Dramatic SFB: Invasion Game

[Matt]

FROM THE OFFICE OF INTERIOR SECURITY
TO THE PERSON OF THE SUB-PRESIDENT
RE: AGGRESSIVE RAIDS FROM THE ENTITIES CODENAMED HEMLOCK
DATED STARDATE 2758.6

Sir,
With the attack on our /Mithralis/ system and subsequent pursuit of the 
De Gama, it is the strong opinion of this office that we prepare for an 
increase in battles with this unknown species. We have seen a dramatic 
increase in raids over the last year and current projections indicate 
that if we do nothing, in half a year we will begin to lose a star 
system a month.

/5 days later:/

The /RIS Havok/ was speeding along as fast as her captain dared to take 
her. Two of them were giving chase, both smaller than her, but having 
lightly damaged her in the brief confrontation they engaged in half an 
hour ago. Her return fire was neatly deflected by their odd shielding 
technology and they were effectively undamaged.

Her captain realized that a standing battle would be catastrophic for 
his ship. In finding data on the attackers, his science officer also 
found standing orders that encounters are to be avoided and eyewitness 
reports are a priority. So instead of a running battle or a 
dive-and-surface encounter, the captain of the Havok decided to run for 
the nearest communications relay. There to turn and fight, while 
transmitting a real-time record of what could be his final encounter.

The year is Y176. The devastation across the octant seems to have 
reached a fever pitch. But it has brought new technologies in it's wake 
as empire-on-kingdom conflict continues to build.

More importantly, we mark that year as when our part of the galaxy 
turned it's attention from eachother and instead we were swallowed up by 
one from outside. An invasion was started then: One that was centuries 
in the making. One we will remember for centuries to come.
