Chirr'T'Thar (By Coper) The Enemy (By Zilvar) | Turf War | Deep Space | Two small Chirr'T'Thar Scout Ships are ambushed by an unknown enemy. The enemy ships pretend to be asteroids, using only passive sensors. When they do attack, a swarm of strike fighters pours out, while the escort ships protect the much larger carrier. The two little scouts put up a valiant fight, taking out many of the strike fighters, and one of the escorts, but they are hopelessly outgunned. The captain of one ship orders a junior officer, Tanjit, to strap on auxillary oxygen tanks and leave the ship. After the enemy ships leave the system, the lone female Chirr'T'Thar makes her way from the scene of the battle, hoping to transmit a warning and get help before she perishes in space. |
