Centuries past, since the dawning of man, the race for supreme power over planet earth. Ruthless dictators ravaged countries forcing them to accept their new leaders, forcing revolutions and countless world wars, to soon and the world was lost to Nuclear destruction.
What was once a planet content with minor battles and petty arguments, fertile lands, and cities built by families, is now a barron waste land. With only a few handfuls of civilians forming groups to salvage any scraps to survive.
The time is now, and the wars still rage on, only this time, not on land, but in the deep black of space. Sirius sector, a small fragment of space home to the colonies from Earth, who were able to complete the space race. Bretonia, Liberty, Kusari and Rheinland, all were able to secure their own territories and forge new empires in sirius sector.
Even though the war between has faded away, a darker power wakes from the deepest parts of sirius sector.
Unknown systems 1 and 2 were scouted by the monkeys, who lost contact with Liberty who launched the mission. Not knowing of the monkeys position due to losing contact, Liberty quickly took action and continued to use Robots based on Planet Gammu, to complete the mission of scouting Unknown 2, only to find the Monkeys had colonised Planet Primus, The Robots being the smarter, wanted to keep close survailance on the ever increasing numbers of the Monkeys. Now learning to talk and learn at an increased rate the monkeys had formed a fleet of worthy foes for the wars ahead.
Three decades had past, and the Monkeys and Robots had learnt to co-exist. The Monkeys had begun mining for rare and valuable ores in the deep undergrounds of planet Primus and any metals they extract, they would sell to the Robots at a discounted price. One day while mining A feeble miner uncovered an Ancient Manuscript, unable to understand what was written, they gave it over to the Robots and would share any treasures, if any. The Robots were able to decipher the Manuscript, due to the Robots constantly updating and making them smarter, the Manuscript depicted a race far supreme than any other.........The Ancients.
The Ancients had lived spectacular lives, Planet Primus was home to countless Ancient scholars, warriors and fighter pilots from the centuries past. The Ancients, considered to be the far superior race of their time, would win battles with intelect, strength and agility, seizing any oppertunity to become victorious.
And then one day, they vanished, never to be seen or heard of again. All that remains of their identity and place in sirius sector, is the Manuscript the Monkeys and Robots now hold in their hands.
Mean while in Unknown 2.....
Sophie - "Alpha 2 to Alpha 1, come in Alpha 1"
Sophie - "Alpha 2 to Alpha 1, do you read me Over"
Dirk - "Alpha 2, Calm down, im here, i just had to track you down, don't stray out of formation, we're on a routine check of sector D2 Unknown 2 system, we have never been in that direction before, so eyes open Alpha 2."
Sophie - "Understood sir"
Dirk - "its bad enough dodging all these long rocks, without you losing your way, so stay focused."
Sophie - "Sir, im getting a reading on my long range scanner at 50km out, its big and there are multiple targets, its Nomads Sir, what should we do?"
Dirk - "probably a Nomad patrol party, lets join in the fun and make sure they don't make it back to the slave outpost"
Sophie - "Battle ready sir, engaging"
The Battle was a tough one for young Sophie, the young Monkey pilot was new and inexperienced, although she survived the battle with the Nomads and taking down a few ships, Dirk her commanding officer was not fortunate, and perished by a Nomad Valkerie N1 missile, He will recieve full honors for his bravery. But Sophie returning from the battle with her Anubis missing some parts and barely reaching 100m speed, time is of the essence.
Sophie - "i can make it, 200km out, im all alone, god its cold"
Unknown - "Who are you?"
Sophie - "what, is that"
Unknown - "Why are you here?"
Sophie becoming ever more increasingly anxious at the voice she is hearing.
Sophie - "I am Sophie, of the Monkeys from Planet Primus"
Unknown - "Primus? Ha, that was never your planet to begin with my dear, Are you the leader of your faction?"
Sophie - "No, i am just a fighter pilot"
Unknown - "a fighter are you, did you enjoy the Nomad party earlier? Even though they are Nomads, they are my pet and i make them do my bidding, you see its easier to get someone else to do it if you wish to remain Unknown, but i have to admit, they have become increasingly stronger than i anticipated, you give them wings and they fly, you give them legs and they walk, you give them Dyson Sphere system, and they multiply. First Nomad 1 system, they think that i would not notice. Now it is time for my siblings to rise and show the Nomads who we are, I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA OF THE ANCIENTS, THE NOMADS WILL KNEEL DOWN, BEFORE ME"
Ancient - "Go back to Primus Fighter, gather a fleet, war is coming."
Once on board the battleship, we were showed our sectors. Robin had come over to mine to discuss what we ought to do, talk about what the SAR was doing here.
"The thing I can't work out is how they got in. I mean, they can't come in their own ships, and they defiantly cannotcome in from nowhere." I said
The battleship food was worse that the stuff on the Hispania. I stared at the grey glob hanging off the end of my fork. It was meant to taste like organic meat from Malta, but after many years in storage, it ended up tasting like a cardamined pet. I checked the time. Not long till launch. I finished the food, somehow, and relaxed on the chair, waiting for Robin to arrive. When he did arrive, Brian was with him.
Two years ago the coalition Armed Forces were spotted around the Sirius sector. They drove the Alliance right down to the ground. It seemed like they were about to finally kill off there rival after 100s of years of fighting. But to both the Alliance and the Coalition were surprised when a mystical first one appeared from out of no-were.
The crippled sleeper ship Hispania arrived in Omicron Alpha almost 800 years ago. Its passengers named the planet Malta - a harsh place of acidic oceans, gray skies, and vast plains covered in a species of tall, thin, orange grass. They later learned that the grass could be rendered into a narcotic substance, that they called Cardamine.
hell mate, 1 year i stay in Omega 11 for diamond, 1 year i'm exposed to radiation, 1 year i think about real fresh pinacolada from Hawaii in Sigma-19, 1 year i try to repair my ship (booster and cruise has dead, i must replace it).
