To daedalus: I should have 18.7 million credits! Arada Pilot bought the cloak from me! And he paid me 8.7 million credits! ---------------------------------------- To daedalus again: I will continue to attack if you try to free the Humans! And if you do attack me, I will break my alliance with you! Also, how did you get a sample of Voinain armor?! It is very hard to get a sample from a Voinain ship.
P.S. I wish Thunder would post about defending south tip station. Where is he?

Kayia and South Tip Station immediately responded by launching their defense fleets. Though they knew they were no match for 40 Voinian cruisers, they knew their mission and kept their two goals in mind: Inflict as much damage as possible by destroying carried fighters and taking down afew of the cruisers, and more importantly buy enough time for the complete evacuation of Kayia. Even as the defense fleet launched into battle, hundreds of civilian ships, from Miranu Heavy Freighters all the way down to unarmed transports, lifted off the surface of the planet and began pouring into the hyperlink out of the system.
The Kayan ships in the defense fleet stuck together in a single group, swarming the Voinian cruisers one at a time, attacking until one Cruiser was destroyed, then moving on to the next, while sweeping the enemy fighters aside by the sheer weight of fire their tightly packed formation could deliver. Five of the Cruisers were destroyed in this manner, but the shields of the many ships in the defense fleet were beginning to fall dangerously low. But they knew they had to stay, the evacuation was only half complete. Bravely, they moved on to a sixth cruiser, and a seventh, but they were beginning to fall. They had now suffered 15% losses to their fleet and their shields were nearly gone. By now all but the last civilians had evacuated the system. The few remaining Militia ships led the attack on an eighth Cruiser, which they managed to destroy, but only after taking a total of 35% losses to their fleet. On their damaged viewscreens, they could see the last defenders fleeing into the hyperlink and exiting the system.
The militia leader established a comm connection with South Tip Station. After uploading the station's database to his ship, he wiped the South Tip Station computer, leaving it's memory completely erased. He then did the same to the Kayia computer network. With nothing left to stay for, and their shields failing or already gone, the Kayans let out one last barrage of defense pods, destroying a ninth and a tenth cruiser and disabling three others, and then fled into the hyperlink. The evacuation of Akrahyek was complete.
In all, the Kayans suffered 40% losses to the Akrahyek defense fleets, the rest fleeing into hyperspace. The Voinians lost ten cruisers with 3 disabled, and lost 40% of their carried fighters.
---------------------
In hyperspace on the way back to Kayan space, Thunder learned of the massacre on Akrahyek. He also learned that once Hindrix and Feviry learned of the attack on Kayia, they decided that it was no longer safe to remain alone, and they had decided to join the Kayan Alliance. It was little consolation, though, for the loss of Kayia.
Still in a state of shock, Thunder sent out two urgent messages.
MESSAGE TO DAEDULUS<<< Encryption code 252-112-Epsilon confirmed
Daedulus: We need to take action. The Voinians just committed an unprovoked massacre on Kayia and South Tip Station. We had no choice but to evacuate the system. As soon as you have the anti-voinian outfits ready, we need them. Please, hurry!
END MESSAGE<<<
MESSAGE TO TITAN AND THE ZIDAGAR Encryption code 255-96-Gamma confirmed
The Voinians have just destroyed Akrahyek. We need help. It's time we made our alliance formal. You need to defend yourselves from the Azdgari, but if you have any extra ships left over, please help us out.

Here's a map of the Red Horizon Galaxy: (url="http://"http://www.carnotaurhq.com/graphics/red_horizon_map.jpg")www.carnotaurhq.com/graphics/red_horizon_map.jpg(/url)
There may be a few problems with it, but don't worry. I'll try to update it regularly.
Daedalus, I have broken off my relations with you for the moment. You are allied with the Kayians and are now attempting to attack the Voinians to free the Humans, even though you could just settle it peacefully. At this moment, all my ships and personnel are evacuating back to my space, except for those of them which are already in friendly or allied space.
Just to clear something up about my government, this is how it works. I am the leader of the captains, and I have a kind of council of 4 pilots (the captains of the LoneIgadzra, Subterfuge, Knight, and Specter). Myself, and my 4 council pilots, form the Captains of S-570.
Also, here is the fleet status of the Captains of S-570: 4 CWs (two part of the actual captains of S-570 and heavily upgraded) 3 Igazras (two part of the actual captains of S-570 and heavily upgraded) 2 AWs (gifts from Arada Pilot) 1 Voinian Cruiser (my ship, the Red October) 90 Crescent Fighters (defense fleets for three planets) 10 Aradas (merchent fleet)
I've been building this fleet up for a while now, so I still have all the credits the economic report says I have.
-------------------
<MESSAGE TO ARADA PILOT> Arada Pilot, I don't need an Azdgari Warship, however I will accept the AW that you delivered to me as a gift from you, our allies. However, if you do happen to have any spare CWs, please send them to me. <END MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE TO NOVA6> Nova6, if you could, can you please send down one or two of your scientists to S-570 to help my scientists work on two different projects that I have. Research is going slowly, and I would appreciate some professional help. Also, if you have any spare CWs, please try to send them to me. <END MESSAGE>

Nova6, you have no clue what my plans are. All you know is that I want to expand trade and want you to do the same. I haven't attacked you so stop talking about it. I got the Voinian armor because you sent me about 20 ships. I will make the credit changes.
------------------ ---------------------- Give them shell! give them solid shot! Damn them, give them anything!
Daedalus, if you say that war is expensive, and that the more planets you have, the more credits you get, then Titan shouldn't have as much credits as he has. Right now the Azdgari are pushing in on his government, the Zidagar, and are winning. This Azdgari/Zidagar war should be very expensive for him.

Moderation: I hearby revoke the quoted post. I have told only 2 people of my plans and have told them by word of mouth. You do not even know if I will attack you.

There have been no post of attack. Also, the Agdzari gave away a ton of money.
I herby say that Daedalus doesn't read enough posts.
Originally posted by Arada Pilot Away I am officially withdrawing my diplomats from Kayaia as my agents have discovered the surface of your plot (I dont know the details yet)
Originally posted by daedalus: Nova6, you have no clue what my plans are.
Yes I do. The Azdgari found out about your plans.
I haven't attacked you so stop talking about it.
What your posts give every indication (sp?) that you are.
I got the Voinian armor because you sent me about 20 ships.
The ships that I sent you are older versions than the ones I have now. I said in an earlier post that I upgraded the armor on all of my ships. So your new weapon would not be as effective as you think. ------------------------ <Message to Carnotaur> <From Nova6> <Encrypted> <Hello. I looked it up, and geuss what, I found out that I have two CWs that were about to be scraped. I stoped them from being destroyed and I am sending you them right away. I got them when I took over the Emalgha, here's how: When my fleet was in the middle of the battle, two CWs hyperd into the system and got cought in the crossfire, were disabled, boreded, and captured. I had no use for them so I decided to give them to you. Have fun!> <END MESSAGE>
let me just make this clear :mad: !!NO BODY EXCEPT FOR THUNDER KNOWS OF MY KAYAN ALLIANCE OR MY PLANS TO ATTACK THE VOINIANS. AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW. I AM NOT GOING TO :mad: FORCE A RESCUE OF CREW MEMBERS ANYWAY!! NO ONE EVEN HAS A RIGHT TO MENTION THE SUBJECT EXCEPT ME OR THUNDER!! IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH. :mad:
Nova6, how would the Agdzari find out. There are no transmissions and they haven't interrogated anyone. Also, your character doesn't read my post because our characters are not real. If you don't believe that your character is not real, then ask Roostersw, he will tell you.
Carno, all Arada Pilot knows is that I have formed a trade agreement with the Kayans. He obviously didn't like it so he withdrew. Infact that is all anyone knows. I have publically anounced it.
(This message has been edited by daedalus (edited 01-26-2001).)
Carno, ill see what I can do about CW's. I don't have any at the moment, as my gov usually sticks with strictly military gov ships.
Thanks for the map.
Buba, I do hope you realize that a ship from my fleet is worth more than .8 mil, but if you want cash, I'll give it to you. good luck.

I sure do know. Think about it: I had many Azdgari on the planet (diplomats+standard spies), and my gov has the best spies in the galaxy. It only makes sense for me to have some info, although limited.

Doesn't he need to do something before this? You cant just keep popping out new superships every day. If so, I would have won already.
Good, thanks for giving him the ships nova.

Let me explain this one more time. Thunder is the only person in is government that knows, even with your diplomats and spies and any other forces you may have, you wouldn't know unless Thunder told you. Thunder told no one else and took no action that would hint at an alliance. All you know is that we have made a trade agreement. About Titans ship, he had mentioned doing something like it before, Titan, give me a description of how you made it (ie. hooking together the hulls of some zidaras) so that I can approve it.
Where is Rooster? I haven't seen him for a long time.
Just a note here: The Azdgari are very devious, and pretty good at spying. Besides, ever since the Azdgari took over the Igadzra, ex-Igadzra military personnel would have probably joined the Azdgari Empire and became spies because all Igadzra are experts at spying. Another way Nova6 could have found out about your devious plan is that some of the Voinian guards on New Calcutta could have discovered that you helped a few human prisoners escape.

<Message to Nova6> Thank you for the two Crescent Warships. If you ever have any extra ships, ships that are going to be scrapped, or obsolete ships, send me them, I can use them to help build up my space fleet. To the Voinian Empire and Captains of S-570! Carnotaur out. <End Message>
<Message to Arada Pilot> If you ever have any extra ships, ships that are going to be scrapped, or obsolete ships, send me them, I can use them to help build up my space fleet. Nova6 is sending me two CWs, and so I don't need ships very urgently. To the Azdgari Empire and Captains of S-570! Carnotaur out. <End Message>
<Message to Rooster - URGENT!> Rooster, I have two CWs availible to you. I am now willing to exchange these two vessels for Intimidator immediately. The trade site will be the Stror system. Go there, land on the moon of S-1872 as soon as possible. There, I will provide you with the two CWs, but first you must send Intimidator to me before I give you the two warships. No compromises. Carnotaur out. <End Message>
I maid the Zidagar Dreadnaught dismanteling several Zidara's, I have maid six of them.
Message to Thunder: I can spare a few ships to help you there on the way. End of message
Titan sends a fleet of 30 Zidara's and 2 Zidagar Dreanaughts, these ships have Cloaking devices so no one can know that there coming.(nobody else knows that I'm sending ships to help the Kayan Alliance except Thunder)
