'The Blurb'

...A list of story titles and brief synopses of the stories I have written / am writing for the RP of SW:WT...

Hello everyone, I have often been described as the 'weirdo RP fiend' who lurks around the darkest corners of the forums, posting the stories that he has spent an unhealthy amount of time preparing and writing. Now, true to my forum persona, I have done the same again with Shattered Worlds, and have spent the same unhealthy amount of time as I have done for every other Freelancer mod preparing and writing stories along the mod's story arc, fitting in my own characters and events around those of the server.

I know that quite a few people have been reading 'The Conastoga Miner', and have praised me for it on the server (I thank everyone that did, boosted my ego to an unhealthy degree,  ;D). However, I've kind of cocked up, as 'The Conastoga Miner', is technically the fifth story in my SW story arc. So to straigten things out for when I post the other stories that are set before and after, I have decided to create this thread to list the stories in order. I might even create a timeline of my own that runs along with that of the SW mod.

Please feel free to post you're comments on this thread, should you have any.

Scarecrow's Complete Saga Stories, Pt. 1

The events of the stories below each occured before the events of Shattered Worlds, saga wise dating back several decades, RL wise going back to when I was flying with the Evo guys and gals. The very first story, 'Scarecrow', was a compilation of my Evolved pilots logs, written nearly six years ago.

Whilst existing only in title here, over 90% of these stories were at one time written and completed, although sadly, many were lost when the Evolved forums went down, and many more lay gathering dust somewhere within the bowels of my many external storage devices...

*** 

Stories listed in chronological order.

?   01. ?Prelude? ? The life of Marcus J Scarman up to the point of his betrayal by the Liberty Navy. The story covers the point of Marcus? enrolment in the Liberty Navy, how he was given his callsign, his failed relationship with Samantha Reynolds and how he and his wingmen defeated a Nomad incursion in the Alaska system.

?   02. ?Scarecrow? ? The story of the year Sirius year 824 A.S, following Marcus Scarman after his wing was destroyed for witnessing a Nomad fighter and he is exiled from Liberty. He travels the galaxy on a mission to prove his innocence and absolve his name, encountering a number of quirky characters, strange environments and tense situations. He is forced to fly with pirates, namely the Liberty Rogues, the enemy he has fought most of his life. He then crosses into Rheinland where he meets Pax Westfalia aka Thorsten Stozenfels and other members of the Rheinwehr. After that he flies to Kusari and joins up with the Blood Dragons where he meets Tomoko Yamaguchi for the first time. After an assassin is sent to kill Marcus, he fleas across the upper Tau systems and Omicron Alpha, running into unchartered space and passing out as his ship?s life support systems are crippled. He wakes up to find that he has lost a week of his life and is somehow half way across the known galaxy?

?   03. ?Survival? ? Scarecrow crash lands on an unknown world of hostile creatures and harsh jungle environments after being chased half-way across the galaxy and witnessing things that will change his future.

?   04. ?It started with a kiss?" (Short story) ? Marcus Scarman and Tomoko Yamaguchi travel from the Omicron systems on a freelance trade ship en route to Bretonia. Their feelings for each other become open affection as they fly amongst the stars. After their journey on board the transport is over, they rent an apartment on Leeds and settle down whilst they earn the money to buy a ship.

?   05. ?The Road to Redemption, Stage 1? ? Marcus, after building up enough money to buy a ship and get off Leeds, is contacted by the Freedom Fighter known only as Cerun and is told to head for Rheinland. He does so and meets Cerun on New Berlin. There, they fly to rendezvous with the other Freedom Fighter and begin to unfold their plans to remove the corruption from the State of Liberty. Stage one sees the assault on Willard Research Station and the removal of several important military figures. It is discovered that the Nomads are once again trying to destabilize humanity by subtly taking over an entire nation.

?   06. ?The Road to Redemption, Stage 2? ? After securing Willard Research Station and eliminating part of the Nomad threat, the Freedom Fighters move in on the New York system. But the Nomads don?t intend on giving them an easy ride and they are forced to fight their own kind as they try to enter the capital.

?   07. ?The Road to Redemption, Stage 3? ? After creating a diversion, the Freedom Fighter Admirals, along with Scarecrow, sneak down to Manhattan where they break into the Presidential suite and finally end the Nomad?s tyranny over Liberty. President Jacoby, killed long ago by the Nomad who possesses her, is taken down and peace is restored to Liberty.

?   08. ?Kidnapped? ? Marcus and Tomoko go on a mission to rescue Marcus? kidnapped father. With the help of a bounty hunter named Klaus Reinhardt, they manage to save Jason Scarman from the clutches of his captors, however Jason Scarman is killed before they can escape and Marcus is devastated. When he returns to Liberty, Marcus is rewarded for his actions when saving Liberty and is offered a place in the Liberty Freedom Fighters. He numbly accepts, still grieving over the loss of his father.

?   09. ?Mind of the Enemy? ? Marcus Scarman is contacted by his friend Thorsten Stozenfels. In a previous meeting, he told Stozenfels that he thought he had crossed Nomad space when being chased by Liberty assassins. After arranging a meeting with a telepath to uncover Marcus? hazy memories, things begin to get out of hand at the Prinzessin Annegret Hospital. 

?   10. ?Acts of Terror? (Short story) ? Toward the end of year 826 A.S, strange things begin to happen throughout the Sirius sector. Terrorist attacks bearing identical evidence of dangerous chemicals begin to crop up across unconnected worlds

Scarecrow's Complete Saga Stories, Pt. 2

Stories listed in chronological order.

?   11. ?Rise of the Empire? ? As terrorist attacks increase, the house populations begin to get edgy. Large areas of commerce are targeted by the as of yet unknown enemy. Marcus Scarman and Tomoko Yamaguchi buy an apartment together in downtown Manhattan and both witness an attack on the five stars Hotel Regal. Marcus and several others bravely rescue President Logan, who was believed to be the target of the terrorist attack. At the beginning of year 827 A.S, a force claiming to be the ?Bretonian Empire? sieges Freeport 4 in the Magellan Sector and claims responsibility for the terrorist attacks. Shortly after, the Bretonian members of parliament are imprisoned on BPI Newgate and contact with House Bretonia is completely cut off.

?   12. ?The Imperial Conflict, Part 1? ? Tensions rise as Bretonian Armed Forces vessels are seen across the borders of Bretonia taking up defensive positions. Marcus Scarman and Umbra wing are assigned to the LNS Avalanche under the command of newly appointed Military General Michael Cromwell. When the Bretonain Empire begins an unprovoked bombardment of planet Curacao in the Cortez system, Marcus? wing teams up with Kusari forces to try and stop the onslaught. They fail however and the planet is rendered uninhabitable. War is declared on the Bretonian Empire and mobilized defensive forces throughout Sirius begin a counter-strike against the rogue house. It is discovered that a madman calling himself Krazier has seized control of the Bretonian government and has plans for his own inter-galactic rule. The LNS Avalanche leads an invasion force into the Manchester system and successfully rescues the official Bretonian members of parliament. The Manchester system is garrisoned and the Allies prepare for their attack on New London.

?   13. ?The Imperial Conflict, Part 2? ? As the attack on the New London system ensues, Marcus Scarman is thrown into battle against lethal starship designs he has never encountered before. With the death of his Wing Commander towards the end of the battle for the Manchester system, Marcus is appointed WC of Umbra and leads them bravely into New London. Once the system is secured and the IDF (Imperial Defense Forces) are either destroyed or forced to retreat, the assault on planet New London begins. Marcus is assigned the temporary rank of Field Commander and leads an attack force down to the planet. As Allied forces descend on the New London capital, Scarecrow?s team is assigned to take the Canary Wharf Tower, where the false Emperor Krazier is supposed to be hiding. During the attack, Marcus makes a command decision which will come back to haunt him in his later life. Krazier is not found in the Canary Wharf building, but elsewhere within the city the Queen is saved and the Imperial forces are broken.

?   14. ?The Imperial Conflict, Part 3? ? With the capital city of New London mostly secure, Field Commander Scarman leads an attack on the hidden chemical production facilities located within the surrounding mountainous region. His assaults are successful, but as the final chemical plan is secured, Scarecrow is incapacitated by a Sarin ? Tularemia infection grenade and a ruptured tank of SENTOX nerve gas; the weapon used in the numerous Imperial terrorist attacks across the spiral arm. He is rushed to a priority DWB medical centre where he undergoes treatment for his survival. Meanwhile, DWB Doctor Andrew Antonaides searches for his lost love amongst the sporadic fighting in New London central and the Allied fleets advance their counter-attack into the Dublin system where Emperor Krazier is said to have retreated. To their surprise, they are aided by the Red Skull Legion, a wing of Corsairs, a known pirate faction within the Bretonian and Omega systems.

?   15. ?Fall of the False Emperor? ? As the Liberty battleships Avalanche and Pearl Harbour lead the attack on the Imperial forces in the Dublin system, Emperor Krazier is located on a small outpost on the fringes of Bretonian space. Arranmore Station was once a pirate base belonging to the Bretonian pirate group known as the Mollies. The Bretonian Empire seized the base however as an emergency HQ and fall-back point. Freedom Fighter Fleet Admiral Cerun leads an attack on Arranmore Station along Major Victoria ?Edge? Wade and several other hand-picked elite marines. Arranmore is destroyed as one doomed Bretonian ship plows uncontrolled into it and Emperor Krazier is captured, thus ending the Imperial Conflict. Krazier?s army commander, General Centura, escapes with a small portion of the Imperial fleet and disappears into the depths of unchartered space. This story demonstrates the first use of the S/RV Anomaly class scout-ship with FF Admiral Cerun?s LNS Swift.

?   16. ?Lucas Anderson? ? As Marcus Scarman recovers from his wounds inflicted in the imperial conflict, he meets fellow patient Lucas Anderson. Anderson is ex-Navy and, as it turns out, is a wanted man. He is standing on trial for several crimes against the state. Marcus discovers that Anderson was in fact searching for answers to the disappearance of his brother, Vern Anderson. Marcus, Tomoko, Lucas and Nurse Faye Edmonds embark on a mission to uncover the possible conspiracy behind the disappearance of Vern Anderson and to absolve Lucas? name.

?   17. ?Wormhole? (Short story) ? Several months after the end of the Imperial Conflict, Fleet Admiral Cerun of the Freedom Fighters disappears as he takes his ship, the LNS Swift into an anomalous wormhole discovered within the secretive Alaska system. Robert Merlow is appointed Fleet Admiral.

?   18. ?A Cause for Celebration? ? At the dawn of the year 828 A.S, Marcus Scarman and Tomoko Yamaguchi are married at the San Gabriel Cathedral on Los Angeles. Towards the end of the story, Robert Merlow gives a speech, commending Scarecrow?s bravery and devotion to his nation, indicating that if he should show such commitment to his marriage, Tomoko surely would be a lucky woman. He also surprises them all by promoting Marcus to the rank of Fleet Captain.

?   19. ?The Admiral Graf Spee? ? Fleet Captain Scarman, now commanding the LNS Avalanche, is asked for help by the Rheinland government. Marcus and Lucas, who has is now a fighter pilot for the Freedom Fighters, comply and travel to Rheinland. Marcus discovers that Klaus Reinhardt, the man who helped him try to rescue his father, was behind the call for help. Reinhardt, although being a freelance mercenary, was once a decorated member of the Rheinland Military and fought in the Inter-House war of the seven-eighties. Marcus learns that Reinhardt was the skipper of the Rheinland flagship during that time, the RNC Tirpitz. He also learns that Reinhardt?s ex first officer, Max Steiner, never really got over the fact that Rheinland called a truce with Liberty, and has recently stolen a brand new Rheinland battleship. Scarman and Reinhardt then go on a mission to hunt down the Admiral Graf Spee, the ship Steiner named after one of the legendary German WWII naval ships of old Earth.

?   20. ?The Massacre of Fleet Five? (Short story) ? A Kusari battle group whilst out on patrol in deep space is attacked and wiped out by an unknown aggressor. One ship survives and limps back to Kyushu where her petrified crew describes ships of unimaginable power. Emperor Yoshi Tadeka begins a closed document on this first encounter, secretly marking any contact with the aggressive aliens that crop up over Sirius.
