Project Red Star a far reach for the Revolution.



"Intelligence is there just to achieve what you want."
F. Dostoyevsky (1821-1881)

It was a harsh morning. Petrov was cleaning Radeks Command Seat. He went to the boarding room checked all lights, everything fine. He was alone inside the Radek, his crew had a day off and went for a "Vodka Take Off". Petrov went back to his seat and wanted to take a ride alone. Engines on, Power at 100%, taking off. Petrov. "Ah... What a quiet day!". He moved towards O-5 jumphole and jumped. But something weird happened. He had a ship the size of a Cruiser on his Scanner but it disappeared right after that second. There he experienced some malfunctions. After he went back for a closer look, there was nothing wrong, only a little overcharged sectors, high amount of electricity. But the systems "calmed" again after he reached Mykolaiv Research Station. The engineers made fun of him and thought he drank too much vodka on the "Vodka Take Off" day. Allthough he didn't participiate on that day, he was all focused on his Destroyer the Radek. Maybe he was tired... Maybe... He doesn't even remember if he realy started the ship into the direction of Omega-5, he was confused. Did he move to Omega-5 or did the ship move by itself? Whatever it was, it's gone now and he calmed. Though he still wanted to go out and complete that what he wanted to do for a long time. He moved to Omega-5, there he saw three Hessian fighters having trouble with the Order. The Order? What is the Order doing in O-5? Petrov saw Captain Guofeng on his Scanner. He parked Radek in a safe location and launched his Insurgent and regrouped with Niuzai Guofeng. They went closer and started talking with the Order. They had their new toy the Valkyrie with them. Not much happened but the Order left right after the little conversation. Guofeng moved back to Omega-52 and Petrov moved back to Radek. But it was gone! He was shocked for a second and wondered where the hell it could be. Petrov saw something weird appearing infront of him:



A beautiful Red Nebula. Suddenly he remembered about his Parents and his family. Their stories with Sol and the Red Star of the Coalition. How could he forget about his family and his history? They were the first reasons he joined the Revolution. He moved a little closer into the Red Nebula, feeling ashamed that he couldn't do much for his People. The Nebula disappeared. Suddenly he felt unconscious, floating in space...

"Petrov....!"

"Petrov.... Petrov... Petrov !!! Answer Comrade!"

"PETROV!!!! We khev no time for lazy Pilots!"

Petrov came back to his sences, wondering who this voice was. He couldn't belive his eyes, it's Dubovik! "Dmitry! Comrade what the khell is going on!?"

Dmitry: "Come on! We are fighting the damned Capitalists! It's Rheinland! They've come realy close into the Omegas Comrade!"

Petrov came back to his sences, not even having time to ask what happened to him he started his engines and moved to the Location. He had a nice picture infront of him, Hessians and the Coalition fighting side by side, only one picture popped into his mind:

With this strong bond they've defeated the fleet. The Hessians and the Coalition had a grateful feast after that and thanked each other. After that Petrov moved back to Omega-52. He was tired and went for a sleep, but he couldn't forget about what he saw. "The Radek!" he ran to the Capital Ship docking ports, there it was.



He was happy for the moment, but had a weird feeling. How did it come back? Well he was seriously tired and moved back to his bed. There he felt asleep.

"A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation; furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution."
Vladimir Lenin



"Мать! Где ты? Мама! Отец! Папа?! Не уходи!"



"Woah! What the..." Petrov stood up in the middle of the night. He saw the exact same Red Nebula in his dream as he saw on that day. But this time it was different, he saw his people, his family getting sucked away by the Nebula. Suddenly a ship came out of that Nebula:



He washed his face and thought about it again. Then he went into the library of Historic Books and Pilot Logbooks from the Sol Coalition.



Good, seemed like nobody else then the ones guarding the place were there. He searched for Sol Coalition Warships:

Krasnaya - Class 2 Carrier

Kurgan - Corvette

.... Czar - Coalition Supercarrier , was never finished. It wasn't complete back then when the Alliance vessels managed to sabotage it. However it was not destroyed, the ship has gone missing, probably got destroyed in the Sol War. Blueprints have gone missing of this Ship as same as any other Coalition Capital Ships.

"This is it!" He found the ship, it was the Czar he saw in his dreams appearing from the Red Nebula.

He ran down to the Radek and prepared everything to move out.

"I trust no one, not even myself."
Joseph Stalin




This was an important moment for Petrov. He went into Omega 5 and searched for the areas. But he wasn't able to find anything. He completely searched every corner of his Map, nothing. Petrov got disappointed but he didn't give up yet. The Carrier project of the Coalition was on going and he had to find something useful. He deeply is convinced that this was no coincidence. Right after they start the XKR-EV-TWO "Tempest" Light Carrier Project, he started having those weird dreams and encounters. There must be something.... There is something... He knew it.

The dream popped up into his mind again, he thought it over what that red nebula could mean:



It clearly symbolizes the Red of the Coalition Revolution. Also the Red on the Coalition Flag:



The Super Carrier back from Sol... He wondered what happened to it. Maybe it was not the time. Maybe now the time has come to build one. Maybe it wasn't meant to be finished back then. Not noticing what's going on, too focused on the thoughts, Petrov flew into deep space. All of these thinkings made him tired and he felt asleep, his ship floating in space to unknown areas.

"Life is good and it’s good to be living."
V.Mayakovsky (1893-1930)




Unknown Voice: "Petrov...."

Petrov: "Wh... Wha... ?"

Unknown Voice: "Petrov... There is no time, we have a project going on..."

Petrov: "Where am I..."

Petrov stands up inside an area which seemed to be a shipyard of some kind. He saw engineers and scientists working on a ship production. Seems like there were already some finished and still some that needed to be finished.

Nikolai Kerkov: "You finaly awake."

Petrov: "Nikolai! Never thought I'd see you right in the middle of.... Wait... Where are we?"

Nikolai Kerkov: "Mykolaiv Research Station."

He got it now, the ships infront of his eyes were the Tempest Carriers.



But how did he get here? What happened out there in Omega 5?

Nikolai: "I've come here for the delivery of the needed hull segments and ship hull pannels also other resources. Our trains did quite a perfect run after they heared about the Carrier Project. Finaly some good news for the Revolution!"

Petrov: "Nice job comrade. I'm sure you're going to continue the delivery?"

Petrov slaps Nikolai for staying there lazy watching how they're building the Carriers.

Petrov: "Get to work!"

Nikolai: "Allright, allright!"

Nikolai runs to his train and starts his engines continuing the delivery.

"The Right of Nations to Self-Determination"
Vladimir Lenin




It has been a long time since Petrov has been switched from the Army into the Commissariat and through his effort has become a Military Commissar. He still can't forget about his previous experience back then. The Red Cloud he was dreaming of... Some puzzles seem to fit together. Especially after the Scouting Mission inside the Cayman System.



The Red Clouds seemed almost identical with what he saw. Not only in his Dream, he also mentioned to have seen this in Omega-5, but he might've been halucinating. Petrov is a real healthy person, it's not like he would loose his mind over such events, he was also harsh and cold. His stamina according to others is very Solid and he's a respected Person inside the Coalition.



Petrov: "This is it... I'm definitly sure!"

Petrov displays the Pictures he did that day inside Cayman:





Petrov: "This has to be it! I can't think of any other System more identical to this."

As soon as he had a Document ready about his Project, he went to the Briefing Room where the Council of Commissars discuss their next moves.

Project Red Star. Coalition Commissariat.



"Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas."
Joseph Stalin

The Council of Commissars took the request of Petrov about the Invasion into Cayman very seriously into discussion. They thought it over and over again.

"No, this is too risky!" Replies one of the Commissars.

Petrov: "What risk!? It's the perfect oppurtunity!"

Petrov was very honest in his decision. This has to be done, it's the best chance and they had to do something in order to expand. This is not what the previous Coalition was, this is not their Ancestors remnant that once crushed the whole Alliance back in Sol. Even now, the Alliance is divided, while the Coalition since Sol has always stood united.

"Comrades, may I remind you which Nation we are representing once again?"
Petrov displays a couple of Pictures on the Projector:





"Those men didn't fear anything. So I ask you, are we realy loyal to our Ancestors?"

One of the Commissars angrily stood up: "It's not how you think it is!"

Petrov: "Oh realy? Tell me, what did we do in the past Several Years? We hardly could expand, we lost connection to Omega-50 and nobody knows what caused to collapse of the Jumphole. We had people in there! Sure we did spread our influence, yes we "did", what about now? Our Influence starts to wear off, the Army is a lazy pain in the butt and we're left here without one god damn improvement!"


Petrov knew what he was getting himself into. This Project wasn't a childs play, it's for serious people that are ready to give their lifes for this Cause.

The Commissars discussed it again and came into a conclusion that they still need the Armys vote upon this, before they can approach with necessary materials and causion.

Petrov left the meeting room and went down to his Cabine. He couldn't forget about his Project, not his, the Coalition People's Project for a brighter future.

He hasn't heared any word from his Brother Nikolai about the Volgograd Industrial Project either. The Satellites he sketched:



For this, he'll need a Station that could construct such Satellites. Probably a Construction site that could keep all in track. The resources they could get from Cayman would make this easier... But Petrov thinks this still could work. Would need assistance, but it can be done.

The Invasion has flown through his head like a Movie:



He can't wait for his People to make a high step into a Historical Event that can change the future of the Coalition brightly.

Revolution is in our Blood.



“He who does not cry out the truth when he knows the truth becomes the accomplice of the liars and falsifiers.”
― Victor Serge, From Lenin to Stalin

Petrov knew he might've not been the best choice for his people however he has been in the Army for far too long to know what said changes can inflict on the Nation. Politics is something he always hated but it seemed necessary at times...

After an announcement to his Comrades he felt optimistic again. His People are reasoable and petrov never doubted that a second in his life. With the current forces of the Expeditionary Corps, the Army and the Commissariat, aswell as Civilians standing down he sees a chance for a change in the Coalition, though he is still awaiting some allies to respond in case things get out of control. Our Allies need to know what's happening, it is within their rights because that's what made our Revolution so strong for centuries. In fact, that's why we're still alive to this day.

The asigned Battlegroups have moved to their location as the plan was that noone escapes. This way both the Omega-5 and Omega-49 jumphole were sealed down. Let us hope that this will end peacefully and not in a bloodbath as that's the last thing Petrov wants to see, more of his Comrades dead for a Traitor.

“A lie told often enough becomes the truth..”
― Vladimir Lenin

Aboard his Command ship the Murmansk Petrov got deeper into details of his plans. The Commissars that have stood with him all these times, Alejandro Rivera, Victor Kaspov, Dmitry Dubovik and Julia were gonna be the ones that will enter the Premiers Office as a front together with him.

After seeing that Leon Guiterrez is still alive and well, Petrov have seen hope in a leader that was elected by the people and has given the people their better economical lives. The former Minister of Plenty. The State of Duma would be more than honored to have him resume his duty.

The Secondary Fleet has moved over to Planet Jiang Xi, meanwhile Petrovs forces have arrived at the Orbit of Planet Volgograd. To avoid spreading fear to the people it has been decided that the land should be approached with Gunships that carry Troopers. Petrov was on the Kasatka, his own Gunship together with his Comrades. While they were approaching the Kremlin, transmissions from the Orbit has been sent to all Military Personnel to stand down and avoid a conflict.



Immediatly after landing, all troopers left the Gunships. So far everything was calm until a Military Officer approached Petrov to have a conversation with. But as soon as the officer got infront of Petrov he heared someone screaming from behind "Traitor!". Without even much time to respond the officer got shot by an unknown man. Petrovs Forces immediatly started firing.



Seeing this disaster Petrov shouted: "Everyone stand the fu** down! Those are our Comrades, we don't want any more bloodshed! I'm calling everyone to stand down!"

The firing stopped and there was a short silence, the wind was howling. The incursion continued and luckily for Petrov, nobody was trying to resist. Closing into the Premiers office he saw two men, guards, smiling as they opened the Door. Petrov called Rivera and Dubovik to stand outside in case things go wrong. He approached the chair...

...the Chair was empty.

The Guards: "You're too late, Petrov. The Premier has fled. Long live the Premier!"

Rivera and Dubovik both knocked them down unconscious and have taken them back hand cuffed to their Gunships. Petrov sat down on the chair and was just thinking to himself what this possibly could mean: "Where did he go?..."

Slowly making his way to the Hangar Bays he starts to think how they could proceed with their plan.




At the Hangar bay he notifies his Comrade about the Situation and calls for a Comm Channel to all Coalition Citizens and Coalition Bases inside New Moscow and outside:

"The former-Premier has been exiled from all Coalition and their allies occupied Systems. Comrades, we have dark days ahead of us, the sudden disappearance of the Selim is indeed questionable. But do not fear, we have always been strong as a people and have withnessed such things in the past. We prevented a Civil War, Comrades, let's cheer for that. Our future may look harsh and maybe even impossible to overcome as we still have the Enemy infront of our Door but do not fear, we're all in this Together. Keep on resuming your duties, may the Coalition live forever!"
