don't fear the reaper
[The First Battle]
[They come shooting out of the great dark. Guns blazing, no warning. The enemy ships are ragtag, mismatched, and cobbled together from spare parts. But that doesn’t make them weak. No-- years and years of scavenging have turned them into raiders, and they carry their scars with pride.
The battle is more aggressive than previous attacks against the Fleet. Nothing deters the raiders because they’re tough, and if they see a wounded ship floundering, they have no problems swooping in and boarding. Those crews will soon learn the meaning of teamwork if they want to bring the attackers down. They infiltrate the Iskaulit as well, just in case people try to hide there. At this point they are very, very used to tracking down women and children for their slave trade.
If asked why they’re doing this, the answer is simple.
Spare parts have to come from somewhere.
Don’t worry. Nothing on your ship, and no one, will go to waste.]
[A Few Hours Later]
[The raiders are too strong and the Fleet is failing. After what seems like an eternity of warfare, static comes in, broadcasted to the fleet at large. Something or someone is hailing them…
The signal is untraceable and the video is complete static, but they tell the Fleet they are here to help. Ships come swooping out of the black and they open fire on the raiders. They number a dozen, maybe more, and the ships look eerily similar to the ones currently used by the Fleet, if not a bit older and battle-hardened. Their shielding and weaponry is much, much better, however-- and most of them have custom paint or other touches on their hulls.
They’re not invincible, however. A few may end up between a rock and a hard place when the raiders surround them.
Some older residents may remember this particular group of ships. They’re obviously helping out now, but there’s nothing stopping Fleeters from firing on their would-be saviors save a complete lack of weaponry. You do have a Security officer on board, don’t you? They’ll defend themselves by seriously injuring your ship, but they won’t destroy it for some reason. Small mercies.
The raiders soon realize they’re outgunned and jump ship, taking their dead with them. The intercepting fleet pulls back, too, and both parties vanish back into the dark as silently and swiftly as they came. There’s a lot of cleanup to do whether your ship is disabled or you’re preparing to tow someone else.
Hopefully, the people who saved you don’t change their minds.]
[Plot info is here! Feel free to make your own toplevels with fighting, barricading, being boarded, saving others, the aftermath, etc. There's lots to do!]

boarding party
With a triumphant grin, Eithan pushes his flames forward, detonating a small, controlled explosion around the raiders. It... might leave a little bit of a charred mess but hey he'll fix that when this is all over, he swears.
He turns to Sokka, nods once. ]
Thanks, Captain. There's a few more comin' this way -- I'll watch the door for you?
no subject
No problemo. And yeah, thanks! I got no problem dealing with them, but trying to deal with them and keep our life support systems online? Thaaaaaaaaaaaat's a little trickier. And I'm pretty sure all of us still want the oxygen to be working.
no subject
Yeah, no, breathin' is definitely a priority, man. So you do that - I got this.
[ There's already a fireball in his palm as he moves to properly stand guard. ]
I'll let you know if someone's gettin' too close.
no subject
Thanks, appreciate it. Hopefully they'll leave soon and we can uh...not die? That'd be awesome.
no subject
[ Oh look, a raider. He comes charging in with a laser-blade-knife-looking-thing, so Eithan puts a fireball in his face~ ]
They fuckin' came out of nowhere, even! How the hell did they find us?
no subject
[Good job. Can't beat a fireball in the face.]
Maybe they traced the Marsiva?
