Your tactless sarcasm aside, I do have an interest in having a map. It aids greatly to understanding a webstory, especially for someone like me who has joined late. In any case, thank you for the information.
And expect me to rant like that if people never answer.

Den'Zar's fleet entered the Yemuro system and recieved a message that reported that the Confeds had broken off the attack on Palshife. He moved into orbit of New Istanbul, and purchased another Kestrel and two Corvettes to add to his fleet, decreasing his availible credits a bit.
Meanwhile, he sent an encrypted message to the Rebels....
(Message to Rebellion) (Encrypted) (Subject: Possible Aid) (Greetings. I am Den'Zar Carnotaur, a mercenary, and I greatly sympethize with your cause. I have no jobs at the moment, and I would be willing to aid you. My fleet is powerful and I myself am an experienced tactician. If you wish, I could launch an attack on Matar and claim it for the Rebellion.) (End Message)
Meanwhile, Den'Zars forces on New Antigua enlarged the shipyard there and many other parts of the base, which included installing land-based torpedo and missile launchers, as well as giant proton turrets, and a moderately-powerful shield grid.

New Antigua
The mercenary colony had started attacking nearby Pirate ships. The disabled hulks were sold off and the cargo also traded with neighboring planets. The mercenaries also got a hold of some frieghters and began trading with such places as Kathoon, Levo, and Yemuro, which brought in more credits.
The base was furthur expanded, and already an Argosy had been built by the new shipyard.
--------------
Matar
The Mercenary Fleet, aided by the Rebel Firebird, entered the Matar system. The Firebird's IFF transponder had been re-programmed to transmit a Mercenary IFF signal, and so the Confeds ignored them.
By the time they realized their mistake, it was too late.
The three Confederate Frigates in the system were suddenly ambushed by the entire Mercenary fleet. Missiles, torpedoes, proton bolts, laser blasts, heavy rockets, and javelin rockets all came pounding down into them. One Frigate's shields went down and its hull was soon turned into molten slag.
The other two frigates got away, heavily damaged, and attempted to recharge their shields. Meanwhile, a fourth frigate had entered the system, but once again was ambushed by the mercenaries. A heavy rocket smashed through its shields and annihilated the bridge of the vessel. Immediately a Corvette moved forward and docked with the frigate.
A Confederate Cruiser was then launched from the planet, as well as several patrol ships and gunboats. They, however, suffered a somewhat easy fate. Den'Zar immediately saw them coming up and dispatched two Corvettes to take them out. Launching several space bombs, the patrol ships and gunboats were annihilated, and the Cruiser took heavy damage, but not before destroying one of the mercenary frigates.
The Confed Frigates had gotten their bravery back and charged the Mercenaries. Den'Zar waited until the last possible limit, and then unleashed a hail of heavy rockets and proton blasts into the frigates. One was destroyed, the other was disabled and badly damaged, and a Kestrel quickly boarded it.
By that time, the first disabled frigate had been captured, and was quickly piloted out of the system and back towards New Antigua, as was the second captured frigate.
The Confeds recieved another frigate, but even with the help of the powerful Confederate Cruiser, they were badly outgunned by the superior Mercenary force...
New Antigua - Research & Design Facility
With the capture of the two Confederate Frigates, the Mercenary base began work on designing their own variant of the frigates. The stats would be as follows:
Mercenary "Tigershark" Frigate Shields: 300 Armor: 150 Shield Recharge: 85 Speed: 325 Turning: 3 Acceleration: 400 Weaponry: 4 Proton Turrets 2 Torpedo Launchers + 15 Torpedoes 4 Missile Launcher + 40 Missiles 1 Heavy Rocket Launcher + 5 Heavy Rockets 6 Javelin Rocket Launchers + 300 Javelin Rockets
Research would take about a week, seeing as how it was only an upgrade and not a totally new design.

A lone bulk frieghter hypers into the Zebetrious station, the words Astex Mining Inc. etched on the side. BFs are common in this system, ever since the Bavarians started asteroid Mining. But something is wrong. As the ship slows down from hyperspeed, its crew module blows off the cargo containers and continues on towards the Arrakis system at half hyperspeed, 8 light-years away.
On the Zebetrious mining platform, everything was quiet. The roar of the great electromagnetic turbines that powered the station even seemed more muted than usual.
If you could hear sounds in space, you would hear in the abandoned cargo containers the rumble of the sublight engines, the gentle sloshing of 700,000 gallons of slush-fuel deuterium/oxygen mixture in zero-g, and the quiet ticking of a computerized quidance system. If you could see through the three layers of armaplast shielding the hazardous cargo from the cold of space and the heat of the engines, you would also see a impact-triggered explosive device in the fore holds.
Several million kilotons of explosive force hading towards the mining platform from a distance of 5000 kilometers out and gaining.
Uh-oh.

Zebetrious Seeing the cargo containers floating toward the station, the commander orders a Destroyer to tow them away. The destroyer locks a tractor beam onto the containers and tows them to 20,000 kilometers. desiding to have some fun, the captain stupidly charges weapons and shoots the cargo containers blowing himself and his crew to high heaven.

OOC: That is insane. You are using OOC knowledge in that you didn't even know that the frieghter would collide with the base. All you know is that it was just moving towards it; maybe just to dock.
Also, what's this about nukes on MANTA'S? Give me a break. That's insane.
The refit design of the Tigershark had been completed, and immediately the two captured frigates were refitted, and several new ships were started on and would soon be completed. The research base also completed designing a variant to the Corvette, which would be called the Shrike Missile Boat.
The base also continued to be upgraded and expanded, and several hundred colonists also arrived. Trade with neighboring colonies was increasing, which brought in more funds.
Meanwhile, the research centers began looking into the ESG; Expanding Sphere Generator. The ESG releases shockwaves out in a sphere around the ship. It doesn't go very far, but lasts for a very long time, and has a special effect; it is designed to destroy all incoming missiles, torpedoes, or rockets.
OOC: Sorry about this, but, sadly, the Confeds have not responded. This should teach you to read all the posts and actually respond to them.
The Confederate commander stupidly did nothing, waiting for reinforcements that wouldn't arrive. His slothfulness cost him his life, and the system of Rigel.
While the Confederates were procrastinating, Den'Zar was acting. Immediately he launched his attack wings of Lightnings and Mantas, which moved around to the sides and began blasting the Confeds will missile fire. The Firebird fired off several salvoes of nukes, which, though they didn't really destroy any Confederate vessels, did give the Confederates quick a shock. While they were recovering, the Mercenaries pounced on them.
Moments later, if anybody had been watching the battle from the distance, would see over 1,000 tons of debris float away from where the Confederate ships once stood, intermingled with dead Confederate crewmen.
The defenses on Matar surrendered immediately, partially because the Firebird still had some missiles left. Soon, the system was in mercenary hands.
Later, while inspecting the colony, the Mercenaries discovered three damaged Confederate Frigates, and quickly refitted them to the specs of the Tigershark Frigate. They also purchased another Kestrel, and two more Corvettes, and added them all to their fleet.
(Message to Rebellion) (Encrypted) (Matar is ours. I will commence the attack on Rigel shortly. However, first, I would prefer to keep the Firebird, if possible.
