It is the year 3186 in the Unified
Universal Order or U2O. The human race has encountered approximately 1,547 different
"intelligent" life forms and has created this alliance. We have been engaged in
nine major wars such as the Trakony Conflict. The U20 flagship is the Plateron, which has
had many encounters with open hostilities. There have been some problems within this type
of society that are taken care of quite nicely.
There was one main problem that was in a newly discovered galaxy in the
Tahlos Sector that was very disturbing. The Faragon was traveling through a warp conduit
when there was a sudden plasma surge in the primary magnetic drive coil, rendering it
inoperable until repaired. All repair drones were sent to commence with the repairs, and
the captain wanted to know what happened so he said, "Computer forward all sensory
logs to my ready-room." Captain Xitan and his chief advisory staff were looking at
the data and discovered that a compressed neutrino detonator had passed through the
shields and self-destructed.
"It was a good thing the explosion was contained or it would have
fried the next entry node and collapsed the conduit," the helmsman exclaimed.
"Repairs completed, Sir," said the commander.
Xitan replied, "Continue on course."
Master Krys of the Crystalline Empire commanded all of the Star Core
fleet to intercept the Faragon at the Hydroxia mining colony. "Captain, we have
unidentified silhouettes off our port bow at bearing twelve degrees and one point five
light years from our current position," one of the reconnaissance vessels
acknowledged.
Captain Rotis, of the Star Core fleet, said, "Come within weapons
range." "Xitan we must engage," the counselor pleaded.
Xitan said, "Head right for them. Keep weapons on stand-by. On my
mark circle on full impulse jettisoning all anti-matter. Then reverse thrust with
continuous weapons firing. Hold it...Hold it...Now!"
"Rotis we have lost eight ships already," an engineer
reported.
"Retreat! Retreat," Rotis exclaimed, "Maybe next
time."
Xitan ordered, "Status report."
"Minimal damage, Sir," a worker replied cheerfully.
"Well done. Now, let's call in some defensive
reinforcements," Xitan said.
The Faragon proceeded until it came across an unusual find. It was a
technology capsule but it contained a sphere of unknown origin. Then it sent a pulse
through a scientist's body and took on a humanoid shape. "We are Celestis and we are
grateful for your freeing us. We will advance your technology greatly. Computer initiate
matrix integration. There it is done," so said the being.
Xitan said, "We must go on."
"Celestis, what are you doing?" a woman inquired. "We
are reforming our planet, "Celestis explained.
"But how?" she wondered.
"We are locating all of the fragments then placing them in their
proper order, but there is one piece holding back. The Crystalline Empire must be
destroyed," Celestis decreed.
The Faragon went to Saphroxi, the Imperial planet, and was attacked by
a ruthless squadron. "Scramble all fighters," dictated Xitan, "Hold
position and fire at will." The Faragon retreated, but then went back for more. The
battle was shifting sides. Then the Plateron came in weapons blasting. It didn't take long
for Krys to fall. Then Celestia was finally reborn. Celestis then divided becoming
individuals once more. The Faragon is now the U2O flagship along with the Plateron, and
finally the Celestians became a part of the Unified Universal Order.
