"The end of the Beginning"

Priest Duke's Log;
Holy Stardate: 752 4th orbit of the Holy Star
ITC "Sanctum Of Heretics"
____

I Drifted in the void for what seemed to be a millenia, the Kha'ak pressed the attack and my Escape pod was immobilised after the 'Epitaph' Emploded. a Damaged Hyperion drifted towards me my fleet crumbling around me and the unrelenting Kha'ak surrounded us.

The hyperion Drew-closer a visual feed opened On the small moniter on the pod. I saw the injured Captain of the Hyperion.

"Priest Duke?, this is the Hyperion 'Litany Of Fury' we have opened an air lock on deck 5, make haste the Kha'ak enccroach! Said the captain almost overwhelmed with fear.

I Attached my respirator helmet to my suit and left the safety of the escape pod and threw myself into the Void that torments my thoughts, the Hyperion seemed to drift further and further away the lure of the void was engulfing me. I began to fall into the void i was too far into the planets gravity well i was being pulled into oblivion.

"Priest Duke!, You activate the transporter! he roared with desperation.

A holy light surrounded me i thought i was leaving this world and entering the Angels Realm, however my fantasy was cut short as i fell into the cargo bay of the Hyperion.

"Ugh where am I?" I questioned
"Sir you are aboard the 'Litany Of Fury'" Stated the Captain rushing into the cargo bay.
"Get me to the bridge"I stated on my knees

He glanced over to the two Paladin soldiers accompanying him they raised me to my feet and helped me down to the elavator the elavator took me upwards to the bridge, the doors slid open to reveal a panicked scene the navigators were scrambling desperatley trying to keep the ship in orbit.

"Get me a comm feed to the rest of the fleet" I murmered my voice fading
"You're connected"Replyed the communication officer
"Attention this is Priest Duke Elmangochlakht Activate Jumpdrives we must Fall Back"
"What!? we cannot Retreat!, too many Souls have been claimed!" Screamed a young priest cclencching a desmembered corpse.
"And you intend to avenge them by what? Dying in a Spectacular explosion!? Question me again and you will find yourself with the argon in the Silion mines! I Boomed at the peak of my voice

The subtle hum of the jumpdrive was erratic it roared like the Drell of Paranid Prime, we catapulted into an unstable wormhole the ship tore itself apart, cracks appeared in the bridge window and the intense turbulence shortedmost of the systems. we dropped out into Avarice through the east gate the ship drifted lifeless the sounds of panic died, just knowing we were in our own territory reassured us.

"By the Light we made it" Sighed the ccaptain under his breath.
"Someone get me a sta.."

I was interrupted by a perculier sight, a goner ranger passed the bow of the shipthe ship was in no better state than ours a vessel of innoense andpurity had been fired upon.The sight disgusted me i flailed my arms and roared a scream of vengance and fell to the floor thoughts passed through my head faster than i could count my eyes cloosed and i drifted into a dreamworld.

Holy stardate 748

The Xaar had just joined me to the ranks of His Honour Guard, my coorperation was producing moree ships than any single race and we were forcing the Argon back across their own territory the fedaration called upon the boron to defend it against us.
Immediatley acccepting the fedaration made itself known at the battle for Argon Prime 5 Boron Rays Joined the fray, nothing changed however and on the 20th Orbit of the Holy Star the Argon Homeworld was bathed in a sea of Consecrated Fire. Julian Bren...

I was awoken to an inccreasingly familiar sight, The same apothaccary loomed over me with Captain Yugrolahhn looking unimpressed next to him.

"Priest Duke? Are you with us" Questioned the apothacary
"What Happened?" I Questioned them both.
"Errr.."

As the Captain tried to think of somethingg that would not have him sent to the silicon mines, i saw a Medical transport on the flight deck.
http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/4492 ... n00017.png
All those souls lost to the enemy, and for what..

"Bah!.."I exclaimed
"What sir?"
"Nothing.. How many souls were lost to the void?
"We are still counting sir but we lost 20 capital ships, and we are still accounting for the Fighters and Deserters.

I let a sigh of sorrow and layed back into my bed.

"We must prepare for the next Battle"

@Lordmuck

The main fleet is down to about 80% Of its pre war strength and the several supporting fleets have also taken losses,the HQ is producing as many ships as it can and i have plenty of supplys surplus but i can't build them fast enough to adequatley replenish losses.

i dont think i will add a part today the action is dry just been maintaining the empire and replenishing losses no real action that and i cant think of many more cryptic phrases for the paranid :P

@All

also If you wish to join in feel free to post a character bio for your character . or if you dont want to post a bio just PM me a message of a character and i will fit him into the plot :)

Well there is this mod that might help ware blue print manager Here I would advise you unDock everything before hand "just in case" I use the 10% speed increase, and ability to build boarding pods by purchasing the blueprints. I do not see this as a cheat script as only the times are decreased in one large some of money.

EDIT: spelling

IMO for the price you must pay to "upgrade" it is not, and also paying for wears to build there which I refrain from building weps and so on that can be made in a complex unlike the boarding pods. 10% decrease time I think is quite nice to have not to over powering and not boring as hell vanilla ! lol,

My universe is quite upside down war is everywhere, and just install improved races thus sectors are being taken by khaak/xenon which adds some spice (and more load screens)

Hey there,

just stopping by, so I'd no time to really read into your Game, but what I did read looked quite nice. Looks like coloring direct speech broke through.

Keep up the good work.

Hull breach on our port side! said the navigator

We shall hold !, we were assigned to this sector by his holyness the duke himself and we shall accomplish his will! rebuked captain Olmanteh
as the the "Nightbringer"came about for another run, it was hit by a full missile barrage wiping off its shields, making the emergency jump sequence kick in.

three years earlier
name? indifferent voice
Olmanteh
Social rank?
friend
78, that was the number of times i had been asked the exact same questions.. and 78 times i was rejected at this point in the same small yet perfectly clean and tidied chambers for my oh so low social rank so dear to high piranid society..
Have you ever flown any type of ship before?
Now that was new...Yes, I passed qualifications at the Holy Piranidia Academy of flight for m4+ and m3 flight, as enscibed into my ID card
Where was this going... you are assigned to the Light of redemption squadron to verify your qualifications, i bid you good day, recrute, may the priest duke smile apon your destiny, your assigned quarters are down the chamber on your left, an apothacary shall test your bodyquarters? light of redemption? apothacary ? a job?! finally?! may the xaar be blessed...

"Nightbringer"

Priest Duke's Log;
Holy Stardate: 752 73rd Orbit Of the Patriarch, 4th Orbit of the Holy Star
ITC "Sanctum Of Heretics"
____

I paced the command deck of the Headquaters, i was beside-myself with worry, my empire is tearing itself apart. Every Orbitof the Patriarch we loose a sectoor to the Kha'ak or Xenon. Stations vanish, souls are claimed and ships sink into the dark abyss.

A Figure approached me, he looked enlightened.

"Priest Duke, i have good news"
"Yes?, What is it?" i said curious and almost excited.
"The Nightbringer still sails tthe realm of the living"

No sooner than i could respond, a glorious light split the void in twaine and out emerged the 'Nightbringer' hull pierced and the crew weathered in the horrors of war. it is was the first Agammemnon put in service and it was the ship that first engaged the Kha'ak horde in the skies above 'Kingdoms End' and was thought lost before the main fleet could arrive.
http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/6572 ... n00019.png

"Get it on the monitor!" i shouted in a strange tone of joy.
"On Screen" said the Head Comms Officer


"By the Light they survived"

The comms console lit up they were hailing us.

"Get them on the moniter!"
"Priest Duke their image and audio transmitter appears to be destroyed and their engines were rendered inoperable after the jump"
"Then get the Hercules to them and tow them in!"

After the ship was towed in it doocked at the Headquaters next to the 'Sanctum Of Heretics' witch was still undergoing repairs. as it latched to the station medical crews scrambled to the Airlock.

The airlock opened and out spewed a foul gas in similar colour to that of the purple on Kha'ak ships, the Apothacarys reported that it was non toxicbut it carried the twisted taint of the Kha'ak. through the thick clouds of gas stumbled out Captain Olmanteh. The apothacarys charged towards him with a anti grav stretcher but he insisted that they leave him and fous on his wound crew he continued met me half way down the coridoor.

"Hah! The light is on your side Olmanteh
"Heh If it were I would not get into theese situations!"

We bashed the plates on our 2nd arm joints together. The typical greeting of Paranid captains.

We proceeded up to the command deck of the Headquaters.

"So, how exactly did you survive the Kha'ak?
"We were ambushed by multiple Destroyers, the ship could not match the firepower so we flew into the low orbit of the planet and hid in the ruins of a Boron City."
"And theKha'ak did not find you with sensors?" i questiond him suspicious
"Irrellevent i am still allive and my ship is safe that is allmatters."He swiftly Rebuked

I Allways liked his backbone and his ability to advoid questions so i left the subject alone.

And of course right on schedule thee Earlly Warning alarm sounded leaving the command deck silent. The xenon had attacked the sector of interworlds.

"Distress call from interworlds Priest duke, Xenon have overwhelmed the forces stationed"
"Patch it through"
"Holy Priest Duke! the Xenon are Upon us! *static* We count 4 K's and 2 J's we cant count the Q's! and more approach we request Swift retribution!"
"Recieved may the Light guide you until we arrive"

I Raised from my chair and glanced over to Olmanteh he gave me a swift nod as i tured to leave the command deck.

I marched down to the Headquaters docking ring and approached the dock of the 'Sanctum Of Heretics' an engineer threw himsellf between me and the rest of the platform.


"What Do you think you are doing!" i boomed at the engineer
"The ship is not finished and the Engines are still damaged Priest Duke the shipis not fit to fly"
"Do you honesty expect to tell me what i can and cannot do with MY ship ?!"
"Bu..But." he stuttyered fearfull
"Now get out of my way or you will be in the Silicon mines before the end of the next orbit!"

I smashed him aside and entered the bridge to see Captain Yugrolahhn overseeing the repairs.

"Priest Duke what are you..?"
"Interworlds is under Xenon attack ready the ship and prepare for electronic warfare!"
"At Once Priest Duke"

The ship released from the doccking clamps and the engine groaned an ackward metallic sound.

We took the Sanctum about 40 KM from the HQ and fired the jumpdrive the destenation was Legends Home to group with the main battlefleet.

To Be Continued

"The Silent Enemy"

Priest Duke's Log;
Holy Stardate: 752 73rd Orbit Of the Patriarch, 4th Orbit of the Holy Star
ITC "Sanctum Of Heretics"
____

The wormhole Ruptured and the 'Sanctum Of Heretics' fell into Legends Home.

The remains of the OTAS HQ drifted lifeless in the empty void, a warning to those who would oppose us and a memorial to a worthy enemy.

"We are Hailed Priest Duke" Stated the Head comms officer
"Patch it through" I ordered
"Priest Duke Elmangochlakht this is Lower Duke Alkshollkt aboard the 'Mercy Of Fury' we are assembled and are awaiting instructions to proceed to the Besieged sector."
Confirmed Loower Duke Prepare for a gateless jump into Interworlds."
"Understood Priest Duke I am dispatching 2 Deimos frigates to escort your vessel throughout the battle."

The ship closed closer to the battlegroup and fit snugly into its position at the head of the fleet. I gave a swift nod to my communications officer and he patched me through to all ships in the formation, he swiftly turned to face me and gave me a nod back.

"All Ships this is your Priesst Duke, We have launched a jump beacon when i command we will launch a gateless jump" I ordered down the main comms channel
"Jump Device charged at 100%" Stated the ship computer.
"Engage Jump Drive"

Again the subtle vertigo ensumed us and we were drageged into a the wormhole, the ship gliding through slipspace like a bird through the air it swiftly exited the wormhole.

Drifting into the once proud colony sector of interworlds we saw the battered remains of the argon stations and the shells of warships long forgotten yet to be Claimed by the void, amongst thhe Rubble and Asteroids wasd the Xenon fleet, almost all of the defensive platforms had been destroyed and the Xenon were in numbers like i had never seen.
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/8190/x3screen00021.png

"Targets Sighted"Exclaimed the gunnery Chief
"Weapons armed" shouted the fire controll
"Xenon Confirmed estimating exact amount" Said the tacticalk officer
"And now we have our Retribution!"I roared down the Comms for all to hear.

Within a mizura the vanguard of the Xenon fleet were upon us, the P's were no match for our Hyperion class Corvettes. they circled the battle group like spaceflies in an elegant Dance Of Death.

The first Q's came into the range of the main guns of the 'Sanctum' which still bore the scars of the Kha'ak.

"Fire, Unleash Our Fury upon our foes!"

The gun decks were ablase and our Zeal was at its peak. we swiftly passed a Q bearing battllescars from a hyperion, a Barage sent the ship into a burning fireball.
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/7596 ... n00025.png

"That is for the skies of Paranid Prime! Boomed a young Deckhand looming over the tactical map.

I looked over at the deckhand and bashed my arm plates together. this is the sign a paranid would give a commander as a sign of respect.

The ship was shook by a Violent explosion the tactical diisplay errupted into a blue flamme and the Deckhand was killed instantly. His limbs scattered and body charred i lowered my head in respect.

"Status Report!"
"Our Ship has sustained little dfamage, but our escort Ship has been destroyed. 450 souls claimed by the void.He said with a tone of respect.
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/272/ ... n00026.png

"K approaching!" Exclaimed a Deckhand pointiing out of the viewscreen.
"Head us towards it, Prepare for elektronic warefare and begin Jamming!" I commanded.

We approached the K jamming its main signals its AI was cut from the network dullinng its inteligence, it fired what it had at us diverting power from its sheilds. An easy target.

"Launch Firestorm Torpedos!"

A Salvo of mighty Torpedos ruptured the ship in Twaine the explosion shook ships across the sector and left the battlle in a deafening silence.

"The foe withdraw!" Cried the Lower duke down the Comms
"Pursue and engage, I demand Retribution!"

we hounded the Xenon until the very last Fighter Retreated and Jumped back into the dark plains of the void.
"They will be back.
They allways watch.
They always Listen.
"The Silent Enemy"
said the cryptic Lower Duke

To Be Continued
