Subject: DEATH TO THE ASVS COUNCIL! - or - Sheppard's Return!
Newsgroups: alt.startrek.vs.starwars
Date: 2000/10/07
[ASVS Airfield - 0330 hours - October 7, 2000 EDT]
The bored ASVS guard sat back in his unheated guard shack at the
entrance to the 12th ASVS Air Superiority Squadron's base in
Ithaca, NY. The nights were beginning to get noticeably chillier,
so the guard turned on the small space heater in the back of the shack,
and after looking around, did what he did almost every night.
Pulling out a portable DVD player with a built-in LCD screen, the
guard started it, and the moans and grunts of a Porno flick filled
the small shack.
So engrossed by the 'drama' unfolding before him on the tiny 3" screen,
the guard failed to notice the flickering orange flames just on the
horizon.
Moments later, all 12 of the ex-RAF Tornado Gr. I strike aircraft from
BG-32, flying at extreme low-level, burst over the hills surrounding
the base. Bombs began falling in the inky black night, shattering the
stillness of the night with rending explosions.
Within minutes, the 42 F-15C Eagle fighters parked at the base were no
more than smoking rubble heaps on the ground. All over the eastern US,
this scene was repeated over and over, with ASVS bases coming under
surprise attack by unidentified attackers.
[On cruise ships off the Florida coast]
{sound of millions of penguins squeaking}
Countless penguins received the 'go' signal through
their combat borg implants, and targeting gear swung
out over their eyes (think Batman Returns here).
Seconds later, the entire Floridian seaside lit up with the harsh
white glare of millions of PRLIs (Penguin Rocket Launcher Infantry)
firing their missiles.
Now with their path to the Florida beaches lit by the fires of
countless burning targets, the penguins of the 2rd Antarctica
Infantry regiment plunged off the ships into the warm waters of the
Caribbean, swimming furiously for the Florida coast.
Lord Edam had returned from his self-imposed exile in Antarctica.
[The Sonnenburg Residence]
Chuck awoke to the sounds of something other than the sounds of
Borg infants squealing for new assimilees. Walking sleepily eyed
to the front door, Sonnenberg's sleep-addled brain barely had time to
register the sight of the door splintering into toothpicks, with a
massively pumped-up BoydClone doing the splintering.
The last thing Chuck saw was a meaty fist swinging straight at his
head, then stars, and then nothing.
[Several Hours Later]
Chuck slowly woke up to the strong smell of brine and seafood. His
vision clearing, he found himself in a well-lit room in a small cage
suspended over what appeared to be a giant 1 million gallon salt water
tank.
A voice spoke out. Looking towards where the voice had come from,
he found someone he hadn't expected to see again - at least, not
for a while.
"Sheppard!" he gasped.
In front of him swam Mark Sheppard, the iridescent scales on his tail
glinting in the glare of the overhead lights. Upon seeing that Chuck
was now conscious, he stopped swimming around, and stared right at him.
"What's the meaning of this Sheppard! I have some *real* hungry kiddies
to take care of! If they're not fed soon, you can kiss the state goodbye!"
"We're not interested with your kids for the moment, Chuck. What we
*are* interested in is this: The deplorable state of affairs you and
the others have left for me to catch up on!"
Sheppard then hauled himself up onto a small rocky ledge, his
tail twitching involuntarily as he read off a small waterproofed
Palm IIIc.
"Since December 5th, 1999, you, Charles Sonnenburg, have written
577 kilobytes of fanfiction in just ONE fanfic; SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT!
You have flooded the ASVS universe with what is deemed to be an
unacceptable number of fanfic for me to deal with!"
Suddenly, Sonnenburg was getting worried. Sure, Sheppard was a bit
weird at times, but ever since he'd gotten out, he'd taken a tilt
to the disturbing. He began to sweat hard, despite the cool 67-degree
air.
"While I was in Jail, my brother sent me "Lt. Hit-Man Joins the Federation."
It's provided a great source of inspiration for me, Chuck. That cage you're
sitting in is what I like to call THE CAGE OF RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOR, in the
same vein as the good old STOOL OF RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOR!"
Now Chuck was really sweating, as he watched the now clearly-demented
merman lay out the stretches of his evil plan.
"THE CAGE OF RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOR is basically an improved STOOL OF RIGHTEOUS
BEHAVIOR. It now delivers a 100,000 volt shock instead of a 50,000 volt
one.
It's capacitors have also been improved to facilitate repeated full-power
shocks over a extended duration of time. Basically, this little baby will
deliver
100,000 volts a second for a duration comparable to the length of fanfic
you
have written after December 5th, 1999."
The sweat was now streaming down Chuck's face in rivers.
"Simply put, my dear Chuck, for each kilobyte of fanfiction the victim
has written since December 5th, 1999, the CAGE OF RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOR delivers
a 10 second shock. In your case, that would come out overall to be..."
An evil grin then lit up Sheppard's features.
"About an hour-and-half of continuous 100,000 volt shocking!" Sheppard's
grin grew wider. "And that's just for SotN! I can't imagine what other
fanfictions you've written! Oh, and the CAGE OF RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOR has a
hardwired OS running Linux that automatically calculates your punishment
through an online link to the archive. It's been equipped with the latest
firewalls provided by BoydCo, Jonathan's global conglomerate, which is now
assisting me with my revenge on ASVS for the changes wrought on ASVS
during my... absence."
The man/fish began to laugh maniacally as the first shocks coursed through
THE CAGE OF RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOR's capacitors.
Sonnenburg began to scream.
At that moment, Sheppard's Ultimatum To ASVS began to course across the
internet, gathering supporters as it went.
http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/mksheppard/ultimatum.htm
Over the next few days, as more and more ASVS members joined Sonnenberg
in
their own CAGES OF RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOR, the SEATO forces continued to drive
on
relentlessly, advancing as much as 150 miles a day.

I hereby announce that the Disciples of Wong will
join forces with
SEATO to cleanse ASVS of all influences deemed inappropriate by SEATO
in exchange for full immunity from prosecution on matters of overly
long fanfictions!
The DoW Lassh Panzer Second Corps is already mobilized for offensive
operations into Canada as required.
We are mobilizing the Tenth Motor Guards Corps and the Sixth Panzer
Division and volunteer cavalry support as an emergency measure...
Offensive operations ready to begin within two days.
The Airforce of the Disciples of Wong has been notified and we can
offer two full Air Armies to support the Boydwaffe as necessary.
Fuel Cell powered U-Boats striking from underground tunnels leading
out of Lake Champlain have already been dispatched for offensive
operations against shipping in the Great Lakes.
Finally, our strategic ICBMs tipped with Eclipse-I Threads, and our
tactical IRBMs tipped with Eclipse-II threads, are both ready for use
as needed; If Kynes takes refuge in NORAD in Colorado, we can pummel it
down with weapons of mass destruction!
Heil Wong! Support his most glorious ally, Mark Sheppard!
All Disciples of Wong... Man your tanks! Wong Lives! Attack in support
of our allies! Rise up and attack!

I'm pleased to report that our first units have already
arrived on the
Colorado perimeter thanks to the rapid air transport provided by SSTs;
Unfortunately, only light tanks and small Infantry Fighting Vehicles
could be deployed, and casualties have been suffered while fighting
what appear to be US Army Units under the control of the corrupt ASVS
council.
Fortunately, the fanatical bravery of members of the Disciples of
Wong has triumphed, as proven by this photo recently taken of a section
of our forces advanced despite the loss of all our IFVs!:
http://hometown.aol.com/majsvetlanna/myhomepage/photo.html
This is so recent I even had to use AOL to put it up!
Despite heavy casualties, as you can see, the Disciples of Wong are
fanatically brave and will continue to advance until all objectives are
met, no matter the cost.

Yet another report from the stunning Blitzkrieg of
the Disciples of
Wong:
Greeley, Colorado has been captured!
A junction of several roads and railroads, Greeley Colorado fell to
the Disciples of Wong after brief but intense fighting, providing a
staging area for the mass airlifting of major DoW military elements
into Colorado from Upstate New York to continue the fight against the
ASVS Council.
Despite a lack of any promise as of yet, Chancellor Sheppard, I
believe that you will find the sincerity of the cause of the Disciples
of Wong to be a pure and good one; And we also have the most powerful
Weapons of Mass Destruction on Usenet.
Though, as Chris pointed out, Fist of the Empire is the longest
Fanfiction, it is also one that features you as Chancellor of the
United Human Confederacy of Earth, effective Caesar of the former UFP,
and Imperial ally!
Quality and quantity combined.
Needless to say, I believe in your good graces and hence have thrown
my forces into a swift blitzkrieg strike to prepare for full scale
assistance of your continuing assault on Colorado. Supersonic
Transports continue to haul light craft into the area, and our main
transports are prepping now.
Here's a scene from the valiant occupation of Greeley by the hard-
fighting Panzer crewers of the Disciples of Wong:
http://hometown.aol.com/lusankyan/myhomepage/photo.html
Once again, the photo is so recent I had to use AOL for speed.
Let the Blitzkrieg continue!

Ya know I am still trying to get my head wrapped around
all of the things
you put forward in that section of the fic. Replicators giving drugs. The
Federation using REAL weapons. Section 31 being a neo-communist subversive
force. Weird....

In a darkened room a tall man sat hunched over before a computer, his
features eerily lit by the glow from the monitor. 'Overlong
fanfiction?', He murmured in the dark.
He ventured a quick glance at the folder where his fanfic was stored
and made a quick estimate of the total storage space required.
*gulp*
Was it too late to evacuate? Would he be able to somehow earn amnesty?
How long to power up the hyperdrive? How long to calculate a
trans-galactic jump? Was the galaxy big enough to hide in? The figure
sat frozen for precious seconds as ideas formed and were discarded.
Suddenly there was a loud crash on the door to the room.

Two Disciples of Wong burst in with stun guns and
fired. That was over
in a moment. The matter of removing one Michael January was also
relatively easy when unconscious. He had somewhere to go.
*Two hours later off Cape Town.*
"Velkommen.."
"Shut up, Kruger."
She watched the fellow super-sized fanfiction writer awaken. This was
a potentially precarious situation, so she hadn't bothered to wait;
Just to act.
"Hello, Michael. We're onboard the six hundred and ten meter long
Submersible Aircraft Carrier Kanos, diving deep and heading away from
Afrika at Sixty eight knots."
She stepped closer and offered him a hand up. "Sorry about the method;
You're not a prisoner. We just wanted someplace secure for you...
Galaxy of War being an overly long fanfiction, after all. We think
Sheppard will deal with the Disciples of Wong fairly; After all, we're
people after his own heart. However, it's nice to have a mobile command
center.. and backup. Sheppard, of course, is an Amphibian, but I've
concluded treaties with the Lemurians and Selkies a long time ago,
anyway, and his people are nominally allied with them... Have been for
millennia. He'll deal with us. In any case, to further cement a possible
alliance by showing the support of the Disciples of Wong to Sheppard,
we're going to conduct an Amphibious landing somewhere, rather shortly.
Oh.. Michael.." She grinned, lightly. "You are a Disciple of Wong,
right?"

Latest Update:
The Second Panzer Corps is fully mobilized and moving to Colorado to
support our emergency reaction forces. Mobilization of other units
proceeding as scheduled.
Special operations unit of classified type engaging in operations in
Indian/Pacific Oceans Naval Theatres.
The Dimensional Physics Unit has also received marching orders, so to
speak. If the Council tries to fight back, they may have more than just
Eclipse-Threads to deal with (Hopefully, if we use those, a current
plan will insure that they are Eliminium laden.)
The ASVS Council cannot hold. Victory is assured.

MIDNIGHT
NEPAL
A herd of mountain goats bleated faintly in the distance. A dark shape
slowly made its way up the mountain-side. Reaching a ledge, it stopped
for a moment, gathering its gear.
Pablo checked the charge on his E-11, confirming 100% charge. His
hazard suit checked out as well, with grey and white mountain
camouflage rather than the conspicuous orange. He inserted a piton
into the barrel of the E-11, and fired. The spike cut into the stone,
and Pablo began to draw himself up. As he reached the top of a ridge,
he peeked over. Yes, that was it. Pulling himself over the rocky
wall, he easily dropped the five meters to the ground below.
He was on a large plateau, at least a square mile in size. A few
hundred yards away lay a fearsome sight. At an isolated launch
facility in the Himalayas, the full might of the strategic Eclipse-II
ICBM force was ready to lay waste to the enemies of SEATO.
Unfortunately, Thelea had forgotten that some members of the DoW had
allegiances to those other than her.
Pablo jogged across the plateau, making nary a sound. After a minute,
he had reached the outer limits of the base, just outside the bright
lights. He ducked behind a large boulder and waited. Footsteps
soon
sounded on the rocky path. As the DoW guard passed, Pablo lashed out
with his vibro-blade. Pablo reached out and grabbed the man's head
before it hit the ground.
Pablo triggered his encrypted comm. transmitter. "Okay boys, hit it."
"We will comply. Flesh for power!"
At the other side of the plateau, flashes of blaster fire erupted.
It
felt somewhat strange to be fighting his former comrades, but war made
strange bedfellows. A half mile away, the battle was going quite badly
for the DoW. They had the numbers, and were experienced enough, but
they had not met these enemies in battle before. Dozens of 2 meter
tall droids, sporting high-powered blasters and terrifying chest
orifices, plowed into the guards and turrets with reckless abandon.
Pablo's suit intercepted the DoW transmissions, and decrypted them with
his captured codes. "Wong! Those droids are EATING the men!"
Pablo chuckled. The death droids he had constructed were specifically
designed to have a severely demoralizing effect. Besides normal power
cells, they could also metabolize organic matter for added juice.
With
the addition of Phrik cast into their depleted uranium plating, they
were a terrifyingly effective force against blasters and standard
projectile weaponry.
"But once the heavy guns get to bear," Pablo thought as one of the
robots exploded into flames under the fire of a heavy laser
emplacement, "they're toasted."
No more time to waste. All the attention of the base was directed
towards the droids, and Pablo sprinted through a blast door as it
slowly closed. Once inside, he smiled. It was all over.
He made his
way down the service stairway, 20 floors down.
--==--
"That's the last of those abominations? Excellent!" Said Lieutenant
Cothron. "The Commander will be pleased!"
A voice came from the doorway. "I think not."
Cothron spun, drawing his blaster. A burst of red light lanced into
his center of mass, slamming him to the ground before it even cleared
halfway.
Pablo stepped into the room, covering the remaining command staff.
He
switched his weapon over to stun. He coolly marched through, putting
a
blast apiece into each of the ten men. When he finished, he sat down
at the missile control console. He grinned as he typed in the commands.
--==--
4 AM
Far above the Earth, the full moon hovered. But it was not the full
moon of four hours ago. Carved into the surface of the satellite by
the fury of the Eclipse-II missiles were two acronyms: ASVS FAQ
"None of that for you, Commander."

A small Lambda class shuttle approached. "Figures",
said Transcend, "the
moment MKSheppard returns to the cleaners all hell breaks loose." He watched
the retched devastation as the shuttle completed it's landing cycle. Burning
bodies were everywhere. In the distance he spotted what he was sure was
LT..
Hit-Man slicing into Paul Jacques with his lightsaber. "Well at least it's
not a total loss", he said. The shuttle's hatch opened, Transcend sighed
as
he stepped aboard the ship. This was going to be bad. "Take us up," he said,
"the Vader's Fist awaits." The shuttle took off, flying over the devastation
that was ASVS. "Well, at least he knows how to make an entrance", he said
as
the ship headed above the clouds and ultimately to orbit.
<a few minutes later in the docking bay of the Vader's Fist>
As the shuttle entered the bay the command crew stood immediately at
attention. The shuttle slowed to a stop and the lower hatch slowly opened.
The crew was quite nervous, they had heard the news reports of the fighting
below, who knows what the commander had in mind. An escort group of
stormtroopers exited the shuttle first, taking up positions at the sides.
Commander Transcend emerged, the ship's Captain approached and asked for
orders (an oddity on any other Imperial vessel, but this was Transcend's
ship, a present from Vader himself, and therefore under his direct command).
"The situation has gone too far on the surface, Sheppard has returned and
brought with him considerable devastation, of course it's only the
beginning.", said the Commander, "Begin orbital bombardment." "But Sir",
the
Captain said, "our allies are down there, and resources which we have
developed after all this time, a bombardment would be foolish!" Transcend
glared at the ship's Captain. The Captain began feeling a pressure on his
throat, a pressure that began cutting off his air. Suddenly the pressure
released, and Commander Transcend told the Captain, "You will carry out
my
orders, blast them to dust and let the force sort them out." The Commander
then dispensed with the customary inspection of the troops, and went
directly for his quarters. "Bridge this is the Captain", he said, "begin
orbital bombardment." And a thousand voices cried out in terror...

"We have incoming orbital bombardment from a ship...
One regiment of
Sheppard's forces have been annihilated by the initial barrage!"
"Activate missile launchers... Full Anti-Matter missile spread, and
then dive deep and engage the stealth system!"
The Kanos dove underwater as hundreds of Matter/Anti-Matter missiles
were launched from the submersible carrier, boosting into orbit and
using their own thrusters for evasive maneuvers to minimize losses to
CIWS. Incoming, the massive spread of missiles overwhelmed the shields
of the Vader's Fist and pounded it into space dust.
On the bridge of the Kanos, Thelea smiled. "Inform Sheppard that we've
just saved his ass. I believe he can't ignore that... We stopped the
orbital bombardment attempt cold."
"Of course... We'll need some help next time. Inform his Lordship to

The captain watched as several warheads exploded around
the decoy. The
modified Decoy Beam had been a work of art, a prototype installed only on
this ship. As the warheads exploded he dropped the projector field, which
made a nearby asteroid look like the Vader's Fist. He laughed as the foolish
people below actually tried targeting the ship with the most advanced
sensor stealth system short of a cloaking device. "Comscan, Identify the
source of the attack," he said.
The officer at the comscan station went to work, after a few moments
quickly pinpointing the attackers. It was some sort of submersible vehicle,
interesting. "Take us into the atmosphere on my mark, then lock tractor
beams on the sub and fire a full battery of ion canons to
disable... mark", said the Captain. He went to the comlink to inform
Commander Transcend of the situation. The orders quickly came back, capture
the ship as planned then head for hyperspace with it in tow as soon as
possible. The captain watched as the ship was drawn from the waters, and
quickly disabled with ion canons. "Helm, take us to orbit and begin to jump
to hyperspace.", the Captain ordered. Slowly they withdrew, the only thing
anyone would see on their sensors if they looked, would be one strange craft
heading to orbit. All was proceeding as the Commander had foreseen.

"Protoculture Reactors running at full power?"
"Roger that, Commander. Ion Cannons are no match for Reflex Power!"
Thelea clasped her hands together. "Very well, then. We've diverted
them from Earth. Let's show them what the Kanos really is."
An officer in CnC turned to her. "Shouldn't we ask for his Lordship's
assistance?"
"Not yet, Lieutenant, I want to give them a false sense of security."
The man nodded.
"They're almost to the edge of the grav-well." reported another LT.
"Excellent.. Snatch victory from them. Hull conforming Space-Fold..
Initiate!"
The Kanos abruptly began glowing a bright white and vanished utterly
from the Sol system. Hull conformal space fold on Protoculture. The
idea of it being purely a submersible aircraft carrier was just an
illusion.
They were safe.. Until it was time for the counterstrike.
"Get me Lord Khyron. There's bound to be more space attacks on
Sheppard's forces, and we have to cover them."

Suddenly, without warning, hundreds of Boyd ISDs dropped
out of hyperspace, and opened up with their
main batteries.
The _Vaders' Fist_ shuddered under the onslaught of hundreds upon hundreds
of Heavy tubolasers striking
it in massed formation. Whole sections of the _Fist_ melted and flashed
into vapor, annihilating tens of thousands
of crewers almost instantly.
In the middle of all of this, the _Kanos_ fell from the docking bay due
to the tractor beams being cut off, and into a
decaying orbit around Earth.
A Boyd ISD scooped the _Kanos_ up before it could burn-up in the atmosphere,
and slowly redeposited the _Kanos_
in the Atlantic ocean,
In orbit, Boyd ISDs blew in actinic flares of light as their shields were
overwhelemed by the _Vader's Fist_, but there were
too many ISDs manned by Boyd clones attacking, and within minutes, the main
reactor on the _Fist_ overloaded and
blew under sustained fire, annihilating the massive craft completely, as
well as a dozen or so Boyd ISDs utterly.
(what's the diff? They're all clones :-) )
Meanwhile back on Earth, dozens of tiny Sirensha underwater fightercraft
surrounded the _Kanos_.
"Sir, transmission incoming......it's from Sheppard!"
"Get down, Mike!" Thelea shouted, shoving January to the deck plates, not
a moment too soon,
for at the moment Mike's nose smashed into the cold steel of the deck, the
main screen flickered to
life, with Shepard's visage on it. From the speakers came high-pitched squeaking
noises.
Thela responded with equally high-pitched noises of her own.
<translated from Sirensha>
"You have done well, my dear Thelea. Hmmm..You seem to be a new addition
to ASVS since I was...disposed of.
Shall we meet and finalize the plans for our alliance over dinner at 'Le
Pechard'?" asked the merman in his races'
peculiar dolphin-like language.
"I look forward to meeting you, Mark." Thelea replied in the same language.
"By the way, I *really* am looking forward to reading FOTE - Replicators
with drugs....hmmm...I had been thinking
of using drugs in Imperial Phoenix while I was in the can (as a plot device
against the Feds, not for personal use).
Great minds *do* think alike!" with that, he smiled a dazzing 1,000-watt
smile.
With that, the screen flashed to black, and January slowly extracted himself
from the cold deckplating.
"Thanks....I think, Thelea." replied January.
"Don't worry about it." replied Thelea.

She cast glowing red eyes along the engineers. They got to testing.
Fast.
Next, though.. The communications screen activated, and she looked up.
She hated life size holograms... When the person she was talking to was
that big. "Lord Khyron. It seems Imperator class Star Destroyers have
dealt with the initial threat." The Zentraedi cringed. "We want action,
here, not merely sitting around... I only have so much patience, even
those who saved me from death by teleportation with enough time to
savour my final victory over the SDF-1!"
"I expect as much. But the exact nature of the forces must be kept
secret. The monitor is ready?"
"As it will ever be, Thelea. Azonia has direct command of the Monitor."
"Good. This situation is largely under control on Earth...
Unfourtunately, or maybe fourtunately, all things considered, we're
going to have to dive under the arctic ice cap to get to it....
Actually, yes, that is fourtunate. Standby, Lord Khyron, we may have

The hologram vanished abruptly. "Course for.. Long Beach, Washington.
Ready the armoured division for dis-embarkment!" And so Thelea ordered,
and so it was done.
Then she turned back to Mike. "Don't worry, really. I'll see about
transferring you to the Monitor.. If you don't mind the Zentraedi, that
is."

She'd left the Captain of the Kanos back with his
rightful command,
assisted by Mike January, who, though a brilliant ISD command, hadn't
piloted a 610 meter long submersible aircraft carrier under the
northern polar icecap before.
Now it was time to plan. The Chiss noble, force sensitive, at that,
though she had traded in most of the dark side powers for something far
better, a long time ago, sat in her study, as the sounds of Gustav
Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War" washed over her.
The Disciples of Wong were appropriately mobilized; This next strike
would be virtually cleanup, but one could never know what the
illigitamate great grandson of Iosef Stalin could conjure up in his
insane plans for communist domination of the world. He had to
eliminated next, Red Guards or not.
Khyron could keep his cool, as could the rest of the Zentraedi she had
saved from "civilization" and micronization. The fleet of vessels,
repowered with protoculture and retrofitted to include Imperial-grade
shielding and weaponry from secondary hypermatter reactors.. Awaited..
Along with the central ship, and the secret weapon it contained.
She had her alliance, and she would prove not to be an opprotunist but
rather an idealist, in protecting January, whom she thought worthy.
So.. What remained was rather a matter of what to wear to dinner....
Or, more appropriately, what a Chiss noble should wear to dinner.
Admittedly... Flesh was a transient thing for her.. After a fashion.
Such was the way of the other part of the blend of what she was.. The
Vicissitude of the Clan Tzimisce. Taking on human skin tone and eyes
would be rather boring.. And unexpected. She would stay as she was.
No... The matter that remained now was a possible, even probable
counterstrike. The Death Commandos that Liet Kynes could potentially
rally were the greatest threat to the Sheppard-Boyd-DoW alliance, but
the question is... Would he?
She thought not.
The other matter was Edam... But that Lord would be content with his
lot. They could remain allies of convenience for the moment.
Everything was going very well, indeed. Blitzkrieg in it's finest.
Soon the world would be as it should be.. As she had been fighting for
it to be ever since arriving in an ASVS torn asunder by the chaos of
the great Sheppard's disappearence.
And Holst was such a wonderful composer to contemplate galactic
domination to. She simply loved the strains of Mars, Bringer of War.
Appropriate for everything from Barbarossa to Boydarossa. She chuckled
softly, at that, and started to check through her wardrobe.

"Myself, of course."
"Unlike the others.. Though.. Fist of the Empire is uniquely suited
for your tastes. It can't be longer than Tom Clancy's "The Bear and the

A light smile. "At the moment, I do believe I count myself far more

Transcend sat back and wondered when these fools would
ever learn. He
watched as the Boyd ISDs fired barrage after barrage at yet another illusion
generated by decoy beam/prjector field combination. All wasn't well however,
the strange underwater craft had dissappeared. "No matter", he thought,
"nothing can match the power of the Dark Side, they would all see."
"Captain", he ordered, "you may engage hyperdrive when ready, now that they
believe us destroyed." The ship reached the edge of the gravity well, and
made the jump to hyperspace, and safety. The Boyd clones would pay though
for attacking the Fist, but then the Boyd Collective was never known for
it's intelligence.

Actually, I was referring to Long Beach Washington,
which is a beach
around 140 miles long, if I recall, on the coast of Washington State...
For an armoured division that can be disembarked, there are good roads
in the area.. Well withing striking range of central headquarters of
the illigitamate great grandson of Iosef Stalin and his Red Guards. And
let's just see if he can seriously defend a hundred and fourty miles of
coastline from the Kanos' firepower before a beach-head assault.

Suddenly, without warning, Transcend screamed an ear-shattering,
soul-destroying shriek
as he was suddenly and violently mindwiped by the combined efforts of the
Sirensha,
leaving only the equivalent of Windows 95 with Office 2000 in his mind,
all others
utterly formatted to the point of no return.
All around the bridge of the _Vader's Fist_, crewers looked at the spectacle
of their
commanding officer twitching on the floor, a trail of drool running from
his mouth, screaming
"Abort/Retry/Fail!" over and over and over..........................

Transcend's mind however, was not as destroyed as
it seemed. His strong
connection to the Dark Side had enabled him to link his soul to a nearby
droid. After the attack on his body had ended, and as it was a soulless
vessel, he refilled it with his soul, pushing out the garbage left behind
from the telepathic attack. His death had only served to fuel his fury,
he
felt the Dark Side of the Force as never before, truely understanding it's
power beyond even what the Emperor himself had achieved, power that made
him
beyond even death, beyond destruction.Transcend smiled, it was time to thank
the fools who had thought to destroy him. After shielding himself from any
possible future telepathic or force attack Transcend called forth a powerful
force storm, the likes of which had never been seen before. With a slight
push of his newfound power he sent the storm through hyperspace to it's
target, soon all the Sirensha had become extinct. They all learned
the
POWER of the Dark Side.

Studying the message from Thelea, the dim glow of
an ECM-hardened
computer screen faintly illuminated Doomriser's face. He looked around
his combat bunker, buried deep in the rock of the Canadian shield. He
would have to engage in communications with Dice, Strowbirdge and
perhaps even Wong to stop this potential invasion by extremist
supporters of Wong, so fanatic that Wong could not possibly claim ties
with and instead dismiss as renegade supporters. But first, he had to
consolidate his power.
Doomriser flipped up a glass shield and applied pressure to the button.
Yes, this would do it. This would give him total control of the
Canadian armed forces. What little of it. The slave controls activated,
and soon F-18 squadrons, Arrow interceptors, frigates, Leapord tanks,
and hidden BoMarc missiles became active units on Doomriser's screen.
He could take control of the electronicized monster that dominated
Canadian NATO forces, and simulate orders from generals and commanders,
not to mention the vehicles and weapons platforms himself. His special
prize, the only 12 AVRO Arrow All-weather interceptors, to go into
production, were hidden in large barns across Ontario. Fully automated,
easily capable of Mach 2.5, and armed completely with AA missiles, they
would be a nasty surprise to any air forces which tried to cross the
49th parallel.

HMCS Tribal - 0600 Hours
The captain of this Canadian destroyer Onandega was finishing training
exercises with SEATO forces. His ship was just leaving to meet up with
the Protecteur, when he noticed a massive course change in the British
fleet. They were heading straight for the United States!
"Captain," started the SONAR operator
"I know," stated the Captain, "something fishy is going on."
"We have new orders coming in," reported the communications officer.
The Captain read them as quickly as possible, something about mutiny of
Royal Navy forces. Well this had to be stopped!
Suddenly, a missile lock alarm began blaring throughout the bridge. Had
the message not arrived from Doomriser he might have hesitated.
"Target all British ships," he ordered, "fire all weapons!"
The fleet was too far away for guns, but the Penguin and Harpoon
missiles would do the trick, and they began rocketing away from the
heavily modified Tribal's weapons mounts. Not a moment too soon, two
Harpoon missile which had evaded the CIWS slammed into the destroyer,
rolling it significantly and sending it on a quick trip to the bottom
of the Atlantic.
The British Admiral on the cruiser Birmingham was shocked when his
weapons officer reported that the Canadians had managed to return fire!
In his haste to conquer US forces, Boyd had completely forgotten about
the Canadians, the Admiral reminisced, before a harpoon and two
penguins slammed into his ship.

Rage flowed though him, the destruction of those damn
telepaths was only the
beginning. Transcend found himself surging with more power then any Sith
who
ever lived, power which would soon be put to the test. After a few simple
tests with a few stormtroopers which had proven themselves failures,
Transcend discovered he had the power to manipulate hyperspace itself, quite
interesting.
The Captain looked on in shock and disbelief, he had seen Transcend
destroyed by a telepathic attack, and suddenly he was back, and with
incredible power. He watched as Transcend sent a powerful Force storm. He
watched as he "experimented" on a few crewers. Suddenly the ship jumped
into
hyperspace. "Helm", the captain called, "who gave you permission to make
a
hyperspace jump?" The helmsman replied that he had done no such thing, and
that the hyperdrive was totally inactive, this was impossible. He went over
to check the systems himself, it was true, they had just made a hyperspace
jump without using hyperdrive. A second later they dropped out of hyperspace
near Earth. The trip had taken seconds even though they were at least 20
minutes from Earth at best speed! He looked out the viewport and saw a large
fleet of ISD's, Boyd Collective ISD's. Transcend then screamed, "YOU WANNA
KRIFF WITH ME???!? YOU WANNA KRIFF WITH ME?????? YOU'VE KRIFFED WITH THE
WRONG KRIFFING PERSON!" The Captain noticed that the comm had been active,
he also noticed that every last ISD of the Boyd Collective was exploding.
"Now for some amusement", Transcend said, worrying the Captain. Suddenly
there were two people on his bridge who had not been their before. He
recognized them as Paul Jacques and Elim Garak, two infamous trolls. "Ah
Paul, time for the fate your were meant to meet, it is time for your destiny
to be fulfilled", Transcend said menacingly. He reached out with the force,
what the Captain saw next shocked him to the core...
Transcend let the power of the Dark Side FLOW through him into Paul. Bones
snapped, tendons realigned as the Force reshaped him. "One more thing, the
color", said Transcend. And Paul turned bright green. "HAHA now you really
ARE a frog, less intelligent though", Transcend stated. He was enjoying
himself quite well. "You!", he snapped at a nearby crewman, "See to it that
this THING is dumped, along with the rest of the garbage." The crewman took
Paul the Giant Frog away, who could only seem to say, "Ribbit!" Next he
turned towards Elim, there was something special planned for him. He again
reached out with the force, reshaping the living tissue, quite painfully,
that had been Elim. He stepped back to enjoy his work, but something wasn't
quite right......
Elim was in agony, his body changing into some unimaginable shape. He had
no
idea what Transcend was going to do, suddenly Transcend spoke. "No, not
quite right indeed", he said. Suddenly Elim was in agony again, and when
it
stopped, Elim was no longer male, but female. Transcend laughed and said,"Ah
the Baron is going to, ahem, just LOVE you HAHAHAHA!" Elim tried to speak
but all that came out was a weak, "baaaaaah" He was more scared now then
ever in his life....
Transcend was pleased, he looked down at Elim the sheep and chuckled. Now
to
give the Baron his present. The Force flowed through him again and in a
flash Elim was gone, transported through hyperspace to the Baron's sheep
ranch.
"One more thing to take care of", thought Transcend. In another flash of
light Lord Edam was before him. "Now to teach you the TRUE meaning of
Relativity!", he said as he flung Edam back into hyperspace to a point
just
outside the ship. He then accelerated Edam to
.999999999999999999999999999999....c enough time dilation for him to see
the
end of the universe before he runs out of air.
"That's enough, for now", Transcend said. Then the ship vanished again into
hyperspace.

[Cardiff University, South Wales, UK]
He sat in a corner of the a bar in the vast student union building, the
smoky atmosphere and the black clothes he wore meant that anyone who was
not
specifically looking for him would probably pass the young imperial by.
He
drained his pint and stood to get a new one but found his way blocked by
a
familiar shape. That of a Boyd Master.
"It is time" was all the psychic said.
Ryan Gordon or to use his real name Vir Rog was the Imperial Military
Executor (see the STGODs for more details), a man who held virtually
unlimited power in the Galactic Empire, a position which made him a very
powerful being even considering his government's (although currently
resurgent) diminished state. In the 24th century he had fought along
side
the Boyd collective and others to destroy Kynes, the Dice legions and the
6th Imperium.
Thanks to the Chaos god Slaanesh he was stuck in Earth's past with only
a
fraction of his military resources although 2 Tzeentch class battleships
each capable of destroying a world probably gave him the greatest navy of
this era. Many of the players were the same but as younger versions
of
themselves then they should not be able to recognise him that they could
was
a testament to their magical skills and of course the Boyd knew him anyway
(even if their psychics hadn't been able to glimpse the future the large
number of older type Boyd ships that had also been sent back would have
informed their present day counterparts that he was an ally).
Not wanting to mess up the timeline (and hoping to stay un-noticed until
Slaanesh saw fit to return him) his ships had done little except scout out
the area while Rog himself had took on a Terran name and enrolled at Cardiff
university to study History, everything had been quiet- until now that is.
With the Boyd allying themselves to Sheppard - a figure who had not been
sighted for many long decades in an attempt to overthrow the ASVS Council
the shadowy organisation that controlled many of the worlds governments.
Imperial installations that had been set up around the planet were brought
online to provide intelligence to the alliance forces while his warfleet
took up positions guarding the Sol system - they didn't carry too many
troops (only about 20,000 Storm commandos plus several armour divisions
and
a few repulsor (sea) battleships) but they were capable of keeping any enemy
ships entering the Sol system. Meanwhile on the planet his ground
forces
massed around the British isles while untold numbers of TIE squadrons gave
him global air supremacy. Now sitting in his armoured command bunker
Rog
though about what to do next.
"Hmm... maybe I could blackmail someone, Strowbridge will make a tempting
target"

"The one that was shot down?" asked Slobo, "Yes, I remember," sighed
Milosevich.
"Besides," chided Doomriser, "what have you got to lose?"
While Milosevic prepared his cruise missiles for launch against all

Fidel Castro's private phone. The videophone screen showed a
dissheveled Castro clumisily jogging to the terminal and wiping cigar

"Is it time, comrade?" asked Castro.
"Yes," replied Doomriser, "it's time."
As Doomriser's electronic map viewscreen refreshed ifself, the

Two torpedoes struck his carrier, providing a fierce and fiery answer

"Well, at least the Canadian defences are ready,"
thought Doomriser, as
he powered up the Cleaner X. The newly contsructed Cleaner X, a
monitor, was in an underground launch site, ready to fall under the
ownership of the Cleaners. But right now, it was under Doomriser's
control (and the Cleaners's hadn't paid for it yet-it was designed for
a contract among several competitors). It was currently under an all-
droid crew. Not the best for combat, but it would do for this simple
ferry mission.
As the massive thundering gates opened above the stronghold, and the
Cleaner X began to rise from the surface, Doomriser signalled his Star
Control fleet to be ready to come out of quasispace at a moment's
notice. One ship from each race, including the Precursor battleship,
was poised near a hole in the fabric of space, which exited near Earth.
Easily breaking through orbital blockades, the Cleaner X, possessing an
Imperial gravimetric cloaking devices slipped through the prearranged
co-ordinates into the wormhole. The real battle for space supremacy was
about to begin.

The trolls stood over Dalton for a brief moment, slobbering
and mumbling
evil things.
Behind them a shadow started to move on the wall, it grew as it travelled
on
to the floor.
It stopped under the feet of the two trolls, and doubled in size.
Suddenly
it spread onto the trolls themselves, devouring them in inky darkness.
All
they could do is scream in terror and agony...
and then the shadow was gone.
Dalton got to his feet, still shaking. He was safe for now, and he
hoped he
would remain so.
Then Dalton noticed a small note attached to the wall. He walked over
and cautiously opened it and read its contents. It said: "Hey Dalton,
sorry I couldn't stick around, kinda busy at the moment. Oh, BTW,
Talya told me to say hi to you for her. Later. -AC"

Transcend found it was so easy to manipulate Sheppard's
dreams while he
slept. He even thought it amuzing to switch Elim's part, of being changed
into a sheep, with Edam's part of being accelerated to extreme reletavistic
velocity. Then he had enough and decided to wake the poor bastard, so he
would know what REAL trouble he was in. Before him was Raven Ford and Ryan
Spickard, in full bondage gear, having wild sex with Janeway. After seeing
this horrible sight, he tried to speak, but the only sound he could make
was, "Moo!" Then in a flash of light Sheppard found himself in Dalton's
bedroom, and truely felt the horrors of the Dark Side of the Force.

Transcend, returned from his duties elsewhere, looked
over the devistation.
The ISD's he had personally destroyed were still there, all flaming wrecks.
A small fleet of insignificant ships were in orbit although they seemed
to
be commanded by an Eclipse-class command ship. He was about to reach
out
and destroy them when he sensed that they were allies protecting the FAQ,
very well, he would let them live. His attention turned to the surface,
he
sensed clones, alot of them. How the hell had Boyd managed to get the clones
to the surface, he had destroyed the invasion fleet himself? No matter,
opening up a channel through hyperspace using the force he transported
himself down to the planet. "By the Force!", he cried, "they are assaulting
the FAQ, I didn't think such an attack was possible!" Reaching through the
force he generated yet another Force Storm, ravenging the Boyd clones that
were everywhere. This was no Force Storm, more like a Force Hurricane, with
Transcend at it's eye. He moved through the troops slaughtering them by
the
thousands. He saw hovertanks and armored vehicles moving in, and battle
droids sent by some unknown foe supporting the invasion. Reaching out with
the force he ripped through the armored divisions until none was left
active. He blasted through the battle and destroyer droids with ease as
the
Dark Side flowed though him. Transcend look up, seeing the support ships
comming in from the Fist. As they landed he approched the transports, they
opened to show a legion of Stormtroopers led by his elite squadron of Sith
trained warriors. As 11 lightsabers came alive he said, "Your orders on
the
survivors are clear. Wipe them out, all of them." He hyperspaced back to
his
orbiting ship, to keep an eye on all the action below...

He floated high in the air as he surveyed the damage below him.
Giant craters where once there stood majestic mountains, a piece of The

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then let it out slowly.
The howling winds below slowed...then stopped entirely. For a brief
moment
time seems to stop.
Suddenly the winds started again, but they were different winds, they
swirled into the gaping craters below, growing dark with the debris they
carried. Inside the howling tempest, elements gathered and were reformed.
The holes in the earth filled, then the moutains themselves began to emerge.
The winds started to lessen, the lightning ceased, and below him he gazed
at
his work. It was as it had been before. Every rock, every tree, every
creature, every blade of grass was restored. No fallout remained,
no deadly
radiation to harm those who were restored. The Earth was healed.
He took another deep breath, enjoying the sweetness of the air as he looked
down onto the mountains and plains, seeing the people and animals going

Then he looked up into the sky. "...and now to take care of you" he wispered

"The Eclipse-IIs, all gone?"
"Confirmed, Commander."
Thelea nodded slowly. "Well, other than that, all we've had to deal
with are slander campaigns. Buddhist Monks and underwear models...
Gods. Alright. That's enough of that."
"I actually feel sorry for Sanchez... He doesn't understand Sheppard,
and he doesn't understand that this isn't against the FAQ, just against
the current rulers. However, he's initiated the use of Eclipse
weaponry. Eclipse-II weaponry."
"And we still have a full Eclipse-I arsenal in place."
"Exactly, lieutenant. Commence launches against major targets in
Yugoslavia, Cuba, unoccupied Canada, and Washington State of the USA."
And then she looked to the helmsman. "Bow planes up sixty degrees.
Stand by contra-gravity drives. We're going to crash through the Ice."
All over the world, signals were sent to the secret Eclipse-I bunkers,
and they began to launch.
Targets included unoccupied areas of Canada, a massive blanket
bombardment of Seattle, Washington, home of the Red Guards, and
numerous strategic sites in Yugoslavia and Cuba. Just to be sure, the
last remaining Eclipse-I missiles that were launched from their silos
were targeted in a series at NORAD. They were old. They were
unreliable. But they were still ECLIPSE, and they did the job.
When they did detonate over Seattle, the affect was totally
unforseeable; Actually destroying the production center for Eliminium
resulted in a yield so massive that much of the surrounding areas of
the state were obliterated. Oh well. They had no allies in Western
Washington, and it wasn't particuarly radioactive.
The affects without Eliminium were less devastating, but there were
alot of the old style missiles.
Even as this was happening, the Kanos broke through the ice and rose
straight up, uncontested as everyone was trying first to counter the
Eclipse-I missiles and the afteraffects.
The ships that folded in at that moment were Khyron's personal
squadron. The Kanos docked, of course, with the lead ship.
Communications were done between bridges by transmitter only.
"Thank you, Lord Khyron. Traitors brought it to this point. Fold
Immedietly. We shall wait with our space fleet, which is, of course,
purely Post-Holocaust Zentraedi and purely loyal.." She gained a small,
grim smile at that.
"And as for the ground units?" That distorted, massive voice asked.
"They can fight with Sheppard's forces, those who haven't defected.
Fold when you are ready, Lord Khyron."
The transmission was cut, and she glanced over the communications
officer. "Inform Sheppard that I can't be around... Coup De'etats are
dangerous things."
That transmission got off just before the squadron folded. The crew
manning the special physics project was perfectly loyal.. And where
they were going, pursuit was impossible. They got there near-instantly,
too. The Zentraedi fleet.
Of course, the Special Physics project packed it up and moved out in
cloak-ships immedietly. Dis-assembled, the equipment was worthless.
There were.. Other ways, once begun. That was enough for Thelea to
remain unconcerned... Internal dissention or not.

error. He owed the FAQ council a much higher debt of honor than he

At any rate, 90% of the DoW support infrastructure would be gone by
midday, leaving the troops in the field without supplies, and lacking
command. It was amazing what one could do with only a single VSD,
if
one had the time and the freedom to wield it. The _Julias Caesar_
would sweep across the planet, firing cleansing turbolasers until the
DoW bases melted and ran like water.
Pablo supposed that the second phase would be worst of all. It was
indeed a cruel and unusual measure, but he had to guard against
suffering the fate of Darth Transcend.
Across the globe, captured telepaths had been hooked up to vastly

Hmm. Looks like a pyrrhic victory for me.
The DoW is crippled, but
the DoW is... well, crippled. Anyway, I'm sure Sheppard will soon

Doomriser snickered to himself. Starting World War
3 had been an
excellent distraction while he had lifted his spacecraft past the
blockade and into the other dimension. Now he thought it was time for
an armed recon.
"Commander Kalgan," he ordered to the only human crewed vessel in the
fleet, "take your 'Cruiser', a Pkunk Fury, and a Shofix Scout into the
fray." Farrell nodded. "Your orders are to destroy any DoW forces in
the area, targeting flagships if possible. Try to get their allied
ships as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Send me a cloaked
robotic information packet through the wormhole."
Doomriser knew he was sending only corvette and frigate sized vessels
into battle, but there was no sense in deploying the main forces...yet.
The battleships and cruisers remained in formation, waiting to
intercept anyone who unluckily and stupidly blundered into the
wormhole. Pulse-gravity mines sat spinning, like giant insect webs.
***
Commander Kalgan and his small flotilla exited the portal in
hyperspace, and exited several light-minutes from Earth. As they
accelerated towards it, his Cruiser sent out a small robotic packet
with the strange sensor readings back to Doomriser.
Noticing the wreckage of what must have been an entire fleet of Star
Destroyers, most likely Boyd's, the ship knew to tread carefully. There
were several other unidentified ships in the area, and the flotilla
avoided them.
Kalgan had a scan operating in order to find Thelea's flagship.
In the mean-time, multi-terrawatt point-defense lasers jutted out from
the Earthling Cruiser, towards the Earth, and onto Lord Edam's
remaining supply ships, which had been scattered by submarine attack.
Kalgan regretted not being able to hit the TIE fighters which sensors
had picked up over the British Isles, but the intense jamming and
sensor interference from destroyed vessels made targeting locks
impossible on small fighters at that distance.
"Sir, look," reported the sensor officer, pointing at a spot in space
which had been magnified by the viewscreen. The fabric of space was
being altered ever so slightly in some areas. A cloaked fleet. The
Earthling Cruiser had been specially modified to detect this sort of
thing after encounters with the Ilwrath, who though now allied with
them, had used cloaked vessels against them in battle in the Slave Wars.
"Fire," ordered Kalgan. Two heavy thermonuclear missiles shot towards
the cloaked bogey, and detonated. The area of space lit up with the
profile of a ship, as nearly a gigaton of energy washed over its
shields. The Pkunk vessel closed in quickly to intercept, spraying it
with super-heated metal from its multiple rapid fire mass-drivers. This
was more than enough to overwhelm the Zentraedi's shields and pierce
its hull.
The Zenteadi erupted in a massive explosion as it the Pkunk finished
its strafing run. It's hypermatter reactor eventually succumbed to the
explosion as well, creating a massive shockwave that heavily damaged
and revealed the locations of two more Zentraedi vessels which were in
formation.
The desperate vessels opened fire on the Pkunk vessel, but not before
it could spray another volley into one of the stricken ships. It
exploded, nearly as quickly as the Pkunk did when hit by weaponry from
the other revealed Zentraedi. But, halleuluia, it re-incarnated, to the
horrifying surprise of the DoW vessel. The Pkunk opened fire and sent
the companion to Valhalla as well.
The Zentraedi fleet decided to come out of hiding, just then. They
easily destroyed the Pkunk ship, for good this time around. The
Zentraedi decided to pursue the Earthling Cruiser, but the Shofix raced
out to intercept. With incredible speed, it was essentially a flying
bomb with a large antimatter warhead strapped on to it. Evading enemy
fire, and taking minor hits, it managed to get close enough to the lead
Zentraedi, whereupon the flowery death was theirs, along with another
Zentraedi cruiser.
The other ships in pursuit rapidly slowed down, to avoid the two large
explosions in progress throughout the area. As they dissapated. Kalgan
sent two more nuclear missiles back to damage another Zentraedi ship,
and then dissapeared into hyperspace.
***
"Odd," thought Doomriser, reviewing the new data. Why did the moon
read "Phong is Neutral" in small pockmarks, and in larger print, "ASVS
FAQ"? What the hell was going on? What did this all mean? Soon
theintelligence would be disseminated, and Doomriser would make his
next move.

Transcend stormed the facility, the puny soldiers
of the U.S. Army stood no
chance against his force storms. He approached the command bunker and
calling upon the Force, ripped the 3 feet thick titanium steel doors from
the facility. He stepped into the command bunker. He now controlled the
majority of surface launched nuclear weapons, almost all of them were held
in silos in this single base, foolish Terrans. The systems were designed
to
require command codes, however he needed no such codes, he had the force.
Stretching out with the force he gained full control to launch. He then
keyed in the locations of all known DoW troops left on earth. A thousand
missiles roared into the sky, each carrying several MIRV'd warheads with
multi-gigaton yields. Transcend smiled as he watched the missiles disappear
into the sky, a true final act against DoW. The force was with him, as was
the FAQ.

"Still they do not listen..." the lone figure mused.
He stood up from his
chair, looking casually around his sanctum. In his mind he watched
as the
missiles flew on their paths, racing towards annihilation.
"You are trying my patience," he said as he stopped the missiles in mid
flight. The missiles hung silently in the upper atmosphere for a few
seconds, just enough time for people to take notice, then they were gone.
"I'll just hang on to those for safe keeping..."

"Come back here, we need to talk," Spickard said as
Darth Transcend was
gently teleported back.
Transcend looked around angrily, focusing on the being who brought him back
against his will. He felt his rage grow as he walked quickly closer
to
Spickard. Then he instinctively reached out with the Force to...but
it
wasn't there!
"I suggest you calm down before you hurt yourself..." Spickard said.
Transcend didn't listen as he tried to call upon the Force again, but still
nothing. He was cut off, powerless, and quickly becoming insane with anger.
"Chill dude, just take a few deep breaths. If you keep this up you're
going
to give yourself a heart attack or something. Here, have a brownie,"
Spickard said politely as a plate of brownies appeared in his hand.
He held
out the plate to Transcend. Darth Transcend felt confused for a second,
then he began to feel a strange calm come over him. Transcend slowly
reached out and picked up a brownie, looking it over with suspicion, then
cautiously took a bite. "Mmmmm, this is pretty good!" he noted with some
surprise in his voice as he continued to eat.
"There, now don't you feel better?" Spickard asked
Transcend thought for a moment, he did feel much better, relaxed, at peace.
He gave a slightly reluctant nod.
"Good. Now, I've been watching the current events out there," he gestured
slightly with his head, "and, if you don't mind me saying, it seems you've
started to change. I think its a change for the worse I'm afraid."
"What are you talking about?" asked Transcend, impatience starting to become
evident in his voice. "I've never felt better, never had such power, and
I'm
using it to defend the FAQ and the Council!"
"I know, I know...you're intentions are good," Spickard said as he walked
over to put the plate of brownies down on a small table. "But the problem
is, well, the power. It's corrupting you, consuming you." He gave
a glance
over to Transcend. "You know what I mean, you have felt it.
You are
starting to lose control."
Transcend seemed to think about it for a few moments. "Nonsense, you don't
know what you're talking about..."
"Don't I?" Spickard cut him off. "Don't try and lie to yourself. You know
what you just tried to do?"
"I was trying to destroy the enemies of the FAQ!" Transcend replied.
"You were using gigaton warhead to take out ground forces! That's like using
an industrial plasma cutter to open your mail!"
"Well I," Transcend began to reply.
"No excuses! We both know you were not thinking clearly. Its the Darkside.
You are not using it, it is using you." Spickard stepped closer to
Transcend. "You must fight it, don't let it win! You have to learn to
control it before it possesses you completely!"
Transcend glared at Spickard, not saying a word, but his look said it all.
"See what I mean? You don't want to think, you just want to destroy. Kill
it
all. Where does all this anger come from? Why is it so strong? Do you hate
everything so much for the pain you have endured?"
Transcend didn't answer, he just looked away angrily.
"Shut the hell up," came his reply, "Just shut the hell up."
"Fine, you don't have to listen to me. I'll let you go. But just remember
that the road you are taking leads to nothingness. You will be consumed
by
the Darkside unless you learn control! Do not let you're anger guide you,
you must consider your actions." Spickard walked back to his chair and sat
down slowly. "You have great power for one of your kind, you have much
potential for good, or for evil. It is a great responsibility, and
a
burden. Do not abuse it." He looked at Transcend, who was doing his
best to
look like he didn't care. Spickard could sense his thoughts as clearly as
if
he was shouting them over a loudspeaker. "Aright, I'll send you back now,
and restore your powers." Spickard nodded towards the back of the room,
or
whatever this strange place was. Transcend looked over to see a glowing
door
of some kind form, and with a quick glance at Spickard, he stepped toward
it.
"Just remember," Spickard said softly as Transcend began to step through
the
door, "What you reap, is what you sow." Transcend paused for a second,
seemingly in thought, then stepped through.
Spickard sat in silence for a minute, then with a sigh, he stood and began
to fold space-time again.
"Much work still to do..." he whispered as he faded out of the local
reality.

[Over Earth, Sol 10 hours after Operation Boydarossa
kicked off]
A battle was being fought.
On land, in the atmosphere, in space people died and bled.
In orbit, the flaming wrecks of 40 Imperial Class Star Destroyers from the
132nd Boyd Space Guard orbited in silent formations, a smaller Victory Class
hovering much further away. On the ground, millions of dezenines battled
for
control of ASVS. While Sheppards forces had launched a stunningly succesful
surprise attack, the ASVS defence force although fragmented was fighting
back. Hard. A year of constent TJ drills and SB.com invasion drills had
installed a sense of duty into the hardened defenders. While they had been
almost pushed back to ASVSland itself, they were now holding the line. The
defensive positions here including the Neutronium protected mountain of
the
FAQ were all but inpregnable to a direct assualt.
All BUT.
The shear numbers of men that the Sheepard/DOW/Boyd allience had been able
to get were stagering. It was time to even the odds.
[20,000 klicks above the Equator]
In space a briliiant blue hole twisted open. Out of the gaping maw, a fleet
swarmed out in a sceen remanisciant of the Dominions arrival at the Alpha
Quadrent at Deep Space Nine. In the lead was the modified Eclipse Class
Star
Destroyer _Cleaners Bane II_ followed by twelve 8 klick long SSD's and over
three hundred Akira, Defiant and Soverign class Starships.
In the C&C center of the _Cleaners Bane_ Chris O'Farrell sat. The C&C
center
in fact was a holodeck and could be reconfigured to show anythign he wanted.
Currently it showed an amazingly detailed image of Earth around 12 meters
across. With a word he could zoom in or hilight a particular area and track
a campaign or battle from any viewpoint.
What he saw was not good for ASVS.
Which left the Question, WHAT to do?
Onboard the fleet, he had over eight Corps of elite troops fully equiped.
He
had 16 wings of fighters with which to sweep the sky or attack ground
forces. This was enough force (excluding his reserves) to attack and swing
the balance one way or the other. He did not wish to incur Sheppards wraith,
but as a full voting member of ASVS could not sit back and let what had
been
built be destroyed.
He gave orders to deploy all forces bar the reserves into a rull defence
in
depth around ASVS. All Fighters configured for Ground attack missions to
be
launched for cover. All space supperiorty fighters to remain with the fleet.
Leaving C&C, he walked to the hanger where thousands of piolts, troopers
and
officers were quickly preping to launch. Taking a few salutes from the high
offficers, he made his way to the _Trollkiller Mk IV_ and powered up and
launched within a minuite. Outside he saw countless Dropships, Pegerines,
Raiders, Assault Gunboats and Blastboats in tight formation dropping into
the atmosphere, shields at full. With a light hand on the stick, he guided
his ship through the re-entery phase and broke into the stratosphere
getting readings from the communications / sensor cruiser in orbit of the
best way to ASVSland and adjusting course to match. The only threat along
the way was an outlying DOW anti air Panza unit which problaby went mad
at
the number of contacts comming in. The Raiders jammed its fire control
sensors leaving it to shoot its weapons blindly. Anti-matter missles and
flack bursts from turbolasers started to appear aheahd of them. Chris dodged
a pair of missles before arming a full yeild micro Q-Torp and firing at
the
encampent.
A titanic explosion ripped through the vally as the torpedo detonated the
unfired anti-matter weapons. Yanking away and riding out the shockwave,
Chris kept his speed around mach four as they raced for ASVS. Within
minuites they had reached and the Corps were being unloaded. Within an hour,
the dropships had left. Within six hours, a defence in depth had been set
up
with 8 wings of fighters on ground alert and a canopy shield raised above
ASVS.
Sheppard would have to get through him to get at the FAQ.
Who the hell would ever have thought that he would be PROTECTING Kynes...

Protoss Observers noted the recent events and in turn relayed
it to the
fast approaching Arbiters. With Republic Cloaking Devices, Federation AMRE
Fields, and the crews putting out psionic interference, they were virtually
undetectable. Though now it was no longer needed.
The Arbiters activated their recall devices and space folded.
In an
instant, the 4th and 12th Republic Battle Groups, the 32nd Chamachie Imperia
l Guard, and the Aiurian Tanis Taskforce appeared. The remaining Boyd
destroyers were astonished as they quickly disappeared from view, cloaked
by
the Arbiters' fields.
Until they were consumed by weapons fire. Tactical Superlasers
lanced
out from nowhere and shattered the destroyers' shielding, followed up
barrages of turbolasers, ion cannons, photon blasters, and hypersphere
drivers. Over a hundred destroyers were consumed in the first attack.
Now though, they were rallying to Rog's battleships, providing
the CGT
data, and were returning fire. The battleships' deadly array of weaponry
struck out and consumed various frigates and lighter ships in blazes of
fire. The fleet commanders knew the battleships would make the battle too
costly and activated a trump card.
In a nearby, relatively unimportant system, two Chamachie
battlecruisers
stood waiting. They received the signal. Activating their hyperswappers,
a
massive hyperspatial anomaly formed, and the Tzeechs and battlecruisers
switched places. A Shadow Planet-Killer shifted in from hyperspace and
surrounded the two vessels, barraging them with upgraded torpedoes.
The Chamachie battlecruisers entered the heart of the Boyd
fleet, and
used another of the Chamachie Empire's neat little toys, a gravity repulsion
field, and pushed the destroyers away from Earth. One of the Protoss
Carriers' hold opened and released a group of Probes, which quickly set
to
work, warping in Chamachie Orbital Shield Generators, upgraded with Republic
generators, now each easily surpassing the standard planetary generator
in
strength; as well as gravity-well generators.
The fleet began deploying dropships and invasion modules,
sending them
wherever they were needed. Battlecruiser begun carefully targeting the
Imperial naval battleships and began bombarding. The Boyd fleet was left
for
the lighter ships, attacking from the safety of the shields. Earth orbit
was
secure.

Umm, they're pretty heavy gear. They're like a 50m cubed box in an
underground bunker, and require large amounts of power. You'd have
to
mount that sucker in a specially designed spaceship. They are quite
powerful, however. One of them can blanket the entire nation of France
in a field of pure Macarena pain. I hate to think what would do

[Earth Orbit]
There was now a considerable fleet orbiting Earth. Well to be more precise,
there was a considerable fleet orbiting New Zealand which in turn was
orbiting Earth. These were the allied fleets of the FAQ, ship counts now
in
the thousands. Commander Theela had abandoned the battlefield leaving some
advanced holographic decoys that doomriser had just shot up. She was a
cunning, but not infalable.
Currently, O'Farrells fleet consited of just over 300 ships. THe biggest
was
the _Cleaners Bane II_, an Eclipse varient. Guarding it were 12 of the
smaller 8Klick Super class Star Destroyers, refitted less for ship killing
and more as anti-fighter platforms. In a defensive formation around THIS
were over 300 Federation designed starships. Heavily retrofitted with
Imperial and Borg technology, each ship was a match for an ISD II, the
Soverigns could slug it out with three at once.
The _Cleaners Bane II_ however was HEAVILY modified from the original
eclipse design. Its powerplant was a Hypermatter reactor. the Superlaser
had
been heavily upgraded to equal the 1st Death stars firepower. Also in the
bow were six Reflex cannons equal to the SDF1, and two in the stern. 30
squadrons of Verotech fighters were racked inside, and the ship herself
covered in tripple Defiant style PPC turrets that made her almost
impregnable to a fighter attack, and able to destroy anything upto a Cruiser
in few seconds of fire. It also had the most advanced sensors of all the
ship gathered here, an almagimation of Federation, Imperial, Borg and Voth
systems that ensured nothing that was cloaked or out of phased could get
within a Light year undetected. On top of all of this, the hull was a
reinforced compesent toped with a 3cm Neutronium layer. On top of that,
Vorlon bioarmour.
This ship was a killer.
The advanced sensors were currently tracking Theleas armarda hovering many
light years away after their fold jump. She was just sitting there. Waiting.
Time to make a move.
'Comscan, have you got the Nav Data ready?' Chris called as the Turbolift
arrived at the bridge command deck.
'Ah yeesir. We can go at any time.'
'Very good. Comm, you ready?'
'All brodcasters nominal. Holoprojectors on standby'
'Systems, are you ready?'
'Fields nominal Captain'
'Very good. Sound General quaters. Condition Red'
At once, the bridge lights dropped off to a blood red followed by 10 seconds
of Klaxons. The Bridge was in defiance to Imperial tradition burried deep
in
the Eclipse's hull. There were no windows, just the Visual feeds and
holographics around. He did not mind, the flag bridge was just too damm
vunurable.
'Signal the task force: Lock the co-ordiantes into computer and jump' Chris
called as he sat on his command chair.
'Roger that. Initating jump in Five....Four....Three...Two...One...Jump!'
From his perspactive, the Eclipse did not move. There was just a flash from
the viewscreens and the _Cleaners Bane II_ and 3 Super Star Destroyers
appeared behind and above the Zentraedi fleet. Immediatly, they started
to
turn to engage and against that kind of firepower even THIS taksforce could
not win in a standup fight.
Which is why this would be anything BUT a standup fight.
Usualy on an Eclipse's hull there were a number of dommed projections that
carried the gravity well projectors. However these had been retrofitted
with
a new technology. Using Borg assimilation technology, they had assimilated
Yalsimari. In doing so, they had figured out exactly HOW they worked and
been able to improve upon them. Now the 6 projectors projected a cone of
energy completly covering the Zentraedi fleet. Not gravatic energy, but
a
Force null zone completly destroying the effortes of Theleas telapaths to
protect the Zentraedi from the Macarana. Although it also protected them
from Pablo's attack blocking his transmissions, it did not matter.
Imediatly, a series of massive holographic projectors activated and the
superpowerful comm systems engaged floding the Zentraedi nets.
The Minmai attack, was back.
Imediatly the Zentraedi fleet fell into total confusion. The gunners and
piolts of O'Farrells fleet had a field day. Unfortunatly Theleas group of
superships Imediatly jumped out when the telepaths failed, but the core
of
the fleet was solomley blasted appart with the Superlaser, Reflex cannons,
and ship mounted batteries. Soon there was a titanic amount of wreckage
that
had been the Zentraedi fleet drifting through space, weakly burning from
escaping oxygen. The fighters were docked and the 4 superships jumped out
leaving the DOW's primary space fleet burning.
And thus went the first major victory in the war occured.

"O'Farrell has succeeded, then? How sad for the Zentraedi. This
is
the second time they have been destroyed in that manner," Pablo thought.
He said aloud, "Excellent. Inform the transports that they may begin
landing the detachments for the North American battle zone. If Yuen
requests permission to land, deactivate the amplifiers at his LZ.

In Earth orbit, a multitude of vessels began to enter the atmosphere.

"Falcon Lead here, requesting permission to deploy Virgo Deuce mobile

"Ground Control, permission granted. Commander Sanchez wishes you
luck."
"Return the wishes, Control." The pilot grinned. The mecha would
tear
through the DoW forces like paper. Tanks were antiquated devices,
and
it was surprising that anyone would be using them in the modern era.
As for the few Zentraedi mecha that had been left behind... well, the
numbers were not pretty.

I am sure you understand why my forces did not follow and
engage, as I
have have learned of your new weapon, a weapon that has such a damaging
effect on the Force. Personally I see the technology as an abomination that
should be destroyed the moment the war is over and DoW is defeated. Glory
to
the FAQ, may the forces of the DoW/Sheppard/Boyd rebellion be crushed
beneath the mighty strength of the Empire, and may the Force be with you.

And officer came over to the new Dark Master. "Sir" he said, "we have just
gained an intelligence report on this new Borg technology, our technical
division believes they may be able to not only duplicate the device, but
to
counteract the effects of the field." Transcend smiled. This was perfect,
now no weapon, no abominable technology, no disgusting alien animals could
ever seal himself off from the Force, and so long as no-one can cut him
off
from the Force no one can possibly defeat him. Indeed, all was proceeding
as
he had foreseen.

"Thelea, we've lost eighty thousand ships. A minor
setback, but
nothing vital."
"EIGHTY THOUSAND? THat's nearly one fourth of our entire remnant of
the fleet, Lord Khyron!"
"Don't worry.. You've had your fun at it.. Now we'll do things my
way!" Khyron laughed, Thelea generally fumed on her ship, securely
under Khyron's flagship, which had jumped away.. Sure.. They'd had
ninety thousand odd ships at the one location, and they'd been caught
with their shields down.. But not this time...
"Azonia! Show them the power of our Grand Cannon!" Khyron ordered into
the hyperwave transmitter to his second in command and sometimes lover.
The female Zentraedi smirked. "One moment, Khyron. We're folding in."
While the other the other 300,000 odd Zentraedi capital ships remained
at a far distant, hidden location, shields now up and mecha launched, a
lone ship with two thousand escorts was folding in against Chris and
his squadron at the wreckage of the old fleet.
And then the ship folded in. It was 87.6km long, and roughly a
cylender in shape, with a gaping maw and a large overhang of a nose
over that, a secondary superstructure running the length of the top. As
the massive sun-light eclipse ring of the fold drive effect faded, the
Mobile Grand Cannon Monitor immedietly fired.
The Grand Cannon was an infamous weapon. It had the firepower to
vapourize One MILLION Zentraedi Warships. This mobile copy of it,
shielded as heavily as the Death Star II, did as well, with a wide-
beam, at that. One Million Zentraedi Warships before being fitted with
Imperial shields and weaponry were roughly equivlant to 25,000 ISDs.
The firepower sufficient to vapourize 25,000 ISDs washed over Chris'
flagship and all of it's escorts. The escorts were vapourized instantly
as their shields were knocked down. Chris' flagship was also almost
totally vapourized. All that remained was the drifting bridge
compartment, with just enough air in it for ninety minutes or so, and
even then they were flung around wildly. Chris better hope for some
help, indeed.
With that, Azonia and her Grand Cannon Monitor folded out, back to the
main 300,000 ship force, where Khyron's Flagship and the survivors of
the fleet Chris had attacked were regrouping.
Fourtunately, for Khyron's followers, already accustomed in some ways
to music, having suffered the Minmay attack before, they recovered
quickly.
The first counterstrike had been a total success, no losses.
All shields were kept up, as Thelea transferred to Azonia's Monitor,
and once onboard, waited.
All Mecha and fighters were launched. Let them come...

Transcend, sensing the danger to his ally in trouble
hyperjumped directly to
the bridge of his crippled command ship. Searching through the charred
bodies he found Chris O'Farrell barely alive. He called on the force, and
with a slight push sent O'Farrell back to the Vader's Fist's medbay. Rage
filled him, he scanned nearby space and detected ships, alot of ships, with
plenty of filthy telepaths aboard them. One million Zentraedi warships were
surrounding the nearby space. He called on his rage and the Dark Side of
the
force, ship after ship exploded, some ramming each other, thousands upon
thousands of warships were being destroyed by his pure hate. Millions of
voices cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. Soon the entire
Zentraedi fleet, save for it's badly damaged command ship, were destroyed
and in flames. Such perfect irony. Transcend hyperjumped back to Earth.

Chris took a deep breath as the destructive energys
from the mega cannon
washed over him. The 4 ships of task force Spearhead were currently phase
cloaked. They had barley been able to do so in time before the Chiss's
revenge had been sent at them. in fact, the _Cleaners Bane II_'s shields
had
not been fully raised and the edge of the grand cannon had clipped and sent
the unocupied flag bridge spinning away into the void to join the wreckage
of 80,000 Zentraedi ships. However it would not take much time for the
Zentraedi to notice that there was no debres or ionised gas to account for
the 4 large ships.
He might never get this chance again.
'Helm, aheahd full. Full burn for the Grand cannon. Stand by Babylon drive'.
He received conformations from his people and watched as he appeared the
fly
through the many ships in formation. If there sensors were any good, it
would only take a few minuites to recalabrate and detect the phased ships,
but he could not afford to give them that time.
'Sir Babylon drive is fully charged. Ready on your command.' called out
the
navigator from the starbord crewpit. Chris gave an acknowlegment as he
turned to the cheif weapons officer.
'Sam, status on the superlaer and reflex cannons?'
'The Superlaser is charging and cooling. We won't be able to use it
again
for al least an hour after those rapid firings in the battle. The forward
reflex cannons are operational and ready, but they do not have enough
firepower to penetrate the shields on that...that thing.'
Damm Chris thought. He would have to settle for trying to cripple it.
'Helm adjust course 10 degrees to starboard. Stand by jump engines. Guns,
prepare to decloak and rephase on my mark...'
In the darkness of the command deck, Thelea stood worried. SOMETHING was
wrong. As a Chiss, she trusted her instincts more then anything else. She
was about to order a full sensor sweep when all hell broke lose. On the
starboard viewscreen, the _Cleaners Bane II_ and its escort of SSD's wavered
into view. At once, their batteries errupted and the reflex cannons on board
the Eclipse fired, cleaning a path directly for the Grand cannons starboard
side, though the cannons themselves did nothing to the defense shields
around the cannon. The 4 ships picked up speed and for a second she wondered
if Chris had decided to RAM the cannon.
As it turns out, her guess was close.
Before the 4 ships a bare 4 seconds from impact, a blue vortex appeared
as
an opening to Hyperspace (B5 hyperspace) was created. The incredable warping
of space time had the side effect of destroying anything within the roche
limit of the singularity on the other side.
Explosions traced along the starboard side of the Grand Cannon as the
vortexs twisted the hull plates appart. The damage was isolated but
considerable, digging into the firing chamber so if the cannon was fired
again, the unbeliavable energies would not be contained and would consume
the cannon. As the vortexs closed on the 4 cruisers leaving more wreckage
in
their wake, the Chiss was filled with an emotion very rare to her species.
Rage.

"Fool," commented Khyron as he laughed, surveying
the undamaged
300,000 odd ships of the fleet, exactly where they had been. "He
doesn't even know that there is no such thing as a Zentraedi Telepath.
He was utterly fooled by those emissions from the scientific devices...
And destroyed them instead of the fleet."
Khyron actived the hyperwave transmission system. "Azonia, we cannot
remain here any longer... Prepare to fold. We'll have our revenge
another time. Now that we know the weapon works, and we've made that
Sith look like a fool..."
"Of course, Khyron. I have our ally onboard. It appears her continued
usefulness is apparent, after all. The incredible idiocy of many of the
Micronians, though. Her and her scientists are the only ones worth
having as allies... We're folding now."
Khyron turned to his chief lieutenant. "Order the fleet to space-
fold.. Maximum range!"
The massive monitor and the supporting ships were surrounded in that
brilliant ring of the space-fold effect, and then vanished, racing
through the folded space towards a vastly distant destination.
((Please note: Because of time constraints, I'm dropping out of the
TGOD, along with what remains of my fleet, roughly some 318,000
modified Zentraedi Warships and a Grand Cannon monitor. I'd like to
continue, but I do have a life, and as indicated by my relatively low
number of posts on ASVS until Sheppard's return, most of it isn't here.

Hey if it hadn't been for Sheppard's telepathic attack
I would never have
been seperated from my body and unified with the Dark Side of the Force.
And
since that body was still there it allowed me a way to come back. In short,
if Sheppard had done his homework on my persona, a Force strong pilot
personally trained by Vader and head of an elite force who answered only
to
him and the Emperor, none of this would have happened. Telepathic assault
on
a Sith, bad move :)
BTW I never would have thought of it either. As for the other attempts on
my
life.....well I did tell you people about my ship and it's abilities before
hand.

"Allied Command, Allied Command, come in. This is General

4th Battle Group, overall commander of ground forces. We have dropships
in
bound. Requesting LZ Coordinates. Any hotspots you need help with?" Republic
dropships were being quickly loaded as marines and other infantry rushed
in,
and repulsortanks, assault walkers, and naval cruisers secured on board.
Meanwhile in high orbit, the first Protoss Stargates came
online as
Minion assault transports warped in. The Minion were quite similar to the
Borg: a collective mind, assimilation of others. But unlike the Borg, they
were fast, cunning, powerful, masters of ground combat. They had no match
within their home galaxy. In the Great War, they had discovered that
cooperation with the rest of the Alliance was more efficient, as long as
they get a decent share of the spoils. And now they were here. The Central

Protected from the missiles by their Quantum Crystalline

battleships openned fire with their combined might of 48 medium superlasers
the Death cloud was wiped from exsistance. Checking that everything
was
fine the "Lord of Change" and the "Changer of Ways" engaged their Aing Tii
star drives and were back in the Sol system in seconds. Firing their
heavy
superlasers at the heart of the Chamancie fleet. Driving right into
the
middle of the enemy formation 90% of the Chamancie were destroyed before
they retreated. The Boyd ships opened fire on any enemy vessels left
in
system before falling back for repairs themselves. Within half an
hour it
was all over and the only ships left in the Sol system (with the exception
of those in Earth's atmosphere) were Rog's - with one exception the SSC.
The battleships rounded the planet to enages the massive construct.

"Subprocessor 1837-A reporting. Republic Command has
been destroyed. Orbital
control is lost. Subprocessor 1837-A of the Minions is designated Ground
Commander. We will comply."
The dropships and invasion modules hasteningly altered their
vectors,
underfire from Rog's immense battleships. Over 20% percent had been consumed
by the orbital bombardment. A number of survivors altered course, taking
direct paths over the United States and DoW positions, dropping down
commando squads. The DoW suffered from friendly fire from the orbiting
battleships.
Meanwhile, the rest of the force reached Northern Canada and
set down,
hastily establishing pre-fab planetary shield generators. The few Probes
with them started warping in base structures. The majority of the Republic
forces remained behind as the Minions advanced south towards the DoW
positions, destroying and assimilating any resistance.

In the meantime, a slightly damaged H-wing starfighter
lifted off from a
hidden bunker and took to the sky. Crayz9000 shook his head at Thelea. "You
idiot. I said that I would remain neutral in this conflict, and what do
you
do, you blow up my grandparent's house. Now what?" He twisted the H-wing
as
a pair of Eclipse ICBMs streaked by, very narrowly missing him. In a flash,
he fired the laser cannons, and obliterated the missiles. The bounty hunter
knew exactly where the rest of the Eclipse missiles were. He hit the comm.
"Proceed with Operation DISARM."
Thousands of varied ships appeared in orbit, most under droid control. They
immediately aimed at the underground missile silos, air bases, anything
else
that had to do with the war, and proceeded to fire their heavy turbolasers,
turning them all into small pools of slag. Then, the saucer-shaped DCS
battleships powered up their transporters, and proceeded to beam the
combined Boyd and penguin forces off the ground, into holding rooms. The
two
hundred Droid Control Ships powered up their hyperdrives, and headed over
to the moon
Europa, where they unloaded their volatile cargo.
So far, everyone would think that the bounty hunter had teamed up with the
forces of the FAQ. That may have been true- for this one battle. But his
pledge to remain neutral would stay. "Unit Commander, execute operative
1154." The massed droid fleet pirouetted for several minutes, then flashed
into hyperspace.

*Over Earth*
Grand Admiral Ancaris stood looking out the of the panaramic viewport on
the bridge
of the _Deathbane_ - A heavily modified Eclipse-class Star Destroyer, at
17.6 km in
length, armed with 4 times the weaponry and 5 times the shields of a "standard"
Eclipse, it was a dangerous force to be reckoned with. However, as
dangerous as it
was, it was neither fired upon nor did it fire at anyone else. For
the Commander of
the vessel had decreed his neutrality in the matter at hand.
As the Grand Admiral watched the events unfold before him it was clear that
this was
going to be a pivotal moment in history. What he saw was a battle
of grotesque
preportions. Both Space and on the ground, there had been few battles
that compared
to this one in size and carnage. Not even during either Galactic Civil
War. Even
now, heavily damaged and hulked ships were drifting towards the planet.
When they
impacted, they would cause global catastrophies. The ground battle
on the planet
below was also awesome to behold. Even from this distance, mass explosions
could be
seen on the small, blue planet's surface. 'If the battle continues
like this, soon
there won't be any planet left to fight for.' the Grand Admiral thought
to himself.
The Grand Admiral turned from the viewport and began to walk back towards
his command
chair, the limp caused from all the injuries he'd received over the years
clearly
evident. As he reached his command chair, he sat down and spoke to
his Flag Captain.
"Marcus, move us to twice the orbit of the moon away from Terra, and then
hold
position"
"Yes Admiral."
"After we are there, contact the 3rd and the 5th fleets. Have them
meet us here as
soon as they can. Make sure to tell them that they have their identification
signals
transmitting, and that they are _not_ to engage any of the forces fighting
for
Terra. One last thing, power all weapons, bring shields up to full
power... and
begin charging the Superlaser for a full-power shot."
The Captain was quiet for a moment before replying, "Aye Sir, we will begin
immediately", before walking off to carry out the orders given to him.
[1000 light years from Earth]
In an solar system not occupied until the enigmatic Grand Admiral Ancaris'
arrival in
this galaxy, several fleets of Star Destroyers sailed the void of space.
Then a transmission came in, and two of the fleets of 500 Star Destroyers
each broke
their current paths and began heading coreword. For what reason was
unknown. Only
the two fleets that had been contacted were informed of what was happening...
With a flash, both fleets entered hyperspace simultaniously and were gone,
on a
course for the Sol star system.

A tear in the fabric of space and time opened in the
Sol system. Through it
came the most powerful Imperial fleet in the history of warfare, more ships
in fact than Rog had even had built such were the whims of the gods of
chaos. 70 Tzeentch class battleships raced towards the point at which
their
allies had been destroyed only to find the two ships revived presumably
by
the might of their patron god. this massive show of force was followed
up
by 24 Slaanesh class commandships with even stronger shielding and armour
than the Tzeentch's and mounting 36 medium superlaser cannons and
roughly
double number of normal weapons emplacements than the Tzeentch class the
were formidable opponents. To top all this off they each carried hundreds
of squadrons of TIE predators (the most powerful imperial fighter ever
built) and entire armies in their holds.
The ships locked their weapons 2736 superlasers (144 of them being DS2
class) all locked on to the SSC blowing it in microscopic space dust.
As it
was destroyed Pablo was teleported to Rogs bunker on earth by the power

Ah, damn. Kyle! Where the heck are you! I need support.
Fortunately, a good majority of the Protoss forces were cloaked
around
the outer edges of the system, watching the unfortunate turn of events
occurring. Though it was not as bad as it seemed.
A good majority of the ground forces had already made planet-fall.
The
Arbiters managed to recall a small portion of the Chamachie and Republic
fleets. The Battle of Danelis, loaded with psi-amplifiers, was recalled
as
well. The Chamachie vessels activated their recallers, rips in space-time
formed, and the fleet proceeded through, before they could be detected by
the enemy forces.
Exiting the rips, the fleet returned to Andromeda, the nearest
Alliance
fleet yard. Now it was time to regroup. The one thing the Alliance hated
more than the Empire, was Transcendent interference. If Rog got help from
his god, it was time to call in a few favors.

Um, actually, you'll have to talk to your Slaanesh
about the reality of
that situation because 1) I am not on the SSC, and more importantly:
The SSC was specifically designed to combat Spacebattles level
warships, and that put out of your warships range, and into a class I
have called Excessive. The Space Construct (so called because it
cannot be called a ship) is the size of a red supergiant star, and
power up a blast able to destroy the entire galactic local group every
1/1000 of a second. Its shields and armor are each capable of
withstanding all out fire from a copy of itself for 1,000,000 million
years.
It can travel instantaneously to any spot in the universe, and can
accurately detect and fire upon enemy vessels from the other side of
the universe. It is currently sitting at the outer edges of the
Universe, keeping the battle open-ended.
Frankly, your ships are incapable of harming, or even annoying the
SSC. Your ships would have come into the system, and been blasted
to
pieces before they were even able to target the SSC. You will withdraw
your post, or everything you hold dear will be destroyed.

For now!
Relief flooded through the stressed brain cells of Mike January that
he was still in one piece. He was actually giddy with elation.
Then ... in a small corner in the deep recesses of his mind a slow
realisation came to him. What had prompted Thelea to rescue him, or
for that matter for Sheppard to overlook his escape? For surely
nothing escaped the incisive mind of Sheppard, not even the quick
action of Thelea in pushing him to the deck?
What plans did Thelea have for him? And what was leading Sheppard to
allow Thelea to continue with those plans? Relief soon turned to
anxiety, and anxiety to fear. "Feed on it, Michael!" he silently
screamed in his mind. His brain working at the fever pitch only a
trapped and wounded animal could manage, an idea slowly started
forming. Perhaps there was a way out. Just maybe.

Hovering in the middle of the council of The Order of the Xtreme
Technomancers is a technomancer. Not just any technomancer but the
original. It was he who formed the Lurker Empire and it was he who led
his people into victory in every war he waged. His power and the power
of his people came from numerous sources and were augmented by advanced
biometal technology. But though he was an inspiration to many he never
assumed rulership but then again no one ever denied his every wish.
"Honourable Xtreme Psycho. Why have you summoned us? We were in the
middle of meditation and regeneration." asked the Elder Technomancer.
His robes billowing from a non-existing wind. A glowing Orb floating in
front of him. In it pictures of atrocities committed by Sheppard's
forces.
"Honourable gentlemen." Xtreme commences. "I have a dilemma. A merman by
the name of MK Sheppard has unleashed his forces against those who have
a seat on the ASVS council. I myself have a seat on that council and my
guess is that he will make a futile attempt in capturing me as he is
currently doing to others. I wish to battle with this warrior but he is
allied with Boyd and Boyd is also our greatest ally. What am I to
decide? Shall we break our friendship with the Boyd or shall we stand
aside and let him continue to commit more atrocities until help is
requested of us? Please take your time, Honourable ones."
In a flash every technomancer in the council vanished in order to reach
a decision, leaving Xtreme alone in the council chamber. In what seemed
to be an eternity the technomancers returned. The Elder hovered toward
Xtreme and said, "The council has reached to a decision. We are to stand
aside. We are in no danger from this creature. It is important that we
maintain our alliance with the Boyd for they in a few ways are like us.
They are necessary for us to continue to prosper at a rate it is in. But
we request that you communicate with this Sheppard that he is not to
harm you or any of us lest he wishes to wage a war that he'll very much
regret. Tell him also we will not hinder him from his mission unless
asked to. Now go please Honourable Xtreme Psycho and do the right thing.
This meeting has been adjourned."
Again in a flash they all disappeared leaving Xtreme to himself. With a
flick of his left hand, the Orb grew three times its size. Xtreme then
closed his eyes and vanished.
[Sheppard's current location]
Sensing that something was up, Sheppard turned around only to see a man
dressed in a huge billowing robe hovering in front of him. Picking up
any available pistol he aimed it at the man and demanded, "Who the hell
are you?"
The man smiled, pulled back his hood and then answered, "I'm not
surprised that you do not recognized me but let me introduce myself. My
name is Xtreme Psycho and I have lurked in ASVS for about three years
and many might argue but I too have seat in the ASVS council. True I
don't weild any power in the council but... nevermind this is going
off-topic. Anyways, I'm here to tell you not to try to incarcerate me in
anyway for you will surely fail. Since I'm allied with Boyd I will not
take any action against you but to stay neutral while this mess
continues. But let it be known that if enough people request my services
and the services of my people I will not hesitate to help them. Don't
get me wrong. I do not hate you or hold anything against you. It is just
I'm looking out at the best interests of my people and myself. Good
Day."
Before Sheppard could respond, Xtreme vanished.

RAise the shields you fools! Deimos roared at his
underlings, as alert
bleeps went off on detecting the orbital weapon locks on that area of
Argentina. The ground-hugging theatre shields came online, to protect
the airstrip and buildings in it's vicinity. On open ground the shields
were no more than 5 inches above the ground, at buildings seperate
generators curved shields up in a bubble over the buildings.
The rest of the base was deep underground, and lined by armor 30 meters
thick, comprising layers of quantum crystaline armor, neutronium armor,
and Defiant-style ablative armor. Each layer was a meter thick, meaning
that there were ten layers of each type, layered alternately. (i.e.
Quantum Crystaline, Neutronium, Ablative, QC, NT, AB, QC, NT, AB,
etc...)
Since the shots were fired at a general area rather than precise
locations, many of them missed, and the ones which did find targets
either failed to penetrate the shields if it was the airstrip area, or
were stopped by the armor if they hit near the underground base. As the
blasting continued, Deimos gave orders to the clones under his command.
"check the sensor logs of the base computer core for the courses those
ships were on as they approached the planet. Then use the temporal
vortex generators to send 10MT nuclear warheads to the location each of
those ships would have been on, 5 minutes before now. Have them on a
code-locked timer set to 1 minute."
"Yes, master!"
In orbit, a group of starships move into orbit above Argintina. Six
Soverigns, two Akiras and a Defiant alligned their weapons arrays
towards the recorded likely locations of Deimos's bases.
"Commence pinpoint..." the words stopped as suddenly a swirling vortex
opened on the bridge and out popped a 6 foot tall metallic cone with a
radioactive symbol on the side. The vortex vanished leaving the cone
standing in the middle of the bridge near the captains chair. A
nameless ensign waving a tricorder pissed his pants, as he
screamed: "it's a nuclear bomb on a one minute timer, down to 45
seconds now! Its coded and I cant shut off the timer!"

As Crayz9000 flew through space, his fleet jumping
to hyperspace, he felt
the disturbance caused by the vortex. The H-wing was quickly running at
full
power, and he felt the fright of the captain of the vessel. Acting only
on
instinct, he reached out with the Force and fried the detonation circuitry
with a blast of Dark Side energy. Chris would figure out what to do with
it
sooner or later. In the meantime, he reached out with the Force again, fury
matched only by that of Transcend, Vader, and the Emperor. Suddenly, the
entire hidden base of Deimos Anomaly was ripped completely from the ground,
and hurled at the moon of Deimos, at near-light speeds. He opened a comm
channel to it.
"YOU KRIFFIN JERK! I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU!
Just then, the base slammed into the asteroid-moon, only its neutronium
and
quantum armor protecting it from certain destruction. He reached out again,
this time fusing the hangar doors on the base and locking the D'Deridexes,
Seawolves, and Ohios inside. Then, he utterly destroyed the vortex
generators. Now, he was furious. Typically, he would be much calmer, but
this was just too much. He quickly found the Kanos, and with another
thought, it was ripped completely from the atmosphere of Earth, and with
its
weapons and propulsion systems knocked offline, on a bee's-line trajectory
for Jupiter at 0.9c. He felt Atomik Chicken's presence, and noted
how he stopped Trancend's counterattack. "Good," he thought, "one more job
that I don't have to do."
Then his attention turned to the thousands of tanks driving on toward the
Rocky Mountains. Within seconds, every single tank and vehicle was sitting
on its turret, unable to move at all. The rest of the ground forces would
take weeks to get there. His attention now turned to the thousands of
civilians waiting underground near Los Angeles, in hidden bunkers scattered
throughout the Hollywood Hills, Verdugo Hills, San Gabriel Mountains, San
Bernadino Mountains, and Santa Susana Mountains. He opened a comm channel
to
the base command. "Proceed with the evacuation. Clearance code transmission
commencing." "Affirmative, sir. Proceeding with the evacuations."
Literally hundreds of clam-shaped transports and Corellian Corvettes lifted
off from the hidden bases, with full starfighter escort. As soon as they
achieved orbit, hundreds of hyperdrives activated at once, and the transport
convoy jumped into hyperspace.
He would remain in orbit, to watch and make sure that nobody, NOBODY, would
try something stupid.

Deimos contacted R'Lik, the commander of one of his
warbirds currently
in solar orbit near Mars. "Was he fooled?" Deimos inquired.
"Yes master. He was completely taken in by our long range holo-
projection. Various others, however, were less precautios, and paid the
price in being less fortunate. He is currently watching the Earth, so
it should no longer be nescesary to keep the holographic image of
Romulus Base on the surface of the Deimos moon."
"Excellent. Deactivate the projection, engage cloak and go to Earth.
You are to DESTROY that H wing."
"Yes...Yes of course, my master." R'Lik's face vanished from the
screen, to be replaced by the beutiful emblem of the Romulan Star
Empire.
Deimos turned from the screen, silently praising himself for his
prodigial forethought and provision for almost every eventuality. The
insane sith lord had been fooled utterly by the long range holo
projector controlled directly by one of the Romulus Lab's more secret
projects - a Galaxy class computer core with several only-recently-
perfected midi-chlorian stimulae matrices conected as input devices.
The computer could literally draw input data from the force - and had
therefore detected exactly what Crazy9000 was trying to do with the
force, and simulated this via the holoprojector onboard the Warbird,
while the Yaslamiri habitat pods scattered throughout the actual base
had kept it perfectly protected.
Deimos then contacted someone else. Captain Vek of the Ohio class ICBM
nuclear submarine _Klingon's Doom_, cruising 100 metres below the
surface of the western Indian ocean. "Captain Vek, I've had enough.
Target your nuclear missiles on the headquarters of the DoW traitor
Pablo and fire. And keep your shields up at all times!"
In the Depths of the ocean, massive nuclear-tipped intercontinental
ballistic missiles rose out of their silos within the hull of the
Klingon's Doom. As they approached the surface they automatically fired
up their rocket boosters and roared out of the ocean, soaring into the
sky and away towards their targets.

Your unholy alliance with the Boyd Collective and
Sheppard has once
again made a triumvirate. With the destruction of the DoW ground
forces only days away, and Thelea fled from the battlefield for a time,
you will soon be the next target of the Alliance. No amount of armor
and shielding can protect you from the total ground and orbital
superiority of our forces.
--==--
Pablo glowered at the tech. "You say that Deimos has escalated to
the
use of temporal weaponry? Well, let it be the shovel that be the
shovel that digs his grave. Detonate Chronos one."
In orbit, a standard looking Communications Satillite swiveled, putting
its solar panels parallel to the Argentinan base. A charge built up
on
the panels, bending the fabric of reality. The charge seeped into
the
dimension of Time, where no shield could absorb it, and no armor could
stop it. Inside Deimos' base, the Temporal Vortex Generators began
to
spark and burst into flame. The techs shrieked in terror as the
malfunctioning devices warped their bodies in purely theoretical
directions.
Finally, the Communications Satillite explode violently.
One might
think that the charge would collapse, but instead, it became a
monstrous temporal pulse, interacting with the Argentinan vortex
generators.
The generators exploded in an invisible wave of blue temporal fury.
The shockwave took them through time and space, to a place no living
being had ever been.
--==--
"Where are we?" shouted Deimos. Something had gone wrong with the
generators, and they had somehow transported them to someplace _other_
than South America.
An officer looked up from his sensor boards. "Sir, the chronosensors
are completely shot, so the proper question may be *when* are we.
I
am, however, detecting an enourmous gravity field. It is larger than
anything that has even been speculated, sir! It goes off the scale
at
100 trillion G's!"
The Romulan growled, "What in the hell could it be?"
"I don't know, but I may have an idea--wait, the gravity field is
destabilizing! Something is going very wrong here, the mass may be
exploding!"
Deimos paled. "An enormous gravity field, destabilizing, then
exploding..."
"Yes sir. The Big Bang."
The bunker, drifting in space, was overtaken by an explosion of a
magnitude never dreamt of by mortal thought. Its impressive shields
and armor failed to deflect even one billionth of a percent of the
energy directed at it. The explosion swept into and through it,
blasting it to its component atoms and beyond, beyond the realm of
subatomic particles, all the way to particles so small that even the
brightest of physicists had never speculated upon them.

As the wave of destruction approached the drifting
bunker, V'lok hit a
concealed button on his jacket. Immedietly he was beamed directly to
the bridge of the _Glorius Dawn_, one of the two D'Deridex Warbirds,
which was always kept fully crewed with clones. "Get us out of here.
Now." he ordered. The Great hangar doors opened, and the Warbird rushed
out.
"Sir, the explosion wave is approaching!"
"Take us away, warp 2."
"Yes, Master."
The _Glorius Dawn_ leapt into warp, keeping ahead of the frontline of
the expanding universe. Reaching to his belt, Deimos removed his own
personal temporal vortex generator. He stepped into the turbolift for
engineering. When he got there, he began explaining his plan. "This
generator is far smaller than the ones at the base, it was never
designed to take something like a large starship. But, if it is
attached to this ship's main power core, it will be capable of time-
jumping the ship. However, it will probably be destroyed in the
process, so we only get one shot."
"Sir, what will we do when we get back?"
"We will find out what caused our TVG's to malfunction in the first
place. We will then stop or destroy that."
"But sir, then _we_ will cease to exist!"
"What?"
"Oh sure, _some_ version of us will exist. But not we who are here and
now. Not us who were sent back in time and experienced the big bang."
There was silence for a few seconds as everyone considered this
prospect. Deimos's face hardened.
"We are Romulans!"
"(All)YES SIR!"
"Are we afraid of that fate, if it will reverse what has happened?"
"(All)NO SIR!"
"Good. See to it."
A short time later, the TGV was attached to the Warbird's artificial
singulariy power core. Deimos was back on the bridge. He gave his
orders. "Engineering... set the temporal vortex generator for the 20th
century, 5 minutes before the industrial-class TGV's went haywire."
"Yes, master"
"Activate the vortex...now."
A Swirling vortex opened, engulfing the Warbird, even as it raced
through warp. Then it vanished, and a few moments later the expanding
frontier of the universe overtook the place where it had been.
-==-
Earth orbit
A vortex opened and deposited a Romulan warbird. The Glorius Dawn, in
fact.
-==-
Glorius Dawn, Bridge
"Master, engineering reports the temporal vortex generator is
completely fried!"
"That is of no concern now." Replied Deimos. "Begin scanning the system
for any unusual signal or object."
(A Minute passes)

If you use Time Travel again, I will grandfather paradox

And then the Universe will explode because of it.

Actually, Grandfather Paradoxes don't actually cause
the destruction of
the universe. Wong once gave me an explanation of how a Gradfather
paradox could exist, with a beginning. (If I can find it I'l post it
up, it's an e-mail. It related to the last chapter of Conquest, in
which he introduced a grandfather paradox as an explanation to the
origin of the Empire.) The only kind of paradox which causes the
universe to implode (not explode) is the one where a certain thing MUST
happen, eg it cannot not happen, but also it MUST NOT happen, it cannot
happen, and where the reasons for the two opposing outcomes are equally
valid or compelling.
As for me using time travel, quit whining, its a TGOD init?

The bounty hunter checked his displays yet again.
Something was definately
NOT right; he was getting no readings on the base he chucked at Deimos (the
moon, that is). Now he was getting suspicious, and really pissed off. He
sent a short-burst transmission to the ground; thousands of turbolaser
emplacements scattered all over the Earth rotated into view, and obliterated
every single nuclear missile. Then, Crayz9000 quickly sent an encrypted
hypercomm transmission, powered up the hyperdrive, and hypered out of the
Sol system.
<Sol System, several hours later>
Deimos sat in his base, waiting. That dratted Sith had jumped out of the
system just as his D'Deridex arrived at its former location; the Force knew
where it was. Oh well. He would triumph anyway.
A comm unit buzzed an emergency alert. Deimos walked over to it, and pressed
a button. The visage of R'Lik appeared on-screen, and it was... troubled?
"Master Deimos, something very strange is happening."
"What?"
"We are detecting gravimetric energy readings that are completely off the
scale. Source unknown."
Now Deimos was puzzled. "What type of energy?"
"We are not sure, but it appears to be repulsor-- (static) "
"Oh shit."
A hyperspace gateway opened just enough for the tractor-repulsor energy
to
seize Earth and draw it into the gateway. Billions on the planet wondered
what was happening, just as the sky turned to a mottled color.
<Coruscant System, three days later...>
The hyperspace gateway appeared, and a blue-green world came out of it.
Earth. But now it was locked into a binary orbit with Coruscant...?

The action I am about to perform requires at least
50% of the New Zealanders
in ASVS to be in agreement.
All for throwing the emergency switch?
Aye.
The ayes have it!
*Throws the switch*
Slowly the ground begins to rumble. Shockwaves are felt as far away as
Ireland. Gargantuan metal plates emerge from teh North Island shore line.
Other small plates rise from the ground all over Auckland and
Wellington, incasing the larger buildings in a silver ceramic housing. The
government house is filled with carbon minoxide and all the countries leaders
are simultaneously executed. The gas is cleared as Spyda, with the help
of
some pro ASVS militia (both of them) storm the beehive (name given to NZ
gov
house) and take control.
More plates come into place, securing all the main cities on the North
Island. Domes rise up from the ground, protecting the rural towns. The
Gargantuan plates merge to cover the entire North Island.
Flames began to spew out from all sides around the cost. Finally the entire
North Island (with the exception of 90 mile beach) rises up out of the ocean
and takes to the skies. Up and up it goes, untill finally it reaches orbit.

The fleet of Lord Rog
orbited earth blockading it against all
reinforcements for the pro R&R forces fighting on the surface. There
sensors and scanners probed space for light-years across. Looking for
any possible enemy.
They found one. A massive energy surge blanketed
all wavelengths and
frequency's. Most were mystified, what could have the kind of power to
pass through a FLAX field like it was nothing and enter this system.
One person recognized the signs though. Lord
Rog had realized what they
now faced almost instantly. He had dreaded this moment, he had hoped
that it would not happen, but it had. Star Marshall Knopf had arrived,
he called up the recordings and remembered. He saw a single vessel, 25%
larger then the Earth's moon. With firepower enough to vaporize planets
and a crew larger then many planetary populations.
Such was an Asgerd class planetoid, and now
one was here. He had no
doubt in his mind that it was commanded by his old foe. For now the ship
floated peacefully in space, then it instantly jumped to .75c. It was on
a direct course for Earth.
Rog ordered his fleet to battle stations, and
waited...
Kyle watched the chaos through out the system,
this looked to be quite
a battlefield. Most of the ships he had never known before, except a
group orbiting Earth, he looked closer then weren't orbiting, they were
blockading!
Once his ships had set course and were on he
way he sent a message,
"Rog, I am here. Now we will see who is the greater commander..."
His ship advanced onwards. Thousands of capital
ships orbited it, and
millions of fighters covered all approaches. All weapon were on auto
respond and shields were at max.
Note To Readers: Rog and I will be attempting to set up a large multi
post battle. So please do not come in and completely destroy one side

"Very well sir. Commencing primary ignition."
And with that, the world ship was destroyed, and the NINZ platform was spit
out like a watermelon seed. The platform then assumed a low geosynchronous
orbit over the United States. They were able to see the action below as
Thelea's and Sheppard's armies unleashed hell below.
PREDATOR entered the main observation deck of the Hive while Spyda observed
the battle below. For this particular ocasion the pair of them were speaking
in Slavic acsents.
"So, Magistrate. I trust you have a good reason for pulling me away from

"Your vodka can wait, PREDATOR. Come, stand here, you need to see this."
Said

"You've seen nothing! Discecting a dead Irishman in a lab is one thing,
unleashing them on men is another. You must go into this with both eyes
open.
Once started, there's no going back." The Magistrate narrowed his eyes.
"Are
you prepared to go all the way with this?"
PREDATOR thought for a moment, his eyes turned to the carnage happening
below. Finally, he gave his answer. "Yes. Yes I am prepared to go all the
way. My good Magistrate."
"Good, I knew I could count on you."
A message came over the intercom from the bridge of the hive.
"Sir, the ASVS otupost will be overrun in a matter of minutes. Should we
intervene?"
"Take us into orbit Helmsmen. We have seen enough."
Slowly the giant platform begins to rise back into the clouds. A lone ASVS
counsil marine, the last of his platoon, watches as the orbital nation
descends, he knew that it was not going to help him. Lightning flashed,
allowing him to glimpse the hundreds of teeth and claws of the rabid Irishmen
surrounding him. Then all was dark.

[Earth Orbit]
Wreckage from untold thousands of ships floated in the airless vacuum of
space as
weapons fire continued to flicker across the cosmos from just about every
fucking
where.
Everyone was focussed on the intense space battle occuring over the Earth,
and as
a result, failed to notice the small task force of 4 SSD-sized ships jumping
in.
[Bridge of the Lead ship, ISS _Hoth_]
Grand Admiral Mark Sheppard sat in the admiral's chair on the bridge of
his small task force of
AEGIS XXI-equipped ships. As the battle had raged overhead, with Thelas'
forces taking
severe losses, he'd cancelled his date with her, dried his tail off and
swapped it for legs,
and taken a shuttle out to his secret construction yard out in the orbit
of Pluto.
"Sir, we've arrived at the battlesite!" shouted a nameless sub-lieutenant.
"Excellent. What's the situation?"
"How the fuck should I know? Everyone's shooting at everyone! New Zealand
turned into
an orbiting battlestation, and Dice dropped in with his worldship, then
Unicrom came in and
took a bite out of Dice's worldship. It's fucking chaos out there, sir!"
"Ahhh...just the way I like it," said Sheppard, smiling evilly.
Suddenly, on Earth, earthquakes occured in every major city. In eastern
India, the horizon
lit up with fire as Bangladesh, a country nobody had ever heard of before,
nor had any
apparent use been found for, lifted into the sky ala New Zealand under Spyda.
Rumbling into orbit, threatening tubes pointing in random directions, arcs
of electricity
flying across it's rippling surface in random directions for no apparent
reason. The
Bangladesh Mark 4.2 confounded everyone, even Sheppard. The object appeared
to have no particular purpose, but then, neither did Bangladesh, so no one
really noticed
anything. Suddenly, a transmission was recieved from it.
"Listen up Bitches! This is Commander Chem of the Random Objects! I am Mark
Sheppard's
brother, and I've decided to get up here so I don't get wasted by all the
Eclipse-thread ICBMs
flying around Earth at the moment! Behold the Bangladesh Mark 4.2!!! Improved
over the
original Bangladesh by 2.1 percent, in various mysterious effects, of which
I can say no more.
Remember, the power to destroy a planet is insignificant compared to the
utter pointlessness
of my ship. FLEE IN TERROR PUNY MORTALS!"
Suddenly, the ship containing Transcend flew by the Bangladesh Mk 4.2
.On it's bridge,
Transcend was humming a little song to himself, minding his own business.
When, without
warning, he discovered that he had a craving for PASTA! PASTA IS THE MEAT
TO EAT!
GOTTA EAT IT J00 BITCH! GOTTA EAT THAT PASTA NOW! Then, without any additional
warning, a portal to Quasispace opened, and Transcend flew into it
screaming "PASTAAAAAAAAA
SALAMI SALSA!!!!!!!!!" And he was never seen again. (this may or may not
be true, depending on
the position of the stars, and the ratio of pasta to meatloaf.)
For several seconds. all fire stopped, and the silence of space returned
as everyone saw what had
happened to Transcend.
"What the fuck was that?" Sheppard yelled.
The question was answered a second later, as a pro-Council TIE Defender
flew too close to the
Bangladesh Mark 4.2 .Suddenly, the command ball of the TIE was replaced
by a giant living tit, with
an erect nipple sticking out where the cockpit windows had been.
"Sir, that object seems to warp space/time around it, causing massively
unpredictable effects on
anything that passes within 1 kilometer of it! I recommend that we avoid
it completely and do not
attempt to fire on it!" All over the multiple fleets orbiting Earth, commanders
recieved this information,
albeit in differing forms, from their science officers.
"Sooo...It's in effect a random chaos device, correct?"
"Yessir."
"Signal the fleet to stay away from it." ordered Sheppard.
Slowly, weapons fire returned to the airless void, and once
again, people began dying horribly.
"Can you make any sense of what the fuck is going on here, Lieutenant?"
"Nosir."
"Ah, well. Enable AEGIS and switch to Automatic engagement mode," Sheppard
ordered.
On the four Executor-class SSDs, klaxons began to wail throughout their
17.6
kilometer lengths. Their structures began to vibrate to the harmonics of
hundreds
of thousands of running feet and the 'thuds' of blast doors closing, sealing
off
countless compartments.
"Sir, All compartments report ready at General Quarters."
"Enable AEGIS on my mark, and send it through the 1MC."
"Yessir."
At the tactical and weapons consoles on each of the four SSDs, the weapons
officers turned the various mode switches on their consoles from 'MANUAL'
to
'AUTO', and then held their fingers over the 'ENABLE' buttons, waiting for
the
orders to be given.
"Enable." rasped Sheppard.
"This is the 1MC. Set Enable. I repeat, set Enable," rang the intercom speakers
throughout the four ships' various fighting compartments.
Thousands of hands stabbed down onto an equal number of 'ENABLE' buttons.
AEGIS began to come to life.....
ECM officers on the hundreds of thousands of capships now engaging in battle
all turned their heads as one to look at the new energy source on their
sensors.
Whatever it was, it was made up of four different 'lobes', and the power
behind each
lobe was massive. Sensors pegged each lobe as outputting enough energy to
drive
an Eclipse's axial-mounted superlaser.
The AEGIS XXI SPY-99A1 sensor suites on each of the four SSDs were being
fed
by the inexhaustible feeds of the hypermatter reactors buried deep inside
the ships'
hulls, and with their sheer power, they easily burned through all of the
mass jamming
and stray EM emmissions from weapons fire to gather a clear picture of the
carnage
surrounding Earth.
Enormous distributed computing networks on the SSDs sorted out and identified
the
hundreds of thousands of different targets, ranging from missile-sized to
moon-sized
targets, through Non-Cooperative Target Recognition. On the bridges of the
SSDs,
the four huge holo-tanks in the center of the bridge began to fill up with
a exquisitely
crafted holographic representation of the battle.
Once a complete tally had been taken of the battle, the AEGIS XXI system
began
tracking targets for the SSDs on-board weapons. Each SSD was capable of
tracking
and enaging up to 1,000,000 different targets at one time with the power
of AEGIS XXI.
Missile tasking orders were created, and missiles assigned targets. Inside
millions of
Vertical Launch System tubes on the SSDs, missile tracking systems began
to
spin up in preparation for launch.
Once 'Ready' signals had been recieved from 70% of the missiles in their
tubes,
AEGIS sent the 'Fire' commands.
Hundreds of thousands of tiny hatches on the upper surfaces of the SSDs
opened,
revealing the sharp, deadly nosecones of various types of missiles.
With a thunderous roar that reverberated through the SSDs superstructures,
four *million* missiles launched out of their VLS tubes and headed towards
the
ships that AEGIS had identified as enemy ships.
[On Board the _Cleaners' Bane II_]
Chris O'Farrell looked on in disbelief as the ships allied with the FAQ
began to explode under
sheer onslaught of the new arrivals. Out of the corner of his eye, O'Farrell
saw the glint of
metal out in space through one of the bridge windows.
It was the last thing he saw, for moments later, no less than 43 Shipwreck
II Antiship Missiles
struck the _Cleaner's Bane II_, turning it into a flaming pyre.
Fighter-size craft vaporized as SM-3ER Standard missiles struck them at
0.993 c, while
larger ships, such as Nebulon-B frigates were struck by several SM-3ERs
operating in
their secondary anti-ship roles.
ISD-class ships recieved a pair of massive Shipwreck II Anti-ship missiles,
which were
the size of Corellian Gunships, each capable of reducing an ISD to
glowing space dust.
Thousands of FAQ-allied starships died in the first moments of the first
missile strike. The
survivors turned, and began to engage the four newcomers at extreme range
with their
proton torpedo and concussion missile launchers, as the ships were well
out of range of
their turbolasers.
Unfortunately, such an attack had been one of the tasks which AEGIS XXI
had been
designed for.
More SM3-ER Standards burst out of the four SSDs VLS tubes, targetted on
the
incoming torpedoes and missiles. Not one came within one million kilometers
of the
SSDs.
A second salvo of anti-ship missiles then burst out of the VLS tubes, destroying
the
last remnants of the FAQ forces.
"Sir, all enemy targets have been destroyed. We have 70% of our missile
load left
on the _Hoth_, 69% on _Yavin_, 72% on _Bilbringi_, and 74% on _Endor_.
Estimated number of kills by our missiles: 45,312."
"Excellent. Are you sure these were real, and not mental or holographic
projections?"
asked Sheppard, wary of one of the best ways in a TGOD to get out
of such a bad crack.
"Sir, the Psonics assisting Targetting Control report that they were indeed
live physical
targets, and not fakes." said the officer.
"Excellent. Prepare BLAMs for launch. We have forces to assist on the planet."
"Yessir."
Minutes later, thousands of Boyd Land Attack Missiles leapt from their VLS
tubes
towards Earth. Entering Earth's atmosphere minutes later, they then flew
over known
concentrations of FAQ forces, releasing their deadly antipersonnel/antiarmor
'brilliant'
submunitions, which consisted of 1,000 bomblets per BLAM. Even a single
2 pound
BLAM submunition had enough power to destroy even an AT-AT, and they
utilized a
unique Thermal Detonator core that adjusted the blast radius to deliver
maximum
devastation upon either 'hard' or 'soft' targets.
Entire FAQ Armored divisions died in moments, their tanks becoming burning
funeral
pyres for their crews.
Suddenly, at that moment, on the _Hoth's_ bridge, a greenish Quasispace
portal
opened, and out tumbled Transcend, who was now a fat SOB like Baron Harkonnen
in
"Dune - The Movie".
"Hello, my dear Transcend," Sheppard said.
Transcend gasped, and tried to use his Dark Side powers, but they never
materialized. It was because of all of the cholesterol clogging his arteries
-
the Dark Side as with the Light Side, required a healthy body, and Transcend
was no longer healthy. He now weighed 400 pounds, and had a cholesterol
count which would've killed a normal human being.
"I could kill you, Transcend, or use a deus ex machina to erase you from
the
fabric of Space/Time, but, I'm instead going to strip you of your Dark Side
powers.
Lieutenant Hit-Man, will you do the honors?"
From the darkness next to Sheppard's admiral's chair stepped the LT, his
cyber-eye
burning fiercely. Reaching out with his good hand, he placed it onto Transcend's
chest, and pushed it inside, ala "Temple of Doom" to rip out Transcend's
Force
Essence, represented as a beating heart dripping black blood. Gobbling down
Transcend's Force Essence, Hit-Man's eyes began to blaze with an unearthly
inky-black brillance, and he reached out to try out his new powers on some
hapless
crewer, who he reduced to ashes with his newly boosted Force powers.
"The LT. here is gonna stay out of the action pretty much, and he's only
going to
step in to deal with fools such as you who cannot comprehend, much less
control,
the Dark Side. If you start acting like a demigod again, Transcend, or anyone
else,
you can expect a personal visit from the dear ol' LT." remarked Sheppard.
Transcend could only gasp "Yes, I understand," as his cholesterol-clogged
arteries hardened. Without the Dark Side to keep him alive, Transcend was
about to have a heart attack. Suddenly Sheppard said:
"Oh, and get this fool into Medbay, and clean out his arteries. I don't
want this
moron dying on me."

Suddenly a strange thing happened, LT. Hit-Man belted

belch seemed to be powered by the Dark Side of the Force. In an instant
Transcend was his skinny normal self, with all his dark powers returned,
and
somehow LT. Hit-Man was now bloated and 400 pounds! Transcend smiled as
he
pushed himself back into hyperspace back to the bridge of his stealthed
ship. Rage and fury consuming him he reached out with the Force and caused
every hypermatter reactor in Sheppard's fleet to overload and explode. The
last thing that went through Sheppard's mind as his ship exploded around
him

I may be you ally as I am also pro R&R. But there
are limits to what I
will do, you just fucked with Hit-man... No ONE does that and lives, NO

Luckily, the planetside Republic and
Minion forces were safely hidden
under Capelon Chameleon Nets (Or weren't actually armored divisions :).
And
the last of the buildings had finished warping in. The local commander was
quick to respond.
"Deactivate the chameleon nets, full power to the planetary
shield
generators." Outside the command post, rows of advanced Alliance shield
generators came alive, pulsating with the sheer amount of energy they were
putting out. 20 beams of energy lanced out towards the atmosphere and
spread, encircling the entire planet. Earth was covered by 20 layers of
planetary shielding, each capable of shrugging off repeated Death Star
blasts.
"Fortify our position, I want nothing getting near these things."
Pre-Fab theatre shields activated and the infantry dug themselves in. A
number of repulsortank divisions quickly left, to reinforce the devastated
allied divisions. Meanwhile, inside the theatre shields, one of the Protoss
Stargates came alive and three Loronar Modular Destroyers roared through,
taking defensive positions hovering around the shield generators.

Suddenly a Borg cube appeared, blasting it's way past
the initial defences.
The Borg activated their croniton field generators and dissapeared. The
Borg
popped into space just as Bangladesh started rising into space. The Borg,
intregued by this, immediately assimilated the now orbital Bangladesh.
Transcend, who happened to be in his nearby ship, immediately ordered his
ships gunners to destroy the Borg, a much more immediate threat then the
new
invasion fleet. Turbolasers pounded into the Borg held Bangladesh, and all
were reduced to slag. Of course due to temporal mechanics Transcend never
lost his powers, nor messed with Lt. Hit-Man, nor go on a pasta gorging
spree. He now turned to the invading fleet, and calling on the power of
the
Dark Side of the Force, fueled by his immense rage, he cause the hypermatter
reactors of the intruding fleet to overload and explode, save for the
command ship. Then, using the Force, he ripped appart all remaining weapons
on the command ship leaving Sheppard and Lt. Hit-Man unarmed, but also
unharmed. Then he watched in amazement, as Chris O'Farrell stole the
fearmeister (sp?) and flew it into a nearby piece of debris scratching the
paint. Transcend laughed at the sight and wondered, just what the hell was
O'Farrell thinking...

"Excellent...now I believe it is time to take a more
aggressive role"
Spickard said to himself.
He dispacted the messenger familiars to the allied commanders, their carried
message: "Help is on the way, do not be alarmed when you see them." With
a
flash the curriers arrived and delivered the message to many a stunned
commander. They waited anxiously, hoping for the best.
Suddenly all over the Earth, portals blazed into existance, and out poured
reinforcements for the defenders. The sky was filled with soaring
dragons,
griffons, ki-rin, giant wasps, wyvern, seraph, cherubs, gargoyles and
gargoylites, Baalrog, and phoenix. The battles on the ground were
quicky
joined by giants, elf wizards, powerful elementals, golems, hellhounds,
weres, minotaurs, orgres, orcs, skeletons and mummies, giant snakes, phase
spiders, trolls, unicorns, vampires (were darkness allowed), zombies,
faerie, sprites, pixies, cyclops, high elves, shedim, and insect men. The
enemy forces at sea were swarmed by hydra, giant squid, kraken, mer (ones
not native to earth), hellsharks, and fishmen. All were armed and armored
with high tech gear and magical enhancements. Close behind followed
the
machines of war, enhanced VHT's, Veritechs, grav tanks, destroids, and power
armored troops. These new forces, numbering in the billions, slammed
into
the remaining enemy units still planet-side, combining leathal technology
with arcane magic with devastating effect.
More units arrived to strengthen the defenses around the shield generators,
and more set up additional shields, and finally the earth was covered by
a
shimmering silver-blue glow: the mirror shield. Any hostile action
from
without will be reflected and returned to the sender, it allowed nothing
through that would cause harm to the Earth, and its defenders, bellow.
"The Earth will be cleansed." Spickard thought to himself with satisfaction
.

There was a bliding light and Transcend blinked
a few times as his eyes
fought to adjust to harsh lights of the Med-bay that he had been draged
to
under the orders of Sheppard.
" Nice try fat boy but you still fail to understand the true might of the
dark side." Transcend hear a low grating voice and rolled his fat head to
his right as a shadow fell on him.
" B-B-But it's not posable I killed you and Sheppard." Transcend blubbered
as he felt the icey cold hand fear as the dark lord of the Sith reached
out
for him.
" Hehehe so I let you think you insipet offspring of a Hutt." LT.Hit-Man
snarled as he drove a Neual recorder implant into Transcend's forehead with
a liund, sicking crunch that was over powered Transcend's high, reedy scream
as the loonly LT finshed with the implant.
" Oh relax tubbo I have not hurt you that bad, not yet no oh no you do not
get off that easy." LT.Hit-Man said as he pulled out a PDP (Personal Data
Pad) and began to read the display.
" What the hell are you going to do with me you sick son of a bitch?"
Transcend gasped as he fought down the hellish pain that was crousing though
his mind and body as he begin to sweat buckets of lard as LT.Hit-Man contued
to read from the PDP.
" I'm glad you ask, realy I am." LT.Hit-Man smiled, that cold soul
destroying smile as he leaned over the rolly polly and not so jolly vertion
of Santa Clause.
" Well you see that implant in your thick skull records you every though,
everything you exprnce." LT.Hit-Man said as he pulled out a scaple and
trilled it over the metal fingers of his cybernetic hand as he watched
Transcend begain to soil himself.
" WHY!?" Transcend screamed in terror as LT.Hit-Man slowly held the scaple
over his fear widened eyes.
" This is why lard ass." LT.Hit-Man snarled and pushed a button on the PDP,
there was a small hissing sound around them as the walls rectracked to
reveal row apon row of cloning tanks.
" If you think that I'm going to let you off with just killing you once
you
are very saddly mistaken, mistaken about a great many a thing." LT.Hit-Man
said as he took a moment to smile as Transcend started to cry like a baby.
" Now as Sheppard said it's time to clean out your arteries." LT.Hit-Man
smiled.
Transcend's agonzied screams echoed though out the ship as LT.Hit-Man begain
to slowly skin the doomed fool alive, after every lyer was peeled away
LT.Hit-Man used the Dark Side to squzze the fat from his body.

Kyle read the reports
of the short battle. He immediately ordered two
hundred Fleji class Mobile shipyards to the scene of the battle.
Each mobile shipyard was a massive vessel with
a diameter of 6000 KM
and could build entire Death Stars in days. They could repair even the
most damaged of planetoids in a short period of time. The automated
construction equipment repaired Chris's cripples in a few hours, then in
less then a day they had rebuilt the entire shipyard with new automated
defense equipped with the heaviest of TLs and phasers.
Sixth Imperium technology was not incorporated
in the design of the new
shipyards. It was to far beyond what was the standard in this galaxy. So
they had to rely on upgraded tech for defense but it should be enough.

Sheppard smiled as he watched the events unfold on his monitor as Transcend
shared his delusions in the dream simulator.
"Lt, contact Captain Heckler and tell him that the first wave was successful,
he is to prepare to join the 2nd wave."
On the outer edge of the solar system, the peacekeeper fleet waited in the
shadow of Pluto.
"Contact all Leviathans, tell them to prepare to starburst in, and activate
the Flax."
As soon as the command was given, the Flax shimmered into life, a giant
energy
field 2 light years across, and strong enough to trap any ship trying to
pass
through it. The entire solar system was technically blockaded... nothing
could
get in or out. With no chance for reinforcements.... the FAQ council
and it's
deluded hordes would soon fall.
'Sir, we've received word from Admiral Sheppard.'
"Very well. Full thrust... take us in and arm all frag cannons.... defence
screens to maximum. Have leviathans stand by. As soon as we are within
400,000 metra's launch all prowlers'
The massive fleet quickly accelerated towards Earth. This was it... they
were
outgunned, once his troops began landing.. it would soon be over.

'REPORT!'
'Sir we were able to phasae cloak in time. However the shields are badly

'Sir readings indicate half the fleet was destroyed by the attacks. The

Almost all the CAP fighters are gone...wait they ARE all gone and

'Say agagin'?
'A missle salvo flew too close and turned into jelly. A large amount.

Deep in his command center, Chris turned to his weapons officer.
'Guns, I want all teh tripple phaser turrets set for anti missle work.
NOTHING is to come close to hitting us. Tell me about those Executors'
'Yes sir...they are heavily modified. There are large missle tube numbers
and little turbolasers. most of them have been taken off to fit the tubes
in. They have hypermatter reactors installed like us...and very powerful
sensors. Not as long ranged or accurate as ours, but they can punch through
just about anything'.
'Good. Full power to the superlaser and reflex cannons. Set the reflex
cannons for wider dispersal. They can clear any missles headed this way.

'Sir they are not in formation. We at best will get three of them. No more.'
'It will have to do. Begin firing sequence. Three seconds before we are
to
fire, disengage the phase cloak. Fire the reflex cannons to clear a path
and
crush any missle launches. Then fire the superlaser.'
And it was so.

not hit but the beam pearced through the shields and hull of the other 3

Mars Orbit.
Watching the massive battle take place, and making sure no-one messed
with his graffiti on the Moon, Admiral Nguyen and his fleet waited to see
the outcome of the war.
"Sir, we're tracking four 18km contacts exiting hyperspace over Earth,"
reported a sensor officer. "Designate new contacts SHEP1-4. Also tracking
reality disturbance lifting off near India...wait...Bangledesh is rising
and generating reality distortion field one kilometer from surface.
Strength holding steady at seventeen kiloJaques."
"Very well. Anything else of note?"
"No...wait...Sir, contacts Sierra-Hotel 1 through 4 have powered up
primary sensors. Estimate 1x10^35W per contact, acting as a phased-array
FTL system. We are being interrogated by anti-FAQ IFF...we are
broadcasting neutral. Standby."
"What the kriff is Sheppard up to? He can't possibly need that much
energy, even to swamp pro-FAQ ECM. Unless-"
"SPACE WARNING RED! Tracking numerous missile launches at pro-FAQ forces.
Sensors report Standard, Shipwreck and BLAM launches. Salvo one expended.
Reading several thousand wrecks. Salvo two firing...VAMPIRE VAMPIRE
INCOMING MISSILES...designate RAID-1."
"SHIT! The fool didn't fix his systems - his IFF pegged us as hostile!
Systems to fleet-defense mode, all weapons engage!"
Suddenly, the massive neutral fleet activated their massive weapon
batteries. High-power low-bleed lasers began knocking down antiship
missiles at long range, missile trajectories calculated for several light
minutes. Inside of four light seconds, medium-range antimissile systems
engaged. Over 98% of the incoming were destroyed. One managed to break
into one light second and was promptly destroyed.
"Sir, no further missiles incoming. Salvo three has destroyed several
pro-FAQ armies. Another force has entrenched themselves under a Class IV
shield."
"Excellent. Fold into lunar orbit NOW."
The massive fleet folded, and arrived in lunar orbit...just as a FLAX
field raised.
"Warning, sir, FLAX field raised...stardrives inoperable."
"Very well. Target Bangledesh with the Ginzuishou cannons. Force that
field down but don't otherwise harm it."
"Aye sir. Hypermatter reactors at full power, three seconds to maximum
technological charge on the crystals. Serenity has charged her crystal to
maximum safe levels."
"Fire."
From the Fleet, thousands of bright pink and white beams slammed into the
floating country of Bangledesh. The field was no match for the immense
force of Order imposed on it, and the Reality Distortion field and
accompanying generators collapsed (in the case of the latter, literally).
Bangeldesh was now defenseless...but was left alone. For now.
"Open a channel to Grand Admiral Sheppard...I want a word with him.
Commence firing on the moon, I want bigger text. And prepare to generate
distortion field to block Sheppard's heavies."

""Damage Report!" Sheppard shouted.
"Sir! The _Endor_ is gone, and the _Bilbringi_ and _Yavin_ are slightly
damaged!"
"What happened?" asked Sheppard, holding a hand up to a cut on his head.
"Sir, it appears that the _Cleaners' Bane II_ managed to phase cloak just
before
the main body of our SSMs hit it, allowing her to escape major damage. It
appears
that O'Farrell decided to try to use his Axial-mounted superlaser, but due
to heavy
damage to his targeting system as well as his sensors, he was only able
to hit the
_Endor_, even though the _Bilbringi_, and _Yavin_ were lined up right
next to it.
He seems to have escaped into hyperspace for the moment."
"For the moment," agreed Sheppard. "Begin reloading the VLS tubes, and repairing
battle damage. Also, be on the lookout for sudden surprise attacks
from O'Farrell or
anyone else. Begin uploading the Boydpoon missiles, even though they're
less powerful
than our Shipwreck IIs and slower. On the other hand, they can engage phase-cloaked
targets, are heavily sensor-stealthed to reduce the amount of time an enemy
has to engage
them before impact, and can pursue targets into hyperspace."
"Sir, incoming transmission from a command ship in lunar orbit."
"Put it up in the main holotank." ordered Sheppard.
"Yessir."
A face materialized in the holotank over the minature tactical representation
of the
solar system - the face of Phong.
"Long time no see Phong. How're you?" asked Sheppard.
"You attacked my ships even though we were transmitting a neutral IFF code!"
Phong yelled, his face reddening.
"What version of IFF do you have?" Sheppard asked.
"The 'Millenium IFF' by Microsith." replied Phong.
"Ah. That piece of crap. It's completely incompatible with the old IOS
(Imperial Operating System) that the AEGIS XXI system uses. Microsith
even took out real-mode IOS support for Millenium. Fools. I suggest you
switch back to IOS for mission-critical applications such as IFF. IFF may
not seem like a mission critical system, but when the battle is confusing,
sometimes the only way you can effectively fight is to put the AEGIS XXI
system into 'AUTO' mode."
"AEGIS, if it cannot recognize an IFF signal, automatically designates
it as an 'unknown'. It is *not* good to be an 'unknown' when AEGIS is
set to automatic engagement and in 'go-to-war' mode." remarked Sheppard.
"Oh, nice try on Bangladesh, Phong."
"What do you mean?" Phong asked. And then he noticed that
Bangladesh was back to full operatiional status, and was now
inexplicably twice as big.
"It's stupid trying to attack a ship that uses the Infinite Improbability
Drive. Really stupid. I suggest you give that thing a wide berth."
Suddenly, Sheppard's image was bathed in red, and Phong could
faintly hear the sound of an alert klaxon wailing in the background.
[Back on the Hoth]
"Sir! the _Bane_ is back! AEGIS is engaging!" screamed a weapons officer
on the _Hoth's_ bridge.
Only moments ago, the _Cleaner's Bane II_ had dropped out of Hyperspace,
her bow pointed directly at the Hoth's bridge tower, the axial superlaser
emitter
glowing bright red.
"Sir, She's powering up her superlaser for a shot!"
"I know that!" shouted Sheppard.
"Focus all available arrays onto the _Bane_! Full power
to AEGIS!" he yelled, pushing the button that slid down
gold-plated neutronium armor over the bridge windows, shielding
them from the fury of energies that he was about to unleash from
the SPY-99A1 'billboard' sensors.
On board the _Bane_, O'Farrell saw multiple launches from the three remaining
ships of Sheppard's fleet. Odd. He'd thought he'd destroyed three, not one...must
have been a sensor ghost from his heavily damaged forward sensors.
"Sir, the incoming missiles are slower, but are very, very, very hard to
track.
They keep disappearing from the sensors, and as a result, automated
engagement of them isn't possible!"
"Shit!" exclaimed Chris. "Go to manual and throw up a flak barriage! I don't
want anything getting through!"
The entire bow of the _Bane_ suddenly was bathed in green light, as hundreds
of small antiaircraft batteries lit off, wreathing her in flak bursts. At
that moment,
all hell broke loose.
"Sir! Detecting massive energy emissions from contacts Sierra-Hotel One
through Three!"
At that moment, the massive onslaught of energy blasting out of the three
surviving AEGIS
ships washed over the _Bane_, microwaving crewers in the bow close to the
outer hull - making
them explode at their posts, and frying every weapons emplacement and sensor
on the _Bane's_
bow, as well as fragging the delicate superlaser emitter.
Control panels overloaded all over the _Bane_, and some exploded, despite
the heavy-duty
surge supressors installed. Such was the power of the SPY-99A1 sensor system
at close range.
Flames flickered on the bridge from destroyed control panels, filling the
bridge with noxious
smoke, causing Chris to choke.
"Damage report!" he shouted.
"Sir! Forward hull sections A through C aren't responding! All sensors in
those areas are
off-line, as well as weapons! The superlaser is ruined!" screamed O'Farrell's
XO.
"Shit, turn on the phase cloak and do a microjump! I don't care where! Just
get us out
of here!" shouted Chris, his mind attempting to make sense of what had just
happened.
Moments later, the _Bane_ jumped, but not fast enough to evade the 70 Boydpoon
missiles
that had been launched at his fleet within seconds of his arrival to attack
Sheppard, due to
the AEGIS system's automated engagement capabilities.
Unlike the massive explosions the Shipwreck IIs brought, the Boydpoon missiles
could
be felt as low 'thuds' on the deckplates. The _Bane_ dropped out of hyperspace
much
earlier than they had planned, leaking plasma from her ruined main engines.
"Damn! Report!" yelled Chris for what seemed like the hundredth time.
Sir, _Lion's Bane_, _Inflexible_, _Merciless_, and _Onslaught_ have been
destroyed by
whatever Sheppard launched at us. _O'Farrell's Wrath_, _Exterminator_, _Eradicator_,
and
_Extinguisher_ have suffered varying degrees of damage rom those new weapons."
"And what about us?"
"Sir, the concentrated energy from the so-called AEGIS system on those ships
killed
about 10,000 crewmen in the forward compartments instantly, popping them
like
a hamster in a microwave (Old LA game) and we have 45,337 wounded
right now
in our medbays suffering from varying degrees of radiation sickness. The
hyperdrive
and main engines are toast from that missile strike that hit us even though
we were
phase cloaked at the time."
"Any chance of repairing this damage?"
"Yessir, but Engineman Lars..."
"*Engineman Lars*!" exclaimed Chris.
"Sorry sir, Chief Engineer Loed was killed in the strikes that took out
our hyperdrive
and engines. Lars is the highest ranking engine-room crewmember to survive,
so
he's acting Chief Engineer."
"Ah. Carry on." replied Chris.
"As I was saying, Lars estimates it will take at least 72 hours to restore
partial main power,
and another 48 to repair the hyperdrive. Fortunately, we seem to be stuck
some 3 lightyears
out of the solar system, well away from the battle, so we have a good chance
of surviving."
"Shit. Is our comm system still working?" O'Farrell asked, grasping at straws
desperately.
"Nossir. The main emitters and recievers on the hull were fried by the rads,
but the secondary
system can be brought online in a few hours, although it has a shorter range
- only 10 LY,
compared to 100 for the main system."
"Damn. At least we can call for a tow to the nearest yard," with that, Chris
turned to face the Sol System,
a faint dot in the void.
_This isn't over Sheppard, not by a long shot!_ he thought.

Subject: [WAR] Neutralization of Bangledesh
Newsgroups: alt.startrek.vs.starwars
Date: 2000/10/08
Hearing about the devastation the nation of Bangladesh has wrecked on the
many varied
forces arrayed throughout the Sol system, Da Jedi came to the conclusion
that it must be
eliminated at all costs. For him to accomplish this, he needed to
find 3
things: the Heart
of Gold, Marvin, and a replicator.
According to legend, there is a building at a certain college rumored to
be
a spaceship in
disguised powered by a solar fusion reactor. Well, today, those students
found out they were
true, as suddenly, the mysterious building named after a chief NASA admin
took off under
the control of Da Jedi and set course towards Ursa Minor to track down
the
last known
whereabouts of Ford Prefect and Zaphod Beeblebrox.
As this was such a small ship, it barely registered on the screens of the
various combatants
and made it safely past the blockade. Engaging the warp core and
accelerating past
Warp 9.999, he arrives on Ursa Minor in a matter of hours. In a fit
of
improbability, who
should he almost collide with but Ford and co. in the very ship he was
seeking? Hailing
them, Da Jedi asks them for a lift, offering to pay with the large stock
of
Pan-Galactic
Gargle Blasters that just happened to be in the basement storage of the
former Low building.
With Dent's bumbling about the ship, Da Jedi manages to seize the Heart
of
Gold and send
it towards Earth. As it is infinitely impossible the Bangladesh will
be
harmed due to its infinite
improbability shield, Da Jedi, after jettisoning Ford and Co. in his stolen
building, beams
Marvin into the central computing facility of Bangladesh.
Da Jedi, seeing that things were just too improbable for Marvin to cause
the
computers to
suffer terminal depression, sets the infinite improbability generator to
overload, and jams the
accelerator to the floor, locked onto a collision course with the improbable
nation of Bangladesh.
The collision has the desired effect, although with all the infinite
improbability the explosion released,
something had to happen. For instance, the in the FAQ some had carved
into
the moon
mysteriously mutated into a "U" so the message now read F.U.Q. Da
Jedi, at
the center of the maelstrom,
found himself in the total perspective vortex. Lt. Hitman was stripped
of
his force powers and became an
ensign under the command of Janeway. MKSheppard found himself scrubbing
the
garbage compacter just
as Tarkin gave the order to fire at the Battle of Yavin. Chris O'
Farrell
found himself the sole owner of the
Fearmiester, and Commander Theela and the Disciples of Wong became master
of
known space

location.

Noting the power of this newcomer, the Worldship quickly

beside the construct. The SSC fired on the Worldship again and again,
releasing massive energies, but this was hopeless against the universe

Newsgroups: alt.startrek.vs.starwars

[Pacific Ocean]
The huge supertanker steamed slowly towards the US, with its cargo
of Persian Gulf crude. Suddenly, without warning, it blew up in
a massive fireball, consuming the oil totally.
In the flaming debris field, several human heads popped out of the ocean,
and
after surveying the wreckage, dove under, fish tails splashing the surface.
The Sirensha had struck. Soon, unless all Pro ASVS Council forces ceased
operations, they would begin Unrestricted Commerce Raiding, sinking all
ships on the ocean's surface, preventing vital shipments of oil, aluminum,
paper,
iron ore, bauxtite, etc. from getting where it was needed.
The global economy would grind to a halt. Millions would starve and freeze
to death
without the vital grain and heating oil shipments so needed by the countries
of
the world.
Such an action was drastic, but drastic measures were needed. All ASW countermeasures
were completely ineffective against the Sirensha, as they had no need of
clunky technology
to transport them underwater.
If SEATO had come to a halt on land against unexpected pro-Council resistance,
then
they would unleash their natural abilities and blackmail the ASVS council
through the
nation-states that the ASVS Council members lived in, threatening total
economic ruin
unless the Council leaders were turned over to SEATO forces for summary
justice.
Meanwhile, Sheppard's remaining 3 AEGIS XXI SSDs hyperjumped out of the
Sol system
towards the system containing the hidden Boyd reserves, where thousands
of combat-ready
starships, all manned by millions of Boyd Clones were being activicated
and worked up
in preparation for a final drive to victory. No one, not even Sheppard knew
where
they were - but no matter - Boyd would find him. He always did; it was as
if though the two of
them were linked telepathically.

And without warning, over one thousand droid-manned,
submersible-sized,
fusion-powered fast attack subs moved in, slowly carving up the U-boat

Turns out, there are two Earths now, due to some type

other ended up in a binary orbit of Transcend-controlled Coruscant. Then

in a binary orbit, with the Moon in its own orbit? I tried to straighten
out
a big mess, and what do I do, thanks to Graeme? I ended up creating a bigger

At any rate, Cmdrwilkins' fleet is still in orbit of Transcend-controlled

"I recommended that we send the probability controllers against the

their outer shells in a furious descent. As the transports landed,
thousands of troops disembarked, and took up positions to control every
major city on Earth.
Back in space, the dice continued their slow roll towards the Bangladesh.
Sheppard noticed their approach, and laughed, nothing could breach the
infinite improbability drive's shielding effect. Unfortunately for

"*What devastation?*"
All the Bangladesh has done is sit around, doing nothing, but cause
random shit to happen. It is neutral. It has not fired any shots. Yet
you keep trying to destroy it.
WHO DARES DESTROY THE INFINITE IMPROBABILITY?
Anyway, after the heart of gold came, we discovered a little known fact
about
improbability fields....It's highly damn improbable that they'll merge,
and get even
BIGGER, and at the time it was still set at 33 billion, from improbating
the borg....
draw your own conclusions
IN SHORT:
Bangladesh is totally neutral. Our only purpose is to cause improbability.
If you wanna turn someone into a sheep, just tractor 'em near us. We'll
take over from there...heh heh heh.

Kyle's flagship was still
advancing onward. No sign of Rog yet, but
another had chosen to challenge him. A fool hardy move to say the least.
The threat was minor so he ignored it and continued on, but he did order
patrol group 85 to engage the enemy ship.
Commodore Juitil commanded the 85th patrol group.
He approached the
fleet of "Heckler" and from twenty light minutes out he went to rapid
fire on the hyper launchers. His eight battleships and escorts closed at
a steady .85c while the fighters swept ahead at .95c.
Heckler was amazed as missiles suddenly dropped
from hyperspace, each
missile would then erupt into short lived black holes powerful enough to
collapse planets. Most of them did not destroy ships out right, the
ships were to fast and maneuverable to get direct hits, a few missiles
though did appear with in the targets. Those ships died almost instantly
as the massive gravitational forces collapsed the ships into
nothingness. Other ships shuddered from the massive tidal forces
erupting around them. The tidal energy from the dozens of short lived
black holes was stressing the ships far beyond any design tolerances.
Soon the 85th would reach energy range.

Presently the two surviving Super class destroyer
came alongside, their 8
klick length dwafed by the damaged eclipse. However they had been installed
with heavy duty Borg tractor beams and they locked and and dragged the
_Cleaners Bane II_ into slipstream dirve, heading for the Gamma quadrent
shipyards. The hundred and fourty or so ships that were left followed suit.
For now, the 8 corps deployed on Earth were on their own.
In the chaotic blue space of slipstream, personal were beamed between the
3
major ships. Most of the wonded were beamed to the Federation designed
starships. They were better set up for major emergencies. At the same time,
many of the reserve crew from the _Intimidator XI_ and _O'Farrell's Fist
III_ were transported to the Bane. Soon they had a greater then full crew.
As they dropped out of Slipstream a few minuites later at the Gamma Quadrent
shipyards, the hull breaches had been sealed completly. Soon the Bane had
docked into the massive slipway. More then a slipway, it was a massive
replicator system powered by a copy of the 2nd Death Stars Hypermatter
reactor and fed by a nearby asteriod belt. A blue glow came over thedamaged
sections (which had been evacuated) and matter slowley reformed, the hull
taking on a Blue glow. Within a few minuites, the damage had been repaired
and the ship was as good as new. Over the next few hours, a major computer
and powergrid restructure was under way. The Computer was remade with
bionerual gel packs, which were imune to the high voltage electricity. The
hull plating was reinforced with materials that would block another
microwave or major radiation attack. Finaly, the targeting software for
the
myrid of pulse phaser cannons was upgraded with fast tracking turret
technology that would help ensure no missles would get through again.
Within another 10 hours, Chris' fleet was better then new (except in
numbers).

"I think it's time we get back in the action, Azonia.
Enough running.
All ships... De-fold!" So was the order from Khyron's Commandship, and
so it was obeyed.
The Monitor and the accompanying 318,000 odd Zentraedi Warships de-
folded in the Gamma Quadrant.
Soon his lieutenant had the report back.. "Ah.. Shipyards. But the
enemy was just leaving. No matter. He'll not be receiving repairs
again..."
"Azonia.. Have Thelea's technicians completed repairs on the Monitor?"
The blue-haired woman smirked back over the still open hyperwave
communications system. "The Monitor is fully operational and recharged,
Khyron."
"Then we'll attack the shipyards."
The Zentraedi fleet folded again.
And, several minutes later, defolded 250,000km from the Shipyards,
optimal range for the Particle Beam Cannons and the Reflex Cannons.
Onboard the shipyard facilities, the defenders reacted with utter
desperation. "Signalling the fleet for help.. Damn! Damn! They're
jamming.. The power is incredible.. What is that thing!?"
On the bridge of the monitor, Azonia gave the order. "Fire the Grand
Cannon immedietly!"
In the control center for the Shipyards, everything was prepared for a
defensive stand against the hordes of ships as they closed, when the
massive power spike was detected. "No choice," the shipyard commander
ordered. "We've got to phase cloak! Engage the Phase Cloak!"
An ensign moved to fulfill the order, but the beam from the Grand
Cannon was already lancing out in a massive cone of Death that consumed
the entire shipyard facility before it could phase-cloak, vapourizing
it without a trace remaining.
The remaining defensive fighters and picket ships engaged their warp
drives to warp in on the Zentraedi fleet, up close and personal.
From there, Thelea watched from Azonia's flagbridge as the Fighters
and Pickets tried to engage; but quite literally millions of Mecha,
thousands carried by each of the 318,000 capital ships, were firing
missiles and beam weapons, and the particle beams and wide-beam reflex
cannon salvoes ripped apart the defensive forces, supported by the
shorter-ranged turbolasers which could fire at those ranges. In three
minutes, it was all over, with no capital ships lost and minimal mecha
losses.
Thelea was smirking as she turned towards the giantess. "Most
excellent, Commander Azonia. Now if Sheppard can defeat Chris
O'Farrel's Forces again, he cannot return here for repairs."
"Indeed, Thelea, but my main concern now is our own reconstruction.
The alliance shall be one of equals.. IF you can reproduce the Robotech
Factory Satellite!" Azonia reminded her, grimly.
"Just give me a little time." With that, Thelea headed off to speak
with Mike January.
Meanwhile, on Khyron's flagship.. "We've done all we can here. We'll
have more targets.. Sooner than later! Special plot fifteen.. Order all
ships to engage their fold drives!"
The Zentraedi fleet and the Grand Cannon Monitor folded, and stayed
folded, heading for parts unknown.
The actual battle was Sheppard's, now, but Chris would have no chance
to repair his cripples again.

Meanwhile.
A DoW comsat glided freely around the Earth. Suddenly 12 fighters decloaked
and blasted it into smitherines.
"Alpha Squadron, target dead ahead. Wong hospital transport, prepare to
engage."
"Roger that."
The fighters faded back into darkness as they approached to hospital cruiser,
carrying wounded Irishmen back to Earth from the front lines in space. It's
fighter escort, six Tie Advanced fighters, continued their vigil, unaware
of
the events about to transpire."
"Sir I object, this is boring..." said number four in a whiney voice.
"I know pilot, but we wont be out here much longer, we're nearly at Earth
dock and..."
The Wing Leaders transmision was cut short as several green bolts tore
through the hull and obliterated the fighter.
"What the hell!?!" cried two.
"We've got incoming!"
"Alpha Squadron, break and attack!"
The other fighters decloaked behind the T/As and quickly dispatched them.
"Target's clear, she's all yours Harvey."
"Attention attacking fighters, please break off your attack, this is a
hospital ship, we surrender... please call of your attack."
"Black Hawks take no prisoners." Said the Alpha Squadron pilot as he fired
a
pair of torpedoes, one struck the aft, and struck the bridge.
A brillant flash of light filled the area as the ship exploded in a firey
blaze. The attacking fighters cloaked, and quietly left the scene.

'Captain we are receiveing a priotiry one transmission

They are under attack!' Chris looked up from his boards startled.
'Who? Sheppard'
'No sir. Its Thelea!'
Chris gritted his teath and odred the fleet to shit to attack formation
and
come about. It was far too late though. He watched in high detail via a
tac
link with a phased cloaked perimiter sensor staion as the grand cannon blew
his primary shipyard into atoms. The few fighters on cap far enough
away to
evade destruction counter attacked but were quickly overwhelmed by the
impossible numbers of ships and mecca that were launched against them. The
3rd fleet arrived a minuite after Thelea had jumped out. He had other
shipyards, but none as big as this. He was about to give orders to jump
out
when several giant planatiods moved in, build NEW shipyards and left.

A single Battlepod had been left for recon; Such
a small thing, with
one life-form, had escaped notice in the massive radiation aftermath of
the destruction. It had kept Khyron fully up on the events. As soon as
the Planetoids had left, the full Zentraedi fleet and the Grand Cannon
had jumped in again on the far side of the massive new shipyard. The
massive new shipyard which Chris O'Farrel had yet to provide personnel
for. Empty and unmanned, it simply served as a block to keep his
sensors from detecting the defold operation.
"Fire the Grand Cannon!" Azonia was rather getting addicted to those
words, as, for the second time in less than twenty four hours, the
awesome energy was released, blowing the shipyards clean in half, but
not wide enough to vapourize them; Just the center third.
Chris looked on from the bridge of his ship in stunned disbelief as
the massive wave of energy came out of nowhere, the shipyards ceasing
to exist, and, in the space of less than a second, traveling at barely
sublight velocities, the awesome particle beam hit his fleet.
However, much of it's energy used by vapourizing the central third of
the shipyards, the beam merely washed over most of the ships; For
Chris' flagship, the shields were brought down by fifty percent. For
the two SSDs, the shields were lost completely.
For all the smaller ships.. Blown apart, vapourized.
Then, Khyron's personal squadron came on, just as the escorts for the
Monitor opened fire, chewing up the two drifting thirds of the Shipyard.
Chris had been thrown out of his command chair and stunned by the
awesome impact, and it had happened to fast to order the phase-cloaks
engaged.
What Khyron's squadron did next was totally insane.
He de-folded inside Chris' fleet. His massive, boxy and yet organic
looking 9.6km long flagship de-folded less than a kilometer from
O'Farrel's flagship and fired it's reflex cannon point-blank, as did
the other ships fitted with them, turbolasers adding to lash down the
shields.
However, the SSDs were not as lucky; 4.6km Battlecruisers, 2.4km long
Heavy Cruisers, 3.6km long Strike Cruisers, the assortment of vessels,
the 1.8km long destroyers... All told, perhaps half a dozen ships of
varying sizes de-folded INSIDE O'Farrel's three surviving ships.
This, of course, caused them to explode immedietly. It took the two
SSDs with them, and caused huge amounts of damage to the shieldless
flagship of O'Farrel's, blowing open the armour from the inside out.
Taking advantage of this, Khyron in his flagship and the remainder of
his personal squadron raked the torn and damaged hull of O'Farrel's
flagship with their particle beam cannons.
Khyron "The Backstabber" had just shown how he'd earned his nickname.
Never lost one battle, but always killed more of his own troops than
the enemy did......
O'Farrel now only had seconds to escape or die. The Superlaser was out
of action from a destroyer de-folding inside it and shredding it, and
the other damage was horrendous; He might be able to take on Khyron's
squadron, but the main body of the Zentraedi fleet was nearly finishing
off the remnants of the shipyard, and would be in range less than a
minute after that...

"Boyd ISDs dropping out of Hyperspace. Boyd ISDs
dropping out of
hyperspace...." The Zentraedi reporting that frowned slightly, then
looked up to the glaring Khyron, who'd just received the report that
the shields were down to twenty percent. Most of the weapons of Chris'
flagship had been knocked out, but they were still pummeling his own.
"Lord Khyron, the Boyd Collective forces wish permission to disable
and board the enemy vessel. They want, quote, 'Convert Chris O'Farrel
into a member of the Boyd Collective as a Boyd Grunt.'"
Khyron laughed insanely. "Let them, then! With a new factory satellite
almost complete, nobody can challenge the might of the Zentraedi. We
will leave O'Farrel for the Boyd Collective!"
"All ships... Fold out on course Zeta!"
The survivors of Khyron's Squadron broke off the attack and ceased
jamming.. Which showed to Chris the true reason. Moments later, they,
and the full Zentraedi Warfleet, folded again, this time.. Their next
target, wherever they de-folded, totally unknown.
The rebuilt shipyards, of course, were annihilated.
The Boyd ISDs, 20 of them led by a Boyd-Allegiance class Light
Cruiser, engaged O'Farrel's flagship viciously. Though his remaining
cannons fought back and destroyed five of the Boyd ISDs, the only
reason he lasted that long was because they were using only Ion
Cannons, modified with Boyd-tech to be effective against bio-neural gel
packs.
With growing fear, O'Farrel's flagship was disabled, and the remaining
Boyd ships docked around it. Quickly, they began to board, Boyd Grunts
attacking and en-Boyding anyone they found, approaching the bridge of
O'Farrel's flagship, steadily, intent on turning him into a member of
the Boyd Collective.. As a Boyd Grunt.
One enemy had left.. To leave a greater terror in it's place!

Chris brought his TR-23 modifed phaser riffle around
and with a series of
rapid fire pulses mowing down ANOTHER squad of Boyd grunts advancing at
the
ruined blast doors.
'MAT GIVE ME GOOD NEWS' Chris shouted at one of the few bridge crew member
not blasting away at the endless waves of clones.
'ITS ALMOST...GOT IT!' shouted Mat in triumph as power flowed into a device
burried deep in the heart of the _Bane_ where no Boyd clone would arrive
for
a long time yet. Chris wasted no time hitting the comlink that would connect
him with all personal on board the _Cleaners Bane II_, _Intimidator XI_
and
_O'Farrell's Fist III_.
'ALL PERSONAL INITATE CODE GAMMA OMEGA ONE NOW NOW NOW!. Mowing down another
line of grunts charging in, Chris slapped what appeared to be an ordinary
transporter amrband and waited. He was seconds away from being grabbed by
a
Boyd grunt when he and 90% of his crew (these are the ones that survived
the
attacks) shimmered and disolved in teh blue of a transporter. The beams
were
sent through a microwormhole opened INSIDE the bane in a cavern deep within
the ship.
'WHAT IS GOING ON' rored Khyron from his throne. Reports from the Boyd
clones stated that the entire crew which had been holding them off had just
disapeared. Khyron did not like this. Thelea liked it even less.
'I want to know WHY the-'
Khyron was cut off as the containment fields on over 1 million tons of
antimatter on each SSD collapsed. A titanic explosion and shockwave reached
out from the site sending Khyron's flagship spinning away out of control
and
vaping more then 40 thousand ships docked or in close proximity. Thelea
was
smahed against a wall increadable G-Forces pulling at her until the ship
stabalised. She was alive thanks to being a Chiss who could withstand those
forces. The same could not be said for Khyron......
***
A few seconds later, the crews of all three ships materalised all over the
_O'Farrells Revenge_. It sat in the middle of Chris's primary shipyard
hidden in the middle of a giant asteriod. Some twenty five kilometers long
it looked somewhat like a cross between an Executor and a Nebulon B-2
modified frigate. It had a pair of winglike apendages spreading off at the
front, but at a much shallower angle then a Frigates. These wings contained
eight enhanced reflex cannons. 4 more were mounted at the back of the ship.
Between them of course was a superlaser, though as powerful as the 1st Death
stars and able to fire for up to 7 seconds. Its hull was a tritanium /
durasteal plating covered with 5cm of neutronium gold alloy protecting it
from any of Sheppards ECW and giving it a low golden look. Liberaly
outfitted with thousands of PPC's in tripple turrets, Q-Torp torpedo
turrets, Phaser stips, Very Heavy turbolasers and over 20 wings of
Fighters...she was a powerful Dreadnaught.
Around her were 3 Executors, 8 Supers and 1000 of the enhanced Federation
ships. It took a mear hour to crew all the ships and evacuate the base.
It
took a few seconds to reduce the base to scrap. They had no need for it.
In
a series of massive blue flashes, the task force lept towards Earth in the
blur of slipstream to repay Sheppard in full for the chaos he had
caused...

'What the hell is that?' Asked Alpha 3. And that was the last words
he ever
spoke, as three leviathan gunships starbursted into view, opening fire on
the
cloaked ship and obliterating it instantly.
'What the kriffin hell? They can detect us, but how?' 3 more Hawks
flared
briefly as there atmosphere was ignited and ships disintegrated.
On board the lead Leviathan 'Talyn' Captain Crais was directing the battle,
using his synaptic link with the ship... these Leviathans no longer needed
pilots like the ones before them. They shared a direct link with a
peacekeeper.. each one specially chosen for the task. And like all leviathans,
they had many senses and could easily detect the cloaked vessels.
Within moments the gunships had wiped out all but one of the Black Hawks....
Captain Crais opened his comms channel 'To the last remaining pilot, this
was
just a demonstration.. If you attack a hospital vessel again, we shall
wipe
you from existence. Carry this message home. This is why we fight... to
protect those that cannot protect themselves, that is why the council must
fall, and that is why we will never give up."
Moments later the leviathans starbursted out... as if they had never been
there.

Uh, Chris, just to get this straight, the Intimidator and O'Farrel's
Fist were both destroyed by Zentraedi Warships (Multiple each)
defolding inside of them.
Your ship was the only one the Boyd Collective boarded..
And, Khyron and fleet had already fled via fold-drive as the Boyd
Collective ships opened fire with Ion Cannons, so they were long gone.
Very long gone.
You got the 15 ISDs and Allegiance, granted, but Lord Khyron's fleet
escaped without further harm. I'm a daemoness when it comes to sneak
attacks, after all, and since I keep on letting you live, I figure fair
is fair....
You sure have enough ships for it.
Incidently, Zentraedi are HUGE versions of humans, if you've never
watched Robotech, and they don't die easy; Tougher even than Chiss.
Otherwise, nice post, but sorry....
I actually did give you a chance to strike back, but you didn't
respond fast enough, and I found out that Sheppard was mobilizing more
Boyd ships, so.. I struck again.

LT.Hit-Man smiled as he watched the ASVS wide war
he found the pitful atemps
of Transcend and Robert Healey most amusing but as will all good things
they
must come to an end.
" What are your order's my Master?' the black cloaked figuer asked as he
knlet before the throne of human skulls that LT.Hit-Man was sitting on as
the war got into full swing.
" Your training is now complet my young student, now go and kill the ones
who had dared to oposse me, rip there souls from there bodies and feed them
to the Dark Side." LT.Hit-Man said in a quite wisper that was more terrfing
then and rage filled scream for blood.
Chris O'Ferrl smiled to himself as the darkness in his heart and mind
wispered there secrets to him.
" As you command my Master, they will suffer as no being has suffered
before." he said with a snarl as he griped the hilt of his of his day-glo
plad light saber.
" Do not fail me or it will be you who will suffer as no beiing as ever
suffered before." LT.Hit-Man said as bolts of black force lighting danced
across the finger tips of his rised right hand.
" They will be wiped out, all of them and at last we will have our revenge."
Chris said as he got to his feet.
" Go and bring death to all who dare to rise a hand agent the Sith."
LT.Hit-Man said as he picked up the blood filled skull that he used as a
drinking mug and took a deep drink of the blood that had been slowly crushed
from the last apretince that had failed him, savoring the echo of fear and
pain as well as it's hot rich coppery taste.
Chris was smriking as he marched out of the dark strong hold of his dreaded
Master he would not fail the Dark Side would givie him the power he need
to
stomp his foes into the ground one by one.
Transcend was sitting back and enjoying his moment of trumph when there
was
a snap hiss fallowed by a blind plad blur that cut his beer can in two,
staning his paint leg.
Transcend jumped to his feet his light saber in hand as he a day-glo pink
blade sprung to life.
" WHO DA-" Transcent's world die off as he finds himself looking into
Chris's hate filled eyes.
" So you thought you could fool my Master LT.Hit-Man by framing me for the
theft of his ship." Chris said as the two of them began to cercile one
another.
" You think you can defeat me?" Transcend asked in a contempt filled voice
as he jabed at Chirs who paried the jab and ountered with a back hand slash
that Transcend lept back from.
" I don't think I know I can kick your ass." Chris said in a cold dead voice
as he launched a brage of slashes that had Transcend backing away from him
as he blocked the murderous onslought.
" It is you who will die, your death will be a long and painful one I asure
you of that." Transcend sanrled as he spun out of the way of the last slash
from Chris and relalating with a low sweep of this light saber that would
have cut Chris's legs out from under him had not Chris luached himself into
a force boosted sumersulat as he tried to decapatate Transcent who manged
to
duck be he was not quick enough and Chris's blade shaved the hair off of
the
the top of his head.
" YOU SON OF A BITCH!!" Transcend screamed as he felt his hair being shinged
from his head as a cold wave of fear washed over him.
" IT TOOK ME SIX HOURS TO DO MY HAIR UP RIGHT!" Transcend screamed as he
spun around and swung at Chris's back as he laned but Chris blocked his
blade by putting his own blade over his back.
" Oh whaaaa cry me an ocean or two you low down jawa kriffing shit head!"
Chris retored as he used his light saber's blade to force Transcend's
blade
over his head as he droped to one knee.
" NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE KRIFFS WITH MY HAIR AND LIVES!" Transcend howled
as he back fliped over Chris who had tried to gut him with his plad light
saber.
" Just call me Mr.No One you you gungan's cum stain." Chris said with a
very
curel smile and equaly curel tone of voice as he brought his blade crashing
down on Transcend's hidous day-gol pink blade that had nearly implaed him.
Transcend was to enraged to say anything as Chris is pushing down on there
locked blades then with a smile he strechs out his hand and blasts Chris
with a force push that sends Chris flying though the air, Transcend stands
over Chris who is laid out flat on his back, his light saber having fallen
down a hugh ass air shaft(it's a SW thing)
" Now you will die you son of a wookie whore!" Transcend says as he is about
to cleave Chris in two with his day-glo pink blade.
Chris starts to luagh cuasing Transcend to fualter for a split second, '
No
it is you who dies!' Chris snarls venoumsly as a hugh flesh colored light
saber blade bruns though the goin of his black combat paints, spearing the
shocked Transcend though the chest.
Chris takes a moment to wtach as Transcend's light saber falls fromk his
dying hands as pure terror filled the doomed man's eyes then Chris rips
Transcend's soul from his dying body and feeds it to the Dark Side.
With a mental flick of the mind the huge flesh colored light saber blade
winks into nothingness as Chris force pushes Transcend's lifeless, souless
body away from him.
After getting to his feet Chris undoes his now crouchles black combat paints
and unhooks the moded cup with bulit in light saber.
" And Kriff you to asswipe.' Chris says as he looks into Transcends
lifeless, terror widened eyes before releving himself on Transcend's corpes.
" Ahh Much Better." Chris says as he does up his holey paints before heading
back to _ The Fearmister_ that his Master LT.Hit-Man had loaned him for
his
mission of death and terror.

Suddenly there was a strange crackling, force lighting
came from nowhere and
the was an odd cloud shaped glow enveloping the room. Suddenly a massive
flash of energy slammed into Transcend's lifeless body. Lightning coursed
though the body as a strange cackling could be heard. Suddenly Transcend
rose, and looked at the insane clone of O'Farrell with pure rage in his
eye's. "I kriffing hate clones, and I kriffing hate dying even more, it
kriffing HURTS, and is so annoying", the risen Transcend said. "And now
that
you and your master know the futility of fighting me", he continued, "you
will be made an example of." With a flick of a switch the insane clone felt
the force no more, blocked from him with the power of Transcend's Force
Repeller (which LT. Hit-Man seemed to forget about). Transcend's Dark
Troopers entered, taking the insane clone they went to the lower lab, where
they used advanced genetic engineering to alter it's cell structure, then
they filled the clone with cells from a Ysalimari. Forever he would have
to
live without the force, the Ysalimari effect limited only to his own person,
extending no farther. Further more, he would be unable to survive if the
Ysalimari cells were killed off due to the genetic changes, and if the
genetic changes were undone he would also die. He then tossed the clone
an
active thermal detonator. "Say hi to Hit-Man for me", Transcend said with
glee. And pushed the poor clone back to Hit-Man through hyperspace.
Transcend was sure the explosion would look quite pretty, pity he wasn't
going to be there to see it as he had an appointment with the Sol system
to
keep.
Transcend concentrated on the force, and sent
the Fearmister back to LT. Hit-Man, after having it painted bright neon
pink.

LT. Hit-Man was on the hunt, that little kriffing
worm O'Farrell had stolen
his ship and scratched the paint. Nobody kriffs with the Hit-Man. Suddenly
there was a bright light and he was....elsewhere. The place had a familiar
look to it. Then he turned around, it was Darth Transcend, sitting on the
old Emperor's throne. "So I'm on Coruscant", he thought, "I had heard
Transcend had taken over here and declared himself Emperor." He felt anger
at having been ripped from his hunt, he reached out with the force......only
there was none to reach with. "What the kriffing hell!?", he exclaimed.
Transcend turned to him and said, "You are under the influence of a
remarkable new device, it projects a zone of force repulsion, much like
a
ysalimari but of a more focused and controllable nature. As such you, and
you alone have been cut off from the Force temporarily. We aquired the
technology from our allies, who aquired it from the Borg. I should say
aquired the basic form of the technology, Imperial R&D has refined the
device quite well. I control it, and everywhere I go from now on it
accompanies me, along with my guard, all former members of my squadron,
all
force users, all well trained." Suddenly 11 lightsabers are heard
activating. "Do not worry" ,Transcend continued, "I am not here to harm
you,
this is merely a precaution until you calm down abit. Our intelligence has
informed us that it was indeed NOT Chris O'Farrell who stole your ship and
scratched the paint, but an insane clone of O'Farrell, a Romulan experiment
gone wrong. We have found your craft and as an offering of our good faith
we
will return it to you, and you to it, so that you may hunt down this
abomination. I harbor no I'll feelings about the alternate timeline,
although I do know what happened, the Force has spoken to me. You would
never have permenently been able to take my essence in the first place,
for
what is within this body is only a small part of myself. I am more Force
now
then man. The essence within this body is just a drop of myself, a drop
of
my power. I tell you this so you know the truth." Transcend waved his hand,
simultaniously releasing the field and sending LT. Hit-Man into hyperspace.
Another sudden flash and he found himself in the Fearmeister, and it near
Sheppard's own fleet......

"Adjutant online. Good Evening Magistrate."

"We've retrofitted 2 squadrons of A4-Skyhawks with the new technology
encountered from the ISS Lord of Change. Quantum crystalline armour, light
turbo lasers, concussion missiles. And transorbital engines capable of speeds
many times what was originally possible with current aviation standards.
It's
funny to think that last week these were just a bunch of 1960's era rust
buckets, we've really given them a new lease of life."
"I see, what else did you replace?"
"The missile guidance systems, the targeting computer, the entire VDU
actually, the interior controls are all brand new."
"Is that all?
"No, after the new weapons systems were added we found that we needed another
hard point for the shield generator. So he had to do a bit of tweaking."
"And is that all?"
"Nope. After all that was done we found that the A4 hulls couldn't take
the
strain. So we had to strip it off piece by piece and replace it with dura

Infact now that you mention it, there aren't any original A4 Skyhawk parts
left in them. I'm patching you through to the hanger now sir."
The image changes to show the new fighters. The had a similar appearance
to
that of harrier jets. Except that they were black all over apart from the
odd
strip of grey. Extra thruster pods were mounted between and either side

That was just a small gift anyway, essentially the

I have no idea which one is the "original." Graeme
brought the 2nd Earth
back to Sol, and now things are more cluttered up than ever before. The
freak incident was caused in part by the interference of the Infinite
Improbability Field with Centerpoint's tractor-repulsor, resulting in a
2nd
Earth dumped into orbit of Coruscant.

As Sheppard's vessels commenced repairs, they detected a contact at
somewhere near lunar orbit. When its origin was determined, the sensor
operators laughed with derision. It was a simple VSD, and the IFF
soon
identified it as the _Julias Caesar_, the "command ship" of Sanchez.
As it cruised into the area at top speed, it was targeted by one SSD.
Two missiles were launched. The shipkillers streaked in at near light
speed, ready to deal death to the ship.
As the missiles reached a distance of 2000km from the VSD, twin beams
of yellow light lanced out, and the torpedoes detonated harmlessly.
The shock of the moment was not enough to prevent the gunners from
trying again, this time with dozens of missiles. As the _Julias
Caesar_ fought to hold its own, dozens of other imperial vessel jumped
in. None was larger than the paltry VSD, but all had an uncanny system
installed on them.
----====----
Commander Sanchez grinned. The Phalanx Mk 15 was performing even
better than estimated. The specially designed lasers and targetting
systems were picking off the missiles with disturbing regularity.
The
only damage suffered by the taskforce as of yet was from the splash of
the warhead's detonation. Even more ships were arriving, mainly Strike
Cruisers. However, the point of the operation was not to simply
embarrass Sheppard, it had a more important cause.
In less than a minute, over two hundred Phalanx 15 equipped ships
had
appeared, forming an umbrella between the Earth and Sheppard's small
fleet. Unfortunately, the sheer number of missiles began to overwhelm
the systems. As over 500 spikes targetted each vessel, the system
overloaded. Dozens of ships began to explode brilliantly. A
near miss
hammered the Julias Caesar from the port side, downing the shields and
reducing its capability to 50 percent.
"BRING THE PACKAGE IN, ASAP!" Sanchez shouted.

Only 4 light years away, in orbit around Alpha Centauri Proxima, a
modified Galaxy Gun slowly turned. Only one quarter the size of the
original model, the _Pericles_ was designed for one purpose, and one
purpose alone. But this one move could bring about the end of the
war. A missile streaked out of the barrel, bound for Earth.
It
entered hyperspace moments later.
The projectile entered the Sol system just outside of Earth orbit, and
streaked into the atmosphere. It ignored the battle raging near the
moon, and focused on its mission. It slammed into the ocean in a
tumultuous splash.
----====----
The battle was not going well. Only fifty of Sanchez's fleet remained,
and that number was dwindling rapidly. It had to come soon...
"Yes! Confirmation recieved! Open a line to Sheppard!"
The Grand Admiral's voice came over the speaker's near Pablo's command
chair. "Wishing to surrender, scum? Well, you'll have no such
luck,
you'll be dead in a moment."
"I wasn't going to surrender, Sheppard. In fact, I was wishing to
get
_your_ surrender."
The Grand Admiral laughed. "Fool! You can't hope to--"
Pablo cut him off. "I'm afraid that neither you nor I have the time
for these shenanigans. I'm sure you detected the missile that impacted
in the Pacific Ocean."
"Hmmph. It produced no explosion, and was barely worthy of my notice."
"I think it is quite important to you. You see, it contained a deadly
mechanical agent. It is more ingenious than any weapon ever developed
before. It contained a group of self propagating, sentient nanites.
These nanites are already so widespread and numerous that you have no
hope of ever stopping them. Besides this, they have gathered bio-mass,
to disguise themselves. They are now on land, sea, and in the air,
in
forms so disparate that you could never hunt them down. They are
currently awaiting _my_ orders. If it do not issue orders to stand
down in the next..." he checked the chronometer, "three minutes, they
will begin a program of genocide against your people. These nanites
are unstoppable by any methods you posess. They were designed
specifically to hunt your race, and resist your defenses."
"You're bluffing!"
"I assure you that I am not. Simply consult your telepaths to
determine the truth of my statements. I await your decision."

Great. Sheppard has not deemed me important enough to deal with.
He
will now pay the price. Because of Sheppard's total lack of response,
the nanites were activated on schedule. 10 ships out of my fleet
escaped, 5 of them heavily damaged. One did not make it to the
roundezvous, and had presumably exploded just after the jump.
The nanites destroyed all major Merman population centers in the first
five hours, by forming mountrous bio-organisms (think Gojira). By
the
time the Sirensha were able to mount a defense, they found the threat
immune to telepathy. Fighting with conventional means, they were at
last able to score some casualties on the bio-organisms.
Unfortunately, the sentient nanites took control of the sea itself,
using giant squids, sharks, and all manner of animals to wage the war.
By 12:00 noon today, the last merman on Earth died in the south
Pacific. In accordance with the plan, the nanites quietly dissasembled
themselves, becoming particles of sea-water.

[Earth I, Sol]
In blue streaks, the 2nd fleet of the O'Farrell Federation jumped out of
slipstream and in to realspace above Earth. There was little orbiting at
the
moment bar the NZOP and BOP as most of the Pro FAQ and Pro Anarchy forces
had spread through the galaxys. Now Chris Fleet of over 1000 ships were
comming into station keeping near the NZOP. led by the _O'Farrells Revenge_,
they were a swift and powerful striking force. However at the moment there
were no enemies bar the platform 1000 klicks astern of the NZOP in orbit.
In a few seconds, there would be no enemies at all.
At the heart of the platform was an infinite improbability drive. This
device DID have a weakness.
A Sub-Cyclic Normality Assert-I-Tron (HHGTGG pg 164). Essentialy I could
match the infinite number of outcomes that the infinite improbability drive
could put out. I could not destroy the platform of course. But the question
is what do you get when you minus infinity from positive infinity:
Zero.
Even though infinity is impossibly god dwafing realy realy big, the same
can
be said for negative infininty. Like any positive and negative number, they
canceld each other out.
Leaving it as nothing more then a county floating through orbit.
Imediatly as the improbability field collapsed around the BOP the
_O'Farrells Revenge_ came about. Along with the superlaser on the NZOP,
its
superlaser fired. A pair of briliant green beams sliced out and through
the
platform and in a split second it exploded sending huge chunks out
everywhere. The ones at Earth were easily handeled by the 7 layers of super
strong planatery shields set up by the Pro FAQ forces. The massive peices
that were heading at the Pro FAQ fleet were easily handled by 8 reflex
cannons onboard the _O'Farrells Revenge_.
Now only the seas belonged to Sheppard. And not for long as several
supertransports moved through several gaps in the planatery shield sopened
for them heading for the many oceans of the world...along with several
smaller fast attack transports which headed for the artic regions...

Suddenly a large task force appeared in Sol system,
100 Shockwave type heavy
cruisers, 2,500 Garrote Class Star Destroyers (a new class, the size of
an
ISD but with 75% greater firepower, and multiple redundant shields powered
by oversized reactors. Basically built for sheer firepower.), 500 ISDs,
and
250 VSDIIs. Transcend, aboard the Sith's Slaughter (his new Command Ship)
watched the beauty of the ships as they moved into defensive positions near
the Sol system's Asteroid Belt. The sheer firepower of this fleet was
awesome, all it needed now was an enemy. Transcend smiled as he thought
of
the surprise he had planned for the poor fleet that would choose to engage
him. Suddenly a fleet began to enter range. "You may begin Alpha Operation
now Admiral", he said.......
Transcend watched as Heckler's fleet closed to range. He watched with mild
amusement as the ships closed to firing range. The ships opened fire ripping
though Transcend's ships, or so it appeared. Suddenly the holomatrix went
down as Heckler discovered that he had been firing at asteroids. "Now we
see
if the new tactic works", said Transcend. Suddenly scores of Interdictor
Cruisers decloaked, within point blank range. Two Interdictors per ship
that
Heckler had brought to bear. One of each pair activated a standard gravity
well, the other a strong repulser field. Right before Transcend's eyes all
of Heckler's ships were torn apart like tinfoil. "All ships to close on
the
debris, reduce it all to vapor, I want no surviving escape pods", he
ordered. Transcend smiled as he watched the devistation. The tactic
had
worked like a charm. When it was all finished, all of Heckler's forces
reduced to plasma, Transcend ordered all ships to to recloak and engage
hyperdrives back to Imperial space.

"Sir, there is a BIG Culture Fleet at the edge of the Solar System!"

Sheppard yawned.
"Nice try Pablo....have you noticed the large concentrations of
nanites near the polar icecaps?" Sheppard said.
"I thought those were mine!" Pablo said.
"Nope. If you do a genocidial campagin, my people will unleash
their *own* nanites upon the earth's polar ice caps, melting them,
raising the sea level by thousands of feet, flooding Earth to an
exent that most of the land-mass will be submerged, making it an
ideal world for my people. We also have our own counter-nano-nano
machines available for medical purposes, so let us cease this
pathetic 'let's kill everyone on earth' shit."
"What about unrestricted commerce raiding?" shouted Pablo, eager
to get a point in.
"This is war. Targets of strategic importance get wasted. However,
MAD went out of favor after 1991, so lets just stick to the
small theater-level weapons, shall we?"
Reluctantly, Pablo nodded, not excactly hot to be remembered
as the one who had caused the flooding of the Earth's low-lying
regions. That, and for the complete and utter genocide of the
one race on earth who had a PR machine unrivalled by any other
species..The Walt Disney company! The Sirensha (aka mermaids)
were even more cuddly than whales, baby seals, or dolphins. :-)
Suddenly, Pablo's weapons officer screamed, "INCOMING!"
Hundreds of missiles from Sheppard's three AEGIS XXI SSDs were
coming in, but these were not the slower Boydpoon missiles, so
easily shot down by Phalanx systems.
These were the massive Shipwreck II missiles, each the size
of a Corellian Corvette, and moving so fast, only a missile-based
defense had any chance of defeating it, and they had to be engaged
at ranges of millions of kilometers to be effective.
Only AEGIS XXI had any chance of shooting them down, and
unfortunately, Pablo didn't have AEGIS XXI. As the Shipwreck IIs
roared in towards the remnants of his fleet, the fleet's Mk 15 CIWS
systems began firing, but because they could only begin engageing the
Shipwrecks at close range, and since the Shipwrecks were going so
damn fast, CIWS only had a 2 second window to destroy the missiles
before they came so close to the ships that even if they were
destroyed, the warhead detonation would damage the ship, or the
shrapnel from the missile, travelling at nearly lightspeed, would
slam into the ship, causing massive damage.
The smaller, lightly armed modified ISDs under Pablos' command
shuddered and exploded into fireballs as multiple Shipwreck IIs
struck each one.
"Get us out of here!" screamed Pablo, as a Shipwreck blew up close
to the _Julius Caesar_, the force of the close-by explosion
peeling several decks off the forward ridgeline.
"Yessir!"
The Hyperdrives of the remaining ships of Pablos' fleet engaged,
and they disappeared into space, leaving behind the floating
hulks of nearly a hundred thirty ISDs in interstellar space.
[ISS _Hoth_]
"Sir! Our weapons load is down to just 23% across the fleet!"
said Sheppard's XO.
"I know that," Sheppard said, about to say something, when he was
suddenly cut out by the noise of the fleet's hyperdrives engaging
on their own apparent free will.
Several hours later, the three AEGIS XXI SSDs blinked into existence
on the outskirts of the Joid system, home of the Boyd Collectives'
main shipyards.
"Well. Looks like Boyd found us, after all." remarked Sheppard.
"Take the fleet into the docks. We need to repair our battle damage,
as well as replenish our weapons load."
This was an unimaginable task, as between the three of them,
over twelve *million* missiles were carried.
[Much much later - Outer Solar System]
Thousands of huge transports, each containing an entire
Corps (200,000 troops plus equipment) slowly boosted their
way towards Earth, escorted by the remaining Kynsian ASVS forces,
including Chris O'Farrell's fleet (or what was left of it).
"Sir, estimate earthfall in 3.4 standard hours."
Chris turned to look at the nameless crewer who'd told him
this. "Thanks, son. He's out there, you know."
"Who, sir?" asked the young crewer.
"Sheppard. I know that bastard will be back. He just will."
Suddenly, klaxons went off.
"Enemy ships off our port bow!"
Out in space, dozens of Boyd-crewed ISDs were jumping, in,
unleashing salvoes of green death, and then hyperjumping
back out, destroying hundreds of Kynsian ASVS ships in
moments with their turbolasers.
The Kynsians returned fire, and dozens of Boyd ISDs shuddered
under the immense energies released upon them, and exploded.
"Sir! Multiple squadrons consisting of at least a hundred ISDs
each are jumping in now! One...two...three...four...five....six...
seven...eight....nine...and ten!
Now, over 1,000 Boyd ships had joined in the immense space battle
shaping up just beyond the outer reaches of Pluto.
Seconds later, the remnants of Lord Khyron's fleet jumped in,
joining the growing melee. In the middle of all of this,
Thelea's Grand Cannon appeared, and began charging up to fire.
Millions of ships struck by weapons fire exploded in bright actinic
flares of light, along with countless millions of sentinents, their
lives cut horribly short by their power-mad rulers (aka ASVS members).
In the middle of all of this, O'Farrell's fleet remained with the
mighty transport fleet as the rest of the Kynsian faction rushed
to engage the Boyd and Zentredi forces in glorious battle.
"Sir? Why aren't we engaging?"
"Lieutenant. This is apparently a diversion. The main body
of attack will come at this point. Those power-mad fools
out there don't realize that unless those transports reach
Earth, their armies will be useless against Sheppard's forces,
because they won't be on Earth."
"Trust me. He'll attack."
At that moment, the characteristic shapes of Sheppard's
three AEGIS XXI SSDs appeared on the horizon, their
sensors waming up.
"Yep. Right on time." remarked Chris.
"Sir! We've detected 400 plus starfighters jumping in as well!"
"Shit!"
The Kynsian forces attempted to manuever to engage Sheppard's
fleet, but concentrated Boyd attacks forced them to concentrate
on their own survival, at the expense of the big picture.
The Fate of the Earth now rested on the outcome of this clash between
O'Farrell and Sheppard.
The 432 starfighters carried on Sheppard's three Executor SSDs
flew in formation well ahead of their home ships, loaded for
bear with long range Phoenix II missiles and Boydpoons, their
sensors locking onto the lumbering transports and their escorts.
The Outer Air Battle was about to begin.....

Azonia sneered at the fleets ahead. Lord Khyron was
leading the
300,000 odd remaining Zentraedi ships in an all out attack; The Factory
Satellite wasn't up to full production yet.
The quite literally hundreds of millions, perhaps a billion, mecha and
interceptors that had been launched from the fleet were now within
range, and started launching reflex missiles and firing their guns at
the capitol ships; In sheer numbers, they ripped through any Kynsian
fighters with ease, though took awesome losses.
At 300,000km range, the Zentraedi Warships started dumping millions of
Reflex Missiles into space, racing towards the ships of the Council
forces by the millions, firing salvo after salvo as their long-range
particle beam cannons opened fire as well, pummeling the council forces
with the combined firepower equivlant to 7,000 ISDs; Once they closed
to turbolaser range, that firepower would roughly double as their
retrofitted TLs opened up, too... And that wasn't counting the hordes
of missiles they were firing.
Now it was Azonia's turn, though. She gave the order. "Fire the Grand
Cannon!"
From the massive maw of that huge, cylender shaped monitor, the white,
cone-shaped beam leapt out, all consuming, racing across the distance
in roughly two seconds to strike at Chris O'Farrel's fleet.
680 of the Sovereign-rebuilt types were vapourized instantly, as were
3 SSDs and 1 Executor type.
The beam also lanced through other Council Forces fleets, vapourizing
hundreds of other capital ships.
Numerous Zentraedi fighters were destroyed in the process, but there
were so many that it didn't matter.
The Grand Cannon Monitor continued to close and recharge.
The battle was fully joined.

"Sir Perhaps the time has come to enter the fray sir"
came the last
statement of the lieutenant commander overseeing the sensors section.
"Indeed, Theela and her forces have engaged the council at the outer
edges of the system, Sheppard has sprung his attack on those
reinforcing Earth." Wilkens was calm as he delivered his own
assesment. " The balance of power will shift dramatically but not yet."
"Sir, with all due respect they're slaughtering each other out there,
its gotten to the point that Executor's are going down within minutes,
the fleet count around Pluto is dropping by the hundreds every second."
" I am well aware of this commander." Wilkens stated simply. "The point
of decision will not be here, in the fringes. Rather the point of
decision is at Earth."
" You realize many of the smaller ships won't stand a chance against
that Aegis combat sensor system sir." As always Kl'vit was cautious
about loosing so many of his troopers that would be needed to reinforce
Earth.
" Their powered armor can take descent so just make sure that the
dropships move in and out of Cherenkov fast." That would be Breen,
Reaper Breen, his chief SpecOps man and a good friend of Wilkens.
" Prepare all troops for combat deployment, raise all shields, charge
the weapons, launch the fighters, and damnit Reaper get those Jedi
Rangers ready, it looks like I might have a mission for them."
Across a space both immense in size and tiny in comparison to the
system the flett would jump in stood Wilkens's fleet. It was the result
of years spent forcing the Republic to build real ships in large
numbers, at least for their taste. It was still too small for his
taste. It numbered only 12000 strong, and that was if you included the
combat support ships. The factor that helped was the composition. Four
of those ships were of the Peacekeeper class. His own version was
perhaps the best armed and defended but each represented the most that
Republic could bring to bear. Layered armor of eight different types
with small spaces between them gave each the ultimate defense in depth.
Every layer held its own shield generators giving the ship 11 shield
layers and 10 hull layers over the unarmored belts. Turbolasers,
missile launchers, pulse cannons, slug throwers, tractor beams,
repulsor weapons, and more littered the hull the streched over 70 km in
length. Modeled after the Executor-class ships they lacked superlasers
in favor of millions of batteries of other weapons on a platform that
was nimble enough ( with the help of some well tweaked gravity well
projectors ) to avoid those titanic weapons.
This was not to say he lacked superlasers. Wilkens glanced out the
bridge windows to his right, there in perfect formation stood his lead
taskforce commander Fleet Admiral Bilto aboard his Eclipse II
battlecruiser the Defender. Various Sovreign SSDs circled around
serving as moble C&C posts for the various fleet taskforces.
Slowly spreading from its compact cruising formation the fleet began to
take shape as the component fleets for this grand force split and began
deploying into taskforce and tasforce detachments. Fighters by the tens
of thousands launched from various ships assumed a formation around
their launch ships as everyone prepared to jump.
First into the system were the dropships delivering the ground troops
of Field Marshal Vivar Kl'vit's Grand army. Each dropship held almost a
regiment of strength and was capable of offloading the entire group in
a matter of seconds upon achieving orbit, however the power
requirements for the combat stress of accelerating in and out of a
planets gravity well in under thirty seconds left them with a weakness.
They had enourmous sublight acceleration but the FTL drives were slower
than Hyperdrive by an order of magnitude and were superior only to Warp
and Hyperspace in the fact that they left no traceable emissions. Due
to these limits they were the first to jump from the Oort cloud in
system to reinforce the Pro-Council forces holding a tenuous line in
the skies above Earth. Hot on their heels were the flashes of Cronau
radiation as the entire fleet jumped in to the skies above earth just
as the Dropships came out of cherenkov.
Arraying itself in a protective umbrella the fleet held positions for
bare seconds while the dropships offlaoded almost 10,000 divisions of
powered armor troopers. With them safley out of the system Wilkens
ordered his fleet to accelerate around the planet's limb to join the
engagement already underway.
Cmdrwilkens ( " They just call me that, don't you wish you knew what my
real rank is? You don't? Well then you must die!" )

works document for anybody who really cares what I've put together.

Belisarius arrived (about two hours), for now he would send in the
fighters.
Klaxons and sirens were heard through out the
massive vessel, millions
of fighters flowed from the ship and half of them set up a Barrier CAP.
The other 50 million set course for the battle field.
Star Marshall Knopf directed the battle from
his flag bridge on the
Belisarius. Pablo's plan had failed, but it was no matter if the planet
had to be destroyed he would do it himself, though he hoped to preserve
the planet for the sake of history. But he'd killed hundreds of
trillions in his career, a few billion more was less then nothing.
He sat in the middle of dozens of display screens,
like all Sixth
Imperium citizens he could access all systems though his neural
communication systems. But old fashion holograms still had there
usefulness.
Ho observed the destruction of Chris's fighter
force, it was
unfortunate for Chris but would have no real effect on the effectiveness
of his fighter forces. He did decide to send a message on all channels,
"You have five minutes till I strike, take heart my allies we shall be
victorious. As for my Enemies cower in fear for know now that you face
the might of the Sixth Imperium." As he said that Kyle looked at the
long range relay to his right, it showed the status of his command, the
3rd Assault Fleet, all two trillion of them. It was an impressive
site,
and this was one of only ten Assault Fleets, plus twenty smaller
Galactic Fleets, and the Imperial Guard Fleet.
He had considered ordering the fleet into combat,
but it was too large
of a force, a single planetoid was more then enough. He saw that the
fighter force had reached missile range. He considered a massed missile
launch, but the battle was to close, gravitonic warhead could very well
kill both sides. This was energy combat work. They swept in the combined
fleet of Sheppard and his erstwhile allies.
The Phoenix class starfighter was perfect for
this arena, each fighter
had fire power equal to a wing of NR B-wing bombers, this was combined
with TIE interceptor levels of maneuverability. The Boyd reacted first,
while the Zentradi and Sheppards force attacked with anti starfighter
weapons and watched in horror as they did nothing to the attackers, Boyd
ahd fought the Imperium before his ships opened fire with heavy anti
ship batteries, when the rest of the insurrectionists started to follow
suit the fighter started to die. It was an almost glorious site, as long
as you didn't realize each sparkle of light represented the loss of at
least one life, while the larger explosions could mean the deaths of
thousands.
Sheppard was furious. The battle had been going
his way, now these new
fighters swamped the area and he saw dozens of capital ships dying.
charged super lasers.
Then it got worse, the Belisarius was only twenty
minutes from energy
range, he ahd to escape or he'd be slaughtered instantly trying to
engage that behemoth head on. It was time to retreat, if he could...
Every time he tried to order a change in formation the fighters would
sweep in and hit another dozen ships with concentrated energy
bombardments.
Star Marshall Knopf smiled.

Sheppard's fighters rapidly approached
the fleet, weapons locked one and
ready to fire. But then space glowed as a cloaked Arbiter recalled in the
24th Republic Battle Group. 40 Ranger Mk III Anti-Fighter Frigates
surrounded the fighters and unleashed repeated flak bursts, plasma filled
space. The lighter ships of the fleet surrounded the troop transports,
entering defensive formations, augmenting Chris's fleet. Fleet Carriers
disgorged a myriad number of fighters and bombers.
30 massive destroyers of the battle group surged towards the
Boyd fleet
to save the remains of the Kynsians. Turbolasers and ion bolts race forward,
smashing against the shields of their older counterparts. Huge, pulsating,
red superlaser beams followed after, slamming into the Boyd squadrons,
engulfing them in maelstroms of fire. The 10 star cruisers sparred off
against the Zentradei fleet, tactical superlasers criss-crossing across
the
Grand Cannon's hull, vaporizing through armor and hull. Plasma and ionized
particles quickly engulfed the enemy fleet.
The remaining ships of the 24th, 2 Mon Calamarian battleships,
overshadowing the already immense Executors, turned, facing off against
the
3 Command Ships. Point defenses and interceptors struggled against the
onslaught of missiles. Warhead after warhead slammed against the immense
shielding of the battleships. Power surged through the micro-hypermatter
reactors and at the forward point of both vessels, a large red glowed and
two long beams surged forward, strategic superlasers, more powerful than
the
older, obsolete Eclipses. The two flanking SSDs were obliterated as the
beams raked through their hulls. A stasis field from the Arbiter covered
Sheppard's flagship, trapping him in a pocket of space-time as the two
battleships recharged their primary cannons. The effect would only last
a
few minutes. The battle raged on.

"Report!" cried Azonia. "Outer armour pierced.. First
hull layer
pierced. Next two hull layers undamaged. Shields lost, Commander." the
female Zentraedi (They're segregated by sex normally... Khyron relaxed
such rules, but old habits die hard.) reported to her commader.
Khyron, she saw, had already swung all 300,000 ships, taking losses
but not many, to pound at the ten heavies attacking. They pounded, and
pounded, and since those heavies were within TL range, it was like
14,000 ISDs against ten Star Cruisers.. NOT counting Reflex missiles.
Even the super-powered starcruisers they were facing could not hold
against that kind of firepower. The ten were shredded in a matter of
two minutes as thousands of Reflex missiles and particle beams and
turbolaser bolts struck home; They took losses, as the ships turned
their attention from the Grand Cannon to the Zentraedi fleet, but it
was far, far from enough.
The Ten Star Cruisers were all wiped out, the Zentraedi had lost
little firepower; Their ships were larger than ISDs, and, with the
shields, just as survivable, but the firepower was so spread out among
them that you could kill thousands and not even make a dent.
"How close is the Grand Cannon to being recharged?" Azonia
demanded. "Partially recharged now, Commander.. We can try for a less
than full power shot.."
"Then target one of those battleships!" she pointed a massive finger
on the screen towards one of the two Battleships attacking Sheppard's
flagship. "Tight beam, all power at it... FIRE!" the Giantess roared.
The Grand Cannon fired; Not full power, but it was a tight beam, and
only one ship to hit... It slammed into the Mon Calamari Battleship as
it was recharging it's Superlaser, pumping enough power into that
Battleship to vapourize it instantly. Two trailing destroyers that had
been moving to attack Boyd's fleet were also caught by the beam and
vapourized utterly, but because it was tight beam and comparatively low
power, no further damage was done.
Against the remaining 28 destroyers, Khyron ordered the rest of the
Zentraedi fleet, 290,000 ships in combat condition, to turn and attack,
as the fighters and mecha swept around them in massive clouds.
In the meantime, Azonia ordered the Monitor to stand clear, recharging
shields first, then the Grand Cannon.

"Those fighters are incredible!" Khyron shouted in
surprise and
loathing admiration. "Every mecha, every battlepod, every interceptor..
Every landing corvette.. Every assault ship.. Hit them!"
The landing corvettes, the size of corellian corvettes but far more
maneuverable, and the assault ships, same size, concentrating on
firepower, all launched from the capital ships, over three million of
each, and began to engage the fighters; They were bulkier, though, and
definitely outgunned. But they had support; Over 700 million
Battlepods, Mecha, and Interceptors SWARMED the Imperium fighters with
sheer weight of numbers, even ramming, launching salvoes of hundreds of
missiles apiece and attacking behind them with every weapon that could
bear, as the dual-purpose particlebeam/laser mounts on the Zentraedi
capital ships continued to pound at the fighters, powerful enough to do
damage, while the main particle beams and TLs kept on firing at Yuen's
destroyers.
The Grand Cannon's shields were to full power, and the cannon it's

"Sir, all fighter have

data her fleet has left the area. O'Farell reports engaging her in Earth

"Very well, attack the Boyd ships." With that
order the Belisarius
fired, every scanner within a light years suddenly erupted off the
scale. Each beam brought only death and destruction to it's target. Boyd
ships exploded like popcorn as the massive beams touched them. In the
first thirty seconds over half of the BOyd ships were gone. The
remaining 70 million fighters dog fighting with the surviving
Pro-Sheppard forces.
Boyd clones continued to die by the hundreds
of thousands. It was a
slaughterhouse not a battle.
"Damage report?"
"Minor damage to section alpha 125, less then
.001% decrease in combat

Sheppard had ordered every ship and fighter to fire every single weapon
including super lasers and missile at a single section, they had caused
almost no hull damage and the shielding section had flickered for only a
second then returned at full strength.
"Disengage energy weapons, charge hyper cannons.
I want prisoners
target engines and disable the enemy vessels." NOw the Belisarius let
loose with it's secondary weapons, they shoot concentrated translation
fields that sent any matter or energy within on a one way trip to hyper.
Weapon emplacements now began to disappear off
the hulls of Boyd and
Sheppard ships, then engine nozzles and even reactors. Soon they would

The 24th was devastated. On board the
Battle of Tyeralis VI, the

and
pulled himself up. "Sensors report!"
Consoles blew out as sparks flew across the bridge. One of

"Roger that, Star Marshall. The carriers

The battle group disappeared in a brilliant glow, recalled
by yet
another Arbiter. (Boy, do I have a lot these laying around :). Meanwhile
the
carriers began launching assault transports, filled with Republic marines,
towards the drifting hulks of the Zentreadi warships. A Minion troop
transport arrived as well, deploying boarding pods at the Boyd ships,
finally getting to face off against the Boyd, organic collective vs.

the Sol system where Sheppard is launching an all out offensive on
O'Farrell's fleet gaurding the planet while Theela's armada is mixing

*Sol System*
*Near Earth, a fleet of over 1000 Star Destroyers floated silently in
space, in formation around the mighty _Deathbane_, flagship of Grand
Admiral Ancaris.*
The Grand Admiral looked at the tactical display on his armrest.
On
the edge of the solar system, the war continued in yet another collossal
battle. Neutral in this pointless war, he was none the less concerned
The once-organized and mostly peaceful ASVS Alliance was now
torn to
shreds by Civil War that was on scale with both of the Galactic Civil Wars
of his him galaxy. They had even damaged in space and time, resulting
in
the creation of a second Earth - one here, and one in Binary orbit with
Coruscant. Though the second Earth it had been returned to the Sol
system
by Graeme and sharing orbit with the original.
The damage had to be repaired. With everyone focused
on the battle at
the edge of the system, no-one would notice till it was too late.
"Captain Marcus, order battle stations!" Grand Admiral Ancaris said to his
flag captain.
"Aye Sir! What are your orders?"
"Pick a course for one of the two Earths, it matters not which... and
prepare the main weapon for a full power shot."
Captain Marcus was silent before replying, "Aye sir."
Slowly, the massive Eclipse class Star Destroyer began moving on a course
for Earth. Those further out-system didnt' notice, but those near
the
twin planets did.
Aboard Centerpoint II, they noticed the movement of the stellar behemoth.
"Sir! Grand Admiral Ancaris is up to something! _Deathbane_ is heading
this way!" the Sensor officer said.
"What is he up to..."
Soon it would be all too clear. As the Grand Admiral sat in his command
chair, he said only 1 word, "Fire"
"OH SHIT!!! He's firing the superlaser at Earth1!"
At this range, there was nothing they could do. The powerful beam
slammed
in to the shield, and in a fraction of a second collapsed as the deadly
energies continued their assault. The beam hit the crust and burrowed
its
way through the planet in less than a second. In a massive explosion
that
was comparable to the death of Alderaan at the hands of the 1st Death
Star, the planet was no more. All that was left were chunks of rock
that
were hurled through space by the blast. Even through the intense jamming,
the energies needed to destroy the planet were clearly registered at the
site of the battle on the fringe of the solar system. It was enough
to
cause a moment of "silence" in the battle as everyone tried to figure out
what was going on in-system.
Grand Admiral Ancaris sat in silence for a moment in his command chair
before Captain Marcus address him.
"Sir, we're getting several hails, for obvious reasons."
"Answer none, but prepare to send a voice message to all those hailing
us."
"Aye sir... ready."
"Two were never meant to exist... only one." the Grand Admiral said.
"Message sent Admiral."
The silver haired admiral nodded, "Good. Also inform all those hailing
that we will take no further actions so long as no similar "mistakes"
occur what we'd have to correct."
"Aye Sir."
"Now take us back to the fleet. Repercussions may be headed our way."

Alarms blared all over Centerpoint II as the gravitic
generators powering
the Glowpoint began to shut down, along with the system-wide interdiction
field, and the backup hypermatter reactor came online. The Mega-Maid 2,
still with a full load of water, came very close to taking the North Pole
of
the space station off, but fortunately it regained control and went into
a
normal orbit.
The commander in charge of Centerpoint, an older, thin, and wiry man,
briskly walked out of the main control room, and entered a turbolift
that
would take him to Gravitic Control. As he walked into the computer-stuffed
room, a technician walked up to him. "Sir, our stocks of hypermatter are
running low from the long hyperjump to get here. Unless we get the gravitic
generators up again, we'll end up becoming a permanent part of Earth Beta,
and I don't mean as a moon. Permission to tractor Mars into the former orbit
of Earth Alpha?" The commander mulled over this for a minute. "Permission
granted. And if Grand Admiral Ancaris objects, you are to remove him and
his
flagship from the system." "Agreed, sir. One more thing... how are we going
to remove him? There are over a thousand ships, after all..." The commander
turned and whispered into the tech's ear. "Yes, sir."
One hour later...
Massive energies built up at Centerpoint II's South Pole, near the polar
superlaser. In the breadth of a heartbeat, the tractor-repulsor energy
lanced out, dragging Mars into a new orbit with Earth. Astronomically
speaking, it was actually a good maneuver, as within the space of a year,
Mars would gradually warm up, becoming habitable for humans. Of course,
it
didn't have nearly as much water as Earth, but the Mega Maid would soon
see
to that. As the orbits of the two planets quickly stabilized, the Mega Maid
went and dumped its load of sea, minus the mermen, on Mars. The dozen or
so
mermen that weren't trapped inside the water bag froze as soon as they
encountered the frigid atmosphere of Mars.
30 minutes later...
An ensign walked up to the commander. "Sir, Gravitic Control reports that
power has been restored. It appears that everything is returning to normal."
"Good. Now, watch Ancaris. If you detect him trying to fire his superlaser,
generate a repulsor field in front of the path of the shot. That should
deflect the shot. I hope you know that he killed several billion people
last
time he fired it."
"Yes, sir."

"Fox One, Fox One, Fox One!"
Hundreds of Phoenix II missiles streaked from Sheppard's Missile
Boats, heading for their opposite numbers on the O'Farrell side.
Thus, entire squadrons of O'Farrell's starfighters were vaporized
in the opening salvoes of the most pivotal fleet enagement since
Endor.
O'Farrell's forces had to accept heavy losses with no chance of
fighting back at first, due to the extremely long ranges of
Sheppard's weaponry, but as the two sides' starfighter screens
closed, O'Farrel's TIE Defenders began to gain a slight
advantage over Sheppard's Missile Boats.
"Gold leader! Check out Group Beta!"
O'Farrell's CAG, flying the lead TIE Defender, looked at
what his wingman had told him about.
It was a sight that brought smiles to any fighter pilot:
dozens of heavily armed anti-ship strike craft lumbering
along, with neligible air-to-air weaponry.
Peeling off, O'Farrel's TIE Defenders began to carve up
the Boydpoon-carrying Missile Boats, using their superior
manuverability and air-to-air loadout to gain the advantage.
On the bridge of the _Hoth_, Sheppard watched his starfighters
get chewed up by the Kynsian snub fighters. Curses! He'd gone
a bit overboard in arming most of his fighters with Boydpoons and
not enough Phoenix IIs.
This limited them to anti-ship strikes, since the Missile Boat's
inferior nose-mounted laser cannon was of no use against highly
manuverable TIE Defenders. That, and the fact that the Tractor
Beams on his fighters had been removed to make room for the
electronics pod that allowed them to launch Boydpoons or Phoenix IIs.
Sheppard was in some deep shit now.

'WHAT THE KRIFF IS GOING ON OUT THERE' Chris shouted across the C&C

of the _O'Farrells Revenge_.
'Sir it appears that when a duplicate Earth was created by the infinate
improbability drive a duplicate _Cleaners Bane II_ and a few support ships
were created'.
'Your saying that there is ANOTHER me out there?'
'It would appear so'.
Chris was highly annoyed. First came the news that Hit-Man had created an

the
Anti-FAQ forces had started a major attack in the outer reaches of the solar
system.
NOW he found out that another version of himself had been created and *HE*
was batteling SHEPPARD not ME? It was highly anoying.
'Put the current situation up in the holotank'.
The _O'Farrells Revenge_ had a sensor system that surpassed just about every
other system in existence. It could scan all 11 dimensions of space time
for
a distance of 500 Light years in real time to the decimeter level. Local
scanning (<=1LY) was higher resolution allowing in the milimeter resolution
while <1AU in the nanometer level. It currently tracked the battle being
waged out in the systems far reaches and produced a construct using
Federation Holodeck technology in a 20x20x20 meter area in the center of
the
C&C center.
What he saw, even though is was perfect quality did not please him. The
Pro-FAQ forces were outnumbered sevearly as Thelea interjected herself into
the fight. The fight between Sheppard and the Fake Chris looked like
becoming a stalemate as although Sheppards fighters were being brought down
to match the numbers the Defenders did not have the firepower to prosecute
to kill the bigger ships. And although sheppards forces did not have the
missle loadout to do that much damage anymore, they had already sevearly
hurt the Eclipse of the faker. Thelea although not having the firepower
in
each ship DID have the numbers to overwhelm them.
Well it was time to even the odds.
Chris gave orders for the fleet to break orbit. within seconds they had
jumped to around 1 million klicks from the battle on the far side behind
Thelas fleet.
'Ahh Thelea. always one to underestimate your enemy' he said as he smilled
[Que metalica Imperial march mix]
4 of his escorts looks somewhat like an upscaled Soverign class staship.
Aproxemently 2 klicks long and equiped with 4 nacels instead of two they
were nice looking ships.
They were also a deception.
As elements of Thelas fleet turned to engage the 4 ships moved up. 2 to
each
side of the _O'Farrells Revenge_. The SSD's were scattered around the
formation evenly, fully designed as anti fighter and anti missle platforms
with the 3 Executors and 1000 support ships behind in standby.
Over 100,000 of Theleas ships raced towards them intent on destroying them.
ever so slowley, the grand cannon started to turn but it would be a minuite
before it could even hope to fire and it had been sevearly damaged and was
under attack. Not to mention it had just ripped a new one through the fake
O'Farrells fleet (for which he applauded her) and needed time to charge
again. On each of the Soverign look alikes the Naceles started to move.
Each
pair was shifted forward somewhat by the support beam and the top two were
raised while the bottom pair were lowered. Their busard collectors started
to glow more red, casting a crimsom glow on the ships.
At this point Thelea realised exactly what was going on and started to run
for the navigation console.
The lead Zentraedi ships were within 500k klicks now but it was far too
little far too late.
[C&C center of the _O'Farrells Revenge_]
'Sir all ships report ready'.
'Very well. Wipe them out. All of them.'
'Ahh sir does that include out own allies?'
[THAWCK]
'No you IDIOT. THE ENEMY!'
'Ah yesir'
With their capacators fully charged, all 4 camoflaged Macross cannons let
lose. 16 beams of pure, raw devistaing power sliced through the Zentraedi
fleet like a full scale plasma flamethrower through a swarm of insects.
All 16 beams converged at the co-ordinates of the Grand cannon.
Along with the _O'Farrells revenge_'s superlaser.
A titanic explosion lit the sky of pluto as if it had acheaved Earth orbit
and the sun was comming up. Of the Zentraedi fleet of 300,000 only 55,000
remained. Of the billions of Mecha and fighters that had been launched with
limited shielding and armour at best a hundred thousand of the launched
ships were left and all the ships on the destroyed capital ships were gone.
The camofluged macross cannons quickly transformed back covered by rapid
firing shots from the 8 forward enhanced reflex cannons on the _O'Farrells
Revenge_ that kept fighters and attack craft at bay, then all the ships
took
a nanosecond jump back to Earth and proceaded to move under the 50 layers
of
planatery shields put up where they would be safe from any hyper or magic
or
foldjump attacks from the enraged Chiss that he knew deep down must have
survived.

"They have reflex weaponry!"
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Look what it just did to the fleet, M'lord! We've lost nearly a third
of our remaining ships.."
"Reports, now!"
"We have fifty five thousand operational ships and fourty three
thousand, eight hundred and fourty six with such severe damage that
they're virtually cripples and read as hulks; However, those ones are
repairable and still have living crews. The rest are gone. They can't
be repaired here at all, Lord Khyron..."
"And fighters?"
"Less than two hundred thousand remain.. It is hard to tell, M'lord..."
Grimly, Khyron clenched his hands on the railing until it bent and
buckled. "Signal the Monitor..! Is it still there?"
"Yes sir.. Signal coming through..."
The Monitor had NOT been destroyed; Instead, the awesome power had
simply knocked down the shields. But the backwash of energy from the
shields had been so intense as to appear like the most intense
explosion in recorded history after the big bang, or close enough,
atleast.
Thelea appeared there. "Where's Azonia?" Khyron immedietly demanded.
"Wounded, taken below. The shields were at full power when those
blasts hit, and equal to the second Death Star's.. If not, we'd have
been quite dead, all of us. Heavy hull damage, but the Grand Cannon is
still fully operational."
"Well, it appears we are equals again. The factory satellite...."
"I agree, Lord Khyron. The field is lost. We can salvage what remains
here; Nearly have of the intact ships of your's are cripples from the
reflex weaponry of the enemy.. Macross cannons, I believe. They'll need
a very large fold field to be hauled back to the Factory Satellite."
"However.. One last act of vengeance, Commander Thelea."
"I understand, Lord Khyron. I believe we have the same thing in
mind... Inform me when your fighters are recovered, and the cripples
tractored into position."
Khyron smirked. "Very well. Out."
Thelea did not mind working among the giants; Actually, for the
moment, she was Zentraedi sized. The sizing chambers were positive
miracles of biological sciences.
"Target the Grand Cannon at Earth and fire at maximum overpower
rating!"
"Complying!" came the order from one of the giantesses as the crew of
the battered monitor leapt into action.
"Energy converter is now fully active!"
"Reflex power modules at one hundred percent!"
"All systems standing by with twenty seconds to firing and counting!"
One of the Zentraedi turned towards her. "Lord Khyron announces that
the ships are all in place. The fleet is ready!"
"FOLD!"
The massive ring formed around the remainder of the Zentraedi fleet,
and it folded....
And reappeared at point-blank range to the Earth that Chris had fled
back to. The shields, that is, atleast.
"Grand Cannon ready for maximum overpower firing!"
"FIRE!"
The massive blast was concentrated, a beam that punched through the
shields, overwhelming shield after shield after shield.
Though no energy got through the planet, all the shields were knocked
down.
On the bridge of his flagship, Khyron gave the order. "All ships..
Fire everything! Commander Thelea... Engage the Monitor for Long Range
fold!"
The Zentraedi warships dumped all their remaining Reflex missiles,
even the floating cripples, as the operational ships fired their
particle beams and turbolaser bolts, ripping through Chris' fleet for
some two minutes, where the fleet, stunned, sensors blinded by the
awesome power of the Grand Cannon on overpower, were unable to respond.
However, the fleet was crippled; A counterstrike would wipe it out.
They had to leave now.
"Thelea... Fold, now!" Khyron ordered over the hyperwave transmitter.
"One moment.." she keyed the link to Sheppard. "We weren't able to
destroy any of this O'Farrel's ships, but a great many have lost
shields or had shield burnouts, and the planetary defence shields are
down. We've burnt out the Grand Cannon with that shot, we must escape.
You've got your window open.. Use it! Good luck!"
And then she gave the order. "Full fleet fold!"
And with that, the 98,000 odd survives, 43,000 crippled, with nearly
200,000 fighters and battlepods, a paltry sum from the number that had
joined battle, folded out of Earthspace for their new Robotech Factory
Satellite, to repair, regroup, rebuild, clone new troops, and prepare
for battle.. Some other time.
They'd done their part; They'd used themselves up. Now it was
Sheppard's turn, if he could take advantage of the lack of shields in
time.
((Thanks everyone for the fun! Since these threads were supposed to
draw this to a close before it got way out of hand, I am now
officially, actually, truely bowing out of this TGOD... Until the next
one, atleast. Death Star scale shielding, Chris. You should be more
respectful of it; Luckily so much damage was done, and you had so much
cover between yourself and me.))

The carnage was awesome, ship after ship was being
destroyed. Pro-FAQ and
Pro-Sheppard rebel ships both weree being slaughtered. Transcend sat back
aboard his cloaked ship, sensing it all from the Force. He was glad he had
returned to Imperial space to pick up more warships. The Boyd ISDs weren't
hard to find, clones make such a distinctive impression on the Force. Slowly
he directed his forces into point blank range. In a barage of overkill
Transcend had brought to bear 20 Interdictors per Boyd ISD. Suddenly
they
decloaked, and paired up. Each pair fired up a gravity well/repulser field
of incredible power. All of Boyd's ships were ripped to shreads in an
instant, however the Interdictors took massive hits from the rest of the
rebel forces. He ordered them to ingage their cloaking devices. Suddenly
the
cloak around his Command ship and it's escorts fell. "Who the kriffing hell
ordered the cloak down?", Transend asked. After a check of personell and
equipment, and an execution or two, it was discovered that the cloak was
online and working, but for some reason they were not cloaked. Word from
the
remaining fleet was similar, cloaks active, no effect. "What the kriffing
hell", said Transcend as he watched large numbers of his Interdictors
die....

withstood 16 Macross

to withstand 1000 DSII blasts....

*Incoming message from Admiral Valdemar of Contact fleet from 'Special
Circumstances' HQ*
I have watched as the two forces notably Sheppard's and the forces of
the ASVS FAQ (Kynes and C.S. Stowbridge) have fought for the past week
or so over the fate of this galaxy.
I have come to the conclusion that the fighters for the peace of the
ASVS, that is Kynes et al have been greatly outnumbered and outgunned.
Furthermore I find Sheppard's ideas of freedom a little too chaotic
and 'Special Circumstances' has made it their primary mission to
restore order to the ASVS galaxy like it was before.
The Culture will now be mobilising its fleets and assiting the allied
forces trying to quash the movement created by Sheppard.
Please note we do not set out to destroy innocent lives and
civilisations but if prompted we will use force to vanquish the anti-
FAQ campaign.

At least that's what LT. Hit-Man thought should have
happened, but didn't.
Instead he felt the force drain totally from the world around him, and felt
a massive surge of the dark side escape, leaving the planet an head into
hyperspace.
-Coruscant-
Transcend sat on his throne, contemplating the holodisplay before him.
Showing the holdings of the New Sith Empire, and surrounding space. He now
controlled 75% of the former New Republic, the remaining territory held
by
former New Republic forces, independent warlords really, with no cohesion,
and independent territories that had declared their neutrality. Transcend
switched the view, looking now at the Milky Way galaxy and primarily the
Sol
system. Forces on all sides had taken a heavy beating, and now there was
the
possibility of the Culture coming in as a peacekeeping force.
Suddenly Transcend felt a massive disturbance in the force, the strongest
in
all of history. Suddenly a massive surge of darkside energy swept through
him, he could hear a whispery tendril of thought, "We choose you." He knew
what was to be done and in a second every star system belonging to those
supporting the anti-FAQ alliance was destroyed, their stars detonated. The
force swept though and completely obliterated all forces disloyal to the
FAQ, every ship, every soldier, every attack vehicle, every base. Finally
for good measure every star belonging to the Borg exploded, killing
trillions of drones instantly. In one pulse of darkside energy, the most
yet, the planet Korriban was ripped from it's system and placed made into
a
double planetary system with Coruscant as it's twin. Finally the homeworld
of the Sith was where it belonged, at the heart of the New Sith Empire.
In
one last fit of darkside power LT. Hit-Man was reduced to his constituent
atoms, utterly obliterated. Throughout it all one voice echoed through his
mind, the combine voice of every Sith Lord who had ever existed, "We choose
you."

Oh. Well...
"WHAT!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, EARTH IS REASSEMBLED?" The commander of
Centerpoint II was in a real panic this time. "Ok, must calm down. Is the
Glowpoint still at full charge?" "Yes, it is." "Shut down the interdiction
and InImProb fields, and send Earth II back to Coruscant. Then have the
field generators powered up again." Jeez, the commander thought. First,
Bangladesh results in two Earths being created, one here and one in orbit
of
Coruscant; Graeme brings it back, Ancaris destroys it, we bring Mars into
its place, and Phong re-assembles Earth Alpha!
Ten minutes later...
"Fire."
The newly reassembled Earth, which had been causing some serious
gravitational disturbances, is drawn into a wormhole that sends it back
to
New Republic Coruscant. Moments later, the wormhole is closed.
Coruscant, twenty years after the Battle of Endor...

Okay, so what was copied from original Earth, and

Don't try to destroy anything. The Mega Maid only
sucked 20% of Earth Beta's
oceans away. Earth Alpha was the original, Earth Beta was the duplicate.
Earth Beta got destroyed then reassembled, then Centerpoint moved it out
of
the system. So it's pretty much cleared up now.

(Sorry that this took so long I have been having connection
problems
and OE has been screwing up and even when I could connect last night
for all of 10 minuits it wouldn't let me post this so I have had to
resort to drastic measures - this is therefore being posted from one of
the university libraries using Deja *shudder*)
"Sir the planetoid is accelerating towards our position" were the words
that greeted Rog as he strode onto the bridge of his flagship the ISS
Keeper of Secrets, the Imperial military executor had just used a
hypergate to transport from his command bunker his place being taken by
a substantial amount of the fleets troop complement.
"Engage phase cloak captain, this time we have the firepower to destroy
him and avenge Mars but if he catches us out in the open we will lose
our chance and the black hole missiles that thing fires will decimate
the fleet"
"Aye sir"
The order was given and the Imperial fleet all 72 tzeentch's and 24
slaanesh's phased out of the continuem. The reason for this was not
that a phase claok would protect them, unlike conventional weaponry 6th
Imperium ordenance would destroy them anyway. No this time the phase
cloak was actually being used for it's primary function of hiding the
ships. Abandoning the blockade of Earth (well one of them) Rog's ships
scattered throughout the system waiting for a chance to strike.
Aboard the Asgerd Kyle was beggining to tire of waiting for his foe to
appear so decided to spend the time destroying Heckler's fleet with
some of his support craft.
Seeing the smaller craft race across the system Rog decided that now
was the time to launch his assault. He hoped that his enemy would
have
been distracted by the lesser craft in the system but didn't really
expect that of such an experienced officer. Anyway he was an Imperial
and his ships couldn't hide for ever.
"Send a message to the Changer of Ways, have it take two squadrons of
tzeentch's with it and strafe the following co-ordinates on the Asgerd
the are designated attack group 1. Deploy a Slaanesh flight 4 to cover
them and have all Slaanesh's begin to replicate particle
disintergrator (galaxy gun) warheads."
"The are moving into position now"
Streaking past the Asgerd at a significant proportion of c the
Tzeentch's opened fire with the two heavy superlasers mounted on each
ship. Each cannon managed to fire two full power shots in the attack
as all power from their 24 weaker medium superlasers were being
redirected to the big guns. In a spectacular show of bad marksmanship
only 27 shots impacted on the specified area of shileds with several
htting different sections of the ships protective button and some
missing entirely as their ships were forced to swerve out of the path
of Imperium weapons. The rest of the shots however never had the
chance to be fired at all as 8 tzeentch's were wiped out of exsistance -
the planetoids weaponry smashed through light quantum crystalline
armour like it was tissue paper. As the battleships finished their
attack runs they engaged warp drives and fled to the edge of the system
to regroup with 48 fresh ships ready for the next charge.
[On the Keeper of Secrets]
"Not the best of starts" Rog remarked "Have all Slanesh's except our
flight move to support flight 4 and have them commence sustained
bombardment with their medium superlasers (36 per ship they are
significantly weaker than heavy superlasers though). Their heavier
shields and armour should make them last longer than the Tzeentch's.
Our flight will take up the slack in PD warhead production."
"Their are several squadrons of lighter ships that have been launched
from the Asgerd our fighters and gunships are moving to intercept."
As this went on the Tzeentch's broke by pairs and moved into position
ready to proceed with pop-up attacks on the giant vessel...
(Over to you Kyle, I hope this was a good enough start)

"Zentreadi Primary Cannon shattered all 50 layers of shielding,
mirror
shield still holding."
"Kriff."
"Intel really kriffed us over this time. Zentreadi ships were
more
powerful than we expected."
"What happened to the Dubtaks?"
"There's that crisis in Milky Way Eta going on."
"Damn it! Estimated recharge time?"
"Fifty-nine hours before they return to full strength, any
faster and
we'll blow the converters."
"Activate the back-up grid."
"Yes sir."
Down south in Antarctica, a makeshift garrison base came on-line,
5
additional shield generators activated and Earth was covered once again.
Imperium Hyper Shields covered the generators in their precarious location.

"Ahhhh it is indeed an interesting war" was all Wilkens
had to say to
Breen.
"But it appears we arrived too late for the real fight, O'Farrell's
fleet has moved below the shield, Theela is withdrawing, and Sheppard
is busy destroying O'Farrell's clone over the duplicate earth." Breen
enjoyed a good fight and Theela's dissappearence had dissappointed him.
" Regardless of the fact that I'd hesitate to even put the Peacekeeper
and her sisters up against that monstrosity even with the shielding we
have, hell it took out almost everything around earth." Fleet Admiral
D'Jul was the pragmatist of the group.
" Yes and they've managed to rebuild a few, still with O'Farrell almost
completely out of it for the moment that leaves us gaurding earth from
Sheppard should he come calling at least until O'Farrell repairs, Kynes
brings some friends in, of Knopf brings his buddies" Field Marshal
Kl'vit, always thinking one step ahead.
" How are the troops doing, bring up the Tac display" Wilkens ordered.
In the middle of the CIC a new hologram spruing to life showing the
deployment of his divisions around earth. Powered Armor gives great
mobility and his men were well versed in using it as they went about
securing almost all of NA, destroying the few remaining clones,
penguins, and assorted other forces still giving the council a running
fight. It was a dictum as old as war, a fleeing enemy only looks behind
to the enemy itknows is coming not the enemy in front who has yet to
show himself. With a single private carrying the equivalent of an old
tank division in terms of firepower the 20th, 97th, and 102nd Mobile
Infantry Corps secured North America and began setting up a defensive
perimiter around the continent with various air support units branching
out north, south, east, and west looking for targets.
" They've done well, if Sheppard wants the council he's gonna have to
come through us now," was Wilkens simple assessment. " Deploy the fleet
in Geostationary orbit over North America, but make sure the M-Wings
and Viper Wings are patrolling all the perimiter, I don't want
unexpected suprises."
" Sir in that case we might want to push the patrols out about ten
diameters and get the Interdictors powered up on all levels, we aren't
sure if they'll work against Theela's ships but she seems to have
left." That was De'Jud again.
" Do it, and tell everyone we are on Yellow 2 alert, and for Force's
sake make sure we have those jammers up, I know they aren't as powerful
as that Aegis system but if they are running we'll stand at least half
a chance."
With a grace uncustom for a ship the size of some counties and states
in the US the Peacekeeper and her sisters moved out and blossomed over
NA, waiting for the next attack.

"Sir, the 17th drop taskforce reports that they've
arrived to the party
late but are now here." Pit officers knew the information would be
welcome news to Wilkens ear and especially Kl'vit's who had been angry
at leaving a tenth of his troops stranded outside sol when then had
made the final jump to the edge of the system.
" Very well, we need to start securing Europe, tell them to jump in and
do a full drop on the British Isles and France, that'll make the going
easier since we can establish a beachead without a fight in one locale
and devot most of this army group to the isles" was the response from
Kl'vit's position. "Signal them."
"Admiral De'Jud tell the 1st Fleet that they'll be covering Northern
Europe until such time as we get reinforcements." Wilkens was almost
giddy at the ease with which he was moving about the system but he
would not have but a few hours before Sheppard would come calling, of
that he was sure. "Also start brining up the 12th and 17th corps for
redeployment, they'll be needed elsewhere when our support elements
catch up."
That was that. The dropships jumped into cherenkov and quickly back
out. Slaming around even the most hardened soldiers they began their
braking pattern over the Isles and the coast of France. Launching
millions of troopers in their cocoons as well as a million or so
dummies the fleet served its purpose delivering the 122nd, 123rd, and
145th Corps to the surface of Earth before jumping out.

'Stand by to engage atmospheric thrusters' Chris ordered
as he moved back
onto the flag bridge.
'Aye. Atmospheric thrusters and anti-gravs at full'
The _O'Farrells Revenge_ and her support fleet moved down through the
stratosphere and into the troposphere towards Australia. It had not been
the
scene of much fighting thus far and was perfect for an LZ. Gradulay the
_O'Farrells Revenge_ approached a location between Canbera and Sydney and
hundreds of landing claws extened. The underside weapons were retracted
and
many shifted along internal tracks to re-emerge in the upper hull.
'Shut down main engines and prepare for landing' Chris said as he looked
at
the hologrpahic verwscreens image of the nice countryside around. 200 meters
up they were comming down at a rate of 5 meters a second. 10 meters from
the
ground the landing claws made contact. The 2 forward wings had been swept
up
and level with the primary hull as well as forward somewhat. The deck shook
as the lower hull made contact and sunk 100 meters into the ground.
Within a few seconds the ship started to change shape. The triangular hull
flattened out to be more level with the ground. The 'Buildings' on the top
spread out slightly and the weapons were moved to give better fields of
fire.
Within 10 minuites, the _O'Farrells Revenge_ had turned into a giant
surface-born battle station. The reflex cannons were mounted in turrets
and
were raised to be able to sweep the sky like spotlights. In fact, the only
weapon that could not be fired anymore was of course the superlaser.
The same landing and transformation came over the Supers and Executors and
most of the Federatoin designs then landed at spaceports extended from the
ships. A dozen starships and 500 fighters started patroling the area. The
whole encampment was then covered in the most powerful theater shield that
existed, capable of shruging off (just) a Death Star blast. This extended
up
into the atmosphere to 10 klicks below the first planatery shield layer.
Well there you have it. My forces are now on Earth and I am bowing out of
this TGOD for now. This TGOD appears to be drawing to a close (unless the
culture get involved) and I just wish to exist in peace until the next one.

Ok...since i'm bored, we're gonna do it the "Spaceballs
marriage style" :-)
Everybody is killing each other in the outer solar systen, and only
O'Farrell is in position to stop Sheppard. Massive space battle
ensues....Sheppards AEGIS SSD, the _Bilbringi_, gets blown into dust,
but not before slaughtering thousands of massive corps-level transports...
Finally, it comes down to just three ships in orbit over Jupiter [Don't
ask
how they got there....]
"Sir! He's in too close for us to use our Shipwrecks!" shouted a officer
on
the _Hoth's_ bridge.
"Shit! Use the ABLs!"
On the hull of both the _Hoth_ and _Yavin_, the only two ships of
Sheppards' left -, hundreds of small metal boxes on the hull
opened up, each holding four Boydpoons each in a horizontal
position.
"Fire!"
Hundreds of Boydpoons streaked out from the two remaining
SSDs at O'Farrel's last ship, the _Cleaners' Bane II_. In return,
the _Bane_ opened up with all of her main batteries at point-blank
range.
Both sides' ships shuddered under the impact of each others' weapons.
"His shields are weakening!" an officer shouted.
"Good, Keep it up!" ordered Sheppard.
[Bridge of _Bane_]
"Our shields are close to collapse, sir!"
"Goddammit!" yelled Chris. "Concentrate all
your fire on the lead enemy ship!"
Moments later, a onslaught of turbolaser bolts slammed
into the _Bilbringi_, easily overwhelming the already weak
shields. One bolt penetrated into the forward missile magazine...
In a massive explosion that for a few brief seconds, a new star as bright
as the Sun was born as all of the stored SM-3ERs, Shipwreck IIs, and
Boydpoons blew.
When the initial flash disappeared, and the sensors returned to normal,
the _Bilbringi_ was floating dead in space, the first 4 km of her mass
completely atomized, along with massive damage to the surviving sections
of
the ship.
"YES!" O'Farrell shouted. "Turn your guns onto the _Hoth_, Commander!"
"Yessir!"
[At that same moment on the _Hoth_]
"Sir! Reorientation of the ship is complete! Our VLS tubes are now within
LOS of the Cleaners' Bane II!"
[On both ships]
"Fire!" Sheppard and O'Farrell both yelled simultaneously, and the last
naval broadside of the war was unleashed...
The Shipwreck IIs, by now pointing at the _Bane_, struck it, crippling the
ship in a series of titanic explosions. Meanwhile, the _Banes_ turbolasers
blew enormous gouges out of the _Hoth's_ hull, leaving the entire
upper surface of the _Hoth_ a glowing mass of slag.
Unfortunately for O'Farrell, in the last five minutes the two surviving
ships had drifted into a decaying orbit over Jupiter. Sheppard,
sensing an opportunity, ordered the last tractor beam
emitter on the _Hoth_ to full power and used it to push the
_Bane_ down into the Jovian atmosphere.
O'Farrell tried to boost his way out, but the strain on his
weakened engines was too much, and they blew.
"All hands! This is O'Farrell! Abandon ship! Abandon Ship!"
Growling with rage, O'Farrell ran onto his personal shuttle located
in his personal hangar, which was located on the back of the
bridge spine. Punching out at full power, Chris watched hundreds of
thousands of life pods punching out of his pride and joy as it began it's
irreversible dive into the immense pressures of the Jovian atmosphere.
Minutes later, the surface of Jupiter lit up with a bright white flash as
the _Bane_ imploded from the immense pressures surrounding it.
But alas, for Sheppard, it was a pyhrric victory, for he only had one
massively damaged SSD and moderately damaged one left out of
his fleet of four SSDs.
Only a hundred or so out of the thousands of transports reached the Earth's
orbit, and there, SEATO Air Defense Artillery took over, shooting dozens
down with their Boydiot BAC-4 SAMs.
Meanwhile, Operation Boydphoon was about to begin on Earth. 20 Corps
of Sirensha had been called up (unfortunately Pablo, they had a counter
for
your nanites, and after all, they threatened to melt the polar ice caps
and
flood the Earth if you deployed the nanites. Sorry :-p ), along with the
Army of Northern Boyds, consisting of 23 Corps, now completely rebuilt
after the distastrous Gettysburg offensive of Fall '99. The Disciples of
Wong still loyal to SEATO also were contributing a single Corps of light
infantry.
In Argentina, Deimos had pledged his remaining forces to SEATO,
equal to 11 Corps. From his base in Antartica, Lord Edam also had
placed 11 Corps of his finest Penguin Rocket Infantry under SEATO
control.
SEATO had 66 Corps, each consisting of 150,000 men, for a
total of 10 million troops.
Breakdown:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
23 Corps Boyd 3,450,000 Troops
20 Corps Sirensha 3,000,000 Troops
11 Corps Deimos 1,650,000 Troops
11 Corps Edam 1,650,000 Troops
1 Corps DoW 150,000 troops
------------------------------------------------------------------------
66 Corps Total 10 million troops total.
Against this, the Kynsian regime had nearly 13,333 Corps of
troops, for a total of 2 Billion troops.
Unfortunately for the Kynsians, SEATO was about to employ the
weapons so beloved of by Ronald Reagan and his SecDef,
Caspar Weinburger...2 kiloton "Enhanced Radiation" devices,
along with the NDEWs developed during the 80s for
Reagan's "Star Wars" project.
Or as everyone called them; neutron bombs and
nuke explosion powered energy weapons.
Thousands of them had been sent to SEATO forces in the
field as 155mm rocket-propelled shells, MRLS warheads,
and gravity bombs for aircraft, while whole constellations
of NDEWs orbited Earth, unseen by Kynsian eyes, due to
their advanced stealth features.
With a brillant flash lighting up the midnight sky, Operation Boydphoon
commenced. Using data gathered from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles,
the XM-666 2 kt "enhanced radiation" shells roared through the
still night sky, guided to the Kynsian formations using GPS guidance
based on coordinates uploaded from the UAVs prior to firing.
Minutes later, after flights of 60 kilometers, the first XM-666s began
detonating, pouring millions of rads of hard radiation onto the exposed
Kynsian forces, killing hundreds of millions of Kynsian troops instantly,
and irraddating hundreds of millions more, who would die in the coming
hours or days.
In orbit, the NDEWs picked their targets, Kynsian POL
(Petroleum/Oil/Lubricant) dumps, ammo dumps, and maintenance depots
that extended for hundreds of kilometers behind the front lines to ensue
that the Kynsian forces in the field were at peak efficency. Also
programmed in were nearby Kynsian NBC decontam units, to ensue that
prompt treatement of radiation sickness was not forthcoming in the
coming days.
Thousands of nuclear weapons exploded in orbit, and their energy was
redirected and foccussed by the NDEWS satellites before their destruction
from the energies they unleashed. Down below, on earth, every major Kynsian
supply and logistics depot was atomized, dooming the Kynsian forces to
either win the war NOW or starve to death (hey, 2 billion troops in a
continent holding 400 million already? Better start landing ISDs full of
food or everyone starves)
Protected by their armored vehicles' shielding, the SEATO forces simply
moved to the outer edge of the irradated zones and shot anyone leaving,
and looked for Kynsian forces not caught in the irradated areas at the
time of the blast..,The forces in the hot zones were of no revelance,
since they were either..a.) dead, b.) puking their guts out and about to
die in 5 hours or c.) about to die in a day or two.
As the SEATO forces advanced, the Sirensha troops moved out and
began slaughtering all Kynsians they found. No quarter was given, nor
was any accepted. Kynsian units that surrendered were lined up and
machine gunned to death.
Millions of Sirensha had died despite the counter to the nanites unleashed
upon them by the Kynsians, and now the Sirensha were extracting terrible
revenge...
Captured female Kynsian soldiers were given a choice....rape or the bullet.
(the Red Army did this with German women in the closing days of WWII)
Like avenging angels, the Sirensha swept onwards, the Kynsian forces
crumbling under their ferocious assault. Even Sheppard, a Sirensha himself,
was surprised at the speed of their advance.
[One Week Later]
SEATO forces had recovered most of their lost territory, through the
Sirenshan troops' fighting spirit. Untold atrocities had been committed
in the name of REVENGE against the Kynsians.
Even now, Boyd Ski Troops were just penetrating the outer reaches of
the Rockies, although the war had bogged down a bit, as the Kynsians
regrouped and reattacked.
It was at this junction of the war, that Sheppard returned to oversee
ground operations. Gathering his special units, he began laying out
the tasks he had in mind.....
[Tree-top level - Near Denver, Colorado]
The black-painted MV-53E Pave Lows roared over the snow-capped mountains
towards their target - a house in the vinicity of Denver.
[45 minutes later]
Kynes walked out of the Blockbuster store, with a bunch of movies to watch
with his girlfriend on his day off from the omni-present ASVS Council
meetiings that now occured almost hourly ever since the Rebellion (that
was
how he referred to it) had started.
Suddenly, the roar of gunfire shattered the night, as dozens of black-clad
Disciples of Wong jumped out of the darkness, submachine guns blazing.
Screaming, Kynes pulled out the hold-out blaster concealed in his
left shoe (he had been carrying it ever since the Rebellion started),
and returned fire, turning the chest of the nearest Disciple into a
steaming mass of red goo.
Windows shattering all around him, Kynes ran into the shopping center,
planning to elude his pursuers in the crowds.
Alas, the Disciples wouldn't play by the rules: they gunned down everyone
between them and a Direct Line of Sight with Kynes. (think Terminator I
here, people)
Blasting the lock off a door to a maintenance tunnel, Kynes ducked into
the tunnel, and from his other shoe, withdrew his Crysknife, and waited
for his assailants in the pitch-black tunnel (he'd shot the lights out).
Kynes heard the door open, and when he was relatively sure all of them were
now in the tunnel, and the door then closed, he leapt out of the shadows
with a fierce cry, activicating his Dune-derived shield.
The Disciples tried to gun him down, but their shots riocheted uselessly
off the shield, being too fast to penetrate. In slow motion, Kynes stabbed
each Disciple in the chest between the seams of their body armor.
Seconds later, it was all over. Five Disciples of Wong lay on the floor,
their lifeblood pouring out onto the cold hard concrete floor, submachine
guns hanging uselessly from their hands.
Grabbing the one assassin who showed the most signs of life, Kynes
screamed; "WHO SENT YOU? TELL ME NOW!" while holding the
Crysknife to the man's throat.
The Disciple coughed wetly, his blood spraying out of his mouth, as he
took his last gasping breaths of this world.
"WHO SENT YOU?!?!"
Suddenly, without warning, the Disciple stabbed Kynes in the leg
with a hidden syringe full of a strange black liquid. "You will never
win, despoiler of ASVS! Long live the Glory that is Thelea!" That
was
all he managed to get out, because at that point, Kynes literally
sliced his head off at the throat for stabbing him.
Kynes dropped to the floor, screaming as his leg burned up
from the pain of whatever the SOB had injected him with. The world
faded to black, and Kynes mercifully lost consciousness, and with that,
all possibility of feeling pain.
[Somewhere else - Same time]
Pablo ran through the darkened streets, his lungs and legs burning with
extertion as he tried to get away from his unknown assailants. They'd
broken into his house, and tried to gun him down, but he'd escaped.
Suddenly, from behind a bush, Pablo saw a black clad figure jump up,
a rifle in it's hands. Pablo caught the briefest glimpse of a blue ring
before he blacked out.
[Much Much Later]
Strowbridge and Sonnenburg both stared in shock at Kynes, who
was standing up in his chair in the latest ASVS council meeting,
holding a pair of blasters on the two of them.
"What's the meaning of this, Kynes?!?!?" Strobridge yelled.
"Silence, FOOL!" replied Kynes, as he backhanded Strowbridge with the
butt of his blaster, sending stars shooting through Strowbridge's head.
"The meaning, you ask? Why, It's now that I see everything clearly now!
You! You are all plotting against me!" Kynes screamed, his voice that
of a deluded lunatic.
He saw everything all so clearly ever since that night. Although he had
lost his leg from the effects of the liquid, it had opened his mind to the
truth.
Everyone was plotting against him.
*Everyone*
Flicking the ASVS-wide broadcast button on his commpanel, Kynes
began to speak to ASVS.
"Attention, denizens of ASVS. Your glorious Councilmember, Kynes Highwind,
has detected a perfidious plot against ASVS; It's perpetrators - none other
than my fellow councilmembers!"
Taking a breath, Kynes continued. "Their leadership in the just concluded
war was severely lacking - if ASVS is ever to triumph against such a strong
enemy, it shall need a leader just as strong! I am that leader! From
Henceforth on, the ASVS Council is dissolved!"
Maniac energy blazing in his eyes, Kynes then gave the fateful
announcement:
"Long Live the Kynsian Imperate!"
[At that moment - Bangladesh - Geoschrynous orbit over the Atlantic Ocean]
Sheppard relaxed. It had been a week since Rob Dalton and Phong Nguyen,
horrified at the devastation unleashed on ASVS during the last great
offensive of what was being called the First ASVS War, had brokered an
armistice and cease-fire between the ASVS Council and SEATO.
The Cease-fire had left SEATO in control of the eastern half of the
North American Continent all the way to a line running from Winnipeg in
the
north to Dallas in the south. After pushing to the outskirts of Denver,
the
Kynsian forces had pushed SEATO back to the present armistice
boundaries.
Right now, Sheppard was on the Bangladesh orbiting anomaly along
with representatives from the major factions of both the Kynsian
Imperate (which was what the ASVS council had changed it's name to
five minutes ago ), and SEATO forces.
At the behest of Rob Dalton, they were all here for the
Bangladesh Naval Treaty, a far-ranging treaty banning the use
of nanites, and in general superweapons, plus excessive
fleet sizes.
Right now, the delegates were bickering amongst themselves
over the correct ratio or limitations to use. Such as:
Should the O'Farrell Faction have 4 ISDs for every 3 owned by the Sirensha?
Should Thelea be limited to just 25,000 Zentredi ships? Should the Grand
Cannon be dismantled?
Right now, the current 'table' version allowed SEATO to build up to a ratio
of 5:3, which was for every 5 ships the Kynsian Imperate built, SEATO
would have 3 ships.
Sheppard yawned, right now, he had nothing left, but then again, neither
did anyone else - the 1st ASVS War had been that destructive.
The _Yavin_ had had a temporary plasteel bow installed to allow her to
reach a repair yard, and the biggest hull breaches had been sealed.
Meanwhile, the _Hoth_ was mostly repaired now, and was the
most powerful single capship in the solar system right now.
Sheppard chuckled, remembering O'Farrel taking part in the debates,
even though he had no fleet left. Sheppard then mulled over sending
Chris a plastic model of the _Cleaners Bane II_ to rub it in. :-)
His commlink beeped.
"Yes?"
"It's time for some Grand Theft, SSD!" a voice said on the link, which]
was audio only.
Wait....whose voice was that? OH NO! O'FARRELLs!
"O'Farrell!" screamed Sheppard as he bolted out of the main conference
hall towards Dock 39A, where his two ships were docked. Jumping out
of the turbolift, he saw the _Hoth_ slowly backing out of it's berth
through the massive transparisteel windows of the dock control
section.
Running into the tunnel connecting Bangladesh to the _Bilbringi_,
Sheppard screamed through his commlink for them to start up the
engines.
At that moment, there were several dull thuds throughout the _Bilbringi_.
"What's that?" asked Sheppard as he ran towards a turbolift to take him
to the bridge.
"Sht! Sir! Sabotage! Our main drive's power converters just blew! We have
no power to the engines!"
"Sir, Incoming Transmission!" shouted a crewer as Sheppard as
he stepped onto the auxilary bridge of the _Bilbringi_ (the main
bridge had been blown off).
"Put it on." he growled.
In the main holotank, the smiling visage of Chris O'Farrell appeared.
"Didn't your mommy ever tell you never to leave your ship unlocked?"
taunted Chris.
"YOU COCK SUCKING SON OF A BITCH! IF I EVER CATCH UP WITH YOU,
I'LL RIP YOUR FUCKING PROSTRATE OUT AND SELL YOUR NUTS TO
A BARBEQUE PLACE AS GENUINE BULL TESTCLES!!!" Sheppard
screamed.
"Toodle oo, old Chap." with that, the transmission cut off.
[Bridge of the _Hoth_]
Chris laughed. He was now in command of the most powerful surviving ship
left. He also had stole it. From Sheppard. This was rich!
It had been ridiculously easy - a little nerve gas pumped into the
environmental systems had done the trick.
Powering away from Bangladesh at flank speed to evade pursuit,
O'Farrell's helmsman never noticed the TIE Defender that got in
his way..
In a shower of sparks, the armored bow of the _Hoth_ struck the
_Fearmeister_, totally blindsiding Hit-Man, and whacking off
one of the three 'wings' of the TIE Defender.
O'Farrel wondered why the helmsman had suddenly gone chalky white.
"What's wrong, Son?"
""Sir....Sir! We're all gonna die!" screamed the crewer as he broke down
in a fit of crying.
Wondering why a grown man was sobbing on the deck, Chris took a look
at the helm console. And he noticed the _Fearmeister_ spinning out of
control.
"OH FUCKING SHIT!" yelled Chris as he felt the first icy tendrils of death
wrap around his heart. He slammed his fist down on the Hyperdrive engage
button.
With a bright glow from it's engines, the _Hoth_ jumped into hyperspace,
completing O'Farrell's Grand Theft, SSD and leaving one very pissed LT
behind. :-)

Xtreme looking at the events being shown by his trusty Orb, he waved his

"Childish indeed." Came a reply.
Xtreme looked up and saw a figure approaching him. "Ahhhh Honourable

Come on this can't be the end. The FAQ forces have lost to an inferior
enemy. I propose we hit back and HARD quickly enough with our remaining
forces so that we may restore order to the galaxy, or perish under
MKShepperds regime.
My forces are poised to attack and will not be deterred by the Homomdan

Let me put it this way, Sheppard and Boyd don't work
together, they just
don't. Here's a sample of what happens in a typical meeting between
Boyd and Sheppard:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sheppard, but we removed all your equipment in
transport. In fact we removed everything from you including your
clothes. You aren't going to be able to conceal any useful tricks this
time. And don't try escaping. You are kept in place by a high power
forcefield. It will be futile."
Sheppard stared at the hologram that had appeared in front of him. The
hologram of Boyd.
"You look confused Mr Sheppard. Allow me to explain. The clone you
assumed was me is nothing more than an apprentice. Certainly he is a
formidable warrior and highly intelligent, but he does not compare to
me. I am quite safely hidden away from you. Not that you will be a
threat much longer. I'm afraid out little game will have to come to an
end. Evil Overlord's don't take kindly to terrorists. Good-bye Mr.
Sheppard."
With that, the image went translucent and the last thing Sheppard saw as
a score of Grunts opened up, riddling him with poisoned bullets, each
one of which would kill him instantly, was the hungry, leering grin on
Boyd's face.
"Have his body disassembled and scattered by the transporter," ordered
the Boyd Apprentice. He watched as the blood soaked carcass shimmered
from view and reached out with the Force. Yes, Sheppard was gone for
good."
And buy the way Rog, if you want my TGOD posts to help with archiving
them, I have them all saved in my archives.

I think I have the perfect rework of all these senarios
with the
reality posted long before sheppard posted the latest so here goes.
Wilkens smiled broadley. Sheppard had come calling but with only two of
his battleships comabt ready his taskforce had sliced through them. Not
without losses of course. All across the sol system were the remains of
thousands of ships ranging from diminutive Ranger-class gunships to the
flaming hulks of two of his own Eclipses.
The greatest part of the victory was still to come though. For in the
midst of the wreackage there had been one lifepod of considerable
importance. Even now watching Sheppards smile Wilkens felt like a child
ready to open his christmas present.
When they had found sheppard he was unconcious with some short term
memory damage. Instantly realizing the opportunity presented wilkens
had immediately strapped him into a virtual reality chair of his own
design. From the consoles surrounding sheppard his own technicians had
implanted in Sheppard the idea that his forces were crushing resistance
on the way to completely taking over from the council.
Now that very council was gathered around Sheppard to await the moment
he would be awakened to reality.
" Now sir, he thinks its just about wake up time the day after his
victory," came the call from the senior technician.
" Take off the equipment," Wilkens responded. " Lets wake up sleeping
beauty."
Slowly overcoming the apparent fatigue from days spent consolidating
his position on Earth Sheppard awoke to se... Kynes, Strowbridge,
O'Farrell, and .. Wilkens. What the hell were they doing here he
thought.
" You'll have to admire Wilkens' people," Kynes started. "They really
had some ingeneous ideas to put in your head. In fact you probably
think the DoW got to me and had me rampaging about like a lunatic."
Wilkens picked up there. " In fact I'd like to introduce you to the new
map of the world, everywhere pro-Council forces are in control is in
green."
"But the whole damn Earth is green," came Shepparrd's shocked reply
" Well not the oceans but that's just a short time away," was
Stowbridges contribution. " Boyd's in full retreat and Theela's forces
are a shadow of their former selves."
"Noooooo," Shepparrd screamed. " It can't be I was ruling earth when I
went to sleep."
" You can thank the latest in sensory imersion and depravation
technology for that," was Wilkens simple statement. " Now we're gonna
play a simple game. Each of the participants here has a button in front
of them. For each time you've attempted harm, mental or emotional on
them during the rebellion they get the chance to press that button.
What happens then, well I think you might notice the electrodes straped
to either side of your testicles."
"Oh and in case you're wondering sir," came the voice of a junior
technician. " Those bonds are reinforced quantum crystalline armor that
have been surgically attached to your body. You are also in a force and
telepathy null zone so pretty much you're stuck."
" I'll begin" said O'Farrell. " and in case you're wondering those
balls are also in bacta so you'll heal up just fine because we have a
lot of wrongs to correct. Now let's see first of......"

(Yes I know the TGOD is over, but I've been having
computer problems.
Let me finish this, OK?)
(I'll say this is after the large battle with Sheppard, Thelea and Boyd
forces. So I'm low on fighters and most of the parasite ships are
scattered through the system.)
"Order Wing 196 to fall back to section Alpha
2-98 Bravo. I want them
to set up an ambush for the lead gunship wing." Knopf spun towards his
master display and called up an overall view. At the center was a
massive sphere representing the Belisarius. Several ships of about 20 km
length could be seen firing devastating blasts capable of destroying
planets. He watched the shields flash from bright green to light green
as the concentrated blasts hit home on single shielding sections, it
would be some time before they'd be able tow ere down the shields, if
they could at all.
He watched the lead gunships approach his ambush,
then the table
turned. A group of Destroyers and Light Cruisers came out of cloak and
blasted the fighter from behind, they then turned and together with the
gunships swept behind the fighter screen and caused almost 20% losses
before the screen re oriented to the new threat. Then another force
appeared, this time a mixture of Heavy Cruisers and Frigates. Together
with a group of fighters launched from another group of phase cloaked
ship, this time light carriers. They hit the confused fighters from the
flanks as the Heavy Cruisers attacked from the rear and the Destroyer
and Light Cruisers supported by the gunships hit them head on.
The Star Marshall watched with interest, but
knew there was little he
could do. That type of fight couldn't be micro managed, right now it was
all up to his wing and squadron commanders, and the pilots themselves of
course.
He instead set his eyes on the main force of
superlaser equipped ships.
The range was to close for missiles, so he ordered main energy batteries
to engage the enemy ships.
The first heavy ship destroyed was a Slaanesh
that got unlucky, it's
screen of dozens of battleships and scores of cruiser was picked off by
the energy batteries. Five beams of pure gravitonic energy hit the ship
head on, the shields held for three seconds, then ten more hit, the
shields fell, another five beams hit. The ship exploded, it was
incredible. The entire ship became a fission bomb as it was torn apart
on the sub-atomic level. When the beams stopped firing nothing was left
larger then a proton. It had taken less then eight seconds.
The Belisarius became death incarnate. Nothing
could save the ships of
Rog's fleet, the sensor had been adjusted now picked up his ships hidden
in phase cloak. The captain of one of the cloaked ships watched the
devastation unfold around him. He saw his division mate go up in a
massive fireball, it took him a second to understand what that meant.
He'd forgotten that the weapons of the Imperium were gravity based, a
phase cloaked ship was immune to everything except gravity. Several
hundred ships exploded before they realized the truth. They immediately
dropped from cloak and joined the attack.
Rog's fleet was dying faster then moths in a
bonfire. They had only one
hope. He'd managed to destroy the fighters so he was now safe from that
threat. He ordered every ship in his fleet to begin a massive attack on
a single point. The heavy ships at the center and the lighter ones at
the edge. Teraton missiles pounded the shields as planet destroying
beams poured energy on the shields.
The fighters and light vessel soon died there
only function to serve as
ablative armor for the heavy ships. The strategy finally paid off. A
single shielding section failed. Every ship in the armada rushed in,
eager to finally attack the bare hull of the monster that killed
billions of fellow officers and crewers. Instead they saw a second
shield. Then the outer shield compensated and closed the breach.
Rog's entire fleet was now caught between the
two shields of the
Belisarius...
(I don't care if this is supposed to be over. My computer fucked me over
and I've been wanting to do a large battle with my Asgerd for a long
time)
Interesting situation huh Rog?

(OK I have a few ideas on how to deal with this but
I think that a LOT more
ships of mine are going bye bye)
About 90 Imperial ships hung inside the space between the Asgerd's inner
and
outer shield. Rog cursed his captains for being so stupid as to allow
this
but he knew that it was more likely due to the sensor jamming produced by
the Planetoid that they hadn't detected the second shield layer. He
had one
chance to deal with this problem and if the star marshall recognised what
he
was doing then it was almost certainly fail - of course he could run the
Aing Tii stardrive was probably capable of jumping out of this suituation
if
it was fed enough power and Rog wasn't sure if the Tzeentch's could make
the
jump, further more it would probably burn out the drives on the Slaanesh's
leaving them to cross a hostile galaxy sector by sector using hypergate
generators designed for deploying armies not moving ships. It was
on these
hypergate generators though that his chance rested...
Each of the 10 remaining Slaanesh's in the fleet had about 3 Tzeentch's
and
a few cruisers (mostly Wyvern I's and II's) that had survived hanging in
space around it Rog was going to sacrifice some of these smaller ships in
order to reach his goal.
"Order two Tzeentch's to evacuate their crew and slave their computers to
this bridge." Rog turned to the chief engineer
"Can we open a hypergate for each of our Slaanesh's and Tzeentch's to the
two evacuated ships reactor cores and send a large power transfere though?"
"Well yes but why..." he paused as he saw what Rog was planning.
Under
normal circumstances it would bve considered lunacy but as glancing out
the
windows and seing another of the "keeper of secrets" escorts die in flame
it
occured to him that this was definatley not a normal circumstance.
"Sir if you channel half the weapons power of the fleet to each ship then
it's reactor will overload in 20 seconds, but you could fire a very high
powered superlaser blast at about 19 seconds. It would rip the ship
apart b
ut the shot would be a dozen times more powerful than normal. Two
of them
firing together combined with the force of the resulting explosion if it
is
near enough to the shield perimeter should bring down a section.
"You took the words right out of my mouth commander, perpare to commece
on
my word. Comms inform the other ships highest level code I don't want
the
enemy reading this"
"How long it will stay down is a different matter" the engineer continued
unless we can get something in there to knock out the generators for that
section they can bring it back up and about a minute."
"Leave that to me, before we begin with the Tzeentch's I want every Slaanesh
in the fleet to hypergate the crew off one of their cruiser escorts and
replace them with 20 with the galaxy gun warheads that they have been
replecating - increase jamming I don't want them to know what we are
sending over."
Seeing that the perparations were ready Rog ordered the energy transfere
to
begin. The battleships raced forward braving a hail of fire and discharged
their superlasers before succombing to an explosive end. The hole
that this
opened in the shield section was enough. 10 cruisers followed them
forward - on the Asgerd the Star Marshall had ordered defensive firepowerd
to be increaed so in the seconds it took for them to reach the surface of
the Asgerd 4 had been shot down. Out of the first group of 5 only
one
impacted but it was enough - a single galaxy gun missile was enough to kill
and unshielded planet, of course since this used NDF the Asgerd had
significantly better defenses against it and the "fireship" that the cruiser
had become didn't do that much damage but kncked out the generator for the
downed section of the inner shield and several weapons batteries in the
area - making it less likely that the 5 cruisers also packed with warheads
would be shot down and if they hit it would cause a little bit more
significant damage to the planetoid, still not enough to destroy it but
in
the confusion the remaining superlaser equiped ships should be able to press
home their advantage. Unfortunately for Rog he was fast running out
of
them.
(Your turn - I hope that this tactic wasn't too outlandish :)

(Nice tactics)
"Sector Epsilon-Ro-190-B has received moderate
damage. Energy batteries
have been disabled and we've received moderate damage to the armor.
Shield projectors were destroyed, shields are adapting to cover the
hole."
"OK, I want all jammers on max, our biggest
advantage in this fight,
other then firepower, is co ordination. He has to attempt to control
thousands of ships, I've only got one."
The jammers began to pump out unbelievable amounts
of raw energy
through all communication bands, some of them unknown even to Rog. On
his flagship, "Recharging superlaser and will a...
XDFHGDFUGDFHGDSDKFLHGKLHGFDJGSDFJDHGFBSTGVERNGVCHJNTRGCUIEHGRFCEUDHFCDUF."
"Shut it off! Boost all power to ECCM I need
to contact the other
ships." Rog screamed at his comm and electronic warfare officers.
"I'm sorry sir, there's nothing we can do. That
ship can put several
thousand orders of magnitude more energy into it's jammers then we can
into our comm systems. Not only that they seem to have some unbelievable
type of AI controlling it, even if we had the power we don't have the
computing capacity to beat it."
Rog knew this probably meant the end of his
fleet. With out
communications each ship would have to operate independently and
wouldn't be able to cover each other. Then it happened, the Belisarius
went to full combat mode. Hyper guns would reach and pluck parts of the
ships into hyperspace, while the energy weapons vaporized almost all of
his ships.
It was pure chaos, soon the only ships left
were the Slaanesh three
sister ships and a few escorts. It was a pitiful force compared to the
thousands he'd started with. He fully expected to be wiped out in less
then a second, but he wasn't, instead carefully timed energy beams
knocked down eh shields and then hyper beams removed every weapon mount,
the main reactor, and the engines. Then a tractor beam began to reel the
ships in...

"Go, go, go!"
Squads of marines form several thousand dropships dived into space, igniting
their small thrusterpacks. The dash to the Asgerd's hull was short, but
by
no means uneventful. Laser and plasma shots filled space around them as
the
Belisarius' weapons tried to come to bear on the invasion force, but the
dropships successfully delivered over 70% of their 12,000 strong force,
enough to seize control of a small portion of the Asgerd.
BFA-32 smiled in satisfaction as the report was delivered. The jamming was
interfering heavily was conventional communications, but the psychic link
between the Boyd was still perfectly usable. His expeditionary force, up
until recently occupied with annihilating USENET privateers preying on Boyd
shipping had been the best equipped near by force to assist Rog. After
loaning Sheppard a large military force to engage the pro-FAQ forces, the
Boyd had become occupied with other matters and as such were no fully
briefed on the current situation, however Rog's dire situation had not gone
unnoticed and the the 32nd fleet had arrived to provide assistance.
Equipped with an Omega Strike Force of 10 Purification dreadnoughts, it
was
capable of blasting through even an Asgerd's shielding and had done so the
instant the fleet had reverted to normal space. As the dreadnoughts wheeled
away to recharge their superlasers, the Drako and Kraken class battleships
of the fleet had closed and opened a huge gash in the planetoid's hull with
railgun and missile fire. Destroying the massive ship had certainly been
a
possibility, however such ships had interfered with Boyd plans once too
often and the Boyd wanted their technology. Rather than close for the kill,
BFA-32 had ordered the marines to seize the ship.
With the interdiction systems of the capital ships preventing the use of
hyperweapons, the fleet had been able to survive the initial flurry of
retaliatory bombardment by the Asgerd and dispatched dropships to land
marines in the gash. The first 2 regiments of the multi-corps assault force
was now securing the perimeter of the LZ and setting up interdimensional
transporters. Within seconds, thousand more troops would be joining them.
Even as the ground assault continued, the Asgerd fought back with its
weaponry and fighter complement, but the Boyd fleet was throwing thousands
of fighters, interceptors and bombers into the sky. Out of the nearly
600,000 fighters attached to the fleet, over 50,000 were already spaceborne
and engaging targets. Soon, half of the 295,000 Snipe interceptors, 96,000
Viper fighters, 5000 Griffin attack fighters, 96,000 Barracuda bombers and
65,000 Starweasel electronic warfare fighters, guided by a not
inconsiderable portion of the 33,000 Cyclops A/SWACS command and control
craft would be sweeping the skies clean of Imperium fighters.
[Okay, I'm a wee bit late, but I want a piece of the action! How many troops
you got on an Asgerd? My fleet is as big as a standard one from

A cheer went through the brigde of the "Keeper of
Secrets" as the 32nd Fleet
of the Boyd Collective exited hyperspace. Pounding on the shields
of the
Asgerd with concentrated superlaser fire and assaulting it's unprotected
hull with some of the most powerful warheads they possessed they caused
heavy damage, the Asgerd it's systems already strained after dealing with
the Imperial threat was caught off guard and oriented itself to deal with
the new threat shuting power from the tractor beams to other systems,
assuming that Rog's ships were dead in space. This turned out to be
a big
mistake, one of the big advantages of the prototype Slaanesh and Tzeentch
classes was that they heavily used hypergate tech this allowed many of the
ships important systems to be embeded inside the ship so when the exterior
weapons emplacements and engines were destroyed this didn't leave the ship
helpless. It still retained it's entire complement of warhead launchers
and
the Aing Tii stardrive was still working off the back up reactor admittedly
at reduced greatly reduced efficiency and operational lifespan.
The Imperial fleet found itself able to communicate again thanks to the
Boyd
doing something to counter the jamming. Rog used this chance to regain
something from the battle. Every remaining vessel (other than his
flagship)
fired their warhead launchers at the Asgerd before activating their
stardrives to flee the field, they would not get far but reserve forces
could deal with recovery and repair once they were safe. The missiles
raked
the hemisphere facing them with high explosive detonations knocking out
weapons emplacements and sensors on the unshielded hull, the point defense
batteries on the battlestation reponded but they couldn't manage to shoot
down thousands of warheads before they were silenced.
At this point the Asgerd was still mostly operational and a deadly threat,
if it had the chance to restore shields it could quite easily wipe out the
Boyd fleet but Rog hoped that the clones would not give the Star Marshall
a
chance to do so. Surely the Boyd marines that were fighting their
way
through the Asgerd's coridors must be taking up a significant proportion
of
his attention. Rog decided to use this to his advantage and ordered
his
ship to engage it's stardrive, appearing less than a second later directly
in front of the Asgerd's hangar bay it's quantum crystalline armour was
not
even scratched as it smashed through powered only by momentum. Activating
it's hypergate generator a crack force of Darktroopers were sent inside
the
6th Imperium ship to capture a computer terminal, the massive commandship
provided a distarction for this as it . Doing so they beamed back
to the
"Keepr of Secrets" which then used it's Aing Tii stardrive to escape as
Lord
Rog used his personal hypergate generator to appear on a ship at the edge
of
the system - the "ISS Tzeentch" commanding a squadron of enhanced Tzeentch
class battleships. The imperial reserves had arrived and although
they were
few in number they may be enough to complete this mission...

It was sooner, the boarder had now advanced

Every single group was hit isntantly and simultanoelsy, Energy beams
capable of turning Heavy Tanks into ribbons lanced out, a wave of super
dense hyper velocity projectiles shredded through them like a giant
shotgun blast at close range, and hyper beams fired slintly and sent
chunks of people and armor on one wayt rips out of out dimension and
into hypersapce. It could only be decribed as a massacre.
BFA-32 watched as everyone of his millions of
boarders were masscred,
then the feed stopped. Not a single boarder survived, the defense were
too powerful. But he know had a new problem, the Star Marhsall had
adjusted his tactics.
If the range was to short for Anti-Ship missiles,
well then he'd use
Point Defense missiles. Hundreds of Five Gigaton explosive warheads
began to materialize through out the ships of the Boyd and Imperial
Fleet. In less then a microsend the missiles would jump through
hyperspace from deep isnde the ship to a spot isnide the target vessel.
Five Gigatons would have done little to there shields, but from inside
they were guarenteed death.
Also he fired continuos waves of heavy hyper
missiles in to a sphere
surrounding the battle field. The massive gravity distortions made all
travel through that area impossible. no reinforcements were possible,
and neither was escape...
BFA-32 watched one of his Purifaction dreadnaoughts
expand outwatds as
hundred of warhead exploded with in it. huge boils of light lit the
stars as teh warehads contiuned tod estroy ships and fighters. Then an
energy beam mad e it throught eh weakening Boyd defense, thena nother
and then more and more. The carnage increased tenfold. HE watched his
sdisplay as lights blinked out a stedaily increasing rate, now there
were duting by the Dozens, not counting the scors of fighters that
continued to die like moths.
The Star Marshall now gave a new command seeing
how well the attack
using PD missiles was going. "Cancel main battery fire, channel all
availabel erngy tot the repair systems. Titanic amounts of raw energy
began to channel into small microscopic energy matter converters that
coverd the ship ahd literally rebuilt damaged parts, while cheaper and
more numrous annits just removed and repaired damged materials, the Borg
had nothing on the Imperium.
Boyd and imperial ships continued to fire, but
they also continued to
die. Soon enough generator had been repaired to raise hte inner shield,
then the energy once sent to the weapons and energy amtter converters
now funneled into the shield.
"Continue PD fire but concentrate ont eh Imperial
ships." He didn't
know what ROg was up to witht eh Computer terminal but it woul be
useless, the terminal was completely dead. The Belisarius itself was
completely sentient and had enacted speacial safety measure to prevent
him from gainin any knowledge, the circutry had been rebuilt by nanits
into a low level proocesser with less ability then a 486, it also had
only a single ROM chip as memeory, that chip would jsut repat, "NICE
TRY" over and over again. But he still wanted ROg dead for his
presumption, first he destroyed any ramining Slaanesh class ship, then
the Tzentechs died as huge warhead exploded deep within them. He moved
down till only some small corvettes and fighters remained.
Boyd and Rog had continued the assault but with
all energy weapon power
redirected into the shield it was almost futile, they could barely read
the hull but they could see that all damage would soon be repaired.
Their chances were looking smaller and smaller. Even know they could see
the outer shield beginning to reform while they continued to die like
cattle in a slaughter house. They;d tried every shield trick they could
think of, tehy'd palyed with the interdicotr generator, they'd messed
with all possible jamming settings. They'd sued all possible
combinations, nothing worked, then BFA-32 looked to his left... A small
cylinder appeared next to him, then all he saw was a brilliant glow. He
died instantly as the massive explosion vaporized him and has falgship
expanded outward from thousands of such explosions throughout the ship.
Rog was floating through space inside a small
escape pod. No one had
noticed him but he watched as the Boyd fleet fell apart and his last
remaining ship bulged outwards in a brilliant glow.
They were defeated, he couldn't deny it. Even
as he watched the demon
ship that had anhiliated his massive fleet, and was massacring that of
Boyd, fired it's energy batteries again. This time there would be no
prisnoenrs the huge enrgy beams swept space clean and left nothing
larger then an escape pod. nothing had survived not even a single pohase
cloaked ship, all ahd been destroyed by the ravening energy weapons and
terrifying missiles.

Didn't I reply to that?
If not I meant to, I said that it can't work
because my ships use gravity based engines, and so do there foes. It'd
be stupid if missiles suddenly stopped working when you maneuvered or
even turned on the engines. Plus these ships fire black holes, so if
gravity stopped hyper then only the person who fired first in a missile
duel would be able to fire at all, since your missiles warheads would
block the other sides missiles from firing. You see the problem?
I just decided to gloss over that part and pretend
you snuck in
somehow. If I didn't send that post sorry, I also explained my
hyperdrive a little better. It's much faster then even the fastest SW
hyperdrive, but it's also very different. You are completely cut off
from Real Space, you can't detect real space, but you can be seen with
the proper sensors, you also can't enter or leave hyper till a pre set
point, if you try to change course or leave early then the stresses can
tear even an Asgerd apart. But luckily you also can't be yanked out of
hyperspace by anyone else, in hyper you can't see or effect anyone,
those outside can see you but can't effect you. Real space has no effect
at all on hyper, you can pass straight through stars or even black holes
and never know it.

The scene in front of BFA-32 was nothing short of
spectacular. An aurora
borealis on an epic scale. millions of guns were firing frantically, as
the
2 combatants faced off. The battlefield had been swept clean of Imperium
fighters by the Boyd interceptors, too few of them having been launched
originally to deal with Rog's ships. The fire from both forces was now to
intense for any fighter to survive and a several thousand Boyd craft had
been destroyed as they fled back to the comparative safety of their hangers.
Replaced by the fighters were an even greater number of missiles,
projectiles and energy bolts, forming what appeared to be a solid wall of
energy. As Boyd Marines established a beach head inside the Asgerd and the
176 million marines (and their millions of support personnel and command
officers) carried by the fleet began transporting over, the fleet was
content to launch interceptor volleys against Kyle's shots. With their high
rates of fire, the CIWS, interceptor missiles and even the main batteries
of
the ships were being employed to shoot down the weapons of destruction
launched by the Belasarius. Even energy bolts were successfully intercepted,
expending their energy fruitlessly on their opposite numbers from the Boyd
ships or on the interceptors thrown against them. So far every shot had
been
blocked successfully, but there was no telling how long that wouldf last
and
BFA-32 was anxious to get his troops transported over. At least it wasn't
necessary to drop shields to beam them aboard.
