Coltar V
Coltar V was just on the edge of Imperial claimed space, offically it was known as an Imperial prison world. Political prisoners, discontents and many others could be found here. Down on the surface there were no cities, it was kept that way. The most civilisation you’d find would be large towns.
Ami Naren was itching, to be honest the white vixen was always itchy. It was the iron collar around her neck that did it. Most of her fur was white, she had blue eyes and hair hair was back with a large green section. She was wearing a light blue blue jump suit which was close to skin tight.
Ami was pushing a cart of scrap towards the small yard at the edge of town. Milin Town wasn’t so bad to be honest few imperials came here as it was seen more of a dump. A dump where debris and refuse where sent.
There were more wretched places to be the vixen knew and everyone did their best to avoid being sent to them. Wheeling the cart into the yard she looked around, piles of debris, machines and things that had been disassembled lay all over. In the district there where many such yards all taking in junk and scrap that been boosted down to the planets surface from orbit.
The people who scavenged the wrecks of star ships and such where named scrapers. Many of the towns had a few that did well and over lorded it over the others. At the bottom where the scrapers, some worked in rough groups, some on their own and even more where watched over by the various Imperials that had been sent to keep order down on the surface. There where several Imperial towns and garrisons.
Scrapers never went near the imperial towns unless they had to, the grapevine said that there had been more than a few vanishings.
“Katara!” called out Ami.
“Yeah..yeah… who’s asking..?”
“It’s me Ami, got the power convertors you demanded”
A head popped up from beyond a large piece of shuttle craft’s main viewport. The hair was purple, had a pair of goggles on the top. Carefully the being rose to full height to reveal it’s self as smudged dirty and slightly oiled raccoon girl. She moved her hair with a large gloved hand and looked around. A dirty overall with a few tools in the pockets she was wearing.
“You have all eight?”
“Yes and a few other things on your shopping list”
“Hard to find?”
“A little nearly ran into an Imperial Patrol, got them off that cruiser wreck that came in last month”
Katara was already looking over the convertors and such that Ami and brought her. The Racoon girl nodded as she listened. She considered it would be very helpful for her project. Katara had thought about letting Ami in on her secret but had thought better of it.
“Eight power convertors and the...other stuff, going rate is a thousand credits. I was lucky to get them when I did Katara. That many I’d say your building a small ship...possibly a fighter”
“If I were you I’d very seriously consider forgetting what you just worked out. It could be very dangerous for you” Katara commented.
The green eyed raccoon girl had a large and impressively large knife in her hands and her finger on the very tip of the blade.
“You’d not get past the planet’s shield Katara...you’d be blasted out of the sky. Last one to try only came back as free floating atoms”
“I have a better plan...gonna wait till the imp’s throw their next batch of trash down here. There’s a three to four minute window when the shield is open”
“You are kidding me, you’d need someone to help. I mean you can’t just pilot on your own. You need someone to balance your ships shields and keep an eye out of any imp fighter coming up to take you down”
“Well you worked out what I’m up to..it’s either you forget what you worked out or come with me” replied Katara.
“Hmmm I’m not sure...you’ll need a shield generator either way” Ami answered.

“So what do we have?” questioned Miles.
“Sidia Three M Class world, on the very edge of Confederation Space. Slightly more gravity than Star Mesa the Confederations Capital World. Two major exports processed timber and some minerals. Newest colony world, mixed population offically only a protectorate”
“Why a protectorate Sunrider?” Miles questioned.
“Well….” the Foxtaur started.
“It’s because they practice Gene Engineering” commented Longshore.
Miles sighed he really should have known really. Foxtaurs had more than a slight issue with Gene Engineering, it was mostly because they to where supposedly gene engineered as well to be the perfect ground soldier. The Genesis Wars had taken place sometime ago, they were also known as the Gene Wars to some. Several planets and species had been bombed out of existence, even now it was still a sore point for the Foxtaurs.
Gene Engineering was very prohibited with the Confederation, it was only permitted to correct defects and other issues.
“We’re just dropping off the gel packs here and a few other things. We won’t stay longer than a day or two at most. I know Allegra will want to put on a show so that gives us three days at most. I know Foxtaurs do have a touchie subject with you know what”
“That is an understatement” replied Longshore.

Coltar V
Town Of Meridian
Slavery wasn’t unknown with in Alliance space, it was something that stuck in the craw of the Confederation for a long while. Either way both sides tried not to bother the other to often. There had been three space based wars between the two, the last being some fifty five years ago.
The house as it was a house was in the imperial district, all the homes here had large open spaces and well maintained gardens. A few people walked the streets as they went about their business. From one house if you had been able to get past the garden and close it you would have heard a conversation.
"Why should I care if she had died, Doctor? I could always make another like her, or just find one they are after all easily replaced"
"The medication I gave her should stop the return of the physical issues. She should be otherwise be back to normal soon, although what is normal for this unusual morph of yours, I’m not exactly sure” commented the doctor.
The Tiger/Vixen hybrid lay still pretending to be asleep, she wasn’t she was just listening. Danica Pasli was born nearly eighteen years ago. Shi could not remember her mother or her family much. Shi hated being the chattel of Tai Retta. The Dragon male cared for little if anything Danica had never found anything of what you might call weakness. The only thing was sex shi supposed but he seemed to get that where ever he liked. At least shi might some sleep, it was already starting to get dark, how long shi had been out shi was unsure.

“I still say all this is unneeded really” commented a voice.
“Well I can’t say either way, Starfleet medical disagrees. So we’ll just get on with it, when your ready step from behind the screen please”
Lt Commander Sarah Baden watched as the new chief engineer stepped from beyond the screen. She had come with high recommendations for her engineering abilities, but with a personal history of strange incidents that had followed her from ship to ship.
The trouble was that most of them were sealed under Personal Privacy. Therefore she had left orders for the engineer to report to her office before commencement of the voyage so that she could do a personal evaluation, and she was due very soon.
The human had not been expecting the lioness… only not quite what she had preconceived. There was nothing unusual about the tan fur that covered her evenly as far as could be seen, and her long, glossy reddish-brown hair and tail-tuft were attractive but quite normal.
However, while Baden was five foot two, Valeria Xena stood at six feet five inches, she was well muscled which seemed to be a thing for her speices. other outstanding attributes. All Sarah could think of was well – she was absolutely stacked. Sarah wasn’t sure if the lioness had heard the term but Valeria looked like an amazon. Only a small scar above her right hip was the only thing that marred her form.
“Ummm...well yes thank you Lieutenant, you can replace your duty uniform now”
“Thank you Sir, is there anything else?”
“No Lieutenant, your good to go. I would have liked to have asked about..incidents on the other starships. I know its up to you, if you wish to speak about it or not”
“I’d rather not Lt Commander, am I dismissed”
“Yes you are Lt Xena”
Valeria nodded and once she was fully clothed left sickbay.

Commander Chocolatepaws continued along the hallway, as she did so Dawntreader moved past her. The Rabbitaur kit was a lot bigger, shi had already talking and giving both Lucy and Yana a few issues.
“Heading to school?” Chocolatepaws asked.
“Yes...Commander, I was just in a rush sorry”
“Well slow down Dawn, there a few of us you know, working”
“Sorry I’ll slow down a little”
Chocolatepaws watched as the cream and brown Rabbitaur headed off towards the small class room. The Weststar only carried a few families mostly it was a crew of Starfleet. The Foxtaur passed close to the small school shi looked inside.
Eight desks were inside and eight little heads were watching their computers. The teacher a white goat with light brown spots was keeping things under control. Tai Akwa was her name as Chocolatepaws recalled. Confederated Planets History was being taught, other things would be taught also such as other species they had encountered. A few moments later found the dark brown Foxtaur standing on the ships bridge.
“Good morning officer of the watch, I relieve you”
“Aye Commander, I stand relived” replied the Panda girl as she vacated the command chair.
Her name was Alin Zenor as Chocolatepaws recalled, she was normally in charge of night shift. Commander Chocolatepaws sat in the command chair, she was busy checking over power use. Everything checked out and she was pleased.
The patrol had found very little a few ships had been cargo running without a completed Mariners Licence. One ship had been carrying Vorain Ale, the dark green liquid was very alcoholic. It was also illegal in the Confederated Worlds. Shi knew there had been a change of command at Praxum Station, something about promotion to Admiral and sector commander.
“Good morning Commander how is everything?”
Chocolatepaws stood up and tuned slightly to look behind hir. A tall white Foxtaur was waiting shi had a mug with a hot drink in it.
“Greetings, I am Foxtaur Fireflash, daughter of Windrider and Tenderheart, I’m sorry I’ve been to busy to introduce myself”
“Greetings I am Foxtaur Chocolatepaws, daughter of Blacknose and Seasprite”
“At ease Commander, where is our course set?”
“Course is set for Sidia Three Captain. Fleet wants to show the flag and show the Alliance that we are watching the Aritan phalanx”
“I see, if anything comes up I’ll be in my ready room”
“Aye Captain”
Chocolatepaws considered that had gone well, change of command had normally been rough. New Captains had different idea’s. They could upset the crew of ships, so far Fireflash had left everything alone. Shi noticed something and looked up to the helm officer.
“Is something wrong Lt?”
“Hmmm?”
Chocolatepaws bit back a soft sigh and looked to the back feline, shi pursed hir lips a little and shook off the thought. It wasn’t fair really, the feline went by the name Cog. Why shi was not to sure. He had light purple hair, not exactly regulation but the crew knew they had some leeway.
“I asked if there is something wrong, Lt Tessle”
“No Commander...I was just thinking it’s nice to be no where near Imperial Alliance Neutral Zone for a change”
“Hmm that it is, continue on course, and Lt, try to keep the daydreams to a minimum”
“Aye Sir”

Ita Haze and Austin were playing three dee chess, the two were at slight tie. Ita seemed to be thinking, and she reached out and gently put her king back down. They were playing for an ice cream sundae.
“Hmm I’m not sure either of us can play another move, your getting much better Austin” sighed Ita.
“Call it a draw?” questioned Austin with a grin.
“Was that your stomach growling just now?” Ita eyed the husky quizzically.
“It...might have been”
“I guess we owe each other a sundae” grinned Ita.

“Slow to impulse power”
“Impulse Aye”
“Science what do we have?” questioned Fireflash.
“Usual debris and gasses found in most systems, an elongated Oort cloud. There’s four M Class planets in the system. Ten planets are in the system other than the M class ones are gas giants, the fourth planet out from the local star was a post industrial world. It should have been on the cusp of warp travel, some form of catastrophe took place. We can only measure large amounts of radiation. The colony is on the third M Class planet. I have to comment that the world is still a protectorate”
“Thank you Lt Commander Blackwood”
“Unusual to have so many M Class planets in one system”
“Not always Commander Chocolatepaws there’s a few other systems like this in Confederated space. Helm standard orbit”
“Standard Orbit Aye”
