Well now this is going to be fun ------------ Jager looked up at the glowing red button. Pressing it jager went on a station wide message system across his goverment. We the people of the Confederation Of Independent Systems have suffered a lot and i know as a leader it is my job to tell you that it is for the grater good. but sometimes it isn't. But what is going to be happining in the next fed days will be. God willing we will be able to look at the future very soon not with a fright of the Confederation's(bad guys) tereny but to a new hope. A better place for all of mankinds people. Should they be Black, White, Evil or good they will all have a home and a place is socity. What I will be doing in the next few hours/days is not for my own benefit. Its not for our goverments benefit. Its for all of mankinds benefit. I shal leave you now. But rember God is always with you.
(/speach :p)
jager looked around at the faces of his crew as the lisined to the speach. it wasn't the best in history but it got the message accros. Whatever that was. Jager thought as he told the commander to throw his speach righter into the brig and set a cource to meet the attack fleet in the Pelagon system. Have the fleet restock and refule.

Confederate 5th Warfleet--Capella 9 Cruisers Mk.II 20 Frigates 35 Prowlers 55 (+18 Carrier Based) Gunboats 25 (+36 Carrier Based) Patrol Ships 35 Darts
Grand Admiral Matthew Cunningham was somewhat amused by the latest message he had received from Prime Minister Ipvicus. He could hardly imagine what had possessed the mind of President Jager that made him think he could withstand the might of the Confederate Navy. After a few minutes of final preparations and course corrections, the 5th Fleet was under way.
5th Fleet Enters Hyperspace: Capella ----- > Zebetrious -----> Pelagon
When the 5th came out of hyperspace over Opal Jager's fleet was totally surpassed. It was his fleet that was supposed to be doing the attacking, not the Confederate's! After only a few seconds of delay the 9 Mk. II Cruisers of the 5th began deploying their fighters in a screen in front of the greater fleet. The Jadzian Rapiers, in an effort to try and get the Fed Cruisers out of the fight quickly, accelerated ahead to get into torpedo range while the main fleet came forward with more caution. Before the first salvo could be fired however they were set upon by a sortie made up of the 35 new Dart fighters, and about 10 Prowlers. Darts, while devoid of long range weaponry, were extremely fast and maneuverable, and the Prowlers were just plain armed to the teeth, while still faster than the Rapiers. With these advantages the sortie was making short work of the slow Rapiers, despite their heavy weapons payload.
The fighter battle, while one sided, would not last forever in its present state, both fleets were accelerating, and the Jadzian Lightning's were screaming forward to help their beleaguered companions. As the two fleets came together the Confederation Patrol ships took over fighting the Rapiers, while the faster Darts and a few Prowlers tried to keep up with the Lightning's. Now within weapons range the Fed Cruisers and Destroyers began unloading their torpedoes on the Jadzian Diemos Frigates, while the Gunboats concentrated their missiles on the Kestrels. Hammered by five times as many torpedoes as they could fling back, half of the Diemos Frigates started venting atmosphere as armor plating melted off and their hyperspace cores detonated. Only a few of the Kestrels succumb to the weaker attacks of the Gunboats, but that would not last long. 25 Prowler Corvettes swept through the fighter battle still launching heavy rockets before blasting towards the massed Jadzian capital formations. Splitting into groups of four and five the Prowlers launched there space bombs and rockets at the Kestrels, aiming for the juncture between the drive units and the bow structure the space bombs blasted through shields and hull plating and blew the mighty ships in half. The Gunboats, no longer needing to keep the Kestrels occupied, switched to backing up the other Fed fighters who were having a hard time against the many Jadzian Lightning's still fighting.
By now the organization of the Jadzian fleet was almost completely broken. Individual ships fought their own small battles for their own lives while the Confederates surrounded and eliminated them with military efficiency. 5 of the Cruisers and all of the Frigates, working in tandem, kept after the Jadzian Kestrels; While all of the Prowlers and Fighters, backed up by 4 Cruisers, entered the battle with the Lightning's.
As bad as the battle was going for the Jadzians, they would not be defeated yet. Rallying around Jagers flagship, the remaining Jadzian fleet made one last gambit for survival, accelerating straight for two of the Mk.II Cruisers anchoring the ring closing around them the Jadzians opened fire with all they had. Critically hit by particle beams and proton turrets one of the remaining Diemoses rammed into one Cruiser, while the other one exploded under the combined fire of the Jadzian fleet. They had escaped, for now. ----------------------
Watching the Jadzians retreat, Admiral Cunningham ordered his ships to hold back and regroup. The Jadzian licked their wounds, and Admiral Cunningham kept a close watch on the sensors to make sure he wasn't jumped by the massive Lethean fleet. In order to make a quick retreat to Regulus if need be Cunningham ordered most of his fleet to move to the opposite side of Quake, while he kept a few Darts on CAP to make sure the Letheans didn't surprise him.
Confederate 5th Fleet 7 Confederate Cruisers Mk.II 14 Frigates 28 Prowlers 61 Gunboats 38 Patrol Ships 27 Darts
Jadzian Fleet 1 Confederate Frigate 8 Kestrels 3 Diemos Frigates 16 Corvettes 29 Rapiers 109 Lightnings
"Corsair" Mercenary Battlegroup==Deneb 25 Kestrels 60 Corvettes 120 Rapiers 120 Lightnings
Nova was standing on the bridge of his ship when he heard the news that Pelagon had been attacked. After a pause of grim silence, he imedietly ordered the departure of all his ships.
Engines hummed to life and dust flew in the air as the fleet blasted off from Deneb. The Lethe fleet was not far behind.
Merc. Battlegroup enters hyperspace: Deneb ----- > Tryvin -----> Regulus -----> Pelagon
Now, since the Confeds suspected them, it would not be an easy pass through Regulus. As they hypered through, 3 Lightnings were lost to Confederate gunfire, but no others.
Soon the fleet hypered into Pelagon. Almost instantly the fleet went to work. The Rapiers and Lightnings formed a wall, and then let off with Heavy Rockets. The wave of rockets pounded the Confed fleet, destroying many ships.
Meanwhile the Kestrels and Corvettes surrounded the Confeds imedietly, sealing off their escape route, and incasing them in a ball of weapons fire. The Jadzian fleet also helped, and the Confeds were outnumbered by the merc. fleet alone. So with the combined strength of the two fleets, they were able to keep the confeds trapped. And soon the Lethe would arrive.
But victory does not come without a price. The Confeds had strong ships, and many merc. ships were lost.

OOC: Ipvicus, don't count out the Deimos of a battle that quickly. Only 3 Deimos warfrigates left? Give me a break. There'd be at least 5 warfrigates left and would really beat up your fleet. And btw, it's Deimos, not Diemos.
------------------
Carnotaur, upon hearing that the Pelagon system was under attack, quickly ordered the attack. "All warships, immediately head towards the Pelagon system and engage Confederate warships! I repeat, all Lethean, Mercenary, and Pirate ships; engage the Confederate fleet at Pelagon!"
"Sir, the mercenaries have already jumped out."
"Very well. Follow them immediately. They can't fight the Confeds for long...
The 7th and 13th fleet were quickly reorganized and hyperspaced out along with the Pirate fleet...
Deneb ---> Tryvin ---> Regulus ---> Pelagon
-------------------
Jumping into the Pelagon system, the huge Lethean and Pirate armada bore down on the much smaller and weaker Confederate fleet. The Morpheus Bombers lead the charge, releasing all their space-bombs into the midst of the Confeds before turning around and heading the opposite direction full-speed.
The wave of bombs hit the Confeds hard, practically annihilating the first wave of fighters and taking out many capitol ships. As carnage raged through the enemy fleet, the Jadzians and Lethean fleets (minus the bombers who were far away) charged in while the Pirates continued to hang back, providing support fire. With their new Deimos Frigates, the Letheans ripped through the still disorganize enemy line. Hundreds of proton bolts tore through shield grids and turned armor to dust. The forward firing capacity of the Deimos was practically unmatched, as was the Ravens power. Launching all their missiles first at the Confederate Cruisers only, the Ravens then began to simply massacre the enemy fighter wings. Their turning was rivaled by none, and with 6 Proton cannons, they could cause immense amounts of havoc. They were also incredibly well armored and shielded, and their lightning-fast regeneration rates made them practically invincible.
The Pirates now also charged in as the Confeds continued to take heavy losses. The Letheans also used a simple and effective strategy; if you are about to die, kamikazie the nearest enemy ship. Many Jadzian Lightnings and Lethean Rapiers met their end that way, ramming into the hulk of an enemy warship. One Lethean Corsair rammed straight into the bridge of an enemy Cruiser, destroying it and several enemy ships nearby in a huge fireball.
The Morpheus Bombers were now rearmed and ready to go, and charged into the Confed fleet as the other friendly ships backed off. Releasing the rest of their space bombs, the bombers caused massive amounts of havoc among the Confederates before they turned around and retreated full-speed. The bombs had been especially targetted at the Cruisers, one of which finally blew up as some Deimos Frigates moved in to finish it off.
The Confederate fleet was now not only horrendously outnumbered, but also outgunned and surrounded, and taking extreme losses to the combined fleets of the Letheans, Pirates, and Jadzians...

OOC: You see this is funny, I specifically said in my last post that if your mega-huge-alliance fleet jumped in I would retreat. Rework your posts to knock off about 95% of those losses then put my fleet in Regulus, or get branded by me as a dirty cheater, and the mod will void your posts entirely.

I can say the same thing about you with you intercepting our encrypted messages. But I'll edit.
Originally posted by Nova6: **I can say the same thing about you with you intercepting our encrypted messages. But I'll edit. **
If you would read you would notice that intercepting and decodeing are two totally different things. I never said I decoded any of the messages I intercepted. If I intercept a message I only know that you are talking to someone, I dont know what was said. The point is moot anyway because Jager told me you were attacking! Besides, if you knew anything about encryptions, you would know that any code can be broken eventually. Who do you think can hire better codebreakers, the Confederation, or an insignificant rim colony?

You are delusional. My Prowlers would rip you to shreds, then my Cruisers would blast the shreds into tiny peices... oh well I'l just wait for the mod to void all this crap.

My fleet alone out numbers you 325 to 175. Plus there's Jager's 100+ ships. If your fleet can cream a fleet 4x - 5x the size of it, then this webstory has it's power balance all wrong.
And besides. The Lethe and pirate fleet hypered in (b(very(/b) shortly after mine. You wouldn't have time to destroy my ships because they would arrive too soon.
OOC: Well Ipvicus, if you didn't notice, Nova's post took a rather small amount of time. Your prowlers and other ships wouldn't have been able to fight very long and thus casualties would have been light, and you wouldn't have been able to retreat. Why retreat when missiles and slamming into your face? Besides, the mercenary fleet arrived from Regulus. So you just want to ignore enemy fire and hyperspace out directly into the Mercenary fleet? How "logical". :rolleyes: Then, just about 15 minutes after the mercenaries started to attack, my armada jumped in, and tore you to shreds.
If Nova's post is revoked, then I'll just edit my post and have the mercenaries jump in along with the rest of my fleet and the Pirates. Either way, you loose.
Now, however, there are some things which can probably be done to fix this debate:
The mercenaries don't kill off one of your cruisers in the beginning attack Nova cuts a little more of the losses from both fleets in the initial attack
That way it explains that the initial strike took only a very short period of time before the Letheans and Pirates jumped in, and would better explain why the Confeds never hypered out; they were blocked, and before they could clear away the Mercenaries, the Pirates and Letheans arrived.

He had lost a lot of good men today and he wasn't about to let it happen. Opining a com chanel to Gnereal Rac he gave full command of what remained of his fleet for the duration of the battle. whall he went to the med lab to see about the piece of metel sticking out of his leg.
--------- OCC. I dont have time to post now and I'm confused. so I was attacked. just to say one point I would of inflicted more damage. Because my captains and such would of ordered there ships to become battering rams if they were sourounded(SP). Anyways thats just a mood point. thanks for not totaly wiping the floor this morning.

Luke looked out at the remaining ships of his fleet. He was proud of them. He also sincerely hoped that the Letheans would eventually pay him back all this money.
20m credits have been transferred from the NeoNetwork account to the Lethean account. Pirates at 17m.

Welcome Grunadulater, take a look at the bottom of page seven to consider where are your fleets and tell me what are your Defense Fleets (100M/capitals; 40M/coreworld; 20M/colonies) look at Skyblade's map to find the appropriate denominations. The new Rebel ship is the Warbird, a Mod Kestrel, with manta bay instead of lightnings and other stuff.
No more ships, because this is what happens and could become much more.

Carry on, but with all these fleets in one system, vaccum awaits some nations!
No way, until you throuroghly explain how you came up with this crap I am not going to accept this. Consider this webstory frozen unitl you have replied to my arguments with more than Carno's drivel.
OOC: Ipvicus, I'm sick of your sniviling, whining little self. Just accept a battle post for crying out loud. Now, if you want, we can just say you got a little beat up, and then we'll allow you to retreat. Now you're lucking I'm not raising a protest against the oh-so-unrealistic battle you fought the Jadzians with before the rest of the fleet arrives. If you're really so concerned about realism and such, give yourself a few more losses delt out by the Jadzians. Sure, long-range barrages are good, but a lot of the ships including the Deimos can easily make up that distance and beat the crap out of you. Of course, no doubt you will continue to whine until you have absolutely zero losses in all battles you engage in.
Mods; your opinions?
Oh, and Ne Demord Jamais; will you mind telling Grundy how much credits he has left?
Hmm... Although the webstory seems to be ground to a standstill over this, I'm going to post for Jager's fleet anyway. Maybe this will help?
Rak was engaging in computer simulated fleet combat when his military aide approached him.
ŇPrime Minister, Sir?Ó
ŇYes, Corporal?Ó Rak replied, never taking his eyes off the simulated tactical screen.
ŇWell Sir, we received a very interesting communiqu. The Commander of the Jadzian Empire personally asked you to take command of his fleet. As you are aware, his fleet is currently engaged in battle to rival even the Battle of Yemuro.Ó
ŇHmm. Well, link his fleet command hierarchy to my tactical station and IŐll take it from thereÉÓ
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
As Rak was plunged into the VR world, he noticed how well the battle was going for the Lethean BattleGroup. He immediately evaluated the fleet statistics of Jadzia, and determined that he would need to call in assistance from the Atinoda Design Staff. They suggested that a little known tactic be used, called the Kestrel Slam. They explained that the underbelly of the behemoth had been specially designed for expandability and flexibility, and hence was heavily reinforced. They explained ramming an enemy vessel at a precise angle would result in massive damage to the Kestrel, but much heavier damage to the other vessel. Rak was pleased, and immersed himself in the battle.
As the allied fleet converged on the trapped Confederation force, the remaining Confederation vessels fought back with a vengeance. Spurred on by their nationalism and duty to the survival of the Confederation, they fought tooth and nail for every kill. They used excessive tactics to wipe out enemies, even sacrificing themselves for the kill. However, they were unprepared for the revenge of the Jadzian BattleGroup. The Lightnings, now reloaded, viciously tore into the Confederate Prowlers with rockets and missiles, taking out many. The remaining rapiers used a flux formation to toss torpedoes on multiple vectors at the wounded cruisers. Meanwhile, the Corvettes began engaging the Confederate fighters, easily outclassing their poor quality foes.
During the heat of the battle, JadziaŐs three Deimos Frigates cautiously advanced to the rear of the Confederate lines. Right in front of the Deimoses were five unsuspecting Confederate Frigates who were engaging an aggressive fighter screen. At virtually point blank range, the Deimoses began pouring a prodigious amount of fire into the rear of the Frigates. One of the Deimoses, severely wounded from Confederate Prowler attacks, overheated its reactor core and slammed into the Confederate line, causing massive damage.
However, the crown jewels of the Confederate fleet were almost impenetrable. Numerous munitions seemed to literally bounce of the Cruisers immense shielding batteries. Despite their powerful defensive mechanisms, however, the Cruisers were not and could not have been ready for the Kestrel Slam. Six Kestrels broke off from the fight and advanced via a fighter screen towards the Confederate Cruisers. As soon as the fighter screen peeled off, they suicidely charged into the three Cruisers. Even the deadly fire from the vaunted particle cannon could not stop the kamikaze Kestrels, and they rammed the Cruisers with insane force. The first three Kestrels were destroyed from the intense primary batteries of the Cruisers, but the second wave scored a devastating blow. Two of the CruisersŐ hulls buckled under the strain and soon imploded, and the last one endured severe damage. Only two Kestrels survived the assault, but not without massive damage.
The Confederation fleet quickly hyperjumped out of the system and into Regulus to lick their wounds.
