Chieftain 57

The bardic fleet has stopped bombing our world, for the moment, the current Lich believes they have ran out of supplies. The past year and a half have an extensive history which I will try to summarize.

Chieftain 53 led the anti-crusade fleet on several successful battles. The war magi were completely destroyed. Cleric and Paladin fleets were annihilated. And the cleric homeworld was crippled and plagued. After all of these successes, a fleet of Bardic ships warped in to our home system, and destroyed our defensive fleet and most of our population.

Then Chieftain 53 tried to send the Anti-Crusade fleet to stop the bards. But the Paladins had finally built a fleet of ships that could stop that Chieftains fleet. The Anti-Crusade fleet was destroyed taking that chieftain with it. The extensive bombardment of our planet resulted in the quick deaths of Chieftains 54, 55 and 56.

The thieves are the only respite remaining for us, if they can build up a fleet we have a chance, though slim. Things were working so well when we swept through the Crusade alliance space, but now regardless of the cost to them, the Crusader alliance will prevail, with the help of the Bards.

All that will be left of the alliances is the Paladins and Tyvalger, the thieves. The Clerics will likely perish from the plague.
