This chapter was SO CASH! I LOVE the Cascans, such gutsy little bastards! I had the battle soundtrack from StarLancer and the Klendathu soundtrack from the Starship Troopers movie playing in my head while I read this masterpiece.

I'm starting to like this Ari'shan guy - Dilgar with a conscience and an extraordinary pilot.

Wow, the Space Race has some nasty fangs now guv. O_o

Also, love the bit with the Alsatian Sheppard. Alsatians rule!

There is a section of Chapter 42 needlessly repeated in Chapter 43, otherwise fine work.

I suspected for some time who the traitor was, kind of. Pity it had to be this way.

I'm also pleasantly surprised by squadron leader Ari'shan, a Dilgar with a conscience?

I honestly feel sorry for the direction in which the Dilgar are headed.

Still loving this, it would be criminal not to get this published SOMEHOW.

You write some excellent combat scenes, whether they be large-scape capital ship engagements, firefights, fighter duels or one-on-one melee. Do you actually do research on this or just have a fertile imagination?

“I know you never wanted to be here.” He whispered to the ruined ship. “And I know you’re hurting. But this is going to be over soon. You’re the flagship of our people, the living spirit of Brakir. You were our voice roaring in anger and our sword cleaving those who want to kill us. They laughed at all of us, the navy was embarrassed by the failures and problems, but we’ve showed them different.” He smiled. “Today we showed them how a real ship and a real crew fights, and for as long as Brakir lives no one will forget our names. So lets do this one more thing and make sure someone is left at home to remember all of us. Then we can rest, and return to the quiet.”

The Dilgar cruiser swung its forward guns into position, ready to deliver the final coup de grace. Rolan shook his head at it, no Dilgar ship was going to finish the Corumai, she died when she chose, not when the Dilgar demanded.

“Ready old friend?” he called over the Remik, the crackling flames covering almost the whole bridge now, the last of the air quickly filling with smoke.

“Ready.” He answered. “I’m getting tired of looking at that Dilgar ship anyway, let’s do something about it.”

They have earned their place in Valhalla. LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!

“There is no one and no thing left in the galaxy that can prevent us gaining victory now, the galaxy will belong to us.”

BZT! WRONG!

You gotta admire the way in which Jha'dur fights - it's almost ... poetic.

It would be a crime against literature not to publish this (someday) - not before you go over the few (VERY FEW) inferior bits and spell-check it, of course.

You handled the reunion scene beautifully. This fic is fast becoming a favorite. Thank you.

“Our fighters are not doing enough damage Warmaster.” Captain Evenil reported. “The ship is not slowing.”

Sha’dur sighed heavily. “What do these humans build ships from? Damn savages.”

Humans build ships from win and awesome, filthy dumbfuck Xenos.

Great heart-pounding action. Loving it.

I will relish the moment that Jha’dur cunt gets what's coming to her.

R.I.P. EAS Persephone - you have done the War Gods and Terra proud. May the Valkyries carry your crew's brave souls to Warrior's Rest (

I can sort of sympathize with the Dilgar, as they're fighting for survival, but I still won't forgive them. They will BURN for this.

SPOILER ALERT! BABYLON5 NEWBS AVERT YOUR EYES LEST YOU MEET YOUR DOOM!

Great description and character development. And to think that in the span of a few years the mighty Dilgar will be in full retreat and in a decade or so they will fry, I feel almost sorry for them.

Best of all, you got that classical Babylon5 vibe going, and that's part of what distinguishes good fanfics of this series from great ones.

I've been a big fan of Babylon 5 for quite some time and this story is probably one of the best, if not the best B5 fanfic I have ever read. Your character and culture development is incredible and combined with the sheer detail throughout the entire story is astounding. Very good job and would love to read more of your work involving B5 someday.

OMG. As soon as I saw this story I knew I had to read it, took me a week but I pulled it off. The sheer amount of detail is amazing as well as the character development. Very good work.

Supposed to be one hundred thousand years.

damn FF wont allow simple numbers
