the fleets compastion

50 kuja strike frigates
100 sephrioth misile frigates
50 shiva orbital frame transport ships
50 star destroyers
1 super star destroyer


coms to alied Kiribushi we shal fight side by side

the Kiribushi Shogun, Admiral Misa Tanegashima was in the flagship as it approached the Imperial fleet.

She only needed the one ship for this meeting and the double hulled Shiro would do the job.

"this is Admiral Tanegashima of the Kiribushi defence fleet and the leader of my people. I wish to speak with your commanding general about the part Io will have to play in this war"

star genereal zane star wind comed them meat me aboard the fear of th empire

"understood. I'll beam over shortly" the Admiral replies.

using thrusters they coast to the 'Fear of the Empire' and the admiral beams over with two female samurai armed with swords and a plasma pistol each.

the admiral wears a red kimono, the paired swords and her hair in a long pony tail.

her guards are dressed in the standard all red trousers and jacket of the Kiribushi fleet.

four heaily armed black sqaud soldiers stand ethir side of the star genreal
he says i am star genreal zane star wind his sword the masamune was straped to his right hip the 10 foot long dia katana gleemed follow mee to my ready room he said

Admiral Tanegashima and her guards followed General Starwind to the meeting room.

she hoped that the meeting would be productive and let them prove their worth to the Empire.

genreal zane thew his head back to get his silver locks of hair out if his eye once he got in his ready room varoius weapons could be seen on the walls he remoed the masamunes scabard and sat behind his magohony desk and said high comand have requsted you help us in this fight as welll as us using this space as a staging aera

the Generals ready room wasn't that much different from her own.

Admirial Tanegashima took a seat and replied "we can do both quite easily and our warriors will appreciate the chance to fight since we'll be defending our world when the rebels do come here.

You have your staging area and the planet is certainly big enough for a fleet and an army"

he glared and said excuse me a second i need a pep up. he tapped a code on his desk controll pannel it reveled a cold storage unit.

whitch contiand some vials of purple fluid and a hypospray.

he took a vail and the hypospray out and loaded it and shot it into his neck.

the Admiral nodded and saw the purple phial and hypospray.

"General I assume thats medication" she replies

the admiral nods and says "I won't tell a soul but I've never heard of that viral weapon before"


###

On board the Shiro the XO, Samurai-Commander Kaede Tomito was informed by her tactical officer of contacts emerging from warp.

"its multiple Arms Tech ships and one of them is the rage of the Corporation" she's told.

"send this information to the admiral and Imperial flag ship and raise our status to yellow alert. if the intelligence is correct Arms Tech is now part of the rebel fleet" Commander Tomito says.

the message is sent and the Shiro raises shields in case there is trouble.

coms from dear of the empiires bridge to genral starwiund enemy vessesl in bound

return coms order the fleet to red alert and i shall be thier soon

bumpeth

Admiral Tanegashima sighed and replied "i'll better get back to the Shiro before things kick off and hopefully we will have another chance to talk later"

she bows and leaves with her guard returning to the Shiro which then went to red alert..

ok lets see if those upgrades were worth the time wer were out of action highgaurd fleet formation esplisionad fire phasers on my mark said the genreal

the Shiro's tactical officer gave the admiral her assessment which wasn't good.

"they vastly outnumber us since we've only got 10 starships in Io. i hope the Imperial fleet can drive them off" she says.

the Kirisbushi never liked depending on others but this time they had no choice..

mark the entire fleet opened fire

on boars the rage of the corpertion
taticial what the hell is hapening
the tatical ofcier said the high gaurd of the empire is here shit two battle barges destroyed the kilian moon and the hope of the corperation arm weapons they want a shooting war they got one ace snaped

Field Aquila Asa Kodomo was also on the bridge, her pregancy now showing.

still she wasn't afraid as the bridge rocked and when she looked at the tactical readout she reported "sir, the Kirisbushi ship isn't doing anything against us. they're heading back to the orbital dockyards"

tatical why is thier flagship stillintact order the orbital frame runners to get ready to launch eye sir and contact home base to see if any refenforcements are enroutr aye

coms to home base refenforcements requested

on board the rage
targer the the empire ships

fire was returned from the surviving Arms Tech ships as the Shiro slipped away from the battle.

On the Kiribushi flagship the signal went out to the 10 ships of the Io defence fleet that were available. some were laid up for upgrades and repairs and others were on long range patrol. these were recalled but it would be a while until they got home and the signal even reached them.

the Tenpeku and Kurraka class cruisers prepared to slip their moorings and take position on the other side of the planet ready to fight if they needed to.

shields holding sire said the tatical ofcier 2 transwarp portals opening zane grined and said her comes the cavlery
2 more fleets exited trans warp heading the first fleet was the doombringer coms to advance fleet we thought you needed help ok fleet form up battle line formation

within 5 minutes of the first shots being fired the Kiribushi were ready as 5 tenpeku class cruiser and 5 Kurraka class cruisers followed the Shiro to the other side of their planet a few kilometres away from the battling fleets.

Admiral Tanegashima knew her best chance lay in a surprise counterstrike and now equippled with imperial cloaking devices they could do that. she sent instructions in code four to the ships and they moved off in two packs about to strike at the flanks of the arms tech vessels when the time was right.

code four was brand new so it couldn't be cracked just yet and the Admiral was counting on that.

the bridge crew of the rage said shit the empire bought some serious reenforcements cloak and wait for the rebel fleet

the Kiribushi fleet also cloaked on command and worked their way to the rear of the SAT fleet. this way they could attack when they had a target and also catch the rebel fleet as it came out of warp.

they were very good at waiting..

the rebel fleet arived the s.a.t lot looked disgusted 20 deamon class stealth cruisers 12 blade runner class attack cruisers and 2 arkangel space carriers and aslo 2 rebelion class deadnoughts

Admiral Tanegashima on the cloaked Shiro sent out a disguised transmisson in text to the imperial flag ship.

"the rebels are here and we are ready for them. what do you want done with them?"

coms ever here of the wooden horse of troy covering barrage so i can hull the rage ho a commando team can get a board

these Kurakka class cruisers being the old model still had the powerful plasma cannon.

an order on Kirisuban code 4 went out and and they moved into weapon range of the rebel fleet.

1 closed in on the Rage and the other 9 lurked round the rear of the newly arrived fleet before they uncloaked, opened fire on rear of the formation with their plasma cannons before they re-claoked and dived under the formation and retreating.

the ship briefly decloaked, fired their on target plasma cannon at the Rage and cloaked again before they could be targeted. it also took evasive manovers so any return fire wouldn't affect them.

###

on board the Rage's comm station Field Aquilla Kodomo picked up the brief transmission to the Kiribushi fleet.

"sir, the Kiribushi are up to something. they've sent a coded order out but i've never seen this code before" she said to Ace.

prepare to repeal boarders arm the tryants said acr cocking his side arm


the empire strike team lrft in a stealth sneak assault shuttle

Asa left her comms station and headed down to the lab where the tyrants were.

she prefered to use the four small ones and checked over their mini guns before activating them.

as the muscle relaxant wore of they woke up as she felt the ship shake. and the red alert signal going off.

the 4 kirisuban tyrants now under her control they followed her around while she activated another 6 which would take slightly longer to wake up and give orders to.

when she had the 10 together then she could act..

fire 4 rkvs taget engenring section

the strike steam sneaked towards the battle barge

with the other ships in the rebel fleet forming up to take on the Imperial fleet the firefight soon started as the shields glowed on both sides.

the escort cruisers were also hunting the Kiribushi ships that they knew were behind them trying to cut them off.

the problem with the Sephrioth cloaking device was that no-body had quite worked out how to locate a ship equipped with one and now the rebels had to solve that problem.

as this happened a keen eyed scanner operator on the Rage noticed the strike teams craft approaching...

the stike teams shutle entered the gash in the hull 20 fully armed black sqaud soldiers of load

the alarm didn't go off straight away as the security camera's searched for the intruders but Asa had been alerted.

the other tyrants weren't up and ready yet so she took the 4 small ones with her as she left the lab and waited for news..

mini am nukes nuke anything thatisnt displayed as friendly on our battle net computers
com the fear to see if they are willing to shuttle over a swarmof arakind warrioprs for us

Asa heard through her comm badge that the black guard was now sighted and given their last location.

"Close of that deck, the crawl ways, access tubes and turbo lifts leading too and from it" she ordered the bridge and then alerted a SAT security team.

soon they would engage the Black Guard..

the bugs entered the crawl ways a swarm off 100 arkind warriors

with the ship on red alert already "the rage of the corporation" seemed secure as the fleets squared off.

the Kiribushi hadn't fired again and Ace knew they were there to cut them off rather than fight them.

###

Asa led her team to the lower deck where the Black Guard were with her 4 tyrants. she had never ran into Black Guard forces before but knew the Tyrants were tough enough to deal with them.

she was totally unaware of the bugs crawling above her head and already into the crawlways. they would make the difference in the assault.

SAT security teams were on alert all over the ship protecting engineering, turbolifts and the bridge as well as other vital systems and junctions.

mini nukes screamed comado leader one front and centre the mintue they comm in nuke em

the bugs atatcking the bridge achieved total surprise and minced the SAT security people and bridge crew

some of the bridge crew escaped but not many and now the bugs held the bridge.

the comms officer was one of the few and as he rode the turbolift to the lower levels he knew he had to find Asa since she was the next ranking officer..

yes the bugs have secured the brige said the team comnder request some mere to be beamed from the doombringer aye sir sai the coms operative


ooc my cargo hold has a 100 of em in each ship contained behind force feildes 500 are being beamed to engenring did ace die

Ace had also escaped by climbing down an access port and closing the hatch while the slaughter continued.

for now he was safe but needed to get in contact with any survivors.

###

Asa seen the Black Guard and sent in her tyrants as they spread out wielding their mini guns. a burst of fire from the first one started the fire fight.

###

in engineering the battle was just as brief with the corpses of the crew scattering the area. However during the fire fight the main reactor was hit and it was leaking coolant which was overheating the engines.

if they problem wasn't fixed soon they would blow taking the ship with them..

simions fix the rngines rest of you mininukesand order the bugs in

with no-one to call for help just yet reinforcements would be a long time coming to the Rage.

when the mini-nuke hit the tyrants one was killed and the others badly shaken up. even Asa was injured by it and she was out of the firing line.

she slumped to the ground unconcious and without orders the tyrants were going to have problems.

###

with the engines stablised the big bang was averted. Effectly the Rage was lost and the rest of the rebel fleet had no idea of it as they traded missiles with the imperial fleet.

keep firinf wipe them out

a SAT ship shook and imploded as its shields failed and the engines exploded.

With no orders from Ace they just slugged it out with the imperial fleet.

lets finish this snaped zane now this it highguard assault formation gama delta 9 target all hotile ships execpt the rage for an rkv barrage

a second mini-nuke took out the tyrants without fracturing the ships hull and the Black Guard soon found Asa unconcious with a deep cut on her forehead and showing signs of pregnancy.

###

another rebel ship imploded and the Captain Zavious of the Avenger commed the Rage seeking orders.

bind her comandoes give her this he produced an vile of the tzx virus from his backpack wake her and inject her with it

all the rebel ships came under attack from special RKV missiles.

some rebel ships turned to flee and then the Kiribushi decloaked hitting them with plasma cannons although a few jumped to warp regardless.

the Kiribushi then re-cloaked and kept up the blockade.

doombringer here to fear me and the slayer of rebells will mop up the run aways


two ship minds peal of

the sqaudie gives her a stimulant nap times over rebel scum said the rest of the sqaud training phaser assault rifles on her

Asa opened her eyes and tried to reach for her pistol before realising that her hands were bound.

"death is preferable to surrender" she replied thinking that she could have chosen better last words.

###

with the rebel fleet trapped and unable to jump to warp it was like shooting fish in a barrel.

Still they fought on. they knew they would see no mercy this day.

medic inject our geust with the insuranse policy
the bugs are pasifiyng this ship as we speak now you have been injected with the improved tz- virus strand x i give you 3 hours at the most to live but i have the antidote you will walk upto the brig and order the fleets surender

Asa felt the hypo press against her neck but she remained defiant.

"even if we surrendered I doubt we would see much mercy. you'll have to hunt the ships down one by one instead since I would never order my crew or the fleet to surrender in the first place" she said.

so be it give her the antidote high comand may want to try her for treason 12 low 19low powered stun shots hit after the medic injected the antidote

Asa slumped into unconciousness again as phaser fire echoed all round the Rage.

some bugs had got loose and were attacking crew members who in turn fought back as gun battles raged through the ship.

###

another rebel crusier tried to slip away and got pounced on by 3 kirisbushi ships loosing its shields and engines before it even realised that it had company.

leaving the rebel ship to drift they returned to their picket duty and re-cloaked.

###

Ace had seen the slaughter in engineering from his hiding place in the vents. knowing that the ship was now lost he knew needed to get a message out to the fleet to tell them to scatter. He was also worried about Asa who had only escaped the slaughter on the bridge because she had left earlier.

coms yes base under stood transfearing prisoner to the shuutle

right ten of you have to ttake this bag of crap g nufged asa with his powere armouded boot ro the fears brig

Asa was dragged away to the shuttlecraft facing an uncertain future.

six rebel ships made a break for it and in their weakened state they found the uncloaking Kiribushi ships too much to deal with.

they broke off into pairs and hunted down each ship as it tried to jump to warp. one escaped carrying news of the defeat as two imploded and the other four tried to fire back at the Kirisbushi ships firing blind at the cloaked ships.

###

able to tap the comms from his hiding place Ace had managed to figure out what was going on and that Asa had been captured alive. she put another powercell into his pistol and crawled down the ducts to where he knew he could intercept the Black Guard.

he dropped to the floor and set of after the 10 imperial troops.

the soldiers grined

Ace caught up with the soldiers and blasted the first one he seen into the next world.

he ducked round a corner as fire was returned and another firefight had started on the ship

###

(secret IC)

while this was going on the kiribushi had recieved a request to go looking for a secret weapon that some thieves had taken to Io. the Vengagun artillery was one of two made and it was assumed that the thieves were rebels trying to get it off planet.

colonel Arisu Nakamura was leading her team of 20 women in the search for this somewhere in the wastes of Io.

the sephrions were less the pleased from the info from the battle net

as the Kiribushi shuttles flew low over the planet surface, the Kiribushi troops readied themselves. they had their long swords on already and their plasma rifles were set on stun for now.

fnally the pilot of the lead shuttle picked up life signs a long away from any settlement.

they changed course to investigate..

###

Ace continued to fight the Black Guard as he tried to rescue his mate. the odds were getting better even as he fought and he picked up a sword from one of the fallen Black guard. With only 5 left he now had a chance.

now the leader thew a nereual disruptor grenade

Ace dodged round the corner and the grenades fall out only shook him up slightly. he shook his head and snapped off a shot to keep the Black Guards heads down.

he could still do this..

###

as the battle raged in space more rebel ships were slipping away into warp as the kiribushi had too many holes to plug. with only a few rebel ships remaining they also attempted an escape from the trap they found themselves in..

the n soldier ducked and trew a mini nuke grenade around the cornor
