It is the year 2280, earth made contact with many different alien species making the desolate space of past into a habitat crawling with different species. But all is not well, many different wars were caused by the xenophobia of the humans, but one of the largest, was started by a small mishap. The Midors, a race of tall, slender, reddish skinned aliens tried to start trade relations with earth, having already sent out a small fleet of trade ships to the various colonies on Mars, The Moon, and of course, Earth, they tried to get trading rights with the Humans, but they vehemently refused every time, so the Midorian hierarchy sent word for all the ships to return to the home world, although a small group of three cargo ships didn't get the message, passing through thick cloud of gasses making their communications arrays unable to send or receive messages.

The ships neared the Mars colony, and attempted to radio in, only receiving silence from the humans. Then their orbital defensive guns opened up, ripping the near defenseless cargo ships to pieces, within the month, the Midorian hierarchy got word of the slaughter and quickly mobilized it's armies, and sending word to their cousin race, the Labha, a human sized race of brutish, grey skinned, fiends, comparable to the Human demons, with small set of horns, usually hidden by their hair, and lizard like eyes, broad shoulders and aggressive demeanor. Vassals to the Midors they fight as heavy infantry and shock troops, though can only use the simpler vehicles of the Midorian armored corps, they are still a force to be reckoned with.

After a decade of war, the humans, so desperate for new troopers, have opened up recruitment for the Qul, a slave race to the humans, slightly shorter than humans, they have pale white skin, and have to wear gasmasks to filter out certain gasses found in earth air, as even the small amounts in the air, can be very toxic to them. By now the humans have gone on the offensive, and taken two large colonies of the Midors, and are preparing to go on the defensive, building large defensive structures, and sending a constant stream troops.

Races:
Fandor-Midor Unified Nation
---------------------------
Midor: Their space tech is by far the best in terms of weapons, all their ships are bristling with guns, and their ship armor isn't bad either. But boarding is almost nonexistent, But htey have good radar on the ships, but the amount of weapons don't allow much speed and agility, though it is fair. Live to 250

Labha:
Barely have any armor on the ships, like they were held together by super glue and duct tape and the weapons are fair, but almost undefeated in boarding with their awe inspiring melee weapons their "radar" consists of multiple view ports but the ships are very agile, though not quick. Live to 150.

Human Faction
-------------
Human: Great ships, with strong armor and fair weapons and below average at boarding Good radar, but lacking in both speed and agility.

Qul: Super advanced armor on the ships building off of human tech with fair weapons and no boarders Similar to Humans, but have the same "radar" as the Labha and moderately speedy ships, almost no agility.
Live to 40.

Mercenaries
-----------
Malkien: Mercenaries, fight for any side that pays, they are foot taller than the average human, pale purple-blue complexion, with long prehensile tails with cat-like eyes. All around average. Live to 120.

you climb up the ladder on the side, and get into the small cockpit, with enough room for you to sleep and eat it really is rather cramped, nothing like a fighter though.



Anywho, you take off into the atmosphere, you get into a sort of low orbit, you hear over a small pad, a rather tall Midorian AI, dressed in a simple set of robes, a First Empire (Early Midorian, like Rome to us) he says "Well I read the Malkiens are a million Km away. I suggest you ready your torpedoes." he says in an aristocratic accent. The commander replaces him, another Midor in 20-01 "Get into a Delta"(Psst. that's arrowhead)"Formation, when we make contact we will maneuver to try and surround them."

I prepare my ship and head the arrow's tip. I scan over the area and my weapons systems to make sure everything works. I notice an odd grouping of objects that appear moving but it is very difficult to tell.. I make this known to the rest of my formation

You get a reply from your AI

"Well, it seems to be a small group of natural Satellites, they can afford some protection possibly."


you look over the weapons, the cannons are charged and the tubes loaded. You read over your radar, 5 individuals, in white, about half a million km. away

my natural skepticism leads me to be extremely cautious. I turn my shields to full power and continue with the mission as planned.

you continue the approach, by 100k kilometers the formation around you loosens up, and you hear "Engage at will." one of hte Malkiens, a Centari class patrol craft, you hear the blare of the warning alert, as the Malkien attempts a lock on, a risky maneuver because, while it makes aiming torpedoes much easier, it also tells the enemy that you are

I turn to engage my enemy, fire a plasma cannon at the one locked to me, forcing him to take evasive action. I perform a series of quick maneuvers to get him in my sights and fire a torpedo, blasting the Malkien straight to the after life. I skilfully engage the other members of the deceased's formation.

mkay. I set my sights on the strongest target or the one(s) tailing my allies and engage them until destroyed.

they are all equally the same, so you engage the one attacking you, what is your first move, seeing as he is moving towards at full speed

I flank his ship giving him no room to get a lock. I inch closer and set him right in my sights. I fire a Plasma Cannon in the direction he's going.

You attempt to maneuver around, and being the faster of the two, you do and fire a plasma cannon, The cannon...the slow ball of plasma smashes into the side with a purple flash, you see liquid metal drip from the hole in the side of the ship, it seems you've damaged his maneuvering thruster's electronics on the right side as the small jet is firing, and cutting out intermittently, leaving him crippled

I pull behind him and Lock on with a torpedo. I fire. He is destroyed. Not even ash remains in the nothingness of space. I scan for the next targets and see that my fellow me are doing well also.

Whoa Whoa Whoa now, you can't narrate your own story and say the outcomes, that's not how these works, you can mention small things you may notice, but you can't say things are there if they directly benefit you, that's like a mix of metagaming and powergaming

Ja, at least you're learning...some players don't *shiver*


anywho, you scan, and see the battle is raging, but with the Malkiens outnumbered 2:1, it is going well for your side, though you see 20:03 floating dead in space, it's right wing missing and half the cockpit
