Ack!!! The story is still by rooster, not me. That part be much better if it read something like:
AN EPIC ESCAPE VELOCITY ADVENTURE CREATED BY THE DIVINE ROOSTER MODERATED BY THUNDER AND CAPTAIN CARNOTAUR
I don't want to steal credit for what Rooster created. I did NOT create Red Horizon, he did, and he should get full credit for doing so.
Please, edit your post!

Actually, Lone, I changed your post (it was an unreasonable post). You didn't destroy Mira, you destroyed a planet in the Holmm system. So, you are floating around in the Holmm system, not Mirava.

As Carnotaur stood in his main shipyard on F-570, he watched as a six new Crescent Warships came off the production line. However, these were no ordinary CWs. They were specifically designed CWs engineered by Carnotaur himself. More maneuverable than an Azdgari Warship and 300 units of shields (not Res-Edit scale), these ships were fast and well shielded. The enhanced CWs also had an extra phase turret as well as more SAD launchers and modules. To top it off, they were equipped with 6 Crescent Fighters, and not just 3. Carnotaur was planning on using them for the most elite and well trained part of the Captains of S-570. They were to be his 'Elite Guard'. They also sported silver hulls and weapons, the silver being from the large portion of it Carnotaur had gotten when Sumer was destroyed.
Then, seeing his shipyard working excellently, Carnotaur went back to his office....

REDchigh's dome ship designs are complete, his shipyard is finished, and his fleet w/ the k-pilots and the chem missiles finally gets to the Nade J system, ready to capture the planet. The fleet demands tribute, and one crescent fighter is the defense fleet. Apparently the person in charge died w/ notifying anyone...
Oh well, REDchigh pilots his fleet through miranu space, demanding tribute, and easily destroying the puny one-fighter defense fleets. Soon REDchigh has the top half of miranu space, with only one casualy, and that was one zidigar fighter.
REDchigh now owns kitrak, kirrim, and zimla systems, and above. please factor in the interest from miranu trading, tribute, and all the miranu freighters REDchigh could find.

SORRY TO INTERVENE...
We haven't really decided to make a release yet, but Buba has been working on a new web board for these stories. I've created a concept for a new cooperative story, and i'd like to get everybodies input before we release the board to the public. Thanx.
------------------ It is not fear that will destroy you, but the absence of it.
thanks, red, you just attacked my enemies. PS I think the gunships would sting a bit more than 1 fighter lost.
I am sending my attack fleet to Saffera. Same strat as before, it worked well on Twyus. Defense fleet still on random patrols.
"Sir, weve got something on scanners." "What, Lt.?" "It appears to be a hyper trail, but it heads in a direction for which there are no known hyperlanes." "Investigate. Send 4 Aradas in that direction with scanner upgrades."
later...
"Sir, weve lost contact." "With who?" "The exploation force. we were talking on commlink and then...silence." "I want to know what this is. Now."
Strike force Sigma, my new elite special ops unit, is now being trained. they will fly in all-black Azzie Aradas with special outfits and will be the best trained force in the galaxy. I will have very few, though, as it is hard to find pilots and soldiers like these...
------------------ Is the answer to this question 'no'? Chaos to the enemies of the Azdgari

Gets my vote.
MODERATION: Red, you cannot just suddenly go and blast away a few defense fleets and say you own a planet. Post revoked because it is extremely unrealistic. Miranu planets do NOT have little one-fighter defense fleets, and the Zacha would cream you. The Zacha are highly organized and are easily capable of defending the Miranu from your raids. You can still take over one or two Miranu planets, but you would loose a lot of ships, and the Zacha might retake them. Please edit your post. You can only have Eiribi and Nadej at the very maximum.
Arada Pilot, the Miranu aren't your enemies. They're neutral, and vital to my governments trading possibilities. I say that we should defend the Miranu against the evil North Tip Renegades. You could easily wipe them out once the Zidagar are done with. Speaking of which, how's that offensive going?
Rima, if you really want to control an entire government, the Miranu are still open, and I think they would fit you nicely. Of course, it's up to you.
Rooster, I think's that a great idea. However, could you explain it more? Also, do you think I'm doing a good job as co-moderator?
CONTINUATION:
<Message to Thunder> <Thunder, we are both neutral against each other. I suggest we open up trade relations. This agreement could benefit both of us, and my government needs the income that trade brings. We ask nothing of you, except for the Silver Fleet or maybe at least a part of the Silver Fleet. We know Daedalus left them to you, and my government is interested in them. We already have a few silver plated ships. What do you say?> <End Message>
Ok then, I'll revoke my post. Instead of taking the miranu, Here is my complete plan: Step one: I send 3 CW's, 30 c-fighters, and 8 Renegade aradas to stage an attack on mira. Step two: after the zacha send a massive force to mira, I send three zidaras and 10 A-aradas to outpost zachit. all ships come together to attack the station hard, ignoring the vessels. after the station is disabled, i start on the ships. step three, send the k-pilots to take out the two gunships in the system, send the Aradas to all other Zacha vessels, and then make the Zidaras board the station. step 4, the Zidaras empty their chem- missiles onto the station.
my fleet captures outpost zachit, and hides in various locations through out the station. Thje fleet destroys all debri and wreckage, and warps out right as the zacha return. The zidigar inside the station stay concealed until nightfall, when they are able to take out all of the sleepy guards with hand-to-hand combat and silenced phase beamers, then the Zidigar marines kill all of the remaining zacha in their sleep.
Note: the first renegade offensive accomplishes it's purpose. The warships warp out and in again several times, letting their shields recharge. The CW's finally retreat after the outpost is captured.All the CW's get away, and one arada is able to get out. I lose 7 aradas, and 34 fighters. The Zacha lose their base, and a majority of their fleet. Please factor in 5M credits profit for me: 3.6M from the stations, and the rest from all freighters in the Mirava system.
legal? look back at the size of the fleet. remember the aradas and Zidaras have Zidigar ICM systems...
(This message has been edited by -REDCHIGH- (edited 01-30-2001).)
Hmmmm... Maybe. The Zacha are still there, but they are weakened. However, you still say that the Zachits defenses are weak. Only one gunship and apparently minimal forces engaged you. Zachit Station has a massive defense force. You would need to bring in a LOT of forces to hold the massive hoard of Zacha aradas and fighters back even for 20 minutes. Try to edit your post to be in more conformity with reality.
Okay as Rooster said before we have been working on a EVO Adventure Story webboard in which we will host these type of stories (LBS and Red Horizon). This new webboard will allow us to do a lot more and moderate a little better. I think this webboard could turn out really well. Anyway, Carnotaur, you asked for more info. Here is what Rooster and I (mainly Rooster) have come up with for our first story in this new board.
Shakra Uprising The rule of the Ossaki has plagued mankind for years since the overtaking, but scattered around their lands lie those still loyal to human ideals. And on Station Shakra, mankind shall begin to once again rise to power.
Shakra Uprising is the embodiment of what i think Buba and i really wanted when we started Red Horizon. A fully codependent existence, all of us over one player controlling the Ossaki. We would uprise against them to bring humanity back to life. Simple enough and sure to be a thrilling adventure. The only problem would be to find someone willing to play the Ossaki.

MESSAGE TO CAPTAIN CARNOTAUR<<< Encryption code 302-10-Sigma confirmed
I agree that a trade agreement would be beneficial to both of us, and that we should work to open up trade between our governments. Since we are the only two governments to share the South Tip, it seems a logical step. We would be glad to share a portion of the Silver Fleet with your government, but we do ask that you provide something in return; I'm open to suggestion as to what. We can't just give the ships away free. Also, since we share the same region of space, I suggest we consider military cooperation, perhaps even an alliance, but at least a pact of non-agression. Together we will be able to ensure the safety and peace of the South Tip.
END MESSAGE<<<
Continuation: Thunder was confused by recent events as he piloted the Storm into a docking bay of Freeport Station. He had recently recieved word from the Zacha, Kayan allies, that they had sustained attacks from the North Tip Renegades, who the Kayan government was also on good terms with. Because of this, Thunder and the Kayans found themselves paralyzed, unable to join either side without risking trade agreements and alliances. But despite all this, it was not Thunder's top priority at the moment. He had come to Freeport for a different reason.
It is a well known fact that Freeport was the single place in the galaxy where pilots can obtain space mines, salvaged from minefields left over from the Human-Voinian war by those traders brave (and perhaps desperate) enough to risk their lives in the highly profitable endeavor of retreiving undetonated space mines and returning them to Freeport for sale. As a result of this, the technicians aboard Freeport were perhaps the galaxy's leading experts on space mines and the technology that made them work.
Three of these technicians were assembled in a room when Thunder walked in, data-pad in hand, ready to explain his latest research project. Once all of the technicians were seated, he began. "As you all know, the Space Mine is the most powerful weapon in all of the known galaxy." The technicians nodded in agreement. "But, since they were banned after the conclusion of the Human-Voinian war, the only way they could be obtained was to retrieve undetonated mines from systems along the former UE-Voinian border. The plans for the space mine were highly classified by both the Voinians and the UE, and were destroyed following the treaty that banned space mines, and nobody has ever been able to reverse-engineer them, because scanners didn't give a clear enough picture to build a working model, and anyone who tried to actually look inside always ended up vaporized."
Here, Thunder paused for a moment, then continued undeterred. "As you also know, the defense pod is standard on all Kayan ships, and is a key element of our defensive strategy. The defense pods are attuned to the shield frequency of the ships of the government that deployed them, so that their detonation doesn't damage the ships that fire them. This makes them useful not only as weapons, but for creating blockades as well."
"What are you getting at?" one of the technicians interrupted.
"What I'm getting at," Thunder answered, "is that I'm asking you and the other technicians here to reverse engineer the space-mine and incorporate the technology and hardware that attune defense pods to the shields of the ships that fire them. As you know, with the Kayan sensor upgrade, scanners are made significantly more powerful. This boost should allow you to get a sufficient picture of the inside workings of a space mine to reverse-engineer one. As for how to incorporate the defense pod technology, I'll leave that up to you guys. What I will do, though, is provide you with a high grade scanner upgraded with Kayan sensor technology and 1 million credits in funding."
"Well..." the lead technician answered, "it'll be a challenging project, but one we'd be proud to accomplish. We'll do it."
