(message to: Mamajama) (message fr: Raven) (message re: Slugs) Thanks for that! Things are fine over here work progresses. Here's the schematics for the Singularity Shields. The slugs might just help - in fact that mail has helped somewhat in itself. If we couple the beam with sensors to read what the shield frequency of the firing ship is, we'll be able to have the beam regulate itself to fit, therefore meaning that the beam can fire even if the Acarra send the shields into flux. It ought to take a little more time (+2 posts) to make, however. Thanks for the SCUM and GRIM; I'm sure it'll come in useful sometime. The psi thing I don't know about - it's a pretty shadowy field of endeavour. Ciao, -Raven
(message to: ESPilot) (message fr: The Seraphim) (message re: Singularity research) Greetings. Attached are the schematics for Singularity Shielding, but we have to give you the bad news as well; the Singularity Beam will now take a little more time (+2 posts) to build. This will enable us to incorporate sensors which can read a ship's shield frequency and adapt the beam's frequency to suit. This way the beam will still be able to fire even if the Acarra should send one's shields into flux. Ciao, The Seraphim -Saraine -Rasael -Raven
OOC: What you two can do is to post a reduction of one post in the research time of the Beam every time you post. That's the easiest way to arrange three governments researching one thing.

OOC: Carno, only 1 ship was sent to each system ---------- The Defender in the Dargol Thela system answered, just as the other Defender jumped in. "We just want to know more about your race, and if possible, peace." The other Defender spoke on thier channel. "They tried to kill us! No light... there was no light. I don't think we could have stood the Darkness anyway. We had to leave... we had barely said ten words before they fired. Why are the Dark so mad?" The Gyn'Thar now spoke. "The Dark are an Xenophobic alien race." The first Defender spoke again. "So, all we want is to have peace with you... and prehaps an alliece, but we wawnt to konw more about your culture first. Wait, tell us if your going to blow us up before you do so we can get out of here." ---------- (message to Confed HQ) (Milky Way code) "Well, we found out that the Dark Empire are Xenophobic and everything they own is... dark.

MOD: It isn't that easy, Shade. The Warp Disruptor Torpedoes send it into a state of EXTREME flux. It essentially phases the shields to 2,439,000 different frequencies in .5 seconds. You can do it, but expect it to take 2 more posts to research that facet of the technology.
----------------------
Dargol Thela
The Gyn'Thar were a bit more than skeptical about the Confeds, and decided they needed to make sure that they were telling the truth.
"You will lower your shields immediately and prepare to be boarded by our forces. After we inspect your ship and make sure you are telling the truth, we will let you go."
Muid System
The Acarra were now just trying to distract the Azdgari fleet long enough for the fleet in nearby Kelmoan to do its job. Trying to take as little losses as possible, the Acarra were now slowly backing up, but made sure that their retreat was careful and coordinated, and gave the Azdgari no advantage over them.
Kelmoan System
The Acarra were continuing to selectively devastate the colony while Lythrawn's main force fought in nearby Muid. Within a few minutes, all military installations on the planet were destroyed, several thousand were dead, and millions more were fully incapacitated be fear and torment.
Leaving the system, with the effects of their psionic attacks lasting for days, the raiders then moved on to their next strike target...
Molar System
The battle in Molar was the same as it was in Kelmoan. The small Azdgari force was destroyed or chased off, and the Acarra began the selective destruction of the planet below. Shipyards and troop barraks were destroyed and military offices were laid to waste. As panic swept across the planet, the Acarra began their mind attacks.
Torment and terror seemed to fill the air as millions began to experience incredible pain. Many were just killed by the Acarra, their brains overloading with psionic energy and beginning to fry on the spot. People went mad and turned against each other. It was horrible.
------------------------
Slug Research - Nemnel System
Scientists continued to work on trying to understand what the Shamtul were saying. They appeared to be rather annoyed that they were captives, from what the scientists could tell at least, and slowly, bit by bit, more of the language was translated, though always rather crudely.
The Acarra Navy
While all this was going on, the Acarra were repositioning their fleets. Much of the ships from the other fleets were being moved to aid Lythrawn. Once the total relocation was complete, Kelmoan had 50 ships, Holmm had 50 ships, DSN-1469 had 50 ships, Garren (Lhevak set up a base here) had 45 ships, Dewe had 50 ships, Qerid had 50 ships, DSN-2131 had 45 ships, DSN-6253 had 45 ships, Omm had 45 ships, Troub had 45 ships, Huron had 50 ships, and the fleet attacking Muid had 200 warships. Most of the ships, however, were not from the fleets; instead, they were from Acarra border worlds, which had moved their fleets up to the new borders.

OOC: How does UEA know about my newest hyperdrives? They haven't been used in combat at all, and it would be impossible for UEA to have spies in the Zidigar government without them becoming living plastic. But oh well. And Carno, Shade already said in his post it would take 2 posts longer than expected. Cut him some slack.
Kalej was looking through the new messages. "Interesting...I'll have to send these claws to Kennel. If they can make them sufficiently bigger, we could make plenty of them with these 'replicators' the Coalition is promising, but I don't think we should give away the newer hyperdrives. Perhaps just the ones that can hover in subspace. Yeah." He sent a message to U.E. Admiral.
<Message to UE Admiral> <From Zidigar Vice Admiral Kalej> <encryption code 1337M4N>
I will accept the Coalition's proposition, on behalf of Admiral Espilot. However, we unfortunately cannot give you the newst standard hyperdrives; that would be too much of a security risk. But we will be able to give you the specifications for some of the older models, which would still surpass your most advanced hyperdrives. They are attatched to this document. Kalej Out.
<End Message>
Kalej then called up an ensign. "Take one of these samples to Kennel at the R&D; facility." He handed the ensign one of the slug claw samples, and the ensign said "Yessir!" "Now...let's get these Singularity Shields fitted onto our ships...we'll be needing them for the beams." he said to himself. He had an idea as to how the slug claws could become useful. But first they needed to make them big enough. ---- Slug Claw Growth: 7 Posts

Suddenly formidable fleets of called and frantically repaired vessels jumped into both Muid and Kelmoan- catching both Acarra fleets off guard. With nearly a hundred ships in both systems, the Acarra met their match, and several freightors full of draiek modules and rockets kamikazed into many strategic acarra ships of both systems...

OOC: I don't have any ships in Kelmoan, Red. Only in Muid and Molar.
The Acarra continued to systematically destroy all military structures, and at the same time terrorize or kill the civillians with their psi attacks. Already huge amounts of damage had been done (including the destruction of several shipyards) and the whole civillian population was in pain, going mad, or experiencing horrible and terrafying hallucinations.
The Acarra continued to fight on, using up all of their artillary weapons on the Azdgari fleet. As they continued to back up faster and faster, the Azdgari continued to suffer heavy casualties. Suddenly, a damaged Wolf Starcruiser lost its shields, and simply charged into the enemy, exploding in a huge fireball which incinerated a predator and over a dozen Azdaras, while damaging many more.
Finally, the Acarra fleet had all of their Wolf Starcruisers (there was about 18 of them) hyperspace out towards Molar to aid the raider fleet. The rest of the fleet stayed for a considerable while longer before finally hyperspacing back out, leaving behind a horrendously damaged Azdgari fleet. The Acarra had lost several of their own ships, but the Azdgari had also lossed many many more; a little more then half of their second fleet had been destroyed, and all of the original Muid defense fleet had also been incinerated. Not to mention the relatively minor casualties the Azdgari also suffered to the raiders in Kelmoan and Molar.
Dargol Thela System
The Gyn'thar quickly began the boarding process, sending several dozen assault troopers onboard to deal with the Confederate personnel. First, all Confed officers and soldiers were rounded up and brought to the cargo bays, where they were all searched and scanned thoroughly. Meanwhile, the rest of the ship was also thoroughly searched and scanned, before finally the Gyn'thar brought the ship to their military headquarters in Gyn'thor, which was also their homeworld.
There, the captain was brought before the Supreme Viceroy; the leader of the Gyn'thar, who's name was Kalan Daeron. He spoke, with several bodyguards behind him, and several assault troopers surrounding the Confed captain. "Who are you? What do you want? Tell me about your species and your space."

When the freighter full of Mechs arrived at Poch, it became a high priority to fit the Mechs with slug claws. All available technicians worked around the clock. One found that, by "teasing" the slug claws with munb leaves at the point where they would join the Mech's hands and feet, the claws would grow tendrils which would then attach themselves to the existing metal of the Mechs.
Meanwhile, the language learning progressed. The slugs and the researchers now had a common vocabulary of around 250 word/symbols, activated by the slugs pressing buttons on the board in their enclosure. They were ready for a conversation.

OOC: What's this? I never said the Acarra don't use hyperlinks. They just use a different KIND of hyperspace travel (slipstream to be precise) which allows them to go faster through hyperspace and ignore the Zidagar Hyperspace Jammers. How exactly does this vehicle of yours work anyway?
I'd also prefer if you wouldn't get so angry about not being able to do something. I have a lot of stuff that I could get angry at you and everybody else about, but I don't.

NO! i wont! that stealing and it would loosen the bonds that bind us from war. im sure they will give us the design when they are ready.

OOC:I forgot, who had the really nice and good cloaks? ------------------------------------------------
Paul was standing in the new control room for New Hrekka Station. The fleet had gone back to Mira since the Accara seemed to be off bothering the Azdgari at the moment. He listened to a few reports from the science labs and then heard a very distinct fire order come across the comm. On one of the many screens in the control room, he watched as a streak of painfully bright pure white light shot out towards an asteroid that had had a shield generator installed and was two kilometers from the station. The torpedo got there and incinerated the asteroid. Reports showed a 100% rate of total dissolution of atoms. The electrons had all spun off of the atoms and where now shooting around between the small particles of metal that made up parts of spacedust. The nucleii of the atoms had been burst by the antimatter, sending neutrons out in a very small area from the blast, not to similar as to what would happen if the Voinians neutron cannon had been turned intol a bomb. The protons seemed to have just been flung everywhere. The shielding had offered little resistance. A second shot was fired, this time at an asteroid that was predicted to hit Mira in 2765 years. It was the size of a Ares CW, was about 60 kilometers away, and had no shield generator. As the torpedo streaked out toward it, it slowly lost some of its bright shine. It was half a meter from the asteroid when the magnetic containment destabilized and released the anti-matter. The anti-matter had little mass, but nothing kept it from reaching its goal. In the half meter to the asteroid that was left, the antimatter spread to a circle that was about 2 meters in diameter and then it hit the asteroid, blowing a very large hole in it.
After the results had come back in, Paul walked down to the science labs to congragulate the researchers. On his way down he saw several researchers run off in some direction or another. When he got down to the lab, he siad hi to everyone there, and congragulated the lead researchers and developers. As he left the room, he was beseiged by several scientists, technicians, and shipwrights who all had ideas and thought he needed to hear them all. He handed out his datapad and it was passed around for everyone to upload their concepts and designs to it. He then sent the blueprints for the torpedo to UEA.
That night, he was sitting in his quarters reading through the ideas. One of them seemed most interesting. Most were just for improved shield capacitors or better engines, but this one was good. It was for a supercruiser, a BattleCarrier as the designer termed it. It incorperated the latest technological advancements, and would be as power as the Dark Angels supercruisers, or better. The final design statistics were yet to be fully researched, but everything seemed to be very good and in order. It was going to be big enough to carry several hundred Heavy Fighters(or a few Dragons), had enough weaponry to take on a Predator or a Wolf, and was still fast enough to keep up with the fleet. Or atleast, thats what the equations predicted. He forwarded it to the research department.
Another good idea was for a smaller ship, but still one that was tactically invaluable. It was a Multi-Vector Assault Gunboat. The name suggested that it might be able to split itself into one or more ships, but that wasn't the case. Traditionaly, launchers for missiles were mounted as foward facing weapons. This one just kind of put two at the poles of the X, Y, and Z axis'. Each was manned by a gunner, and could aquire targets independently of eachother. This meant that it could shoot a projectile at 12 different targets, or put 10 into one. It could only shoot ten at a target because two would be on the completely opposite side of the ship.THe ship looked like an egg with fifteen holes in it. 12 of the holes were launchers, recessed into the hull, and three were the engines, set far apart in a triangle in the back. He appended a note to this to use Photon torps on this ship and sent it to R&D.; --------------------------------------------- Azdgari Ship Refitting ETC:2 Posts Aurgelmir BattleCarrier Design ETC:4 Posts MVAG Design ETC:2 Posts Mech Mass Production Paused Totat Produced:50 Total With Claws:50ish

Turgon System
Sixty-five warships, pulled from the nearby systems, entered the Turgon system, weapons armed and ready for battle. They opened fire with a devastating wave of torpedoes, then charged in, their psi turrets firing out green pulses. Death was certain for the first wave of Miranu ships, which were mostly incinerated, and little did they know that the nearby Zeldair would provide no reinforcements as they so hoped...
Zeldair System
Another sixty-five ships, these ones pulled from DSN-2131 and Qerid, meanwhile jumped into Zeldair just as the attack on Turgon was commencing. It was expertly planned; a two-pronged attacked taking the enemy fully by surprise. Prelate Zaertarul, the C&C; of the navy, would be pleased.
As it was in Turgon, the Acarra fleet swept down on the ill-prepared Miranu forces, blasting away at them with all the firepower they could muster. Many Miranu ships fell, and the Acarra continued on their rampage of destruction...

OOC:Uh, UEA. I don't think you grasp how good Photon Torps are. 15 will utterly destroy a Crescent Warship. And I would like to know the dispersal of ship types in your fleets Carno. ----------------------------- After hearing the maydays from Zeldair and Turgon systems, he quickly made up his mind as to what he was going to do. He sent a message to both mamajama and UEA asking them to go to the Turgon system, and he ordered his fleet out to Zeldair. He had reinforcements from Zachit head up to Turgon(2 Dragons, 35 CW's. 48 HV Fighters+Carried Ships) to reinforce the ship already there(1 Dragon, 12 CWs, 12 HV Fighters+Carried Ships). His fleet consisted of ships drawn from the Mira defense fleet plus ships that had been fighting the war already(8 Dragons+ Bahumat , 50 CW's, 20 DW's, 72 HV Fighters+Carried Fighters), and the Azdgari ships were almost ready and would move out right after the fleet to reinforce them. He appended a note to the message to mamajama to have the Mechs packed back into the freightor so they could be ready for ground combat. ------------------------------------------- The fleet arrived at Zeldair and immediately opened up on the Accara fleet. The DW's were clustered into a very large wolfpack, and were running around shooting at every enemy warship that came in range. When their armour got down to 50%, they would do a mini-jump straight into the nearest enemy capitol ship that had a good amount of shields left. This quickly cut down on the Accara's effectiveness as their ships took more and more hits. The fighters were flying around at top speed, weapons blazing. The capitol ships had formed several groups and were firing concentrated volleys of fire at the Accara. The point was to take out this wave before the Accaran reinforcements which were expected could arrive.
The fleet in Turgon took worse losses than the one in Zeldair. It formed into pretty much one group and moved like a blob around the outside of the Accaran forces, cutting down the ships on the outside in an ever-enclosing sphere of destruction. This pattern was predictable and easily countered, but it was effective in the first few minutes of battle. It was hoped that reinforcements from mamajama and UEA would arrive soon. ------------------------------------ Azdgari Ship Refitting ETC:1 Post Aurgelmir BattleCarrier Design ETC:6 Posts MVAG Design ETC:3 Posts Mech Mass Production Paused TOtal Produced:50 Total "Clawed":50
