All across the planets of The American Privateer, ships loaded up with people. 200 YT-1300 Freighters loaded up with people, and tesseracted to New Shiloh, ready to become part of the Exodus. Behind them came 69 Gallofree Medium Transports, configured to hold Civillians and Cargo. 54 Hospital Ships joined them, along with 361 Morak Orbital Cities. The Fleet of The American Privateer joined them there, along with New Tortuga itself, filled with 1/5 of the population of The American Privateer. The space stations of The American Privateer also arrived, taking on the maximum number of people they could. All in all, the entire population was eventually able to crowd aboard these ships, knowing that their World Devastators would build more modules for the Space Stations at the next stop. After two days of prep, they moved out, going straight to the first uninhabited system they knew of.

OOC: this is my entire population up and moving out, good luck trying to find us, because by the time you do, the entire planet will be covered by Neutron mines.

It's a tad wanky to up and evacuate your entire population to avoid being invaded, you know. And also something that does you volumes more harm than good.

OOC: Oh, I understand that it will do us harm, but we have no other choice but to go into an exodus, plus, we spent days doing this, and our people live their entire lives knowing that they may be forced to go into an exodus at any time. While settling down is preffered, our population can be mobilised quickly.

IC:
saved for when two RL days have passed, give opponents some time to try and find us.

I mean bad in that these invaders you mentioned coming in and blowing your evacuating fleet out of the sky. Bad in that your economy no longer exists because no one is working for this four week period, and they have to start over building infrastructure when they arrive to their new planet. That kind of bad.

OOC: Yes, I understand all that, but New Shiloh was chosen as the first planet because FTl and Subspace signals do not get out of the system, it is isolated. Also, our first choice is an uninhabited backwater away from any of the nations waging war right now. And as for our eceonomy, most of it is stuff that can be done even with us on the move, as we have bio-ships under construction. So yes, for four weeks, we will be low on resources and funds, but once we have everything done, our economy will be back up and running. Also, I am going to rework it, so that we haven't reached our first place yet, not till two days RL have passed.

Well, you may do as you please. Envaribly this is just plain silly and if I were one of those warring you, I would have found this glorious Homeworldesque fleet of yours and probably carved big chunks out of it by now; you may be running away with your entire population, but that doesn't mean people can't chase after you. Also, You seem to have ... no knowledge of economics. You cannot STOP all economic activity and expect to be back in business four weeks later. It just doesn't work that way. Also note infrastructure: unless you've built up your old infrastructure (hospitals, roads, stations, powerlines, that kind of stuff that makes society possible), your people will be down on a new planet living in straw huts withouth television. You can't just get around these problems you know. But as I said, you can do as you want, I have no reason to try and stop you other than helping you not look like a git.

OOC: I shall deal with those problems as they come. Till then, I shall continue RP'ing. I know that I will have to rebuild again, but we do have one thing on our side, the Asteroid of New Tortuga, it is fifteen miles in diameter, and is in fact our homeworld.

(Electron, what you're doing is nitpicking. Sure this is unrealistic and whatnot (the hell do I know?) but can't you just enjoy the story? He's not hurting anybody.)

OOC: Thanks Cass

IC:
Refugees, saved from a world chosen by the Wraith for harvesting, started pourng in. Shuttles were launched from the vessels around the world, hauling the reugees back from their doomed world.

Jack Ray was torn, he knew that he had a responsibilty to help these people, but at the same time, knew that he would not be able to take all of them with the Exodus Fleet.

"Order the Hrothgar's Forge to begin stripping the moon and build Passenger Modules and Vic II Solarcarriers. Modify those ships so that they hold people in stead of fighters."

As the people flooded in, he started to pace, hoping the ships would be ready in time.

As the final day before the exodus was winding down, the vessels that would take the people to their first stop finished their boarding procedures. People were crowded aboard, and assigned rooms as they came.

Not everyone would go with the Exodus though, some had determined to stay behind on Washington to controll the resistance there, tieing up enemy forces for as long as possible. They left through the Stargate, and went to the place of what would be their last stand.

After they passed through, the Stargate was beamed aboard New Tortuga, where it met the Stargates of the rest of The American Privateer 'Gate Network.

5...4...3...2...1...Engage

The exodus fleet activated their Tesseract drives, and made their way to the first stop, arriving with their characteristic yellow-green explosion. The energy emminating from the tesseract dissapated in the clouds that surrounded the system.

THey arrived at their next stop, a dead system, with a single white dwarf located in the center of the star.

Asteroid Miners where located all around the planet, to assist in the creation of the necessary Passenger Modules, Greenhouse Modules, Bio-Ships, and Retribution class Frigates (OOC: the star ship you start off in on KOTOR).

As the first day came to an end, a command module, three passenger modules, and a retribution class cruiser had been produced. The First Bio-Ship began production, a vessel that woul drequire the full attentin of the World Devastator.

The First Bio-Ship was finished, and the organic materials started to grow. The three towers each held large numbers of plants, while another long and low portion held a large number of fish, cloned from reserves inside some of the colony ships. The naturally nitrogen rich excrements from the fish tank where used to feed the plants, which in turn provided roots for the fish to eat, creating a closed system.

As soon as the ship was in habited, four passenger modules where built to go underneath, along with a command module and a small fighter module, just to be safe.

Another Bio-ship was finished, along with the set of four passenger modules established for it.

Turning to Defence, the World Devastator began churning out Lutjens class Destroyers, using them to help create a swarm of destroyers.

Another Bioship was being finished, as the World Devastator was building a group of Greenhouse Modules. as soon as these were finished, a new ship was created. It looked like some kind of Cathedral in space, built along the lines of the old Air Force Academy Cathedral. Inside, was a massive computer filled with the files containing the psyche of the population of The American Privateer. Also inside, where cloning facilities, complete with the Humanoid bodies available to the deceased to use for their ressurection.

This ship was a localised net, connected to everyone, and keeping them permanently logged on. Upon their death, their Mind and Ghost were loaded into the ship for transmission into a new body of their choosing, taking over as soon as the mind was developed enough to house thought.

OOC: here is an image of what it looks like. http://media.battlestarwiki.org/images/f/f8/211_004.jpg

"Sir, Everything is ready ahead of time. We finished the twin cloning chambers faster than we thought we would."

"Good, Contact Jurai, let them know that we might be taking up on some of their proffered hospitality soon."

The 2nd Fleet jumped to the present location of the TAPian Fleet.

"target the World devastor first, then the BioShips, and the Larger War ships."

The Fleet fired savlo after salvo at the World Devastor and after a bit they targeted the Bio ships. But Intead of targeting the war ships they suddenly jumped out system leaving a massive amount of damage in their sudden jump.

A few Minutes later they arrived on the other side of the TApian forces and they contuined their assult. They repeated this many times.

OOC: We have not given the co-ordinates to any-one, so there fore I am going to have to ignore your post as a God Mode.

The fleet jumped.

The Ressurection Ship was in the center of the fleet along with the Bio-ships. Allready, the crews of the vessels destroyed in the Mationbuds Deception were being granted Re-juvenation, and the new Humanoid Forms where being used for the first time. Several Scorpion-folk, Centaurs, Canids, and even some of the Angelic forms could be seen in the initial stages as the basic personality was downloaded in.

As sson as they where the equivalent of eighteen year olds, they would be released with the full mind of their first life downloaded into a new body.

Plans were also ready for the re-build of the TAP fleet. If only they could get those plans from the Huntarian Shipyards.

OOC :
Points at GM ... You cant have 36000 world devastators , for christ sake . The Empire had way less than that and you expect to have 36000 . Even I only have 2 . And note they are NOT capable of churning out SSDs .

Please change your WDs to a more reasonable number or I will ignore them .

No, the 3600 was left over from when I was figuring out population per ship. A world Devastator can hold 3600 people. I only have a single World Devastator. And where did I say they where churning out SSD's? I don't have the DPR's to any of those.

OOC :
Oh, pardon me for misreading it then . But do you know that they can be easily traced because they require a force spirit to control them ? Like Palpie's spirit was in the world devastators .

IC:

On the bridge of Super Star Destroyer Valiant

"Sir , we are picking up signs of activity in a somewhat remote area ."

"Hmm , send out 2 Patrol Pickets to check out the area ."

"Aye sir !"

The young ensign turned and ran off . Shortly afterwards , 2 lightly armed and armored Patrol Pickets were lunched from one of the Star Destroyers and headed towards the uncharted area to check out the activity signs ...

They would arrive to find two Libran Gunships had remained behind as a picket.

"Sir, we have detected a small group of vessels heading towards us."

"What class are they?"

"Not Firefly, if that's what you asking."

"Bring them up on screen."

"Sir, scanns are picking up an IFF Transponder. Mationbuds in origin."

"Target them with the long range batteries, wipe them out."

The Long Range weapons platforms tunred and fired on the Mationbuds forces.

50 Transphasic Torpedoes launched from each ship.

The first Patrol Picket was mercilessly destroyed by the incomming enemy laser and torpedoes with all hands lost . The second Patrol Picket's captain however managed to swerve and dodge most of the incomming shots . Most only nicked the hull or light shielding .

The picket quickly relayed an reinforcement signal to the main Fleet , who promised swift aid . The picket returned fire with their 20 Medium Laser Cannons capable of inflicting heavy damage .

They also returned fire with a miserable 20 Proton Torpedoes , which packed a tremendous amount of firepower .

Several minutes later , the first form of reinforcements came in the form of 5 Honor Class Gunships flanking a Carrack Class Light Cruiser . That was what the mighty Imperial Navy could spare at the moment .

The Honor Gunships detached from formation and moved forward to engage the enemy guships . From afar they opened fire with their Turbolaser Batteries and Ion Cannons . Upon getting closer they attacked viciously with their Laser Cannons while each gunship unleashed 50 Proton Torpedoes and 20 MauraderII Anti-Capital Ship missiles at the enemy gunboats .

The Carrack Cruiser also moved closer and pounded the enemy gunships unrelentlessly from their Turbolaser Batteries .

The gunships read the signals and jumped via warpspace to the planet of Shortall, and the moon of Botany Bay.

The targeting sensors on the Prison Moon activated and tracked the Gunships.

"He he, this should distract the fleet for now."

Meanwhile, the rest of the fleet had arrived at a secondary stopping point on the other side of the galaxy.

The fleet arrived in Planet Jurai space, and sent a communique to the leader, the Empress Ayeka.

"Your majesty, we are leaving our people here for now. Our fleet shall leave our civillians in you capable hands."

And the Combat Forces jumped off to New Dublin.
