(Fith Post, Capi range. Also, I am sorry about the kamikazi thing, but can't I say to you 'go away or we nuke us all?' even though I'm not allowed? or what if I'm about to die?)

The Azguardians were in firing range, and the great turbolasers fired towards the Hand of Fate. A terrible barrage smaked it, and any ship in its' path. The guns of a dozen ships fired repeatedly at their enemy.

Ourvix launched with his fighters, as per the commanders' code of honour. His fighters held close to their protecting ships, and waited to close in for a target lock. The Guns would not be silenced.

OOC:Alright by definition of the Ghosts, their abolisher fields only last for a few minutes and can only be fired once an hour so...

IC:

"Sir the Abolisher Fields are down."

"Jump in and attack. Form up with the other ships attacking the enemy. Tell Winger Mining Corporation forces that we are incoming. They have to get their fighters to jump out to us."

Jesmin jumped into the battlefield.

"All shields are up. Fire on the reserve fleet closest. Power up the interdictor once the Winger fighters come. All ship form up and fire on the Imperial Sar Destroyers and Nemisis Star Destroyer."

The fleet moved forward and started firing madly.

"New fleet helping Winger Mining Corporation, we are friendlies. Move out and attack the enemies smaller ships. We will try to delay for other allies to come."

Jesmin waited for a response.

(OOC: Sure you can say that, but i'm pretty sure the ruling implicitly states that suicide type things of this nature are illegal.

Hell, how would you feel if TNO just suicided one or two of their crappier ships so that they could @#%$ you over. Hell, whats to stop them doing it to everyone, completely destroying every fleet in the galaxy. Bear also in mind that it could be done, and they would be the only ones to have the capability to do so and be able to rapidly rebuild. Naturally if your ships die at close range they will cause damage to the ships around them, thats what i did to allow me to finish off their last AEGIS Cruiser.)

As the enemy ships charged on, the Ghost Cruisers approached the WMC shipyards. Completely invisiable to the defencless shipyard, the crew of the ships locked on the full brunt of their cannons, their targets, the ISDIIIs being constructed. The lasers and NBCs ripped the nearly constructed ships to shreds, their distinct lack of sheilds and an already compromised hull meaning the destruction was without honour. Still, it mattered not. The smaller weaponary on the Ghosts lanced out, destroying the pitance of smaller fighters and mining craft that were under construction. Also, on the instruction of the Hapan Sith, small scale mines stolen from Hapes were launched out of the airlocks towards the yards. The damage they would do was not irrepairable, but merely annoying and time consuming. Construction would not be commencing at the Garos IV shipyards for a while. The Ghosts heading lead them back towards the main 'battle'.

As the capital ships on both sides rose to meet each other, Lupercus' had his star fighters pull back to maintain the protection of their fleet carriers guns. They ducked and weaved amongst the larger starships, the pirates capital ships parting a safe collision distance as the enemy attempted to pass through, perhaps to reach the planet. Still not firing their weapons, torrents of laserfire streamed onto them from first the reserve ships, and then from the pirates battleline as they approached. Rapidly, the shields on the floatillas ships were stripped away.

(OOC: Damage is mostly your doodies losing shields. You really should begin fighting!)

OOC:Once TIE Phantoms are cloaked, they can't get targeting locks. One of the bad things about cloaking shields, unless they are specially R&Ded. And plus if I say I am within range of you, I am. Especially if you are assaulting me. And since you didn't raise your ray shields untill after I posted, the Nemisis Star Destroyers are still dead. And you can't fully destroy two shipyards in one post, so your Ghosts at least have to take even longer to meet up with my fleet, which is solely battling the reserves, along with Jesmin. Further more the interdictors are powered up.

IC:

It was time.

"How long untill we get to Garos IV?"

"Five seconds."

"Excellent. Power up shields, weapons and launch all fighters. Make another jump close to Jesmin Ragabag's fleet."


The backup fleet had arrived. Garos IV would be defended. The fighters, receiving the message from Jesmin, had jumped to join her fleet, but had first unleashed a volley of missiles at the Aegis Star Cruisers, knocking the particle shields out. Now the interdictors powered up. Myn smiled.

"Let Jesmin's interdictors pull us out."

"Yes sir."

The fleet moved forward and joined up with that fleet.

"All ships form up. We know have a fighting force. What has happened to the enemy fleet?"

"They lost three Nemisis Star Destroyers because they hadn't powered up their ray shields. Their Aegis Star Cruisers have no shields remaining. Their reserve fleet is close to us now."

"Allegiance Star Destroyers, attack the Imperial Star Destroyer Jesmin could not get, and the Victory star Destroyers. Imperial MK.III Star Destroyers. One of you help with the Nemisis, the other get the Imperial Star Destroyer that is beign attacked by an MC-200. Aegis Star Cruisers, split into five groups of two, one group for each other capital ship. Freedom Cruisers, split into groups of two and help them. Missile Cruisers, you split itno groups of 1 and two. Get the enemy Hapan Nova Cruisers. The group of 1 is helped by the modified corellian corvettes. The Lightnings rush around hittign whoever. All fighters destroy enemy fighters. Their other fleet can not come here for at lest ten minutes, lets try and destroy some of these ships first. Then we can destroy the others ones. And try to figure out who sent these mercenaries, we need to find that out."

The fleet began the assualt...

OOC:
Damages over all my posts:
Lots of shield damage for reserve fleet
3 Nemisis Star Destroyers, particle shields ont eh Aegis Star Cruisers.

<font color=purple>...checkmate...

"I grow tired of this game. Commander, alert the Reserve Fleet. Jump into the incoming enemy fleet component. Anihilate them... all of them."

The Lord of the Shadow Guard smiled as the orders were relayed and the reserve force, twenty-two warships strong, made the jump to hyperspace...

They emerged moments later on the edge of Jesmin Ragabag's interdictor shadow and began to fire. Laser blasts lit the space between those two battelines as the Shadow vessels delivered their massive blows to the enemy fleet, and that fleet attempted to come about to engage this new enemy.

And, in the midst of it all, the Neutralizer cruisers shot their deadly beams into space all about. Travel, all but one route, into the Garos IV system was now nearly impossible.

And that one route was that which led directly into the Shadow Guard's main battleline.

"Reserve Fleet, Interdictors active." Ominii's last words cut the chilled silence, and he watched as Jesmin Ragabag's fleet died.

(OOC: WTF???!?!?!?! I thought you were heading towards the Planet Garos four. I have edited my fith post to show this new knowledge. Thats' O.K. because Lup hasn't done much else yet)

The guns on the Capital ships roared loudly as they tore at the Hand of Fates' shields. The guns pounded inexhausabily. The fighters though remainedin cover behind the Capital protection and Attaining missle locks on their target.

As they approached, Ourvix broke off from the fleet towards the enemy, The locks transmitting to the whole fleet.

"Fire on my command...... fire!"

Missles streamed forwards in a terrible swath. The explosions rippled across the Enemy's shield, then hull. The gloduals of fire cascaded around the ship and the vessle was battered.

Shields low, integritty weakened at where they had given out. Another such bout would surely kill it.

(OOC: Two rounds of shooting and over two hundred missles (all the fighters fired twin linked and many capis have missle launchers, so your ship is busted up pretty bad. Good luck with the rest of the fight, you definetly have guns and tactics AND numbers on your side. Honour is just alittle bonus I guess. Also if you doubt anything, like authentisity of my faction, here is a link to itpub55.ezboard.com/bazgard...millitary)

Nothing. Mistake.

<font color=green>Endgame

War has a way of affecting everyone, no matter who they are, or where they happen to be. Such was the case with this mysteroius Shadow Guard/Winger/Dolash battle, which raged now over the world of Garos IV.

The Corporation, who had in fact secretly funded Ominii and Lupercus Darksword's assault, was now to end it. At what cost, only time would tell...

"Admiral on deck!" The standard call lifted the spirits of the bridge crew of the Super Star Destroyer Destiny as Lord Protector Hiram Drayson, Commander at Arms for the LFX Industrial Home Defence Corps., stepped onto the bridge.

It was not his first time in command of the vessel, but it would be the first time he led LFX forces into combat. Assuming that combat was still applicable on their arrival at the Winger homeworld.

Seated now in the high-back Admiral's seat, he looked to the Captain of his flagship and asked, "Captain, is my flagship ready?"

The reply was swift and proper, "The Destiny is fully at your command, Lord Protector." He nodded.

"Excellent. All ships, prepare to enter hyperspace. Coordinates are set in the navacomputer.

They jumped.

"Continue bombardment."

"Shields down on the enemy ships."

"Excellent. Move the Missile Cruisers out of there and get Lightning Cruisers in. We can't afford to waste proton torpedoes and shieldless craft."

The ships continued their bombardment of the enemy reserve fleet. The fighters were tearing appart the enemy ones. Since combined with Jesmin's fighters they outnumbered them by more then three hundred the fight was goign good.

"Ask Jesmin to kindly disable the enemy Nemisis Star Destroyer, we need to find out who sent them."

"Yes sir."

"Then kindly tell the Shadow Guard that they will survive if they surrender, but if they continue, they will be stopped with all force."

<font color=green>Garos IV System

The steady hum of the Destiny's hyperdrives dropped out suddenly as the ship, and the fleet around it, came out of hyperspace.

The scene laid out before them was that of a slaughter. Shadow Guard, Azguardian, Winger, and Mercenary ships were everywhere, flinging themselves upon one another in a deadly weave of destruction.

The Lord Protector sighed as he watched the unfolding battle, but went about his duties none-the-less.
"All craft, shields to full. Gunnery stations armed and ready, ready starfighters for launch. Prepare to enter a hot combat zone!"

The fleet responded, coming alive with hanger doors opening and deflector shields becoming active. Fifty-six warships formed into their respective armadas and came forward, wary of any danger to themselves.

Drayson, looking out over the carnage about him from the bridge of the Destiny, shook his head.
"Com, give me an open channel. All ships."
"Done, Lord Protector, sir." He nodded.
"All ships, this is Lord Protector Hiram Drayson of the LFX Industrial Home Defence Corps. We request an immediate hault of all hostilities in this system until an agreement can be arranged to benefit all parties."

He paused, then cut the transmission.
"Tactical, arm the superlaser. This may not be over."
