Fight for Freedom

on . Posted in AE Stories

Fight for FreedomThe Anarchy Clan had taken over. The Federation of Planets had fallen to the Emperor, the last few planets strong enough to fight him were battling off all the Anarchy. After the fall of the Federation, all the members joined the Anarchy Clan making it undefeatable. The Freedom Kingdom guild was preparing its full force to begin retaking the first few galaxies. Leading the first squad was Renegade General Casamir. He had been in the galactic Federation’s best armies, fought many battles but this was nothing like he’d ever faced before. In all the first squad had three leviathans, five titans, ten dreadnoughts and all the fighters and bombers they could fit. The General sat in his quarters remembering all the battles he’d been in. The first over the Latos planet against the failing bulldogs’ guild then began the Anarchy guild which led to many battles over the Federation planets, he was always on defence when against Anarchy but now he was taking the battle to them. ‘It’s a start,’ he thought to himself.…

Corvette Salvation? (Just Another Day At The Office, Part 5)(Author’s note: if you haven’t read the earlier parts of this story, you should read that first before enjoying this story. Start with “Just Another Day At The Office”. --- “Kind of an odd place to put a museum...” Sam mused out loud as the Alyra approached the pier. He stretched and yawned, the cool air helping him come alive after an early wake-up call this morning. The sea voyage had taken just under 6 days and Sam was looking forward to stepping on dry land again. Fortunately they were ignored by the Drekons and were able to make the trip without incident. The museum was located quite literally on the water, with part of it on land and part of it on pilings cantilevered out over Warlock Bay. Everything about the place felt unfamiliar to Sam, which was no surprise given how far they’d come. The museum was located in the city of Atlantis on the Southern Continent, over 6000 miles from home.…

To kill a battleship

To kill a battleshipAs she sat, she thought, her eyes looking out into the abyss of space and at the fleet around her. Maxine sat at the command of the Leviathan class ship, Unity,  of the Brotherhood of Nod.  Her green eyes drifted down to the control console, she pushed aside a bit of her long brown hair with her hand, then read the orders. There was a fleet in the galaxy that needed to be taken down, Her fleet was the one who got the orders, so she leaned back.Unsure of what to do, her face showed the uncertainty that was around her, as she looked a bit pale, not that she was that dark toned to begin with. She stood walking towards the front, “We have received orders to take down a fleet that our leader wants gone from this galaxy, we’re going to launch tomorrow at 0500 sharp, I expect everything to be ready by then” she said with a tone of strength and certainty. She walked over to the logistics officer and spoke to him in a calm tone, “the coordinates will be given to you shortly, i sent them to your console through the interface...” Her voice had wavered a bit. She walked from the bridge to her room, a short walk as it was not that far for her. She lay on her bed, and fell asleep. …
