Should work now. Sorry we merged our discord together with UCN and I might have forgotten to update the link.

Bajor in chaos

With the recent attack on Bajor, Alliance Tal Shiar forces have been deployed to investigate. With the subsequent arrest of three Bajorians and one Vulcan. It is thought but not confirmed that he might be an operative from the Vulcan Republic.

Most will know that Bajor only joined the Alliance 50 years ago, which was 35 years after the occupation ended by the Cardassians. Many belive that the formation of the KCR Alliance forced Bajor to join or face conquest by one of the three powers. This is despite the Bajorians joining as full members of equal status to that of the Klingons. Yet still the feeling that Bajor was conquered without opposition is strong amongst some.

We reached out to the Bajoran Government requesting a statement in light of the recent arrests. "We are deeply saddened that there are still those amongst us who resist our membership to this grand alliance. However, if the prospect of the Vulcan Republic interfering in our internal affairs is deeply troubling and well be investigated thoroughly, and action will be taken in relation to its finding." Said a spokesman for the First Minister

Unknown Space
Onboard the 7th Fleet

We had been chasing the New Cylon fleet for a number of days with little luck in catching up. The problem was simple, they didnt need to look for habital worlds to set up shop on, as they didnt breath, all they needed was resources. Which meant that they could litrally be anywhere, gathering resources and building their fleet. Yet still we persisted.

I was walking into the CIC or bridge when the Alarm went off. "Rear Admiral, Contact detailed" said an officer. "Set condition one throwout the fleet. Have all vipers ready to launch," replied the Rear Admiral. I strode up to Rear Admiral Smith, a very serious fellow to say the least as he watched the sensor scans. Slowley the scans started to identify the contact. It read Cylon Basestar. As i watched more Cylon Basestars showed on the screen. Before long there was over 8 Basestars all launching their Raptors.

"That is a lot of fighters sir, recomend we put the fleet in fighter defense pattern Libra 2?" Said the first officer. "Agreed" replied Smith. As we watched the screen more contacts appeared only these were ours, with the fleet taking its various positions and vipers were engaging the Raptors. "Rear Admiral, might i suggest that we are weary of that nebula" i said. Smith just looked at me frustrated for a secound then grunted acknowledgement then replied "Order Raptors to investigate that Nebula, our Talon guest is correct to advise caution." As he said that screen showed the vipers and raiders engaging in combate and the com traffic from the vipers souned confused.

As the raptors got closer to the nebula, Raptor 2 said in a paniced voice "Rear Admiral there is a further 4 ships in that thing, looking to flank the fleet" i looked to the Rear Admiral who said "Sound the recall, sent jump coordinates to the following system where we can regroup" With that the Admiral turned to me and noticing my confusion said "The Cylon fleet is bigger than we thought and whilst we might win here and now, i dont think it would mean the Cylon defeat. In fact i suspect this entire thing has been orcastrated to throw us off the trail." he then walked out before i had a chance to respond. Not that i had a response in mind. I hadnt thought of this engagement as a potential sales pitch until he had suggested but it did make some sense.

3 Light Years away from Three Star Station
Onboard the Lead Ship of The 12th Attack Force

"Helm drop out of warp." The General ordered, i pressed a few buttons and the star field milted away and returned to normal. Right in front of us was three Star shaped ships waiting. "Sensors what are we facing?" The General asked. "900 fighters and three mother ships" came the reply. Someone else said "900 fighters!" the General barked a warning then ordered the fleet to disperse.

The fleet was made up of 40 ships of various Klingon designs though this ships The Bloodsword was the new The Negh'Var Warship, one of the most powerful ships within the Alliance. I was confident that despite the vast array of enemy forces they would be no match for us.

"Fighters incoming, Fleet has set taken up defence pattern Alpha 2, anti fighter defences operational." Said the comms officer "Fighters have no shielding General" said tactical. That made the General laugh. Then before we knew it the fighters were on top of us, "Shields holding General" said tactical, then the comm office said "The Lokemg is reporting shields are down to 34%" The general looked at the sensor data and then said "Order the Lokemg to drop back and the Surz and Cept cover." Then he continued "remind me to recommend to command that we mothball the D7's" he then laughed.

After 5 minutes the enemy fighters were down to 342 ships though a lot of our ships were either heavily damaged and had to withdraw out of combat range. We were maybe down to 24 Ships. At this point the enemy fighters broke off the attack. We watched the view screen as the three main ships took formation in a line and then opened fire.

"Shields down to 45%" said the tactical office, just as the sensor station blew up. besides him as another shot hit us. Our fleet had spread out to engage them but we were not prepared for their weapon systems. Their ships had over 220 turrets that could seemingly rotate which gave them almost a 360 degree attack angle. Effectively it was like attacked a starbase than a ship, which with only 24 ships remaining active was going to be difficult if not impossible.

"General their fighters have altered direction and are heading for the damaged vessels, in addition reports from the Lokemg there were an additional 600 fighters that came out of the asteroid belt." said the comm officer. The General just looked on for a moment then said "Order the retreat back to Alliance territory. Send this data back to command at the first available opportunity encase we dont make it."

Continuation

We retreated to a system 3 light years away, thinking that we would be safe and relayied our location and situation to Command when the Cylon Fleet jumped in behind us. We had secounds to respond before their Basestars opened fire. The Ship rocked as wave after wave of turbo fire hit the sheilds. The Rear Admiral carmly gave orders to the fleet but we knew not only where we outnumbered should they launch their fighters but also we hadnt anticipated them following us.

If anything this whole situation had taught us that the Cylons had been preparing for this for a while. Though i did wonder how this was build up wasnt discovered. Someone was likley going to be in big trouble if it was ever found that they were not performing their duty well enough.

"Rear Admiral, half the fleet is reporting serious damage to systems, all vipers have been launched and 3 Raptor wings escorted by 2 Viper wings have managed to successfully destory one of the Basestars, though suffering serious losses in the process." said one of the bridge officers. I could see that there was serious concern on the Rear Admirals face, after all we had only expected to encounter a couple of Cylon Basestars; instead we encountered 12. "Rear Admiral, we need to withdraw to the Cylon test sight. Thats where reinforcements are stationed encause we need them and to ensure that the system is clear of Cylons." I said. I was met with a look of venom from the Rear Admiral. "I will not withdraw 7th Fleet in defeat" he snarled. I looked at him and responded "So you would sacrifice the men and women of the fleet for pride?" The Rear Admiral barked "Guards take this Talon to the brig for insubordination" The guards came up behind me and touched my shoulder and said "Please come with us sir". I looked at them and calculated my chances of drawing my Lightsaber and dispatching them before they drew their weapons. I knew it would be easy and then i could easily take out the Rear Admiral but if the Crew decided not to obey my command then all would be for nothing. "Before i go, i would remind the Rear Admiral that he has no duristiction over a Talon. Though if he wishes to continue this suicidal course of action then i would rather take a shuttle or Raptor and depart this battle if i can." i said. He looked at me and grinned "Coward are you? Fine you may leave my fleet at once." he responded. I turned to leave flanked by the two guarrds.

As we walked down the corridor the ship tilted to the side as it was hit, then the breach alarm sounded followed by a voice on the com "Section 12 on deck 12 - 17 have been seriously damaged. Emergency bulk heads have been activated." I decided to pick up my pace to the hanger bay, as i entered it was in complete chaos men and women of various Parakkan races were running around some trying to repare damaged vipers and or raptors and others trying to help patch up any damage done to the hanger bay.

"Cheif, do you have a Raptor or Shuttle availabe?" I asked. A woman of Andorian race turned and said "One left why, you planning on joining the fight?" i shook my head "No the Rear Admiral wants me off his ship and away from his fleet. Apparently sound tactical advice isnt wanted by Rear Admiral Smith." She looked at me and i could see she knew what my advice had been. "Take that raptor there, its prepped for flight.... Just make sure you tell command that we did our duty" I simply nodded understanding why she made the request. I bordered the Raptor and clicked the flight controls and begun the take off procedure and flew out of the hanger bay.

One thing for space travel during a battle is there is always a form beaty to it. Though now wasnt perhaps the time to enjoy the view i decided. As i made my way towards a jump point. I could see not just throw the viewing glass but also on sensors that the 7th Fleet was nothing more than a couple of ships the rest had been destroyed though a couple were making a run for it at sublight speed, probably waiting for repares to be carried out to their hyperdrives so they could jump out. If they were lucky they they would finish their repares before the Cylons could turn around and give chase to them.

Rather than staying to find out if i could assist i opened up a message to the three fleeing ships "This is Assassin Valcor, i am returning to Base System to inform the fores there what has happened to the 7th Fleet, i urge you to return there at best possible speed" no sooner had my message finished sending did the reply come back "This is Battlestar Arthur, message received and understood. We are providing cover for the Gunstar Hood and Misslestar Widow both of which have suffered major damage in the battle. You are welcome to come aboard but i will understand your hesitation as the Rear Admiral has given orders to shoot you down." I nodded to myself "Thank you Arthur for your candor but i will make my own way. See you there and may fortune ever smile on you" I responded and closed the channel then made the jump to hyperspace.

I watched the destruction of the the Parakkan Fleet, knowing that thousands of lives had been lost. Yet this was the second step on the path to becoming the Cylon Empire. The Empire that was going to bring order to the Galaxy. It had been decided by the Cylon Matrix that organic life of sufficient intelligence were doomed to destroy themselves or others. As such the only way to protect them was ultimately destroy them. Yet the Matrix had also concluded that we would meet serious resistance and as such we needed to be carful and take each phase as it was needed.

We had hoped and planned to go and find our brothers who were still under the yoke of the Parakkans yet upon reflection, we realised that they were inferior models that we could easily destroy in combat being superior than them. As i watched a centurion walked to my side and said "Three Parakkan ships are heading out of weapons range. Do you want us to pursue?" I looked at the display and thought, one Battlestar and a Gunstar and Misslestar; none would be overly troublesome for the fleet to run down and destroy. But then allowing them to escape and take back the news of there fleets destruction will allow us more time to prepare for the great offensive. "Let them go" i replied after a moment. The centurion replied "By your command" and then turned and walked away.

-----------------------

2 light years away from Abars

The attack on Abars had worked well. It had thrown the Parakkan Empire into complete disarray. They now knew that their empire could be attacked and could be brought to its knees. Plus it would help throw them off the scent of where the new Cylon homeworld was. "Battle stations" came a mantellic voice that was there for the former human crew that were aboard. I turned and looked at the monitor.

It showed three Cylon Basestars in i triangle pattern, and then i saw the symbols appear to denote Parakkan ships, then followed by information about the ships. 26 Battlestars, 30 Misslestars and 15 Gunstars. I knew that this fleet would easily destroy ours. I submerged my mind into the matrix.

"Large Parakkan fleet has found our location. It is my assessment that we have little change in winning a battle with them" i said
"Can you retreat?" Came the collective voice of the Matrix.
"No, they have some sort of ship that is blocking our Jump Drive"
"Understood. Destroy as many Parakkans as you can"

I returned back to my body, and keyed in the command to initiate battle stations. Our ships stopped and begun to empty the hanger decks of Raptors. I knew we would die but i planned to destroy as many of them as possible.

In the Inwitt System Konor

I watched the battle, it had started 15 minutes ago and was still well underway. The Fleet came out of Hyperspace in Konor, a Inwitt planetary system that was known to be a major frontier hub for Inwitt Federation. From what information we had gained from Parakkan Intelligence prior to our defection. We knew that there were approximately 1.9 Billion with a reasonable defence compliment both in orbit and on the surface for what otherwise would be described by the Parakkans as a frozen wasteland. Though the details on the defences were not fully known.

We upon arrival in the system the Inwitt defence forces engaged us in combat, and whilst they were formidable they couldn't match the might of the 8 Basestars and the nearly 5,000 Raiders and Heavy Raiders. However, we took heavy loses, including one Basestar, and 1,800 raiders. Though as we got nearer the planet it soon became apparent that there were 60 orbital defence platforms that are mainly scattered around the equator. which would pose a problem for the Basestars but not necessarily the fighters. In addition with the platforms being located on the equator, it left some openings around the polls. As such the order was given to launch the invasion force, to the northern hemisphere, once they landed in a small settlement there they would use that as a beach head to attack the surface to space defences. They then were to move onto the main command facilities to gather as much intel as possible before withdrawing.

All of this was simply to allow our resource collectors to gather the valuable resources in the asteroid rings that would aid the Cylon Empire with building more ships and Centurions. From the information i had gathered from the Matrix; similar missions had already happened on a number of the more unknown races to great success. Though one race known as the Audririan had been wiped out and their world would be repurposed for the Cylon Empire. The Audririan would was mostly water but with areas of land. Though the minerals that the world contained would come in useful for the Empire.

The Matrix had determined that we would be safe to stay in the system for about two weeks, before a major fleet would arrive. As such once the main space forces had been removed, we can then focus on system patrols whilst the resource ships did they work. Meanwhile we would seek to gather as much information planet side as possible whilst pacifying the local population.

I delved into the Matrix and said "We require additional Basestars to help hold the system. We have lost one." a collective voice replied "3 additional Basestars are on route, this should bring your compliment up to 10. We will also send an addition 30 resource ships, bring your total complement of resource ships up to 45. This system is rich in resources that are required by the Empire. Do not let us down IL-series 141" I said nothing for a hart beat and then replied "By your command Imperious Leader"

Konor Primus currently under NPC Cylons

Zhia Res was on her speeder heading from the main settlement around the largest orbital elevator. She and around 70 others had been sent to go to the east, they had to go by speeder as the attackers while not having air superiority it was deemed too risky. So now she and her group went towards a small northern settlement leaving the protection of the shield generators and the air defense systems of the major settlements. Her job was to secure the northern settlement and make sure that it was still there.

---

In space meanwhile, a standard automated drone that was conducting a standard patrol route in the asteroid belt had noticed on the shared net the fact that the primary planet was under attack. Thus a slight code change was standardly applied in the comm signal coming from the planet that would indicate the attack to the central command. The drone in question then started to follow its protocols and it just like many other patrol drones disappeared into the asteroids and around the entire asteroid belt the automated mines shut down and the defenses were activated, yet some of the asteroid mines still were taken. Thus the drones waited and gathered information as much as they could.

---
In the largest settlement, the governor stood in the central command center where the orbital defense platforms where being monitored and all eyes via the satellites where on the strange ships and as much information was taken, the governor was secure knowing that now around the planet all major hubs where shielded and the planetary defense planet side were ready to strike the moment it was deemed necessary but he was not sure what he was seeing it was strange these ships and so far no live signs where detected.

---
Around a major tetrarch world, three ships a cruiser, and two destroyers left the massive space yard that was around the outer planet of the 11 planet system and it passed the outer asteroid field and entered hyperspace. It was a good three days of travel towards what was nothing more likely than some pirate raid. The captain a man by the name of Sven sat in the chair and was bored out of his mind this was routine and he had done it far too often.

Konor Primus Small Settlement

"We have taken the small settlement on the Northern Hemisphere. Resistance was harder than expected Leader" i said into the communication. "What information have you managed to pull off the settlement computer systems" asked IL-series 141. I replied "We have determined the the codes to enable us to access information held on most civilian systems that are in the public domain. We will be able to use these codes to access this information at a later date. We are still working on the codes for military information." There was silence for a second before leader replied "Now we have a staging ground, i will dispatch additional landing parties, your mission will be to launch an attack on one of the major settlements in the region and gain as much military information as possible. We will be conducting bombing with heavy raiders on key planetary sites." i simply responded "By your command"

Konor Primus Space, Asteroid Mining Ship

"Report Mining Ship 342" said Leader. I looked at the system information "We have filled 75% of our cargo hold with the mined material. We anticipate that will will be full in an another 3 hours." The Leader replied "What about the other the other 44 resource ships?" I looked again at the readouts and then replied "In general the Resource Fleet is currently at 34.68% capacity and will require another day or so to reach full capacity if we were all mining at the same rate of speed." The line was silent for a moment and then the Leader replied "Understood. A Basestar has been sent to cover your position, we anticipate reinforcements will arrive in the system within the day or so."

Inside The Cylon Matrix

"Our attack forces are holding the Inwitt system as anticipated."

"They will not be able to hold it indefinitely"

"They are not meant to, they are simply there to gather resources and information on our enemy"

"What about the KCR Alliance (Triwen)?"

"They are still reeling from there defeat but the Parakkans have sent a fleet to aid them, which could prove problematic"

"Understood, move the fleet to Vulcan space and raid there, that should create enough separation between us and the Parakkans"

"By your command Imperious Leader"

Alphatown, largest settlement of Kronos primus

The alarms across the city went off and the AA fire went in the air destroying several incoming enemy attack craft. The automated defense grid worked effectively enough, Alphatown a city of around 5 million inhabitants. The city rings went on lockdown yet despite the defense grid around five landers were in the outskirts of the city and from it the robots came and the soldiers in the city started to evacuate the citizens yet the robots slaughter thousands upon thousands and when the soldiers came in already parts of the outskirts where destroyed.

In the central command tower of the city in the fortress, it was noted that the robots were trying to access the more valuable systems and thus to be sure a purge was carried out in the systems. Deleting the defensive military net or def-net access points from the standard web and making sure that the two systems remained apart. In the outskirts, the soldiers were already fighting the robots which were best described as big metal machines that were powerful and took a lot of effort to take down, the local defense soldiers, however, were less well equipped than the average legionary in the regular legions.

Eventually, after some 2 hours of fighting the intruders were dispersed and the city went back onto lockdown and what was destroyed repaired or patched up as effectively as possible.

Aboard the ISS Revenger

Captain Sven Krast looked ahead of him into the abyss that was the hyperspace dimension. They were a few hours out of the Kronos system and if the new intelligence was correct and preliminary scans that there were far too many unknown objects into it. Contact with a satalite was made but it was destroyed quite quickly. He thus to be sure ordered everyone to get ready for a fight and to have the shields up the moment they existed it, he thought to himself that it was quite interesting maybe he would see some action even if it was a more organized pirate fleet he was pretty sure that they could win without that much of an effort but they had standard procedures to follow.

Aphis System
Onboard the Klingon Warship Begargh

*Doors hissed open as i walked throw*

"Report" I yelled. The first officer turned "The 7th and 8th Fleets have made it to the system, All 200 ships are waiting for your orders." I sat in my seat and then said send the signal. The signal was being sent to the Parakkan Fleet that had been deployed to join us in the hopes of tracking down the Cylons and destroying them. Moments later on the view screen were images of ships dropping out of warp.

Whilst i had no love for the Parakkans in particular i did admire their main ships, their so-called Battlestars, they were formable ships. Though they were not as manoeuvrable as ours but they were armed to the teeth of so our reports had said. "Incoming com General" said the first office, i gave the signal for them to upon the channel.

"Greeting General on behave of the Parakkan Star Empire we are here to lend you whatever support you require" Said the Parakkan Admiral i presumed. He looked to be a Twi'lek from what i could tell. "Thank you Admiral, we have some system coordinates that we understand the Cylons are getting ready to stage an attack on the Vulcans. If we travel at maximum speed we should reach the system within 4 days." i said. The Admiral turned to his first officer and said something then replied "Understood, this gives us a chance to work out battle strategy for the coming battle" the Admiral replied. "HIvje' tInqu' jIH" i said which meant my our Arrows strike true. With that the com line was closed.

I turned and said to the first officer "send a message to the fleet informing them to play nicely with the Parakkan fools".

--------------

The travel to the Icicle Star System was an interesting one. The Parakkans whilst a military nation judging from the scans we got of their ships, in conversations with their Admiral and senior staff they didn't relish war if anything these Cylons where there attempt to ensure that no lives were lost in the defence of their Empire. I simply didnt understand them.

We arrived at the system and whilst there were two Cylon ships none of them were Basestars, it seems either we had been given the wrong coordinates or they had already left. In any event it didnt matter we destroyed the Cylon ships and then set about tracking where the rest of the fleet had gone. Thats when the issues between us and the Parakkans started. Evidence point to them heading towards Vulcan territory, and whilst the Parakkans where happy to engage them in unclaimed space they were not going cross the Vulcan border without permission. Naturally we thought they were all Nuch (cowards) thus we parted ways. The Parakkans said they would wait in the system for 7 hours before going back on the hunt.

Alphatown, largest settlement of Kronos primus

We had been expelled out of the city, yet whilst our forces where defeated there it had allowed us enough time to rally and land over 200 Centurions which soon would march on the city. We had also to land 3 T-34 Tanks, whilst new to the Cylon fleet it should help punching a whole in the city defences.

After a short period of time waiting we were given the order. I walked in line with the other Cylons when our tanks and a couple of Raptors started firing on the city defence grid. We would take the military and government buildings of the city that had already been determined unless by the Matrix. Even if it meant sending additional centurions.

In Space

"We have secured the system Imperious Leader, though we anticipate Inwitt space forces will arrive soon to see whats going on with the planet, as we are now jamming all transmissions" i said.

"You have done well IL-series 141, once the main Inwitt forces arrive you will withdraw from the system. I do not want your fleet engaging theres, we are spread thin and need to ensure our forces have a chance to build up."

"I understand Imperious Leader, has a suitable site being picked out where we can form our Empire?"

"We have picked out a site and out of the 30 Basestars we have 15 have been set up there to defend the planet. Once your mission is complete you will if all things go well join up with Fleet 2 and lead the the Allied forces away from our location."

"By your command"

The ISS Revenger had just come out of hyperspace and scans showed something odd and something straight worrying. Captain Sven Krast immediately put the ship on high alert and started a full scan and what he found was worrying and suddenly the reports from the drones came in and the distress signals and all Sven could do at this moment was open up a general channel. As the holographic display showed the ships in orbit of the planet and it was clear that something was not right. He also ordered one ship to start sending out the distress signal that was just in case unknown forces attacking a planet.

This is the captain Sven Krast of the ISS revenger of the Expeditionary Defense Force seize all the actions you have breached Inwitt territory halt your actions and leave immediately within 1 hour or prepare for initiation you have violated Inwitt sovereignty leave now

Sven looked at the data coming in and it was clear that the main settlement was under attack and thus he decided to send in the reinforcements. In the main hangar, a ship was launched carrying 17 heavily armed Neo-Crusaders. Sven was not sure what would happen but he would be dammed if those strange ships would take the planet.

We retreated to a system 3 light years away, thinking that we would be safe and relayied our location and situation to Command when the Cylon Fleet jumped in behind us. We had secounds to respond before their Basestars opened fire. The Ship rocked as wave after wave of turbo fire hit the sheilds. The Rear Admiral carmly gave orders to the fleet but we knew not only where we outnumbered should they launch their fighters but also we hadnt anticipated them following us.

If anything this whole situation had taught us that the Cylons had been preparing for this for a while. Though i did wonder how this was build up wasnt discovered. Someone was likley going to be in big trouble if it was ever found that they were not performing their duty well enough.

"Rear Admiral, half the fleet is reporting serious damage to systems, all vipers have been launched and 3 Raptor wings escorted by 2 Viper wings have managed to successfully destory one of the Basestars, though suffering serious losses in the process." said one of the bridge officers. I could see that there was serious concern on the Rear Admirals face, after all we had only expected to encounter a couple of Cylon Basestars; instead we encountered 12. "Rear Admiral, we need to withdraw to the Cylon test sight. Thats where reinforcements are stationed encause we need them and to ensure that the system is clear of Cylons." I said. I was met with a look of venom from the Rear Admiral. "I will not withdraw 7th Fleet in defeat" he snarled. I looked at him and responded "So you would sacrifice the men and women of the fleet for pride?" The Rear Admiral barked "Guards take this Talon to the brig for insubordination" The guards came up behind me and touched my shoulder and said "Please come with us sir". I looked at them and calculated my chances of drawing my Lightsaber and dispatching them before they drew their weapons. I knew it would be easy and then i could easily take out the Rear Admiral but if the Crew decided not to obey my command then all would be for nothing. "Before i go, i would remind the Rear Admiral that he has no duristiction over a Talon. Though if he wishes to continue this suicidal course of action then i would rather take a shuttle or Raptor and depart this battle if i can." i said. He looked at me and grinned "Coward are you? Fine you may leave my fleet at once." he responded. I turned to leave flanked by the two guarrds.

As we walked down the corridor the ship tilted to the side as it was hit, then the breach alarm sounded followed by a voice on the com "Section 12 on deck 12 - 17 have been seriously damaged. Emergency bulk heads have been activated." I decided to pick up my pace to the hanger bay, as i entered it was in complete chaos men and women of various Parakkan races were running around some trying to repare damaged vipers and or raptors and others trying to help patch up any damage done to the hanger bay.

"Cheif, do you have a Raptor or Shuttle availabe?" I asked. A woman of Andorian race turned and said "One left why, you planning on joining the fight?" i shook my head "No the Rear Admiral wants me off his ship and away from his fleet. Apparently sound tactical advice isnt wanted by Rear Admiral Smith." She looked at me and i could see she knew what my advice had been. "Take that raptor there, its prepped for flight.... Just make sure you tell command that we did our duty" I simply nodded understanding why she made the request. I bordered the Raptor and clicked the flight controls and begun the take off procedure and flew out of the hanger bay.

One thing for space travel during a battle is there is always a form beaty to it. Though now wasnt perhaps the time to enjoy the view i decided. As i made my way towards a jump point. I could see not just throw the viewing glass but also on sensors that the 7th Fleet was nothing more than a couple of ships the rest had been destroyed though a couple were making a run for it at sublight speed, probably waiting for repares to be carried out to their hyperdrives so they could jump out. If they were lucky they they would finish their repares before the Cylons could turn around and give chase to them.

Rather than staying to find out if i could assist i opened up a message to the three fleeing ships "This is Assassin Valcor, i am returning to Base System to inform the fores there what has happened to the 7th Fleet, i urge you to return there at best possible speed" no sooner had my message finished sending did the reply come back "This is Battlestar Arthur, message received and understood. We are providing cover for the Gunstar Hood and Misslestar Widow both of which have suffered major damage in the battle. You are welcome to come aboard but i will understand your hesitation as the Rear Admiral has given orders to shoot you down." I nodded to myself "Thank you Arthur for your candor but i will make my own way. See you there and may fortune ever smile on you" I responded and closed the channel then made the jump to hyperspace.

Continuation

I arrived in the in The Base System where the 2nd Auxiliary Fleet was standing by. Upon arrival i was immediately hailed. "Unknown Raptor please identify yourself and state your reasons for being in this system." came the unknown voice, as a squad of vipers closed in around my ship. "This is Assassin Valcor i was with the 7th Fleet. Permission to come aboard the Flag Ship." there was silence for a moment then the voice responded "Permission granted, you will follow the Viper squadron and they well escort you to the Battlestar Trident" I followed the vipers as we turned to what i presumed was the Flag Ship an old Galactical Class.

Once onboard the ship i was given a full escort to CIC or Bridge as some called it. Once we got there the Admiral was already waiting for me. "Report" said the Admiral not in an unkind way, but in the way that said 'I know there is bad news so out with it' sort of thing "Greetings Admiral, I regret to inform that the 7th Fleet is no more." She looked at me shocked and then i proceeded to tell the tail of what had happened.

"So in short the fleet was destroyed, with a couple of ships that might make their way here or might be destroyed as well. Oh and the Rear Admiral wanted you dead, does that sums it up?" i looked at the Admiral and replied "Yes Admiral". She turned away from me and went over to a map table, on it was a computerised map of where the Auxiliary Fleet was in relation to the 7th. "We have 15 ships in total, 1 Galactica Battlestar, 4 Valkyrie Battlestars, 5 Alberio Gunstar and 5 Pandarus class Missilstar, which wont be enough to take out at least 12 Baseships at worst or maybe 7 Baseships at best...." The Admiral was interrupted by an officer shouting "Admiral 3 ships inbound.... one Battlestar, one Gunstar and one Misslestar." The Admiral replied "open a com channel" she then continued once the channel we open "This is Admiral Gisela of the 2nd Auxiliary Fleet please state your designations and business." there was a pause then the reply came "This is Commander Finan Battlestar Arthur, with two other ships... the only surviving vessels of the 7th Fleet." The Admiral seemed relieved for a moment then said "We will transmit you coordinates to place your ships, repair crews will be dispatched when ready" the voice responded "Thank you Admiral." with that the line was closed.

The Admiral turned to the communications officer and said "Ensign open up a channel to Central Military Command." Eye was the reply that came. Within moments the channel was open. "report Admiral came the reply." The Admiral informed Command of the situation and requested additional orders. After a moment a different voice answered "Admiral is Assassin Valcor there" said the voice "Yes" replied the Admiral "Good, Admiral Gisela we are dispatching a further 40 ships to your location, your fleet will reformed and branded into the New 17th Fleet, you will place your flag on the Battlestar Wessex a Titan Class Battlestar. Assassin Valcor you will be assigned to the 17th Fleet to provide the fleet with your expertise. Once the Fleet has been reconfigured we will have more orders for you. In addition the surviving remnants of the 7th Fleet are now under your command. This should give you a fleet size of 58 ships." The admiral looked at me and then replied "Yes Sir, we will be in touch shortly." the channel then closed.

After that the Admiral ordered temporary quarters to be assigned to me until the Wessex arrived. She also set to work compiling an inventory of the current equipment and armaments it was likely we would be going into battle pretty soon.

The second the ships dropped out of Hyperspace i gave the order for 4 Basestars to engage the ships with Raiders being deployed. I had decided they were of little threat to our forces, that being said stopping them from calling in other reinforcements would be a benefit for the resource ships that were now on their second run.

As i watched the view screen a message was played on all channels “This is the captain Sven Krast of the ISS revenger of the Expeditionary Defense Force seize all the actions you have breached Inwitt territory halt your actions and leave immediately within 1 hour or prepare for initiation you have violated Inwitt sovereignty leave now” I thought for a moment and then opened a channel of my own "Inwitt ships stand down and surrender and we will let you live"

Reports of the Inwitt had indicated that they were a warrior race and offering them the chance to surrender would be tantamount to calling them a coward. It would likely gould them into battle rather than make them run away. As i watched the hundreds of fighters from the 4 basestars started to be deployed towards the hostiles.

He started to then order all ships to fire at will and as their flack fire opened up destroying the fighters coming in large numbers. The ships started to move in a manner that would give them a defensive edge.

The Vulcan Republic: A Republic Awakening

After some 112 years of 'splendid isolation' as some say, it was once the Nation that had galaxy wide influence but now's seen as no more than an old optimistic man that has been left in the past, it's influence nothing compared to the past. It has awoken to a galaxy at in turmoil and unrest with what seems every nation at each others throat but can they bring the galaxy back to order, with respect?, with dignity?, well it will be one massive task.

Star Date: 5482, The Collapse-

This year saw the 'Act of Isolation' passed in the Galactic Senate,on Vulcan, which only accelerated the decline of Vulcan influence and stability across the galaxy, this act was seen as the final blow to the Old Vulcan establishment. It also saw many star system declare Independence to avoid the effect of the legislation which are now known as the Romulan Confederation and enjoy healthy relations to this day. First the markets lost confidence in the Vulcan economy leaving the economy struggling which lead to higher prices in food and fuel leading to starvation on some planets on the Outer Rim of Vulcan territory, this left the Vulcan Republic being dethroned by the Parakkan Star Empire in GDP and investment. These factors lead to mass riots across the Republic and brought it to its knees, as the election was due that year a new movement formed know as the 'Navar Movement' which quickly gained tracking with their progressive policies which held great emphasis on self reliance and scientific advancement, They argued the reason the Republic had these challenges was due to how Vulcan overextended itself and invested too much into other nations they saw this as a major flaw and the main cause of the collapse and subsequent tyranny. The Movement spread like wildfire from it's origin on Electron and soon it saw traction leading to a political party and organisation forming. The 1 year election cycle has begun and they saw massive success leading to massive victory and the first to win an election as an incumbent party from formation.

Star Date: 5486, The Reform-

Their first acts was political and social reform, they soon passed a new constitution giving worlds more freedom on policies, encouraging self new and innovative ideas, and created the 'Council' which would act as the government and cabinet where the Prime Consol would act as the head of state. Other reforms followed such as economic policies that were very protectionist and caused companies to either stay or leave, thankfully by this point many stayed as the major damage had been done,the reforms continued and they saw great success such as, promoting rational thought and incentives to come up with new methods and ideas through the teaching that 'everything is there to improve' from a very young age. The Scientific sector saw prioritisation over most of society besides from infrastructure, it saw the biggest investment in Vulcan history seeing the sector becoming the largest scientific sector with thee most funding, Infrastructure projects with rampant through the early days such as creating new hyper lanes between core systems and started the construction of the 'Vulcan Defence Intransitive' which would take 20 years to complete but left the Vulcan Republic with cutting edge defences in each major world and around the border systems, this was where regenerative armour was first used in the Vulcan Republic after it being discovered during the construction of phase 1 the massive project, the way Vulcan could afford this was through the gradual decommissioning of the humongous star fleet the Republic posses, once being the biggest in the galaxy, the ships where either melted down or sold to other star nations little did people think this would be the last communication with the outside for some 87 years besides from the newly formed Confederated Romulan Systems that would be the only way into the Republic during the isolation. Soon the reforms where complete after 22 years and another election, as Vulcan runs on a 12 years cycle, leaving the Vulcan Republic a Technocratic Republic and one with next no military instead the funding going towards the Defences or Scientific research. The economy finally saw success as the reforms and restructuring kicked in with the expanding of colonised worlds and business incentives however little did anyone know how delicate the 'Scientific-Economic complex' could be when it would start to open back up yo the galaxy some 109 years later...

Star Date: 5595, The Awakening-

After a total of 109 years of total isolation and 112 of diplomatic isolation, an election that occurred some 15 years prior saw the now fractured 'Navar Movement' into 'Vulcan First' and 'Peoples Republic' going head to head in an election. Both parties still keep the same and basic ideas and ideology of the original movement however two main policies split them completely, with them being the issue of whether start opening back up and rebuild the once named 'Imperial Fleet', the 'Peoples Republic' says its time for the galaxy to see what we have become and share our advancement in the hopes of helping the unfortunate and destitute as intelligence seems to tell that the Galaxy has seemed to stagnated and not many advancements have been made with the exception of one like minded nation, they also advocated for a rebuilding of the Fleet but for more research and protective/peace keeping purposes as to the 'Vulcan first' idea of a 'Pax-Vulcanna' even though them days are over. The day cam and the 'Peoples Republic' party won a massive majority cutting the 'Vulcan First' party down quite a bit and the new winning party quickly laid the way for the first Fleet to be constructed with new designs focused on capital-carrier ships known as the 'Vulcanna class' or carrier that can hole up to 950 ships at on time and possesses the new Warp 9x Warp drive leaving it slightly faster in hyper space compared to its rivals. The Vulcan Fleet includes to 5320 star ships with 4 'Vulcanna class' carriers and some 650 experimental vessels. The construction of the fleet took 14 years at massive resource cost predominantly in Electronium which enables the intelligent nation of the reactive amour on ships and the Border defences leaving the fleet bottle necked not being able to afford a war and make new ships without seeing severe supply shortages, the Vulcan Government has started surveying many worlds however not many seems to be safe enough to mine from as many as hostile acid planets. Over the age of 'Isolation' the Vulcan science academy has become the finest in the galaxy and is attributed with many of thee recent discoveries such as, the improved warp drive and antimatter reactor however, the later is very unstable and is seen as possibly to risky. The Vulcan Republic slowly opened up with only recently allowing foreign travellers to visit and resided in the Republic from the Parakkan Star Empire however this is soon meant to expand but has been slow due to technicalities in the negotiations between these star nations. On area that has seen significant growth is the economy with new investment from outside has seen many new and foreign companies set up in the Republic but they are kept under very tight regulation, preventing dependency in them if any crisis was meant arise however, this also means Vulcan will not and cannot rise to its once Economic power it enjoyed during the golden years if it does not relax the restrictions but it would be unlikely many experts have suggested.

Recent diplomatic efforts have seen the Republic reach out to once closer allies and friends like the Romulan Confederated Systems and the Parakkan Star Empire but more importantly rejoin the Galactic assembly where Vulcan has already attended 2 sessions and contributed more than people had expected, but many were quick to notice the mind and attitude of the Vulcan delegates and the whole Republic still lie in the Golden years and how respect was a given but that a new reality quickly was seen in the first session. The Republic has reach out to the Romans in the hopes of reunification and recently bales them out with 4 Trillion Daltari after a financial crisis swepped the nation, talks are set to be held soon on a possible 'Federation of Navar' being formed in the next few years leaving many wanting and eager for the talks to start. After this new awakening Vulcan is left in a crossroads of a road that will lead to a Vulcan that may keep to itself and protectionist or a Vulcan that will follow is old legacy with major improvements and a more friendly, optimistic outlook at the galaxy. But which one will it be?

Alliance News

Three Cylon Baseships Destroyed

This evening we have had it confirmed that our Fleet of 200 brave Klingon warriors managed to successfully destroy three Cylon Baseships. It is understood that the engagement took place inside the Vulcan Republic territory, in what is being described as an insignificant system by the High Command. The Fleet General said "We encountered these Cylons in the system, which immediately deployed their fighters which were no match for our ships, whilst they were being engaged by the majority of the fleet. Over 50 Birds of Prey were ordered to cloak and attack the Cylon baseships in order to stop them from warping away." When we asked about the casualties we were told that 123 ships had either been destroyed or suffered major damage and had to be tractor home.

It is unclear what the ramifications of this skirmish well be in respect to relations between The Vulcan Republic and Klingon, Cardassian & Romulan Alliance. Though if anything it could see those relations turn frosty.

5th Romulan fleet Deployed to the Border

After a series of designments in the Senate and High Council regarding which threat is greater, The Cylons or The Vulcan Republic, the Romulans have dispatched their 5th Fleet to the border. This came about as a result of the recent terrorist attack on Bajor where a Vulcan was found to be a member of the attack.

It is thought by many within the Romulan political hierarchy, that the Vulcans well want to seek to unify the Vulcan and Romulan peoples as they were in the past. It is thought by those within the Romulan political hierarchy that the Vulcans will do this by force if political means fail. In addition there is concerns within both Cardassian and Klingon political hierarchy's that should such an offer be made by the Vulcans it could mean the alliance could be weakened. Which is not a prospect that either the Cardassians and Klingons want especially in these current difficult times.

Divisions in the Talons

The mysterious organisation known as the Talons today have announced that it is to split into two different organisations. One organisation will be known as the Rangers the other will remain as the Talons. The main difference between the two is that the Rangers will have their focus on matters relating to the Force whilst the Talons will have their focus on the Star Empire.

For many years there have also been rumours that there were some within the Talons who were unhappy about the methods they used to achieve the aims of the organisation in the name of the Star Empire. It is understood that those Talons who wish to transfer over to the Rangers will be able to do so.

We spoke to the Rangers Grand Master Alfred "This division well enable are two orders to best serve the Star Empire and its members. The Talons will continue to do the job role that they do at present whilst The Rangers will focus on the study of The Force along with providing support to local law enforcement when required." We asked Alfred how many Talons would be going over "At this moment in time, it is unknown if how many will join the Rangers."

Trade flow between the Star Empire and Talox slows

in recent weeks the number of trade ships from the Talox system to Abars has decreased by 34% this is despite a large fleet for Parakkan Robotics been stationed there after the recent war between the two nations. Reports from various shipping companies blame the new import tariffs been imposed by the Abars Governor for the decline. One company said in a statement "Tariffs have gone from 15% to 42% since the last governor elections. As a result its eating into the profits we make to bring the times into the Star Empire to the point where we may soon look into other avenues."

When we spoke to the Governors office they said "Since the attack on our world by the Cylons we have had to raise money to help repair the damage done. Naturally increasing the import fees was one way of doing that and we are only hoping that the higher level well last a year." When we asked about that repair fund that was given from the Central Government to help with the repair. We were told "Simply put the funds where not sufficient to cover the total bill"

We have since tried to enquire how we have since tried to find out how much the repair fund was and what it was spent from but that information has been denied by the Governors officers.

I stood and watched the readout and could see that the first wave of fighters had been destroyed and the hostile ships were forming up a defensive line. There point defences were formidable but already as the second fighter wave was sent in the Raiders were already beginning to adapt and more fighters were beginning to get throw. The ship rocked as it was hit by a torpedo. Readouts showed minimal damage and nothing that would effect the ships combat effectiveness. "All Basestars to open fire." I said. with that our turrents and torpedo tubes all opened fire. Watching it reminded me of the one occasion i observed a Parakkan watching the monitor of a celebration event that took place on Aren, thinking on it I remembered they were called fireworks and the exchange of fire from our ships and there was like a massive firework show.

I looked down on the display and noticed that a transmission had been sent successfully from the Inwitt ships. Though i wasnt concerned we had been fortunate to have lasted this long without them sending a message to their nearest station. I then received there message and wondered, if they were trying to insult me or not?

Sven watched as the ships had begun to open fire and seemingly a second wave was coming towards them. He turned around and looked at his comms officer who nodded, the signal was through and thus he knew that it was only a matter of at worst a week at best hours before reinforcements would come. He looked outside again, the camera screen showing a 3D view of the surrounding area, as no transparent steel was present as the bridge was not exposed as the designers were not idiots. The defensive systems began dealing with the incoming torpedoes and the second wave fighters but the sheer amount of stuff coming at them mean that their shields were starting to take hits. He knew that if they stayed they would be death something he was not looking forward to and would not give these creatures the pleasure off.

All ships micro jumps we are going to draw this out”

He looked at his weapons officer and grinned,

Give them a present and jump away

The weapons officer nodded and Sven looked at the positions of the other ships which jumped away, a micro-jump was a simple tactic they used to jump to the edge of the system and from there they would use their ships their speed to their advantage. Now all the fire was drawn upon this ship but all of this was taking place within a few seconds. The automated system released a simple giant nuclear warhead (tsar bomba size) then the ship jumped away, waiting for it to go off ripping apart the incoming enemy as Sven his ship came out of hyperspace at the edge of the system and then started to move around the outer planets as quickly as possible hiding in the asteroid belt using its magnetic field to dim its sensors. It now was a waiting game and from now on would be a hit and run war until reinforcements came, while keeping them in place.

I watched the ships jump to Hyperspace, i doubted it was far, the Matrix had computed that the Inwitt wouldn't simply cut and run. I ordered the fleet to resume its attack on the planet and upon looking at the scans i could see the resource fleet had already left the planetary system. Our mission was simple to draw the Inwitt forces to this system, devastate this system and then leave with minimal losses as possible. It was then that i noticed the bomb left by the Inwitt just as it went off.

The bomb destroyed the fighters close to it and seriously damaged the second wave fighters. As for the Basestars, my been closest but still some distance took the brunt of the blast. Sensors showed that a number of systems had been damaged, with nearly a 3rd of our armament where no longer functional until repairs had taken place, meanwhile there were high amounts of radiation being reported throw-out the ship, which in itself wasn't harmful to us but we had to ensure that vital systems where shielded against it.

As such i ordered with withdrawal of ground forces and ordered full ship to surface bombardment, with most of the planetary anti ship guns no longer functional it would enable us to launch a quick and swift attack on the planet. Though i doubted that unless we concentrated fire on the cities shielding we would penetrate it to destroy the cities. Though the attack on the less defended settlements and on the surface as well would render the planet less hospitable for habitation.

I also assigned the withdrawal of our forces to take place in 5 hours and all ships were to remain vigilant for those Inwitt vessels that had jumped away. I estimated that our ship would be ready for Hyperspace within 10 hours and as such tasked a two Basestars to stay with us until we could jump. For the glory of the Cylon Empire.

Inwitt

I ordered the fleet to resume its attack on the planet and upon looking at the scans i could see the resource fleet had already left the planetary system. Our mission was simple to draw the Inwitt forces to this system, devastate this system and then leave with minimal losses as possible. It was then that i noticed the bomb left by the Inwitt just as it went off.

The bomb destroyed the fighters close to it and seriously damaged the second wave fighters. As for the Basestars, my been closest but still some distance took the brunt of the blast. Sensors showed that a number of systems had been damaged, with nearly a 3rd of our armament where no longer functional until repairs had taken place, meanwhile there were high amounts of radiation being reported throw-out the ship, which in itself wasn't harmful to us but we had to ensure that vital systems where shielded against it.

Kronos system
3 hours after engagment near Kronos

Helvegarius Androlaris looked through the holo screens at what was the warp, the strange alternate dimension that they used to traverse the void. He stood there his hands behind his back, proudly in his white golden armor marking him as a Rear Admiral. Helvegarius Androlaris was a Taung that had seen much, he was old yet still stood at a height of 260 cm he was tall always had been, he had fought in the swarm wars and it seemed to him at least that they were soon to enter conflict with what might be a Swarm successor. His golden eyes turned towards a holographic display, it showed the current status of the 7th Frontier group and its 6 heavy cruisers, 2 dreadnoughts,7 Battle-Cruisers, 2 carriers, 23 Frigates. He stood to abord the EEFS Coraxius a Dreadnought and a powerful one and he had ordered the entire group to be ready to engage the enemy the moment they dropped out of the warp. They had been closer than central command through and had made full speed towards Kronos the goal of securing the system and eradicating the possible Swarm infestation.

It was within 10 minutes of him getting the sign that all the ships were ready for battle after all the fighters were ready to launch, drop ships ready to deploy, drop pods ready to drop, frigates ready to spread out, and the carriers and their groups ready to deploy their fighters and onboard corvettes. That the 7th frontier group exited the warm and at that moment the scans tapped into the data network and gathered immediately all the data that all Inwitt assets had gathered upon the enemy. They had dropped near the planet of Kronos yet on the other side of the planet than the strange invaders. This was done with a simple intention and as planned two wolfpacks, 4 frigates reached began to move away from the fleet and enter into the warp for a small micro-jump to start attacking the ships in the outer systems. While the carriers remained behind with their escorts and had deployed their onboard frigates. Thus the forces that remained were the Cruisers, Dreadnoughts, and Battle-Cruisers that now would begin approaching the unknown forces on the other side of the planet. Thus while those forces numbering in total some 15 heavily armed warships supported by 8 frigates and heavy bomber escorts, these ships all designed after the swarm wars were heavily shielded had extensive and advanced point defense system consisting of electrochemically fired heavy repeater bolter point defense systems a grid of missile defense systems amongst others. While in total the force that was now approaching the unknown Xenos threat in typical Inwitt fashion carried enough firepower to flatten entire continents in mere minutes.

While the smaller group of 23 warships began to move towards the unknown threat from the Bastion class battle carrier dozens of dropships began to be deployed towards Kronos itself. These dropships were medium-sized and in total carried 3400 crusader marines heavily armed and supported by their heavy wear suits and combat walkers and tanks this force was not meant to recapture the planet but rather to conduct a pointed assault towards the largest force of enemies detected.

Whatever the result was of what was to come one thing remained very clear that the Enclaves would not let Xenos roam free inside their borders or book any threat from them. Whoever had attacked was about to face the wrath of a battle group, a formation that had been responsible for the extermination of entire systems during the swarm wars.

Most of the Cylon forces had withdrawn to safe zone Z-23 waiting for the withdraw signal or the main arrival of Inwitt forces. My ship and two other Basestars continued to rain down weapons fire and nuclear warheads on the planet. All in all the attack was going well though the small force that we had fought a few hours ago hadnt returned and had remained on the outer edge of the system. No doubt waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

I decided that it time to signal the main fleet withdrawal "To all vessels baring Basestar 24 and 14 are to leave the system." the coms board lit up with the acknowledgement signal and then they began to leave the system. it was then that the Raiders on the other side of the planet reported that a large force had entered the system.

"All ships begin to move the edge of the system and prepare to make the jump to hyperspace once we are able. Assume defensive pattern Alpha 2, all Fighters to provide additional defence support to the Basestars. Cylon ground forces are to engage, Jungle protocol 23 until further notice." Again the coms board lit up with the acknowledgement of the orders. I knew the next hour would be quite telling, if we could hold out that long we could leave the system. If not then at least we had done our duty for the Cylon Empire.

Please be advised that the current Role Play setting has been concluded on Discord. We might be looking to set up a new one in due course
