Pirates of Atlantis

The Milky Way Galaxy is up in arms. The Taranis Reich has drawn the Beta Quadrant into a war that is spreading throughout the galaxy. Their lightning attacks have placed several star nations under total military occupation while still other nations are suffering under Taranian naval blockades. Even the mighty Unified Socialist Star Republic is ill-prepared to hold off a prolonged attack by the Reich's unique form of blitzkrieg warfare.The newly signed alliance between the Taranis Reich, the Andarta Empire, and the Triangulum Confederate will soon place all four galactic quadrants at risk of all-out war.Pirate fleets are being privately employed and hunted as they prowl the stars under no flag but their own.With the galaxy in disarray, the mysterious Atlantean pirate vessel Phoenix, under the command of Captain Lee-Ra, is currently in danger of being captured or destroyed by warships from both the Kuban and powerful Reich's navies.With the balance of the galaxy at stake, the question remains: Can the distant and untried United Stars Alliance continue to remain neutral?
