TO: All channels.

MESSAGE:

"This is Fleet Commander Thomas 'Tigerclaw' Johnson of the Galaxy Command Fleet Authority to all vessels. Under section 34 article 12 of the Galactic Naval Code, you are all in violation of interstellar communication law. I don't know what that the heck Admiral N.FitzJohn had in his coffee this morning, but all of you are transmitting on Emergency Naval Distress channels, reserved for emergency communications from rescue ships, and distress beacon signals.

You are instructed to switch to civilian or local military channels immediately if you wish to continue with this conversation. Continued flooding of the Emergency action channels will be dealt with as required by Galactic Naval Code.

Failure to comply as per the Code requires no less than immediate siezure of offenders, and no further than capture/destruction of offending assets.

Thank you for your time.

FROM: Fleet Admiral Marshall A. Gerrard, USS Coyote, in orbit around Argon Prime

TO: Admiral TigerClaw, Galaxy Command Fleet Authority

Message: Admiral, though I have the utmost respect to any established military organization, I regret to inform you the Epsilon (Eridani?) system is a registered system of the Federation. We will take your advice to withdraw from all Naval Distress channels (our Communications officer was discovered to be intoxicated; his service in STARFLEET will be suspended indefinitely, as he is currently being court marshalled), but the fact that you possess a Federation system will be seen as a hostile takeover, courtesy of Galaxy Command Fleet Authority.

The Milky Way Galaxy is extremely large, my friend. I am afraid I must order your surrender, or immediate withdrawal to an unoccupied sector, or STARFLEET will be forced to take action against your people.

Cheers,
Marshall A. Gerrard, Fleet Admiral, STARFLEET Command, Captain of the USS Coyote

Mental note: Must have Hyperdrive serviced more regularly. This latest mis-jump has landed me on the edge of a shittly little system, with ****** little ships on the brink of self annhilation.

Oh well, no sign of the Thargon, however the design of those gates look familiar... I wonder who services them?

MESSAGE::

"I'm afraid you do not understand the situation you have dropped yourself into Admiral Gerrard. If you would take a moment to check out your navigation and timekeeping equipment, you'll find a lack of standardized Federation beacons in this entire galaxy. We've known about dimensional slipgates for some at the GCFA... occassionally what appears to be another wormhole is actually a natural version of these slipgates. You are NOT in Federation space.

Now, while I don't want to bore anyone on this channel with details, you should withdraw from the special protection area immediately. Your influence is dangerous to the developement and stability of that star-culture. Also, while your weapons are advanced compared to Photon Pulse cannons and nuclear tipped missiles, it is UNWISE to threaten anyone in a GCFA ship when it contains weapons far advanced to your own. Phased energy weapons are like water-guns compared to Wave Field Weapons.

Now, if you wish to discuss the situation in person, you can warp to these coordinets... or if you would prefer not to take the three weeks to get here... We could hyperjump to your position and be there in about five minutes. I could even give a shout to lady Seto Kamiki if you want someone with a reputation to come help out... not to mention nobody is dumb enough to Challenge her and Mikagami...

Not even GCFA personelle... "

Okay, you win, Tigerclaw. I'm kinda tired to think up a post now, but I guess the huge selection of photon torpedoes and phasers is no match for X3's arsenal.

DO NOT DO THIS!!! our ships have been given a shoot-on-sight order for your ships. do not enter Holmberg Republic space or risk being destroyed.
HAMMERHEADS ARE ILLEGAL IN OUR SPACE!!!

[Kurt Shur'Tugal]

To: Holmberg Republic

From: Star Kingdom of Manticore

your shoot on sight order and ban on hammerhead missles is very disturbing, to think that a puny and pathetic nation like you would even think to challenge us is beyond our comprehension, to punish you for your arrogance a massive fleet of the most advanced ships ever seen is heading to your pathetic sectors, to claim them as are own and teach you what real power is

[Colonelnj10]

TO: Star Kingdom of Manticore

FROM: Holmberg Republic

Lets see, we have lifted the hammerhead ban but have accepted your decloration of war, a fleet of Terran Tyrs and Odins with support craft have begun an expedition to find your home planet. Admiral FitzJohn has been notified.

Prepare to die!!!

"This senseless act of aggression is frowned upon by the Terracom Alliance and the Unified fleet forces of the Galaxy Command Fleet Authority. While we are not permitted to interfere without Terracom consent in this matter, your actions will be followed and monitored. While your actions are being relayed to Terracom for a political review... any hostile acts to non-protection zone spacecrafts, or any acts of aggression towards the patroling GCFA intelligence craft is gives us instantanious free clearance to return fire. If it is at all possible, we wish to avoid coming to confrontation, and I'm sure you wish to avoid being on the recieving end of a Cruise Torpedo(*1). Curbing galactic aggression in an age where Piracy is at an all time high has been a problem even for the best fleets... Space is just too vast."





*1: Cruise Torpedo: The SCM-T195 S.L.A.M.D.N.C. or rather... the Strategic Combat Munitions Type 195 Super Luminal Anti-Matter Directional Nuclear Charge Torpedo is a two stage inter-system strategic anti-starship and anti-station weapon. Often called simply a "SLAMDUNK" torpedo... it's effective range is roughtly Sixty Astronomical Units. It's launched from firing tubes of starships or stations, or external hardpoints on strike craft, and engages a built in hyperdrive system to propel itself across system to progrogrammed coordinets.

Upon reaching these coordinets, it locates the target programmed into the combat computer and separates from the jump booster. It will then close the distance at high speed and utilize ECM devices and forward delfecting armor to prevent premature shoot-downs.

Upon impact with a target, or at a moment from impact set range, the targets detonation nuclear charge fires a depleted uranium coated casing directly into the hull of the target. The casing houses an anti-matter charge which detonates upon penetration... almost always obliterating that entire side of the target vessel.

your puny fleets are no match for my massive empire, as a taste of my power i am sending in the weakest of my fleets at you, it includes 30 Terran M2 Tyr's 10 terran M1 Odins, 50 M7 Aegirs with supporting fleet compliments, if you surrender now i may be merciful to you

INCOMING MESSAGE...

FROM: GCFA Reparations and Damages Division. Lt. Cmdr Baker


"We regret to inform you that two hours ago, a combined fleet of yours containing 30 Terran M2 Tyr's 10 terran M1 Odins, 50 M7 Aegirs with supporting compliments attempted to engage the GCFA capital Starship in charge of the First Fleet.
The U.S.S. GALAXIUS engaged the assaulting force in a battle that lasted thirty-six seconds. The capital starships were obliterated almost immediately after jump by a shot from the subspace shockwave cannons in the first ten seconds, and the subsiquent twenty-six seconds was all it took for the targeting systems to isolate and knock out the remaining support craft as they entered the system.

While the monetary value of your fleet can easily be replaced, it is unfortunate that the destruction of those forces met with a loss of life that large. The Reparation Division of the GCFA's civil support service will be contacting the families of the forces you sent.

Have a nice day."

"Your attempt to use force to get your way in this situation has met with destruction. You are warned to cease your actions immediately. As per the Galactic Naval Code, the hostile force that engaged my ship has hereby authorized the GCFA to engage and destroy your forces at our discretion. Not only is your technology insufficient to wage combat against the GCFA, your resources are inept in bringing the fight to us. The entire reason the Codename X Universe is identified as a Special Protection Zone is that it's spacefaring races are not technologically up to par with the rest of the galaxy.

Further hostilities will be dealt with as required.

I regret to inform you that you will soon cease to be a problem in about 10 seconds a super antimatter missle will wipe out all ships and gates in your space and then a anti jumprive/hyperdrive missle will detonate cutting your section of space off from the rest of the X-Universe. Goodbye

3...2...1...0 *EXTREMELY large explosion is seen many many MANY light years away*

*the tactical officer turns to Kurt* the missles were a complete success sir, they are now cut off from the rest of the universe and most of their ships are undoubtably destroyed or severely damaged

TO: Star Kingdom of Manticore

FROM: Fleet Commander Tigerclaw, Galaxy Command Fleet Authority.

SUBJECT HEADER: "You missed."



"I must inform you, that your total lack of understanding of the laws of physics shows in the choice of weapons. An Antimatter weapon, no matter how industrial you make it, is ineffective beyond the immidate area of vaporazation of a target. And as such, shows poor conduction of strategic operations. Engaging a target who's position you cannot even identify because of transmission relays is another major mistake.

So far you've shown you lack of skills in-
- Weapon characteristics understanding
- Strategic planning.
- Intelligence gathering.
- Operational excecution. (You actually tell me what you're doing before hand? You are foolish, or overconfident... but I think foolish fits.)

Not only do we not require a jumpgate to use hyperdrive, but our 'space' does not exist inside the 'network' of jumpgates that makes up the Special Protection Zone, otherwise known as the X Universe.

If you have yet to understand your folly and realize you are committing an act of aggession against a stellar culture far more technologically advanced to yourself... Perhaps the next move on my part will make you understand the full extent of your mistakes...

Tigerclaw out."
