Space Brigade II. The Syndicates Revenge.

The impenetrable DCO security vaults on Jurass are infiltrated; the infiltrator absconds with vital information that can bring about the downfall of all DCO operatives; any attempt to recover the information must fall to those outside the DCO. The perpetrator of the theft is discovered to be Tamon Sanc, a notorious killer in the employ of Syndicate Governor Shakara Vane; Sanc has returned to his mistress with the information and remains under the safe umbrella of the Valora Syndicate.

The recovery operation is placed with Phoenix Intelligence General Mi Hancy; his orders, to mount a stealth team with a view to infiltrate the Valora Syndicate, locate the stolen information and retrieve it at all costs. Hancy is given a DCO directive naming those who should be used in the operation; the team will consist of Pierce force Colonel Raga, Captains Beeta and Toms, Rats Major Vadier, and DCO ultra-stealth agent Rain Canta, who turns out to be an old flame of Raga.

Infiltration into the Syndicate is set up by the DCO, Raga’ team will go in as negotiators of the IAC, Intergalactic Agro-business Corporation; Governor Shakara Vane expects these negotiators.

The seed of deception is evident when a DCO agent turns up to receive the information; the DCO director has struck a deal for the safe return of the information pins; the price is the lives of Raga’ team.

General Hancy, not happy with the turn of events tries to help Raga’ team unofficially. Hancy, along with Phoenix Admiral Torre are arrested by the DCO and held for court-martial, the charge, conspiracy to infringe the Valora/Coalition treaty.

Governor Vane has an old score to settle with Canta, while Sanc holds a grudge against Raga. When the meeting takes place to exchange the pins Canta is killed; Raga enraged, attempts to kill the DCO agent but is rendered unconscious by a new player in the game.
The agent returns the information pins to the DCO leaving Raga and his team to fend for themselves.

Now on the run from Syndicate enforcers, and being hunted by Sanc, Raga’ team has to find a way off world and safely back to Coalition space. Their only way out is to steal a ship from Sanc’ fortress, however the fortress is heavily guarded and gaining entry is only the beginning of their problems; one of which is Sanc’ dreaded death guards. Will Raga and his team be successful? Will Hancy and Torre be convicted? Will the DCO get away with their deception or will they finally be found out?

Space Brigade III. Hassi Technology.

Pava Three has been ravaged by civil war for several months and the Network are engaged in putting down the rebellion and reinstating Pava’ leader. However, the Network commanding officer is failing, suffering unacceptable casualties, and is replaced by the Networks warhorse Space martial Tansk. Tansk guarantees to retake Pava within months with the aid of Pierce Force. Pierce Force, temporarily commanded by Major Tantis is in the midst of a training exercise on Favi Four; they are immediately recalled to active duty. Colonel Raga is currently acting as ambassador on Tanteee, a duty he is not happy with.

Cosa, an insignificant planet in the Torokian sector suddenly becomes of interest to the Network when its garrison is wiped out. An investigator is dispatched to Cosa where it is found the garrison was destroyed by aliens excavating with the Cosan dead zone, an area where no energy exists. Network High Command decide it is more important to send Pierce Force to Cosa; Tansk is not pleased.

On arrival at Pava three, Tansk is informed the Network forces commander has been captured, the price for his life is Tansk’ agreement not to land his reinforcements; also the rebellion is headed by the Cordilla, a Vootra warlord. Tansk agrees but sends in the Rats to regain the commander; unfortunately the Rats are lead into a trap and captured.

On Cosa Pierce Force locate the aliens and it is found they are the same species that have taken Pava. The Vootra excavate for an ancient starship that crashed on Cosa long ago.

Raga is informed of Pierce Force’ operation by Ambassador Morka, he states they are in grave danger. Raga wants to know why and wishes to leave Tanteee to rejoin his team. Morka takes Raga to the sacred Nor-trell vaults where he is shown what the Vootra are trying to excavate. The Tanteee have a working Hassi starship, a starship so powerful the Tanteee refuse to activate it, and if falling into the wrong hands could lead to universal domination.

The Hassi technology is capable of destroying any starship of known technology; it can destroy worlds by consuming all life force. The Hassi has a transporter system that can transport over great distance, the Vootra want to use this technology to reinforce the Cordilla on Pava Three.

Raga must rejoin his team and try to halt the Vootra before they can activate the Hassi. A fleet is sent by the Network along with several ship from Tanteee to destroy the Hassi craft should it gain orbit. The Hassi gains orbit but the combined efforts of the Network and Tanteee are not enough to stand against its mighty power. When all is thought lost, a vast starship belonging to the highly secretive Executive arrives and takes on the Hassi might. Will the Exec save the Galaxy or will the Hassi dominate?
