The Black sun armada
![[Image: tribaltattoo.png]](http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/6066/tribaltattoo.png)
For Honor
Black Sun regiments of foot soldiers and riflemen dedicated to the cause all these men and woman are highly trained in there given field most of these souls are the best or among the best at what they do; trained to be relentless these soldiers are ideal for harsh and tough environments training in the fields of Troyes with thermal suits. they have learned how to endure and survive in the toughest situations, those that have not learned how have not been seen or heard of, those who encounter these soldier rarely live to talk about it.
For Truth
The Black Sun Armada, after breaking off from the primary fleet, became an almost religious fleet of ships talking about Honor, Truth, Faith, remembering the dead and fighting for the living. This was a surprise for those that knew the young leader Christopher Dangen, because they knew he was not the religious type, more being a soldier than anything. He was not known to be diplomatic or social able, he was known as a fighter, and many thought that's all he could do. In fact, in truth, so did he but after splitting off from the primary fleet and successful talks with the Le conseil and the IMG, it was apparent that he was learning quickly.
For Faith
The main objectives of the Black sun armada also known as the Cause or Faith is the idea that they are the defenders, defending humanity from the nomad and phantoms although the Order the fleet in which they broke off from has the very same goal they also have 'distractions' with the navy and LSF watching there every move and the bounty hunters trying to destroy the fleet so they can try get there greedy hands on nomad weapons and technology.
For the Living
We barely know about the worlds or the other races that are out there all we know is the great darkness of space but all we know is Love war and violence and we have been paying the price we are at war with each other as the forces that try and bring the down fall of humanity get larger we only continue to bicker over pride while they get larger and bolder starting to attack more and more they are becoming more and more unchallenged leaving them to attack more and more as the bounty hunters and navy distract the Order from its true objective as they lay untouched they spread into the Kusari system gaining a foot hold as it start to kill all in there way as many fell to them the Order was still having to deal with the bounty hunters who attacked daily soon as more and more of the governments become corrupted by there influence and eventually, one man got sick and tired of the inner fighting and broke off and went into exile but curiously the Order did not go against the young leader as he start to gain numbers in his fleet they become a force that would not be easily wiped and they were starting the counter the endless tide of the nomads and Phantoms they became unyielding and relentless as the Black sun continued on there quest as the weapon of the human kind field by faith, faith in the cause.

Flag ships of the fleet
Black sun
The Anubis was one of the most loyal and longest serving Order primary sub fleet, Originally consisting of a heavily modified Osiris class prototype which was outfitted to be a more of a battle command having a war room and various other classified rooms, its design plans were only kept in one place within the sips data base AI its self only the ships creator and designer having been able to access such information not even the grand admirals allowing clearance to all the ship or accurate and full spec's to the ship, this ship was well known for being a leading offensive vessel for the fleet but during a unforeseen event the ship has currently gone MIA rumours persist as it being the Black sun of the newly formed exiled fleet Black Sun Armada

Black Dawn was one of the leading cruisers in the Anubis fleet being one of the forward recon ships of the fleet giving real time images and tactical data instantly being uploaded to the battle net of the fleet, no one but those of the Anubis fleet had access to the battle net. But as time went on the ships were recalled to under go refitting, a Spy satellite showed two cruisers of the Anubis fleet downing the ships and its cruiser and using odd tactics with strange weapon placements. Those ships that were returned back to the order had all the data and equipment striped leaving them almost bare having only the basic's.

Black Sun Armada - Daerune - 01-15-2010
Opening combat operations profile: In a Wolves eye
"I don't know whats going on with me..... something has changed in my mental set that is making me.... frustrated angry sad.... I don't know what it is or why but I am starting to think violent thoughts...... starting to feel down in dumps. I think I need a few days off.... or something, every time I try enjoy something or have a pleasant conversation I cant.... not now because this one force of feeling is getting in my f***ing way its feels like I cant do anything right."
He deeply sighs closing the video log and locking the room to his door turning off his communications equipment and isolating his self.
Black Sun Armada - Daerune - 01-19-2010
He'd look away from the video link moving a pair of head set ear pieces up to his ears turning up the volume so that even the audio feed could pick up.
"He sigh starting speak again. "I need to get away...... I need to go some where to be alone.... away from everything..... at least for a while and just think..... just think about every thing..... everything that's going on..... think about my times with old friends, Ill set no course.... I'll just see where the stars take me..... where my intents take me, where ever that is it may help me.... who knows."
the screen would fade out

the screen would fade out
Black Sun Armada - Daerune - 01-22-2010
Chris appeared on the screen almost half asleep, yawning frequently as he spoke.
"Well….. Three days of constant flying and I have finally been able to lost the damn guard units, if only they don't need to be trained so good. And well there's been a spot of bad news, I am in….. the fricken Tau 23 system again…. Having to hide on Java station, I just hope none of them mind or care that a Order ship is parked in their station, no one seems to has had the guts or even try approaching the ship since I left. Watching over my ship for the last few hours has been a drag but meh least I know it and I are safe and no one would try and make off with my weapons, bah how am I even going to be able to get some food or water if I can't even leave my ship for a few seconds with out worrying about some one trying to snatch stuff from it. –The sound of his stomach rumbling would be heard- "Oh shu…… great now talking to my stomach….. got a dry mouth and in a environment I wouldn't even trust to leave a plastic bag laying around –he'd sigh- Meh stuff it, it will take only but a minute to get what I need."
He'd leave the screen leaving the Camera watching the ship. A woman would move towards the ship starting to inspect it in the time hes gone.
Black Sun Armada - Kaze Dagon - 01-22-2010
Location: Java Station. T-23.
Pauline McCoy, a security officer in Java Station was tired to watch the Order vessel. As she spotted the young man leaving, she quickly proceeded to do a quick inspect on the ship. With her button cam, she took several pictures, while looking around to guarantee she was alone. She also place a small transponder on the wing of the ship.
"Now, who will be interested in this?" She grinned.
Location: Tau-23, sector C-3.
On board the Evo 2B "Nyx" =CR=Kaze[44th].
"What a bloody day. Tee, do you have the gun-cam pictures ready? I need to finish this report as soon as possible." Said Colonial Flight Lieutenant Kaze Dagon, writing on her data pad.
"I do, Kaze. Transfering now......... Kaze, i detect a unknown vessel. 14 clicks away." Tisiphone replied, Kaze's A.I. and probably the most trusted 'friend' she had in her life.
"Damn!" Kaze threw the data pad to the back of cockpit, resounding in a loud thump as it hit a console. "Damn! Tee, power up engines, full power to sensors and keep the Vamps warm. Never know when we might need them." Kaze positioned herself right and buckled her seat belts.
The Nyx rumbled to life, and proceeded to a circular round to pick up the general direction of the contact.
"Kaze, direction A2. Still not enough data on target." The A.I. female disembodied voice crackled on the cockpit.
"Extrapolate on known data, Tee. I need to know what we are up against." Kaze replied, pushing her engines to the limit.
"Extrapolating................. Finished. Order-015A 'Nephthys' vessel. Unknown IFF or ID. I still need more data, Kaze." Tisiphone replied, her bio-processor array working full time.
"A Nephthys? Here? This doesn't feel right. Tee, safety off." Kaze said, mashing the console button to remove weapons safety. "And prepare a message to Java with my voice and codes about immediate assist on our position. Send it when i tell you so."

Black Sun Armada - Daerune - 01-22-2010
As pauline MaCoy was taking photos and snooping around Christophers ship the door would silently close behind her trapping her inside, her equipment starting to go funny as she spent more time in the ship. Christopher would watch the ship from the outside not knowing some one was inside the ship. eating a ration pack he'd sit on the wing of the fighter, taking a drink from the water bottle he looked around the stations docking bay, seeing engineers working on the IMG ships, he'd hold his hand up to his mouth as he starts a recording. "Well that tasted like some one threw that in a dung pile and then gave you water from a muddy puddle...... who's to bet in a few hours it will be coming up instead of going down." He'd shift positions now laying on the wing. "At least it was something though..... I've really gotta remember to stock up on things like that, sure bring enough weapons and ammo to space a battleship and have enough medical kits that would've been able to patch up Leeds three times over……. The one thing I forget is the damn food and water. Bah." He'd sit up starting to fiddle with the guns on his fighter.
As Kaze closed on the Nephthys guard fighter it would turn towards her vessel still way off in the distance and after a few seconds its signal would be lost, then two signals would appear on the far side of her from both directions, as Kaze turned her ship to face the ships they were not there the two signals merging on her vessel and the fighter that was off in the distance was no where in sight. It had vanished during the time Kaze as preoccupied with the fake signals.
Black Sun Armada - Kaze Dagon - 01-22-2010
Location: Tau-23, sector A-2.
On board the Evo 2B "Nyx" =CR=Kaze[44th].
"What the.... Tee, what the hell just happened?" Kaze asked, as her sensor H.U.D. went balistic.
"Extrapolating on available data.......... Done. Sensor distortion relays were deployed. Then it self-destructed. Our main contact took the chance to disappear. Probably a cloaking device. Whoever it was..." Tisiphone replied, booming her voice through out the cockpit.
"It's gone. A escape mechanism. On a somewhat deserted area of the system. Great. Pin point Java, Tee. I need to sort this out." Kaze replied, pushing the throttle to the max and turning in the general direction of Java.
"Understood, Java Station locked." Tisiphone replied.
The Nyx accelerated and engaged it's cruise engines.. Confused and with a bad feeling nagging her head, Kaze silently brooded about this weird encounter.

Black Sun Armada - Daerune - 01-23-2010
with the lady still thinking shes in no danger as she doesn't know shes trapped within the ship, Christopher would go off again still glaring at the people around as he moves, returning with a can of black paint starting to climb up his fighter with relative ease. as got on the top of it he'd start to hand over one side starting to paint a figure on it (see avatar) still watching as others would watch him and what he was doing even the security guards, he store at them for a while before continuing, speaking in to the recorder. "A female guard is missing and I could see the only exit from where I was, somethings up, there all on edge....... they wont stop looking at me." He'd finish one side then shift around so he could do the other side keeping a eye on them, silently opening the jettison and climbing in side with out a noise, not noticing the guard behind him as he moved a compact small metal plate to his back then grabbing a assault rifle before strapping on two plasma pistols. turning around he'd see the woman, hoping on the bench behind him he'd watch her for a while before finally saying something sharply. "Whatca doin over there Missy."
Black Sun Armada - Kaze Dagon - 01-23-2010
Location: Tau-23, Java Station.
Kaze exits the Nyx still immersed on her thoughts when she looks at the bay. Almost empty. She picked her data pad and checked if anyone from the Colonial Fleet was in. No one. As she went down the list, a smirk appeared on her mouth. "Go figure.." Kaze started walking to get to the bay where a Nephthys was docked.
As she approached the bay doors, she reached her custom made katana, and prepared for anything that would be from the other side of the door. She used her Colonial ID to open the door, and silently entered.
And what she saw puzzled her for the better part of those five seconds.
A young man grabbing one of the Java security officers by the arm. And then she saw the Nephthys.
As the young man pushed the woman to the ground with an expert arm lock, he whispered something at her ear.
"Hmmph.. Pauline. Looks like you have too much to bite this time." Kaze thought as she moved silently around the bay, hiding behind the several supplies and broken equipment around.
"So Missy.. What were you doing here on my ship?" The young man asked pushing the lying woman's arm.
"I'm with the Java Secuuuuuurity. Auuuch. Don't push!" Pauline replied.
"And what is Java Security sniffing around my ship?" The young man tried to coerce the woman a little more.
Suddenly a blade came to his throat, and a soft voice whispered at his ear.
"Don't worry.. Pauline here is the local information dealer.. She's harmless. Let her go, please.... Now." The blade pressed a little more against the man's throat.
The young man released the arm lock and got his hands up. Kaze removed both his guns and threw them inside the opened jettison doors. She then grabbed the rifle with her spare hand and threw it too to the ship.
The man tried to use his hands to get the blade's owner, but Kaze kneed his spine sending a electric jolt through out his body. "Don't do that. I'm just making sure our conversation don't ends badly." Kaze whispered again, grinning.
The lying woman started to massage the her shoulder and got up. Looking at the one that caused her pain, she moved to sucker punch his face. Kaze drew her Detroit LSF Needler MKII, and pointed at the face of Pauline.
"Tsk tsk, Pauline... There are two things i hate.. Outcasts and pirates. And you my friend.. You help the pirates sometimes." Pauline's face went pale when she realized who the woman was.
"Flight Lieutenant, you wouldn't shoot a member of the Java Security detail, would you?" Pauline was entering a state of panic. "That woman blasted half of the bar and got four of us bed ridden for two weeks all because of a freelancer pirate that docked here. Not to mention i was the one that got him the papers in the first place. Oh frack, i'm dead." Pauline thought looking at the barrel of the lazer pistol.
"*Coughs* Ahem, ladies?" Asked the young man.
"Shush, Mr. Nephthys. You and me will talk. But not now." Kaze whispered some more on the ear of the young man, sending shivers down his spines.
"Answering to your question, Pauline.. Yes. I would. I've done it before.. And i will do it again because all that i shot.. Or maimed.. Deserved it. Now.." Kaze grinned. "Get your comm and call Mr. Parkes. Then.. Turn around."
"Oh frack oh frack! She's going to kill me!" Pauline thought. Her trembling hands reached the small comm device and her crackled voice said a"Mr. Parkes, please come to Bay 3. Over and out."
"Now turn..." Kaze grinned. Pauline slowly turned, afraid for her life. Kaze pushed the man to the ground and said: "Hands behind your head." The young man complied obviously not amused. Kaze holstered her gun, and grabs one of sync cuffs that Pauline had, and snapped one to her right wrist. And then she snapped the other on the young man right wrist to. She pressed the command button to zip up the sync chain and both of them were now almost glued to each other.
"There.. Peace and quiet." She sheeted her katana and smiled. "I'm Colonial Flight Lieutenant Kaze Nelson Reidman Dagon... And who might you be, Mr.?"
Kaze exits the Nyx still immersed on her thoughts when she looks at the bay. Almost empty. She picked her data pad and checked if anyone from the Colonial Fleet was in. No one.

Black Sun Armada - Daerune - 01-24-2010
Chris would be bemused being stuck to the person that was just trespassing on his ship he looked at the other pair of cuffs in Pauline and the key he took them both sliding the key up his back as if scratching putting under a single bulky armor plating that wouldn't be reachable unless you were able to open the small compartment that now hid it. "You know we all need to stick together, Jim lights." the lights would turn off as he moves like lighting kicking her pistol out of its holster and onto the floor with the same foot kicking her katana away as his freehand cuffed her right hand and the other one around the Chris and Pauline's one the three now cuffed together as Chris kicked away his pistols into his ship kicking hers further away leaving the three stuck together Chris being the stronger he sat down forcing them to lean over a bit. "First and fore most..... I am Christopher Dangen of the Black sun Armada secondly your not going to get that cuff off with out the key thirdly Pauline give me all the information on my ship because I swear to god if you don't I will do what I was trained from birth to do fourthly If you plan on trying to get information out of my Nephthys good luck..... my AI is the database so you would have to get past him before he just moves his self back to the Osiris which is most likely siting about -he'd look up as if counting- seven kilometers from this base looking for me and fifthly Kaze there is a reason I have not been killed yet." He'd cross his legs them now sitting in a triangular circle. "Also...... Jim's locked the doors and made sure they wont open so lets get to know each other Pauline what made you think you could get on my ship?"
