The Fallen Angels Chapter 2

Andrael reported to Commodore Xentra. "Ahh, bloody Imperials, I'd personally kick the Emperors withered butt if it wasn't imbedded in his throne." The Commodore said after looking over the report. Andrael grinned at his comment. The commodore always has this way of putting things in a more uplifting and less stressful manner for the men and his comrades. He always could raise morale before a battle to inspire the men.

Andrael feared for the commodore's life when he got news he was injured during the battle, but praise the heavens he survived. If he hadn't we might as consider ourselves executed for heresy, then Andrael returned to the present

"Sir, we need a navy, our system is in jeopardy without it. We cannot withstand another drop ship attack from those Imperials." Andrael said.

"Yes, good thought, though I am one step ahead of you." He grinned as he spoke.

Then his face became rigid. Andrael knew the commodore had something imperative to say. "Well, I have given money to the Chaos forces nearest us to send two war ships and one capitol ship with raw materials and everything we may need to build star ports, so we can build up some naval forces. This will be tricky, for the Imperials will have spies in the system no doubt. The Chaos ships will make a fake bombardment, and then we will send our only planetary defense: 3 Thunder-Hawk Gunships. Their mission will be to attack the war ships on testing power so it appears that they are shooting at full force. Then the Chaos ships will activate their holographic projectors to show damage and explosions. One Thunder-Hawk will have engineers to convert the ships to our liking and will scan for probes. The other two will carry troops to "take the ship over." The Chaos will use the escape pods to escape and return to their system." Xentra explained.

"But sir, this seems a bit thin; Thunder-Hawks would have a hard time to disabling two war ships…"

"Yes, but they will be using the dart and dump method, by getting to their bays ASAP except for the one with engineers that one will be doing "hit and runs" and the other two sneak to the bay." Xentra explained.

"…you have not explained how we will get the capitol ship though, sir." Andrael said. "Well be patient, be patient I know. The capitol ship will arrive at another quadrant to start bombarding the side of planet where our planetary gun will also be on test mode to shoot at the capitol ship and disable it dead in space where later on we will get to it after the two war ships." Xentra finished his tactical plan and looked toward Andrael if he had any questions.

"Well, sir why the big plan? Why not just buy them face to face?" Andrael asked confused.

"Good question. Because if the Imperials get spy footage of that then they can start their propaganda monster to get support of the people and they'd then have more reason to send more forces up our butt… also we will gain more respect from the Imperials. So there for they will be more careful and won't just toss stuff at us all the constantly. This would eventually whittle us down, until we have nothing left."

"Oh, thank you sir, how soon will this take place?" Andrael asked astonished at how much thought Xentra put into his plan, course this is big because a capitol ship and two war ships is nothing to take lightly.

"Within 15 minutes." Xentra responded.

"Fifteen minutes, sir?!? I should've known. You can never wait to get a new toy." Andrael chuckled.

"Here are my new toys!" Xentra said with a smile and pointed to the radar screen. Andrael saw the blips on the screen he saw the two war ships at quadrant three and the capitol ship at quadrant two. Then Andrael said "Well here is where the deception begins, yes?" Xentra responded with a smile and a nod.

"Yes, it begins."
