Rebellion: Civil War II Chapter Ten

From his position aboard the Saratoga, Hague tried the best he could to direct the battle efforts. He was not expecting what was about to happen.

"General!" Ross called out. "We're getting a transmission from Earth, for you."

"Who from?"

"The President's office!"

"Of all the times for that bitch to call! Okay, put her through."

The small screen in front of Hague soon came to life with Servalan's image.

"General, I have new orders for you," she said. "Surrender."

Podley had left Magus alone in his office while he returned to his work. As Magus watched him working he began to see why he was so admired and respected by those who served under him. He could also see that Podley was a man of integrity, and perhaps that was the main reason Podley had agreed to help him.

Rebellion: Civil War II Chapter Eight

On board the bridge of the Saratoga, Commodore Ross sat nervously as they headed toward Wolf 359. Beside him stood General Hague. This was the first battle since the Minbari war ten years previously that Hague had taken part in, and he was still nervous.

Nearby, Colonel McQueen watched them both. He wasn't sure if this was a good idea, going to Wolf 359 in this way.

“My squadron aren't ready,” he said. “And there's hardly any of us left!”

“That doesn't matter, Colonel,” said Hague. “We need as many ships as we can get.”

“I tend to agree with the Colonel,” said Ross. “And besides, why wait for us at Wolf 359? Why there?”

Rebellion: Civil War II Chapter Seven

Pendragon had called a meeting of all the senior officers of the ships under the command of the Free Federation. They each sat around the huge conference table in the Observation Lounge. Sisko and Dax represented the Defiant, Sinclair and Shelby for the Lohengrin, Picard and Riker for the Enterprise, Winthorn and Scott for the Scotsman, and Tarrant and Koenig for the Tempest. Both MacCleods were also present. Pendragon stood at the head of the table, a grim look on his face.

“You will all know by now that Commander Blake has taken the Liberator to face the invading force,” he started. “And with the information that has come to me, I believe we should join him.”

“What information?” asked Picard.

“The invading forces now seem to be gathering at Wolf 359, probably to launch a large-scale assault on Earth itself.”

The Ops room on the Pegasus was still a hive of activity as Blake and Avon entered. From the Liberator they had been watching what was going on throughout the quadrant, but were somewhat surprised at the order Pendragon had given.

Blake was the first one to approach Pendragon at his station.

“Captain Pendragon, I'd like to speak with you, urgently.”

Pendragon was busy checking all the communications channels.

“Make it quick, Commander.”

“My crew and I have also been monitoring the channels,” Blake said. “And although we are under the flag of the Free Federation, we don't agree with your order. We must do something. We can't stand by and watch the Empire invade and take control of things!”

Rebellion: Civil War II Chapter Five

The away team from the Eden, consisting of Adair, Solace, Danziger, and Walman soon arrived on the surface of G-889. The sight that greeted them was a pleasant one. All around them were hills, covered by a plentiful supply of foliage life. It was the sort of place someone could retire to, an idyllic setting.

The peace was soon disturbed by a loud banging noise, and the ground beneath their feet shook with every impact. Alonzo began to scan the area with his tri-corder.

“I'm picking up something big a mile away from us, moving at an incredible speed. I've never seen anything that big move that quickly before!”

Rebellion: Civil War II Chapter Four

Just as the U.S.S. Saratoga moved slowly past the Norpin colony, its commanding officer, Commodore Ross, could not believe his eyes or his ears.

“How many ships are approaching us?” he asked.

“Over two hundred!” the Ops manager reported. “Sontarran, Imperial… and Centauri!”

Rebellion: Civil War II Chapter Three

Along the Narn/Centauri border, all seemed oblivious to the so-called invasion, because the forces of both sides were engaged in another battle of their own. Since the destruction of the Narn colony by the strange cloaked vessel, the war between the two powers had escalated, and in this particular battle, the Narns were having the better of it. Indeed, both parties fought so viciously they did not notice two hundred Imperial and Sontarran ships coming out of warp nearby, but they soon noticed them as they joined the battle on the side of the Centauri Republic. With over two hundred ships now against them, the Narn war cruisers had no chance. The battle was ended in a manner of minutes.
