A first hand account by Cpt northdakota
LAVANITE, 24 HOURS AGO
UTF officer CPT northdakota was observing his fleet from the UTF armory station. He watches as bulk traders dock to unload supplies and manpower to stations. He glances toward the Adonis orbital defense drones over by the worm hole. An automated door opens and a man dressed in officers uniform walks in. Cpt northdakota notices who it is and stands at attenchion. It2, Sir! Says Cpt northdakota. At ease officer. replies It2 congradulations on the promotion to officer. You earned it well. he adds Thank you sir. Cpt northdakota Its amazing to see the culmination of teamwork isnt it? asks It2 refuring to the number of bases visable outside the airlock window. To think how far the UTF has come, is amazing. states Cpt northdakota as a bulk trader began to dock in the station. The entry door to the shuttle bay closed and locked and a cloud of steam hissed from the airlock as it opened. The massive bulk trader floated in and then stablized itself on the floor. The loading doors on the bulk trader opened and relesed several hundred workers, many of them carring multiple supplies of rations. The pilot of the ship approached Cpt northdakota. There was some delay on a few of the shipments and they should arrive with more supplies in a few hours. reported the tiny pilot. We should be able to hold till then. We need those shipments soon though. Can you get a status report on the traders comm? demanded Cpt northdakota Ill try. the pilot walked over to his ship computer. The speakers emit a loud buzzing noise and the screen fills with static. No signal. They must be passing through mimosa. I can never get a signal in mimosa. Your dismissed civilian. said Cpt northdakota It2, we may have a problem.

The first ship was a hotrod. Im gonna need a little more speed. he thought. Red leader diverted all extra energy to his engine. He was thrusted to the back of his shuttles seat as he felt the G-forces act on him. I hope you like plasma, cuz its coming too ya! Red leader shouted to himself as he fired a missile.It was a direct hit. He looked around to see laser firing everywhere. The bulk trader! realizing that he was tricked, he flew back to red ones position, only to find the ruins of his comrades ships and the debris from the bulk trader and its goods. No.........This.......I have failed. he thought .......I let them down. My tactical mistake cost them their life....... He sat in his ship vegatating over the bitter taste of defeat.
