A War for the Stars

Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2405.0 (later):

Following our victories in Aram, I have approved Captain Veren's promotion to Line Captain. He will retain command of Seeker I in addition to commanding the Fleet. Wing Commander Grann has been promoted to Group Captain and will command the First Carrier Group, currently aboard Black Saber I and the three Black Sword carriers; he will choose his replacement from among his squadron leaders.

Official events celebrating our victories have been organized on all Imperial systems. As a part of the festivities, our sector has been officially named the Virgillia Sector, with the capital here at Virgillia Prime (formerly Virgillia V).

Officially with regards to ourselves, at any rate. A request for Sector status must ordinarily be submitted to Coruscant, where it is approved or denied. But we cannot wait for news from the Empire; we need to organize ourselves as a Sector now if we expect to survive, let alone rule all the systems inside the barrier.

I hope the Emperor finds our actions worthy. All we do here is in his name.

Erax this story is fantastic. I love reading it. God how I have longed for a good Star Wars story. I used to play Rebellion with PCP, and this story reminds me of those days. I always smoked his Rebellion and conqured the galaxy.

Thanks for the praise, guys. It looks like I won't be able to get today's chapter in, but I'll try to make up for it with a double helping tomorrow (will be home for most of the day).

The best thing about these game-report stories is that not even I know exactly what's going to happen, so I can get involved in the story along with the readers !!

Your Last two additions were perfect as always Erax. I've noticed that you seem not to rule with fear and oppression though, it adds an interesting twist to the story.

I just finished reading shadows of the empire again and i must say it's a good book, i've read most of the star wars novels now that i can find and i must say Shadows Of the Empire is definitely one of the best

I left my game notes at work today, so no update until tomorrow. I can't even advance the game without my notes.

I guess I'll go bug Andres about the crossover mod.

Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2405.1:

Nova IX has reached Klozar VI, our future system capital. Our colonists have already begun work on the system's port and trade facilities; there are sizable metal stockpiles from the mines on Klozar VII waiting for ships to deliver them to our factories on Syned. Meanwhile, starport construction is eroding our dwindling metal stockpiles.

Nova X has been launched from Virgillia Prime. She will resupply in the Gandle Ott system, then proceed to Aram II, a radioactive-rich, partially colonizable world.

Sixty million colonists have boarded Fyrine IV. They will be taken to Berlin III, where they will be re-assigned to locally built colonizers.

Black Sword III has joined Line Captain Veren's Fleet. Like her sister ships, she will have her laser cannon upgraded to the new model while the other ships recover and refuel their fighters.

Commodore Haase has produced an intel report which points to a Yakrin presence in an unexplored system adjacent to Aram. I will order the Fleet to investigate the hyperconduit to that system as soon as their new lasers are installed.

Another nice update, it seems that the Imperials are getting set to unleash the dogs of war and i look forward to it! I'm curious to know if the rebel alliance is in this game, but i half don't want you to answer so i get a suprise when first contact comes if they are
