Menslie came in the door. Kryptauros was in his chair turned towards the wall. "Sir?" "What is it Menslie?!" "The funeral service for Galahad will be later today if you want to come. Also our ships have been fitted with the new armor and the new plasma technology. Is there anything you need sir?" "No, thank you for the update. If I feel like it I will attend the funeral service. Now leave!"
Soon after Kryptauros left his palace and went to his Huver Bike to cruise around and take a breather.
------------------ Reech is coming. Get ready for it.
OOC: Grundulator, you can control the fleet that Rigadaz sent to attack Kelmoan. It's comprised of about 30,000 ships.
-------------
The Edien commander looked at his battlefleet. "Very good, engage for DSN-1154!"
The Edien fleet, composed of about 4,000 ships, slipstreamed towards the DSN-1154 system. It's mission; distract the Voinians while the other Edien fleet attack Kelmoan.
The Edien battlefleet zoomed through slipstream, and soon exited. They were confronted by the first wave of Voinian ships, which had detected them nearing the system.
"Lead ship to all vessels; attack!"
The famous Pirate captain, Lars Magna, looked over his fleet. Over 30 ships had been assembled, along with numerous frieghters that would carry off the loot. This was Lars' personal fleet, which he would now use to strike at the Renegade Alliance and later the Kayan alliance which had pestered the Pirates for so long.
"Captain, all ships ready," a lieutenant reported.
"Good, move ahead!" Lars ordered.
The fleet began to move forward, but this was not any ordinary fleet. Lars had personally overseen the refit for every one of the ships. Each ship had been enhanced, and all of the larger ships had been equipped with a new type of weapon; the Enhanced Thoron Beam. Lars had gotten a Thoron beam, and used his brilliant engineering mind to specially enhance it and make it quite powerful. With these new weapons, he was now going to strike fear into his enemies.
The Pirate fleet jumped into slipstream and headed for the Renegade Alliance system of Cetax....
---------------
All was calm in the system of Cetax. A few Renegade patrols flew through the system, when suddenly Lars and his fleet jumped in.
The Renegades immediately fired on the fleet, but they were met by an equally powerful fusillade of weapons fire. The Renegades, consontrating on the bulk of the fleet, didn't notice a small group of warships, escorting a large group of frieghters, heading for the planet.
As the warships flew through the atmosphere, blasting away anything that fired back on them or looked like a good target, the frieghters landed near the shipyards and outfitting centers and unloaded their troops.
The Pirate troops charged forward, fighting off the few Renegade guards present and started to carry off whatever they could. Supplies, cargo, weapons, even ships. For the next two hours, as the Renegades dueled with the Pirates, the Pirates on the planet carried off approximately 390 tons of supplies, weapons, and equipment. They also stole over a dozen ships and caused massive damage to many facilities on the planet.
The Pirates left the planet, and the remaining Renegades were blasted apart by the bulk of the fleet. Then, the Pirates quickly hyperspaced out before any Renegade reinforcements could arrive.
The Pirates had lost 11 ships, the Renegades had lost 23. Lars hurridly hid at his base, in the NSI-009X system, located in the Trinidad nebula. There he set to work on building a new station, as well as a new shipyard on the original one. Using the supplies and ships he got, Lars could now create his own private army and navy, unite the rest of the Pirate factions, and bring chaos to the New Galaxy.
OOC: No one can currently detect the Pirate base in NSI-009X, nor does anyone know about the jumplink which goes to NSI-009X.
-------------------
OOC: Arada Pilot has authorized me to post this for him.
Arada Pilot looked over the latest military reports. The research on the Viper was going well, as was the refit on the A.E.S. Vindicator, the only surviving Azdgari Supercruiser in existence. The other three supercruisers, the Vicious, the Revenge, and the Glory, had been destroyed in the (url="http://"http://www.carnotaurhq.com/golden_horizon/info/other_info/famous_battles.html")Battle of Azdgari(/url). The Vindicator was heavily damaged in the conflict and barely escaped with the refugees. During the last six years its battle scars had just be barely patched up and the ship was in a desperate state of disrepair. The refit on her would replace most of the outer hull as well as the aging internal circutry and a dozen other things.
Arada Pilot then looked at the next report. Construction had begun on the first supercruiser shipyard built in the last 6 years, and the reports said it would be done in four weeks (8 posts).
The final military reports just stated that the navy was in good order and the shipyards that the Azdgari had were working well. Arada Pilot, after taking another look at the jeweled saber that hung on the wall of his office, then went to the other reports.
Apparently the system directly below Deneba Minor, Nor'Thak, had two habitable planets. It also was nicely suited to a military training site and shipyard. Arada Pilot sent out an order to the colonization depart to work on colonizing the system, then got up, and took the jeweled saber in his hands. Smiling, Arada Pilot headed off to go to a special sword training site where he could practice with his saber.
About half an hour, five chopped desks, and nine severed wooden boards later, Arada Pilot returned the saber to its resting place and went off to a meeting with the Azdgari Council of Warriors.
Entering the room and sitting on a rather luxurious (sp?) chair, Arada Pilot looked at the other council members. There was General Lahkth, a veteran of the Igadzra/Azdgari conflict and an excellent defense advisor. There was also General Lazon, who was rather new to the job and very impulsive, as well as Admiral Vacor, a veteran of the Edien/Azdgari War who was nearly killed when his flagship, the A.E.S. Glory, a supercruiser, broke up over the skies of Azdgari in the battle of azdgari. He had barely escaped by getting in an escape pod, which he piloted into the fighter bay of a nearby Azdgari Warship, and promptly continued on fighting. Not long after Vacor was forced to leave when the Azdgari retreated. Finally, there was Admiral Rathan, one of Arada Pilots main advisors.
"What do you have to bring to my attention?" Arada Pilot asked.
"Emporer," General Lahkth stated, "We have no allies nor enemies in this galaxy. If we are to survive and become a great empire once again, we must make allies first, and enemies later."
"But why?!" General Lazon blurted out. "We have a large navy, and a supercruiser! Let us crush our enemies and have the element of surprise!"
"What you fail to realize is that, first off, our navy is not what it used to be, and our last supercruiser, the Vindicator, is being refited which will take two weeks (3 posts)," Admiral Vacor pointed out.
"Yes, and that is why I say that we make an alliance with the Miranu," General Lahkth continued. "If we ally with them, we won't be angering anyone, which will give us time to build up our military. An alliance with the Miranu would also give us vitally needed income and supplies for our empire."
Arada Pilot thought for a moment. "You're all dismissed."
As Vacor and Lahkth got up to leave, Lazon stood still for a moment, glaring at Arada Pilot. "You're dismissed!" Arada Pilot ordered, and Lazon finally got up and left. The emporer then turned to Admiral Rathan. Rathan shrugged. "There's one in every government. Don't worry, show Lazon a strong hand and he'll learn some discipline."
Arada Pilot then stood up and looked at a picture on the way. It was 3 feet tall, and 6 feet wide. It showed the battle of Azdgari as the Glory broke up and plummeted to the surface of Azdgari are explosions were everywhere and the battled raged around it. "Will we ever return to our past glory through all the strife we have encountered through the years?" Arada Pilot said to himself. "Will we ever become the great empire we once were? How is it possible that one species can go through so much and survive through it all?"
"Pardon?" Rathan asked.
"Oh, nevermind," Arada Pilot replied, and turned towards the setting horizon.
He stood still and silent for a long moment. "What do you think about the alliance proposal?"
Rathan thought for a moment. "It would definitely benefit us to make an alliance with them. And it would unaffect us in time of war, seeing that the Miranu would remain neutral."
"So you agree?"
"Yes."
"Very well. Go to Mira yourself and tell the Miranu of our intentions."
----------
The A.E.S. Wolf, an Azdgari Warship and Rathans personal vessel, escorted by three Azdgari Aradas, took off from Deneba and headed towards Athena, the Miranu homeworld.
Several days later, the Wolf entered the Athena system and started to orbit Athena itself. "This is Admiral Rathan of the New Raiders of Azdgari. I come with a diplomatic message from Emporer Arada Pilot, and I wish to contact the Miranu president as soon as possible."
As soon as Admiral Rathan was finished with a message, an Azdgari lieutenant ran up to him. "Sir! We've detected an Igadzra vessel in orbit. Starcaft, heavily modified, Izar class. It's hovering approximately 400 kilometers away in a lower orbit. Your orders sir."
Rathan thought for a moment. "Leave it alone. Continue on normal course. Now isn't the time to be making enemies, especially when we want to be making friends."
-----------
The Federation fleet in the Notil system regrouped then charged the Edien fleet, just as the backup fleet arrived from Igadzra. The second fleet, however, was quickly pounced upon by the Ediens, who split up their forces to deal with the two. However, this made them slightly weaker, and the Federation soon surrounded both sections and closed in for the kill.
One section was quickly destroyed, but the other section fought on. Meanwhile, large amounts of frieghters, escorted by warships, began to land on the planet and deploy millions of troops. Starfighters flew through the atmosphere, strafing Edien troops and blasting anything that would pose a threat to the troops. Warships in orbit began to bombard the Edien surface troops with torpedoes which blasted away whole companies at a time.
The Federation scientist looked at the techs that the refugees had brought with them to the Milky Way. He was the lead scientist at the New Brooklyn Tech Lab on S-570, one of the leading tech research centers in the Federation. With him stood two Kayan scientists. They were all looking over a data pad of the techs that the Kayans and the other refugee governments had to offer.
"This all looks promising," the scientist noted. "Hmmmmmm.... These Thoron Beams could prove to be useful in shield technology. According to our studies, thoron generators could give our shields not only added strength, but much improved regeneration. However, we weren't able to research much about it due to budget cuts and the research information we did have didn't give us any way to stabilize the thorons.
"If we could develope and use Thoron Generators in all our ships, they would give us a nice edge against the Ediens. What do you say?"
OOC: Thunder, you control these scientists, so you have to make them respond.
--------------
Carnotaur, once again, excused himself from the meeting and headed towards the Red October. Quickly getting in and taking off, Carnotaur soon saw what Hawk wanted to talk to him about; there was currently a 2 kilometer long battleship sitting in the Akreyhek system, and Carnotaur had no idea what it was.
Carnotaur hailed the vessel and Hawk appeared on the viewscreen. "Hello Hawk Kael. Mind explaining this all?" Carnotaur asked.

As reports of the Pirate attack on the RA arrived at Horoth Prime Command, RMA was worried.
The Akrahd had not responded atall to the recent trial run of the Aradas, and now it appeared a new Pirate threat was beggining.
Soon after 10 Freighters headed for RA space, carrying the latest mine launchers, and a full complement of mines. They had orders to lay a minefield wherever the RA wanted.(Will take 2 posts)
Research on the energy armour field began anew. The only reason the Akrahd had delayed attacks before was when they had something new. They always picked away otherwise.(3 posts)
Orders went out to increase minefield size as much as possible, and since the attack might come at any time, the bulk of the fields would be laid in normal space, as well as around planets to stop any attacks on them. Minefield density would increase massively around hyperexit points. Anything coming out would recieve a nasty surprise.
------------------
Hawk stood on the bridge and saw the massive veiw screen flick on. The Kisani smiled and said, "This, my good president, is what is going to give us an edge in the War. Both the Fedeartion and the Kiran have long lacked a ship this size. I present to you the Nisim, the first of the Resolve class Crusaders."
He turned around to veiw the bridge again, then continued. "It's a long story on how I got this ship, but it'll give us a sharp edge. The ship is the only one of her design and unknown to the Ediens as of yet, but her weaponry is similar in design to Federation, if a little different. I'm uploading everything I've managed to garner about the ship to your databases. Right now the Kiran lack a base and a shipyard with ready supplies, and the war is taking a big toal on Fed resources; but maybe we could build a few. Even another one would help us a great deal."
Hawk moved to the ship's helm console and tapped it, placing the ship in stationary orbit. "Mr. President, if you'd like, the ship is free for you to explore right now. I'd be glad to give you a grand tour of all 130 decks, and your techs can study it for a few days if need be. Just don't tear anything up or rip off my linen towels and all will be fine."
OOC: For the record, the Nisim looks like the Meowx Crusader from Quantummire SE for Override, an upcoming plug. Just a bit smaller and less powerful.

The officer felt like screaming. Why him? well, he could tell them she was in the Milky Way and have them meet with the person in charge. Who was it again? Hilnara? yes, Hilnara. He opened both channels to both of the Strand ships. "President Rima is in the Milky Way at the moment. Now, you can wait till she gets back, you can even wait here on the planet if you wish, or you can meat with Vice President Halinara. She has as much power as President Rima at the moment though it is tenous and Rima could take everything she says away. But the President will probably agree with everything the Vice President does since they usually agree on all decisions." He awaited there response. ------------------------------------------------------------- Rima sighed. The ships would soon be ready to be built and she needed somewhere to build them she looked around. She needed a Federation officer. She randomly picked one. " Hello, sir. Could you please tell Carnotaur that I would like to have a meeting at his earliest convience? Thank you. Take it quickly now." That should get her a meeting and perhaps she could build some in a few out of the way shipyards that were old and weren't used any more.

Suddenly, Rima was approached by what looked like an admiral or presidential advisor. The officer bowed slightly then shook Rima's hand. "Hello Ms. President, I am Admiral Scorcher, commander of the 7th fleet and personal advisor. I was told by a lieutenant that you wanted to give Carnotaur a message. Maybe I can help. What did you want?"

Rima smiles. Good. Someone to help her."I was going to ask for a few shipyards. We are going to start building the new ships soon. Could you help me with that?" She looks at him hopefully.
Miranu Warship: 1 post.
OOC: Carno, whose technology is the Thoron Generator? I can't give away tech that isn't my own. If the thoron generators aren't Kayan technology, the scientists will tell you to ask the proper race for permission to use it. Assuming I do have the permission to use it as I wish, here's a response -
"Of course you have our permission to use this technology, and for the month that we are here we would be glad to assist as well as we can. Of course, we ask that we and the rest of the New Galaxy races that came with us be given access to whatever we come up with."

"A pirate raid on RA space?" Militia Commander Lasin said incredulously.
"That's right," a Militia officer said. "It happened just a few hours ago."
"I thought the pirates were on the decline, and here they attack our ally's planet? We should be prepared for an attack on our space as well. Increase our military output, and begin retrofitting out the remainder of our ships like the ones the Horoth did at the joint station. With our own ships as blueprints to work from, it should only take you a couple weeks to finish the whole fleet (5 posts realtime until all ships are retrofitted). And increase production of the Enhanced Arada. We need a powerful Militia to defend our space and our allies."
"Yes, sir. I'll order it to be done right away."

Actually, it's everyones tech. Everyone has it, though the Igadzra Developed it. However, they decided to share it with everyone.
the fleet jumped into kelamoan and started shooting the first vonnians they saw.most edien ships were using EAWT's since they are so effective against vonians.the battle was over fairly short.the ediens had last only about 100 ships.the frieghters moved in and landed on the planet, which mas mad mostly of mines that they captured.as the ,miners pleaped for their lifes, the edien commander threw them back intot he mines.there was alot of wealth there.they started makeing a setlment there... --------- the head scientist walked up to grundulater. "sir, i have been looking at the attack records and i think i see what we need.they're called PDC's, planetary defence cannons.if we can research the ground to space energy tech(which would take about 5 posts), we could get one of these on every planet we own right now in 1 week(2 posts)and every new planet in 2 weeks(4 posts).also, if we are able to create a beam that shoots into the atmosphere(a PDS shield.), it could make it much stronger, so strong that only ships that have a special metal coating could get through.that would take about 4 weeks(7 posts).putting the the metal on all ships would be about 1 week(2 posts).how does that sound?" "do it as soon as posible." --------------- dreadnaught=12 posts stations=2 posts vengence=3 posts antimines=6 posts PDC=7 posts PDS=9 posts
------------------ I bet there darn tasty to.
Admiral Benden read the message, and was amazed. Apparently, the scientists has noticed their problem earlier and had started working on the problem before they had arrived in system. They were making a Dreadnought. It wasn't being made yet actually, but it was designed and ready to be submitted to the budget council and Department of Tech. It used an enhanced shield system to protect it from weapons fire while it still had enough energy to power a large amount of weapons. He TYped up a report and sent it off to President Carnotaur. He needed to see this.
------------------ "The heathens are upon us. Arm yourselves and go with God." Paul Benden, Commander of the Purple Sector Fleet, prior to the Battle of Cygni.
MOD: grundulator, post revoked. No matter how strong your fleet is, you HAVE TO LET THE PERSON YOU ARE ATTACKING DEFEND HIMSELF. I will accept the fact that your fleet attacked, though, and now you must wait for Nova6 to make a defensive move.
Also, grundulator, I am quite frankly getting sick of all these techs that you constantly research. I will accept the planetary defense cannon idea of yours but it will take 5 posts, but it will take 8 posts for you to impliment it on all of your planets. The other idea is simply too advanced.
The battle in Notil continued on, but it was soon evident that the Federation had the upper hand in the ground conflict. The Ediens had not expected the Federation to send in starfighters to strafe them and soon most ground resistence had been pulverized. As troops continued on fighting, engineers bnegan the long and tedious task of repairing all the damage that the Ediens had already caused.
Meanwhile, the massive space battle continued on as Edien and Federation warships dueled and fought. For a moment it seemed like the Ediens had the upper hand, but then a third wave of Federation and Voinian forces slipstreamed into the system and opened fire on the Edien fleet, once again giving the Federation an upper hand. Wolf packs of battlecruisers and frigates ganged up and destroyed Edien warships, and Federation Azdaras engaged in massive dogfights with Edien interceptors.
The Voinian fleet, which was also quite sizabled, returned fire in a massive fusillade of gunfire and rockets. The Ediens were smashed back, then countercharged. The Voinians were beaten back, then moved around, surrounded the Ediens, and closed in. The Ediens beat them off twice, but then the Voinians charged once more and threw the Edien armada into chaos.
However, the Voinians were severely weakened and the Ediens far outnumbered them. Calling in reinforcements from Emalghion and other nearby systems, the fleet also sent out a distress call. Admiral Vacharn, commander of the Edien armada assaulting Miranu space, also heard the message...
"Fire!" Admiral Nahar ordered as his ship and three other Voinian cruisers chased two Edien battlecruisers, both heavily damaged.
A barrage of rocket fire hit on Edien cruiser dead on, incinerating the engine section, setting off a chain reaction and destroying the ship. The other battlecruiser swung arounded started a firefight between it and the two other V. Cruisers. Nahar's ship, the Hellfury , swung arounded and blasted the enemy vessel with weapons fire. A rocket hit it in the middle, causing the massive warship to break up and explode.
Nahar grinned. It had been an excellent campaign; four Edien bases had been captured and the Voinians had only lost 30,000 vessels, 10,000 less than the expected casualties. Suddenly, Nahar was hailed by the Deamon , a Voinian Dreadnaught and Admiral Vacharn's personal ship and part-time HQ. Vacharn appeared on the viewscreen. "Admiral Nahar, I just got word from the Kelmoan base; they're under attack by Edien warships. They've caused heavy casualties but are low on ships and they don't think they'll survive. Request permission to take 30,000 ships to assist."
Nahar thought for a moment. "Very well, we'll be getting an extra 45,000 ships coming over here anyway. Leave immediately."
Vacharn nodded and the comlink was closed.
Vacharn's fleet flew into the DSN-8209 system. From here, Vacharn split up his forces. One-thousand ships were to go to DSN-1469 and raid the Ediens there and prevent them from doing any sizable raids, another 14,000 were to go to Kelmoan and help the Voinians there, but the bulk of the fleet was to stay in DSN-8209 to surround the Edien fleet. Vacharn also arranged for 1,000 of the vessels going to Kelmoan were to instead turn away and head for DSN-7962 to aid the Voinians there in case Kelmoan fell, which Vacharn feared would happen. With Kelmoan gone, DSN-7962 would be cut off from everyone else and would need extra ships to help defend it and stop the Ediens from trying to escape through the Ji Nebula.
Vacharn's fleet slipstreamed into the Kelmoan system, and, as planned, 1,000 ships headed for DSN-7962 and the rest attacked the Ediens. The Ediens, though they weren't very surprised by the arrival of the new ships, were caught in a massive crossfire which blasted apart numerous warships and fighters. Admiral Ly'rak, about the Preeminent, was also caught in this hail of warheads and energy bolts as the Edien battlecruiser shook from multiple hits. Suddenly, two Voinian cruisers attacked the Preeminent and sent dozens of missiles flying into the battlecruisers scorched hull. Ly'rak fired back, blowing off a large chunk from one cruiser, but the other cruiser continued to pound away. Suddenly, another damaged Edien battlecruiser rammed the V. Cruiser, destroying both of them in a massive fireball which engulfed the Preeminent and sent it flying back into a Voinian frigate. The frigate was split in two and exploded, but the Preeminent was also severely damaged.
Nova6 swung the massive saber down and split the massive wooden board cleanly in half. Nova6 grinned and put the saber back in its place and the two wooden boards in the garbage disposal; a simple tube which lead to a fusion reactor 100 feet below the surface. The boards would be used to fuel the reactor. Though it wasn't very effeciant, the Voinians had found it quite useful is getting rid of all the garbage that they produced each day. There was currently over 90 different fusion reactors throughout Voinian space. It was a relatively new invention, first used when the Voinians captured the technology from the conquered UE.
The saber was another story. It was over 400 years old, first used by the Voinian Emporer Revzan. It was adorned with many jewels, each jewel representing a conquered alien race. Nova6 had added two jewels of his own to the saber, a pretty good accomplishment seeing that the jewels were some of the biggest ones on the sword.
Nova6 grinned. The war against the Ediens was going well. In no time at all, the Ediens would be gone, and Nova6 would be looking forward to adding the biggest jewel of all to the saber....

It was much later. A lot had happened, but none of it of major import. SilverDragon had returned to Igadzra, and for days he had been taking part in all manner of operations, making sure that everything went smoothly, and that the Igadzra Union be restored to it's former glory.
After long consideration, it was decided. It didn't take much, the Council loved the idea. To attack NSI-231, and display all the glory of the Igadzra Union.
200 ships were prepared and sent to NSI-231.

REDchigh is outraged when he hears of the pirate attack. "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! WHY DIDN'T WE SEE THEM COMING?!" "We think they came from the nebula, sir" RED calms down a bit... "Well how did a fleet with old-fashioned weopons take out our defense fleet? I would think that 15 of our warships with escorts could've held off their thirty... " "Um.. sir.... well, there's some bad news... the pirates seem to have a powerful version of the thoron beam...." "WHAT?! " "Yes, that was their main weopon, and their element of suprise was what got us.." "Well we can't let this happen again, can we? Get all free vessels, and send them to the planets close to the attack. Send a few fighters to patrol the systems, but make the warships all land, so when the Pirates see that we only have a few fighter patrols, we'll catch them by suprise..." Also sir, The horoth are willing to place a minefield wherever we designate.."

OOC: I'll be gone for a few days. just thought I let you guys know a head of time
Sorry, Whitehawk, If you find this unnacceptable just say so, and I'll change it.
There were twelve of them, moving silently and quite agily through the ever present darkness. The lead figure held his claw up in a closed fist, gesturing for his companions to stop. He moved his head around the corner of the Great corridor of the Edien Grand Palace, and spotted one of the many guards that were assigned to protect the Emperor at all costs. Even their own lives. Which was exactly what the twelve commandoes desired.
Switching his Anti-proton blaster to the quiter stun setting, the commando leader aligned the sight of his blaster with the moving form of the oblivious guard and pulled the trigger. In a flash of light that irritated the commando team's eyes, the guard crumpled to the floor.
Now gesturing forward with his open claw, The nervous yet powerful Edien moved forward, trying to remember all the details of the palace. He knew the Emperor's residence was located on the palace's lowest level. Trying to be as quiet as possible the Commando team approached another corner.
"General Grathon, What are you doing here at this time?" A gaurd asked, startling nearly all of the commandoes.
Grathon, who was leading the commando team, turned to look at the gaurd. "I'm here to see the Emperor," he said moving his blaster up to point at the guard before he fired a shot off. It hit the unsuspecting gaurd in the center of his chest, and instantly killed him.
"Let's get back to work," Grathon told his team, his eye only slightly twitching.
Tach'usd stared out the Viewport, more than a little disturbed. At this time, Ly'rak would be in serious danger, battling through thousands of Voinian defense vessels. Their plan would start to unfold relatively soon, and then the Emperor would be captured. His arrogant and selfish thinking would drive the Edien Empire to extinction; at least, that's what Ly'rak had convinced her of. They had designed for a group of commandoes to invade the palace and capture the Emperor, finally bringing an end to his selfish ways.
Of course, none of that should have been her major concern at this point. Her mission was going to be starting soon, And Tach'usd needed to concentrate. Their next-to-defenseless captured arada would be arriving in the Riomor system soon, and the two Kisani slaves were already brainwashed and prepared to begin their part of the mission.
But for some reason, Admiral Tach'usd couldn't stop thinking about Admiral Ly'rak and his highly dangerous mission.
The commando team burst through the door into yet another dark room. This was the Emperor's private quaters, and like all other rooms they had been to, completely and entirely empty.
"Where is he?" one of the team member's asked.
General Grathon thought for a moment. "His Sanctuary. Alpha team, move out." he ordered, and the twelve Edien disappeared, leaving unconscious and dead guards behind.

The Edien guard walked silently through the corridors of the imperial palace. Suddenly, he turned a corner, and saw several guards, lying either dead or unconcious on the floor. The Edien ran back to a com pannel and shouted the alert. "Alert! All guards full alert! Possible intruder in imperial palace! I want three platoons up here at once! Move in another platoon down to Rigadaz's sactuary! Move!"
Scorcher thought for a moment. "Yes, we do have a few shipyards open." Scorcher looked at a map real quick. "Yes, we have one in Iothe and two others in Feviry that we can spare for you."
Redchigh is staring off into space, when he realizes something. There are quite a few governments he hasn't even talked to since they came through the rift... He calls for an ensign. "Tell the diplomacy ward to send a small diplomatic team to the Free worlds of Zidigar, Raiders of New Adzgari, Igadzra Union, and all of the other non-hostile govts they can pick up. "
