Week 4 Hunt- The Moon of Falayis

Falayis is a gas giant deep within E-strain space, and home to many of the worst experimentation on Bloom ships and subspecies of living vessels.

All scans point to 1,000 Bloom Ships hiding inside the gas giant of Falayis.

There are another 10,000 being grown on the Moon of Falayis.

Additional defenses may be set up by players in the TRILAT faction.

Primary TRILAT Mission- Defend the Fleet at Falayis
Secondary TRILAT Mission- Using information recovered from Prisoner00200, the command ship of Alice Clegg is parked in this gas giant. Find the vessel using creative means, and board it to learn more about the fate of Alice Clegg and the Angels of Desolation.

Primary I.R. Mission- Destroy the Fleet at Falayis
Secondary I.R. Mission- Deploy a Clean Bomb onto either the Moon of Falayis or the Gas Giant of Falayis. But only one Clean Bomb strike authorized for this mission.

All others Mission- Destroy the Fleet at Falayis
Secondary Mission- Find and track the Grey Scout Ship in the area.

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

4 wings of fighters 2 SAVs with STRIKE teams and the S-Crow (Medium Frigate) will tag along with the IR fleet, breaking off for the final jump. They will jump in away from the main action on the other side of the planet.

The S-crow, 1xSAV, 1x wing of stilletto fighters armed with EMP missiles on top of normal ordinance, and 1x wing of ripper gun pods will set the outer most cordon and provide general security.

2x wings of aegis fighters and 1x SAV will conduct a search of the planet. The first wing will begin searching the quiet areas of the gas giant using magnetic anomaly detectors as well as sonar and regular scanners looking for the Unknown Grey scout ship. The second wing and the SAV will hide in the ionosphere of the atmosphere to reduce sensor signature.

The first wing will try to push out the scout ship with its active searches, then as it attempts to break free of the atmosphere the other wing will EMP it and the SAV board it. If it evades them the Stillettos will give pursuit trying to EMP it and failing that shooting out the engines. The other SAV will act as search and rescue to pull out anyone who gets shot down.

If the ship is captured by the STRIKE team the S-Crow will tow it away from the battle and back to the IR assembly area.

If the E-strain moves in force to attack the small force it will hastily withdraw and try to look as unassuming as possible.

Captain Jo'thus the Quall N'Drone in charge of the assault team looked at his fleet, 10 Quall Destroyers, 10, Quall Light Frigates 550 Quall Interceptors and 300 Neo Flayer Star fighters. Their orders were simple, They would support any and all Iron Republic actions, they would ignore the target that was clean bombed and would assist the IR fleet in engaging which ever target was remaining.
As they were the only one who responded to the strategy session by the time this plan was put in place, an additional 100 Quall Interceptor Star fighters will be deployed to defend the Blackheart security force. They will also help to capture the ship they are after by using their grappling lines to try to hold it in place for the black heart crew to disable it.

A small fleet, especially compared to the E Strain forces there, also ignoring whatever reinforcements the Trilat would send, but he would have to hope that the rest of the Iron Republic officers would participate or else this attack would accomplish little.

"Yes send to Mr. Ryuk
I give good coordinates to Alice Cleggs ship. I provide Ryuk command codes hacked from command ship on my previous visit. These codes will allow him to dock without getting shot by command vessels cannons.
I will provide detailed layout from Memory. Making sure to mark traps and other defensive surprises.

I will also tell him IR alert codes so Ryuk only will be informed if an IR alert signals grey arrival."

Once interrogation ends, he sits on his cot. He sharpens a small piece of plasteel into a shiv. He tries to cut his wrists but the programming won't let him. So he hides it in the only safe place in his cell.

And he waits as he had waited for months. A slow sullen rage building in his heart. No tears fall. They have dried out over the months of captivity.

Sector General Deer's fleet designated Auchland 1, which are 40 TRIDENT Missile, shall be cloaked, and make their way into orbit above the moon of Falayis. They will coordinate with splinter fleet designate Auchland 2. Auchland which are 10 TRIDENT Missile, shall be cloaked, and have Neutron Dancer Drop Tanks strapped to them using tactical cord, and magnetic locks. They will go to the gas giant. Once inside, they will spot the Bloom Ships and the artillery cannons on the tanks will deliver one payload of NBomb shells apiece into each of the Bloom Ship formation. Then they will flee and return to base (Auchland 2).

Auchland 1 will hide the delivery of the Clean bomb by SG Palomedes' forces, by using direct missile bombardments onto the surface. All forces will withdraw if the Grey Fleet arrives.
Auchland 1 will retrieve SG Palomedes Clean Bomb if its carriage is destroyed or delayed, but the honor of pressing the button must go to the older officer.

Sometimes Deer has just gotta kick a little ass

Sector General Palomedes was full of deep concern as he watched the Vengeance of Mandate, a specially modified Trident Missile ship, leave the docking bay of his flagship.
Along with a compliment of 40 IR Raptors, the cloaked ship will make its way to Falayis.
The many Starfighters around it will cover the exhaust from the cloaked ship, if Palomedes has played his cards right.

Once it arrives at the moon of Falayis it will deploy a Clean Bomb.

Sector General Palomedes will calmly press the activation button at the appropriate time.

If Blackheart is successful on their mission, two heavy frigates will help cover their escape.

As he sit in the Via, listenign to Jojo give him a sitrep, Ragman slowly nooded, thinking 'i guess it is abou time to stir the pot.

Mentally telling Jojo to relay the message, he thought 'attention: infliltrators in the fleet around Falayis, It is time to start to take back the E-strain from the control of the Angels of Desolation. Therefore, i would like you to attempt to disrupt the defenses of the fleet. change targeting to other fleet ships if able, try to protect the ships coming to attack the fleet if possible, and at all costs, could you please take out the Fleet command ships. i would perfer that there are no survivors from the command ships. we need to sever the control the demon-worshipers have over the E-strain if they are ever to be free. we will attempt to rez all of you who die in this attempt back at teh infiltrator base. thank you and good luck.'

Thinking to himself, ' i just hope that they got a big enough monkey wrench'

Ryuk has put a lot of planning into this, and hopes are high for him. "By the end of this day, Alice Clegg should be mine!"

With the information I received for the prisoner, I will be sending a ship to dock with Alice Clegg's command ship. This ship will be carrying the hackers that Prime has provided me, with the unity philosophers staying on the ship and the rest going on board. Accompanying each group will be about a dozen of the most adept of Ryuk's rabble. The landing group will follow the instructions given by the prisoner, coming to a terminal suitable for taking over the whole ship. from here the landing team will make initial entry into the system, and provide direct access to the philosophers, so they may start hacking.

They hackers, working together, will take over the ship, lock out every other terminal and lock down the ship. A specifically made program, which represents Ryuk's face and voice , will be sent to the bridge addressing the captain. one of Ryuk's Rabble will insult the captain to a phrase similar to "I will kill" you is said. During this time, the hackers will be taking control of the other smaller ships under Alice Clegg's command. The snippet saying something about death will be played to all the IR ships around this one, and then the hackers will take control of the ships, have them do an initial hit and then run. The IR frequencies will be jammed at this point in time.

The command ship will be flown out towards Marduk, where there will be people waiting to clear each room and take prisoners. Alice Clegg, if there will be held in a special cell, for Ryuk to deal with when he arrives.

Any information found about the grey by the hackers, will be immediately sent to prime, along with information when i am flying ship out.

Lt Ryuk

This moon will be protected by static defenses that the Unity has provided far in advance. Asteroids will be linked by nano-wire in the form of nets around the moon. Other asteroids will be free floating in the network, but will extend these feelers for countless miles. Further, the moon has feelers going our for countless miles. These feelers will be able to detect almost any change in mass, even those created by stealthy bombers. These feelers will be linked to the defenses of the moon made by the E-strain. It will also indicate to all TRILAT ships the presence of a bomber vessel.

Further, the Unity has installed two layers of static defenses on the moon itself.

Layer one: Shadow shielding. As in the days when CEN defended their cities with shadow generators, a number of shadow generators will be installed onto the moon itself. These shadow generators will be used to fuel Angel D's dark purposes, and will also generate defensive shields.

Layer two: Once again, the Unity will have installed a number of reality drills on the planet. They will be aimed at attacking vessels. These drills first priority is getting Trilat teams onto the Grey scout vessel. These teams will consist of leyas users and high tier combatants.

Just helping out where i can, i will be scanning the area looking for clusters of enemy IR ships. I will also be scanning the planet for ships on planet, and trying to get a hold of Lt. Ryuk.
"my fellow ...Kad...Kasanthian, Ryuk,
I have a means of extracting the ...Alf... Alice Clegg ship. If you so desire, give me whatever coordinates you have and i will transport the vessel safely. i have a secure location in the ...mid...mountainside of CV Beta 4, the planet is toxic enough that anyone trying to follow will have a significant problem- thank you Gilmour, and i do ...sif...sincerely mean it. If i get the word, i will go ahead and do this.
For the ...Tih...Trilat,
Viggo"

I will fill the nightmare lord vessel, will the first wave of nightmares, as well as the Black Cats of RU V. Once the vessel is a full capacity and power (waiting to use at night), I will shadow jump just above an enemy cluster of ships. For smaller ships i will use the acid cannons, trying to disrupt whatever they are attempting to do. For any smaller ships, i will open with the mind warping cannon, disrupting the vessel long enough for the Black Cats to lead in a wave of nightmares breaching the hull of the vessel and forcing them to abandon their plans.

If i receive contact from Ryuk, I will Shadow Jump to the coordinates, clamp onto their ship and shadow jump back out to the space around CV Beta 4, bringing the vessel within the nightmare pit, supported by the flesh worms and Gilmour"s grand fungus.
