The first attack of the pirate alliance is finally planned and prepared. The fleets move out into system 94 to attack the Rebel fleet stationed there. "The rebels will sure be impressed when they learn of our secret weapon." says Dread's aid.

Six days later the fleets enter the system, FTL communications are immediately cut and false transmissions are sent from outside the 2 light year barrier. A message is sent from a Rapier at light speed.

"Rebel captains, your communications have been cut. No reinforcements will arrive and no messages will be sent. We have your own ships leading the assault filled with your own men in our cargo bays. If these ships are destroyed you are killing your own."

The 6 LR Warboats move into attack position and fire, supported by the 14 SR Warboats. The attack is concentrated on the enemy LR Warboats knocking 2000 shields down without any repurcussions, yet...

OOC: A few, if not a bit of your ships would be disabled or destroyed from the laser barrage, Paranoid.
----------
The Rebel commander in System 94 cursed. The fleet was much bigger than the defence fleet. At once, a SRW speed off into lightspeed to warn other systems about the pirates.

The LRWs began to target only one ship, designated as the "Demonspawn". All LRWs fired a huge barrage of HPB lasers, and soon the Demonspawn had no shields. As fighters started making attack runs on the defenders, Anti-Fighter beams lanced out and swiftly eliminated them.

As the fleets shields continued to fall, the SRWs quickly raced across the system and fired their Anti-Fighter beams at the closest enemy ships, except for Warboats. The SRWs were also firing their Splinter PDSs, in hopes that the small but powerful bolts would help in destroying the shields of their enemies. The shields broke, and the enemies lasers cut through the defenders like a hot knife through butter. Dying ships managed to careen into enemy starships before exploding from heavy laser fire.

The Demonspawn, who had been under heavy attack from the LRWs, finally fell. As it's bridge began to split, it's contents of people and computers spilled out into open space. HPB shots kept hitting enemy capitals, but it was just about too late. The LRWs were under fire by enemy fighters, so they just let their escape pods go, and self destructed, taking several fighters with them. The few Rebels that managed to escape the madness quickly regrouped down on the planet. The battle for space was over, but the battle for the planet had yet to begin.
-----
On the planet, shield batteries were being put everywhere and being connected, making huge shields over most of the planets cities. What lay under these shields where hundreds of HPBs and Anti-fighter turrets. Almost the entire planet's powerplants were covered with shields, and the plants all gave their whole power production to recharching the shield and making sure that it was kept alive. The planet wasn't going down without a fight, a fight that would happen only in a half day.

Shieldship:

The Shieldship's main purpose is to be in the very middle of a fleet formation, giving a huge boost of shielding when the SR Warboats shields are low. Because of the shield connectors, there is basicly a huge ball of shielding around the sphere formation of a fleet. (note: the ships can shoot out from inside the shield, but not vise versa. Also, the shield will destroy most objects, such as other ships. ETA: 2 days.

Upgrade to Shield Connector:
The shield connecter will now double the shields of the sphere-shield. (note: This doesn't apply for the Shieldship, which is only increased by half. Normal ships are x2 in the sphere, but Shieldship is x1.5). ETA: 1 days.

Upgrade to Splinter PDS:
All SRWs will now be outfitted with 4 Spliter PDSs instead of just one. ETA: 2 days.
Also, the final product of the PDS will only take one second to recharge. ETA: 2 days

The incoming barrage was heavy and well organized but the assault was slowed massively by the shields and hull of the Rebel warboats, 8 SR were disabled and 3 LR were disabled. After the first barrage resistance cut off as every ship broadcast what was happening to the prisoners, in groups of five the prisoners were shoved through old fashioned meat grinders. Rebel resistance deteriorated. The Rapiers and Lightnings lined up for the final blow firing 900 Torpedoes almost simultaneously destroying the remaining 4 SR Warboats.

Casualties of combat:
Attack Fleet (System 94):
5 Rebel LR Warboats (2 disabled)
14 Rebel SR Warboats (8 disabled)
34 Kestrels
53 Corvettes (3 destroyed)
37 Argosies (2 destroyed)
259 Rapiers (20 destroyed, 14 disabled)
413 Lightnings (35 destroyed, 20 disabled)
Soul Devourer
Life Breaker

Rebel fleet:
Destroyed

Soul Devourer is essential in reanimating disabled ships as he brings all disabled fighters inside his monstrous cargo bay where repairs are initiated.

The planetary assault had less alliance casualties due to previous planning. Kestrels and Rapiers flew by major citys dropping thousands of tons of a noxious gas known on the Old World as mustard gas. The shields lay heavy over the corpses of nine million casualties, 60% of the population. Only one city was left standing, barely. Thus beginning the revenge of the pirates which had been locked away in the Despair belt plotting this attack for decades.

The chief researcher after watching a viewing of the attack decided to risk communicating with Dread again. "Ssir. I have previous research that might be helpful to avoiding losses in our next confrontation."
"I'm listening, but don't waste my time."
"Yyes, sir. I was stuck on that miserable planet for two reasons, one for manipulating thoughts and pheromones, two for creating illicit, illegal weaponry."
"And..." Dread says in an impatient tone of voice.
"I have a weapon previously designed manipulating positive and negative energy. It was ineffective at the time I made it because while it could instantly destroy 1 Kestrel, but it couldn't hit a Kestrel. {technical garble}.
"So basically two beams, positive and negative energy converge giving a feedback doing 150 energy units of damage and tracing the shields to their most powerful origin causing double the damage done to shields to the ships hull. You may have another chance to use those pheromone tests if this weapon I have 6 prisoners of the female gender if you can install that in our new frigates within 8 weeks."
Sounding exited the scientist says "Will do boss."
"Don't call me boss."

Mindule gruntted. These pirates had taken an entire system, and no one had seen it coming. He quickly called up the systems adjacent to 94, and sent half of their fleets each to deal with the pirates. But the pirates weren't aware of the new technology of doubleshielding that the Rebels had recently finished. It wouldn't be long now.
----------
60 SRWs and 21 LRWs came into the system 94, and they opened fire. Suddenly, they were encased in not 6,000 shields, but 12,000. The pirate enemy responded with waves of fire, but 60 shield rechargers quickly got to work. By the time the pirates had destroyed 1,000 shields, they had no funtional Warboats left. All were disabled. The Rebels quickly turned their attention to the larger ships, such as the two huge looking flagships and the Kestrels. The fighters were nothing more than a bother; whereever they attacked the sphere, at least 4 or 5 beams lanced out at them, almost instantly destroying them. With Anti-fighter beams and Splinter PDSs blazing, the SRWs kept the LRWs unscratched.

As the shields slowly lowered to 10,000, the Rebels made no effort to stop attacking the kestrels and flagships, who where getting more and more weak by the second. At last, the Rebels pulled back a bit, just to let their weapons cooldown. The pirates made very little attempt to follow, as their own weapons where overheating. At last, shields recharged, the two groups began fighting again. Also, the combined computer power of the Rebel fleet managed to break the comm. block just long enough to send one message back to Rebel HQ.

(I will losen up a little bit, since my last attack was a bit to unreal against the corvettes and Argosies.)

The remaining flagships cut off communications interruption for 2 seconds sending a last ditch attempt. All fighters, Kestrels, and Corvettes fall back behind an advancing wall of Argosies and begin to use the missiles and torpedoes that had not been used, and hence been preserved. The Splinter cannons attempt to stop thousands of torpedoes and missiles flying in but only achieve a fifty percent stoppage. The shields are annihilated in seconds and soon all the enemy LRWs fall, then all ships surge heedless of life into the center of combat annihilating the remaining Rebel forces and incurring massive alliance casualties.

(Encrypted: Father's lament)
By now I am sure you have heard of my attack on the rebellion. Even though they have not informed you. My reasons behind this attack are simple, thirty years ago I was running a cargo mission for the confederacy, soy beans and broccoli to be exact. My downgraded corvette was attacked by a Rebel fleet and disabled, this was only a minor setback though. What caused this vendetta was when my 7 year-old daughter's bloated corpse floated past my window. Her quarters had been punctured and her body had been pulled out. I later found out via illegal hacking through the rebel mainframe that the assault was not the captain's initiative but was ordered by Rebel High Command, if you have children you understand. I beg your aid.

Took comes back from one exceedingly hard day at work. When he opened the door to the commons he noticed that his neighbors were drunk and flying around and bumping into stuff. They were half singing,
"Ha(hic)ppy(hic) birth(hic)day(hic) T(hic)o me(hic) "Ha(hic)ppy(hic) birth(hic)day(hic) T(hic)o me(hic). Happ(hic)y(hic) birth(hic) day(hic) dear(hic) frother(hic) happy(hic) birth(hic) day(hic) to(hic) you(hic)" .
Took looked at them with a glaring eye and said,
"What in (bloody name) are you doing?"
"It's (hic) frother's (hic) birthday," Said the most sober one.
"Oh, pour me a drink"

As the massive Factory unit prepared to jump to hyperspace, a small sphere ejected from it, just 3 meters in diameter. It came to a halt at the factory units previous position, and sat, waiting.

If someone makes a mistake, it is not my fault. I will however use it to my advantage.

By this time, Mindule was crazed about these pirates.

"I want you to send EVERYTHING near that system to destroy those pirates, and chase them until they are all dead."

"Will do, sir."
-----
The new rebel fleet was huge. With about 65 SRWs, 22 LRWs and 3 Shieldships, the sphere formation resembled something that would have made most capital ships look like gunboats. Mindule had contacted the new fleet, and had given them a different tactic than the sphere. It was called the needle.
-----
The immense fleet arrived in 94, and began to form a huge needle in space. It was much more difficult to target than the sphere, but still easy to shoot from inside. Hundreds of unrelenting lasers poured out of the fleet, who's shields were a little over 20,000, thanks to the SRWs shields and the shieldships. The pirate fleet stupidly charged into battle ( ;)). With Anti-fighter beams being used on capitals, and HPBs smashing into everything, it was not pretty. The pirates were doing some pounding with missiles, but the fighters were being mauled. The Kestrels by now were all but finished off, and all attention was now focused on the flagships. As soon as they were gone, which wouldn't take long, the Rebels could start mopping up the bigger ships.
