Could someone please give me a quick rundown of what's going on?There are so many new players and stuff.Darkwolf your usually pretty good at this sort of thing.

I don't really think this one can be done in a quick way, though:

Tonnes of bloody war

Apart from that, I've been inactive recently and haven't really been keeping up until recently, I'm afraid

Colonial Powers, A NRP of colonisation, conquest and diplomacy.

Or I could continue down my present course...

Hopefully the DIP will accept my proposition. Then, I can get down to trading!I hope that there won't be a whole Venice-vs-Genoa-like trade war between Argentaurumia and Corustaria. We in the Duchy prefer peaceful cooperation, but the purchase of Argentaurumian land and businesses in the midst of civil instability was not a step in the right direction.

Lol, trade war? Please...

The average bullet travels at 2,500 feet per second (around 1,700 mph). If you reacted to the sound of the gun going off and required 0.20 seconds (twice that of the fastest Olympic sprinters) to react, then you would need to be at least 500 feet away to successfully dodge a bullet. The problem is that sound travels at 768 miles per hour (1,126 feet per second)—about half the speed of the bullet. In this case, the bullet would hit you before you even heard the gun fire off.

That picture xD

Its irrelevant for me either way, I have his language from my little snacking at the outpost muhahaha

And their definition of food is any biological object, though they have a preference for sentient beings, as they love to acquire knowledge in addition to the actual mass it's self. So to be fair on duck, S'Ark didn't go "We want some of your food to eat", they went "We want some of your people to eat" xD

The fact that there is a large parasitic hivemind intent on consuming everything? And the Ethereals who keep on killing god knows how many civilians and turning htem into horrifying creatures.

How believable do you think "alien parasite which causes zombies" and "ghosts which are running round murdering shit" are without seeing it first time? I'm willing to bet they'd want hard proof...

The massive L'Er ship had yet another energy spike, and a single black beam from the center struck the focal point of the second beam. There was massive disturbance around the weapon as it fired... A large beam shot towards the planetary shield, obliterating a hunk of debris fron the battle that had gotten in the way as it touched it, completely annihalting it.

Another battleship again activated its pulse, sending the Sazkarjhit ballistical weaponry and delivery systems swirving off course. The plasma however, impacted the small battlegroup. Another ship drifted away from the group, its lights fading as holes melted in its side and the lasers impacted. The group diverted all power to shields and engines, and overclocked their reactors again, falling back away from their foes in order to better defend the transport craft, which moved behind the larger ship, using it for cover as it drifted towards the planet, firing its massive beam weapon.

The disturbances on the edge of the systen were replaced by more ships. 10 Craft drifted forwards, 4 more battleships, 4 smaller craft and 2 more transports. The smaller ships darted towards the EU battlegroup, taking up the right hand flank (From the perspective of the Iscandarian forces), the battleships moved after then, slower in their assault. The smaller craft seened to rely more on theor agility, darting in erative patterns a thousand miles apart. The same weapon type that had attacked the freighters opened fire again, causing unseen impacts on the EU shields.

The larger ships joined the second Draconian fleet, then moved past then and began to move around the left side of the Sazkarjhit fleet (from the Sazkarjhit perspective), opening fire with the thin beam weapons, hoping to destabise the Sazkarjhit shields and tear their craft apart.

The voice of thw S'Luk continued its attempts at psychological warfare. Its voice did hold an eerie and imposing air, certainly threatening, and disorientating due to its seeming disembodiment

"Even now, as your allies lend their aim they know this world cannot be saved. You are only waiting to be eaten. We are offering you mercy, the other hives would not in our place. Do you not feel lucky?"

The voice again echoed out through the Sazkar ships
"A new foe enters the battle. Do you not see you cannot save this world? Your allies are in denial, you must evacuate this planet to save as many as possible; If you do not then all shall perish in the coming fires, and not even their accursed magicians will survive to crawl blackened from the pits..."

And them to the Draconians
"Your assistance is much appreciated. Well Met! We are S'Luk of the S'L'Er. Or as the prey call us 'Parasite!' May this battle end in our total victory."

There was a slow whirling sound as the battleship that had ended its beam assualt activated its other weapons... And them giant holes were punched in the remote cargoshipsn releasing the antimatter and consuming the ships before they reached the L'Er. The "crack" sound from the firing of the weapons sounded a few moments later. The calculations must have been done in a fraction of a second to target so many of the cargoships before impact.
The remaining ones impacted with the ships, and crumpled on impact with the shields, the anti-matter spraying over the shimmering shields. The ships stopped their beam attack to divert their power to shielding to withstand the assualts. The balefires impacted with the shields, followed by the lasers, but only the shields of one ship failed. Fires erupted over its deck, and the lights along its lateral lines died as it drifted, dead in space.

There was another pulse, blasting back the physical weaponry towards the EU lines before it impacted

The largest ship finally did something. Seven large holes opened in a circle on the front of the ship and lit up, and a larger pne opened in the centre of the circle. A screech erupted, and black-blue beams from the seven holes met in the center. There was a glow from the largest hole as it began to charge up. Energy spiked at the device, and there was a link between the nearby star and the device, which seemed to be participating in an energu transfer

There were disturbances on the edge of the system, signs that something was about to enter no doubt...

The voice sounded out again

"It says 'Your kind come but they never leave; They do not understand the cosmos, how it gives life, and how it takes it. And so they die, and we grow stronger. The dead, now, the dead can not pass on their new found knowledge. So more of them come, keep trying to spread into the stars...'"

There was a silence for a moment as the device charged and the ships reinstated their core safeties, and began to transfer power back to weapons and engage once more with their beams. Then the voice continues
"What do you think, under your shimmering umbrella? That you might escape the coming fire? That shield will not protect you, and if you stay we will flood like water over your world, we will fill your holes and drown you. But we are not without mercy..."

Did you forget the complex magical projector part?

Duck has a point here. They are already able to shape the shields how they please, they can probably put a hole in it.

Of course, the hole will still be big enough to shoot through.
