I find myself caught in the middle
of the most significant battle imaginable, determined to endure. I always
manage to pull through, regardless of the situations I encounter. Therefore, I
seek a way to board the Veridian spacecraft known as the Interstellar Odyssey.
This small cruiser has limited weaponry but boasts the best available Adaptive
Shielding. I have a crucial task: to get someone on board who possesses
critical information that can end the conflict between us, the Aquilonis, and
our adversaries, the Veridians. I learn we need to swiftly return this
individual to our government so they can ascertain the information and evidence
regarding the explosion and why the Veridians have not taken responsibility for
This step is essential to halting the war and restoring peace between our
factions. However, given the origins of our conflict, achieving peace on our
planet is daunting. For nearly 18 years, families have been torn apart without
any means of contact, and many rifts need mending to reunite us.
So, I navigate the Odyssey. We
move fast towards the big warships as the battle continues. Z and I realize
that making it through this battle in one piece will be challenging. Yet, we
can always manoeuvre through ships unnoticed because this mission remains top
secret. Only the top brass knows our objective on this trip. If anyone catches
us, they will deny everything and claim they have no idea why we are there. We
dodge fire from both sides because my ship has no markings; I can blend in with
both factions. I've retrofitted my boat with an Echo Tranquilizer, allowing us
to turn off ships without destroying them. Our scientists and engineers
designed this weapon specifically so we could board the ship without injuries
or deaths. As I fly towards the struggle between our ships, I feel uncertain
about where I'm heading. I start dodging missiles first, knowing they can be
fired from a long distance and lock onto their targets. For now, this task
feels a bit too easy. My flying skills keep us Out of trouble. I weave towards
the skirmish, and while I don't know my exact direction, I can instinctively
dodge the missiles. My sixth sense seems to guide me, and Z knows what to do as
we simultaneously navigate towards the Veridians; we lose count of how many
missiles we evade. Now, we find ourselves in range of the laser cannons,
increasing our danger. Our shields will have to work overtime. Once through
that, we recognise that the challenge is not over yet. The Veridians send out
fighter ships because we've moved closer to their base ship. We manoeuvre away
from the base ship to ensure the fighter ships can't reach us, limited by their
fuel. But we faced another problem: One of the Veridian cruisers started moving
our approach to investigate our activities. We lock onto the Odyssey's
coordinates and see they are trying to appear like they are being with the
battle. We redirect our computer to the nearest planet and move away from VSS
Aetherstar—VSS stands for Verilonis Star Ships. We return to the Odyssey's
location when we reach the nearest closet.
We picked up an important
person, Elara Dran-Tai, who once held a high position in the Verilonis. Her
family faced a downfall because her grandfather was involved in fraud and money
laundering. However, Elara was not connected to those events, as her
grandfather died when she was very young. At that time, she did not understand
what had happened or why her family lost their status as government advisers.
Despite her challenging
background, Elara has always been a down-to-earth person, treating everyone
equally. She worked hard to reach her current position in government, but I
believe many still judge her based on her family's past. Personally, I see her
as a person deserving of respect, even though she doesn't know me. I hope she
won't judge me and Z based on appearances. If she wants to receive the help we
can offer, she will need to trust us to ensure her safe passage from point A to
point B.
The planet is called the
Exionis farming facility, an advanced agricultural system on a disunite world.
From the spacecraft's viewpoint, large, luminous fields are arranged in a
precise grid pattern, each emitting a gentle, neon glow. These lights brighten
the crops, creating a striking contrast against the dark, rocky terrain of the
planet.
Sleek, towering structures
dominate the area, housing cutting-edge farming technology. Aerial drones
hover, overseeing the crops with precision. The facility optimises artificial
lighting and employs advanced technology for maximum efficiency, ensuring
optimal growth in harsh planetary conditions. The planet itself remains barren,
surrounded by rugged rock formations, while in the distance, the vastness of
space displays stars and distant celestial bodies. The spacecraft hovers just
above, providing a sweeping view of the facility's intricate designs and
high-tech operations. Verilonis and we, the Aquilonis, trade fruit and other
plant-based food. This delicate, balanced environment helps everything grow and
survive, also contributing to infrastructure improvement. Additionally, we
source fish from there, as the air and water remain unpolluted. So, with the
coordinates of the Odyssey in hand, I hope it hasn't moved far from where it
was before heading towards Exionis. Here we go back there.
So, she rushed to our
government building for safety. Before they could ask, she said, "I wouldn't be
here if it weren't for Z and me; I owe them a debt of gratitude. Do you want
him?" Then she asked, "Are you coming with us? Is that okay?" She assured me
she trusted him and Zyloq. "Is that okay with you? Please ask Zyloq to move the
ship to the government building?" Of course, I had to comply with her request.
My curiosity about the information she held, which could potentially end this
war, pushed me forward.
We all entered a secure,
soundproof room in the government building, guarded by four armed personnel.
Radio jamming equipment surrounded us to prevent leaks and ensure our
discussions remained confidential.
Ara began to explain her
thoughts about the explosion she orchestrated, revealing proof of her actions
and motives. She told us how was responsible for the explosion to The Shadow
Empire from the Cosmic Void, known as the Nyxar Dominion. This clandestine
empire thrives in perpetual darkness, utilizing secrecy, cunning, and energy
extraction from dying stars. The enigmatic Ebon Sovereigns lead them, embodying
the void itself, with their intentions as mysterious as the darkness
surrounding them. The Nyxar Dominion seeks to divide and conquer our planet
until the end of the week.
Elara shared crucial
information about the very explosion that sparked our conflict. "How can we not
be to blame?" they questioned. "We sold parts to merchants across our solar
system. If we examine the bomb's serial number from the spaceship that exploded
while heading to Earth years ago, we might uncover invaluable insights." Some
state officials asked, "How can we trust that you sold that part to someone
years ago?" Elara responded, "Here's proof," as she retrieved the file
containing the serial number and details of the sale. We discovered the part
had landed in the hands of the Nyxar Dominion, revealing their long-laid plans
to acquire our planet and our resources, she rushed to our government building

Elara
shared crucial information about the very explosion that sparked our conflict.

discovered the part had landed in the hands of the Nyxar Dominion, revealing Their
long-laid plans to acquire our planet's defence shields without issues. She
also told us about what she found out about Nyxar Dominion's new battleships.
There are Colossal battleships which are called the Erebus
Class. The first is called
the Nyxar elite she did not know how many more have been built
or how many are being planned to be built ether yet. We have dome spy's trying
to find that information out as soon as possible. But what we do know about the
Erebus Class Is the specifications for them are they Emerging silently from the cosmic
darkness, the Erebus-class frigate was the embodiment of stealth and precision,
a shadow crafted from advanced technology. Classified officially as a Stealth
Frigate and Heavy Reconnaissance Vessel, it measured a formidable 265 meters in
length, with a beam spanning 87 meters and standing 56 meters high. Despite its
robust dimensions, it glided effortlessly through the void, its 195,000 metric
tons masked expertly by advanced engineering.
Aboard
the Erebus, the standard crew of 80 operated with calculated efficiency, though
the ship could function minimally with just 35 trained personnel. When missions
demanded, its occupancy expanded seamlessly to accommodate up to 140
individuals—marines, technicians, pilots, and covert operatives ready for rapid
infiltration or clandestine operations.
Its
propulsion was a marvel, featuring four primary Ion Pulse Drives enabling rapid
sunlight acceleration and nimble manoeuvres with minimal detectability. For
swift interstellar traversal, a Quantum Slipstream Core allowed Erebus-class
vessels to leap silently between star systems, leaving scarcely a ripple
detectable by conventional sensors. Should the primary systems falter, antimatter-fueled
reaction thrusters provided a critical lifeline in emergencies.
Energy
was drawn from a sophisticated Antimatter Fusion Core, heavily shielded and
cloaked to conceal the vessel's energy signatures, with an Auxiliary Quantum
Flux Reactor poised to take over if necessary.
Defence
and stealth were interwoven into Erebus's very framework. Its Adaptive Stealth
Shield Matrix reduced detection across visible and energy spectrums, while
Quantum Deflection Shields dissipated incoming energy fire effortlessly. The
hull, armoured with Composite Nanoalloy plating and reinforced graphene layers,
shrugged off kinetic impacts and energy strikes alike, further aided by
radar-absorbent coatings.
Though
built for subtlety, the Erebus-class was armed impressively. Four
forward-mounted Particle Beam Cannons delivered devastating precision strikes,
supported by eight Pulse Laser Turrets forming a defensive perimeter. Within
concealed internal bays rested 30 Quantum-guided Torpedoes, including stealth
variants and specialized EMP missiles capable of neutralizing enemy electronics
without direct confrontation.
Advanced
Multi-spectrum Cloaking rendered the frigate virtually invisible across
optical, electromagnetic, and thermal spectrums, aided further by Active
Signature Suppression technology. The vessel's sensory array, featuring
Multi-dimensional Quantum Scanners, probed distant threats and hidden anomalies
with unmatched clarity, while secure Quantum-encrypted communications ensured
immunity against hacking and tracking.
Electronic
warfare capabilities allowed the Erebus to disrupt enemy communications,
navigation, and targeting systems effortlessly, turning confusion into a
tactical advantage. The internal hangar housed up to two medium-sized support
craft—shuttlecraft, fighters, or dropships—complemented by six stealth recon
drones and automated maintenance bots that ensured operational readiness.
Designed
for extended deep-space operations, life support aboard the Erebus included
automated hydroponic gardens, closed-loop oxygen recycling systems, and food
synthesizers, sustaining crews autonomously for up to a full year. Its roles
spanned covert reconnaissance, espionage, rapid infiltration and exfiltration,
strategic command, and deep-space intelligence gathering, making it a
formidable presence lurking quietly among the stars. At the moment our
battleships are no where near them on both sides.
Just as we were about to
leave, an encrypted call provided us with the meeting's location, timing, and
details, filling us with excitement as everything fell into place for our
adventure! We waited for the details, though we lacked specific details about
the pickup information on key participants; we completed our flight checks and
informed Planet Protection Security. To our delight, they quickly approved our
plans, and the government gave us a big green light to proceed!
We prepared to take off with
anticipation, looking forward to soaring through the planet's shield. The
ongoing conflict presented challenges. We remained optimistic about the peace
process ahead, even knowing that picking up the dignitaries would be tricky.
Our dignitaries was on the way to meet us at the meeting point.
As we approached the planet's defence
shields, they opened for us like a warm embrace, welcoming us onward. Fuelled
by determination, we confidently entered the coordinates for the pickup point.
Sure, some battles raged nearby, but we felt ready to zip in and out with
agility and speed.
Here we go, filled with hope
and excitement, eager to make a difference! Ships in a battle with the Verdians.
I've done it before, so I know what to expect and with my six-sense to help on
my way. I knew this was going to be a challenge, and the odds may be high that
we will. He failed on his trip, but I like the odds of doing something. I will
do it Here. I have been in worse positions than this, but that was when I could
talk my way out of things. However, This time was different. I knew I had many
lives relying on me to help stop this war. So the job is to get there in one
piece and get to the meeting point in one piece, too. So I hope the dignitaries
don't want an official welcome is needed because that won't happen. I've not
got time for that kind of shit. We need to get on them fast so we can get out
of there and reach the meeting point quickly. So I was lucky Elara could help
me quickly get them on the ship and explain things. So we got to the pickup
point, and it was not easy with all the cannon and missiles flying across both
sides. So the ship was one of my old friends from the Veridians who does the
same, but he's not as good as I am. I won his Ship off him in a game of cards.
He always thought I cheated out of the ship, but I knew what cards he had. I did
give him a chance not to bet his ship and lose his money, but he threw it in
and lost it all. His name is Kael Drake
(Drakey for short). He is a great pilot but not as good as I am. He does think
he charms his way through anything. Anyway, we go way back, even well before
the war started between us, but we still bump into each other on our delivery
of the same things as me. We do have a bit of a competition between us. We
would race to see how to get to the next delivery first. So I was my old ship.
I sold it to him as I won his ship off him, so it was a win-win for me I did.
let him have it cheap because I would have to modify the Phantom
to make it my own. The
ship is sold. He was called the Astral Tempest it had done me well but it was
getting a bit old and battered now it was over 10 years old. So we had some
banter about my old ship, but not today.
But I saw someone I knew as her
bodyguard for the dignitaries and Elara's protection. What I know about the bodyguard
from her repatriation. Her name is Vex (NEWT) Ardent, and she is a striking
figure in the vast expanse of the galaxy. Her presence is a vibrant testament
to her individuality and independence. In her mid-20s, she has cultivated a
unique persona that blends a fierce love for weaponry with a keen sense of
technological innovation. Her weapons are not merely tools of combat; they are
extensions of her creativity and a reflection of her resourcefulness in a
high-tech society. She has mastered the art of seamlessly integrating tech
upgrades into her firearms and body armour, ensuring that it remains sleek and
unobtrusive yet still provides a superior edge in any skirmish.
At first glance, Vex is quiet and reserved, preferring to observe her
surroundings until she feels comfortable enough to open up. Her demeanour is
calm, yet an underlying intensity hints at her fierce loyalty to those she
considers friends. Once trust is established, Vex transforms into a steadfast
ally, always ready to lend a hand, even if it means she neglects her own needs.
Her attire further emphasises her fierce personality. She wears sleek
black leg armour that hugs her form, paired with combat boots that reach just
below her knees. The shoes adorned with two chains—one clasping just above the
foot and the other three inches from the top—are as functional as they are
stylish. Leather straps at the top and middle ensure the armour stays firmly in
place during any engagement. Vex also sports an oversized leather jacket that
allows for freedom of movement while draping elegantly over her armoured
attire. The coat boasts a prominently displayed Assassin's logo on the upper
right arm, a tribute to her clan, while her name is etched in tribal design on
the front, adding a personal touch. The back of her jacket features an embossed
skull insignia interwoven with the image of her clan's helmet, a reminder of
her roots and the battles she has fought.
Vex's helmet, a matte black masterpiece, sports the Polish Assassin's
clan insignia on the back. The visor, tinted jet black, conceals her identity
in the heat of battle, adding an air of mystery to her already formidable
presence. A scratch just below the Assassin's logo marks her victories, a
silent testament to her prowess as a fighter—an amusing detail to those who
take the time to really get to know her.
Her ship, the 2023 X-7 Fury Cruise. its was called Fury for short.
mirrors her design aesthetic. Finished in metallic black, the vessel glides
through the cosmos with understated elegance, deliberately designed to blend
into the boundless star-fields where cosmic dust can be a formidable adversary.
The ship's aerodynamic shape is not just for looks; it has side and top hull
shields for enhanced protection and a reinforced energy film to guard against
micrometeorite impacts. Inside, heated control grips ensure comfort during long
voyages, while a The custom-designed pilot seat provides maximum support,
making it ideal for extended interstellar missions. With Vex at the helm, the
X-7 Fury Cruiser is not just a mode of transport—it is an extension of her
spirit, embodying her adventurous soul and unyielding determination to forge
her path among the stars.
So, no, we have to work out our way back through the battle again. The
meeting point was at Plant Exionis, the farming plant. They had
an area set up in their government building that was a soundproof room. But we
have to get there in one piece. We found out that they converted a barn into a
landing bay, so we hid my spaceship. Plus, no one could see how it was on the
ship, either. I was in this meeting. I had to get the ship ready to take off at
a moment's notice. One of two reasons is that if anyone comes to find out what is
going on, and the second reason is that if the Nyxar Dominion finds out about
this meeting, they may take full advantage of the situation by killing
everyone. There was a no-fly zone around the planet, and we had our ship's
radar up towards the sky. So we get some notice if anything is coming towards
the planet. But looking the meeting went well. They all come out and walked
back to my ship. So now it's back up in space with Veridian delegates to meet
back with my old pal Drakey
ship. Back in to the battle like the same as before missiles and laser cannons
fire all over the place. As my ship was one of the fastest ship out there it was
not a problem for us. We did the drop off of the delegates it was so easy this
time. We knew what to expect this time too.
Cassian
stood at the expansive viewport of the orbital shipyard, gazing upon the sleek,
majestic form of the newly completed Xyrlaxis-Class cruiser. Born from
unprecedented collaboration between Aquilonis and Veridian, she was a vessel
that embodied the unity—and the urgency—of their joint struggle against the
Nyxar Dominion.
At 435
meters in length, with a width of 145 meters and towering 75 meters tall, the
Xyrlaxis-Class dominated the orbital dockyards. Her hull gleamed, a subtle
shimmer betraying the presence of advanced stealth coating layered atop
tri-weave Nano polymer composite armour, further reinforced by reactive
graphene plating. She wasn't merely a battleship; she was an elegant, lethal spectre
of deep space.
Designed
originally for a peaceful mission to Earth, necessity had swiftly reshaped her
into a formidable multi-role cruiser. The ship was equipped to carry a standard
crew of 220, yet could operate effectively with as few as 90. Her decks could
also accommodate up to 300 battle-hardened marines, and space remained for an
additional contingent of 80 specialists, diplomats, or scientists. At full
capacity, 600 souls could call this advanced vessel home.
Cassian
felt a thrill of awe at the propulsion systems that lay within her engineering
core. Twin Ion-Impulse drives guaranteed unmatched manoeuvrability, supported
by gravitational stabilizers that would let her dance gracefully through
asteroid fields or maintain precision orbit around any celestial body. But her
true edge came from the upgraded Quantum Slipstream Drive Mk III, capable of
leaps up to 75,000 light-years, swift and silent—an essential trait when facing
an enemy as cunning as the Nyxar.
Her
heart was a Hyper-Stabilized Antimatter Fusion Reactor, humming silently
beneath the armoured plating, flanked by Quantum Flux Auxiliary Reactors
ensuring redundancy and stealth capabilities. For emergencies, antimatter
propulsion thrusters were on standby, ready for quick escapes or unexpected manoeuvres.
Defensively,
she was unmatched. Her Adaptive Quantum-Phase Shields shimmered invisibly
around her hull, effectively resisting kinetic, particle, and directed-energy
assaults. A Layered Deflection Grid dispersed projectile impacts, rendering
conventional attacks ineffective.
Her
offensive power was equally formidable. Forward-mounted twin Quantum Lance
Cannons promised devastating strikes against even heavily armoured capital
ships. Heavy Particle Beam Turrets offered omnidirectional firepower, while
automated Pulse-Laser Defence Grids swiftly neutralized enemy fighters and
missiles. Rapid-fire Railgun Batteries and Quantum-Guided Torpedo Launchers,
loaded with EMP, stealth, and plasma torpedoes, rounded out her formidable
arsenal.
But
perhaps her greatest advantage lay in her stealth and cyber warfare
capabilities. A Quantum Cloaking Field Generator rendered her nearly invisible
across electromagnetic and visual spectra, while sophisticated
Signature-Suppression Systems minimized detection even by advanced quantum
sensors. Her advanced cyber-warfare suite was capable of real-time hacking,
electronic sabotage, and enemy system disruptions—tools critical for the covert
operations that lay ahead.
Inside,
sustainability was paramount. A fully self-sufficient life-support ecosystem
with hydroponics and synthetic food production systems meant she could
independently sustain her crew for 18 months without resupply. Complemented by
closed-loop oxygen recycling, this star ship was ready for prolonged deep-space
voyages, whether for exploration, warfare, diplomacy, or special operations.
Cassian
knew she represented hope, strength, and unity against the darkness brought by
the Nyxar Dominion. As he watched drones and automated bots flit around her
hull, performing final system checks, he couldn't help but feel a sense of
pride. The Xyrlaxis-Class wasn't just a ship—she was our home world's ultimate
defender, the vement of Aquilonis-Veridian resilience. So they asked me and Z
if we could put it through its paces by doing a war games to see how she
performed. So the plan was to see her under real life battle conditions. Where
at first she would try to hunt us down and then we swop around. I knew I needed
more crew for this so I asked my old friend Drakey how is
good at defensive tactics. I asked Elara
If she like observe how well the new battleship performed. I also asked if her
bodyguard (Vex) would be joining her as will if. I knew she good on Offensive tactics
and if I knew she also knew she thinks outside the box too. I did ask Vex if
she bring her ship (fury) because it would lock under my ship. I knew its going
to be tough they have a big advantage from the start. I am always for the
challenge too and my ship is quiet and nibble. Plus I've not told anyone one
about Vex spaceship underneath my ship. But war not fair anyway. So I know this
would tip the favour back towards me a bit it will give me more ways to test
the new battlecruiser a bit more. I also obtained three robots one was a
protocol/Language specialist
robot it's called Verba (Latin for "words"). This one will come in handy become it
can talk to ship quicker then I can. It can run diagnoses on my ship quickly
and help with work around to. The other two robot are repair robots they can
work inside and outside the ship when the ship on the go. Their names are NOVA-R3
(R3 for short) and AegirX (X for short). I knew for the war game the repair
robots should not be need fingers crossed.
So the
war game will begin in a couple of days so I had time to prep my ship with and
set up the computer so it would simulate getting hit by missiles and gun fire
from the battle trials. They are doing the same as us with their ship I have
done one modification to my ship just in case something happens. Like if the Nyxar's
tried to attack us and our new battlecruiser. With one button to switch us from
simulation to full battle mode I suggested that our Battlecruiser (vement of
Aquilonis-Veridian resilience) to do the same as us. So let the games begin in
a few days we had set out some older battleship to give any early warning if
the Neyxar make a more to destroy our new battlecruiser which it still armed to
the teeth. They did make sure the war heads to missiles was put in a safe place
and secure on the ship. So we was ready I'd ask everyone one to get on my ship
now. So we can get things ready and get use to everything before the war game
begins.
