  The siren and the red lights that signaled the flight corps to launch, started beeping as they reluctantly stopped drinking and with plenty of liquid courage inside their bodies, they made their way towards their respective fighters.

  They were all clad in orange jumpsuits, that ended with a white space helmet.

  Furio lead the skywanderers, cylindrical shape flight machines that had two groups of wings, one in the front, and one on the back, where the subwarp engine and warp engine was placed, these groups where each composed of four wings that formed an x pattern on the wanderer when viewed from behind or from the front; They were also not placed in a row parallel with each other, but rather positioned so that one of the wings from group A while viewed from the front or back, looked like it was placed approximately half way between two wings of group B.

  Nagira lead the Pegasus corps, they where real horses clad in Pegasus armor, so much so was the rider and the mount fortified, that they appeared about 30% bigger than when they were without the armor.

  Ivan lead the Impalers, medium bomber ships, that where too big to be considered fighters, but too small to be considered a part of the regular fleet, they were designed to launch missiles, torpedoes and energy beams at warships and then get the heck out of dodge. They where wide, rectangle shaped crafts, that had a smooth sharpened front, back and sides with four long wings, two at the front and two at the back, they were very slim, with flat a top and bottom, which carried their deadly payload.

  Last, but certainly not least was Ataru, who commanded the BEGS. These where basically normal armor, that had a subwarp engine strapped on its back and a pair of angel like wings for maneuver and Creed Magic.

  Small, light and insanely fast and maneuverable, they could literally fly circles around the before mentioned Impalers, skywanderes and even some Pegasus. The BEGS where not the most heavily armored, the strongest armed or even the most sane of designs, but it excelled, when it came to its purpose and namely that of slaying other fighters.

  “Everyone ready?” Ataru asked, he was the most senior captain and so he had overall command of the air corps.

  “Is there way we can avoid this and get back to drinking?” Ivan asked.

  “Can’t think of any.” Nagira replied.

  “Then we’re ready, waiting for your orders Flight Commander!” Furio replied.

  “All right! This is Flight Commander, Captain Ataru Starstruck to all units, we are ready to go, all units begin launching sequence!” he said, as his BEGS unit was placed on the launch ramp and he was catapulted into space.

  “To all of you that are about to launch, remember this, don’t die for your country, make the enemy die for his! DO YOU GET ME!?!” Furio roared and a collective shout of “We get you sir!” was the reply as the fighters, bombers, BEGS and Pegasus left for battle.
