Had to get in on this one...

From chill space above
floods brimming plasma downward.
A colony dies.

They're not so loyal,
your brave space-faring pilots.
Crew insurrection.

Your coloniser
for my worthless two escorts.
Unequal exchange?

Now scrap metal are
your fierce shield generators.
Phased polaron Beam.

TCP/IP
is awaited by many
but I play by mail.

Suicide Junkie
with eye patch and parrot made
Pirates and Nomads.

With ewok-like tricks,
a meek primitive species
defends 'gainst your troops.

A thousand warships
miss your cloaked star destroyer.
You sneaky bastard.

I can't understand
your political logic
my murderous friend.

I don't write Haiku
Writing is too hard for me
The public is spared

The infinite void,
is but a very small sqaure:
Tactical combat.

I'm on a roll...

Treacherous ally,
fall before my fleets of death.
We welcome your doom.

Eyes like ping pong balls,
yellow CO2 breathers:
Who else but the Phong?

Though you fought bravely,
my victory is assured.
Surrender or perish.

High AI bonus:
A moron with a big stick
is still a moron.

(That Last one is a nicked from someone else's post a few months back)

An icy wind sweeps forth.
Grains of sand shift so quickly --
Billions are lost.


The heat of battle:
For victors, eternal spring;
The rest melt away.


Young wyrms all look small,
But one will eat the heavens.
Spring: the eggs hatch now.

Enemy fleet comes
In space all screams are silent
Death anticipates

A lone defender,
Warfleets closing in quickly,
Shields don't fail me now.

Agent Zero wants
some apocalyptic quotes
so I bumped the thread.

Trying to be nice.
Subtle threats of banishment.
Life is difficult.
