Flashpoint - an EVO webstory

A Voinian supply ship leaves Ylynn Outpost (the moon in the Vorik system) and picks up Lord Gwydion's escape pod, and welcomes him on board. Lord Gwydion quickly tells the captain to land, and the credits would be transferred to his account. Lord Gwydion, once on the moon, walks into the military office and orders a large fleet (15 ships: 10 frigates, 5 Cruisers, plus a supplement of 30 fighters) to find the defector's fleet and destroy it. He then sends an encrypted transmission to his Cruiser, saying that he would be on Gualon Station to find out what the hell those rumours of the Hinwar mean.

Once he sends the transmission, he orders a ship to be prepared in one hour to get to Gualon station, so he can send a message. The ship, once prepared, goes as quickly as possible to Gualon station, where Lord Gwydion asks what the hell these rumours are. The reply is brief:
'We think that the Hinwar are preparing something big. Our slave drivers have noticed a high in morale.'
Lord Gwydion orders the commander of the outpost to tighten security, just in case the Hinwar are trying something big. To help this, he orders a shipload of marines onto the station. Then he impatiently awaits the docking of his Cruiser.

Phew! I hope none of this is revoked!

PS-Lord Gwydion (the character) doesn't really know what is going on with the Hinwar, just that something big is happening.

OOC: LG, there is no way you could destroy the defector fleet, its inside UE soace now and heavily guarded.

IC: Titan copies the Voinian frigate design and starts producing Voinian frigates, but not very many.

Message to thunder(encrypted): send a message to us when you are ready to rebel, thn we'll send a fleet over to Gualon. end of message

As Lord Gwydion boards his ship and is about to go down to Gualon, the Comm officer says, 'I'm picking up a signal.... A message... it's encrypted... to Gualon. Strange. A very tough crypt to break. Definitely not Voinian. I doubt I could break it, or even figure out who or where it's from.'
'Continue to Gualon, where I shall personally see many of the slaves,' Lord Gwydion replies. If it's an encrypted message, we might be able to follow it.'
Unfortunately (for the Voinians), the signal is lost to the Cruiser on it's way down to the planet's surface. Lord Gwydion curses, then goes and sees some of the slaves who have been absent more often than the others (not very absent, just a few more times than the others, who haven't been absent very many times at all).

Thunder stepped into the communications room in the Hinwar Resistance headquarters. "Give me a link to the cloaked probe in orbit," he said to the comm operator. He complied, opening the link and handing the console over to Thunder. Thunder took the console and set the power output as low as it would go and still reach UE space. With any luck they would be able to hear this on Earth, it would certainly reach at least Verril Prime. Satisfied that the Voinians couldn't detect a power level that low, he entered a highly encrypted message to the UE.

<<Message to UE>>
<<From: Thunder, Hinwar Resistance leader>>
<<Encryption sequence Liadon-*-4 active>>

First I want to apologize for the low power level of this transmission. I had to lower the power output to prevent the Voinians from detecting this message leaving Gualon.

With nearly 10 million operatives ready to strike, we are ready to begin the insurrection. Send your force to capture Gualon Station as soon as you are ready. Be advised that the Voinians have tightened security at various military sites around Gualon, and we've seen increased Voinian ship activity around Gualon Station. It might be advisable to bring extra marines and heavy explosives to be sure you have sufficient force to capture the station. The Voinians might be suspecting something - please hurry.

Thunder out.

Report to nearest renegade station to pick up message.
<end of message>

<message at station>
Thank you for receiving the top priority message as you may have heard though you probably haven't we, the renegade leaders that you agreed to follow when you got your ship have decided that our efforts have only been a thorn in the side of the UE and other enemies, we have now decided to make our people more noticable, it is now an order for the good of all of us that you will now only hunt in formations of at least three, for any volenteers there is also a special recruitment programme that will allow us to attack planets and stations more effectively, the Renegade Special Forces, RSF, you will be officially given the death sentence should you attempt to break rules repeatatively, we are still renegades and you are still allowed to get drunk and have fun but now you are part of a powerful fleet not the old scum.
<end of message>

<message to voinian leader>
<heavy encrypt>
we have received word through physical torture of UE officers that you are in a bit of trouble and I am sure that you would welcome an alliance with us, we are more powerful then we were before, say no and we will become enemies of you as well, in your present position I advise you to think carefully.
<end of message>

There were many volenteers for RSF and the first battalion will be ready in 3 posts.

--The Eye is Upon you--
If you look long enough the Sun isn't that bright.

Kokoney reached earth and prepared to land. Noticing he couldn't land the destroyer by himself he readied himself to eject into the forest- all of a sudden, what appeared to be a task force came in to land. recognising a few of the markings as the ships in the bakka system he had his deatroyer appear to land and he jumped out before it reached to ground and blew up violently. Kokoney got up and ran for the base, but armed guards captured him before he even got close. Minutes later he was taken to the torture room.
"We know you are working for the Voinians Kokoney. Transmissions were sent ot us from Bakka about your escape in a Destroyer the set as a trap for you," the one in charged of the torturing said.
He motioned some of the guards to bring something, they brought it and left the room.
"This is a jar of vinegar," the man said with a smirk, "hope your arm hasn't healed yet."
He grabbed Kokoney's arm and put it in the vinegar. Kokoney cringed with pain. The man the grabbed a knife and mad a new cut in Kokoney's arm and added salt to the vinegar. Kokoney howled in pain. Thinking fast he spit in the man's eyes. Pulling at teh ropes keeping his arm tied he managed to get his arm free, and then stared working on his foot. The man got up just as Kokoney untied his foot, Kokoney then kicked as hard as he could. His other leg being tied to the wall resulted in a weak kick, the man grabbed Kokoney's foot and twisted it. Kokoney barely stifled a yell. Kokone then grabbed the jar of vinegar and flung the contents at the man, and then smashed the jar over his head knocking him flat. Kokoney freed his other foot but fell to the ground in exhaustion.
An old, short man with a long, gray beard walked in and lifted Kokoney to his shoulder.
"Greetings Kokoney," the man said warmly, "Myself and a few others here are defectors. We pretend to create upgrades and and design ships for UE, but send the data to the Voinians. I will take you to the others, there we will disguise you ad give you our recent data."
After a few minutes they arrived to the room. There they gave Kokoney a trader's uniform and handed him a data pad with many blueprints of UE ships and weapons.
"We also have a small ship for you," said the man who you now know as Mark Bendetti, "the ship is in docking bay 36."
Kokoney arrived at docking bay 36, and there a scoutship was waiting for him. He climbed in and started the engines when a young man walked up to him,
"You are Kokoney, right," you nodded your head, "then i am to accompany you to show the data, and be your co-pilot."
Kokoney and the young man named Ben Russel made way for voinia.
Looking through the data list he found two useful items: an item that could break trough small cloaking devices, but it used a lot of energy, and a message decoder. When they got to the hyper space safe point an encrypted message was sent through. Many ships suddenly stopped to receive it. When the message was over they jumped.
During hyperspace, they used the decoder to help decode the message. After an hour the message was decoded.
"Hmmmm. A message from the renegades," Kokoney started, "We must take this to Voinia and show this to Korane." (Kokoney doesn't know Korane is gone)
They reached Voinia and made way for his office.

OOC: I just read one part. People do know that moving a fleet through
heavily guarded Voinian space is near impossible, don't you? You'd meet a
Voinian military force in the first system.

A.S.S Beatrix,
Alexandria,

(I'm for the time being the Voinian leader, right?) Lord Gwydion's Comm officer picks up a message, and asks him to come back to the ship.
When Lord Gwydion returns (nothing really happened when he saw the slaves), the Comm officer claims that it's from the human renegade leader.
'What?' Lord Gwydion says. 'Let me see.' Upon reading the message, he immediately sends one back declaring that both sides would benefit from an alliance. Then he orders the ship to go to Isled station, where he intends to have a new ship designed, one that will once and for all crush the enemies of the mighty Voinian Empire, one that will make the powerful Borb Cruiser look like an ant.

When Kokoney discoved that Lord Gwydion was now in charge of the empire for a while he made way for sation gualon.
When he arrived he showed him the data pad with UE's technologies, including their shielding system. Kokoney then gave him an idea about the renegades,
"If we were to give the renegades some samples of our armor platings (brolev and dospect) and the some of our ship designs, would that not prove we do accept? We could combine their shields with our armor to create more powerful ships. I would be willing to meet their leader, or accompany whoever was assigned to meet the leader. What do you say?"

Lord Gwydion decides that the Kokoney should go through UE space to Omm, where Lord Gwydion will send a message telling Kiwi to meet a lone scoutship there.

Kokoney lands on Omm and a figure appears out of the shadows,
"you must be Kokoney. i am Kiwi, leader of the renegades.........."

shouldn't the pariah system also be included as renegade territory?

Meanwhile, Lord Gwydion's Cruiser goes to Isled station and orders a new ship to be developed. He gives a copy of the data pad that Kokoney brought to the lead ship designer, and the designer almost collapses from seeing such advanced shields.
'I'll get right on it,' he says.

PS-How do technologies get researched in this webstory?

i think you can just make something up about the researching.

Draco replaces one of his blaze cannons with an Emalghion cannon. He then sets off with his turncoat and discreetly heads to Earth.

He finds Titan's office, and steps inside. "The Emalghion sent me to give you an Emalghion cannon as a sign of friendship. It is being removed from my ship right now, and you may do what you wish with it."

Dragon, Drake, Draco. Out.

As the newly replenished Purple Sector Fleet achieved orbit around Luna, the Admiral smiled. The Purple Sector Fleet was being sent to patrol UE space around Mestor. The Renegades had been growing and strength and more ships were needed to fend of the attacks by Renegades. Admiral Benden liked blowing up Renegades. Although the original Bahrain had been dismantled and smelted down. Now, the Carrier U.E.S. Constitution had been transfered from the Home Fleet and one of the older carriers was recommisioned and refitted as the new U.E.S. Bahrain. However, the captain of the ship was a little superstitious about renaming the ship the Bahrain. The ships set course for Mestor and jumped as soon as they could.

ATTN: Purple Sector Fleet now consists of:
Destroyers-U.E.S. Virginia, U.E.S. Oklahoma, U.E.S. Texas, U.E.S. Thrasher, U.E.S. Devastaror, U.E.S. Maryland, U.E.S. Saratoga
Carriers-U.E.S. Yokohama, U.E.S. Bahrain, U.E.S. Buenos Ares, U.E.S. Constitution
