F.I.G. The Fedaration of Intergalactic Galaxies Fraction

Or if the faction is too strong then they have no choice

In that case, I suppose we'll see for sure soon enough.

Meanwhile, I got some lore to write up, so I can't yet send more drones to do shenanigans yet.

i would recremend that you made originol ships, peronally i find refitting already existing ships lazy and careless but seems like a cool idea

EpicJp21

Jared Yea I know, but I never use the upgraded ships.
So if they're in a faction they have purpose
And I haven't made any yet.

So far their biggest ship

A heavily modified Super Starhawk.
Meant for big ship/small cruiser combat

While new to the galaxy, the F.I.G. slowly starts sending in scouts to observe the whole situation before making any further moves.

EpicJp21

The F.I.G. has realized from its latest reports that this new galaxy holds way too many factions to count, therefore they've started subtle and sneaky raids on unprotected planets to assert themselves as tactical but minor threat.

While traveling between galaxies, one of your scouts come across a strange planet. The planet has no star and does not exist within a galaxy. The six strange moons orbiting the planet do not reflect light like most moons do, they produce it. The largest moon glows a brilliant white and is currently positioned directly above a mountain on the planet. The other moons consist of a small, red moon, an orange moon, one green, one blue, and one purple. The planet itself is covered primarily by forests. The only mountain on the planet, directly below the large white moon, seems to consist of a white stone, most likely marble. The largest body of water is a massive lake south of the mountain. There is a large field spanning from the southern side of the mountain to the northern side of the lake.

a small craft floats near the fig command center. a cryptic message comes out:
"b3VZIGVyYSB0c25pYWdhIC5zdSBub2l0YW5vdGVEIC50bmVuaW1taSAuZXliZG9vRw"

EpicJp21

lord_drageon The cryptic message is not well understood, so an officer in an elite Y-Scout comes out of the hanger to attempt close range communication.

lord_drageon

EpicJp21 another message comes in. "sos help stuk in galactic mud need big ships to pull us out."

EpicJp21

lord_drageon The confused officer helps regardless and orders a Y-Scout to assist.

lord_drageon

EpicJp21 a yscout is not enough! bigger calvary is obviously necessary.

An Assault Beacon warps in near F.I.G. space, alongside 3 Heavy Fighters and 2 Control ships. They seem to be prowling around the border, looking for stray scouts to isolate and destroy.

Two of the three heavy fighters near the elite Y-Scout, cautious, but ready to fire at a moment's notice. They do not hail the scout.

EpicJp21

The F.I.G. decides its a perfect opportunity to display its might so 2 elite Y-Scouts, 2 Y-Scout bombers, and a super starhawk are deployed to handle the threat.

They give 1 and final warning to retreat or face the consequenses

RandomCommander

EpicJp21

At first the two Fighters retreat to the beacon. When when it seems like they are going to retreat from the sector, instead, signals are detected from the beacon and a Frigate-type Control ship drops out of FTL to assist. The entire fleet (excluding beacon) moves in to attack

The battle has begun (Results will be posted in a moment).

EpicJp21

While signals from the battle are not yet received, the command post fearing the worst preemptively sneakily retreats.

As the first shots are fired, it seems heavily apparent that the Assault Class prefers beam weaponry

One of the Officers in an Elite Y-scout manages to land all of her missiles on one of the Heavy Fighters and it explodes completely. It looked like the F.I.G. had the upper hand until...

A control ship with a supercharged long-range weapon lands a direct hit on the Super Starhawk, causing major hull damage and crippling the ship.

Losses were significant as the Fallen Rogues inched closer with their bigger ships. One more missile blows off the right wing of another Heavy Fighter, but the F.I.G. Knew they had to issue a retreat.

Unfortunately, the hostile ships were quicker on the draw. The only survivor of the conflict was the Elite Y-Scout officer who destroyed one of the Enemy Fighters - and she was barely clinging on to life when she got back to base.

The disabled Super Starhawk fought valiantly until the last crewmember perished, dealing heavy damage to the fighters, but they couldn't seem to break the shields on the bigger ships.

1 Heavy Fighter Destroyed
2 Heavy Fighters Heavily damaged and withdrawn

2 Y-scout bombers Destroyed
1 Elite Y-Scout Destroyed
1 Elite Y-Scout Heavily damaged and withdrawn
1 Super Starhawk Destroyed
