Star Trek: Terra Alpha

"No!" Kahlina yelled terror in her voice. "The treaty!" The Tamerale forces didn't waste a second after seeing the modern technology, and drew their Alliance issued phaser rifles, and started to mow down loyalist forces. A few were able to draw their own phasers, but most threw down their weapons, a...

"Tamerale holds the high ground," Kahlina grunted. Then there was a pause in the action. A body can only fight all out for so long. Foe and friend alike separated breathing heavily. Canteens of water were handed around, as medics drugged the injured off the field. Then as suddenly as the break had d...

A stinger surprised Kahlina, who hadn't had a chance to react. It sent her flying from the back of her own drilax. She hit the ground and rolled. Scrabbling to her feet with her lungs burning she took inventory. Everything seemed more or less intact. Her sword was gone, and the strap to her shield h...

"That would be a great idea," Kahlina replied, "The problem is that it violates the Treaty of Govan Prime. After our last civil war we agreed to fight all future internal conflicts using the old ways. To violate that treaty would be to invite biological weapons, murder and killing of civilians and a...

"I'll not negotiate with the pretender," Tamerale responded. He reigned his drilax and he and his lieutenants trotted back to their lines. Their drilax mounts lashed out with their stingers, but the strikes missed by meters. Kahlina sighed and slipped her helm on over her head and fumbled with the c...

His eyes glared a Arisu, "For your sake I hope you do not speak for your people. I will remember how you stood against me, instead of alongside me in the future." Kahlina was done being insulted, but she kept her cool somehow, "Lord Tamerale, if you go against me I will seize your lands, and every f...

Kahlina nodded, "It's a drilax." With that she reigned the drilax around and with banners flapping they approached the center of the field to be met by the opposition leaders. "Lord Tamerale," Kahlina said dryly. "Lady Breezecroft," he said coldly from behind the slit of his salet style helm. This w...

<Later> The battlefield stretched out before them. Infantry were mounted on electric motorcycles. Their polearms clashing incongruously with the modern and the ancient. They halted pushed out the kickstands and double time marched to the front line in orderly ranks. Even more jarring were the kite s...

"Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that. Traditionally we would fight these battle with traditional weapons." She shrugged as the squire belted on the various articulated plates of armor that covered her legs. The metal gleamed under the soft glow of electric lamps. The edges were decorated with p...

"Do it. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. No one wants a civil war. T'rek have my old regiments meet the enemy." The aging Narlin bowed his head. "Of course your grace." "Get to it," she ordered. She winced in pain as she stood. "Master Jase'dasis why don't you stay close by?" She pressed a button...
