Week 6 - The Cure to the Quall Once and For All

"The Cure for the Quall, Once and For all"
That was the ad, just a black screen and those words.

A Terrorist and known I.R. hater Sheikh Ragay has been spotted in the Free Systems with a convoy of one blackmarket Arcturus and two blackmarket Antares Starfreighters with their compliment of Hornet Starfighters. He has been selling a technology designed to restore all Quall Warriors into their original form En masse. Reports that have filtered back from the Free Systems is that Sheikh Ragay has over 500 Quall Prisoners held in stasis waiting so he can show his technology to the highest bidders.

There are rumors he has met with Garmin Fe of Beacon City. Garmin Fe turned him down out of concerns it would threaten the new treaty with the Iron Republic.

Now Shiekh Ragay is hoping to entice the EEF or better yet their near-terrorist subordinates the Lions of Earth.

The Sheikh’s fleet is orbiting the Gas giant of Illuminos in Free Systems space.


This mission is open to All Players.

Post your plan to this mission on either the defenders or attacker's side here on this thread only. First person to post gets a single extra repost later to launch secret attacks, ambushes etc. All other players get one post only. This thread will be locked at 11pm E.S.T. on Friday June 10th. Only actions listed on this mission thread will count as locked in for player actions.

You are encouraged to set up threads in your own factions to discuss this matter.

Peshareen had been sent with a security contingent (1 Vespae, 5 Aegis fighters, himself and 4 other Blackheart contractors with standard weapons loadout) to see this so called wonder cure. If it was no bullshit Childeen had authorized him to pay a large sum for it.

The fighters checked in every few minutes. They would defend the fleet if necessary, however if things looked like they were getting too intense Pesh would grab Shiekh Ragay and the formula and bring them aboard his ship as they tried to push away from the fleet, dip into the atmosphere of the gas giant, come out the tail end and start jumping back to casablanca station. If that happened then hopefully Shiekh Ragay would offer a discount for saving his life.

If there are any distress signals from that system, I will deploy 3 Unity Dreadnoughts, 3 Arcturi, and 50 Sagitae to investigate and relay the distress call to all those in the Free Systems to assist and observe.

Captain Ti'lan smiled, now this is what he was talking about, a real mission, not just drop off people and leave mission. No, he was going to help rescue 500 Quall N'Drone from being slaughtered in a stage show to show off this terrorist's technology. He gave the order to the fleet and the countdown began. The mission would be two fold, first he would come in behind the Gas giant of Illuminos and engage the cloaking device in his Trident Missile ship. Several minutes later The main fleet would arrive in front of the gas giant in full view of the enemy convoy. The fleet would be commanded by Fleet Commander Korashikan and would be made up of 200 Neo Flayer Star Fighters, 300 Quall Interceptors, 6 Quall Frigates, 9 Quall Destroyers and the Mothership "The Burning Onslaught". They shall send this transmission.

"Sheikh Ragay, you supposedly hold 500 Quall N'Drone in stasis, you are to release them immediately. We do not care about you or any crimes you have committed, we only want those individuals returned. If you agree we shall withdraw without violence, you are to identify which ship contains the Quall and may either send them over to us or we can board the ship and take them back. If we board the ship as long as no violence is committed then no harm shall come to your crews. We don't care if you trust us or not, as this fleet is easily large enough to destroy your forces. The very fact that we are talking to you shows that we are being honest with you."

If they agree to this then we will peacefully take back the Quall Prisoners and then withdraw.

Of course since there is almost no chance of them agreeing to that here is what will most likely happen.

If they reject our kind proposal The Neo Flayer fighters shall engage enemy fightercraft while the scanners of "The Burning Onslaught" shall scan the fleet attempting to find out where the stasis pods are being held. Half of the Mothership's Raptors will be launched and using EMP missiles attempt to disable the enemy ships in addition to the EMP missiles launched by the Burning Onslaught as well. Any enemy ships that are disabled the remainder of the Raptors shall launch carrying Brethren to board and capture the enemy ships. No Quall shall be used to capture the ships, crew will be shot and the ships secured. They shall then search for the Stasis pods and take them back with them back to their Raptors. The enemy crews' bodies shall be taken back with us for resurrection and interrogation. Decisions about implantation shall be made at a later date.

If anyone interferes with the mission the Quall Interceptors shall engage any foreign group that attempts to protect these terrorists Eliminating the fighters while our Light Frigates and Destroyers engage enemy capital ships. Destroyers using their Dome Busters while the Light Frigates provide screening and using their ramming horns to slam into the enemy ships then backing off and firing their weapons into the breach.

During the Fighting The Trident Missile Ship "Shadowflame" shall sneak up cloaked and board the Arcturus and deploy a Brethren Strike force accompanied by a pair of Dimension Walkers armed with springshot rifles artificed with Brain Fever. Their orders will be to capture the command crew and bring them back to Kyrpos and imprisoned not implanted.
All prisoners shall be stripped, scanned and rendered unconscious to prevent any subterfuge. (put into prison clothing not naked)

Once the operation is complete all ships shall withdraw.

Le-a Hive Queen when she heard of Sheikh Ragay's holding of Quall Prisoners she began to mutter curse words and oaths of destruction towards Sheikh Ragay. She talked to her people

"Listen to me my children for we must go to battle. A man by the name of Sheikh Ragay (she spits at the name and mutter curse words under her breathe) holds 500 of our people prisoner doing unthinkable experiments to them. We must save them! This can not be allowed to pass. We are already perceived to be weak by the actions of Garmin Fe(again spits at mutters curses which is followed by all of Le-a's followers at the sound of the accursed name). Let Sheikh Ragay learn what true fear is as we burn the flesh off him piece by piece then bring him back only to do it to him again and again and again until he begs us for death that will never come. We will continue to do this to his body until the end of days. We will not implant such a monster to our fold oh no this fate is a much more deserving one for Sheikh Ragay. this will show what we do to monsters that dare threaten the Quall. Linderina will be in charge of my forces. As you all know Linderina has her own experiences with being tortured before she turned to our cult. She will be most ferocious in her attacks against Sheikh Ragay for experimenting and torturing her beloved people. We know very well about loss let us not loose these Quall the way we have lost millions of ours. Lets give these Quall the chance we never got."

After hearing Le-a's speech the crowd roared in a thunderous agreement.

Linderina went up to her queen and told her of the battle plans for the mission ahead

"I will need a Quall destoyer to transpost our forces and dock onto Sheikh Ragay's ship. I will determine which ship is Sheikh Ragay's by using the heat produced by the different people on board the ship and determine which one is the most guarded as being Sheikh Ragay's ship. I will need 500 of our best Red fist commandos in case Sheikh Ragay knowing that the Quall would not sit around and let this happen that they will fight he will most likely fire ward the place and we would need to use chill attacks against him and his forces. I will personally attempt to hide in Sheikh Ragay's shadow if he casts one or a nearby shadow and I will take him to Krypos with me when i wrapped him in Obsidium chains that i will emit heat from so as to burn his flesh so that torture you describe earlier we already have started. The rest of the troops will be fighting with Sheikh Ragay's forces or anyone on his side. If there are fire wards the troops will split in half with the half of the troops breaking the wards and the other half weaving in and out of shadows in a strafing formation casting chill attacks as they poop out. If no fire ward is present then half will cast brainfever while the other half casts fire missiles from the sky onto their enemies. As for the air foces I will need at least 250 starfighters to do strafing runs against enemy targets in the air."


Your plan does sound like a good one but if anything should go awry I don't want to loose anymore of my people. If the tide of battle turns in the favor of our enemies I am ordering you to immediately cast your portals back home a ship will be waiting to rendezvous you back to Wyanda.

Agreed wise Queen we shall do as you say.

Lady Ja'cyln didn't care one way or the other about the Shiek or his pirates, but for some reason she couldn't bring herself to let the Qual be killed. She felt a kinship to them. So she decided to try and be sneaky about it, She knew that her father would have a holy shit fit if she was caught. hell, she wasn't even supposed to be off of the Angel's Descent.

But she had convinced the captain to follow her orders while the president was out of touch.

her plan was simple, stay out of sight and make it so the pirates couldn't run away. If they could beat the forces attacking them so be it. but cowardice woudl be punished.

she took her ships and their fighters into the Plane of Awareness and headed for the colocial point to where the pirates would be. Any capital ship belonging to Ragay entering the plane of awareness would be shot with multiple Disabling rounds from the 4 squads of Limpets and pirate fighters would be attacked by the 4 schools of Piranha. Any EEF or IR ship were not to be fired on under any circumstances. After the capital ships were disabled, the 2 Megaladons she had would land boarding parties consisting of Special forces and lamia units. if ragay was found he would be taken into custody and turned over to EEF command to be dealt with. Any qual prisoners or corpses found would be taken still in stasis to Wylanda and turned over to the Cult of the Horned Dog.

The Scout Patrolling Unity of the 7th FS Armada would hail any ships entering the region (that are not Free Systems):

"This is the 7th Armada of the Free Systems, you are not cleared for entry into Free Systems Territory. Please state your intent and desired location."

The transmission will consistently state that they are not granted access to this space and should leave immediately (every few minutes). For any enquiries regarding the nature of Sheikh Ragay's ship, they will advise that they are unaware of said individual's movements and there appears to be no such freighter/ship in the area matching whatever description they are providing. No direct action will be taken, and the patrol will never make themselves seen to trespassers. They are merely the ever watchful eye. Otherwise, no contact other than "you are not authorized for entry, please cease, desist, and exit the Free Systems." All ships entering without authority will be cataloged for reference.

If any EEF/Lions of Earth ships are sighted, their location is to be noted, and once the "raiding" parties have their "fun", their locations would be broadcast throughout the Free Systems, would be any other individuals/parties on the Pirate Hit List, so that they would have a harried retreat.
