The TDF Shipyard: Very common sight in core systems acts as the heart of the TDF but is nearly impossible to get to as a pirate.
And the backstory
The Terran Defence Force is both a Government and a privately funded group of mercenaries. Originally the main navel bodies of the colonies that split apart from the UNE (United Nations of Earth)back in 2512. They were made during the first few centuries to keep pirates and there bandits a bay until the Colonies were fully set up and could all start producing an updated nave. After the great battle of Kepler-62 (the home system of the Terrans) back in 2540 a large between a major pirate force and the Terran Republic the citizens voted to keep the current nave as a defence fleet and make a larger fleet designed for larger battles, after a few years the old nave became obsolete as that the main nave was over all superior, so the men and women of the old nave decided to become mercenaries and update their fleets, at first the government of the Terran Republic was worried that they folded into piracy but it wasn’t until his own private ship was attacked by pirates and a small wing from the old nave found his distress call and jumped in to save him. Nobody was exactly sure why he was on his own and it wasn’t until 10 years later that they reviled what happened, tried to send him in a prototype civilian shuttle with a clocking device but during one of the jumps he flew right into a solar flare and disabled most of his ship of course that included his clocking device. After that the government decided to start funding them to help improve their nave as long as they only attacked pirates or enemies of the empire, of course they were also funded by private investors some smaller corporations, and of course anybody who world bay big, with this they decided to give themselves a proper name, and the Terran Defence Force was born, but with them there was a bit of corruption the biggest event of this is when one of their factories went dark and when they sent a small scouting fleet to go check on them the station was cover with pirates but no damage to the station its self, after that they made a code of family hood.
1. May you never betray a brother or a sister
2. May you never betray the home land
3. May you never try to over through the heard without proper reason
4. May you never kill a head of the home land
5. May you never go dark or leave without notice
6. May you never leave a citizen, friendly, or family member in need of help
7. May you never not pay fair to you crew
8. May you never not share loot with your crew
9. May the crew never overthrough the captain without reason
10. May a family member always share jobs on the job board
11. May a family member always share their greatest stories
12. May a family member always feel like a family member
Since then they haven’t had a major problem of corruption without knowing before it all started but there’s no such thing as perfection so some dose go under the radar. As the years passed by the TDF got bigger and bigger, but the pirates were preparing too, they were able to build up a large fleet that had equal fire power to the Terran Republican Grand nave, it was a long dragged out fight with both sides losing many ships but sadly the Grand nave had to jump out and the pirates won, but instead of jumping back to the system they came from to repair and go for another attack they decided to head deeper into the core worlds, the system they jumped into was the home base of the TDF and luckily they had still had many of the new recruits up and running with the last of the veterans that either retreated or were able to regroup from privies encounters with the pirate lord, this battle only lasted a few days and it quickly ended for a victory for the TDF, but they weren’t celebrating just yet, one of their sensor was picking up a small fleet in FTL moving to a previously unknown system, in our direction, at first they thought that it was a second pirate fleet until another fleet much larger than the first unknown fleet Went into FTL but was heading in the direction that the first unknot contact, as soon as the large fleet exited the smaller one headed back to the system that the second large fleet jumped to.
While the TDF was repairing they received a distress call from the same system that the two unknown fleets, the TDF dispatched a small wing of about 4 armed civilian ships 5 fighters and 1 destroyer. When they finally arrived they found many ships of unknown design, the veterans reported that this fight most likely was between 2-3 different factions, they decided to go through protocol as per usual and stay in the system if they could pick up any messages being sent but the system was dead quiet. Before they jumped in they received report that one of the unknown jumped further into unknown space and was able to track them to a large system that was scared radio activity, so theory’s started to pop up in the wing of it either being more distress calls, or a major system. A few hours passed and they got what they were looking for a data log from many different ships, there was only 3 different languages but one ship that best matched the drones only had between 6-17 crew even though it’s a ship the size of a battle ship or even a capital ship. The AI was able to gather enough information to make basic communication with a faction that went by the name of United Defense Space Command of the Aezairis Interplanetary Empire. They decided to leave a spy pod to gather as much information as they could, three months later they came back to collect the information and head back to home base. The second that they jumped in one of the unknowns attacked the system of Waja Prime, they confirmed about 56 ships total and luckily there were 3 wings with about 20 ships each so it didn’t take long for them to be taken care of, because of this they decided to head to the system that had large radio chatter they sent 2 cargo ships filled with raw materials 4 armed civilian fighters, 5 fighters, 1 destroyer and 1 advanced destroyer that had a prototype of what was called the Panic button witch was a FTL drive made to jump from anywhere but it was to dangerous to work efficiently. Once they jumped into the system the radio chatter went quiet for a few seconds then blew up again but this time it was different it sounded like they were repeating the message, this was of course expected as they just jumped into this alien system with no warning, on board the destroyer was the highest ranking admiral of the TDF James, E, Hendricks, and on the advanced destroyer they had the head of TDF Davidson, F, Derricks, and the president of the Terran Republic Marlin, A, Dorothy. We started to slowly moving closer to the station and sent them messages of the fallowing “we are not here to harm you, we were attacked by the same people who attacked you we wish to speak to you...” this messaged repeated until a large fleet jumped in that contained 4 flagships, 4 avalon class battleships, 2 Supernova battlecruisers and 20 Pantheon heavy frigates. And that’s when they opened communication.
"This is V'zevog, Head Admiral and my three subordnites, 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 of the Aerairis Interplanetary Empire. And who are you and why did you come here?"
“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 a alliance, we also brought t 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."
“Hold on you knows their names? That must mean you know what they want!” precedent 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 language 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 hav..... we had many well trained pilots who were aces but we only now have a few, but we are training new recruits everyday to be better pilots in smaller crafts and as seeing by the debris field 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 a 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. Hopefully, 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 Empress please retreat back with the frigates. Vice admiral calls the rest of the fleet in and tells them to ready."
The unknown ships warp in "It's... g jejskig for you puny beings to rhbtjfi..... FI-static"
AIE leadership says to TDF Leaders," We hate to ask this of you but could you help us with this little problem."
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 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 ill call them over and this should only take a few”
Admiral James: “Blood Fang, Wolf Squad, Gold Squad do you copy? Over” Gold Squad replies “This is Gold Squad we copy how did it go? Over” James replied “ it went all fine until they got reported of the unknown attacking the we are tasked to help defend their station and to not fuck this up i want you all to jump in on my position and hold fire we going to get revenge for Mark and Jessica, solid copy? Over” Gold Squad “That is a solid copy we are tasked with helping these guys to defend their station from the unknowns Oscar Mike.”
Gold Squad: Admiral James, E, Hendricks, they have 1 flagship 2 battleships 2 carriers (each carrier holds a total of 5 gunships and 5 fighters) and 4 advanced destroyers
Wolf squad: Admiral Wellston, D, Kingston, they had 1 capital ship 1 carrier and 4 covets
Blood Fang: Admiral Madison, V, R, Swills, they had 1 Battleship 2 Carriers 3 Destroyers 3 covets and 3 wings of extra fighters each wing of fighters had 6 ships
Once they jumped 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 than."
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 “under stood”
Second officer: “Sir we just hit 100% shell we engage?”
Admiral James “Engage!”
As they jump 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.... ever is 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."
Crew: “Sir! We are picking up multiple ships spawning from the main ship”
Admiral V'zevog to Admiral James “how about you focus on the drones as i work on the large ship”
Admiral James to Admiral V’zevog “ummmm...... sure but there’s just so many”
Admiral James to Admiral Wellston, D, Kingston, and Admiral Madison, V, R, Swills. “do you copy, over?”
Admiral Wellston, D, Kingston, and Admiral Madison, V, R, Swills, to Admiral James “yes we copy, what’s the plan? Over”
Admiral James to Admiral Wellston, D, Kingston, and Admiral Madison, V, R, Swills. “we are tasked to take down these drones and keep them focused on us as Admiral V’zenog deals with the home ship.”
Admiral Wellston, D, Kingston, and Admiral Madison, V, R, Swills, to Admiral James “Yes Sir!”
Admiral James to Admiral Madison “Get your scanners up, i want to know exactly how many of thses bustards there are”
Admiral Madison to Admiral James “Yes sir, scanner is up and....... oh my”
Admiral James to Admiral Madison “What is it? How many are there? We can’t get a good look”
Admiral Madison to open coms “34.... No 78...... No 240..... 300.... 412........ wait it stopped at 500”
Admiral James to Admiral Madison and Admiral Wellston “Ok 500 drones against your ships this should be a walk in a park. Madison Wellston i want you to deploy all fighters and gunships and keep them behind out ships till i tell you to let them lose”
Admiral Madison and Admiral Wellston to Admiral James “Yes sir, pilots are on their way and are preparing for takeoff”
Crew to Admiral James “Sir! They are almost in range and guns are ready”
Admiral James to Crew “alright once they get in range light them up, and when the lasers get in range send all fighter squads out”
Admiral James to Admiral Madison and Admiral Wellston “did you get that?”
Admiral Madison and Admiral Wellston to Admiral James “solid copy, all fighter squads are ready to attack and Gunships are waiting for orders”
Admiral James to Admiral Madison and Admiral Wellston “keep the gunships back and defend in case they get behind us”
The battle was long and brutal Admiral James underestimated the drones, they were able to take down all but one fighter squadron and all gunships were destroyed, they were able to critically harm a carrier and 3 curvets, and a destroyer. But they were able to take down all the drones.
Crew to James “Sir Admiral V’zevog is contacting us”
James “ok open coms lets see what he has to say?”
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 wile till we can get to you but we will try.”
Admiral V'zevog to Admiral James," We can have a repair station jump here to help with fixing your more heavily damaged ships if you'd like."
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 home worlds.
