Show Media Item - The Aries War - The 4th Championship MatchThe Aries War - The 4th Championship Match
Wednesday, April 17, 2013
The fourth Championship match has begun. The 11 races have once again named an elite military commander to lead their forces to win total control and power on behalf of their race and individually to claim the ultimate seat of power and ascend to the throne as the Almighty Commander of the 11 races, his Excellency, The Emperor of the Echo Cluster. Please welcome the proud commanders participating in The Aries War!
The following champions have been named by each race to represent them in the Aries War:
Winning even one victory in a full 11 race epic conquest battle in the Echo Cluster is an incredible feat. Most of these commanders have repeated that accomplishment many times and all of them have consistently risen to the top in their battles. Now they must face the ultimate challenge. To beat the best of the best. Which one of these commanders will win ultimate glory for their race and for themselves? Which one will become Emperor of the Echo Cluster? Only the coming Nu Years will decide.
Representing your race and its future place in history is not without risk. All 10 losing commanders will be stripped of their rank and all their achievements and will have to start again as lowly midshipmen for their race. The winner will be elevated to the title Emperor and will be remembered for all time as a hero among their people.
In addition to glory in the Echo Cluster, the following prizes will be awarded by the overseers of the Nuniverse:

The following champions have been named by each race to represent them in the Aries War:
The Solar Federation name: Rear-Admiral Zver
Rear-Admiral Zver has earned his stripes in a combination of individual efforts and as the leading role in two epic "Team" conquests in the Mao 2 Sector and Gamma Ti Sid Sector. Zver's road to the top has been long and hard. What he does with his chance to become Emperor will be interesting indeed.The Lizard Alliance name: Admiral Emork the Lizard King
The already famous Emork the Lizard King is back again attempting to capture the crown for the second time. His first showing in the Taurus War on behalf of the Fascist Empire was rather ineffectual and he showed he had no nerve when faced with true challenge. He has proven himself a worthy commander however, dispatching powerful enemies with ease time and again. The Lizards are his true calling where he has won 3 out of 3 campaigns. The question is, does he have what it takes to become Emperor?
The Empire of the Birds name: Commodore BlueJay
Commodore BlueJay, one of the most active Birdman commanders of all time has completed an incredible 13 battles across the Echo Cluster. Often thrown into the most desperate situations half way through a battle where the original commander has fallen or disappeared. He has more experience than any other Birdman commander and it has not gone unnoticed. He has seized this opportunity to prove his worth!The Fascist Empire name: Rear-Admiral Kauld
Rear-Admiral Kauld became famous among Fascist commanders following his massive victory in the Nercodonia Sector where he won outright victory for the Empire with an incredible 219 planet victory. Since then he has fought hard and strong in several campaigns, rarely defeated, he has proven the best of the best for the Fascist.
The Privateer Bands name: Fleet Admiral Jomii
A sneaky pirate if there ever was one. Jomii has robbed and stolen his way across the Echo cluster, frustrating enemies and amassing a fleet of stolen junk from the inner core to the outer planets. One thing Admiral Jomii has never achieved however, is an outright victory for the Privateers. Will he have the diplomatic prowess and tactical abilities to win? He stands now a worthy underdog.The Cyborg name: Fleet Admiral Jobo
Fear. Defeat. Destruction. No commander in the Echo Cluster has caused more fear, defeated more enemies or dolled out more utter destruction than undefeated Fleet Admiral Jobo of the Cyborg. Six times Jobo has taken to the field of battle and six times he has taken home victory. There is no doubt that Jobo is the best of the best. Is there anyone that can defeat him? Is there anyone?
The Crystal Confederation name: Rear-Admiral Mckone
Like many Crystalline commanders Rear-Admiral Mckone has assisted many others to first place victories in their battles. He has been a steady, strong, hand of defense, maintaining control over hard won territory. Certainly, like many Crystalline commanders, he has been the true reason for victory. Emperor SpaceSquad has shown us, that given enough time, these 2nd place Crystal People are not to be underestimated. Given enough time Rear-Admiral Mckone may ensnare the entire Aries War.
The Evil Empire name: Rear-Admiral Eustache Dauger
Rear-Admiral Eustache Dauger has completed a mere 4 campaigns but has won an incredible 582 planets for the Evil Empire! His crushing victories in the Minhabotia and Ve'vla Vegus sectors secured his place as the top Empire commander.
The Robotic Imperium name: Rear-Admiral Forger
It is a little known fact that Rear-Admiral Forger, who has led the Robots to victory over and over including the striking 227 planet total win in the Part Ofyour World sector, is actually the true blood father of the Leader of the Galactic Senate Rear-Admiral Joshua of the Birds. He has been a mercenary for hire, seeing the end of an incredible 20 campaigns on behalf of 8 of the 11 races! This wily old veteran knows his enemies well.
The Rebel Confederation name: Commodore Seveiht
Commodore Seveiht has completed two campaigns for the Rebel Confederation and won them both. The 193 planet victory in the Arkham Sector and the 164 planet victory in the Bubble World sector. Any commander who has faced Commdore Seveiht knows he fights hard, and he wins. He will be a strong contender for power.
The Missing Colonies of Man name: Rear-Admiral Tristan_mo
The Aries War would not be complete without an incredibly successful Colonies commander and Rear-Admiral Tristan_mo fits the bill. This commander has been victorious in 4 out of 4 campaigns. Only settling for a second place victory in the Embassy Planet Sector. He knows how to win and wants to be Emperor.
The above commanders have won an incredible combined total of 22 sectors! But in the Aries War there can be only one Emperor.
All For Glory
Winning even one victory in a full 11 race epic conquest battle in the Echo Cluster is an incredible feat. Most of these commanders have repeated that accomplishment many times and all of them have consistently risen to the top in their battles. Now they must face the ultimate challenge. To beat the best of the best. Which one of these commanders will win ultimate glory for their race and for themselves? Which one will become Emperor of the Echo Cluster? Only the coming Nu Years will decide.
Representing your race and its future place in history is not without risk. All 10 losing commanders will be stripped of their rank and all their achievements and will have to start again as lowly midshipmen for their race. The winner will be elevated to the title Emperor and will be remembered for all time as a hero among their people.
