the prob is they have the fleets, the experience, the technology, and the ingenuity.....

read some of the posts....... its good stuff.....

you should have tried to come in on one side or the other.... then traitorously backstab the group you had allied with.

and the AMG? they are just a lose collection of corps.....

they dont piss the pirates off unless they come asking for it.....

The Allah rode into system.

"Mikhayl, Elle here" Elle's face flashed on the comm. "We've got a lock on the enemy fleet that actually thought to attack us." Mikhayl smirked. "No damage done. Just one unmanned TS. What's the readings on the enemy?"

Elle patched the info through. "Your Oddy shows six unregistered Dolphins and two Barracudas." Mikhayl didn't trust his scanners after the battle at Emperor Mines. "I want a proper read-out from the station." Elle didn't flinch for a second. "Aye... and done." That was bloody fast. "The Dolphins are arranged in a pattern, they are up to something. The two Barracudas seem to be seperate, but one is with the Dolphins." Elle paused. "...and two G0s moving in." Mikhayl looked at his gravidar "I see them and a police Nova. Suppose now wouldn't be the time to go capping." Elle chuckled. "I wouldn't think so. You'd rip the poor ship apart." True. Very true. The Dolphins began to move. "Moving to..." a Xenon K moved in system and oblierated the Nova with all the swiftness Mikhayl expected. Mikhayl blinked and punched the Nova's thrusters. "...engage" He finished. Elle shouted into the comm. "Go for it guys. Jump on top of that Xenon K."

The No-Dachi and Metallic (Titans) jumped ontop of the Xenon K and the Destrega (Ray) jumped beside Mikhayl's Oddy. The Titans fired a barrage of Hornets into the Xenon K, causing it significant damage, before pulling back to the other two destroyers unscathed. The four destroyers lined up.

"This is Mikhayl Ruzhyo of the Argon Trade Alliance registered company the Interstellar Power Commission. We hope this will be enough of a hint." Mikhayl nodded and the ships deployed their ACDs. "Cease your hostile activities on our ships or we will destroy your fleet. If your superior is not present, relay him this message." Mikhayl sat back. Your move pirate.

(and no I haven't forgotten your 'cloaking device' but there's a rule between every guild/clan/roleplaying group that you can't use them, so I'm going to be gracious and just simply ignore them.)

Aboard the DSS Red Duke (Dragon):
'San, we've got something happening. Someone's brought in a Xenon K. There's a couple of Dolphins. Some kind of challenge to the clans,' advised Tac. 'Rushyo's down there with some M2s.' San laughed. Challenging the clans?
'OK, get me some Pegasus scouts down there. Get information from all our pirate contacts and agents about this. Get hold of the registration numbers of the ships involved, run ownership traces etc. Keep me posted.'

Rob thought for a moment, 'Ha, now that's really evened up the odds'. The technology delivered to the Xenon, had been shared with the Khaak and was now widespread. 'Egosoft really know how to make top notch Fighter software'.

Although the Clans still had their precious, "When your ship gets blown to bits, hit the reload button". 'Now that's some technology', he thought, 'If only the Mafia had that'.

Aboard the Twelve Trials (Herc), TIICHQ, Ore Belt.

Captian, we have a problem.

OK, bring us to ready 30 status, i want the whole fleet able to jump out within 30 minutes of the command. cycle watch crews and maintain a high alert.....And keep an ear out for enemy and allied transmissions.

I also want fighter sweeps of the surrounding sectors, flights of 4, tell them to report anything unusual and to jump out at any sign of trouble. Pegasus scouts will deploy NavSats in all sectors within 10 jumps, get them from the Antigone Memorial fabs.

Get SQUASH mines in from our Atreus' Clouds operation, the pirates there can go wthout for a while, seed every sensor obscuring nebula in 10 jumps, just so we have no suprises, use our Caiman TS's with a flight flying cover, make sure to update all ships sensors to log the minfeilds, i dont want to kill any of our own guys.

Oh yeah, and while we are on the subject of our Atreus' Clouds operation, try and get as much info as you can from the pirates visiting some of our other facilities, its a good time to drop the Spacefuel and Spacweed selling prices, you know how those loners talk once they have had a few, and i want ppl to listen.

You know the rest, the basics are obvious, secure our position here and build up suplies, buy TSs for storage if you have to or think up something. Get in touch with our allies and tell them that the TII Corp forces and resources are at their disposal.

All we can do is wait

Soul sat mystified as the small craft fired a something at his brand new (well, aquired) Khaak M3.
'Is that guy insane? He's in a Bayamon... oh well'
He frowned slightly as he powered the weapons systems, it wasn't really worth it, but the idiot had scratched the paint.
Some people just didn't know when to use common sense, he opened the comm..
'To the captain of the projectile flinging craft, you have scratched my paintwork... hand over your ship and i won't kill you... resist and be compressed.'

RE: Pirate Threat

With the increasing risk of pirate attacks due to their new apparant organisation, the construction of the TIS "Legionaire" (see http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewtop ... &start=450) has been speeded up. This M2 hybrid of Boron, Split and Xenon designs has already surpassed all expected from her, and she is still not yet complete.

Our local factories are working overtine to supply the neccecary Quantum Tubes, Crystals, Ore and Silicon, while our MKIII traders scour the universe for the weapon systems. Soon she will be complete and ready to help counter the Pirate threat as the new TII Corp Flagship. Once complete we will transmit her visual and gravidar signatures to all allies to ensure there are not freindly fire incidents.

In recent weeks the pirates have been very quiet. this does not bode well, and all our forces are on high alert.

TIICHQ Out

"commadore! commadore! we have a BIG problem sir!" said the captain of the centaur vessel "enforcer".

"what is it captain?" i said as i was finishing off the last of the argnu beef in the cockpit of my centaur "The Firebolt"

"look at your radar sir."

i couldn't believe my eyes as i stared unblinkingly ad my radar... there was a huge red blip, bigger than any i have ever seen before. a fleet of pirate orinocos lead by one of my own men.

"MOUNT UP!" i screamed into my radio as i readyed my weapons systems, and went into a barrel roll as the traitor fired at me.

"commadore, we can't take on an army this massive, not without the rest of our fleet!"

"i know captain, but i will at least kill the traitor, use your jumpdrive and get out of here!"

"but commadore, i can't leave you here!"

"do it now thats an order!"

as my captain jumped out i readuce my speed and attemped to turn, but my steering just wasn't good enough. so i got to the right angle and let my bottom turrets fire, i hit him and he turned away. so i turned on strafe drive and moved to the left. when i turned it off i hit the juice and turned around flying towards the traitor head on.

"let me remind you traitor, that i am a leader and if you expect me to blink you're making a very deadly mistake!"

then i fire 4 wasp missiles and let the ghepts rip, the enemy did the same. i blew up one of his missiles as it was about to hit me but then the other two got me, and i realized that one of these missles was a hornet! my ship shook madly and the voice came on.

"warning low shields."

and then the traitor came on.

"what you fail to realize is tht with your shields down my ship will rip through yours like tissue paper!"

then i laughed and said.

"and what YOU fail to realize is that MY ship is dragging mines!"

i had droped them just before then and they were dragging on behind my ship. i pulled away quick and the mines hit, and i heard.

"aaaahhhh!"

then i jumped out and contacted captain makavee.

"captain the traitor has been destroyed."

"commadore you made it!"

"yes but barely. get the rest of the fleet together we're going into battle."

RE: FACTS and TII Corp

My actions in this conflict are as the Chairman of TII Corp, and member of AMG, not as 2IC of FACTS, i consider the pirate threat to be a menace to the ecenomic stability of my buisness empire. FACTS will take no sides in this dispute, as it exists purely to help those who are to weak to help themselves. To achive this broad aim, they must maintain a certain impartiality, so an alliance with FACTS is unfortunatly unlikey in this case.

TII Corp however would welcome another ally in the struggle, we are not a massive corporation, but what we lack in size, we make up with ingenuity....... and balls.

You are welcome in Ore Belt any time, our extensive construction/repair facilities are at your disposal.

I look forward to hearing more from you soon.

ok simon thanks for the welcome, i appreciate your hospitality. be warned though, any ally of mine is a target for terrorist attacks and many large battles. TCA could use an ally, since we are fairly new we have none. allow me to tell you a little more about our history...

long ago as i told you we used to be a massive army, almost invincible. we fought in many xenon battles and helped to rid the universe of the pirate threat. but what didn't know was that the pirates had a secret HQ in loomankstrats legasy, where they had built an army of orinocos so big that we were outnumbered at least 50 to 1. we first noticed this when one of my squadrons was flying through loomankstrats legasy, and caught sight of 3 pirate bayamons on his radar. i gave him the order to attack and when he got close he saw it, the pirate HQ heavily guarded by at least 50 lasertowers there was no way they woulb be able to take the station out. then all of a sudden pirate m3's started pouring out of the base and my squad went to fight them, but as they were fighting they noticed that the base was still deploying ship 30 minutes after they had started! they were armed with ion disrupters and ahepts. we had already lost two ships so i got the rest of the fleet and we jumped to the sector. what we saw unreal, the pirates had overrun the sector defence and were takeing out my men 1 by 1. as soon as i saw this i floored it and hit seta. i took a few shots before i even got close to the battle, then i noticed my shields were already at half! we had to do somthing about these ions, but there was nothing to do, so i told each ship in my fleet to target an enemy and fire 4 wasp missiles at them. when we fired the pirates started heading straight for te missiles, this was an odd tactic but then i realized what they were doing. they were trying to hit the missles before the detonaters were activated, when the missiles hit a few exploded but the rest just bounced off. i gave the order to ram the enemy, after all they had weaker shields, so we hit full throttle and started ramming. we destroyed a lot like this but we were still highly outnumbered, so we set our turrets to attack enemys and fought with everything we had but it just wasn't enough, i noticed our ships were being destroyed way to fast and eventually we were outnumbered at least 600 to 1, so i gave the command to jump out. by then there was only 10 or 11 of us left and we were all in very bad shape, so we would be lucky to survive the time it takes for the jumpdrives to countdown. when the countdown started all of our sheilds were critical and all of a sudden the enemy stopped attacking, when the count down reached 2 they fired again only this time it was missiles. all of them hit and my hull was at 12%, and everyone else was destroyed. the count down stopped and i was in argon prime again, where i went to the shipyard for repairs. and thats when i sweared i would kill every last one of the pirates...

thats how i got to where i am now, a leader struggleing to get his corporation back on its feet. i need allies and i need men. thank you for your time simon.

<<Transmission Begins>>

From: Simon Nance, TIICHQ

To: Tasis, TCAHQ

TII Corp is used to conflict, we have a long history with some quite brutal battles, and are combat force, while small, is well trained and led, and we have had numerous conflicts with the pirates in the past.

We are sorry to hear of the loss of your men, we to have lost comrades in the struggle, my flagship itself, the "Twelve Trials" was nearly destroyed in the defence of "Light of Heart", and combat attrition has meant that our fighter wings have also suffered losses, though thankfully we have yet to lose a major combatant (M6+).

Our combat history is stored for posterity in the AMG database for all to see.

We are very much a Fighter/Corvette Fleet, currently opperational is:

6th Corvette Squadron;
Katana(S) (Elite)
Gladius(S) (Experienced)
Pilum(S) (Experienced)
Broadsword(T) (Elite)
Claymore(T) (Green)
Battleaxe(A) (Experienced)
Morningstar(A) (Green)

108th Fighter Group;
Lance(A) (Green)
Rapier(A) (Elite)
Swithcblade(P) (Elite)
Pike(P) (Green)
Trident(B) (Experienced)
Cutlass(B) (Experienced)
Scimtar(S) (Green)
Avenger(K) (Green)
squadrons, each of 6 fighters.

The Elite ships are veterans of many battles, and are masters of their ships and themselves, the Experienced ships have fought a few battles, and are adept at flying and fighting, the Green ships are those that are new to the fleet, or have not yet had battle experience.

Obviously we are adding to this as funds become avaliable for aquisitions, or as "donations" are made from pilots who no longer require their ships. We especialy look to the completion of our first M2, the "Pretorian".

'Enjoy yourself Rob', asked Miss Meeuwissen, smiling in the most annoying mocking manner, 'The old man is waiting for you'

'Quite', 'Indeed', fcuking cow Rob thought, she damn well knows I've been submerged in cigar shaped vessel underneath some long forgotten sea, in some long forgotten system for the past couple of months. Hiding away until our secrets have been revealed.

The conversation was drawing to a close ,'......and thanks to you Rob, the operation has been a success, these twerps at FACTS and all those little puny factions seem to have disappeared without trace, nanotechnology seems to have blunted their enthusiasm for now at least, they seem quite content to leave their ships docked at whatever location have beleive they are safe in.'

Rob laughed, the feeling of elation coursed through him, the ole man was right all along, patience is a virtue and youth is given over to over- zealousness and the need to get things done now, but now usually means getting bored and boredom breeds complacency; and complacency means you die quicker.

Besides there was a new development which seemed interesting, using mining ships as attackers. Rob snorted his pleasure, surely not, even the Feds can't be that stupid, 'Oh, yes they can', Rob recalled the ole man saying. 'Declare yourself as a peaceful mining vessel, and blast em to submission once within firing range. You'll be quite surprised at the punch they pack'.

The Threat for now has been quashed, all these young whippersnappers thinking they can rule the universe.

The Threat wasn't the Khaak, it never was, it was them.
