Hey guys, my name is The-Ell-Star and this is my first fanfic.
This is a story based of the game Faster Than Light (FTL)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything of FTL, this is a non profit FanFiction, to which the views of this story do not follow that of the FTL game made by subset. Don't forget to support subset for creating FTL.
"Two possibilities exists:
Either we are alone in this universe
Or we are not
Both are equally as terrifying"
Space… probably the biggest place known to man and alien alike, but both human and alien have questioned whether it is a place, or just a state of matter. Despite this, space is an endless, and no one knows of its limits. So surely everyone, not matter who they are, should be able to find peace in space's limitless reach…?
Of course not, all organisms want to be the best, there no denying it. So it should be of no surprise that that basic instinct led to two spacecraft's staring each other down.
On the edge of the Treyun sector, two colossus spacecraft's were staring each other down, waiting for the other one to make the first move. One of the ships was white giant, with many rooms, armaments and thrusters. This was the federations mother ship, and was known as the "White Dragon". The White Dragon had been in many fights and wars, as was evident just be looking at the hull of the ship: chunks missing, hasty repairs, and, sometimes, flapping hull segments not properly fixed onto the rest of the ship. It had 5 thrusters, and its armaments were 2 burst laser Mk3 cannons, 2 Artemis missile launchers and a Pike beam.
Standing…well…floating across from the White Dragon stood…floated… an orange ship which was even bigger in size than the White Dragon. This orange space craft also had purple trimmings on it to go with the orange of said ship. Being the bigger ship, it could accommodate more weaponry than the White Dragon. The orange ship had 3 burst laser Mk3 cannons, 3 Leto missile launchers and 2 Pike beams.
There was a dead silence as both ships just stared each other down, and both ship captains were waiting for the other to fire first. The silence was becoming too much for the captain of the White Dragon, and so he ordered both burst lasers to fire on the orange ship. There was half a second delay before the captain saw the lasers heading towards the orange ship. From both burst lasers, there were 10 purple lasers traveling at the orange. The first three lasers disappeared when they came close to the orange ship, whilst the other 7 missed and flew past, never to be seen again.
With that, the orange ship began to move to the left, and its weapons began to lock to the White Dragon. The White Dragon also repositioned itself, so that again it was facing the orange ship. It was the same situation as before, but with the orange ships weapons charged and the White Dragon having only its missile launcher and beam charged, the orange ship began its assault. It fired its Leto missiles first, and not within half a second, the missiles had traveled the halfway distance between the two ships.
Seeing the 3 missiles coming, the White Dragon responded by firing its 2 Artemis launchers, which acted like flares that attracted the Leto missiles. Unfortunately for the White Dragon, the two Leto missiles canceled out the two Artemis missiles. This left one Leto missile unblocked, and still traveling towards the White Dragon. With no way to stop this missile, all the White Dragon could do was brace for the impact. The missile hit the White Dragon on its right side, next to the cockpit in a flurry of fire and explosions. At first, not much happened, but then the blue energy field around the White Dragon got dimmer.
Seeing this, the orange ship fired its three burst laser Mk3 cannons. As when the White Dragon fired, there was a half second delay before one by one, 15 laser shots came from all the cannons, and began traveling toward the White Dragon. 2 shots disappeared when the lasers came within 20 feet of the White Dragon, but this left 13 laser shots left with nothing to stop them hitting the White Dragon. 4 of the shots hit the same place as the Leto missile did, 2 shots hit the under belly of the ship, which made the thrusters on the White Dragon weak, and the rest of the laser shots hit to the left of the cockpit, making the weapons on the White Dragon sink down into the White Dragon and rendering them offline.
After the laser barrage, the White Dragon sent out a SOS signal to the orange ship, saying that the crew and captain on the White Dragon surrender as long as they could leave the sector in peace. All the White Dragon got was a cold, merciless voice saying
"We…don't not accept surrender"
Barking an order followed this
"FIRE EVERYTHING!"
With that command…a barrage of lasers…rockets…and beams came hurtling towards the White Dragon.
Within seconds of the barrage hitting the White Dragon in numerous parts, cracks formed all over the white ship's hull, then large chunks of the White Dragons hull were ripped apart from the rest of the ship. After two chunks fell apart, the White Dragon was engulfed in a blazing fire, followed by a loud explosion.
This…was the turning the point in the galactic civil war
In the days that followed, news of the White Dragons destruction spread across sector to sector. Many of those people didn't know how such a powerful ship could be destroyed, but it didn't take long for the more intelligent ones to realise that the Federation was in trouble.
The Rebellion were turning to tide of the war.
Sorry if the opening was too short or too long, I'm not good at stories openings. If you felt the opening was bad, it will get better as the story progresses as I can do middle to end story parts better.
If you want to leave a comment thats fine, it want to review the first chapter thats fine, and if you want to leave a like as well thats fine also.
See you next time.
