It has now been over a year since the once powerful Confederation government made its last stand. The Rebels, though they appeared to be a small, unimportant menace at the start, finally prevailed. After decades of fighting, the Rebellion had captured nearly all of the core worlds, until all that was left was Sol itself. It was outside of the Confederation capital that the Rebels made their biggest and most successful offensive: to finish the Confederation. The warfleets assembled by the Confederation at Sol were massive, yet the Rebellion had overtaken their foe not only in military terms, but economically. The Confederation fought to the last, and their hopes died with them.
Now, one year later, the galaxy now faces an even greater danger. During the Great War, the mighty Confederation Navy had fought the great alien warships that nearly conquered the human race. Those aliens, outnumbered as they were, contained the most advanced technology ever discovered by the humans. The alien weapons and warships could destroy human warfleets five times their size within a few terrifying minutes. But the Confederation destroyed the alien warships and their escorts by trapping them one by one, until all known sixteen cruisers were written in the history books. Following the Great War, the Confederation and the Rebellion fought the war that lasted decades. Now, both those wars are over.
But the galaxy had other plans...Months proceeding the final battle at Sol, a single Manta recon fighter made one of the most fearsome discoveries while on patrol in the Serpens Nubula. The aliens were not extinct. An alien battlecruiser never seen before was lurking in the thick pink clouds, but it never struck. The Rebels knew, however, that their time was limited. The aliens wouldn't be in hiding forever.
Proceeding the discovery of the battlecruiser, a new class of alien fighters were discovered on the outskirts of Serpens. The Rebellion now realized that these aliens had never emerged from the Milky Way itself, but somewhere far, far away. There, behind the Serpens Nebula, lies a doorway to another galaxy...another universe that has yet to be discovered. So advanced are the aliens in terms of technology that they have the power to contruct massive jump gates.
But where the aliens have come from is still a mystery. Nobody will ever know for sure until the war is complete, which could easilly be in favor of the alien empire. For now, the Human Confederation Alliance, commanded by President Skyblade and his vice president Jonathan Navarone, face survival itself. The worlds of the Milky Way have united to fight the dreaded aliens that have again come...and it large numbers. Welcome to the war that was never completed, the engagement between alien and mankind that many now call "The Unfinished War."
Alright you guys, you all know the rules from the registration topic, but keep in mind that what was said about discovering another universe will not be covered in epside II. You'll have to wait for the threesequel, "The Worlds Beyond the Milky Way," before you find out anything about another galaxy.

Fleet Commanders of all governments- Make sure you keep up with your fleet numbers constantly. Add ships to your numbers when you are given reinforcements, and take away ships from your numbers after a battle. This is extremely important. As a matter of fact, it would be a good idea to post your fleet numbers within every post you make. Also, remember the fuel restrictions of your ships. If you're in doubt of ship capabilities, visit the shipyards. If you have any questions, please ask them on the original "players needed" topic.
To get started, visit the "players needed" topic and make sure you copy and past your fleet numbers and classes within your posts here. Sound alright? Great...
Well now, let's get posting! I'll start us off...

"Sir," came the voice of the radio operator of the Triton Corsair, "Intellegence and scout recon teams report no recent activity in the Serpens Nebula, although the pirates are beginning to mobilize outside Saden."
"Very well," the Admiral replied. "The Serpens Nebula might be quiet for the moment, but it won't be for long."
As Admiral Skyblade scanned his computer map, he gathered his thoughts together and began to give orders.
"Lieutenant, send these orders to our fleet as soon as possible. I want Fleet Commander Tycho Maudd to make his way for Apollo, and stand by upon arrivial. ERsadtSF's orders are to take his fleet to Zebetrious and await further orders. General Rak's orders are to set course for Pelagon, and stand by. All three of these warlfeets need to patrol our eastern borders, as the Human Confederation government doesn't want the aliens to catch us by surprise."
Admiral Skyblade looked at the remaining fleet on his map, yet to be given orders. "Since UE Crusader is already based in the southern worlds, his orders are to set course for Agena and stand by. I need him to keep an eye on the pirate fleet currently mobilizing in Saden. That is all, Lieutenant."
Admiral Skyblade then decided to re-position his own fleet, and set course for Kathoon. A few days later, the 20th warfleet had arrivied in the system.

Looking out from the bridge of the HCS Visionary, Admiral Rak gazed over his massive Warfleet. He remembered times of victory and celebration, the capture of Sol. He had been Chairman of the Atinoda Corporation (now merged with Excelsior Arms Corp.), and had lead a squadron of Kestrels against an entrie confed battlegroup. The thoughts of nostaligia were interupted by a junior officer. "Sir. High Command has ordered us east to Barnard. Course plotted, Barnard, Zebetrious, Pelagon." "Okay, thank you. Dismissed." He looked down at his connolly leather Admiral's chair. The screen displayed the following statistics-
21st Human Confederation Warfleet ID Tag: GR Fleet: 1 Carrier- HCS Visionary (Flagship) 4 Supercruisers 10 Battlecruisers 30 Ospreys 50 Destroyer M5s 45 Star Cobras 60 Dragonflies
The jumps were fast and uneventful. As soon as he reached Pelagon, a defender screamed up from behind his fleet. It's ID tag read- "Stolen Vehicle." It jumped behind a Destroyer M5, but was quickly blown to bits. From pirates to criminals, Rak thought.
He landed on Opal, and mingled in the bar. he got into a conversation with a man who was the leader of a geography team. He asked for tansportation to Quake, for for further scientific studies of its earthquakes. An osprey quickly ferried them over.
"Admiral," Lieutenant Richard spoke, "sensors indicate that the 21st HC Warfleet is now stationed in Pelagon, with the rest of our warfleets preparing to move to ordered locations."
"Thanks, Lieutenant. Also, be sure to inform our warfleets that any sightings of alien activity must be reporting immediately. Since the aliens haven't been seen in a few weeks, I'm wandering what they're up to back there behind the nebula. That's all."
Hours later, Admiral Skyblade's fleet had moved to the outskirts of Spica.
yes there.i have the map, im just to lazy to look at it.i got it now.do we get to name the system?

(It'd be a good idea to, since I can't update the map unless you mention which system you are moving to.)
On Opal, an excited Colonel joined up with Rak at the bar. "Sir. I am the division commander of an accessory fleet assigned to yours." As Admiral Rak reviewed the stats, he dismissed the Colonel, Colonel Tasha.
21st Human Confederation Warfleet ID Tag: GR Fleet: 1 Carrier- HCS Visionary (Flagship) 5 Supercruisers 10 Battlecruisers 1 Cruiser 31 Ospreys 53 Destroyer M5s 45 Star Cobras 60 Dragonflies 50 Mantas
As he ascended the steps to his Executive Transport, he ordered all fighters retired into the HCS Visionary's bays. When he finally reached his luxurious quarters, he speculated what would happen later that day.
Admiral Skyblade's fleet carefully monitered the incoming and outgoing ship traffic at Spica. Everything seemed normal, until a pirate fleet was picked up on the Triton Corsair's sensors.
"Admiral!" Corporal Henderson announced, "sensors indicate a small pirate warfleet entering Spica."
"Details," Skyblade replied.
The Corporal scanned his computer screen. "Two kestrels, three corvettes, and six rapiers. Not including the four Lightnings being carried by the two heavy warships."
Skyblade breathed a sigh of relief. "Well then, I guess the pirates didn't realize they invited the 20th Warfleet for lunch."
Seconds later, the pirate fleet entered Spica. They had obviously intended to destroy the local commerce shipping in a quick hit-and-run raid, and were not prepared to see an entire Human Confederation warfleet at their heels.
Torpedos emerged from the 20th Warfleet's launching tubes, and screamed toward the surprised pirates. Two corvettes were decimated before they even had time to respond to the situation.
The Carrier of the 20th Warfleet made a run beside the two kestrels. Dwarfing the pirates in size, the 2500 turbolaser turrets of the carrier spoke forth. The kestrels were destroyed before they could even release all of their Lightning fighters.
The Rapiers did no better, and all but one were destroyed. The remaining Rapier hyperspaced northward, hopefully to retire due to the terrifying sight he had just seen.
"Great work," Admiral Skyblade reported across the fleet comm. "You successfully destroyed most of the fleet in under seventeen seconds."
The Admiral then leaned back in his chair after turning his comm channel off. "You know, it's a good thing we decided to take our route through Spica, or the local supply convoys would be pretty beat up right now."
So quick was the slash at the invading pirates that not a single HC ship was lost.
Admiral Rak was soundly sleeping when Colonel Tasha entered the room. He woke up Rak. "Yes?" Rak said, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Sir. A weird signal has been detected on the scanners." The large screen on the back wall lit up and displayed a very unique algorithem. "Tasha, send a Priority 1 message to President Skyblade. Tell him of our readings, and ask for permission to dispatch a pair of special recon Destroyer M5s to investigate. Dismissed" "Yes sir!"
Skyblade and his officers were planning the next route toward Serpens when a young officer approached him.
"Sir, I've just received an urgent message from the flagship of the 21st HC Warfleet. General Rak reports of "strange scans," and wishes for your permission to dispatch a small fleet to investigate."
Admiral Skyblade and the officers all stood up once. "When was this report received, Corporal?"
"About half a minute ago."
"It's got to be the aliens," one of the officers spoke. "They have the only ships that our advanced scanneres cannot detect accurately."
Skyblade listened to the officer for a few moments before continuing. "Corporal, reply Rak's message, and tell him to set his status to red alert. Any engagement with even a single alien vessel is highly dangerous. Tell him he is free to take his fleet within a jump of his current location in order to investigate. But tell him not to send out small fleets, but rather keep his entire fleet together."
The Corporal began to rush out of the room.
"And Corporal," Skyblade called after him, "Tell Rak to avoid any battle engagements with whatever he finds at all costs. We want to see what the aliens have up their sleaves first."
"Yes sir."
Shortly after giving the Corporal his reply to Rak's message, the 20th warfleet set course for Arrakis.
Fleet Commander ErsadtSF headed toward the bridge of his carrier, the H.C.S. Infusion. His ships's comm officer had informed him that a message was waiting.
"Damnit," ErsadtSF said to himself as he walked,"why are the commander's quarters so far from the bridge?"
Upon arriving at the bridge, he immediatly told his comm officer to put the message on the viewscreen. The images of the other fleet ships were replaced with the face of President Skyblade.
"You are to depart for the Zebetrious system and await further orders. Expect reinforcments before you leave."
"Thats it," said the comm officer.
Within 15 minutes, a small group of ships arrived, and the 22nd fleet left for Zebetrious. (3 jumps - Levo,Capella,Zebetrious.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fleet stats: 1 carrier 1 supercruiser 1 battlecruiser 1 cruiser 31 ospreys 25 destroyer M5's 90 mantas 10 star cobras
------------------ If its not forced, ill do it!
As he recieves his orders, Rak tells his fleet to depart to Sirgil. He has the two recon M5's assume fleet lead. As he jumps in two modified argosies and five rapiers jump his M5s. Immediately, two rapiers are kocked down with turret fire, a third smashed with wreckage of the previous two. The other two jump out of the system. While the two argosies get into a dogfight with an osprey, one of the M5s takes a detailed scan of the argosies. Soon both are disabled, and captured. A sofisticated jammer is found on one of them.
Back in the Pelagon system, the jammer is sent to earth for inspection, and the argosies are sold. They fetch a total of 800K credits, and it is put towards repairs.
"Sir, Fleet Commander ErsadtSF's Warfleet is now positioned in Zebetrious, awaiting further orders. Alert status is yellow, since pirate sightings have been received."
"Thankyou, Lieutenant. For now, tell all fleets to stand by, as we want commanders Tycho Maudd and UE Crusader to get in position before carrying on with our campaign."
"Aye sir."

"Sir," Colonel Tasha stated,"we have been ordered to remain in the Pelagon system on yellow alert status." "Okay, downgrade to Defcon 2.

With that, he went back to playing EV on the ship computer.
