Twilight Of Peace

[Virus]

DarkStar glared at the offending screen. News was trickling in, and he didn't like it.
"If those AW fools continue to interfere, then the whole plan will be ruined. Ruined! And that is unnacceptable!"

With that he turned to a comm screen and opened a secure transmission. This was based on an entire new language, and then encoded. Nobody could crack it, and they woud have been hard-pressed to even find it. The massage went out to all the Phantom ships.

"Sir we have an incoming from DarkStar himself." This gave Arouk a chance to push Virus down into submission just enough to be able to talk properly. Well... almost...
"Patch it through."

DarkStar: "Our plans are in jepordy. If the AW continue to attack the Rhinland forces, then the plan is lost. Fly to the Gamma Unknown. Engage the AW. Our hatred for them overtakes our hatred for the Houses. The AW, must DIE! Slaughter them to the last man! Leave none alive!"

Virus could hear the transmission. He knew that Arouk knew more about the ship he was on than he did. He let go a bit from existance. Well.... At least it gives Rheinland a fighting chance.

"Alert all ships. We're engaging in mass force." Imediately a Battlestar Advanced decloaked and lumbered forward slowly being followed by a huge number of random ships. Nomad battleships, Nomad gunboats, Rheinland gunboats, cruisers, Liberty Cruisers even. Every ship you could possibly imagine was decloaking. A good five battleships including Virus'. Forty to fifty Cruisers. Uncountable numbers of gunboats and fighters.

"Open a channel. Rheinlanders, we have a greater hatred for the AW than we do for you. We would much rather see the house come out of this battle. All phantom ships! Decloak and engage the AW scum! Kill without mercy! Take no prisoners!" With a movement he signaled the officer to cut the channel.

The fighters flew in wings of five. They flew as though they were connected to each others minds. One would cover the others mistakes imediately leaving every fighter that decided to take on one of these packs decimated. Gunboats hung back as battleship defense while the Nomad Battleships fired Inferno turrets again and again into whatever capship came into range. Shortly after the shields dropped a Three bomber/two fighter wing would decloak and vaporize as much of the ship as possible in one run then disappear off tracking. Phantom gunboats cruisers and fighters flew protection for Krieg's battleship while Virus' Battlestar lumbered ever closer.

The only AW ship that wasn't taking damage, other than to its turrets was the AW Flagship with the Black Legion on-board.
