A soft voice coming from a brunet long haired soft skinned blue eyed female ran through the holo net her voice reverberating loudly through Holo-comns, she looked in to the screen starting to talk gently her hands placed on the marble like metal table.


“The Terran Federation Senate today with the support of president mike Logan, sectary of defense bester kayborn, And the Federalist party majority leader, voted in a resolution and an executive order 819, with a margin of 150- 145, a narrow margin but sufficient for the bill to pass. We shall go live to the capitol building in Union city for more details”


The screen suddenly switched to a view of a podium just out side a massive marble metal like structure a dome atop a massive complex of glass and white metal and roman like columns, this was the capital building in the heart of the city, thousands of skyscrapers , and massive towers peering In to the crisp blue sky around it.


President Logan him self stood at the podium adjusting his suit over him self he started to speak in to a sound device his voice crisp commanding , reverberating through out the complex .


“Good day my fellow citizens, foreign delegates.. ladies and gentleman , I am here today to explain executive order 819, we have found it necessary in order to better help the peoples of the alpha quadrant withstand and curtail a constant torrent and tied of piracy, terrorism, and other such criminal and unspeakable acts, that we must adopt a zero tolerance policy towards any power, any group and any individual who supports, and prosecutes these barbarity's . And as such this order has given the Terran military machine funding and extra power to prosecute enforcement of this policy with in Terran space and surrounding Terran space, any pirate vessel, base or persons caught in Terran space will immediately be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Terran ships have authorizations to use force to extinguish pirate ships or bases, or to invade pirate planets. We will no longer tolerate raids upon allied and friendly convoys we shall begin sensor sweeps of areas suspected to have pirate activity and if such activity is discovered we shall order the destruction, invasion/capture of that area by military means... in short I encourage other powers to do the same ... civilized nations must not fall prey to these barbarians, thank you... and good day”


The screen cut off, Logan had turned around putting his hands to the side of him, walking down the podium and in to a waiting shuttle several feet away, this rang out in to galaxy wide channels. Ships began preparing for their new orders, out in space near the border system of sohjin. The UTS Saratoga, a Saratoga class battle carrier dwarfed its task force, its massive form glimmering and shimmering in the orange glow of the system sun, the enterprise and the challenger at each side of it , several destroyers frigates and attack ships escorting them as well. Commander Malcolm ranger stood stiffly on the bridge of the massive 3.8 k m ship his eyes panning the massive holo screen peering out in to space, marine contingents marching in formation in their new Mark four general purpose semi powered body armor (GSPA ) and holding on to their ABR-20 assault rifles.


Malcolm smiled, he looked back in to the massive command center, officers working at their stations directly tied in to the ships computer, marines marching down the deck to security positions, Sohjin was close to the anagoian side of the border , it was also a sensor station to scan in to various border nations bordering both anagonia and the UTF. How ever the task forces mission was not to engage any hostile activity , but it was to jump in to mostly unknown space from that point, scans had detected activity in the area and several Habakkuk class freighters hauling ore to the nearest jump gates were never heard from again. This force was to find out what was happening to the mining facility, and the cargo ships. He raised a gloved hand looking at the holographic Terran ship merged tactical avatar and said with a commanding statement.


“Tell the fleet we're ready to depart and engage Trans void drive. All ship engage shields.. its time to see whats going on..”


The ships began shimmering out of existence glowing white and blue as they rushed in to spatial distortions ahead of them their forms and structure glimmering with angelic hues of light, but were any thing of the sort, they were bringers of war, death destruction, they could purge and scotch worlds at a few commands, or bring protection to their homes, they could end nations or bring life to them..


The commander sat down on a hovering leather like chair folding his gloved hands upon his crisp uniforms lap. As his fleet jumped out in to the dead of space, his eyes peering out in to the darkness all he could see was debris nothing but derbies. What happened he wondered in his mind processing every thing he was seeing. He noticed flaming bits of hull flying across the bow of his massive ship, the fleet beside him. It was like a massacre had happened here a complete and total massacre . Malcolm stood up and motioned his female XO, Tammy Lopez to his side along with several other offices, the Sargent at arms , the second officer, and the fighter command officer.


He began to converse with them Tammy speaking out before the commander did. Her soft brown eyes looking back to the monitor her uniform firmly and crisply pressed on to her form. Her long hair swaying as she moved her head.


“Commander I don't know what happened, but it seems to me this was more than pirates doing, but we cant be certain scans haven't picked up any other ships in the area or general vicinity yet..”

Malcolm sighed a bit placing his gloved hand to his chin.


“Your right, I don't like this what ever or who ever did this could be more than pirates, how ever pirates are known to have access to good weapons , but when the admiral briefed me he said that pirates in this area were a minimal threat, and they had access to only the most basic of weapons no match for terran defenses. Either he was wrong, or they got a major upgrade. Either or we need to be ready, and ready for one hell of a fight, I want you all to start preparing for boarding, defense and a general unfriendly armed conflict. Sargent, What are the status on the marine and troops we have on bored?”


The Sargent looked up at attention to the commander, saluting standing firm saying in response.


“Sir , we have them at 50% readiness, I can get them to 100% now if need be , ill assign extra details to sensitive areas and assign the most experienced assault and defense squadrons to full readiness status. In case we need them “


The commander responded with a nod looking over to the flight control officer his hands now to his side.


“Good now, I want squadrons on CAP missions starting as soon as possible, I want all the status of all fighter squadrons...”


The flight commander looked and nodded going to parade rest his hands over each other on his back side.

“Commander all 340 fighter and drone fighters accounted for and ready for launch, flight crews will be put on standby and squadrons alpha through- romeo shall be put on CAP duty two at a time cycled..”

The commander said “thanks” then returned over to his second officer who was standing in wait. He started to speak.


“Ok john, I need you to order the fleet in to close formation keep our asses checked, also make sure the new ablative armor deployment systems are ready for use, missiles weapons every thing got it?”


“Affirmative commander” commander the second officer said with a nod standing at attention., the commander looked back out in to the debris ridden space , he looked down a bit saying with a commanding and cold tone.

“Dismissed”

his officers then returned to their duties turning tail as the commander just looked up... in wait..

When the Age of exploration began this was one of the locations selected to be serched for life and things to learn only the Podcrafts sent to this area did not report it and no signs had been recived from them.

So what some would call a small fleet of three was sent to find them if fact to the Kewen and any that did not know this small fleet of three was easily able to wipe out a small battle group or large vessels as the ships dispatched were Battle pods monoligthic Cube ships with faces of 2km by 2km.

The Battlepods phased back into normal space right on target the "overshot" jumping being corrected the immediatly activated sheilds and Scanner jams preventing anything from activly scanning them and reciving useful info.

small bits of wreckaged clang agaisnt the black sides of the large ships as they scanned the area detecting few hips and things they would let the others make the first move the lead pod angled itself so one of its tips was aimed at the other large ship in the area and the tip split open slightly revealing a large Cannon barrel if you were looking closly

Open Communication to the Galaxy:

The Binarian Empire does not like Piracy, however, what it finds even more revolting is nations overstepping their bounds and declaring things that pose no real threat to anybody to be scum to be erradicated. In light of this new law, The Binarian Senate passed law S-38-56-A.5-Y, which declares that any Pirates seeking freedom and liberty may come to the world of Pelogisa. There they may find a safe port to carry out their ancient and sacred act.

-Binarian Ministry of Interstellar Relations


Dozens of Binarian pirate vessels flocked to Pelogisa, where they would re arm and resupply their ships and crews. One of the more Noteable arrivals was the Circiti's Forge, a Kurtz Class Strike Cruiser stolen from the Ship yards over Koral shortly after its completion. Her Commander, Decimus Octivus, was a former Commodore in the Binarian Navy however, he was dishonarble discharged for taking large bribes from the Union Aerospace Corporation and frequently diverted supply ships for carrying less than legal UAC cargos. However with this Amensty he has been able to return to his people for the first time in years. After getting a fresh supply of deuterium for his Hades cannons and plenty of weapons and ammo for his Marines, he took it upon him self, almost as if the Terran Declaration was set against him personally, to raid as many Terran colonies as he could before the shit hits the fan.

Onboard the Circiti's Forge, he was on the bridge, deep with in the hull protected by meters of Tugnsten-Titanium alloy, coated with ceramics and reflective plating.

"Gentlemen, we have our selves an oppurtunity to get rich, and have a safe place these Terran fuckwads can't attack with out facing the Binarian Millitary. I suggest that we hit Sohjin, or however the fuck you say that." His executive officer, Alphonso Franken disagreed.

"We should raid Botany B. From the name its clearly a farming world. So any disruption could be bad for the entire Terran population. Making them hungry will make them quicker to surrender their cargos."

The rest of the officers at the meeting decided to hit Sohjin, on the basis that it isn't a low blow like attacking a food supply world would be. The fact that farmers don't have much money also played a factor. The rest of the crew went back to their stations and the message shot out to all crew off the ship via their PDAs, formerly standard issue from the millitary, to return to the ship. Several hours later with the last of the supplies loaded, the ship requested permission from the Port Chief to disembark. "Circiti's Forge, you have ago for departure."

"Thank you, we are disengaing docking clamps now."

The Circiti's Forge left the dockyard and activated its FTL drive and disapeared into the twisting, black and red tunnel that opened up in front of them. In the engineering section, the techs watched as the large arms came down over the portal emitter. as they locked into position, what looked like heads and necks of humans swirled between the arms circlular pads. This twist swirling pattern was sucked into a rifts opened on floor and cieling. The resulting energy burst pulled the ship through the depths of hell itself. If one stood close to portal when the portal was activated he could almost hear the screaming and moaning of that horrible place of unspeakable evil. The ship rematerialized in the Sohjin system....

Klaxon's rang as the proximity alarm blared through the command base orbiting the small mining outpost at soh jin, the commander of the base gripped the rail in front of him his eyes peering up in to the darkness of space watching as the unknown ship moved in to position.


He looked down and over to a tactical avatar that was depicted as female hologram, he said with a loud commanding voice to her.


“Go to yellow alert all shields up stand by weapons , tell the Reliant to un-dock, get me communications to that ship!”


The system was now only protected by the brand new ship the UTS reliant a small but heavily armed attack ships a hand full of fighters, and gun ships. The small 180 meter ship un-docked from the star base, its gravimetric engines powering up as it maneuvered at full speed clearing the large ring, the commander of the Reliant was 23 year old James Kingston, a new graduate of the captains academy. The small ship maneuvered at high speed along with a few gun ships and SA-40C's by it side in a wedge defensive formation.


Lotus pods in the system maneuvered to point at the new incursion, their small yet powerful forms obviously on the defensive.


The station sent out a general message the commander speaking out.


“This is the Terran Star Base 201, to unknown ships, identify your selves immediately, you have violated Terran space if you do not identify yourselves we will have no other recourse but to fire.”


The message was sent, the monitors lit up with the binarian message , it seemed rather odd that suddenly after a declaration such as that, that ships would suddenly start appearing in Federation space, it was fishy to say the least both James and the station commander new some thing was up, how ever they would play it cool. Soh jin was a mining world it was very rich in resources its surface was a cooled mantel after the accident that turned in to a barren world hundreds of years ago, it became a mecca. It was originally intended to be a thriving colony, it was class M with water forest and a moon. But in their attempt to move the moon the company responsible for colonization ended up with a small nearly mercury sized world instead.


Now only defended by a heavy attack ship, a group of fighters and a gun ship, it would be tested by fire. The Reliant it self was untested in combat, with new systems its deployable ablative armor, new torpedo's and over powered engine core and engine drives it would be one of the pivotal fights in its class history.

OOC: I'll respond later. I've gotta big thunderstorm heading my way, some I've got to shut down my computer.
