Kallen Corvis stood upon the proud bridge of her ship, the Banshee's Howl. Its blackened hull shone in the starlight as it manuevered through the asteroid field to the headquarters of the UPA.
"How far out are we, Master Jibes?" She asked briskly walking up behind him.
"Only a few moments, Ma'am." The elderly man replied, turning the wheel to avoid an asteroid. He was unphased.
"Good." She walked over to the captain's chair and keyed in the comms. "This is the Raven's Wing vessel Banshee's Howl and Lady Corvis speaking. We are incoming UPA base, over."
"You be clear for landin, over." The base replied.
"Bring her in Master Jibes." Kallen ordered, striding over to the exit port as they docked and landed. She had a meeting to attend to. "Jarrek? I'm here for the meeting? Where are you?" She said, walking through the gates.

"I am at the council room, at the tower." Jarrek replied, then saying, though not unkindly,"You're late, Milady Corvis. Then again, Im the only person actually on time anyways, so i suppose it all balances out."

A rather large pirate fleet came into view from the base. There were over a dozen ships with a big "Z" with gold cross swords behind t painted on them. Rychart looks out from the flag ship at the base... meetings. How, civilized. How annoying.

He picks up his comm. "Station, this is the Clubbed to death and respective fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Rychart. Permission to land?" He waits for a response.

The dock doors open as an answer comes through. "Cleared to land Zealot. Beds made, doors open. Welcome home." The controller answers him. It was good to be back at base. The fleet landed and Rychart stepped out of his ship and looks around.

"Home sweet home." He mutters as he walks into the main area.

"I was coming back from a raid, what do you expect?" Kallen joked as she teleported there. "We cant all be as timely as you."

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #4 on:** July 01, 2011, 02:50:17 AM »

"Promptness is just as important a quality as efficiency or military knowledge for a leader to possess, you know. If we keep being late to these meetings, we wont have time to actually plan anything, after all." Jarrek said, doing a bit of maintenance on his mechanized arm.

Rychart was passed by a Wolf Pack Pirate, who said, somewhat scaredly,"Ah, Lord Rychart. Lord Fenris and Lordess Corvis're waitin' for ya in the council room, top've the main spire."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #5 on:** July 01, 2011, 02:55:44 AM »

"Thank you." He says to him. He rushes towards the spire.

Kallen shrugged, sitting down in her traditional chair accross the tac board in the middle of the room. "And yet we are still the best pirate league in the universe. I think a few late comers to these meetings are hardly that much of a detriment. So long as we plan well when they are actually here." She said, relaxing and leaning back.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #7 on:** July 01, 2011, 03:38:13 AM »

"To be quite fair, I believe we're the only league of Pirates. Sure, there yet are other Pirate groups out there, but no league to the best of my knowledge." He said, apparently having finished the maintenance on his arm, as he flexed it and activated the plasma claw function it test it out. "Still works just fine..."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #8 on:** July 01, 2011, 04:03:53 AM »

Lucien bursts through the door. "Sorry.. we had an engagement with a DAIS patrol." he explains before anyone can speak up. He fixes his jacket and leans in the doorway.

Zero · « **Reply #9 on:** July 01, 2011, 05:38:17 PM »

A tired out Will Atlas walked in, sweat dripping from his face. He had bandages over his arms and legs which were healing.

"Sorry I am late...."

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #10 on:** July 01, 2011, 09:57:09 PM »

Kallen shrugged and turned her attention to the new comers. "Atlas, Lucien. We're here today to schedule a raid. There are several promising targets availible." She started, pacing up to the tactical computer and logged in the coordinates. "Lorei and Nairyo, both owned by the Loreians." She said, typing them in. "Sovereign, a ship graveyard. Possible looting spot." She said, adding its image to the computers projection. "And some lush forrest world somewhere in the Tri-Aid galaxy which has a suspicious amount of incoming traffic from the Narrikian Empire.... ." She told them, adding both their images to the computer. "Now, let it be known that before we attack any of these places we should scout them further and assess their strengths and weakness as well as loot."

It was by pure chance that as this meeting was called within the field, the magiship which had been attacking City of the Suvian lightyears away appeared. The Anrufe noticed the nearby ships and decided to take control of the situation. A transmission was sent to all nearby devices as the titan's shields came online. It had came very close to exploding just now, and was cooling down.

"All vessels, lower your shields and prepare to be boarded."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #12 on:** July 02, 2011, 04:13:49 PM »

Lucien immediately drew his weapon. "What the fuck is going on. Boarded?" The Zealot ships, being one of the largest pirate fleets, prepared for combat.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #13 on:** July 02, 2011, 04:24:10 PM »

OOC:. . .ALSJDAKHAKSDHA *still needs to finish my pirate ships in the tech thing Fffffffffff- but oh well i think I might have a way of explaining their absence for a bit of a while*

As soon as they got the 'message', Jarrek took a transmitter, saying one simple message through it to the newcomer-
"No."
He then turned to his comrades, before sighing and saying,"Alright, then...Looks like someone's found us. Pretty big ship they got. We've all taken down bigger. Im not yet sure what the status of my Cutthroat ships is, I think they're being repaired, and it'll take a while for them to be put back together and ready for deployment...Think you all can turn it to slag while my Pack gets everything up and ready?"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #14 on:** July 02, 2011, 04:55:12 PM »

Kallen's faced hardened in concentration. Then she nodded. "If you lot can distract them on the outside my lot can make some hard hits on vital spots." She sent the message to her fleet which appeared, fully cloaked with life sign, magical signature and heat dampeners around the sixty ships, fifty five frigates and five capitols. They appeared on the edge of the asteroid field.

K2 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 02, 2011, 07:42:45 PM »

Fields appeared around the Magiship which would prevent any enemy from boarding without getting past the massive shields which guarded the titan. It did not aim for the ships first, but instead began firing a few rail guns at the base itself, its ballistics easily piercing into the building. Raven fighters were deployed which began to dig into nearby asteroids.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #16 on:** July 02, 2011, 08:47:19 PM »

"Fuck, the DAIS must've reported it to the Anrufe." Rychart says.

"All Zealot vessels prepare for combat. " the PA system in the hangar goes off. Rychart looks over to Kallen and Jarrek. "Well?" He asks them.

"All Zealot vessels are cleared for engagement. Clubbed to Death, hold in hangar for Lord.Rychart."

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #17 on:** July 04, 2011, 11:13:54 PM »

Jarrek raised an eyebrow at Rychart, simply calmly asking,"And how, per say, would this 'DAIS' know of our location, and further, how would you know of their knowledge of our base, Mr. Rychart?" He turned to Kallen, as well saying, in the strangely calm voice for the situation,"Your kind are mages, are they not? I would suggest that a shield be formed to protect this installation before those projectiles hit us. While I believe our location to be a strong enough fortification, I would rather not be forced to test the theory."
"Lord Fenris! Repairs on the main Wolf Pack ships are complete! However, the Alphas are still out of commission."
"Its about damn time...You are all prepared for battle?"
"At your command, Lord Fenris."

And then, streaks of metal flashed from the hanger bay, if one could see them, it would look like a long ship, with four others attached to it, with several others in a formation. At their extreme speed they gang rushed the enemy Titan, intent on ramming straight into it...Which the main ships did. Once they were at maximum velocity, the four other ships detached, flying in several other direction while firing their four laser flak cannons at the titan's shields, intent on disrupting them. Sure, if it were only one, it wouldn't do much...But there were a lot of them, four for each of the Battering-Class frigates headed right for the enemy Titan at ramjet speed, and still capable of dodging enemy bursts. Those Cannonades which accelerated the Batterings themselves were moving at extremely high speeds for their ship class...And their gunners firing accurately despite it.
After the initial wave of Batterings came the other Cutthroat forces, swarms of Rabid-Class corvettes, ships that moved even faster than the Cannonades, which fired off plasma bursts at the enemy shields, while the much slower, but still largely threatening Wolf-Class Frigates moved out of the base, before making for a formation just outside it, aiming their long-range canons, and firing upon the Titan from afar. The Packs weren't let out of the base just yet, they'd be more valuable after the battle was over, after all.

"Now, now lads." Kallen taunted, now talking in her pirate voice. "Now be not the time for accusations." She sent a message to her crew, to iniate the attack.

She nodded at the idea of a shield as she had just the right one in mind. She made a portal appear in front of the building on the asteroid. The asteroid that was her current home. The portal was made so as that whatever entered it, exited out of it at the same surface of the portal. The portal was aimed at the titan. She then enchanted it as to track the titan if it moved and move along with it.

The Raven ships turned their cloaking devices on, hiding heat signatures and magical signatures. They were virtually undetectable. They moved towards the titan, surounding it. They had their shields up and ready.

Zero · « **Reply #19 on:** July 05, 2011, 11:58:27 AM »

Will Atlas surveyed the situation and pulled out his galaxy phone and typed a long text into it and pushed send and in that instant 50 frigates, and 20 corvettes arrived and began to bombard the enemy ship with muramasa beams, rail guns, solar lasers and all sorts of other firepower. Fighters were deployed that began to hammer the enemy, all of these being piloted by drones. The defenses he had added to the base also went online, firing muramasa beams and using gravity to repulse the raven fighters from the base. Now would not be the time to hold anything back at all.

"Jarrek, do you mind if I unleash my super weapon?"

K2 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 06, 2011, 03:25:40 PM »

The fighters and Magiship all entered a JD window. They were not ready to engage so many ships at once.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #21 on:** July 09, 2011, 03:20:18 AM »

The comm rang on Kallen's ear. "Lady Corvis," Master Jibes' voice said. "The attack is appearin to be over. Should we persue?"
Kallen looked at the other pirates. "Lords? Do you wish to persue this insolent dog or should we go on with our other plans?" She queired, shifting her weight to another foot. She closed the portal and looked to Jerruk in particular, raising her eyebrow.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #22 on:** July 09, 2011, 03:24:40 AM »

Jarrek thought for a moment, before saying,"Not yet. Try to trace them, see where they are headed, and then we'll know where they are when we're ready to strike."

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #23 on:** July 09, 2011, 03:41:57 AM »

She nodded. "Can you track it?" She asked into the comm.
"We can try." Came the reply. The Corvis ships sent a probe transmitting its position back to the pirate ship. It jetted into the ID gate.
"We can't track its trajectory, Lady Corvis but we sent a probe through."

"A probe transmitting its co-ordinates followed the ships. We will see if it can pinpoint the location of the attackers." Kallen said, going over and putting a new map up on the tactical display.

Zero · « **Reply #24 on:** July 09, 2011, 01:54:08 PM »

"Not there...." said Will as he saw the display. The place the probe tracked the attack to was the base of the Anrufe, a known terrorist group. They did not as of yet have the strength of numbers to fight the Anrufe. "Uh....we would be wise not to attack them yet."
