Backstory of the AIE and UDSC( with some backstory of a meeting between the AIE, UDSC and my friend Jarhead/Jared's faction the TDF): The United Defense Space Command was founded in 2420 after they defended their home planet from pirates. The UDSC is tasked with protecting their colonies in the surrounding systems of their home system of Delta-436. The United Defense Space Command is the main naval body of the Aezairis Interplanetary Empire. At the beginning of the Aezairis Interplanetary Empire, they control 14 different systems surrounding their home system. 8 of these 14 systems are completely mapped, the other 6 were partially mapped around the areas where small colonies were located in these systems, so pirates attacked from these unmapped sectors of these systems where their bases were most likely located. The AIE didn't do much about the pirates for years until they started to become bolder and hit multiple cargo ships heading to the colonies in these systems. As these attacks became more and more frequent the AIE decided to send the UDSC in to help defend the cargo ships and hunt down the pirates hiding out in these systems. At this time the UDSC didn't have very many large ships, so battling pirates was risking sometimes. Most battles ended in draws or loses because either the fleets were matched in power or the pirates out numbered the UDSC fleets. After so many defeats the AIE expanded the budget for the UDSC, so they could build larger ships. The fight againest the pirates in orbit of the AIE home planet of Ashigara in system Delta-436 was what propelled the UDSC to where it is today. The UDSC had 150 ships, 6 defense stations and 4 sensor stations in orbit when the pirates fleet jumped in, they had 200 ships when they jumped in. The battle in a victory for the UDSC, but at the cost of 75 ships, 3 defense stations and all sensor stations. This is how the UDSC got its start.
About 120 years later, the AIE and UDSC hear rumors of a battle that took place in the Kepler-62 system between pirates and a group calling themselves the Terran Defense Force. The AIE and UDSC start having talks about how to contact this group and to ask them if they need any help with rebuilding. These talks go on for about 9 years before they decide that they need to make contact. For the year they start assembling a fleet to send to Kepler-62, but before they could they got reports of an unknown fleet attacking the Tango-709 system. The AIE decide to postpone contacting the group they found and focused their attention on this new threat. The report they had gotten from Tango said that the enemy fleet had anywhere from 200- 250 ships in it and they had wiped out the small fleet of 150 frigates like they were nothing. The UDSC sent in a single fleet consisting of 2 Conquistador capital ships, 4 Avalon battleships, 6 Supernova battlecruisers, 2 Arcturus carriers, 1 Leviathan Supercarrier, 16 standard gunships on the carriers, another 150 gunships following close behind, 2 Binary Sunset missile destroyers, 4 Solaris medium range support ships, 4 Wolf Run missile boats, 60 Maleficent light frigates, 40 Intrepid medium frigates, 20 Pantheon heavy frigates and 1 Nova flagship. This is the largest fleet ever assembled in the history of the UDSC and AIE. The fleet was 312 ships strong. As they entered the system, they could see the wrecks of hundreds of ships floating through space. Most of them were UDSC hulls, and there were a few hulls of a red metal that could not be identified. As the fleet moves further into the system they come under attack by the same force that had attacked the sector. As the 2 forces fought each other it became clear that this battle was going to be a costly one for both sides. The enemy fleet had 240 ships, some were already damaged, most likely from when they first attacked. During the fight UDSC detected 10 ships jump in on long range sensor but didn't investigate because of the battle. The fight took nearly 3 days to near an end, but as it did the unknown enemy retreated. They had suffered heavy losses, they lost 70%. The UDSC strike force had lost 60% of its fleet and another 10% was heavily damaged, only 30% remained in operational status. The AIE got the reports from the strike force and order the UDSC to start producing more ships and to start patrolling the systems around Tango-709. The reports read that this unknown enemy was from the Adeex Star Empire and had weapons as powerful as the ones in use by the UDSC, some more so than others. The remaining ships that could still move went to the where the unknown ships had jumped in during the battle and didn't find anything. The year this war started is 2550 and no one knows how long it will last. Over the course of 3 months, there were small skirmishes and only 2 other major battles in the systems of Tango-709, Genesis-834, and Bravo-526. The 2 major battles were fought between with fleet sizes ranging in the 300 for both sides. The second battle took place in Bravo-526 and lasted almost 2 weeks to end with the Adeex fleet being completely destroyed and the UDSC fleet having 100 ships left. The last of these battles took place in Genesis-834 and was a month long battle. The fleet sizes for both sides was 400 ships. This battle was system wide leaving floating wrecks of hull floating. As it neared its end the remaining 100 Adeex ships jumped out. For the UDSC this was one of the most costly victories by far, they had lost 250 ships, 100 were so damaged they weren't sure they'd be repaired, and only 50 ships had emerged unscathed. This war with the Adeex had been the most costly war ever. The UDSC had lost over 668 ships in this war.
As the UDSC is rebuilding their fleets, they get a report from a station in system Kappa-951 that 13 ships just jumped in asking to talk with the leaders. The report said the small fleet consisted of 2 cargo ships, 4 small ships, 5 fighters, a destroyer and what appeared to be an advanced destroyer. The UDSC sends a fleet of 34 ships, 4 of which are flagships with the leadership of the UDSC and AIE on broad. This fleet also had 4 avalon class battleships, 2 Supernova battlecruisers and 20 Pantheon heavy frigates. They learned from the report that this is the group call the Terran Defense Force. As the te fleet arrives in the system they see the small fleet of TDF vessels by the station that sent the report. Here is the diaolog between the 2 groups:
UDSC and AIE leadership, "This is V'zevog, Head Admiral and my three subordinates, Venal, the Vice Admiral, Tauveer and Necal, my rear admirals. We are the Leaders of the UDSC. Here are our rulers. I am Emperor Ehonifflen Aezairis and my Empress Sossios Aezairis. And who are you and why did you come here?"

TDF reply, “This is James, E, Hendricks Admiral of the Alpha wing the best ranking wing in the Terran Defence Force, and I'm speaking on behalf of the head of the TDF Davidson, F, Derricks and the president of the Terran Republic Marlin, A, Dorothy, who are both in the fleet as we speak, we were attacked by the same unknown race that attacked your system and we were hoping to make an alliance, we also brought 2 cargo ships loaded with raw minerals as a peace offering.”
UDSC reply, "How do we know we can trust you? You jumped here without warning and demanded to speak with our leadership." AIE leadership cuts in, " Head admiral restrain yourself. Forgive us for being suspicious. We are never like this when we first contact new races, but after what happened with the Adeex, we are skeptical about meetings with races now."
TDF reply, “Hold on you know their names? That must mean you know what they want!” president Marlin, A, Dorothy interrupts “Slow down Hendricks your starting to get ahead of yourself, sorry about that just a few days ago we were attacked by a small group of unknown ships that matched the ones that attacked you, we were hoping that we could have a peaceful friendship with one another as seeing that we are still trying to rebuild the Grand Nave of the Terran Republic after a large war against a pirate lord.”
UDSC reply, "So you've been attacked by them too. All they said in their transmission to our first contact fleet was something about wanting our planets and resources. Their languge is very hard to translate." AIE leadership," We would very much like to have an alliance with you, but this is a matter all Aezairians must agree upon. That includes the UDSC leaders, and at the moment they seem to be skeptical of you right now." UDSC reply," Do you have anything to offer us in return if we form this alliance?"
Head of TDF replies, “We have..... we had many well-trained pilots who were aces but we only now have a few, but we are training new recruits every day to be better pilots in smaller crafts and as seeing those debris fields and by these ships in front of us we are guessing you like bigger ships so for building techniques in building and even training we would like to have an alliance” Marlin, A, Dorothy adds in ”of course we didn’t bring these cargo ships for nothing they are both filled to the brim with minerals as that we didn’t know exactly what else to bring” James, E, Hendricks buds in ”We would also like open borders for all movement so everything from a standard civilian shuttle to the largest of flag ships” both Marlin, A, Dorothy and Davidson, F, Derricks quickly interrupts “of course we would notify you days ahead and ask for permission.”
UDSC replies, "That could work. We don't have any here with us, but we have some very out dated small craft being used by our carriers. And our smallest warships are these frigates we brought with us." AIE leadership replies, "It seems that Head Admiral V'zevog is in agreement and we should assume so are his subordinates. We will bring this back to our people and tell them. Hopfully we can have a prosperous alliance."
Marlin, A, Dorothy replies, “Thank you and we shell do the same, and may this be the beginning of a forever lasting friendship, good bye.” With that we dropped off the cargo and set a jump point back to Kepler-62 to give news of the trade and hope that they agree to the deal.
UDSC station breaks in," Admiral, we just detected a ship jumping in from the direction of Adeex space. It doesn't seem to be a ship we've seen them use before. It's launching drones, sir. The cannons can't hit them. Send he...." The single transmission goes silent. UDSC Admiral V'zevog says, "Sorry to cut this short, but this a matter we must attend to. Emperor and Emperess please retreat back with the frigates. Vice admiral call the rest of the fleet in and tell them to ready."
AIE leadership says to TDF Leaders," We hate to ask this of you but could you help us with this little problem." As they wait for a reply, the reinforcements Admiral V'zevog called in arrived. He had called in 4 more Avalon battleships, 2 Supernova battlecruisers, 1 Leviathan supercarrier, 4 Binary Sunset missile destroyers and another 40 Pantheon heavy frigates. So they had a force of 85 ships.
Davidson, F, Derricks replies “Of course, James! Call the boys in and fallow however it is u need to, I’ll take the president back to safe space with the rest of the fleet.” James replies “Yes sir!” Marlin, A, Dorothy add “and James please don’t screw this up.” James replies “don’t you worry about that I’ve been waiting to get revenge on these bastard’s after they killed Mark and Jessica.”
UDSC communication officer,"Sir, we are getting a transmisson from the enemy ship on all channels." Admiral V'zevog,"Put it through." Unknown ship transmission,""It's... g jejskig for you puny beings to rhbtjfi..... FI-static." A shot flies past the UDSC fleet. Two minutes later. UDSC communication officer,"Another transmission, sir." Admiral V'zevog,"Let's hear it." Unknown transmission,"That was a kdapbf.... next time lvci will ncorrupted miss." UDSC Admiral V'zevog to TDF Admiral James,"I know we asked you for help, but we would like to stay behind us. That ship doesn't seem like any Adeex ship we have fought before. And not to sound mean but I think our ships can take more of a beating than yours."
Admiral James replies “Oh please, you think we came here just with a few ships? No I got friends waiting and we are the elite wing. Anyways I'll call them over and this should only take a few.”." As they were waiting they saw more TDF ships jump in.
Once they jumped in and grouped up James grabbed a small jumper shuttle so that he could command the battle from his flagship named Nomad, once he got all set up he contacted Admiral V'zevog, “We are ready when you are.”
Admiral V'zevog replies, “Let’s begin then."
Admiral James: “Prepare the Jump drive, and as soon as we jump in I want a scan of what we are going up against do you understand?”
Crew: “Yes Sir!”
Admiral James: “Good what percent are we at?”
Second officer “We just hit 67%.”
Admiral James: “Good, open comms with Admiral V'zevog.”
Crew: “Comms are up.”
Admiral James: “Admiral V'zevog what percent are you at?”
Admiral V'zevog replied, “We just hit 89%.”
Admiral James: “Good, just jump when we jump.”
Admiral V'zevog “Understood.”
Second officer: “Sir we just hit 100% shall we engage?”
Admiral James “Engage!”
As they jumped in, all they could see was a ship of unknown origin.
Admiral James to Admiral V'zevog: “Is this even close to what a Adeex ship looks like?”
Admiral V'zevog to Admiral James, “That is a negative James, we never saw this ship till now and the Adeex never used drones against us during our war."
Admiral Wellston, D, Kingston to Admiral James: “Sir...... our sensors have picked up the ship but we are reading only a few life signals for the size of the ship, and its spawning hundreds of drones...... what is it?”
Admiral James to Admiral V’zevog “You seeing that...... thing?"
Admiral V'zevog to Admiral James,"Yes, yes I am. I'm trying to work how best to hit this thing."
TDF Crew: “Sir! We are picking up multiple ships spawning from the main ship."
Admiral V'zevog to Admiral James,"James have your fleet try to distract the drones and mine will head for the main ship."
Admiral James to Admiral V'zevog, “Ummmm...... sure, but there’s just so many.”
As Admiral V'zevog ended the transmission he ordered his fleet to head for the unknown enemy vessel. As the UDSC fleet moved toward the enmy vessel. As the fleet neared the enemy it used a weapon that destroyed 40 heavy frigates instantly and heavily damaged another 12 ships. That didn't deter the UDSC from their objective of destroying this enemy for this was one of their most important systems, they couldn't afford to lose this fight. After a long fight the UDSC fleet hit one of the main reactors destroying the ship completely. The UDSC had lost all frigates, 2 battleships, 1 battlecruiser, 1 missile destroyer and half the gunships the supercarrier had brought. The fleet used a camera that was on a battleship to see how the TDF fleet had faired in their battle with the drones and it didnt look good.
With the battle ended Admiral V'zevog contacted Admiral James. Admiral V'zevog to Admiral James, "Thank you for the help. Hope to fight with you again. We'll see you to the edge of the system." Admiral James to Admiral V’zevog “Yea no problem, we did lose many fighters and a few of our warships are critically damaged so it might be a while till we can get to you but we will try.” Admiral James to Admiral V’zevog “An entire station!? Um yea that would be amazing.” Admiral V'zevog to Admiral James," It should be here within the hour." And within the hour the station arrived and starting working on the TDF ships that needed repairing and when it finished the TDF Leadership and AIE leadership said their farewells and hopes about working together in the future and went on their ways back to their homeworlds.
