Meanwhile, on Rogue Prime, Captain Regorn (Who goes by the code name "Nova6") is sitting in the Research Managers Office when a lieutenant steps into the room.
"Captain" the lieutenant says, "Here is the latest report on the Molecular Polleron Project".
"Excellent!" Nova6 replies.
"We should have it ready in one week"
"One week? I thought you said it would be ready in five days!"
"Well, there were some problems with the Research building"
"Problems, what kind of problems? Oh never mind, just get it done as soon as possible, got it?"
"Right Captain!"
The lieutenant walks off.
-Nova6
------------------ Long live the Rebellion!
Carno, I can send only 20 Raman Cruisers. I will ask Lonevoinian if he can spare a few ships. But first tell me what you are going to use them for. I have pulled back my attack on the UE but I am growing impacient as I see no reason for it. It would be wise not to make me mad.
I have heard of a now party in the North Tip. They still seem neutral but I will keep on eye on them. If you do not give me orders that I like I will proceed in attacking Sol.
------------------
(This message has been edited by Rama (edited 12-31-2000).)
Carno, notice how I didn't get mad when a single person snuck into a Corocian compound in less than a sentence. Your actions contradict your arguments.
------------------ ---------------------- Give them shell! give them solid shot! Damn them, give them anything!
ATTN: Carno
You have 50 of my Colony Cruisers to use as you wish in any way except attacking people in our allence. They have instructions to attack Azdgari ships and planets if the Azdgari attack the Ramans or the G'st'ar'ryh'htns.
------------------ (url="http://"http://pub29.ezboard.com/b20")Don't click here.(/url) The Person who misspells "Voinian" knows not of the 50 gigaton nuke coming at their cranium.
My objective is to live forever. So far so good.
I agree with Daedalus, the cards have been equally dealt. Carno's new inventions for the arada are void. His technology is the disruptor beam, and any PRACTICAL (i.e. my anti-ions) counter added to them is acceptable.
CONTINUATION: Rooster: "We have a grave dillemma. Carnotaur will not accept an alliance to fight this Raman/Igadzra uprising now." Daedalus: "What uprising?" Rooster: "You are of course aware that my semi-miranu heritage fights mind control. I told Carnotaur the truth in most cases nevertheless, as i wish for this war to end as well. However, i lied about why Navida was there." Daedalus: "Ah, so the financial advisor lied too!" Rooster: "Yes. That's the wierd thing. Navida was there with an entire brigade of Corocian soldiers disguised as Azdgari warriors. They were gone and so were the attackers. I believe that brigade is still on Mavs, and, if you'll allow, i think we should take the silverfleet to rescue them and sort out this conflict. Carnotaur has already damned you, and i believe you know where your principles are." Rooster extended a hand to shake on the alliance.
------------------ It is not fear that will destroy you, but the absence of it.
You ask a great deal of me roostersw. I never wished to get involved in this war but I see that it will come to me eventually. I accept your alliance. I have done great research on the Ramans mostly from your files, and it seems to me that if we could prove that we have no need for Raman technology, they might end their attack. In order to do this we have to prove our tech over theirs in a great battle. But presently we must deal with Carno who seems to be taking advantage of his alliance quite successfully. I will send the Silver Fleet to Mavs to force the escape of the covert team. My Ion cannons should prove useful. Good luck roostersw, your welcome to come along if you like, you will have to provide your own ship.
Can I please keep Denosk's Arada? I edited my post so it's not half as good.
Also, Rooster, what Igadzra/Raman Incursion? Why would the Ramans be attacking me? I'm his ally! You can't control other peoples governments like that. And second, well, I can believe the Igadzra uprising, but it would be small and not much of any threat. Remember, the Igadzra are conquered, most of them are very happy, and Carnotaur always makes sure that the Azdgari Navy, the Azdgari Army, and Azdgari Secret Navy and Police always checks for Igadzra and Zidagar uprisings. And besides, wouldn't the Igadzra be a bit out of date?
Oh, and Rooster, you can't lie using the Azdgari Mind Scanner. When Carnotaur uses it on someone, that someone has lost complete control over his actions. He cannot decide whether or not to tell the truth or tell a lie. However, I'll go along with you this time. But next time, please remember that.
--------------
And then, Rooster gets a message from Carnotaur: I wish for a cease fire. I also wish for a diplomatic meeting on Zidagar. Have Daedalus and Oasa come too.
Meanwhile, Carnotaur sends a message to Rama. "You have the go ahead to continue your offensive. I think I got Rooster and Daedalus where I want them. You see, I want to get them into a position where they will have to beg for a cease fire. Their war morale is low. That is good. You offensive, combined with the prospect of having me attack, and their low war morale with definitely make them see that they have to accpet my cease fire on my terms."
Then, Carnotaur tells the Rogue Empire that if they want to attack the Corocians in the South Tip, do so.
Then, Carnotaur begins to build up a large fleet in the Igadzra system. So far it includes 20 Azdgari Warships, 15 Raman Cruisers, and 20 Colony Cruisers from Lonevoinian.

You do not control the Ramans so you can't make them have an uprising, same thing with the Igadzra.
Originally posted by roostersw: **REVISED DATABASE OF LBS INFORMATION by roostersw snip I still need reports from Rama, Oasa, Daedalus, Nova6, and 21st CDB on their technologies. **
Here's mine (again):
Hear is some info on my o-zone destroying weapon:
The o-zone destroyer is a beam used by the Rogue. Only two ships are equipped with the o-zone destroyer. The o-zone destroyer works like this: First it charges up, then it is fired at a planet, the beam stops at the upper atmosphere, making a shockwave that covers the planet, destroying the o-zone layer. Since the o-zone layer is gone tons of radiation from the star in the system hits the planet, destroying all life. The shockwave also turns the atmosphere into acidic clouds that rain down acid rain, destroying all structures on the planet. The beam can only be used ten times before it has to be replaced. The Rogue are working on a way to recharge the beam without having to replace it or take it out. The two ships that are equipped with the o-zone destroyer are bombarding ships modified to carry the beam.
I hope it's accepted.

I forgot and edited my arguements. Now I live with the fact that you snuck into my base and got out with Rooster. However, now I try to sneak into your base and what happens? YOU revoke it! I edited my post and made Denosk much less better.
Very reasonable, Carno. We'll try to watch our actions too. And Nova, this is what i like to call a background development. The fact is nobody owns the Igadzra, whether they are conquered or not. What i was going for was the overall Igadzra compilation of the old south tip renegades. These are making an uprising from secret asteroid bases deep in the nebula, and they have some help from Raman renegade groups as well. This was to allow Rama a possible territory in all the action, or allow someone else to do so. I've seen that uncontrolled civil developments help the story a good bit.
CONTINUATION: Daedalus was waiting in Keninati space near Huron. The transmision to Earth didn't reach Rooster, as Carnotaur didn't expect a rescue mission. Rooster had jumped in on the C.W.S. Zodiac and the fleet entered slipstream exiting at Mavs. If the Renegades were forming again without Azdgari knowledge, it would be the remnants of the entire north and south tips they would be dealing with, and this would most likely be their exposure.
Not sure what you had planned Daedalus, and it is your group. Take it from here but leave me a spot to act during the mission too.
Remember, Rooster, I said that if you attacked me, I would kill Daevan, the Corocian agent that I captured, posing as my Financial Advisor.
Also, the South Tip is one of my tactical strongpoints. Not lots of planets, but lots of shipyards, bases, and ships. There will be at least 10 Azdgari warships in Mavs.
-------------
Then Carnotaur, seeing that he did not get any reply from Rooster, immediately sent out "Cease Fire, meeting at Zidagar" messages to everywhere he knew. He was worried that Rooster might attack him.
Roostersw, I have recieved the message from Carno to meet on Zidagar and I refuse to go. I will send a D-Clone instead but will not be secret about it. My clone can contact me if I need to make a decision.
I also realize that we are facing a greatly superior force in number. Contact Oasa and have him send reiforcements. Send your scientists to F-25 where they can be safe and work with mine. We need something to defeat the invasion. If you have any ideas let me know. If you could also provide me with 1000 small vessels (ie. scoutships, shuttles, kraits,..) send them to F-25. The Trade Republic is providing me with many of their ships.
On F-25 the ship yards seemed to be doing something with small groups of little ships. Wires were attatched between them and similar ships. Traders were arriving carrying many kinds of cannons and projectile launchers. More Silver Battleships and fighters were being contructed on other shipyards as metal and equipment was shipped in. There were many advantages to being the founder and protector of a trading government.
Sensors Officer: The defense fleet in Mavs consists of 10 Adgzari Warships. We will be able to defeat them with our twenty ships but will suffer loses. Daedalus: Commence the attack. That covert team has information that we need. Send 3 ships to bombard the planet barracks near the landing site. Have them land and deploy marines. As soon as the Covert team is extracted we will disengage before reinforcments can arrive. The Rescue Fleet accelerated towards the Adgzari Warships arming Ion cannons. Several burst were fired temporarily disabling several of the warships giving 3 of the Silver ships to get past and into planetary orbit. The rest of the Silver Ships engaged the Adgzari.
Take it from here roostersw. The Zodiac can be one of the three ships in that got past the Agdzari if you want.
Will Rooster come to the meeting on Zidagar? I need to know.
Also, there is no planet in Mavs, only a station.
-----------
Once Carnotaur learns of the attack, he sends a message to Rooster: "AaahhhH! Why did you attack Mavs! I'll kill Daevan for this! Report to Zidagar with 30 days or he dies! Any attempt to rescue him, and his guards will instantly kill him! How come you always find some way to get on my nerves, just when I'm trying to get peace at a time of crisis!! Meet on Zidagar now!! I have something VERY URGENT to tell you!!"
Nova6 is just sitting down when an ensign (sp?) bursts into the room,
"Sir! Sir!" He yelled,
"What's wrong! Can't you see i'm busy!",
"But sir! it's about the Azdgari! There under attack!",
"What!? Where?! How many ships are attacking?",
"20 Silver warships!",
"Send reinforcements immediately!",
"How many sir!",
"Ummmmmmm... 12 Destroyers and 10 Cruisers.",
"Right!",
The ensign runs off.
"Sir, the Azdgari are under attack at Mavs by twenty Cruisers of an unknown race." "Drat. We don't have any ships in the area. Maybe we can draw off some ships. Attack Valos. And make holes in the planet instead of using Stellar Plasma. After they are done have them colonize the Station in that system. We need a forward base." "Yes sir. Sending command. Oh, and the 'Bubble' class design is ready to be produced. We have 3 built, but we need many, many more resources before we can build any more." "Very well, send the 3 Bubble ships to Valos as well and instruct the Colony Cruisers to try to sort out the Resources, rather then disperse them to space. When the Bubble ships arrive, have them collect the resources and bring them back here." "Yes sir."
In DSN-6899: "We have our orders. Prepare the Mesh Projectors." "Yes sir. Done." "Slingshot ten Colony Cruisers and as many fighters as you can to Valos. After that is done have the other ships go there at top speed." "Yes sir. Sending order."
On Parren: "YES! TOUCHDOWN!" Said one of two men watching a Football(Gridiron, whatever) game. "Its 21-20 now! Looks like I'm going to win my bet." "There's still a minute on the clock. Should we check the sensors real quick?" Said the other. "Nah. What could happen in just a minute?"
Suddenly, the sensor screen registered 10 signatures. They started towards the planet.
"5-4-3-2-1... I WIN THE BET!" said the first man. "Drat. There went my paycheck. I'll check the sensors. HOLY COW!" "What?" "There are ten ships here that are not supposed to be here. Oh ****." "What?" "They are G'st'ar'ryh'ht ships." "No... How could they be here?" I don't know, but they just shot a beam at the Equator. Right where we are. Well, at least I don't have to pay you for losing our be..." With that, both men were hit by the Mesh field. It continued through the planet, slicing through rock and magma with ease. It punched through the other side of the planet with thousands of tons of molten rock right behind. The eruption came so close to one of the G'st'ar'ryh'ht ships that it blew out the Shield grid and melted parts of the hull. Two more ships fired. One straight down at the North Pole and the other at a right angle to the first shot. Magma surged from the holes, melting both Ice Caps, causing so much steam to form that when it exploded it created a crater that extended 10 miles from all sides of the Poles. When all the magma had gone out from the center of the planet, gravity caused the planet to collapse into itself creating many mile high mountains and many mile deep valleys. But in space while this was happening, Corocain ships destroyed 100 fighters, 6 Cruisers and disabled 2 other Cruisers before the other half of the fleet arrived and defeated them with their massive fighter strength. After the battle was over, the 2 disabled Colony Cruisers were used to inhabit Parren Station. In total, the G'st'ar'ryh'htns lost 13 Cruisers, 167 Fighters and gained Parren Station.
New Tech Stats: 'Bubble' class Carrier Speed: 1 Accel: 2 Turning: 25 Degrees/ second Crew: 759 Mass: 1000 tons Length: 700 Meters Shields(resedit):100 Armor(Resedit):10000 Weapons:2 Heat Thrower Turrets, 2 Mesh Projectors. Desc: Close to the power of an Azdgari Dreadnaught, if not exceeding it, the 'Bubble' class is made to transport huge fleets or gigantic amounts of material. The down side is it is virtually immobile due to its huge size. But it is not intended to go against an enemy without a large fleet at its side.
'Gnat' class Fighter Speed: 300 Armor(resedit):50 Shields(resedit):200 Accel: 400 Turn: 90 degrees/ second Crew: 2 Mass: 20 tons Length: 20 Meters Weapons: 3 Heat Thrower Cannons Desc: Realizing that the G'st'ar'ryh'htns could be defeated if swarms of fighters were used that could not be hit with Mesh weapons instead of large Cap Ships that are easy to kill, the 'Gnat' class fighter was born. Quick to produce, though weak, they are fairly effective as Fighter Killers. Though any fighter can beat them 1 on 1 with the exception of the Krait.
Moderation: Lonevoinian, you are in violation of rule 2 :B: No total destruction.:B: Saddly I must revoke your post. If you would like you can appeal to roostersw. Also, where did you get the resources to produce 3 dreadnaught class ships. They may have to be revoked too but that is up to roostersw.
If you'll make reference to my database i posted, your technology now has the limitation that a reciever has to be in place at the destination and it can only go for short distances. Again, if you have a practical way to improve this technology, feel welcome to post it.
CONTINUATION: Rooster: "Comm on! Daedalus, give your clone orders to represent both of us. Daevan knew what he was getting into and wouldn't want to jeopardize the mission for his sake. I'm rescuing my people whether Carno agrees or not!" The Zodiac pulled a quick 180 and the C.X.S. Pultaq launched from the rear bay. Rooster charged the drain mechanisms and forced the fighter through the shield grid with the help from several ion blasts. The Pultaq pulled up and locked onto the side of the station. Rooster and an engineer placed pattern enhancers and 20 of the Corocian officers transported from the Zodiac as well as Daedalus. Azdgari patrols sitting at the bar and standing around the lifts were dumbfounded and quickly neutralized. Forces ran through to seperate parts of the promenade to try and seal it off. Rooster and Daedalus, accompanied by three soldiers went up to the second deck. They met several Azdgari there and lost two of the security attachments.
Traveling through to the brig, they encountered a forcefield. Blue Leader: "Rooster this is Blue Leader, all reports show the promenade sealed with forcefield arrays." Rooster: "Can you short out the power for the rest of the system?" Blue Leader: "Negative, it's one system. I'd lose our current lockdown." Rooster: "Do it!" The forcefield flickered off and Rooster thrust his photonlance at the panel on the opposite wall. The forcefield deactivated to reveal the covert team, now a mere 8 of the original 20. Red Leader: "Rooster, we can't hold, they're coming through!" Rooster: "Use the pattern enhancers, get back to the Silverfleets ships! Get them out of the system!" Red Leader: "But sir, you'll be--" Rooster: "We'll have the Pultaq! Go!" The groups transported out and soon the entire incursion left the system. Rooster, Daedalus, and the 8 officers returned to the Pultaq. Daedalus: "We'll never get through!" Rooster: "Reroute all power to the inertial dampeners and cut thrusters!" Rooster pressed some buttons on the console. Rooster: <deep breath> "Entering Slipstream!" Daedalus: "What the hell?" The ship shrieked as it blasted into the rift. The side of the station blew apart on the kickback sending a rupture through the slipcorridor. Officer: "It's right behind us!!" The rear of the ship burst apart. The slipstream engine was disabled, and the ship was drifting powerless, the crew not knowing where they pulled out.
(This message has been edited by roostersw (edited 01-01-2001).)
And then, suddenly, as the Pultaq drifted in space, suddenly an Azdgari Warship came out of slipstream right in front on the crippled vessel. Rooster and Daedalus thought they were going to die right then.
"Sir! Energy build up in weapons array detected!" shouted the sensor officer.
Rooster turned to Daedalus. "It's been nice knowing you."
"They're firing!!!"
And the Azdgari Warship locked its tractor beam on the Pultaq.
Several hours later, the Azdgari Warship A.E.S. Incursion, still towing the Pultaq, exited slipstream in the Zidagar system. Rooster and Daedalus, along with the surviving crew, were all in the brig.
The Incursion glided down into the atmosphere and landed at the spaceport. While the crew were taken off to secure quarters, Daedalus and Rooster were taken to a meeting place. As they entered the room, they saw Intimidator and Carnotaur.
"Sit," Carnotaur ordered.
The twelve Azdgari guards pushed Daedalus and Rooster into two chairs at the table, opposite Intimidator and Carnotaur.
Then, the guards brought in Daedalus's clone, who had been discovered. They also brought in Daeven, who had apparently NOT been executed, yet.
"Okay, let's put it this way, Rooster," Carnotaur began. "We are in an all out war against each other. No rules. Just kill the other guy before he kills you. And I'd like to point out our two situations.
"As for the Azdgari Empire, we are highly fortified, but still spread too thin to make two simoltainious offensives against the North Tip and Core Corocian territory. We have almost completely wiped out the Miranu race. The remaining refugees are now in either your or Guardian Alliance territory. Hundreds of lives have been lost. The Miranu Coreworlds are gone. The South Tip is threatened by an Igadzra Rebel incursion. While our war morale is still very high, some of our admirals are worried. This is far too costly for us.
"As for you, your troops do not like this. You morale is low. You are confined. The Ramans are pressing in on you. We outnumber you. You are far too small. However, you still put up a violent fight.
"As for my point...
"I want peace. Maybe even an alliance. Because you see, we have a much bigger threat. A threat so big it makes this whole war look like childs play. It's the Agzarai. They have been amassing forces near the artificial wormholes that lead to our galaxy. Their enemies have been defeated, and now they want us. They are superior to us all. We must unite and destroy them. What do you say? I think I can convince the Ramans and Lonevoinians of this larger threat.
"What is your answer?"
