Yes, I'll take all of them. And, I'll be sure to put your name by the pic so everyone can know you took/made it.

I believe this is what an Ambrosia utility know as "Snapz Pro"(or 2, X) is for...

I had just destroyed the Confederation Cruiser "U.S.S. Hannibal," and had returned to the Rebel capital of Pashlife. There, I was paid for my devotion to the Rebellion, and I was granted access to the Rebel Destroyer. Previously, I had been flying a new Rebel vessel, the "Sentenel." The Sentenel was like an extrememly heavy fighter / light warship, and I had even seen them take out Confederation Frigates with there emense firepower. The Sentenels were armed with six mass drivers, one proton turret, and a generous supply of missiles and torpedoes. I now upgraded to the Rebel destroyer, and outfitted it for my next mission, which wasn't going to be easy. I bought plenty of upgrades, which gave my "Triton Corsair" a speed of 450 a.u, an excellent turning rate and acceleration that constantly saved me from the waves of Confederation missiles that often came my way. I fitted the my ship with three proton turrets, extra fuel tanks and ramscoops, shield capacitators and generators, and two torpedoes launchers, which had a somewhat rediculous supply of one hundred torpedoes. Torpedoes were a favorite weapon, and were crucial in the destruction of capital Confederation vessels. I was now ready for my next mission: Destroy the "Battlegroup Four" flagship, a Confederation Battleship. The Confederation Battleship is about two / three times the length of a Cruiser; It carries fourteen neutron turrets, which will tear even a Rebel Cruiser to shreds in a small matter of time. In addition, the Battleship carried about twenty "flea" class interceptors, which were extremely fast, and armed with twin proton cannons. In numbers, these fighters were dangerous.
When I arrived in the system where I was to destroy the "Battlegroup Four," I was greeted by the ship's flea interceptors, and three Confederation Light Destroyers, which were the equivelent of the Rebel's "Sentenel." (The Light Destroyers also carried three flea interceptors.) So now, I have 29 Flea Interceptors chasing my ship as I attempted to escape their combined proton firepower. Had it not been for my excellent speed, the fleas would have instantly destroyed me. However, using tactics such as swift circling runs, I was able to pick them off one by one. I had destroyed about ten of them while receiving light damage, so I decided to give them a rough firefight. I slowed my ship down to end this chase, and fleas began to fly off in all directions, flaming and exploding. I was beginning to take proton fire, but there weren't enough fleas to finish off my reliable Rebel Destroyer. For about ten minutes, I fought the fleas, and by the time I had finished the last one, I was down to my armor. Fortunately, I had fitted Durasteel and Armaplast armor to my ship, so my secondary protection offered tough resistance. I was relieved I had finished the fleas, so I headed for the Light Destroyers. The Light Destroyers look somewhat like a Frigate, only smaller, with clipped wings, and stabilizers attached to the wings and hull. The Light Detsroyers were really cool ships; I hated to destroy them... But, they were Confederation, so I had no problem with doing so. The Light Destroyers were armed with twin proton turrets, so primary weapons engagements with them weren't too dangerous. By the time I reached light destroyers, my shields were almost fully recharged from the long journey towards the capital vessels. By the time I actually saw the Light Destroyers on my radar, I had fired off ten torpedoes, which finished off one of them. I then made a charge right toward the duo, spraying them with proton fire. Their shields began to dip, in which one of the Light Destroyers exploded before he hardly began firing. The other Light Destroyer came right toward me, and we battled it out. We made three passes on each other, with my shields depleted to half-normal status by the time he was destroyed. Now, I could finally complete the actual meaning of the mission: Destroy "Battlegroup Four." When I saw the ship on my radar, I wasn't too excited, but I was relieved I had such a generous supply of torpedoes. Once on my radar, I began firing off torpedoes as fast as my twin launchers would allow, keeping an eye on the flagship's shields. I made circles around the monster, staying out of range of the extremely dangerous neutron turrets. I kept firing my torpedoes, in which I was surprised at the Battleship's shield recharge rate for its size and toughness. Each torpedo normally reduced the shields by one percent: far less then I wanted. By the time I had given the Battleship all of my 90 torpedoes, his shields were at 2%. I now had to finish off the flagship with my proton turrets, and fast. I made a kamikaze assault at the ship's back to avoid heavy rockets, and gave him all I had. My shields were rapidly falling, and I held out as long as I could. Atlast, I was on my armor, which was also falling very swiftly, so I quickly headed out of range of the Battleship's turreted death. My armor began to recharge, and I was about to give up hope of destroying the ship. Here he was, about five times the length of my destroyer, waiting to kill me. I was wandering wether or not to leave the system, when my prayers were aswered. A Rebel Cruiser had enetered the system... Having my hope restored, I joined up asside the Cruiser and made the approach toward the Battleship. My shields were now on low / medium status, and the mantas made their assault. The Mantas, as expected, were quickly torn to shreds by neutron fire, so the Cruiser and I went in to finish the Confederation menace. We began to fire proton bolts rapidly, while fortunately the Rebel Cruiser took the bulk of the neutron fire (which I couldn't afford to take). For about 10 seconds, we fired away in a desperate attempt to finish off the thick layer of Tritanium armor. Finally, I saw the ship's status dip from "Shield's Down" to "Disabled." It took about five seconds to actually destroy the Battleship, even with six proton turrets firing. I watched as the Battleship exploded, which took about 15 seonds...The ship drifted, began giving off small explosians all around, before it actually blew. So large was the explosian that the Rebel Cruiser's shield status dropped from 28% to armor. My shields went to half-armor also, but aleast the battleship had been destroyed: "Battlegroup Four." The battle had been a fun and extremely tense one, but I didn't really feel like going out and seeking another Confederation Battleship anytime soon...

OK, I put it up. Fast, huh?

Not bad timing at all...
Also, the story was originally called "The Destruction of Battlegroup Four," so you can rename it with that title if you like.
I have an additional story if you care to use it...
I updated the name. I'll take the other story, more the better.
Ok, go to the stories section. Read all of 'em but I think you'll be interested in Plug-in Madness!
ALERT!!! The adress has changed. It is now evempire.netfirms.com Webjump will no longer be hosting so I had to change the adress. Sorry for the inconvenience.
