Beeblebrox, after being stopped by an ADSL provider , finally reaches Turin V with his First Strike force. He gets a bit of a surprise seeing the amassed army of the Rebellion surrounding the planet.
(To General of First Fleet: (The Rebels are obviously not as surprised by our attack as we first thought, (contact Luna with a request for 6 more Cruisers to be called upon at any time.(End transmission.

The battle commences. A volly of nukes slam into the fleets Cruisers Crippling their sheilds. They send out their mantsa who also have the nuke launchers and another volly of nukes slams into the hull its self. All the Cruisers are disabled. ((Waits for reply))

Beeblebrox, noticing the stationary ships including the ship he recognised as the Jolly Roger. Laughing, he sends orders to all the Confederate ships not crippled by the Rebel attacks to attack these stationary vessels. A barrage of rockets, laser, photon and neutron bolts, and torpedoes from Beeblebrox's ship, which luckily survived the first strike. The ships are destroyed quickly except for the Jolly Roger that luckily escaped.

DeadBeat's flagship the Jolly Roger charges at full speed towards the confed fleet. DeadBeat orders the release of 15 space bombs at the confed fleet and watches in pure delight as each ship is crippled beyond repair or destroyed. He then boards each crippled ship and steals their credits.

New Bavaria "It's time. Send our fleet to NGC-1896. Take that outpost with as few losses as possible."- Aaron "Yes sir!"- Winfield ------ NGC-1896 The Jadzian fleet jumps into the system in a tight formation and demands the station's surrender. Obviously the pirates are not going to give up without a fight, so they send out the defence fleet. The Jadzian fleet takes up a line formation, Corvettes in front, Rapiers behind the vettes, Lightnings next and Kestrels in back(argosies left at Jadzia). As the pirate Lightnings move in all ships fire a missile or torpedo. Many missiles hit asteroids but a decent ammount hit the lightnings, destroying 4. The torpedos impact upon the two Corvettes puting one at 20% and the other at 35% shields. Missiles from the pirates impact on the front line of vettes puting them at 80%, 75%, 50%, and 90%. The pirate argosy being so slow falls behind the rest of the fleet, thus is not hit by any weapons.

Message to General Beeblebrox Encyption Level: Umber Weasel
<message>
Doing business with the Bavarians is unwise. Why?
- They trade with the Rebellion - They purchase ships from the Rebellion - They illegally establish mining colonies without Confederate approval
We would recommend immediate action against them as soon as the Turin operation is completed.
Also, Astex will pay you 200,000 crdits for bulk frieghters, 90,000 credits more than the New Bavarians will give you.
On that note, may I purchase from you at these prices:
5 bulk frieghters- 1,000,000 credits? 1 Frigate- 2,000,000 credits?
<message ends>
The light freighter being upgraded at Liberty Starport will be completed next round. It has been hollowed out and the end is open. Several laser turrets are being installed around the gaping hole.
Expenses: 128,000 credits (how convinient!)
Treasury: 15 million credits

OOC: Hey everybody! I've decided to join, though please note that my time is limited, so don't expect zillions of posts from me. Basically, my character is a mercenary, and more details about him will become apparent as I continue to post.
---------------------
Yemuro System
As vessels went about their daily business, suddenly, a Pirate vessel screamed into the system and began to open fire with its missiles. The black hull of the corvette gleamed as it streaked towards a frieghter and began to blaze away with its laser turrets.
Moments later, another flash broke out as a fleet of four Kestrels and three Corvettes entered the system, their IFF transponders identifying them as Mercenaries.
The Pirates didn't know what hit them.
A hail of missiles and proton bolts spewed out from the mercenary fleet, engulfing and disintigrating the Pirate vessel immediately. As wreckage floated away, Den'zar Carnotaur surveyed the scene and grinned. "Have the corvettes move in and salvage any wreckage, then add it to our inventory."
Carnotaur was the commander of the mercenary fleet, and had been so for some time. For the last several weeks he had been hiding out in the vicinity of New Antigua, fighting and hiding from Pirates for days on end without seeing a planet or station. However, now having killed the Pirate he was after, Carnotaur had returned with his fleet to less-remote areas of space.
His flagship, the Kestrel escort frigate Nemesis , slowly cruised through the system, her escorts either gathering wreckage or staying in a V-shape formation.
"Your orders, sir?" Carnotaur's lieutenant inquired.
His blue eyes kept focused on the screen, his hands folded in front of him, his mind pondering his fleet's next move. Finally, he spoke. "Move into orbit above Yemuro, and prepare to broadcast a message..."

DeadBeat is surprised by the attack but orders a sudden counter-attack. His Argosys begin firing missles at the 2 front confed Corvettes, both are destroyed with the loss of 3 Argosys. While the confed fleet is distracted the pirate Lightnings attack the confed fleet from the side, destroying 1 Kestrel and crippling the other with the loss of 5 Lightnings. The Pirate Corvettes have withdrawn behind the Pirate Argosys and have taken a defensive stance.

A volly of nukes slams into the remaining attackers, Distroyng all but one... the Chivalry. stardust calls out to his fleet. "Everyone report!" "Sir we lost a firebird and the Zeta Fleet, and a few mantas, and 5 distroyers." "****!" Take the Chivalry Just dont kill it. Capture everyone on board!" "Will do"
