Hello fellas! Well, it's been long...but I finally managed to find my way back to Gal Civ II, after many many months of RL, a change in jobs and cities, Oblivion & Mass Effect! [e digicons]:cylon:[/e] Hmmm. What can i say (at a loss for words) - just can't describe how awesome this story is. The battle sequences are just....epic!!

Thank you guys for your patience! [quote] Guess the Zeus relies on offensive power to knock out the opposition before the opposition does the same. Lets face it, with 42 missile attack, it can pretty much take out any opposition, regardless of their defense value. [/quote] u got it idunno116. Since at this time, the Altairians and Arceans have Cruisers & Battleships (the Arceans even have a Frigate) with a firepower rating of 51 and above

WOW!!! Gosh i'm beginning to blush now! :SURPRISED: Thanx everybody...for your overwhelming response. I don't know what else to say. When I started I just wanted to create a story which shared my experience of my first GalCiv game. Can't say how glad i am that you guys are enjoying it.

[quote] thank you for the drengin point of view. [/quote] Ur most welcome danielost. I wholeheartedly agree with you that to really bring out the dramatic intensity of the moment and provide a complete point of view, one must take into account both the sides of the story.

Smooth lines, a huge streamlined body - the epitome of advanced Alliance engineering. Gone were the old days when ships would take several months to move from one sector to another. The NX-1 could cover an entire sector within a single month (it was a measure of how vast the Allia

Warhammer & Commander of Alliance Hammer Squadron[/B] Another potential mother of a battle coming up and once again we are going to be at the forefront of the action. Things just keep getting more and more exciting. Though this time I doubt whether we will be able to come lightly off. The Drengin were certainly no pushover…but the Torians and Altairians were able to tie down their fleets…pre
Well written...that really brought out the intensity of the battle! Looking forward to more...
Keep up the good work Eidolon1032!! You're doing a great job bringing out the emotional flavour and adding an epic feeling to this AAR.

[B]G.Y. 31-32 (T.Y. 2256-2257) – Build-Up[/B] It was during this brief period that the Alliance decided to embark on a daring course of action. Terran leaders, under advice from Grand Admiral Hartford, had decided that the resurgent Drengin threat had to be eliminated once and for all…and with the Torians and Altairians (who were also facing rising tensions with the Arceans, who accused them of fermenting rebellion in their colony on Dark Yor III - a worrying development) engaging thei

Enterprise, commanded by Captain Theodorus Clark (the original captain had been Dan Higgins) was at the forefront of the action, sending back ultrawave holo feeds and data streams that kept Allied Command informed of the progress of the war.

[B]G.Y. 24 (T.Y. 2249) – Upgradation[/B] In March 2249, Allied scientists developed the powerful Harpoon Advanced Missile System (AMS), which used the energy created by a concentrated proton particle barrage to wreak devastation on any surface it encountered. Spotting an opportunity, Polaron Initiatives & Orion Industries submitted 2 new designs - upgraded versions of the Archer & Avenger, called the Longbow & Nova respectively. These new ships would be similar to their earlier
[B]G.Y. 17 – 23 (T.Y. 2242-2248) – Consolidation & Weaponisation[/B] In the year 2242, the Alliance got its first rude shock, immediately after the 3rd Galactic Council meeting, in which a bill had been proposed that would enable the weaker developing races to receive help in the form of funding from the more powerful civilizations…especially the Arceans. The bill failed to pass, because of the huge political clout enjoyed by the Arcean Empire (the largest and most powerful race in the
