nah i scraped them.my ship is back in DSN-2189.nothing happened.but i have a few questions about the interdimention jumpgates. 1.do you have to have a jumpgate at the other end.if not, can you tell where your going? 2.if you fired missiles into the gate, wouldnt they just goto the other side? 3.how would you get to the other galexy to make another jumpgate so it can end? 4.if there though dimenions, are they though time.could you like, jump back to your galexy and they jump back to the other galexy in time? 5.why cant your jump frow place to place in one galexy? thanks alot, ill probobly get this much better now.
The light of the morning sun gleamed off the emerald hull of the progressing slipglider. Hawk overlooked the vessel and smiled at its progress. Much had already been done. The SAE launchers were being installed as the Kisani wacthed. He was anixous to get the ship finished, considering the map he had found in Konnels book. It was so near and close and nothing could stop him...
The Kisanis thoughts were interrupted by beep from his wristlink. Tapping the link, the Kisani answered. This is Hawk, go.
Ryan, the Crusaders first officer answered. Ryan was a human who had served aboard the Crusader for nearly ten years as first officer. He was a good man, one whom Dren trusted completly. Sorry to interrupt you, Captain, but I thought you should be the first to be...told.
Hawks eyebrows furrowed in confusion and the Kisani responed. "Tell me, what Commander? Is there anything wrong aboard the Crusader?"
"Aye, sir, there is. Captain Dren just passed on. We found him in his quarters in bed. Our CMO said he died peacefully and with no pain."
Hawk's body started to shake. In an unsteady voice he responded, "I'll be right there, Ryan." Hawk cut the link and ran towards the complex's starport where the Crusader was resting.
Hawk looked out the window of the messhall. The stars shone with a bright light and he saw one he reconigized. It was Sirabor, distant in the night sky. They had buried Dren at space as he had wished it to be. His poesions had been shiped planetside so they could be returned to his family on Kayia. The old Miranu was old and his time was to come sooner. Hawk would see him again one day, but his thoughts were else where. Over the last few days, the Kiran had lost to great commanders and they couldn't be replaced. When Dren had passed on, Hawk had lost a part of himself as well. The Zacha had taught the Kisani well since the day Hawk rescused him from his failing pod. Now his mentor was gone.
He stood alone in the mess, fingering a single data crystal. It had been addressed to Hawk personally. He had put off looking at it for sometime now, but no longer. The rouge placed it in a terminal near him and hit the acitvation console key. The symbol of the Zacha appeared on it at first followed by an image of Dren. It would've seemed three days ago.
Dren began to speak. "Hawk, if you're listening to this, then I've passed on. Do not mourn my loss, old friend, for I will be with my wife and childeren, who perished on Miranu. I've known for three years now that I would die soon, yet the reason why I didn't tell anyone was because I was tired, Hawk. I'm tired of fighting the Ediens, the pirates, but most of all, just plain tired. It has been one hell of a fight, and the damage the Crusader did to the Ediens was damn good. My personal things I assume have been sent to Kayia. That leaves one last thing to bestow. The Crusader has always had the tradition of being handed to the first officer as a gift; indeed that's how I got here 30 years ago. But this time I make an exception. The Crusader has always had a captain to fit her needs, and now she needs one who can understand both renegade and Kisani tactics. Who better then a former renegade. Ryan's a damn fine officer, but he still has a lot of learnig to do and he's barely 30 years old. This ship holds a crew of humans, Emalghion, Miranu and Azdgari; and Ryan doesn't have the skills to command a crew that diverse yet. You fit those needs, Hawk Kael. Do me this favor and take the Crusader as your own; make an old soldier proud. You have the skill to go up against the demons called Ediens and Draven knows you'll succede. I wish you well, old friend. Your Fates look after you. Dren out."
The screen went black and text suddenly filled the screen, the deed to the Crusader written in his name. Tears flowed down Hawk's face and he swept them off. This had been Dren's dying wish, so Hawk would do it. His quest to find Kisa would be put aside for a while. Until then, Hawk would lead the Kiran from aboard the Crusader. This war had just become more personal.
The Kisani tapped his wristlink and said, "Commander Ryan, I think we need to speak..."

If you have a jumpgate at the other end then you can move a lot more ships a lot faster through it. However, if you don't, then it'll still work, just not as well.
Originally posted by grunadulater: 2.if you fired missiles into the gate, wouldnt they just goto the other side?
Not really. All jumpgates are designed to destroy all weapons entering them using their built in defense systems.
Originally posted by grunadulater: 3.how would you get to the other galexy to make another jumpgate so it can end?
Look at answer to #1.
Originally posted by grunadulater: 4.if there though dimenions, are they though time.could you like, jump back to your galexy and they jump back to the other galexy in time?
No.
Originally posted by grunadulater: **5.why cant your jump frow place to place in one galexy? thanks alot, ill probobly get this much better now. **
Because it really takes far too long to do so and it really too expensive to do so, and once you build the jumpgates, their exit locations are pretty much fixed. So, though you can do so, you really shouldn't.
The Silver Talon arrived in the Motif system. Admiral Benden had recieved a message that he was to lead an offensive soon, but he had not heard any details about it. He had heard from one of his sources that President Carnotaur was hear, so he had come to inquire about his next mission. He looked at the TDC next to his chair, and saw that the Red October and her escorts were in system. He ordered the pilot to match courses and speeds with the ship.

Carnotaur, awaken by his alarm clock, got up and prepared to go to the bridge. Entering the hallway, Carnotaur noticed that no one was around. "Strange, there's usually a lot of people around here," Carnotaur thought to himself.
Walking through the hallways and corridors on his way to the bridge, Carnotaur realized that no one was around. When he entered the bridge, all he say on the view screen was white light. And, no one was around.
Carnotaur suddenly became worried. "What happened to everyone?" He rushed over to a control pannel to see if anyone was still on board. The scans turned up negative. "What happened!?!" Carnotaur started to become panicked. Suddenly, the door blasted open and three Ediens ran in. One of them level a blaster at Carnotaur. "You're alone, all alone now!" And then he fired.
------------
"GAH!" Carnotaur awoke with a jolt at the sound of his alarm clock. "Wha? What happened?" Carnotaur thought to himself. Then he realized; it had all been a bad dream.
Carnotaur shook the thought off then got dressed and walked up to the bridge. To his surprise, Admiral Johnson was there. He turned to Carnotaur. "Mr. President, I've been wanting to speak with you. All our forces have been assembled, we now have 2,000 vessels prepared for the assault, and over 2 million ground troops. We are ready to attack."
"Very good. When will the Voinians launch there offensive?"
"Within 36 hours of now sir."
"Very good, now, get to your ship. Communications; send a message to the fleet, we're moving out. Helm, move us into position and prepare to go to slipstream."
Within about 10 minutes the fleet was organized and ready. Then, Admiral Bendon jumped into the system. Carnotaur then hailed him and informed him of the situation. Currently, the Federation was about to attack and invade the Norhis system. Bendon, along with Admiral Johnson, were to command them. Once Norhis was invaded, it would be used as a stepping-off point for the invasion of the rest of Igadzra space. Benden was to command this. Carnotaur would monitor from the side lines. Carnotaur then closed the channel then gave the order to the fleet and to Benden.
"Engage!"
The Federation fleet zoomed into hyperspace for Xix, and then Afen, and then Volosc. Next stop; Norhis...
---------
Carnotaur then looked at his own helmsman. "Set course for the Akreyhek system immediately. Engage!"

OCC:from now on i am lord grunadulater. ---------- "ok we dont have time to wait for him,"grunadulater said a day later"i want about 20 battlecrusiers,35 destroyers, and 50 seperate intercepters.it loks like about 40 ships now.mabey more.also send a scout over there to go from the Funit system to the Xix system." "aye my lord, it should be ready in 3 standered hours." --------- in the launching bay, a tiny scout, composed of sensors and computers was launched to the Funit system. ---------- posts until ESCD id finished-4
MOD: Uh, Bendon, I'll edit my post and say that you went along with the fleet to attack Norhis and I stayed behind in Motif.
grundulator; the Feds have a lot more ships than just 40. They have about 2,000.
remeber i stated that our sensors arent that good.we only see 40 :D. ---------- the probe saw nothing. "where did it all go?"commander lynix whined "theyere eather knew we had alot or are jumping to attack."a tech worker runs in. "uhhh m-m-my lord......we s-seem to have f-found them.come w-w-with m-me."he looked as though he was about to cry.they all whent to the sensor room.there were at least 1000 ships 1 system away.grundulater seemed calm. "not alot to worry about, its ok,"he turned to the vidscreen in the tech room and called the comm officer,"send about 10000 more intercepters and 500 battlecrusiers here from nearby systems. "if anyone needs me, i shall be in my ship." --------- grunadulater decided that the EAWT needed more acruracy. "how long would it take to install it into our ship with better accuracy and less power." "well my lord, about 5 days(2 posts)."

Crusader
Type: Crescent Warship Shields: 400 Armour: 200 Speed: 350 Acell: 210 Man: 150 deg/sec Lenght: 170 meters Crew: 100
Weapons: 3 Quantum turrets 3 Quantum cannons 2 SAEs +50 modules 2 Quantum Torp. Launcher+40 torps Fighter Bay capable of holding 4 fighters 3 Fed Azdaras
Equipment: Slipstream Drive Sub-space shielding Multi-reflective armour
Brief History: Since the Crusaders construction over 75 years ago, the ship has seen several dozen major battles. The Crusader was built larger then expected and as such gained some extra qualites As was tradtion when the captain died or retired, the ship was given to the first officer. It has seen many major upgrades over the years and as such has become more advanced. The most recent major upgrade occured some five years ago when former Zacha Dren, commander of the ship for 30 years, barely made it out of a battle with an Edien Frigate. It was set down at an unknown island starport on Kisal. The ship was badly damaged, so it was decided to severly upgrade the ship, as the most of the weaponry was out of date and useless against the Ediens. They made contact with certain people within the ranks of the inhabitits and aquired certain technology. Phase weaponry was replaced with quantum weapons, slipstream drive replaced after the hyperdrive gave its last jump to Sirabor. Subspace shielding was aquired as well, not to mention Multi-reflective armour. Twin quantum torpedo launchers replaced two SAD launchers while the SAE launchers stayed. The trio of Crescent fighters had been lost, so were replaced by a trio of Federation Azdaras. The Azdgari chief engineer decided to upgrade the ship's mavuerability & engines This overhaul took nearly four months, but was well worth it. The Crusader had a chance to survive the Edien war for another seventy-five years...hopefully.
Hawk overlooked the workplace one last time. The slipfighter was almost done, but as much as his quest to find Kisa was great, he had a promise to make. He would command the Crusader from the front lines and the Kiran as well. It was well past time to take the offensive and reclaim their home.
The Kisani looked further down the field to see the Nisim, the ship he had called home for many years. His things had been relocated to his new quartrs aboard the Crusader. The Nisim would be stowed here until needed. The slipfighter however was going to Kayia. Perhaps the scientists there could work with it until Hawk came to claim it. Until that time, he would be at the front. The Kisani shook his head and grabbed his vest from the bench near him and put it on. The vest was carefuly made, made from black leather and the cuffs and sleaves were tooled with silver thread. It was the uniform of the Zacha before their destruction. Funny that he, a former renegade would be wearing something like this.
He walked away from the overrailing and headed to the azdara he had flown to the surface. Hawk stept in and headed to the cockpit and two minutes later the ship rushed spaceside at great speed.
Hawk left the docking bays of the Crusader, his azdara having made the trip safely. The Kisani walked down the corridors of the great vessel and saw many looks from the crew who passed him. He nodded to them as he passed. Stepping into a turbolift, he ordered for the bridge.
To say the Kisani was calm was a lie. Hawk had led the Kiran, but never a warship. This ship was a living history, made 3 quarters of century ago. Over time she had had many refits and the names of all her captains were listed in the mess hall on a special plaque. It would be hard to command from a captial ship, but Hawk had made a promise.
The lift doors opened up to reveal the spacious bridge. Crewers went from station to station, doing their duties. Over in one corner, his new first officer Amber Ravens, was working with the communictations officer on details. Ryan had requested a command of the Kiran fleet stationed here on S-570. Straight ahead sat two chairs, one for the captain and one for the first officer. This made Hawk feel a bit quezzy, a feeling he rarely got.
As the Kisani walked out onto the bridge, everyone turned to him. Ravens let out a shout, Captain on the bridge! and everyone stood at attention. Hawk smiled and said, At ease, everyone. When he saw everyone calm down and relax, the new captain stepped forward and headed towards his command chair. All eyes followed him, and Hawk knew they were expecting a speach.
The Kisani took a deep breath and said, Draven once said that we may mourn our fallen but we must ensure their deaths were without vain. Dren and Voan were two of my closest friends, and both died the way they wanted to. Voan in battle against all odds and Dren peacefully in sleep. Their prescense will be missed greatly, but we must move on. There is a force beyond reason out there, content only with taking our home. Already our peoples have either left or been killed. The Miranu worlds have been shattered, many lives lost. The Azdgari Empire, one of the greatest civilzations known, has fallen. The Ediens have taken our homes and our families. But I say no more! Let them work hard for every system they try to take; kill two of their ships for every one of ours. The Ediens have speant enough time in our galaxy, and I say they should leave. With that he sat down.
There was a silent appluad as the people veiwed their new captain. Ravens came and took her place at Hawks side. All she said was, Welcome aboard captain. Hawk nodded and smiled his thanks.
In a calm tone, the Kisani said, Helm, take us to Motif. We strike from there. The helmsman nodded and the ship headed away from the moon and opened a jump point. Within seconds, the Crusader was gone.
PROJECT BUILDING Project name: slipfighter time til completion: 1 post
MODERATION: grundulator, please edit your post. Yes, the Ediens do have 2 million ships in the milky way galaxy, but that in the entire milky way galaxy! There are tons of planets, each of which has a defense fleet of about 1000, and 800 of those are fighters. Also remember that each of the four jumpgates in the milky way each have 25,000 ships guarding them, with 20,000 of them being fighters. As you can see, the Ediens don't have tons of ships open.
"I don't understand why the latent energy lattice is affecting ships that don't pass through it directly," one scientist mused aboard the Kayan Arada labelled "Research Squadron 3".
"Maybe it has a polarizing effect on the surrounding space," another scientist said. "That would explain the similar effects on the hulls of passing vessels."
"We'll have to look into that..." said head researcher Kecin. "Run a scan for traces of polarization in local stellar bodies - you know, asteroids, comets, spacedust and the like - and in the fabric of space itself."
---
The Horoth ships in the Horthak system moved into attack formation as they detected half a dozen unidentified vessels entering their system, but backed off into a neutral formation when the vessels identified themselves as a Kayan convoy.
"Kayan captain to Horoth officials," a comm signal came through to the military command post on the planet, "We have the plans for the Crescent variant station as well as what building materials we can spare. We're ready to proceed with you to the building site when you are ready to begin construction."

"my lord, the improved EAWT is complted.when would you like to test it?" "right now.equip some interceptors with it and blast some astoriods.try it with some destroyers to. then try it with the dark voyager." "aye my lord."5 hours later, 6 intorceptors came out of the dark voyagers bay and 2 destroyers exited from the planet.the intorcepters all fired at edifferent astoriods.the effects were different. as a beam hit an astoriod, a wave would be sent over its surface and it would explode into small fragments, not quite pebbles.there was no fire or explosion.with the destroyers, the beam was larger and when it hit and astroyiot it took longer but the astoriod disentegrated into dust particals.it took longer to recharge though.when the battlecrusier tryied it, the beam was extreamly fast and it blew up the riod withing milliseconds in a fiery blast that lowered nearby ships shields a fraction.then the probes came out .with very little shields, the probes could be destroyed instantly.but when the beam hit them, it bounced off and hit astoriods.when a beam was fired at a shielded probe, the beam changed diretion and hit a non shielded probe.the test were over. --------------- Edien Atomic Wave Transmiter (EAWT) armour damage: imediate defragmentation shield damage: 0 speed/reload: tractor beam(EVO) exept not fuel comsuming --------------- posts till ESCD done=3 --------------- withen 2 days, all ships in the norhis system had EAWT's and a message was sent to emporer Rigadaz about the schematics of the EAWT.

OOC: Uh, grunadulater. Two days after your trials, all of our ships would be in system. It takes a BC 12 hours to travel from one system to another. ----------------------------------------- Admiral Benden listened to the comm message again. Running a fleet battle had not been what he expected. Well, that was his wish when he had gotten this ship, and now he wasn't sure that was what he wanted. He looked at the amount of ships in the system. He didn't want to be responsible for the lives of their crews. Oh well. Whats done is done. He was a commander, even if he wasn't so sure he liked it. He heard a message from the Red October, "All ships: form up on the jump point and engage slipstream." ----------------------------------------- When they came out into the Norhis system, they began active sensor scans. The sensors officer reported that there were what were possibly hyperspace signals coming toward the system, but they appeared to be of only a small threat as they were too far away to do anything. Benden opened a comm channel to all ships and spoke. "All ships prepare to perform insystem jump." He pressed a button. "I am sending you the coordinates. Encryption Derra 114." The plan was to perform an insystem jump straight into the enemy formation. Some destroyers were to jump into the middle of the formation and dump as many salvoes of torps as possible into the bigger ships. They would then skirmish along the sidelines and take on some fighters and assist the other ships in taking on the remaining cruisers. The fighters would be launched early on and form wolfpacks and hunt down other fighters. He watched as the stars became starlines, and hoped that the plan would work. If it didn't, the Federation still had a few tricks up their sleeves.
you see thats the point.when your ships are in, i get reinforcements.but you dont know that.
OOC: Not really. Federation Sensors are just as good as Edien sensors, and thus they would be able to detecting approaching sub-space disturbances, which would signal an Edien fleet.

The Red October jumped into the Akreyhek system. Carnotaur looked around and then spotted the newly completed Kaya Station II, which would house the massive transmitter.
Docking with the station, Carnotaur then met with the lead scientist and asked several questions about the project. Carnotaur then nodded. "Very good. Now, how long will this all take?"
"Should be done in about half a week or so sir (two posts)," the scientist replied.
"Very good," Carnotaur said, then headed off to the Red October...
