Dark Reigns Holding the line:
When our sleeper ships left Earth, we saved some schematics for our most sophisticated, dangerous and feared weapon: Ion cannons of "Dark Reign" class. Those are very powerful weapon, able to destroy a whole fleets with ease. In first, we created a platform for this weapon and used it as a main frame of Boridin space station, which was used during the habitation of Murmansk. Since all metal from Murmansk's core was aviliable to Coalition, we have built more of those defensive stations, and deployed them in our border systems: Gladius and Gurms, and near Coalition HQ.
After attacks of aliens known as Nomads, those cannons opened fire at intruders. Dark Reigns destroyed a huge number of aliens trying to sneak in our central systems. We will be enough to say: no one Nomad ship did not reached Sovetskaya. All patrols in Gladius/Gurm are advised to head to the nearest Dark Reign in case of Nomad overwhelming pursuit. The same advice is for civilians, got into Gladius/Gurm for some reason. But be advised, Space Navy and Dark Reign operators bear no responsibility of the civilian causalities in Gladius/Gurm.Question to the old gamers from Starlancer: Did Coalition had DRICs during Starlancer event, or they were introduced during Crossfire? And are Dark Reigns operated by an operator inside? Or they are remote controlled? Or they are fully automated?
Idea for news picture: DRIC on the foreground, Coalition symbol on background. -
-Well, this is the end of this travel. - said zoner.
-This planet? Well, they seem to be not as cool as I initially guessed.
-You will see.
Zoner's Eagle entered the docking ring.
-Ya still use those messed constructions? We already made compact atmosphere-entering installations, already for a 50 years!
-Yay.
Ship landed the Manhattan's main landing pad.
-Well - zoner said - Here we are. Follow me, I already bought a ship for you.
-Okay. Oh, is that a "Liberty" sleeper ship?
-Yes, it is. It is main tower of Manhattan for now. Let's go.
After some time zoner and Ajay were standing near old Starflier.
-Okay. Since ships from both Coalition and Alliance had united systems, you can pilot it. You have your money. It will be enough. Have luck.
After some time Eagle left Manhattan. And after some more time "Starflier" was moved to Manhattan's landing pad.
Ajay sat inside its tight cockpit. In first, he installed well-protected HDD in a ship's computer. That HDD was taken by Ajay from his old Lagg, which now was floating in space lifeless. Then he found his favorite music on HDD.
"The Offspring - The Future Is Now.mp3"
-Well, let's begin our mission - murmured Ajay to himself.
After some time Starflier left Manhattan's landing pad. -

Hell March in Coalition Space... please =)

Victory Day Anniversary Parade is questioned.
When Coalition Sleeper Ships left Earth, their database contained measuring of Earth days and years. That was made for a singular purpose: to save information about 9 may. That victory was long time ago, in 1945, but we shall never forget our past, and never forget our first serious victory against fascism. Every 9 May by the ancient Moscow's time Space Navy was deploying a parade near Coalition HQ.
But now it seems that we need to change our plans.
Unknown ships, which have relations to Dom'Kavash race (read news article: Not The Nomads) are noticed near Coalition HQ. Even if it is heavily armed, we can be unable to earn a peaceful surrounding for parade. So, now Advisory of Commissars of People are deciding, what measures should to be accepted. Those measures include: cancel the parade, move it to safe place, like Sovetskaya system or New Mekka, or increase the defense of Coalition HQ. The Advisory shall get decision to the public as quickly as possible.Author's comments: This seems to be awkward. Still anniversary a victory happened near 8 hundreds years ago... And By the way, photo to this article can be photo of red flag above reichstag.
Oh, OP is german... That could be offensive... -
Not The Nomads
We already reported about strange space-living beasts in Gurm, Gladius, Mandar and Vorkuta. The first opinion about them was that they are species of Nomads, but it was refused, when our patrol had recovered sample of this creature. This creature has low common signs with Nomads, both morphologically and genetically. Their weaponry is also different.
So who are they, our new enemies? Professor Ronald Quintane from Alliance together with our top biologists from Mechnikov NII made a sensational discovery. They found trails of creature's genom in the ruins of old race called Dom'Kavash, and Nomads are seem to be their slaves and guardians, bred specially to protect them. So, if Dom'Kavash first were reported to somehow disappeared, then this discovery can say: they did not died, they left for somewhere.
it is still unknown, are they gonna to return and take their former domain, or they are just watching, how are we here. Stay tuned for further research.

Anomaly in Yakutsk: Fast way to Alliance's space?
15 years ago Coalition Space Navy lost a patrol in Yakutsk. Blackboxes showed that strange hole opened with shockwave, which damaged all patrol ships beyond repair.Coalition has guarded this area for a long time. Now scientists from Sakharov NII are able to say: we do not need to guard this object, called Transdimesional Rift, since it is only one-side way. This Transdimesional Rift guides to unknown system in Sirius Space, in Alliance's territory. But since unknown system has no transdimesional rifts, there is no way to use it to return back to Altair. Still, way to Altair is another Transdimesional Rift in Sol, which guides to Styx system. This rift is two-sided, but Nomad presence in Styx does not allow not us nor Alliance to research it. -
I can guess. BTW news/rumors writing thread is created: Crossfire 2.0 Tertiary suugestions: news, rumors and so on for bars.. Everybody who want write any rumor/news for bars - feel free to join.

Fighter Corps Getting New Toy.
(Archive) Or scientists have reverse-engineered some tech of aliens known as Nomads. So now we are able to incorporate in with our weaponry. New weapon, marked 10G42 by GRAU and commonly called Coalition Gattling, is a deadly thing. It is five-barreled rotary particle cannon, able to deal serious damage with huge rate of fire and high projectile speed. It is still top-secret, what relation do they have to alien tech, how exactly do they work, and where exactly they are produced. But it is already produced in enough numbers to equip all fighters in Coalition fleet with this weapon. Scientists are working on further improving this weaponry, but no more information above development process is aviliable. -
i usually turn the music off and fly with Winamp. With The Offspring. Or C&C soundtrack. Or something more.

-It is not going to end well... - Zoner said.
Zoner's ship was caught by Golden C. ambush - three "Falcons" - in Shikoku, on the way to Manhattan. GC disrupted the Trade Lane, making ship leave it.
-What the hell? - Ajay said to pilot.
-Those crasy women again... - Zoner answered. - The last time their encounter cost me a right wing...
-Women?
-Golden Chrysanthemum. They are feminists and are not in their heads.
-Well... Why are they rebelling?
-Never saw young women unable to get any good work just because they are women?
-Nope - Ajay said.
-Nevermind, man, because now they will try to blow my ass off...
After this words Eagle was shaken by Suncannon hits. GC did not tried to read a preaching to the "oppressor", they just opened fire. Eagle hit afterburner and headed to flee.
-Open fire, man, open fire! - Ajay yelled.
-No, we will not survive it!
-We will have more chances in dogfight, than in fleeing! Give me that!
Ajay slapped zoner out from pilot chair and said:
-Hold on, man! Well... Now let's see what they got.
Ajay killed the engine, vectored towards enemies and returned fire.
-Those are not guns, those are just pieces of sh*t! - said Ajay to zoner.
-Those "Furys" are the best I have!
-They are no match for our Coalition Gattlings! If I had those now, those *censored* now were floating in space between pieces of their ships!
While Ajay said that, one GC Falcon turned to ball of fire. Two more on go...
-Ya see? And we are still alive!
-Man, be careful...
Ajay avoided barrage of Suncannon. and dropped a mine. After 5 seconds another Falcon blowed up. Third Falcon - seemed to be group leader - turned and begun to flee.
-NO FLAKKING WAY - Ajay said and fired CD to GC Falcon, then destroyed it. Ajay found escape pod and vectored to face it.
-So, you decide, what to do with her - said Ajay and moved back to cargo bay, leaving Zoner in cockpit. -
In thread "Questions, suggestions for Crossfire 2.0" I got an idea for news and rumors for Coalition stations. I decided not to pollute that thread with full news and rumors texts, and create separate thread. You can also post your own suggestions for news and rumors here.
I decided to make Coalition's news to be with less propaganda (to be more realistic) and more objective. If Dev Team has its own thoughts about it, you can warn me. And If I rising too much activity, you also can warn me.
News and rumors for another factions also can be stored here. -
Ajay was sitting inside heavily damaged Lagg and looked to radars. Corsairs were incoming. But then... He noticed another group of ships, affiliated to "Bounty Hunters".
-Oh, like a Holywood film. NEVER liked that pulp. - Ajay said with his mocking tone, watching those Bounty Hunters fighting with Corsairs.
Then he noticed another ship. Zoner.
-Hey... What is it? Hey, man, are you okay? - Zoner's head popped on the comlink.
-I am great. But my poor ship seem to be dead.
-Hmmm. Nice ship, by the way! Never saw such a ship before! But paintwork reminds me something.
-Listen, man. I am a Coalition Emissary. I need to get any piece of junk capable to fly.
-OK. I am flying to Manhattan, so... Wait, you said Coalition?
-Yep.
-Oh, man. Do not worry, I dont give a crap about past. Jump out of ship, and I will tractor you in.
After a some time Ajay was sitting in Eagle's cargo bay and talking to pilot.
-Man, so, you are from Coalition? Heh, That is great that Alliance and Coalition stopped the war.
-Yes. Why should mankind fight with itself? - Ajay said. He had this idea from even early days of his life.
-Now listen. I will get you to a central planet of Sirius. There I will buy you some ship, and will give you 150 thousand creds. I have enough money, so don't worry. -
Ajay arrived to Coalition HQ and vectored to the nearest free landing pad. Igor already was waiting near. Ajay jumped out from the ship.
-Comrade Commander, I am here. Ready for getting mission details. - Ajay said in mechanical tone.
-Good. Now, I called for you, because we need somebody, who is smart, philosophical and...
-And expendable? - continued Ajay with a mocking tone.
-Thats a bad joke. Well... We need an some kind of "cultural Emissary" in Sirius. In a new home of Alliance. We need to understand, did they changed after their exodus.
-I don't think so. "When will the world listen to reason, I have a feeling it will be a long time..." - Ajay quoted one of The Offspring's songs.
-Well, anyway, you will see it. There is an transdimesional rift in Yakutsk. It should warp you to Unknown system, which has a passage Omicron Gamma->Omicron Theta.
-Okay. Shall I get any another ship?
-Nope. Your Lagg is still capable to fly, and thats all. You shall join the convoy with another emissaries. They are already in space.
After some time, Ajay's ship accurately left landing pad.
-I hope this old piece of junk will hold together... - murmured Ajay to himself.
Ajay met convoy outside and joined it. Their journey within Coalition Space was peaceful, and it continued to be... Until Omicron Theta. Huge group of Corsairs caught them and surrounded.
-Follow us, or you will be destroyed. - female Corsair pilot - and squad leader - had just showed on the comlink.
-Sh*t. We are screwed - said convoy leader to group.
-No way. Run out of ecliptics, while I will rock and roll. - Ajay's voice was calm and loud.
And, before Corsairs understood, what is going on, he fired at that Corsair and, when her shields were down, Ajay rammed her ship's cockpit. Convoy left the ecliptics, avoiding contact, and soon arrived on Freeport 9.
Ajay was maneuvering as fast, as his old Lagg could. The last time he saw Corsair squad leader, her ship was not moving, and a huge hole was in the cockpit. The armored glass seems to unable to hold a strike of old Russian's ship armor.
-Well, how would they like this?
He flown through Corsair's formation, but, before they understood somethng, he killed engines, turned and begun to fire at their backs. One "Titan" even exploded.
-How did they called it? Corrida? NOW THATS REAL CORRIDA!
Then Ajay pulled afterburn... But engines of old Lagg, which remembered even Alliance-Coalition War, had just exploded. And Ajay's ship flown to Nebula by inertia.
-Oh, now thats the time... - Ajay said.
Engines were FUBAR. Thruster seems to be damaged too. Corsairs soon will find his ship. And everything will be over.
-"Still capable to fly..." Yes, it could be capable to fly, if I did not made that maneuver. Never fly ships, which survived the Coalition Long Sleep. Never - Ajay murmured to himself.
