The governments are: Confederation- Rebellion-Admiral Benden(Leader) Independant- Pirate- Lethe- Cydonian-
My character:Admiral Benden My ship:Blood Claw(Rebel Cruiser) Position:Commander of Rebel Forces
A large Fleet is 25 Ships. The Confederation has 150 ships, the Rebellion has 110. Pirates have 50. Lethe have 35 and Cydonian have 35.
Introduction: The Confederation is trying to defeat the rebels, while they stay mobile and perform lightning raids on outlying systems. The Lethe-Cydonian war is just the same as it has ever been, both sides attacking each other and failing to do any damage to eachother. The pirates are attacking shipping lanes and independant systems.

Locke is flying around in his souped up summer cruizer (a humble kestrel), which he fondly refers to as the Hegemon, hailing every ship in site to promote his righteous cause for individualism and blasting every darn proton weapon he has at the stubborn asteriod dead ahead. What he doesn't realize is that his personnal ship yard back on Levo is being raided and his prize rebel cruizer (called the Fuer grissa ost drauka) being stolen! Locke, a now peaceful philosopher, may have to revert back to his fighting days to reclaim his most treasured ship.

and no offense but those rules are a little constricting....
Thank you for properly crediting those rules to myself. And Locke, those rules have applied in roughly 10 full webstories. I would not doubt their relevancy in any way if i were you.

Luke has been a Confed pilot for years, but he has never been promoted. Now he has defected to the Rebellion and works as a spy- until a grim voice hails him and tells him to land at Mars and slowly walk out of your patrol ship un-armed. Of course Luke refuses and heads for Tau Ceti, where he can hide in the forests of New Columbia...
Will Owen had for many years been a successful privateer until one day, while collecting the bounty for having destroyed a rampaging pirate fleet on Lethe, his upgraded Corvette the Emerald Fire was cought in a Cydonian orbital barrage and severely damaaged. His crew, encamped near his ship was likewise decimated. Swearing to avenge his fallen mates, Will brought his ship and experience to Lethean Naval Command and quickly rose to the rank of Commandant of the Lethean Stellar Expeditionary Force (LSEF), an elite attack group specializing in convoy interdiction and in rapid blitzkrieg assaults on enemy ground sites. The Cydonians will pay!
After Luke lands in the forests of New Columbia, he abandons his Confed patrol ship and walks to a space port and with his small amount of money is able to get a ride to Satori. The Rebel captain in charge of Rebel spies in the Confederation Navy invites him into the bar...
"Luke, we have a problem. The last time we downloaded your ship's files for information, we saw you recently passed a Confederate Cruiser, the Raven. It has the New Cydonian warship symbol as well as the Confederation logo painted on it's side... The 'feds may have some new allies. Of course, the Lethean Republic may join us if it gives them a chance to attack Cydonia. I'm sending you to Lethe to ask for some help."
"How will I get there?" Luke asks. "I left my ship in the New Columbian wilderness!"
"We can donate you a Manta." says the captain.
So Luke heads for Lethe in Manta...

I shake hands with Admiral McPherson of the Confed Navy, collect the portfolio and walk out to the dock. From the cockpit of my Lightning fighter "Emp" I hail the Lightning Wing's command ship Thunder, "The contract is signed. We are to capture or kill the deserter Luke. He was last seen in a confed patrol ship, jumping in the direction of Tau Ceti. We also get bonus pay for any info on rebel activities related to Luke."
Fleet Captain Derrick-- CEO of the mercenary company Lightning Wing-- breaks up the Lightning Wing into 4 pairs of Lightnings to scour the western sector. Derrick takes the Thunder to Deneb 3 to finish some other business. I draw Jeff, piloting "Torch", for a wingman, and must check the systems Tau Ceti, Antares, Mentos and Tiber. I upload the portfolio information to everybody, then the Lightning Wing begins pursuit.
------------------------ About the Lightning Wing The Lightning Wing is a small mercenary company I work for. The company fleet consists of 1 kestrel (named "Thunder") and 6 lightnings beyond those on the kestrel. The Thunder has been highly upgraded. Some of the lightnings have also been modified. I am named Miles (occasionally called Magicianeer, or Dr. M). I am the highest ranked officer in the company outside the Thunder. My Lightning fighter, the "Emp", carries extra missiles, 800 javalins, an escape pod and a shield booster.
Tycho's Argosy flys past, showing off its new upgrades. Suddenly right in ftont of him a Alien cruiser jumps in and the two collide make the biggest explostion ever seen by a human. The small escape pod difting away is give little notice by everyone else.

Name: Ultimate Rebel gov´t: Rebellion (duh) skills:tactical planning and ultimate fighter pilot ship: a fleet of seven cruisers position: general (second in command)
OOC: Luke, you may not create new ships.
Ultimate Rebel is currently scouting the edge of the fringe region in a Manta.
OOC: I may not be able to post for a few days every so often, but I will try to post as much as possible. The reason is that my computr messed up and is being fixed, so I can only post when I come to the library.

On his way to Lethe, Luke passes through Mentos. As he lazily scans the system, he suddenly notices some Lightnings heading towards him... and they don't look too happy! He warps out as fast as he can...
Jeff shouts "BIOSCAN MATCH! Lez gittem!" over the comm so loud I jump and send the Emp tumbling. I check my sensors-- an Astex bulk freighter and a Rebel Manta-- 99.999% probability Luke is on the Manta. Jeff is already charging after Luke, but the manta is far away and faster. Luke leisurely enters hyperspace before Jeff gets into missile range.
I start calling up everybody in the Lightning Wing (LW) on hyperwave. I pass along the info: "Emp to LW: Fugitive Luke sighted in Mentos flying a Rebel Manta, last seen jumping toward Tiber, Torch and Emp will pursue and attempt to engage." I can't raise Thunder, so I decide to risk overriding Derrick. "All fighers: New orders, we will try to corral him. Strike, Blaze, cover Olympus, then move toward Ruby. Wrath, Gladius sit on pollux. Matt, try to contact Derrick, get him to cover Alcyon. Don't get cocky. If Luke is with other rebels, do not attack, just follow him. Everyone else, get to Pollux ASAP". Jeff and I jump to Tiber.
Elsewhere The Thunder had been hired by a Deneb 3 shipping company to escort 4 light freighters carrying much needed food to New Cydonia. A band of bold Lethians-- a Corvette, a Rapier, and an Argosy-- intercepts the shipment in Tryvin. Ordinarily, Thunder and her lightnings would have dispatched the Lethians easily, but her lightnings are currently out near Perseus. Derrick mutters to himself "This could get ugly"...
OOC: Can we create ships with unusual equipment? For example, a confed frigate with 4 missile launchers + 60 missiles, 2 proton turrets, and 2 neutron cannons.
**A large Fleet is 25 Ships. The Confederation has 150 ships, the Rebellion has 110. Pirates have 50. Lethe have 35 and Cydonian have 35. **
OCC: Does this include fighters (patrol ships, mantas, defenders) and defense fleets?

I believe you can change outfits, because we could in Flashpoint. I think he is talking about warships (the big ones that are over 100tons), I'm not sure what his rules are about defense fleets though. BTW, we are borrowing a monitor so I can be posting more often now. AB, you only posted the first post. Where are you? I have an idea for the name of the webstory, "EV Uprisal". Does anyone like that name?

Luke is shaken from his encounter with the Lightnings, but he has a mission to complete. He nears Lethe with no problems until he reaches Alcoyn- He's being ambushed by some more! He tries to run but they have him. They disable his ship easily, board it by force, and take Luke into custody. Uh oh...
Ultimate Rebel pulls out from hyperspace into Alcyon. He can tell by the debris in the system there had been a fight. "High command(his ship): I want you and the other ships to patrol the systems surrounding Alcyon. Anything suspicious, disable and question the ships," UR said into a comm link to his ship.
OOC: Can we use ships from Galactic Scourge? That is, if everyone is familiar with the plug.
MOD:The ships set is the number of crusiers you have. There are obviously going to be less of the big one like Fed Cruisers. You cannot have innumerable fighters, but you can have fighters. Refitting of your own ships is permissable, and refitting a special fleet is also(Read Flashpoint on the EVO Board for more info). You must be able to fit all mods on the ship you are flying. Colonization of habitable planets is allowed. You can only have tech from your gov(Feds can't have Mass Drivers, Rebels can't have Neutrons). You can build more ships, but that takes time(five posts=1 cruiser, eight posts=1 carrier) and builds can be done at multiple shipyards. You may build space stations but that could very well take the whole time of this webstory. You needn't jump along established hyperspace routes. Hope that is clearer. ---------------------------- IC: Admiral Benden looked at the most recent readout of Federation fleet movements. There were about ten crusiers unnacounted for, and about 12 frigates. A few fleets of fighters were prowling around pirate regions, and there were numerous reports of pirate raids on Independant worlds.
(happens just before UR's post) After discretely following Luke through 3 systems, the trap is set. Wrath and Gladius moved to in Alcyon and are waiting for him. Emp and Torch will arrive in Alcyon minutes after Luke. The other 4 lightnings will be in Alcyon a day later.
It works perfectly. Wrath smacked Luke head-on with a heavy rocket as soon as he arrived. A few laser bolts from Gladius put Luke out of action. I arrive in time to pack Luke himself into my cargo hold (bound, gagged, and tranqualized). Matt, pilot of Gladius, passes word from Derrick: "Thunder is under repair on New Cydonia following a bad meeting with Lethian forces. Miles' orders approved. LW regroup at New Cydonia immediately after capturing Luke". Matt downloads everything in the manta's computer, then we all jump to Lethe enroute to New Cydonia.

OCC: very clear except for this part. What sort of non-established routes are permitted?. Example: Can I jump from New Cydonia directly to Sol?
The four trailing Lightnings of the LW arrive in Alcyon. Tim, senior officer and pilot of Blaze, says "heads up, rebel cruiser on station.. and a shot-up manta.. Luke's ship.. RUN!". Mantas and missiles pour from the cruiser. Blaze jukes and spins avoiding all the missiles, but Strike takes two hits, and the others take one each. The mantas veer off toward Strike. Cory, pilot of Strike: "Get out of here, i'll keep em busy.", and begins firing javelins.. he doesn't last long. As his wingman is going down, Tim orders the rest of the squadron "scatter and jump to Lethe!" Seeing he is out of missile range of the cruiser, Tim begins his jump immediately.
