Lieutenant Adrianna Hyksos stared blankly at her monitor. The elegant dance of Jupiter’s many moons as they circled the gaseous giant made for a spectacular scene. A spectacular scene that Hyksos had seen over and over for the past 2 weeks. With a sigh, she brought up another beautiful image: this time the rings of Saturn were diffracting the Sun’s rays into gorgeous patterns of oranges and yellows. Patterns which the lieutenant found all too familiar. Disgusted, she punched the control pan

Bloody brilliant. Deliciously deranged dodos doing dastardly doings. Danger! Danger! I await the first encounter between the mighty dodos and my far inferior Terran Starfleet with trepidation... truly, that day shall see great justice done unto the heartless humans. I'll see you in the stars, Son of Darius.
Keep up the good work, Suralle. The Kat Lords are purrfectly intriguing. Ignore that atrocious pun... I couldn't help myself. But why oh why are the terrans so ... dim?

anyway, if there's interest, go 'head and read this communique in context. Link I'm not sure how to use this link-y thingy, so I hope that works. Anyway, I just finished my last round of exams, so I've been channelling my residual verbosity into some GalCiv2 fiction fluff. In short, there's plenty more where that came from.
happened to Beckett. happened to Gaddis. happened to Joyce. I heart Beckett, but Joyce requires a very specific mood...else I find him too obtuse. Thank you for the votes of confidence, BTW... ...And speaking of web-speak acronyms: <TD
I am relatively new to the forum-world. The acronym PBEM is unfamiliar... As to role-playing, I was never that kind of geek (no insult intended, I was simply of a different denomination). But, yes. I suppose when I wrote this I was "playing" the good Cpt. of the Bellicose, and the reader stands in for either the Admiral or someone else with access to the comm log... Anywho, this post was a mistake... read the one titled "The Second Drengin-Terran War -- Military History" for the rest
hehe... ignore this post, it was a mistake... dunno how to erase it, though. Sorry, all.

What follows is a little fictive narrative of a battle between the Drengins and Terran Starfleet forces. I found Suralle's stories of his Kat Lords and their exploits rather entertaining, so I endeavored to write something similar - something that did not feature his imagined Terran-Yor alliance (perish the thought). Anyway, this is what happened:
The above is just a sampling of some ship registries I prefer to use in-game. I figure one of my fellow geeks trolling about the forums might find one or two that he/she likes. Does anyone know of a place to post fan fiction? I read Suralle's stuff about his custom civ, the Kat Lords, and it inspired me to pen some stories featuring my version of the earthlings (so much time on my hands now that finals are over). Anyway, enjoy. Or don't. Whatever. <img src="http://im
