Upon recieving the message from the Xiscapians, all available Captains and Generals reported to XNHQ as asked. Leading the way was Admiral Bennett, who had stepped in at the last moment to replace the origional choice. It was not a bad swap.

The mixture of Captains included men and women, Veterans and Beginners, Illesians and Danaversians. It was a true mixture and represented the entire Alversian People. Each Captain also brought his First Officer to the meeting in order to provide a more experienced view in the upcoming talks.

Krystal stepped forward. Xiscapians present, aside from the guards, included Dom, the Master General of the Xiscapian Grand Army, Robs, Kommander of the Xiscapian Shadow Operations, Skyler, Head of the Mechanized Division, and Kartosh, Commander of Space Station Protector. Also included in the background was Vist and Drell, Govenors of two Xiscapian owned systems, and Jimp, one of the best fighter pilots in the Navy. All the Brass was there, crowded into the War room. Krystal stepped forward to a small space cleared at the front of the room. Her tail flicked nerviously. Xiscapians do not like confined spaces, but it was neccissary. She spoke. "Friends, Allies, Commrades, we are gathered here today so we can unveil our plan of attack. As you know, our Armada is a huge, tough fleet. However, the North Calaverans have extremely powerful laser cannons which can destroy a capital ship in no more the two or three hits. Also, we are low on fighters. If what we have seen, that each ship carries 300 fighters each, is correct, we will will be facing anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 enemy fighters. Combined, our fighter forces are about 4,000." A holo screen illuminated blue behind her. "The following data holos are top secret, meant only for the people in this room."

"The North Calaveran Homeworld is called Celestis. We expect it to be very well defended. They don't know that we're coming, so we will need to strike hard and fast at the heart of the planet. We're looking for the Capitol city so we can capture it and force them to sign a defeat treaty. If worst comes to worst, we'll blockade their planet. As I said, we're expecting heavy resistance, so that's where our secret weapon comes in." The door behind her opened and out stepped a Korr. He was dressed in the Captains uniform of Korrilia, and had a plasma rifle by his side. He spoke in a deep, gravely voice. "Do not be alarmed. I am what you know as a Korr. During and after our war with the Xiscapians, refugees fled from Korrilia to Xiscapia. They took us in and hid us from our own people. We knew that if it was found out that some defected, we would be hunted down and killed. Also, there were some POWs who did not want to go home to the war-torn, choatic place that was our homeworld. While this choas was going on, we stole ships from our brothers and smuggled them back to Xiscapia. A population of about 1 Million Korr now reside on Xiscapia. These North Calaverans disgust us, and, because Xiscapia is now our home too, we will fight for it." Krystal spoke once more. "We have assembled the Korr craft and several other odd ships we have aquired into a small fleet. This is known as Fleet 6, or the "Salvage Fleet" to some of our Spacers. Again, this is meant for your eyes only."

The 6th Fleet
The 6th Fleet, referred to jokingly as "The Salvage Fleet" is a fleet of a dozen ships that is part of the Xiscapian Navy. These ships are all ones that have been captured/found/bought by the Xiscapians. It concists of a dozen diffirent ships.

Alien Battlecruiser, except green colored (http://www.space1999.net/catacombs/main/models/hawk/imhawk3.jpg) Named Rock

Infected Breeder ship: Named Pure
Crew: 1
Armament: 30 plasma cannons
Hangers: Can hold 5,000 troops, has been cut down to make the Breeder smaller and faster, now holds 2 Scout Ships and a frigate
Role: Recon
The Pure is a large transport craft given to the Xiscapians during the Korr war to seal a pact made between them. It has been modified extensivly, and is a worthy adversary in the right hands.

"While the main Armada attacks Celestis, the 6th Fleet will lie in wait several light hours away. Should reinforcements arrive or any craft attempt to escape, the 6th Fleet will engage them. They will also serve as our reinforcements if things get truly ugly up there. In addition, 500 Korr soldiers will be fighting with us on the ground, with another 500 in reserve for mop-up and/or reinforcements. The Xiscapian first 3,000 soldiers are the first wave, along with 150 Mechs. Once the system has been secured and the ground battle gets under way troopships will jump from Xiscapia with 12,000 (120 troopships) soldiers, for holding the city and to serve as the 2ed wave. Any questions or comments? Please do, input is valuable."

Admiral Bennett thoughr for a moment before speaking

"With regards to fighters, although we are outnumbered we have proven our superiority over their own pilots. Numbers do not concern us. The big NC ships are more than a match for a Deadnought, perhaps even a Super-Dreadnought, but I feel that Illumination will be more than equal to any threat our enemy possess. Our troops are mostly Marines and therefore to dispatch them to the surface in too great a number might leave the fleet a little low on internal firepower"

He looked at the assembled Alversians, Xiscapians and Korr and smiled "Old Friends and Foes united in the face of adversity. We are ready as always. When do you propose we move?"

Krystal spoke. "Anywhere from two weeks to 1 month. We need time to prep the ships and soldiers, and any more time and they may strike again. I'm sure that we will suceed in space, but it's the land battle I'm worried about. We have little infomation on their troops and vehicles. We're hacking records from captured NC ships and trying to get information from their soldiers, but we're having little luck. On a side note, the Super battleship Gloom Walker will be backing the 6th Fleet to give them a little more firepower. Our Super Destroyer Jade will be attacking along with the Armada. It and the captured North Calaveran ship should be able to destroy a North Calaveran ship in a single shot with their superlasers. As for other ships, we recomend two or three ship concentrating all their power onto one North Calaveran ship to prevent it from firing. Once we get the troopships in Shadow Ops shuttles (Robs nodded his head) will be dispatched to the surface to assassinate key leaders and help with the general battle. As for their fighters our Cruisers and gunships will be committed to destroying them. Any more questions or comments?"

Bennett shook his head satisfied "There is nothing left to discuss I think. We shall depart and prepare the troops for battle. However, we have one slight disadvantage. Our marines lack any combat vehicles, naturally being ship-based, they have no need for them. That may result in a disadvantage once we hit the surface"

Krystal nodded. "I understand. 150 LAM are being sent with the first assualt. In the meantime, train your men to learn to use our old "Hellstone" assualt tanks. We also have some "Jumper" FAR vehicles. If you train your men in these, then we will have some more firepower. We'll send 200 Tanks and 400 FAR via dropship to meet your men on the battlefield of the first assualt if you so wish. Also, because the NC fighter numbers are so huge, we have created some assualt drones to help out in the fighting. Under such short circumstances the drones aren't the best, but they'll hold their own against the NC fighters. They are lightly equipped, with only duel laser cannons, thrusters, some moderatly good A.I., and a comm. They know some good battle formations, and our people and your people can command them. We've got about 1,000 of them right now. By the end of the month we expect to have 3,000 of them. I suppose that's all. We give you a month."

Bennett nodded his thanks "I will train the Marine assualt troops to use the armour then" he thought for another while "Are we aware of what they have present in their homefleet? Other than that, I think it's time the Marines recieved a bit of extra training"

Krystal shook her head. "We have no idea. We only have the location of the system. None of the soldiers brain's we picked though had any idea of what the defenses are or what the homefleet is. It could be anywhere from 5 to 50 of these ships. We're well prepared, but we're going up against the unknown. We've sent drone scouts to the system, but none have even got a glimpse of it. All have been destroyed the moment they arrive in-system. Anyway, that is all for now. We'll keep you updated. Dissmissed!"
There was no sound of scraping chairs, as Xiscapians use hover-chairs to sit in, but there was the sound of feet on durasteel as the Xiscapian Commanders and soldiers filed out. A few stopped to talk to Krystal about tactics and the battle plan. Krystal called out while she still had everyone's attention. "The Operation will be called Freedom's Light. It is top secret. It will comense exactly one month from today." Then she went into her office with several Xiscapian Commanders to discuss more.
OOC: This is a purely hypothetical situation, as a "what would we have done?" kind of thing. It's just for fun, and will not effect any RPGs, past, present, or future.

Like I said in the other Thread, I frigged the names up so here are corrections

Strato-Dreadnought: APS Light of Hope (Flag)
Super-Dreadnoughts: APS Electra, APS Element, APS Effective
Dreadnoughts: APS Talon, APS Cutthroat, APS Candle, APS Tactical, APS Careful, APS Terrible, APS Nova, APS Nighthouse, APS Nightengale

OOC: Hey, I'll be editing in just a moment, you were talking to William on one of your ships and training your Marines to use FAR jumpers and Hellstone tanks on Xiscapia.

OOC:I was, why? What do the FAR's look like?

OOC: Well, interigating is probably the better word. Trying to find out why he and his armies and warships are here, attacking me. FAR stands for Fast Attack Recon, and they are named that for their ability to coil special springs in their tires and leap into the air, enabling them to bypass pits, craters, rivers, and other such obsticles. They are mounted with either a anti-vehicle missile launcher, a machine gun, or a grenade launcher on the back. They look like Warthogs from Halo.

"Ready? FIRE!!"

The FARs opened fire on the targets over a mile away. A nearby Colonel monitored the Marine's progress with his scope and nodded with each explosion

"Perfect, Gentlemen, you are improving. Now let's see how your quick defense skills are!"

A Xiscapian Mech, on loan from the Army, arrived at the trainign grounds deep in the plains of the Xiscapian Countryside and started to randomly fire at the FAR's. Their pilots were forced to duck and dodge and turn to avoid the fire. The Colonel smiled at their antics

"We'll have the first Marine Armoured Division yet, Lads! Keep it up!"

Xiscapia Orbit

"FIRE!!"

The Light of Hope trembled as the ion cannons along her hull were fired in sequence, aiming for an old hulk off the ship's bow. The rest of the Alversian fleet were in similiar training exercises but it was the Strato-Dreadnought that would do the most damage.

"Time!" Admiral Jones ordered

"Two minutes fifteen, Sir!" an Ensign called from below his bridge

"Not quick enough!! We have to hit these Explorers with all we've got before they have a chance to hit back! RELOAD!! I want two minutes maximum from start reloading to full firing!"

"Yes, Sir!" the Admiral's orders were quickly relayed down to the ion cannon turrets.

"Two minutes, fifteen" The crews groaned as they heaved another round into the big guns, sweating like mad after the hours of practise beforehand. They knew there would be no break until they'd broken that 2 minute barrier.

A holographic image of a GOU sparked and vanished in a puff of smoke as five seperate laser blasts connected with his chest. "Good! You're getting better!" cried Sgt. Keela as the Marines reloaded. "You'll be ready to take on the humans in no time!"
Space, near Jomstar...
A lone asteriod shattered into flaming fragments as energy beams struck it, melting the surface and boring though, breaking it apart. A flight of Shuriken class fighters flew past the spiriling bits of stone. "This is Gray leader, target has been destroyed, minimal ammo drainage, returning to ship." The flight, trumphit with their victory, did a few loops and barrel rolls as they flew back to their Carrier.

3 Probe fighters screamed towards the Shuriken squadron.

"Oh shit, break formation!" screamed the flight leader. Fighter three was annilhated in a flash of fire. The rest of the fighters powered up shields and weapons and spread out, intent of avenging their dead comrade. Back on the Carrier gunners on the AS guns and Ion cannons began to target, though they were too far away to be effective.

The calaverian who smoked the Xscipain fighter smiled, he broke off with the rest of his crew they screamed back into the blackness of space( There is a Observer that is cloaked), they then turned around and out of no where hoards of probe fighters(300) screamed out of the hangars.

The fighters did evasive manuvers and made it back to the Carrier, which sent out a distress call and opened up on the fighters with it's AS guns and Ion Cannons. Relatively near to the location a battleship began to make for the Carrier's position.

"Move into position!"

Three Z-Class Battlecruisers decloaked and headed for the Explorer. discharging their own fighters as they headed for battle

OOC: He's cloaked dude, but you're welcome to send out your fighters to combat his.
IC: The Carrier moved closer, as it did it opened it's hanger doors, 100 combat drones poured out and engaged in combat with Calaveran fighters, their single powerful laser cannon and flight being controlled from the Carrier by pilots. The Carrier opened up with better accuaracy on the fighters with it's AS guns and Ion Cannons. Meanwhile the Battleship drew closer, but it would still be several minutes before it reached it's destination.

OOC: They can see the fighters, that's what they're after.

The XX-30's spun in and around the Calaveran ships, the pilots testing their reflexes and the fighter's manourverability to the limit, the three Battlecruisers closed in around the carrier to act as a cover while they fired randomly into the darkness, hoping to get a lucky hit

On board Observer " Insight"

A officer approached the captian " Sir, enemy fighter craft closing in, orders?" " Yes, revert half engine power to shields and the other half to the plasma ping, decloak and begin charging."

The monstererious white Observer appeared in the blackness of space, a humming sounded inside the Observer as the plasma ping began to charge.

The Probe fighters strafed around the Observers, hunting the xx-30's, A pilot yelled into the com " Here they come, shields up!"

The drones flew in and out of the Calaveran fighters with nearly as much skill and grace as the XX-30s. If Xiscapian CQC was poetry in motion, so was Alversian fighter piloting. As the Observer decloaked the Carrier diverted all power except for life support and some shields to it's guns and fired salvos at the enemy. Three drones ganaged up on a Probe, they fired with devistating accuracy.

The ship shook slightly on the bridge as the carriers guns impacted the shields, the probe fighter was ripped apart by the incoming fire, the Probe fighters began baiting one fighter so that they could come from behind and hit them.

The drone took the bait and went spiriling after the Probe fighter, lasers flashing. Elsewhere the battleship got closer and nearer, crews began to prep to fire on the Observer.

The three Z-Class Dreadnoughts fired on the Explorer with their experimental pulse cannon main armament. It was far more powerful than even the ion cannon before them but it was extremely unstable and untested. Even so, ity should have more effect on the Observer than traditional weapons

Meanwhile, the XX-30's flew with all the grace and precision that thousands of hours practice and combat experience would allow. They dodged and weaved between the various drones although losses were suffered from sheer numbers, the Pilots were having a field day and impressive scores were being racked up.

The Officer comed the captain " Sir, 80% charged, readying weopon, were diverting all none essential systems to the shields."

The Probe fighters contiued shooting at the Alversian and Xscipain fighter wings, the probe fighters began to form groups, one probe fighter would let a fighter follow him, while the other blasted him from behind.

The drones soon caught on to the Probes tactics and would let one of them be drawn in, only to have another further out behind them to blast the Probe trying to get on the first drones six. The drones were much smaller than a fighter, and fairly fast, so they were irritatingly hard to hit. The Cruiser continued it's fire, but after the Alversians fired five HAMs flew from the hanger and made for the Observer, flying though the huge dogfight and staying away from the Observer's plasma ping weapon.

The Alversian pilots weren't stupid enough to be drawn into the tactics of the Probes and instead of charging at the lone fighter, they dove in to attack the main groups, using their more manoueverable fighters to get an advantage

The Probe fighter retreated back to the perimeter of the Observer.

On Board
The tactical officer ran up to the captain " Sir, weopon charged,were aiming at the Alversian dreadnauht, opening fire" The weopon discharged buring up anything in its way, which sadly were some probe and xscipian fighters.

The shot hit the Dreadnought, rocking it from side to side,but after a few minutes, it was stilll there!

"Shields...holding at 81% Sir!" The Tactical Officer cried out in disbelief

The three ships continued to pound the Explorer with pulse cannons and missile fire

OOC: :confused: How did you not just die from that? Or at least be damaged?
IC: Some 7 drones were destroyed in the energy blast, they were down to 36 of them now. The HAM got to the Observer's plasma ping weapon and began to hammer it with duel energy blasts, rail gun fire, and missiles. Anything to prevent it from firing again.

OOC: my most powerful weapons appear to be having no effect so why should his?

OOC: Ah. That makes sense.

The officer sweated " Shields 20% sir, what do we do?"

the captain was pacing up and down the bridge, he hit the holo link to the ships speakers, " This is the captain speaking, were going to abandon ship, everyone head to the hangars for emergency beaming"

"Sir! They're abandoning ship! What will we do?" An Ensign cried

"Give them twenty minutes, then fire Torpedoes" The Captain ordered.

The captain opend the hangars, sending out hundreds of people into space, he also began the self-destruct system, setting, 1 minute.

The HAM and remaining Drones got the hell out of there, leaving behind the wreckage of drones, Probe fighters, and XX-40s. They quickly landed at the Carrier. By this time the Battleship arrived and kept it's guns trained on the ships exiting the hangers.

"Three...two...one...Sir! Time's up!" The first officer of the Zacorious cried out

"Fire all bays, immediately, target areas of the ship that will not be used for an evacuation" Captain Fieldings ordered

The Zacorious, the Zendomar and the Zetedious all fired a full spread of thirty torpedoes, targeting the bridge and weapons systems but avoiding the hangars and recreational areas

The Observer exploded, pieces of it flamed around in cold space...

Aboard the Carrier Eclipse...
Captain Ren shook his head, his tail twitching nerviously. "That was too easy...far too easy. Something's up."
In the hangers the HAM and remaining drones returned, the drones settling back into their racks to charge energy. The pilots that controlled them carefully inspected them for damage. While all drones started out a dull gray, many pilots painted and adorned their drones with decals and mottos. One was bright orange and had the words "I'M BEHIND YOU" printed on it in huge letters. Another was as dark as the middle of a black hole, with two red slitted eyes painted on it, glaring at you. Still another was artfully done with the Alversians flag and the saying "Freedom ins't free" stenciled on the side. The little combat A.I.s inside fell asleep once again.
Battleship Alversia...
All the guns were trained on the few ships that had made it out of the Observer. A tractor beam extended to capture them and a general broadcast was sent out to the enemy:
Do not resist and you will not be harmed. You are now Prisoners of War. Once inside our hangers step out of your craft, unarmed, and put your hand on your head.

The Battlecruisers cloaked again, hiding from view and vanished from the battlefield returning to Rio Casa to rest and draw up a report of the new weapon's capabilities

OOC: Bump for NC

30 Probe fighters were take into the hangar of the Xscipian vessel.

The fighters were surronded by Marines and SBAU, all aiming blaster rifles or missile lauchers at the ships. A Marine holding a megaphone spoke to them. "Step out of your craft, remove all weapons, and put your hands on your head. Resistance will be met with deadly force. You will not be harmed."

The doors opend and the men stepped out of there fighters, they set a self destruct on there fighters to go off in 10 mins.

The men were shunted to the other side of the hanger and kept under heavy guard. The fighters were ejected and would explode among the remains of the destroyed Observer. A Marine with Lt. stripes came up to the crowd of POWs, who were fenced in by a portable force field and had automatic lasers trained on them. "Which one of you is highest ranking here?"

A Officer stood forward " I am Armada officer Seth Wilson, i am security cheif"

"Get over here." The security chief was extracted from the crowd of POW and made to walk, flanked by Marines. The Lt. walked in front. "You're going to meet the Captain."

Seth walked with the Xscipians.

Seth was led to the Captain's office. The door hissed open and he was told to take a seat. The room was plain white, with a bed, a desk, a chair on either side of the desk, a lamp, a cooler, and holographic transmitter. The Captain, a young female of 32 years old with short brown hair, dark skin, yellow eyes, and black fur was sitting behind the desk. The door closed and they were alone. She leaned back. "I am Captain Lintel, and you, according to reports, are Armada Officer Seth Wilson, Security Chief. Tell me, why did only 30 Probe fighters make it out of the ship?"

Seth grinned and moved in closer " I don't have to tell you shit animal"

"Ah but you do, human." Lintel drew her katana and casually polished it as she talked. "You see, tourture is illegal in Xiscapia. We don't do it, beleive in it, or endorse it. However, we can do things to you psychlogically that you could never imagine. Within 48 hours we could have you a insane, pitiful animal, huddled in the corner, surronded by his own waste and filth. We don't need you. We've got twenty-nine more POWs. We can just keep going until we get what we want." She smiled as the blade gleamed.

Seth laughed " They dont know anything"

"It is of no concearn. We don't really need to know. Pure curiosity on my part." She set the sword down on the desk. "You can tell me and I'll let you go back and keep the crew off you. They thirst for Calaveran blood ever since the incident aboard the Lenin. You won't be treated well. Oh sure, you'll get food and water, and a place to dispose of your waste and sleep, but that's it. Otherwise you'll not have a moments peace. Unless you tell me. It is your choice, Calaveran. Make it wisely."

Seth became serious " I think my crew and I will take my chances, animal: he spat.

"As you wish." Lintel sheathed her katana. "If you will not help us for the sake of yourself and your crew, so be it." She pressed a button on her desk. In moments guards would be coming in to take Seth away. "Good-bye, human."

Seth became grey " Good-bye Xscipian " he began thinking of ways to get off this ship.

The Marines took Seth back to his fellows, who had been transported to the brig. The force field went up and thirty plates of bread and meat were beamed in, as well as thirty glasses of water. A single Marine patrolled outside, unalert and bored.

Seth entered the cell " SHIT!" he yelled the other men looked at him, they got up " lets see if we can get out, everyone push!" they all began running and slamming into the barrier.

The Marine saw them all slamming themselves uselessly against the red glowing force field and laughed until his eyes watered and his sides hurt. "You...fools..." he gasped. "It's...a fucking...force field." He sniggered. "You'll only wear yourselves out."

OCC: i will be back in like a half an hour or lese.

OOC: I gotta go anyway, can't say when I'll be on for a long period of time again.

Near the Xiscapian ship, the space started to twist and distort as a battlecruiser, previously immune to the sensors appeared right alongside. Her red tail indicated her as Alversian and a shuttle was launched with a fighter escort to land in the Xiscapian battleship.

Aboard was Rear-Admiral Landsey and Commodore Harris, both of the APN. They were interested to see how their new toys had gone down.

A message went out to the shuttle:
Alversian shuttle, what is your cargo and destination?

A message was sent to the Battleship

This is Shuttle XZ-23 carrying two ranked officers to your own battleship to meet with the CO.

OOC: Forgotten the ship's name

OOC: It's a Carrier actually, called Destiny, I think. Hell, I've forgotten my own ship's name!
IC: Shuttle XZ-23, please proceed to Hanger two. The XO will be there to take you to the Captain's office.
The sheilds went down to admit the shuttle.

The shuttle headed straight for the appointed hangar and landed safely. The two figures geeting out could not have contrasted more

"Rear-Admiral Stacy Landsey of the People's Fleet and Commodore Jody Harris of the Alversian homeworld. I understand you have taken numerous prisoners?" she said in her traditional, curt tone. The other, shorter woman just stood quietly behind, allowing her superior to do all the talking.

The XO was a huge, hulking, heavily muscled male with a closely shaved head, practically bursting out of his uniform. He spoke with a think Slint accent (ooc: think German). "Yes, we have captured thirty Calaveran prisoners. They have revealed no useful information. Would you like to meet the Captain first, or see the prisoners?"
OOC: Gonna be off for a while, be on later tonight.

Seth sat in his cell with the rest of his men, they were all sleeping. Seth sat in a corner with his helemt covering most of his face as it was tilted dow.

OOC: Gonna be off for a while, be on later tonight.

" I would prefer to see the Captain first and evaluate the recent battle" Landsey said stiffly "I think that would be the correct course of action?" she looked at Harris, who nodded in confirmation.
"Indeed" They waited for the XO to talk

The XO bowed. "I will lead you to her. Follow me." He turned and walked away, glancing over his huge shoulder to see if they were folloing.
Brig...
"Hey!" The Marine walked into the cell, with two hunter-killer robots guarding the exit. "No helmets allowed in the cell. Hand it over." He stretched out his hand to Seth as the hunter-killers trained their weapons on him.

Seth resisted " Fuck you animal!"

The Marine grabbed the man by the head, wrentched off his helmet, and threw him to the floor in one fluid motion. He then threw the helmet backwards, which one of the hunter-killers caught. "I mean it." He turned around and began to walk away.

Landsey and Harris bowed slightly and followed the XO. They had a few things to discuss with the Captain of this ship.

The two females were led up several turbolifts, up a flight of stairs, past some rooms, up a final lift and past two Marines into the office. The room was plain white, with a bed, a desk, a chair on either side of the desk, a lamp, a cooler, and holographic transmitter. The Captain, a young female of 32 years old with short brown hair, dark skin, yellow eyes, and black fur was sitting behind the desk. She rose as the two entered. "You are dissmissed." The XO bowed and exited silently. "Please, take a seat." She bowed to each. "Rear-Admiral Landsey and Commodore Harris, I am Captain Lintel, commander of this Carrier, the Destiny, which is part of the Home Fleet. Please, what is your visit about?"

Seth put his hands up

Brig...
The Marine exited and then the hunter-killers, which patrolled outside. The cell was now underwatch from droid eyes, cold and emotionless. The Marine grew even more lax, safe behind the force field and confident his robot guards could keep watch for him. He dozed lightly, his rifle resting against the wall, though one could not tell weather he was alert and watching or asleep though his helmet.

"Rear-Admiral Landsey and Commodore Harris, I am Captain Lintel, commander of this Carrier, the Destiny, which is part of the Home Fleet. Please, what is your visit about?"

"A few things" Landsey began "First of all Captain Lintel, you may remember that during the battle, three Alversian Battlecruisers participated in the fight and then disappeared. I would value your evaluation of their effectiveness"

"While our sensors detected their approach, this is not unusual, as we have calibrated out sensors and scanners to match Alversian ship signatures so they are not mistakenly fired upon in friendly space. However, the Calaverans were easily taken by surprise, and your strange phaser weapon seemed to deal great damage. According to our scans, their shields dropped from roughly ninty to twenty percent after the phasers impacted." She spoke more or less in monotone, allowing the barest hint of admiration into her voice.

OCC: that phaser isnt going to be effective anymore, that was a bit of a screw up.

Seth smiled " So, umm where are you taking me?

OOC: Nobody's talking to you. -.- I think the main assualt of the Calaveran homeworld will start soon. My hands are tied until Alversia get back.

OOC: Bump for NC

Seth began hitting his cell again " I demand to speak with your leader!"

The Marine, roused from his doze, glared at Seth. "You just saw her, shut up for a while, or would you rather I stun you myself?"
OOC: I think you should attack a colony. I've got one in the Cholk system, on a planet called Himp. Why don't you do that? Bored for some action here.

OCC: okay XDXDXD im tired of being on getting the crap kicked out of my forces.

The Observers Athena, Apophis, Prometheus exited hyperspace in the Cholk system, they went into cloack and began to head towards the planet.

OOC: Yeah, but just know that this system is only one system over from Xiscapia, and is almost as heavily defended. It won't be easy, and there's no guarentee you'll win.
IC: "We've got three unidentified blips. Wait, they just dissapeared. Cloaked."
Always weary for yet another pirate attack, the Traffic Control Center ran 24/7/365 ever since the colony had been established. The colony had a garrison of the following:
1 SuperBattleship(Gloom Walker)
2 Destroyers (Spike, Revenge)
2 Cruisers(Dark Star, Xiscapia)
1 Medical Ship(Silver Song)
1 Carrier(Harmony)
4 Corvettes (Starfire, Thirteen, Seven, Final)
As well as some 300 fighters, planetary defenses, probes, and drones. A Regiment of 500 Army troops and a few dozen Mechanized Division vehicles were stationed on the surface. A recon scout was dispatched to investigate the disturbance.

The ships were now in range to deploy fighters, they began charging their main cannons, diverting engine power to keep the cloacks enabled(they will ahve to decloack right before so they can charge it enough).

The little recon was admist hundreds of Calaveran fighters, and there was no doubt of what was happening. Cholk was under attack. The recon flew away to shadow the fighters.
Planetside...
Vist was awake. Her people were unsure if she ever really slept, and here she was, at 4:34 AM local time, as fresh and alert as ever. "What's the situation?" The Xiscapian's body was entirely covered in a smooth, form-fitting, black and dirty white suit, which left only her eyes, nose, and some hair exposed. She was a victim of a shuttle crash in the Korr war, and suffered terrible burns over 70% of her body. To this day she still underwent treatments for the burns, replacing the burned skin with healthy cloned skin, but the process was long and painful. The Commander of the Traffic Control Center spoke. "We have an estimated 900 Calaveran fighters, which would logically follow that there are three Observers somewhere behind them. We must dispatch our fleet to engage them in space. No fighting can go on near here, our planetary defenses aren't strong enough to hold back that many fighters." Vist nodded, seeing the logic. "Send a message to the other colonies, and one to Xiscapia. Get the combat ready ships out there now, and follow up with the ones that aren't. We'll need to push them back, and we'll need firepower."
The Superbattleship Gloom Walker, one of Xiscapia's only Supercapitals, was sent to engage and destroy, as well as the Destroyer Revenge, the Cruiser Xiscapia, the corvettes Seven, Final, and 100 fighters and 100 drones. They made a microjump and appeared out of hyperspace next to the Calaveran fleet. Immediatly the fighters and drones raced out to kill, firing lasers and missiles at the exposed Probe fighter flank. The Xiscapia fired all it's guns into the enemy fighters as well from the safety underneath the Revenge. Knowing the Observers couldn't be far, the Gloom Walker began charging its Superlaser while it's other weapons picked of fighters. The corvettes flew cover for the Gloom Walker, protecting her from fighter attack. The Revenge waited for the Observers to reveal themselves.

Carrier

Landsey nodded in approval "Unfortunatly, that fire power destabilised the ship's core. It won't be doing that again. I hope the cloak was effective?" She said casually.

Cholk

Amongst the Xiscapian defences were limited Alversian weapons. In orbit were the C Class Dreadnoughts Collapse, Catalyst and Cataphract with the F-Class Battlecruisers Freedom Forest, Ferocity and Fermentation in support. They were backed up by six I-Class Cruisers and nine A-Class Destroyers. The surface force consisted of a single Regiment of troops with 150 XX-30's groundbased and another 400 on the ships.

The ships instantly jumped into space and joined the battle. The fighters remained behind on the surface to intercept any raiders that broke through the net of Alvo-Xiscapian defences.

OCC: that's kinda of cheap to me that you can just bring in the alversian fleet as well.

OOC: That's over twenty allied Capitals to your three. :P Just respond to my attack, and I suggest you TG Al.

OCC: one sec.

OCC: that's kinda of cheap to me that you can just bring in the alversian fleet as well.

OOC: That's not an entire fleet, it's six capital ships and fifteen and smaller support ships, those aren't really big ships, the rest are part of the local garrison.

OOC: It dosen't matter, NC is still brutally outnumbered. You can always call in reinforcements, though, NC.

OOC: It dosen't matter, NC is still brutally outnumbered. You can always call in reinforcements, though, NC.

OOC: These are the X-0 Class ships armed with Ion Cannons and Broadside guns which have not proven to be extremely effective in the past. Although 6:3 should ensure a victory, there is nothing stopping you calling for reinforcements.

If it makes you feel better, this is new OoB for the Colony's Alversian Garrison

APS Ferocity Battlecruiser
APS Determination Cruiser
APS Icarus Cruiser
APS Impeneterable Cruiser
APS Apostle Destroyer
APS Amazing Destroyer
APS Acrobatic Destroyer
APS Attention Destroyer

That reduces it to 1 Capital ship, 3 cruisers and 4 destroyers. Better?

OOC: I'd ask NC. Just trying to keep the thread smooth. We were planning a battle because you were gone. I think we have three things left to do: Fight this battle, get your Commodore and Rear-Admiral to talk to the Calaveran POWs, and fight the actual final battle.

OOC: Sounds good :D

OOC: BUMP for NC.

Athena's shields were reduced to 67% from incoming fire, she fired her ping at the destroyer Revenge...

OOC: Cool
IC: The Revenge took the hit in full, the ship's shields were destroyed and moderate damage was seen in a huge black mark on the hull. Flames licked at the port windows and while not many lives were lost, structural damage was done. The Revenge quickly turned her back and escaped into hyperspace. The Athena now revealed, all fire not relating to fighters was conceantrated on the ship, and the Gloom Walker's Superlaser was almost at full power.

-fixed.

OOC: Bump

OOC:
BUMP for NC.

Athena turned tail and hit hyperspace in retreat, leaving the fighters to there fate. A pilot Scaren saw the escape and cursed his life " That son of a bitch!!!"

The troops on the various Xiscapian ships cheered. "The bastards are turning yellow! They're running!" Fighters and Drones took on the stranded Probe fighters with a vengence. The Cruiser Xiscapia isolated itself in the thick of enemy fighters, shooting with pinpoint accuracy or waves or destruction to clear the fighters away. The corvettes continued to cover the Gloom Walker, although the Final was mobbed by Probe fighters and heavily damaged. One engine was still working, and it continully fired it to keep it from drifting away. A single bow turret was still online, and fired inneffectually at the enemy fighters. The other corvette, Seven, flew in close to the other, protecting the Final viciously. The Gloom Walker's guns began firing randomly into space. They hoped to hit one of the cloaked Observers, thus finding it and unleashing it's Superlaser onto it.

OOC: BUMP :mad: for NC!!

OCC: this thread is kind of dead to me, besides my Calaveras nation was so crappy in terms of flexibility, it would be basically the same battle over and over.

OOC:
Well...
I didn't want to say anything but you're right.
They were really crappy.
There's no point in fighting anymore.
So this thread is officially dead.

OOC: And so it ends :D
