From the ashes of the skirmish... Incognito, Azazel Vs DarkLStrike, fridge and jackjack reconciled their differences in the face of a common enemy; The Phantom.

On Turn 324, the once ramshackle fleet, overtly stretching across the entire galaxy, struck a combined blow. The Phantomforewarned withdrew to bide his time. After repairs, given speed was imperative, the fleet split up to cover more ground. Unbeknowns to The Alliance; the formidable Rismagi and Xiiro were watching, massing to The Phantom’s aide.

By 400, The Alliance in no short order had sliced through The Phantom, DarkLStrike was mobilizing to execute stealth frigate hit and runs and no less a second fleet had formed. However great minds think alike, Rismagi had already begun to disrupt Azarel’s shipyards with a stealth fleet, all the while suppressing fridge with his main heavy fleet, then combining that with The Phantom in ready to eliminate The Alliance for good. Xiirolikewise was mobilizing to strike at Incognito’s main shipyards.

Within 24hrs Xiiro and Rismagi had launched an onslaught deep behind Alliance lines, Xiiro in particular was running a muck with lightening speed. The Second Alliance fleet meanwhile advanced to relive fridge, yet quickly being bogged down against Rismagi’s adaptability, commanders had little choice but to cut their loses and punch their way to join up with the First Fleet.

The following turns spelt the turning of the conflict. Rismagi and Xiiro’s infiltration fleets eventually scattered, but not without leaving a devastating toll on both Incognito and Azarel’s key shipyards. The opposite story could be told of DarkLStrike‘s stealth fleet, which was launching similar raids on The Phantom with little opposition. During this chaos the Main apposing fleets passed each other in the night.
On seeing this, Rismagi ordered a full assault, whilst simultaneously retaking any gains the Second Alliance Fleet had made. But it was all too late, The Phantom had become financially broke supporting his long-idle fleet, and Xiiro’s last main assault was subdued.
The galaxy was littered with countless systems burnt to the ground, millions dead. To stop the bloodshed a seize fire was called. The Phantom and Rismagi were still in a position to put up an impressive fight yet this would have thrown both sides back into the dark ages.
The spoils went to DarkLStrike, Incognito and with Rismagi a close third. The subsequent unstoppable force of “unpaid tax” ripped through The Phantom’s fleet, leaving him consolidated in 6th.
An echoing call from this Galaxy was the repeat of such epic conflict which was answered in Galaxy Beta 100.
