Part 44: Episode IV: 2500 - 2524
Episode IV: 2500-2524There was little point in showing the status or any other such stuff here. Similarly, attacks on a couple new systems would show nothing new, we simply got wiped out as usual. But there was this:
Umm, yay? Hilariously, we now can research Hercular Missiles. It's only a few decades late ... what the heck, might as well divert most of the research there. Yarrow is no more, and Tau Cygni takes considerable damage from the single cruiser that effortlessly took out over 20 bases.
Then came the transports. The Bulrathi, with their obscenely overpowered Neutronium Powered Armor, Personal Barrier Shields, and Fusion Rifles, obliterated our troops on Mobas the next year. And stole some tech they won't need. The Alkari gave us some comic relief by retreating from one fight, despite having thousands of destroyers. And then ...
'Emporers'?
Ahh, the not-so-dreaded(at least at advanced tech) extragalactic interloper. It might slightly annoy the New Republic. Or not.
Took out our bases with their colony ship. That's embarassing. 2508, and 11 planets left. Zoctan follows a couple years later.
I think you meant to say 'barely being noticed by a small section of the galaxy'. Furthermore, the only way the Alkari fleet can be considered 'glorious' is by comparison to our non-existent one. But I digress. We aren't getting any more attacks for a few years now, but Toranor rebels to liven things up, then Volantis the year afterwards. Well now. That'll suck a nice healthy portion of our population to take care of this problem.
A few years later, and I've now officially seen everything. The Sakkra came to Vega, where the Alkari have retreated from multiple times. All the missile bases had been destroyed by saboteurs. They had 40 cap ships, a couple hundred cruisers, thousands of destroyers. I had a nuclear-powered scout.
The lizards retreated. What the ... I am totally befuddled to explain this nonsense. Then, the Alkari take the planet with a lone colony ship. Makes sense.
Our first stolen tech in like half a century. It's a fantastic one too.
Just as another session comes to end, here's a new toy. Never thought I'd even last long enough to pull it in. If only by a hair, that does makes things a little more interesting.
