Phoenix: BSE



Phoenix is a science fiction game on an awesome scale, combining the best of roleplaying and strategy in an ever-expanding universe.


With human moderators on hand, any action is possible. There are myriad plotlines to be explored and secrets to discover. The game is under constant development, with new options added from player suggestions.


You can strike out on your own, and live by your wits in a hostile universe. Or you can join with like-minded players in a player-run faction, and build a civilisation amongst the stars. The choice is yours.


A thousand roles are possible. Will you be a simple trader, peddling goods from planet to planet? Or a fearless explorer, risking unknown worlds in search of incredible things? Or maybe you will be a warrior, and your warships will turn worlds into dust.


In the world of Phoenix, actions have real consequences. You can champion law and order, or grow rich from pirate raids. You can build an empire, or bring one down in flames. You decide your destiny....although your enemies may have other plans.


Starship positions are free to run, and you can sign up today.

Assassination!

Shocking news this week, as the RIP issued the following press release:

It is with great sadness and regret that I have to announce the following news.

At approximately 12.30 hours today RIP Periphery Director GT Spugman was assassinated by agents of an unknown power.

This act of callous murder has left the RIP without it's brilliant, vibrant leader and we all feel sadder for that fact.

Our thoughts go out to his family... wherever they are.

A book of condolence and remembrance will be placed at the Jiggly Room for public expressions of grief.

From this time forward RIP Emergency Protocol Two will be initiated.

Mona Luvsitt
Secretary to the office of the late GT Spugman - RIP PD.

War!

Perhaps unsurprisingly following the outcome of the duel, the Dewiek Elder Nation have declared war against the House LiQuan.


Meklan Scandal

The Meklanisation of the Baron LiQuan continues to cause shockwaves this week, with the Baron forced to make the following public statement where he confesses that he has indeed had himself converted into a Meklan, and that it wasn't a look-a-like that took part in the duel against Eldar Silvermane.

Confederacy On Brink Of (further) Civil War

From the IMP News Wire:

Showdown at House LiQuan enters its third week.

Our vid-man using his long range scope has caught a glimpse of Viceroy Krieger behind the Imperial barricades. Making his stand with the Empress' Isobella's Bodyguard and the rest of the Imperial Enclave.

In a recent action, a large Confederate Naval squadron entered orbit. Several ships landed at House LiQuan's starport and a delegation of heavily armed veteran troops of the Confederate Navy went straight to the Imperial palace.

RCF Ground Force Stomped

From the GTT News wire.

GTT Lewis Downtime R1 was attacked by an RCF ground party consisting of 6 Kastorian Crew and 76 Kastorian Mercenaries. But the rebels found themselves on the wrong end of the tiger and were completely wiped out by 50 Aquaphid Marines. Only 11 of the mercs managed to survive the first round of combat. GTT forces have said their only injury was Private Bkkmar who stubbed his toe during the celebration after the battle.

IMP Attack In Halo

A large Imperial-Bloc operation has taken place in the Hittite system against RCF and COH facilities.

A very large number of IMP/GTT ships have entered and closed down the Hittite system in the Halo periphery.

First target to be hit was the COH base which has taken several days of fire. Some RCF ships were ordered to help support the base but found that the quads have been filled with IMP/GTT warships.

Some fighting saw 7 RCF ships destroyed (5 warships) and a number take damage.

House LiQuan

The Baron Liquan has released the following terse statement to the press:

"Due to the growing rift between the Imperial block and House Liquan we have ended are alliance with all the Imperial affiliations. Thank you for your time."

When bombarded with questions on what exactly this meant, the good baron was kind enough to elaborate further:

"I have a few messages about what has happened between the Imperial block and HLQ. So I don't have to answer these individually I will explain HLQ's point of view here.

Crusade

The Flagritz have finally launched a major attack on the Felini Starbase Foothold, in the Crusade system.

A fleet of fifty or so warships dropped into orbit and opened a heavy bombardment with Nova cannons and batteries. Heavy damage has reportedly been inflicted.

Three Felini outposts associated with the base have also come under fire, along with a small squadron of SMS Escort Carriers that are stranded beneath the base shielding.

OPS Accused Of Slavery

Falconian News Networks are carrying the following story:

"A House Magpie Patrol was sent to attack OPS warships above the orbit of the major slave base Harvester Hive. The 8 Warships encountered a force of 10 200NH OPS warships and an imbedded 300HH HLQ ship (a different one to that reported before). In the first days battle the FCN ships damaged many of the enemy but lost a 100HH ship. In the second days action the FCN forces withdrew but not before destroying a 200NH OPS ship. The quad was reinforced by large numbers of additional FLZ, OPS and HLQ leaving other areas vulnerable."
