It's great feedback though Kerubim so thanks-I will flesh out the whole Antares V angle but suffice it to say that this world is many parsecs away from Terran Space-a frontier world if you will-hence the rush by myself and my allies to conquer it and hence the lack of secrecy about it. I'll flesh it out though and thanks again :) Spdtristram thanks for your piece: I am not going to be including other excerpts in this story as I want it to be completely original. Also I am pl

Some excellent feedback here guys and thankyou all very much. :CONGRAT: [quote]If you don't mind a little bit of commentary. I wonder sometimes about the appropriateness of the topics to some of the characters discussing them. I understand the need to tell the story to the reader, but would the soldier in the transport know he is headed to Antares V? And if he did, would a letter containing that information ever make it past a military mail censor? Would a politician talk about the pa

So what do people think? I am quite into the different perspectives but am unsure what you guys reckon as there's not much feedback to go on. Shout and let me know guys... :NOTSURE:

[B]Captain's Log: Stardate 2 September 2236 Battlegroup Commander: Cmdr Serjuan Thom [I]AWS Rajan's Claw[/I], Lead Cruiser Rajan's Claw Battlegroup[/B] We have been ordered by Admiral Sinsa to make best speed to Antares V, which has annoyed me as it has meant cutting short 2 weeks of planned combat drills and battle maneouvres in Vegan Space. This crew (and this Battlegroup)is green...very green indeed. 272 souls there are on this ship: 8 short of our proper disposit

Ma I have embarked onto my Troop Transport and our great journey begins. If you could see the size of these spaceships you would simply not believe it! Myself and the rest of my Company are just one of some 1 million-yes Ma-1 million others that were loaded on at the bustling Orbital Spaceport at Xasica. That's 1 billion men and women Ma, in case you were struggling with the Maths. Scarcely believable, I hear you say and I would agree but for the intensive Transport Training that we

My dearest Fralla It was with such delight that I was able to visit you on Ceasar III last week-how you have changed since last we met! Your city and your planet have changed too-almost beyond recognition-which I suppose is about right for one of the leading planets in our fledgling Star Federation. We live in exciting times Fralla: who would have thought when we were growing up on backward Altaria 10 years ago that such adventures would beckon? You the Secondary Planetary

[B]DESPATCHES FROM AN ALTARIAN WAR CORRESPONDENT[/B] [I]Foreward I have been blessed with the good fortune to live at a time when we, as a star race, can reflect on the turbulent times that passed so many years before: you could say they were the fires that forged our Star Federation. We live in peace amongst our many allies now but it was not always thus. The wars that raged across the galaxy for many decades could have destroyed us: instead they gave birth to what we have
