Description
Two great powers, one single goal. The battle was inevitable. The Lounge Wars lasted a thousand years, with countless lives lost on each side. They both knew that they could not peacefully co-exist, they both knew that the war had to be fought.
The opening salvo between the two great powers, Vaygas and it's bitter rival Reen-Oh, was more of an accident than a planned attack.
Seen here in this reconstruction, the sleek modern Vaygas cruiser the C-Leen D-Ohn meets with the older Reen-Oh attack platform, the Bah-B Bitt-Mahn and it's buster balls. Both ships were passing through the Sinytra Nebula when they met..... nose to nose. The captains of both vessels, proud and seasoned, refused to give way to the other vessel.... tempers flared, shots were fired....
we don't know who fired the first shot, whether it was the gleaming C-Leen, or the sequined Bah-B. All we know is the shot sparked a war that took centuries to end.....
The Lounge Wars, chapter one, first paragraph.
The Lounge Wars is required reading for most college students throughout the breadth of the civilized galaxy, both as a cautionary tale, and as a tourist destination.
okay.... got a little carried away on this one..
so, what else is new?
comments welcome, please enjoy

While both sides prayed to Elvis, only one would triumph. With the help of the Wane Newton class star destroyer, Reen-oh came down from the Northern quadrant. I looks to be to no avail! The Vaygas out comped the whole civilization! But unknown to either side was the Moraango and Pacheenga tribes just to their south who claimed prior ownership of the whole galaxy! The battle heats up!!!
You should write for a living! Fabulous story! Very cool sci fi art!
Just like a Mess-kin stand off, sci-fi style...eh Grin-go ? You know, I really thought this one was going to be about a fight over the remote control...silly me ! As RubyT said, you sure know how to write 'em ! Well done & ~Cheers~
