Where am I? Who am I?What the hell happened!?!?! I struggled to come out of the black depths within my mind at the overtowering dizziness i still felt. I thought for a second that i was a goner when my ship was hit out of the blue by some guild i had never heard of before as i arrived at Central. It took some moments before I came aware of my surroundings,and i realized that where i was at, looked familiar...I was in a bar. Not just any bar...but the Pink Flomingo! Here you could get anything if the price was right. In a flash I remembered why the smells of perfume mixed with hempweed and jackleaf smoke seemed so familiar,along with the raucous laughter and dazzling pyrotechnic displays, this was my favorite trading post.…

All this waiting around was getting on his nerves. And he was bored. He wondered how alert the enemy was and decided to test them a bit...with a Levi!! He knew the enemy was not paying as much attention to their blob fleets at this time of day. His buddy had snuck a Levi in under their noses into the same region as their blob and he had managed to hit a fleet of 850 FCs and one of 11k FT's, 76 Recs and 28 FCs.

The Prelude to Empires: A Brief History of Mankind's Venture to the StarsThough the universe is now filled with unending turmoil and factionalism on a cosmic scale, things were not always as they are today. The rise of the United Colonies came during a period of rapid expansion many thousands of years ago, during the great exodus of mankind which spanned nearly millennia. During this time, the control between the so called governing body of the colonies inevitably loosened as humanity expanded further and further from their home systems, away from the center of civilization and the shackles emplaced by the U.C. government. Before long hundreds upon thousands of colonies were founded by groups who sought to carve out a section of space for themselves, a place they could establish a home freprisalar from the prying gaze of the distant U.C. bureaucracy.…

The Chronicles of Ahab - The Eyes of a Child

I was five years old when the occupations began, the outer colonies fell first. Being newly colonised their planetary defences were still under construction and not yet fully operational. It took 24 hours from the first attack, our Imperial fleets outeched and out numbered, were easily overrun.Our brave pilots fell with little chance of survival, I remember the dark sky was peppered with the flashes of their broken ships burning up as they fell through the atmosphere. My uncle was a fleet commander, he died in the first attacks on the outer worlds commanding the defensive fleet which had fought valiantly to save our people.…
