Wars of Power

Ok this is my first fan fic so any comments and suggestions are welcome. I will post the basic idea and see what you think.

The Corsairs, Outcasts, and Red Hessians, teaming up in an unexpected move, have made a new, powerful alliance called the Hispanic Alliance. They have taken over the Omicrons, Omegas, Taus, and even the Dresden system in Rhineland. The houses are trying to stop this menace, but their new alliance seems capible of taking on the 4 houses. Will the Houses be able to stop this new menace or will the pirates overtake them an become the owners of all of Sirius?

The main character is Matthew Dakkar, a commander in the Corsair armada. He and his squadron of 5 VHF Wings, Hellblade Squadron, are a well-known force in the Corsairs armada. They are mainly sent out to fight House forces in Dresden and the Omegas, but they do some missions in the Sigmas, the next systems the Hispanic Alliance hope to claim. However, with the rumors of House battleships in the Tau systems, they may have some new-------and possibly extremely dangerous-------missions.

Ok, so tell me what you think.

You ripped bits of this off of the CYOF rpgs, didn't you? Specificly, the hessian/outcast/corsair involvement and the name of the group, the Hispanic Allaince, which was the Corsairs/Outcasts in the first CYOF game.

Rich, he's just writing a fanfic. No need to take out all your anger about CYOF on him.

No I actually didn't, Rich. Corsairs, Outcasts, and Red Hessains are the most powerful criminal factions and are not too far away from each other so they put aside all their hostilities with each other to go for a common goal---destroying the 4 Houses. And the name Hispanic Alliance I came up with because 2 of the 3 factions are from Hispania. Also, I was never in CYOF 1.0 and I never read it either.

Thanks guys, I will start writing the first chapter .

Ok here we go, Chapter 1!

Chapter 1: A New Mission

Twelve Hammerheads close in one one lone Titan, all the Hammerheads experianced Bounty Hunters armed with the most dangerous weapons the Bounty Hunters can offer. Once in range, the Bounty Hunters begin firing one the lone Titan, one deadly bolt after another rocketing through space. The Titan speeds away, activating the afterburners and doging most of the fire. Then it fires into the grop of Bounty Hunters, the Salamanca Mk II and Tizona del Cid blasts firing with deadly accurency, taking out two Hammerheads easily. Five minutes later, it was all over. The lone Titan limped back to Crete, extremely damaged, but still alive after taking on three wings of Hammerheads and destroying them all. This pilots name: Matthew Dakkar.

Matthew remembers it perfectly, he had thought he was dead hundreds of time during that battle. When he returned to Crete, he was aworded with 20,000 credits and his own squadron, Hellblade. It was his greatest achievement. He and his squadron became well-known throughout the Corsiars, and are some of the most famous fighters in all of the Corsair armada. Matthew was also one of the first to suggest an alliance with the Corsair's long-time enemies, the Outcasts and Red Hessians, which lead to the creation of the Hispanic Alliance.

Currently, he is at his squadron's headquarters on Crete, relaxing after his last mission against the Houses in the Omegas. He was resting in his room when suddenly his best friend and second in command of Hellblade squadron, Mark Jakks, woke him up, startling him.

"Matt, we got a mission on the screen downstairs. Get down here!" Mark said.

"Be right there! Tell them to hold on!" Matthew yelled.

Matthew quickly ran downstairs, and dashed to the mission room. On the screen there was an Elder of Crete, looking very solemn, as usual. Matthew sat down and turned to him.

"So I hear you have a mission for us? What is it?" Matthew said.

"We have heard reports of increased House activity in the Tau-31 system. There are even reports of a battleship being built in a secret Bretonian capital shipyard there. We must investigate. If you find the capital shipyard, do not attack it or any forces in the area. Fly back here so we can send a bigger fleet to take it out. I know you are not familiar with the Taus, so you will meet up with an Outcast Sabre wing on Malta to guide you. is this acceptable?" the Elder said.

"It is. We will accept. When do we leave?" Matthew asked.

"As soon as possible. If there is a battleship being built, it needs to be destroyed. We cannot afford capital ships being built in our systems." said the Elder.

"I see. Thank you Elder." Matthew said and shut off the screen. Then he turned to his sqaudron. "Everyone get ready, we're going to Tau-31!"

So, what do you think? Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Minor nitpick: rewrite the last part to read "... woke him up, startling him."

Other than that, looks good!

Ok Chapter 2!

Chapter 2: A New Encounter

Hellblade Squadron launched off of Crete, ready to go on their newset mission. They flew through Omicron Gamma and Theta with no problems, then arrived in Omicron Alpha, the home of the Outcasts. They set a path to Planet Malta to meet their guides through the Taus. Halfway through, some strange ships appeared on their radar.

"What kind of ships are those Captain?" said one of Hellblade's newer members, Derrek Smith.

"I'm not sure Derrek, they look very strange. Scans are strange too, the ships seem like their alive or something." Matthew said.

"Oh no. Living ships, strange scans, in Omicron Alpha.." said one of their veteren members, Reed Grant, "they must be Nomads!"

"Nomads! All members, power up weapons! This could get rough!" Matthew said.

The Nomads closed in on the Corsairs, 5 of their new improved fighters. They were just about in firing range when from the cloud 5 full Outcast Sabre wings appeared and began firing deadly rounds of their Kraken Type 2's at the Nomads. The leader of the Outcast squadron sent a message to Hellblade:

"We have been expecting you. This is Bloodsword squadron, we have been sent to assist you on your way to Malta. Give us a hand with these Nomads!" he said.

"Thanks for the assistist, Bloodsword." Matthew said. Then he switched to his squadron's secure channel and said: "Hellblade Squadron, engage the Nomads! We have Outcast Bloodsword Squadron helping us. Repeat, engage all Nomads!"

The battle lasted about 10 minutes. The Nomad improved fighters were extremely powerful and very heavily armored, but still increadibly quick. In their suprise attack, Bloodsword had destoryed 1 of them right off the bat. Then a bloody battle began. The Nomads spread out, shooting deadly accurate blasts of their cannons at the Outcasts and Corsairs. The Outcasts responed with their own attacks, using their higher numbers to surround the Nomads. In the end the Hispanic forces won, but each squadron hade lost 1 full wing of fighters.

"That's the last of them. Lets get going to Malta." Matthew said to the Bloodsword Leader.

"Good idea. Your squadron should enter formation with ours and we will guide the way and avoid any heavy Nomad areas. Lets go." the Outcast said.

The way to Malta was uneventful, a wing of Nomads appeared but they were only in original Nomad fighters and were quickly destoryed by the two squadrons. Finally they made it to Malta and docked.

"Thank you fo the assist out there Bloodsword, we may have a lost a lot more ships if you didn't arrive." Matthew said.

"No problem. By the way, you are the Corsairs sent to investigate the rumors of House battleships in Tau-31, correct?" the Outcast said.

"We are."

"Then repair your ships, we must get going. I am Seth Ittok, and me and my wing will guide you through the Taus."

"Good. Hellblade, lets get repaired and ready to launch. We're heading to the Taus!"

So, how was this one? As usaul, any comments and suggestions are welcome.
