Empires At War - Military Sci-Fi Role Play - O/A

[Ecks927]

A Sci-fi role-play based off the Terran Federation O/M guild created by Ecks927

About the Role-play:

Empires at war is a role-play about the rise and fall of many empires, republics, and federations within our universe. Role-players will be about to create up to three characters and have them join the fight to save their empire from total destruction. Your character will help change the fate of your chosen empire, will they become a great hero, will they commit a horrible crime, will they lead their empire to victory, or will they bring it to its annihilation. The choices are yours to make.

This role-play is based off a series of guilds/role-plays I started many years ago. I have decided to restart them and reshape the stories, the wars, and the heros.

If you wish to join this roleplay, please visit the Empires at war GGN and submit a join request. One of my crew members will help you along the joining process.

Our Story so far...

Its twenty years after the great colony war that took place in the sol system. Three factions have split away from their homeworld of Earth to claim new worlds and start new empires. The Terran Federation, a strong and proud faction settled on Terra Nova in the Gallonigher System. They have already claimed two star systems under their banner and maintain and well balanced navy/marine force while focusing heavily on aerospace military power. The Vangar Dominion, a prideful faction has founded their new homeworld on Vangar Prime in the Urnoua system. The Vangar has made their ground forces top priority for their military might. The Imperium Alliance, a secretive and power hungry faction has found a new home on Septimus Alpha in the Sextus system. The Imperium has also moved in on another star system and has plans for others. The Imperium currently drives a strong and powerful naval force and has made covert ops a top priority.

For years these three factions have lived out their lives in peace and harmony. Diplomats from each faction gather once a month in a neutral location to maintain the peace. However, dark plans are underway to end the peace and start a whole new war. A war that will forever change the galaxy, this is Empires At War.

PROLOGUE - There is only war!

arrow Imperium Diplomatic Shuttle ACY-2002
On route to Septimus Alpha from Azim Prime

A burst of light and energy was released from the Sextus jumpgate as it activated. A small diplomatic shuttlecraft appeared through the wormhole and continued on passed the gate. Two imperium destroyers and a heavy cruiser were waiting on the other side as the shuttle came through. After clearing the shuttle into the Sextus system, it flew towards a larger government vessel that was waiting for it.

Entering the docking bay on the larger vessel, the shuttle came to a rest on the deck and powered down its systems. A diplomatic guard entered the bay along with two heads of state, they stood by the hatchway to the shuttle. Hearing a hiss and air escaping as the hatch opened, the two officials looked right into the craft. Out stepped an older male along with his personal guard.

"Senator Quinn, welcome back. How was your trip to Azim Prime." One of the officials asked while the other took the senators baggage.

"Fine, fine. Are we still on schedule to meet up with my contact?" Senator Quinn inquired.

He had an important meeting with some high military officers and he didn't want to be late.

"Yes, we should be on our way as we speak." The second official answered.

Senator Quinn nodded and made his way to his quarters to get some rest. The ship made full burn to a remote location in the Sextus system. The vessel came to a large nebula that made sensor readings garbage, the perfect hiding spot. At the edge of the nebula was a large vessel, it was a command ship for the Imperium Intelligence. A covert frigate was following the civilian vessel as it came closer to the command ship. The senators shuttle left the ship and docked with the command ship.

On board, an Imperium marine team in full combat gear escorted the senator to a meeting room not far from the hangar bay. There he waited several minutes for his contact to arrive. The doors to the meeting room opened and in walked an Imperium officer with the rank of Captain.

"Captain Davis." Senator Quinn said puzzled. "I was expecting Admiral Garrett."

Captain Davis moved to one end of the table that sat in the middle of the room and took a seat.

"I'm afraid the Admiral is currently busy. He asked me to meet you in his place." Davis said.

He motioned the senator to a seat.

"So, you have the intel that we requested?" Captain Davis asked.

"Yes, right here." Quinn said as he took out a data disk. "All the files on Magistrate Heller. All medical files, historical, political, everything."

Quinn placed the disk on the table for Captain Davis to take.

"Excellent, our operatives have been waiting for this data." Davis said as he placed the data disk in his left pocket. "Now, you know what your next task is?"

"Yes, I know what I must do next." Senator Quinn answered.

Captain Davis nodded and stood up from his chair.

"Remember, we are doing this for the good of the empire. In the end, you will be remember as a hero of the Imperium Alliance." Davis said.

Senator Quinn slowly nodded. He wasn't one hundred percent happy with this plan. He knew that if the Empress and the rest of the Alliance found out about their plans, he Davis, Garrett and others would be executed for treason.

Captain Davis left the room and the two guards entered, waiting for Quinn to follow them back to his shuttle. The senators vessel began to leave the nebula and head back to Septimus Alpha. On the bridge of the command vessel, Admiral Garrett of the Imperium Intelligence Command watched the senator's vessel leave at full speed. Captain Davis stepped onto the bridge and walked over to where the Admiral was standing. He handed over the data disk.

"Quinn says that everything we need for the operation is on this disk." Davis said.

Garrett took the disk and smiled.

"Good, get the operatives ready for their mission Captain. We have a war to start." Admiral Garrett said.

Captain Davis nodded and saluted the Admiral. He walked off and exited the bridge.

arrow Col. Natasha K. Danko-DeLaCroix
IIC Command Ship
Sextus System Nebula

"Guess there goes the 2nd honeymoon" the woman said, legs crossed sitting on one of the many bench in the command ship, her black uniform revealed to what branch of the Imperium army she belonged to, not that the emblems didn't.

Natasha was slightly frustrated, just slightly, she didn't have a choice anyway, a recall to service didn't leave choices so, her lovely husband would have to wait, still a few curses in russian could be heard every now and then.

She closed her eyes and paid more attention to the sounds around for a bit, the sound of her heels when making contact with the floor was the only thing she could listen for a few moments, the inside of an IIC ships was always like this, silent and full of secrets. Heck, not even her husband knew what she did in the army, few outside IIC did, Natasha was one of the best black ops the Imperium had, her whole history was well concealed, to everyone she was just another Intelligence officer with an attitude problem, like everyon else on the division, her mind slipped to her past, many many years before, on the outside she looked like a woman on her 20s, but in truth, she was way older...

The sound of her PCD (portable comms device) brought her back to reality "о блин времени! (about damn time!)" she said raising and answering the message "Captain Davis, to what do I owe the honor?" she replied, the slight sarcasm probably wasn't missed by Davis, she then muted the comms a moment "И неприятность отмены мой 2-ой медовый месяц (And the nuisance of cancelling my 2nd honeymoon)" she unmutted the comms and waited for the reply

[Capt. Ark Newland]

arrow Captain Ark DeLaCroix Danko
IIC Command Ship, Barracks, Ark's Office
Sextus System Nebula

With his head on his desk, Ark was easily bored and he hated paperwork. He usually had one of the back-office guys do it for him for a bottle of liquor or two. He was stoked about the week off he had for his second honeymoon that was to begin in a few days. Ark wanted to shoot Natasha a call, but he will allow the suspense to fill him up as he began making paper airplanes and tossing them into the trash, luckily for him he had his own office and usually kept the door close as he did what he does best, relax when time permitted.

As time flew by he slowly nodded off on his desk, of course he had his comms on him as well as being near his intercom/phone.

arrow Major Cassandra L. Khan
Vangar Prime, Military Academy installation
Urnuoa System

"And so, when you know where the battle will take place, it will be wise to scout the terrain, remember if you know your enemy and know the terrain, your probabilities to achieve victory increase exponentially, specially if you deny the enemy said information" the brunnette on the stand continued her explanation "But also remember to know yourself, know your forces, know your soldiers so you know what they are capable of, do ask of them what you wouldn't do"

One of the young officers in the class raised his hand "Yes?" she replied to the gesture "Major, would you say then that we officers are equal to the soldiers? I mean the soldiers fight we think, should we then get better odds at survival?" the woman looked at him stranged "Are you not a soldier?" the answer was more than enough to respond, but she elaborated "Remember that we all swore to give our lifes for our people, even the highest ranked General is a soldier and subject to this and if you or any officer declines this duty, he might as well be court martialed and relieved from command on the spot"

"They always make strange questions don't they?" another female asked from the door "Sometimes, is their free right to do so, after all they will be replacing us eventually Johana, there is no harm in asking" Johana looked at her superior officer, slightly disturbed "but Major Khan... that question well, was almost as if saying he wouldn't die for the Dominion... if it were for me I'll discharge that spineless brat"

Cassandra dismissed the acussation with a gesture of her hand "Nonsense Johana" she stopped and looked at her subordinate and trainee in the MAC7 program "Harsh judgement doesn't lead to strenght, leads to fear a frightful trooper is not a loyal soldier, is a person afraid of what might happen if he doesn't fulfill his duty, if you want loyal soldiers, then you build that loyalty, not demand that from them" she picked up her briefcase and straightened her uniform as she spoke, then she headed for the door, Johana simply dropped the subject, it was pointless arguing with Cassandra on military philosophy, after all her fater was one of the greatest masters on the subject.

"Come, its time for your practice, we have been idle for quite some time and if you ever want to reach the MAC6 level, you need to remain on edge"

arrow Cmdr. Vanessa H. Griffin
Fleet Command Station, Terra Nova
Gallonhiger System

"Chief I'm bored!" the girly voice called, while the blonde woman sitting on a bench yawned and stretched her perfect body, raising a moment later, and walking a bit, showing off her curves "I know Annie..." she replied, as frustrated as her subordinate.

She looked around the bustling military section of the Station before her eyes "Not much we can do until they assign us to a ship" she continued, a sigh escaping her crimson lips "One would think the military would have better logistics..." her eyes now posse don the bags of her pilots, piling against each other nearby, close to her own, which was easy tell apart from the rest, since it wasn't the classical military dufel bag, instead it was a brand one, stylish, fashionable, everything a female who cares about apareance could want.

Vanessa was a woman of refined taste, a trace left by her short, yet succesful acting and modeling career (along with the earnings) along with her prickiness for her looks, she always needed to look gorgeous, no matter what "Guess not even been the poster girl of the corps helps...I hate the last minute changes in assignments..."

arrow T.S.S Enterprise - Bridge
Approaching Nonua Jumpgate

A Prometheus Class carrier made its approach to the Nonua system jumpgate. After several days out on a shakedown cruise, the Enterprise was ready to enter service. Her next stop was Fleet Command at Terra Nova to pick up her full crew, including several squadrons. The massive fleet carrier continued to burn towards the holding zone for the jumpgate. An Terran outpost was placed just at the gate to control traffic and defend the gate if any hostile forces appeared. Thankfully all three factions were at a state of peace.

The bridge of the Enterprise was loud with officers at the posts, entering commands on their consoles and relying orders throughout the ship. Since the ship had just gotten out of drydock, she had a skeleton crew on board, it didn't even have an Exo.

Her Captain, Tracy R Hart was a woman who dreamed of commanding a mighty naval vessel one day. Her dream came true two years ago when she got promoted to Captain and was giving assignment to the Enterprise as her keel was laid.

Captain Hart closed her eyes for a second and gave them a quick rest. She had been looking at monitors and readouts all morning, she wanted to make sure that every system on board was working one hundred and ten percent.

"Captain, Cairo station has given us a green light on jump prep." The Enterprise's navigation officer reported.

"Thank you Lieutenant, boot up the navicomputer and set coordinates for Gallonigher." Captain Hart ordered.

The Lieutenant nodded and turned to his four navigational officers.

"Begin jump prep. Booting up the navicomputer and load navigational course to Gallonigher." The Lieutenant said to his officers.

All four officers began to tap on commands on their consoles and began to get the ship ready for its jump into Gallonigher. Two short beeps sounded over the internal speakers.

"Attention all hands, jump prep underway. Secure all stations, I repeat jump prep underway."

The massive jumpgate came to life, the fusion reactors began to charge up the generators and within seconds a massive burst of energy was released. A wormhole was created.

"Lieutenant, all engines ahead full." Captain Hart ordered.

The main fusion engines on the Enterprise lit up and moved the massive carrier into the vortex of the wormhole where it vanished.

The Enterprise appeared seconds later in the Gallonigher system and flew out of the vortex, clearing the wormhole and main jumpgate structure.

"Jump complete, setting new course to Fleet Command. ETA ten minutes." The Lieutenant said.

The Enterprise had arrived at Fleet Command in orbit over Terra Nova. The planet looked so much like Earth. It was hard for Tracy not to look for North America or Europe. The Enterprise had received docking clearance on arm E. It took careful piloting and teamwork to get the massive carrier docked to the tiny docking arm. As soon as a seal was complete the airlock, doors opened and a Vice Admiral was waiting outside.

arrow Admiral Zeric Cain
Vangar Prime, Military Academy installation
Unrona System

Zeric's fingers raced across the keyboard as he worked on a number of reports. He knew that becoming an Admiral in the military would mean more desk work and less commanding grand warships in the vast unknown. However this was simply mind numbing work. Zeric hated writing out reports and status updates to the other Admirals and Fleet Admiral. Sometimes Zeric wondered if the navy was the right call to enlisted in. He had seen how advanced the Dominion ground forces had become. He loved the idea of commanding a small squad of troops into battle, feeling the ground as he ran for his life. Getting deaf from the explosions going off around him. Instead he chose a life on board a sealed, stale environment. His skills as a thinking was needed more in the navy then in the MACO's.

That is why he joined the MAC7 program as soon as it was started. He needed something different, something that could bring adventure back. This of course never really happened, as everything was at a state of peace in the galaxy. There was no enemy, no one to fight or protect. So, Zeric was placed at a desk job. At least he go the honor of meeting the Magistrate and many members of the elected staff. Now that he is an Admiral know too, he gets the honor of meeting the Magistrate every month.

A low sounding chime made Zeric lift his fingers from the keyboard and look over at a second monitor. A call was coming from Naval headquarters with the Fleet Admirals priority code on it.

arrow Captain Jacob Davis
IIC Command Ship - Operations Room
Sextus System Nebula

Captain Davis gave Colonel Natasha K. Danko-DeLaCroix a light smile as she answered the comms.

"Colonel, you and Captain Danko-DeLaCroix are ordered to my office. You two have ten minutes." Jacob said then terminated the comm.

Opening up a file on his computer, he then began to type on his keyboard. He of course was indeed timing the two officers on their way to his office. Captain Davis was like this, he was very strict and made everything have a deadline. He even once, shot a young enlisted for failing to follow orders. Of course no one ever found out that Jacob did this. One of his many traits, he had a knack of making this disappear forever.
