Fighter Wing Straega

In a nutshell, this is an RPG where we will be flying space fighters. We begin our mission when a distress signal comes in from a human colony on a planet named 220. The colonists have been attacked by an unknown enemy, and they need help from the military. Our job is to fly down to 220, investigate what’s happening, and save any survivors we can find.

We’ll mostly be spending our RPG inside our fighter jets. They are equipped with four weapons each:

Vulcan machine gun – it sprays a lot of rounds everywhere and covers a wide area, but each individual bullet is weak. However, you can just hold down the fire button and you’ll spray rounds all over the place nonstop. It’s best for mowing down large groups of weak enemies quickly.

Laser cannon – it fires a continuous, high intensity laser beam that will pass through multiple enemies in a row, and with how the power is focused in one area you can do more damage to single enemies too. But you can’t spread the fire around like in the Vulcan. Each laser beam lasts about a second, and there’s a half second delay between shots.

Plasma cannon – This weapon can be charged to fire one big blast that will obliterate many enemies in just one or two hits. However, you have to charge it up for a few seconds before you can fire a big blast, and other enemies will probably overwhelm you during that time. It’s best used on big, tough enemies that don’t have the backup of small, quick enemies.

Rear cannon – This weapon is meant to be used when you have an enemy behind you. That way, you’ll have a fighting chance if somebody manages to get on your six. It fires small, weak plasma balls from the rear of your craft.

If you get shot down, the RPG can still continue for you if you eject in time…but…the enemy will be swarming us with its full force, and somebody without a vehicle isn’t liable to last long. Anyway, I will begin the story now.

---

Nail sat in the pilot’s seat of his Straega fighter, making last minute checks to his systems. He felt rather nervous. This was his first real mission, and they didn’t know what they were up against yet. Most communications with 220 had been knocked out very quickly, after the attack started. There had only been a few faint garbled reports here and there. And even then, when you could hear the people, they were talking too fast and frantically to easily make out.

What the hell kind of enemy was this, if it could attack with such lightning speed and wipe out a colony so quickly? It’s not like the colony wasn’t well defended… It had plenty of weapons and military to protect itself from space pirates and the like. So why had it been so ineffective at protecting them? And more importantly, could his squadron really do any better?

In any case, he was in the launch bay of their squadron’s carrier now, waiting for the rest of his team to move in with the other fighters. He really hoped he’d be set up with somebody who had more experience. The fox gazed at the other empty launch lines, as he waited. And then he looked down at 220 below, through the end of the launch bay. The planet shone back at him with a beautiful blue hue. It looked deceptively calm and soothing. Hard to believe there was a battle going on down there...

I may join if more people(who can RP) join.
Do you want to Brawl but nobody here knows your friend code? Do you wish to store your friend code somewhere so you won't have to fetch it? Do you want to make brawling easier and stop the random PMs from having to be sent? Then click this link.

The purple fox had finally found his way to the launch bay of the craft. Donning his olive drab flight suit.
He quickly made his way to pilot his ship, a gray fox whom seemed to be the only one here was already in his own ship. The two must have been early.
He moved his darker purple bangs out of his eyes, his hair reaching just past his shoulders was in a neat pony tail. He gave a thumbs up, with a smug smile on his muzzle.
Climbing into his own craft, strapped himself in. Flipping a bunch of switches and double checking his instrument. His craft was a golden yellow with black vertical stripes.
It's name was "Full Yellow Jacket" Mixing of the wasp and bullet casing.

Nail could her the short burst of static as Tancer began to talk to him over the radio. "Uhhh I'll be your captain to day, make sure to fasten your uhhh seatbelt real tight, we may uhhh experience some turbulence." Doing his best imitation of a commercial airplane pilot, This mercenary was quite the cocky one.

"Beg your pardon sir," Nail said...as he was careful to make sure to press all the right comm buttons, considering he hadn't been in these very much. "I may be a rookie, but I don't think this is a good time to be cracking jokes. We don't know who we're up against or what they want. Doesn't that worry you a bit?" He really hoped the rest of the squadron hurried up. Because every second they sat in here the more people down there would die.

His radio buzzed back, but this time it was the captain of the carrier. "Nail, Tancer...you two may have to go on ahead. The rest of the pilots are running behind, and we really can't afford to waste any more time We'll give the other pilots about five more minutes before we let you go."

Nail gulped. Great...his first real mission and he was already being thrust into taking a big role, more or less. Could he really do this?

The radio staticed again. "Eh, calm down, doesn't matter what worries me, Don't change spit." there was brief pause "The name is Tancer, me and Full Yellow here are itching to show what we can do, and if these flu boys don't down here we're gonna have to show just you."

Tancer firmly gripped the main thrust control lever. His engines came roaring on, making a whining sound as he eased fuel into the combustion chamber. His plane was still firmly locked down and thus did not move forward.

Sighing, Nail decided to check his systems again, just to be sure. There wasn't anything else he could do to change the situation he was in right now. As he did, he told Tancer who he was. "Nail Strafer...this is my first real mission."

A few times he glanced at his watch, nervously watching the five minutes tick away. Alas, they passed by without anyone entering the room. The captain came on again. "Sorry. We'll have to send you out alone for now. Prepare for launch. And no more flare ups in the launch bay, please." The ships moved on automated tracks into their launch positions. As they did, ALICE came online. ALICE was an AI meant to watch over all fighter squadrons on board this ship. She provided intelligence, tactics, and info to assist in combat.

Nail didn't like ALICE much, because he didn't trust AIs. They only did what they were programmed to do, and they didn't care about anything else. There had been a few well-documented cases where hackers took command of important AIs and wreaked havoc on other planets. He'd been told ALICE was the latest and greatest, but it still didn't sit too well with him. Regardless, she began speaking. "ALICE online...ships ready for launching. Launching in five...four...three...two...one....and go!" Nail's ship shot forward, pressing him into his seat. And now he was out of the ship, hovering above blue, beautiful 220.

Tancer always enjoyed the thrill of several G's forcing him back into the seat, a sort of rollercoaster ride if you will. His craft was slightly larger then Nail's standard fighter. With two distinct separate, each one looking more then capable of powering the ship on their own, it had an immense amount of thrust to boot.
Tancer opened communications with Nail again "look here, I am getting payed to be somebodies wingman, squad commander voids my contract. You're the only one here means you're in charge, noobie."
Tancer moved his ship with in visual range of Nail, up-side-down, he gave him a thumbs up. "Don't worry I got yer back, and a 50G reward for no squad members lost, so imma take extra care of you."

"#### me..." Nail muttered under his breath. Then he spoke at a regular volume "I never actually got any leadership training at the academy... But...okay...Just be ready to save me if I get in trouble, because I know I will." He pointed his ship downwards towards 220. The atmosphere caused a flare-up around their ships, upon entry through the stratosphere, but then it was over pretty quickly. They were now over the sky. Nail checked his radar for hostiles....but then got a very bizarre reading.

"Tancer, do you see this? I don't see any hostiles on radar...but I DO see a lot of friendlies. And it looks like they're flying towards us. But...if they were really in trouble, how come I don't see any enemies within a 200 mile radius of us, and yet the sky's full of our own ships?" The green blips on his radar baffled him. He fully expected it to be covered with red dots instead. This was very surprising, to say the least.

Tancer relaxed his grip as he broke through re-entry. His ship being bigger, it was harder to break through the atmosphere. For a few moments the Full Yellow Jacket was a bright red.
Tancer took a double take of his radar, It was mentioned that entry into the battle was supposed to be heavy, and contact with hostiles would take no longer then a dew seconds.
Something was wrong. "Eh yo, I got no bandits on my radar, you copy?"
There was something funny about the green dots on his screen, Tancer felt they where too well organized.

"No hostiles either...I'll see if I can talk to the other ships and find out what's going on." He tried several frequencies that he'd been told Planet 220 used. On each one, he said "This is Fighter Wing Straega...what is the situation down here? We heard you were attacked. Over..." No reply on any of them. Jamming signal? But that wouldn't make sense. He could hear Tancer just fine. But the friendlies were flying in to meet them very quickly.

Suddenly, ALICE piped in. "Friendlies...in attack formation. Moving to attack. Warning...warning...prepare to evade."

Nail's eyes bulged. "WHAT? They're moving in to attack us?"

"Attack formation confirmed," ALICE repeated.

"You must be malfunctioning. All AIs are unreliable."

But there they were...Nail could see a small squadron of five fighter jets...their own jets...flying right towards them in an attack formation. They were unmistakably planning to make an attack. Nail couldn't believe it...but he tilted his stick up to dodge anyway. And just in time. Several laser blasts flew right where his ship would have been.

"What the hell is going on? We came here to save you! Why are you attacking us?!" But he still received no reply on the radio. "Tancer...let's get out of here. We'll go through this ravine to avoid them!" Nail tilted his ship downwards...diving straight into a canyon of blue rock walls.

Tancer was in a bit of shock himself. Preforming a barrel roll down and to the left, he managed to have the vulcan fire barely scrape by him. He plunged his nose down taking a dive towards the ravine. He pulled up, skimming his plane over the crystal blue water under him.
"This is just great, are we cleared to retaliate? Or are we just sitting ducks!"

The captain on the ship replied. "It's strange...we're running a scan on the attacking friendlies. There are no humans aboard any of them. It's like they're flying themselves."

Nail rolled his eyes at that comment. "Maybe it was a rampaging AI hit by hackers again..."

"That's enough about AIs Nail. In any case, you are cleared to destroy the pilotless aircraft if needs be. But your main objective is to get to the 220 colony and investigate the cause of this disturbance. This ravine will take you all the way to the spaceport, and from there you can follow the freight line to the city itself. Good luck."

Nail sighed. "Sheesh...I hate AIs..." In any case, the fighters were now diving down behind them. Nail changed to his rear cannon and started firing, using a monitor on his control panel to see where he was shooting. Looks like he got one or two of them so far...

A smile formed over Tancer's muzzle. "Read that loud and clear." The purple fox grabbed a second lever to his right, next to the throttle. He yanked on it rather hard, it was battle time and he expected a fight to the city.

"Lets rock."
Tancer's ship began to creak and moan as something started to shift. With in a split second the entire craft seemed to fold in on its self, giving way to a new form. A humanoid machine in the air, the main cannon of Tancer's ship now held in its right arm. Its left arm crossed over placed on the right, to stablize the gun.
With one swift motion Tance, swept his gun across the remaining air ships, Downing all but one. The last one having enough time to react.With a short burst he made sure that one was too grounded.
In another second Tancer had his ship back in plane mode, his thrusters fired up creating creating enough thrust to catch up with Nail. The mech mode while powerful in combat, had little areodynamic capabilities.

Nail whistled when he saw that. He wished his ship could be that way. The captain spoke again, "Don't get too excited down there. Another threat's on its way...this time from the front."

"What is it?"

ALICE spoke for the captain, "DH-3...codenamed Dog House. Releases small pods called "Dogs" designed to sniff out and find mineral deposits in the 220 wilderness."

"220 is a mining planet," the captain explained. "They use the Dogs to find new places to mine."

Nail thought that didn't sound so bad. "So...wouldn't that mean they're unarmed civilian machines?"

"Nail, aren't you forgetting? This is the frontier. Nearly every ship out here is armed with weapons to protect from outlaws and pirates. The Dogs are weak and will go down in just a few shots...plus they only have one tiny plasma cannon...but you'll get attacked by hundreds, maybe thousands of them."

"Well...####..." And then he saw the Dogs coming from up ahead. Tiny little yellow ships, kind of shaped like jacks. There were so many of them it looked like a buzzing cloud of bees. Nail switched over to Vulcan and opened fire. "Hey Tancer! You may wanna get up here!"

Tancer moved his ship down, Full Yellow jacket was but a few feet from the ground. Separating the water from the force of his thrusters. "Nail, get as close to the ground as you can. We don't got much time before they get in range. We'll never survive the volley."
It was a good thing the dogs had a shorter aquisition range then Tancer or Nail.
Tancer had his laser equipped, firing off a few burst in to the cloud of metal heading their way.

Tancer's laser didn't seem to have a noticeable effect in quelling the approaching cloud of Dogs. It was kind of like poking a stick into a mess of bugs. You'd knock some away, but then others would just fly around the stick and fill the empty space.

Nail dived down too and was firing on full auto with his Vulcan. Considering the bullets had a wide spread pattern and the Dogs went down in a few shots, it had a bigger effect. A hole was opening up in the cloud from all the shots. "Tancer...use your vulcan. That seems to have a bigger effect."

But now some of the Dogs were trying to fly around the spray of bullets and do kamikaze attacks against Nail. One Dog clipped Nail's wing, sending him into a sickening spin. A few more feet and Nail would have probably crashed in the water in the bottom of the ravine...

(Hmm...do you have profiles for them? Also, maybe it would be a good idea to cut down to two characters, so the RP doesn't get overcrowded. Last thing...you can tell that this enemy operates by taking control of machinery. So pure machine character might have to worry about getting "infected", you could say. Just expect it the enemy to try that at one point or another XD)
