Message to Paladin,encrypted: I would like to have some StarLancers on the Z.S.S. Gryphon.They would make a wonderful weopon on the Z.S.S. Gryphon.By the way here are the blue prints for the Humrugar.I thought you would like to know the specifics and perhaps build some of your own if you want.When the Z.S.S. Gryphon is finished I will send you the blueprints of the whole ship and everything we have on it.I hope to finish it soon. ~Rima out,end encryption~ Rima checked on the progress of The Z.S.S. Gryphon and saw the structure was almost finished and now all that had to be done really was see that everything fit make sure it had the right outfits and make sure it was at least as fast as a Cresent Warship.One of the Zidaras with the uptated tech had been killed very foolishly.When she had specifically told them not to go on any raiding missions this one went on one alone and found 6 Azdgari there.Rima mourned the loss of the pilot who though not very smart,had been very good.She immediately sent another Zidara to Vlagos to be uptated with new tech.
------------------ I'm not dead yet.In fact I feel pretty good!" I cut off your arm!""It's only a flesh wound!" "Bless this holy hand grenade..."
I meet up with my 3rd viper in azdgari space (Samurai only has 2 cause i got prototype), and check the rogress of the next 2. i also check the progress of a secret project (no one knows, not even my allies) hyperspace cruise missiles: These are basically robotic ships, they have guidace, hyperspace engines, and techs. They travel mostly at FTL speeds, except when necessary (So they dont run through a black hole, etc.) They are the fastest object (faster than any other projectile weapon, and too small to hit well with primary unless your lucky) around. The basic concept is this: The high speed projectile will impact another object, causing an immense shockwave that will disable and destroy many systems, as well as doing quite a bit of damge. These can only be launched from planets or stations, and they are very expensive.
------------------ Is the answer to this question 'no'? Chaos to the enemies of the Azdgari
ENCRYPTED MESSAGE TO RIMA
I am indeed interested by your fighter, but for the moment I wish to stick with the UE fighters mainly. The Hirogen Blaze, which I would wish to fit onto any fighters I purchase from you, would not go well with your ship design.
For now I wish to strengthen 4 parts of the UE force: a) UE Fighters UE Cruisers c) Alpha Warships d) Heligun Range and Planet Weapons
The StarLance is nearly complete now - and I'm sending you all data on it and also the Hirogen Blaze, Dark Matter Launcher, Omega and Alpha vessels, STS launchers and missiles, and the Heligun. Feel free to use any of these in any way you want.
The StarLance will be completed at the same time as the Herione and Climhazzard Alpha ships, and I will equip StarLances onto them (about 75 per ship, I think).
After that I will begin work on two more Alpha ships - the U.E.S Blue Narciss and U.E.S Ragnarok. Meanwhile, I am putting some research into two more ideas:
a) New weapon to replace blaze/phase weapons - I suggest we both work on this. A powerful planetary defence.
The planetary defence will hopefully be completed at the same time as Alpha ships 5 and 6, which have yet to be started.
------------------ Don't play with changing names: Esponer - 130 posts Paladin - Nearly 100 posts Sylver - 1 posts
15 Seiken Azdaras are now complete, and 25 Seiken Aradas. The Seiken Warship is moving along smoothly, and the Energy Transfer Beam is complete.
--------------------
The ASS Beatrix moves into the Hizdriar system with 25 Seiken Aradas. Miranu ships move in to attack, and Jade tests the energy transfer beam for the first time. As one Arada is fired upon by two other Aradas, Jade transfers energy over, and the Arada stays at 100% shields while is destroys the other two easily.
Tests show that 1 S.Azdara can match 2 Crescent Fighters easily, and probably more. It can take on to 10 Crescent Fighters while being supported by the ETB.
The S.Arada is a match for a Lazira, and two can destroy most warships easily.
The S.Warship, when ready, will be powerful enough to destroy 2 of most types of warship.
NEW RESEARCH!: The Shock is being worked on to gather stardust and launch it at the opponent. It will still do energy damage, but will also do powerful matter damage as the particels are accelerated to the speed of light.
------------------ A.S.S Beatrix, Alexandria, Save the Queen.
Several cool things have been completed:
1. The Heligun range has now been increased to make it the longest ranged secondary weapon - just about. 2. The StarLance is complete, and some have been sent to Rima. 3. The U.E.S Herione and U.E.S Climhazzard, both 2.5km long, have been completed with StarLances, blaze turrets, phased rockets and STS missiles. These are Alpha warships.
--------------------------
The following is next: 1. U.E.S Blue Narciss and U.E.S Ragnarok, both 2.5km long Alpha warships. 2. Advancement of the blaze cannon, still a matter based weapon, but longer ranged and more powerful. The main advancement here is the firing speed. 3. StarLance defences. Several hundred StarLances will be left to float around each system, and will fire off towards targets quickly. There are enough in each system, or will be, to destroy an Odine Viper or do enough damage to the I.S.S Triad for the system defences to finish it off.
The 3rd will take little time at all, and will greatly increase UE defences.
5 squadrons of 125 UE Fighters each are now ready on standby. 2 squadrons of 90 UE Cruisers each are now ready on standby. 2 Omega ships and 2 Alpha ships are now ready and on standby.
Oh, and another thing:
2 squadrons of 125 UE Fighters each, 40 UE Cruisers and the 2 Alpha ships go into cloak and move around IA space carefully, so no-one knows that the UE are slightly weakened.
They approach the Raigar system, and will attack in the next post.
Jade manages to bring her number of Seiken Aradas up to 30, and now all the Azdaras she has are also Seiken <sorry to rush this, but everybody else is getting very strong and I have to reach stage 2 very soon>.
A second Seiken Warship is also hers, and the Shock attack on the ASS Beatrix will soon fire Stardust too. The damage incurred by Stardust is 60% of the normal Shock attack, increasing the total damage considerably.
-----------------
Jade gathers the forces at Raigar and sweeps out all the remaining renegades around the close systems with them, with minimal losses.
The Energy Deployment Field group has completed work on an armour strength field. For it to work properly, fibres have to be run through the armour, which generate a binding field, which strenghtens the armour against attacks. The fibres can also absorb energy, filling capacitors, which can then either be used to put shields back online(armour only gets hit when shields are offline, by energy weapons anyway), at a reasonable strength, or increase power to other systems, giving a boost. Work is being done on simple emitters that will be able to throw the energy back at enemy ships.
A sub-division is working on energy torps, fast firing, short range, heavy damage energy bolts. They will be designed for use on the new IA fighters and Heavy Cruisers
Work on the IA fighter is on hold till the energy torp is ready, at which time it will be in full production.
The Heavy Cruiser design is almost complete, and the framework of several is already being done. They will have turreted energy torps arrayed along the surfaces, and carry IA fighters. They will also have the same basic technology as the Light Cruiser, but are much more heavily armed. They also have backup shield generators, and multiple hulls. ---------- Somewhere near Diudir... An Azdgari Warship, and several escorts are patrolling near Azdgari space. Scanning the system for enemy ships or anomalies, nothing is detected. They move to the hyperspace exit point and prepare to leave. A massive ripple runs through space, and before the Azdgari even notice, they are blasted by a massive beam. The Azdaras turn into their seperate quantum level matter as soon as the beam hits. The warship survives, barely, and only because the beam is on for a fraction of a second. A single volley from every turret and launcher on the ship is fired, the first shot to reach the warship spelling its doom, the rest arriving too late and smashing into debris. The I.A.S. Triad, its job complete, vanishes from all sensors again, heading for home for a final outfitting before it is ready for a major battle.
------------------
Paladin's forces - 250 UE Fighters, 40 UE Cruisers and the U.E.S Climhazzard and U.E.S Herione - move in to attack Raigar.
By which time Jade has left Raigar for F-25, and the battle is short.
The two Alpha warships smash through Azdgari warships with their phased rockets, and the UE fighters split into two groups, causing devastation with their Hirogen Blazes, each UE fighter outbattling the Azdaras one on one.
The cruisers mainly provide support, as they have little purpose as they don't yet have StarLances. The defences take a while to beat down, and 5 UE Cruisers and 25 or so UE Fighters are destroyed in the battle.
The Alphas are barely scratched, as high shield regeneration and their working together means they suffer little damage. Rockets and other Azdgari ships that posed threats to them were deflected by the fast firing Heliguns.
The UE fleet moves on to the planet Raigar <?, is it called Raigar?> and they bombard the planet's military establishments with heavy fire. The people there surrender, but the UE don't stop until every shipyard and military base is destroyed. Then they steal several million credits and, to the Azdgari's despair, the blueprints for the Azdgari ships, and a number of Azdaras.
----------------------- MESSAGE TO ARADA PILOT - OUT OF GAME
If you wish to say you organised a specific defence you can. Understand that you can't say you placed most of your army in that system, as that would be tactically unsound and would result in heavy attacks from other people before you could organise your forces.
And thanks for the Azdaras! Sometime I might modify them to make "UE Interceptors"!
PS: Disagree with the stealing if you wish, but I'm keeping the credits at least.
Well, my troops would have destroyed the blueprints before you got them. My race is the highest trained, remember. You would've got the credits though, so that's ok.
Outraged at the massacre of innocent civilians, The emperor begins to plan a counterstrike. I sned a massive force of HCM's to Sol (You dont see them until theyre there, as the cloaks are odine tech). Upon entering the system, they all impact structures in orbit and on the surface, wiping out New York, Tokyo, Washington, Paris, LA, and Miami, as well as 75% of military structures and orbiting structures instantly. The impact of an FTL object has devastated the surface, causing cracks in the crust. Earth is now a fiery hell.
note that i cant just kjeep doing that, as they are very expensive and i just used most of the ones i have.
ARADA PILOT Question 1: What's an FCM?
Point 1: I said I was moving towards Raigar before I attacked it, whereas you simply attacked and wiped out Earth in a single post. Point 2: The StarLance defences are up. That means several hundred of these are floating around in the Sol system, and will instantly attack you. There are enough to destroy an Odine Viper quickly, with more to spare as well in the CAPITAL system. Point 3: The U.E.S Paladin, U.E.S Excalibur, 4 squadrons of 125 UE Fighters each, and 120 UE Cruisers have been placed on standby in that system, as mentioned. Point 4: Earth has STS arrays - not much, but you should keep that in mind. Point 5: Any matter based objects, if the FCM is such, would be destroyed before impact by the Heliguns on the U.E.S Paladin and U.E.S Excalibur. Point 6: Unless what you sent was some form of missile, all your vessels would have stood a tiny chance of survival, and that would have an extremely low chance of actually destroying Earth, as a) matter weapons would be blocked, Earth, like any important capital planet, has shields, c) there are many ships around Earth to "take the line of fire" and d) Earth is a big place, and I don't know what you used against it, but it would have to be stronger than either the Dark Matter Launcher or the Singularity beam - what is it???
(This message has been edited by SilverDragon (edited 03-31-2001).)
Jade hyperspaces back into the Raigar system to find it the military establishments there destroyed, and the military forces there either scattered or destroyed. The common people are all still alive, and the planet was not entirely stripped of money, but it is still a serious attack.
The ASS Beatrix travels south with it's Seiken escorts and soon catches up to the UE forces.
"Shall we engage them?" a loyal retainer of Jade's asks. "Have they seen us?" Jade replies. "Yes. They are moving to attack. The Alpha warships are holding back. "Have the UE force chase you east, and then the Azdgari can ambush them." "Yes, captain."
The Seiken escorts twirl east and disappear, and the ASS Beatrix moves into hyperspace to follow. The UE force, except for the U.E.S Herione, give chase, and then the ASS Beatrix drops out of hyperspace to attack.
"Okay, let's see what happens here! Shock it!"
The ASS Beatrix moves forward at high speed at shocks the Herione. The Herione tries to use its Heligun to smash the ASS Beatrix away, but the Beatrix's mass is enough to block it. Phased rockets smash into the Beatrix's hull, but they are ignored.
"Enemy shields?" "91%" "That high?" Jade asked, amazed. "Move in to attack again."
The ASS Beatrix moved to attack once, firing phase turrets wildly. It was outgunned, but barrel rolls helped evade the attacks.
"Now, Shock Break!"
The ASS Beatrix used Shock Break, slowly tearing apart the Herione's shields. Then the two were locked in combat.
NOTE: I leave the next section of this battle to yoo, Silver Dragon.
Okay, I know what those missiles are now. So, some more points:
a) The Heligun fires off thousands of blasts in a minute, and with two ships with Heliguns those missiles wouldn't have stood a chance, even at faster than light speed. It is easy to underestimate the Heligun, but not advised. You never completed them. Your last post mentioned you building them, but you DIDN'T COMPLETE WORK ON THEM. So even if you finished the same post you attacked, you would only have had a prototype and maybe a few more, so see point C. c) Being a capital, Earth would have been shielded. All other planets, and I mean for everybody, will have shielding on military bases, but capitals would have shielding on the whole planet, most likely. If point B counts, then this would result in a failure, and this would also have been important if point B didn't count. d) If the missiles have just been completed in that post, then they were completed far too fast, in my opinion. If they are cloaked, can go anywhere in the galaxy, are fast and powerful, then they should have taken a lot longer to complete. My ULTIMA PROJECT has a similar device as it's end goal, and the Ultima Project will take 2 real weeks. e) You would either have travelled through IA space and your missiles would then be destroyed, or have taken a longer route, perhaps round Igadzra space. That is over 20 jumps, which is 2000 units of fuel, and to carry 1200 units of fuel in a SPACESHIP that spaceship needs to be specifically designed for it's long range, for example, the Miranu Courier. f) Considering my current location, if you destroyed Earth within that speed, I'd be dead. It's a strange thing to bring up, but since killing a character off isn't allowed, blowing up the planet they're on without giving them time to get off, thus, also shouldn't be allowed.
So, things get complicated. You seem to think you can do anything, and perhaps you deserve to be able to have SOME special capabilities and I should make some compromises with you. This situation, however, I cannot accept. I don't know what everyone else thinks of it, but it is my opinion that, well, I've already said my opinion.
Compromising............ How far can I compromise, I wonder? This next section is takin what you said as the truth.
----------------------
Paladin swears from his Z.S.S Zidara, currently in the Sol system. His work on the Alpha warships have now been destroyed, and 10 billion people have died.
The Alpha ships will be continued on New Taranto, the U.E.S Blue Narciss and U.E.S Ragnarok. But in light of events, major re-planning is needed. Instead of 6 Alpha warships 4 will be made, and plans for the Beta warship are already going through.
The Beta is designed to combat the Azdgari specifically, defend from their attacks, and last. After Alphas 3-4 are completed, 2 Betas will be made and then 2 more Alphas, followed by 1 more Beta. All this will take a while, but it will work.
----------------------------
The UE forces return to Sol, ignoring the Seiken ships.
The U.E.S Herione fires phased rockets away until the A.S.S Beatrix is forced to run away. Pitiful Shock attacks are met with extremely powerful StarLances, that smash the Beatrix away.
THE NEW CAPITAL IS PAAREN!!! ALL DEFENCES HAVE MOVED THERE. LUCKILY, SINCE MOST OF THE UE NAVY WAS STARBOUND IN THE SOL SYSTEM, VERY FEW MILITARY FORCES WERE DESTROYED.
BETA WARSHIPS U.E.S Sephiroth U.E.S Fusion
Beta ships are 4km by 4km by 4km. They are very similar in design and visual to rubix cubes. They have 64 different cube sections connected together by a complex matrix that allows the sections to move around very fast. Many of these cubes are almost entirely armour, and considering how fast they can move around, it can place armoured sections in whatever direction is being fired.
The 64 different blocks can also come apart, and each has it's own engine. Eight of the cubes are mainly engine sectors, but all 64 have smaller cruise engines that allow them to come apart and connect together again.
The unique shape of the Beta ships means that they are heavily, but somewhat strangely armed. Large amounts of turrets line each cube, and the Beta has more than four times the turrets of the Alpha, which is 2.5km compared to 4km, but the Beta is a SQUARE 4km whereas the Alpha is sleek.
The first Beta to be made will be the U.E.S Sephiroth, and that will begin when the 3-4 Alphas have been made. Luckily enough most of the Alpha componenets were being kept on different planets, so Alphas 3-4 will be completed in about 4 posts, maybe less.
WHY BETAS ARE GOOD AGAINST ODINE/AZDGARI: The U.E.S Sephioth has a Matter Density Detector, which is a cloak detector that locates ships by searchign for the density of the atoms. The only cloak that can get around this is RMAs one. The Matter Density Detector has a high range of 1.5 systems. The U.E.S Sephiroth is armed with a horde of turrets, and some phased rockets and StarLances. It's number of secondaries is limited as it is primarily designed to use it's primary weapons.
The U.E.S Sephiroth, and other Betas, will have one special weapon. The Biological Warhead and the Chemical Warhead, both fired from the Esp.Launcher. Both the BW and the CW are large and extremely resistant. They have their own armour rating, and are difficult to destroy.
The Bio. Warhead smashes through shields, and an outer layer of the warhead is decimated, while a smaller inner section hits the armour and lets a poisonous toxin out that seeps through matter. Within a few minutes all organic beings on the ship will have died. High shields can sometimes protect against it, but only VERY high shields (100% on the largest of ships). 5 Bio.Warheads are to be carried in each Beta warship.
The Chem. Warhead also uses this clever technique of breaking through shields. It hits the armour, and like the Bio.Warhead does not need to pierce the armour to do it's damage. A highly acidic compound burns <not as in burns as in heat, in which case buckyball armour would block it> through the metal. The Chem.Warhead doesn't spread as much as the Bio. Warhead, but on many ships it can burn off the armour plating to weaken it and on ships smaller than about 1km it actually burns the inside of the ship up. 15 Chem.Warheads are to be carried as standard on Beta warships.
Work on the energy torp is now complete. Both fixed and turreted version are complete, and the new IA fighter is being put into production. The IA Fighter has enegry torps as its main weapon, 2 neutron/blaze cannons, and if wanted, either Meteor missles or spacemine layers. Its size is almost the same as the UE fighter, but without the large wings, and more streamlining. The main production version comes with no hyperdrive, meaning more shields and armour are fitted. An optional addon hyperdrive is availible, but the fighter is designed to be carried into combat.
The first IA Heavy Cruiser is now complete, with more not far behind it. It carries turreted energy torps to demolish fighters that get near it, as well as neutron/blaze turrets. It mounts a series of linked energy torps near the front of the ship, giving them a slightly increased range, and massive damage to anything that gets in the way. The heavy cruiser is made to go in fast and smash everything quickly. It only has slightly more long range weaponry than the Light Cruiser, due to more primary weaponry, and much heavier shileding and armour in proportion. The Heavy Cruiser also has fighter pods, that contain the new IA fighters, to increase the damage and distraction it can do in a battle. They are outfitted with stealth mechanisms, to reduce their sensor shadow, but a ship over 1km in length cant be hidden very well. The Heavy cruiser also uses the magnetic field more than other ships to ward of projectiles. Work is almost completed on a light energy field that can be intensified to fry circuits in enemy rockets and missles, making them useless at short range.
RMA
Rima looks at the finished Z.S.S. Gryphon.Like all Zidgar ships it's purple but instead of a pink tinge it has a red tinge to show that the U.E. had helped with some of the tech.The StarLancers had been installed.Taking Paladin's suggestion the next thing she did was work on a new weoopon and start to build another ship.Both a long time(3 posts).The weapon might take more than a long time. She took all the plans for blaze,phase and nuetron(the Paaren missions have been completed remember) and gave them to the scientists.There were a lot of half baked ideas but finally they took the best attributes from them and there strengths.Then they added other ideas from many things.
They would try to make them fast at the same time giving them a good range.Finally with the ideas in there heads the scientists decided that they would make it and would try to make it more powerful than any other cannon or turret made.Rima hoped it would work.She sent an incrypted message to Paladin and then took Z.S.S. Gryphon as her own.Larger than the Crescent Warship but because of the Zidgar technology having a lot more room it was very powerful.
As she walked inside it she wondered if she could make a ship as big as this but that was self sustaining.A hydronics bay and room for famillys. A moving home.She send that to the scientists and they altered the design of the next ship slightly.She already had a name for it too. The Z.S.S Savior.In an emergency that was where people would evacute too.It would og couse have some fuel scoops.With that vision in her mind she took the Z.S.S. Gryphon out for a run.
The work on the U.E.S Ragnarok is complete. The U.E.S Blue Narciss, it's sistership, will follow along after.
The Ragnarok joins the huge UE fleet now stationed in the Paaren system at the same time that the UE attack force from Raigar arrives.
Now Paladin intends to complete the U.E.S Blue Narciss and then build the U.E.S Sephiroth, a Beta ship, and at which point they will attack the Azdgari and Odine.
With the StarLances acting as a powerful defence, I'm intending to begin work on some new technologies....
------------------------ ENCRYPTED MESSAGE TO RIMA
I am saddened to inform you of the loss of our homeplanet, Earth. The U.E have been struck by a mighty blow, but by some amazing feat it has brought the UE together, not torn us apart.
You may be amazed to hear that a group of a hundred Scoutship, Cargo Transporter and even Shuttle pilots have offered their assistance against the Azdgari and Odine. I have told them not to do anything until, but I am interested by the extra support.
The U.E.S Ragnarok is ready, and tomorrow <next post> the Blue Narciss will be too. After that I will begin work on the U.E.S Sephiroth - the first Beta ship I will produce.
During this time my scientists will be looking at some projects. My ships are outdated, and many other alliances have devised stronger and faster ships. Thus I plan to begin work on strengthening my navy, and to do so I will work on the following:
1. Shield uprades 2. Speed upgrades
Perhaps the UE need a totally fresh selection of ships, or indeed, for us to produce some heavy warships and you to produce those Humrugar <sp?> fighters. For now we will work on something that will improve ALL ships of both our sides, so we can safely say they are the equal of the other races, and once you take our advanced weaponry into account as well, we will be undefeatable.
I have not heard from the Miranu - I fear Taylor has resigned from his position. As I ever strengthen my borders, I am wondering whether to move in to occupy Miranu space, as I know I would meet little resistance from an ally.
However, I fear that my navy, even strengthened by the Miranu forces, could not adequately hold both territories. I will give the leaderless Miranu some "suggestions" and leave defending their own land to them.
PS: Your phased rockets proved truely incredible at the battle of Raigar. I once more congratulate you on such a fantastic weapon you have made.
Paladin out.
---------------------
Paladin watches on a holoscreen as he sees a simulated fight between the U.E.S Sephiroth and an Odine Viper. The Odine Viper moves in with it's incredible weaponry and fires away, but the Sephiroth stands firm, with the outer blocks switched to armour. The Sephiroth fires back with heavy firepower, making use of it's greater mass <remember that Beta ships are very large because they are a full cube with a length of 4km, not a sleek 4km length> to help it against the Viper.
The U.E.S Sephiroth uses several ingenious tactics suggested by Paladin in the fight which will remain unmentioned, and after a long battle the Viper is knocked down to 40% shields and it's frontal guns are compromised. The U.E.S Sephiroth then moves in, the Viper flashing around at high speed, pecking away with damaged turrets, and the Sephiroth fires of 3 Chem. Warheads. The first two miss, but the third takes the Viper at the front, and a Bio.Warhead follows it. The chemical weapon burns through armour, and the biological weapon kills off the crew.
Then it is trained pilot against the AI of the Viper, and the Viper is quickly swarmed over.
PS: Don't worry, Odine and Azdgari, the simulations aren't always 100% accurate, but the Sephiroth, you must understand, is extremely powerful - almost worry of being Omega class. Plus, we know quite a lot about your Viper now, after seeing it's weapons and scanning some basic things about it.
You underestimate Shock!
Jade considers her next move. She decides that as opponents are becoming very strong, she must devise either a weapon or a technology that will make her much stronger. The StQ doesn't seem powerful enough anymore compared to huge warships.
So Jade works on the first Arc. The Arc is a small enough ship, approximately the size of a Lazira. However, it poses a great threat to anything it comes across.
The Arc's engine is a strange one. Arcs tend to rest at incredibly close distances to suns, so close that most ships can't come within such a range. They suck out solar energy instead of just picking up what comes its way, and the weapons it uses are all powered by the sun.
The Arc is designed the use suns to hurl it from system to system at incredible speeds, and it's cruise speed depends on the power of the sun, but is usually very fast.
Weapons:
SOL CANNON A beam of energy. The power of this depends on the amount of energy units stored in the Arc which are collected from nearby suns. It doesn't quite reach the same heat as Hirogen Blazes, but the beam is so enormous, that firing it hides the Arc completely behind the energy. This is really the basic weapon, and it is powerful with a reload of 2 seconds, although if you give a full-power blast it takes time to fill up on energy units.
SOLAR FLARE Manipulation of solar flares means that parts of nearby suns can actually fire out and surround targets. Solar Flares are difficult to control and can be very unpredictable.
NUCLEUS SHOCKWAVE This requires about a game week of changing a target sun. The result is the explosion of the sun itself, which is often enough to clear out a whole star system.
CLOAKING DEVICE The Arc uses a unique cloaking device, which hides the Arc by bending the light. This makes it both invisible from sight and scanners, and standard cloaking detectors can't pick it up.
SHIELDING Destroying a ship like this is an incredibly annoying pastime. It can teleport itself a short distance away, and meanwhile bend the light around it's former position so it looks like it hasn't moved at all.
The Arc will take a while to complete, and in all four will be made.
To Paladin, I am very sorry to hear about Earth.I mourn for the loss.I have already started selling the humrugar to all Zidgar.The are very strong.Almost every Zidara has them now.1/3 of the shipbuilders rush to keep up with the demands.I am also making the next of the Zidkasra a moving home.In the case of an emergency the Z.S.S. Savior will save the day.Hopefully all our ideas will work out. Rima out
Rima sighed as she thought of Earth.It had been a great planet.It would be revenged.She ordered the new weapon to be sped up as quickly as possible.It would be finished soon.The Z.S.S Savior was going along as it should and that made Rima a bit happier.The Z.S.S. gryphon had already gone on a few raids and had always succeded.She sent the 20 Zidaras with the uptated tech to the borders.The U.E. ships were in Zidgar.They all had been implanted into large raiding partys with there cloaks.They were very helpful.
Don't worry about the loss of Earth. They will pay for every single life in good time, I assure you.
The U.E.S Blue Narciss is ready now, and I'm feeling restless. I'm sending all 4 Alpha ships up to your space, and then I'm going to raid Azdgari land and kill EVERYTHING that is there. I think I'll personally go up there with my Z.S.S Topaz, too, and leave my Omega ships and UE navy to defend.
Work on the U.E.S Sephiroth has begun. Once it's ready I'm sending it into Azdgari space on a major raid, and I'm going to disable every ship I find and have every crew member killed in the most gruesome way possible - I have many scientists working on that now.
------------------------
The U.E.S Blue Narciss sails out of New Taranto and meets with the other Alpha ships, and then they all move up to Zidagar space to get ready to raid.
The work on upgrading shields and speed on UE ships is showing many problems, and will no doubt take a while to complete.
Of the 64 sections to the U.E.S Sephiroth, one, the 1st bridge, is already complete. About 15 will be done every post, probably.
A group of ten heavily armed scoutships, under orders of Paladin, travel north towards F-25. They will reach there in the next turn.
