(this is an RP set in the Star Trek Universe, in the year 2409. You can either be a part of the Star Trek Universe, be your own species or even be from another franchise IF you can make a good explanation for it)

Ferenginar, A planet owned by the trading species called " Ferengi", A planet that was under constant storms and rotten vegetation's, Mud is of plenty here. the place is full of trading, gambling and lying and cheating. The cities on this world were primarily a series of low domes broken by a tall spires. The orbit of the planet is normally full of trading vessels and the streets and buildings full of people buying, gambling and selling...

Normally.

Right now however, there were tons of Ferengi and Federation ships disabled or destroyed in orbit of the planet. and a single messaging being replayed Over and over again to the surviving ships. "We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile" was being played to the few ships still in fight, The Borg were trying to assimilate the Ferengi people and their home world. The Borg ships were large cubes, or spheres or other forms of shapes. With powerful Cutting beams and high powered torpedoes to disable or destroy their foes easily. It did not help the Borg had special shields on their ships that allowed them to adapt too their enemies weapons.

Unfortunately, the battle on the ground was not going much better. The Borg drones have the same shields, Allowing them to adapt to any weapon if its not remodulated. Worse still, Borg can assimilate any alien race and turn them into Borg Drones. Meaning much like a zombie, you could only stop the Borg by making sure you never let anyone get Assimilated.

A Borg cube was firing Plasma torpedoes at the defensive structures on the planet, and Firing its Cutting beam at whoever tried to fight back. which was not much at this point, twenty three Federation and eleven Ferengi ships destroyed, with Thirteen other ships disabled, all by this single Borg Cube. Any ship that came close enough would have their sensor array light up like a Christmas tree with all the distress signals and weapons fire in space. a New Orleans class flew by and fired a few phaser beams at the Borg cube, but it did not do much. And the Borg Cube fired three cutting beams and ripped the ship apart, the ship's shields completely useless against the power of the cube.

A few ships were regrouping at the edge of the system for a combined counter attack against the massive Cube, so far fourteen Federation ships and five Ferengi ships had grouped up and were planning out some sort of attack plan.

Navir was heading around his Sector of space. He had gotten distress signals, most mentioning something called the Borg. He was unfamiliar with the term, but assumed it had something to do with the Manhunters given how deadly the signals made them out to be.

He arrived at Ferenginar, at first not seeing anything, before he noticed a large cube. He tilted his head having never seen a ship like this before in his life, which is saying something because he'd seen plenty of odd looking ships throughout his life.

the borg sent the message again "We are the brog, Lower your shields and surrender your ships" it sent out and the ships flew back into the battle, which consisted of two Akira classes, a Sovereign class, three Nebula's, two Saber's, three Miranda Refit's, one Freedom Class, Two Galaxy classes and one New Orleans class for the Federation, and two ferengi scavenger's and three Ferengi D'Kora classes on the Ferengi's forces. the Borg sensed that the ships were attempting a retaliation attempt and it began to attack the Federation and Ferengi vessels with its cutting beam, the ships began to fly in a rapid pattern to dodge the beams, one Saber got obliterated in one shot!

Navir watched, not quite sure there was anything he could do. He decided to try and lend a hand to the ships fighting the Borg. He followed after a ship preparign to form a shield infrotn of it when the Borg fired at it.

one of the Miranda's were being shot at, however the cutting beam hit Navir's shield and the shield absorbed the shields blows, however. the Borg cube began to scan the shield he had put up, and began to reprogram its weapons trying to find a weakness in the shield. meanwhile, the Federation and Ferengi ships were using this time to score some easy hits, since the cube was not fighting while it was scanning.

When the attack finished Navir deactivated his shield. "What was it doing?"He asked himself. He noticed the ships opening fire on the cube. He decided now would be a good time to attack and launched a few blasts of energy from his ring at the cube.

the shots from his ring seemed to do WAY more damage then the ships attacking it, that was because the Borg had never encountered Navir's people before, and as such they had not adapted too their weapons yet. The Borg fired a cutting beam at a Miranda again

Navir formed a shield infront of the ship again. He tried to think of a way he could redirect the beam back to the borg ship. Though he wasn't sure if it would be reflected, and didn't want to let up on he shield until the beam was gone.

while the beam was blocked, it seemed as a small parts of the beam some how got through and blew up a small section of the Miranda class, It almost seemed as if the Borg were learning about Navir just by attacking his shield. An Akira class flew by and fired three red torpedoes, which looked like large balls of light and they exploded on the surface of the Cube

Navir glared, firing off a few more blasts of energy at the Borg Cube, hoping it would do the same amount of damage.

his shots did a lot of damage, but his shots seemed to do thirteen present less damage than last time. the Borg ship then started doing something quite devious and yet was so clever, it fired a tractor beam at the damaged Akira and threw it INTO a Ferengi ship! blowing them both up instantly

Navir created a shield around himself protecting him from the explosion. Hew looked at where the Tractor Beam was and flew over to it, creating a massive green canon of Rogun origin, and fired several missiles at it.

the tractor beam port was destroyed, a hole where it use to be. the Borg assessed that Navir was a very large threat and it fired three plasma torpedoes at him

Navir got an idea. He shot a green lasso around oen of the Torpedos and managed to slingshot it back at the Borg cube, hoping it would do some decent damage. He then noticed the other three and tried to manuever around them.

the Borg Cube took some decent damage from the torpedo. The Cube fired a few beams at him, until a Sovereign class flew by and fired three blue torpedoes at the Beam ports and they exploded, the Borg fired two torpedoes at the Sovereign but it seemed the Sovereign had shields that COULD withstand Borg weapons

Navir repeated the Slingshot process with the other two Torpedoes, getting them directed at the Borg ship, hoping it would do the same amount of damage.

the Borg used another Tractor beam and flung them back at Nvir, it would seem it had tons of beam and tractor beam ports. then, all of a sudden a Nebula class began to attack the Sovereign class!

Navir managed to Slingshot the Torpedoes at the Nebula class, before turning his attention back to the Borg Cube. "Was this thing made by Man Hunters or something?"Navir asked, not sure of the origins of the Borg Ship. Navir generated some sort of rail-gun liek weapon, clearly not of Rogun origin. It started charging up with green sparks going through it before it shot off a powerful beam of electricity.

the Nebula ship's shields absorbed the torpedoes, the Nebula's ship had green shields and phasers, Almost as if the Borg had taken it over. sure enough there were borg drones littering the ship. the Nebula fired a phaser beam at Navir

The Borg cube took a nasty hit, and it fired four plasma torpedoes at NAvir

Navir flew up away from the Phaser. The phaser and torpedo collided causing an explosion the sent Navir further up into space. He righted himself lookign down at his tail, having felt a burning on it. He ground, as the tail had been singed, thankfully though it didn't look too bad. "I'm thinking I might need back up here...." Navir said.
