Chapter 1-Prologue A.S 850
It has been fifty years since the first sightings of Nomads in the Sirius Sector and was dealt with by the legendary Freelancer Edison Trent. Forty years later, the wars with Kusari and Bretonia, Liberty and Rheinland, and the Outcasts and the Corsairs have finally ended leaving the fallen nations in serious conditions. Even though the wars between the greatest enemies have ended, a bigger enemy awaits
Planet New Berlin, New Berlin

Get back here! The merchant yelled as Ashton Rodburg the Bundshuh rogue ran off with stolen ship program parts. After running thru the streets of New Berlin for 5 minutes Ashton went inside his apartment, ran up the stairs to the 5 floor, opened his door and slammed it behind him. As he laid the stolen ship parts down on the wooden floor he laid down on his crapy couch to catch his breath. *ring ring*. Ashton got up and walked to the kitchen counter and answered his home phone. Hello? Ashton, did you get the parts? Yes I did, we got everything we need to get off the scum of a planet and return to our motherland. Excellent! Meet me at the abandon ship storage at the harbor. On my way Frank.

Thirty minutes later Ashton arrived at the abandon Ship storage at the New Berlin Harbor. Frank! Yelled Ashton. Over here! Ashton ran towards the second ship housing and walked inside the large metal door. Heres the last of the parts we need to get off this hell planet. As Ashton handed Frank the ship computer programmers. Alright there set, now lets get out of here. Frank and Ashton moved the ship out of the hanger and took one last look at New Berlin before take off. Odd to believe that we grew up here, now we are the ones the people hate.Said Ashton in a calm voice. I found some vodka laying around while looking for the parts.Said Frank, then taking a drink from the bottle and handing it to Ashton. Good bye New Berlin. Said Ashton while climbing aboard their ship. As they got aboard their ship Ashton saw something in space explode. What the hell was that? As they watched Oder Shipyard get destroyed, New Berlin Sirens went off and seconds later hundreds of Rheinlend Military and Police took off. Hurry get in! Yelled Frank as the ship was ready to go.

As Ashton and Frank left New Berlin they saw behind them the same ships that appeared fifty years ago. The Nomads! There back!While entering cruise speed they headed to the Dresden Jump Hole and saw behind them an entire Nomad Fleet attack New Berlin. Rheinlend Forces were no match for the Nomads as they were just flies in their way. While entering the Jump hole they got a glimpse of New Berlin. The Nomad Destructor gathered energy from Planet New Berlin and sucked in its atmosphere, and shot the extremely large amount of energy directly at the Sun thus destroying the Sun and along with the entire system. As Ashton and Frank made it to Vogtland base and landed they quickly ran to the bar and watched the news.

A horrible tragedy has just occurred minutes ago as the New Berlin system was attacked by the Alien Organisms, Nomads, and destroyed New Berlin leaving the system in complete darkness. But New Berlin wasnt the only system being attacked. The rest of Rheinlend has also been attacked by Nomads, along with Bretonia, and Liberty being officially wiped out. Rumors are that a black hole appeared in the middle of New York, Liberty where Nomads soon came out of and again destroyed the system. Nomads are attacking and theres no hiding, we must run! The only place were nomads have been stopped at is at Omicron Alpha, the Outcasts home system. If you are still alive, quickly get out of here and head to Omicron Alpha its your only hope. Its not going to be long before Kusari falls, and they start spreading into the Border worlds. This may just be the beginning of the end of Mankind.
End of Chapter 1

Chapter 2-The Escape
While Ashton and Frank leave the bar in Vogtland base Frank runs off to go get supplies. While Ashton waits for Frank to get back with the supplies for them, Ashton slumps down on their ship, and soon he hears a voice in the distance. Ashton! I s that really you? I havent seen you in years. Before Ashton could reply he had to think hard to remember who this fellow was. Dont you remember who I am? Said the stranger. Its me, Mikeal Lander. Ashton still unknowing of this fellow said Ohh yes, I remember you, hows it going. How can you ask Hows it going in a time like this!?! Said Mikeal in a stunned way. Well anyways arent you coming? asked Mikeal. To what? replied Ashton in a confused way? Everyone is loading their fighters on board the Heston, a Hessian Capital ship. If we travel in a group we will have a better chance of escaping, and I cant stay and chit chat all day were leaving soon, the Nomads have already been sighted in Omega-5. Said Mikeal taking off towards the Loading bay.

A minute or two after Mikeal left Frank came back with a bag full of Rations and water. Hey Frank, the Hessians are taking fighters along on board the Heston, and we should go, well have a better chance of surviving this crisis. Without hesitation Frank agreed and they both loaded there Fighter on board the Heston.

Thirty minutes after they loaded there fighter on board the Heston, they both went to the viewing floor with everyone else. As they made their way up to the viewing floor, sirens in the Vogtland base started sounding alerting that the Nomads were here. While the siren sounded the Heston undocked from Vogtland base heading towards the Omega-11 Jump Hole. On its way to the Omega-11 Jump hole a Fleet of Nomads appeared behind them and fired at the sun the same way they did in New Berlin. As they fired at the sun the people on the Heston panicked as they know what happened the last time the Nomads fired at the Sun. Hurry, were going to die here if we dont get to the Jump Hole in time! Yelled a man in the back about to lose his mind. As the Heston made its way to the Jump hole, about 4k away from the Jump Hole, a large Boom in the distant. As they heard the loud Boom thought the system the system darkened to a burnt oven. But soon enough they saw the remains of the sun heading towards them. The remains would destroy everything in its path leaving nothing but darkness and death. They docked the Jump Hole just in time before the molten hot flames of the sun destroyed. But as they left, like in New Berlin, they saw yet another system destroyed by the hands of the Nomads.

As they made it safely into the Omega-11 system they drifted into space towards the Omega 41 Jump hole hoping to see reinforcements from Fretial Base.

Chapter 3- Enemies to Allies

Omega 41, 18 Hours after abandoning Vogtland Base

Ashton and Frank sat at the dinning table in the lobby with plates filled to their head with chicken, rice, and fruits. In the meantime in the ships command floor, Admiral Jeckousky ordered his men to fly to the Omega-Theta Jump Hole in the Omega-41 System. While on their way to the Omicron Theta Jump Hole, the ship received a private communication link from an unknown source. Red Hessians do not go further towards the Jump Hole its a death trap. Who is this? Commanded the Admiral of the Hessians This is Lieutenant Major Victor Vandeliaz of the Corsairs, this is the one time we offer peace to end our rivalry for a hope of survival. Join us, and we will travel to the safe grounds in Northern Sirius. Why shall we trust the ones we seek to destroy?!? Asked Admiral Jeckousky of the Hessians in a surprised way. If you do not join us, you will be destroyed by the Nomads youre about the encounter at the Omicron Theta Jump Hole. Fine, we will follow, what is your position? I am uploading the coordinates to your neural net, please hurry as time is short before the Nomads are aware of our position. At that said the Hessians made their way to the Corsairs Dreadnaught ship by the Omicron Gamma Jump Hole.

After joining up in formation with the Corsairs, they made their way into Gamma where they were quickly joined with four other Corsair Dreadnaughts. While traveling to the Omicron Theta Jump hole a man on the com link announced Mankind is going extinct, the only ones left alive are the ones everyone despises, we will live on and prosper and rebel against these Nomads and drive them out of our land! With that said seconds later a fleet of Nomads showed up on their scanners near the Omicron Theta Jump Hole. Their here! yelled the Commander of the Hessian ship. And soon enough the loud speakers in all of the ships went off saying. All available fighters man your ships and undock, proceed towards the target area and defend your lives!

While other Hessian and Corsair fighters took off to fight the Nomads Ashton and Frank jumped into their fighter. Ashton took his seat in the pilot seat in the front of fighter, and Frank climbed into the turret in the back of the ship. Ready?Yelled Ashton. Ready! Ashton flipped the switches on the control panel and got the ship started and the weapons heated. After the ship next to them took off, Ashton and Frank took off right behind him. Hessians, group up! Yelled Hessian Commander Von Fecthor.

Ashton grouped up in formation with the other Hessians and looked around for the Nomads. All he could see was eight groups of Corsairs and two groups of Hessians. Where are they? Wondered Ashton, Units hold! Commanded the Corsair General. While the hundreds of human fighters held their position, seconds later the Nomads uncloaked surrounding them. Fighters attack the blockade against the Theta jump hole. Commanded the Corsair General. While the hundreds of fighters dispersed in their formation apart, the Corsairs and Hessian dreadnaughts made their way towards the Theta Jump hole as they had to flee quickly for there was over thirty Nomad Battleships surrounding them. Fighting for survival many Corsair and Hessian fighter died. There was no hope as progress in destroying the blockade seemed imposable. But at that moment one of the Corsairs Commanders spoke. Attention all fighters, clear the way. All other Capital ships, prepare to tractor my men aboard. Spoke Commander Hernandez of the Corsairs. Commander, do not do what you are planning on doing! Yelled the Corsair General. If I do not precede us will all die. Now prepare to tractor my men aboard. Farewell, may you live and take back our land. At his final words, Commander Hernandez ejected his men and drove his ship straight into the Nomad Battleship that was blocking the Theta Jump Hole thus giving the rest of the Corsairs and Hessians a chance to escape. Hurry men, he gave his life for us, jump through the jump hole and regroup at the other side.

At that said Ashton and Frank jumped through the Jump Hole to meet the rest of the Hessians and Corsairs at the other side. Quickly! We have no time spare for the Nomads will be right behind us soon. They would then make their way to the Sigma-19 where the fighters would dock on the Dreadnaughts. After going through Sigma-19 and going through the Omicron Beta Jump hole from Sigma-19, they were soon surrounded by the Outcasts.
