The first raiding group made the jump to hyperspace before the Krytosians arrived. Fleet Captain Duramente leaned back in his command chair on the cruiser Churchill and awaited arrival at his target, alternately looking at the purplish blue swirl of hyperspace and at the tactical display, which showed the most current intel on his target's defenses and position.

Any Covenant star systems that you can succesfully take and hold from the Covenant would be yours to keep just as any star systems taken by the other allies will be theirs to keep, and systems taken through allied efforts will be negotiated. If you are unable to capture three systems, we will be willing to cede one or two to you, would that be acceptable

"Acceptable indeed.

The matter will be turned over to the masters of the Third War Cluster. We will furnish you with their communications codes and Freecaster bands. I should warn you, few of our vessels have conventional hypercomms, and I doubt the Coalition vessels have any Freecasters. We'll send a half dozen back with your vessel, on the grounds that you allow us to also send one observer/liasion officer with each one, and return them when the action is over.

We shall communicate the orders to the Third War Cluster immediatly, and they will contact the Coalition leaders for target information."

"Agreed. As of this moment, the coalition consists of the Arcane Empire, The Republic Of Nashtar, and the Krytos Star Empire. KSN ships are equipped with relativly outdated freecaster technology, but they should be able to relay your messages to the other nation's fleets."

High Priest Jenurax read his spy reports with a smile. He had succesfully stirred up a hornet's nest. When his acolytes asked why he was provoking other nations, Jenurax had simply smiled and said "Why attack them on their ground? Let the heathens come to us. As we slaughter them, their citizens will turn to support, and there shall be...us, acting as missionary's, to soothe their pain."

The freighters move as ordered.
"Can you direct me to the nearest raiding force then?"

(((Dude, Im knew this station wasn't fighting, but who else am I going to call, seems rather impolite to talk to someone far away when a representative is right there, and won't the stations be a bit more then 25 freighters can handle? I figured you would provide for their movement to Psilon space. )))))

The KSN third fleet emerged from hyperspace

"This Is admiral Connor of the KSN third fleet, whose in charge around here?"

(OOC: Tycho, ARE YOU NUTS? You have the fleets of four different nations coming to rip you to shreds. Were you planning on lasting long in this game?)

Nashtar System, Outer Reaches

The vessel killed it's Kincaid drives, decellerating instantly to .4 c as the Kincaid effect ceased manipulating local spacetime. The nimble little craft had threaded it's way to the home system, accomplishing what large fleets or ungainly dreadnoughts could not.

It was a frigate, a mere couple of hundred meters long. It was coloured an oily black, and studded with jagged weapons emplacements. A message reverberated through the system on conventional radio bands.

<< Warship Successful Hunter of the Third War Cluster of the Hajr calling Nashtar Republic. We bring tidings of Hajr support to your war against the Covenant, as well as equipment for communicating with the Hajr and a liasion officer. We request permission to dock, and information of where and when the Coaltion will require Hajr forces to strike. >>

"If you really insist you could go to Joyous Gard and join the raiders assembling there, but your freighters might need the security getting back, and given the nature of some of this cargo, you might need it should you come to war."

(I was, but then I found out my planned 2 week vacation was canceled, so Im hardly gonna have any time for the STGOD anyways. Going out in glory is much more yummy than just saying 'Bye'. )

"If you really insist you could go to Joyous Gard and join the raiders assembling there, but your freighters might need the security getting back, and given the nature of some of this cargo, you might need it should you come to war."

'Thank you, and good luck"

The flight (3 cruisers and 10 destroyers just to remind y'all) interphased and made for the system.

((((again, realistically I don't think those 25 freighters could bring back those stations, though if you really want to have me cart them back I will edit and send them home with my warships, besides, I trying to establish a character in the good commodore.)))

"Admiral Connor, we've been told to expect your arrival. Another raid is gearing up for the Covenant colony at Corridan IV, you may join that force if you wish. They will be ready to leave in half an hour."

"Yes emperor, we told the mages at the embassy that you wish to speak with Astinius. Hopefully he'll get the message soon"

"What's the status of the war effort?"

"Arcane, Nashtar and the third fleet are conducting raids on the outskirts of the Covenant's territory"

An illusory image of Astinius appeared right next to the Emperor

"yes?"

[Not all the stations, and not all in one piece. Modular parts, some of what the factories have ready. I can spare some destroyers to take them home; the admiral of the Sixth (whose name I think I've established but forget, I'll have to go back and look) understands that your people were attacked and want to lash out at something, even if the Covenant didn't do it. Go ahead and join the raids.]

The Emperor Jumped

"GAH, do you have to appear behind me? I just wanted to inform you that the Ousters have agreed to join the Coalition in return for three Covenant controlled star systems. Do you think we can arrange that?"

"My fleet isn't exactly geared twards fast raids, but we can provide heavy fire support, and our patrol destroyers could assist with precision strikes. I'll have the fleet gear up and prepare to jump in sync with your forces."

"I believe we can. By the way, we can recieve transmissions, we simply cant send them in the usual fashion""

Alyrium Denryle wrote:"I believe we can."

"Good, Has the fourth fleet arrived and joined your forces yet? They were under orders to maintain comms silence"

"That they have. Once the Republic hits their destination, we can begin transit"

Alyrium Denryle wrote:"That they have. Once the Republic hits their destination, we can begin transit"

"Excellent, shall we begin drawing up maps of who gets what territory now, or wait a few days?"

Six frigates, three light carriers, and two destroyers with what look like minelaying devices on their sterns form up at the edge of the planetary gravity well. "Hailing Admiral Connor, this is Captain Horton of the NRS Swiftsure. We're heading out now, decided to take a smaller force since you're accompanying us. Here are the exact coordinates." The coordinates for the exact point of entry for the attack were transmitted to all Krytosian ships. "Ready to head out when you are."

"Rodger that NRS Swiftsure. Care to make a wager as to who nails the most bad guys?"

The KSN third fleet formed up with the Nashtar ships and prepared to jump.

"Lets wait a few days"

One Merovingian carrier, two Sun Striker carriers, and ten Dawn Raider frigates emerged from hyperspace over the small colony of Tenloss III. The carriers wasted no time, issuing fighters forth as the frigates surged ahead towards their targer; the ships in orbit. They launched torpedoes as they came at anything not friendly in their path as the fighters and attack craft came up and around their formation, missiles and rockets leaping off the hardpoints at any military ships in sight.

[If for some reason there are no military ships here, then they'll just be very confused and jump to the next target.]

Captain Horton laughed. "Not with you packing all the heavy hitters, sir. We jump in ten seconds." Ten seconds later, the Republic ships surged forward and winked into hyperspace.

the sixth Arcanian Fleet Jumped into the astral plane upon reciedving word of the the Nashtarian Attack.

They would stand by until the proper time.. then strike

The Third fleet lept into hyperspace with the Nashtar ships, ready to engage the enemy.
