New Start
by Jane Hudson
The Battle Cruiser Dark Night came to halt a few million miles from the 10-planet system. Her commander looked out across the blackness of space to the system before the commanders eyes. It had been a long war across 2000 light years yet even now it was after 179 years hard to believe it would soon be over. But the enemy they face was not called the Destroyers for nothing .In this last push over the last 3 year they had lost over 3000 spacecraft in the battles make it to there home system. How peaceful the stars looked as the commander look out of the view port. The soft chime told that the call to the home system had come though.
AlISEA how beautiful my mate looks across over 2000 light years. How wonderful my beautiful soulmate looked in that lovely pink chiffon gown our two children both look lovely in matching red skirts pale pink blouses. It did gladden my hart to see and speak to my lovely Ailsea all too soon hyper links would be broken off. I turned sadly away from the screen. Thank god for men they who are soft gentle and so full of grace and culture. Of course the males did not want this war to be fought, which is one of the reasons we love them so. But this war had to be. When I think of the males of the enemy how different they are from our males. I know that the enemy had been attacked by an Alien race a 1000 years ago. But even so they are the most dangerous and violent race The Confederation had ever faced.
Now the battle call was sounding the fleet of over 2000 Battle ships ranging from a 1000feet long to like Dark Night 10 miles long moved to the attack. Even though the ship was 10 mile long it took only a 100 females to run her. She carried 30 000 wardroids for ground ops and 100 auto space fighters. They use to be womaned but loses had made auto ships more important apart from one flight unit of 25 Vnator mk4 advance hyper drive space fighters. Only a bio mind can handle hyperspace jumps. Now the enemy ships where moving forward 600 ships all they had left but this would not be an easy victory. Anti Matter Cannon flashed again force shields. By goddess two of our ships flashed out of existence with the light of 100 suns, as they was hit and the ship shields failed. One was the ship of my good friend I had know for 300 year she was only 470 years old .The field of Stars was the ship of Commander Gealer had been destroyed. I would always miss her in my life she will be remembered. I Yandar would pray to the great and only goddess for that lost soul. I would live for another 500 years as I am 500 already and would miss her every day how hateful is war. Our enemy did not seem to mind this sort of life then they only live for about 100 years. That's not much time to think of anything or feel much of anything.
A huge blast lit the darkness the 10th planet had been blown in to a billion chunks of ice and rock the enemy defence base had self-destructed rather than be taken. I can not understand how 10,000 beings can kill them self's like that taking 18 of our ships with it. Over the next 30 days we battled inwards towards the 3rd planet there home world. We had lost 700 ships but we had taken all other planets in the system the ground fighting had been bad on the 4th planet. But now we were there at the 3 rd planet the battle joined.
100 Years later I was back on the home World of the enemy once know as the Destroyers. My lovely husband and two Beautiful sons were with me. Ailsea Janer Baller stood beside me on the landing ramp at the spaceport near the large City Island on the East Coast of the large Continent of the planet. My sons were only young 26 and 37 still at school and stood there in school uniforms of pleated knee length skirts in dark blue white blouse with smart blue bow at the blouse neck. A Confederation School had been set up. On this world near to the once ruined but now rebuilt city. A male of this world walked pass wearing the new clothes of a male of the confederation .A very fetching red dress shoes and matching bag make up looking lovely. By the goddess how they had changed .I remembered when soon after the final battle how the males looked in battle suits with cyborg parts grafted on there bodies I had never seen anything so horrid
We soon walked to the main terminal Building and went through Customs it the same all over the Confederation.
Then we went to a public Trans mat told the unit our hotel and in blink of eye we were there. As soon as we had started settling in the Tr- d phone came on in front of a perfect looking person stood in front of me. It was Admiral Trassle of the Fourth Fleet my old boss. Well I was no longer in the Confederation Navy so no need to salute. Hi Yandar how are you ok .Oh not too bad. Welcome to your new home for the next 20 years. Thanks all sorted. Yes Madam Admiral. Stop that I know you Cent Gov Trainer now so don't make like a first year cadet. Well I ll leave you to it Bye. Bye. Nice to know the brass still remembers you.
I trans -mated over to the President of this world UNI-GOV. I stepped out of the unit and walked over to the President office. I presented myself to as The Confederation Central Gov LEAD Training officer Tec She rose and said Welcome I am Ms Jackie Materson President of UNI-GOV. I welcome to our world. We chatted about many things .She told me of this world history of how a 1000 years ago at the start of this world space age. This world was attacked by a ship of a race that we had never heard of until this world told us of them .The Grack came here in a ship over a 100miles long it split of in to many city size ships which blasted them to rubble. They managed to fight back and win but at a terrible cost. The day of the final battle was due to great leadership and sabotage of the enemy systems. That day is now known as Independent Day she knew not why. I told her how different the males are on this world now. She told me when Central Command was over run and the Central Processor was smashed the mind link that linked all the Borg soldiers failed they all died. I remember that battle the Central Command was under a Mountain that this world military had used for 1000 years. Not only the base built into Mountain but 4 miles down and 20 miles out was the complex. The Battle went on 6 months they lost 20000 personal and 100000 wardroids. We lost 2000 women 300000droids 3 space ships and lots more. It was a blood bath I never want to see that again. We found out that the Central Command Generals was about to destroy this world with a Planet Killer ANTI-MATTER bomb in side the complex we killed them before they could.
Before I left The President thanked me for all the help given to her planet in the rebuliding . Then told me that because of the fear of being attacked again. Her world had become feared and hated . But also they had become more machine than flesh and blood in the end there was not love or hate. Just cyborg soldiers carrying out orders. She told me thank you for our New Start. I wondered at the change in just a 100 year but then they only live a 100 year so all the old males are dead. The new ones know nothing else. Re education has worked wonders here from killing machine to real beauty s and the women here are doing a great job running the place too.
I decided to use a flyer back to the Hotel. I flew across Country the rebuilding was going great but there was some huge craters around near a still badly burnt but being rebuilt City next to a Large Lake a mile long landing ship of our lay blasted. No one got of that one. Droids or women. As I dropped toward the City I saw a large base that had lots of blasted spacecraft ours and there .Tanks the size of houses laying around like broken children toy s 1000s of wardroids lay around like broken dolls. Oh goddess what a waste is war never again.
Well we stayed 67 years not 20 years my husband and I are leaving for our home world Rudior.2000 light years away. Our two boys were married after leaving school at 40.They married both at 50 years old. We do seem to pick that age why who knows. But there wife s are fine women our boys looked great in white at both weddings in those lovely gowns. They married here but are now back home. Now we are off to our home but I will miss this world. I drove our ground car .I had loved this world crazy way of getting around my husband rather use Trans-mat. Men you know how they are grown ups in some ways. Us women love toys my husband say that why women love the Navy. Space ships are women big toys and this mad ground car is just another. We slowed from a 100 mph to 20 coming up to the Space port sign WELCOME TO J F K SPACE PORT WE HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED YOUR STAY IN NY City. New York City funny name but then no more funny than calling your world Earth.
We parked the ground car it would be picked up by a service company who would resell it for me. Its a reconstruction of a 1978 Cadillac Coup Deville .I don t know what 1978 is but it could be some old year Ident as for the rest who know but it was old almost stone age and fun 8 TRACK funniest sound system I have ever used .My husband hated it he saw a very old crystal vid and he said the only beings who drove such things was mad killers in this planets old time. Who eat too much and shot everyone with old guns horrid. I saw one of them vid 1000 year old and parts missing Godfather see what my dear husband mean .I saw history vids .This world has been bathed in blood. But now I think they do have a New Start. I looked at my husband wearing a lovely grey skirt suit knee length pencil skirt hair makeup male perfect I wearing my black trouser suit I wore some light make up and a 2 inch heel .Well us women like to look good too . I remembered that first night at dinner with my husband and two son . My husband in black silk evening gown my boys in light blue and pink. what a wonderful night. I will never forget it.
We went into the checkout centre and checked in for our flight .The lovely blond young man in the light blue skirt suit uniform and white blouse with matching neck bow checked us in. Once these males was feared and hated .Now they could conquer the Galaxy with there beauty and charm alone now. After an hours wait our ship was speeding across the system to get to Hyper Jump point. I came here as a Warrior I hope leave this world that I love as much as home as a friend.
Over the next 200 years the Earth became a great friend of the Confederation and her males was know for there grace and beauty. I visited many times with my dear husband .In that time the scars of war had been cleared away the radiation levels had been cleared from the nuclear weapon s they used against us. This planet bases and war factorys that blighted the land was cleared and a green and lovely world came to be. The system has been rebuilt too. They did beat their swords in to Plough shears, at long last.
