History

The Seraphim Blades: Guardians of the Krosmoz

In the far reaches of the Stanton system, where the cosmos stretches infinitely and the stars shine like diamonds against a velvet backdrop, there exists a guild of legendary guardians known as the Seraphim Blades. Originating from the mystical Krosmoz system on the vibrant planet known as the World of Twelve, this elite group has carved out a reputation that resonates across the galaxy.

The Seraphim Blades were formed in the shadow of ancient dragon legends, their primary mission steeped in mythos: the collection of rare dragon eggs called Dofus. These eggs, said to hold immense power and wisdom, are not merely trophies; they symbolize hope and protection. Each Dofus is a beacon of strength, imbued with the essence of the dragons that once roamed the skies. As protectors of these precious relics, the Seraphim Blades dedicate themselves to safeguarding the galaxy’s fragile peace, preventing nefarious forces from harnessing their power for darkness.

The Heart of the Guild

The guild operates from a state-of-the-art flagship, the Celestial Sentinel, a majestic super-capital class ship four times the size of a Javelin Destroyer, crafted exclusively for the Seraphim Order by Crusader Industries. Its sleek lines, regal design, formidable weaponry and sheer scale in size reflect the guild’s unwavering commitment to their cause. Each member is a skilled pilot and a fierce warrior, trained not only in combat but also in diplomacy and strategy, ensuring that the Seraphim Blades can navigate the complexities of both protection and negotiation.

Under the vibrant banners of the Seraphim Blades, members don their armor—gleaming, lightweight suits that enhance agility and strength, adorned with the sigil of a blade entwined with wings. They fly into battle with a grace that echoes their name, swift and unyielding, ready to face the shadows that threaten the safety of the Stanton system.

The Ares Star Fighter Inferno: The BLADE of the Seraphim

In the heart of the Seraphim Blades’ fleet lies the Ares Starfighter Inferno, a formidable weapon in the fight against piracy and chaos. This heavy fighter, manufactured by Crusader Industries, embodies speed, power, and precision, making it the pride of the guild. With its sleek lines and menacing silhouette, the Ares Inferno cuts through the void like a knife, ready to defend the innocent and enforce peace across the Stanton system.

Unleashing fury

At the core of the Ares Inferno’s might is the massive SF7B ballistic gatling gun. With a roar that echoes through the emptiness of space, this weapon unleashes a torrent of destruction upon its foes. When akaFoxSlayer and his pilots take to the skies, the sound of the gun firing is a chilling reminder to pirates that they are outmatched. The sheer power of this weapon, combined with the ship’s remarkable speed, allows the Seraphim Blades to engage their targets with lightning speed, leaving little room for retaliation.

But the Inferno is not merely a brute; it is equipped with advanced missile systems that enhance its lethality. The 16 Rattler II cluster missiles are a favorite among the Blades, designed to deliver a devastating payload with each shot. When fired in a salvo, these missiles unleash 28 clusters of destruction, tearing through enemy defenses and leaving behind chaos in their wake. Coupled with the 12 Chaos III infrared missiles, known for their unerring accuracy, the Seraphim Blades can strike with a precision that makes them feared across the stars.

Customization for supremacy

Understanding the unique challenges of their mission, the Seraphim Blades have customized their Ares Inferno to ensure peak performance in every engagement. They have installed two powerful JS-400 power plants from Amon & Reese Co., providing the ship with the energy it needs to maintain its relentless speed and firepower. With two FR-76 shield generators from Gorgon Defender Industries, the Inferno boasts a robust defense, allowing it to withstand incoming fire while pressing the attack.

Cooling systems are crucial in the heat of battle, and the Blades have outfitted their ships with three industrial-grade A cooling systems from Juno Starwerk. These enhancements ensure that the Ares can sustain its relentless assault without overheating, enabling the pilots to unleash their full arsenal without fear of mechanical failure.

The speed of justice

Time is of the essence when confronting space pirates, and the Seraphim Blades understand this well. Fitted with the military-grade XL-1 quantum drive from Wei-Tek, the Ares Inferno can jump across the galaxy in the blink of an eye. This capability allows akaFoxSlayer and his crew to respond to distress signals and threats with unprecedented speed, often arriving at the scene before the pirates even know what hit them.

As the Blades soar through the cosmos in their Ares Starfighter Infernos, they are not just fighters; they are harbingers of justice. Each mission is a testament to their dedication to protect the innocent and preserve the legends of the past. With their custom-fitted ships and unwavering resolve, the Seraphim Blades stand ready to face whatever darkness lies ahead, their Infernos blazing like stars against the void.

Manifesto

The Call to Arms

The Seraphim Blades offer their services to any who seek protection against the dark tides of space piracy. Merchants, miners, and explorers alike look to the guild for safety as they traverse the perilous trade routes. With a reputation built on honor and courage, the Blades accept contracts to escort vessels through treacherous territory, ensuring that every ship can reach its destination unscathed.

In addition to protection, the guild is equally adept at taking on bounty missions, pursuing the most elusive of criminals who prey upon the innocent. The Seraphim Blades approach each mission with a calculated strategy, utilizing their Crusader ships’ superior technology to outmaneuver foes and bring justice to those who disrupt the peace.

A story of what to expect from the Blades during a bounty mission

The Seraphim Blades in Action: A Show of Prowess

The stars shimmered against the dark canvas of space as High Seraphiel, akaFoxSlayer, scanned the comms for intel on their latest bounty. A notorious band of pirates had been terrorizing trade routes within the Stanton system, the Seraphim Blades were ready to deliver justice, but instead of using a fleet of Ares Infernos, going against normal protocol, the High Seraphiel wanted this to be a two ship operation, even though they’re expecting at least twenty ships you’d think this is a suicide mission, but not to the High Seraphiel, this will be a message to all pirates in the system. Accompanied by one of his trusted strike team commanders, High Seraph Spider-Jerusalem117, they prepared to deploy their own personal ships in a show of force that would be remembered.

The Battle Plan

As they cruised toward the target area, akaFoxSlayer piloted his custom F8A Lightning modified by Gatac Manufacture, a stealth marvel boasting a sleek profile enhanced with one-of-a-kind Xi’an components. The ship was a ghost, barely a blip on enemy radar. In contrast, the hulking A2 Hercules Starlifter, helmed by Spider, was a fortress of firepower, bristling with cannons and repeaters that promised hellfire for any pirate foolish enough to engage.

“High Seraphiel, we’re closing in on their last known position,” Spider said over the comms, his voice steady as he monitored the tactical display. “Shall we initiate the ambush?”

“Absolutely,” akaFoxSlayer replied, his tone a mix of focus and excitement. “We’ll draw them in. I’ll flank from the shadows; you draw their fire.”

The Engagement

As they approached the designated coordinates, akaFoxSlayer activated the stealth systems of his F8A. The ship melted into the backdrop of stars, becoming virtually invisible. Meanwhile, Spider maneuvered the A2 into position, its massive size and formidable armament a beacon of intimidation.

“Prepare for engagement,” Spider commanded to his crew, manned at the various turrets. The atmosphere inside the ship was electric with anticipation. With eight size five cannons and six size four repeaters spread across all the turrets ready to unleash devastation, they were more than prepared for the fight ahead.

Just as planned, a group of pirate ships emerged from a nearby asteroid field, their sensors indicating an easy target. They hadn’t detected the stealthy Lightning lurking just beyond their range.

“Now!” akaFoxSlayer roared, breaking the silence as he launched into the fray, leaving behind a streak of light as he engaged his ship’s powerful engines.

Hellfire Rains Down

In an instant, chaos erupted. akaFoxSlayer dove into the melee, using the Lightning’s agility to dart between enemy vessels, unleashing barrages from his six Dominance-3 Laser Scatterguns. Each shot tore through hull plating, sending pirate ships spiraling into the void.

Simultaneously, Spider unleashed the full might of the A2. “Fire all turrets!” he commanded, and the ship shook as the Deadbolt-V cannons roared to life, belching flames and destruction. The air was thick with the acrid smell of burning metal as the massive rounds tore through enemy shields, leaving the pirates vulnerable to akaFoxSlayer’s precise strikes.

The combination of stealth and overwhelming firepower left the pirates scrambling. Many tried to flee, but it was too late. With each strike, the Seraphim Blades closed in, methodically dismantling the pirate squadron.

A Show of Unity

As the battle raged, akaFoxSlayer and Spider’s coordination was seamless. They communicated effortlessly, anticipating each other’s moves. “Spider, I’m taking down their rear guard—cover me!” akaFoxSlayer shouted, pulling a sharp maneuver that drew enemy fire away from his second-in-command.

“On it! Engaging forward turrets!” Spider replied, his fingers deftly guiding the controls. The A2 unleashed a volley that obliterated any ship foolish enough to get too close.

One by one, the pirate ships fell, their defenses crumbling under the relentless assault from the Seraphim Blades. As the last enemy vessel disintegrated in a fiery explosion, akaFoxSlayer and Spider-Jerusalem117 exchanged triumphant looks over the comms.

The Aftermath

With the threat neutralized, akaFoxSlayer circled back to join his ally. “Mission accomplished,” he said, satisfaction evident in his voice. “Let’s collect our bounty and remind the pirates of Stanton why they should fear the Seraphim Blades.”

“Agreed. Another victory for the Blades,” Spider replied, a grin spreading across his face as the crew began the process of scanning the wreckage for any salvageable assets.

As they made their way home, the stars glimmered like the promise of peace restored, a reminder of the legendary guardians patrolling the galaxy, ready to strike down any who dared disturb the tranquility they fought so hard to protect.
