces will arrive in that sector very soon, our forces head there now to reinforce the intial taskforce"

Transmission to Praetor Rifi:
Your plan seems sound, Praetor Rifi. I will go to Divinus VI personally with thirty Jurai Battleships and eleven Cortosian Cruisers to confront the Sith myself. Meanwhile, the remaining seventy Jurai Battleships under command of Rear Admiral Haruto will go Delta Crii System to prepare for attack on Bekhaeran Capital. I have also heard you have Freemen or your side, haven’t you? I would suggest that you don’t forget to include them into the plan (OOC: you might wish to send Garindi a telegram to remind him that his presence is needed); they are among the best ground soldiers the Universe has to offer.

After the transmission, Jurai’s forces proceeded with the plan: 30 Jurai Battleships, 10 Cortosian Cruisers, plus Viola and Kotori would jump to Divinus VI, switching to sub-light speed at the planet’s high orbit; while 70 other Jurai Battleships would jump to Delta Crii System, stopping within a few minutes jump from it, and awaiting further orders.

"I understand...our choice is Admiral Bentis of the fifth High Guard fleet, he is a perfect example of our militray training, he shall lead our fleet" replied Findus

Bentis was in the command centre on Minerva before he was summoned to the ship bay to meet Tyrannus and Findus, a sith lord and a mere Bekharean meeting...this truly was times of great peril

Rifi declared to his Scholat Falkov

"Excellent . Your candidate will no doubt be a inspiring a good leader ."

Several Hours Later ...

Darth Tyrannus strode down the ramp of the Lambada Class Shuttle and warmly shook the hand of Bekhaeran Admiral Bentis . Then he moved on to the more pressing matters at hand .

"Admiral Bentis , it is a pleasure to have you on my team . We must work closely to ensure that the rebellion does not suceed . Now , let us prepare to move out . All the ships , both Mationbuds Imperial and Bekhaeran have both been pre-flighted , rearmed and refuelled . Now let us proceed to our flagship , the Eclipse SSD , where we will depart for Divinus VI . Along the way we will discuss the battle plans ."

Then leading the Admiral to the Lambada Shuttle , he sat down and buckled himself in . Then the shuttle took off for the waiting Super Star Destroyer ...

Praetor Rifi responded to the Jurai question with easd

"Yes we have Fremen here, they wait our instructions and they are battle ready, I have contatced their marshals to tell them to head towards the vessels awaiting their arrival and transport to Bekhaera & Divinus VI"

OOC: just contatced Garindi

Meanwhile In Bekhaera

"Very well lord Tyrannus, My fleet shall follow and we shall prepare tatcics, we should arrive in Divinus VI reasonably soon according to our information" replied Admiral Tembis as he gazed at the sith lord, "The rebels now control that sector and seem to be strengthening up, we have no idea how many vessels they have..we fear it is a great amount"

In the Via Purifico system a ship containg ancestiors of the legendary Palmer, Fairfax were dealing with the aftremath of a mini war between the colonies and the natives, leader of the triumvirate of high Guard vessels was a young man, his surname was Rifi

He was the rebel emperors brother and the key to creating a new empire, the only thing was...his ships were ready to fight his brother... and Via Purifoc had been abandoned and the colonists returned back to Bekhaera ready to colonise other suitable systems

Rifi, Palmer & Fairfax sped towards Divinus VI to help fight off the rebel armies his brother had amssed

Halfway Through Hyperspace

Darth Tyrannus had received news that the Empire Protectorate Starfleet would arrive out of hyperspace 20 miles away from his fleet but at the same time . They would then combine to form a massive flotilla that could hopefully obliterate the pesky rebels .

Then he replied to his second in command , soon to be same as him .

"Excellent . My fleet will merge with Grand Admiral Darth Bane's fleet as soon as my fleet emerges out of hyperspace . When your fleet emerges soon after , you may wish to similarly merge or fight in close formation or fight alone , but with our support and coordination . What do you have in mind ?"

Several Minutes Later

The ship shook violently as it emerged out of hyperspace before moving to close formation with his 0402 Battle Group , which as one moved towards the newly emerged Empire Protectorate Starfleet and combined to form a full Fleet or a Massive Flotilla , up to what you want to call it .

Then he flew over to a nearby 19km Vessel , a Eclipse Class Super Star Destroyer , which was Darth Bane's flagship to discuss the battle plans . Meanwhile Darth Bane had ordered his crew to charge up the Superlaser and the other SSD's superlaser , which gave them a total of 11 Superlasers . Then he commanded that his ship's superlaser be fired twice at low power at the Rebel Fleet . Each shot still had the power to destroy a Star Cruiser or Star Destroyer (1.6km plus) to nothing . They were meant as a deterrent from any attacks ...
