"All hands on deck! Rogue fleet is engaging!" The voice of the captain echoing through the bowels of the ship. It was a fine one at that, a genesis cruiser with a set of HEX missiles. But it wasn't made for heavy combat as it was mainly used for transporting resources. All the ships were and only had minor shielding and armor, they were bound to be slaughtered. But regardless, in this time and age they would go down with a fight.

"They are almost within range sir! One cruiser and the other a battleship!" The spotter shouted. It was a tense moment, the once cool and stale air of the ship suddenly became humid and tense. Then, the missiles shot. More of them fired into the other cruiser, destroying the shield but the other cruiser was faster and got out of range. This time a destroyer came about and began firing shots, but since the cruiser was faster it was able to dodge them. The fleets other ships hadn't been holding up so well and were either destroyed or crippled. Although they did take out two of the five ships, crippling another.

"Charge them." The captain has said so plainly.
"But sir, they'll decimate us." The officer said. The captain continued staring forward.
"Then get everyone to the escape pods and get out of here. " the captain told the officer.
"What about you sir?" The officer asked.
"I'm staying." He once again said so plainly.The officer swallowed and saluted him, all color leaving his face. He began to evacuate the ship when the young officer turned back.
"Good luck sir." The officer said.
"You as well Dorian, you served me well, I know it isn't much but when you get back to base there is a frigate that I'd like you to commandeer, good luck." The captain told Dorian as he pressed the controls to begin the attack. Dorian raced through the small and narrow halls and eventually made it to the escape pods. There was one more and it had room for six. The problem was that there was fifteen. Dorian pushed forward to find a seat but a hand from a crewmen stopped him.
"What do you think you're doing?" He angrily asked.
"Finding a seat." Dorian replied.
"Why should you and not me?" He asked.
"Because I am not only a higher rank but because I'm worth something out there." Dorian said cold heartedly as he pushed the mans hand away.
"If anyone else would like to join please do." Dorian said aloud. With that people began to cram into the small pod, squeezing Dorian against the controls. After about what seemed forever, an explosion rocked the room. The enemy fleet begun to attack and they would destroy the ship any second. Dorian pulled the lever to close the door, sealing off the other side. But it would seem all fourteen people including dorian managed to fit into the pod. As the pod launched, he couldn't help but think about the ship he was just given. It was his chance to be a captain, with that he watched as his beloved ship that he served on explode. Now he would wait as they would wait for help to come, he clicked the emergency beacon as soon as the rogue fleet left. Dorian would have to stay crammed and wait for help now, depending on when and who rescued them.

    "They are almost within range sir! Two VEGA Security class Eagle Frigates!" The spotter shouted. It was a tense moment, the once cool and stale air of the ship suddenly became humid and tense.

    When suddently , the Eagles open fire from beyond the maximum range of the Fleet's HEX missiles , before long the crew realized the Eagles was firing Vector missiles to their tightly packed fleet , they tried to seperate but it was too late. one explosion stripped the shield of 4 ships and another salvo crippled half of the fleet. "They must have AM Warheads on those things ! "  When suddently ...

    A NET Torpedo hits their ships , engines failing , and systems malfunctioning , 1 more salvo and the entire fleet is decimated


    HAHAHAHAHAHAA




    Aliens are a plague, and we are the cure

    Who remembers these old days?

    INCOMING FLEET!
    From that base we've been trying to hit for the last hour.
    But it's only half the level of ours...

    ...Not more harrier spam? Surely?
    Yep, more harrier spam.
    You know the drill by now.
    *pew pew!*
    Harrier spam destroyed.

    My VC story: 
    Vega Conflict-er since closed beta phase 1, back when torpedo harriers ruled the sector.
    BP- started in the black sea days, then the game died...
    WC- started pre-World Map, then everything went downhill.
