The Great War
Battle for Deneb
2-28-2335

   The 3rd planet of Deneb was being bombarded by debris from destroyed terran and vasudan ships. There were over 15 cruisers, 8 destroyers, 2 science vessels, and countless fighters raging in the thousands of both sides. Reflecting in the deneb star is the devil himself, the Lucifer, a shivan superdestroyer with it’s pitch dark hull with the color of red blood that represented the lives its took flew threw it like veins threw a demon. The ships huge structure eclipses the star from the surface of the planet. Many ships were fighting including a wing of terran medusa bombers fly through massive waves of shivan fighters firing their weapons, the  bombers are gone in a matter of minuets. Another fighter is trying to loose a shivan tightly on him. Shifting in turns through debris and smoke. Heavy cannon fire was all over the battle zone. And the Lucifer powered up its beam cannons and shot at a Orion Class destroyer which ripped a hole in the side of the ship slowly ascended into the sky above the green oceaned panet with deserts surrounding the land. The Hercules class fighter was still dodging fire from behind him. He hit his afterburner when a missle hit his engine causing him to fly towards the planet. He cried as he went deep in the clouds completely invisible. Then he grabs the thrust pulling the fly  stick towards him, swearing and praying he finallly gives up. He grabs a disk shaped device with a marble of light in the center, thinking “Im sorry.” kissing the device and disappeared beneath the clouds.

Thirty-Two years later....

   On the 3rd planet of Deneb, thirty-two years later, a desert presence filled the planet with destroyed buildings of Vasudan’s designs lay in ruins. moving across the planet were skeletons of   lives in the thousands that lied dead from the horrid day forever remembered. There were dead plains stretched to the infinite. Over a plain was a impacted crater and inside was a trail leading to a crashed fighter. A Hercules class fighter and leaning against the cockpit was a pilot with a disk in his hand. The disk flashed on and off a holographic projection of a lost man and his forgotten wife. And going up in the starry sky and debris is a terran Orion class destroyer with a hole through its side and the look of death in its eyes.

Eh, I dont know how we can make a story about someone who we know nothing about during the Freespace 2 campaign. I mean, you PLAY as Alpha One so there really is no descriptive way we can do this...

That's a pretty difficult beginning to work off of, imho :)

The difficulty with a community-made story are pretty large, though. Some people obviously have more talent than others, creating odd disparanges (spelling?) between each section, and continuity is another big problem.

That is what, in literature, is called personifacation. Anyway...

Alpha One stepped out of the lift on the flight deck while the other pilots filed out accordingly. Only five minutes ago the debriefing for the defense of two Iota Transports piloted by the Vasudans were damaged after a savage attack. The NTF was to blame for the attacks and as such the 153 Hammerheads were ordered to fly escort.

Alpha One climbed into his Myrmidon SSF and quickly sealed the glass cover shut. The other pilots in the hangar were ordered for sorties elsewhere, and Alpha's only wingman was Alpha Two. Alpha One was just another shakey pilot who was shipped out to become another rookie on the Aquitane. He was just a skinny guy with only a few mind sets and took his orders seriously without screwing around.

Alpha One was the first to hit his engines and burst out of the Aquitane and into free space. Alpha Two followed close behind and got a little ahead of him. There wasnt much to say to Alpha Two, except to follow his orders and stay the hell out of his way. Right now, all Alpha One could do was form on his wing and await orders. About two klicks out of the Aquitane, Alpha Two finally started to get to work.

You don't have to put "Alpha One" before everything. You could put "He" :p

Is it too much to hope that that was intentional irony? Or merely serendipity?

Whut?

I just thought it was kinda ironic, you commenting on one of the problems with multi-author fanfics being differences in spelling ability, and then the issue of the correct spelling of "disparities" coming up in the very same clause. You know, just somewhat amusing and such.

Um, yeah. Uh... carry on.

Well, yeah.  But, um, you need to use it appropriately.

I wasn't commenting on that. I was commenting on writing ability. Know what that is?

Yes. It just kinda seemed like you was listing spelling as one of the differences people might have (after all, I'd consider accuracy of spelling, punctuation and grammar for the form of English being used to be part of writing ability), and... oh, never mind.

Anyway, dude, chill. No need to get prickly. Why so defensive?

Plus, if you really want a good Battle of Deneb chapter, look here. Pretty good FS2 fanfic in all.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!
