There hasn't been any bars for a while so...
Just a few rules... -You can't destroy the universe or the bar -No "destroying all worlds, except for Voinian worlds" (are you listening, Lonevoinian?) -No destroying everything but the bar -No killing me
That's all the rules, Here goes....
UE Patriot is flying among the Miranu worlds in his modified UE Dreadnought, the U.E.S. Caracas. He gets a mission to fly some stuff to Council Station. Once landing on the station, he realizes that that small part of the station that he is in is ample enough space for a large bar. So he builds a bar on Conucil Station, and the Council thinks that it is OK. In fact, everyone can go to Council Station bar, regardless of anything. UE Patriot finishes building the bar when suddenly...
God bless,
UE Patriot

Captian LeGrenadier walks in carrying a large cardboard box. He turns to UE Patriot. "You the bartender?" He asks "nice place you got here. Not sure how ya got the approval of the council but...say, couldja give me a hand with this?" He puts the box on the floor and pulls out a razor blade. Carefully, he slices through the packing tape, then pulls out some foam cubes, revealing a....

He mentions that he believes he will never return to Earth, because there is someone who haas been following him since he arrived on his first Strand planet. He also reports that the ship is like no other ship he has ever seen. He says that it is...

...Weepul 884. Everyone in the bar groans, thinking that the info would be something interesting and weird. Weepul 884 is known for designing ships, his own usually invoking a feeling of wonder and uneasyness. Through a strange coincidence, that same Weepul 884 is sitting in the corner sipping his Crescent Non-Intoxicating Fizz. He looks up and grins. The Starkiller hologram keeps talking...
------------------
Repeating the message several more times untill Captian LeGrenadier shuts it off. He thinks to himself for a moment then turns and looks at Weepul. "Mr.884" he says. "Do you know of this ship and whom it may belong to?" Everyone in the bar (UE Patriot, Captian LeGrenadier and the now silent Starkiller hologram) turn to face Weepul. "Well?" CL asks.
"That ship is mine," says a deep, hostile voice from the entrance. "And you shouldn't even be talking about it. If anyone messes with it, or tries to do anything to it, you're all dead. I know which ships are yours, every one of you. Including you, Starkiller - you may be a hologram but I saw your ship."
The group is aghast! They look at each other. They have no idea what to do, until...

A whispery, barely audible, voice emerges from the darkest corner of the bar. "Is that a threat, Joolzman?" It was none other than the famous Azdgari pilot, known only as goomeister, who had become Baron Administrator of Council Station after winning the station in the Battle of Gadzair and opened to the public the very bar in which these events were taking place. "For if it is, we shall show you the full fury of our fleets. Now answer my question: is that a threat?"
Time seemed to freeze in that moment. The bar's patrons awaited Joolzman's answer.

Samurai, the famed Council Warrior and Fighter Pilot, walks into the bar, unaware of the scene underway inside. As he steps in, everyone in the bar looks up, wondering what Samurai's purpose is for coming down to the bar. "Hey, why the long faces?" he asks, not yet aware of Joolzman or goomeister. Weepul mutters something to Samurai, and gestures towards goomeister and Joolzman. Samurai nods and takes a seat. All eyes return to Joolzman...

...when forge, drunk off his ass on Saalian Brandy comes staggering out from the basement. "Heylo!! How ya'll doing?" he asks the group as they stand there wondering what the trickle coming from his pants leg onto the floor is. A bouncer quickly comes over and escorts the inebriated bum out of the bar.
"I'll remember this!!" forge shouts as he's hauled into the corridor.

...The doors on the bar swing open and Captain Carnotaur, the famed Azdgari pilot with an Ultimate Combat Rating and a deadly Voinian Cruiser, walks in. Seeing everyone eyeing Joolzman and Goomeister, Carnotaur appears to ignore Joolzman, and walks right past him and up to the barman, UE Patriot. Sitting down, Carnotaur orders Saalian brandy. As the bartender gives him the drink, suddenly...
Carnotaur swings around phase beamer beam in hand. Carnotaur points the beam at Joolzman, and fires. As the stream of disrupted energy smashes into Joolzman, everyone in the bar ducks down. As Joolzman gets up, he sees Carnotaur lunge at him. The bigger and stronger Carnotaur wrestles with Joolzman, but he throws Carnotaur off. Getting up, Weepul distracts him long enough to let Carnotaur get up and stun Joolzman with a phase blaster.
Then, Carnotaur sends a message to his ship, and his group of nine Igazra escorts, to be on the alert and watch out for any Joolzman allied attacking ships.
After that, Carnotaur looks around. "Well? What's this with Joolzman? What did he want?"
------------------ To Escape Velocity: Nova and Beyond! -------------- Millennium. Its coming, prepare for it. Coming to the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiaSW.com/games/ev/chronicles.html")EV Chronicles(/url).
"I know what he wants," says a new voice from the door.This unknown pilot has just landed his Battle-scarred Azdgari Arada right outside the bar. He is decorated with many medals. "He was looking for me." Everyone in the bar turns to him. "I was Starkiller's wingman on an exploration mission for the UE. We got split up when we were forced to jump randomly out of a system full of renegades. I haven't heard from him since, though I've heard stories. It appeared that his ship jumped north, but I'm not sure. I went West and met with the Azdgari. I then explored south, searching for Starkiller on some hints that he had been hunting renegades. At south tip station, I met an Azdgari who needed my help and that's how I met Joolzman." This mysterious human casts a glance at Joolzman and fingers his phase pistol. He then sits at the bar and orders a drink. Everyone looks to Joolzman, who is now recovering, for an end to this story...
------------------ Is the answer to this question 'no'?
..."He want's Starkiller, of course", A deep baratone voive rumbles. Everyone looks to the entrance, and see the infamouse Captain DeBlazio, Miranu mercinary and captain of the Crescent Warship Thor's Mjoulner. On either side of him were mercinaries from the 'Mjoulner, holding blaze pistels at their side. "I've been tracking him for some time now, but I can't figure why he want's Starkiller in the first place, any one care to guess?"...
------------------ All rise in the presence of Dark Helmet
...when the station alarm goes off. A ship like no other has appeared. It looks like a Crescent Warship, but any idiot can see that it has Voinian and Strand Faction technology on it. All of the video screens are pirated by an image of a grizly man. "Where is he?" the man growls."I am the Starkiller, and my sensors have shown that Joolzman's ship, the Crown Jewel, docked with this station. My guns are poised to destroy this station if he is not handed over." The bar's patrons don't know what to do. They have no way of contacting the ship, telling them about Joolzman. They ponder what next to do, when...
A completly odd ship goes past, it appears to be made out of an astroid, a fridge, and a large bottle opener. Or at least it looks like that. the ship docks, and in comes a strange, very tall, stranger, with a long black overcoat on and an array of weapons around his belt. He kinda looks like Mad Max from Austrailer and Darf Vader, except without the mask, and this time he's got spiked up blondish-yellow.... ish, hair. "I'm Daft Raider. Anyone got a known for a bloke who was searchin for a bloke who nick me car, erm, ship, and left me with the SS Big hunk 'o' Junk out their.?"

"Oh, sorry. I forgot, StartKiller, that's the one. I think. You nicked me ship! Give it back or my name isn't Captin Dart Raider AKA that is..." You are the bloke that nicked it aint ya?
"Oh wait maybe it was," Darft Farts and blows the hat of an Admiral."Oops, sorry, hmmm, pardon me, twas that chick vindaloo i found in that storage box in the ship, i think it might have outlived its sell-by-date...."
A transmission was sent to Starkiller from Council Station. The Azdgari in it did not look pleased.
"Hail, Starkiller. This is Fleet Commander goomeister. I find your demand almost laughable! Joolzman will be dealt with as I see fit. Any agression will be met with stiff resistance. So warned, have a nice day. :)"
goomeister prepares his ship while, like the rest of the bar, awaiting the next move.
..."What!" Captain DeBlazio storms. "I've been studying Starkller for most of my life", he say's to Goomeister. "I beleive Starkiller is in the right here." "And if you even THINK about scraping that nice blue paint on his hull than you'll have to answer to me, my crew, and ny ship." DeBlazio says vhematly. "What will it be?"
Captian LG has been sitting, mostly forgoten, in a corner of the bar drinking his glass of mineral water and thinking to himself. About 5 mintes after Starkiller has thretened the station, he gets up and reactivates his hologram generator. The image of the starkiller reapears. "You lied to us" Captian LG states firmly and without emmotion."You fed us some fantastic tale about seeing a strange ship of Weepul's and then you come and threten to kill us all, which I must remind you is not permitted by the rules of this bar. Not that it matters to you. I have an announcement to make" he turs to the patrons of the bar "to all of you. I am a member of the council for which this station is named. Therefore I have the power to, and already have, launched the defense fleet. If you think you can handle that many crecent warships Starkiller, feel free to engage them. Otherwise I suggest you leave the system, and pronto. Your choice...
"I think you'll have to answer to me , my crew, and my ship, and all of this station's gun emplacements," replied goomeister. " Event Horizon will be ready as soon as you are."
