Firestar chronicles, Part III
Captain Oskin of the Firestar shuddered in Disbelief, why was a Friendly battlegroup attacking him? In a deadly nebula declared off limits to ships not authorized to enter it without a Permission given only by the highest officials of the Feline council?This wa abnormal, Night fury-feline tensions had been almost completely absent for a century and the last revolt was related to Wage, not independence and even that had been several Decades ago.
“Ensign, Evasive pattern Gamma-6!, i want a communication line to the battlegroup!” Oskin said as he stormed onto the bridge, which was in a flury of Chaos as officers ran about it.
“Sir, Communication lines Open!” said the Comms officer
“This is Captain Oskin of the Feline Starship Firestar,Do you have any sanity?Do you know about what consequences this will have on the entirety of the Hadroxian province?”
“I am Well aware of what Consequences await me…”
To his surprise, the answer did not have a Hadroxian accent, not even a hint of their physiology in their voice, it was a old Karmanian accent.
Karmania was a Old Nation on Felinus, Karmania had been known for its siberian temperatures in winter and warm ones in summer, Felinus has a Axial tilt of 31.21 Degrees, meaning that the seasons were much more extreme there, and Combined with its 420 Day trip around the sun, meant it had Long seasons.
Karmania had its own Culture and Accent, even after planetary unification after the 4th Felinus world war, The Karmanian Culture stuck around.
Karmania, however, had willingly joined the United Republics of Felinus (Which evolved into the United Feline Republics).The Fact that a Karmanian had this much rebellion and followers said they were not fighting for a well known group.
“So…Your Not Hadroxian i take it?” He said calmly, the Explosions and Fighting had stopped.
“No…Clearly not.”Said the other voice
“Then, Who are you fighting for and what’s with the ships?”He asked
“Well..These were taken from a old yard of retired ship’s, and I am going to say your not going to find out who i am fighting for.”
“I take it because you think it’s because you outnumber me?”
“Yes.”
He thought for a second.
“well…Buddy, those are old ships and our shields were not at full strength when you attacked us”He said, “If we were to say, fight back, what would happen?”
He heard a gulp, lack of breath for a second, then the voice.
“Numbers matter.”
He chuckled
“Buddy…Numbers don't matter if your ship can target Multiple targets at the same time and launch missiles at those targets, for example, We have Very good targeting systems on our ship, if we wanted to knock out a few frigates in one volley, i have no doubt in our ship”
He heard the person on the other side sigh, and breath rapidly before catching his breath
“Now, Now…D-Don’t get any idea’s”
“I have quite a few, and neither end in a good outcome for you, The ‘Number’s’ are really on our side, because we have superior tech to you, and we have a hanger bay with advanced fighter’s, do you have either?”
He heard another gulp.
“No, but-”
“Listen, you know full well who is winning this fight, and your still pushing for the fight?I find this not a very…Smart move from you.So if you value your life’s and freedom, you will surrender, it will look better if you apologize and surrender now”
“I will not be going to any sort of Trial, not while you do your little thing’s in your little empire”The other voice said.
“Well, first, I have no idea whether you are either clueless to the current situation of the United Feline republics, or are choosing to deceive yourself.”
“I refuse to follow orders from your little empire” He heard the other voice snarl.
“...And that brings me to the second thing, you are actually within bounds of the UFR’s Border’s, so you are actually required to follow order’s.”
“...And i wont”
“...And that’s a very dumb idea”He sighed.
“It’s a fine idea”
“Sir”He heard a ensign on his ship say,”They are charging weapons”
He sighed.”bring all defenses and weapons online”
They nodded.
The Enemy fired the first missiles, but they were intercepted by the Point defense cannons. In return, the Firestar fired a volley of Missiles, equipped with either Fragment rounds or plasma rounds.
Flashes light up the viewscreen as the first Feline missiles find their targets, their more advanced tech meant almost all got through.Some destroyed the enemy ships on the spot, while other’s were disabled by the barrage.
“Now, can we talk?”
A Debris ring was spreading, the nearest star was a Class M star, and the ring was on a trajectory to hit the star.
He could tell the enemy was now defeated.
“Fine…we will talk”
Hadrox, Northern Region of Continent ‘Aracsnos’
He lay beneath a tree, it had been a month and a half since that encounter, He had marked it in his mind, it could had gone worse and better.
Hadrox was a very beautiful planet,with it’s purple and green tree’s, and also the sky at sunset was a perfect Cyan, and by Day, it was a Light Purple, The Grass was short and also not very sharp, it was one of his favorite places outside his home, the Weather was chilly, as the planet had a 25* Axial tilt, but had a cooler star, even despite being close to it’s orange dwarf star, it was cold here.
He was far away from the city’s of Hadrox, No Light Pollution, the sky was filled with the planet’s rings and it’s largest moon. Which had some speckles of Light as the moon had some colonies. He caught sight of a shooting star, which were common here, the Ring’s were stable with the combined pull of the moons doing a good job at keeping them away from the planet.
He got up and walked over to a Telescope, which was trained on a far away yellow dot.
He saw just a Star, Felines had improved on telescopes, but the star of Felinus was too Far away from him to view any planet’s with a scope this small.
He caught something else, a Spaceship, he followed it, it was a Donnnager Battleships, the 4 Nacelles jut out like the legs of a chair as it warps away.
He sigh’s and lay’s back down.
What’s next?
