an old story I had in the back of my mind,
WING COMMANDER: INSURECTION
Introduction
50 years after the nephilim war, in which the galaxy stood united to destroy the third coming, the galaxy
has had unpressidented peace for half a century, is now once again on the brink of war...
Civil War...
Background
25 years after the third coming Militeristic Kilrathi clans in the Vukar Targ and Trk'Pahn sectors united and
split off from the kilrathi assembly of clans and went to a peroid of isolation for 20 years, they have emerged
as the second most powerful government in known space,second only to Confed. The Vukar alliance has
adopted an agressive stance towards the weak Assembly of Clans and have been performing raids on the
bordering Kilrathi Assembly systems. The alliance has signed numerous trade pacts and Friendship treaties
to the neighbouring "Border Worlds" in particuly the Dakota Triangle in Vega.
The Confederation has settled down, the fleet is in the process of being refitted and many older units
are being replaced, as a result the Fleet is spread very thinly.
Expansion into the Delta Quadrant has brought many riches to the Confederation, however on the extreme
frontier there has been evidence of huge fleet battles which appeared to of involved Nephilim ships. A large
portion of the fleet has been moved to the area in case this mystery war comes our way and because of the
fact that many ships in Dry dock the fleet as a minimal presence in Vega and Gemmini which leaves them
vunerable...
the kilrathi launch an attack upon vega its up to the remaining fleet (containing numerous war relecs) to hold out for as long as possible so the reinforcements can get there.
The Ship
TCS Trident CVZ-7
An Trident class fleet carrier currently the newest addition to the fleet and she is 1st in the line of a proposed compliment of 40.
She is 1000m long and has a fighter capacity of 100 and can hold a number of support craft on board she has a marine
detachment and a crew of about 3000. Moderatly armoured for a ship of her size, she shares many design traights with
the Midway Class. She has a large hanger with four exits and four launch tubes . She has a large complement of Vampires and Devastors on board and currently has 3 wings of 5.
A prety simple story in my opinion but workable, so what do you guys think of this premise?
