Earth and Jurain War: P. II

Disclaimer: I do not own Tenchi Muyo. I just have fun.

Reviewers please leave an e-mail address so that I may address you directly. Also this has been lengthen a bit and the 80 became 80 percent as the site drops the percentage sign for some odd reason..

Captain Halsey in recognition of your bravery, skill, and tenacity in the command of the Ares and her escorts, I promote you to Rear Admiral and award you, by order of the Coalition Assembly, the Coalition Cross, the Starblaze, and from the countries and Allies of the Coalition come, the Medal of Honor, the Chrysanthemum 1st class, the Victoria Cross, the Knight's Cross, and the Order of the Elder from the Cathoons. Stand and be recognized Admiral Halsey.

…………………………..Salvage Crew 9……………………………..

The thing is more than 3 Klicks long and is drifting dead. Only visible weapon is a nose mounted cannon. Spectro analysis reveals the age of this ship to be over a million years old. The crew was a M class specie who had mapped this entire Galaxy when we got to its data banks. It had also visited or had knowledge of 14 other Galaxies. A test fire of the weapons systems on the Vega moon destroyed it. This thing is overkill for the vaunted First Generation Tree Ships of Jurai. It might even be more powerful than the rumored Tsunami. Further, the 30 fighter craft we found in it have enough fire power each to blow third generation destroyers out of the sky. Refit should take about four weeks and we can carry the war into Jurai's territory. Lt. Miskie….

"Nice view isn't Halsey?"

"Admiral Masaki, I didn't realize you were in."

"I prefer it that way as too many try to kiss my ass for my foresight."

"Well it was you who insisted on the cross braced designs that enabled us to survive the vaunted Dragon torpedoes and the oxygen venting."

"That's all just common sense in space fighting, besides I fought only one major battle and that was last year at Barwhon IV."

"You did shove the Jurai off the planet and made operation Hammerhelm possible."

"Only because the Jurai were operating at the end of their supply lines, if it weren't for the vastness of space and the fact that the Cathoons tie down 80 percent of Jurai's Navy, we would be overrun by now."

"Yeah, I'm still surprised we control 500 light years of the Orion arm and how every area is a navigation hazard except for our phase jump which the Jurains don't have. Only if the phase jumped worked where they haven't marked with a beacon, we could have hit Jurai in a suicide strike."

"Don't worry Halsey, it is only 2356 A.D. and we will soon carry the fight into Jurai once we cleaned up their fleets we cut off. I know you look forward to it."

"Each Jurain fleet contains 12 2nd Generation Trees classed as Battlecruisers supported by 4 times as many 3rd Generation ships. That will be a lot of anti matter."

"Yep."

……………………………………Jurain HighCom HQ……………………………

The Emperor of Jurai looked down at his Admiral. "Admiral Calus, for incompetence and stupidity, you are sentenced to death." With that Emperor Azusa cut the Admiral down for his failure to hold the Muterian Nebula. "Funaho, what does the intelligence directorate have to say." Azusa asked his first wife.

"The humans were far more powerful than expected and seem to have the ability to flood an area with reinforcements. Furthermore, after initial fleet engagements, they engaged our shipping and learned of our supply weakness. Then they exploited it."

"Azusa maybe we should call a truce, they have destroyed 30 fleets worth of ships. Otherwise we will have to redeploy our First Generation Trees from our inner border." Misaki told her husband.

"Then we will do so. Order 30 of our First Generation Battle Carriers and 40 fleets with all the supply ships you can find to the Pegasus Station. From there will retake the Muterian Nebula. I'll be damned if we lose to the humans. Better yet, put the fleet under the control of Sasami and charge the humans with kidnapping Ayeka. Let us see the GP falter after that."

"Azusa, Sasami is only 8 years old. It was bad enough that Funahoe's son Yosho has disappeared, it is even worse that Ayeka is missing, and now you want to send my only remaining daughter to war?"

"Silence Misaki, you can still have more. Besides, the people need to feel that the Royalty is suffering along with them, now that anti-matter weapons are being used."

…………………………………..Regis Training point……………………………..

Commander Ruthenburg led his air wing against the Indomitable's Air Wing. Most of the 14th Reserve Fleet was new due to the Muterian casualties. In order to bring the newbies up to speed, mock fighting had been scheduled for the next 18 days.

"Beta 3 bank left"

"Athena, you just took a missile hit, go home."

"A Jurain can withstand a high gee turn better, so their favorite tactic is to jink high and risk a black out to get a perfect firing solution. If your radar indicates that, use your RCS to turn into his fire arc and kill him."

"Beta flight pull left to support Green flight."

"Careful, Blue 3, you scared all to death on the bridge with that stimulated suicide run."

"Commander Ruthenburg, it seems the newbies need a few more classroom hours for the Slade maneuver as half fell for it."
