Good point T'char I think what will happen is that I will attack the planet like you said and when you jump in you are instantly in the middle of a fighter attack. You try to defend yourself or something like that and then after killing a few of my pilots some big cruiser or anti-fighter ship will take you out and then tractor you on board. after that you can make it up but I suggest you get transfered to the Sirius V first so whatever damage you do will actually affect me. Also I will know that it is a bounty hunters ship that we have captured but not who and I will not have seen your ship to be suspisious of that being you. Any way other than that I will probably post as soon as posible on the story.

Thats a good Idea t'char but Tython in the story dousnt knpow about the organisation he only knows about the sith so I will make the organisation on that planet be a heap of business owners who are supporting the sith so that the war will last longer. From there I will attack them and destroy all the main cities and hoppefully capture you in the process. If you have a better idea let me know so I can slip it in. PS. good luck in the comming battle.

Tython slowly shook his head so as to not get too dissy while stilll showing his surprise at his drinking friends lack of Marsial arts history. Tython interupted there drunkan ranting by saying. "The Echani are a race of people who are taught Echani fighting style from almost as soon as they can walk. They are normally considerd the best hand to hand fighters in the known universe or so I believe. They can normally kill a person more quickly with there hand than most people can with a gun." Tython explained as he watched his friends. OOC: most of this is from KOTOR: Sith Lords.

As Tython walked into the commanders office he noticed one of the ships captians talking privatly in the office. not wanting to interupt them Tython turned to the commanders aide-de-camp and asked him for the location of there next attack site and all the information they had on hte target. Several minutes later Tython was again walking through the corridors of the ship towards his room as he read the short briefing that he had recieved for their upcomming target. The planet was named Chiron VI and was a large desert planet that was covered by small clans of natives and a few large cities that controlled all the government and trade for the local areas. These cities where mostly controlled by alians from other planets who had brought out the local businesses several centuries earlier. It seemed that most of the businesses were known supporters of the Sith who had been behind most of the business purchases and they were using them as manafacturing places for large numbers of sith fighters and attack droids. Tython arrived at his room and instantly went to his computer terminal and started planning the comming battle with whatever the planet could throw at them.

Hey Guys Im all for an alliance but without having to be someones officers. I have trouble taking orders but suggestions are always done to the best of my ability. So if you will accept a lone ranger or two then I will happily join your alliance. By the way Krytos "hard luck mate I wish I could attack the guy but I just fininshed off all my attack turns."

Hi everyone, I'm so glad to hear that there are others playing KOC as well. And Krytos just so you dont feel so bad, I am the Dwarfs as well. Me and T'char are sort of working together although we havent needed to start a real war yet. My user name is Tython and at the moment I am about 64000th in the rankings I am hoping to get up to the top 10000 but I can only hope. Any way other than sites like the one Evaders99 set up how do we click each other and It would be realy cool if in the next age they set up trading between allies. (how do we recommend this to the designers). OOC: I have setarted posting again but I must be writing really badly because no one is posting replies. Any way I will probably see you around the place.

The conversation slowly began to seap through the hazz that was cushioning Tythons many minds from the outside world. Tython slowly waded towards the light and consiousnes. and suddenly, painfully he was there taking in all the sound and light of life and it hurt like hell. He slowly sat up and groaned as he looked around for some way to take his mind of the pain. Tython saw T'char and Karn over at the bar and so he slowly stood and stumbled over to try and give his minds something to focus on. When he finallly arrived after several long and painful minutes involviong many collisions and appologies. The first thing Tython said as he sat was "Please tell me this hangover will go away. I need some positive thoughts and hopefully something to talk about." Tython suddenly had a random thought and said "Karn would you happen to know what sort of training the clone troopers go through in the area of combat. I mean are they on a level with the Echani or do they only specialise in weapons." as he slumped into a more cumfortable position against the bar.

HI again if your going to sabotage my ship Tchar what we will do is at the next planet that we have to attack you can jump out of hyperspace and posibly get cought in the cross fire. maybe, maybe not any way I will get you transported onto the Sirius V and from there you can start causing havoc with our systems. I will hopefully see you soon.

Hi Krytos, Sorry about not writing much over the holidays but I couldnt get access to a computer. any way I am back now and I should be able to write more regularly. any way about Jesses idea, it sounds great you just have to get afton to be on a planet where we stop to refuel.

After reviewing the stats for a long time Tyhton came to the only posible conclusion. They were loosing fighter pilots too quickly to be able to support there offencive action for much longer than two years. The number of fighters lost was sustainable but the pilots were not. After this revelation Tython secretly got into his new uniform and snuck out of the hospital and down to the hanger bay to talk to the chief engineer. After many long hours with the Chief Engineer they had managed to come up with an idea for making the pilots ejection pods selfsustainable for a five hour period and to be able to withstand the explosion of the fuel tank and engines. With these new modifications being put in place Tython headed up to the Commanders office to find out where they were going to attack next so he could plan the fighter formation that he would have to use.

"Sort of the same thing" Tython replied. "I'm a pilot in the Vathinor air force. I came along here to see my friend T'char. He's a bounty hunter around here. But I think I've been here about 3 days now and I have gotten totally ruined a grand total of 6 times." . "So do you intend on staying long." Tython said as he glanced longingly at his cup.

Tython sat there totally shocked with what had just happened. At the beggining of the battle he had been the fill in captain for three fighter squadrons, now he was the commander of 12 full fighter squadrons. when tython finally got over his surprise he grabbed the computer that the fleet admiral had left and started reviewing information about the pilots. After several long hours Tython had succesfully rearanged all the squadrons so that that all the pilots in each squadron had the same fighters and they all fought in approximatly the same style. After all that hard thinking Tython was geatting a headache but just before he lapsed back into unconciousnes he called up a mechanic and asked him to get another Triphon fighter and to set it up with the nural interface again as his old fighter had been totally destroyed in the ramming mission with the suicide ship.

Tython suddenly noticed that he was staring into his empty cup and he probably had been for some time. He glanced at Karn who seemed to be in conversation with a person that tython could not remember if he had seen before. When Karn mentioned that the mans name was UlicHorn Tython looked at him and said "So what line of business you in Mr Ulic". OOC: By the way Ulic can I join that new thread as well? what ever you want me to be it dousent matter as long as im not a girl.

The first thing Tython noticed was the quiet and then off in the background he heard soft beeping noises like those life support machines in medical made. Next came his feeling and suddenly he realised he was lying on a bed covered in blankets and feeling absolutly terrible. He tried to open an eye but as soon as he did the light was like searing pain destroying all other feeling. After several minutes of this Tython finally managed to get used to the pain and he sat up. Only then did he notice that the comandore was sitting next to him in a chair and he was most definitly not looking happy. Tythons first instinct was to start making excuses but he realised that to do so was to commit military suicide so he said "how bad was it sir". The comandore looked at Tython and said with a perfectly straight face "We cained them from the outer rim to Corasunt. Congratulations you have proved me wrong. From now on you will be the over all leader of the entire fighter wing. Good luck." he then stood and left the room leaving only his small computer with all the details of the battle so that tython could review how the pilots went and how to best use them in future battles.

Tython turned to t'char and said "Do you really think the empire would allow the new republic to set up embassies on their worlds? I don't know much about politics but I would imagine that the empire would hate having something like that on their world. Thats why I recommended spies so that the new republic can find out about how the people feel without having to go through the empire." At that Tython looked around questioningly as he took a small sip from his beer.

Tython was spinning, diving, shooting, diving again. Suddenly the sky seemed to clear as the anti-fighter ships got within range of the battle and started clearing up the edges of the battle. Tython then realised that the enemy fighters where using a very strange battle formtaion as if they where trying to hide somthing that was tryng to fly around the battle and hit the Sirius V that was almost undefended now that all the defencive ships had rushed into the fighter battle. Tython quickly called together his own personal squadron and flew towards the Sirius V hoping that he could stop what ever was going to attack. Tython got to the Sirius V just as a strange ship appeared on his senses only a short distance from the mother ship. Tython quickly called all his fighters to shoot at the enemy vessal but the shots seemed to have no effect. Tython then made a lightining desision. He would have to ram the enemy ship so that it didnt ram the Sirius V. With this Tython called to his second in command and said "Pilot I am going to ram that ship. Be ready to pick up my life pod after the explosion is over." With those final words Tython flew at the enemy suicide ship and just before his fighter entered the ships deflecter shields Tython ejected his escape pod.

Tython considered what the new commer had said and replied " You are perfectly right. The people should choose their own government. But how are they going to do that if they are represed or controled by a dictator or tyrant. They will never be able to get a message out to call for help. In that case I think it would be wise for the New Republic to send in some spys, just to find out what the people think and if there is enough support then they can think about trying to "liberate that world". But if the imperials are doing a good job then why stop a good thing?" Tython replied as he looked over at Tchar as he was slowly getting over his drink. Obviously Trandoshions could not hold their drink very well.

Tython was a little surprised by the sudden change of topic but after thinking for only a moment said "I think that if the Empire leader is one of the worst types and is forcing the local population to do things they dont want to do and they kill people on a whim then they should be gotten rid of.... Though attacking the planet with a fleet would not be the best way that it could be done. Personally I would recommend the use of a small group of commandoes going in and try to take out the empirical soldiers without killing anyone though everyone knows that that is almost imposible to achieve.". As Tython finished he noticed someone standing nearby and he turned and said "Hi, I'm Tython what can I do for you."

As Tython raced back to the Sirius V he took a roll call of all his fighters. Surprisingly only seventy-five pilots had been killed or damaged in the fighting with the one hundred fighter squadrons from the two moons. The enemy fighters arrived at the Sirius V just seconds before Tythons fighters arrived and hit them from behind. The battle continued and after the initual slaughter both sides settled down to try and destroy the opponents fighters.

Tython looked at karn and nodded solemly. "I think thats a problem with most leaders. They dont know their men so they dont care when they lose them. so they probably wouldnt even care if they lost several thousand or million solders in a single battle so long as they win. I think that these sort of people are just sadistic people who would probably be better seuted as vampires." Tython said letting all his anoyance and irritation out in his voice.

All the fighters under Tythons command that had survived the first battle had now had enough surviving on reflexes so that they had grown in skill level all the way up to master within only a few minutes. When Tythons fighter wing hit the enemy fighters this time the enemy did not scatter. But neither did the Mouvian wing. Both sides rushed at each other and for one brief instant there was total chaos, Then suddenly Tython found himself giving orders and rallying the fighters. Within a few short minutes the enemy fighters were again fleeing. Tython knew that he did not have time to totally destroy the enemy fleet. All he had time to do was gather all his fighters together and flee back to the Sirius V to stop the bombers and fighters from the planet doing any damage to the Offencive Fleet.

Tythons pilots flew straight at the enemy fighters hoping to put them out position so that the fighters that were following could all get in one clear shot at an enemy fighter before they had to actually start fighting themselves. The battle was hard and vicious but all the way through it Tython was sending messages to all the differnet captains to give them advice and to send them to support an area where one squadron or another was being hard pressed. five minutes later Tython looked around and was stuned at the amount of damage that could be inflicted in such a short time in these fast paced battles. Tythons disruption tactics had worked so well that most of the enemy fighters had been destroyed before they could even get a shot off. from the first moon there were only fleeing specs on the horizon to indicat where they had fled and the Mouvians had lost only twelve fighters. Tython was very impresed he haddn't expected to go that well at all. Tython then called all the captains into formation and quickly desided that there best chance for survival would be to run and charge the fifty squadrons that were flying there way from the enemy moon.

"Yes" Tython quickly agreed. Almost too quickly. Tython tried to explain his sudden change in behaviour by saying "I have often seen very good people being corrupted by power. So giving anyone except the most trusted and loyal within the Republic would just be inviting disaster to come in and destroy everything we are fighting for." Tython finninshed by sighing and saying "Sorry I'm a bit sensitive about these topics... I've lost too many close friends that way... I guess its like the old saying goes "dont make friends in war and you wont loose them."" Tython finished by sighing deaply.

Tython had been studying the planet now for several hours and still he could not see how he was going to enter the system without getting half the fighters killed within ten minutes of them arriving. Suddenly Tython noticed that the moons where evenly spaced around the planet and that only two of the moons had fighter bases on them. Tython looked at that for several minutes just knowing that some how that would be important when it dawned on him. If the strike force came into the system behind the moon that had one of the planets defencive squadrons on it then Tython would have enough time for the pilots to get used to their fighters in a combat situation against the pilots from the moon before the rest of the fleet could even get within firing range. With this Tython realised that if he could get most of his pilots to survive the first battle then they would be able to survive the rest of the entire fight relatively easily. Several hours later Tython had briefed all of the squadron captains and had told the commander what his battle plans where. The commander had neather agreed with what he wanted to do or disagreed. Tython was at the moment in his fighter getting ready to launch into space as soon as the Sirius V came out of hyperspace. Tython knew that the best chance the other pilots would have is if they stayed behind Tythons personal squadrons untill they were used to their ships. Suddenly the commands were blaring across their personal communication systems and Tython flew through the magnetic shields and out into the void. Tython could just see the enemy fighters taking off from the moon that was closest to where they had entered the system. Tython knew that they would have about two minutes to get all the fighters in order before the enemy fighters reached them. Tython also knew that even though he was only taking on one quarter of the enemy fighters they would still be fighting a three to one battle.

"friends" I like the sound of that. So Krytos what new twist have you got up your sleave to put in the story and make it even more interesting and twisted to understand. Sounds great. I cant wait to see what you do. Anyway I'm just about to post the second part of the battle at the planet and it should be interesting. I'm going to make the battle seem hard but not too bad so that it will still take something really special to save the day.
