The Saga Of The Best SRE Game
|
|
Ever Played!

SRE is a game for BBSes called Solar Realms Elite. It was devoloped as
|
|
the IBM version of the Atari game SEE. SRE is really in itself a fun
|
|
game to play; but when you get geniuses (Good AND evil!) playing, and
|
|
people who are driven to succeed, it can become more than just a game.
|
|
And that's how it is with me. In the best SRE game ever played, I was
|
|
UltraEmpire. You'll see what happened to me in the story, but I want to
|
|
let you know this information is all from what *I* picked up. Most of it
|
|
is true, but some may not be exact. And now onto our story!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once, long ago, there was a galaxy born. The moderator, or Galactiv
|
|
Coordintor, ruled. He wanted people to rule there.. To have races of
|
|
people populate the galaxy he made. And so they came. Each one started
|
|
little, but theyt became big, or they died off. One such empire was
|
|
named Ultra. Ultra had experience populating galaxies (He was from a
|
|
galaxy named SEE), and came to help seed this one. Ultra, with his
|
|
experience, easily conquered the whole galaxy. But alas, how things
|
|
change. The ruler of Ultra left to visit the galaxy SEE, and didn't
|
|
return for a week. In that week, an empire name MaceLand conquered him.
|
|
MaceLand had evil intentions. The ruler of Ultra came back to find his
|
|
empire in ruins. Somehow, he thought, I must resurrect it. And so, they
|
|
waged war. Daily, attack after attack, witfh Ultra losing ground slowly.
|
|
Ultra admitted defeat and truced with Mace.
|
|
|
|
But Ultra was not content for peace- He wanted to rule again. And so the
|
|
idea of an Alliance between empires came to him. He tried, and only a
|
|
couple empires joined. Ultra was saddened. The Alliance really never got
|
|
off the ground. But people were growing, and soon, he asked three people
|
|
to join. They did, and would forever change history's course.
|
|
|
|
Mace was an evil, conceited ruler. He attacked with no mercy. He allowed
|
|
noone to ally with himself. Tht is why people joined the growing Geneva
|
|
Alliance. To stop MaceLand. Mace new of the plan, but he didn't care...
|
|
He thought he could take them all out!
|
|
|
|
And so it went. The Alliance attacked Mace again, only in stronger
|
|
numbers, and slowly, ever slowly, gained ground. They became larger, and
|
|
learned more. Tey put ina spy, a fake empire, as an ally to Mace. This
|
|
spy, BountyHunter, wouldprove to be a most important hero. And at the
|
|
same time, three people established themselves as a distinct trio, the
|
|
Geneva Triad, just under Ultra in authority. They were UltraEmpire, The
|
|
Elite Empire, and Dune Realms. These three were the three most important
|
|
people in the Alliance history.
|
|
|
|
BountyHunter had tricked MaceLand and was exporting goods and secrets
|
|
given him by Mace. The plan was working beautifully. The information
|
|
given to the Alliance showed Mace was indeed weakening, but his ego
|
|
wouldn't allow him to admit the alliance was gaining on him.
|
|
|
|
And then the alliance just coverged. Tghey kept attacking Mace with
|
|
small armies, and unbeleiveably Mace went down alarmingly fast!
|
|
MaceLand's victory was turning bittersweet.
|
|
|
|
Three members of the alliance decided to attack Mace without notifying
|
|
Ultra. They all attacked like flies and Mace was demolished. They took
|
|
all his planets, leaving none for their ruler, and strategist
|
|
UltraEmpire. The three were Dune Realms, The Lil' Red Empire, and Jed's
|
|
Solar Empire. They did it without merit, and it was so noted throughout
|
|
history.
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, people were forgetting Ultra, the brave, genius who
|
|
insturmented Mace's Downfall. They were looking up to Dune Realms, who
|
|
had the biggest empire. Dune Realms would become the biggest empire of
|
|
all SRE games ever played. Ultra was also suffering. Mace's outlash's
|
|
had always been at Ultra. Ultra lost many planets and never regained
|
|
them until the Second War Era.
|
|
|
|
So the Alliance Peace Era began. People were thinking of conquering the
|
|
Pirates, not listening to Ultra who said to kill off a new member of the
|
|
SRE galaxy who was a major threat. After finally killing MaceLand, they
|
|
wanted peace. And Dune Realms, Lil Red, and Jed all wanted to keep their
|
|
precious empires. The Peace Era was considered quite long,and the Era
|
|
itself was. But unfortunately, halfway through, it was hardly peaceful.
|
|
During the Peace Era, verbal threats were higher than ever. That was
|
|
partially good, becuase it kept empires from physically attacking each
|
|
other. UltraEmpire knew they were ont he brink of Galaxial War again,
|
|
and so with his newfound extra planets, began to build an army.
|
|
|
|
A new MaceLand empire arose, and he said that he was going to joint he
|
|
Alliance. But the valuable BountyHunter found information from Mace that
|
|
showed he not only had planned to kill the alliance, but had HIS OWN
|
|
alliance! Quickly, the alliance trounced MaceLand, temporarily
|
|
destroying his alliance as well. This was the time that people began to
|
|
see Elite as a major force. No, he didn't have a major military, but he
|
|
had two things going for him: Dune Realms financial backing, and the
|
|
courage to attack people bigger than him. Noone else besides Ultra had
|
|
the courage to attack Mace, until Elite did.
|
|
|
|
And so at the close of the Alliance Peace Era, a member of the evil
|
|
alliance arose, named Mad As Hell. He denied all charges that eh was
|
|
involved, or ever involoved, with Mace's Alliance. He was proved wrong,
|
|
but noone dared attack. They al feared the alliance (And thier empires)
|
|
would be destroyed as the two alliances struck into battle. Elite kept
|
|
prodding Mad verbally, provoking him. He kept confronting him with new
|
|
evidence that was flooding from people like BountyHunter and the new
|
|
BroncoBuster. These two provided much information. Mad knew he was
|
|
cornered and so with a last desperate gamble secretly dared Elit to
|
|
attack him. Elite attacked Mad, and Mad declared war on the grounds of
|
|
no reason to attack. Most people believed Mad, even though the evidence
|
|
was so far in Elite's favor. They battled, on and on. Finally, Elite
|
|
garnered Dune Realms and Lil Red and Jed's help as he and Ultra pounced
|
|
Mad. Within 2 days, they had gotten alot of Mad's planets, and Mad
|
|
abdicated. This 'Mad As Hell War Incident,' caused the Second War Era..
|
|
|
|
And so the Second War Era began. A new alliance, with more members, and
|
|
some old ones deleted cam against the Geneva Alliance. Ultra saw the
|
|
threat and exposed it. Again, noone believed him. And so Ultra, Elite,
|
|
Bounty, and Bronco came forth verballt exposing, and threatening, the
|
|
new Dark Alliance. The result was war. Ultra declared war on the whole
|
|
Dark Alliance. They converged on him like flies stripping him of more
|
|
than 630 planets in one day. Ultra ws not destroyed though. This was the
|
|
closest he had ever come to death though. Unlike previous military
|
|
leaders who brushed close to death, Ultra did not abidcate. He hung in.
|
|
|
|
And with the new war Era, people were succumbing to the temptation to
|
|
join the Dark Alliance. Oddly, the Dark Alliance kept changing it's
|
|
empirial leaders. First it was Dominion (Or at lest, from all
|
|
indications it was), and he threatened all the members. But he started a
|
|
Dark Alliance trend by attacking, and verbally attacking, BroncoBuster.
|
|
The Dark Alliance took Bronco for almost all he had. The Dark Alliance
|
|
kept blabbing about their conquest, and how Bronco was good for nothing.
|
|
Fortunately, they stopped attacking him physically. Dune Realms started
|
|
supplying Bronco with special aid. Bronco slowly worke dhis way up. But
|
|
all the while he recieved aid, he was shipping alot of it to Ultra,
|
|
Elite, and BountyHunter. They needed it as well. Ultra was back on his
|
|
feet in no time. Although he only had a mere 200 planets.
|
|
|
|
Dominion was a hothead, and as Mad did, denied all charges against him.
|
|
Within 2 days, he was destroyed. Then, long Dark Alliance member Olympus
|
|
took over. Well, actually he verballized the most. With Dominions
|
|
perishment, Olympus, a newcomer named Micro Maniac, the God Wars, and
|
|
IncrediRealm established themselves. There really was no leader, but
|
|
Olympus was the closest thing to it. Ultra and Elite, meanwhile, had
|
|
threatened to seceede out of the Geneva Alliance to the Dark side, if
|
|
Dune Realms, Jed, and Lil Red did not take immediate militry action
|
|
against the Dark Alliance. All three succumbed.
|
|
|
|
The entry of Dune, Jed, and Lil Red into the fights began the third and
|
|
final war era known as the Conquestial War Era. The three mightiest
|
|
empires, and the vertabraes of the Geneva Alliance, had started
|
|
attacking. They found the Dark Alliance to be much more powerful then
|
|
the reports had said they were. But the trade deals to Bronco had fueled
|
|
enough money for one large army a day. With half the money he recieved,
|
|
he would buy up large army supplies and ship them to Ultra and Elite,
|
|
who re-entered the wars. After the supplies came in to Ultra and Elite,
|
|
the wars were basically over. Although fighting lasted for a couple of
|
|
days, it was in vain. The major empries had been cut down, or destroyed.
|
|
There were about 2 or 3 major empires on the Neutral or Dark side, but
|
|
they didn't matter. The biggest was Hydroxinia, but he was a Lukewarm
|
|
Empire. (He claimed to belong to the Geneva at first, but switched to
|
|
the Dark. He never actually attacked anyone though.) The others, were
|
|
not about to fight the Geneva Alliance's strong members.
|
|
|
|
This story is a great one. The sad part is, the founder, the workers,
|
|
and many people never got what they deserved. A few people hogged all
|
|
the wealth. True, te Geneva Alliance was not perfect, but the first
|
|
members of the Dark Allianmce drummed up alot of FAKE stories, or used
|
|
certain Geneva emmbers, to make it look like they were good freedom
|
|
fighters, and Geneva was evil. Fortunately, the Geneva Alliance held
|
|
together by the pursitence of 4 members who exposed the Dark Alliance
|
|
for what it was: A take-over plot. Right now, I will list the members of
|
|
the Geneva Alliance, in order of what honor they deserve.
