Chapter 1 - Hiigara
Fleet Intelligence Personal Log It is said that dreams are worth dying for. When two dreams collide, the bloodshed can be immense. Three times the Taiidan Imperialists have invaded, twice reaching Hiigara. This is the fourth time, including the first battle ...
Chapter 2 - The Bushan-Re
Fleet Intelligence Personal Log I remember the punchline of an old joke: With ki'ithmates like these, who needs enemies. While Idon't remember the joke itself, it still holds true. Kiith Manaan asked for our assistance on a search and rescue mission. The l...
Chapter 3 - The Coruc-Tel System
Fleet Intelligence Personal Log It is said that the more things change, the more things stay the same. With the Turanic Raiders and the Imperial Taiidan, this is definitely the truth. Immediately upon arriving at the Coruc-Tel system, we realized something w...
Chapter 1 - The Priestess
Once again, since the days of the plague known as the Beast, the stars were aflame in battle. "They are on the retreat, they are on the retreat!" Caught in a crisscross of ion beams, what was once a Beast Ion Array frigate was now an exploding ball of gas wit...
Chapter 2 - The Holocaust
More than 3000 years ago... "Get those people in here, quickly!" Lt. Commander N'ua Helan shouted, as she grabbed a child fallen to her knees. They can't do this, N'ua thought, oh gods of mercy, why are they doing this? Have they not enough of our blood? Sinc...
Chapter 3 - The Pirate
The Bandit rolled as it turned to avoid an asteroid. Then it rejoined its comrades in a delta formation. It was the end of their patrol, and they headed back to their home carrier, an imposing and threatening design, known as a Lord class ship. Zha Khor had a...
Chapter 4 - The Starfarer
Zha felt cold and alone, huddled in the small cockpit of the Swarmer. She wondered if her impulsiveness would cost her big this time. She always acted courageous and cool for people in the outside, but inside, the sheer fear of death gripped her spine. There w...
Chapter 5 - The Mule
The decks were littered with sparks as every able body tries to< repair the extensive damage on the carrier. Zha was happy she got Seejuk's competent team of Kiith Liirhra engineers working on the Mule, even if they were Kushans. She paced all over the carrier...
Chapter 6 - Engagement
As a child she was frail, but unusual to look at. She had a metallic silvery blonde hair with cold steel eyes to match. For that other children were afraid of her, called her a freak. She never played with them either. Inside the great Arkships of Kadesh, G'y...
Chapter 7 - The Proposal
"What?..." Zha's face was livd and turning red. She started to prance around the bridge deck, hunting for an explanation. "Are you?...are you, a spy?..." Zha started to stutter with rage. "To be exact to the term, no. Sooner or later, I did intend to tell yo...
Chapter 8 - Black Star
Lt. Commander Seejuk Liirhra sat on the stool at the bar. Nothing matches the good old ale brewed from the deserts in Kharak. He rammed the drink down to his throat. Ahhh.. Kiith Manaani had been looking in all over Hiigara for a desert to match the exact cond...
Chapter 9 - The Tiamat
As the carrier left orbit around the base, Zha and Seejuk were busy with the tedious details of logging the inventory. Rows and rows of spanking "new" fighters and corvettes---mostly reconditioned surplus---have brought the Mule's strike force complement to fu...
Chapter 10 - The Wheel of Fate
Zha was staring at her personal monitor. She smiled at the farewell messages the refugee children gave her as she left them in the Allied Base. The Black Star and the Sirak had made arrangements to transport them back to the nearest Raider Outpost. "Captain, ...
Chapter 11 - The Revelation
All around her, there was darkness. The floor was hard and cold. Fear gripped G'yela's young heart, and she prayed and bowed repeatedly with her head down. She did not know where she was, and all around her she could hear voices. Some voices were deep, other w...
Chapter 12 - Siren's Song
Zha watched as the cloak and the mimic reconnaissance fighters left the Mule, heading toward the Kadeshi fleet. A strong passion burned in her to join them, to share the danger and discover the unknown, but her duty in the ship has prevented her from that, but...
Chapter 13 - The Cannon
"All battle stations!" Zha ordered. "All recon fighters regroup to the Mule at once! Maintain cloaked running for all fighters. Do no engage unless ordered." Everyone was focused on the screens. The Allied forces were intent in getting even, and they have sen...
Chapter 14 - The Pool of Dreams
The battle raged for hours, but it had degenerated into dogfights with strike forces. Large ship capital forces in both sides were heavily damaged, and avoided another toe to toe fight. Then the Kadeshi battlegroup faded out of the battle and hyperspaced. It w...
Chapter 15 - The Sin of the Father
The battered Mule and her task force hyperspaced shortly outside an Allied base. A Kushan task force awaited them, perhaps in caution and hostility at the presence of a Lord class carrier with a task force of feared Ion Array Frigates and captured Kadeshi Mult...
Chapter 16 - The Four Warriors
Zha and G'yela woke up in the Pool of Dreams, the Handmaidens supporting their bodies so they will not sink or drown. They were given robes, and Zha was led to a special room. She was not allowed to leave it, but it wasn't a dirty prisoner's cell either. "Ple...
Chapter 17 - The Purification
The Multibeam Frigate materialized from hyperspace. The Bentusi had told him earlier to go to the Karos Graveyards. It made sense for Seejuk. Connect the points of Kadeshi encounter in a star map and it seems headed for the Graveyards. But what would they be d...
