Age of Chaos III !!!!!!!!

[exatreide]

The battle raged between the shadows and the infected vessels.

The Infected shard raced foward towards the planet. No shadow ships were in pursuit. No one even reamberd it as the feirce battle raged on.

The UWR planet defese fleet was the only thing standing between it and total destruction of Gaia. They huried at full speeds towards the craft. The fighters lunging at the battleship, pepering it with there fire. no visible damage.

The larger craft moved next to the craft and fired there broadside weapons. no visible damage. The ship just kept going. The largest ship a modified destoryer. Moved directly infront of the beast ship. It set itself as a roadblock to stop the beast vessel, or atleast slow it down.

The Beast vessel stoped infront of the UWR ship. A beam of light flickerd from the very tip of the shard. The size of a pin prick, it dotted across the UWR vessel. no damage, just flashing on and off. There was a large power spike from the beast infected shard. A massive Ion cannon beam shot out and vaperized the UWR ship blocking its path.

Ion beams and Laser cannons begain fireing at he nearest UWR ships at massive rates. A entire space outpost could barely keep up with its rate of fire. The UWR ships turned and fleed towards the opisite side of the planet, to lick there wounds and regroup.

The shadows sensed this and relized there error.

"We let it pass through us! we were to involved with handing its escourt fleets! we have doomed Gaia!" One shadow screemed out

"Our arrogence has blinded us I am afraid." another one stated.

The Beast battle ship, the broken peace of mars from the ancients. Armed its main weapon. Its tip pulsed with the the energy of a thousand suns. a paulsing steady beam targeting beam raced out at the planet.

the shadows could only watch in horror.

A jumpoint opened above the Shard.

Three...two.....one...

The Tip rear of the shard melted in a redish ball of fire. The Shard Spun wildly, its weapon fired at full charge.

It impacted the un populated moon. A massive mushroom cloud like explosion rocked the small moon. A wave of fire engulfed it. swallowed it whole. The moon vaperized, not exploding. it simply vanished under the extreem tempature.

The Shard regained control over itself. It turned towards its atacker to strike back.

A massive red beam raced down. The shard meleted as the planet killer sized explioion hit it. Bits of it breaking off as it spun wildly towards the shadow group. Secondary explosions ripping its melting hull apart....

"THE LEXXA! THE LEXXA!" some one screemed

"How did it get here so fast?" another one cautionusly asked

"We left early, we needed repairs anyway, we were alrady headed this way when the messege came." the lexxa replyed.

"We have defeated the main threat, this beast fleet is still enough to wipe out 8 worlds. we must hold them off untill the UWR fleet gets here.

[The_Sadukar]

Sol'Sard was tireid of the constant debates that ever since the battel at the Moon caln had consumed the once powerfull leadership of the Argonian clans.

The high duke rose and slammed his fist into the tabel

"I don't care about how the war with the cheblons will affect the price level, our freinds, the UWR are at war with the Shadow(what the clans call the Beast), and we have sworn the sarced oath of Freindship with the human and to their aid we must come, Or your you all oath breakers with no honour?!!!"

the outburst had sent shockwaves through out the council room.

And soon afterwards the sol clan was ojn the move to Gaia.

[Anathema]

The infected ships continued their attacks against the shadows and the few UWR ships in the system. Minutes passed, and more and more ships were destroyed. There was nothing they could do to stop the Beast advancement to the planet Gaia, they were to small in numbers. Things weres starting to look grim, as there was still a sizable population present on Gaia.

Then, a hyperspace distortion appeared, and a massive host of more then a thousend of UWR ships appeared, of wich half was refit with Ancient technology, and quickly made a fierce assault on the Beast fleet, firing thir improved disruptors and plasma torpedoes. The infected UWR ships were still conventional ships, not refit with Ancient technology, and formed no match for these new weapons. The infected shadow ships were much tougher of course, but the UWR fleet was in larger numbers now. During the battle, a fleet of Sol ships entered the system. The tide had turned, and quickly the Beast attack fleet had been destroyed.

Captain Verbic sighed. That was quite a scrap.

"Damage report."

"Sizable hull fractures at the rear section, port disruptors destroyed...we are going to need extensive repairs."

"Send repair teams and have them do whatever they can. We will return to a shipyard soon. How many ships were lost in this battle?"

"I haven't got precise data yet, but it looks as quite a lot. Almost all of the UWR ships that defended the system before we came have been destroyed, and we have lost roughtly a quarter of our fleet."

"Any sign of Beast ships in any of the neighbouring systems?"

"No sir."

"Very well. I'll prepare a message to the Republic Fleet command. I'll be in my readyroom.

A transport is dispatched to the Sol, Nam and Moon clans carrying documents and blueprints of the Ancients technology, wich is vastly superior to conventional UWR or Argonian technology.

The shadow fleet had been severly damaged only 70% remained intact. They had formed a group of ships near the norther pole of the planet. Healing and regrouping.

"We hear you have ancient tech of your own. and are sharing it with the sol groups. We request that you give us this tecnology as well. as we did save your world." A messege was sent from the lexxa.

[The_Sadukar]

'nuker I think it's time for you to post something

[ordos45]

Not everyone gets on every day

[Anathema]

A small diplomatic vessel appeared from a hyperspace distortion in the Gaia system, a few hours later. It transmitted the following message.

To the shadows,

We are grateful for your assistence in defending our homelands. As a show of gratitude, we hereby present you with the blueprints and schematics of the technology we have recovered so far at our Ancient archeology site. We hope you find them usefull.

Sincerely,

Wesley Tanner, prime minister of the United Worlds Republic

At the Romulus prime shipyards, a joyfull event took place. The first 100 Kestrell class destroyers left the docks. This powerfull new vessel has the strenght of a refitted old battlecruiser, and is quicker and more maneuverable. Several tests have proven the Kestrels vast destruction capabilities. The government has planned to produce hundreds of these to safeguard the territories of the Republic and its allies.
