"I believe that will be all." Graal pushed the datacards across the table to Mattews. "These cards are encrypted, and you will receive the decryption key once you have arranged for the shipments of supplies and personnel to our space. "Now, if you would be so kind as to show me to my quarters. I nee...

Graal checked her pockets to ensure that she had the appropriate data cards, then nodded to Mattews. "We can begin now." ****Several minutes later, in the office of Daniel Mattews**** "I'd like to get straight to the point," Graal said. "As you may or may not know, I am a Bistrei, one of the people ...

"Welcome Negotiator Graal, a flight pattern will be forwarded to you to lead you to the capital. Do you require anything at this time?" "Some quarters to rest in would be more than welcome. Apart from that, I request an audience with your negotiators at the earliest convenience. I don't mean to imp...

Graal's ship moved out of hyperspace outside the system where the United Protectorates message had originated. Long-range scans showed signs of civilization on several of the worlds. Heartened, Graal pushed the accelerator forward and shot toward the system. "This is Negotiator Graal, come on behalf...

As the Eldest promised, the woman Graal arrived the next morning. She met briefly with Gail'tov and the Eldest and fully learned the decision of the chieftans. Gail'tov then showed her a message that they had received from the United Protectorates just that morning: a declaration of war, and a call ...

Gail'tov sat in his quarters, brooding. He had won a great victory two days past, but that was but the first battle in a very long war. The chieftans had agreed to war, but that had not placed them any closer to actually throwing off the yoke of the Tomari. So much was left to be done, so much neede...

I don't like dealing with images, so if someone can add me to the map (I'd be inside Tomari space, close to the center, maybe south-eastish) that would be great. Also, question. Does the size of the worlds in the picture reflect the relative size of the empire, or is it a way of indicating position ...

National Rough Draft The Bistrei are a sub-human species. They are shorter than average humans, standing about 5 feet tall on average. What they lack in size and strength, they make up for in quickness. The Bistrei are remarkably fast and agile, with almost instantaneous reflexes. They are incredibl...

Hello everyone. Some of you I know, some of you I'm meeting for the first time. I did an STGOD over at SDnet a while back. Then I kinda faded away after the next few STGODs failed to hold my interest. But when I heard of a new forum with many of the same people I enjoyed seeing around SDnet and a ne...
